HEALTH OP LONDON.

The weekly return of birtha and deaths in Lou-
' doe, lamed by authority of the Registr.u,Oeneral, states
that the deaths in Loadon iu the week that ended last
Saturday were 1,215. The mortality Las been increasing
daring the last month, but the increase is the present re-
turn, over that which preceded it, is very small. The
average Lusher of deaths derived from the returns of cot-
respoadiag weeks is ten previous years, 185140, and
corrected for menses of population, is 1,251. The deaths
in last week are not equal to the estimated number, but are
leas by only di.
The lacrosse in diarrhea that has been observed sine,
the middle of June was not maintained last wm.k. The
deaths from it rose to 200 in the week that ended July
27 ; in the present return the number is 195. Of this
latter number, 1311 occurred to children less than a year
old.

METROPOLITAN GRAND JU RI Dt.
Lord CHELMSFORD laid upon the table a bill for the
purpose of regulating the procedure of grand juries in the
metropolitan police districts. The measure was similar to
otielwhich he bad the honour at miroduciog last session.
and which was sent down to the other Imre of parliament.
Unfortunately, from the pressure of holiness a day could
nut be obtained early enough for its dismission, and, there-
fore, he could not adduce the sanction o/ a rnajonty of the
other hum in its favour. But he hid roma to believe
that the principle of the mammy would be approved of by

would refrain from entering into the details of the bill.

.oe-et .
DUTIEM ON SPIRTM

Yr. CRAWFORI) asked whether it was the intention of
the government to introduce any measure dining the pre.
seat session for the modification of the duties on spirits.
He understood that there had been a great diminution in
the consumption of spirits, and iu the revenue arising there-
from ; also a great increase in illicit distillation, and that
the spirit trade was M • state of complete paralysis.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER mid he would
give an answer to the question, which he hoped would be
sufficient, though he held that it was 'lithely contrary to
I the public interests, as well as to the general rule, fee the
finance minister in general to answer questions with
respect to the intentions of the government on any
financial subject before the period arrived for
making the regular statement for the year. He
knew of no exception to that rule when the question
was put relative to an old-established duty. But the ques-
tion pit referred to a duty which had only been in opera-
tion five or six months ; and his hoe, friend was quite jus-
tified in putting it. With regard to the state of the revenue
from spirits, a sufficient period had MA elapsed to enable
him to give any answer that would be of value to the house.
The smallest tune that could be taken as a test of the ope-
ratic* of a new duty was the close of the financial year. As
regarded the most important rf the questions put by his
bon. friend, that relating to illicit distillation, he could give
an answer which would give entire satisfaction, for undoubt-
edly that was the one point on which the members of the
house were most sensitive and anxious when his proposal
was made. He held in his hand a return, which he
would lay on the table, of the number of detections,
NnViCilollll, and commitments in 1859 and 1880 respectively.
There was not one of the comparative figures which did not
exhibit a diminution, whether in detections, in convictions,
ar in commitments, and that in every one of the three coun-
tries. England, Scotland, and Ireland. In Ireland in parti-
cular, which of course must be regarded as the most criti-
cal and dangerous part of the case, the detections in 1859
ware 1599, and in 1800, 918. He therefore did not hesitate
to thy, eves at this early period, that the evidence on the
enbjeet of illicit distillation was completely seuefactury and
conclusive. (Hear, boar.) Nor did he hesitate to go a step
further under the picas: circumstances, and say, in answer
to his lon. Mead, that there was not the slightest intention,
an the part at the gemesnient, to propose any reduction of
the duty whisk was laid upon spirits is the last session.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PATERSON v. BONAPARTE.
(nom on owls comiceronamm)
PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING.

