NEALrs OP LONDON.

The return of births and deaths in London issued
by the Registrar-General stake that the high mortality
that attends the inclement months of the year has begun to
appear in the weekly returns. The deaths in London were
1,078 in the last week of October ; they nee to 1,251 in the
following week, and to 1,288 in the week that ended last
Saturday._ The mean weekly temperature of the air was
above 58 deg. till near the middle of October ; it fell to
45.5 deg. at the end of the month, and in the first two weeks
of November wee respectively 42.0 deg. and 311.7 deg.
The corrected average number of deaths for the weeks in
ten years 1851-60, corresponding with that for which the
present return is media is 1,294 ; and it appears that the
mortality of last week agrees very clearly with the result
obtained by calculation.
The mortality from bronchitts exhibits an increase ; the
numbers referred to this complaint in the last three weeks
are 81, 87, and 131. Scarlatina continues to predominate
among the symotic diseases ; the deaths caused by it last
week were 101; by diphtheria, 25. There were 62 by
typhus, 17 by croup, 3 by smallpox, 6 by measles.
Nine fatal cans of scarlatina were returned in Chelsea,
Bin St. Norge, Hanover-square, 8 in Islington, 7 in Clerk.
enwell, and 4 in the first subdistrict of Waterloo-road. If
the five divisions of the metropolis are compared, it will be
sees that the greatest number of deaths from scarlatina was
recorded in the western division, The complaint seems to
be prevalent in Fulham, Brompton, Chelsea, and the Han-
over-square subdistrict.
Nine persons, of whom 6 were children, died in the week
from syphilitic disease ; 10 children from want of breast.
milk, one in Shoreditch from "the want of food." Two
infante, who had been murdered, one by starvation, the
other by strangulation, were found in the Regent's-park.
Five cases of murder or manslaughter are returned in the
week. Two widows, whose deaths arc recorded, had
attained the age of 95 years.
Last week the births of 876 boys and 898 girls, in all
1,774 children, were metered in London. In the ten
correspooding weeks of the years 1851-60 the average num-
ber was 1,617.

GERMANY.

The Nordstern, a democratic journal at Hamburg,
which is considered as the organ of Karl Blind, has
been brought to trial for a series of articles against
the King of Prussia, in connexion with the attempt
made by Oscar Becker at Baden. The Nordstern
being oondenined to pay the highest fine, a com-
mittee of friends of the popular cause has been
formed► with a view of subscribing the necessary
funds, and presenting them to the organ of radi-
calism as a testimonial of the esteem in which it is
held by the adherents of advanced liberal prin-
ciples.

WESTMINSTER.

In the case of Mari 71;;;;Ii:OiterUUr report left,
Mr. Hutebiusow said there was no case at all, and with
regard to the first case, Mr. Barker thought her a good ser-
vant; so he understood.
Mr. Barker denied this, and repeated that he had lost
several things.
Mr. Hutchinson then addressed the magistrate with
regard to tail fur the appearance at the sessions.
Bail was, however, refused.
Mr. Hutchiuson nest applied for the copy of a will and
some papers found upon the prisoner.
Inspector Humphreys said there was some dispute about
the will ; the accused's mother wished to have possession of
it, and if he bad permission he would give it to her.
On being asked to whom it should be given, the prisoner,
wbo now spoke for the first time during the examination,
said in a voice peculiarly unfeminine, " My mother."
It was subsequently arranged that the whole of the
pipers should be withheld by the inspector for the present.
Prisoner was then fully committed for trial.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

BELGIUM.

BRUSSELS, Nov. 17.

A very serious fight is expected in the Chamber
on the debate on the address, which begins on
Wednesday. The ministry is using every exertion
to rally liberals of all shades to its standard ; a de-
fection of only half-a-dozen votes might reverse the
majority. The Ghent protectionists have resorted
to a new device to support their cause. They now
affect not to oppose free trade in principle, but
they urge the government to alter the tariff by a
simple act of parliament without any treaty. Make
no engagement, they say, with England, for she
wants much from you, and can give nothing that
you want in return. The following passage in their
petition is a smart hit at M. Frere :—" Those who
were deceived about the gold question are very
likely indeed to be wrong again." This alludes
to the introduction of French gold, which was
strenuously opposed by M. Frere, who was beaten
upon it in the Chamber, and it is now admitted on
all hands that the measure was a good one.
Petitions are being got up among the work-
men, complaining that English purchases raise the
price of agricultural produce.

BERNE, Nov. 15.
The government of Geneva has just notified to
' the Ftxleral Council that some French gendarmes
have arrested an individual at a spot near Jassy,
situated 120 metres within the Swiss frontier, which
act constituted a fresh violation of Swiss territory.
The affair is doubtless not very grave, and will
probably be speedily arranged, but it happens at an
unlucky moment.

