THE LATEST USE FOR PETROLEUM. An assistant
surgeon, writing from Gettysburg, says :••••••" Will

field, to call yon: attention to the use of coal oil in suppurat-
ing wounds ? As volunteer assistant I received permission

SHOCKING DEATH AT YORK.—A fine young
woman , 18 years of age, named Chesney, the daughter
of a draper residing in Monkgate, York, has met with a
terrible death, it is supposed from the wearing of crinoline.
On Wednesday she was in the kitchen near the fire, when
she found her clothes in flames, and being greatly alarmed,
she rushed into the garden. Her cries brought assistance
and the fire was extinguished, but it was found that she
had been literally roasted. Dr. Arthur and Mr. Husband,
surgeon, were called in, but the poor girl died next morning

Letters from Lisbon state that the Portuguese
Government has decided on contracting a foreign
loan of 50 million of francs, and the general opinion
seems to be that the operation is certain of success,
as the prosperous condition of the country offers
every security to capitalists.

A. MAN'S HEAD NEARLY CUT OFF.-0a Friday
a beerhouse keeper, named James Manning, resid-
ing at Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, was committed by the
Bromsgrove magistrates for trial on a charge of cutting
and wounding under the following circumstances. It ap-
pears that on Wednesday last some Irish reapers, and
among them a man named Anthony Tutnmey, were at
Manning's beerhouse, when a dispute arose between Tura-
mey and the landlord, and the latter, wishing to deprive
Tutomey of his s'cklc (which he had at the time hung
round his neck), seized hold of the handle, and pulled it so
violently as to itifEct a dreadful wound, cutting through the
main arteries of the neck. The poor fellow was promptly
attended by a surgeon, but ho lies in a very precarious
state,

This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free

tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom-
panied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient
magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered
capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of
the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the
funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of
these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. hioreover,
it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more,
on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week.
The Weekly Board feel it their imperative duty to make an
EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued support
to enable them to sdmit and relieve the distressing cases that

H HOP.

Accounts from the Plantations state that within the last
few days the prospects have greatly improved, more et pe-
cially in the Weald of Kent, and in Sussex. In several
other districts the crop will pi obably be more extensive than
was anticipated a few weeks since. Our market, conse-
quently is very quiet, yet no material change has taken
place in prices, compared with our last report. A few
parcels of new hops continue to arrive, and they are mostly
disposed of at £8 to £8 Bs. per cwt. The import, last week,
was confined to American produce, of which we received
585 bales from New York.

CELEBRATION of the TERCENTENARY of
‘..) the BIRTH of SHAKSPEARE, at Stratford-upon-
Avon. The Tercentenary Committee (of which Sir Robert
N. C. Hamilton, Bart., is Chairman) are now receiv-
ing SUBSCRIPTIONS, and they may also be paid to the
account of the Tercentenary Committee, at the Stourbridge
and Kidderminster or Warwick and Leamington Banks,
Stratford-upon-Avon ; Messrs. Greenway, Smith, and
Greenway, Warwick ; or their London agents, Messrs.
Smith, Payne, and Co , Messrs. Hanburys and Co., or Messrs.
Glyn and Co., bankers, London.
The Tercentenary Committee, in submitting the subscrip-
tion list to the nation, most earnestly appeal to the admirers
of Shakspeare for their aid and assistance. The Committee
rest their claims upon the ground that Stratford is not only
the birthplace of Shakspeare. but the centre of attraction to
all admirers of the great Poet's works, and that it was his
home, the town he loved, and where he lived and died.

ANTWERP REGATTA.

These interesting sports commenced last Monday, and
consisted of prizes for yachts, luggers, yawls, and gigs.
What added to the interest of the occasion st as the presence
of R. Bain's celebrated Lambeth crew to contend for the
various prizes open to all nations. The first was a four-
oared race, for which five crews put in an appearance. The
lead was taken by the English, who maintained it through-
out, and won easily by six lengths—a very spirited crew
from Rotterdam being second. On Tuesday a four-oared
gig-race was won by Bain's crew in a similarly easy man-
ner. A grand race of honour for 2,000 francs, open to all
strangers, was next on the list, and for which the Lambeth
crew entered ; but only two boats putting in an appearance
at the starting post, the prize, according to the conditions,
was withheld.

