HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE

WEEK.

(From
(From the .Registrar-Generars Weekly .Return.)
The deaths registered in London in the week
were 1,121. The average number of deaths in the
weeks corresponding with last week in the ten
years 1852-61, after correction for increase of popu-
lation, is found to be 1,156. The mortality shown
in the present return is, therefore, not high, rela-
tively to previous experience in the beginning of
October.
The births of last week exceeded the deaths in
the same period by 636.
The deaths from scarlatina rose last week to 96,
and those from diphtheria to 20. The former
disease was returned in four cases in each of the
following East, B
following
and Plumstead. There were 52 deathsetlinal-

measles ; and five of these were returned in
from
deaths from

Hackney-road sub-district. All the
except two, occurred to

A widow, aged 74 years, died of " diarrhoea from
arsenical paper," after ten weeks' illness. This is
not the first instance in which the weekly return
of deaths has recorded a fatal result from the use
of paper thus prepared, and employed to cover the
walls of inhabited rooms.
The wife of a mason, aged 29 years, died at 2,
Westover-street, Alile-end Old-town, of " diarrhoea
(five days), cholera (one day)."
Four nonagenarians died in the week. The two

INSUBORDINATION AT SANDHURST COLLEGE .
It is rumoured that a mutiny lately occurred at the Royal
Military College at Sandhurst, in consequence of the cadets
having failed in obtaining proper attention to a respectful
representation which they had made relative to a certain
parade of 40 minutes duration at four p.m., in addition to
10 hours' study daily, ordered by the Council of Education,
which deprived them of all recreation. It is said nearly all
the students took part in the affair, and that the authorities
yielded to downright insubordination that which they had
withhold to mild and reasonable petition.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS--(thisJ

SECOND COURT.
(Before Mr. J. Payne, Deputy-Assistant Judge.)
The Sessions were resumed this morning at the Session-
house, Clarkenwell.

THE CHARGE OF OBTAINING GOODS UNDER FRAUDU-

LENT PRETENCES BY A JOURNALIST---JUDGMENT,

In the case of Stephen J.Ai:enoY, a journalist, and
formerly connected with the Liverpool press, and corre-
spondent for some London papers, who was convicted of
obtaining some books from a Mr. Phillips under false pre-
tences, an important legal question arose, the jury in the
first instance returned a verdict of guilty, but added they
were of opinion that the prisoner intended to pay for the
books. It was then objected that that finding amounted to
a verdict of not guilty ; the learned judge, however, directed
the jury to find a general verdict of guilty, and took lima
to consult Mr. Bodkin, the Assistant Judge, and reserved
his judgment.

The prisoner was this morning brought up for judgment
before Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Payne.
The learned judge (Mr. Bodkin) addressed the prisoner,
and said he had been tried in another court, before Mr.
Payne, on a charge of obtaining goods under fraudulent
pretences. The juryhad returned a verdict of guilty, adding
that they were of opinion that at the time of obtaining the
goods, he (the prisoner) intended to pay for them ; that
verdict was refused by the judge as not receivable, and in
that opinion he concurred. The learned judge then told
the jury if they were of opinion that at the time the prisoner
obtained the goods he did intend to pay for the them, that
would be a verdict of not guilty. On the other hand, if
they thought otherwise, they would find him guilty. He
had considered the matter with the learned judge, and he
had so much doubt upon the legality of the verdict, that
they thought a case ought to be stated. In the opinion of
the judges sitting in criminal appeals, judgment would
therefore stand over until their decision`; in the meantime
the prisoner might be at liberty, on entering into his re-
cognisances in £BO, and two sureties in £4O each, with
notice of bail.

PROSPECTUS.

