QUARTERLY RETURN OF MARRIAGES, BIRTHS, AND DEATHS. I.. In the United Kingdom the births of 279,210 child. reu, and the deaths of 169,427 pereons, sere registered in the three months ending 30th September 1880. The recorded natural increase of population was thus 109,783. The registered number of persons married in the quarter euded 30th June 1880 was 113,514. The resident population of the United Kingdom in the middle of 1880 is estimated at 34,505,043; tlut of England and Wales at 25,480,101, of Scotland 3,661,292, and of Ireland at 5,363,590. The birth-rate in the United Kingdom in the third quarter of 1880 was 321 per 1000, and the d.ath,rdte l9 5 The marriage-rate in the second quarter of 1880 was 13 2 per lOPO. During the three month, ending June last the marriages of 91,702 persons were recOlded in England and Wales. The annual marnage-ra e was equal to 14-4 per 1000 of the estimated population; this rate ehowed a further decline of 6 4 from the rates prevailing in recent corresponding quarters, and was 2 3 lower than the average rate io the fspnng quarters of the ten year. 1870-79. In the second or sprmg quarter of 1873 the marriage-rate was equal to 18 3 per 1000, since which it has continuously declined. The births registered duriug the three months ending September were 218,766, aDd exesedei by 596 the aumber returu01 in the corresponding perod of 1879. The annual birth-rate, which had been equal to 35 o and 34'4 in the two preceding corresponding quarters further declined to 34 1 last quarter, and was 0 6 below the average rate in the third or summer quarters of the ten years 1870 7,1. The natural increase to the population of England and Wales, or excess of births over deaths, which was 92,940 and 114,437 in the September quar- ters of 1878 and 1879, declined to 87,736 Ist quarter. The actual increase of population is tl-cttd both by emigration and immigration but no complete records ot immigration exist. It appears, from returns issued by the Board of Trade, that 88,071 emigrants embarked during last quarter from the various porta of the United Kingdom at which emigration officers are stationed. The average number of piupcrs (exclusive of lua-ities in asylum. and vagrants) relieved in England and Wales on the hat day of each week in the quarter was 702 549, of whom 162,879 received in-door, and 539,670 out-door relief. The proportion of pauperism showed a slig'-t decline fr mthe increasing proportion* in recent corresponding quarters. Compared with the return for the third quarter of 18?, the o £ in. door paupers showed a fUltber increase of .766 or 3'7 per cent, whereas the out-door paupers showed a de. cline of 9085, or 1'7 per cent. Daring la<t quarter 23 2 per cent. of the total paupers relieved were in receipt of in-door relief, whereas ia the corresponding period of 1871 the proportion of in-do,,)r t) total paupers did not exceed 14'6. Tba proportion of the population in re- ceipt of pauper relief during the three months ending September last was 27'6 per 1000, against 26'5 and 28 0 in the two precediog corresponding quarters in the third or Bummer quarter of 1870 the proportion of paupers Was equal to 41'2 per 1000. During the three months ending September 131,0«0 deaths were regis, tered in England and Wales these were equal to an annual rate of 20'4 per 1000, which exeeded by 0 6 the average rate in the ten preceding corresponding quarters, and was 4 0 above the exceptionally low rate that pre- vailed during the summer of 1879 In the third or summer quarters of the 41 years 1838 78 the average annual death rate was equal to 20-5 per 1000, and was almost identical with that which preniled during the three months now under notice. The 131,030 deaths included 6,411 of males, and 92,619 of femaies the annual death rate among males was equal to 219, and smoug females 19'0 per 1000 estimated to be living of each sex. The 131,030 deaths from all causes included 32,166 from the seven principal zymotic diseases. This num- ber corresponds to an annual rate of 5-01, against an average of 4'32 for the ten preceding summer quarters. The deaths from dirrhwa., irrespectively of those referred to simple cholera and dysentery, numbered 21,301, and were equiva'ent to an annual rate of 3 32, against an average of 2'26 for the ten preceding summer quarters. Next in fatality to diarrhcea came scarlet fever, with 3880 deaths, and an annual rate of 0'60 per 1000, against an average of 0'69 for the ten preceding summers. The mortality from