The Federal Council has not yet replied to M.
Thouvenel's note concerning the Dappenthal. The
reason for the delay is believed to be that the
council is waiting for authentic evidence that
French troops really did invade the village of Ores-
soniiree. The Federal commissioners have returned
to the spot to make further inquiries. The Fede-
ral Council, moreover, it not unanimous as to the
course to be taken. Some of the members wish to
confine the present negotiations to the Dappes
affair, while others think it expedient to take this
opportunity to settle the Savoy question, and pro-
pose that any commission in the valley of Dappes
should be made conditional upon suitable guaran-
tees to be given by France for the neutralisation
of Upper Savoy.
A sad event occurred to-day at Berne. M. Blot,
the chancellor of the French embassy, died suddenly
in a fit of apoplexy ; he is universally regretted.

ITALY.

The Paris Muniteur states that the commis-
sion appointed by a decree of the Minister
of Justice at Turin to pronounce upon the
fate of the Modenese prisoners restored by
Austria (a commission over which General
Cassini presided) lux finished its task Hia
Majesty has ordered that all those prisoners who
were detained for crimes purely political should be
set at liberty. He has further pardoned some
others who had been guilty of mixed offences, and
has reduced 'the punishment of others who had been
condemned for crimes of a general nature.

The same journal further states that the Savona
Railway has been conceded to an English company.
The construction of this line has generally been
considered as an expensive undertaking, on account
of the heavy work it involves. Though proposexl
many times it has been as often postponed, and its
operations until to-day have been considered very
problematicaL The law passed last year on the
subject gives no guarantee and pays no interest,
though it grants a subsidy of 10,000 francs to the
concessionaire.

We read in La Preue of Vienna of the 14th :

Yesterday an examination took place at the office of the

place at the office of the Wanderer, for the purpose of dis-
covering, if possible, the manuscripts of certain aondctnned

tions, wishes to lay its hand on the authors of the obnoxious
articles, although the law dote not require the editor to

THE OAS QUESTION.

In pursuance of a requisition numerously signed
and presented to Sir James Duke, as 'Merman of the mud,
• public meeting of the inhabitant householder' of Far-
ringdou Ward Without, was held last eveningg at the See-
sions•house, Old Bailey, to take into cooudantiou the
attempt on the part of the gas companies to increase the
price of gas to the consumers. It will be recollected that a
meeting with this object was held lest Tuesday at
the same place, but in consequence of the hall befog flikd
by parties connected with the viuious gas companies, to the
exclusion of a large portion of the inhabitants, the requisi-
tionists declined to proceed with the business, and
a fresh requisition was signed and presented to the alder-
man, who appointed last evening for the meeting. On this
occasion the ward beadles were stationed at the door', and
none but inhabitant householders of the ward were ad.
mined. Sir James Duke having taken the chair, Mr.
Lusher moved the fit
Lusher That the Great Central
Gas Consumers Company began its career, and received
support by promising to break up a monopoly, and to supply
consumers with gas at • lower price than that previously
charged, but, without just cause, it has broken faith with
the consumers and falsified its engagements ; and that the
Metropolitan Gas Act of 1860, by entirely preventing com-
petition, has created a most obnoxious monopoly, and
that the citizens of London, having taken no put
in obtaining that act, ought to be exempted from
its operation." Mr. Paine seconded the resolution ;
and it having been supported by Mesas. Potter, Leahy,
Howell, and others, it was put to the meeting and carried
unanimously. It was further resolved to concur in the
wares adopted by the Commissioners of Sewers of the City
of London, in applying to parliament for the exemption of
the City from tlie operation of the bill.

THE DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES.

The Constantinople correspondent of the hide-
pesdasce Beige says that the conferences relative to
the Danubian Principalities have been delayed in
consequence of the refusal of Austria to admit the
representative of the Italian government to take
part in the joint deliberations. The envoy of King
Victor Emmanuel has insisted on the right of his
sovereign to take part iu the recision of an inter-
national act to which he hail been a party equally
with the other powers who signed the treaty of
Paris, and the members of the conference are now
engaged in endeavouring to turn this difficulty.

ANOTHER MILITARY MURDER.

CORFU, Nov. 12.

