Mary-axe , corn and seed merchant . The petitioning creditors are Messrs Laugh ton and Laughton , shoe manufacturers , of Leadenhall-street . The matter was balloted to Mr . Commissioner Goulburn . Paul has been a bankrupt twice before—in 1827 and 1837 .
The Bishop of London . —Dr . Tait , the new Bishop of London , took the customary oaths in the Court of Queen ' s Bench , last Saturday . The Rev . W . H . Milman , Librarian of Zion College , and son of the Dean of St . Paul ' s , -will , it is stated , be Archdeacon Hale ' s successor at Cripplegate .

Several clerks and ¦ visitors have been taken into custody , and the ledgers carried away . Alarmed at these indications of a hot campaign , the proprietors of some of the other houses have prudently closed their doors . Steps have also been taken to abate the nuisance arising from the large gatherings of disreputable women and their followers in the streets at an early hour of the afternoon . —Some keepers of betting-houses were on Wednesday fined by this Marlborough-street magistrate in various large sums . ¦
Health- of London .- — The deaths registered in London , which in the two previous weeks had been 1135 and 1171 , rose in the week that ended last Saturday to 1216 . In the ten years 1847-56 , the average number of deaths in the weeks corresponding with last week was 1177 . But , if the deaths of last week are to be compared with the average , the hatter should be raised proportionally to the increase of population , in ifhich case it will become 1295 . Hence it will be seen that , although the rate of mortality has been rising lately , it js still below the average . In comparing the results of the last two weeks , an increase is observed in
the deaths of old persons ; for , whereas 41 inen and women , who bad attained the age of 80 years or upwards , died in the former week , the number last week was 74 . In these 74 old persons , an unusual number of nonagenarians is found , namely , 14 ; a . man and a " woman were each 95 years of age , and the two oldest were -women who had reached the age of 96 years . — Last week , the births of 904 boys and 885 girls , in all 1789 children , were registered in London . In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1847-66 , the average number was 1553 . —From the Registrar GeneraVs Weekly Return .
Tjhk Princess Hohenlohk and her daughter have arrived in England on a visit to the Duchess of Kent . Incumbency op St . Jamks ' s , Clerkejtwell . —The Lords Chief Justices of Appeal have decided that the right to present to this incumbency has not been affected by the Local Management Acts ; that tho Rev . Eobert Maguire has been improperly elected by the vestry ; and that the vestry must be restrained from presenting him to the Bishop of London for induction or license . A fresh election will now bo mado by the general body of parishioners ; and it is said that there arc several candidates ready to tako the field . _ Thrbb Women have been frozen to death in the snow m tlie county of Forfar . A- Mercantile Law Conference , under the prew ^? - 3 ° S Lord Brou g"am , was held on Wednesday at Willis's Rooms , St . James ' s .
The Bibhoi > or Oxford ani > ma Clekoy . — The beiwuced clergymen of tho diocese of Oxford met on Thursday at St . Mary ' s Church , Oxford , at twelve o clock , to elect a proctor in tho Lower Hoxiae of Convocation , in the place of tho late Professor Hussoy . Tho «• V ° , Oxford Presided . Considerable opposition was offered b y tho K « v . Thomas Curmo , M . A ., vicar of Bradford , Oxon , and domestic chaplain to the Duke of Marlboroutfh , who objected to tho constitution of the Bynod , nnd thought ( as ho subsequently explained ) that tho Bishop had ri to
no moro ght interfere in an election lor the Lower Houao than a temporal peer in tho elcctiona lor the House of Commons . Tho Bishop said ho could mot allow any ono to apeak till tho synod wna fully constituted . But Mr . Curmo still endeavoured to proceedon which tho Biuhop directed tho registrar to Bond for a policeman . The matter , however , was settled without that apostolic functionary , tho Biwhop consenting to liear ^ Mr . Curmo when the synod was properly constituted . Subsequently , tho Biahon said Mr . Curmo could not protest till after the proceedings had closed , and Mr
Curme refrained from pressing the matter further at that time . The election then took place ; Mr . Lloyd , one of the Bishop ' s chaplains , being chosen by a large majority . Mukdek by A Maniac . —Ensign Pennefather , of the 40 th Regiment , stationed at Melbourne , Australia , has committed a series of outrages of a most horrible character . He suddenly rushed out of his room with a sixbarrelled revolver in his hand , shot Ensign Keith , then
Dr . -M'Cauley , then Ensign . Lucas , who ran forward to -wrest the pistol from him , and finally himself . There appears to be no doubt that he was in a maniacal state . Dr . M'Cauley w » b shot dead at once ; Edsigns Keith and Lucas are is a dangerous state ; and the assassin himself shortly afterwards died . He had been an . invalid for some time ; and a change in the weather seems to have nad a bad effect on him . There had also been a review that morning , and it is thought that this excited him .
The WiuCi op Mr . John Kkjjyon . —Mr . John Kenyon , who died on the 3 rd ult , left the following liberal bequests to personal literary friends : —To his cousin , Elizabeth Barrett Browning , 4000 ? ., and . to her husband , Koberfc Browning , 6500 / . ; to Biyan W .

Imperialism In Italy. Catherine Of Russi...
IMPERIALISM IN ITALY . Catherine of Russia , when , she made a progress through any part of her empire , was duped by a perpetual series of stage effects . USTo such , illusion has "been found possible in Italy . The Austrian Emperor has been confronted by the scowling discontent of the Venetian and Lombard populations . He has conciliated no good-will , enforced no respect . Though the official Gazette of Milan , printed in imperial blue , records the ebullition of joy
and loyalty that greeted Fhancis-Joseph , neither Italy nor the Emperor can hare "been deceived . The Emperor broke down , in the delivery of his speech to the municipality ot * Milan . Ministers and councillors sought to hide his confusion ; the police endeavoured to suppress the satirical criticisms that glanced from tongue to tongue ; but the mishap was irretrievable ; the Austrian rule had always been hated ; the Austrian rulor was now ridiculed . " We are governed by « i ninny , " said the Milanese .
The Emperor ' s reception in Italy has been purely official . The King of Naples , inspecting a state prison , would be welcomed by its officers with demonstrations of loyalty ; the prisoners might be curious to see their principal gaoler , and would not dare to manifest their hatred . Exactly parallel have been the circumstancesof the Austrian visit . A German bureaucracy , taking precedence of the Italian nobles , crowds round the Emperor ; the functionaries crook their knees and applaud him ;
the municipalities levy a tax of light to illuminate the cities ; but Italy herself stands sullenly apart , and , on the day that ITbanois-Joseme enters Milan , a Lombard deputation presents a statue to Piedmont , and a subscription for the guns of Alessandria . Nor can the police prevent tho circulation by myriads of a lithograph representing a wreath of death ' s heads . Even among the ilowersof a triumphal arch a chauletof skulls is p laced ,
by night , that a Kaiser , king of men , may understand how his representatives have been whitening tho sepulchre . There was not only an utter absence of onihusiasin from Venice to Milan , there were displays of national animosity . 11 ; is vain to hope ' that the general amnesty will convert Loinburdy to wi Austrian nllcgiainco . , It has come too late ; it is a mockery ; tho amnestied persona are not relieved from surveillance ; tho police mny , at ; any moment , reclaim them . No Imperial concessions can now stifle tho cry lor national independence . Every