this disease has fallen each quarter since the close of last year, having been succe,sively 0 90 0'71 0'63 and 0'60. Whoopiug-cough killed 2297 child. ren, and its rate was 0'36, which was also the average rate of the ten preceding summers, summer being the quarter in which this disease is almost always, though not invariably, at its minimum. The highest county rates were 0'60 in Cornwall, 0'62 in Northumberland, and 0-65 in Lancashire, while Rutlandshire and Here- fordshire enjoyed complete immunity The deaths from me.tf]e?vere 2086, and the annual rate 0-32, agamst an average of 0-25 for the ten preceding summers. The death" from feaver, mainly enteric numbered 1957, and the annual rate was 0'30, against an average of 0'49 for the ten preceding summer quarters. Diphtheria caused 576 deaths, corresponding to an annual rate of 0'09, which was also the average for the ten preceding summers. Among districts or sub-districts where the mortality from this disease was in excess were East Grinsteåd, Bedford, Barford, Hawkesbury, Pontefract, Northallerton, Fishguard, Colwyn and Llandwrog. The deaths from small-pox, which in the two previous quarters had been 197 and 174, fell this quarter to 69. Of these 49 occurred in London, leaving only 20 for the rest of England and Wales.

[THE DOUBLE MURDER AT CHISLEHURST. Joseph Waller, aged twenty-four, an ex-policamani formerly statioued at Worship street, London, was again brought up on Monday morning, at Bromley, charged with the wilful murder of Edmund Ellis, aged stventy.three years, and Elizibsth, his wife, aged fifty. six years, at their coitage at Chislchurst, on Sunday morning, the 31st ultimo. The prisoner was brought from Maidstone gaol by train, aDd from the railway station was conveyed in a cab to the court. Immense crowds had congregated to witness his arrival, aid for a long distance the vehicle was followed by a mob, hooting aDd yelling at the prisooer M he passed along. When he arrived at the entrance to tile Assembly Rooms, in which the ouurt was held, a desperate attempt was made to mob and lynch him. The pre. siding magi'trate was Eatl Sidney, aud when the pri- :ou,r was placed in the dock he assumed the defiant careless attitude he bad before exhibited. An extra- ordinary scene occurred in court before tbe prisoner was arraigned, causing the greatest excitement. The mother of the prisoner fought her way with great desperation through the dense crowd, and in doing so nearly had her clothes tore to shreds. At length she succeeded in getiing into the police office. She •creamed in the mo,t violent manner, and shouted out, I I will see my darling; he's my child. I will stand by his side in the dock to the last. He is my darling, aud I will give my evidence fur him. I will speak for him myself, and you shall ::ot keep me away I am deter. mined to stand here and spfak to gentlemen for him.' She then took up her position by the side of the dock, and patieutly waited fjr the prisoner's arrival.-Mr Pollard, who prosecuted on behalf of the Treasury, said that since the last hearing an application had been made to the public prosecutor to t ike up the case, and he had instructed him to appear to prosecute. He asked that the dep sitions already taken be read over. As this was being done, the prisoner, who stood firmly handcuffed in the dock, was asked if he bad any further questions to ask. In a loud voice he replied No. Inspector Higgins, io answer to Mr Pollard, said when the prisoner told him to seu i eight men and two stretchers into the wood, he also said You will find there two dead bodies which I have shot with that revolver in your band, and both of which I have tattrdered," The prisoner w,is locktd up in a cell at St. Mary Gray from Sunday to Monday, and he saw on the wall on the lattar day the sketch of the cottage and the words written 'Joseph Waller charged with the wilful murder of Edward and Eiiaxbeth Ellis, hot down with a revolver by me, Joseph Waller. There was also a gallows drawn with a figure dangling at the end of the halter. There had been no one looked up ia the cell but the prisoner. The writing was not there before the prisoner was there, and no one but the prMontrc?tdhavd?ne it.