A shocking murder was committed here on the
26th of last month. A soldier of the Ist Battalion oth
Regiment, Private Chadwick, shot Corporal Dawdlers of the
same regiment. It was a case very similar to that which
occurred some time back at Aldershott, when a private sol-
dier, who had a grudge against a non-commissioned officer,
loaded his rifle and shot him as be was sitting at a table
reading. In this instance the unfortunate corporal was in his
barrack-room, standing up on his bed, arranging some of his
things in the rack which is fixed above it, when Private Chad.
wick entered, and without even raising the rifle to his shoulder
discharged the contents into his side. The murderer was
immediately secured, but the unfortunate victim, of whom
at first hopes of recovery were entertained, expired in the
greatest agony after lingering for two drys in the hospital.
The immediate cause of this horrid crime was the awanl
of six days' confinement to barracks, to which Chadwick
had been sentenced by the officer commanding his regiment
for insubordinate conduct to the corporal. It is to be
hoped that the prompt execution of the murderer will
deter others from perpetrating such barbarous crimes.
Corporal Donollan was shot on Saturday, the 26th of
October, and died on the morning of Monday, the 26th.
The same day an inquest and court of inquiry were
held, and the general court-martial, which sat on the 30th,
sentenced the murderer to be hanged. This sentence was
carried into effect on Friday last, the Bth inst., on the
South Parade in the citadel of Corfu. Thus, while the
Clearys and kl'Caffrays are still awaiting their trial in
England, the murderer of Corporal Donollan at Corfu has
expiated his mime on the spot, and no doubt this prompt
retribution will prove the most radical cure for these bar-
barous outrages.

The controversy which hoe been opened respecting the
ammunition which is by the rules of the service entrusted
to the keeping of the soldiers will, perhaps, result in the
introduction of some measure of a preventive character.
Prompt and condign punishment on the spot is, however,
after the perpetration of the crime, if not a remedy for the
identical crime that has been committed, certainly the
measure most calculated to inspire, by the suddenness of
the example, a wholesome dread of the consequences Wen.
dant upon the rash indulgence of vindictive passion.

PRUSSIA.

The Nord states that the King and Queen of
Prussia have returned from their visit to Breslau.
The court has gone into mourning for three weeks
for the death of the King of Portugal. The new
pieces of silver which are to be put in circulation
will bear the likeness of both the King and Queen
on the acme side.

The Correspondence Stern asserts that the con-
vention with Bremen relative to the marine is on
the point of being signed. Prince Eugene of Wnr-
temberg has subscribed a sum of 200 thalere (equal
to 301.) annually fur twenty years in favour of the
Prussian fleet. The fifth collection at the National
Verein for the German fleet yielded 30,000 florins.
The total sum now amounts to 80,000 florins.
Konigsberg has recently subscribed 2,000 thalers.

THE SULTAN AND THE POPE.

The Prose remarks that Austria, which has so
long defended the temporal power of the Pope
against the Italians, acts in a very illogical manner
in defending the temporal power of the Sultan
against the rebellions Christians. A correspondent
from Vienna announces that orders have been given
to oonoentrate 30,000 men on the frontiers near the
theatre of war. A division of four ships will
cruise in the neighbourhood of Cattaro. The ob-
ject of these preparations is to give, if not an
active, at least a moral support to the Sultan, and
to prevent the Christians should they be defeated
(which luckily is improbable) from crossing the
Austrian frontier to seek shelter from the ven-
geance of their Mahomotan oppressors.

Telegrams received here announce that similar
minks have been obtained in the provinces.

" A Paris notary," says the Nord, "hea received
the will of an old German, who came to Paris to ' enjoy
Ids,' as he called it, and died there, childless, es the 20th
of October last. He has bequeathed the whole of his
fortune-400,000fr. (16,0001.)—to those who made the kat
years of his life pleasant and agreeable. It is said that
several writers of romance, feuilletosists, musical wen-
rims, dramatic authors, painters, and theatrical artists,
are the fortunate legatees, and that the legacy of each
person is in proportion to the pleasure which his talent
afforded to the testator. It is added that he wishes bis
will should be made public, is order that others might be
induesd to ' go and do likewise.' "

George Frederic Freytag, the celebrated
Oriental scholar, died to the 16th of this month, at
Dortsedorf, near Bonn. He was the author of several
Arabic works, the principal of which was his peat "
eon Arabico-Latinum," in 4 vols. (1830-1837).

