The Newmarket and Carlisle meetings have been suffi ciently attractive to have a very shining effect upon the attendance of subscribers here, but the business that was done upon future events we do not consider was of such a nature as to be taken as a guide to the true state of the market. For the Liverpool Cup Viatka would have been backed against Aston, and less than 7 to 1 was refused about either of them ; and Gridiron, for the Goodwood Stakes, with very little outlay of money, rose to 9to 2 taken.

The Meander,a British commereial steamer, has come in from Messina, with a number of passengers. According to their account, the town was a desert, peopled only by soldiers and mob; all the rest of the population had left, takingwithwhatever them they could carry away. The garrison of the place is very strong, all the troops from Catania and Girgenti being still there, as Well as a part of those who left Palermo. They occupy the town in force, but their sway does not extend farther. At the very gates of the town the insurrection is in full vigour; the committee is constituted, holds its meetings in one of the n eighbouring villages, and is organizing and raising troop s , like the rest of the country. It is in regular correspondence with the Government both by land and sea. In general the regular mail service has been established all over the country. This was the more wanted, as ever since the beginning of the insurrection the communication was interrupted with the interior. Of course, the mail service is restricted to the chief places, which are connected by something resembling roads. Nothing shows more how incapable the Neapolitan authorities were than the neglected state of the roads commu nicating with the interior.

Sweetbriar made play, Master Bagot coming second, Wild man third, and Dilkoosh lying away. On passing the Shep herd's House, Dilkoosh ran into the second place, Master Bagot third, and Wildman last. Going into the dip Dil koosh and Sweetbriar lay side by side, and along the bank Master Bagot and Wildman, also side by side, followed at an interval of about a dozen lengths. On passing the Stand the second time, Dilkoosh had obtained a lead of about six lengths, Master Bagot pulling hard, being second, Wild man and Sweetbriar next. At the half-mile post, Master Bagot began to draw forward, and Wildman also improved his position. On entering the straight, Master Bagot ran in close company with Dilkoosh to the distance, where the latter was beaten. Below the half-distance, Wildman made his effort, but failed to reach Master Bagot, who won in a canter by three lengths. The same distance sepa rated the second and third horses. Sweetbriar was a bad fourth. A lussiari. steamer, belonging to the Russian Steam-packet Company, has come in this morning from Naples, on her way to Malt a.

Yesterday evening the other brigade of the Ist Sicilian Division—that is, the 15th Division o f th e National Army—commanded by Colonel Bi x i o , went to the interior, on the road to Parco and Piana-dei-Greci. Its object is to go throu g h th e interior by another road, and unite with the first brigade, which has gone by the Catania road. This latter column left Misilmeri the day before yesterday, and went on to Villafrati, wh ere i t w i ll stop for a few days to organize and recruit, as well as to arrange the differences which party spirit has created in the interior. Of the Sicilians we can say, as of the Poles, wherever there are two of them together there are three parties. What license did in one case oppression has produced in the other. Afedici's column leaves to-day in the direction of Messina. Thus we shall have two divisions on march ; while these are organizing in the int er i or , the reserve will be formed here under the eye of the General himself. Mr. 14'i:water's Underhand, 6 yrs... (Withington) w. o, The masons of Leeds are agitating for the reduc tion of an hour's labour on the Monday. At present they are obliged to be at work at six o'clock in the morning, and as many of them live at a distance from the scene of their daily toil, they are obliged to leave their families on the Sunday night, as no train arrives in Leeds on the Monday morning early enough for the commencement of work. They are now asking the masters to allow them to begin at seven o'clock on the Monday morning, instead of six; and with the object of promoting this alteration a large meeting was held on Friday evening at the Angel Inn, Briggate. Whether the toasters will make the concession remains to be seen► There was yesterday a report that the Neapoli tans intended to send over 25,000 men under the orders of General Nunziata. So much the better ; they will thus spare us the trouble of seeking them. But I don't think it very probable. THE INSURRECTION IN SICILY. (From the Special Correspondent of the Times.) ( PALERMO, JUNE 23. The morning after the final evacuation of Paler mo by the Neapolitans Garibaldi called on the three Admirals, who have all since returned his visit. The French Admiral called the day after, and Admiral Mundy yesterday morning. As for the Sardinian and American Admiral, they had called once or twice before even the evacuation was completed. Thus Garibaldi is in regular official communication with the naval commanders