—ro)ice-eon!taMe Thoffiai Martin Mid- t had charg? of the prisoner Waller at the station while the i?p'Ctor \US searching the wood. The prisoner, when in the station, said at various times, 'I first went to old Ellis' house aud told him there were poachers in the wood. We went together into the wood to look for them, he carrying his truncheon. I then assaulted him. While I was doing so, be said, 'Joe, did I ever do you any harm I took his truncheon from him, and his lantern (a dark one), and then killed him. I then searched him, and went towards Bromley. After then I turned and went to Ellis' house again. I knocked at the door, and the poor old woman said, 'Is that my husband I said, Open the door,' and she did. I walked in; she said, 'Where's my husband!' I led her to believe that her husband had been attacked by poachers, and that be was in the wood and wanted her, I then asked her to light the lantern, and she did, and we then went in search, sh e carrying the light. I said Give me the light, aud I then took her into the wood and knocked her over. As she was wearing something light, I could see her better, and the blood on my trousers is where I knelt upon her. When Macsay came I was trying to get into the house.' The prisoner also said' You will find Mrs Ellis lying with her hand on a part of old Ellis' staff. I have knocked them to pieces. The depositions of the other witnesses were read over, and the prisoner was committed for trial. Mrs WaUer .il she could prove her son's insanity, and was told the plea could be brought forward at the I assIzes.

FASHIONS FOR CHILDREN. Winter is now so rapidly approaching that the tagte fully-designed costumes prepared for cold weather will be called into use almost at once, especially for child- ren whose time is passed principally out of doors, either for walking exercise or pastime, necessitating warmer clothing on that account. The fashions for children's garments, both boys and girls this month are extremely tasteful, without being extravagantly de. signed not that they vary considerably from the modes of the last two months, excepting it be iu the difference of materials, which are warmer and more comfortable- looking, and the decided tendency to jackets and coat- bodices, instead of the long-favoured princess. The latter style is by no means extinct, though the former is the most in favou,- at the present time consequent- ly, jackets are considered tho correct style for the little folks as well as for mammas. The fashionable materials for costumes comprise endless variety of fancy goods in wools, velvets, and pompadour velveteens, a variety of charming colour on a plain ground, also spotted vel- veteens. These make pretty dresse*, and not expensive, the prices varying from Is 6d to 3s per yard. Dresses of this kind would not be suitable for constant wear, but for occasional use they are very smart-looking. For plainer wear, cloth or fine serge, specially prepared for children's costumes, is much more durable. These dresses are made very plain, and require no other trimming than the material :imply stitched, or narrow homespun braid the 3ame shade. Handkerchief dresses are also very popular, and are now made ia fine wool, similar to the cotton ones which made Buch pretty costumes for the summer, only with this difference the colours are darker, and the borders of a bright contrasting shade, such as a dark prune, with striped border in old gold or bronie, with palo blue checked border, and many other shades equally pretty. There is also a newer kind of woollen material for costumes, which bas a border for being used as trimming woven along the selvedge and in different widths; the narrowest should be selected for children, as it can be better arranged on small gar- ments. The colours and patterns of the different borders are so numerous as to satisfy the most fastidious taste. The same kind of material has also tapestried or paisley-patterned borders, but these are not so suitable for children's dresses. For ordinary wear we still have the stockingette in favour, both for pollonaises and bodiees-the skirts are always of a different material.- Children's Dreumaktr.

Prize for tbe woman who will consent to be married ate given, including forty acres of land, On Monday morning an alarming fire occurred at the residence of Captain Jameson, near Kidderminster. A nurae, who was sleeping with an infant, noticed during the night the carpet on fire. She attributed this to a burning cinder, and after extinguishing the flames went to bed again. A beam beneath was really on fire, and the smoke, nearly suffocating the girl and chiH, ren- dered them unconscious. An exciting scene occurred when the fire became known to the other inmates, but fortunately no life was sacrificed. The damage was considerable.

