the manner in which her wishes were carried out
in this particular, as well as with all the other
arrangements of the Dublin and Wicklow Com-
pany. Lord Carlisle showed much agility in
escaping from the platform the moment the train
had arrived, and hurried off to the Viceregal
Lodge, to be in readiness to receive his royal mis-
tress. A guard of honour occupied the front of
the station in Westland-row, and an escort o
Dragoons surrounded the royal carriages. Outside
qf them, a sovereign's best body-guard, a numerous
and loyal people, filled the streets, crowded all
the windows, crested the housetops, and convul-
sively hugged the chimneys. There was more
cheering here, especially when the royal carriage
was thrown open, and the people could see its
illustrious occupants. Her Majesty bowed fre-
quently, and drove off at a moderate pace to the
Viceregal Lodge, where it was understood she
would devote the remainder of the day to rest and
refreshment, after her rather tedious and not over-
pleasant voyage. It has blown a gale of wind here
all the morning, with driving rain, but it looks now
as if we were going to have a spell of." Queen's
weather." The engine was driven by Mr. Samuel
Wilfred Haughton, nephew to the chairman of the
Great Southern and Western Railway, and engineer-
in-chief to the Dublin, Wexford, and Wexford line.
DUBLIN, FRIDAY NIGHT.

Great crowds occupied all the principal thorough-
fares for the greater part of the day in expectation
of seeing and welcoming the Queen. They remained
in the streets until an advanced hour, and some of
them were not disappointed, for about half-past five
her Majesty left the Viceregal Lodge, accompanied
by the Princess Alice, the Prince Cunsort, the Lord-
Lieutenant, and Lady Churchill, and drove through
the principal streets of the city, without, however,
stopping at any place, or visiting any of the public
buildings, This was the cause of some disappoint-
ment, as the crowds who promenaded the city were
anxious to greet her Majesty.
DUBLIN, SATURDAY MORNING.
The Queen and Royal party, together with the
distinguished personages now at the Viceregal and
Secretary's Lodges, will leave by a special train, at
ten o'clock this morning, for the Curragh, to be pre-
sent at a grand military review. It is said there
will be 20,000 troops on the ground, and no doubt
double that number of civilians will be present.
London, England, 1861-08-24

the gaze of Englishmen turned to the further-
most extremity of our stupendous possessions
in North America—attracted thither as it was,
first of all by the discovery of gold fields
upon the banks of Frazer River. Secondly,
by the transference of the governing power
yonder from the Hudson's Bay Company to the
Crown—from which, as a matter of course, it had
originally emanated, or rather, perhaps, it should
be said more correctly, by which it had been origi-
nally delegated, for a stipulated period, to the re-
presentatives of that great trading association ! I
Finally, the attention of England was attracted to
that hitherto almost overlooked portion of her vast
dominions by reason of the comprehensive scale
upon which that new and noble colony of British
\Columbia was organised throughout, from its Go-
vernor downwards to the least responsible of his
I subordinates. _

