Mors the Daily News.) The officer of health of the City of London has just sent in his second &nasal report to the Honour able the Commission of Sewers of the City of London. Even if unable to report the good dons under his direction, and appeal to the direct advantage of his appointment to the health of the City, still nothing Is more calculated to command attention to sanitary evils than those eloquent productions of the City siker of health. Although his forcible pictures of Amass and its attendant evils, and clear enunciation elf the means of its removal, are addressed to City SOlMllliosionero, and illustrated by City facts, than is not as extmerban vestry in the metropolis, or &corpora tism is the kingdom, that might not consult this docu ment wit h advantage. The evils still exist ing in the City of London exist also in Whitethapel, in Spitalfielde, in St.Pancras,in Marylebone, and in Westminster. There is, however, a difference, and it is in this : that, whilst in the City they have employed • medical officer, through whose suggestions many improvements have been I made and many lives sired, in the other parishes no inch officer has been appointed, and they remain with the causes of disease almost as rife as they were before the last pestilence alarmed the government and the parochial boards into the protases of a removal of the ceases of disease. One of the first fasts refereed to by Mr. BISON is the mortality of the City of Loudon from the 30th of September, 1849, to the 28th of September, 1850. It appears that 2,752 persons died in that period in a population of 125.500, being about twenty-two deaths , for every thousand living peewee. This is • ratifying 1 decrease upon the mortality of the year previous, the Autism year, when the number of deaths were thirty in every thousand. How great a decrease Nis is on years before 1849, Mr. Smote is sot able to im, but he inclines to think that it is considerably Wow the average. We have often pointed out how daageroas it is to infer from a few years' damsa of mortality that the tendency to disease is diminishing. Is this cam, as in so many others where coincidence is likely to occur, we must look for a militant cause ter the diminished mortality, is order to infer that it is permanent. Thus we believe that in many dis- Iris% the decrease of death has arisen from the abiders having carried off the weak and aged, and Qom otherwise predisposed to disease, who, had they lived, would have swelled the bills of mortality this year. Aa opinion that often paralyses all exertion in knee of sanitary retinas is well met by Mr. Sinoo in this report. It is very common for people to think that shortness of life and liability to excessive morta lity is what a man most pay for the advantages et ' living in a civilised community with all the privileges of a town life. He quotes • district in Northumber- I land as the healthiest in the kingdom, where esly thirteen persons die in the thousand. This is inesifestly attributable to the absence of the come at Armes, bat to *hew that this mortality is not the envied position alone of a rural district far removed, hem the elegem to which the inhabitants of • tows lib ore sqesed, he points out that actually in the' retires of the ni.rth west sub-district of the City of London union the deaths for the last year amounted to only thirteen in the thousand. It appears from this report as well ea those of the Beaistrar from week to week, that by far the greater amount of death is from preventible diseases—from diseases some of which, such as typhus, never moor at all in healthy districts; and others, such as measles and scarlatina, which are seldom or ever fatal, where proper precau tioas have been taken to secure health . - The disease which of all others seems to be most under human control has during even the put healthy year had a double mortality in the City of London. This is small pox. We have boon severely reprehended for re meameadieg sompuleary vaccination. Are not people 1 to be allowed to die as they please ? Certainly not. A men taken is the fact of committing suicide is coo- I veyed to the police station, and punished for hie wickedness. We think this is just to the man and the community, and surely the same principle will