' The progress made during the last ten years by the Bri-
tigh COlonies in South Africa has been very remarkable ;
the imports, exports, and public revenues having, during
that period, multiplied threefold, and from public returns
just to hand, it is estimated that a- yet higher progressite
increase will be shown in the present year.
The banking capital of the colonies has not kept pace with
this increase of trade, and it has become clear that a new
banking institution of considerable magnitude, and with
adequate resources, is now a public necessity, and must com—
mand success.
To meet this necessity, and as a profitable and safe in-
vestment of capital, the Standard Bank of British south
Africa is established.
That the proposed field of operations is both safe and
profitable is shown by the fact that, although in the South
African Colonies the rates of discount on first-class bills
range from 8 to 12 per cent., not one instance of loss is re-
corded in the last annual statements of the local banks.
The following is a statement of the present selling prices
of shares in existing local banks, the dividends paid bj these
banks during the last year having varied from 12 to 22 per
cent. per annum.

Every description of legitimate banking business will be
undertaken by the Standard Bank. and it can be stated that
valuable mercantile accounts have already been promised.
Powers are taken iorthe incorporation of existing banks in
the colonies.

The principle of limited liability uniformly followed In the
recently established banking companies has been adopted.
Of the 5,000 shares comprised in the first issue, a large
number has already been subscribed for.

The head office of the bank will be in London,

Satisfactory arrangements are in progress, which will faci-
litate a speedy commencement of business.
Shareholders desirous of paying up the full £25 per share
will receive, on so much thereof as maybe in advance of calls,
interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum.
The preliminary expenses of the Bank will be strictly con-
fined to matters of actual outlay.

Peking, July 2, 1862,
Sir,—ln reply to your despatch, I have to state that I
fully approve the arrangements made by you with refe-
rence to the British concession at Kiukiang.
lam very glad to receive so satisfactory an account of
your port. Make it a rule to cultivate a good understand-
ing with the authorities and people, and impress the neces-
sity of pursuing the same course on the British community.
Where there are difficulties that you are unable to over-
come, you must refer the case, after exhausting all amicable
means, to Pekin ; but avoid, as much as possible, menace.
As to e,allingin the aid of force, her Majesty's Government
has reiterated its instructions that her Majesty's consuls are
not to appeal to it, except in cases where the lives of her
Majesty's subjects are threatened, or their property en-
dangered by riots, &c. Abuse of authority by the Chinese,
or delay in doing what we are entitled to demand, are not
sufficient cause to warrant violent measures.
The effort is now to be made, to settle such disputes
through the intervention of the Imperial authority ;

OLYMPIC

g, Robin Hood; or, the Forester's Fate," is the title
of the Christmas piece presented last night, at this
favourite theatre. The drama is full of startling
incidents; it is well got up, and the scenery by these
superb artists, Messrs. Telbin and Danson, is mag-
nificent. 'rho extravaganza is smartly written by
Mr. Burnand ; and when it is stated that the music
is arranged and composed by Mr. Tully, enough
will be said to show that excellence in that impel,.
tant branch of the entertainment is achieved. The
sylvan extravaganza appropriately begins with a
beautiful scene representing Queen I.e.b and her
special maids of honour. It is very enchanting.
The Queen is personified by Miss Needham; Puck,
" a very puck-ulian little sprite," Master Needham ;
then we have no end of fairies, Hop, Mop, Snip,
Pip, Trip, &c., cleverly sustained by Messrs. Cham-
bers, Davis, Hicks, Hayward, &c. Robert, Earl of
Huntingdon, " who early in the piece appears as a
peer," and subsequently as Robin Hood, was well
played by Miss Latimer, a debutante at this theatre.
She sang prettily, and was encored in one of her
songs ; an honour which was also conferred on Mr.
Atkins, another first appearance at this theatre,
who played as Sir Gilbert De Mountfacon ; Mrs.
W. S. Emden acted with her accustomed spright-
liness in the character allotted to her, and Mr.
Horace Wigan ably represented Friar Tuck. The
other personages in the burlesque were cleverly
enacted by Mr. H. Cooper, Mr. H. Rivers, Mrs. St.
Henry, Miss Hughes, Miss F. Haydon, Miss Con-
way, and Mrs. W. H. Stevens. The incidents
brought forward in the extravaganza are familiar
to most readers ; they are brought out in bold re-
lief, and tell very successfully. The scenery de-
serves particular eulogy, the opening scene already
referred to—fairy gambols among sedges and water
lilies; the grounds of Clare Castle; Sherwood
Forest and country around Nottingham, are mas-
terly pictures, and their exhibition produced loud
applause. An archery scene is well managed; suc-
cessful competition is rewarded with the fair hand of
Marian, the daughter of Lady Clare, a noblewoman
in pecuniary difficulties. By the author's skill Sir
John Little becomes the Little John of the old
story, well snpporting its interest. In the end
Robin Hood, the outlaw, obtains the Royal pardon,
is restored to his earldom, and the pseudo holder of
,the title is very properly disgraced. Queen Mab
and her attendant fairies invest the piece with
much grace and romantic beauty. It is a Christ•
mas entertainment worthy of the character of the
OlympieTheatre, which was ornwded to the ceiling.

