The War in Bhootan,

The intelligence from Bhootan is of a somewhat
serious nature. Up to Jan. 29, four of our posts
had been almost simultaneously surprised and at-
tacked by the Bhooteas. The enemy were driven
back in all four cases by our detachments, but, in
one instance, with seven casualties on our side in a
detachment of 50 men, and in another with the loss
of 1 officer and 5 sepoys killed, and 1 officer and 38
sepoys wounded. The following telegram has since
been received by the Bengal Government :
From Cooch Behar. To Calcutta. From H. Beveridge,
Esq., Deputy-Commissioner, to Private Secretary, Lieu-
tenant:Governor of Bengal.

sth February.—Colonel Watson, on the 4th inst., sent a
force to drive the Bhooteas from a stone stockade which
they had made at Balla; but the force at his disposal proved
too weak. The Bhooteas were well protected, and we had a
good many casualties. Lieut. Millett of the 11th N. I. killed.
Lieut. Cameron, Royal Artillery, wounded, and some 12 or
15 Sepoys wounded. Col. Watson bas applied for the two
guns belonging to Cooch-Behar. They will be sent off at
once.

" Our troops," observes the Calcutta Englishman,
"as yet have carried everything before them,
but our columns, ridiculously small even at the com-
mencement of the campaign, are now so reduced by
the detachments holding our chain of outposts along
the hills, and keeping up our communications, that
neither our open camps nor our posts are safe from
the night attacks and rushes of large bodies of an
enemy who, however unwilling to meet us by day,
are yet determined enough to fight for their hearths
and homes in a manner which, in a great measure,
neutralises our superiority over them in arms, in
discipline, would that we could also add, in numbers.
Harassed in a malarious climate by constant night
duties to keep in check a tribe of men like the
Bhooteas, to whom the jungle is ahome, and through
which they can crawl like wild beasts almost up to
our very sentries, it is not to be wondered at that
our troops are getting sickly. Fever is very pre-
valent, and the Bhootea rabble are allowed to swarm
within a march of our camps, for the simple reason
that our men, from over-work and night guards,
are unable to bear the fatigue of double marches
and dours, for the purpose of dispersing them. The
Bhooteas can only set down this inactivity to fear.
Our troops must not only be reinforced, but must,
in the difficult nature of the seat of war, have
sufficient support available in case of need. It
must be done, sooner or later, the rainy season is
not so far distant, and the Bengal Terai, if it does
not kill, must seriously affect the efficiency of the
force."

Upon the same subject the Hurkaru, of the Bth
February, says :—" The Bhooteas have attacked
our posts, and evinced considerable daring and
courage. At the Bala Pass, as will be seen from
the account in another column, they rushed up to
the stockade and persisted in their attempt to cut
down the gates with their terrible curved knives for
one hour and a half, and this under a heavy fire of
musketry. They only broke and fled, or rather they
only disappeared when the first streaks of dawn
warned them of the advantage which another half
hour would give the musketeers. It is remarked
that the side of the stockade exposed to their attack
was stuck as full of arrows as a porcupine's ba.ck
with quills. They have begun to waylay small
parties, and to hover round our outposts, and gene-
rally to manifest a spirit, the expression of which
we might have escaped by a steady and rapid ad-
vance on their capitals. We have contented our-
selves with seizing what we wanted, we shall now
find the impolicy of doing so without first having
broken their power. The Bhooteas fight with
curved knives and bows and arrows. Primitive
weapons, it is true, but then the knives are broad
and heavy. We have seen some half an inch thick
at the back, and a clever mountain fencer would
consider the decapitation of a man with one of them
but a very small feat. The whole country is covered
with dense jungle, and in such cover, the advantage
of the silent but deadly arrow must be apparent
to every one. They can lie in wait, and pour in
flight upon flight without risking very much in the
chance of being followed. The only way out of the
scrape is to seize the whole country by a swift ad-
vance, and to return as much as we choose of it
next cold weather, making our own arrangements
for the conspicuous absence of such men as the pre-
sent dictator."

