CORONER'S INQUESTS.—CHILD MURDER.__yegte•
day morning Mr. M. Wakley, the deputy coroner, held tvir
inquests at the Fountain public-house, King-street, Selni„
dials, on the bodies of two male infants who are supposean
have besu murdered. The first case was on the body of to!
male child of Julia Maloney,who was charged at Bow-street
Police-court, on Tuesday, for concealing the birth. Tlite
body was found in the privy of Mr. Donovan's house, u
Queen-street, at which place Maloney had been a servant.
She denied all knowledge of the child when at the police,
court, and she was ordered to be examined by a midwife, and
it was then found that she had recently been delivered of sn
infant. Mr. Bennett, surgeon at the workhouse of St. Giles%
said he was of Opinion that the child had been born some
eight or nine days. He had made the examination, and be-
lieved that the child had breathed. The viscera was in tbaid
state that if the child had been properly attended to it won
have lived. He was of opinion that the child had been bell
alive, but he could not swear positively to that fact. Tat
witness added that the woman had made a confession tP;
the child belonged to her, and that it had been in the tiretf;
closet some days. The jury, in the absence of any Pc'sitina
evidence, returned an open verdict, that the child vras
in a privy, but whether born alive or not there is no ebvia
dence. The second case was on the body of a male enett
found in a privy in a court in Church-lane. Mr. Penrod
said a portion of the head was knocked in, and he attrib"to
death to violence. The jury returned a similar verdict to
second case.

sh it, December 31, liso. earnest AP L'E A L to public benevolence
is resnectrully sub nittel by a few trie•rls and neighbours on behalf
of the WIDOW of the lots Rev. GEORGE EDWARD 11012
who fora period of l 4 ye vs, in an exe•nplary manner, perforated
the ilutie; of his church. ant was distinguished by his benevolence
and charity in the wile district under his charg-. The a.it of
atrocity by which tha Rev. Mr. Holiest was suddenly cut off is
universally known, but those only who are acquainted with his posi-
tion are aware that he never had the metris of making a provisisu
for his widow. Under such circumstances, it is hoped that the case
of Mrs. Holloq will comment itself to the generous consideration
of those, who are blessed with the means of alleviating, so far as
human sympathy and assistance can alleviate, the distress of a
family so fearfully bereft of its natural supporter. The income of
Mrs. Holiest Ooes not exceed 431. per annum, and subscriptions are
earnestly solicited in aid of these Ma lequate means. Suhscriptions
will be thankfully received be the following hankers :—Messrs.

HEALTH OF LONDON DURLVG THE WEEK
(From the Weekly Return of the Registrar General.)
In the week ending la ,t Satprdly 1,023 deaths
were registered in the districts or the metropolis. In
the corresponding weeks of the ien years (1841-50),
the average w;s 1,102 ; compared with which the
present return exhibits a favourable result. And if
it could be safely assumed, notwithstanding the
effects of various epidemics, that the population has
increased yearly at the rat,. or 1 55 per cent. (the
annual rate of increase observed in L radon between
the two censuses of 1831 and 1841) and the above
average were proportionally augmented, the com-
parison would show the public health of the week in
a still more satisfactory point of View. But it will be
found on examination that, in five out of the ten cor-
responding weeks, the returns differ little from that
of last week, or fall much below, it, whilst an exces-
sive mortality presses on other pacrts of the series, the
deaths rising to 1,450, at one period, when influenza
was on the wane, at another, whe4 cholera had broken
out in Drouet's institution, and thus swelling the ac-
count above what an average ,state of health would
produce.
The last week exhibits a marked improvement on
the first week of the Yeal;""Cliefry -in ..the decline of
fever and the epidemics to Which children are subject,
but also in the diminished effects of diseases of the
respiratory organs. In the previous week the deaths
from epidemics in the aggregate were 239, in the last
they were 173 ; and to take particular maladies in
this class, there were in the former week, from small-
pox, measles, scarlatina, and hoopingcough, 28, 29, 14,
and 58, respectively ; in the last week there were 16,
21, 16, 43 • scarlatina alone, which, however, is now
less fatal than usual, not showing i decrease. Typhus
has declined in the two weeks fr m 48 to 35 ; erysi-
pelas from 14 to 2. Amongst co plaints which tas-
sume an epidemic character in uenza alone shows
any tendency to increase; it h carried off nine
persons in the week, though it usually reaches less
than half that number. In coppexion with three
cases of typhus, which proved (add in three different
parts of the metropolis, the ,' registrars call at-
tention in their notes to the circumstances
in which these events occurred—here " a filthy
and overcrowded court," which had been repeatedly
complained of as the nursery of disease ; at another
place, " miserable huts," which had been constructed
without regard to comfort or decency; and in the
third case, a small back room is described, where six
persons had been sleeping, and into which air could
not penetrate either by means of the chimney or other
channel.

