CITY, Two O'CLOCK. A further large amount of gold, namely £240,000, was yesterday added to the stock of bullion held in the Bank vaults. It is, therefore, presumed that the total must now represent about £19,600,000; and there is every probability that during the next few I S days a further considerable accumulation will take place. The present state of the Eastern and continental exchanges prevents the expor- tation . of specie ; and. there being no other demand for the supplies that arrive from Australia and New York, they are scut into the Bank of England as the only available market for their disposal. The stock of the precious metals is now nearly equal to what it was in the early part of 1853, when it will be remembered the rate of dis- si count was 21 per cent. ; and it may be remarked that the reserve of notes is considerably larger than s : it was at that period. Many are, therefore, still of Do opinion th a t th e au th or iti e s will soon announce 1 , co n ck Edinburg and Glasgow increased discount facilities, notwithstanding the s lO k V'o d r h tie& e gly ' 4` k e l 'un cll ee on temporary augmentation in the demand for money Lock Furness L oc k Glasgow & South Westn lately experienced. • 10 Great North of Scotland It is stat e d th a t th e n egotiations between the' L e o/ Gr i Lat . ,T o o . r i tN t i , i )ek , Great Western and North-Western Companies Stock _ Do. do.

The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed quietly, yet firmly, at about previous quotations. The sales were estimated at 6,000 bales. In the Railway Share Market only a very limited business Was transacted, and prices slightly receded. Foreign Securities are steady, and quotations are firm.

A. very limited amount of business has been transacted in the Railway Share Market, and most of the principal lines are at a decline of about to 1 per cent. on yesterday's closing rates. Brighton, North-Western, Midland, and North- Eastern (Berwick) have receded 10s.; and Cale donian, Great Northern, North British, and South- Eastern, £1 ; Eastern Counties and Great Western have improved about ss. The Foreign lines are at previous quotations, but the Colonial undertakings show a downward tendency. East Indian have declined £1 ; Grand Trunk of Canada, 10s. ; and Great Western of Canada, 10s.

The expenditure of the navy in 18 56-57, amounted to £14,664,091 4s. 10d. while the par liamentary grants for that service amounted to £16,568,614, thus showing a surplus of receipts over expenditure of £ 1 ,904,100 6s. 9d. after deducting £432 Bs. 'dd., an amount Witten off as irrecoverable from naval defaulters. In eleven of the items of expenditure the outlay was £2,493,139 15s. 7d. less than the original estimate ; in the seven other items of which the expenditure is composed the outlay exceeded the original estimate by £588,607 Os. sd. The army and militia expenditure for the same year reached £21,114,210 15s. Bd., whereas the .sum granted by Parlia ment for the service was only £20,478,034. In 14 items the actual expenditure was £556,605 less than the grants ; but in the other seven items of the account the grants were exceeded by £1,192,782 Os. 7d. The difference between the receipts and the expenditure was made up by drawing upon the vote for the extraordinary expenses of the Russian war. THE NEW CAMEL Conrs.-The new Camel Corps is thus described by an Allahabad correspondent of the _Delhi Gazette :—" Last evening, the Governor-General, w Commander-in-Chief, and suite, w ere out on the maidan re viewing the Camel Corps, about 400 of these ungainly beasts going through military evolutions. It was a novel and curious spectacle to see these animals pe r forming almost all the movements of cavalry. Besides the native driver (who is of course armed) there is on every camel a hardy Briton who occupies the back seat, and is quite in a position to use his rifle. The camels are well trained to the word of command. On a recognised touch of the guiding-string down would they drop on their knees, the rifleman would be off in a second and go into sk irmishin g order till the word of recall was issued, when they would sho o t b ac k t o th e i r p l aces, remoun t, an d almost simulta. - nsDusly, like a brown mass growing out of the ground , Would - the camels regain their feet (so to speak) in their own awkward mode—that is first their hinder parts and then their long stretching necks You can fancy what a rare scene the whole was. ' A TIGRESS IN A TRAP.—A full-grown tigress was killed on Thursday, on the farm of Mr. 'W. van Oudt shoorn, Witteboomen, Constantia. One of Mr. van Oudt shoorn's men having sustained much injury in his garden by porcupines, placed a trap in a bush about 40 yards from his pondok. The following morning., his wife going to see whether anything was caught, found the chain broken and the trap gone ; when she, following the spoor, discovered, about ten yards from there, the trap with a tigress in it, on which she gave alarm. Mr. van Oudtshoorn, with his gun, two hounds, and four men, proceeded to the spot ; but be fore he could shoot the animal, the men (being in advance) despatched her with their knobkerries. She measures, from floes to tip of tail, 6 foot 8 inches.—Cape Argun. Closing I Business Paid. , r cc. Done. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.) I Closing \ Business Share Railways. Paid.