apply to persons who wilfully subject themselves and 1 their ottspring to so fatal a malady as small-pox. Bat if the government is not to interfere, surely this is a subject for philanthropic societies or individuals to take up. In his statistical accounts of the number who have died in each parish Mr. SIMON states that he is unable to give the exact population of these parishes, so that his figures are really of no use. This is a deficiency which surely could be easily supplied. When the deaths from cholera are stated to be fifty in • given district, it is very evident that the num ber Is of no value as it stands only as an indica tion of the existence of the disease in • particular quarter. Mr. SIMON has, however, pointed out a vary important fact with regard to cholera, as the m asked the examination of the districts in which this dhow was most fatal. He shows that in every case it was connected with a " peculiar condition of soil, of which dampness is one sore and invariable charac ter, and organic decomposition (promoted by damp ness) probably another." In the districts which for merly formed the banks of the river Fleet, and whisk were composed of much such mud banks as those of the Thames in London at the present day, there sow I stands a mass of homes, in most of whh cholera me w most rife. The same is true of another district, be- ' tween Aldersgate and Bishopsgate, which STOW de scribes in his time as consisting of " • moorish rotten ground, impassable but for cawswaies purposely made to that intent," and known by the name of Moorfields. Such seems to be the soil most favourable for the do ' I velopment of cholera. Dr. Kura, one of the local superintendents of the Board of Health, after • strict investigation sod large experience of the disease, has come to the same conclusion, that soil has, more than say other local circumstance, an Memos on the IFseof cholera. vtg dwelt upon the mortality of London, the molar proceeds to consider the owes and the pre med and s' of endemica lludes disease to the present im . Under the bead of Fthe esse truction of sewers, and addresses himself (seedon of the use of disinfeetieg or deo dorisimgegeate.

Meanwhile, the illbarvested new wheat, particularly that grown on the fen-lands of so Lincoloshim and Cambridgeshire, where the crop was SO badly lodged early in the season, was as much inferior an 73 the best samples from the home counties exceeded espee- ,„ 727 Cation; and quotations, therefore, rioted any wide; some tl of the worst lots not producing over 30s. to 32.. here, and el correeponding rates to the growers. Sines berme prices Pt have occasional y risen le, to and again receded ; but on 15 the whole the tendency hes been downward., and the best t o rune of red are at present obtainable at 42.. to 43, ., and for ;I white 435. per qr. may be regarded as an extreme quota tion. Prices of ail hind, of 'pries corn were beaten down to • eery low point by enormous importations of foreign 131 during the spring and the early part of the summer.

When, however, it became known IL that the Lent-sown crops would probably prove indifferent on I s : the continent of Europe, as well as In England, quotations gradually edeethed, and there have been but few cheeks to go the upward tendency since May. Forties grinding barley $0 now reties from 20e. to 23'., and moderately good feed oats to from 170. to 20s. per qr. The foregoing will, we trust, raffia to give our friends a safficiently clear view of the ladies change& that have taken et place during 1850. That the year has bean unprofitable to le them engaged is the caltivauth of the soil, admits of no rt question • and we fear that the profits of others have Wen if considerably curtailed. 17 The arrivals of wheat oosstwlee into London have lama on l l' • much lens liberal scale than last week, only 3,010 qrs. having been reported up to this (Saturday) evening. 0 wing ei to Christmas, we have had only one day for business at Mark-lane since Monday, and the transactions have been 10 altogether unimportant. to Foreign wheat has oome to kind pretty freely, 10,615 gee. se having sgaia been received this week, which, added to what remained unsold of previous supplies, afforded an ample s display of samples for Friday's market.

