VACCINATION DILL.

Oa the motion for the second reading of this bill,
Mr. BA-P.IIOW übjicted to the Litt, and. asked the
Government to postpone the second reading of it till
After the recess, to give the country an opportunity of
considering it. It contained many objectionable provi-
sions.

Mr. MITCHELL also objected to the bill, and com-
plained that it should have been put down on the paper,
having understood it was now to be posip med. He
looked upon this as a measure for slaughtering the in-
nocents, detcriorating_the human race, and the propoga.
tion of the small-pox. Vaccivatiou was no security
against small-pox.
The bill was ultimately pcstponed till after the
recess.

ASSAULTS ON WOMEN AND CIILDREN.
DILLWYN moved for leave to bring iu a bill to
amend the act 16 and 17 Vic., c. 30, f,r the better pre-
vention and punishment of aggravatcd assaults upoa
women and children. In 1853 an act was passed subeti-
tuing six months' imprisonment and sureties for 51. fine
and two months' imprisonment under a previous act.
An amendment was proposed that corporeal punish-
ment should be inflicted on the ruffians who attacked
helpless women and children. That amendment was
lost, on the ground principally of expediency—that as
attempt should be made of uniting these cases with a
long imprisonment. Experience had shown that the act
had not worked as was expected. The returns showed
that in the metropolitan disiricts alone 877 convictions
had taken place in two years, being more than one a
day. In 1354 the number was 353, and in 1853, 320,
which diminution, lie thought, was more attributable to
accidental circumstances than any falling off in the crime.
The number who bad been sentenced to six months' im-
prisonment was 184, and he knew that in many
eases wives had withheld proceedings against their
husband, knowing they• wire the sufferer if they were
sentenced to six months' imprisonment. He proposed
to repeal the act except the second clause, and be pro-
posed to reduce the punishment to not more than two
months imprisonment, nor less than 14 days, and that
he should 1.• once whip; eI. The hon. geotleman
then adverted to the arguments that had been used
against corporeal punishment, and said that be be-
lieved that punishment could not brutalise or de-
grade a man who would lift his band against a defence-
less woman or child. On the whole, he thought this
would not be a punishment against the spirit of the age,
as some suppose' ; and in conclusion he said legislation
respected property more than the person. The flogging
should be compulsory on conviction, and if that was
known, he thought it would deter the frequent nom•
mitial of these offences.

Mr. BARROW wished to see a better system of
punishment introduced with reference to those cases,
but he doubted if the remedy now proposed would have
the desired effect.

After some further discussion, the bill was brought in
and read a first time.

The other orders of the day having been disposed of,
The house adjourned at 25 minutes to four o'clock.

ILEA LTH OF LONDON DURING TH.&
WEEK.

(From the Report of the Registrar-General.)

The total number of deaths registered in London,
which had been 1,029 iu the previous week, rose to
1,052 in the week that ended last Saturday. The
rate of mortality nov prevailing is considerably less
than has been generally experienced in the begin-
ning of March, for the rate (taking the average)
which prevailed at this period in the last ten years
would have produced in the present increased
population 1,252 deaths. The difference is 170 in
favour of last week.

The present return includes the deaths of 570
males and 512 females. To the sifnaotic or epi-
demic class of diseases 205 deaths are referred,
being a greater number than is found in any of the
other classes into which the causes of death are
divided. The tubercular class, including phthisis,
has 192 deaths assigned to it ; the class of pul-
monary- diseases, principally bronchitis, pneumonia,
and asthina,,l9l ; diseases of the nervous system,
125 ; diseases of the digestive organs, 56 ; of the
heart and other organs of circulation, 52. Of par-
ticular diseases phthisis was the most fatal, and
numbered 129 deaths.. Hooping-cough, which was
fatal in 53 cases, appears to be the most prevalent
of the epidemics ; scarlatina caused 24 deaths,
typhus 52. Of 10 deaths returned by the Registrar
of St. Mary, Paddington, four were from scarla-
tina, two from measles, and one from hooping-
cough, leaving only three not caused by diseases of
the epidemic character. Four deaths are returned
hole the sub-district of Christchurch, Marylebone,
all by epidemics—viz., 2 by measles, 1 by scarla-
tina, Iby fever. •There were 2 deaths from infin-
enza,,and catarrhal affections have been common
lately, though not often attended with the fatal
results which alone place them in the registers.
15 deaths occurred from small-pox ; 3of these in
the Smallpox Hospital. 7 infants died in conse-
queue!: of malformation of some plrt of the body.
15 women died of fever or other disease incidental
to chill-bearing. A. man, aged 65 years, died on
the Bth of February in the workhouse Mile-end
New-town from want.