TIIE Di OF REST.—This new penny magazine
will, it is said, create a great sensation. Consisting
of 24 pages same size, paper, and type as "All the Year
Round," it will have in addition a handsome illustration to
the leading tale, and when necessary diagrams and illustra-
tions to elucidate scientific articles. It will count amongst
its contributors several gentlemen who have written for
the Saturday Review, Blackwood, Fraser, The Quarterlr,
Spectator, Cornhill, Temple Bar, Sunday at home, Leisure
Hour, the Illustrated London News, and the Illustrated
Times. These writers are well versed in the way of
rendering science agreeable and fiction beneficial. In
addition to this, as a novel feature, the editor, Mr. Hain
Friswell, is to give, in " The Whispering Gallery," a
gossip with his readers, and a report of all that is most
new and interesting in science, literature, art, and so.-
ciety. Under such circumstances, we need not say that the
magazine will be readable from the first page to the last,
nor that the readers will preserve and prize it when read.
The leading tale of the Day of Rest is spoken most highly
of, and bears the absorbing title of " Tho Hidden Sin ;"
it is written by an author well known as a poet on the
leading critical journal.

EXCESS AND DEFECT.—Two singular incidents
occurred on the drawing for the conscription three
days back at Valognes
Manche). One young man, born
without arms, drew his number from the urn with his foot,
while another was so tall that ho could not pass erect be-
neath the measurement standard. lie was six feet seven
in height.

The neck of the Taeping rebellion is broken, but,
says the China Mail The various bands of
stragglers, consisting mostly of men belonging to
the original stock from which the insurrection
sprung, are massing together, the rendezvous being
some ten or fifteen miles from Fuhchau. People
arc as usual getting out of the way, and taking
their most portable valuables with them. We re-
corded this many weeks ago, but we wait in vain
for any action of the mandarins of the district, or
instructions from the authorities of Peking. All
this while the rebel remnant are being enabled to
consolidate their force and throw up positions of
defence ; and it is quite likely that they are at
present so engaged. It would almost seem as if
Imperial callousness had reached the point of look-
ing upon the subjugation of the Taeping rebels as
more the affair of foreigners than of mandarins ;
and it is to be feared that the only way to awaken
the Chinese Government to a sense of danger would
be to treat this reduced body of insurrectionists in a
conciliatory spirit, and see whether commercial
relations of a satisfactory kind are attainable be-
tween Taeping and foreigner. It is just possible
that these rebels might embrace such ,an opportunity
of returning to the pursuits of peace, and
settling down in permanent homes. We are
not at all sanguine on the matter, but, as affairs now
stand, or rather hang, a settlement of one kind or
another is most desirable. Of course the arrange-
ment just hinted at would involve the capture of
Fuhchau, and the appropriatiou of the Customs
revenue, to which our new friends would have no
objections ; and as they may have learned better
than to repeat the insolence to which they were
guilty at Ningpo, when they fired " salutes" with
shotted guns, it need not surprise us if the idea just
mooted should gain ground, eyen if it has not been
anticipated, in the highest quarters. The chief of
the remnant referred to is Shi Wang, and we shall
watch his movements with interest.

The same journal states :—The purchase. of
steamers by powerful daimios seems to have gone
on more or less briskly in Japan. No less than ten
Japanese steamers, we learn by this mail, were seen
at anchor in the straits by her Majesty's steamer
Arrow, which happened to be on a cruise of inspec-
tion in order to ascertain the reliability of some re-
ports to the effect that the Prince of Nagato
(Chiusiu) had begun to rebuild his batteries. These
reports were found to be incorrect. The steamers
at anchor were said to be a portion of a fleet
assembling under thirty daimios, for the purpose of
punishing Nagato for rebellion against the Tycoon.
The names of the vessels already assembled are thus
given by a Japan contemporary :—Lotus, No One,
Sarah, Fohkien, Stork, Carthage, Cosmopolite,
Taotai, Gazelle, and Swatow. The Dutch Consu-
late buildings at Desima (Nagasaki) are announced
for sale, and will probably be bought by the English
Government.