of the foreign navies. The AuStrian commodore lull the day the Neapolitans departed, and with them went likewise the Austrian Consul and his family. As for the Consuls, they could not hitherto enter into official communication, being accredited to the Neapolitan Government, and dependent on their Ministers, who reside at Naples. But the Provi sional Government has Ali eady taken steps to send its representatives both to England and France. The very day the Neapolitans left, the official Gazette contained the nomination of the Principe di San Giuseppe as the representative of Sicily in England. The Prince has been a stanch Liberal all through, and has lived Fin exile. The next day the Principe San Sataldo was appointed in the same -4apacity-in France, tgliis activity - in - the first instance must be naturally very limited. Non-in tervention, the principle which all the Powers, France at the head of them, have recognised as the basis of the reorganisation of Italy, must be the great object of their mission for the moment. In deed the more they confine their mission to this cardinal point the better they will deserve their country. Let the subjects of the King of Naples settle their affairs with that Government, which all Powers have repeatedly and in vain tried to change for the better. Any arrangement beyond that is premature. Not that there is the slightest diffe rence of opinion here about the solution which the Sicilian question ought to take, almost every muni cipality having already sent in its adhesion to King Victor Emmanuel; but wishes of this kind only find a favourable ear when there is something be hind to back them up. As everywhere else in Italy, there has been a great change in Sicily with regard to political ideas. In 1848 there were but few who could raise themselves above local prejudices and narrow com binations. An independent Sicily, under the Prince of Carignan, was the last expression of this short sighted policy; now the conviction has become al most universal among thinking men, that an inde pendent and isolated kingdom of Sicily is a political impossibility, and would lead ultimately back to Bourbon dominion, and that Sicily can only be free as a part of Italy. Nay, the only difference of opi nion in this respect is the time, some thinking it necessary to convoke the national representatives immediately, and deelare the annexation; while the majority are of opinion that we should first arm, and then talk of annexation—decidedly the more practical manner of looking at the thing. I need not say that this is Garibaldi's opinion, and he ex pressed it the other day to a deputation to him which came to present an address. In eonseqence of this declaration on the part of Garibaldi some of the men who had accepted office have resigned. Among these is the Principe di Torrearsa, a Libe ral of 1848, and Baron Pisani, the Secretary for Foreign Affairs. Two days ago the Pretorio issued a proclama tion, in which it called upon the citizens to come and help in demolishing the face of the Castello-a- Mare looking towards the town. This Castello was, from the most ancient times, the Bastile of Palermo. It was rebuilt and strengthened by Charles V. to curb the turbulent population, and has ever since been used as a citadel and State prison. It occupies the point of the peninsula which formerly guarded the entrance to both ports of Palermo. One of the ports having been altogether filled up, and the other being considerably reduced, it has lost all its im portance as a work directed against ships. The face towards the sea, although looking old and neglected, has, however, the advantage of forming as it were a continuance of the wall of the town. It will be, therefore, preserved snd strengthened. The proclamation to demolish this hated object brought hundreds of volunteer workmen, who as sembled in the different quarters of the town, and, provided with crowbars, axes, and spades, went in companies of 50 and more to help in the demolition. Every one of the troops had contrived to get a band of music, and the work began by cheering and singing. Never did men, women and children work harder without being paid for it. Not the last among the workmen were the monks of the different religious communities, especially among the mendicant friars, Capuchins, Franciscans, &c. Whole monastries seemed to have turned out, and went lustily to work. You could see it was a work of love, or rather of hatred. The whole day the place was crowded with spectators beside, who encouraged by their applause every successful step in the work of demolition. If this ardour lasts, there will soon be little remaining. (tion of the ordinary means to test the solidity of the metal, the firing was continued, with the charge as above stated, up to the 50th round, when the firing was ordered to cease, and the gun, having been again examined and subjected to ample scrutiny was pronounced incapable of being burst or damaged under ordinary usage. In addition to the stipulated number of 12-pounder guns already completed in the Woolwich factory, 112 of larger dimensions (25- pounders) intended for service in the new class ot gunboats, have also been completed. Three 12- pounder guns, on Mr. I Vhitworth's principle, are also in a forward state of