MONEY MARKET AND CITY NE WS. CITY, Two o'CLocx. The influx of gold into the Bank of England continues without interruption, and the Return in next Friday's Gazette is expected to show a consi derable increase of bullion. • About £140,000 was sent in yesterday, and as fresh arrivals are announced from Australia, further additions to the general stock of the precious metals may be expected be fore the end of the week. Altogether about a mil lion and a quarter sterling is in course of transmis sion from Victoria ; and the imports of specie dur ing the next month or two will, no doubt, be augmented by supplies from Russia, Mexico, and the United States. Meanwhile, the exports are likely to continue very restricted. There is now much less activity in the demand for discount accommodation in Lombard-street, notwithstanding the payment of the Turkish loan instalment and the settlement at the Stock Ex change. It appears that the commercial inquiry continues moderate, the increase of business not being yet sufficiently extensive to create much additional absorption of money. Satis faction is expressed at the steady influx of gold at the Bank of England, as it may have an important effect in preserving the discount market in its present easy condition. The payment of the dividend will shortly have a beneficial influ ence in this respect, so that there is no immediate expectation of any permanent alteration in the terms of accommodation. Although an other failure, namely, that of Messrs. J. Plowes and Co., merchants, has taken place, it has not occasioned much apprehension, and respectable firms find no difficulty in obtaining every assistance they require in the discount market. It is, never theless, rather unfortunate that so many misfor tunes, have simultaneously occurred, but with the continued depression in produce such catastrophes can scarcely excite surprise. About £150,542 in specie has been announced this morning —viz., £134,000 by the Hougomont from Australia ; £4,542 by the Indus from Alexan dria ; and £12,000 by the Great Britain, from New York. In the Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday there was more animation ; 10,000 bales were disposed of, and prices tended upwards. The Railway Share Market closed firmly, and quotations were fully maintained. _ _ The advices from most of the manufacturing dis tricts continue favourable, extensive orders being given out on export account. The sum subscribed for the sufferers by the Western Bank of Scotland already amounts to £8,736. • A further slight improvement has taken place in the market for English Securities. The transac tions are not very numerous, but they are indicative of increased confidence among the speculators. Consols have risen to 963 97 for money, and 97 to 971 for account in October. Several small pur chases for investment `have been made. The New Threes and the Reduced Annuities, 9711, being firmer ; India Loan Debentures, 981; ditto Scrip, second issue, 971 e ; dttto Bonds, 15s. ; the March Exchequer Bills, 31s. -to 345. pm. ; and Bank Stock remains steady •at 2281 to 229. In the market for Pareign Securities rather more business is recorded, and a few important alterations have taken place in prices. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 951; ditto 4 per; Cents., 1041; Mexican 3 per Cents., 21-7, ;Peruvian 41 per Cents., 90 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 461 ; Russian 41 per Cents., 1001 a ; Sardinian 5 per Cents., 911 92 ; Dutch 21 per Cents., 651 66 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 4& ; ditto Deferred, 291 ; and ditto Passive, 101. The excitement among the speculators in the New Turkish Scrip has entirely subsided. Exces sive sales are no longer effected, and the first in stalment, making 16 , per cent., having now been paid, the market will, no doubt, henceforward present a more settled appearance. The price has been a to per cent. discount, but as very large engagements are still open, there is a prospect of a further advance when they come to be completed. A considerable amount has yet to be bought back, and the effect of this operation is already beginning to exhibit itself. In the meanwhile the 6 per Cents. are now firmly maintained—at least 11 per cent. higher than the New Scrip, which appears to be scarcely justified by the difference in the in trinsic values of the two securities. There has been a very limited business done in the Railway Share Market, but prices are rather firmer. Eastern Counties and North-Eastern (Ber wick) have improved 15s. ; North-Eastern (Leeds), 10s. ; and Great Western, Lancashire and York shire, North-Western, Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, and Midland, ss. In the Foreign and Colonial Market no change of importance has taken place. Paris and Lyons have improved 55., and East Indian declined 10s. The Canadian lines were flat. Mining shares are quite neglected, no buisness haring been reported. Joint-stock Bank shares are also at almost nominal rates. London and Westminster declined 55., and Ottoman Bank ss. In the Miscellane - ous Share Market prices have shown little alteration. National Discount Com pany are at 4 ; Royal Mail Steam, 61 to 611, ; and Crystal Palace, 11.- Red Sea and Indian Telegraph are dealt in at 252-. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES. Bank Stock 3 per Cent.