THE KURDISH INVASION. SEVERAL TH0U3AND PEOPLE BURNT ALIVE. The UoUs contains a letter from its correspondent at Tabriz, giving particulars of the Kurdish invasion. Of the excesses perpetrated by the invaders, the writer states that they burnt to the ground, a few days attsr entry, Urmia, Miendeb, binao, Marah and Sovook- Boolak, perpetrating frightful excesses against the in. habitants. In many instances the people fled to the mitcheU to escape slaughter, believing that the common religion of invader and invaded wouid secure their im- munity from outrage, but the Kurds p'led hay, wood, aud iolhmmaoles against the doors, aod burnt the people inside to death. The correspondent affirms the leader of the invasion, Ibuabulla, to be such a holy person in the eyes of his fellow.tribesmen, that when he bathes it is considered a specific against diseases, and a meritorious religious act to drink his bath water. He has imuiense influence over the Kurds. Duriug the Turkish war, 40,000 swarmed to his flag in 48 hours, when it was known that he was going to make a raid in person against Bayazid. The invasion of Persia the Gokt correspon- dent asserts to have been exceedingly well timed, Persia having denuded Asierbijar of troops to swell her army in Khorassan, but he expre.s" hiij belief that the Iiurds are not likely to repeat it, now that the Shah has ap. appointed as governor of the Artpatakan province the late minister of war, Miiza Musaeiu Khan, famous for his energetic and active administration. The result will be tha the Kurds, unable to obtain booty iu Peraia, will turn their swords against the Turkish Armenians, who will suffer dearly for the failure of the raid into Asier- bijar. Among "be Persian troops operating against the Kurds is Colonel Domontovitch and several other RUB. sian officers. The Armenian journal Mshak, published at Tiflis, announces that several thousand people have been burnt alive in their places of worship, in which they had taken refuge. The Kurds have equalled the most frightful excesses of the Tartar scourge.

BRU7AL A&?AULT n* A SCHOOLMASTKR.—At tbe Dnr. ham City SessionB, on Monday, William Henry Tirnbs. a schoolmaster, wiis charged with violently aasiuiting a scholar, named Wilson, aged twelve yenrs. The de- fendant is the master of St. Giles' Church 8choole, Durham. Ou Thursday last he thrashed Wilson for being absent 08 the previous day. Hestruck the child several times over the back with a cane, and blacked his eye with his fist. The bjy was undressed in court,and his back was greatly discoloured by the a<gellation. It was proved that the child was absent from illness, and that he had suffered much from the master's thrashing, j' The Bench said the conduct was brutal and disgraceful, and Sued him iií. AN ILL-SPICNT LKOAO?. — Frederick Jennings, a young man, described a& a grocer, was charged at W eatuainater Police Court, London, on Wednesday, with violently aUllIltiug hi. lather, John Jennings, a tailor, of 45, Sioatie-square, Chelsea, The prosecutor said tbat the conduct uf the prisuner had beeu very disgraceful. His m^th r was dyinx at home, and the prisoner went up in the room drtiok, and fell over the bed. His sister remonstrated with him ahout his un-teeoaly conduct, and he then knocked her down. Wituess tried to get him out of the room, but just outside the door he wrenched the rail out of the cannister, and knocked him (prosecutor) down, cutciug his head deeply. Prisoner had had delirium tremBOI for the past three days, and he was "I61Y violent. La-t MUrch the prisoner had a legacy left hiui of about £ 1'10 a year by his unce, and since that time he had taken to drink. The prisoner said that the suff.,red from epilepsy. The prosecutor said that this was true to a certain extent, but the pri- soner had been a drunkard more or less for threeytarp, and since he had come into meney he was always druck. Prisoner would not lellve the house, and bad olfored to pay £50 a year for hs board and lodging. He (ptoaecutor) considered that tue prisoner was such a violent character tbat people who lived in the sime house as him were io daug-T.