The scene is near Auvergne, and this town iB just seen over the rising foreground. The cattle are arranged in three group", one goingaway, another approaching, and one resting; and the move ment of tho figures is admirably shown by the clever drawing and ioMshorienkip of the flock of sheep and oxen coming on ii the middle ground, another of cows and an angry bull nearer, and thOße which have passed and are being hurried on by the girl carrying a basket of live ducks on her arm.

The act stipulated that the stamp (which wa* a fac simile of tho King’s signature) should be affixed in the King’s pro aence. After tbc- act was parsed, the commissioners duly assembled at Windsor Castle for the purpose of stamping the King’s sier ature to the immense arrears of public documents. None of •he commissioners had had any ex perience in using a stamp, and, innocently enough, they commenced with ordinary writing-ink, and made a mess of it. possible specimen of smudge and blotcliwaa produced, but nothing like the King’s signature. One after the other the c< inmi&Bionors tried their hands, the late I’uke of Wellington, who was one, making as great a mess of it na any of the others. At length, with hands covered wi*h ink. and clothes and pocket-handkerchiefs stained. and even fimaa amimred, tho royal ootaftnesUnera were fairly beater, acd inclined to give up the stamping as impracticable, when houio one quietly suggested that perhaps printing-ink would answer better, and of course with the edoption of this hint ended all practical diffi culty.— Court Journal. r— A sale of rare ami curious autographs has just beau concluded at Messrs.

Vital Statistics of 1861. —1 n the year 1861 the births in Great Britain were 802,593, and the iiwtdutiu 497*624, bo that the natural increase was 304,974. This is the largest number of births that ©ver occurred in any year in Great Britain, but happily not the largest number of deaths. Upon an average, 2.200 children were born every day, ®1 an hour; and 1.3G3 persons died daily, or almost one every xmbtite. It id impossible to say how far the natural increase of the population was reduced t>y migration, because there iB no record of the immigration; all thnt vre know is that 91,770 emi grants left the shores of the United Kingdom last year, of whom about 39,000 were of English of Scottish origin. There is in Scotland a rather higher birth-rate and a lower death-rate than in England, and yet a much lower rate of increase in the population, showing that a much larger proportion of the people emigrate either beyond £©&£ or to Ollier parts of the United Kingdom. The influence of season in the proportion of births was, as usual, quite marked in 1861. The greatest number of births always takes plaoe in the first half of the year; last j ear the number was greatest of* all in the spring quarter—April to June. The re turn of marriages is not yet complete for England; the largest number are always in the last quarter; in Scotland, June nnd December are the favorite months for matrimony. The returnsshow, as ever, how much the icbftbitantof the town has to contend against agencies hurtful to life, from which his country neighbor is comparatively free; the differ ence is especially striking in Scotland, where in the town districts 24 persons in every 1,000 died in the year, and only 10 in tho country districts —tWO in tbe country to three in the town. In Glasgow and Dundee very nearly half the deaths were of children under five; and the children in tho3e towns were literally decimated in the year, for, as nearly as can be ascertained without the detailed census returns, out of all tho children under five years of age about one in every ten died. At the Royal Ob servatory, Greenwich, the mean temperature of the year was 49. i deg.; at the Ordnance Survey Ofiiae, Edinburgh, 49 deg. In Saotland, the average of fid stations of the Meteorological Society Bhowed 1,671 hours of sunshine in the year, whioh would have given for four days in every week, eleven hours of sunshine in the summer half of the year, and five m tbe other half. The highest temperature in England was 89 5 in August, in Scotland Bfi 5 in dune; the lowest in England 1 deg , in Scotland 3 7—both in January. England rather suffered in many parts from want of rain, and the total amount Collected at the Royal Observatory waa only 90.9 inches; in Scotland generally the average was 45.07 inches, and in some parts the fall was very excessive; at Tyndrum, in Perthshire, (with tho returns for April deficient.) it was of tho enormous depth of 191 inches, more than 11 feet—n very do= luge. JS6I had its but with the births above the average, and tho deaths below it, it ought not to be counted a bad year. THE CITY. The “Continental Dinner”—The BILL TO BE RAID.—On Saturday in the District (.'oiirl, Jiid<26 SllftHWMd ll&liVfefed au opinion in llto matter of the application for au injunction to prevent the City Controller from countersigning the warrant for tlie dinner given at the Continental Hotel ou the 22d of February. On the nmiu point raised in the bill praying far tli9 in junction. the opinion of tho court is as follows: It is alleged that a considerable part of the appropri ation in question was designed to cover the expenses of an entertainment, viz: eating, drinkiug, aud smoking, provided by Councils for themselves and their guests. On the argument, it was urged that if it was not illegal for the Couucils to provide an entertainment of eating, drinking, and smoking, for the Governor and members of tbe Legislature, that the membors of Councils and officers of tho city could not lawfully pat ticipate in such enter tainment at the cost of the city. It is enough to say that the bill nowhere distinctly al iened that members of Council? and officers of the city ilid in fact participate in tho entertainment provided for by ordinance. It merely alleges that it was designed to cover such expenses. We cam ot say that any such de sign appears on the face of the ordiuauce. It is in words confined to tbe ♦* proper entertainment of the Governor ami members of the Legislature,” as abjact which la no where prohibited. We are asked to declare the ordinance itself invalid, and to arrest any warrants drawn under it, and