this eame forward, after attempting fur six yenrs to never.•
principles which had neverthel, as hero prenounced "wit •.
Just, and beneficial." and occepred them at once, tiny
forfeited their claim to be called coma rvetive., and showisl

' tiilenee in the character, sine, rity, nod honesty of their
public men. And sure he was, he woo no friend of the
r. presentative institutions of Great Oritain, who tuisuell
the line vitich had been tak n by the "bowing miui.tiy."
(Chan 110 congratulated them, therofore, that there
was • fair prospect of its ri mainind nut of office. (Cheats.)
Ile also congratulated them on the sate the house of Com-
mon. bail given again.: the great magi, ian's bu•lget. (Ileac.

of oespect, as he did up in any into who had raised Wiesen
by his own talent.; soil he fa lt a sort of phi WWII that it
was he who had led a i road aristocracy. (Cheers.) Stilt

result (Hear, hear.) li,t (Mr. Osborne) repeated w bat
he had said before, that the budget was • budget of rum-
peuatio• to the agriculturist., and of retaliation against
the middle dames. (Cheers) Many of those who had
voted with the minority bad dictated, how that the budget
was &allayed, that they intended to have voted against it
in detail. (Hear, hear.) Hot the Rol of Derby *rid that
he haul been defeated by a combination and • vile con-
spiracy; and the inutile earl, iu his speech last night, had
shown his defiance of public uoinien by praising the most
unpopular mail in his cabinet,—for they could not have
forgotten the Mather erne—(cheers)—white he omitted to
mention the real working member or his Unistty. Ile had
said nothing about Mr. Dutreeli, hut he said a good deal
abort Lord Malmrabory. (Chute.) Hier, "like muter,
like moo." Msjur Reresford said that the charges against
him were • " vile conspiracy ;" and now Lord Derby re-
peated the santecry. It reminded Min (Mr. Osborne) of
seine lines he haul been readiug that very day respeetine

(Loud laughter.) Lord Derby's ministry is gone, but the
deluge had not come ; and, if it had, it should be return-
tweed that the deluge war caused by the sins of those eh°
went listen• it. (Laughter.) However, the ministry was
deceased : reguiescat its pore. (Laughter.) With respect
! to tie future government, there was a very general impres-
sion in the country that a pure Pulite was coming into
power. Nothing could be ►aid against Lord Aberdeen
All that was known of him was eminently creditable to
him ; for he was said to have been Sir Robert Peel's ad-
viser u to the repeal of the corn laws ; and it was under-
stood that when it was proposed that the re-
ps.d should he effected more gnelually, Lord Aber-
deen said "No, it must be done at once." (Cheers.)
Then there was the Duke of Newcastle, whom he (Mr. Os-
borne) respected greatly both publicly and privately. Ile
was a statesman that sympathised with the wan•s of the
people; and, is the language of the turf, or more properly
of the late ministry, he was prepared to " run oa," end
would Improve in Ilia paces. (leer, hear.) Still he (Mr.
B. ashen.) trusted that the new government would
not be an unmitigated Pulite one, but that it would
contain some men who were connected with the great
popular party. (Cheers.) Certainly his confidence in it
would be materially increased if it contained the name
of Lord John Russell, than whom, considering the length
of his services, no public man could show a cleaner rill of
health or • better cured. r. (Cheers.) While, however,
they demanded so much from their public men there were
duties which they owed to them. Teey ought not to be
too excessive in their impatience, or too lax in their con&•
denoe. It behoved all reforrnereto exercise two qualities
—union and furbearance. Mr. Macaulay had well observed
that the life of all political Wien— not principle, hut action,
—must to a certain extent be a life of compromise. (Cheers.)
Again, to use the truthful words of Burke:—. A man full
• of warm, speculative benevolnce, may wish society other-
wise constituted than he finds it ; but • good patriot, and ■
true politician, always considers how be may make the
most of the existing materials of his country ; • disposition
to preserve, and an •hility to improve, taken togethtr,
would be my standard of • statesman." (Loud cheers.) He
(Mr. Osborne) trusted that the no•. government would
he prepared to act upon a true liberal basso, and would help
forward the great cause of progressive •ud rati mai reform.
(Loud cheers.)
Mr. StursoN proposed "Mr. Ilume and the House of
Commons." (Loud cheers.)
Mr. Neoax then gave "Civil and religious liberty;"
after which the health& of the chairman, the stewards, the
ladies, &e., were proposed and duly honoured, and the
meeting broke up.

