MONEY MARKET. CITY NEWS-YESTERDAY. At the Discount-office at the Bank of England business was again slack to-day. In Lombard-street good bills were discounted at 2 to 2-1 per cent., with exceptional transactions at still lower rates. The amount of gold bought by the Bank to-day was £43,000. At Paris to-day the 3 per Cent. Rentes opened at 68.40, and closed at 68.35 for money and 68.30 for the account, being 1-16 to i t per cent. lower than yesterday. At Vienna yesterday the exchange on London declined to 128.20. The success of the New Portuguese Loan is of a very decided character. The applications up to this evening have amounted to £20,000,000, the entire amount of the loan being only £5,000,000 stock. A large number of the subscribers are of the best possible class. The list will be closed at 12 o'clock to-morrow (Wednesday). _ It is said that the expected loan for Venezuela may be looked for next week. The directors of the National Bank havo this day declared a dividend on the paid-up capital of the company (£600,000) at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum, and an extraordinary dividend of 16s. per share, being together £2 per share, free of income tax, for the half-year ending 30th June last. The Ottoman Bank have received from Constan tinople on account of the dividend due in Septem ber next on the Turkish 6 per Cent. Loan of 1858 a further remittance of £45,000, making a total sum received of £llO,OOO. The Madras Railway Company have paid into the Bank of England to the credit of the Secretary of State for India in Council the sum of £75,990 on account of the fifth extension capital of the com pany. The Liverpool cotton market continues dull and heavy, particularly as regards Surat sorts. The transactions to-day were limited to 3,000 bales. In our advertising columns will be found the Prospectus of the Thames Express Steamboat Com- Pa ll Y) which has been started under the most encouraging auspices. The capital proposed to be raised is £75,000, in 15,000 £5 shares, with a de posit of 10s. per share on application, and 20s. on allotment. The promoters of the undertaking are all thoroughly business men, and such is the confi dence with which the scheme is looked upon that a dividend of 6 per cent. per annum, payable half yearly, is guaranted for the first two years, special Security for that having been placed in the hands of the directors. The object of the company is to establish express steamboats ❑pon the river be tween Gravesend and Chelsea, the vessels calling.at the intermediate piers. The boats of the company will have saloons on deck, handsomely fitted ant, with sliding windows, from which either side of the river can be viewed on the passage. Shelter is thus provided from heat and inclement weather, whilst the top will afford a spacious and agreeable promenade. Arrangements have been made for the use of the piers, also for steamers to run from London-bridge and Chelsea (on sufficient capital being subscribed), to take advantage of the traffic to the Exhibition and other places of attraction up the river. The immense increase on the river, and the inability of the present steamers to accommo date the public, prove that an enlarged system of steamboats is much required. The undertaking cannot but prove a lucrative one. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY . CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is no diminution in the available supplies of money in the general market. On the contrary the plethora seems to increase in consequence of the distribution usual at this period of the profits earned by various descriptions of joint stock com panies in the six months ending the 30th June last. The mercantile requirements continue moderate, and an active competition is kept up in discount circles for the bills brought into circulation. Gold is now about 1-10th per cent. deare in London than in Paris, and rather more than 3-10 the per cent, higher here than in Hamburg. The half-year's interest on Cape of Good Hope 6 per Cent. Debentures will be paid on and after the 31st inst. There is a decrease of 44,700 in the traffic receipts of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Rail way for the past week. A meeting has been held to-day of the proprietors of the National Discount Company, when Mr. F. IV. Russell, M.P., presided. The report, which was unanimously adopted, stated that the gross Profits for the half-year ending 30th June last, amounted to 443,959 19s. ld., and that, after pro licling for the current expenditure, directors' and audit ors'remunerat ion, and reserving £12,641 92.5 d. f or rebate of interest on bills not yet due, there re zoained a disposable balance of £26,626 19s. 10d. Convinced that the permanent interests of the pro ?rioters will be better consulted by an important Increase to the guarantee fund, than by a l arger divisi on of profits, the directors recommended out of this surplus that the sum of £11,560 7s. be ap- Propriated to the payment of a dividend at the rate 6 per cent. per annum, free of income tax, and t hat the balance of £15,066 12s. 10d. be carried to the credit of the reserve fund, which, with r,,accrued int erest, will then amount t 0442,915 ss. 2d. 4110 chairman, in the course of his remarks, stated th at the present favourable position of the com pany's affairs w as not depend e nt upon an y acci dental o r unusual profits, but arose entirely from rat.advance of their credit and their increased ope " - The progress of the undertaking was de pendent in a great measure upon the confidence of th e sha re h olders.