A letter from St. Petersburg, of the 11th, in
the Cologne Gazette, observes :—" The subject of genera
conversation here is the arrest of /foie. Europese, a lady
moving in high society, and the wife of the marshal of the
nobility of Tivar. She received last year a strong repri-
mand, and was even sent to a Axed place of residence in the

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

Covent-garden Theatre closed its doors for this
servos as Saturday night, after a performance of the Pro-
Oak, which did not is any respect fall short of the splem
dear for which the representations of this gorgeous work
have always been distinguished at the Royal Italian Opera-
Oa this °ocular there was one novelty—the appearance of
Madame Didiee, for the first time, in the part of Fides—a
bold attempt at any time, and particularly so soon
after this most arduous character was performed by
Madlle. Ceiling, the only actress on our An* who has
rivaled Visrdot, its original representative. Madame Di-
dife's performance, however, though Dot a great sumer.
wee by so means a failure. Vocally speaking, she was ex.
relleat —perhaps as good as any of her precursors ; for she
has a instralto voice of rare beauty, and always slags like
a monad and accomplished artist. Her great air, " Ah, min
BOW!" was admirable in every respect; and the duet with
Bertha, " Das mom," was given with great simplicity and
tree espreselen. Her reading of the character was correct
—though she looked too young for John of Leyden's
mother—but her acting was somewhat artificial and con.
ventional, as if founded on study and imitation, rather than
on her own perceptodia and feelings. The great scene in
the cathedral, where Fides, recognising in the terrible
Prophet her own son, is awed and terrified into disavowing
him—a situation demanding vast tragic power with mat
quietness—was too much for Madame Dade; she was too
demonstrative, too theatrical. Her whole performance in-
dicated talent, not genius ; and therefore, though it met
with approbation, it made no great impression. The part
of Bertha was creditably sustained by 31..darne Ruderadorff ;
bet it is a part so insignificant, that it was no fault of hers
if she made nothing of it. Tamberhk, of course, was the
here, sad nag and acted with his accustomed power and
energy. The other characters were performed as weal,
Tighe/loco being Count °berthed, and Zelger, Neri•Banikli,
and Polonini the three Attabaptista.
The house was !surprisingly full, considering that the

and efficaciously protects the Christians in Syria.
The Pope, he says, in a solemn act, thanks our
army for the support and the security which it
gives him.
"Undoubtedly there still remain grave difficul-
ties to overcome, but their solution must be the
work of a patient, loyal, and circumspect policy.
This solution belongs principally to Providence."
The circular concludes thus :—" Let us loudly
pray that the Divine aid may be continued to
their Majesties to assist them in their constant
thoughts for the peace of nations and the hap-
piness and dignity of Frauce."

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)
William Bawler, 70, • very rmpectable•looking man,
pleaded guilty to an indictment which charged him with
embezzling money, the property of his employers, Merin.
Harvey and Co., wharlingers, Whitefrian.
It appeared that the prisoner had been fifty-seven yearn
in the service of the prosecutor, and that the greatest con-
fidence was reposed in hint by his employers, and, having
to pay accounts, be had embezzled considerable sums of
Bey.._

Mr. i;iffaril, who appeared for the msweention, said that
the prisoner hail been in the service of the prosecutors for a
great many years, and it was with verygreet reluctance that
they came forward to prosecute him ; but as they had a
great many other clerks in their employ, they felt that they
could not look over such en offence. They, however,
wished to strongly recommend the prisoner to the merciful
conaidi•mtion of the court.
The Recorder, in passing sentence, maid that the fact of
the prisoner having been so many years in the prosecutor's
service was rather an aggravation ~f the offence than other-
wise, fur if confidence could not be reposed in a person who
had been been in au employment for fifty years it was im•
possible to place it in anyone. He then sentenced the
prisoner to twelve months hard labour.
HesloeriWillinms, the late secretary to the Rural Medical
Benevolent Colle7e, who pleaded guilty yestenlai to several
charges of embezzlement and forgery of receipts, by which
he defrauded the institution of a considerable mum of money,
was brought up for judgment.
The Recorder sentenced him to three yearn' penal
servitude.

(Jorge Williams, Xi, pleaded guilty to a charge of pick-
ing the pocket of Isabella Harwood.
A police-constable informed the court that he had known
the prisoner as a thief ever since he was 10 years old, and
when he was that age he was constantly about the street
with members of the swell mob, assisting them in their
opaiationa
Hu was sentenced to six years' penal servitude.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(raoM on ORA

PARIS, MONDAY Emma.

The Corps Legislatif sat in " secret committee "
to-day (pursuant to a new regulation introduced by
the decree of November 24), for the preliminary dis-
cussion of two government measures, the one re-
lating to a new organisation of the savings banks for
old age, and the other to the suppression of the
sliding scale. It is rumoured that both the bilk
were favourably received.
A letter from Toulon states that the yacht
Jerome Napoleon is preparing for a voyage. There
are various rumours about her destination. Ac-
cording to one report she is to take Prince Napo-
leon to Genoa towards the 20th of this month,
while, according to another rumour, she is to come
round to Brest, and from thence convey the prince
to Denmark, Sweden, and the Baltic. It is noticed
that a St. Petersburg journal announces the ex-
pected arrival of an " august " French visitor in
the first fortnight of May.