DEATH OF THREE PERSONS FROM IN.

HEALTH OF LONDON MAHN° TILE WEEK.

The official report nye: The rate of mortality in
the metropolitan distrie.s has been nearly uniform during
the three weeks of December. The deaths rose to
1,1112 in the first, declined truly to 1,012 in the neat, and in
the week that t mica last Smut day rose again to 1,011. In
the ten weeks pointing to live wet k of the years
1812-51 the average number WAS 1,190, which, with a ear-
reetion fur increase of popelation, gives a mortality fir the
present time of 1,309. Intiuenzs, which prevailed at the
end of 1817, when in the corresponding week 1,946 persons
died from all CAMS, has contributed to swell this average;
but without releren, to the casual effect of an epidemic,
the comparison still :Ailed, gratifying evidence of an im-
provement in the public health It will be wen that erg's-
Vara in particular localities confirm this observation.
Daring the last tour weeks the mortality caused by
"li)niiitic diseases in the aggregate. ex Onto remarkable uni-
formity; the deaths in this Cass were successively 207,
"210, 212, and (last week) 211. In the same times those
feat' scarlatina were 72, 59, 62, and 00. Of 5 deaths from
small-pus, one navurred in the fisnallipoz llospital, being
that of a female servant Irons Pimlico, aged 17 yi ars, who
died on 16th December of " small pot, confluent, unmodi-
, tied (It dive)," said to have beta vac inated when 7
months old at Leominster by a 110111A11; no cicatrix. At
338, Albsny•road, Camberwell, a prifessor of astronomy,
aged 61 years, died on 12th December, of" bilious diarrlirea
with vomiting (4 days), cholera without spasm (28 hours)."
In St. Ones.in-the-Fields' south sub-district, at 49,
Par-
ker-street,'ar the 13th arid 11th December, two sons of a
bisket-maker, aged respectively 3 years and 11 months,
died of scsulatina maligns, out after d days, the other atter
7 day.' ilium. Mr. Faulkner, the registrar, states that
" scarlatina is very prevalent in his district; he registered
3 deaths from it last week, and in each of the two families
there is another child not expected to recur, r."
In Clapham, in Bolton-court, Drumell's-road, on 15th
December, the d &tighter of a horse-keeper, aged 6 years,
died from "diarrheas produced by poisoning from the
drains." (Inquest.) Mr. Frost, the registrar, adds the
following description The court is • very coasted place,
wit'ssia houses in it. At the hack is a narrow paaage
leading to the privy, which is the only one fur the uceof all
the families in the wart. The drain was quite full, and the
effluvium arising most offensive. Tne houses are very dirty,
particulaily the one in which the death occurred. I visited
the court again this morning, and found the owner had
commenced cleaning out the drains."
lu the sub-district of Lambeth Church (2nd part), at 1,
White Lion court, on 13th and 17th December, two
daughters of a labourer, aged 4 years, sad 1 yea', and 11
months respectively, died of •• scarlatina malign.," one after
11 days, the other after 10 days' illness. Mr. Wheatley,
tae registrar, says: "Thew death., with one reported in
the previous seek, make three that have occurred in the
same family. I visited the family for Cie purpose of regis-
tering the last case and inspecting the house, which I found
in a very dirty, miserable, and dilapidated condition. The
mother informed me that at limes there is a driadful
cruch at the back of the premises, front some unituow n
cause. She thinks her neighbour at the bottom of the
court has occasionally some offensive matter on the premises,
or burns something that produces the effluvium. She has
but one child left."

