      Health Of London During The Week. The Nu...

      HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK . The number of deaths registered in the metropolitan districts in the week that ended last Saturday is nearly the same as in the week preceding , being 994 . In the ten corresponding weeks of 1843-52 the average number was 108 * , which , if corrected for increase of population during these years , gives a mortality of 1192 for the present time . Last week s return , therefore , exhibit s a reduction of 198 on the estimated amount . It will be seen from the observations of registrars that cases of fever , both typhus and scarlatina , have been numerous and fatal in particular parts ; but it is satisfactory u * ; ™ g the whole of London , the mortality of the epidemic class of diseases shows some diminution when compared with that of the previous weekand that it is

      , also less than the average of corresponding weeks in former years . In the last four weeks scarlatina destroyed successively 67 , 66 , 63 , and 38 lives ; typhus , which has been more uniform in its results , was fatal in 51 , 43 , 52 , and 48 cases . Judging from the mortality , diarrhoea shows no disposition to prevail , and no deaths have been recorded from English or other cholera during the last three weeks . But hooping-cough rose from 39 deaths in the previous week , to 49 in the last ; bronchitis from . 67 to 82 ; phthisis was fataj in the last three weeks in 104 , 125 , and 134 cases . In connexion with this increase in affections of the respiratory organs , it may be noticed that the mean weekly temperature , which at the beginning of the year was so high as 47 . 5 deg ., and was afterwards 45 deg ., " fell hist week to 41 . 9 deg . S

      Last week the births of 790 boys and 187 girls , in all 1577 children , were registered in London . In the eight corresponding weeks of the years 1845-52 the average number was 1427 . At the Eoyal Observatory , Greenwich , the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29 . 468 in . The mean temperature was on every day above the average of 38 years , but it showed much variation , having fallen on Tuesday to 37 . 5 deg ., or only 1 . 1 deg . above the average ; and thereafter having risen on Thursday to 49 . 6 deg ., which is 12 , 9 deg . above the average of that day . On Saturday it fell again to 38 . 9 deg . ; and the mean of the week was 41 . 9 deg ., which is 5 . 4 deg . above the average . On Monday , Tuesday , and Saturday the wind blew from the north-west ; on Wednesday from the south ; at other times from the south-west . The mean dew point temperature was 35 . 4 deg .

      Saturday, January 22. Me. Sadiiele, It S...

      Saturday , January 22 . Me . SADiiElE , it seems will be returned for some other place . It is said that , two members who had heretofore occupied prominent positions in the " Irish party" are not at all satisfied with the opposition given to the re-election of the gentlemen who have accepted place under the Ministry of Lord Aberdeen ; and as the best practical method of evincing their hostility , eacli of those members has made an offer to accept the Chiltern Hundreds as soon as the House meets in February , in order to afford Mr . Sadleir an opportunity of proffering his services to another constituency , The

      Freeman's Journal points to Mr . Dunne , one of the representatives for the Queen ' s county , as being a party to this negotiation , but hesitates to believe that he would be guilty of such flagrant treason to the sacred cause of obstruction . Nevertheless people do believe that the organ is not very wide of the mark , especially as the state of Mr . Dunne ' s health but ill suits him for the fatigues of Parliamentary life . The other gentleman mentioned is Mr . T . Devereux , the member for the borough of Wexford , and who , the other day , turned his back on the Tenant League rather than be an

      accomplice in a resolution embodying a wholesale condemnation of men not present to defend themselves . The Evening Post , a strenuous supporter of Mr . Sadleir , attributes Mr . Alexander ' s success , not to the exertions of the League and Equality-mongers , but to the practice of the " most profligate and audacious bribery on the part of the Tories , to an extent totally unprecedented in this country . " The Post further alleges , that on the day of election the sum of 1 , 000 / . was offered to an elector for his vote , or 500 Z . if he remained away .