Zeal,

If any yet more striking instance were required
of the unexpected manner in which the interest of
the mother country in any one of her remote pos-
sessions is sometimes awakened with unusual inter'•
sity—it would be sufficient to recall to mind the
events which have latterly caused us all
to turn with a profounder solicitude than
was ever before awakened in that direction—
towards the whole majestic and gigantic sweep of
our Empire in Hindostan. That solicitude was first
of all aroused by a terrible and, as it threatened at
first to be, a wholly disastrous catastrophe—the
outbreak of the Sepoy Rebellion in Bengal. From
that evil, however, good came forth eventually.
The necessity was at length recognised of putting an
end to the monstrous anomaly of the double Govern-
ment. The result has been, as we know—the
transference there also as in that other instance
(already mentioned) witnessed upon the opposite
shores of the Pacific, the direct transference of the
governing power to the Crown from the possession
of that effete and incompetent representative (in this
wise) of the Crown, a Great Trading Association !
The Honourable the East India Company has, in
consequence, ceased to hold its place among the
rulers of the earth—as absolutely as the Hudson's
Bay Company has ceased to govern that some-
time portion of their hunting ground now known
as the colony of British Columbia. Her MA-
JESTY'S sceptre is wielded thenceforth directly, and
no longer indirectly, over British Columbia and
over Hindostan. The interest with which those
remote portions of her dominion are regarded by
England from that time by necessity becomes pro-
portionately increased and intensified. Our com-
mercial relations with , this colony and with that,
as we have before remarked, all the while growing
with our growth and strengthening with our
strength, uninterruptedly. The tide of emigration
sweeping steadily from our shores, meanwhile, with
more or less advance in volume, and it might even
be said in velocity, or at any rate in periodical fre-
quency—chiefly westwards and southwards.
London, England, 1861-08-24

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.

" Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent
practical contributions to German medical literature. This
is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself
to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the
last, if he shall detect any other oqually flagrant evil which it
may be in his power to correct.."—London Medical Gazette.
44 The editor 'his ciarferred a great boon on the sufferers
from this distressing malady by translating this little book,
and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified
adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they
know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own
purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the
various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular.

" We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli-
minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for
any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ;
but the moderate price at which the `brochure' is sold, places
it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—
Neve, too Late.—Now that great improvements are an-
nually taking place in the science of medicine, every afflic-
tien may meet with alleviation if not cure. No sufferer
should despair till the renowned medicaments of Professor
Holloway have been tried. Few cases of external or inter-
nal disease can resist their soothing, purifying, and lvaling
virtues. They are universally applicable, they agree with
every age, sex, climate, and constitution. Both ointment
and pills contain the most potent, yet perfectly harmless,
balsams, most carefully extracted from the purest drugs.
Whatever the nature, duration, lenity, or severity of the
malady, the firmest reliance may be placed on the curative
action of these invaluable preparations, used in accordance
with their accompanying printed instructions,

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—Sarah Smith, a married woman,
of No. 7, Duff's-fields, Poplar, was brought before Mr.
Selfe, charged with attempting to commit suicide.
A large number of persons of both sexes have been
brought to this court at various times, for many years past,
charged with attempting self-destruction, and the custom
has been almost invariably to remand offenders for a week, to
receive spiritual admonition and consolation from the Rev.
Mr. Jephson, the excellent chaplain of the House of Deten-
tion, and upon their being brought up a second time, to dis-
charge them with some good advioe. This course of pro-
ceeding has not, and probably never will, stay the progress of
a crime which the magistrates have so often declared is alike
forbidden by divine and human laws. A few days since a
boy named Thomas Buckley saw the prisoner at the side
of the " Cut," a branch of the River Lea at Bromley. She
threw herself into the water, and the boy called out for
help. A man threw a leather strap towards the
prisoner, retaining hold of one end of it him-
self. It did not reach her, and another man
a blacksmith, jumped into the stream and brought her out,
apparently lifeless, and it was some time before she was
resuscitated.

Inspector Beare, of the K division, said the prisoner had
been in the workhouse under medical treatment for
several days, and she was broight from there this
morning to answer for her conduct and give some
account of herself. He heard that the prisoner was sepa-
rated from her husband, and was 30 years of age. She
would have been drowned if a man had not sprung into the
water with his clothes on and saved her.
The prisoner said she did not know whether she fell in
the water or threw herself in. She was in a good deal of
trouble and very ill.
The prisoner was remanded to the Clerkenwell House of
Detention fora week,

TEE PUBLIC EEALT.H.