—Corroborative evidence of the assault was given, aud Mr d'Eyneourt remanded the prisoner to see it he would consent to go to a KG- treat for Habitual Drunkards, after having the advice of the chaplain. DRIADFUL STABBINO CABS —At Worship-street, Lon don, oa Wednesday, John Jonei, aged 29, a labourer, was charged with fele'djusly cuttiug and wounding Esther Harris, hy stabbing htr with a knife in the bead and the hand. The prosecutrix appeared in the witness- box with her head envel jpsd io hospital bandages. She said tbat she lived in Turawl-street, Spitalfields, the prisoner living at Plaistow, but she knew him, aud had at times cohabited with him. On Tuesday night h3 entered her room, and told her that he meant doing for her. He baited and locked the door, aLd tald her to go down on her knees, for only God could save her that night. He stuck a knife into the table, and told her she had to face that. She fell on her knees asking what she had done, and he said that his mother had been to the house afttr him, anl she (prosecutrix) had not told him. That was true. Then he used fear- ful threats towards her, aud told her that he meant to kill her because she had given some tea to a militiaman on Monday night. She denied it, but he still threat- ened to kill her, and after a great deal of talk he took the knife out of the table and stabbed her in the side of the head. He struck at her again, and she put up her hands to defend h?Meif, and the top ef her second ,noMro{thele!thandwMCutoa' When she was bleeding, he said that hi had had his revenge, and, b)eedin; be aMd th?t h? had bad hh revenKe, and, going out, he left her. The prosecutrix said that the priMnor had b?Q in tho h?bitofiU.ueing her, generally by kicking. She had hd to keep him when they were together.—The prisoner was fully committed for trial at the sessions. u_L_< NEW HULe IN THE DIVORCE UOCRT.— AH IMPORTANT new rule came into operation in the Divorce Court on Tuesday. Hitherto there has been a delay of six months between the hearing of a case and making the decree nisi absolute, in order that the Queen's Proctor might have time to iotervene in cases of collusion. Thus the application of counsel for the decree became a mere formality. Yet until this formality had been gone through the divorce was not legally complete. But a good many people, especially among the poor, who are without regular logal advisers, were apt to think that the judge's decision left them free to marry again with. out further attendance at court. There has been more than one case of this kind brought to light of late, where a woman has married after a decree nisi without first having had that decree made absolute. Henceforth the Court itself will guard against this danger. By the new rule the registrar makes out a list of all the divorce cases in which the decrees are ripe for being declared absolute and, having found that no objections have been lodged, applies for the necessary sanction from the judge. In this way Socages were disposed of ontues. day, and suitors .are n9 longer required to fee counsel afresh that a formality, which ought te have been from the first left to the officers of the court, might be gone through. The proceedings neceseary to secure a divorce are still far more costly than they ought to be, but it is satisfactory to note that not only one item of ex. pense has now been lopped off, but that the danger of innocent people marrying again before they are )e?<aUy entitled to do M has been removed.—London £eM. „ DIVORCE CASE —IU the Divorce juivuion on Wednes- day the case of Wilkinson v. Wilkinson and Burton was heard. This was a petition of the husband, a butler, for a dissolution of the marriage by reason of ohe adultery of the respondent with the co-respondent. Answers were filed denying the charge, and the respon- dent prayed for a restitution of conjugal rights. Mrs Wilkinson originally presented her petition, but the suits were now consolidated. The petitioner, who was for many years in the service of Sir William Alexander, married the respondent on July 25th, 1861, at All Soul's Church, Marylebone. There were three children of the marriage. In 1868 Mrs Wilkinson took a house in Warwick street, Pimlico, for the purpose of letting lodgings. Differences arose between husband and wife, as Mrs Wilkinson,.it was alleged, took in as lodgers bad characters, Subsequently they re- moved to Sutherland Place where the co res. pondent, a young man, came to lodge. Accord- ing to the evidence adduced by three women ant) lodged at the house, the reepoodent and co. respondent were often seen together under suspicious circumstances, and lIlre Wilkinson bad been observed to go into Mr Burton's bedroom, and he in hers. These circumstances coming to the petitioner's know. ledge he separated from his wife. It was stated that these proceedings would not have been before the Court had not the Guardiai.a of St. George's parish made a demand upon Mr Wilkinson for the maintenance of his wife aud children. For the defence the respondent was clled.-She stated that she took in bad characters as lodgers with her husband's knowledge, as there was a difficulty in letting the place to respectable persons. He used to dine with them sumetimes, and ride in cabs with them. Burton was a carpenter by trade, and was away all day. She gave an emphatic denial to the charges brought against her.