The fresh arrivals of English wheat to this morning's market were very small, and the demand, both for red and white qualities, ruled steady, at Monday's currency. The show of samples of Foreign wheat was large. In most descriptions a fair retail business was transacted, and prices were 'well supported. Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request, at extreme rates. The trade for barley was firm, more especially for good and fine qualities. In malt, a fair average business was transacted, at full prices. Oats—the supply of which was very moderate—were in good demand and the quotations had an upward tendency. Beans and peas were scarce and fully as dear as on Monday. _ The flour trade was steady, and both English and Foreign qualities changed hands at quite previous rates. ARRIVALS THIS 'WEEK. Wheat.

The news by the paper-boys shouted, Is news that can scarcely be doubted— That General M'Clellan Has fled like a felon, And the Federal forces are routed. A FRIENDLY WORD TO POLAND. Fair Poland, from your fettered hand Fling far the foul assassin -knife, Let murder ne'er by you be planned, E'en 'gainst a tyrant's hated life For the vile tyrant's blood a gain From that of two much honour draws, If you permit it e'er to stain The white robes of a noble cause.

Indus. St. Flo. F.,,,9, 100 ,98 100 191 FOREIGN RAIL WAYS LAW---THIS DAY. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary and a Special Jury.) POTTS V POTTS AND LORD BATEMAN. This was a suit instituted by the petitioner for a dissolu tion of marriage with the respondent by reason of her adultery with the co-respondent, Lord Bateman. The re spondent did not put in any appearance. The co-respon dent, however, appeared and pleaded a number of pleas tra versing the adultery, and connivanco and condonation of the adultery, and with respect to damages pleaded the Statute of Limitation. On the jury being sworn and no counsel appearing for the petitioner, the learned Judge directed that the at torney for the petitioner, Mr. Goatly, should be called, which was done by the officer, but no answer was received. Mr. Macaulay, Q.C., on the part of the co-respondent, said he was prepared to go on with the case in support of the defence raised by the issues on the part of Lord Bate man, but as no one appeared for the petitioner, he was En titled to a verdict for the co-respondent. The learned Judge having gone through the pleEding, said there was some difficulty on the plea of adultery; but it was ascertained that the petitioner had alleged the adul tery to have taken place in the years 1851 and 1853, and the present suit was not instituted till December, 1861, which established the Statute of Limitation. --______ His Lordship then informed the jury that the affirmative of the issue of adultery lay upon the petitioner, and as he did not appear, there was no evidence, and the co-respon dent was entitled to a verdict. The Jury then returned a verdict that the co-respondent had not been guilty of adultery with the respondent. TUTHILL Y. TUTHILL. Dr. Phillimore, Q.C., and Dr. Tristram for the peti tioner; Dr. Spinks for the respondent. This was the petition of a wife for a judicial separation on the ground of adultery. The respondent denied the charge, and pleaded cruelty. The marriage took place in February, 1837, and there had been two children. The respondent, Mr. Jackson Villiers Tuthill, was a retired captain in the army. He lived with his wife at Brent wood, and afterwards in Ireland. Mrs. Florence Ayre, the daughter of the petitioner, stated that she was 22 years of age, and that sh e was married in 1858. In 1860 her father visited her at Clapham. He had left her mother in Ireland, but he brought with him a woman whom he introduced to her as Mrs. Brown, and as the wife of an actor and an old friend of his. They stayed the whele day. He kissed her, and put his arm round her waist. When they went away he asked witness to write to him. Instead of doing so she went to the address he had given her near King's .cross, and on going into his room, she found him in bed with Annie Brown. He ap peared dreadfully agitated, and he said, " Don't tell that old —," meaning her mother. This was at three o'clock in the afternoon. Afterwards visited him at his lodgings in Grafton-street, Tottenham. court-road. He went there by the name of Jackson ; and she saw women's clothes in the room as well as her father's. Cross-examined—When she found him in bed he said he was ill. It was from the effects of drink, but he was not actually intoxicated. Witness was separated from her hus band ; but that was her own private business. Was living in apartments by herself when she visited her father near King's Cross. Was married with her father's consent. Was then living with her mother in Ireland, while her father was in England. Lived