Thunder and lightning witli heavy rain prevailed during
both days. Bain's crew, after receiving the congratulations
of the committee and the English residents in Antwerp,
left that city on Wednesday, by the Baron Osy, en routs
for Folkestone Regatta. Unfortunately, they were caught
in the severe gale of that evening, but the skill and
seamanship of Captain Ferguson and crew overcame
all difficulties, and the Lambeth men, after receiving every
kindness and attention on board the steamer, arrived safely
at Folkestone early on Friday morning.

too repulsive to an English audience, and he was called
Ghoolam Singh. He was supposed to make love to Mrs.
Campbell, who repulsed him, and in consequence of this he
is supposed to persecute the British. The mutiny then
breaks out, and the parties are all at Lucknow, and at the
last moment Jessie hears the bagpipes. Two comic cha-
racters were introduced in the plaintiff's drama—Mr. Sniffles
and Mr. Ginger, and there was no character of this kind in
the drama of Mr. Boucicault. He considered there was no
resemblance between the two pieces until they got to the
fourth act, and then the incidents were necessarily the same.
There was no Nana Sahib in the plaintiff's piece, but there
was a similar character called Mahound, the butcher of
Cawnpore. In that piece also two Highland farmers were
supposed to go out after Jessie.

Baron Bramwell—Why ?
Mr. Lush—l dont know, my lord. (Laughter.)
The witness said they were her lovars, and supposed to
follow her to India.

Re-examined—He had only read the plaintiff's drama
cursorily, and he did not discover that the two comic cha-
racters in it had been rolled into one comic Irishman in Mr.
Boucicaules piece.
Baron Bramwell—Two Scotehmen rolled into oue Irish-
man! (Laughter.)

Deeply sensible, however, of the great responsibility that

state, and its Crews practised in the management of their
boats, whish can only be effected by a large and permanent

ANTWERP REGATTA.

These interesting sports commenced last Monday, and
consisted of prizes for yachts, luggers, yawls, and gigs.
What added to the interest of the occasion vas the presence
of It. Bain'a celebrated Lambeth crew to contend for the
various prizes open to all nations. The first was a four-
oared race, for which five crews put in an appearance. The
lead was taken by the English, who maintained it through-
out, and won easily by six lengths—a very spirited crew
from Rotterdam being second. On Tuesday a four-oared
gig-race was won by Bain's crew in a similarly easy man-
tier. A grand race of honour for 2,000 francs, open to all
strangers, was next on the list, and for which the Lambeth
crew entered ; but only two boats putting in an appearance
at the starting •post, the prize, according to the conditions,
was withheld.

Thunder and lightning with heavy rain prevailed during
both days. Bain's crew, after receiving the congratulations
of the committee and the English residents in Antwerp,
left that city on Wednesday, by the Baron Osy, en route
for Folkestone Regatta. Unfortunately, they were caught
in the severe gale of that evening, but the skill and
seamanship of Captain Ferguson and crew overcame
all difficulties, and the Lambeth men, after receiving every
kindness and attention on board the steamer, arrived safely
at Folkestone early on Friday morning.

INCREASE OF POPULATION.

The births exceeded the deaths by 71,236. Therefore each
day in the three months gave on an average a natural increase
of 733 to the population. Immigration and emigration
modify the result.
It was stated in last report that the emigration of the
March quarter, consisting of 37,806 persons ofithe English,
Scatch, Irish, and other nations, was greater than it had
been in the same season since 1854. The return* of the
Commissioners for last quarter shows that emigration had
attained a magnitude that can hardly fail to Elm-prise when
the circumstances of the western t%' orld, by which it appears
to have been chiefly evoked, aro taken into consideration.
The number of emigrants rose to 83,290, which is more than
in any June quarter since that of 1857. In the same period
of 1861 it was about 33,':00 ; in that of last year 47,000. The
Australian colonies supply an increasing attraction; British
North America also draws a growing number; but of the

WESTMINSTER.