-Geore Burton, the CJ. respondent, was also called, and denied the adultery.— Witnesses were called who lodged in the house, and they stated that they had never observed any familiari- ties between the respondent and co-respondent.—Hi« lordship came to the conclusion that the petitioner had failed to establish his caso. He dism'ssed tbe husband's petition, and granted the prayer of the wife for restitution of conjugal rights, with costs. A FIGHT IN A DiviNa BELL.—A story which must be taken with a very large grain of salt comes from Paris. The Seine, near Choisy-le-Roi, is about to -be crossed by a new military railway, and workmen are employed sinking the foundations of the new bridge. Amongst the men are a number of ill-conditioned vaga- bonds of Italian nationality, and five of them were sent down in a diving-bell under the command of an inspector, who found it nece-garv to objed to the style in hi.h h?ub".rdiM.t.a did their work. The men, however, took it into their heads to resent advice, and thinking 'hat the time and place were favourable, formed a design of making away with the obnoxious inspector. They attacked him with their knives, but met with resistance, And showed as much cowardice as could well he expected from any five men, even in a diving-bell. The inspector, having discomfitted them, managed to make bis escape, and getting hold of the chain attached to the bell, climbi-d up it to the surface of the water, There be shouted for asiistanc>, and was soon gratified bjf the sight of a boat pulled off to his aid. On gttting t > shore he sent for the police, who secured the fivo desperadoes they came out from the b,ll when it w?' hauled up. They had, probably, been counting upon the death of their intended victim, and were somewhat disagreeably surprised to see him alive and well, with the policeman at his back. As for the inspector, the manner in which he ?ff,?t,d a diffi,.I" r?treating movement, and turned the tables u p ?,n hi? :d:is:Dt show tt\haeJ¡bo:t:otkn; I pretty well that they were about when they appointed him to superintend works of a strategical nature.

ATTEMPTED MURDEn BY A rOACHPit.-A shrieking case of attempted uui der by a poach-r occurred at Newtonstewart, N.B., lute oa Wedneslay 1Jiht It appears that about half-past eleven oclick, Ro<«, th" head-keeper at Penningham", tue estate of Mr E. J. Stopford Blair, heard a shot in one of the woods, and on going to see the cause he found an old poacher, named David M'Geoch, with his gun. M Gaocb, when about teu yards off, deliberately raised b's gu", and said, 'Y ou d- 111 shoot you; and fired, aiming for Hes" heart.

Sir Riohard Temple presided, and abive :258 geDtlemen were present, Letters from the ArchbbhJp of Cinterbury, Eirl Shaftesbtuy, and othe" distinguished persons, regretting their absence, were received by the chairman, as was also a cnmplimentm telegram from the Prince and Princess of Wales. The gathering was non-political. The Chairman, in a highly-eulogistic speech, enumerated some of the intel. lectual and moral qualities which bad distinguished Sir Bartle's official career, claiming for him the highest qualities which could adorn the patriot and the states- man.—Sir Bartle Frere in response, said he learnt in be old Indian service to place duty aboTe party and self-interest. III that spirit he had acten, and wou'd continue to act. In South Airica he had witness-d what proved that English soldiers were of the ."me material now that they were in the days of Agiocourt and Waterloo, and our sudors had Hot degenerated from the days of Nelson and Collingwcod. The colon- ists of South Africi were descendants of races of com- mon origin with the races of Northern Europe, and posaetied qualities fitting them to lay the founditicni of a lasting dominion in Africa. H. wished that the colonists were better known to Englishmen, In the native races he recognised capabilities which would enable them, when they were civilised, to tke high rank. They were the meat hopeful of the uncivilised races of the world. He believed that the colonists would succeed in the task imposed on them, and that they were equal to translating to Africa the moral and political image of England. SORRENDEJUD ASSURAKCB POLICIES.—The following appears in the Times' city article of TuesJay :-A. correspondent sends us a curious iostance of the man- ner in which some life insurance oompaniea treat those of their policy holders who find it necessary or desir .