THE WESTMINSTER MURDER.

A notification was received yesterday at the gaol
of Newgate directing that the genteel*, of death pared upon
W. Malony at the October session of the Central Criminal
Court, for the murder of his wife, should he commuted to
that of penal servitude for life. The prisoner ever since his
conviction has continued to assert in the moat positive man-
ner that he is innocent of the crime, and when the an-
nouncement was made to him of the commutation of the
capital punishment, he again declared that his wife de-
stroyed herself, and that he had been unjustly convicted.

CITY SEWERS COMMISSION.

The weekly meetiug of the oommisaioners of
sewers was held yesterday at Guildhall; Mr. Deputy
am= ixesitting.

THE 11ANIT.U11 CONDITION OF TEI CITY.

Dr. Letheby. the medical of cerof hasillimperted on the
state of 167 houses that had been inspected dentegthe wady
and submitted a list of 41 places for sanitary improvement.
The markets and slaughter•houses bad been duly inspected
during the week, and the officers had seised 1,27.21b5. of
meat as unfit for human food. It consisted of eight *heap,
five pigs, eight quarters of beef, and four joints of meat
8871bs. of the meet were dimmed, and 3151bs from animals
that had died from natural ceases. He likewise reported
that the inspector of cowhousee had at his request made a
special examination of the Mate of the °owe in the City,
and from the returns which he had furnished it was evident
that a large amount of disease prevailed among these
animals. Some of them are suffering from lung
diseases, others from mouth disease (epizootic aphthis),
others from foot disease. and a few from disease of
the udder. All of these Jimmies are oontsoous. and give
to the milk properties which cannot fail to he injurious to
those who use it. Indeed, in some cams the so-called
murrain, which is a contagious eruptive fever, has prevailed
in the cowhouste of London, and has shown itself by an
eruption in the mouth, teats, and feet of the animals. Under
these circumstances the milk is positively poisonous, sad is
capable of causing eruptive fever in those who drink the
milk. Dr. Letheby said he mentioned this with the autho-
rity of Jacob and Professor Harting, of Berlin, both of
whom have ascertained from experiments and observation
that it is so. He had also been informed by Mr. Gunge.,
the principal of the veterinary college at Edinburgh, that
some milk would produce disease, and even cause the
deaths of pip and calves if they partake of it. When
such milk, even in small quantities, is added to
wholesome milk, it infects it with dangerous pro-
perties. He had already reported to the court, from
frequent examination* of the milk supplied from
the cowhouses of the City, that it often contains
globules of matter like common pus. He suggested that as
the question of the appointment of a second inspector for
the examination of markets, oowhouses, and daughter-houses
in the City was under consideration, a more systematic
inspection of cowliouses should be made, and that means
should be taken to prevent the sale of milk from diseased
animals. . .

....
The mortality returns for the week were rather below the
average for the season. At the beginning of the year the
number of deaths was 51, and in the cold weather it rose to
66, mita= to 75 ; last week, however, the number was
only 53 ; the average for the corresponding week of the lad
six years being 67 ; 24, or nearly half of the deaths, were
among infanta, and 10 amongst old persons. The chief
causes of death were chronic affections, and there were bat
2 deaths from phthisis, 4 from pneumonia, and 6 from
bronchitis

azAzrs OP LONDON.

The weekly return, issued by authority of the
Registrar-General, states that London onntinum to ex.
hibit a high rate of mortality. In the week that ended
on Sat ay the number of deaths registered was 1,492,
whilst the average for corresponding weeks in ten previous
years corrected for population is 1,414. During the lent
week 11 persons died dally, whose names would not hare
been inscribed on the registers if the estimated rate of
mortality had ruled.
In the four weeks of the first month of this year the deaths
were returned in the following numbers :-1,561, 1,391,
1,569, and 1.492.—1 n the week that ended on the 4th Ja-
nuary the mean temperatures of the air was 34.1 deg. ; it
was in the four weeks that followed 42.9 deg., 35 degs.,
p.,
136.1 de and 45.8 dep. With the exception of the second
week of December, the mean temperature of last week was
higher than it has been since the end of October.
The deaths from typhus, which had risen in the previous
week to 94, fell last week to 70. There were 6in the east
sub-district, of Mile-end Old4own. Scarlatina was fatal in
the same number of cases, six., 70, and of these 5 occurred
in the east subdistrict of Winton. Of 21 deaths from
measles 4 occurred iu the workhouse at Norwood. The
mortality from broochitia was high, for 216 deaths were re-
ferred to this complaint last week, the enervated average
being 191. In the mine week of last year, however, they
were 289. There were 163 deaths from phthisis. Whooping-
wogh carried off 68 children lank week, croup 25, which is
double the average, diphtheria 15.
The oldest persons recorded in the list of last week are •
widow who died at the age of 95 years, and a man at 97.
Last week the births of 1,007 boys and 1,013 girls, in all
2,020 children, were registered In London. In the ten cor-
responding weeks of the years 1852.61 the average number
(corrected) was 1,969.