(From the Quarterly Return of the Registrar• General.)
This return comprises the births and deaths regis-
tered by 2,199 registrars in all the districts of Eng-
land during the summer quarter that ended Sept. 30,
1861; and the marriages in 12,509 churches or
chapels, about 4,488 registered places of worship
unconnected with the Established Church, and 635
superintendent registrars' offices, in the quarter
that ended June 30, 1861.
Marriages were comparatively few in the first
quarter of this year ; they became more numerous
in the second quarter, which, indeed, happens in-
variably in England; but still they did not quite
attain the average for the June quarter; the children
born in the September quarter decidedly exceeded
the number which the average birth-rate for the
same period would have produced; while the rate
of mortality in the same three months, though it
differed little from, was not so high as the average
rate for that season, which is the healthiest of the
year. This statement exhibits the most prominent
features of the return.

The population of England, from whose daily
history the above results are evolved, may be stated
to have been last April 20,062,612. This number
is subject to some modification, which may be neces-
sary after further revision of the facts. The rate of
increase in the last decennium was 12 per cent.

MARRIAGES.

The number of persons married in the spring
quarter was 83,932. The marriage rate was
168 to 10,000 of the population, which is less
by 2 than the average, and less by 8 than the
annual number married in the same quarter of
last year, when, as is shown by the Returns of the
Poor Law Board, the labouring class were in a more
thriving condition. By surveying the 11 great
divisions of England, as these are constituted in the
tables, and with reference to their several contribu-
tions to the marriage-list, this result will be dis-
covered—that there was a decrease of marriages
last spring as compared with the same period of
1860 in all of these divisions except two. The
south-eastern counties, especially Surrey, main-
tained a fair proportion ; and in the northern coun-
ties there was a very manifest increase. Durham,
Sunderland, Gateshead, Tynemouth, and Carlisle
were in a prosperous condition, if, as may be pre-
sumed, a willingness in the unmarried to form the
marriage relation, and a confidence in their ability,
to undertake its responsibilities, be the test of pros-
perity in England.

POLICE .INT_ELLIGENCE.—( This Day.)

BO W-STREET.

ROBBING A JEWELLER'S SllOP.—Henry Drywoood was
placed at the bar charged with stealing a quantity of gold

chains.

From the evidence of the prosecutor, a j eweller and
watchmaker in the Strand, it appeared that the prisoner
had been observed lurking about in front of the shop win-
dew for some time, and from certain suspicious movements
it was thought his object was robbery. After a short tim e
he pushed his hand through the pane of glass in the shop
window and seized hold of a large bunch of gold chains.
Fortunately for the prosecutor the hole made in the window
was not large, as after the prisoner had grasped the articles
he was unable to withdraw his hand from the shop window.
The prosecutor, immediately the glass was broken, ran into
the street and seized hold of the fellow, and held him until
a police-constable came up, when he was given into cus-
tody. As the constable was taking him to the station-
house, he resisted very much, and it was not until the aid
of another constable had been procured that he could be
lodged in the station-house. Both constables were kicked
and struck by ttie prisoner.

The magistrate asked the prisoner what he had to say in
answer to the change, when he replied it didn't matter what
he said, as he had been taken before ho had had a chance
of getting away.

The magistrate committed him to prison for three months
for the attempted robbery, as also for two months for
assaulting the police,

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.— Sarah Myers, a young woman,
was this morning brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt, from the
House of Detention, where she has been for a week, having
been charged with attempting to commit suicide by taking
some mineral acid.

It appears that the prisoner was seen by a constable
lying on some door-steps, a razor protruding from her
bosom, and having told some of the bystanders she meant
to commit suicide the first opportunity. The constable
asked hei why she intended to do so, and she said she had
just come out of Maidstone Gaol, and her parents would not
receive her. She was then taken to the station, where she
admitted taking 2d. worth of a mineral poison, and was
then taken to the Middlesex Hospital, and the following
certificate was handed to the magistrate :

"This is to certify that Sarah Rogers was admitted to
this hospital, having taken some mineral poison."
Prisoner said she had no place to go to, and Welsh, the
gaoler, said her parents would do nothing for her and that
she had been sent to prison for robbing them.
Mr. Tyrwhitt ordered her to be brought up this morning,
and the chaplain of the House of Detention forwarded the
magistrate (Mr. Tyrwhitt) a letter, stating that he has
written to a committee of ladies in the city with the view of
getting her into some institution.
Prisoner said she was willing to go with the female
warder, and Mr. Tyrwhitt discharged her to be at once
taken to the city.