The market for the home funds is rather dull to day, with a very insignificant amount of business, the only feature of interest in the Stock Exchange being the final adjustment of the fortnight's accounts in shares now in progress, which engrosses the earnest attention of those concerned. Console have been quiet all day at the closing quo tation of yesterday's market, 981 to * ex div. for the Nth January. The Reduced Three per Cents. have besa operated in to a small extent at 97 and ; and the New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., at:9Bi and . Long Annuities, 1860, mirk 71; ditto 30 years, 1859, 74. Bank Stock, 213. The sales of Exchequer Bills and India Bonds, which have been going on for some days past, have, for the present at least, ceased, and the market for this description of security wears a somewhat firmer aspect, though priors can scarcely be said to have rallied. Transactions are reported in Exchequer Bills, small, at 58s. and 625. prem.; and in India Bands, under 1,0001., at 79a. prem. In the foreign stock market, the adjustment of the account falling due this day has formed almost the only feature of business. With the exception of Maxims Bonds, scarcely ` transsetiom has °warred in say description of stock, attention being at present quite diverted from this department of the " house." Prices, however, may be considered unchanged. The official list reports business in the undermentioned securities only :—Dutch Tern-and-a-Half per Cents., 59. Mezioen Bonds, 34i, 4, ; ditto for the 15th Jan., 354. Spanish Active Five per Cents., 174 ; ditto Three per Cents., 394. An event has occurred that will create some stir amongst the Spanish bondholders. Some of these gentlemen, holders to a considerable amount, have succeeded in issuing an attachment against the money Lodged in the hands of Messrs. Martin, Stone, and Co., for the payment of the dividende, which were to commence on Thursday. The amount of the attachment being a considerable portion of the whole sum, may cause some embarrassment to the gentle men of tilt Spanish financial clmmittee. The adjudication of the French Benter still con tinues to attract much interest on the Stock Exchange. Not only has the list been filled, bat, in anticipation of the adjudication, allotments of scrip have been dealt in. There was first a considerable purchase at premium, and they were lest quoted at 2 premium. We learn from the new number of the Bunker's Ilfagasine that Mr. J. W. Gilbert, the general mana ger of the London and Westminster Bank, has offered a prize of one hundred guineas to the author of the best essay showing in what way any of the articles collected at the industrial exhibition can be rendered especially serviceable to the interests of practical banking, whether in the shape of office improve meets, fittings, or otherwise. The prices of Rentes come from Paris the same as before. Vie exchange on London has improved 5 cents., and was last quoted 24 fr. 95c. Bullion quotations are unaltered. Toe following is a translation of the law officially promulgated by the Belgian government, relative to the discontinuance of a gold coinage: The Chambers have adopted, and we sanction, that which follows: Art. 1. The first article of the law of the 31st of March, 1847, decreeing the coinage of gold pieces of 10f. and 251. each is repealed. 2. The government is authorised to put an end to the legal warrcncy or ibis coinage op to tae amount of 14,646,0231. Before exercising this power a period shall be fixed for their exchange at the state treasuries at the rate of their nominal value. 3. Foreign geld coin ceases to have legal currency in 4. The present law shall be obligatory from the dsy of Its publication. Omits at Lucius, 28th December, 1850. By the King LEOPOLD.

MIDLAND UNION RAILWAT.—Hia Honour Muter Vasty buts appointed Mr. Harding to be official manager for winding tip this company's affairs, on the petition of Mr. T. Macaulay, of Leicester, and of Mr. C. H. Br_cebridge, of Athentone, who state that it was prnjectcd with a capital of 760,0004, in 37,600 shares of 201. each. The line was to be an extension of the existing N wth 8 athedshire Railway, from Otto:our. to unite the kicester and Hu:. ford, and South Midland Railway., so as to secure the bast practicable line from London to Manchester and Liverpool. The total shares allotted amounted to 66,836, whereof 12,600 were alloted to the provisional directors. The petitioners had 600 each; and the former petitioner, Mr. Macaulay, alleges that he has beea sued individually by creditors, and paid out of pocket upwards of 1,0001, on behalf of the liabilities of the outplay, the expenses incurred on behalf of which are alleged to amount to nearly 80,0001. Only 6091., it appears, was ever paid on account of the 21. 2s. deposit ; no deporite were paid by the director., and no more than 290 shares out of the 66,635 were taken up. It was proposed that 2., per share s►ould be paid to meet the liabilitits, but the allotting of only 2,895 shares respmded to the call in this respect, which was found to be totally inadequate to (Hachure the company's engagements, although some of its directors, for that purpose, advanced 1001. each.

