The cftse of Lumley versus Gye , known as the Wagner © ftse , carne on for argument yesterday , and will be continued td-day . Otorgd Stone , the Bristol poet , has been robbed of his hard-earned savings , amounting to 352 . He had refused to put the money in the bank , being fearful it would break . < f 0 to ^ 6 e 9 ier journal . The new Qrinnell Arctic expedition , which is shortly to proceed in search . Of Sir John Franklin , is to be commanded by tit . Kane , an officer eminently qualified for the task . We hare before us an official account of a railway accident which happened on Tuesday :- — " An accident occurred on the South Eastern Railway yesterday . The 12 . 30 p . m . train for Bamsgate left London at its proper time , but
when within two miles of the Penshurst station the whole of the train , except the engine , ran off the rails . Twelve passengers received cuts and bruises , but , fortunately , none of a serious nature . By means of the electrio telegraph assistance Was quickly procured , and the passengers , with the exception of one who was conveyed to Tunbridge , were transferred to other , carriages , and the train proceeded to Bamsgate . A careful examination of the rails has been made , put no defect could be discovered ; the cause of the Carriages getting off the line , therefore , yet remains to be Ascertained . " It is carefully done , is it not P How comforting to the " Twelve , " to" have an official record of their " cuts and bruises I "
Two trains met at a ballast hole on the Midland railway on Tuesday . One was a ballast train , the other a luggage train . Instead of passing each other civilly , they , as is but too often the custom , on railways , as it used to be in the streets before gas and police were invented , ran into each Other . The ballast engine had only got on to the main line when the luggage train came up , and was turned over b y ballast engine . The goods vans were smashed to pieces , and the property strewed Over the line . No bones were broken or life lost . Variety in the way of flre is not of common occurrence ; a ship on fire in dock for instance . But on Monday flames Broderiokl in the Canal
burst from the , ying Regent s basin , Limehouse . An attempt to scuttle her was made too late ; tod the fire was not extinguished without the aid of the powerful London brigades working for many hours . A policeman fell into the water ; the firemen saved htto ; but another man fell in and was drowned . "Wilton Abbey , the residence of Mr . Sidney Herbert , was found to be on fire on Sunday morning . Assistance came quickly from the labourers on the spot , and from the town of Salisbury near at hand . It was soon extinguished , and little damage was done . Herrings , of an unusual size , have just been imported from Norway . This is a novelty .

We find the following in the Hampshire IndtpehdeHt 6 t Saturday : —• " General Hosae , the ex-Dictator of Buenos Ayres , has presented Mr . P . W . Nives , hair-dresser , of Bernard-street , who has professionally attended upon the General since his residence in Southampton , with a silver shaving-basin , or perfumed water-dish , on which is neatly engraved the following inscription , — ' Presented by his Excellency General de Bosas to & W . Nives , as a testimony of regard . Southampton , 25 th of December , 1852 . ' Accompanying it was a letter written by the General , in is translation South
Spanish , of which the following a : — - ampton , Dec . 36 , 1 S 52 . Dear sir , —Be pleased to accept of this shaving-baain ; its chief value or merit consists in its having accompanied me in all my campaigns . It was manufactured at Buenoa Ayres . it is more for use than grandour , and may serve you as a remembrance of your visits to me , and be convenient in your duties . —Acoept of the sincere affection of your faithful sorvant , Juan Manuel oe Sodas /" In the window of a goldsmith ' s shop in Bernard-street , Southampton , there is exhibited a water-bottle made from the clay round at the Australian gold diggings . The elay ia of a much darker colour than that from which water pitchers are made in this country . The bottlo is shapely , but it is neither glaaed nor ornamented . On a close inspection several minute specks of gold are observable on the surface of the bottle .