Capital-500,0001.
(Incorporated under 7 and 8 Vict., cap. 110.)
The leading principles of this Office are —Moderate and equitable
Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits.
The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion
Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so
great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess
than calculation.

It has been found by exp6rience, that the total annual lmses of the
different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the
amount of annual Premiums received by each.
_ . - . _

It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers,
that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the
true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu-
rance Company is established.
The true rate of Premium fer Fire Insarance can only be ap-
proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto
been sufficiently acted r n, or systematically applied.
Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to
the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as
security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer
is largely interested in this Question, and will consult his interest by
supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica-
tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk.
The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own
experience, fl'om time to tirr e, adopt such rates of Premium as the
nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange-
ments as regards tariffs with other offices.
With this view an annual investiga.ion will be made into each
class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett
excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have
been in force for three years. . _

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Vice-Admiral Sir George Seymour, C. 8., K.C.H.,
formally hoists his fl on board the umberland, 70,
his fig-,ship at Cha! ham, and strikes it again and
proceeds on leave until the ship is ready for sea.
The. Rev. Fortescue Wells, B.A. (1845), has been
appointed chaplain to the Cumberland, 70, flag-ship of
Sir George Seymour, for the West Indies,
Naval Instructor—William Silmon (184 G), has
been appointed to the Cumberland.
E Acriois, 90.—The report that the Albion, 90,
Capt. Hope Johnstone, had been seen dismasted in the
Bay of Biscay, has been proved to he unfounded by the
intelligence that a line-of-battle ship had passed
through the Straits of Gibraltar to the eastward on
the 3'l inst. There is no doubt that this line-of battle
ship was the Albion, for no other two-decker is en
7oate to the eastward in that part of the station ; and
as westated before, the Albion was ordered to proceed
direct to Malta, without touching at Lisbon or Gib-
raltar.—Herald.

Lieut. De Horsey is raising men for the Cumber•
land at Portsmouth, and Lieut. Kynaston is raising
men for that ship at Devonport.
Indefatigable, 50, Captain Smart, K.H., now that
her men from the West Indies have rejoined, is only
twenty men and boys short of her full complement.
She is out of the hands of the dockyard, and is
ordered to he paid wages previously to going to sea.
Impregnable, 78, Captain Sir Thomas Maitland,
C. 8., flag-ship of the Port-Admiral at Devonport,
will be paid wages this day.
Avon, steam-tender, Second Master Commander
Veitch, arrived at Devonport, on Tuesday morning,
from Portsmouth, and, after being supplied with coals,
was to leave—with Lieut. Robertson, of the Fisgstrd,
hnd party, who navigated the Rosamond from Wool-
wich—so soon as the wegher moderated.
Crane, packet, Lieut. Parsons, will be paid off at
Devonport to-morrow.

DEVONPORT, TUESDAY.--The weather is still very
boisterous—wind from the SW. As soon as it
moderates, Mr. Henderson, with a party under his
command, will proceed to Falmouth in the Virago,
steam sloop, for the purpose of towing the Astrea,
store-ship, and Aurora, coal depot, to this port, the
establishment at Falmouth having been broken up.
DOCKYARD.—The candidates for apprentices in
this dockyard (above seventy in number) have been
examined during the past week by the schoolmaster,
and their respective abilities will be ascertained by
the proper officers previous to being transmitted to
their Lordships.
WOOLWICH, JAN. 15.—The Resistance, 10, troop-
ship, Master Commander Bradshaw, arrived at
Gravesend to-day with three companies of the Royal
Artillery on board—Captain Gambier's Bth battalion,
from Malta, Captain Riddell's Company, 6th bat-
talion, from Corfu, and Captain Dunlop's Company,
7th battalion from Gibraltar. The Monkey steam-
vessel went down the river in the afternoon to tow
the Resistance up to Woolwich to-morrow morning,
after putting her powder on shore at Purfleet.
The Apollo troop-ship, Commander James Raw-
storne, was reported by Lieutenant Thomas D.
Williams, of that vessel, as being in the river, with

