CHILDREN IN THE ENGLISH WoRKHeUsEs.-It
appears that the total number of children in all the
warehouses in England and Wales on the 18th Of
March, 1851, was 5O,lS9, viz. :-27,3 boys, and
q, s3S girls; being decrease of III per cent on the
number in 1919. Of the boys 3,775 were capable
Of entering upon service, and Of the girls 2 ,973.
The greatest proportion of these children
years OF age and upwards, viz. III ,S03 boys, and
ll,32l gi:ls. The Legitimate children amounted
to IL GA, of ,s7i of whom the mothers in the
workhouse. Tho deserted children, whether de-
serted by father, mother, or both, amounted to
$500, and those whose fathers transported,
suffering imprisonment for crime, to ,32S. Tho
counties furnishing the largest number of children
thus maintained in the work ouses were Niddlesex
(3,0o5 boys, 2,fJS girls), Lancaster (2,673 boys,
1885 girls), Kent ,42i boys, 1923 grls), Surrey
U,277 boys, ,0S2 girls), Devon q III boys, PA

The political scnstiyeness Of the Prussian au-
thorities has been recently tested by the intended
production of " Masancllo," at the Berlin Italian
Opera. A Government official attended the grand
rehearsal and, fearing that the affects of the music
might operate prejudcially in the present state Of
the popular mind, prohibited the performance. To
this circumstance Is owing the fact that Signor
Pardiui has been enabled to come to London and
appear in aneilo," which is being got up for
him at her Majesty's theatre.

continue quiet for period at least all and
will depend on the course of the present admins