construetion, and arc in tended to be employed at the forthcoming competi tion at Shoeburyness. Capt. H. Savage, RE., who was tried nearly three weeks since by general court-martial at Chat ham, still remains under arrest, and although a considerable time has elapsed since the termination of the trial the finding of the Court has not yet been received from the authorities. Captain Savage was placed under arrest on the 22d of May, and was not informed for nearly three weeks afterwards that he was to be tried by court-martial. He has thus been altogether six weeks ander arrest. No reason has been assigned for this protracted delay on the part of the,military authorities-Whead-quarters. NATIONAL _RIFLE ASSOCIATION. Swiss have done—their best at the shorter ranges ; and that at the long distances ne superiority over their English competitors will be displayed. The contretseizureem O p f their arm s i s, h owever, an embarrassing s. It was announced on the ground yesterday that Mr. T. Fairbairn will give as a prize a Whitworth rifle, to be shot for by the Swiss alone ; the contest - will take place to-day, at the 500 yards range, five shots to each person. In return the Swiss give a Swiss rifle, to be contended for exclusively by vo lunteers, at the same range. The day of competi tion is not fixed. The first pair of targets on the left have been set apart for miscellaneous firing for " pool" prizes. A shilling is paid for each shot by anyone so in clined, and the sum produced is divided in the evening between those who have struck the bull's eye. The range is only 200 yards ; but the eye is also reduced in size to four inches' diameter. These targets were very attractive throughout the day. Lord Vernon made five hits in this open competition. Prince Albert was on the ground during the afternoon. The number of spectators was of course much less than on Monday, but the attendance was quite equal to what the association expected.

Pelham, C. 8., one of the Lords of the Admiralty, arrived at Devon port on Monday morning, and in the afternoon, ac companied by Rear-Admiral Sir T. Pasley, Admi ral - Superintendent of the DDekyard, went on board the screw steamship Hero, 91, Capt. Seymour, where a large party of ladies were assembled. Shortly after steam was got up, and the Hero left Hamoaze and proceeded into Plymouth Sound, where she will probably remain until the I'rince of Wales embarks. It is expected that the Channel fleet will wait outside the port and escort the Hero into the Atlantic. Her Majesty's paddlewheel steam-sloop Fire brand, 6, Commander Bruce, yesterday arrived at Greenhithe from the west, with orders to embark a cargo of naval stores and provisions for the use of the fleet about to convey his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales across the Atlantic. A couple of lighters, already freighted, were yesterday towed down to Greenhithe from Woolwich by the steam tug Bustler, Second Master Draper. The rendez vous of the ships and the port whence his Royal Highness will sail, as at present stated, has been fixed for Devonport, where the Cornwall Volunteers have solicited and have obtained- permission' to be irregent'at the Prince's embarkation and form a guard of honour, as representatives of the county from which his Royal Highness derives his title of Duke of Cornwall. The Mars, 80, was delayed at Yarmouth on Mon day by the loss of an anchor, and not the Centu• rion, 81, as erroneously stated in The Sun of yester day. The screw steam troopship Himalaya, Captain Seccombe, continues in the Sound. A portion of the Staff of the Astronomer Royal is expected to embark on Friday, and the :remainder, with Pro fessor Airey, on Saturday, when she will probably sail for the north coast of Spain. Yesterday the Pembroke, 60, Capt. Charlewood, left Harwich harbour to join the Channel fleet at Great Yarmouth. Nothing whatever has at present transpired from official or other quarters in confirmation of the re port of an intended naval review at Spithead prior to the departure of H.R.H. the Prince of Wales for Canada. The Ranger, 5, screw gunvessel, Commander H. R. Wratislaw, sailed from Spithead yesterday, at 11.30 a.tx., for the West Coast of Africa, taking a mail for Sierra Leone. The Ariadne, 26, screw, Capt. E. W. Vansittart, will sail from Spithead for Plymouth Sound to join the Royal squadron for Canada on Thursday even ing. Four additional cabins have been fitted up on her main deck for the accommodation of a portion of the Royal suite. The screw steam gunvessel Viper, 4, Commander W. N. W. Hewett, from Ascension May 14, and Fayal Jane 22, arrived in Plymouth Sound on Mon day evening. She left at Ascension her Majesty's paddlewheel steamvessel Spitfire, 5, Lieut. and Com mander Constantine 0. D. Allingham, under re pairs; the Meander, 44, Capt. W. F. Barnett, and the storeship Tortoise; and at Fayal, the American bark Azor, of Boston, trading. The Viper was com missioned on the 12th Nov., 1857, and has been on duty on the West Coast of Africa, principally on the southern part of the station. She has captured five prizes (three of which are payable), viz.:—June 20, 1858, off the Congo, the brigantine St. Andrew, with valuable cargo and £1,200 in specie. Sept. 15, 1868, off Cologo, the fore and aft