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY' .EVENING, OCTOBER 6; 1858. I.IJV INTELLIGENCE.--(THIS DAY.) CLAILItt V• TILE GENERAL STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY -IMPORTANT TO PERSONS TRAVELLING BY STEAM This was an action brought to recover the sum of £1 paid by plaintiff in excess of the fixed rates of travelling charges on the journey from London to Edinburgh and back. Mr- Winkles represented the company. Plaintiff stated that he and his son went on board the company's boat going to Edinburgh, and when half over tile journey he applied to the captain for a return ticket for the two. He was informed by the captain that he had no p cwer to grant return tickets, and he (plaintiff) must pa? the full fare. The return tickets were 30s. the double journey, and the single fares £1 each way. Plaintiff had t:.`een in the habit of travailing by defendants' Yarmouth boats, and then the captain had the power to issue the return tickets. Mr. Winkles insisted that as the company appointed an officer to issue the tickets prior to the starting of the boat, it was plaintiff's duty to have taken one of him. Again, plaintiff was directed by the bill issued by the company to apply to the chief office, in Lombard street, to obtain berths and pay passage. The plaintiff had gone half the journey before he applied for his ticket. The journey to Yarmouth was 'a short passage, and that to Edinburgh was a long one, and the company, as a privilege to the public, sent a man on board to issue return tickets. The captain had no power to do so. ..... His Honour would like to know if a person came on board in a little boat from Greenwich would he not get a return ticket from Edinburgh? Mr. Winkles—:Certainly not. It is the rule of the com pany not to issue return tickets after the sailing of the vessel. In some instances the person authorised to issue them has gone a short distance in the boat for the accom modation of the public. His Honour always thought the captain the agent of the company, and there was nothing on defendant's bill which notified to the pOlic that they could" not get return tickets from the captain. Passengers who had travelled by the Yarmouth boais assumed that they could do so, and there fore his Honour would give a verdict for plaintiff. It would be as well for the company, who greatly Accommodated the public, to notify on their bills 'that the capi.ain could not issue return tickets on the Edinburgh journey. Mr. Winkles said the company were always satisfied with his Honour's decision, and would adopt his advice. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.--(This Day.) XEEPING DISORDERLY HORSES IN WESTMINSTER. Edward Kelly, a man of about 45 years of age, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with keeping certain houses in King's Head-court, Westminster, for the pur poses of prostitution. Mr. Bodkin, who appeared for the prosecution, said he should call a few witnesses to prove the extent to which the prisoner had carried on his detestable business. Police-constable 100 B said—l' have known the court in which the prisoner resided for a number of years. I have frequently been called upon to quell disturh ances occasioned by the quarrelling of disorderly prostithtes. The prisoner kept a number of houses in King's head-court, which he entirely devoted to the purpose of prostitution. I have seen girls, between the ages of fourteen and fifteen, go into them at all hours of the night with men. I have also frequently seen women quarrelling with the prisoner for harbouring and encouraging their children to Come to his place. By Mr. Metcalfe, who appeared for the prisoner—The neighbourhood of the Broadway, Westminster, has for the last ten years been getting worse and worse, but not more so:than other parts of London--the Haymarket, for instance. Women, all the time I have known the place, have been in the habit of loitering about the top of the court, talking to all sorts of persons. I have seen numbers of soldiers enter the house kept by the prisoner. By Mr. Bodkin 7 -The inhabitants residing in the vicinity of the court have continually complained of the nuisance. Police-constable Carr, 206 B, said—l know the defendant. 1 recollect' a man, one evening, complaining of having teen robbed of his watch in one of his houses. I went to him and asked him to lend me a candle to search for the missing article. He refused, in a very abrupt manner, and when I told him the house ought to be indicted, he used a very obscene expression, and told me to get out as soon as I could. I recollect a man coming to Kelly's house to look for his daughter. He did not find her. I watched the house all the next night, and I saw har go in accompanied by three other girls. The father again called for his daughter, and was very much enraged with Kelly for harbouring his child, and complained that her clothes had been changed for others of a tawdry description. When the girl was going away, Kelly demanded money for the two nights' lodging. _ _ Committed for a month. THAMES. SUN OFFICE, Seven. o'clock, HARROW RACES. THIS DAY. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) HANDICAP HURDLE RACE. Three ran. COPELAND HANDICAP. Three ran. MIDDLESEX STAKES. By Mr. Metcalf—The houses are not common lodging houses—they are brothels of the lowest description. When I went to the prisoner's house to look far the man's watch, I had no need of calling ,the prisoner up, although it was in the middle off the' night, He was - alwdys up, and wide awake, (Laughter.) Whenever them was a row in the court, the prisoner was amongst the first in the mob. Mr. Young, leather seller, living in the Broadway, said —I am one of the parties who have complained to the paro chial authorities with respect to the brothels kept by the prisoner. I have seen Kelly and his wife standing at the corner of the court, and afterwards enter several of the houses. I have heard that the inhabitants have com plained of women having been seen in a state of nudity dancing in the prisoner's room. Since the prosecu tion has been instituted the houses in King's Head-court have been shut up, but I have heard that the prisoner has lately given £7OO for two houses at the top of York-street. For the last ten years the greatest annoyance has been occasioned by the prostitutes frequent ing the houses kept by the prisoner. The Prisoner How long do yod say I've kept the houses ? Witness—l don't know. I only know that for the time I have mentioned the neighbourhood has been annoyed by scenes of the greatest immorality. Mr. Farrell, a native of Ireland, an inhabitant of King's Head-court, said—l know the houses kept by the prisoner too well. I have never had rest night or day for years. (Laughter.) lam continually annoyed. Thieves, robbers, greeks (laughter), and the scum of St.Giles' enter the houses kept by the prisoner. It did not matter to him how bad they were. He never inquired into their character. (Laugh ter.) He never asked for the marriage certificate —(laugh ter)—of the men and women who lodged in his house. 114 kept eight houses in the court, all of which he devoted to the worst pirposes. Robberies, burglaries—(laughter) — murders—(laughter)—and all bad things were done in those houses. I have seen girls dancing in some of the rooms in the same state in which they were born. (Laughter.) I have also seen fathers and mothers come to the prisoner and ask him for their daughters. Mr. Metcalfe—l suppose you mean the jury to under stand you were disturbed in your bed. Witness—Disturbed in my bed—rather ! (Laughter.) I have had no rest for the last test years, for the robberies, burglaries, and murders in the house. (Laughter.) Mr. Metcalfe—You don't mean to say that parties have been actually murdered in the house ? • Witness—No, no one actually killed. (Laughter.) Mr. Metcalfe—l suppose the principal cause which led you to complain against the prisoner's house was that you were annoyed by the young ladies ? Witness—The young ladies, as you call them, don't in terfere with me. lam too old for that now ; but they might have done so when I was a young man. (Laughter.) Oh, no, the prisoner's a bad man. He's neither a soldier nor a friend of his country. (Laughter.) He's a bad fellow, and he look's it. He wants to be king of the court. How can he wear a gold watch which ho has got, if he did not get it by roguery ? (Laughter.) He's a bad man, and I am sure he'll never see God Almighty. He's a bad fellow—a bad fellow. The witness then left the box loudly exclaiming against the prisoner. The learned judge said the prisoner had been guilty of a misdemeanour, under very aggravated circumstances. After remarking upon the wholesale and disgusting manner in which the prisoner had carried on his detestable business he sentenced him to pay: a fine of £lO and also .to be com mitted for six months to the House of Correction With hard labour. Sophia Jackson pleaded guilty to a similar indictment, but the parish authorities did not press for a severe punish ment, because " she had frequently assisted the Scripture Readers when they visited her locality, and had shut up her house." She was ordered to enter into her own recognizances to come up for judgment when called upon. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day), MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A DANGEROUS MENDICANT.