The Voyage of the Lady. By the author of " The
Three Paths." 2 vols. Hurst and Blackett.
There is much to attract notice in these volumes.
Sea voyages are often made the subject of the
novelist's productions, but we do not meet every
day with so touch foie° and pathos as are apptient
at every tutu of .11.1:s really admirable ro3orcl. 'toe
events ate nothing out of the ctowilloa, xxith the
exception of the story of Mrs. Alilier, but the man-
ner of the writer is s., impressive that the reader :s
irresistibly led along to the end. The character of
Mrs. Miller, who is the most striking personage
met with, is very effectively ,>.i.ven, and one
feels a strange sympathy for that interesting
being from the first moment of introduc-
tion to her, when she is resplendent in beauty,
and full of majestic dignity, till the last
sad silent moment, when all are assembled to wit-
ness an awful but sublime spectacle—the giving up
of the lifeless remains to the great waters. A
funeral at sea is always un affecting sight when
the least cared for or most insignificant is consigned
to oblivion ; but when the favourite of all onard
or the admired of all eyes is taken away, then, in-
deed, is it such a moment as none who witness the
ceremony can ever forget. The account here given
is very affecting; all divers interests seemed merged
in that of sorrow for her who was taken away by
a sudden death from such a wretched life. Only
her two husbands were prevented from witnessing
the funeral ; but each in his heart knew her inno-
cent, though rage and disappointment had practi-
cally bereft them of reason. The discovery of the
existence of her first husband was publicly made,
and painful as such a disclosure was, it was doubled
by the brutal conduct of the man who had the
want of common feeling to rush forward and insult
her. It was not to be wondered at that such an
occurrence caused a severe shock to an excitable
being like Mrs. Miller, and it was, therefore, ss ith
sorrow, bat no surprise, that her fellow-passengers
obeyed the summons to follow her to her ocean sepul-
ture, who had been their pride and ornament. " A
moment and she was gone, gone until the great sea
should give up its dead." In the appendix the
reader may well regret that most of those who
figure conspicuously in these pages met with sad
ends during the fatal events that took place during
the Indian mutiny, but so far as the story goes, all
seems to end prosperously, and to promise auspi-
ciously. Rose isa delightful character, very different
from Mrs. Miller,but she is the more loveable of the
two. Gentle and gracious, she ever seeks to form the
happiness of those around her, and she certainly
succeeds ' • while, to judge from her manner, her's
seems to be the blessed gift of those who please
themselves while only thinking of their friends—
Smooths not another's rugged path alone,
But scatters roses to adorn her own.
One of the most amusing caricatures is the far-
famed and mach-dreaded Mrs. Turnbull, whose pre-
sence was like a nightmare to all on board. With
her tracts and her treatises, her fearful denuncia-
tions of evil to come, and her pertinacious prose-
cution of her plans, she is, indeed, a dreary and a
direful personage. Captain Malcolm, the ship's
commander, is a fine specimen of a noble race—
the true English sailor. Mr. Cox, the chief mate,
is a dashing sketch, and his conduct is a curious
mixture of the precise and the humouroas. Alto-
gether, with the peculiar features met with in the
various passengers, the several styles of the
crew, and the general spirit and tone of
the work, this record of " The voyage of
the Lady" is a most readable narrative,
and those who have watched the good ship on her
outward voyage will take leave of her with regret
when she is at last arrived at her destined port in
the capital of our mighty Indian empire. Another
remarkable delineation is that of Captain Hawkins,
who does sot appear very prominently on the scene,
but who gives more promise indicative of belonging
to that heroic sort who have made famous the
name of England from the rising of the sun till the
setting of the same. Of that stamp were the men
who marched with Havelock to regain the lost and
to make sure the precarious possessions then as-
sailed by fierce and unscrupulous foes. Among the
other scenes of interest and excitement met with in
these stirring pages there are one or two descrip-
tions of rough weather; and the fearful storm that the
"Lady" luti to encounter near the end of her voyage
is most powerfully narrated. Those who desire an
entertaining, and yet an uncommon style of book,
will do well to possess themselves of this chronicle
of nautical adventures.

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING TXB
WEEK.

(From the Report of the Registrar-General.)
In great part of the week that ended on the 10th
inst. the air was exceedingly cold; it continued
cold in a less degree till near the end of last week ;
and the London returns exhibit a consequent in-
crease in the mortality. The deaths, which had
declined to 1,097,1 V3C aguiu Lu 1,563 in the week
that ended last Saturday. In the ten years 1850-59
the average number of deaths in the weeks corre-
sponding with last week, corrected for increase of
population, is 1,362. The deaths of last week were
therefore in excess of the estimated number by 201.
By comparing the results of the last two weeks
it appears that the deaths by bronchitis rose from
230 to 267 ; those by pneumonia from 114 to
140 ; those by asthma from 20 to 27. Phthisis
or pulmonary consumption, which carried off 143
persons in the previous week, was fatal last week to
171. The deaths from pulmonary diseases in the
aggregate (exclusive of phthisis) were 450, while
the corrected average for corresponding weeks did
not exceed 305.

