MEMORIAL TO THE LATE GENERAL
SI a WILLIAM NAPIER, K.C.B.
At a Meeting held at the Royal United Service Institu-
tion ou the Bth May, 1860,
His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, K.G.,
G.C.8., in the chair,
It was proposed by his Grace the Duke of Richmond, K.G.,
and seconded by the Earl of Ellenborough, G.C.8.,
That the late General Sir William Napier, as a soldier
and a military historian, merited the admiration and grati-
tude of his country.
Proposed by General Sir John Burgoyne, Bart., G.C.8.,
and seconded by General Sir Thomas Brotherton,
K.C.8.,
That he immortalised the glorious deeds of our Army in
Spain, Portugal, and France, by his history of the war in
those countries—a history that no true soldier can read
without instruction and advantage, and without being in-
spired by the heroic sentiments and spirit-stirring language
the author.
Proposed by General Sir Robert Gardiner, G.C.8., and
seconded by Lieutenant-General Sir Harry Smith,
Bart., G.C.8.,

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK.

PUBLICATIONS.

(Front the Registrar-General's Weekly Return.)

The Afoniteur continues the publication of docu-
ments connected with the late proceedings in China.
In a report from the Commander of the French
Corps of Operations in that country to the Marshal
Minister of War occurs the following account of
the plundering of the Summer Palace:—
"After a rather difficult march we reached the
village of Yuen-ming•yuen at 7 o'clock ; we followed
a road paved with granite flags, and we passed over
a handsome bridge leading to the Imperial Palace,
the entrance of which faces the bridge, and is dis-
tant only 200 metres ; the road between the bridge
and the palace is bordered on the left by a row of
stately trees; on the right is a large square con-
taining a row of fine houses, the residences of the
principal mandarins.
" Before bivouacking I determined to examine the
entrance of the palace, which was closed by a very
strong gate and by barriers on the right and left.
It was said that there were Tartars in the courts
and gardens inside the gates. I immediately sent
two companies of marine infantry to examine the
entrance of the Palace and the wood behind, as well
as orderly officer Lieut. de Pina, of the navy. This
officer, hearing a noise inside, summoned them to
open the gates, and receiving no answer, he had a
laddqr brought and scaled the wall, followed by
EniiguArirrenan.—On -reaching-the top they saw
Tartars armed with spikes, bows and arrows, and
muskets, who appeared ready to defend the gate.
On perceiving our officers these men retired, and
Lieut. de Pina got over the wall to open the gate
to our troops.
" At that moment the Tartars returned to attack
M. Pina, and a conflict took place between him
and the men who were hastening up. He
bravely resisted, and fired some shots with a
revolver, but was wounded in the left hand and
the right wrist. The Marines went to his assist-
ance and to that of their officer, M. Vivenon, who
had received a ball in the side, and the Tartars,
after a useless resistance, took to flight in disorder,
leaving behind them three men killed, and carrying
off several wounded.

THE MOST ATTRACTIVE GIFT BOOK OF
THE SEASON.

The late severe weather has not failed to pro-
duce its usual effect in an augmented rate of mor-
tality, though the increase shown as yet by the
returns is not of formidable amount. The deaths
in London, which were 1,208 and 1,269 respectively
in the two previous weeks, rose in the last week
of the year to 1,407. The average number of
deaths as obtained from returns of the fifty-second
week in each of the last ten years 1850-59, and
corrected for increase of population, is 1525. The
death of last week were therefore more than 100
below the estimated amount.
In December of 1859 there were two cold weeks,
the second and third ; in the fourth week, when the
mean temperature of the air was as high as 45.3
deg., the deaths rose to 1677. In the December of
1860 the last two weeks have been distinguished
by the coldness of the weather, which has now re-
laxed, but may still be followed, as in 1859, by an
increased number of deaths. In December, 1859,
the lowest point attained by the thermometer at

The deaths from pulmonary. diseases, exclusive
iwniethhe
of phthisis, were in the previous week 270; last
week they were 348. For the ten weeks (oflBso-59)
corresponding with last week, the average number
after correction for increase of population is 325.
In the last two weeks the deaths by bronchitis rose
-froni 146 to ,217.; those by Pneumonik from 89 to
95; those by phthisis from 136 to 171. Scarlatina
was fatal last week in 45 cases, 4 of which occurred
in the west sub-district of Islington. Measles was
fatal in 49 cases, of which 4 occevred in the south
sub-district of St. Giles, 3 in the Goswell-street
sub-district. There were 7 deaths from syphilis, 4
from intemperance. 13 persons, of 12 were children,
died by burns and scalds ; of these, two children, one
the son of a lamplighter, the other that of a railway
labourer, were burnt by their clothes taking fire. The
son of a shoemaker, aged 3 years, was scalded fatally
by drinking water from a kettle. A Chelsea pen-
sioner, aged 70 years, was suffocated by the im-
paction of meat in the trachea. Seven nonagena-
rians died in the week, of whom 5 were women.
Last week the births of 754 boys and 754 girls,
in all 1488 children, were registered in London. Ii
the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1850-59
the average number was 1,655.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 29.540 in.
The readings rose from 29.18 in. on Tuesday to
30.23 in. on Saturday. The mean temperature of
the air in the week was 25.9 deg., which is'll deg.
below the average of the same week in 43 years
(as determined by Mr. Glaisher. The mean daily
temperature was below the average throughout the
week, and on four days it was from 11 deg. to 16 deg.
below the average. The highest point attained in
the week by a thermometer in the shade was 35 deg.
on Wednesday and Friday. The lowest points
were 8 deg. and 10 deg. on Tuesday and Saturday
respectively. The range of temperature in the
week was therefore 27 deg. The mean daily range
was 12.9 deg. A thermometer on the grass fell to
2 deg. on Tuesday. The difference between the
mean dew-point temperature and air temperature
was 6.9 deg. The mean degree of humidity was
74,:complete saturation being represented by 100.
On Saturday the humidity was only 61. Melted
snow in the week measured 0.28 in. The minimum
temperature, 8 deg., took place at 7 h. on the morn-
ing of Christmas. After twelve o'clock p.m. on
Saturday a rapid thaw set in.