RAILWAY ACCIDENT AND Loss OF LIFE.—
HEREFORD, Friday Morning.—Yesterday morning a fear-
ful accident occurred on the Merthyr and Brecon Railway,
by which one life was lost and several persons seriously in-
jured, some of whom are not expected to recover. It ap-
pears that some workmen hurriedly got into some empty
trucks at the commencement of a steep incline without at-
tending to the break. The waggons started off down the
incline at terrific speed—the foremost was thrown off the
rails, and the other trucks coming along, a concussion en-
sued, and the whole were shattered to pieces, the occu-
pants being thrown about in all directions. One of them,
named Thomas Griffiths, was killed on the spot, and nine
or ten were very seriously injured. One of them has been
obliged to have his leg amputated, and there are but slight
hopes of his recovery. An inquest was held this morning
upon the body of Griffiths, When the jury returned a verdict
of occidental death.

namely, to burlesque Samuel Johnson's tale of
" Rasselas," and even to represent the learned doc-
tor himself in the shape of a chorus, and make him
explain his own tale under circumstances whereof
he never dreamed :when he wrote it. The sub-
ject is, perhaps, one of the most difficult that
could have been chosen to form the ground work of
a burlesque, but it affords ample scope for
the genius of the scenic painter, and
Messrs. O'Connor and Morris have not failed to
take advantage of the opportunity to produce
scenery which, for taste and judgment, has never
been surpassed. The opening scene, which repre-
sents "The Happy Valley," is a masterpiece of
artistic excellence. In the foreground is a terrace, and
behind it lies a chain of lakes, encircled by moun-
tains, the water gradually fading away in the dis-
tance and merging into the mist of the mountains,
giving a grand idea of the extent of picture, and
yet clearly indicating that it is encompassed by
hills and is a country per se. We heartily:con-
gratulate Mr, O'Connor on his success, which
was well appreciated by the audience.
Notwithstanding that Mr. Brough has by no means
tied himself down to the original story, and has
drawn freely upon his imagination to give point
and effect to the piece, there is a lack of plot;
which is, however, compensated for by the spirit
with which the principal characters are represented.
Rasselas is cleverly perforßed by Miss Louisa
Keeley, who goes through the part with great
ability and vigour; and Mr. Tilbury, in the charac-
ter of the chorus, represents Doctor Johnson in
a supremely ludicrous manner. The Happy
Valley is the abode of unhappiness, and the
young Prince determines to leave it and
see the world. After in vain seeking the assistance
of science, and having failed to procure wings to
aid his departure he has recourse to common sense
and hard work; and aided by one Imlac (Mr.
Compton) he cuts a subterraneous passage through
the mountain, and accompanied by his sister,
Nekayrh (Miss Winter), and her maid, Pekuah
(Miss E. Romer), sets out on his travels.
In the following scene, Doctor Johnson explains
matters generally to the audience, when we again
meet the wanderers at the Pyramids, where the
maid Peknah is captured by a predatory Arab, Beni
Zoug-Zoug (Mr. W. Farren). The prince tires of
the world, and returns to the Happy Valley in
time to save it from destruction, and in due course
is made Emperor of Abyssinia by his grateful
father, who abdicates in his favour, when he mar-
ries Dinarby (Miss Luey Rushton) a wandering
beauty, whom he picks up we do not exactly know
where, and everybody is happy. The acting of all
was excellent, Miss Louise Keeley entering
heartily into the spirit of the discontented prince,
and the other actors all portraying the various
characters in their own particular style. The house
was crowded at an early hour, and many deserved
encores were insisted on by a delighted audience.

