REFUSING TO VACCINATE A CHILD.

At the S..utliwark police court, In London, Williurn Eacott,
a tanner, was charged, under the Vaccination Act, with neg-
lecting and refusing to have his child vaccinated.

The vaccinating officer proved that the defendant's
child was attacked with smallpox, and notices were
served on him in the uvual way to have it vaccinated,
but he refuvoL

The lefet,,luteaid he objected to vaccination, as it
did not prevent the disease, but caused other com-
plaints.
. . . . .

The Magistrate told him he was not a medical man,
and had no right to act in opposition to those who had
proved vaccination to be neeessiwy.
The defeadant said he objected to it because he had
known children to be ill for years through it, and he
did not want his child to be a burden to him, but if
the Government would supply him with proper lymph
he would be willing to have the child vaccinated.
....
. . . . .

The Magistrate ;Ad him that if he had been willing
to have had his child vaccinated no doubt proper
matter would have been used by the medical officer
appointed for that purpose.
The defendant awerved that the law was virtually
abolished -by the House of Counnons.
The Magistrate told him that the Act was in force,
and he must obey the law. He was a very stupid and
obstinate man in not taking the neceseary precaution
to protect his child. As be had pleasled "Guilty," he
should fine him is, and the costs. The money was
immediately paid.

SENTENCE ON MR. PIGOTT, IN
DUBLIN.

At the Dublin Commission Court, on Monday,
judgment wai given in the csie Mr. Richard 11.40tt,
proprietor 4,f the Irishman, charged with publishing,
during the Kelley trial, a scandalous and nialieieles
libel, calculated to interfere with the adminidration
of jleitice, when he was sentenced to four mouth's im-
prisonment in Richmond BriilewelL
_ - -

The Lord Chief Justice, in giving judgment, con-
trasted the conduct of the /riahman with that of the
Mblin tally journals, which he complimented on their
abstaining from commenting while the case was pro-
ceeding, and on their accurate retorts of the trial. IN
then narrated the circumstances under which the libel
had been published, namely, in the very middle of b
trial for a capital offence. and proceeded to say that the
publication and sale of the paper having been proved
the only question for the Court would be the rightcon-
struction of the publication, which, according to the
rule laid down by Chief liedice Wilmott in the "King
r. Almon," must be what the plain and obvious sense
and words import, net suffering the slanderer to shelter
himself under any delusive covering or cloak whatever.
In saying that he did not think in the publication com-
plained of there was any cloak whatever. It was un-
varnished and unmistakable.
Ilia Lordship's summing up was of considerable
kWh.

THE PROGRESS OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA

The results of the Census of the colony of South
Australia show a slow but steady rate of progiena. The
number of inhabitants in the province on the 2.1 of
April last, when the Census was taken, was, aborigines
included, 188,995 souls, an increase since 1861 of
25,543 ; the aborigines ii bring 3,369. In 1861 there
were in the colony 65,048 make and 61,782 females
30,377 of the former being adults, or 126,8341 in all.
In 1866 the males numbered 85,334 and the females
78,153-40,486 of the former being adults a total
of 163,487. Out of the present population of
185,626 (the 3,363 aborigines being omitted) 95,408
were males anal 90,218 females 43,124 of the
males being adults. It will he seen from this that the
increase in males since 18416 doea, not bear able propor-
Son to the increase in females The knows numbered
in 1861 27,904, and in 1871 38,333, showing an increase
fn the ten years of 10,429. The land under cultiva-
tion in 1861 was 428,816 acres, and had increased in the
ten yearn to 959,006. or by 530,190 acres The number
of houses in the city of Adelaide increased in the same
period from 4,352 to 6,156 the population from 18,303
to 27,208, and the annual value from £150,652 to
I:212,840.
The tables in the return laid on the table of the two
HI/INEW are devoted to the aborigenes, anal show a
rapid diminution of the race, and an increase of sick-
ness among the survivors. In 1861 the Census returns
showed a native population in the occupied districts of
5,046 souls. In 1871 this number had dwindled to
3,369. The former number included 345 adults "sick
or infirm ; " the latter included 626 under the same
head. Thus in ten years the native population has
diminished by fully one-third ; while the sick anal in-
firm, who in in 1861, represented only 6.8 of the
whole number, maw include 18.6, or nearly one-fifth
of those who are left. It is also noticed that the dimi-
nution has been the most rapid where agricnitual settle-
ment anal population has most recently spread. The
three pastoral districts of the north, the north-east,
anal west present singular divergencies In the first
the nunilier of natives ha, fallen from 1,921 t., 700, in
the second halm 323 to 177, while in the third it had
increased from 682 to 1,308 The large diminution in
the north maysperhaps be accounted for by the long
drought, anal the increase in the west by assuming
that its more settled character has led to a more com-
plete enumeration of the aborigines within its limits.
There are still large tracts of the colony beyond the
reach of Census papers, anal in these the natives may
still be numerous and increasing.