Fatal cases arising from affections of the respiratory
organs (exclusive of hoopingcough and phthisis) are
diminished from 321 in the former week, to 275 in
the last; and amongst these, laryngitis from 11 to 4,
bronchitis from 152 to 136, pneumonia from 101 to
96, and asthma from 37 to 27. In the same period
phthisis exhibits a decrease from 147 to 123.
On the 7th of January, in St..Giles'-in-the-Fields,
at the Union Workhouse, a woman, who had been a
servant, died, as stated in the medical certificate, from
"old age and decay," after Navink reached the extra-
ordinary age of 105 years. Mr.-Fftulkner, the Regis-
trar, adds, that " this woman retained full possession
of all her faculties till within a fortnight of her death."
It is not stated, as is desirable in such cases, whether
so singular a fact rests on the authority of a parish
register or other sufficient evidenci.

The FOURTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie-

Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the
rep-q.t, which is too lengthy for publication :
During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in Englanl.
and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 2801.—making
together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected
mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how
severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last
year.

THE ARMY.
The following circular has been issued:—
(Circular No. 1,084.)

" War-office, Jan. 13.
" Sir,—lt having appeared to me that through the in-
creased opportunities of education which have been lately
affirded to the army, 'a ready means is offered of ob!ain-
in!g soldiers from the ranks capable of filling the situa-
tions of clerks in the several military offices on foreign
stations, while at the same time a fair reward would be
,iecurel to the w,ll-conducted and intelligent soldier, I
have the honour to acquaint you, that I have obtained
the concurrence of the Commander-in-Chief, and the
Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury, in the
9roipectiv4 introduction of such a measure; and I have
accorlingly to request that on the occurrence of a
vacancy among the clerks in the several military offices
within your command, you will apply to the command-
ing officer of any regiment on the station, to recommend
to you a steady and intelligent soldier capable of filling
the same, after a pLriod of probation not exceeding three
months. This soldier, if confirmed as fit for the situa-
tion, shall be removed from his regiment, and be attested
for general service, in order that while holding his office
ho shall continue to be a soldier in the army, and liable
if removed from his appointment for irregularity or in-
capacity to be ordered to military duty with any regi-
ment then on the station.

"Any man so confirmed in his appointment will have
the rank and pay of sergeant, with clothing, rations,
lodging and fuel, and light, or with money allowances in
lieu thereof; and will have the chance of rising in some
of the offices, by succession, to the senior clerkship, in
which event be will be entitled to the rank, pay, and al-
lowances of sergeant-major.
" The service, as clerk, of any soldier confirmed in the
appointment will be allowed to reckon towards pension
as non-commissioned officer.
" You will be pleased to report to me any•snob
pointment which may be hereafter confirmed by you..

since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001.,
but 1,1831. I Is. 10d. only was advanced.

The Directors were also highly gratified to report that 'within the
last four months they hag considerably extended their husinen on
the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur
de PEtang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for
his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters,
who. under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris,
the Cardinal Archhish,p of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisis, Eveque
de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con•
siderab'e amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An-
nuities both Immediate and Deferred.
After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning
thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice-
Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish-
ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results
and future prospects.

This work 'contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un-
fortunately happens that the unhappy rictim of excessive indul-
gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con-
sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified physi-
cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently but erro-
neously entertained that these complaints are beyond' ne reach of
art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking 'or as, /stance where
alone it can be procured. Dr. LA'MEICT has tal,an the highest
medical honours, as his 4iplornas testify, and the grriat extent of his
practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experi-
ence, which has reference 'boost solely to the treatment of these
diseases.

DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY MORNING.-Eight proper-
ties, none of which presented any remarkable feature,
either as regarded territorial extent or net value of the
rental, were set down in the list of sales for yester-
day. Of these the sales of three estates were altoge-
ther adjourned for want of competition, and a similar
fate befel several of the lots of the other properties,
which found partial purchasers only. Anything,
however, really worth the attention of the speculator
was readily bought up at, at least, the fair average rate
of purchase under this court. The Cork estates of
Mr. Garret Standish Barry were offered in twelve
lots, only two of which changed hands, the amount
produced being 4,250/. A small estate in the county
of Tyrone, the property of the Hon. Andrew Godfrey
Stuart, yielding an annual profit rental of 2721. 15s.
4d., was one of the very few desirable investments
offered during the day, and was warmly com-
peted for, a gentleman named Gunning being finally
declared the purchaser at the high figure of 4,5701.
The estate of the Messrs. Knox, in the county of
Mayo, containing 4,693 acres, yielding a rental of
about 3501. a year, subject to an annuity of 3001. per
annum, payable to the petitioner in the cause', " Bar-
bara Knox White," was sold in five lots for 1,1811.
Another attempt was made to sell the estates of Mr.
Samuel Maunsell, in the counties of Limerick and
Kilkenny, but with no better success than attended
the former experiment. With the exception of some
house property in the city of Kilkenny, which realised
about 250/., the other portions of the property found
little or no favour, and the sale of the several lots
stood adjourned for a third trial. The estate of Mr.
Thomas Gowan (owner and petitioner), consisting of
304 acres of land in the county of Wexford, produc-
ing a profit rental of 2001. per annum, sold for
1,4001. This wound up the proceedings of a rather
dull day.

