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 .

Benfield , the landlady in Bankside , who saved General Haynau from the mob , but she has disappeared . The manager of the theatre at Breslau is giving frequen } 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 .

On a lato occasion they filled the whole tier of dress boxes , in their frieze coats and broad-brimmed
hats . It has been often asked how the Kafirs get supplied with arms and ammunition ; the following account may throw some light on the matter : —A large French barque was driven ashore at Fleet , on the Chesil Bank , near Weymouth , on tho night of Wednesday week , laden with must ketfl and gunpowder ; out of fifteen souk who composed the crew only six were saved ; upon being asked whero tho vessel was bound , it was answered , " Tho Capo of Good Hope .

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK . The rate of mortality in the metropolitan districts has been nearly uniform during the three weeks of December . The death ' s rose to 1042 in the first , declined only to 1012 in the next , and in the week that ended last Saturday rose again to 1041 . In the ten weeks corresponding to iast week of the years 1842-51 , the average ^ number was 1190 , which , -with a correction 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 gratifying evidence of an improvement in the public health . It will be seen that Registrars in particular localities confirm this observation . During the last four weeks the mortality caused by zylnotic diseases in the aggregate , exhibits remarkable uniformity ; the deaths in this class were successively 207 , 210 2 i 2 and ( last week ) 211 . In the same times those from scarlatina were 72 , 59 , 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 cicatrix . 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 spasm ( 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 Royal Observatory , Greenwich , 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 N . N . W . The mean difference between the dew point temperature and air temperature was 6-4 degs .

Sattjbday , December 25 . The Aberdeen Ministry is constituted ; of that there is no longer any possible doubt ; and on Monday newwrits will be ordered iriost likely for Tivcrton , London , Southwark , Oxford University , Carlisle , South Wilts , and other boroughs . The Times was correct in its statement , yesterday . Lord Aberdeen will be Premier ; Lord John Russell will go to the Foreign Office , Lord Palmerston to the Home Office , Mr . Gladstone to the Exchequer , the Duke of N ewcastle to t he Colonial Office , Mr . Sidney Herbert to the War Office , and Sir William Molesworth toill be a member of the Ministry . We have heard strange rumours that the Aberdeen Cabinet will be far more liberal than people expected ; and the Globe intimates , as is natural in the Globe , that Lord J ohn will restore the " proper constitutional tone to the Foreign Office , and set the people of England right with the people of the continent . But we want to know the programme of measures , now there is no longer doubt as to the programme of men . It is not to be expected that these men would enter into a combination in ignorance of each other ' s opinions , or to c ompromise their own opinions ; nor is it to be expected that they will do what they do in an evasive manner , or in an evasive spirit . The circumstances of the time and the characters of the men warrant us in expecting that their conduct will be guided , both in administration and legislation , by the obvious necessities and the prevalent opinion of the day . It would not surprise us if , bj their weight and onward vigour , they were to crush the superannuated opposition threatened by the relics of the old unleavened Tory party , and extort the confidence of the Radical party . The following list is said to contain the names of all those Members of the new Cabinet whose appointments were made known up to late yesterday : — First Lord of the Treasury . . Lord Abkrdeen . Lord Chancellor Lord Cranwortii . Foreign Secretary Lord J . Kusskll . Home Secretary Lord Palmerston . Chancellor of the Exchequer . Mr . Gladstone . Secretary for the Colonies . . . Duke of Newcastle . First Lord of the Admiralty . . Sir J . Graham . Seerctary-at-War Mr . Sidney Herbert . President of the Board of Control Sir Ciias . Wood . Postmaster-General Lord Claxiucakde .
