The official report says—The rate of mortality in the metropolitan districts, which was shown to have been augmented in the two previous weeks, boa received a great additional increase in the week ending last Saturday. In the first week of November 989 deaths were registered, in tho second 1,021, in the third 1,132, and in the last week of the month 1,279. During the same period the weekly mar• tality of minor aged 60 years and upwards has increased in the following nwnsbers-202, 207, 242, and 277. If corresponding weeks of the ten years 184140 be taken fur comparison, it will be seen that the average was only 1,041, and that with the exception of 1847, when in consequence of the commencement of epidemic influenza at the end of November in that year, the deaths rose to 1,677, there is no corresponding week in which the mortality was so-high as in last week. The average, as above stated, may be corrected fur increase of population, and in this case it becomes 1,145, campartsl with which the 1,279 deaths now registered show an excess of 131. The following table exhibits the increase at three periods of life : Average or ear ...A. in Deatbo 13/ resporwimg weeks 6 77,,, the work of 10 years. war. 0 .6.„ ewthlat last read kw Is. aaturday, cream of pawls w Nov. 24.

As might be supposed from the early severity of the wee thee, the table of fatal causes shows that diseases which af fect the respiratory organs have been mainly instrumental in destroying life. During the last four weeks the deaths from this class of complaints have increased as follows: 148, ICB, 216, and 298. Phtbisi ~ which stands in the tubercular class, produced in the same periods 125, 123, 13.5, and 161 deaths, and limping cough 17, 22, 27, and 34. Phthisis or consumption now exceeds the ordinary amount of mortality. Lest week laryngitis carried off 6 persons, pleurisy 4, bronchitis 131, pneumonia 123, asthma 26, diseases of the same class, not defined, 5. The fatal cases enumerated under these heads amount in the aggregate to 298, while the corrected ge of corresponding weeks is 240. No death has been registered from cholera dunug the last three weeks in the metropolitan districts. On 22u4 November, at 15, Denxell-street, St. Clement Danes, a painter, aged 33 years, died of " slow poisoning by lead during some years, which terminated in syncope. Two persons died of intemperance. Last week the births of 772 boysand 769 girls, in all 1,541 children, were registered. The average number during six corresponding weeks of 1815--50 was 1,314. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean daily reading of the barometer was above 30 in. on Saturday ; the mean of the week was 29.693 in. The mesa tempera ture of the week was 33.8 deg., which is nearly 9 degrees lower than the average of the same week in tea years. Oa Wednesday, the coldest in the week, the daily mesa was &IA deg., or It degrees below the average of correspoading days; and on every other day the mean was from 4 to 10 degrees lower than the average. On Wednesday the lowest temperature of the air was 23 9 deg.; the lowest on the pme 22 deg. ; and the lowest of the water of the Thames, 361 deg. The wind blew generally from the north west.

Yesterday, the coroner's inquest on the body of the murdered woman, Mrs. Cobb, was resumed at the Queen's Head, Tollesbury, having, it will be remembered, stood adjourned till that day. The excitement in the village had in no degree diminished in the interval. There was a tremendous rush for places in the room where the inquiry was conducted, and all the available space in the inn was occupied throughout the day. In fact, all ordi nary business in the village appeared to he suspended. The prisoner Harrington was placed at one end of the table, under the guard of two policemen. Ills demeanour during the earlier part of the day was remarkably calm, though be did not look unconcerned. Though twenty years of age, he is quite a lad in appearance. Ile is of thick sturdy build, rather short in stature, of dark complexion, and of a resolute or dogged east of countenance. He wore a black frock coat, not in very good condition. He was ably de fended by Mr. Church, a solicitor at Islildon. The first witness called was the prisoner's sister, with whom he lodged. Wash, examined by the coroner—On the morning of the murder, the 25th ult., my husband got up a little be fore 6 o'clock, and left almost immediately to go to his work. Coates and his son, our lodgers, went away, I be lieve, at the same time. I got up about 6 o'clock. The clock was striking whilst I was dressing, and I came down stairs about half-past six. I did not go upstairs again till between 10 and 11 • nor did I leave the house. My bro ther left the bona just as I was sonnag down stain. I heard Inn shit tho iir. I did net see kim afterwards that day, bat I saw bias before he went down stairs. He had on a dark plaid