with her husband about 15 months. Sup ported herself on a little money her grandfather had left her. Her father had paid £8 or £9 a year as rent for her, and had occasionally given her a few shillings. He had often visited her. Had never seen her mother intoxicated. Would swear that. Had seen her a little excited when he called her names, but never knew her use threats or offer violence to the respondent. Did not remember ever going to Dr. Potter, a neighbour, and saying, " Pray let me in, pa's going to kill ma." Miss Pot t e r was a schoolfellow of witness, and she occasionally slept with her. Remembered now, that when she was very young, she once went with her brother to Dr, Potter's. Her father had been very drunk and violent; and had broken mamma's nose. Very likely she said, " Pa's going to kill ma." Her brother and herself were very much terrified ; but she remembered very little about it. There had always been frequent quarrels between her father and mother, Some additional evidence having been given in support of the pettioner's plea, Dr. Spinks said he had witnesses to rebut the evidence of Mrs. Ayre, an d to prove his plea of cruelty; but as he was unable to disprove the charge of adultery, he Could not as a matter of law put them in the box. Sir C. Cresswell thought the learned doctor was quite right in the view he had taken of the law. It had long been held that cruelty was no answer to a charge of adultery. Verdict for the petitioner. Decree accordingly. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) THE EARLY CLOSING MOVEMENT ON SATURDAYS -IN RE DRAYSON. This bankrupt was described as a draper, of Queen-street, Gravesend, and this was a meeting for last examination. Mr. Sargood said that an adjournment must take place, as the accounts were not filed in time. Mr. Munns, for the bankrupt, said that the accounts were filed on the right day, but not till twenty minutes paet two, and, as closed by order at two o'clock on Saturdays, the messenger had marked it as filed on the following Monday, Mr. Sargood then said he would waive the objection, and go on with the case. Mr. Munns said if the accounts had not been filed in time it might affect the validity of the order of discharge. A short adjournment was therefore taken. TIKE NEW ORDER OF THE LORD CHANCELLOR -IN RE IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS—Tins DAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at 10 minutes past 12 o'clock. STATUTE LABOUR ROADS AND BRIDGES (SCOTLAND) BILL. This bill was read a second time. TRAMWAYS BILL. On the order of the day for going into committee on this bill, Mr. AYRTON explained its principal provisions, but said that he did not propose to proceed with it ; but he trusted that the Government would introduce a similar measure neat session. JUDGMENT, &c., LAW AMENDMENT BILL. Mr. HADFIELD presented somo petitions in favour of this bill, and moved the second reading. He said he was satisfied that the amendment of the measure would he found throughout the length and breadth of the land a great improvement. His object was to cheapen and facili tate the transfer of land, and he cited several instances of the anomalous state of the existing law. He could not hope to pass his bill this session, but he trusted that the representatives of the people in this house and the mem bers of the House of Lords would lend their assist ance towards passing a measure that would effect his object by g i v i ng the honest purchaser, who p aid his money and received his conveyance , i n demnit y for his purchase. If he could pass the first clause he would consent to abandon the 2d and 3d clauses, and leave the bill in the hands of the law officers of the Crown. Mr. HUMBERSTON, who presented a petition from Chester in favour of the bill, supported the second reading. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL opposed the bill, and said that, if necessary, he would move its rejection. The bill was opposed to legislation for the last 20 years, and pro ceeded on the principle of relieving two parties at the ex pease of a third. He contended that the bill would operate most unjustly in regard to the landowner, who, however large his property, would by its provisions be unable to raise money on his estate excepting mortgage or the dis posal of a portion of it. He did not think the country or Par liament had time to consider a measure of this importance. ' The bill proposed to act retrospectively and place persons who had obtained years ago certain advantages on the same touting as judgment creditors after the passing of the bill. He concluded by moving that the bill be read a second time this day three months. Mr. HADFIELD said he would not trouble the house to divide on his bill; but considered that no case had been made out against its provisions. The