To-day the Public Minister, M. Marvelßenz Du-
vignau, summed up, and, to the astonishment of
the audience—who, it must be confessed, did not
expect to hear an impartial speech—laid down the
law on almost every one of the points that were
argued in favour of M. Berryer's clients. It is
true be submitted but very feebly that the matter
had been finally disposed of (that there was chose
jugie) in favour of the defendant by the family
council of Napoleon 111. Whether this was so or
not was, be said, "the only serious question in the
cause." If this point—as very possibly may be
the case--should be the mot efordre, it will afford a
peg upon which the judges may hang a judgment
against Mrs. Paterson and her son. But what
an extraordinary state of things will then
be disclosed. It will be admitted that they are de-
barred from what were their rights for half a cen-
tury solely and entirely on account of a servile act,
called a judgment, rendered by MM. Fould, De-
langle, Troplung, Morny, Baroche d'Oruano, and
Pelletier, who, constituting • special and extraor-
dinary ci cirt having jurisdiction only over members
of the Emperor's family, took upon themselves, in
the teeth of all law, to conclude the rights of par-
ties whom, according to their theory that they do
not belong to the family, they bad no power over.
It is most curious that this judgment of the family
council, upon which the public minister relies as
conclusive, is expressly founded upon a decree of
Napoleon 1., which he declares to be in his opinion
void and of no effect. On the whole the im-
pression made by M. Merveilkux's speech is
that be must expect Prince Napoleon to lose
the cause. Judgment stands postponed till this
day week
I ain assured that adespatch from Constantinople,
which has been kept back from the public, brings
the important news that France and Russia have
delivered identical notes to the Sultan's government
of • very bitter character, stating that the commis-
sion of inquiry into the condition of the Christians
having produced no good result, they intend to
appoint a " permanent commission" of their own,
and, if necessary, to support it by force.

Mr. SUMS applied on a former day to appoint an assignee
in a Lancaster mute which had been adudicated upon. The
nomination was made before the 12th October, when the
new act came into operation.
The Chief Commissioner had given his opinion, and com-
plained that the Lancaster County Court had attempted to
appoint assignees, when they only had the power to nomi-
nate. His Honour laid down the principles which were to
apply in construing pending business, and held that under
the circumstances of this case the court might direct the
appointment of assignees.
The application was accordingly granted.

The insolvent owed several small creditors, and had
been put to expense by the illneas of his wife. He was
advised by his friends to take a benefit at the Standard

'libel:tree/or the benefit, atd complained that he had not been
paid. Mrs. Taylor bad supplied goods, and stated her
complaint.
An application was made for a portion of the insolvent's
superannuation as a police officer of 1071. a yeas. The net
ircom• was Si. 18e. 11d. per month, and he had a daughter
and her moo to support.
The Chief Commissioner was not disposed to make an

MORE SHIPPING DISASTERS AND LOSS OP

LIFE.

LIVERPOOL, WEDxzeDAY,
Intelligence still continue.' to reach Liverpot4
of the fearful effects of the late gale. The captain
(Griffith.) of the brig Brother Jonathan, who played such •
praiseworthy and noble part in conuexioo with the wreck of
the ill-fated barque Prompt, states that on Monday morning
he bad • brig in tow for three hours, but she parted her
hawsers at about eight o'clock p.m. when off Lytham,
in four fathom' of water, aull the brig cams
to an anchor. Captain Griffiths represented to the cep•
taro of the brig that the vessel was in a very
dangerous position, and advised him to have another hawser
put on beau', but the captain refused, and the tug left him.
At daylight on Tuesday morning the Brother Jonathan re-
turned to where the brig had anchored, but no trace of her
was visible. The brig had a square stern, and was painted
green. To-day, on making enquiries, we understand
that • the vessel was the }:uxine, from Alexandria,
with • cargo of beans. The vessel was consigned
to Masers. Cansivatti and Co., of London, but having
called at Queenstown fur orders, her destination was
changed to Liverpool. There is DOW no doubt whatever
that the Entine has shared a similar fate to that of the
Prompt, and that all on board have perished. The brig
Sister Anne, of and from Whitchavon to Cardiff, was totally
wrecked on Bernard's Wharf on Monday night ; the schooner
Fly, of Podskor, bound to Li.erpotil, sunk on the North
Wharf ; both crews saved. The crew of the Fly report
that I ship went down near the Nelson Buoy, but they
could see noes of the Crew nor boots alter the occurrence,
and they conclude that all on board must have gone down
with the veseaL A despatch
sit from Fleetwood,tre dated noon
to-day, states that all the beach is strewn with the
wreck and cargo of the ill- ated Prompt.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA.