coat [this sea. produced], and dark trowsers [also produced]. He had worn these hawsers some days before the murder. I did nut observe spots of ' any sort on his trowsers. There ware three other pairs of trowsen belonging to him. One was a pair of dark tweed ; another was a pair of dark fustian, which hail got rather light by washing ; the other I believe to have been fustian. i He wore them all occasionally. I never observed any spots of any kind upon anrof them. lam quite sure my bro ther, the prisoner, never came into the house that morning after he left. 1 did not leave the down-stairs room before 8 o'clock, and he could not have come into the house without my . seeing him. The window of that room was fastened that morning; it bad not been opened lately to my knowledge. I - did not observe my husband's razor on the window-sill when I came down stairs. The last time I recollect seeing it was on the Sunday before the murder, and my husband was then shaving with it. I don't at all know what money he , bad about him when he left. Mrs. Orrin came to my house t on the morning of the murder about eight o'clock. That r was before I heard the child scream. _ _ Croas•examined by Mr. Church.—My brother, the pri soner, helped to kill a pig about a month or five weeks be fore the murder, and he brought home part of a pig in a cloth, which had been killed a few days before. The cloth was bloody. I washed it. The three pairs of trowsers which he had besides those he wore were found in the house after the murder. Ile had three other coats besides the ono he wore—two were Tweed, and the other was au old black one. These three coats were found in my house after the murder. I did not observe how he was dressed on the morning he brought part of the pig home. On Saturday last I found in my drawer down stairs a white handker chief dotted with pink. It belonged to my brother, the prisoner. Yesterday ( Monday ) I placed it on the table be fore the superintendent of police. Some other person wit= prosent, but I don't know who it was. As soon as they left the house I missed the handkerchief, and I hays nut seen it since. Two handkerchiefs were then produced, one of which was stated to have been found in a field near Saleot, while the other was that which the witness deposed to having found in her drawer last Saturday. They had • general resem blance, except that the one was dirty and marked appa rently with blood, and the other clean, as though recently washed. The pattern of the two was exactly the same : a white ground, with pink dots, and a pink border about an inch wide ; but the one alleged to have been found in the drawer was much mole faded than the other • unlike the other, it had nearly lost the original outline Of pattern. In reply to repeated questions from the coroner, the wit ness said positively that the handkerchief marked with blood was not her brother's ; but on being pressed to state how she knew this, she admitted that she could not have sworn that it was not his had she not found another like it in the drawer. He had only one handkerchief of that pattern. George Archer, a policeman, examined by the coroner— Yesterday, about 1 o'clock, I went with Superintendent Cook to the house of John Wash, where the prisoner lodged. Mr. Cook asked Mrs. Wash how many handker chiefs her brother, the prisoner, had ? She said two, one a blue one ' • that Mr. Cook had taken two blue ones away, one of which belonged to her husband. She added that sho had found the old pink one belonging to Henry in his drawer. She then opened a drawer and showed us the handkerchief now produced, which is similar in size and pattern to the one with blood on it. It was clean, and looked as though it had been recently washed and ironed. It was more faded than the one with blood on it. Before going to the house I had not beard anything about the finding of a handkerchief. Mrs. Wash said nothing more about the handkerchief I have mentioned. I took charge of it. The Coroner (to Mrs. Wash)—Do you know where your brother bought this handkerchief ? Mrs. Wash—No; he had it when he came to lodge with me, which was about last Christmas. George Archer cross-examined by Mr. Church—Mrs. Wash produced the handkerchief immediately after being questioned. Since yesterday morning I have not men taoned it to any one. When given to me it was dry. I cannot say from its appearance how long it had been folded up. By a Juryman.—There were other clean things in the drawer. The Coroner (to Mrs. Wash.)—Why, did you not say, when the handkerchief was produced, that the dots on your brother's handkerchief were scarcely perceptible ? The witness.—Well, the soda has washed out the dots of his handkerchief. . . The two handkerchiefs were here measured ; their sire is exactly the lame. Mr. Dawson (the surgeon examined on the previou day), recalled and examined by the coroner.