schooner Kate Ellen, found at anchor deserted by the crew, sup posed to be Spaniards who had mutinied ; she was sent to Sierra Leone. Oct. 11, 1858, off Banda Point, a brigantine, supposed to be the Rufus Soule, with American flag ; she was burnt. June 15, 1859, off the Island of Annabon, the brigantine Rosa ; no papers or colours ; £3lO in specie ; Spanish crew burnt. And Nov. 4, 1859, off Arekalo, the brigantine Cavanier ; she had shipped 520 slaves the night before, and was sent to St. Helena, The Viper brings two seamen and one marine, invalids from the Fawn, and one marine, wife, and family from Ascension. Mr. Charles Keys, gunner of the Viper, died of fever Nov. 15. After leaving Fayal she experienced light winds, principally from the north-west, and spoke, May 21, in lat 1 25 N, long 23 31 W, the American brigantine Ocean Eagle, bound for New York; 24th, in lat 5 38 N, long 23 38 W, communicated with the ship Yanwith, bound for Valparaiso; 29th, in lat 12 36 N, long 24 18 W, exchanged colours with the Eng lish bark Snowdrop, standing to the southward ; June 14th, in lat 34 36 N, picked up a small white boat, bottom up ; 30th, in lat 48 7 N, long 9 6 W, saw a large ship, painted green, with name on ensign, supposed to be the Ethiope ; July 1, lat 48 5 N, long 6 48 W, passed her Majesty's screw steam frigate Bacchante, 51, Capt. D. M'L. Mackenzie, flag of Rear-Admiral Sir Thomas Maitland. The Viper is rotten about the stern, and has a leak each side of her sternpost, which has kept one pump constantly going. The Locust, 3, paddlewheel steamvessel, 100- horse power, Lieut. and Commander J. B. Field, is ordered to be put out of commission without delay. The Rodney, 500-horse power, recently converted from a sailing to a 91 screw steamship at the Chatham dockyard, left her moorings at Sheerness harbour yesterday morning, and proceeded to the Mapling Sands to test her engines at the measured mile. The trial was most successful, the working of the engines exceeding the most sanguine expecta tions of the builders, Messrs. Maudslay, Son, and Field. The vessel attained an average speed of 111 knots ; average revolutions, 71; draught of water aft, 21ft. 6in.; forward, 18ft. 9in. ; diameter of screw, 18ft. ; pitch, 16ft. bin. ; length, 3ft. Gin. The trial was under the superintendence of Captain Schomberg, Commander Lloyd, Mr. W. Price (in spector of machinery afloat at Sheerness), Mr. T. Baker (chief engineer, Chatham dockyard), and Mr. Moore (assistant-master-shipwright of Chatham dockyard), on the part of the Government ; and, on the part of the contractors, Messrs. Field, Herbert Maudslay, and Mr. Warren, manager. A remark able feature in the Rodney, which is worthy of notice, is the admirable system of ventilation adopted by Mr. Baker, by which a constant current of fresh air is made to pass through the stokehole, thereby rendering the vessel much cooler and more healthy to the men employed than is the case in vessels as ordinarily constructed. one actual business of the Wimbledon meeting commenced yesterday ; the Volunteers began their work at 9 o'clock, and continued till half-past five. The little firing that took place after the departure of the Queen on Monday was no more than an open ing essay, the preface to the volume, or the light skirmish before the battle. The duties of the day had also somewhat unfitted the competitors for the con test ; they had been under arms for many hours, and engaged in keeping the ground. Yesterday there was not only more firing, but it was much better, as the returns prove. The number of volun teers who have entered themselves for the match is 331 ; on Monday afternoon 320 took part in the firing, there being a few absentees. Only three took honours, but yesterday has produced a much longer list of the skilful. The first prize contended for was one given by the association-20 Whitworth rifles, one to each of the best 20 shots, and a silver medal in addition to the best shot of the 20. This band of victors will be entitled to compete for the Queen's prize of £250, and the honour of being admitted to the same competition is also extended to the 20 next best shots to those who win the rifles. The prize weapons lie side by .side in a tent for inspection ; they are fondly handled by amateurs, and curiously eyed by the less appreciative. The shooting for these prizes occupied the volunteers the whole of the day. The conditions were that each competitor was limited to five shots at each range, of 300, 500, and 600 yards. The rifle used was the Enfield, of the Government pattern of 1853. At the range A (of 300 yards) the target was 6 feet by 4, with an 8-inch bull's-eye and 2 feet centre ;at ranges B and C (500 and 600 yards) the target was an exact square of 6 feet, with a two feet centre, and no bull's eye. All ties in the competition at these three ranges are decided by those who have scored equally firing one shot each at the longest distance--600. The following list of the volunteers who made the greatest number of points for this prize and on these conditions gives the result of the firing, which did not close till past 5 o'clock, The number of points include all that were made at all three ranges : )Baker—Bristol Gibbs—Bristol Lawley—Derby Howard—Essex .. • Blackburn—Edinburgh ..

