Following the example of St . Martin ' s in the Fields , the ish of shoreditch has made an attempt , but unsuccessfully to obtain power to raise a sum of 600 ? ., for the purtiose ' of sending out pauper emigrants . It was urged by the opponents of the movement , that the trustees already have power to spend 1000 ? . on emigrants ; and the proposition was defeated by an adverse majority of 79 to 2 , in favour of an adjournment . An important fact was stated at the last meeting of the Early Closing Association , by Mr . Lilwal , the secretary . He said , that at the corresponding period of last year they were in debt to the extent of 300 Z . ; but having since collected 406 ? ., and Mr . Hitchcock having presented them with a similar sum , the result was that , after discharging
the demands upon them , they had a balance remaining of 5001 . He had attended meetings at Leicester , Nottingham , Beading , Croydon , and at other places , and the consequence was that the cause had progressed very considerably in the country . In London a great advance had been made during the past year ; Shoolbred and Co . had arranged to close their extensive establishments at seven o ' clock , including Saturday evening , and their example had been followed by establishments at Knightsbridge , Pimlico , and other places . One establishment in Soho-square was closed at half-past six o ' clock , and that example had been followed by Wilson and Swaile , Hanway-passage . A considerable advance had been made amongst the woollendrapers at Holhorn and Blackfriars-road , and Mr . Peek , of Ludgate-hill ,
had agreed to close at six o ' clock . He referred to other cases , showing that there had been a gradual increase every year of the early-closing houses . But his most important statement was this . "He called attention to the effect which the present desire for emigration must have on the movement . Before the emigration commenced it was impossible to say the young men were free agents ; but now there were more situations than young men to fill them , and if the present circumstances were properly taken advantage of , they must tend to improve their position . " Sanitary reform is only in its infancy . The following verdict was returned by a jury which sat to consider the cause of the death of a young woman living in Duttonstreet , St . Pancras : — "That the deceased Maria Havhard , on the 23 rd day of September , did then and there die , and the jurors do say that the death of the said Maria Havhard was caused by the mortal effects of typhoid puerperal
fever , produced " by the unhealthy state ot the atmosphere of the house and locality in which she lived acting injuriously upon the impaired body and health of the said Maria Havliard . And the jur # rs express their regret that the nursing of the deceased woman was imperfectly performed , and that an effort was not made by the friends of the deceased to procure the attendance of a parochial nurso . The jurors entertain an earnest hope that the vestry of the parish of St . Pancras will promptly exert the legal powers they have at their disposal , in order to improve the sanitary condition of different portions of the parish , and to prevent ; the occuiTcnco of death from causes similar to lho . se which have now called them together ; and the coroner is hereby respectfully but earnestly requested to cornmunicato the above verdict and this appendix to the vestry of the parish of St . Pancras at his earliest opportunity . "

A Dutch engineer has invented a break which , it is said , will instantaneously stop a train . A new sugar-making process has been discovered , whereby the great saving of about sixty per cent , upon the old system can be effected . The inventor is a Mr . Bessemer , of Old St . Pancras-road . Great damage was done to the Tyne soap and alkali works at Newcastle by fire on Sunday . A fierce gale blew all night in the Irish . Channel . Several wrecks took place . The violence of the wind may be guessed when a steamer , which had put into Kingston harbour for shelter , was obliged to return to Dublin , in consequence of the tremendous roll of the sea .
Two houses fell down suddenly on Monday night , on the Seven Dials , and several persons were crushed in tho ruins . Noble efforts were made to save the wounded ; and by these means seven persons were got out more or less hurt . It is supposed that the wall of one of the houses being higher fell on the roof of the other and forced out the walls . An outrigger boat , with four persons in her , came in contact with Putney-bridge on Sunday , and of course turned over . Three , who could swim , were saved ; and one , who could not , was drowned . This is another illustration of the risk of outriggers .

Saturday , October 2 . The question of the moment on the continent is the independence of Belgium . Seeing the strides made by the master of France , the hostilities of his press , and the antagonism of his negotiators , there is nothing wliicli we may not expect . Belgium is : i constitutional state : first offence ; Belgium is required by the Bonapartes to round the French territory , and withheld : second offence ; Belgium shelters exiles : third offence .
By Jesuitical intrigue and priestly coercion , a reactionist majority has been elected ; and , as our readers know , have driven the liberal ministers from power . It becomes a grave consideration whether M . Bonaparte intends to complete his conquest by arms or annexation after the American model . It is a significant fact , and worthy of note , that the Times of to-day enters into speculations upon the probable defence which Belgium could make against an aggression from France .

Mr . William Shaw Lindsay , the eminent shipowner , made a confession of faith at Newcastle , on Thursday . The occasion was the launch of the first of a line of splendid iron ships , intended for the Australian emigration trade . The vessel , which is 1100 tons burden , and fitted up with all the latest improvements , is named the TV . S . Lindsay , to whom she belongs . A dinner took place after the launch , in the spacious drawing-room . Mr . Lindsay presided , having around him Mrs . Chishohn , Mr . . lames Morrison , of London , the Mayor of ( iateshead , and other influential gentlemen . Sir John Fyfe and the Mayors of Tyneinouth and South Shields , filled the vice chairs . Nearly four hundred ladies and gentlemen sat down to dinner . The usual loval and national toasts having been
drunk , Mr . Ifuf , t , M . I ? ., proposed " The Health of William Shaw Lindsay . " ( Cheers . ) "Timid men were desponding , and calling upon the legislature for measures of impossible retrogression ; but men of steady purpose and sagacity did not budge an incli in this emergency . They pushed forward with more prudence and circumspection , indeed , but with more spirit and resolution than ever . If they found one avenue closed ugninsl ; them , thev carved out other avenues of . success to themselves . ( Applause . ) If the old wooden walls , from circumstances lo which he need not advert , did not hold out tho name pmspecls of success as formerly , they turned toother and newer materials of construction .

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK . Last week 1077 deaths were registered in the metropolitan districts . There is an increase on the return of the preceding week , when the number was 913 ; but- this is chiefly due to coroners' cases , many of which occurred at previous dates , but were not registered till the end of the quarter . In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1842-51 the average number of deaths was 1042 , which , with a correction for increase of population , becomes 114 C . Fatal cases produced by epidemic diseases amount in the present return to 271 , nearly the same as in the previous
week . The mortality arising from measles at the present time is unusually low , only two and five cases respectively having been registered in the last two weeks . Scarlatina , however , makes progress , as is shown by the steady increase of deaths referred to it since July ; the numbers during the last 8 weeks were : 38 , 47 , 49 , 51 , 53 , 58 , 67 , 83 . _ In a case that occurred at 14 , Dean ' s-place , Vauxhall-bridgeroad , the cause-of death is entered thus : " malignant scarlatina ( 3 days ); imperfect drainage . " Diarrhoea , which continues to decline , was fatal last week to 61 children and 11 adults ; cholera , to 7 persons ; typhus , remittent fever , &c , to 45 . 1
Last week the births of 847 boys and 793 girls , m ah 1610 children ^ were registered in London . The average number in seven corresponding weeks of the years 1815-51 was 1360 . At the Royal Observatory , Greenwich , the inean height of the barometer in the week was 29-873 in . The mean dail y reading was above 30 in . on Wednesday , Thursday , Friday , and Saturday . The mean temperature of tho week was 54-3 ° , the same as in the previous week . On Tuesday the mean daily temperature was only 49 ° , which is t > -9 ° below the average of the same day in ten years . The wind was for tho most part in the south-west .