—Thomas Kelly, a deter mined beggar, dressed in a soldier's undress uniform, was charged with begging and assaulting a constable. Smith, 28 C, said that about seven last evening his atten tion was called to the prisoner by a gentleman who com plainedevery respectable person who that he was annoying passed him. He saw the prisoner go into a shop, strike the floor with a stick which he carried, and demand relief, saying he was " a poor soldier." He watched him a little farther, and saw him go in front of two gentlemen, thrust out his stick, and heard him cry out "halt," and ask for relief. He then took him into custody, on which he threw a handful of tracts into his face and gave him a violent blow with the stick, and he was also very violent at the station-house. The prisoner, who formerly was a soldier, but was dis missed out of the regiment in consequence of his bad cha racter, and is one of a numerouz class of beggars who do not ask relief but demand it, was committed for three months with hard labour. ASSAULT ON A DOCTOR Sh e en Sheen was charged with the following impudent assault on Mr. William Henry Sherwood, M.D., of 5, Richmond-terrace. Mr. Sherwood Said, on the previous night he was waiting et the end of Oxford-street, with his little boy, for an'orani- bus, when the prisoner came behiitd tn and deliberately knocked his hat off, and kicked it into th e road. Taking it as the act of a drunken woman, h e walk ed on, but .on its being immediately afterwards repented, and knowing that such things are often done for the purpose of causing crowds to assemble for the purposes of robbery, on public grounds he gave her into custody. _ _ _ A constable said she was drunk, and male 480 of very bad language. THE PASSPORT SYSTEM.—Mr. Victor, a manly-.looking English gentleman, residing in Church-lane, IVb itechapel, applied to Mr. Yardley for a recommendation for a, passport to enable him and his - laughter to travel through France. Mr. Yardley—ls there any one here who knows. you, Mr. Victor ? Mr. Victor referred to Mr. Johnson, of Jamriica-street, Stepney, who stepped forward and said that Mr. Victor was a most respectable man. Mr. Yardley—lle don't look much like a nonspirator. (A laugh.) Are you known to any one here, Mr. Johnson'? Mr. Johnson looked round the court, and no one recog— nised him. Mr. Yardley—You are only known to the unknown 111:r. Victor, and I cannot comply with your request. Do yoga know this gentleman, inspector ? Inspector Griffin, of the K division, replied in the nega tive. Mr. Victor put into the hands of the Magistrate several letters and documents, which he said would prove he wars the person he represented himself to be. Mr. Yardley had no doubt the applicant was a most re spectable man, and that neither he nor his daughter intend ed to visit France with any hostile intentions towards the rul ing authorities, but he must have a recognition from sorae one known to him or the officers of the court, or otherwise his functions would be a mere farce. Mr. Victor—lt is only a little girl who is about to vi sit France that I require a passport for. Mr. Yardley—We are called upon to do a particular duty, and we must do it effectually, and I cannot give you, a passport until I know who you are. Are you a Briti Fh subject ? Mr. Victor—l am, sir, and was born in Lincolnshire. Mr. Yardley—Very well; inquiries shall be made about you. I suppose you don't want my certificate directly?' Mr. Victor—Yes, sir ; I want to apply at the Fore'ign office for a passport this day. Mr. Yardley—Very well, sir ; an officer shall accompr ny you to Whitechapel, and when you are recognised by- any respectable person known to the officer, come back 'with him, and I will give you the document you require. Mr. Victor bowed and retired with Howland, an, officer of the court. THIRD. EDITION.

Scarcely any fresh English wheat was on sale in to-day's market, but we had several of Monday's unsold samples on offer, For all kinds the demand ruled very inactive, but without leading to any change in the quotations. There was a very extensive supply of foreign wheat on the Stands, fresh as well as ex-granary. Millers purchase.' with extreme caution, and the value of some kinds was nominally unaltered. In floating cargoes of grain, off Falmouth, very little was passing. Fine barley for malting purposes was held at full quota ions, but grinding and distilling sorts were rather lower to purchase. Malt sold slowly, but we have no change to notice in its value. We were again largely supplied with oath, and the de• wand for them was inactive, on former terms. Beans, peas, and flour were dull, at Monday's currency. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Oats. Flour 70 I 320 2,450 I I 34,780 I Wheat. Barley. Malt.