FLOGGING AS THEY COME.—It is said that on one
occasion when a confirmation was to be held for the
school, each master was requested to make out and send
in a list of the candidates in his own form. One of them
wrote down the names on the first piece of paper which
came to hand, which happened unluckily to be one of the
slips of well-known size and shape used as flogging-bills,
and sent up regularly with the names of delinquents for
execution. The list was put into Keate's hands without
explanation ; he sent for the boys in the regular course
and in spite of all protestations on their part, pointing to
the master's signature to the fatal " bill," flogged them all
(so the story goes) there and then. Another day a culprit
who was due for punishment could no where be found, and
the doctor was kept waiting on the scene of action for some
time in a state of considerable exasperation. In an evil
moment for himself, a namesake of the defaulter passed the
door ; he was seized at once by Keate's order, and brought
to the block as a vicarious sacrifice.—Blackwood's Magazine
fOr March.

CITY or LONDON HOSPITAL—The seventeenth
anniversary gathering of the friends of this institution was
held last evening at the London Tavern, and was so largely
attended that the ample dining-hall with difficulty found
accommodation, for all who adopted this practical method of
expressing sympathy with the objects of the charity. Lord
Enfield, M.P., presided, and in the course of some remarks
introductory to the toast of the evening said the primary
qualifications which he should deem essential in the case
of such a hospital as theirs were good drainage, pure air,
and a cheerful aspect. All these recommendations, he
was happy to say, united in the City of London Hospital,
which abutted on the Victoria Park, and received at
the east end of London a similar class of cases
to those which, at the west end, were treated in the
Brompton Consumptive Hospital honoured only the pre-
vious day by a visit from her Majesty the Queen. The
noble Chairman read extracts from the table of statistics,
with which he had been furnished, to illustrate the prac-
tical benefits conferred by the operations of the City of
London Hospital; and said that, in the presence of so many
distinguished medical mon, ho felt hesitation in ad-
vancing opinions of a professional nature, but they would
correct him if he was wrong in supposing that in the
earlier stages of disease at least oue-fourth of the cases were
curable, while the remaining three-fourths, even in later
stages, could be sensibly relieved. Having paid a warm
tribute of respect to the memory of the Earl of Carlisle,
late the President of the hospital, "an amiable and ac-
complished statesman, poet, and perfect gentleman in the
best sense of the word," Lord Enfield concluded by recom-
mending the institution to the warmest sympathy and sup-
port of the public, as one which had done and was capable
of doing great things for the health and comfort—even for
the lives--of vast numbers of our fellow-countrymen. The
speeches were pleasantly interspersed with selections of
vocal music, given with the best effect by Miss Julia Elton,
Miss Emma Jenkins, Mr. Cummings, and Mr. Winn, under
the direction of Mr. Francis. The collection made in the
course of the evening amounted to upwards of £3,500.