How TO GET OUT OF THE ARMY.—Henry Patch, a
private in the Grenadier Guards, was placed at the bar,
charged with stealing a gold watch from the person of
Henry Hademorger.
The prosecutor, a German, said he met with the prisoner
and some other soldiers last night, in the Broadway,
Westminster, and went into a public house and had some-
thing to drink ; and while there the prisoner struck him a
blow in the face, and immediately drew his watch from
his pocket and made off with it.
The police pointed out that the offence was committed at
seven this morning.
Prosecutor repeated that he thought it was last night.
Mr. Telfer said he should have thought " a bandmaster
would have been a better judge of time" than prosecutor
appeared to be.
Birch, a detective sergeant, proved that the prisoner was
seen running away from the public house, and was pursued
by two police constables, when he suddenly turned round,
and, altering his course, ran into witness's arms. Before
he did so he was seen to throw something over a wall,
which turned out to be the prosecutor's watch, which was
afterwards picked up and given to witness.
Two other witnesses proved that prosecutor came out of
the publie-house and said he had been robbed, and when
one of them wont in the prisoner glided out with the watch
in his hand, and attempted to escape, but was captured as
described.
Birch said prosecutor was bleeding from the irjury he
had received.
Mr. Selfe—Did the prisoner say anything ?
Birch—Yes; he said he never intended to be a soldier,
but meant to get out of the army, and he did not care what
he did or what was done to him so long as he got out of the
army.
Mr. Selfe (to the military sergeant)—How long has he
been with you?
Sergeant—Two years.
Mr. Selfe—What is his character ?
Sergeant—lrregular, as a soldier.
Prisoner was committed for trial.

MARRIAGES.

The marriage•rate in the first quarter of the year was
1404 per cent., or, as it may be said, it the same rate were
in operation for a year, 1,404 persons would be married in
that time out of every 100,000 of the population. The ave-
rage rate per cent. in the same quarter in ten years is 3.394.
Following the Christmas quarter, in which the greatest
number of marriages are celebrated, the period to which the
present returns relate is that in which they are always
found to be fewest.

The number of marriages reported is 35,454, against
33,274 and 33,976 in two previous March quarters. In
London marriages were 5,305 and 5,752 in 1861-2; in the
present year they rose to 6,226. There was also an increase
on both the previous corresr °tiding quarters in the south-
Eastern counties, the South-Western, and the West Mid-
land counties, in Yorkshire, and the Northern counties.
Lancashire exhibits a revival in its marriages as compared
with those in the first quarter of 1862, for in three periods
taken in the order of time they were in that county 5,431,
4,887, and (this year) 5,245. The increase is very consi-
derable in Liverpool and West Derby, which have been
comparatively unharmed by the prevailing distress.
The following districts of the cotton manufacture exhibit
an increase in the marriages over those of one or both pre-
vious quarters :

In some of the above instances, as in many others through-
out the country, fluctuations of the marriages in particular
districts are probably caused by movements of the population•

BIRTHS.

The annual birth-rate in the June quarter was 3.705 per
cent., against the average 3587. It never happens that as
many as 36 children are born to a thousand of the population
in a year; and in the 24 years 1838.61 there occurred only
one year (1859) in which thero were 35; and it is also a rare
occurrence that children are born in a quarter at the rate of
37 to 1,000 of the population per annum.
The number of births in the quarter was 189,611, that in
the same period of 1852 having been 185,638. Nearly 26,000
children were born in London in 13 weeks. More than
25,000 were born in Lancashire. There was an increase in
the births over those of the corresponding quarter of 1562
in all the 11 divisions, except the North-Western, which
comprises Cheshire and Lancashire, where a decrease would
arise from a reduction of the marriages in last year, and pro-
bably from a cause of greater moment, theomigratitm of heads
of families from those counties in quest of employment.