MANCHESTER, Sept . 7.- 1 -In cloths there has been a large and steady business, at gradually advancing prices, and rates which could not be obtained on this day week have been readily conceded. This has been the case more particularly in shirtings and other fabrics suited to India and China, for which the transactions have been on a large scale. The demand for T cloths, longcloths, domestics, and other heavy fabrics has also been good; and these cloths have been easy to sell at the full rates of last week. There are few if any good.s m stock, and manufacturers genera ll y are unwilling to enter into contract unless at higher rates. In yarns there has also been a good demand, and an extensive business is reported, at an advance of 9d. 'to id. per lb. in prices. The sale s for India and Germany have been very heavy, and agents say they never recollect a more extensive business in these yarns in the course of a sing le day. The home trade are also buying freely, and there is general activity throughout this branch of trade for all markets. Fine yarns continue to share in the improvement, 70's selling at fully id. advance on this day week, and other counts at equal advan tage. Among the lower and medium counts of yarn most in request are 30's to 40's mule for India, and 32's to 40's cops for manufacturers. Bolton .spinnings to 50's to CO's were in good request. DRINKING FOUNTAINS—A director of the Mid land Railway has erected, at his own expense, a marbl drinking fountain on the Leicester station. These fountain() are becoming very general, but it is stated that wherever the have been put up drunkenness has decreased. At the conduit on the Market-hill there is a single lable to enable thirsty souls to obtain a draught, and it is truly astonishing to observe how much it is used. Why should there not be more stations to supply water both to man and beast ?--- Cambridge Independent. whom y Mr. lasing- a dis £s 100. f goods t being plain lined a debted tern of kintiff In that uch as )le you all.

DORLING.—Our sporting readers will regret to hear of thedeath of Mr. William Dorling. There are very few who have not been to Epsom, or on the road to it, on the Derby day, and who have not been included amongst the " gentlemen sportsmen," who have been invited to buy a card of the races---" Dorling's correct card." Mr. Dorling had, for a long series of years, the management of the course and the races generally, and was held in the highest possible respect by persons of all classes who were devoted to turf pursuits. Mr. Dorling, at the time of his death, was in the 86th year of his age. BEADSMAN AND FITZROLAND.----A correspondent in forms us that he recently visited Mr. Manning's, the for tunate trainer of these two horses, and he found him " in a very out-of-the-way place, between Overton and King's clere, called Cannon Heath, and there, in a barn, are the two celebrated horses which have nonplussed the racing world. This same Cannon Heath bids fair to become the centre of quite a sporting circle, for Lord Portsmouth is about to form a racing stud, and a pack of hounds is about to be formed and stationed near King'sclere."--- &Wiw/ Jimr-nal, THE sOUTII STAFFORDSIIIB.B COLLIERS. • On Monday another open-air meeting of colliers was held at Brockmoore, about two and a-half miles from Dudley, and was attended by about 3,000 persons. Tile meeting was held in conse quence of an invitation from the colliers of that district to those of Tipton, Oldbury, and West bromwich, the men of Brockmoore and Brierley-hill promising that if the men from the last-named districts would conic and address them they would all combine to obtain the ss. a-day for which the men on strike were standing out. It is computed that about 1,000 men from the disturbed district marched nearly seven miles to meet the men of Brockmoore. Joseph Linney, of Oldbury, presided, and the proceedings were commenced with the sing ing of the hymn commencing, " Britannia's sons, tho' slaves ye be."_ The Chairman drew attention to the partial work which the men had had for some weeks before the commencement of the strike, and denied that either himself or those who acted had received any help from colliery proprietors who were interested in the strike. James Jackson, of Westbromwich, told the men of Brockmoore that so long as they remained at work they would supply the trade, and the men who had been hiflieito keeping out would be unable to carry the struggle to a successful issue. For himself, however, whatever determination they came to he would not go to work at the reduction. (Voices, " You shan't work at any price; we'll support you.") John Foy, of Great Bridge, then spoke. John Finney, a shoe maker, of Dudley, who had been expelled from the police force, made some remarks calculated to increase the aversion of the colliers to that body, but in which the colliers themselves appeared to hays little sympathy. Mr. W. H. Millar, of Dudley, a herbalist doctor," called the colliers the props of old England and the support of her commonwealth. He regretted that the police had threatened the colliers with " cold steel," and promised that he would write to Mr. Roberts, of Manchester, to come over and see if proceedings could not be taken against the policeman who made such threats, and offered his pound towards the expenses that would be incurred in doing so. This remark occasioned loud applause, the men saying that they would find the rest of the money that would be required for this purpose. There was more speaking, after which a resolution was unanimously passed, pledging the men of that district to join in the strike. Railways.

