SALE OF MODIRN PICTURES.-Messrs. Foster
commence to sell to-day the collection of modern pictures
accumulated for some years past by Mr. Cox, the well
known picture dealer, consisting of some 300 oil paintings
of the English school. The whole forms • very misoel-
laneous assemblage of pictures, chiefly of the ornamental
and popular order, but amongst them are some few works
of decided interest, of which we should especially name the
Academy prize picture of Mr. Millais, the subject of
which is" The tribe of Benjamin seizing the daughters of
Shiloh," No. 109 in the catalogue, • picture remarkable
for a power of composition and energy of expression not,
it is true, without exaggeration, such as the painter has
never equalled in his later works. Mr. Maclise's " Lady
Margaret's Page," • life-size figure similar to his
diploma picture in the Academy collection, is a
work of considerable interest, though not so de-
recteristio of our great painter es some of his later works.
Mr. J. Phillips's "Grace Darling" is the bold and strik-
ing study, we believe a life study from the heroine her-
self, which was recently sold at the disposal of the late
eminent painter's remenets. There is also &finely conceived
picture in the manner of Titian by Mulready—this subject
of which is " Christ at the house of Simon," and • =all
sacred subject, apparently an early work of Wilkie, repre-
senting " Samuel and Eli in the Temple," with another by
the same painter, " The Discovery of Calisto." The water-
colour drawings belonging to Mr. Cox are announced for
sale by Messrs. Foster on the 4th December, and we ob-
serve that Mr. Cox proposes to open him gallery in Pen-
well in the spring with an exhibition of pictures the
property of the *AM., so that the experiment of supply-
ing the loss of the British Institution Exhibition will then
be tried once more, and we can only hope with better
gnomes than at the Dudley Gallery.

THE HEALTH OF LONDON.—It appears from the
return issued by authority of the -General that
in the week that ended on Saturday, ovember 23, 4,315
births and 3,083 deaths were registered in London and in
twelve other large towns of the United Kingdom. The
annual rate of mortality was 26 per 1,000 persons living.
In London the births of 1,168 boys and 1,1192 girls in ell
2,260 children, were registered in the week In the
corresponding weeks of ten years 1857-66 the average
number, corrected for increase of population, is 2,054.
The deaths registered in London during the week were
1,426. It was the forty-seventh week of the year ; and the
average number of deaths for that week is, with a correc-
tion for increase of population, 1,027. The deaths in the
present return are lees by 201 than the estimated number.
The deaths from xynotic diseases were 250, the corrected
average number being 371. The deaths from small-pox
were 10 from scarlatina 32, from whooping-cough 28,
from typhus 44, from diarrhoea 13, and from measles 53.
No deaths occurred from cholera or choleraic diarrhoea.
Nine children died from measles in the west, 13 in the
north, 2 in the central, 11 in the east, and 18 in the
south districts. Nine deaths from measles were regis-
tered in the sub-district of St. John Marylebone. The re-
gistrar remarks, " during the last month 22 children
have died from measles In some of the streets
adjoining Salisbury-street, and there is no ap-
cr:oe of the mortality subsiding." 148 persons died
sek from rhthisis, 205 from bronchitis, 132 from '
pneumonia, and 68 from diseases of the heart. Seven
children and one adult died from injuries caused by burns
or scalds ; two of these oases were those of children whose
clothes took fire when they were playing with lucifer
matches. A man, aged 48 years, died on 18th November
at 1, George-street, Spitaltields, of "starvation." A
female infant, aged eight months, died on 17th November
at 9, Ratchtf-square, Ratliff, of " disease of mesenteric
glands, accelerated by insufficient nourishment, from
poverty and destituti sr." The deaths of four persons who
were killed by horses or carriages in the streets were regis-
tered last week. 157 deaths from injuries caused by
horses or vehicles in the streets have been recorded during
the present year. The Medical Officer of Health for the
district of Mile-end Old Town states, in reference to the
death of a child on 28th October, at 21, Washington-street,
from "convulsions from choleraic drarrhrea," that "the
child had been exposed to the noxious effiuvia arising
from a drain which was being cleared out near the home ; I
the drainage of the house was also very defective."
THE Revs:run ov IRELAND.—We find from a
parliamentary return that the gross revenue of Ireland in
the year ending 31st March last amounted to 6,620,7321., ;
made up as follows,.—Customs, 2,141,000/. • Excise,
3,393,000/.; Stamps, 571,4591.; lucotne-tax, 359,5931.; Poet-
office, 319,5541.; miscellaneous, 30,125/. This account
shows the amount paid into the Exchequer in the year.
including the payments into the Exchequer in England in
respect of the revenue of Ireland. The net produce, how-
ever, was only 6,112,125/. As competed with this amount
the net expenditure was, during the same period,
5,970,893/., of which sum 1,456,741/. was in respect of Con- •
solidated Fund services, 3,025,0001. for the army, and
1,473,1521. for civil services.
SUPPOSED Loss OF A STEAMER.—A recent tele-
gram from India expresses great doubt as to the safety of
the screw steamer Thunder, trading between China and
Calcutta. Up to the 20th inst. nothing had been heard
of her in India, though she was known to have left Sings- I
pore on the 14th October, and is reported to have had
..3,0001. in specie on board.
FIRE AT LEEDS.—A fire, by which a rag and
mungo mill was entirely destroyed, occurred yesterday
morning at Bowman-lane, Leeds. The building in ques-
tion was the property of Mr. Sylvester Jones, and was in
the occupation of Messrs. S. Bentley and Son. The stock
is believed to be insured in the Liverpool, London, and
' Globe Office, but no information ran be obtained as to
whether the building is bleared or not.
THE CONVICT CONDON, ALIAS SHORE. —On Sun-
day morning the governor of the New Bailey Prison re-
ceived an intimation that the sentence of death upon Con-
don for the murder of Sergeant Brett bad been commuted
to penal servitude for life. Arrangements were at ones I
made for the removal of the convict, and he was taken to
London by Mr. Rayner, the deputy-governor of the prison,
by the night train. On Monday morning Mr. Rayner and, ,
his charge arrived safely at Millbank, where Condon was •
informed of the terms of the commutation. Inspector
Green, of the A division, and a mounted holy of polio.,
with a polio° van, were ordered to meet the train at
Euston-nation, but owing to inevitable misunderstanding
the escort did not arrsve at the time specified, and tbe con-
vict was taken to Millbank in a cab.
