h GREAT EXPEDITION IN WRITING.—On the recent

GREAT EXPEDITION IN WRITING.—On the recen,
hearing of the evidence on the Huddersfield Election
Petition before a committee of the House of Commons,
our reporter received much assistance in preparing the
voluminous notes which have appeared in this journal
during the progress of the inquiry. Mr. Kerr, the well-
known law stationer, of Chichester Rents, Chancery-
lane, London, With,his large staff of writers, on several
occasions verified the old adage, "many hands make
light work." On the afternoon of the 10th of March
•

ultimo, our reporter's minutes of the evidence were ex-
ceedingly heavy, and at a few minutes to five o'clock he
waited on Mr. Kerr and told him he must have a copy
to send to the Examiner by seven o'clock that evening.
The copy alluded to occupied one hundred and thirty
sheets open foolscap, each sheet containing forty-two
lines, and each line supposed to contain about twenty
words, or in the whole nearly one hundred and nine
thousand two hundred words. Mr. Kerr readily under-
took to complete the work, and when our reporter
called in little more than two hours, this large volume
of writing was lying on Mr. Kerr's counter quite ready,
and in a few minutes was in the mail train on its way
to the printing-office of this paper. Great praise is due
to every one connected with Mr. Kerr's establishment,
not only for the expeditious manner, but also for the
beautifully clear writing, in which the notes for the
Ex iminer were transcribed. The punctuality, civility,
and intelligence displayed warrant us in recommending
others to patronise the very useful and respectable es-
tablishment already mentipned.—Zdars.fiek4 Examiner. j
London, England, 1853-04-21

"The Artists' Annuity--and: Benevolent Funds," and
other toasts having been drunk, the-company separated
about half-past 10, --the collections of the evening
amounting to 5501.
The musical arrangements were under the direction
of Mr. Hobbs, who was most ably supported by Miss
Eyles, Miss Emma Phillips, Mr. Francis, Mr. Manvers,
Mr. Cummings, and Mr. H. Phillips.
We may observe that, by an arrangement peculiar to
the stewards of public dinners, the representatives of
the press were placed at so great a distance from the
speakers as to make it a matter of great difficulty to
catch even the import of what fell from the chairman or
the other gentlemen who addressed the company.

THE TREATMENT OF OUR SEAMEN.

On; more we feel compelled to call the attention of
the Admiralty to the state of affairs on board of our ships
on the home station. If we have pressed our warnings
on their lordships in somewhat stronger language than
we have been accustomed to use, it is because we feel
assured that there is not only danger in delaying to man
our navy, but there is greater danger in the continuance
of a system' which tends to degrade and disgust the petty
officers of the fleet, and in postponing the redress of
those grievances among our seamen which every day's
experience renders more unbearable. That there is an
eager disposition to "run" from the Royal Pendant, the
Admiralty have been duly informed by Sir Thomas
Cochrane,§ the Commander-in-Chief at Portsmouth, and
he has also given their lordships the result of his personal
examination of some of the " common seamen" of the
Prince Regent at his office ; but the facts are palpably
seen in the unprecedented number of courts-martial on
prisoners charged with desertion, and despite of Sir James
Graham's "secret and confidential" letters to the ports,
and all his attempts to gag officials, the "truth will
out," and the "reason why" will, by some means
or other, get into the newspaper. At all events
we are determined that the public shall not be kept
in ignorance of the real state of things in our dock-
yards and on board our men of war. We defy all Sir
James Graham's efforts to suppress the facts. We feel
that we are rendering the best service to the country by
warning the Admiralty of the breakers ahead, of the un-

lIE.ILTII OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK.

( Front the Registrar-General's Report.)
A declining rate of mortality affords evidence of a
gradual improvement in the public health. Since the
weekly mortality rose to its maximum at the end of
March, the number of deaths fell, in the first week of
April, to 1,340 ; and in that which ended last Saturday
to 1,243. Since the week ending March 26th, in which
it was 33.3 deg., the mean temperature has risen to
44.4 deg.
In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1843-52,
the average number of deaths was 972 ; which, if raised
in proportion to increase of population, gives a mortality
for last week of 1,069. The return of la :t week, there-
fore, shows an excess of 174 above the estimated
amount.

