The weekly return still discovers a high rate of mortality, though some improvement is ohnerved in the Last as compared with earlier weeks of thin month. The deaths in the week ending July 26th were 956; in August they rose successively to 1,019, 1,038, and 1,061 ; and they have again declined to 956. In the corresponding week of 1849, when epidemic cholera was raging, the total mortality rose to 2,458 deathn, more than half of which were the conse quence of its fatal violence ; in the same week of 1847 it rose to 1,057; but, with these exceptions, the number regis tered last week in higher than any of the corresponding weeks of 18U-60. Of the 916 persons who died last week, 502 were children under 15 yearn of age, 262 were 13 years or older but under 60 years, and 184 had reached 60 yearn or upwards. 290 children, whose deaths are now recorded, had not attained one year of age. In the summer returns epidemics are in the ascendant, and this elms now includes 314 fatal cases. Of this number 168 are due to diarrhoea, dysentery, and cholera; next in amount is typhus, which with remittent fever, rheumatic, &e., counts 64 ; small pox and measles number each 16; scarlatina, 18; hooping cough, 21; croup, 15 ; and thrush, 10. Though scarlatina does not spread fatally at the present time, particular families have suffered severely ; and, in the notes of registrars, • court in Deptford is reported where this disease in the malignant form has carried off two children, while a third has also been attacked in the same family, the house being without drainage, and consequently subject to an accumulation of nuisance. The tubercular class in the table of this week is second in numerical importance; it comprises scrofula, which was the fatal cause in 10 cases, tabes mesenterica, and hydroce phalus, which number respectively 14 and 20, and phthiais (or consumption) a hich numbers 126. The mortality from this last-mentioned disease is about the ordinary amount. The deaths ascribed to the diseases of the respiratory organs are 72, those from diseases of thedigestive organs 63, neither of these results differing much from the aver age at this season of the year. Twenty deaths from cholera were registered in the week. The births of 772 boys and 683 girl., in all 1,45-5 chil dren, were registered in the week. The average of six corresponding weeks in 184-5-60 was 1.281. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean reading of the barometer was above 30 in. on 3loaday, Tuesday, and Wednesday ; and the mean of the week wan 29941 in. The mean temperature of the week win 638 deg., or about 3 deg. above the average of the same week in ten years. The tem perature was highest on Thursday and Friday, the highest on each day having been 79 8 deg., and the mean about 68 deg., which is more than 7 deg. above the average. The wind geaerally blew from the south-west. Sealers Flar..—Yesterday, shortly after noon, a fire occurred in Prior Grove, Bolton-field., Brampton, below the hospital for the cure of consumption. Mr. R. Trower, of No. 2, College-street, Chelsea, has a row of first-elan houses in course of erection in the above grove, and indeed they had been completed, with the exception of put ling in the windows, and! some internal arrange. meats. At 12 o'clock the workmen went to dinner as usual, leaving a tire burning on the hearth in the lower portion of one of the houses. The wind get ting op, some of the embers were wafted on to a pile of shavings, which immediately ignited, and in an incredible short space of time, the whole building was in dames. An adjoining house then caught, and speedily shared the tame fate, and when the brigade arrived the entire grove seemed doomed to destruction. 'the engines, however, were quickly got into operation, and the conflagration was at length stayed. The loss will prove rather bi'asy, and it is understood that the buildings were not insured. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. MUSIC. -------- - ----- Last night concluded the season nt her Majesty's Theatre, though there are to he extra rformnnct•s during this week "at playhouse pricer." The season has been protracted this year, on account of the Exhibition, con siderably beyond the usual time—too long, we conceive ; for, when pa:liament has risen, and when the Queen, the court, and the greater part of the fashionable world , have taken their departure from town, it is high time to close what is, par excellence, the fashion able place of entertainment. The concluding night of the season is usually one of the fullest and most brilliant. But this was by no mans the case last night, notwithstanding the high and attractive quality of the entertainment, which consisted of " Anna