THE LONDON PETER HOSPITAL.

Yesterday afternoon the annual meeting of the
above institution was IseMit the Freammons' Tavern ; Mr.
Dety COILNIT ocenplearthe choir.
Dr. 13012TEROOD 8111TH reed the Annual Medical Report,
which set forth that fever had been lees prevalsat in London
than in the three preceding years. The adatimicem had
amounted to 901, the daily somber in the hospital being 70.
Typhus was ommiSmably mom pevalsat gum said fever,
12 per cent. ; among domestic servants it was 10 per oat.,
less than one-half of the mortality of the poorest demo gene-
rally attacked with typhus. The mortality steadily in-
creased with advancing age, and the gland expe-
rience of the hospital showed that the risk of life
from this formidable malady was twice u great at
the age of 31 se it wee at 11, nearly twice as great
at 41 sat 21, four times ma great at 61 as at
11, sad nearly four times as great above 65 as at 21.
It therefore was evident that when the disease attacked
the heads of families it necessarily caused a great deal of
dietrees. The peculiar usefulness of the hospital wee, that
it checked the progress of this disease, by preventing its
spread through the crowded and unventilated courts, amyl,
and narrow and filthy streets ef the metropolis. The report
concluded by stating that the doors of the hospital were open
at all hours of the day and night to destitute wpm; sick of
fever, and to all domestio marvants, on payment of a small
sum.

Tim financial etatienist showed that, including the balance
of the previous year of 931. 195., the total receipt. had been
2,8231. 4.. id., and that a balance remained of 6791.65. 4id.
The report having been unanimously adopted, thanks
were awarded to Dr. Southwood Smith, es also to Lord
Monteagle, the President, with a request that he would con-
tinue to act as president ; and to the physicians, for their ef-
fective services, as well as to the gentlemen who bad afforded
religions completion to the inmates.
The present Lord Bishop of London (in the room of the
late Bishop Blomfield) and the Hon. and Right Rev. Bishop
of Carlisle, and the Bishop of Ripon, were added to the list of
vice-presidents.
P. R. Hoare, Brq., having been re-elected fissure?, and
other °Mows appointed, the proceedings terminated with the
customary thanU to the chairman.

THE POLICE COURTS.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A young wocnan,;;ldejli .-b7great---11.i40, wished to
know if protection was afforded her by the new ad. Her
husband, who was a clerk, but without employment or
character, bad married another woman. He was tried for
bigamy, but the case failed, because no one could identify
the second wife. She wished to separate from her husband
after the trial, but Mr. Tubbs, the overseer of Merylebone,
persuaded her to the contrary. Her husband again lived
w.th bar, but he lived more with the woman whom he had
illegally married. Her husband more than half starved her
and three children, and there was at that moment a distress
'in the house fervent. Her parents were willing to purchase
the furniture, and give it to her. Could she secure the
furniture against her husband, who otherwise would salt ft
and keep the money.
Mr. Emden did not think he could afford any assistance
in such a use. The only way in which her friends could
help her would be by purchasing the furniture, and than
lending it to her for her use.
The applicant thanked the magistrate, and left the court.
WESTMINSTER.
In our yesterday's report we stated that a number of
workmen had attended at this court to complain of the con-
duct of a certain " A. 8." who had edvertised for bricklayers,
carpenters, masons, de., requesting a stamp and envelope to
be forwarded by each applicant, and who had not given em-
ployment to any of them, and would not return the stamp.
Another workman now made • similar complaint, when a
man stepped forward and announced bin .elf as the " A. 8."
complained of.
As the advertiser be begged to repudiate the insinuation
thrown oat by the men that the postage stamps had been
required for say improper purpose o- r had been diapomod of.
He had a contract, which he held in his hand, and which the
magistrate was welcome to laved if he pleased, but was un-
able at the moment to go on with the job in consequence
of the frost and impoesiklity of setting men to work till it
had passed, and there was consequently, a delay. He had,
however, returned the stainps in above a hundred instances,
and where h., bad retained them he had kept them back to
consider whether he could not put the writers to work upon
the job.
The workman repeated that he would not return his stamp,
and was not aware of caves where they had been returned.
The advertiser said that he had no doubt he should put
those whoa* stamps were not returned upon the job, and if
applicant wished his stamp he should have it.

PARIS, SATURDAY MORNING.

The Moniteur states in an article this morning,
that the measures recently taken to defend and con-
solidate the constitution were determined upon some
time ago. The attack upon the Emperor has neither
inspired nor aggravated these measures; they are
addressed to but one category of criminals clearly
defined. France, which has just witnessed the Em-
press's courage, knows that in the event of misfor-
tune, she would find in her another Blanche of Castile,
ready to defend the rights of her son, and make of
him a prince after God's heart.

PIEDMONT.