An Adelaide Commercial Report of September
27 lays :
There has not been the slightest improvement in merean-
tile affain during the past month, our market being greatly
I governed by that of Melbourne. The producing interests
of the colony, however, continue to be healthy and pine-
porous. The season has been extremely favourable for
agriculture, and most prolific crops may now be looked for
with oonfideoce. A clip of wool better than the average
both as to quantity and quality is also to be expected, and
with regard to the third staple product of the colony—
copper—there is no reason to doubt that many of the mine
that have recently attracted alteration both on Yorke's
Peninsula nod in the North will justify the very large expec-
tations that were aroused by their discovery. The July
mail did not arrive until the ltith instant ; the delay
having occurred in the Mediterranean, advice were received
ei as late date se 3nl of August, and the news thus brought
was forwarded by telegraph to Melbourne. Oar inter-
course with the latter place has been greatly interrupted
by the transfer of the steam-vessels regularly engaged io
the Melbourne and Adelaide trade to that which hoe sud-
denly arisen between Melbourne and New Zealand. Gold
fields of some promise have been discovered near Otago,
and a " rush" from Melbourne of almost unprecedented mag-
nitude has been the result. Whether there is anything in
the new discoveries to justify the rush it would as yet be
premature to soy. The ascertained facia certainly
do not justify it, nor has the somewhat inex-
plicable excitement whic:i they have occasioned in
Melbourne as yet affected the population of this
colony. The unprofitable experiences of the Snowy River
" rush " will probably have a 'Watery effect in checking
any disposition in this colony to rely upon the chances of
the new lottery. Mr. Stuart has returned from his second
attempt to cross the Australian continent from South to
North. He succeeded in getting much beyond his farthest
fanner point,and estimates the most northern latitude to be
attansd at 17 deg., this being in longitude 133 deg. Here
he was stopped by a tract of impenetrable forest, which he
made thirteen unsuccessful attempta to pierce, after which
want of sulticieut supplies compelled hint to retreat•
Though unsuccessful in the pretties object of his expedition
—that of reaching the North meet—Mr. Stuart has '
esteldished the gre4 fact that the desert character merited
to Central Australia is unreal, and that anal:nest bouodless
area of country available fur the purposes of civilisation
exists in the interior of this continent.

)N, Nov. 13.

The Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Seine,
Captain Revett, with the West India and Pacific
mails, arrived this morning. She brings 72 pas-
sengers, including General P. N. Negreti, who
ordered the execution of the filibuster General
Walker. The Seine brings specie value
736,163 &la., of which 150,946 dols. is gold coin
and bullion, and 585,9,7 saver coin ; also
pearls, 4001. ; and
,platina, 2,7301.
There is very tittle news from the West India
Islands by this mail. The Council of Government
at Trinidad met on the 15th and received the report
of the committee on wharfage dues ; the report
recommended a recourse to the plan of raising
money by debentures, and that the interest and re-
demption thereof should be raised by an ad valorem
duty on imports of per cent. The question was
not settled. The quarterly returns of the general
imports of the colony, up to Sept. 30, showed a
total value of imports of 192,281/. 4s. 2d., realis-
ing R return for the Customs of 18,2681.
The Brechin Castle had arrived out for
the purpose of conveying from Trinidad to
India returning immigrants, who take with them
about 8,000 dollars, aid a bill for 13,000 dollars,
their savings during their stay in the colony. Her
Majesty's ship Cadmus left Trinidad on the 14th,
the French steamer of war Renandiore arrived Oh
the 15th ; the American man-of-war Iroquois left
on the Bth.

The Barbados@ Legislature met on the 22nd. A
message from the Governor was read, notifying his
appointment to the government of British Guiana,
and the appointment of Mr. James Walker to
succeed him in the governorship of Barbadoce, and
committee was appointed to prepare an address to
his excellency on the message.
The weather continued fine, and the crops look-
ing better and more promising, especially the canes.

CLERKENWELL.