A death from cholera is reported ; it occurred
after an illness of a very short duration. The par-
ticulars are as follow :—At 11, Half-moon-street,
Bishopsgato, on the 7th of ,March, a journeyman
blacksmith, aged 48 years, " cholera (10 hours)."
The house (adds the registrar) is drained and ten-
tilated, and there is no apparent circumstance to
account for the di:in!tse.

Two women died in the week at the age of 94
years.
Last week the births of 994 boys and 931 girls,
—iu all 1,925 childreu,—were registered in Lon-
don. In the ten corresponding weeks of the ) ears
1840 55, the average number was 1,589.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the read-
ings of the barometer were high • the mean of every
day was above 30 inches, and the mean of the week
was 30.265 inches. The highest readin., occurred
at the beginning of the week, and was 3049 inches.
The mean temperature of the week was 38.3. deg.,
which is 1.6 below the average of the same .week
in 33 years (as determined by Mr. Glashier). The
mean temperature was below the If varacio on every
day after Monday ; and on Saturday thel extent of
depression waa 4.6 deg. The highest temperature
occurred on Sunday and Saturday, and was 46
deg. ; the lowest eceurred also on Saturday, and
was 26 deg., 0r..6 deg. below freezing point. On
the same day the lowest reading of a thermometer
on the grass was 17 dog. The mean dew-point
temperature was 34.3 deg. ; and the difference he-
tween this and the Mean temperature .of the air
was 4 deg. The mean temperature of the water
of the Themes was 43.5 deg., and higher by 5 (Zeg.
than the mean temperature of the air. The wind
blew generally from the north-east. A little-raiu
fell on two days, hut too small in amount to be
measured by the-gauge.

HAYMARKET THEATRIL—The respected treasurer of
this theatre, Mr. ♦Vilde, has announced his benefit for
to-morrow evening. The entertainments consiat of the
Evil Census, A Lover by Proxy, and Gritnshaw, Bag-
thaw, and Bradshaw—a series of attractive pieces, in
which the entire force of the house,will appear.
LYCEUM TREATRE.—An entertainment of a very mul-
tifarious kind was given at this theatre last night, for
the benefit of Mr. Hingston, the treasurer of Mr. Ander-
son during the connection of that gentleman with the
late Covent-garden Theatre. The bill was comprised of
divers odds and ends—tragedy, farce, ballet, Grecian
statues, concert singing, and speech inakitig, being
interweaved in one long list. The attendance at the
outq3t of the evening was cons'derable, and, during the
time we were in tt e house, the performances appeared
to give unlimited satisfaction. One of Mr. Hingston's
titles to fame is the invention of " the Green bonnet,"
which Mr. Charles Mathews turns to so much vomit
account in the " Great Gun Trick." Those who are
interested in the literature of the dead walls of the me-tropolis may be pleased to learn that to Mr. Hingstou
are they indebted for the ingenicus puffs, preliminary,
collateral, and allusive, which they have Irons time to

The Earl of DERBY—I confess, my lords, that the
statement of the noble lord would have been more satis-
factory to me if be had gone farther, and told us what
had been done with a view to proceeding a,gainst the con-
tractor implicated ; and if it should turn out upon in-
quiry into the state of the law, that the law allowed of
proceedings being instituted, we might rest assured that
that step would lie taken.

Lord PANMURE was understood to say that the
matter was still under inquiry.
AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS BILL.

Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY, in moving the
second reading of this hill, thought it only neeessary to
call their lordships' attention to its important nature,
affecting as it did 18,000,000/. worth of property. At
Present these statistics were known only to a few ; but
so great was their national importance that they ought
tc: be open to the entire Country. The noble lord then

to increase that feeling of jealousy in respect to the powers
referred to, which it ought to be our object as much as
possible to allay. I have been for a long time satisfied of
the great importance—and to the farmers more especially
--of obtaining as far as possible accurate statistical infor-
mation as to our agricultural prospects. And I may men-
tion this fact in corroboration of that statement, that in
a few days after I took office in 1852 I wrote a letter to
my noble friend the Duke of Richmond, urging upon
him the importance of obtaining accurate agricultural
statistics in the c ounties with which lee was connected,
and pressing upon him the wildcat of obtaining from
the Agricultural Society of England their concur-
rence in this proceeding, so that by their intervention
they might induce the farmers to supply that information
voluntarily ; and I promised the noble duke that the as-
sistance of Government in effecting this object would be
given in every way possible. It is not, therefore, now
for the first time that I have expressed this opinion; but
having read the report of the committee of last year upon
this subject, and of that of the committee of 1854, I have
come to the conclusion that to obtain accurate agricul-
tural statistics is a matter of extreme importance to the
country generally, and to no class of greater importance
than to the practical agriculturists themselves. (Hear.) I
must confess, also, that I have come to the conclusion,
from readingthe evidence before last year's committee,
that if you are to obtain this information in England you
must obtain it by means of a compulsory measure. I
further and entirely concur in the opinion expressed by
the witnesses examined before such committee, that
if you desire to obtain full and accurate informa-
tion the farmers themselves would rather give it
in obedience to the law which all persons will be equally
bound to obey, than give it under circumstances which
made it optional for each individual to supply such in-
formation, and which left the farmers uncertain as to
whether the same information will not be also given by
others of their class. It is manifest that if the informa-
tion be not given generally the result will be fallacious.
I am convinced, then, that it is in the first instance of
great importance to obtain accurate agricultural statis-
tics, and in the next that to obtain such information with
the least amount of dissatisfaction from the farmers, some
compulsory power must be resorted to. My noble friend
behind me has spoken of the degradation which would
be inflicted upon the farmers byiendingiparties into their
houses requiring them to make returns of their live stock
and produce. Now, I confess I see no degradation what-
ever on the part of any.farseer or occupier of land in mak-
ing a return of that which it is obvious may be ascer-
tained by any of his neighbours, or by the slightest in-
spection which the landlord has the opportunity of making
either by himself or by his steward ; or which may be
obtained without the landlord seeing the land at all, by
his simply knowing what rotation of crops had been pre-
scribed for the land in question. My opinion is, that of
the two modes of obtaining this information—namely,
whether the statement is to be made for the farmer or
by him—that that must be the most satisfactory to him
which is made by himself. Now, what was the farmer
called upon to state ? lie was not called upon, as my
noble friend has stated, to disclose any of his private af-
fairs. He is only called upon to state that he holds a
certain number of acres, and he is then to say how much
of his land is laid down in wheat, how much in barley,
how much in oats, and in other descriptions of produce.
And while I am on this subject I wish to throw it out for
the consideration of the Government whether the co-
Name of their proposed schedule are not unnecessarily

The Earl of HARD WICKE said that since the repeal
of the corn laws he had invariably urged the necessity of
agricultural statistics, as being of more importance now
than before the withdrawal of protection. The farmers
were of opinion that by means of returns large profits in
corn would be at once published to the world; but the
average was as well known abroad as at home. This
country was now a refuge for the destitute. Every
other country had a corn law, and as England was
without it was certain that, whenever high priced were
offered for grain, the country woold be flooded by corn.
The only way would be to have a clear statement of
what corn was in the country, the question being as to
the best mode of proceeding. He agreed in the opinion
that the least popular board would he the board of guar-
dians, as farmers would be more jealous of letting their
affairs being known to such bodies than to the Govern-
ment of the country. The magistrates were the gentry
of the country, and if on the receipt of the papers the
compilation was made and sent to the Board of Trade,
and the papers destroyed, he thought the machinery
would work easily ; but care should be taken to avoid
giving the names of individuals. (near.) There was
hardly a poor-law inspector in the country who did not
bear testimony to the unpopular character of boards
of guardians for such purposes as wero contemplated by
this bill. Without entering into the details of the mea-
sure, he would simply urge that the returns should
be made through the medium of the magistrates of
petty sessions, and not of hoards of guardians. That
course be believed would be both cheaper and better. He
trusted that after the recess, and when the public han