TOTAL DESTRUCTION OP THE WESTMINSTER-

BRIDGE IRON WORKS.

An extensive tire, accompanied by great tlestrue, •
tion of valuable property, oocurred last evening on the ,
premises of the Westininster-bridge Iron world", situated in ,
Battersea-fields, on the banks of the Thames, and imam-
&Lately adj.:est to the Lambeth Waterworks. The works
consisted of a large range of sheet-iron and wooden sheds,
with exteosive timber framework, the whole covering some
acres of ground. The fire was die:covered about 8 o'clock
by the watchman raging in the main shed, where the iron
work fur the new Weetruinsterbridge is principally pre-
pared. An alarm was at once given, and mounted expressos
were sent off to the various seem, stations. Long before
their arrival, however, the whole of the immense
range, sheds, and workshops were all in dames.
The amines arrived about 9 o'clock, and a plen-
tiful "apply of water being at hand, the lire-
mien at once set to work, but finding all their efforts us►
lees to save any of the workshops or their contents, directed
their attention to the immense piles of wooden framework
which had by this time ignited. The scete at this time
was particularly grand and impressive. The pooderons
names of iron were glowing with beat, ad the biasing of
the water from the engine pipes as it was poured over them
presented an extraordinary combination of sight and sound.
At tee o'clock the whole of the iron rooffog and framework,
with the largo iron girders for the bridge, fell to the ground
in a heap of ruins with • noise like thunder, and for
egretsl minutes obscuring the premixes from the view of
the many thousand spectators who lined every available
spot where • sight of the contlagraties could be
obtained. It was reported that some of the AMONG were
buried beneath the ruins, but the trath of this, to the 00111.
fusion, could not be ascertained. By eleven o'clock the
denies were got under, and there fortunately being no dwel.
ling-bowies near, all further danger was at an cud. The
premise* of the Lambeth Water-works were, however, at
one time in great danger. The ruins of the premises de-
stroyed cover about an acre of ground. The exact loss of
property could not be asoarialuel, but it must be very
large and it is feared the works of the bridge will be rei.
wiled to some time. The view of the fire from Millbank
and from Vauxhall and Battersea bridges was very grand,
and the bridges were lined with people. There was also a
great number of boats 6Ued with spectators on the river
from which also a good view of the fire could be obtained!
A great may serious accidents occurred among the crowd
in their eagerness to peers onward to the loess of the fire,
the night being dark, and the ground for seerly halfa-
rude round the works being strewed with heaps of timber
and iron.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(nod on owx

PARIS, TITZEIDAY EYNNDIG.

The official contradiction by the Moniteur of the
assertions of the independance relative to Count
Walewsid and the Roman question is the more
valuable because It well known that the senti-
ments attributed to Count Walewaki are really en-
tertained by him, and moreover by his wife, who
is a notorious crony of the Empress in all court in-
trigues against Italy. In all probability the cot-
respondent correctly reported what Count Walewski
really did aay to some of the senators, but the
Moniteur's quick reply shows the Emperor's deter-
mination not to be responsible for such doctrines,
and to hold by the policy intimated to Cardinal
Antonelli by IL Lavalette. This note, therefore, con-
siderably enhances the hope already entertained that
the Emperor is seriously looking forward to the
_ _

evacuation of Rome. A Turin letter in the Mats
[published in yesterday's Express] tends to confirm
this view. I hear that Prince Napoleon, who has
quite recovered from his recent it nessorill certainly
make a speech in the Senate before going to Eng
land, and moreover that he intends to produce new
and important documents relating to Roman affairs.
The Emperor has been to Versailles to-day with
Prince Richard de Metternich, on • sporting
excursion.