For "all corners of all nations" there are four separate series of prizes, increasing in value from £2O to £5O according to the distances, seven sums of £2O for the best seven shots at 200 yards; £3O each for the best seven shots at 300 yards ; £4O each for the best seven at 500 yards ; and £5O each for the best five at 600 yards, with the Army and Navy Gazette prize of £2O, and rifle given by Mr. Egan to the other two. Only the prizes of the first two ranges, 200 and 300 yards, were decided yes terday. The Swiss were, of course, competitors in this contest. Any rifle was used, provided it did not exceed 101 b. in weight, and had not a hair trigger.

The Swiss Deputation use the Enfield rifle, not exactly from choice, but in consequence of an un toward accident that befell them when crossing the French frontier on their way to England. The French Custom-house officials seized and detained the rifles of the travellers, though they had taken the precaution t o prov id e themselves with a certi ficate from th e F rench Consul-Genera l i n Switzer land, stating the reason they were c arried, and the object of the journ e y. Th e French officials were probably susiiieious of Swiss arms at the present juncture, for no remonstrance availed anything, time pressed, and the Swiss Deputation arrived without their rifles. Th ey believe that had thi s rigorous seizure been made known to the Emperor an immediate order would have been tele graphed for the delivery of the rifles ; but the communica tion could not be, or was not made, a n d the wea pons that should have won renown at Wimbled on are sleeping ingloriously in the Fre nc h Douane. The reason why the Swiss appeared on th e ground on Monday with out arms is thus v ery sufficiently explained. It is a general impression that the TEE ARMY. Lieut.-Gen, Sir J. F. Love, Inspector-Gen. of In fantry, has just made his periodical visit to the In dian depot, at Warley, near Brentwood. A total of 165 officers and 5,971 non-commissioned officers and men will be despatched to India in the course of the present month. Major Hawkins's field battery, Royal Artillery, consisting of Capt. Percival, Lieuts. Drysdale, Stratton, and Murray, Assist.-Surg. Hogg, and Vet.-Surg. Anderson, left Christchurch, on Mon day morning, to march to Hilsea barracks, Ports mouth, there to be quartered until further orders. The battery strength is 104 horses, 10 sergeants, 5 corporals, and 210 gunners and drivers, with their guns and ammunition waggons. In order to substantiate the extreme strength claimed for the Armstrong gun under the highest possible charge of powder and shot, one of the 12-pounder guns recently turned out in the Woolwich factory, having been ordered to undergo an additional proof for the satisfaction of the War Department and the country, was yes terday submitted to a most rigid trial. The gun was loaded and fired with every ounce of powder which the chamber was capable of containing, to which was added a long cylinder or bar of solid iron, equivalent to five ordinary shot. This charge was repeated and fired in a dozen rounds, and after a careful searching of the interior, and the applica- 711 E NEAPOLITAN CONSITUTION. Accounts received direct from Naples, of the 26th ult., state that it was after a long conference with his uncles, the Count d'Aquila and the Count de Trapani that the King came to the decision of granting liberal institutions to his people. The young Queen was present at the conference. On the following day the two Princes, who had pre viously had several conversations with Baron Brenier, went to the French embassy, and re mained there for a long time. On the 25th the following proclawation was posted up on the walls of Naples : "SOVEREIGN ACT. " Being desirous of giving to our well-beloved subjects a proof of our kindness, we have decided on granting to the kingdom constitutional institu tions and repr esen t at i ves in harmony with the principles and interests of Italian:nationality. We act thus in order to secure the tranquillity and prosperity of the people whom Providence has called us to govern. In consequence, and to attain the above object, we decree the following resolu tions : " 1. We grant a general amnesty for all political offence. committed up to this day : "2. We have charged Commander Antonio Spinelli with the formation of a new Ministry, which will draw up in the shortest possible delay the articles of the statute, based on Italian and national representation :- 3. There shall be established with the king of Sardinia an accord for the common interests of the two crowns in Italy; "4. Our flag shall henceforth bear the three Italian colours, arranged in three vertical bands, bearing