Reports are flying about in allparts of the country
in reference to electioneering matters, the various
constituencies being under the impression that a
general election will take place in the present year.
In the metropolis some changes are anticipated. Sir
James Duke will retire from the City of London,
and three candidates for the vacant seat are already
mentioned, viz., Mr. W. Lawrence, late Lord Mayor,
Mr. R. N. Fowler, the banker, and Mr. Mackay,
shipowner. From Westminster Sir De L. Evans
retires ; Captain Grosvenor and Mr. J. Stuart Mill
are already in the field on Liberal principles, and a
Conservative candidate is promised. Mr. A. J.
Beresford Hope has intimated his intention of
standing for Stoke-upon-Trent in the room of Mr.
Alderman Copeland, who retires. Mr. 11. J. Selwyn,
a son-in-law of the late Lord Lyndhurst, has an-
nounced that he will be a candidate for the borough
of Maldon in conjunction with Mr. Peacocke in the
Conservative interest. Mr. Western, the Liberal
member, offers himself for re-election. For the
little borough of Wallingford there arc three can-
didates, although Mr. Malins, Q.C., the sitting
member, has not said anything about retiring.
They are Mr. F. L. Austin, a gentleman of some
local influence, professing Conservative principles,
and two Liberals, in the persons of Sir C. Went-
worth Dilke, Bart., and Mr. G. W. Hastings. The
Hon. G. W. Craven is to be put in nomination for
the county of Berks, Mr. E. P. Bouverie retiring. Mr.
Haliburton, who at present represents.the borough
of Launceston, will retire at the close of the present
Parliament. Mr. Campbell, the new owner of War-
rington, has announced his intention of coming for-
ward in the Conservative interest. In the event of
Colonel Powell resigning his seat for Cardiganshire,
Sir Thomas Lloyd, Bart., of Bronwydd, will solicit
the suffrages of the electors as an independent sup-
porter of Lord Palmerston's Government. Mr. J. J.
Rogers has intimated his intention of retiring from
the representation of Helston, and Mr. Grylls is in the
field as his successor on the Conservative interest. He
will probably be opposed by Mr. A. .W. Goring, a
Liberal, formerly M.P. for the borough of Great
Yarmouth. Sir John Neeld, Bart., has consented to
become a candidate for the representation of the
borough of Chippenham at the next general election,
in conjunction with Mr. Richard Long. The Hon.
Horace Forbes, eldest son of Ihron Forbes, is an-
nounced as a candidate for the borough of Abingdon.
Sir George Stucley, Bart., offers himself as a candi-
date for the borough of Barnstaple. It is reported
that Mr. Chapman, the present member for Grimsby,
will not seek re-election on the dissolution of Parlia-
ment, and the Hon. William George Eden, of Cautley
Hall, near Doncaster, has been asked to become a can-
didate. The Liberal partyin the borough of Harwich
have selected Mr. Michael Wells, of Foley House,
Portland-place, London, to fight their battle at the
next general election. Mr. Wells states that if returned
to Parliament, he will support reform in the national
expenditure, efficiency in its defensive forces, ex-
tension of the franchise, civil and religious liberty,
and freedom of commerce. Mr. A. Fowke is named
as a candidate in the Conservative interest.

HEALTH OF LONDON,

(From the Registrar-General's Weekly Return.) a

In the week that ended last Saturday the births
in London and nine other cities or boroughs of the
United Kingdom were 4,280, the deaths 3,039.
The annual rate of mortality in the week in those
ten large towns was 29 per 1,000 persons living,
and greater than in the previous week, when it
was 28.

In London the births of 1,151 boys and 1,075
girls, in all 2,226 children, were registered. In cor-
responding weeks of 10 years, 1855-64, the ave-
rage number, corrected for increase of population,
was 2,094.

The number of deaths was 1,508. The corrected
average for the tenth week of 1855-64 is 1,484.
The actual return is therefore slightly in excess of
the estimated number.

Whooping-cough was the most fatal complaint
in the zymotic class of diseases; it caused 84 deaths.
Typhus was returned in 58 cases, a third part of
which occurred in the eastern districts of the metro-
polis. Both this disease and scarlatina appear to
be now less prevalent than they were in the earlier
weeks of the year. Of 41 deaths from scarlatina 16
occurred in the north districts. Sixteen cases of
small pox were recorded.