It is stated that at the meeting of the Copyright
Commission yesterday the principle of perpetual
property wag warmly advocated by M. Nogent
Saint Laurens. M. Dupla; without repudiating
that principle, suggested various regulations to
prevent the abuse of it. M. Suin was of opinion
that the present law of copyright is sufficient.
Another meeting will be held to-morrow.
At the Bourse there was a great deal of
buoyancy during the greater part of the day, but
the Bente and several other securities suffered a

considerable reaction before the close of business.
The Rente, after fluctuating between 71fr. 65c.
and 71fr. 40c., closed at 71fr. 15c. for cash and
71fr. 40c. for account, with a fall of sc. in each
case. The Italian loan, after being quoted at 68fr.
60c., left off at 68fr. 10c. with a rise of only 100.
Whiner rose 17fr. 50c. The Orleans and Eastern
railways realised an improvement of 10fr. each ;
Western rose 6fr. 25c. ; Eastern and Lyons, 3fr.
75c. each ; and Northern, lfr. 25c. K Gonin's
report on the conversion of the Four-and-a-Half
per Cents. will be presented to-morrow.

NAPLES.

The Italian deputy, M. Petruccelli della Gattina,
thus sums up his opinion on the state of Naples at
the conclusion of a long letter dated from that
city, Nov. 2, addressed to the Presse of Paris :

The condition of Naples is bad, but, not irreprrable ;
to effect a core there is no need to can in foreign doctors,
as has been done for Garibaldi. If the government should
be lucky enough to find a dozen or fifteen capable men to be
prefect; ; if it should please God, by a miracle, to give to
the city of Naples a prefect, a mayor, ands municipal coun-
cil endowed with intelligence, activity, and a truo under.
standing of the spirit of the revolution, men who have seen
and understood what has been done in Perim ; if the parlia-
ment shall accept the proposal which I intend fru divrith to
make that the session of 1863 shall be held in Naples—l
am not speaking of making it the capital ; I do not inter-
fere with a principle, but only propose a remedy- -then, and
in such case, you will see brigandage extinguished in a few
months without the violent treatment of M. Lemartrions ;
the city and provinces will be born again ; Francis 11. will
become a Capuchin in Bavaria or Spain ; the Pope will turn
his eyes towards heaven, and at Paris it will be understood
at last that it is useless to remain at Rome—for Italy will
be made—in spite of everything and in spite of everybody.
The regeneration of the people will be accomplished by
those means which in the last century were called six medi-
catrix netunr.

ROME.

The Independence publishes a letter of M. de
Persigny, addressed last year to the Archbishop
of Bordeaux, in which he defines in remark-
able terms the situation of the temporal power.
"Not having been able," says the Minister
of the Interior, " for a long time past to
govern its little state unless Italy was under the
yoke of Austria or of France, the temporal govern-
ment finds itself smitten with powerlessness before
every eye." The French occupation of Rome is
characterised in terms equally remarkable. "It
is," says M. de Persigny, "a strange situation;
for, while on the one hand the interest
of France requires that Italy should govern herself
freely, without our having to spend our money and
sacrifice the blood of our children in an odious
mission, on the other hand, it is the interest of
religion that the Pope, whether he exercises or not
his temporal power, should be equally independent."
The Prease of to-day observes that to those who
would weaken the effect of this letter of M. de
Persigny by objecting that it is a year old, it is
sufficient to reply that in a recent circular the
Minister of thelnterior ham declared that " nothing
has been changed in the policy of France."

The Vienna Gazette publishes the imperial
decree convoking for the 10th of December the
diets of the following provinces:—Bohemia,
Dalmatia, Gallicia, Austria, Salsburg, Styria,
Carinthia, Carviola, Bukoviue, Moravia, Silesia,
Tyrol, Vorarlberg, and Istria. There will soon
be nearly a thousand deputies assembled in
16 diets. It is wished by the government to cir-
cumscribe their deliberations in narrow limits, but
there is a general belief that political questions
will be thoroughly discussed. The reader will un-
derstand that the Reicharath, being composed of
delegates from the provincial diets, the delibera-
tions cease from the moment that the latter com-
mence their sittings. Consequently, the deputies
of the Reichsrath are making all possible haste
with the remainder of the business before them.

with others iu a highway robbery with violence.
The prosecutor, who at the station-house had given the
name of John Smith, had been detained on a charge of
drunkenness. _ _