The two complaints of an epidemic character, which
from their fatal effects appear to prevail most at present
are typhus and hooping-cough, the former having de-
stroyed 65 lives, the latter 58. Bronchitis, though
much abated, is still marked by a severity not usual at
this season ; it was fatal in 128 cases, while the corrected
average of corresponding weeks does not exceed 84.
Phtlusis destroyed 165 persons. Pneumonia has de-
clined to 89, which is also, however, greater than is usual
in this month.

Mr. Burnett, registrar of the Piumstead sub-district
(Lewisham), says :—" The deaths in the quarter in my
sub-district are rather above the average. Malignant
scarletina has prevailed to a considerable extent in one
part of it. The houses are new, and mostly inhabited
by respectable mechanics ; the locality i 4 open and airy,
but I believe there is no drainage ; whether this fact has
anything to do with the disease I cannot tell."

Mr. belehatn, registrar of Lewisham village (sub-
district, says :—" The return for the March quarter
exceeds that of the corresponding quarter of last year.
There has been a great deal of mortality among old peo-
ple. lam happy to state that considering the season,
and the large amount of low dwellings without drainage
that exist (in fact many unfit for habitation), wo have
had but few cases of typhus, and those, in almost every
instance, have arisen from a family having come into
this district suffering from typhus at the time."
Last week the births of 853 boys and 826 girls, in all
1,679 children, were registered in London. In the eight
corresponding weeks of the years 1845-52, the average
number was 1,407.

REPEAL OF DUTIES ON SOAP.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
he wished to make a statement with regard to an error
in the custom resolutions he had laid on the table,for which
he took blame. Among the class of articles on which
he proposed to reduce duties, was that of soap, and in
the resolutions it appeared that the duty on hard soap
was to be reduced to 16s. ; on soft soap, 18s. ; and on
Naples soap, 16s. These figures were prepared by him
before he had an opportunity of submitting to the
Government his proposition for abolishing altogether the
Excise duty on soap, and before it had been determined
to submit that proposition to Parliament, and owing to
the pressure of business, it had escaped him to strike
these duties out of the resolutions. It was his intention
that the duty on the importation of foreign soap should
cease altogether when the Excise duty was remitted at
home. (Hear.)

THE TREATMENT OF OUR SEAMEN

Once more we feel compelled to call the attention of
on the home station. If we have pressed our warnings
the Admiralty to the state of affairs on board of our ships
on their lordships in somewhat stronger language than
we have been accustomed to use, it is because we feel
assured that there is not only danger in delaying to man
our navy, but there is greater danger in the continuance
of a system which tends to degrade and disgust the petty
officers of the fleet, and in postponing the redress of
those grievances among our seamen which every day's
experience renders more unbearable. That there is an
eager disposition to " run" from the Royal Pendant, the
Admiralty have been duly informed by Sir Thomas
Cochrane,l the Commander-in-Chief at Portsmouth, and
he has also given their lordships the result of his personal
examination of some of the " common seamen" of the
Prince Regent at his office ; but the facts are palpably
seen in the unprecedented number of courts-martial on
prisoners charged with desertion, and despite of Sir James
Graham's

THE BENEFITS OF EMIGRATION.

Emigration has put the country in possession of gold, which all I
financiers declare to be the best curren.y ; it has provided employ-
ment for capital and a field for labour, which nothing else could
have done ; but the greatest benefits Emigrants can avail them-
selves of are Outfits and Clothing provided by E. Mows and Sox :
these display suitability, completeness. and economy in articles re-
quired by Emigrants of every profession and occupation, or may be
selected for any voyage or climate—the very lowest price being
charged for every article. A separate Department is kept for Out-
fitting. Ship sailing information and full Lists of Outfits for Ladies
and OentlemeD. May be had on application, or post free to any part
of the kingdom.
Observe!—The Largest Wholesale Clothing Establishment in the
world offers the beat opportunities for investment to Merchants,
Captains, and Emigrants.
CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the
public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like
falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's
the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for
obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have
No CONNEXION WITH ANY OTHEX HOUSE IN Oa OUT OF LONDON,
except their own Establishments, as follows :
London City Establishment, 154, 155, 156, and 157, Mimics, 83,

IMPORTANT.—ShouId any article not give satisfaction, it will be
exchanged if desired, or, if preferred, the money will be returned

ARRIVAL OF THE ARABIA.
(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)

LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.

