THE bALE OF GAS .ACT.

(Fron the Journal of Gas Lighting, 4-e., Nor. 22, 1859.)
The standards which the Treasury were required
to provide by the third section of Lord Redesdale's
" Act for regulating measures used in the sales of
gas," have been duly deposited in the office of the
Comptroller of the Exchequer, No. 6, Old Palace
Yard, Westminster. They comprise a weight of
62-321114. avoirdupois ; a bottle containing that
weight of distilled water at a temperature of 62
deg. Fahr., and a barometric pressure of 30 inches ;
and a King's cubic foot transferrer. The whole
have been prepared under the direction of and
verified by the Astronomer Royal, assisted by Pro-
4!ssor W. Miller, of Cambridge. The weight is -of
brass, and has made by Mr. L. Oertling, the well-
known balance-maker, of Store-street, Bedford-
square. The cubic foot bottle is a copper cylinder
with conical ends terminating in tubes, the bottom
one being closed by a cock, and the upper one be-
ing open. Ithas been manufactured by Messrs. Ladd
and Co., of the Old Jury, the hydrometer-makers to
the Excise ; and the cube feet transferrer has been
made by Messrs. Crosley and Co., of the Southwark
Bridge-road. It does not appear to be considered
necessary at present to prepare any standard multi-
ples of decimals of the cubic foot measure, but gas
companies and otheis can have the indices of their
own testing gasholders adjusted to The Exchequer
standard, or they can procure duplicates of
the cubic foot transferrer, and adjust the
indices themselves. They may, by adopt-
ing either of these courses, ascertain at
once what meters do and what do not comply with
the tests prescribed by the Act, and thus mitigate
to some extent the inconveniences to which the
further delay . in the appointment of inspectors
under the Act is now subjecting them.

BIRTHS.

The births of 168,311 children were registered in
the quarter that ended on September the 30th.
The number is 10,862 in excess of the births in the
corresponding quarter of last year. The birth-rate
in the quarter was 3.377, the average being 3.246.

INCREASE OF POPULATION.
63,972 was the excess of the number of births over
the number of deaths, and that was therefore the
natural increase of the population of England and
Wales in 92 days. On an average, 695 were added
to the population daily, and the probable daily in-
crease of the population of the United Kingdom was
1,042, which, at the ordinry rates of mortality, will
supply 347 men daily of the age of 20. The youth
of the country are growing at sueli a rate as to add
a battalion to its strength every two or three days.
A certain, number of them are transplanted, and go
to people the colonies.
34,864 emigrants sailed during the quarter, or 372
men, women, and children on an average daily, from
the ports of the United Kingdom at which there
are Government agents, of whom about 12,464 were
of English origin.

SINGULAR CHALGE OF BIGAMY.—John Johnson, a tall
portly man, a plasterer, 8, Brown-street, Grosvenor-square,
was charged before Mr. Bingham with intermarrying with
Catherine Davidson, his first wife being then and now
alive.

George Dell, of 24, Swan-street, Caledonian-road, proved
being present at the marriage of the prisoner and his first
wife, Lucy Prentice, on the stb of April, 1851, at Mary-le-
bone New Church. Had seen them living many years to-
gether as husband and wife, and had seen the first wife that
morning.

George Castle, 69 C, produced the certificate of the first
marriage.

The prisoner said after he married his first wife, who he
believed was a widow, he discovered that her husband was
living, and she had told him that he was dead. Be should
not have married her but he thought she was a single
woman.

Mr. Bingham asked the prisoner if he was prepared to
prove that, because if so, she was not his wife, and she had
committed bigany.

The prisoner said he could assure his worship it was true.
She had told him that she was 'married at Gravesend or
Milton Church.

Mr. Bingham said if that was true he was not her hus-
band, and was at liberty to marry.

The witness Dell said, on the occasion of the marriage
the prisoner told him that his first wife's husband was dead,
and that sho was a widow.

Tho first wife said the prisoner told her himself that her
husband was dead, or she would not have married him.
She had not seen her first hisband for many years when
she married the prisoner, and she did not know whether he
was alive now or not.