The Court of Queen's Bench gave judgment yes-
terday in the celebrated case of " Wauchob v. Rey-
nolds," which first came before their Lordships in
Michaelmas term, 1849. Its last form was in the
nature of a demurrer take❑ to the validity of the re-
turn filed by the late Corporation, alleging, in answer
to the mandamus to proceed to the election of a Lord
Mayor i❑ the place of Mr. Reynolds, that the office
was full. The judges, with the exception of Mr.
Justice Perrin, decided that the return was no answer
to the writ, and allowed the demurrer, with costs.
It was intimated at the close of the proceedings that
the case is to he brought before a superior tribunal,
so that, after 18 months' litigation, the whole ques-
tion, thanks to the "glorious uncertainty," remains
virtually undecided.

THE LATE FATAL CATASTROPHE AT BELFAST.

An inquest was held on Saturday on the remains of
the 12 unfortunate men who were crushed to death
by the falling of the new mill at Beer's-bridge, Bel-
fast. Toe evidence taken goes to show that the death
of so many human beings was caused by the insuffi-
ciency of the materials of which the building was
composed. After the examination of several wit-
nesses the inquiry was adjourned till the Thursday.
A warrant fur the apprehension of Mr. Magee, the
contractor, wes then issued by the coroner, and imme-
diately executed. Mr. Magee was removed to the
County Giol, the Governor receiving instructions, at
the same time, not to place him on the prison allow-
ance, or upon prison discipline, the object of the war-
rant being merely to secure his appearance. Bail, to
any amount, was offered, but refused.

,MITIIFIELD-MARKET.