THE REV. HENRY BEECHER ON
ENGLAND'S SYMPATHY.

On the subject of the Chicago fire and the sympathy
extended to the sufferers by this country, the Rev,
Henry Beecher made every happyreference 1m the 15th
ult., according to the report given of his observations
by the Kew York Son
'oh for a diamond-pointed pen," said Mr. Beecher, "to
catch lip all the sweet truths, the noble self-saoritlets which
tins lire has brought to light ! %nut hook: achievements !
More than we know ; not noire than angels chronicle. Let
us waste no more tears over Chicago. She is not dead, but
aleepeth. Hope is characteristic of that community. Man-
hood is stroggling up in Chicago 1,4!-Llay. Men are digging
through ashes to lay hot founilatums. Is not manhood
better than gold ? This spectacle is making the country
rich, and oh the noble examples or love ! The Queen
of England, from her imperial throne, Hashes an order
to Canada to empty the storehouses of blankets and
send them to Chicago. That touches icy heart. There is
more in those bhmketa to bind Canada and Great Britain to
our hearts than all England's muskets and all her ships of
war. In our late war there was some feeling aroused be-
tween England and this country. She has touched the other
side of the chord now. The City of baulon gives one
thousand guineas from its own treasury. Thank (Ma there
is one city in the world that's got a thousand guineas to give,
whose treasury is not completely empty. Churches and
theatres combine in the noble work. God bless the theatres!
The whole world is marching to one tune the drum stops,
and the heart of love beats, and that's the music we are

MISI:SE OF TIIE rOST-OFFICE.—A Now York
paper states that it has been the practice for some time
past to transmit diamonds and other valuable articles
in letters and papers from Europe to the United States
in order to evade the duty thereon. This has become
so general of late that Secretary Boutwell has sub-
mitted to the Postmaster-General a set of regulations
designed to meet the exigencies of the ease. It is pro-
posed that whenever foreign mails are received such
letters as contain more than written matter shall be
retained, and the party adilressed informed that a letter
awaits personal examination at the Post-oflice. By
the strict observance of this plan it is thought the
present system of evading the revenue laws will be
broken up.

PRESENTATION TO THE EMPRESS
EUGENIE.

Some months ago it Was resolved by the Imperial
adherents in Paris to present a testimonial of their
respect and affection to the Empress Euenie. At
first they determined to avail themselves of the oppos
tunity afforded by her Imperial Majesty's birthday,
May 26; but the troubles in which Paris was plunged
at that time rendered a postponement of this pro-
ject necessary. It was not, however, lost sight of,
and Tuesday, the 11th, being the Eve of the Fae
Ste. Eugenie, it was resolved that the presentation
should take place then. The testimonial, which consisted
of several objects, comprised a bouquet, measuring
some four yards in circumference, composed of camelias
and other choice flower., and encircled with a band of
silver letters, stating that the bouquet was resented
" In I 'onutesse de Pierrch olds " (the Empress's French
title). This was the gift of the ladies of Paris, of whom
a large number subscribed. Accompanying this was
an ablum nia.ssively mounted in gold, adorned with
the Imperial arms, and containing the signatures of
21,000 4,f the middle Classes the merchants, and
manufacturers of the capital of France. Another
bouquet almost as superb as that sent by the
ladies of Paris was added by the officers of
the Garde I nqslriale, while numerous smaller
collections of costly flowers were forwarded by
private individuals. In order to present these for-
mally to the Emperor on behalf of her Majesty, who
is now in Spain, a deputation consisting of fifteen
ladies and gentlemen left Paris on Tuesday morning,
arriving at Chiselhurst about three o'clock on Tuesday
afternoon. They were received in the grand hall at
Camden House by his Majesty and the Prince, aceonl•
panied by the gentlemen of the Imperial mite, when
the subjoined address to the Emperor was read:
"Sire—We bring you the regrets of our country, of which
we are the faithful echo. May your Majesty deign to convey
them to her Majesty the Empress on her return I rom Spain.
it would have been grateful to us to have seen the features
of our much-beloved Sovereign hut, since fortune has de-
clared otherwise, we shall wait to see her Majesty In God's
appointed time. Till then we shall hope on, praying for the
happiness and speedy return to France of the Imperial
tunny.
Vice rEmpereUr !
The Tlmpl.ratrice !
Vim e Is Prince IniVrial !"

