the necessary arrangements for the disembarkation of their
Royal High:Kase@ the Prince and Princess Louis of Hew at
Gravesend, the Bustler eteem-vessel, with a party of riggers,
is charge of Mr. Jones, will leave the harbour to-morrow,
and proceed down the river, for the purpose of laying down
moorings off the Terrace-pier for the royal steam-yacht Vic-
toria. and Albert. The disembarkation will take place
under the direction of Commodore Nicolson, as flag officer
of the port ; and their Royal Highnesses, after landing, will
leave Gravesend by special train on the North Kent Railway.
Two of the massive 41-inch thick wrought-iron plates
received from the contractors, Meows. Brown, of Sheffield,
for the armour-deed frigate Caledonia, have broken whilst
being subjected to the bending promos by hydraulic pressure.
The plates appear to be well made, sod of the best material,
but as they are bent cold, the slightest Saw on the surface
invariably gives way under the immense pressure of the
hydraulic machine.

Eirrura or LON DON. —lt appear. from the weekly
return of the Registrai -General that the mortality of Londoie
was high in the week that ended last Saturday. The deaths
were 1,184 in the last week of October : they rose to 1,307
in the first week of November. The average number of
deaths in ten weeks (18.32-61) corresponding with last week,
with ► correction for increase of population, is found to be
1,739; and hence 68 persona died last week more than the
number that would have been returned if the average rate
of mortality for the beginning of November bad ruled. The
most fatal of the diseases of the zymotic order was scarlatina,
which numbered 89 deaths. Measles was fatal toll° children
and one adult, 8 of which cases were in Bethnal-green, 4 in
the sob-district, St. Mary Magdalen (Bermondsey), 4 in
that of St. Peter, Woodworth, and 4 in the Waterloo-road,
second sub-district. Of deaths by scarlatina, the numbers
returned by the following cub district. were :—St. Margaret,
Westminster, 5 • Church, Bethnal-green, IS ; St. Peter,
Walworth. 5 ; and Britton, 4. There were 13 deaths from
small-pot, 7 of which occurred in the east districts. Phthisis
was fatal in the week in 152 cases; and the deaths from
bronchitis rose to 101. A child, aged 8 months, died in
Burratreet. Aldiate ; the cause of death is returned as
follows :—" Diarrhos (1 month), accelerated by, if not en-
tirely origin►ting from, arsenical paper-hanging." Last
week the births of 921 boys and 911 girls, in all 1,832
children, were registered in London. In the ten eons•
upending weeks of the years 1832.61 the avenge number
(corrected) was 1,837.
THE W KAMER IN SCOTLAND. Winter burst
upon us yesterday (Monday) in • form more palpable, if not
more severe, than the recent heavy gales—namely, in that
of a mart snow-storm. The fall commenced in the morning
and continued heavily till some time past noon, about
an inch of snow whitening the city. The sun, which shone
out about one o'clock, combined with the beat of the
town, converted this snowy coating into • most unplea-
sant compound of mud and water, which again towards
evening froze into • slippery varnish of dirt and
ice. The frost was not keen, the wind being
westerly, and the thermometer in town only touching
the freezing point. The approach of the storm may be
held to have been indicated by the remarkable fall in the
barometer which took place between Saturday and Monday,
amounting to nearly nine-tenths of an inch. The instru-
ment at the Board of Trade Nautical School marked at 3
p.m. on Saturday 29.804 in. ; yesterday, at 9 a.m.. it stood
at 28932; but at 3 p.m. it had risen • little, standing then
at28'951. We m►y mention here that owing to the re-
moval of the instruments to another position, the publica-
tion of the ezoelletit meteorological tables furnished us by
this establishment will be unavoidably suspended for • day
or two.—Seotrinan._ _

Dr. Spicks moved that the petitioner, who had obtained a
verdict against his wits, be ordered to attend and be ex.
amined on behalf of the Queen's Proctor.
Sir O. Cnrowell had great difficulty in making such an
order, but offered to suspend the divorce till the petitioner
had attended.

After •ahem diacuseion further proceedings ware ordered
to be stayed as roweled.
lAGO N. lAGO AND OBAHAIL—Brzw mut.
Mr. Daly moved that a rule nisi which bad been obtained
far a new trial be made absolute.

Dr. Spinks showed cane against the motion, contending
that the question before the jury had been purely one of
credibility of witneues, and that the verdict ought tostand.
Mr. Daly argued that the acquittal of the respondent
hod admen solely from the mistake of one of the witnesses as
to data, and that if there were not a new trial the interests
of justice would materially suffer.
Mr. Searle appeared for the co-respondent.
Sir C. Creswell thought the rule ought to be made abso-
lute. If the witness bad really committed the mistake
of which she said she had been guilty it had made all the
difference between her testimony confirming or contradict-
ing that cf two other principal whereas.