Tho British and North American Royal Mail
steam-ship Arabia, Captain Judkins, arrived in our
river this forenoon with the usual mails from the
United States and British North American posses-
sions, aboutl6s passengers, and specie to the amount
of $525,000 on freight. By this arrival advices
have been received from New York to the 15th
inst., being 4 days later than were received by the
Atlantic on Tuesday last.

The Arabia reports having passed the Royal Mail
steam-ship Asia off New York, on the day of her
departure ; the Asia left Liverpool on the 4th inst.
The intelligence received respecting the late
riots at Montreal announces the fatal termination
of 12 cases amongst those who had been wounded
by the military, yet, notwithstanding the unfortu-
nate occurrence, Father Gavazzi had received an
invitation to lecture again, when a continuation of
the late disgraceful proceedings was anticipated.
The Royal Commissioner to the American Exhi-
tion has left New York on a visit to Philadelphia,
and it was expected would afterwards make a tour
through Canada.

PRESENT CLAIMS.
IT is said Russia claims what Turkey won't
allow: possibly the Emperor of the North is not content to
take "Turkey figs and carpets" in preference to "Russian tallow
and hides ;" or he may think a slice from the Eastern Empire
would probably improve his Northern dominions. However this
affair may terminate, it will no way influence those claims which
the season brings round; nor is it desirable it should, for from
them manifold pleasures are derived. Gentlemen of all professions,
Mechanics, and Labourers claim attire suitable for wear in their
occupations, and for Dress occasions—the articles which never fail
to impart an elegant, gentlemanly, and fashionable appearance. All
these advantages, associated with very low charges, are displayed
in the Clothing to Measure, or Ready-made, at the Establishment
of E. Moms and Sore, Alegate and Minories, or their Branch
Establishment, New Oxford-street, corner of Hart-street.
The claims of Young Gentlemen about to return from school may
be easily anticipated by Parents and Guardlans. These claims are
new claims, which E. MOSES and SON furnish better, store fashion-
able, more comfortable, more durable, and far cheaper than any
other House can do. For the Midsummer Holidays novelties have
been provided excelling even former displays. This Attire will give
pleasure to every purchaser, and E. Moses and Sou have the greatest
pleasure in thus providing every novel description of Summer Dress
at the lowest possible prices.
The claims of the largest Clothing Business in the world—the
most gigantic and artistic Tailoring Establishment in the universe—
the most fashionable Hosiery Department in the kingdom—a Hat
and Cap Branch which has no parallel, and a magnilcent Boot and
Shoe Emporium, at E. Moses and Sores, claim public attention for
superior quality and very economical charges for every article.
London, England, 1853-06-25

PORTUGAL.

The expectation of an amicable termination to the
dispute between the Government and the Bank of Por-
tugal has been again frustrated. It is in contemplation
to attempt to obtain a temporary loan by pledging the
inscriptions recently taken from the Fundo de Amorti-
zacao. • These amount nominally to 3,000 contos; and
are worth about 270,0001. at the present quotations of
40. They have been converted into a Three per
Cent. Stock, in virtue of the decree of the 18th
December, and are now to be sent over to London. It
must be borne in mind that this is the identical fund
fund which was first to be applied to the construction of
the Northern Railway, and was subsequently diverted
to the imaginary line to Santarem.
Senhor Fontes has announced to the Chamber of De-
puties that the contract for the railway will be brought
forward immediately, but that the abolition of the to-
bacco monopoly will be deferred till the next session in
November. -
Inscriptions are quoted at 404 ; Shares in the Bank
of Portugal are 310,000 ; Exchange on London is 541
for bills at 90 days' date. Oil still ranges at the high
price of 601, per tun on board.

CRICKET.

MARYLEBONE CLUB AND GROUND v. THE
GENTLEMEN OF RUGBY SCHOOL.

This match was resumed yesterday morning at Lords,
and as it approached its termination gave rise to an ex-
traordinary amount of excitement, for Rugby won only
by one run. There was an absentee on the Marylebone
side, in the person of Captain Buckley, who, being in the
Guards, had to be upon duty. It is but fair to the gal-
lant officer to say, that when he promised to play upon
this occasion he was not aware that it was a two days'
match. Those of our readers who are now, or who had
been, zealous in the cause of cricket will easily picture to
their own minds the anxiety which was created as the
match proceeded during the latter part of the contest,
and the cheering as the Marylebone wickets fell in the
second innings will long be remembered by the residents
in the neighbourhood, as well as by the frequenters of
Lord's ground.