      Mr . Ingersoll , the American Minister , was entertained at dinner , at Dee ' s Hotel , by about 150 of the leading merchants and traders of Birmingham last night . Mr . Muntz was in the chair . In returning thanks for his health , Mr . Ingersoll expressed his high gratification at the compliment paid to his country through him , and hoped the two nations would ever be united in peace and harmony , and in the promotion of liberty and civilization . He rejoiced that the tribute of respect bad been paid to him at a moment when this country enjoyed so much prosperity , and trusted that the business relations between England and the United States would always go on increasing . A great number of toasts were drunk , and the party s « parated at eleven o ' clock .

      " The News Of The Downfall Of The Derby ...

      " The news of the downfall of the Derby and Disraeli Ministry , " says tho New York correspondent of the Times , " has been received in this country with exultation by all tho friends of freedom of commerce . Wo have none of us been able to understand the reasons why the Derby Ministry could expect to retain power . There was nothing positive about it . The Ministers seemed to have gone to their constituents with no earnestness of creed , with no well-established principles

      of financial policy . In one whire they preached Protection , in nnother half-and-half tariffs , and in others still 1 'Yoe-trade , if people demanded it . Such Governments cannot live in this positive age . And since there in a prospect that the Earl of Aberdeen , Lord John Russell , mid Mr . Oladstono are to go into the new Ministry , it seems likely that these names will inspire a greater degree of confidence , both in our Government and among our people , than any othor Ministry that has existed for any considerable time in Great Britain .

      There was yesterday an improved fooling on the Bourse , iih compared with Wednesday last . It seomri to ho now considered that tho Emperor ' s marriage having boon assented to by tho Corps Diplomatique , tho event will consolidate tho domestic policy of Franco with tho peace of tho rest of Europe ; hence tho public securities nearly regained the position from which they fell on Wednesday , tho Three per Cents , closing at ; 7 l ) f . \)( k ' . ; and tho Four-nnd-a-half per cents , at 10 f > f . Tho cloning quotation of Bank Stock , however , Wan i 58 O () f ., being tho Hume aa on the two dnyn provioiw , after the Horious decline in all kinds of HoeuritieH . A trifling advance wan observable in tho niton of railway shares but the improvement in Hearooly quotable .

      A Singular Trial Took Place Yesterday In...

      A singular trial took place yesterday in tho Court of IflxclwHiiHir . A I ' Yonehmnn named Dobaokor had designs on thowil ' o , or mistress , of another Frenchman , named Hollovuo . llo ultimately succeeded in deducing Madame Bollovuo , by making hor presents and then arresting M . Itollovao for the cost of them . Dobuokor brought an notion for H ' -W , for goods supplied and money lent . Uellovuo ' h story was told in ovidonco through an interpreter . " Ho had known tho plaintiff oinco Juno last . Ho had

      been introduced to that person by a friend of the name of Maubert , of Paris . He was himself a literary man , and was a member of the Society of Dramatic Authors . Ho had been living with a certain , young lady for the last six years , during which period she had borne him two charming children . Maubert at one time had lodged in the plaintiff ' s house , and , therefore , saw his lady there . He recollected the 14 th of November last , and upon that day the plaintiff brought down a Talma from his " Magasin , remarking that here was a new cloak which his workmen had spoiled by putting the back in the front , and the front in the back . The plaintiff then put tho cloak , the Talma , on the lady , at which act he felt much astonishment . The plaintiff said that if the lady would accept it , it would make him very happy indeed .