AN EFFECTUAL REMEDY.—LAMBERT'S

sumption. It frequently cures persons whom the faculty
pronounce incurable, admirably allays the tickling which pro-
vokes frequent coughing. In approaching consumption its
effects are truly beneficial. Pereons deprived of sleep, or even

MUSIC HALLS.

These popular ;places of entertainment have no
occasion to grumble about a want of patronage.
Most of them put forth special attractions at this
holiday season, and are crowded with those visitors
who seek for more variety than can be always got
at a theatre. The .Alhambra introduces us to an
unrivalk d feast of first-class gymnastics, including
Olmar, the Talliotts, and the Brothers Conrad. The
Oxford shows its strength in operatic selections and
general music, with character songs by popular
comic vocalists. The Canterbury—belonging to
the same proprietors—follows in the same path,
and is more or less imitated by Weston's, the Isling-
ton Philharmonic, Turnham's, the Raglan, and
Highbury Barn. The London Pavilion gives good
music and a graceful gymnastic performance by
Little Corelli, besides a variety of other amuse-
ments. These halls are spreading rapidly in the
east, west, north, south, and centre, and they pro-
mise in time to outnumber our theatres. They are
all well conducted, their managers are enterprising
and liberal, and they deserve all the patronage they
get.

WESTMINSTER (LATE ASTLEY'S).

The merits of Mr. Boucicault's remodelled
theatre improve upon acquaintance. The house is
long rather than broad, but the slightest sound on
the stage can be Heard at the back of the gallery.
The upper part of the audience portion—the bal-
cony, boxes, and gallery—rises in three noble steps
one above the other, adding to the effect of the
house, and securing the comfort of the audi-
ence. The model which we believe Mr. Boucicault
has copied is the chief theatre in New Orleans.
The building is well situated for the West-end, as
the new bridge forms a splendid thoroughfare toßel-
gravia, which is not a mile distant.
The pantomime prepared by Mr. Boucicault for
his Christmas entertainment is the first return made
for thirty years to the old style of pantomime, the
story of the opening being largely told by action.
It is called'` Ladybird; or, Harlequin Lord Dun-
dreary," and deals with some novel passages in the
life of that popular nobleman.
Mr. Huline makes a very good clown, is active
and funny, and the Harlequinade was amusing and
spirited. Very few hitches occurred in the ma-
chinery for a first night, and the performances were
over punctually by the hour promised—eleven
o'clock.

The house was crowded to overflowing in every
part a few minutes after the doors were opened, and
Mr. Boucicault apologised to those who had lost
some of their reserved seats through the unscru-
pulous eagerness of the first comers.
The farce of" Parents and G uardians" was played
before the pantomime.

SADLER'S WELLS.
The pantomime at this theatre is from the pen of
Captain Horton Ith3 s, and it is entitled " The Rose
of Blarney, or Harlequin Dannymanoranyother-
man."
The harlequinade, which is throughout remark-
ably spirited, went off exceedingly well, except
that the new Agricultural Hall would not let itself
down nicely from the sky—an awkwardness that
of course appeared to grate considerably on the
local prejudices of the Islingtonians. That mishap
is not one that is likely to happen again, and in

every other respect this part of the piece is of un-
usual excellence. The clown is Mr. E. Endersohn ;
Pantaloon, Mr. Martin ; Harlequin, Mr. Nash ; and
Columbine, Miss Rose Nathan.

HAYMARKET.

The success of Mr. Sothern, in pourtraying the
absurdity of modern fashion has induced Mr. W.
Brough to try his hand at a yet bolder stroke,
namely, to burlesque Samuel Johnson's tale of
" Rasselas," and even to represent the learned doc-
tor himself in the shape of a chorus, and make him

7BIALS IN FRANC'.