Botena" with Madame Barbieri Nini in the character of the heroine, and of Ceritu's exquisite dancing in " Ondine." WORCESTER MUSICAL FESTIVAL. [FROM OCR CORRESPONDENT.] WORCESTER, TVESUAY EVENING. The rehearsal last night at the College-hall, which commencod at seven o'clock, was not brought to a termi nation until nearly midnight. A great deal of this time was occupied in rehearsing Mr. Mori's new cantata, " Fridolin " which was directed by the composer himself, who seem e d very anxious (and naturally so) about it. Such of the public as were present—aiid by a good rule of the management, they were limited to a very select few—were delighted with the composition, and it is expected that the curiosity of the public wdl be aulßcieutly canted to lead to a large audience at to-morrow evening's concert, for which it is set down. The non-appearance of Madame Castellan and Ilerr Fornat s at the rehearsal last night led to sonic uneasiness , being expressed; but as regards the latter, it was dispelled by the appearance of the priino basso iu the cathedral to-day, about one o'clock, be having arrived in Worcester by a mid-day train. T o give (WO to the festival the Mayor of Worcester (W. S. P. Hughes, Esq.) gave a grand breakfast this morning to a large party of the residents of the county. Invitations were very freely issued, and, no doubt, but for the unfavour able state of the weather, there would have been at least 700 persons. The day opened with wet however, and it scarcely ceased raining up to the close of my parcel at five o'clock this evening. • '1 h e party at the Mayor's breakfast exceeded 3.10. 'I hey were met in the 11,94.1111)11y-room of the Guildhall by the woi thy Mayor and his lade, and utter a promenade in the beautiful room (which is k e pt in such a state of order as to do credit to the civic authorities), the party proceeded to the town-hall, where a sumptuous entertainment was served up ; after which, the Mayor thanked his guests for their attendance, and the w hole party at once proceeded to the cathedral in carriages: the rain pouring clown very heavily. Considering the state of the weather, the cathedral was well filled, though there was a falling off in the number of In-runs present, us compared with the number present on the first day of the Worcester Festival of 184 S, of about 200. The following return skews the attendance to-day, and on the first day of the last Festival at Worcester in 158: Iftil 148 Ist . scats, nave 4Ol °MI 2wl *cats, west gallery.... 312 Y. :3rd MOM. aisle 4711 lit I Total 1,932 1,117 There were, however, about 'id others pre-cot in the nue whose tickets were not reckoned, they has M.: tt6ien the 3/. tickets for the whole of the performances ut the Fes tival, which are not given up until its close. Contrary to what has been the custom hitherto, there was no intrusluctory overture to the morning service. It has Insai usual hitherto to play the " Esther" overture of Handel, but in the place of it Mr. Arnott performed a vo luntary or the organ on the entry of the bishop and canon, lay clerks, and choristers of the cathedral, for whom stalls were placed at the foot of the orchestra. The whole of the clergy and officers of the cathedral were surplices'. A temporary pulpit was erected against one of the pillars near the middle of the save ; and seats were reserved for the mayor and corporation near the western gallery. Looking from the floor, the whole of the seats in the gallery and nave appeared to b filled, but the western gallery would have held 200 or 300 more. Prayers were chanted by the 11ev. T. Littleton Wheeler, minor canon of the cathedral ; and the lessons were read by his father, the Rev. Allcu Wheeler, the ones:mon The psalms were sung to a double chant, composed by the Rev. W. 11. Havervral, a local composer in great favour here. The pieces and responses were those of Talli<, and their etfeet, albeit there were some few blunders in the execu tion, was sublime, the unaccompanitsl harmonies swelling and rolling slang the vaulted roof of the sacred building with a grandeur of effect not to be produced in any other manner. Th., congregation was devout and appeared to be deeply touched at the solemnity of these responses, deli vered in such a place and upon so touching an occasion. The 'Fe Deans was Handefs—that composed for the Het tingen victory, and which is annually repeated at these festi vals, either at Worcester, Hereford, or Olourester. The sermon was preached by the Rev. Canon Cradock, who took for his text St. John, ix. v. 4, " For the night cornett' when no man can work." Upon this text plain doctrine was preached, enforcing the duty of Chris tians to do good while living, rather than to leave their charities till their death. The collection on behalf of the charity for the relief of the widows and orphans of the clergy amounted to 2921., being only 81. less than on the tint day of the festival of 1848. PRINCE ALBERT'S BlRTlEDAT.