A very moderate supply of English wheat was on sale in to-day's market, coastwise and by land carriage, and the general quality of the samples was by no means first-rate. For most kinds we had a fair inquiry, and a good clearance of the stands was effected, at Monday's currency. The imports of foreign wheat this week amount to only 3,850 quarters, but the show of samples was extensive. Even the finest qualities were dull in sale, but we have no actual change to notice in prices. Floating cargoes of grain off the West coast sold to a fair extent, at fully late rates. For all descriptions of barley, both English and foreign, there was a good demand, at very full prices. Malt changed hands steadily, at extreme rates. The best coarse qualities were worth 70s to 72s per quarter. We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied with oats, in which a full average business was transacted, at late rates. Beans and peas were firm in price, but the flour trade was very quiet. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Oats. Flour 130 I 620 1,800 1 10,380 Wheat. Barley Malt.

New hops—the supply of which is increasing - rapidly— are selling at from GOs to 100 s per cwt. Yearlings are very dull, and cheaper. Duty, £260,000 to £270,000. A tender of Messrs. Brassey, Emsley, Withes, and Co., was accepted yesterday afternoon for the construe• tion of the first section (112 miles) of the Eastern Benga Railway. THE KENT COUNTY MAGISTRATES AND THEIR CORONER.—At a meeting of the members of the Woolwich Local Board of Health, held last evening, Mr. Tuffield brought under the consideration of the Board the repeated refusals of Mr. Carttar, the coroner for West Kent, to hold inquests upon bodies found dead, owing to the county justices having determined upon disallowing the usual fees for such inquiries unless there should appear to have been violence used to cause death. Mr. Tuffield, having cited two recent cases—the oue a boy found drowned, and the other that of .a new-born child found on a door-step at Deptford—moved the following resolution :—" It having come to the knowledge of the Woolwich Local Board of Health that persons found dead in this parish have been buried without any coroner's inquest or other official in vestigation (one case fourteen days since, a boy unknown, found drowned, after being certified to the coroner by the churchwardens as a proper case for inquiry), this board requests that her Majesty's Secretary of State will cause inquiry to be made, that a practice so encouraging to crime and so unsatisfactory to the inhabitants of this town may be speedily ended ; and that a letter embodying this resolu tion be signed by the chairman (Mr. Morgan), and for warded to her Majesty's Principal .Secretary of State for the Home Department." Mr. Ruegg seconded the resolu tion, observing that not only in Kent, but in other coun ties throughout England, attempts wereibeing made by the magistracy to destroy the protection hitherto afforded by the ancient institution of the coroner's office. The resolu tion was unanimously agreed to. MIGRATION OF HOP-PICKERS. —During the greeter portion of the past week the high roads of the county have swarmed with heavily-laden pedestrians, of both sexes and of all ages, wending wearily to the various hopg,rowing districts. The Parliamentary trains on the South-Eastern railway have also been unusually crowded with passengers bound to " the hoping ;" but Sunday last crowned the immigration, and show ed in a stronger light, perhaps, that it has appeared a t an y former time, the nu mense quantity of extra labour employed in the ingathermg of the hop-harvest.

