Christopher WCain, acting tide-surveyor at Sunder-
land, has been promoted to the office of established

which, should it prove true, cannot fail to give
general satisfaction.

future litigation.

THE ORPHAN WORKING SCHOOL,

HAVERSTOCK-HILL.

Yesterday, the 95th anniversary festival of this charity
was held at the London Tavern, and was very fully at-
tended. The Lord Mayor was in the chair.
After the usual loyal and patriotic toasts, his Lord-
ship proposed "Prosperity to the Orphan Working
School ;" and, in the course of a very earnest address on
behalf of the charity, took occasion to state that the
charity was founded in May, 1758, for the support of 20
boys, to whom were soon added 20 girls. In 1773 a
new school was opened in the City-road for 70 children,
and continued there until 1847, when the present build-
ing at Haverstock-hill was opened, and received 153
children. The present number of recipients of the
charity was 241, and 25 are to be elected next month,
making a total of 266. He also stated that children were
received from all denominations. and from every part
of the United Kingdom. Children were now in the
schools born in the South Seas, Jamaica, Scotland, Ire-
land, Wales, and in nearly every part of the United
Kingdom. It was never asked of what religious deno-
mination were their parents, but simply were the child-
ren orphans ? Were they objects .of compassion ? Child-
ren were received from 7 until 11 years of age. They
remained until 14 or 15, and then, as far as was prac-
ticable, they were placed out as apprentices or servants,
with suitable outfits, to the boys of the value of 51., to
the girls of the value of 31. 35., and for the seven fol-
lowing years they were encouraged by rewards of from
ss. to 215., if their employers certified their conduct to
be satisfactory. The education was upon the plan of
the British and Foreign School Society, with such
improvements as were to be found in any or every
other system. The elder girls took their rotation in
the house and in the laundry to fit them for service. By
the fundamental rule of the charity the children must
attend a place of worship among protestant dissenters,
but beyond that there was nothing in the school or the
education by which you would understand anything of
sectarianism. No catechism of any denomination was
allowed to be used in the schools. The committee took
care to select pious and well qualified teachers. The
Bible was their companion and their catechism, and the
ruling was by love.
It appeared that the receipts in the last year were
4,8111. 2s. 4d., and the expenditure 4,9911. 14s. 5d.,
leaving a deficiency of 1801. 12s. ld. His lordship
stated that 1,000/. was wanted, and he hoped it would
be obtained on the present occasion.
The receipts amounted to about 7001., and the ear-
nestness with which the claims of the charity were advo-
cated by the several speakers who proposed or responded
to the different toasts, was fully reciprocated by the
company assembled.

fection, their Majesties returned for a few minutes
to the Salle du TrOne, and then took their depar-
ture at about twelve o'clock, the Emperor expres-
sing to M. Billault his entire satisfaction at the
admirable manner in which the fête had been con-
ducted.
Looking generally at this fete, the guests were
unanimous in declaring it to be one of the most
successful seen in Paris of late years. The number
of beautiful women present was extraordinary, and
the display of diamonds unusually fine. The vast
variety of official costumes imparted a peculiar ap-
pearance of animation to the scene ; and the uni-
forms of most of the military services of Europe
were to be seen there, the scarlet of the English
army being pretty numerously represented. Some
English court-dresses were also to be seen worn, it
is said, by same of the gentlemen who had in the
morning presented the peace address to the Em-
peror. The number of gentlemen in ordinary ball-
dress, namely the plain black coat, amounted per-
haps to about a fourth part of the male guests pre-
sent. It is calculated that about 5,000 persons
passed through the rooms in the course of the night.
About three o'clock the company began to thin, but
dancing was kept up with great spirit until half-
past four in the morning. To such persons as were
not present, we must declare, in conclusion, that
we can convey to them by our description of this
brilliant fête, but a very faint idea of the admirable
taste of the decorations, or the perfect success of
the various arrangements.

THE KAFIR WAR.

By the Calcutta we have received intelligenc,

which, should it prove true, cannot fail to give

MURDERS IN CALIFORNIA.

The Sacramento papers have long accounts of a warm
and exciting chase after the famous robber Joaquin.
On Friday last, the citizens of Jacksonville brought in
the dead body of Mr. Lake, a butcher of that place, and
the body of a Chinaman, who was wounded by a pistol
ball. It was not then known who had committed these
outrages. On the next day, Saturday, three Chinamen
were killed between Sutter and Jackson, a distance of
some four miles. The driver of the Stockton stage and
two passengers were killed on the same day by Joaquin
and two others, supposed to be Mexicans. The three
men were shot, and the horses taken from the stage.
On the same day, the same parties drove some fifty
Chinese from a camp in the neighbourhood, and carried
away or destroyed their tents. On the Thursday pre-
vious Joaquin rode through the village of St. Andres at
a quick gallop, and shot three Americans as he passed
through the streets. Joaquin is a young man, of about
19 years of age, and must be one of the best shots with
a revolver in this or any other country, as nearly all
these men were shot through the neck. The whole
band, it is supposed, consists of about 60 men, all of
whom are thought to be Mexicans.
A letter from Jacksonville, dated 13th Feb., says
The town is under the greatest excitement. A large
meeting of the citizens was held this evening, at which
measures were taken that must lead to the eventual cap-
ture of the murderer. Nearly our whole population has
volunteered to turn out in pursuit to-morrow. Woe to
the Mexicans if they are caught."
The party of Americans who started in pursuit, found
at Cook's Gulcb, on Sutter Creek, the dead body of a
Chinaman. They traced the robbers to Jackson Creek,
a few miles below this village, and there found more of
their work—one Chinaman mortally wounded. Mr.
Lake was living, but speechless, and died in a few
minutes after the arrival of the Americans. He had
been shot twice, and stabbed in the neck, and his mule
taken.