The debate on the Deforesta Bill commenced on
Tuesday, and was very animated. MM. S. Della
Margherita, Boggio, and Msmiami, were the first
speakers. The latter, who was "left speaking,"
made a great sensation by saying "Napoleon 111.
is an important ally for England; for Switzerland
and Belgium a powerful neighbour; but for us he
is the descendant of the great man who did so
much foe Italy. On his father's side he has Italian
blood in his veins, and I can give yon the positive
assurance that he has not forgotten Italy."
In the chamber on Monday, M. Crotti requested
the president of the council to fix a day fora ques-
tion he wished to put respecting • pamphlet pub-
lished in England by Mszzini, on the policy of the
Piedmontese cabinet. Count Cavour in reply ex-
pressed his astonishment that a deputy should
want to question the cabinet about • pamphlet by
Mazzini, and declared that he would not reply to any
such question. " I am ready," he added, " to give the
fullest explanations as to the Conspiracy Bill, and any
question M. Crotti may wish to put in his own name
on that matter shall receive an answer. But if he
intends to call attention to the attacks against the
Sardinian government M. Mazzini has thought
proper to make, my only reply will be a contemptu-
ous silence." This declaration was received with
loud and prolonged cheering from the Chamber and
the galleries. M. Crotti declared himself perfectly
satisfied, oily remarking that as the British press
enjoyed a wide circulation, he had thought it might
be expedient to enter into some explanations on the
policy of the government.

TRIBUNALS OF COMMERCE.

Mr. AYRTON, pursuant to notice, rose to move for •

establishing tribunals of commerce, and in doing so he rid
at the request of the right hon. gentleman the Home
Secretary he proposed to enlarge his motion, end to move the

expediency of establishing tribunals*: oolomeros, or otherwise
improving the move of procedure in actions and mitts
of a commercial tutu», The hon. member dwelt at some
length upon the evils connected with the existing system,
and upon the unsatisfactory mode of deciding commercial
disputes in this conntay, and the grievances occasioned
thereby, describing likewise the general nature of the tribe-
nal' of commerce in France, and their mode of procedure.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, not opposing the motion
for a committee, examined the complaints made by Mr.
Ajrton against our courts of law with reference to the
manner in which mercantile questions were disposed of, re-
minding the hones of the improvements made of late years
in the establishment of county. courts, the enlargement of

meeting at Bydenham yesterday. Three thousand five
hundred children, collected from the •arious schools in Lon-
don end the neighbourhood where singing is taught accord-
ing to the method invented (or at heat brought into use) by
the Rev. Yr. Careen, of Plaistow, were easembled on this
merlon ; and, together with Bye hundred male adults,
formed a choir of four thousand voices. They occupied the
orchestra erected lag year for the great Handel Festival;
end, se they entered snocessively in separate squadrons till at
length they filled the vest space allotted to them, they
were a sight of extraordinary interest. The immense assem-
blage, too, of visitors brought together to hoar them chil-
dren sing, and to enjoy the other pleasures of the Crystal
Palace on a fine summer's day, was a sight not less extraor-
dinary. Not less than thirty thousand people, we were told,
were present ; and not only was the central transept, where
the °omen took place, densely crowded., but hundreds and
thousands, who could not get within hearing of the music,
wandered in gay groups over every part of the Pekoe and
the beautiful grounds. end seemed very well pleased with

In the ten years 1848-67 the average number of deaths in the

deaths of UM week moaned in an noremed population, end
they should be ommared with the avenge when the latter

years, except that of 1864, when the deaths from this com-
plaint were 83. Whooping-cough is at resent twice es

sles are not so numerous as they were in some previous
weeks. Forty death. an referred to scarlatina; no less
then Mar of these occurred in one Weft in a house on the
top of Shooter's-hill: The registrar states that to the annul
observer there is nothing in that elevated situation which
would be noticed as the probable mum of so great a mor-
tality ; bat it is understood that medecel men attribute it to
an open ditch in the neighbourhood. One child died on

THE AUSTRIANS IN ITALY.

A letter from Piacenza of April 10, in the 6114911 C
of Turin, says that the concentration of Anetriu
upon the Sardinian frontier is occasionieg
rarer remark. The Austrian garrison of Pieces
(in the Duchy of Parma) is continually augmented,
and a detachment of HO men had arrived that ray.
Their violence and insolent bearing continually es
cite the resentment and indignation of the mlie
bitants. An officer of the detachment just mini
chose to lodge in the apartments belonging tads
Marquis Filippo Anguissols, who happened
then to be out of town. The Amnia
officer demanded the keys, which the Nig
de ehatnbre of the marquis refused to give up tolls.
The doors were then broken open, and the Anti*
in spite of all protestations, installed himself lade
coveted abode. More than a hundred perm be.
longing to the city bad been drawn together by the
rumour of this outrageous act, but were obliged to
remain passive lookers on at the invasion et their
fellow-townsman's dwelling. The Austrian gaud
in command having ordered the officer to be gut-
tered there, the order was put into ezecatioa by
military force, and the mayor of Placenta, fladiag
that he eoald not assert Parmese civic authority le
opposition to Austrian bayonets, immediately re
signed his office.