CharJo! Slochann:T spec— tal;lattired young man, wee
charged before Mr. D'liincourt with attempting to enter
the dwelling-house, No. 43, Linton-street, Arlington-square,
Islington, by means of a skeleton key.
Mr. Wakelin: appeared for the prisoner.
From the evidence it appeared that a few days since the
complainant's house was entered in the evening by means
of skeleton keys, and some articles were stolen. In con-
sequence of this additional precautions have been taken,
and between the hours of eight and nine o'clock on the
previous evening the prosecutor heard some one at the door,
trying to open it with a false key. The prosecutor went
stealthily to the door, and opened it soddenly, when
the prisoner attempted to run away, but was tollowed,
and given into the custody of Police-constable }toggles,
No 149 N, when the prisoner said it me all a mistake, and
that the constable had better be careful who he took into cus-
tody, for instead of being the thief he was in pursuit of the
very prism when he was stopped. On his eight the pri-
soner was seen to throw a key down an area, which, on
being picked up, was found to open the prosecutor's door.
The prisoner said he went into the doorway to light Isis
pipe, and that was all he knew of the matter. As for the
key, it was the key of his street-door.
It was stated that the prisoner refused his address, and
Policesergesets Witherinyton (24 N) and Paddock (10)
said that the prisoner had heen before convicted, and had
not long been home from suffering three years' penal servi-
tude.

Tarnoourt mid if it had been a little biter he should
have seat the prisoner for trial. A. it was, he should
commit him to the Howe of Correction, with hard labour,
for three calendar months.

The Prisoner—Thank you for that mall does. I can
sleep that little lot away.
Jusepla William was placed at the bar charged with

BOW-STREET.

The two women, oitSo; Wilson, who were fully
committed for trial J
fer imposing on the Rev. Mr. Strug-
nell, were placed et the bar again, in order that other
charges might be preferred against them, and also for the
purpose of healing what was known of them by the Metall-
cit Society.
Inspector West said the gentleman of whom he spoke the
other day was now in attendance, and he could prove another
robbery by the priennen..
Mr. Carlyle, of Bernersotreet, said • few days ago the
prisoners called at his house, arid, after detailing • meet
sorrowful cue, applied to him for an admission into the
Lying-in Hospital. His suspicioes were aroused that they
were impostors, and he determined to keep them is view while
in his house. Notwithstanding the greatest preclutioo,
after they bad left the house an umbrella was di4eovered
to have been stolen, and as Johnson was the one who stood
sear the hat and umbrella stand, he was of opinion that she
was the party who stole it.
Johnson—that's a lie.

Witoese—ihelimf;ella was safe a minute before they
entered the house, and was missed immediately they had
quitted it.
Johnson—Ob, your worship, don't believe him ; he mud
be mistaken.

Inspector West—They are both very bad characters, your
worship. Another gentleman from Somerset•house is also
is attendance to prove a ease against them if necessary.
Johnson—Another gentleman' Oh, von villain, you're
tr►iog to transport me, and you're getting up all this evi-
dence. What chance does a poor lone woman stand against
a policeman I've got t good character, your worship, but
you don't seem to think so.
The Meodicity officer produced the record of a number of
convictions against the prisoners.
Johnson (howling and crying)—He's another nice article.
All the convictions are mistakes. Oh, your worship,
don't believe him ; think of a poor lone widow—think of
my poor babies.
The magistrate said ho should commit the prisoners for
trial also for stealing the umbrella.
Johnson (still crying vary loudly)—Oh, don't do that ;
think of the children.

The magiatntte —Yee, I shell.
Johnson (to Inspector IVret)—Wait till we come out, old
fellow ; we'll servo you out for this. It's all through you
we go to semiotic We won't forget you. Oely wait till we
come out. well be one with you.
Both mita:ere were theu with some difficulty removed
from the bar.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

FRANCE AND ROME.
NEW FRENCH PAMPHLET.