Mr. Sergeant Byles (with whom'were Mr. Montague
Smith, Q.C., and Mr. Honeyman) appeared on the part
of the petitioner, and said that that gentleman was the
second son of the Rev. John Crosbie, whose name was
formerly Talbot, but who assumed the name of Crosbie
under the provisions of tie will of the Earl of Glendore,
but on aces ling to certain property again resumed the
name of Talbot. He was formerly in the army, and
held a commission in the 35th Infantry, which service
he quitted, and in 1844 became acquainted with the
family of Mr. Marcus M`Causland, of Fruit-hill, in the
county of Derry, a gentleman of fortune and respecta-
bility, who had six daughters and one son. Mr. Talbot
married Marianne, the eldest daughter, in January 1145,
at Balteagh Church, in the county of Derry. After the
marriage they went abroad, and returned in 1847, and
resided at Summer-hill, near Mallow. Mr. Talbot's cir-
cumstances were humble—he not having more than
5001. a year, and his household was on a modest scale.
[n November, 1848, he hired a man named William
Mullan, as groom and out-door servant at 4s. a-week—
which was afterwards raised to 68.—who slept out of the
house. Mrs. Talbot evinced a partiality for Mullan
while at Summer-hill, and was in the habit of supplying
him with wine, spirits, jam, biscuits, cream, and other
delicacies. By means unknown to Mr. Tally t, Mullen
was introduced to sleep in the house. In Augu4,
1850, Mr. Talbot's elder brother, who lived in the
county of Kerry, lost his wife, and Mr. Talbot left
home for seven or eight days. During his absence, this
unfortunate lady was in the habit of sitting till half-past
10 at the drawing-room fire tete-4 tete with the groom,
who was also seen with her in Mr. ralbot's bed-room.
She gave him wine in the bed-room, which one of the
servants attempted to taste, and was sharply reproved
by Mrs. Ta'bot, on which she retorted that "she had
as much right to it as Mullan." Mrs. Talbot re-
plied that " she would tell her master of her imper-
tinence," but, instead of that, she afterwards asked
the servant not to mention the subject to her master.
While living at Summer-hill Mr. Talbot aged to sit over
his wine after dinner, and Mrs. Talbot at that time was
in the habit of going to Mullan's bed-room and staying
there for an hour at a time. He was also seen with her
iu a dressing-room where there was a bed. They left
Summer-hill and removed to a place called Eden-hill,
where the clergyman, Mr. Williamson, his wife and
daughter, were intimately acquainted with the Talbots.
In 1851 Mr. Talbot,
.of Mount Talbot, died, and Mr.
Talbot, the petitioner, was again absent from home.
Mr. and Mrs. Williamson asked Mrs. Talbot to stay a
few days with them, which she declined. Rumours hav-
ing reached them, Mr. and Mrs. Williamson (this was
in May, 1853) went to pay Mrs. Talbot a visit, and on
driving up to the house found the parlour window blinds
down, and were told she was from home. They drove
on, and on their retarn saw Mrs. Talbot's child, a girl
of fire or six years old, playing before the door, and they
went in. Mrs. Talbot was again denied, but after a time
she appeared at the drawing-room door, that room the
blinds of which had been drawn down, in a state of great
excitement, and refused to let those ladies go into it.
They after a struggle forced themselves in and found no
one there, but remarked that the windows were then
open. They told her of the reports afloat with regard
to her intimacy with the groom, and she asked if they
believed it. Miss Williamson replied, "If you deny it
we do not believe it." Mrs. Williamson told her that
her housemaid bad said that she had seen the groom
take liberties with her ; upon which she said, "If it
comes to John's ears, I do not know what I shall de."
No further intimacy with her was kept up by the Wil-
liatnsons ; but after deliberating what was to he done,
it was resolved to communicate with her father and
mother.; an interview was arranged to take place at Bel-
fast for that purpose. After that Mr. and Mrs. Talbot,
sen., both came to Mount Talbot, and remonstrated with
her (as we understood). On the death of Mr. Talbot, Mount
Talbot, that property came to petitioner and he and his wife
went to reside there. The same improper conduct with
the groom was continued there. In Oct., 1851, Mr. Tal-
bot was again absent, and during that absence a servant
named Maria Owen, one evening after 8 o'clock, having
been previously told by Mrs. Talbot not to attend to her
fire, but nevertheless, going to her bedroom, saw Mrs.
Talbot and Mullaa on the bed together, in such circum-
stances as to leave no doubt of their criminality. At that
time Mullan slept in a room over an out-house, the laun-
dry, and it would be shown that Mrs. Talbot was in the
habit of going to his room, sometimes taking her daugh
ter with her, but at others taking her into the yard, and
Fending her with a servant into another out-house on
some pretext. She was seen through the window to be
in the room, and heard there by persons in the room
underneath. She was very particular about Mullan's
shirts, seeing that they were as good as her husband's,
and paid extraordinary attention to his linen. In April
or May, 1852, Mr. Talbot took into his service a person
named Halloran, who was the first to communicate to his
master what was going on, and it was arranged that Hal-
loran and one Finnerty should watch the parties, and it
having been ascertained that Mrs. Talbot had gone into
Mullan's bed-rooes, Mr. Talbot went with Halloran and
Finnerty to tile door. One of thew said, " Mullan are you