(From the Morning Herald.)
We have observed, in various companies, and on
many occasions, cf late, that the plan of the Corpo-
ration of London for establishing a new Smithfield-
market is almost entirely unknown. It will be our
duty, therefore, es far as we are able, to make it
known ; and though this cannot be done in a few
minutes, or by a few lines, we do not despair of
causing it to be thoroughly understood by a large pro-
portion of the higher and middle classes, in the course
of an article or two.
The plan of the Corporation, then, for effecting
which a Bill is now actually prepare'd and ready for
Parliament, must he thus described :-
1. It is not a Bill for perpetuating the present
Smithfield- market.
2. It is not a Bill for abolishing, and removing to
a distance, the present Smithfield-market. But
3. It is a Bill fur establishing a new Smithfield•
market
And this is precisely what the necessities of the
case point out as the thing which ought to he done.
Nobody defends the market as it now stands. Nobody
that is rational (except the Times and Punch claim to
be so considered) would incur the desperate and
needless risk of carrying, or attempting to carry, the
market three or four miles away from London. What
remains, then, but to try to make the present market
what it ought to be, or rather, to construct a new-
marhet near the present site, but freed from all the
evils of Smithfield as it now exists.
Adopting these common-sense views of the matter,
and acting with its usual vigour, the Corporation has
prepared ind lodged a Bill, the leading features of
which may be thus described :
The new market, proposed to be established, is to
be placed between the present Smithfield-market and
the new street now making, called Victoria-street*
which is to lead from Holborn-bridge to Clerkenwell-
green. Of the present site, a small portion only, at
the top of West-street, will be included. The new
site will be obtained by taking down part of King-
street, part of West-street, and the courts and alleys
adjoining. It will be, of course, far larger than the
site of the present market. It will possess, like the
present market, the advantage of being out of the
way, _ And . interfering in no degree—with-Mae great
thoroughfares, or_ the other business -of the metro-
polis.
It will be gained by the removal of property and
premises of a bad and worthless kind—" knackers'
yards," and places of that description.
It will also possess the great advantage of being
placed on the side of a hill, so as to facilitate to the
utmost degree a thorough and rapid drainage.
Connected with this it should be stated that, ac-
cording to the new plan ftlr the general drainage of
London, the main sewer for conveying all the soil of
the metropolis into the marshes of Essex will pass by
Holborn-bridge, within 100 yards of the proposed
new market, thus affording means for the effectual
drainage of the whole establishment, to the full extent
of the utmost wishes that could be formed.
That portion of the market which immediately ad-
joins Victoria-street will be allotted to the purposes
of a meat market ; thus superseding entirely the pre-
sent Newgate-market. In this manner the proximity
of the two markets—the importance of which is stated
by all the witnesses to be very great—will be pre-
served, while the live cattle, instead of proving any
annoyance to the passengers in Victoria-street, will
be kept entirely out of sight.
Still the proximity to Victoria-street itself will be
an important feature in the case. This street, when
completed, as it will now be by the Corporation, will
prove one of the most important thoroughfares in the
whole metropolis; presenting one wide open road
leading from Kent and Surrey, over Blackfriarti-
bridge, crossing Fleet-street and Holborn, and then
proceeding straight up to the Great Northern Rail-
way, and opening into the New-road, within a
quarter of a mile of the terminus of the London
and North-Western Railway.
It will be evident, at a glance, to anyone acquainted
with the metropolis, that it would he quite impossible
to select any other spot possessing similar advantages.
The southern droves entering London by Blackfriars-
hridge would reach the market in a little more than
a qt.arter of a mile ; the northern would approach by
the northern part of Victoria-street, through Clerken-
well, without touching either of the great east and
west thoroughfares, Fleet-street or Holborn. Add
to all this, that the Corporation would not dream of
opposing a new police regulation, limiting all cattle-
driving in the metropolis within certain hours, ending
at nine or ten o'clock in the morning, and we are at a
loss to know what further &mead any honest oppo-
nent of the present Smithfield-market system can
have to make on the Corporation.
Such is the general outline of the scheme about to
be offered to Parliament. It embraces all the follow-
ing advantages :-
1. A central situation : a point dwelt upon by all
the witnesses as of the very first importance.
2. The seclusion of the market from all the other
bu-inesses of London.
3. The most complete and sufficient access from
all the great thoroughfares and approaches of the
metropolis.
4. The most complete and thorough system of
drainage, by which all the filth of the market will
hi carried away, hour by hour, as fast as it is
created.
This plan, complete in all its parts, the Corporation
is prepared to carry at once into effect. What other
offer is before the public ? Let us not be told of
possible sites at Holloway, Hornsey, or Highgate—
sites which will doubtless be sold by their present
owners, if a larger sum be offered than they can
realize elsewhere. The question will still remain—.
who is to form the new market ? The Corporation
has made the best offer in its power, and no other
proposal can it tender. Private speculators will surely
look at the fate of the new market at Islington, and
tremble. Practically, then, there seems to be bat
little choice, but either to maintain Smithfield-
market in its present condition, or else to accept
the offer which the Corporation of London is now
making to the public—an offer which unquestion-
ably includes all that any reasonable man can ask or
desire.

FALLACIES OF THE GENTLEMEN.
(From Funds.)
By a Lady who unfortunately knows them only too

well.)

That women are only born to be their slaves.
That dinner is to be ready for them the very mi-
nute they come into the house.
Tnat a lady's bonnet can be put on as quickly as
a gentleman's hat.
That we can dress in a minute; and that ringing
the bell violently has the effect of making us dress
one bit the quicker.
That they can do everything so much better
than we can, from nursing the baby down to poking
the fire. _ _

That they are " the Lords of the Creation "
(pretty lords, indeed !)
That nothing can be too good for them; for I am
sure if you were to put a hot joint before them every
day that still they would be dissatisfied, and would be
grumbling that you never gave them cold meat.
That they know our age so much better than we
do ourselves. (It's so very likely !)
That they may invite whom and as many as they
please, but it we only invite our mamma to come
and stop with us, or just ask a dear unmarried sister
or two to atop with us fur a month, that there's to
be no peace for us, so long as they remain in the
house.

That music can be ltarnt without practising, and
that it is necessary for theta to rush out and to slam
the door violently the very moment we begin to open
our voices, or to run over the last new Polka.
That sleeping after dinner promotes conversation.
That they know what dress and bonnet becomes us
so much better than we do.

That the house never requires cleaning, or the

that anything has a right to wear out, or to be spoilt,