In the winter months the weekly deaths from
bronchitis much exceeded those from phthisis ; last
week the latter disease was the more fatal, but the
numbers were nearly equal. To phthisis were re-
ferred 191 deaths, to bronchitis 185, to pneumonia 71.
Five persons were killed by carriage accidents.
Eleven persons died at the age of 90 years and
upwards. Two persons had attained the age of 95
years, two 97 years. On the 2d inst., at 21, Lucas-
street, St. George-in-the-East, the death of a woman
was registered who had reached the age of 100 years.
On the 3d inst., at 40, Devonshire-street, St.
George-in-the-East, a female, aged 38 years, died
from disease of the lungs, accelerated by exposure
to cold and want of proper food—(inquest).
In Liverpool the births were 419, the deaths 342 ;
in Manchester the births 275, the deaths 214 ; in
Salford the births 82, the deaths 56 ; in Birming-
ham the births 292, the deaths 173 ; in Leeds the
birth 227, the deaths 121; in Bristol the births 107,
the deaths 94 ; in Edinburgh the births 132, the
deaths 91; in Glasgow the births 339, the deaths
297 ; in Dublin the births 181, the deaths 143.
The rate of mortality was 26 per 1,000 in London,
27 in Edinburgh, and 29 in Dublin, 37 in Liverpool,
31 in Manchester, 26 in Salford, 28 in Birmingham,
28 in Leeds, 30 in Bristol, and 37 in Glasgow.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 29.496 in.
The reading rose from 29.05 in. onMonday to 29.84
in. on Thursday. The mean temperature of the air
in the week was 37.3 deg., which is 3.1 deg. below
the average of the same week in 50 years (as deter-
mined by Mr. Glaisher). The mean daily tempera-
ture was below the average throughout the week.
The highest day temperature was 46.6 deg., and
was obtained on Sunday. The lowest night tem-
perature was 30.2 deg., and occurred on Wednesday.
On five nights the thermometer fell below, or to a
point scarcely exceeding, the freezing point of water.
The mean daily range was 10.2 deg. The mean de-
gree of humidity of the air was 82, complete satu-
ration being represented by 100. The wind was
west-south-west at the beginning of the week ;
afterwards chiefly in the north and north-west.
There was rain on four days ; the whole amount
was 0.45 in. Snow fell on Wednesday, Thursday,
and Friday.

At Eccles (Salford), Old Trafford (Manchester),
and Clifton, the lowest temperature on Friday but
slightly exceeded 25 deg.

MRS. YELVERTON AND THE SATURDAY REVIEW.
--The action of damages for slander raised by the
plaintiff in the Yelverton case against the Saturday Review
came before the Lord Ordinary, in the Edinburgh Court of
Session on Tuesday on the question of whether the juris-
diction of the court was sufficiently founded by arrest-
ment of funds owing to the defenders in Scotland. Tho
Lord Ordinary (Jerviswoode) gave his opinion for Mrs.
Yelverton.

FALL OF A PAPER MILL AND Loss OF LIFE.—
We learn, from our Greenock correspondent, that
on Tuesday afternoon, the three floors of tho Overton
Paper-mill fell with a terrific crash. The two lower floors
were filled with machinery, and the upper was used as a
store, and all fell, leaving the walls and roof standing. A
girl who had been in the mill at the time of the accident
was crushed to death.—Scotsman.

THE WAR IN THE RIVER PLATE.—Yesterday
the official correspondence regarding the war in the
River Plate, presented to the House of Commons in pur-
suance of their address to her Majesty, was printed. The
correspondence consists principally of communications from
Mr. Lettsom, the English representative at Montevideo,
fully detailing the diplomatic steps which have been taken
iu the quarrel, and the measures adopted to preserve our
neutrality, and protect British subjects and shipping. Some
communications have also taken place between the British
and French Governments, resulting in the adoption of simi-
lar instructions to the admirals of the two countries on the
South American station. These instructions are to use
every friendly means to secure the free navigation of the
river under the treaties of 4th March and 10th July, 1853,
but not to use force without reference to the Government
at home. Masters of merchant vessels are also to be
warned against carrying munitions of war to any belli-
gerent.