that without the allegation of any illegal expense 1 avieg been actually contracted or incurred, but merely that such was the design of the ordinance, not expressed on ita face. It is plain that we cannot audit the accounts of this en teitaimmnt. We have it not befoTeus. That duty, as we have seen the law, has devolved upon the Controller of the city, and he is armed with full power for that pur pose. if the construction placed bv tlio complainants upon the 24th section of tho act of May 13,18-36, is cor rect, it wilt be the duty of the Controller, before couu tir.Mgniug any warrant, to scrutinize and audit the account presented with it, and to reject all items of charge for “entertainment, eating, drinking, or smoking” of any member of Council or ofllcorof the city. We are not here called upon to give an opinion as to U'hUhur such construction ho correct. Wa ought UOt iO assume, without authority, to direct the Controller in the proper dischaige of his duties. He is no party to tljir* bill, and any opinion wc might express, being extra judicial, would neither be bindiug upon him, nor could it protect him from liability. Ha rkas Corpus Case and Contempt UK UOORT.—On Saturday, in the Court of Quarter ttemons, a case was heard by Judge Allison, on a writ of habeas corpus, involving the custody of a girl mu© years of age. The mother took out the writ, and tho story, a? told to tho court, established that the relator, who re sided in New York, followed her daughter to this city, after ascertaining that the child was one of the “Seven Sisters,” lately performing in this ciiy in military evo lutions. Sho had been brought from New York, and her mother ascej tainiug her whereabouts, followed her to I’iiilsdflrliin, nv4 procured it writ of kabe&a corpus, w hisk was served upon Mr. Carter, who had charge of tbe troupe. On Friday, when the mother called upon Mr. Carter in reference to the matter, she was informed by Mr. Carter that the child was where neither tbe mother nor the court would be able to find her. This was com municated to Judge Ludlow, yrhp directed Mr. Carter to be taken idto custody. On Saturday morning lie made return to tho writ that at the time of the service the girl was in his custody, but that since that time she had been removed without his consent. • Hiscounsol stated turtber that the wife of Mr. Cartsr had taken the child to Wilmington, and that she had been tefagraylud and instructed to return, aid would probably reach the city in the afternoon or to-day. As it did not appear that the removal had been without Mr. Carter’s knowledge, Judge Allison directed him to be heldiu cii3- tedy until the child was forthcoming. A Protest eroji the Cock Ex- a mnellng of tlio Corn Evolianga Asso ciation, lwiil on Saturflay morning, tlio attention of that body w*as called to a bill before the Legislature organizing “ tho Philadelphia and Eastern Transportation Com pany,” giving that body special aud unusual privileges, which it is feared wiU ojwate prejudicially to the 59m merciai interests of Philadelphia. Mr. C. J. Hoffman presided, and a special committee was appointed for tbe purpose, consisting of Messrs. Geo. L. Bushy, Henry Budd, and James Steel, who submitted the following preamble and resolutions, which were unanimously agreed to: - WTrerecs, A bill (No. 648) is now under consideration at Harrisbmg, entitled “an act to incorporate the Phila delphia and Eastern Transportation Company,” which proposes to confer extraordinary powers upon ceitalu corporators for tho purposes of transportation from •* Phi ladelphia to any placo of placet; in aay State or States in the United States,” Ac., Ac.,and Whereas, TLe powers thus asked for being of a very loose, unusual, and unrestricted character, may, if granted, prove highly injurious to Philadelphia, and tend to convert her into a way station, or otherwise operate to her disadvantage; therefore, Ttsfc the Com Exchange A3nocift'Kon*be lif-ving that the additional facilities for transportation tw« niun uc-rOrO w-wm city are a line or lines of steani thirs to Euiope and elsewhere, rpinjost our mambars in tho Legislature to take a firm stand agatnßt the passes* of the above-named bill, until, at least, its drift and mean ing can be satisfactorily ascertained to be not unfavora ble to tho ibtere&Uof Philadelphia. Sentenced.— A man named Stiles, com icted of keeping a disorderly house at the corner of Race and Eighth streets, was called up for sentence, in the Criminal Court, on Saturday afternoon. An appeal was mado by Mr. Bonham, counsel for tho prisoner, and the plea of slight insanity was set up in mitigation of pum6hment. Evidence ‘was adduced that Stiles came from Rorristown about six months ago; he is a black smith by trade; be paid $175 to John Dickinson for one tonrth of the establishment, and subsequently agreed wiih him to pay 8250 for the remainder. At or about this time, William R. Dickinson, a brother to John, claimed the property. The defendant, Stiles, had consi derable trouble, and he has abated the nuisance. These facts were all urged In miti&ation of punishment. Judge Allison said that this was the worst house of the kind that ever tame under his notice. The evidence of one of witneeees was, that no less than seventy woman fre quented the place during a single evening. Tho defend ant was then sentenced to pay a fine of $5O, and undergo a term of six months in the county prison. J. McCoy, for selling liquor to minors and without a liceiisp, was sentenced on two bills. Total amount of fine $75 and costs, and ten days* imprisonment. Several other parties, for selling liquor without a license, were fined £59 each and costs. The cost in each of these cases is 510.75. Heay School-Houses. The Com mittee on Property* of the Board of School Controllers, ami the Committee on Schools of Councils, have opened tho bids handed in for the erection of the new school houses in the Eighteenth and Twentieth wards. The amount appropriated for the erection of the Eighteenth ward school-house is 57,G00, and for that in the Twentieth ward 813,000. Only one of the bida in ench case was below the appropriation, the bidder being, in both cases, Michael Hill. The bids were as follows: Eighteenth-ward Twentieth-ward house.