      The lady said ' Oh ! no , sir . ' The plaintiff then put the Talma on the back of a chair . About a week after this he again went to the plaintiffs , when that , person said that he had got the Talma settled , and that he was still anxious to present it to the lady . Upon this the witness turned round to the lady , and said , ' My dear , you seem to be pleased with this Talma ; I will take it for you , and pay for it when I have the moneyP' The plaintiff appeared to be satisfied and pleased with this arrangement . Nothing , however , was said about the price at the time . He remembered something about a hat . ' This is the hat ( holding forth , in a most excited manner , an old and shabby hat ); and the man of whom I bought a new one six weeks subsequently allowed me sixpence only . ' The

      witness held it out towards the jury , exclaiming , ' Sixpence , sixpence ! ' His own hat had been crushed as he was getting out of one of the penny steamboats . When he reached the plaintiffs he said it was unpleasant that his hat should be in such a state , as he had no money to purchase another with . The plaintiff , upon this , remarked that he had two hats upstairs , and then brought two old hats down , one of which he told him . to take , and he had worn it for six weeks , when , having received some money from France , he bought a new one , and the hatter allowed him only ' sixpence' for the old one which he had received from the plaintiff . The plaintiff was accustomed to use pomade to his hair , and therefore the old hat was very greasy inside and discoloured in the lining . He well

      remembered the plaintiff bringing a dozen pocket-handkerchiefs to ' mafemme , who excelled in embroidery work Oh ! she embroidered like an angel . ' ( Loud laughter , caused as much by the gesticulation of the witness as tho expression itself , ) The plaintiff said that she embroidered so exquisitely that he should feel greatly indebted to her if she would embroider half of the number of handkerchiefs with his initials , about an inch in length , and hem the remaining half . When these handkerchiefs had been finished the plaintiff called , and he said to the lady , ' I cannot offer you money , but I pray you to accept the six unembroidered handerchiefs for your trouble . ' The witness said he saw no particular objection to his lady accepting these handkerchiefs under the circumstances , and therefore

      he made no objection to it . In the course of October he received a bill from his agent in Paris for 15 L 9 s . Id ., payable in London at three days' sight—namely , on the 1 st of November , at the house of Messrs . Monteaux and Co ., foreign bankers in London . It was on the 12 th of October that he had received this bill , and on the 18 th of tho same month ho gave it to tho plaintiff , having previously endorsed his own name upon the back of it , remarking that , aa that gentleman so frequently went into the city , he could leave it for him for acceptance , and afterwards present it for payment . That was tho reason he had given the bill to the plaintiff . On tho day that the bill became duo ho saw the plaintiff , who told him ho had received the money for it , but said that ho would make him advances on the bill . He had , however , afterwards found out that the bill was duly honoured on its arrival at maturity on the 1 st of November . Tho money small

      was advanced to him by tho plaintiff in . sums , upon various occasions , and the advances eventually exceeded tho amount of the bill by M . 14 s . That wan tho whole of tho money tho plaintiff had advanced him . II ' o had never mentioned to a M . i ' olez that ho was indebted to the p luinti / f as much as 12 A or 13 F . Ho was arrested by tho pfuintifl ' on tho 18 th of December , at . " $ 7 , Ruthbone-place , about 7 o ' clock in tho evening . This wan on Saturday , arid much violenco was used towards him before ho was carried oil" to prison , on tho prompting 1 of tho plaintiff . J Io remained in prison , until tho following lj ' riday evening , and when ho reached his homo he found his liuly and children " gone , and tho door of bin room scaled up . Ho hud never boon guilty of any violence ; to his ladyT although , since their acquaintance with tho plaintiiV , they bad had scones of jealousy < m his account . It was utterly impossible that ho could use violence towards her , because ho adored her as a saint , and his children " | The defendant was here overcome by bin feelingH , and wept . |

      Cross examined , ho showed that he bad boon separated from bis wife in 1 H 4 U , and then lived with the young lady who went oil' with Dolmcker . Mr . Huron 1 'latt summed up favourably for Hollovuo , and tho jury found a verdict for him . Tho Aohilli case was yesterday continued by the A Itornoy-General . Nothing of ' any novelty occurred . The counsel for I ) r Nowmun urged that tho witno . Hnon , generally , wcio move worthy of credit I ban Aolulli ; and insisted on a now trial being granted .
