Thee Abt Tbkasubbs Exhibition-. —The public will learn with pleasure that Lieutenant-Colonel Biddulph has communicated to the executive committee tie great interest ^ hich the Queen and Prince Al b ert continue to evince in the success of the exhibition . Her Majesty has promptly permitted a selection to be made from the woTks of mediaeval art in the royal collections at Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace . The selection has been made ( under the direction of Mr . J . B . Waring ) , not so much to exhibit the wealth of the royal collections , as to illustrate , by rare and select specimens , those peculiar periods and styles of art , of -which examples of equal importance have not , as yet , "been contributed to the exhibition . —Manchester Examiner ,

He was committed on Tuesday week , under a warrant from the County Court , as a prisoner for debt to the Debtors' Ward in the Devon County Gaol .

    until Friday week , when he died . A verdict was returned in accordance with the evidence . Health op London . —In the week that « nded on Satmday , the deaths of 1135 persons—viz ., 577 males and 558 females—were registered . The average number of deaths in the ten weeks corresponding -with last week of the years 1847-56 , was 1251 ; but , as the deaths of last week occurred in an increased population , the average must be raised proportionally to the increase for the purpose . of comparison , and in this case it will lecome 1376 . The number of deaths recorded last week ia less by 241 than would have been returned if the average rate of mortality had prevailed . The deaths caused by diseases of the organs of respiration are not so numerous as they were about the end of

    November . Five persons are recorded as having died from the intemperate use of spirituous liquors . Last year the number of deaths expressly stated as due to this cause was 66 , or rather more than one in a week ; but at this festive season an increase in cases of this description is , unfortunately , to be expected . On the 30 th of December , a roan , aged 74 years , was found dead in St . John s-square from want of the necessaries of life . Five persons in the present returns—namel y , four men . and a woman—had arrived at the age of 90 years or upwards . The oldest died in Mile-end , at the age of 96 years . Last week , the births of 846 boys and 817 girls , in all 1663 children , were registered in London . In the ten corresponding weeks of the year 1847-56 , the average number was 1517 . —From the Re gistrar General s Weekly Return .

    London , Friday Evening , January 1 ( 5 , 1857 . TnE English funds have since last Friday experienced considerable fluctuation . Tho course pursued by tho Bank of England , with regard to loans on stock , caused some feeling of depression , which , however , was in some measure counteracted by tho settlement of tho Noul ' cbatel disputes . Something has boon said of a probability « f tho Bank of Franco increasing their capital ; this caused a further buoyancy in consols , an impression being entortai nod that such a stop would enable that establishment to afl ' ord more , accommodation to speculators , thoreby easing the money market . But for tho pressing demands in our discount markets , Consols would doubtless bo considerably higlier than tlieir present price , 04 , seeing that the political world is in araoro tranquil stato than it has been for some tiino . There has been no very largo amount of business in tlio Stock Exchange tins week , attention having been chiofly given to tho arrangement of tho account , which has passed over very satisfactorily . Tho rates for carrying over accounts to tho end of the month wero a shade lighter tlian last time . Some bargains have- boon done in Turkish Six per Cent , at improved prices ; but this Stock has never recovered from tho heavy fall it had of 11 per cent , a fow months ago . It lias novor been well held , but always a floating , speculative Stock , owing to tho fact that 1 por cent , of tho loan ia liable to bo drawn every year . Notwithstanding tins , however , a Six por Gout . Stock at t ) r > is very cheap , especially when tho dividends have always been promptly j ) aid . There liua been vory little alteration lu Iho Railway Markets generally this week , although in no » no cases , lower prices lmv « been established , as in tho London and North Western , Laneashiro and Yorknhiro , and Midlands , wtiioh average a fall of about n , hall' per cent .