Mr. Corrie proposed to fine the prosecutor ss.
The Prosecutor-1 don't mind paying it, sir, but I think
when you hear how I have been treated you will change
your mind.
Mr. Corrie—Well, we will say nothing about the fine.
Polioe.constable Baylis, I' 85,doposed —A t about oue o'clock
on Sunday morning I was on duty in Holborn, sod sew the
prosecutor walking along quite steadily. The prisoner and
siz or seven others wets walking behind him. They
were walking and talking together. Suddenly the prisoner
stepped out from the group, weut behind the prosecutor,
seized him by the throat, and thrust Mm against the
shutters of • shop. I was 14 or 15 yards off. I hurried to
the spot, but before I could get there the prisoner had
thrown the prosecutor on the ground, and three or four of
the others threw themselves on the prosecutor as he lay on
the ground. I irrgioed they ware robbing him. One of
them saw me approschiog and cried out "lemmas," a slang
word for "run." They scattered and ran off. I pursued
the prisoner, as I had kept my eye on him from the first. I
passed some of the others in order to pursue him. After •
while he dropped into • walk. Some of the others called
out to him " Look out, Boor !" But by that time I was
clone to him, and I caught hold of him. He said "It was
not me. Why don't you take rime of the others?" I maid,
"Never mind. You can talk to the gentleman." The

THE FRENCH COURT.

A letter from Compiegne says :—" The first hunt
of the season, at which both the Emperor and Empress
were present, took place three days back. The meet
was at Fort Poirier, and, as usual, attracted a large
number of spectators. Their /dainties, with a num-
ber of the guests, arrived at about half-past
one, attired in bunting costume. The Emperor,
having mounted his horse, gave the signal for the start.
While those who took part in the hunt were in pursuit
of the stag, the spectators walked about in groups, di-
recting their steps where the halloo was beard,
with the hope of being present at the finish. As
the stag escaped, they were doomed to dire.
pointraent ; and the curie, of course, could not take place
in the evening. The Prince Imperial rode a spirited
little pony, and seemed quite at home on horseback. He
was dressed in the full uoiform of the hunt. The following
morning the Emperor, accompanied by several of the guests,
shot in the forest preserves. In thellaftesnoon an excursion
was made to the Castle of Pierrefunds. In the evening
Cuimir Delavigne's comedy of the Emit de.* Viellards was
played by the company of the Thatre Freesias"
Primo Napoleon paid • visit two days back to the
Emperor at Compiigne. Oa the previous day bin Imperial
Highness gave a grand dinner at the Palate Royal, to which
were invited several of the principal editors of the Paris
journals. IL Denny. de Limp has visited his; imperial
highness.

It is now generally admitted by commercial men
that trade in France cannot be established on a solid founda-
tion until a thorough reform shall be accomplished in the
laws which regulate IL The Corps Legislatif, in its last
address, alluded to this reform as a neoessity of the present
period. Parliamentary commissions have been appointed to
recommend such thanes as are required in the existing
commercial regulations. The Council of State has been
charged to prepare the laws for enacting such changes, and
the chambers of commerce are assembling, at the invitation
of the Ministers of Justice and Commerce, to give their
opinion on the laws in preparation.

LAMBETH.

A smart-looking young man, who gave the name of
William Barton, was charged before Mr. Elliott winn
being concerned, with two others riot iu custody, io the turn.
i mss son of a violent assault and attempt at highway robbery„
Mr. William Morro, an troulouoder, residing at No. 12,
St. Mary'ooquare, lembeth, who bore evident Illark, of the
brutality of hie assailants, said that on Sunday morning,
about one o'clock, while proceeding along the Kennington.
road, on his way home, and in pasting the Orphau Asylum
wall, he received from behind a violent blow under the right
ear, which knocked him down and stunned him for the 144.
meet, and while on the ground he found himself being kirked
in the most violent manner by three men whosurroundollin.
The prisoner, who was one of the three, got in front of Iwo
and drew his watch from his pocket, but be (witness) grate
it with his right bud, and the chain wan fortune:4ly so
strong as to resist the prisoner's effort to get it away, He
called out "police" as loud as he could, and fortunately
one came up in time to prevent his being robbed or further
Mused, for on seeing the constable approach, all three ran
a 21.. Elliott—Are you sure the prisoner is one of the three
persons by whom you were attacked?
Witness—Quite sure air, I didn't lose sight of him until
he was taken by the policeman.
Mr. Elliott—Are you equally sure that he is the person
who had attempted to take away your watch, and that he
used great violence in at.deevounrs to do so!
Witness—l am, your worship, and all three kicked me in
such a brutal manner, that lain marked and sore all over.
Police•constable John Broughton said that about half.
put one on Sunday morning he was on duty near theSts„
public.house in Kenniogtoo-road, sod hearing the cries
" Police," and "Stop thief," he was proceeding to the sp.t
when he saw the prisoner running towards him, awl Le
stopped and kept him until the last witness came up. The
prosecutor at once charged the prisoner with being one a
three men who had struck him and attempted to rob hn,i,
but he denied the charge and made a desperate effort to
dip through his coat, u well u a violent attempt to escape,
but he succeeded in taking him to the station-house.
The prisoner denied the charge, sod mid he was merely
going home when he was stopped by the constable.
A remand was requested to make the necessary inquiries
respecting the prisoner, who is believed to be an old offender,
and Mr. Elliott having conceded to the request, the prianoss
was remanded.