NEW GENERAL ATLAS.

DEDICATED BY SPECIAL PERMISSION TO HER MAJESTY.
THE ROYAL ATLAS OF MODERN
-I- GEOGRAPHY: in a Series of entirely Original and
Authentic Maps. By ALEX. KEITH JOHNSTON, F.R.S.E.,
F.R.G.S., Author of the " Physical Atlas," etc. With a com-
plete Index of easy reference to each Map, comprising nearly
150,000 places contained in this Atlas.

Imperial Folio, half-bound in Russia or Morocco,
price £5 15s. 6d.

"Of the many noble atlases prepared by Mr. Johnston acrd
published by Messrs. Blackwood and Sons, this Royal Atlas
will be the most useful to the public, and will deserve to he
the most popular."—Athenaeum, August 10, 1861.
"We know no series of maps which we can more warmly
recommend. The accuracy, wherever we have attempted to
put it to the test, is really astonishing."—Saturday Review.
" The culmination of all attempts to depict the face 491 the
world appears in the Royal Atlas, than which it is impossible
to conceive anything more perfect."—Morning Herald.

"This is, beyond question, the most splendid and luxuri-
ous, as well as the most useful and complete, of all exi, iting-

"There has not, we believe, been produced for general
public use a bony of !naps. equal in beauty and completet teas
to the Royal Atlaa just issued by Air. A. K. Johnston.."—
Examiner.

In comparing this beautiful and valuable atlas with. : pre-
vious collections, every one must be struck, not only bl the
immense advances in geographical knowledge, but b y the
greatly increased power of representing that knowlec le .e to
the eye in the course of the last thirty years."—Econon d et.
"An almost daily reference to, and comparison of it • with
others, since the publication of the first part some two y ears
ago until now, enables us to say, without the slightest .1 lesl-
tation, that this is by far the most complete and auths entic
atlas that has yet been issued."—Scotsman.

STATE OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH.

The number of deaths reg—fsteied in the 3 months
was 100,986, considerably more than in the same
quarter of 1860, which was 86,423, but less than in
that of 1859. And over England the fluctuation in
the deaths was generally similar to that which is
shown in the aggregate number. The annual rate of
mortality did not rise quite to the average : for the
former was 199 in 10,000 of the population, the
latter is 202. In the cold September quarter of
1860 the rate was 171.
The mortality in the country and small towns
was 178, whereas that of the large towns was 221.
The respective average rates are 176 and 235:
whence it appears that in an equal number of the
population (10,000) there were 43 deaths more in
towns than in country ; hut the health of the former
was better last quarter, relatively to their own
former experience, than that of the latter, for the
mortality among the rural population slightly ex-
ceeded its average.
The town and country rates of mortality in the
summer of 1860 were respectively 184 and 159.
That season differed from the summer which has
just passed chiefly in this respect, that it was much
colder, and consequently diarrhcea prevailed much
less than it has recently done. In 10,000 persons
the excess of deaths this year over those of 1860 was
37 in towns and 19 in the country. Other causes
besides diarrhoea affect in various ways the results;
but the facts are sufficient to show that this com-
plaint (rules with a more deadly effect where
"houses thick and sewers annoy the air." It de-
serves to be noticed that the annaul deaths from
diarrhcea in London ranged from 452 to 841 in the
years 1840 5; they suddenly mounted to 2,152 in
1846 ; they continued high during the whole period
1847-59, which embraced two cholera epidemics ;
they were 3,335 in 1859, which is more than a sixth
part of the deaths from diarrhcea that year in Eng-
land. They fell to 1,383 in 1860. When an effi-
cient system of drainage has come into operation in
London and the large towns, and other sanitary
works hgvire sweetened the air eboye and the earth

Tara SUTN, LONDON, FRIDAY BVENING,I ,yOVEMBER 1, 1861.