order for the second reading of the bill was dis charged. _ _ NIGHT POACHING PREVENTION BILL (LORDS). On the order of the day for the seoond reading of this bill, Sir G. GREY, who presented petitions against the mea sure, said that after the decision to which the house came on the second reading of the bill, it was not his intention to oppose its going into committee, althou:rh he considered his objections on the previous de bate had not been answered. The hon. baronet who had charge of the bill had placed on the paper of the house amendments to the extent of 4 columns, which he admitted improved the bill, because amongst other alterations it struck out the clause giving a policeman the power of arresting a person suspected of poaching on the highway. He repeated what he had formerly urged, and contended that the effect of the bill would be to extend the system of gang poaching throughout the country, and as a necessary consequence to increase the number of the rural police. He still retained the strongest objection to employing the county constabulary in the preservation of game. He repeated also his convic tion that the extent to which poaching went was the re sult of the excessive preservation of game. In support of that statement he mentioned the fact that no less than between 7,000 and 8,000 game had been destroyed in one season by a party of gentlemen on a visit to a friend in the country. Mr. FORSTER said that the house should not be called on to decide on this bill at such a period of the session. considering the amendments rendered it an entirely new measure, and trusted that it would not be passed. Sir J. PAXTON, from experience derived from the management of extensive preserves, was satisfied that the effect of the bill would be to increase poaching and render the county constabulary very unpopular throughout the country. He concluded by moving that the bill be read a second time this day three months. Lord HENLEY seconded the amendment. Lord STANLEY followed on the same side, and argued that before passing a bill the subject should receive a more extensive Parliamentary inquiry than had yet taken place in reference to it. After some further discussion, in the course of which Sir B. Leighton, who had charge of the bill, said he felt bound to press the Measure, the house divided — For going into committee 139 Against Majority —9o The announcement was received with loud cheers. The house then went into committee. A most exc ting scene followed, on an amendment pro posed by Mr. STANILAND, to leave out in clause 1 the words " sunset and the hour of eight in the morning." Mr. CONINGHA NI denounced the conduct of gentle men on the other side, who, at a time of such distress in the country, could come down aid attempt to pass a game preserving bill. He thought that men who were so inca pable of sympathising with the distresses of their fellow countrymen should be sent back to their constituents with out delay. After a violent discu , sion, and repeated calls to order, the amendment was withdrawn. Sir G. GREY proposed, as an amendment, the insertion of the words—" The expiration of the first hour after sun set, and first hour before sunrise." The committee divided— For the amendment Against it Majority ... Mr. CRAWFORD moved that the Chairman report progress. The committee divided— For reporting progress 4l Against it Majority —129 Mr. AYRTON complained of the extraordinary powers contained in the bill. He admitted that legislation did not originate in these matters with the opposite side of the house. First came the shipowners, then the metal menu facturers of Birmingham, and more recently the Govern ment in regard to their naval stores. (Hear, hear.) These were successive steps in military legislation. He proposed as an amendment the insertion of the words, " any [emu coming from any land where ho shall have been unlawfully in search or pursuit of game. That would confine the bill to persons of that lass. He thought the language of the bill was far too comprehensive. Mr. NE WDEGATE, in speaking to the amendment, said he looked upon a poacher more as a sportsman than a robber. Several members complained that they were in doubt as to the nature of the amendment proposed. Mr. CRAUFURD said that gentlemen on the other side wanted to make game a property, but they had not the honesty to confess it. (Hear, hear.) He moved that the chairman report progress. Sir D. DUNDAS strongly urged that the house should consider what would be the position of the police in con nection with this bill. The committee divided— -38 For reporting prog ress A ga inst it .......................... 160 Majority .................. —122 Mr, BASS proposed that fish should be included in the bill, lie had fisheries, and he was poached upon by night. to Mr. AYR T ON ridiculed the proposal.