The Emperor for a moment seemed unable to reply,
but at length mid:
. . .

"1 am eitremoly touched by the step which you have
taken, and I beg you to thank, In the name of the Em-
press and myself, those who have subscribed towards
these bouquets and this album. I also thank you for the
kind wishes you have been pleased to express. Adieu ! Au
revolt'

"THE GREAT NATIONAL ALMONER."

It is no wonder that the office of Lord Mayor of
London has such associations of veneration and re-
spect attached to it by foreigners (remarks the Daily
Noes.) The ex-Lord Mayor, in his speech at Thurs-
day's banquet, piinted out one remarkable function,
which, of late years, the confidence of the English
public has entnisted to the Chief Magistrate of the
City. The Mansion-house is the centre of our
national charity. The help we give to foreign nations
flows through it. Mr. Alderman 4/akin, in stating
that during the year of his mayoralty more than
£200,000 had been entrusted to him by the pub-
lic to be sent abroad. could fairly boast that "in
any cry of sorrow and suffering, the Mansion
house was Ifsiked to as a centre to which offerings
flowed, and from which help was administered." The
sufferings of Paris and France, the misfortunes of the
West Indian islands, the burned out citizens of
Chicago, and the starving thousands of Persia have all
been munificently helped. Such public confidence im-
poses a high public responsibility. The collec-
tion of such large sums is far easier than their ju-
dicious distribution ; and it may be hoped that each
successive Lord Mayor, as he enters on his func-
tions, may regard that of the great national
almoner as One of the highest. For the last twenty
years an average of a hundred thousand a year has
passed through the hands of the Lord Mayors, and
the sum seems not likely to decrease. It is singularly
appropriate that the City which is the centre of our
trade should also be the centre of our charity ; and we
trust that no effort will be spared to make the adminis-
tration of these large bounties as economical and
efficient as possible.

EXECUTION AT NORTHAMPTON.

On Monday truming, Richard Addington, ;iByears of
age, a shoemaker of Holcot, near Northampton, wag
executed within the precincts of the I%.ortlitunpton
County Gaol for the wilful, word r of his wife, Mary
Addington, on Tursd.:-, Aty 31, for whivh he was
condemned at tet recent Summer Assizes.
Durint t'ae preceding week strenuous efforts had ben
to obtain a reprieve. A meinuriol o:l,l3tig birth
the 0011(11117t of the murdererbefoee ttL commission of the
crime, with the view tf ek,,V. leg that he was subject to
mental aberratiotw .'id tits of insantity, had been pre-
pared by his I`‘', o brothers and endorsed by the most in-
tluestiet! Inhabitants of I i,,lett. The ntei,,,rial wadaid
before the 11,ime Secretary on Monday last, and copies
were also laid before Mr. justice Ryles, the Judge who
trio 1 literate. lln Friday no intimation having been re-
ceive ii rout the liome Secretary, twoor three influential
gentlemon of Northampton, together with Mr. ])rage,
one of the principal inhabitants of Proceedol, iii
contpany with Dr. Pritchard, to the Home-office, to
seek an interview with Mr. Bruce on the subject. They
were unable to see the right hon. gentleman. and left
a written ruprusentation In favour of P r4WieVP. It
appears, however, that Mr. Justiew I'4lm maw no suffi-
cient ground for recommending that the sentence of
the law should not be carried out, and accordingly the
unhappy man was h4liged.
Dui ing the period between his sentence pad the
morning el the execution, Addington treriVed mire-
mitting attention from the chaphdu ol the goal, the
nev. J. Dreaper, and there is cry reason to believe
he wag penitent. Ilia tlemeanour was calm and quiet,
and he tqtpears to have been resigned to his terrible
fate. He evidently joined in the prayers as they were
read lw Mr, Dreaper just before the fatal moment,
while the white cap was drawn over his head. Calcraft
did his work promptly, and death appeared to be in-
stantaneous.

The only persons present beSilif 1' the rnder-Sheriff,
one f the visiting justices, and the gaol and police
officials, were two or three representatives of the Press.
A considerable crowd had congregated outside the
prison, hot it behaved with elem.:la-um Thu black flag
was hoisted outside the prison, and a formal inquest

played a tine innings, all good cricket, and i.cored 39
runs. Mr. Millward made 11, and Mr. Swindell 10, the
latter number being gut before dinner; but on resuming
play he was out by the first ball, which ricochetted of
the pad. On the Stourport side Mr. R. Lea was the
only one who could make a stand against the excellent
bowling of Messrs. King, Parkes, Swindell, and Risk-