—Yesterday his Royal Highness completed the thirty-first year of his age. In honour of the day the bells of the principal metropolitan churches sent forth their peals, and the royal standard was displayed from numberless public edifices. T he various craft in the river glittered in the colours of all nations, and some of the more considerable fired • respectful salute, which was replied to from several of the large wharves on the river. At noon the park and Tower guns were heard booming through the damp and heavy air; and from Woul wich lines Captain Crawford's artillery early fired a royal I salute from a battery of 12-pounders. In the evening the I illuminations were numerous, but robbed of much of their effect by the gusts which incessantly swept across the jets. Pall Mall, St. James's, Regent-street, and Bond-street, were, as usual, conspicuous fur the number and brilliancy of the devices. St. James's Theatre displayed a large star in jets of gas, lighting up a number of imi tation paste ornaments, which produced a very brilliant effect. The Guards' Club-house had an imperial crown, surmounting a star, and the prince's initials, all in gas jets. The Gallery of Illustration exhibited over the entrance a largo star, having the letters P.A. arranged on each side, and in front of the building an allegorical representation having reference to the great event of the year. The Ex hibition Committee-rooms, at 188, Piccadilly, displayed a representation of the arms of his Royal Highness the l'rince on a blue silica ground, with a wreath of laurel in green, amber, and white lamps, shaded with the motto " Prince Albert, the exhibitors' true friend !" At Mitchell's Royal Library, a royal Brunswick star and the initials " P.A.," all in eradiated jets of gas, were seen. The tradesmen etl her Majesty exhibited their customary devices. THE CASE OF THE BARON DE ISont.—The con struction put upon the act of parliament 50th George 111. c. 31, by the judges, having precluded the House of Lord: from hearing the case on its merits, has excited the atten tion of several distinguished members of the legislature, and the matter is likely to become the subject of parlia mentary inquiry in the next session, when Lord Lyndhurst will take it up. In such hands substantial justice cannot fail to he attained. CHARGE OF FORGERY AGAINST A CLERGYMAN.— We (IV. stern Flying l'ust) announced last week in our se cond edition that the Rev. IL P. Hope, incumbent of Leigh, and chaplain of the Sherborae Union Workhouse, had been arrested on a charge of forgery, and remanded until Thursday. On Thursday he was again brought up in custody, and the examination resumed before J. Wood, Esq., and J. Goodden, Eaq., with closed doors, the magis trates haring in their discretion considered it avisable that the case should be beard in private. We are, therefore, unable to publish the evidence, but the following summary of the facts may he relied upon as correct. There were several charges against the reverend gentleman. Ihe first, that on which he was arrested, was preterred against him by MJ. John Bird, of Batcombe, a farmer advanced in years. The information charged him with having forged a bill of exchange for 200!. It appears that some months ago Mr. Hope applied to Bird to join him in an accommodation bill, and, after some time, the old man was persuaded to sign his name to a blank acceptance for 501., leaving Mr. Hope, in whom he seems to have had great confidence, to fill in the amount. Mr. Hope took the stamp away with him and subsequently drew the bill for 200/., instead of 50/. Mr. Andrews, of the fi rm of Manfield and Andrews, Dorchester, conducted the case for the prose cution; and Mr. Phelps, ,of Meare, appeared to watch the proceedings on the part of Mr. Hope. The magistrates, after hearing the evidence, committed Mr. Hope for trial on the charge of forgery. There were several other cases of a similar character against the prisoner, and the magistrate., after hearing some portion of the evidence, adjourned the Further examination until Tuesday ,yesterd.iy). It is sup. posed that the reverend gentleman was deeply . involved in railway speculations, and being unable to eatneate himself from the difficulties by which he was surrounded, adopted these desperate means of raising money to meet hisengage meats. The amount of his def.dcations and liabilities amid to be enormous, but at the present moment it is impossible to estimate their (aunt. We are sorry to hear that several estimable individuals arc liLely to be sufferers to a very serous amount. GLASGOW — AND SOUTIL WESTERN AMWAY.