THE SISTERS or MERCY.—The churchwardens of Stoke Danserel have bad • correspondence with the Bishop of Easter relative to the daily communion in that church. The churchwardens contend that they are not justified is incurring the expense of the daily communion toiler three parishioners besides the officiating clergyman partake of the sacrament; nn that, as the Sisters of Mercy reside in the district of St. Peter's, Plymouth, they have no claim to the communion on Stoke Dianne The result of the cons spoodence his not been what the churchwardens anticipated, but on what ground we have been unable to merino. It is said the correspondence, which poetesses some features of interest, will be published. No progress Ins been made with the erection of the proposed home for the Sisters of Morey in Plymouth. The foundation stone, it will he recollected, was formally laid by the Bishop of Exeter in October last. The raison for this delay has not transpired. SCENE AT A PUSEYITE CHURCll.—Yeeterday being Christmas day, we (Minolta and Deronport Journal) paid • visit to the district church of S. Stephens, Clowancentreet, Devonport. We had taken the pre caution to drop a rota-book into cur pocket. After emerging into the street above mentioned, where this secluded church is situated, we observed in a dirty lamp a I ' burner, in the charm of a cross, fixed over the door, u • sign of the entrance. Directly we entered we took swat as near . the pulpit as m poss et i o b u ie r , e a y n e t w fo e r re th g e lan ginning gr l o a u ce n d d a t t be t r h e 6l to ra re • looke g d at, when we encountered y the ph p ysiognomy of an old grey-headed man in spectacles, who said that if we cams there for the purpose of taking notes, it were better that we were absent. The next thing that attracted our attention wee the meagre congregation, there being only twenty-six adults present, anima of whom were women. These in cluded the male and female teachers of two or three school+, composed of a dozen children, or 60, and these youngsters occupied the attention of the teachers in keeping them quiet. On the right and left, et the head of the chapel, were erected zed intent, which were surmounted and ornamented with festoons of laurel. Within these screens were fitted reading desks, and, under them were ten boys, dressed in surplices with loose sleeves, who chaunted the whole of the responses. The branches of gas lights were hung with laurel, and bunches of rtenone' were fastened to the sides of the desks which the priests netupied. The offinating clergymen were the 11 , v. 0. W. Proctor, incum bent, and his assistant, the Rev. Robert Heaviside. When the Nicene creed was being read, by Priest Heaviside, he faced towards the west, while Priest Proctor turned his back to the people, and Itched against the wall. The bowing, were without number, and the changing of plena with the two clergymen just as numerous. The genies haying been gone through, Mr. Proctor, in his surplice, ascended the pulpit, and commenced his sermon, while we commenced taking notes • while so doing • thin spare man came and sat ;Impede of us, and pointing to the priest he desired us to look towards him. We complied with the strange request, and we at once saw that his reverence had made • discovery. He eyed us most fiercely, and, turning odourless, be diecontinutd his sermon, and amidst the full gaze of the congregation the following extraordinary colloquy took place:—Mr. Proctor (addressing our reporter , who sat very quietly in his seat): Sir, are yon come here for the pnroon of worshipping or not s—her reporter, who at this woman was lost in astonishment at what be heard, dropped his pencil, and looked round to see from whom this observation fell, but made no reply.—Mr. Proctor: I see you are writing?-11. porter: I am.—Mr. Proctor Then do ycu think, sir, it is becoming for you to come into a place of worship and write on such a day as this ? —Reporter: I apprehend it is not unbecoming of me to put myself in possession of your sermon if I think Mr. Ptoeoll : What do you lay ?—R7poSier : I say, sir, that this is • public pine of worship, and I can write if I clooer. It so happen, e:r, that lam a member of the Church of England, an d I soall remain and write, — Mr. l'rootor: I desire that you will desist. It is snoop log the congregation, end this is • sacred place.—The Reporter then resumed his seat, all gee being turned upon him, and he dotted down the above conversation, his bock resting upon his ken.—Mr. Proctor proceeded with his sermon, for • few seconds, and as we were molting good the lost ground, be turned upon us again and cant, " Yon an still writing ? "—Toe Reporter bowed an usent.—Mr. Proctor Now, sir, I tell you in the face of God and this congregation, that if you do not desist, but continue to write, you aro committing an offence in the face of Almighty God.