He distinguished himself in the Royal Engineers, and his name is associated as civil engi neer with various works in Europe, at Sierra Leone, Trini dad, and the Cape, but he will be best 'remembered by his travels in the 13razils on behalf of the slaves. Ile was their champion for nearly two years, as a pamphleteer in the Por t ugue se Language. His principal letters were printed in one volume , and dedicated to the Emperor. During his stay in the Brazils, no less than 240 cargoes of slaves were, in spite of British cruisers, landed in the neighbourhood of Rio alone : now their importation is prohibited. He may ' be in sonic degree instrumental in founding the present anti -slavery feeling in that empire. He only escaped assamination at the time through the interposition of British merchants and the British ambassador ; upon their security and assurance, the usual necessity for three weeks' notice in the public papers previous to his departure was waived An Admiralty order has arrived at Sheerness to dismantle and dis - mast the flag ship Waterloo, pre paratory to her being takeninto No. 2 dry dock, there to be cut down to a two-decker, and converted into a screw line-of-battle ship with two ilecls, each to carry guns of the largest calibre.

The remainder of the men employed on board the Mersey were sent round to Gravesend in the Osborne steam yacht, and arrived at the dockyard yesterday. The line-of-battle screw steamer Hood, 91, build ing at Chatham, has ten gangs of shipwrights placed on board, orders having been received from the Admiralty for this steamer to be completed with all despatch, so as to be launched before the close of the present year. The line-of-battle sailing ship Trafalgar, 120, which is being converted into a screw steamer at Chatham, is to be supplied with machinery of 1,000- horse power, and is ordered to be completed by the end of March next. The Duck freight ship, Weald master, has left Chatham for Woolwich, where she will take in naval stores for Devonport dockyard. The screw steam frigate Euryalus, M, Captain J. W.

His Royal Highness, accompanied by his aides-de-camp, left London by the 8.30 train of the South-Eastern Railway, and arrived at Dover at a quarter to 11. He was met at the railway station by Gen. Peel, Secretary of State for War; Major-General Sir Richard .Airey, K.C.8., Quartermaster-General ; Major-Genera Mansell, K.H., commanding the Shorncliffe division ; Major - General Craufurd, Commandant of the Garrison ; Colonel Ward, com manding Royal Engineers ; Lieut.-Colonel Blane, C. 8., Assistant-Quartermaster-General of the Shorncliffe division ; Col. Browne, R.A., and other officers. A Royal salute from the new battery at the Western Heights announced the arrival of the Duke to their Royal Hignesses the Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Mary, who have been sojourning since Saturday at Birmingham's Royal Ship Hotel, whither his Royal Highness proceeded before inspecting the troops. The scene upon the grand plateau at the Western Heights, where the troops were drawn up, was a most animated one. The weather at the commencement of the review was all that could be desired, and the anticipated spectacle had attracted to the Heights a large assemblage of the most fashionable residents of this now well-filled watering-place. A long line of carriages extended from one end of the plain to the other, their fair occupants forming a picturesque fringe to the red green which were the predomina ting colours of the plateau itself, occupied as it was with troops to be reviewed. These consisted of the 4th battalion 60th Rifles, under Lieut.-Colonel Browne ; the Bedfordshire Light Infantry Militia, under Colonel Gilpin, M.P. ; the Donegal (Prince of Wales's Own) Militia, under Lord C. Hamilton, M.P.,and a company of Royal Artillery. Shortly be fore 12 o'clock his Royal Highness the Commander-i n surrounded by the officers already mentioned, arrived upon the ground, and was saluted by the troops who had formed in line. The Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Mary, attended by Baron Knesebeck, were seated in a barouche, which was driven by the side of his Royal Highness, and they appeared to take a lively interest in the move ments which followed. The Conunander-in-Chief first passed along the line, and the respective regi ments then marched past in c omp a nies. This was followed by the usual manoeuvr es, more or less un intelligible to civilian eyes, which go to make up a military spectacle. Hisßoyal Highness waspleased to express to the commanding officers of the different corps his high satisfaction at the precision and ac tivity of the troops under inspection. The review terminated about 1 o'clock, and the Commander in-Chief then proceeded to the Citadel, which he minutely inspected. A visit to the barracks at the Western Heights followed ; and the labours of his Royal Highness were wound up by an inspection of the imposing range of buildings to the eastward of the Castle, recently erected by . Mr. W. Moxon. To-day the Duke of Cambridge visits the camp at Shorncliffe. The reinforcements for the Bth Hussars, 17th Lancers, 18th Royal Irish, 33d ( Duke of Welling ton's) R eg iment, 51st (King's Own) Light Infant r y - .56th, 57th, 71st Highlanders, 72d Highlanders, 86th, 89th, 92d Highlanders, and 95th Regiment, to the number of 430 men of all ranks, embarked at Gravesend yesterday on Board th e Sardinia for Bombay. The only reinforcements now awaiting e mbarkation for Madras, are th ose for th . e Ist Dra goon Guards, 12th Lan cers , 44th, 60th Rifles, 66th, 68th Light Infantry, 69th, 74th Highlanders, and 80th Regiment, an these are expected to embark in the Walter Morrice. The demand recently made by the War Depart ment upon Woolwich Arsenal for the supply of guns to reinforce the coast defences has been promptly responded to, as upwards of 1,000 68-pounders and other heavy siege guns have already been despatched from Woolwich to Sheerness, Seaford, Eastbourne, Portsmouth, Devonport, Dover, and the various towns on the English coast ; the whole of which are fully equipped and are furnished with appliances for projecting . red-hot shot and other missiles of the most destructive description. This formidable array of coast defence does not include the large number of 11-pound battery guns, Sze., which have likewise been supplied to the above-named stations. Mr. W. Foster, chief clerk of the Military Store department of Woolwich, has been promoted to be Military Storekeeper and Barrackmaster at Sheer ness ; Mr. H. D. It. Maxwell, Storekeeper at Hull (which office is to be abolished), is ordered to do duty at Woolwich ; Mr. J. Jones, Store k ee per at Malta, is ordered to Chatham, and Mr. C. K. Cleeve is appointed to the Tower. A general court-martial, of which Lieut.-Col. De Rimy w,as prcAant, yesterday- closed its sit- tings at Woolwich, when the officers composing the court were to be placed on the roster for duty. The prisoners were a sergeant and a gunner of the Royal Horse Artillery. The charge against the sergeant was stated to be the unmanly offence of having bitten the thumb of a bombardier of- the corps, during an altercation in a public-douse, in so severe a manner as to render amputation necessary. The case of the gunner was, for having struck a corpo ral with his drawn sword: while in a state of in toxication during the march from Shoeburyness to Woolwich ; and for having attempted to strike one of his officers with the same weapon. The sentence in each case is about to be forwarded for the ap proval of her Majesty. A number of young men from the Royal Antrim Rifle Regiment of Militia at Woolwich yesterday volunteered for the 14th Regiment of the line, at present stationed at Belfast, and having passed the medical ordeal they received the usual bounty, and left the garrison in charge of a non-commissioned officer, to proceed to their destination. The City of Manchester, steam transport, sailed from Portsmouth on Monday evening with the Ist battalion of the 12th Regt. v for Fort George, Scot land. TH Yesterday morning MILITIA. the Royal South Gloucester shire Militia, un d er the command of Col. Berkeley, assembled at Gloucester for 21 days' training. The regiment is about 600 strong. The Essex Rifles assembled for training and drill yesterday, in compliance with the directions of Vis count Maynard, the lord-lieutenant of the county. The muster took place at 10 o'clock, at the depot on the Ipswich-road, Colchester. The men will be quartered at the camp. THE COUNCIL OF INDIA. Yesterday the members of the Indian Coun c il sat in committee at the India-house, Leadenhall street. One of the first acts devolving on Lord Stanley, as the Secretary of State and President of the Council, was to divide the Council into commit tees for the more convenient transaction of business, assigning to each a specific department of affairs in relation to the government of India, and that he did at the meeting of the Council on Friday last. We are now enabled to state how the several commit tees have been constituted, and the different depart ments under which they will range themselves. Those departments are three in number, viz., first, Finance, Home, and Public Works ; second, Politi cal and Military ; third, Revenue, Judicial, and Legislative. The members appointed to servo on the Committee of Finance, Home, and Public Works are Mr. C. Mills, Mr. E. Macnaghten, Mr. J. Shep herd, Sir P. Cautley, and Mr. Arbuthnot—the first three being elected members of the Council, and the last two nominees of the Crown. To the Po litical and Military Committee have been asssigned Sir John Lawrence, Major-General Sir Robert Vivian, Sir Henry Rawlinson, Mr. Willoughby, and Captain Eastwick. The first four belong to the category of nominated members of the Council, and the last, Capt. Eastwick, to that of elected members. The [members constituting the Revenue, Judicial, and Legislative Committee are Sir 3 - . W. Hogg, Mr. Mangles, Sir F. Currie, Mr. Prinsep, and Sir H. C. Montgomery, the