—On Thursday I ex amined the head of the deceased, by dissection, being as sisted by Mr. Smith end Mr. Tomlinson. The skin and the muscles over the fracture were in such a condition that I think the blow must have been given previous to death. The upper portion of the temporal bone, which is a very thin and brittle bone, was broken into ten or twelve fragments ; not having connected them I cannot state the exact number. I refer now to that part of the skull to which the hammer fitted. The blow on the temple was not sufficient to cause immediate death. I have some doubts—more than I had—as to the hammer being the instrument which was used. I think a blow from a heavy hammer would have forced the bones into the brain. It is possible that the hammer may have done it. The witness here produced a human skull, which he used to explain the nature and probable effect of a blow from tit basasmor. The hammer is an instrument about a foot toad, dadrobaprd at the head, and entirely of iron. `.alit end a hedge stake, afterwards alleged to have bora hurl by the police, were here placed on the table. Th. Amor was a riouty-looking tool, but not otherwise warthy *limitation ; while the latter, the hedge stake, was about a yard long, an inch thick, nearly covered with bark, sad sengistoly broken about the centre, as if from a violent eartasem. inetelination continued—The wounds at the back did not barer the skin. I doubt whether the hedge stake would 'save produced the marks on tho bead ' Had Int be weed, I think the wound would have been laal ettiuseh said If these articles were to be used agaiast the primer, they must be made the subject of regular evi duce. Mr. Dawson's examination continued—lf the hammer was used them must have been repeated blows with it. The extremity of the yoke of the temporal bone was broken. It ispossible that the hedge stake produced may have made such a wooed, but with ex light an instrument the Um most have been given with great force.

The body was not cold when I first saw R After business hours, however, much it. The deceased might then have been dead two hoer. or P more. This would depend on temperature and a variety more confidence was evinced, and prices were in all of causes. In my opinion it is very improbable that the macs quoted higher.

On the at 19i. window sill of deceased's bedroom I found a piece of balk s SHARES AND STOCKS lINCIUARANTEZD. about the size of a finger nail ; it was precisely similar to the bark on the stake.

I was at Tollesbury. At five Se minutes past eight on that morning I went to the house of SO James Cobb, to sell some tea, being a hawker. I tried the IS door, and found it fastened. I directly went to Mrs. I , Wash's house, and inquired whether Mrs. Cobb was out, as I had never before found the door fastened, though I Is had frequently called there as early as 7or 8 o'clock. Mrs et Wash then said that if I wanted her she would call her II but I said I had got two or three places to go to, and I s would call again. I then went to four places, and stopped u about ten minutes at each. In about forty minutes I re- ee turned to Mrs. Cobb's. I tried the door, as before, and IS found it still fastened. I then rapped a loud rap, and directly after I heard a child scream out, saying, " Oh, it: , my mother is dead ;my mother is dead." I then went to e t. see if I could find some one to force open the door. I could is not find any one; and on returning, almost immediately, I leg found that an; Wash had got the key. Mrs. Wash, Mrs. ttl Sampson, and myself went in together. That is all I know ! of the matter. Si The court adjourned for a quarter of an hour. teF Oa the inquiry being resumed, Si. Elijah Bowles was examined by the coroner—He said : I live at Tollesbury, and am a fish merchant. At about half- 20 I past seven on the morning of the murder 1 met Henry liar rington coming out of the gate of the house where he 111 lodged. He had on, I think, a fustian coat. lam sure it se was not a dark one. His trowsers were of a light colour. He was not walking very fast. He was going up the street U towards Salcot. at Cross-examined by Mr. Church—When I spoke to the 1 1 . 1 prisoner he did not seem st all agitated or flurried. He 10 carried his head down, as he usually does. The plaid coat so , produced in court this morning is not like that which the 3 i . prisoner wore. I will not swear that it is not the one he fit wore. I think the one he wore was lighter, but I can't s i t state positively. There was no weapon of any kind in his et , head. so Abraham Foakes, examined by the coroner.