A new pamphlet, entitled "The Emperor, Rome,
and the King of Italy," has appeared in Paris.
The substance of the pamphlet implies that it
impossible to see actually at Rome anything else
but a " Coblenz" directed against the King of Italy,
the Emperor of the French, civilisation, progress,
the country, and liberty. Such a conspiracy
cannot be tolerated under the French flag. France
is about to withdraw her troops, and the prin-
ciple of non-intervention will be strictly main-
tained. There is not a single guarantee, either
moral or material, which has not been offered by
the Italian ministers for the independence of the
Sovereign Pontiff. If the court of Rome obsti-
nately persist in refusing, an appeal will be made
to the Roman people. The plebiscite will take
place under the eyes of the French army.
If Victor Emmanuel is called upon to reign, on
the following day the French troops will be relieved
by the Italian troops, and the King of Italy will
publish the accordance agreed upon between him
and the Catholic Powers with a view to the inde-
pendence of the Holy See. The Pope may then act
as he pleases.

PARIS, Arcurr 31.

The Moniteur of to-day publishes a decree, ex-
tending the provisions of the decree of the 13th of
February, 1861, to woollen piece goods and those
containing a mixture of cotton, silk, and hair.

SWITZERLAND.
BERNE, Amen 31.

The Federal Council has received a note from the
French government, stating that it considers the
scandalous affair which took place on the frontier
of the canton of Geneva, on the 25th instant, as a
violation of French territory. The note of the
French government demands satisfaction on this
account, and an indemnity to be paid to those
wounded and arrested on the occasion.

THE STORM AT BRIDLINGTON QUAY.

BRIDLINGTON QUAY, TUMMY NIGHT.
Although the loss and damage to the shipping
during the gale wee of a most serious character' so far as
we have learnt there has been no loss of life off this port.
The reports, too, of the wrecks on the north of Flainhorougtt
Head are, we believe, exaggerated, as there are none within
tho district of the Lloyds' agent here, which extends
nearly to Filey. With respect to the wrecks on the
beach to the north and south of this place, strong
hopes are entertained of saving most, if not all, of the
stranded vessels The Eupheuna, of Ipswich, has already
been got afloat and brought into the harbour. The William
and Jane is a complete wreck, but her stores are :aced, and
her cargo is being Eroded. We have already given the
names of the vessels stn.uded, and below we give the names
of those injured ie the harbour: The Albion, of Lynn,
bows stove in, and has of spars sod sails; the Spring, of
Limekiles, lees of bowsprit, (oremaat, sails, &c.; the Sarah
Ann, of Lynn, bulwarks, &c., lost; the New Isabella, of
Yarmouth, loss of bowsprit, foremast, sails, fa. ; the Agnes,
of Yarmouth, stern knocked in, bowsprit and bows in-
jured ; the Isis of Yarmouth, 100 of jibbooin and sails ; the
Albion, of Wisbech, considerably damaged; the Agnes,
of Colchester, considerably damaged; the Cesar. of Col- '
cheater, slightly damaged ; the B. H. Hayfield, of Malden,
bows stove in bulwarks, sails, &c., danusgexl ; the Yar, of
seriously Lynn, se:aly injured by corning iu collision with the
Laura, of Woodbridge, also slightly damaged ; the Yiolet,of
Hartlepool, seriously damaged, and full of water; the Hope,
of Blyth, partially damages ; the Pandora, of Lynn, damage
to bows, boat hull, and sails ; the Sophia, of Fowey, from
Liverpool to Sunderland, damaged and sunk in the harbour ;
the Ellen Murray, of Jersey, bows stove in and broadside
damaged ; the Anna, of Arbroath. lea of boom, bulwarks,
kc., and leaky ; the Squirrel, of Whitby, slightly damaged ;
the Earl Grey, of Hartlepool, bow and quarter stove in ;
the Stockton, of Whitby, slightly damaged ; the Albion, of
Yarmouth, and the James, of London, slightly damaged.
The scene in the harbour during the storm was of the most
fearful description. The sea made a clean sweep over the
south pier, and as the weasels succeeded in crossing the bar
they ran into each other and were dashed against or it
another with the greatest violence, and at ono time the har-
bour presented rather the sppearanco of a haven of destruc-
tion than an harbour of refuge.