The prisoner said she left her husband, and not the hus-
band her.

CORN EXCHANGE.

The quantity of English wheat received fresh up to-day
was very limited, and the show of samples was small. Good
and fine qualities were disposed of at Monday's curroucy.
In other kinds the transactions were limited ; nevertheless,
previous rates were supported.
Upwards of 11,000 qrs. of foreign wheat having come
fresh to hand the supply was rather on tho increase. Mil-
lers purchased cautiously, yet holders were firm at full
quotations.
There was a slight improvement in the inquiry for float-
ing cargoes off Falmouth, but no change took place in
prices.
We had a steady though not very active, demand for most
kinds of barley at full prices.
Fine malt moved off steadily at fully previous rates, but
inferior parcels were a dull inquiry.
For oats the demand was in a sluggish state, and damp
corn was the turn in.favour of buyers.
Both beans and peas were in request, but not dearer.
About an average business was doing in flour, at full
prices.

of breaking your neck, or getting drowned, but never miss

effective men of all ranks, including the three bat-
talions of infantry, numbering 18 depots of Indian
regiments, the corps of Royal and Indian Engi-
neers, and the battalion of Royal Marines. After
the troops had marched past in slow and quick
time, they executed a variety of manoeuvres under

COLONIAL.

TEA.—The market continues inactive, and prices are
unaltered.

SUGAR.—Tnereased activity has been apparent, and the
demand for good grocery qualities has been brisk, at slightly
advanced rates. In the refined marked full prices are
obtained for dried goods.
COEFEE.—A moderate amount of business has been done,
and Plantation Ceylon commands high rates. Other de-
scriptions realise former quotations.
RICE.—The sales of this article have not been extensive,
but the few transactions entered into were at fully previous
prices.
FRUIT.—At public sale medium qualities of currants
continuo to be in good demand. Valencia raisins realised
about previous rates, and figs and almonds were in fair re-
quest at former values.
SALTPETRE.—There is a good demand, and full prices
are realised for all descriptions.
TALLOW.—The market is rather flat, and P.Y.C. is now
quoted 58s 6d per cwt. on the spot, and 58s 3d to 58s 6d for
all the year.
GREEN FRUlT.—Demand good, and a brisk trade is ex-
pected for all kinds. The sale of oranges keeps pace with
arrivals ; some parcels of St. Michaels, Fayal, and Lisbon,
sold by Keeling and Hunt at public sale, went at a reduc-
tion in price. Lemons sustain their value, owing to want
of arrivals. Chestnuts 5s per barrel lower, in consequence
of largo importations. Other descriptions of nuts are un-
altered.

TBE P UB LI CI HEALTH.

(From the Quarterly .Return of the Registrar-General.)
This return comprises the births and deaths re-
gistered by 2,197 registrars in all the districts of
England during the summer quarter that ended on
September 30th, 1859, and the marriages in 13,377
cburches'or chapels, about 4,158 registered places
of worship unconnected with the Established
Church, and 631 Superintendent-Registrars' offices,
in the quarter unit ended on June 30th, 1859.
The returns present a favourable view of the state
of the country. The marriages increased as they do
when the prospect of life among the working classes
is cheering. Thmands of children in execs;; of the
average were born, the rate of mortality diminished,
and the population increased at an unusual rate.

As the diminution in the rate of mortality took
place in the towns, it may be fairly ascribed to the
prosperous state of trade, to the supply of better
water, the abolition of cesspools, the purification of
the air, and the various sanitary works which many
of them have carried out.

AMERICA.

(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)
SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY MORNING.
The Arago steamer, Captain Lines, has arrived
at Cowes with New York mails of the 12th inst.

She brings 112,000 doll, for England and 700,000
dols. for France.

Her dates from Vera Cruz are to the Bth.