THE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
fully explained in J. GROSSMITH'S
" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the.monetary difficulties ex
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in busi-
ness has now become the grim torture. Purity of motive,
intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost, All denominations of Constitutions are carefully
examined in J. Grossmitif s "Government upon First Prin-
ciples."

" The noise of the firing having attracted me to
the spot, 1 made General Collineau come up with a
brigade, and occupy strongly the first courtyard of
the Palace, not wishing to advance further during
the night in an unknown place. About 700 or 800
Tartars, who were behind a series of palaces which
extended to the woods, might have attempted to
disquiet our men. But the night passed without
events, and the next day very early in the morning
I went to the Palace, accompanied by Generals
Jamin and Collineau, by the chief of my staff, and
the English Brigadier Pattle, with whom were
Major Sley, of the Queen's Dragoons, and Colonel
Fowley. A company of infantry preceded us, to
assure our march, but the Palaces were completely
evacuated by the Tartars.
" I was anxious that our allies should be present
at this first visit to the Palace, which I suspected
must contain groat riches. After passing through
several apartments of indescribable splendour, I
had sentinels placed everywhere, and I directed
two artillery officers to see that no one entered the
Palace, and that everything should remain as it
was until the arrival of General Grant, who was
sent for immediately by Brigadier Pattle.
" The English officers having arrived, we con-
sulted what we had better do with all these riches,
and we appointed three commissioners of each na-
tion, with instructions to set apart the objects of
greatest value as curiosities, so that an equal divi-
sion might be made ; it would have been impossi-
ble to think of carrying away the whole of the
property, our means of transport being very limited.
" Soon after a further search led to the discovery
of a sum of about 800,000 f. in small ingots of gold
and silver. The same commission also proceeded
to make an equal division between the two armies.
which gave about 80f, to each of our soldiers. The
division among the men was made by a commission
which was composed of all the chiefs of the corps,
and of the different branches of the service, and
was presided over by General Jamin. The com-
mission, having deliberated in the name of the
army, declared that the latter desired as a souvenir
to make a present to the Emperor, the Empress,
and the Prince Imperial of the whole of the curious
articles carried off from the Palace.

offering to the Chief of the State, who will consider
it as a mark of gratitude of his soldiers for having
been sent on the most distant expedition that was
ever undertaken.

" At the moment of the division between the two
armies I insisted, in the name of the Emperor, that
Lord Elgin should make the first choice for the
Queen of England. '
"Lord Elgin selected a baton of command of the
Emperor of China, in green jade, of great value,
and mounted with gold. A second baton, similar
in every respect, having been found, Lord Elgin in
his turn resolved that it should be reserved for the
Emperor of the French. There was, therefore,
perfect equality in this first choice.
" It would be impossible for me to describe to you,
Monsieur le Marechal, the magnificence of the nu-
merous buildings which succeed each other over an
extent of four leagues, and which composes what is
called the Summer Palace of the Emperor, being a
succession of pagodas, all containing gods in gold,
silver, and ;,bronze, of gigantic dimensions. One
deity in bronze—a Bouddha—is about 70 feet high
gardens, lakes, and objects of curiosity heaped up
for centuries past in the midst of buildings of white
marble, roofed with dazzling varnished tiles of all
' colours, add to that the view over a delightful
country, and your Excellency will have but a very
feeble idea of what we have seen.
"In each of the pagodas there exist, not objects,
but whole storerooms of every kind. To mention

SPECIAL SRVIECES AT ST. PAUL'S.—Arrange-
milts have been made for commencing the special Sunday
evening services in St. Paul's Cathedral on the 27th inst.,
on which occasion the Bishop of London will preach.
SUDDEN DEATH OF THE COUNTESS OF:EGLIN..
TON.—It is with deep regret that we announce the sudden
death of the Countess of Eglinton. The Earl and Counteas
of Essex received a telegram on Monday from Scotland,in-
forming them of the sudden death of the Countess, their
daughter, who died at 9 o'clock on Monday morning, at
Eglinton Castle, Ayrshire. The lamented Countess, so
untimely cut off, was to all appearance in the best health on
Sunday, and, with her noble husband, was about to receive
a large circle of distinguished visitors at the castle. Tier
late ladyship, Adela Caroline Harriet, was the only daugh-
ter of the Earl and Countess of Essex, and was born time
4th March, 1828. She was married in Dublin in 1863 to the
Earl of Eglinton, then Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, being
his lordship's second wife. We believe she leaves Issue an
only child.