This bill was read a second time. HIGHLAND ROADS BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. THE APPROPRIATION CONSOLIDATED FUND BILL. This bill Was brought in and read a first time. The house adjourned at six o'clock. ROUSE OF COMMONS—YEsTERDAT. COOKING FOR THE AR1111". General LINDSAY moved a resolution, that the ser 'noes which Captain Grant has rendered to the public by the econ _ y M and in2provem eot which he has introduced U into the system of field and permanent cooking in the army, and by his invention of the ambulatory cooking apparatus, are entitled to recognition. He referred to the documents before the house, upon which, he said, he should rely, as making out his case, that his system had been most suc cessful, and that Captain Grant was entitled to some reward. was looked upon as a great benefactor to In the army be the service. Sir G. LEWIS said, substantially, the motion was for a nt of a sum of mone y to Ca p tain Grant ; but the the gr standing orders of the house required that every such ap plication should be recommended by the Crown, and con idered in a committee of the whole house. He objected ' to the motion, therefore, on that ground, But as to the merits of the claim, the War Department did not think that there was any reason fbr goiag beyond the reimbursement of Captain Grant his expenses. The motion was supported by Colonel North, Colonel Dunne, Mr. Monsell, and General Buckley. Sir G. LEWIS added that the field apparatus was under the consideration of a committee. upon a division the motion was negatived by the nar rowest majority-52 to 21. ENGINE DRIVERS. Mr. COBBETT called attention to the petition of engine drivers and firemen working on several lines of railway in the United Kingdom, complaining of the excessive num ber of hours during which they work continuously ; also to the petitions from inhabitants of certain cities, and other towns, upon the same subject; and moved that a committee be appointed to inquire into the matter of the petitions. Mr. M. GIBSON said he believed there was a small number of this class who worked long hours, but a Parlia mentary inquiry, or legislation upon the subject, would be settieg up a new principle of regulating the labour of adults, who were able to take care of themselves. Mr. COBBETT withdrew the motion. THE POST-OFFICE. Sir G. BOWYER called attention to the grievances al leged to exist and complained of by the persons employed in the Post-office Department, and pledged himself to move for an inquiry into the subject next session. As a matter of form he moved for a select committee. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER observed that there would always be discontent in public depart ments when those employed therein found that persons in Parliament took a partisan view of their case, and encou raged their applications for better wages, and their com plaints of being underpaid and overworked, and he hoped that members would consider the responsibility they would incur thereby. He replied briefly to the detailed state ments of Sir G. Bowyer, expressing a hope that the house would not take the matter out of the hands of the Execu tive Government, who could get an abundance of competent persons properly at less wages than werereceived to by perform those now in the service. After some observations by Mr. Con and Sir S. NORTH the ti Cora, Sir G. BOWYER withdrew his motion. BOARDS OF GUARDIANS. Mr. VILLIERS moved for leave to bring in a bill to enable the Boards of Guardians in certain counties in Eng land to meet any extraordinary demands for relief. He did not mean to imply by this motion that the law was not ade quate to meet the case, or that any further powers were necessary to enforce the law; but the measure he proposed was only a precautionary one during the recess, and he pro ceeded to state facts that appeared to him to justify it. He showed from returns the amount of distress that existed in the principal towns in Lancashire in consequence of the want of employment and the expenditure for the relief of the poor, remarking that the number of persons dependent upon the rates was no criterion of the number destitute of employment. The deposits in the savings-banks were now, however, nearly exhausted ; the distress was increas ing rapidly and extendirg, and there was no pro spect of its diminution but by the revival of trade. Looking to these circumstances, and to the principle of the existing law, which sancti one d ra t e i n aid, he proposed by the bill to give vitality to that principle, so that any parish or parishes, overburdened by Extraor dinary local distress and pauperism, might claim a oontri bution from the common fund of the Union, or, under certain circumstances, one Union might call for a contri bution from the other Unions in the county. He explained the principal enactments of the bill, which he proposed to continue for a limited term, till the Ist of March. Colonel PATTEN said he was so convinced of the exigency of the case and of the necessity of something being done before Parliament separated that he was pre pared to consider with the greatest favour any proposition of the Government for relieving the suffering districts, and would readily sacrifice many opinions of his own as to the remedies. He hoped the Government would not consider that another alternative, the borrowing money on the security of the rates, would interfere with their measure. Mr. BOUVERIE could not conceal from the house that the change proposed by the bill was a most portentous one, and he did not think Mr. Villiers had laid any ground for this departure from the recognized law. He believed that the rate in the pound for relief of the poor in the districts where the pressure was greatest was not nearly so high as in many of those in the south of England. He considered that the proposal for extending the charge to the county was likely to invite profusion and extravagance. The best mode of meeting the emergency, in his opinion, was to stand by the ancient law. A few remarks were made by Mr. HIBBERT and Mr. A. EGERTON. Mr. GILPIN observed that, looking to the actual and increasing distress in Lancashire, Government would have failed in their duty if they had not made preparation to meet the emergency. Mr. LYGON made some observations, and Lord PALMERSTON explained the scope of the measure, remarking that the Government would have been culpable if they had allowed Parliament to separate without providing some means of meeting aggravated distress in the districts. Leave was then given to bring in the bill. The orders of the day were then proceeded with, several bills being forwarded a stage, and the house adjourned at five minutes toll o'clock.