The American party followed on, and soon overtook
the Mexicans who had committed all these murders. The
villains managed to escape, with the loss of their horses,
blankets, &c., and one, or perhaps two, of them were
wounded.

One of the party, worn out by fatigue, having been
in hot pursuit of the robbers for six days, returned to
Sacramento with three horses captured from a portion of
Joaquin's party. The utmost excitement prevails
throughous the mines.

MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

To•day's market was very scantily supplied with al
kinds of English wheat. Selected samples moved off
readily tit the extreme rates paid on Monday, whilst the
value of- all other qualities were well supported. For for-
ward delivery there was rather more inquiry.
The imports of foreign wheat have exceeded 18,000
quarters ; all descriptions moved off slowly. In prices,
however, no change took place.
Floating cargoes sold readily, at very full prices.
Fine barley moved off freely, other kinds slowly, at last
week's currency. •
There was a moderate sale for malt, at previous rates.
There was a slight improvement in the sale for oats ; but
beans, peas, and flour were much neglected.

ATTACK OF MERCHANTMEN.

We learn from a letter dated Stanley, East Falkland,
Jan. 14, 1853 : —The brigantine Porcupine, which
sailed hence on the 14th ult., laden with machinery,
&c., for California, returned to this harbour to-day,
having met with a gale of wind off Cape Horn, from
which she ,took shelter in the Straits of Magellan, in-
tending, as the master informs me, to paSs into the
Pacific that way. He states that entering the Narrows,
where the current ran seven or eight knots an hour, he
was met by a sudden squall. His vessel became un-
manageable, and he let go her anchor in four fathoms
water. The tide fell, and left her dry. He then
landed a quantity of oats and barley, in casks, to
lighten his vessel, but as the neaps were coming on,
she did not again float until after several days. In
the interval a friendly intercourse had existed with
the Jndians, until a party of about thirty men
made an attack upon a part of the ship's crew
stationed on shOre in charge of the cargo, &c., to save
whom the master landed with more men, and drove the
Indians back about two miles. On the following day
about 300 Indians, better armed, with bows and quivers
full of arrows, and slings and stones, came down, and
compelled the crew to retire to their ship, which they
defended with one or two pistols and cutlasses. The
vessel was at this time lying on her side, nearly dry.
The Indians endeavoured to set fire to the ship, with
barrels and wood placed beneath the bilge, which caught
the main rigging, but was extinguished. Very fortu-
nately, the water rose, and the vessel floating got under
weigh, leaving behind an anchor, a quantity of oats,
barley, longboat, &c. The master (Mr. Wallinger)
states that he was struck by two arrows, and that the
heads (small, made of flint) remain still in the flesh.
Two of his men were also hit, and the arrow heads are
in the wounds. He thinks the loss of the Indians must
have amounted to upwards of twenty killed.
He reports having seen close to where he,was ashore
the remains of a vessel nearly consumed by fire, but he
could discover no indication of her name, nor even make
out her rig.
The injury done to the Porcupine is supposed to be
serious ; she makes ten inches water an hour.

BEALTII OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK.

(From toe Registrar-General's Report.)
The deaths in London, which had declined to 1,274
in the previous week, rose again in the week that ended
last Saturday to 1,321. In the ten corresponding weeks
of the years 1843 —52-the average number of deaths was
1,165, which, with a correction for increase of popula-
tion, gives a mortality for last week of 1,282. The ac-
tual number of deaths registered last week therefore
exceeds the estimated amount by 39.
In comparing the results of the last two weeks in re-
ference to fatal diseases, there appears a considerable
uniformity, except in phthisis, the mortality of which
rose from 131 to 153, and pneumonia, which declined
from 101 to 88. Bronchitis numbered in the two weeks
174 and 175 deaths, which is double the average at this
period of the year; )cooping-cough 70 and 65, typhus 56
and 53. The mortality from scarlatina continued the
same, and amounted in each week to 37. The son of an
oilman, aged 4 months, died at 135, High-street, Kent-
road, on 21st March, of " cholera Angelica (4 days)."
Last week the births of 752 boys and 728 girls, in all
1,480 children, were registered in London. In the eight
corresponding weeks, of the years 1845-52 the average
number was 1,556.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height
of the barometer in the week was 29.762 in. The mean
temperature of the week was 33.3 deg., or 9 deg. below
the average of tha same week in 38 years. The mean
temperature was about 8 deg. below the average on four
days of the week, and on Wednesday, Thursday, and
Friday, the depression was more than 10 degrees. The
mean dew point temperature was 26.6 deg. The wind
blew generally from north-east.