in the centre the arms of our dynasty ; " 5. As to Sicily, we grant it similar representa tive institutions, capable of satisfying all the wants of the inhabitants of the island; one of the Princes of our Royal house shall be there installed as Viceroy. " Done at the Palace of Portici, the 15th of June, 1860. " FRANCOIS." The general expectation was that after this procla mation, the constitution would have been imme diately promulgated, but that act has not yet been realised, in consequence of the difficulties which Commander Spinelli met with in the formation of a Cabinet. He would not have accomplished his task, it is said, but for the active intervention of the Count d'Aquila. The following are some details respecting the new constitutional Ministers of Naples : " President of the Council, M. Spinelli, was chief of the Cabinet which, in 1848, was charged to draw up the basis of the constitution, but as he could not cause his liberal ideas to prevail he retired, and has not since quitted private life. M. de Martino, Minister of Foreign Affairs, was at one time Consul-General of the Two Sicilies at Marseilles, and afterwards Ambassador at Rome: He quite recently, as is known, fulfilled a mission to the Emperor Napoleon, and has always been favourable to a liberal policy. M. dei Re, Minister of the Interior, has never been concerned in politics, but is experienced as an administrator. M. Manna, Minister of Finance, held the same post in 1848 ; is a distinguished. economist, and is liberal and en lightened. Prince de Torella, Minister of Eccle siastical Affairs, was also Minister in 1848, and was only three months since released from prison. M. de la Grecca, Minister of Public Works, formerly a deputy, is particularly well versed in railway ques tions. Admiral Garofalo, Minister of Marine, di rected the Board of Admiralty for many years, he is nearly 75 years of age. In the time of Murat, whose cause he espoused, he kucceeded in taking from Baia to Naples the corvette Curere, though she was hotly pursued by the English cruisers and was riddled by their shot,. For this exploit Murat deco rated him with the Legion of Honour. M. Ritucci, Minister of War, is an officer of distinction. In 1848, as commander of a regiment of light infantry, he crossed the Po with Pepe, and in spite of orders from his Government he for several months assisted him in defending Venice. He afterwards, in obe dience to new orders, took back his regiment to Naples. Of M. Morelli nothing is known." REA. LTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Registrar-General's Report.) The deaths registered in London in the week that ended last Saturday were 1,001, and exhibit a slight' increase on the number (965) returned in the previous week. In the ten years 1850-9 the average number of deaths in the weeks corresponding with last week was 1,106 ' • but, as the death s i n th e present return occurred in an increased population, they should be compared with the average when it is raised in proportion to the increase—namely, with 1,217. Hence it appears that the deaths of last week were less by 216 than they would have been if the average rate of mortality at this season of the year had prevailed. The births registered exceeded the deaths by 731. The deaths by zymotic diseases were 197; the average number in corresponding weeks corrected for increased popu lation is 274. Under this head are included 65 deaths by measles, 10 from smallpox, 25 from whooping -cough, 23 from scarlatina, and 8 from diphtheria. Pulmonary diseases, exclusive of phthisis and whooping -cough, were fatal in 130 cases, bron chitis carrying off 53, and pneumonia 49 persons. 118 persons died from affections of the brain and nervous system, 49 from diseases of the heart, and 56 from diseases of the digestive organs. Three deaths are recorded from tetanus. Two of these cases were the result of injury; the third case is that of a woman, aged 22, who died from "tetanic convulsions." No deaths are returned this week as arising front burns or scalds, which is rather an unusual but gratifying circumstance. Five infants were suffocated in bed, and the wife of a coalwhip per was suffocated in consequence of the abuse of intoxicating drinks. A child aged 11 years was accidentally poisoned by strychnia. Four nonagenarians died during the week. The oldest was the widow of a coachman, who had at tained the age of 97 years. Last week the births of 859 boys and 872 girls, in all 1,731 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1850-59 the average number was 1,634. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.767 in. The highest barometrical reading occurred on Sa - Nrday, when it was 30.13 in.