—We were pnlectly paralysed—our pencil refused to do its office the 1 f the note book a ppeared as if unable to receive the cyphers—and our hands were not suffieiently strong to hold either. THE GUNPOWDER GRIEVANCE AT LIVERPOOL. — Duval the past week (says the Albion) cur ordinary mer outdo reports announced that the weenier Guy Fawkes had arrived here from Glasgow with 300 barrels of gunpowder, destined for the Maessines. At first we had imagined this to be some hoax. That a steamer should have been selected at this particular juncture, when the apprehensions of the public in Liverpool have been so painfully aroueed, to bring this quantity of powder to their dt en, teems such a wanton di flosses of public feeling, and such an outrage of all pro ptiety, that we trust the authorities will not tamely sane. tins such a proceeding. If we are rightly informed, too, in consequence of some difficulty in botching • steamer at the usual place cf diecharge, she Proceeds up the river, and transfers this powder to a flat, which has again to repass in front of the town, on her way to the Magenne-teeth. Here we have almost every pos sible addition to the already imminent dangers pointed out by Col. Waters as attenoing the present perilous mode of conducting this trade at the magazines. Let any one picture to himself the peculiar kind of vessel, a steamer; the pausing and reposing the town; the hendliog of the packages in the transhipment to a le et ; the liability to bunting and leakage of the barrels; and the absence of any police or guard to ensure any caution on the part of the crews during these operations, and then say whether it is not high time that the public voice should make itself heard and demand that life and property should no longer be exposed to such fearful ?like. We are aware that the reedy answer is, that our town council are bendy ngaged in arranging the mode of carrying out the instructions of governmeat for the complete removal of the magazines from their present locality, and that, doubtless, every precaution will be taken, both es respects the raw location and more stringent relitalSiutle to put an end to the present risk. ; but that is no reason why the public should remain exposed to such violation of ell prudential conside rations as in the cam pointed out. The fact that the trade on the beach, and at the magazines continues with in creased, rather than abated, 'envoy since the receipt of the government instructions is surely a sufficient defiance of those instructions end of public opinion without the addition of a steamer, which we cannot but consider the climax of effrontery. Should it pan unnoticed, we shall begin to , think ;bat the reports which have been consent as to the feeling in the Town-hall on the question are not altogether unfounded. aod that the gunpowder interest, which was and still is, represented there, has rosily more it fluence than is consistent with public safety. The continued absence of any information as to immediate action being contemplated by the town council give. currency to then feelings on the part of the memorialists. We cannot, however, persuade ourselves that the town council us Idle, and we look for ward to their meeting on Wednesday for full explanations, both as to the time and mode of removal that have been u nload upon. Meantime, we beg to urge upon the committee of the memorialists, who en understood to have been long nape in pessesnon of the contents of Sir George Grey's letter to the Town Council, the propriety of at once inform ing their constitute d§ what those instructions ate, and of thus removing any distrust which the present suppression of the sontints of that letter her caused. It is true we have heard it alleged by members of the committee, that, pending the negotiations between the parries interested, this seep pension has been deemed necessary, but on what ground we confess we understand. That it might have been policy to keepth e e oonteats of this letter from the knowledge of the limns is intelligible, but we thins it hardly probable that, when the lessees are themselves members of the coun cil, they lava not long since been in permeation of them; and, it so, it must be evident that no good reason can exist why the puha', who really are the most in te rest ed and for whose benefit, and to allay whose fears, that communication was mode by Sir George Grey, should alone be the parties de barred the knowledge of the contents of his letter. Rumour bee hinted at some attempt to prolong the mono poly of *elegem by consenting to a diminished quantity at the enagszlnes; but this the public will never tolerate: the danger must be totally removed, ones and for ever. • • • •