The Civil Tribunal of the Seine gave judgment
yesterday in an action brought under the following
circumstances :—Some years ago M. Renon, prin-
cipal tenant of the Hotel de Castillo, at the cor-
ner of the Rue Richelieu and the Boulevard des
Italians, let on lease one of the shops on the boulevard
to a Mlle. Maillard, a stationer, for 4,000 fr. a year,
with a stipulation that she should not dispose of
her lease without his consent, and that she should remain
responsible for the rent with the new tenant. Subsequently,
Mlle. Millard sold her lease with Renon's consent to a M.
Gantry, who was restricted to carry on no other business
than those of glover and perfumer. Not long after, M.
Gautry ceded the remainder of the lease to M. Douval, a.
jeweller, and on this occasion Renon intervened, and autho-
rised the latter to carry on his business in the shop, on con-
dition of an increase of 3,500 fr. in the rent, of which Renon
was to receive 1,500 fr, and Gantry the rest. Mlle. Mail.
lard. deeming this last cession an invasion of her rights,
as being made without her consent, and contrary to the
terms on which she had transferred her lease to Gantry,
cited MM. Gautry, Duval, and Renon before the Tri-
bunal with a view to recovering possession of the shop.
The advocate of M. Renon maintained that his client was
fully entitled to act as he had done, and that, as lie now
relinquished all claim on Mlle. Muiliard, as guarantee for
the rent, the latter had no longer any interest in the matter.
The Tribunal, considering that the release offered to the
plaintiff by M. Renon put her entirely out of court, rejected
her demand with costs.

---- -
The Correctional Tribunal of the Seine was on
Tuesday engaged in the trial of a female, named Pauline
Lariviere, charged with victimising several tradespeople at
Montmartre, by passing off new and bright Of-pieces. A
baker deposed that the prisoner had procured the centime
pieces from him by saying that she wanted them as play-
things for her children, and added that a few days after-
wards she again called, and, purchasing a loaf, paid for it
with what he thought was a 5f piece, but which, after she
had left, he discovered to be only one of the centimes.
Several other tradespeople whom she had cheated in a simi-
lar manner appeared against her, and the court condenaned
her to six months' imprisonment.

ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.

This admirably-conducted establishment had its
full compliment of holidaymakers, and with his
usual enterprise and tact Professor Pepper had made
suitable arrangements for their entertainment. The
whole of the institution has been tastefully deco-
rated 'with the traditionary holly and Christnma

evergreens, and a giant Christmas tree towers to
the roof of Vie great central hall, from which a
gratuitous distribution among the juvenile visitors
will takr place every Thursday morning and even-
ing, commencing on New Year's Day. Mr. Pepper
has added " a Strange Lecture," which includes a
new and curious series of optical illusions, produced
by concave and convex mirrors, and especially by
the beautiful optical apparatus, invented by Mr.
Rose of Glasgow, and called the Photodrome (Light-
runner, or Lightcause.) Some of tho devices are
truly marvellous, and present the best illustrations
of persistence of vision which has ever been brought
before a public audience. The spectral apparitions
produced by the use of mirrors, in il'ustration of
Mr. Dickens's idea of " The Haunted Man," is
quite in keeping with the traditions of the sea-
son, when " the Christmas tale is told about gob-
lin, ghost, or fairy," and the whole lecture will
certainly impress alike the aged and the youth-
ful spectators with the conviction that they
" can't believe their own eyes." As an antidote
to foolish credulity and superstitions nothing
can be better. The special addition, however, is a
new comic optical pantomime, " Harlequin and
Cinderella, or the Little Glass Slipper." The old
well-known tale is capitally told, orally and musi-
cally, in the popular airs of the day, by Mr. Buck-
land ; and the dissolving views, dioramic and sha-
dow effects, by which the story is presented to the
eye in its various phases, exceed in beauty and
finish any of a similar description produced at this
establishment, by Mr. G. Hime. The Polytechnic
deserves, and will no doubt secure, the support of
all who desire to combine instruction with amuse-
ment.

COLOSSEUM.
The Christmas arrangements of Dr. Bachhoffner
include a pantomime founded on the story of the
" Forty Thieves," nigger minstrelsy, wizard illu-
sions, dissolving views, musical and pictorial enter-
tainments, &c., besides the usual attractions of the
place. Juvenile fetes are also interspersed, with
periodical distributions of toys from a Christmas
tree.