In tho sub-district of St. Peter, Walworth, at 11, Park-
place, Baguet, on 11th December, the son of a solicitor,
aged 11 jeers, died of " scarlatina (14 days)." Mr. Tinier,
the registrar, states that "this is the third death in this
family that hss occurred 'filth' 8 weeks from the same
discs's." At 15, Ituddoch's-buildings, Shoreditch, on 11th
D.ceinber, the daughter of a career, aged 12 years, died of
"scarlatina (3 week.), dropsy." Mr. Alabaster, the regis-
trar, mentions that "out of 8 children in this family, 3
have Leen carried off by scarlatina, which has been very
prevalent in this court." Mr. Murray, registrar of the
sub-district of Ileckney-road, mentions Weatherhaad-
gardens, where a fatal case of scarlatina occurred, as "a
low, damp place, without (Inhume' " sod Smith's.piace,
King.street, when a man died of typhus, as " • very close,
overcrowded, damp, sad undrsined court."
In the sub-district of 1,,..ng Acre, at 6, Vinegar-yard,
Bridges-street, the son and daughter of a shoemaker, aged
3 years and 1 year, died on 10th and 12th December re-
spectively of " pneumonia," one after 5 weeks', the other
after 4 .weeks' illness. On the certificate of the medical
attend amt are the following remarks : These children had
been respectively 3 weeks and 2 weeks ill when first seen
by ine, and up to the Sunday preceding their deaths I hoped
to restore health, but the influence et three cesspools ad-
joining the honed rendered all efforts useless."
Mr. Ansel', registrar of the cab-district of Roston, New
town, who registered 7 deaths last week, says:—" During
the 11 years I have resided in Hoxtun I have not known it
to be wore healthy than at present, and considering the ea
teat and oopulatio6 of this district the mortality is exceed-
ingly low. It will be seen that I have not registered the
death of one adult this week, and none during the last fort-
night at St. Luke's Workhouse."
Mr. items, replant. of the sub-district of Whit/chapel
Church, observes that " 21 days have now elapsed without
the registration of any deaths, except those in the London
Hospital. This certainly is a very satisfactory state of
things in a district where the mortality 'is generally high ;
it almost challenges comparison with Lewisham, the most
healthy, or St. George, lianover-square, the most wealthy,
of the metropolitan districts."
A mau unknown, shunt 45 years of age, was found
drowned on the 14th December in the New River Canon
bury, Islington. Mr. Butterfield says This body had
been in the water at least a fortnight; the number of bodies
found in the New Barer is diminished in consequence of
the extension of proper fences."
The following cases in addition to the above are *sleeted
from the week's returns :—" A man, aged 65 years, died
on 10th December, from accidental asphyxia with his
neckerchief, in an attempt to remove it when intoxicated,
it having been worn round his neck in a slip knot." A
woman, about 57 years, was found dead on 13th December,
having been " accidentally suffocated and burnt while
intoxicated." Besides these, two deaths are ascribed
directly to in'empereace, and one to privation. In
Charing-cross Hospital, on 7th December, a tailor, aged 72
years, died of " very large carbuncle."
Last week the births of 878 boys and 784 girls, in all
1,662 children, were registered- in London. The average
number in smelts corresponding weeks of 1846-61 was 1,377.
.At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 29.318 in. Oa
Wednesday the mean daily reading was 28 914 in., and on
30 Saturday •044 in. The mean temperature of the week
was 48 deg. 6 min., which is 7 deg. 6 min. above the
average of the same week in ten years. The mean daily
temperature was about 10 degrees above the average on the
first three days, and from 6 deg. to 8 deg. above it on the
next three days. On Friday the. mean temperature was
49 deg., and on Saturday it fell to 41 deg. Till Saturday
the wind blew from the south and south-west ; it then
changed to N.N.W. The mean difference between the
dew point temperature and air temperature wee 6 deg.

WOllll3O Or PUSEITEIM IN WESSMINEITRIL —Last
night a meeting of the ratepayers of St.Anne'sWestrainater,
was held in the vestry-room, for the purpose of providing
fur the repairs of the parish church, and eh* for certain
deficiencies in the fund for carrying on the ordinary ser-
vice. The Rev. Nugent Wade presided. The report of
the committee showed that fur the repairs 12W., and fur
other expense, 1101., would be required, and a_ penny rate
MU recommended as adequate to this outlay. Mr. Cooper,
surgeon, moved that a halfpenny rate be granted, and was
expressing his regret that the innovations of the rector
had reduced them from a state of independence to the
necessity of recurring to a rate which would strike
their nonconformist fellow parishioners, when he was in •
terrupted by the rector, who said he would tolerate oo
animadvenions of that nature, but would adjourn the
meeting were they not suspended. Mr. Cooper, resuming,
observed that it was most pertinent to remark that the
conduct of the rector was precisely the CAMS of their diffi-
culties. Here the rector again interfered, amidst much
uproar, but Mr. Cooper went on, and concluded by moving
that half the own demanded be granted. Mr. Marshall
seconded the motion. An amendment for adjourning the
question, and another for granting the satire penny, were
rejected, and Mr. Cooper's resolution was carried, alter Mr.
George, the senior churchwarden, had explained that the
result of the practices introduced by the rector into the
parish was that the rentalliad beau diminished from between
'
4001. and GOO/. to one.tenth of th.t amount, and as the
parishioners continued to desert the church for neighbour-1
Leg churches, they must look for a church rate every year in future.