A similar attempt at robbery was made about ten &Fs
ago near the same spot, when one at the three pemoae sm
apprehended, who was found to be a retatnsd transport,
and he now stands committed for trial.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

EUROPEAN MEDIATION IN AMERICA.
Under the above heading La Patric publishes
the following :
We reterdayconfirmed the news already spread for some
days in England of an attempt at mediation projected by
France and Russia in America.

The initiative ef this step is due to the Imperial

government. The proposition emanating from France has
been immediately accepted by Russia, and it is with
this important adhesion that the same proposition has just
been made to the British government. What will be the
reply of the cabinet of St. James's Public opinion is
anxious to ascertain it. The joint action of France and of
Russia might perhaps suffice to assure at Richmond and at
Washington the success of an offer of mediation. France
exercises a legitimate influence in America, due to her con.
ciliating sad frank policy, and recently to her intervention
in the Trent affair. Russia, on her pert, still entertains
intimate relations with the Northern States, farmed by the
exchange of services the least forgotten of which date from
the Crimean war.
But we do not hesitate to admit th►t on this occasion
the concurrence of England is almost indispensable. The

common action of the cabinets of Paris and of St. Peters-
burg would be powerfully strengthened by the adhesion of
Great Britain, whose political position is especially under-
stood on the other side of the Atlantic.

Yet, if we are to credit the stiU somewhat vague reports
in circulation, the proposition of France and Russia has not
met with a favourable reception at London. A Cabinet
Council is to be held on Tuesday, and at this council the
Palmerston cabinet will adopt its resolutions.
London, England, 1862-11-11

GREECE.

According to a despatch from Trieste, of the 9th
net., General Grivas had addressed, on the 4th of
November, the following proclamation to the Greek
people :

Citizew!—ln again assuming arms for the defence of the
national liberties, crushed without pity by a system of
government detested by all men, I request you, in the name
of our country, to rally round the national flag, which the
garrison of Vonitsa has so courageously raised.

Citizens!—We are all Mothers. We all entertain the
same sentiments. We all seek the cure of the same sores.
Rise, then, all of you, es one man, to defend the National

Sovereignty.

GILIVA&

The same despatch says that the convocation of
the Assembly of Athens wiU certainly take place
between the 20th and 30th of November, and that
the elections will take place simultaneously in all
the provinces.

IMF MAYORS.

Lwasrool.—For the first time for many years
pen there was considerable doubt yesterday relative to
the election of mayor, the conservatives--a large majority
in the council—having squabbled about the candidate some
time since selected by the per ty, when the late mayor posi-
tively refused to be re-elected. The apple of discord on
this occasion was Mr. IL C. Gardner, wine and sp,-it mer-
chant, whom some of the elite of his party considered deli-
I cient in the oratorical and other qualifications, more than
I usually requisite in the mayors for the ensuing year. In
spite, however, of the absence from the council chamber of
several prominent conservatives, Mr. Alderman Gardner was
ultimately elected to the mayoralty by a majority of 15 votes
over Mr. Mosley, banker (of the firm of Beamed and Co.),
who was proposed in the liberal interest by Mr. Robertson
Gladstone, brother of the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
BIRMINGHAM. —At a meeting of the Town Council
of Birmingham, yesterday, Mr. Alderman Lloyd proposed,
and Mr. Councillor Goodricke seconded, the nomination of
Mr. Alderman Sturge as mayor for the ensuing year. No
other candidate was proposed; Mr. Sturge was therefore
declared rnanimoualy elected.

highly respectable inhabitant of the borough, who so satis-
factorily discharged the duties as mayor twelve years ago,