Sir C. ClllllBl/11111 —What is its nature?

of the personal inability of the respondent to contract
matrimony.
Sir C. Creswell—OD what ground?
Dr.

Sir C. Cresswell—Then this gentleman wishes to show
that she has been guilty of bigamy.
Dr. Spinks—That is not so, my lord.
Sir C. Cresswell—Wby not?
Dr. Spinks—Becanee he might not have been aware when
he contracted the de facto marriage that the respondent had
a husband.

Sir C. Cresewell—lt seems to me a farce to say that,

The citation was, therefore, ordered to Uwe.

The bankrupts were drug•merchants, d Clerkenwell.
They pared through the court some time ago, but a ques-
tion now mese as to whether the joint creditors were entitled
to prove against the separate estate of Walker, which is
solvent, with a large surplus.
Mr. Bagley, Mr. Bargood, Mr. Link War, and Mr. Letts
appeared in the case.
His Honour held that the joint creditors should be ad-
mitted to prove against the estate of Walker, the whole of
the joint estate having been transferred to him on the dis-
solution of the partnership.

dul
Mr. E. Reed supported the application.
Mr. Begley opposed on the ground that the deed did not
fulfil the conditions required by the act. The creditors
were not fully set out.
The matter came before Mr. Registrar Harlitt at a former
sitting, by whom it was referred to his Honour.
His Honour now expressed the opinion that the deed was
defective, and therefore that he could not interfere to order
the release. The debtor's liabilities are stated at about
8,0004

Thin was the adjourned sitting for !woofs of debt and
choice of assignees. The bankrupt, who was late mayor
of Hull, was a large shipowner and merchant of that place,
having also off me in Nicholas-lane, Oity. There was a
large atteodence of creditors, and several other first sittings
being fixed for the mune time, the state of the court was
frightful—and creditors bad almost to fight their way to the
table to register their proofs.
Proofs to the amount of about 32,0001. wore taken, and
the following creditors were chosen trade iodinate :—Mr.
Martin Samuelson, shipbuilder, of Hull ; Mr. John
Thomas Dobson, merchant, of Hull ; Mr. Peter Brame,
Hall. gunpowder manufacturer, of Lambardatreet ; and
Mr. F. G. Westmoreland, merchant, of Moorgate-street.
The amount of liabilities, as already stated, is about
698,0001. ; no accurate estimate can yet be formed of the
amount of the assets. _ _ _

THE POLICE COURTS.

ILiNt?4ON-HOIII3E.

The Lord Mayor for the ensuing year (Alderman Rose)
came into court punctually at twelve o'clock, the hour ap-
pointed for the commeocement of the business. His lord-
ship, addressing Mr. Goodman, the chief, and Mr. Oke, the
second clerk, said that on taking his seat for the first time
at the Mansion-house as the chief magistrate of the City of
Landon, he naturally felt some little anxiety with regard
to the performance of his duties, in consequence of the
admirable manner in which the business of the court bad
been conducted by his predecessor during the last two years.
He was sure, however, that he should have the coo
of the gentlemen whom he was then addressing, aad of all the
other officials of the court ; and for himself, he would only
say that it would be his determination he devote all his at-
tention to the requirements of his postilion, and that he
would do all in his power to carry out the business of the
court in a manner that would be satisfactory and convenient
to the public.
The greater part of the sitting was occupied in disposing
of charges of picking pockets during the procession on the
previous day.
In one of the cases the prisoner was seen running very
fast aloug Gutter-lane, and his manner exciting the suspi-
cion of a polioe-coostable, he stopped him, and he imme-
diately called out, "I've got it," and at the same time
handed him a gold chain and a watch, the former of which
was broken sod had evidently been snatched from its
owner's pocket with great force.
The constable informed has lordship that he had not yet
been able to find an owner for the watch, but it had no
doubt been stolen from some one in the crowd.
The prisoner upon being applied to to account for the pos-
session of the property, said he " picked it up," and he gave
it to the constable because he thought, he was the most
proper person to have it. (A laugh.)
The Lord Mayor remanded the prisoner in order to give
the officer en opportunity of finding the owner of the watch
and chain.

There were several came of robbery that had occurred in
the neighbourhood of Bow Church, and they were in a gyeat
measure to be attributed to the silly conduct of some of the
inhabitants of that locality.
It appeared that during the afternoon, when the Lord
Mayor's procession was expected to return, some of the
persons at the windows, and on the tops of the houses, at
the spot mentioned, threw half-pence among the crowd, and
this, of course, occasioned a great deal of scrambling and
confusion, which was speedily taken advantage of by the
pickpockets.
The Lord Mayor expressed his surprise that respectable
persons should have been guilty of such silly and mis-
chievous conduct. The police had quite enough to do,
under ordinary circumstances, to preserve order and prevent
the commission of robberies, but such a proceeding as the
one referred to was only calculated to give greater facilities
to the pickpockets to plunder the public. His lordship
added that he hoped such a course of conduct would not be
pursued on any other similar occasion.
In some of the macs that were brought before his lordship
the prisoners were sent to Newgate for trial, and in others
they were summarily dealt with, and sentenxd to dillerait
periods of imprisonment.

