A notice has been posted , up at Trieste , to the effect that the British Government has entered into a treaty of reciprocity with Austria for the delivering up of deserters from Austrian vessels found on British territory .

The manager of the theatro at Breslau is giving frequent representations of a drama called '' Luther ; " and the peasants from Protestant villages come in large parties to demonstrate , by their applause , their resentment at the Jesuit missions . They sometimes drive up in a procession of upwards of a hundred carts , and take the wholo pit to themsobrea . On a late occasion they filled the whole tier of dress boxes , in thoir frieze coats and broad-brimmed hats .
It has been often asked Jhow the Kafirs get supplied with arms and ammunition ; the following account may throw some light on the matter : —A largo French barque was driven ashore at Fleet , on the Chesil Bank , near Weymouth , on the- night of Wednesday week , laden with must kets and gunpowder ; out of fifteen souls who composed tbo crow only six were saved ; upon being asked whom the vesfiol was bound , it was answered , " The Capo of Good ilopo .

Health Op London During The Week. The Ra...
HEALTH OP LONDON DURING THE WEEK . The rate of . mortality in the metropolitan districts has been nearly uniform during the three weeks of December . The deaths rose to 1042 ia the first , declined only to 10 J . 2 in the next , and in the week that ended las ? t Saturday rose again to 1041 . In the ten weeks corresponding to last week . of the years 1 ^ 42-51 , the average number was 1190 , which , with a cprrection for increase of population , gives a mortality for the , present time of 1309 . Influenza , which , prevailed at the end of 1847 , when in the corresponding week 1946 persons died from all causes , has contributed to swell this average : but without reference to the casual effect of an epidemic , the comparison still affords aratifying evidence of an . improvement in the nublic health . It will be seen that Registrars in particular loqaUti . es confirm this
observation . ; During the last four weeks the mortality caused by zyinotJLp diseases . in the aggregate , exhibits remarkable uniformity ; tlie deaths in this class were successively 207 , 210 , 212 , and ( last week ) 211- In the same times those from scarlatina were 72 , 69 , 62 , and 60 . Of 5 deaths from small-pox , one occurred in the Small-pox Hospital , being that of a female servant from Pimlico , aged 17 years , who died on 16 th of December of " small-pox , confluent ,
unmodified ( 14 days ) , " said to have been vaccinated when 7 months old , at Leominster , by a woman ; no cieatrix . At 338 , Albany-road , Camberwell , a professor of astronomy , aged . 64 years , died on 12 th December of " bilious diarrhoea with vomiting ( 4 days ) , cholera without apasm ( 28 hours ) . Last week the births of 878 boys and 784 girls , in all 1662 children , were registered in London . The average number in seven corresponding weeks of 1845-51 was 1377 . At the Eoyal Observatory , Greenwioh , the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29-318 in .
On . Wednesday the mean daily reading was 28-914 in ., and on Saturday 30-044 in . The mean temperature of the week was 48-5 degs . which is 7 ' 5 degs . above the average of the same week in ten years . The mean daily temperature was about 10 degs . above the average on the first three days , and from 6 degs . to 8 degs . above it on the next three days . On Friday the mean temperature was 49 degs ., and on Saturday it fell to 41 degs . Till Saturday the wind blew from the south and south-west ; it then changed to W . N . W . The mean difference between the dew point temperature and air temperature was 6-4 degs .

Sattteday, December 18. Resignation'of M...
Sattteday , December 18 . RESIGNATION'OF MINISTERS . The House op Loeds met last night . There was a large attendance of the members of the House of Commons in the galleries set apart for them ; amongst others , we noticed Lord John Russell and some of his more immediate followers . The presence of a considerable number of strangers congregated behind the woolsack : indicated great interest in the nature of tho proceedings which were about to take place . The Earl of Lo ^ SDAXE presented a petition from Whitehaven , from a mechanic ' s institute , praying for the free distribution of Parliamentary papers . And then the Earl of Malmesbtjet rose and said , — My lords , in consequence of what took place in the House of Commons last night , with respect to the resolutions moved by the Chancellor of the Exchequer , and in consequence of the unavoidable abBenee of the Prime Minister , who has gone to see her Majesty at Osborne , I have to move that this House adjourn , to Monday next . Their lordships then adjourned .
The Ministry. The Herald Of This Morning...
THE MINISTRY . The Herald of this morning informs us thafc Ministers have resigned . "At an early hour yesterday morning ( says our venerable contemporary ) notices were forwarded to the various members of the Government to attend a Cabinet Council at the Foreign Office , at twelve o ' clock . The noble Premier arrived a quarter of an hour after the time specified , when the rest of the Cabinet Ministers were in attendance , and the result of the division on Thursday night was , of course , taken into consideration . The result of the conference was a determination on the part of Ministers to tender their resignation to her Majesty ; and accordingly , immediately after the rising of the Council , a telegraphic message w ^ s dispatched to the nav < al authorities at Gosporfc , directing a steamer to be in readiness to await tho arrival of the express train that leaves London at three o ' clock . " The Earl of Derby left London by this traia to tender the resignation of himself and his colleagues to the Queen , and it is supposed that his lordship will recommend to her Majesty to confide tho formation of a new Administration to the Marquis of Lansdowne . " So far tho Herald , not always the best informed journal in London . The Times mentions another name . Tho Times points to Lord Aberdeen as the man to fill the vacant post . The Daily News publishes ovidently a guess combination , — First Lord of tho Troasury . . Marquis of Lansdowno Foreign Affairs Earl of Aberdeen Home Ollico and Leader of tho
Commons Lord J . Jlussell Colonies Sir J . Graham Chancellor of tho Exchequer . . Mr . Gladstone Admiralty Mr . S . Herbert Sccrettiry-afc-War Mr . Osborno Lord Lieutenant of Ireland . . . Duko of Newcastle & o . & c . & c . Lord Groy and Manchester are to be passed by . But this guess at a Cabinet agrees both with the statement of the Herald uud the warm recommendations of tho Times . Hut it ifl significant that the Morning Chronicle ventures no suggestion ; showing that whatever share tho IVelitus may huvo in the thickening negotiations , they choose to conceal thoir game . But we may o « k , if Lord 1 ' ahnorston was " master oi" tho situation" a
fortnight ago , whore is he now , and why is hi : forgotten H Ho was forgotten in tho Militia debate which gave ollico to Lord Dirby ; lie was forgotten in tho debate on the address . Ho is forgotten now . But we hear that his gout is wonderfully better now tluit the defeat on tho Budget lias cooled l , ho political utmonphore . Parties must know , if they reflect , that Ito i « an element which will Imvo to be calculated . Lord Clarendon , too , is a nume that can scarcely bo
omitted from any such combination as that suggested by the . Daily JS / aws : . And Mr . Cobden , from the judicious habit of silintcH on the subject of National Defences . ho lias ho recently acquired , may reasonably prefer a rival claim to that , dashing Whig HuHnar , Mr . Hiii'iial Osborno , for tbo vacant post of the Itigbt Hon . W . M- I" < " ' - ° * ' liH appointment , Mr . Bright wonld |» t rii . yniiiHl . or to tho Forces . Of eourne , wo h 1 i » 11 hoo . Meanwhile , what an unpleasant entertainment for her Mnjosty ' H Christmus week—u Ministerial snapdragon !