On the occasion of the translation of the remains
of Napo'son L to their permanent tomb the Em-
peror decorated fifteen of the oldest pensioners in
the Hotel des Invalides. They are all upwards of
eighty. One, the oldest of all, was a drummer in
the American campaign under Lafayette, and two
lost their eyesight at Cairo in 1798.
The dissolution of the Society of Redemptorist
Fathers at Lille has been followed up by that of the
Capuchins of Hasebrouck. In addition to these
stringent measures, such of the members of the two
societies as are foreigners have received orders to
leave France. It is stated that there are very few
Frenchmen among them ; so that the decree is prac-
tically one of general banishment.
The Bourse was as inanimate as on Saturday,
and less firm. The Rente closed at 67fr. 70c. for
cash, and at 67fr. 65c. (with a fall of Sc.) for ac-
count. Mobilier fell 2fr. 50c. Railways were a
little better. Orleans rose 3fr. 75c., and most of
the other lines from lfr. 25c. to 2fr. 50c. There
was again a great demand for the Roman railways,
1,175 shares of which were " disoounted ;" they
rose 12fr. 50c. The Caisse Mires fell 2fr. 50c.,
closing at 90fr. Regret is expressed at a resolution
passed on Saturday by the Syndics' Chamber, the
tendency of which aggravates the difficulty of doing
business in this long paralysed market. Hitherto
it has been usual when a broker was a buyer from
another broker of any security to the same precise
amount, and for the same account as the latter was
a seller of, to set off one transaction against the
other. But the syndicate, which levies a per
centage upon every operation, now insists upon
putting a stop to this practice, and threatens to
enforce heavy fines against the brokers who resort
to it.

DKLADFUL GUN ACCIDENT.—On Saturday, en
inquest was held at the Cock and Bell, High taster,
before C. C. Lewis, Esq., on the body of a little boy
aged 10 yearn, the son of Lichfield Sharp. labourer.
It appellee that the father was in the employ of Mr.
John Milbank, of Mann's Farm, and on Wednesday
last the son of Mr. Milbank left a loaded gun in the
bay of the barn, where the deceased and his brother,
aged 13, were cutting turnips--and at the same time telling
the deceased not to touch the gun, as it was loaded ; the
reply the boy nuule was " not touch it, master ; " this
was in the COUTIIO of the forenoon. However, about Sin
the afternoon, they began playing with the gun, and the
elder buy, handling it. pulled up the hammer, when
the deceased said, " Pull that little thing under-
neath, and it will crack ;" the bigger lay did
directly pull the trigger, and the muzzle unfortunately
being pointed towards the child, without his brother
aiming at him, it ezplo led directly, and the charge entering
his head, he was killed instantly, his head being shattered
to pieces. Under theAe ciicumstances the jury immediately
returned a verdict of " Accidentally thot."—The coroner
seriously animadverted on the carelessness of leaving the
gun in such a place, and told the boy who handled it that
if lie had been au older person the probability was that be
would have been committed fur trial fur manslaughter.

The Nationalitis of Turin, of Saturday last, states
that it wee confidently stated in that city that the re-

has inspired King Victor Emmanuel with the idea
of sending Signor Benedetti, Director-General o'
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on a mission ex-
traordinary to Paris. He would, it is said, be
charged to re-establish diplomatic relations be-
tween the two governments. Another version of
the report is that the object of Signor Benedetti's
mission is the settlement of the Roman question,
which is regarded as imminent, notwithstanding
the news of the prolongation of the French occupa-
tion of Rome.

MR. BAINES'S REFORM BILL.

KIDDERMINSTER, MONDAY.

A special meeting of the Kidderminster Town
Council was held here to-day, the MAYOR in the chair, to
consider Mr. Baines 's Bill for reducing the franchise in
boroughs, and, if approved, to petition in favour of it.
The MAYOR having stated the object of the meeting,
Mr. Borcorr moved a resolution to the effect that it is
not competent for the council to entertain the question, as
being a purely political one. He maintained that the council
was elected to promote the local interests of the town and
its management, and that they would be exceeding their
jurisdiction by going into the subject.
This having beep seconded,
Mr. Bawls moved an amendment, that the council was
competent to entertain the question, and that they do peti-
tion parliament in favour of the bill.
After further debate the resolution was put, and the
petition in favour of the biU was carried by a large majority.
It was then ordered to be sent immediately to Mr. Bristow
fur presentation to the House of Conunons.