TUCKER V. MISCONDUCT OP A

Mr. Slade moved that the verdict for the defendant In
this cue, which was tried before Mr. Justice Crowder, at
Dorset, should be set aside, on the grounds that it was
against the weight of evidence and surprise. The action was
brought to recover damages for slanderous words used by
the defendant, who pleaded not guilty. The plaintiff
was a solicitor at Charnmouth, and the defendant was a ma-
gistrate, and a gentlemen of large property in Dorsetahire. It
appeared that • person named Brake was charged, under in-
formation of the defendant's coeclunan, for ehooting a hare :
and the plaintiff having been come time before informed by
the defendant that he would be summoned as a witness, had
replied that he would prove that Brake was registered, and
that the defendant would have to pay his expense,. The
ass was heard by two magistrates of the county on the
the 26th of May. Defendant was not on the bench, but he
sat in the roar with his hat on, which, as their lordships
were probably aware, was a sign that the gentleman was •
magistrate. (Laughter.)

road, Rotherhithe, was charged with among the death of
John Bonito:, 13 years of age, of 1, Commercial-street,
Rotherhithe, in a light.
Martha Warren as being sworn, said—l saw the prisoner
and the deceased Getting together on Saturday afternoon,
between one and two o'clock. The damaged lad Bonitos was
the tallest of the two. They had had a quarrel about some
buttons. Several men, who were standing, around der
the them on to fight. One man said, Give It him under
the left ear." The prisoner then struck the deceased under
the ear, and the latter, giving one scream, fell dead. Whilst
the deceased was lying en the ground, and when about being
raised, a man said, " Let hint be; he will not want to fight
any more."
John Ventham said he saw the prisoner and the deceased
fighting; but, unfortunately, he did not interfere to pre-
vent them.

Mr. Train mid he regretted that any respectable man, as
the witness appeared to be, should have remained a mere
passive spectator.
The witness said he regretted very much not having Inter-
faced, but he did not think the matter would have proved so
serious.

lire. Warren here turned round and identified Inspector
Hatabrook, of the Thames polies, as one of the persons wit-
nessieg the light, and who, she said, urged the primmer on
to fight with the deceased.
Inspector Hatobrook denied this amertion, and mild he
had a witness who would prove that he had tam no such
part in the affair, although la Iris present.
Mr. Traill remarked that great blame apparently attmaltid
to hint in not patting a stop to the fight, and said be nimbi
remand the prisoner until Saturday next, and reamed to
accept bail for his appearance.

CHINA.

The Overland Fiend of China, April 23, reports
some interesting intelligence from Shanghai :
The fall of Canton (it says) prodnoed but ludo perceptible
change In the attitude and bearing of the Chinese imperial
government. A despatch from Peking was received at
Shanghai directing the four foreign plesipotentieries to re-
tain to Canton to meet the new imperial commissioner, the
recently appointed Viceroy of the ewe ii.weng provinces.
Thereupon Lord Elgin immediately determined on advancing
in the direction of Peking and embarked in H.M. steam-ship
Furious at daylight on Saturday, the 10th inst. The more-
-1 meat was somewhat delayed by the non-arrival of the Bri-
tish admiral and the gunboats. An English steamer was
stationed at the Ragged Islands near the month of the
Yang-tee-kaang, to await Sir Michael Seymones
and to notify to him the sudden change in Lad yin's
movements. As the Lady Mary Wood was oozing down
the Yang-tie-bang, the Coromandel was met with the ad-
mtral'e despatches for the mail, and the informatics was
obtained that his excellency had left the Ruggede, and was
on his way to join the plenipotentiary.
Lord Elgin's emphatic declaration, in imply to the address
of the Shanghai mercantile community leaves no doubt that
be is prepared to follow up hie determination of peoeseding
to the " Peiho " and theme to Peking, unless, in the mean-
while a duly icesdited Commissioner from the China Em-
peror is delegated to meet the foreign ministers, and to make
those concerto= sad affeed those guarantees which may
warrant the expectation that the international relations be-
tween China and the countries of Western Christendom may
be asisfactorily acjusted, and grounds of present and future
disputes be permanently removed.
There are not, we are assured, the slightest indicationi of
the troubles at Canton interfering in any way to alter the
pacific intercourse of foreigners with Chinese Mandarins and
people in the four northern ports, where the confidence end
sense of security are In no way startled.
The Earl of Elgin wee receded • day by the Russian
steamer America with the Count Pt:tinting, and suits; and
followed on the I Ith by the United States ship Mississippi
with Mr. Reed, and on the 14th by his Imperial Melg::