—l live at as Salcot, and am • labourer. On the morning of the murder, * about eight o'clock, I was at the bottom of a field a !joining IS the street of Salcot. At a distance of 30 or 40 rods I saw Henry Harrington coming alre.g the field on the foot- 8 71 path. I was going before him, and he passed me in the se path. I said, Morning, Henry," but he passed= and Si-' said nothing. As I hail known him for some tate, I * thought it avenge that he did not speak, but supposed that 1 1 : he might not hear me. lie then went along the path to y e Salcot. As soon as be had passed,' left the field top home a different way. When I first saw him he was past the Si. stile where the razor cad handkerchief were found. We hail generally stopped and spoken to each other when we I st met. I said "Good morning, quite loud enough for him to hear. When I spoke to him he was about half a rod ye, from me. lam sure he saw me. Ile looked at me before he got by me. I cannot say whether he knew me. I was Ili dressed as I usually am. The witness was then cross-examined, but did not vary os from his previous statements. as The above evidence carried the inquiry up to 6 o'clock, at et. which hour there were about a dozen witnesses to be et examined. The coroner had previously intimated that Se even if the witnesses in attendance could be all examined 13 that day, there must be another adjournment in order to *is afford time for collecting additional evidence. Se As the examination proceeded in the after part of the so day, the ptisoner's manner became less calm, and he it. evinced his anxiety by frequently making suggestions to to Mr. Church, and interposing little comments on the en- : 6 , dente.

CHICHESTER, Dm. 2. The inquest on the body of James Martin, the stoker of the passenger train which caused the accident at Ford on Thursday, commenced this morning at the East Sussex, West Hampshire, and Chichester Infirmary, before James Powell, Esq., the city coroner. Charles Burgess, guard to the down passenger train on Thursday, deposed that the train left Brighton for Ports mouth at 9.30 in the evening. John Pemberton was driver. James Martin, the deceased, was stoker or fireman. The train was due at the Arundel station at 10,5. We ar rived one minute after that time. We left again in about a minute. Just on the Arundel station side of the bridge, over the river Arun, the train came in collision with another train. Just before that I heard • whistle. A tremulous whistle would denote danger, and be a sig nal to the guard to put on the break. The whistle he h eard was an ordinary whistle. Pirubcrton gave no signal whatever. Witness was looking for a signal lamp at the time; but the steam from the engine prevented my seeing it. My carriage was next the engine and tender. Immediately after the con cussion I felt the break carriage shivered to pieces, and it toppled over the embankment. Not finding the other car riages mount the carriage, as I expected, I crawled out. Having procured • light, I looked for the driver and stoker. I found the driver a knife in his hand and his throat eat. Hargreaves, the driver of the goods train, came up, and Page the guard. I then found the stoker lying near the boiler tithe engine at the bottom of the embankment. Ile was dreadfully hurt, bloody about the head, and insensible. Hargreaves then called out, " Pemberton has runt° throw himself into the river." 1 ran to the river, saw him in the water, and polled him out. He never spoke to me. There were ealy bur passengers ; and they were not materially Isjwad. I sent for medical assistance, and it arrived in an hour. After we had got Pemberton and Martin into some cottages, I saw the red light. Pemberton, if he saw it, ought to hays shot off the steam, and the stoker to put on the hreake directly. I knew of no regulations as to speed in peeing over the bridge. It use safe as any other part of the line. Our pace at the time of the accident was over 30 miles an hoar. There is only • single line of rails over the bridge. After the accident I saw no hand danger lights. James Hargreaves, driver of the up goods train, deposed that when he went on the bridge he had been shown the " all right" signal ; and after his train had been streets. le saw that the down train had been signalled to " stop." While on the bridge, whams signalled to the down train Is time for it to have stopped, but there was no emention speed, and witness put on all his form for the wpm clear of the bridge before the Awe 11.611 Sage fir ft ‘ ett r i s p a g eadomary to slacken speed before peering the Wipe. This witness attributed the accident to Pemberton ihne• garding the signals. Michael Hickey, signal and switchman at the stated that he saw the goods train coming towards bridge, a green light being exhibited to indicate caution. At this time the red light was as the semaphore to stop the down train. He took • red kand.light, sad went forward MO yards, and seeing • red Ore which be thought wee melded from the 1 dews train, he Wined reend s waved the white light to WWI is the goods We. the as tbs bridge, and he thee lased mewl omit end waved Ids red light to the hews lody es en widdenel deellue= The signal, bowever, woo dinregardod. dw took place.