Twenty-nine persons died last week from small-
pox, of whom nearly half were 15 years old and
upwards. Of the whole number of deaths from
this disease 13 were contributed by the districts on
the south side of the river, chiefl by the Borough-
road sub-district, and St. Peter, \Valworth. There
were 33 from scarlatina, and 10 from diphtheria.
Of 8 deaths produced by burns and scalds, 2 were
those of children whose clothes had caught fire, 2
also of children scalded by coffee in vessels acci-
dentally upset; two women died from their clothes
taking fire, and another from burns received when
in a state of intoxication. Five children were suf-
focated in bed ; and a woman was choked by a piece
of meat. A painter died from ague and lead poi-
soning. A stone-mason in Devonshire-street,
Bishopsgate, died in consequence of want, and a
man, aged 74 years, gunner, R.N., at 23, Umber-
ston-street, St. George-in-the-East, from " want of
proper and sufficient nourishment."
Last week the births of 1,016 boys and 977 girls,
in all 2,023 children, were registered in London.b'
In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1850-49
he average number was 1.724.

ROBBERY OF A LADY'S MARRIAGE
JEWELS.

At the Liverpool police7court, on Friday, Thomas
Williams, the boatswain, and Wm. Dryhurst, a
seaman, of the African mail steamer Armenian,
were charged with stealing a box containing valu-
able jewellery. The following are the facts of the
case, which were elicited after a lengthy investiga-
tion :—ln the month of December last M. Lucien
Laulhe, of 96, Rue de Clery, Paris, forwarded a
casket of jewellery to Boulogne, to the consignment
of Mr. R. E. Atkins, who, in turn, forwarded it,
via the London and North-Western Railway, to
Liverpool. Messrs. Paris and Co., of Tower-build-
ings, to whom it was consigned, shipped the casket
on board the Armenian, royal mail steamer, for
the West Coast of Africa. The parcel, which con-
tained a pair of diamond bracelets, diamond ear-
rings, gold brooch, and a gold chain, of the whole
value of £176, was consigned to Messrs. Hardison
Brothers, of Teneriffe, by whom it was finally to
be delivered to a party at one of the Canary Islands,
the jewellery being intended as a marriage gift for
a young lady. While the parcel was on board the
Armenian it was, by some unexplained oversight,
misplaced, and when the vessel arrived at Teneriffe,
as it could not be found, the ship ultimately pro-
ceeded on her voyage without having delivered the
casket. It was known to the crew that theparcel had
been missed, but nothing was seen of it until the ship
arrived at Sierra Leone. While the steamer was at
that port Williams and Dryhurst discovered the
mislaid casket in the steamee.s maga.zine, concealed
beneath some guns. They immediately secured

day afternoon the two men called at the shop of
Mr. W. Samuel, je eller, of Paradise-street, and
offered for sale a pair of handsome and valuable
gold bracelets, set with diamonds. Mr. Samuel's
suspicions were aroused, and telling them to call
on the following day, in the meantime communi-
cated with the police. Detective Cozens was sent
in search of the men, and apprehended Williams,
and from the information that prisoner gave after-
wards took Dryhurst into custody. On be-
ing told of the nature of the charge, both the
prisoners admitted the misappropriation of the
property. The prisoners were remanded for a
week, with the view of ascertaining what had be-
come of the property which had not been recovered,
the only articles found up to the present time being
the two I- acelets tendered for sale to Mr. Samuel.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

:HOUSE OF LORDS-(YESTERDAY.)

The LORD 'CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at the. usual hour.
BENGAL MILITARY FUND.
The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH moved for returns
relative to the Bengal Military Fund.

MILITIA ARTILLERY.
The Earl of SHAFTESBURY beg-ged to ask a question
of the noble earl tile Under-Secretary for War, the nature
of which he had given him notice. A very general rumour
prevailed that the whole of the militia artillery were to be dis-
embodied, and he begged to ask if such a rumour was cor-
rect ?
The Earl of RIPON said the rumour was certainly not
true to the extent the noble earl had stated. It was intended
to disembody four of the regiments, but it was not intended
to carry out the disembodiment this year. It was, how-
ever, intended to carry the disembodiment on so that, by
the time the act expired next year, the whole would be dis-
'barged .
The Earl of ELLENBOROUGII asixed whether it was
intended to reduce the streng Oa of the Royal Artillery. He
had heard such was the intention of the Government, and
he thought such a step was very unwise at the present mo-
ment.
The Duke of NEWCASTLE said there was no truth in
the report of a reduction of the strength of the Royal Ar.
tillery.
The Earl of MALMESBURY did not quite under-
stand the noble lord the Under - Secretary for
War. He did not nirk. the Government would exercise
very great prudence if they thought they could rely on the
-volunteers. However much he valued their patriotic spirit,
he did not think they could be compared for efficiency with
either the line or the militia.
Earl GREY said it would be a great mistake to reduce
the strength of the Royal Artillery.
The Earl of RIPON said that in the course of next year
the act under which the militia were embodied would ex-
.
pire, and the Government did not think it would be expe-
dient to renew it.
The subject then dropped.
NICE AND SAVOY.
The Marquis of NORMANBY said he intended that
evening to have given notice of a resolution on this sub-
ject -, but in consequence of the declaration of a noble lord
of the danger of such discussions, he shouldfor the present
abstain from carrying out his intention but on another
occasion he should most certainly do so, believing that the
view of the question he entertained was the correct one.
The Duke of NEWCASTLE said he did not intend to
enter into a discussion of the resolution the noble marquis
had given notice some day or other to move. He rose
for the purpose of complaining of a personal
imputation on his noble friend the Lord President of the
Council, whom the noble marquis said had returned an
evasive answer to a question respectfully put to him on the
affairs of Savoy.
The Marquis of NORMANBY said he did not intend to
make any personal imputation on the noble earl.

noble earl an answer on Thursday next.
Their lordships then adjourned.