The expedition of the Liberals under Meija
against Tehuacan, Ouzaba, and Cordova had proved
lost 600 men ; 1,000 muskets and 12 cannon were
, 'without firing a gun. Meija
a disastrous failure
captured by General Ninon, without the loss of
a single soldier. Marquirja undertook to escort
2,800,000 dols. to Topic, but appropriated 600,000
dols. of them to himself, detained the balance at
Guano Juato, and issued a pronunciamento in favour
of Santa Anna.

The British and French Ministers had protested
against Marquirja's conduct.
A despatch of the 11th, from Washington, says
that the Government had received important de.
spatches from the English Government relative to
the San Juan difficulty, expressing an'earnest de-
sire to settle the question;
the details proposed had
not then been made known, but it was believed
that there was no longer any danger of any serious
difficulty between the two countries.
Exchange at New York, on the 11th, was good
at 110 to 1101 on London.
There was a fair demand for railway shares on
the Stock Exchange, and better prices by 9 to
per cent. paid, though the market closed dull.
State stocks steady.
Movements in flour extensive, and prices par-
tially advanced. Good inquiry for cotton at full
quotations.

SIR joIIN FoanEs.—This eminent 'author and
pbyLician, having lately suffered from severe illness, has
intimated hi, intention of retiring from active life. On the
30th instant the furniture of the house in Old Burlington-
stre:t is to be sold by auction. Sir John has generously
presented his very valuable medical library, numbering
about 3,000 volumes, to the Marischal College, Aberdeen,
where he received his early education. He graduated in
medicine at Edinburgh in 1817.

Cure. of Strictures of tile Urethra.

" This nark is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, through a long professional life,
to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his
great discriminative rower in the diagnosis of the various
kinds of stricture, and of •i.he scientiflc.principles upon which
their management is founded. By his systematic mann gement
an immense mitigation of •pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject
to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec. Ist, 1858.

Mr. Eicke—Have you ever received any money
from Sir Joseph Bailey ?
Insolvent—Yes •he appears in my • Scotch
schedule as a creditor for £l,lOO, which he lent

Mr. Eike—On what security ?
Insolvent—My own promissory note.
Mr. Eicke—lfave you any objection to state for
what service that was lent ?
Insolvent—The money was lent to me at five per
cent. interest.
Mr. Eieke—Does not that appear in your banker's
book ?

Insolvent—l did not enter every penny I received
into that book.

Mr. Eicke--Then you say Cook never gave you
any money ?
Insolvent—No. Cook was a money lender, and
my necessities obliged me to apply to several of
that class. On one occasion I called on Cook, and
he told me had a son who had just returned from
India, havinr, behaved with great gallantry at
Lucknow ; and he wondered if it was possible to
bring his conduct before the Commander-in-Chief.
His Royal Highness was in the habit of granting
mo interviews, and I took advantage one day to
bring the merits of this young man and the 32d
Regiment before him. He was only 22 years of
age, hardly within the age according to the regu-
lations ; but when I saw his Royal Highness again
he said, " I am going to make your friend Cook a
captain, with two others of the same regiment." I,
however, never received a penny for it.
Mr. Eieke—Did you get Mrs. Wardroper to
write to any official parties ?
Insolvent—l think I did get her to write on one
occasion, but .I forget now for whom it was.
His Honour—To write to whom ?
Insolvent—To the Commander-in-Chief. I knew
that if any person chose to apply to his Royal
Highness for a commission he was never refused if
the applicant stated any ground for it.
Mr. Eicke—What did Mrs. Wardroper know
about the grounds in this case?
Insolvent—Simply as I told her. I felt diffident
in applying myself having done so so often before.
His Honour—Was Mrs. Wardroper known to
the Commander-in:Chief?"

In solven t—No, sir.
The insolvent further stated that he had been in
the receipt of £220 as the military editor of the
United Service Gazette for years, besides which his
lectures brought him as much as £3OO a-year ; an[l
he also realised a considerable sum by taking mili-
tary pupils, and for contributions to magazines.
He also now attended Dr. Eminerton's College as
a military preceptor.
Ultimately the case was again adjourned till
the next court day, the bail of the insolvent being
enlarged. •