— Traffic for tie week eal.ing Auir. 23 ..-4.923/. 94. Id.; cmc,F.uoluvz week in :ast year, 3,•54)51.4a.110.. RAILWAYS. THIS DAY. Two o'Cioca. This being "continuation-day" in the railway share market, preparations for the settlement of the account have attracted the attention of the dealers, and the arrangements as they progress prove favourable to the stability of the market, as the stock of most lines is found to be scarce, and there are few, if any rates of " continuation" payable. Prices to-day have in most cases been negotiated at an advance, though the full improvement has scarcely been maintained to the present hour. MONEY MARKET. THIS DAY. Two o'etoca. The general feeling in the security markets to-day is one of greater steadiness, as the real character of the influences now at work in the commercial world becomes more plainly seen, and the present condi tion of affairs sinks from the rank of a general com mercial crisis, to which some alarmists have so eagerly endeavoured to raise it, and assumes its proper position in the estimation of the mercantile community as a season of difficulty , merely, calling fur the exercise of an unusual degree of caution. Much more confidence is to-day mani fested in spite of alarmist reports and opinions which have been extensively circulated, and the feeling of uneasiness is wearing off, the more especially as no fresh difficulticsare to-day spoken of. in the Stock Ex change the tone has been decidedly firmer, and prices have attained a fractional improvement. Consols, which left off yesterday 96,1 to 1, both for money and account, have been this morning quoted 96 i toy for time, whilst for money isif to 1 is still the ruling rate. A further parcel of this stock has been taken by the government broker. The prices of the day's business are officially recorded as follows : Three per Cent. Consols, SOL ; ditto for account, 961 7 1. Three per Cent. Reduced, 96; 97. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 981, 1. Three per Cent. Annuities, 1724, 951. Long Annuities, MO, 74. India Stock, 2601. Bank Stock, 216, 215. Scarcely anything is doing in the unfunded securities, but a few sales of Excheepier Bills have been made ut vesterday's rate of dfis. prem. India Bonds, under 1,4)45,!., mark 535. and 565. prem. The foreign stock market is rather flat, but there is no great change in prices, and the depression is , chiefly attributable to the inactive character ) of the transactions. Sardinian Strip is again I marked lower, having been at one time dealt in as low as 11 discount. Spanish Bonds arc weaker, I whilst Mexican are supported. The entire business list of the morning is restricted to the following : Brazilian Old Five per Cents., 1921. Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents., 59!, ; ditto Four per Cent. Certificates, 94 Mexican Snide, 284, I, t. Sar dinian Scrip, 11, 1 dis. Spanish Active nve per, Cents., 20 - 1, 4; ditto Three per Cents., 38. Much anxiety was expressed during yesterday as to several firms, and rumours were freely spread, more particularly as to two houses, a Spanish and a Levant firm, having had dealings with one of the embarrassed houses, but it is anticipated a suspension will bo only temporary. It is very much to be re gretted that in a time of such difficulty the anxiety of the public is increased, and great inconvenience is caused to individuals, by the eager circulation of statements affecting commercial credit. Tho remarks we made yesterday on the failure of' Messrs. Rucker have met stronger continuation to day, the liabilities being now rated at a higher figure and the assets viewed with less confidence. Much difficulty and embarrassment are likely to follow this suspension, as, from the extent and cotnplica tion of their business, ninny claims will be contester, parties eagerly canvassing their liability. The ap pointment of Mr. J. E. Coleman as the accountant for the firm and several of the parties may have some influence in facilitating the liquidation. It is to be hoped that the difficulties which have thus brought down an old and respected firm will be accepted as a sufficient warning. The broker who advances upon produce is led to accept advances him self, and from a touch of the speculative disposition which has led him into overkeen competition he comes to speculating himself. Indeed, a broker's ad vance upon produce is seldom other than the loan of his acceptance, and, by putting another name upon a bill, forwarding it an the way to discount. The end is an undue application of credit, resolving itself into speculations upon the capital of others. 