\)10 te surrender their policies. In 1874 he states that ha assured his life for £ 250 in the Colonial Assur. oxice Corporation in the usual way. lue policy was or the kind" with profits," and for six years he paid the premiums, which amounted altogether to upwards of £35. Early in the present year, however, he decided to forego the policy, being in some way dissatisfied with the company, and accordingly be applied for the surrender value. After a certain delay the eorporati >n sent him 15s 4d along with an account which set forth the surrender viluf3 as XL 161 4d, and showed a deduc- tion of 218 for a solicitor's fee for "examining the title Naturally indignant at such treatment, this correspond- ent asks whether practices of this kind are ueuil among life companies. We believe they are not. Moat res- pectable companies return at least one-third of the premiums that have been paid on policies a few years ia existence, and some few return more than 60 per cent, on the average. A few companies also compromise with insurers no longer able to pajr by giving thena fully paid- up policies representing sums io a greater or less degree equivalent to the amounts received. But improvements of this kind are in many instances of very recent dat and we feel there are a good many companies who still make large profits out of surrendered policies. They ainnot give back the whole of the money received because they have expenses, current risks, and commission to pay out of it, the last item being with pushing companies frequently a very heavy one, perhaps al much 118 25 per cent, of the first year's premiums. But the proportion returned ought to be far larger than it often is, and should increase with each year that tbe policy is in force, inasmuch that the company or mutual society ia each vear enjoying increased interest returns from the premiums invested. It also gaioe something by the breach of contract, for its risks are by so much reducei. The public should therefore look well into the attitude of companies with regard to surrender values before in. suring their lives. Other things being equal, the com- panies that deal most liberally in the respect are those that it will be wisest to insure in, since circumstances may compel any man to cease bis payments. Tait QUEEN'S BENCH PRISON,-L learn from the just- published report of Her Majesty's Commissioners of Prisons that, in the course of last year, more than persons were thrown into gaol for debt. But the old Bench, although practically a debtor's prison, was not theoretically one. You were arreited, for example, for a debt of £100 and costs, aud when you grew tired of the expensive hospitality of the spunging-house, kept by the sheriff's officer, it was competent for you to sue out a writ of Habeas Corpus (which cost the modest sum of fifty shillings); and your creditors were bouod to bring up your body and how cause why you were k"pt in custody. The Court of Queen's Bench were unani. mous as to the propriety of your being imprisoned until you had satisfied your staining creditor but (looking at the circumstance, perhaps, of your having piid £2 10a for a Habeas) you were relegated, not to the com- mon gaol for debtors (Whitecross fctreet in Middlesex, Horsemonger Lane iu Surrey), but to 'the Bench'— Queen Victory's own Prison,' as Mrs Brown would say. 10 the Bench' you could furnish your room to your own liking, amoke, drink your pint of wine a day, if you were a wine drinker, play rackets in the courtyari, re- ceive as many visitors as you like until eight o'clock at night, and keep your gas burning until eleven. In the old days many newspapers were edited and magazine articles written in the Bench.' The iomates of the place were not all debtors. They comprised Crown prisoners, Chancery prisoners committed for the myste- rious offence of contempt of court,' offenders Against the revenue laws, and persons convicted under excep. tional circumstances of assault or libel. The Bench' in this respect precisely resembled the Parisian prison of Ste. Pllagie, in which M. Felix Pyat will have to pass two years should his appeal from the sentence of the Correctional Tribunal be rejected. But M. Felix; Pyat will be allowed to smoke his cigar, and to drink his claret, and to edit the Ctrtmunt, the law deeming in such a case that the mere deprivation of freedom is an adequate punishment. The law, in fine, recognises an imprisonment which is wholly devoid of ignomy. Now, the Rev. Mr Dale, in Holloway Prison, is not deliber- ately treated with ignomy but, in the mere hot of his being aubjected to the unbending regulations of a criminal prison, there is something perse ignominious. We want a Ste. P^lagie. It seed not be a large one.— G.A.S.' in tue Illustrated London News.