Messrs. RING and BRYMER, it need only be said
that it was worthy of the occasion, and of the an-
cient and honourable society which had invited so
large an assembly to partake of its hospitality.
At dark the fountain was illuminated by the elec-
tric and lime light, and the rest of the grounds was
also brilliantly lighted with gas until the departure
of the great body of the visitors.
The day will long be remembered by the
Benchers as one of their most magnificent and
merriest.

The Middle Temple stands pre-eminent in point
of legal honours at the present time, The Lord
Chancellor, the Lord Chief Justice of the Queer's
Bench, the Lord Chief Justice of the Common
Pleas, and the Lord Chief Baron being members ;
and now that the future head of all law and honour
has become a member, it may well be proud of its
high rank and honours. The pageant of yesterday
will ever stand out as one of its most glorious re-
collections. Long may it prosper in Learning,
Loyalty, and Independence.

PRICES, THE WEATHER, AND PAUPERISM.

The average price of Consols in the quarter fell
to 947. The average price of wheat per quarter
was 525. ld., which is less by 7s. than it was in the
same quarter of last year, but higher by Bs. than
in that of 1859. Both beef and mutton are cheaper
than they were at the same time last year. The
average price of the best potatoes has fallen in the
same periods from 1355. per ton to 975. 6d.
The meteorological character of last summer was
so far different from that of the summer which pre-
ceded it that its mean temperature at Greenwich
was GOA deg., having been higher by 4'2 deg. Till
Aug. 3 the temperature of the air was generally
rather below the average ; warm weather set in on
the 4th, and continued 39 days ; from Sept. 12 till
Sept. 27, the weather for the most part was cold.
On Aug. 12 the mean temperature was 72.9 deg.,
nearly 12 deg. in excess of the average, and higher
by 10 deg. than the highest temperature in 1880.
On the same day the thermometer in the shade rose
to 89.5 deg., or 13 deg. higher than the highest
point in 180, which was 76.5 deg. on the 23d May.
The temperature of the last day of September was
remarkable; the mean was 61.5 deg., and the highest
74 deg. ; and going back as far as 1814, this is the
only instance in which the mean temperature of the
30th September reached 60 deg. Hardly more than
half an inch of rain fell in August ; the total fall in
the three months was 41 in., which is 3:1- in. below
the average of 46 summers. In July the weather
was unsettled all over England; in the other months
it was very fine, with little rain in some parts, but
unsettled with much rain in others. For these and
other interesting fact stated in greater detail, Mr.
Glaisher's report, which is subjoined, may be con-
sulted. _ _

The registrar of Poulton•le-Fylde, in Lancashire,
mentions that the crop in his district was nearly an
average, and had been secured in excellent condi-
tion. The registrar of Pudsey (Bradford) attributes
the health of his district to fine weather and whole:
some food "at a moderate price." The registrar of
Northallerton states that the season has been very
got in; and the report
ffarovmourcabhlees,tearn-dlet-shterecerto,psinwell
Durham, is that the
produce is abundant and gathered "in prime con-
dition." The registrar of Kington, in South
Wales, says :—" Weather unusually warm, and
harvest completed in excellent order ; the crops
light, but of good quality." At Bettws-y-Coed, in
North Wales, the weather was very wet in July,
but the two other months " rather fine ;" but in
West Ward, Westmoreland, "since the middle of
July the weather has been extremely wet and
changeable."
The returns of pauperism: which were heavy in
the early part of the year, continued heavier in
the summer quarter than they were in the same
period of last year.