Two o'CLocx, In the absorbing interest of French affairs, the difficulties in the cabinet are almost lost sight of, though it is presumed that the serious aspect of the Continent had its influence at the council yesterday in suspending personal animosities. The topic in every mouth is the assumption of authority by Louis Napoleon, and it is hoped on the Stock Exchange that as he has succeeded in the designs, which began at Strasburg and Boulogne, his career w illgo on for some time before intestine and external war commences. Notwithstanding the alarm that is excited, there is a constant desire to obtain something like a basis for operations, and, unless the public offer sales too largely, the jobbers have an encouragement for trans acting business, as, the crisis 'ince over, there will be investments, from parties here and on the Continent, which will restore prices. As advised in successive despatches of the E.rpress yesterday afternoon, Consols were at one time quoted as low as 961 to 1. At this rate, however, rather more encouragement for speculative purchases was afforded, and the price gradually rallied. to 97 to 1, the maintenance of order being considered as better secured by the bold measures adopted by the President in the extensive arrests of his opponents, and at this quotation the market left off To day a further tendency to a rally has ma nifested itself, and stock was taken on spe culation at 971 but the price soon afterwards fell to 961, and the market is now weaker again at 971 to 1, and 971 to 4 for the January account. Reduced Threes are at this moment called 931 to 961, and the Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 971 to 4. The following is the official report of the morning's transactions :-Three per Cent. Consols, Annuities, 971, 1, 97, 974; ditto, for account, 974, 1,1, 961, 971 ; Three per Cent. Reduced Annuities, 961, ;,1, ; ; New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cent. Annuities, 974, ..1, 1, 1. South Sea Old Annuities, Three per Cents., 951; South Sea New Annuities, Three per Cents. 961. Long Annuities, 6 5-16. Bank Stock, 215. India Stock, 262. The government broker invested in Reduced Threes, the price made for him in the early part of the day being 961. The unfunded securities opened a shade firmer, in consequence of the rates for money in Lombard street remaining unaltered, but they afterwards re ceded to the quotations of yesterday afternoon. A few transactions took place! in Exchequer Bills at 61s. to 545. prem., but the bulk of the business was at 50s. to 535. prem. Some few parties who have sold stock have purchased Exchequer Bills. The of ficial statement of the transactions is :-Exchequer Bills, 1,0001,505., 045., 508., 535, prem. • ditto, .500/., 515., Ms., 505., 535. prem. ; ditto, Small, 545., 50s. prem. India Bonds, large and small, 645. 60s. pm. The arrivals of specie continue. The Canada, from the United States, has brought over nearly 1,300,000 dohs., or say 260,000/., and the rate of exchange was even higher than last advised. Confidence in the foreign stocks is naturally much shaken for the present by the probability of conti nental dissensions, and quotations arc iii all cases lower, very few buyers being found. As yet this department is extremely unsettled, but Sardinian seems to show the fall most severely. Brazilian are also lower, though the sinking fund is now in operation. To-day's actual business figures are as follows:-Brazilian Old Five per Cents., 95; ditto small, 94, 95; ditto new, 1829 and 39, 93. Chilian Six per Cents., 99. Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cent., 88. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 58; ditto Four per Cent. Certificates, 89, 871. Mexican 24; ditto for account, 16th December, 231. Peruvian Five per Cents., 1849, 89. Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 1014. Sardinian Five per Cents., 77 ex div. Spanish Ac tive Five per Cents., for account, 16th December, 19, 20, 191. French Three per Cent. Rentes, 56fr. Exchange, 25fr. 10c. Attention is of course turned away from the Califor nian gold mining shires, but quotations are not ma terially changed. The present rates are : Agua Fria, 1 to 11 prem. Nouveau Monde, Ito 4 prem. Ave Maria, 1 dis to par. West Mariposa, 5-16 to 3-16 die. Golden Mountains, par to 4 prem.