'l•he more closely the broker can be kept within his sphere the better for all parties, for in the many complicated cases which arise there is quite enough legitimate strain upon the capital and responsibility of the broker. If any delude themselves with the idea that the brokers run the risk it must now be pretty well dispelled, for the results show in pretty large figures that the ultimate loss falls upon the mercantile community. In the market for foreign exchanges yesterday sel krs of bills preponderated considerably over buyers, and the quotations advanced in nearly every in stance. Paris alone was rather in demand, and maintained last post's rates of 25.71 to 12 for short, and 25.25 to 271 for three months. Amsterdam was decidedly higher, leaving off 11.181 to 4. For Rot terdam there was at first some inquiry, and an amount was done at 11.171 for 60 days. Ham burg, which had been in demand throughout this month, participated in the upward tendency, and closed 13.81 to 1. Frankfort was offered at 1191, and done as high as 12t), or par—a quotation that has not been reached for a considerable thee past. Bills on Italy and Sicily were dif ficult of sale, and the same was the case with St. Petersburg, ad negotiations effected being in favour of sellers. Madrid and Cadiz main tained previous prices. Vienna and Trieste were hardly saleable, the nominal quotation being 12 florins. Altogether, there was very little money, and a good deal of paper remained unsold. Merchants and bankers appear desirous of keeping their cash afloat, to be provided in case of emergency, which may arise, as timid people apprehend more failures. The prices negotiated were as follows : Time. Prices negotiated. Prom to Amsterdam per S; Short 115.17 ate.... ltd. 17f eft. Ditto kotteretim ri fisasbuti sad Alma 7, 13ntea.aschl. 13mae.

The premises in question ore No. 9, Dond-street, Commercial-road. The officers, on entering the suspected house, proceeded to the kitchen, where they found, in working order, the wooden presses, drying trays, leather and muslin bags, colouring mutters, and all the apparatus and materials employed in the art of giving to exhausted tea leaves the semblance of the genuine product. lkvides a great quantity of raw and partially con verted material, 98 packages of the finished article wero discovered, in a form ready for the market. Neither the eonductors of the process nor the owners of the plant wero discovered, although their early apprehension is expected. The stock and utensils were, however, seized, and con veyed to the Revenue-office, in Broad-street. TuE CuMBOUND 110UsEHOLinfits' ALT, passed during the last session of parliament, has been brought somewhat etLetively into operation in Manchester under the superintendence of the registration committees. Mon day was the last day for claims to lie sent in, and the League Registration Society, on behalf of the free-traders, has given its assistance to about 6.50 applicants in making claims, the greater portion of whom claim under this bill. The only other registration society is one calling itself the Protestant Defence Association, and the number of appli cations they have received is about MO. This makes about 900 persons whose names will probably be added to tho register under the hill, independent of those who will have claimed by direct application to the overseers and otherwise. The names ou the complete register of last year were 11,811, so that the increase will form a large per centago consider ing how ill-informed people are at present as to the scope and design of the act, and, indeed, as to its existence at dl. Eva:o4lva FIRE.—Ono of the moat extensive fires that has occurred in the metropolis fur some time past, broke out this morning at a few minutia before 1 o'cleck, in an immense range of manufacturing premises, situate in .

Having turned down some of the aye streets they came in front of the blazing pile, when a scene of fearful grandeur presented itself, for the whole of the inward building was wrapped in sheets of flame. The various engines of the London brigade West of England, and parish, were immediately set to work from a supply of sniter furnished by the East London company's mains; but iti spite of the utmost 'zealous of the firemen and the vast torrents of water scattered over the blazing pile, the work of devastation continued, and it was nearly two o'clock before the least irnpressim could be made upon to the the fire, and not before the build ., : accidents caused by steun-boa• • •• .0,4 or . ma c on hinery, of the saute, under ape • if e late h i A in aCC , ry e t o l7t t Te t a : m b r el°BvpSoi navig atio n 0 ( : Ili 7 .11: : W1114 . 11i 121 f .) • • ) 0:1 k *,.; , w+• isra• U. 1011.8.