Mr. Barker telly oimunitted tie prisoner to the sessions
for trial, and refused bail.

LAMBETH.
Mr. James Bridgett, the proprietor of the extensive
vitriol works adjoining the New Kennluton•park,
formerly the property of Mr. Fanner, appeared before Mr.
Elliott to answer to a summons taken out spinet him by
direction of Sir George Grey, the Home Secretary, charging
him with using in his trade a furnace not constmated was
to consume its owu emeke.

From the evideace adduced it that in the month
of December last year the dotendist had bees convicted in
a penalty of S 4 for a similar offence. The nuisance con-
tinuing after this, Mr. Minderson, the Government In-
spector, visited the premises is June le" sad gliding that
some of the premiss seed wee in the same stale as before,
a cautionwas given, when time ma required to amply with
the terms of the act. Dews black smoke continued to ism*
from the tall chimney shaft, sad on the fah of October Mr.
Sanderson paid a further visit to the when he
found that, notwithstanding the required time l.sd bees
panted, the required alteratices bad sot been made, and
hence the present premed's"
Mr. Sanderson deposed to the defeetive state in which he
found some of the formes*, and said that in one place, the
plumber's department, there was a stove is a room from
which there was no shaft to carry away the smoke, and
therefore it had to make its way out of the place as it
could.

Inspector Dann also demised to basing cautioned the
persons on the premise*, and to an application being made to
the Commissioners of Police for three months to amble
the defendant to make the required amendment,
Police-constable 408 P read from the notes he had taken
at the time, the dates and the length of time the dense
black smoke was seen to issue from the chimney.
In his cross-examination by the defandant, the witness

mid that the dense black =Wei begneetly beet from the
top of the shaft to the ground, walleeafing the whole neigh-
bourhood.

The defendant, in reply to the evidence, seemed the
magistrate that, regardless of expense, over
and had
re been done toremedy the evil complained that,
with the exception of one—and that be intended to remove
to a different part of the premises—be had placed to the fur-
naces patent doors and bare, and had also got smokeless coals
to burn, so that no complaint could be made.
The defendant here called George Jacket, the keeper in
Kennington-park, to prove that for the last five or six
months he had not observed a greateiquantity of smoke to
proceed from the shaft of the factory than usual ; but when
edged about the state of the smoke at the time mentioned
by the officers he was unable to state.
Mr. Fraser, the foreman of the works, was also called, sad
spoke of some improvements being made with respect to
some of the furnaces, and said that the fireplace complained
of by Mr. Sanderson as having no abaft to cam away the
smoke was one which was very seldom used, and that only
for melting some lead. In ropy to a question from Mr. San-
dman the witness admitted that that gentleman told him
that if the same improvements that he proposed were made
in one of the furnaces it would answer every
purpose
Mr. Elliott remarked that it appeared to him if the
provisions of the act wore set at defiance ; and be convicted
the defendant in a penalty of 101.

William Royal, bed late barman at the Pigott
Arms public-house, at the corner of the Fiat India.
road and Pigott-street, Limehoums, was brought before Mr.
Woolrych on remand, charged with stealing • gold Albert
chain end • Memel calf-skin, value 31. 10e., the property of
Mr. James Coleman, • commercial traveller.
After the case hrd lasted some time,
Mr. Young said it had been intimated to him that the
prisoner wished to plead guilty to the charge. On the part
of the prosecution he (Mr. Young) was very willing the
case should be disposed of under the Criminal Justice Act.
He submitted this was a case in which the magistrate would
be fully justified in sentencing the prisoner to six months'
imprisonment.
Mr. Beard's siert said he hoped the magistrate would deal
leniently with the prisoner. It was the first offence of the
young man, who bad behaved very well for six months
while he was in the service of Mr. Holmes, the landlord of
the Pigott Arms.
.. s
.....

Tbe"prisoner said that although be had pleaded guilty, be
could assure the magistrate the gold chain was only taken
in a joke at first.
Mr. Woolrycb said he could not believe that. This was a
very sad cue indeed. The prisoner, who bad hitherto
maintained a good character, bad yielded to a sudden temp-
tation and taken the prosecutor's gold chain. It would
require many years of rectitude and honesty for the prisoner
to retrieve the good character be bad lost. He sentenced
the prisoner to three months' imprisonment and bard
labour.