VICE.CHANCELLORS' COURTS.—MARCEt 10.
(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir W. P. Wood.)
LEVY V. LAMB.
This was a motion on behalf of the plaintiff to restrain
the defendants, G. 11. Lamb, H. Lamb, and T. Lamb,
from completing or taking any further proceedings to-
wards completing the sale of the Sunday Times to the
defendant, T. E. Smith, and from assigning or transfer•
ring the newspaper or any share therein to Smith or any
other person without the plaintiff's consent. It appeared
from the statements in the bill that the plaintiff had
been requested in October, 1854, by the defendants
Lamb, who 4tre the proprietors of the Sunday Tenses,
to undertake the management of the paper. The plaintiff
stated his terms in a letter of the 25th of October, 1854,
and in November, 1854, it was agreed, in an interview
between the plaintiff and the defendant George Lamb,
that the defendants should engage him for the term of
three years at five guineas a-week to manage and con-
duct the Sunday limes, this salary to be increased to
eight guineas a-week as soon as the profits of the paper
should be increased to the extent of 1,0001. per annum,
and that the plaintiff should have the option at any time
during the term of three years of purchasing a quarter
of the newspaper for 2,0001. This agreement was, at
the request of George Lamb, reduced into writing by the
plaintiff and signed by him in duplicate. Two copies of
this agreement were sent to George Lamb for the signa-
ture of himself and brothers, and several ineffectual
attempts were made by the plaintiff in 1855 that the
agreement should be returned to him signed by the de
fendants. Towards the end of 1855 the plaintiff was
invited to purchase the whole of the newspaper, but
dedlined to take upon himself so large a responsibility.
Having subsequently been informed that the defendants
were determined to sell the paper, he wrote to the de-
fendant H. Lamb, on the 28th. of January, 1856, ex-
pressing his surprise at what he had heard, especially
after the arrangement between them that he should
have the right to purchase a quarter of the paper
within a given period. He admitted that the agree-
ment, with only his signature attached, had been lying
in the hands of George Lamb, at whose request and
upon the ground that there was rarely an opportunity
of getting half an hour with the defendants on the affairs
of the paper, be bad allowed the completion of the
agreement to stand over, and that he had not objected
to this, knowing the agreement to be morally and legally
binding, at the same time urging them at once to com-
plete the documents and settle the arrears of his salary.
On the following day Henry Lamb called upon the
plaintiff and made certein propositions to him about
purchasing half of the paper, and did not, according to
the plaintiff's statement, dispute or question his right,
under the agreement, to purchase a quarter of the paper;
but, on the contrary, admitted his right. After some
further negotiation, the plaintiff, on the 21st of Febru-
ary, offered to purchase the paper for 3,000/., to he
paid by instalments. On the 25th of February the
plaintiff was informed by the defendants that they could
not accept his offer, as they had had one more advan-
tageous. As soon as he learnt that Mr. E. T. Smith,
the lesee of Drury lane Theatre, was the intended pur-
chaser, the plaintiff, on the 27th of February, gave him
notice of the agreement of 1854, and that proceedings
would be taken to restrain the assignment or transfer
of the paper. The plaintiff, who had filed his bill on
the 3rd of March, bad on the sth obtained an inte
order restraining the defendants George, Henry, an I
Thomas Lamb, until after Saturday last, from comp e--
lag the sale, or signing or transferring the paper to tee
defendant E. T. Smith. The defendants had filed affi-
davits denying ninny of the plaintiff's statements, an•
stating that they looked upon the agreement ae a pie -
posal by the plaintiff; that it had never been signed, from
AN containing a ritipulation to engage the plaintiff for