The Quarterly Beturn of the Registrar General has been published , and comprises the birthB and deaths registered by 2190 registrars in all tho districts of England during the autumn quarter endi % December 81 flt , 1852 : and tho marriages in more than 12 , 000 churches or chapels , about 3343 registered places of worship unconnected with tho Establi shed Church , and 024 Superintendent Registrar's offices , in the quarter" that ended September 30 th , 1852 . The registration of tho year 1852 is eomploted , for tho births and doaths , by tho present return . Tho births wore 616 , 261 in 1861 , and 824 , 171 in 1852 . The deaths were 605 . 033 in 1851 , and 407 , 938 in 1862 . The average 1 in
annual rate of birth ia 3-282 per cent ., or nearly JO . In 185 . 2 it rose to 3-472 percent ., or 1 in 20 . The average annual rate of death it fcJ-242 per cent , ( rather less than 1 in 45 ); in 1852 it was 2 * 269 , or Bliglitly above tho avorago ( 1 in 44 nearly . ) 70 , 582 persons Were married in tho quarter ending September 1852 , pivinff a considerable oxcess on the numbers ( 74 , 310 ) married in tho corresponding quarter of tho provious yoar . Tho number of marriages was 38 , 291 , while in tho summer quarters of 1840-3 the number of marriages neve exceeded 29 , 307 , and in 1842 fell ho low as 27 , 288 ; irt the summer of 1844 there was a sudden increase , and in the summer of 1845 the marriages wore 35 , 003 ; in VB 47-8 the numbers fell back to 82 , 489 , and rose slowly until ike Bummer of 1849 ; in eaflt W ttte thrto guoceeding
summers ( 1850-2 ) the marriages have not been less than 87 , 155 in number . Nothing probabl y indicates more accurately than these figures the condition ; of the people , or the view which they took of their prospects in life during the last eleven summers . ., 162 , 066 births were registered in the last quarter of the year , whereas the numbers in the quarter ending December 1851 , were 149 , 155 . The births registered in London , in the West Midland counties , and in Yorkshire , increased ; in the other divisions the numbers scarcely exceeded those in the previous year .
As the births in the quarter were 162 , 066 , the deaths 99 , 946 , the natural increase was 52 , 120 . The number of emigrants who sailed in the quarter from London was 12 , 322 , Plymouth , 1676 , Liverpool , 41 , 317 ; from the three English ports , 65 , 315 . The total numbers who sailed from the ports of the United Kingdom at which there are Government emigration agents amounted to 57 , 913 . Many who Sailed from other ports are not in the return , and ft i s we ll known that a large proportion of the emigrants who sail from Liverpool are by birth Irish . At present it is probable , taking all circumstances into account , that the emigration fronr England ia not equal to its natural
crease . The number of emigrants who sailed during the year 1852 from the ports of the United Kingdom at which there are emigration agents , amounted to 360 , 647 , or certainly not l ess , taking the year through , and other ports into account , than 1000 a day . 99 , 946 deaths were registered during the last quarter of the year 1852 . In the corresponding quarter of 1851 the deaths were 99 , 248 . The annual rate of mortality in the last quarter is at the rate of 2 * 197 per cent ., which is higher than the average rate , or than the mortality in the corresponding quarters of 1842-45 , in 1848 , in 1850-61 , but much lower than 2 . 545 and 2 . 389 , the rates of mortality in 1846-47 .
On dividing the country into two large divisions , the first of 117 districts , comprising the chief towns , and a population of 7 , 796 , 882 , the second of 506 districts , having a population of 10 , 126 , 886 , it is found that the mortality in the town districts was , during the quarter , at the rate of 2 * 514 per cent , per annum , which is below the average ( 2 * 579 ) , while the mortality in the country districts was at the rate of 1 * 982 per cent , per annum , or somewhat above the average of the corresponding quarter ( 1 * 941 . )

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK . A thousand and eleven deaths were registered in London in the week that ended last Saturday . This return exhibits a very inconsiderable increase on the previous three weeks . In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1843-62 the average number was 1068 , which , if raised in proportion to increase of population , would give a mortality for the present time of 1175 . The deaths of last week are therefore less than the estimated amount by 164 .

ModehN Amazons . — We live in an age when too many women appear to be ambitious of morally unsexing themselves beibre society , by aping the language and tho manners of men—especially in reference to that miserable modern dandyism of demoanour , wlricli aims at repressing all betrayal of warmth of feeling ; which abstains from displaying any enthusiasm on any subject whatevorj which , in short , labours to mako tho faHhionable imperturbability of tho faco , tho faithful reflection of the fashionable imperturbability of the mind . Women of this exclusively modern order liko to use slung expressions in their conversation ; assume a bastard-masculine abruptness in their manners , a hns- t
tard-mnsculine licence in their opinions ; a ( lec , to ridicule those outward developments of feeling which paw under the general appellation of " aontiinenfc . " Nothing improsHOH , agitates , amuses , or delights them in a hearty , natural , womanly way . Sympathy looks ironical , if they over show it : lovo soems to be nu affair of calculation , or mockery , or contemptuous Biiilbranco , if thoy over feel it .