first four being elected and the last a nominated member. The Council is composed of 15 members, besides the President, so that they have been equally spread over the committees. In some cases it will be ob served that the nominated members preponderate in the committees, and in others the fact is the re verse ; but there is really nothing in that, for a glance at the names of the gentlemen appointed to serve on each will be sufficient to convince any one conversant with the history and character of each individual member that they have all been selected by the Secretary of State with a rigid regard to their special experience and aptitude for the busi ness in the departments to which they have been assigned. It may be stated that the Secretary of State is expressly empowered to rearrange the com mittees from time to time, and generally to direct the manner in which the business shall be trans acted. The whole of the business of the home govern ment appears now to be transacted at the house in Leadenhall-street, and little or none at the Boar!, of Control. The official apartments heretofor,:, occu pied by the Chairman of the Court of Dire c t ors h ave been assigned to the use of Lord Stanley, the Secre tary of State, and he attends at the India-house for the transaction of business from day to day. There, too, Sir G. Clerk and Mr. Baillie, M.P., now the Under-Secretaries, and until lately joint-secretaries of the Board of Control, have removed their quar ters ; so that the new Council, with its necessary adjuncts, may now be said to have got fairly into working order. The scheme of consolidation bf the establishments in Leadenhall-street and at the Board of Control, propounded by Sir J. Melvill and Mr. Leach, is still under consideration, and little or nothing is known out of doors in respect to it. a n the meantime, until it shall have been sett' e d and made public, some natural anxiety is f‘,:it by the employes in the different departments ; whose inte rests it will materially affect. The old Court of Proprietors held a meeting on Monday, but it had no public interest. We under stand they elected Mr. Orawford, of the treasury department of the establishment i n Leadenhall street, to be their secretary, but whether this is a provisional or permanent appointment is not at present known. THE PUBLIC HEALTH. (From the Registrar-General's Return, Sept. 6.) The total number of deaths in London in the week that ended on Saturday (Sept. 4), was 1,039. In the ten years, 1848-57, the average number of deaths in the weeks corresponding with last week was 1,314; but as the deaths of last week occurred in an increased population, the average, to admit of comparison, must be raised proportionally to that increase, in which case it will become 1,478. Hence it appears that last week was so favourable to the health of the inhabitants of London that 439 persons survived who would have died if the ave rage rate of mortality had prevailed. The number of children born last week exceeded that of persons of all ages who died by 492. Diarrhoea proved fatal last week in 120 cases ; in the week preceding the number was 146. Scarlatina carried off 110 per sons, being more than double the weekly average of the season ; whooping-cough, 42 ; measles, 20; smallpox, 5 ; and cholera was fatal to 8 persons. Diseases of the respiratory organs were the cause of 80 deaths; of these 33 were attributed to pneu monia, and 37 to bronchitis. The deaths referred (or consumption) which is placed in th e tubercular P ht hsis class of diseases, were 119. A boy, aged 9, and a man, aged 61, died of tetanus, the former of these cases was the result of an accidental wound of the knee. A labourer, aged 41, died in St. Giles's Workhouse from sunstroke, and the wife of a weaver " from exhaustion from want of food ;" she was 63 years of age. Four nonagenarians died last week ; the oldest was a widow, who had at tained the age of 98 years. Last week the birth of 806 boys and 725 girls, in all 1,531 children were registered in London. I n the 10 corresponding weeks of the years 1848-57 the average number, corrected for increase of popu lation, was 1,669. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29 . 627 in. The highest barometrical reading occurred on Thurs day at 9 a.m., when it was 29.75 in. The mean temperature of the week was 59 . 4 deg., which is 0.5 deg. above the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher.) On Fri day the excess of mean temperature above the ave rage was 6.7 deg., the temperature having been below the average on four of the preceding days of the week. The highest temperature in the week was 74 . 0 deg. on Friday ; the lowest was 43.3 dm.. on Sunday. The mean daily range was 19.5 d z . g; On Saturday the range was only 7 . 1 deg. Th e mean dew-point temperature was 51 . 0 deg ., and tha diff erenc e between this and the mean air tempera ture was 8.4 deg. The mean temperature of the water of the Thames during the last four days of the week was 61 . 3 deg.