The firm are understood to have carried on extensive dealings in colonial produce, tallow and iron, and the liabilities are estimated at from 250,0001. to 400,0001. Owing, however, to the house having very extensive foreign connections, it is believed that a large portion of the loss will have to be borne abroad; but the exact character of the failure is not yet known. Notice was to-day issued of the cancelment of 83 bonds of the Peruvian Three per Cent. Loan, amount ing to 22,0001. The cancelment was effected by the Peruvian Treasury between the 7th August, 1830, and the 31st March, 1851, and is in anticipation of the regular operation of the sinking fund.

PROPOSED REMOVAL OF THE IRON RAILING FROM THE WESTERN FRONT OF BT. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL.. —Mr. Barber, the originator of the plan for the entire removal of the railings enclosing the western area in front of St. Paul's Cathedral, yesterday, before the City Sewers Commission, brought forward his motion for taking into consideration the " propriety of the commis sioners renewing their application to the Dean and Chapter of the Cathedral Church of St. Paul's for the removal of the iron rails, in order that a portion of the ground now enclosed thereby might be laid into the public way and paved under the direction of the commissioners." lie said that he had great pleasure in asking the court again for assistance in the matter of which he had given notice in the motion just read by the clerk. Since he had last the opportunity of addressing them he was glad to find that public opinion had been warmly expressed in fa vour of the scheme he had devised, namely, the entire open ing of the western area of St. Paul's-churchyard to:the public. (Hear.) Since that time, also, that commission had obtained increased powers by act of parliament, so that they could now deal with the proposal by treating with the cathedral authorities as to the purchase of the ground should such a course be deemed desirable. He was glad to my that that eminent architect, Mr. Tite, had expressed his approval of the scheme, and so also had Mr. Bunning, the City's ar chitect, Mr. It. L. Jones, and several other men of eminence in the scientific world, including also their excellent and indefatigable officer, Mr. Haywood, the surveyor to the commission. (Hear.) That gentleman had presented a report to the court. The document was read, and, after some discussion, the motion was carried unanimously. TERRIBLE EXPLOSION AND Lose OF LIVE AT DALSPOILD.—The fabrication of rockets for signals, and a detonating mixture for blasting purposes, has, within the last three months, been added to the well-known powder manufactories at Dartford, by a Mr. Edward Callow. The plate selected for this new branch of trade was a lone farm house, called Joyce's, on the banks of the river Darent, and, although in the parish of Dartford, considerably more than a mile from the town. Yesterday afternoon, about a quarter past 4, the town was alarmed by a terrific explosion, which shook every house to its foundation. It was some little time before it was ascertained what damage had been done, because the first thoughts of the inhabitants had been directed to the powder mills, and the works now destroyed were to the majority of the people unknown. It was learned, however, that it was the new works at " Joyce's " that were blown up; and, also, that seven lives were lost, and that two other persons were so desperately iujured that life was despaired of. The effect of the explosive material was precisely similar to that of gunpowder. One man, Figgett, had his head blown off'. A woman's legs have been found. The fragments of the bodies Sr. now lying at the Union-house, awaiting the coroner's inquest. One of the sufferers, a female, was only married last Sunday. The foreman, who is also killed, had only moved his goo ds from Clapham a few hours before the accident; and it is reported in the town that the proprietor had been compelled by the inhabitants to remove his manufactory from that neighbourhood, on account of its extreme dangerousneas. Four men, strangers to Dartford, are dead ; so also are two women, one named Brown, and the other Keropton ; a youth, named Goldsmith, is since dead.