This bankrupt was described as of London-street, Nor - wich, draper, and to-day was appointed for his last exami nation. Mr. Brough appeared for the assignees, and did not op pose the bankrupt, but the question of disoharge was ad journed, in consequence of an order from the Lord Chan cellor directing that no order of diicharge should be heard until November. The order is, probably, that the case should be decided by the Commissioner to whom it had been ballotted. This appears rather hard on bankrupts. Under the old practice the Commissioners heard applica tions for certificate, and it was only in special cases that they were adjourned for the return of the Commissioner after the vacation. IN RE AUGUSTUS HOPE. This was a meeting for last examination and discharge. The bankrupt was described as of Islington, out of business The only debt is £5BO, the costs in a suit in Chancery. Th; case was peculiar. The bankrupt had been bankrupt in 186 1 ; and obtained his certificate under the Act in Nov. inthat aee ye ,:r, but a few days after he had obtained his certi ficate w as made rendering him liable for the costs. In the originalde nce-sheet he had inserted a liability in cr raemspoeucntt,owf which hs wassuit n and t nd costs, but without stating the en ascertained. It was afterwards discovered that the certificate would not operate as a dis charge from the liability, and bent>, the necessity of a second application to the Court. Mr. Aldridge appeared for the assignees. There was no opposition, and the order was granted. POLICE-THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. HEARTLESS ROBBERY.—THE LOVE OF DRESS.—Ann Sharp, apparently about 18 years of age, and wearing a fashionable hat and feathers, stylish cloak, &c., was charged with the following robbery s From the evidence of Jane Burnham, a young woman, it appeared that she left her situation on Saturday last, and occupied the same room with the prisoner, at 7, George street, Grosvenor -square. The prisoner got up some time before the prosecutrix and took the whole of her wages she had just received—£Z 18s.—and absconded. The proseca hilt then went to the prisoner's father, when she learnt that a warrant was then out against the prisoner for robbing her father of £4 10s. Information was given to the police, and Kent, 191 C, succeeded in discovering and apprehending the prisoner, who had spent all the money but ss. 3fd., having purchased herself a new hat and feather, crinoline, stylish boots, &c. Prisoner, in a flippant tone, said in answer to the charge, " Oh, yes ; I did it on purpose to get locked up." Mr. Knox said he should remand the prisoner for the attendance of her father, and gave the prosecutrix — to whom the loss was no doubt very great—a sovereign from the poor-box. DANGEROUS DRIVING 217 A RAILWAY Cluma.N.—Adam Payne. driver of a Great Western R ailwa y van, was charged with being drunk and incapabl e of driving a van and pair h of horses, and damaging a horse and cart, te property of Mr. Alfred Adams, upholsterer, of Goswell-road, tovathlue e amo unt of £l2, and also sma shin g a window, to the of £4, the property of Mr. John Parker, King-street, Soho.

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the .Regzstrar-General's Weekly Return.) Eleven hundred and eleven deaths were regis tered in London in the week that ended last Satur day. The average number of deaths in weeks cor responding with last week o f th e ten years 1852-61 corrected) is 1,201. The present state of the publio health is therefore so far good that the number of persons who died last week was less by 90 than the number that would have been recorded if the ave rage rate of mortality for the third week of July had prevailed. The births of last week exceeded the deaths in the same time by 701. There wer e f our d eat h s f rom sm allpox, two of which occurred in th e su b-district of S t. John, St George-in -the-East. Typhus, o f which 68 fatal cases were recorded, exhibits an increase on any weekly number returned since the m iddle of June. Nine 1 deaths out of the 68 are reported by the London grave sub-distr ict, fo ur in that of the Fever Hospital. Four deaths by typhus occurred in the Bel Regent's Park. Measles and scarlatina were fatal each in 55 eases, The former disease prevails chiefly in the east districts, where it carried off nine chil ldren in Bethnal -green, four in Shadwell. The deaths from diarrhoea were the same in number as 1 those of the previous week—namely, 39. Besides these, two cases are referred in the tables to cholera, wh i c h are returned thus :—At 5, Union-court, vhitechapel, a boy, aged four months, "choleraic l (20 hours) ;" and at 3, Potier -street, Kent road,al a Th°2 labourer, aged 6 6 yea rs, " choleraic diet a diarrhces.'"