SPORTING NOTES. The meeting which was inaugurated at Harrow was an indisputable success, and Mr. Topham will, I presume, have little cause to regret his racing venture in that locality. Although it is difficult to prognosticate the future of newly established gatherings, yet the manner in which things passed off at Uxendon inclines me to regard the ultimate success of Mr. Topham's project as a certainty. The course is very beautifully situated, and from its elevated situation visitors ware enabled to enjoy• a rare prospect of the sur rounding landscape. Cockneydom was powerfully repre sented, and along the lanes streamed such an enormous number of " Hansoms" that I began to wonder if there were any of that class of vehicles left to accommodate the citizens left behind in the modern Babylon. The "fields" were not particularly strong, but the animals who took part in the different encounters were of a somewhat superior "class." Mr. T. Stevens's clever little colt, Ar dour, won in his old style, but people were rather surprised to see Newcastle no nearer the front at the finish. To-day is the grand day at Harrow, and in all probability it will be crowned with a success even superior to that which characterised the proceedings yesterday. Bedford, Hereford, and Richmond commence to-morrow, but :the attention of turfites will be almost exclusively directed to the meeting on the Home Circuit. Joyeuse, despite her 31b. penalty, ought to win the Bedford Two- Year-Old Stakes, and I think old Romeo may be able to beat the very moderate lot left in the Bedfordshire Stakes ; if he is beaten, it will probably be by Neva. The Produce Stakes I award to Queen Charlotte ; Fractious and The Speaker look as well in as anything for the Surrey. The other items at this ducal meeting are unclosed. I expect to see Lucia, della Robbia victorious for the Hereford Handicap ; the Express Handicap lies be tween Apollo and Clara Webster —my preference is for the former. Table Bay or Linda ought to win 'the Nursery, and Misty Morn the Cup. The result of the Licensed Victuallers' Plate and the Juvenile Handicap Plate will depend upon previous running. The Richmond meeting is the last of the Yorkshire series this season, and it will, doubtless, be a very success ful affair. Cornlylro' or Dacrow may win the Richmond Handicap, Shafto, if meant, ought to win one of his races at least. A FRESH MAN. THE LATE FATAL RAILWAY ACCI DENT NEAR DUDLEY. • SPECIAL VERDICT OF THE JURY. BRIERLEY MILL, TUESDAY. The jury empannelled as to the deaths of the 13 persons killed by the collision which took place be tween the Brettel-lane and Round-oak stations of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Rail way on 23d August, reassembled yesterday for the seventh time, for the purpose of concluding their investigation, at the Bell Inn at this place. It had been arranged, after the termination of the evidence on Thursday last, that the coroner should read through the voluminous depositions, and that after that the inquiry should'be adjourned till two this afternoon, when he would proceed to sum up the evidence. At the hour appointed the jury reassembled, and Mr. Sheriff, general manager; Mr. E. Wilson, en ineer ; Mr. W. T. Adcock, secretary ; with Mr. Wood, of the general manager's office, and other authorities of the company, together with Mr. King of the firm of Collis, Bernard, and King, of Stour bridge, were present, as were also the several legal gentlemen who had been watching the inquiry on behalf of the relatives and friends of the deceased parties. - _ The Coroner, on taking his seat, inquired if Cooke the guard of the excursion train, was in attendance, and being answered in the affirmative, Cook e wa s called before the jury. , The Coroner addressing him said—You are called before the jury, and it is my duty to ask you if von have any other statement to make in addition to the evidence you have already given, and which has been read. over to you. If have it will' zie taken down by me inwriting, ana May be used as evidence against you at your trial, if it should be7rriy duty to commit you, and if the jury should find you guilty. Cooke replied that he had nothing to add to the eviO.Lence he had already given. The Coroner then proceeded to address the jury. He remarked that he had to thank them for the great patience they had bestowed upon this very painful investigation, which he doubted not would prove to the benefit of the public at large. Ile should detain them as short a time as possible in recapitulating the evidence which had been pre sented to their notice. It appeared that on the 23d of August last Mr. Sheriff, the general manager of the Oxford, Worcester; and Wolverhampton Com pany, issued a placard signed by his name for an excursion of school children, their parents, and teachers, from Wolverhampton to Worcester, at a shilling less than the usual fare, and that a great number .of people other than the parents and teachers availed themselves of the excursion. Mr. Sheriff in his evidence stated that all the minor points in .connection with the excursion train and its passage to and from Worcester were entrusted to Mr. Adcock, the secretary and superintendent, and Mr. Harris, his assistant. The coroner then proceeded to recapitulate the evidence relating to the morning journey from Wolverhampton to Wor cester, when the coupling irons of some of the car riages were represented as having broken twic during that journey. He then referred to the se paration of the train on the return journey from `Worcester in the evening—the first portion of the train, consisting of 28 carriages and a break van, and the latter portion of 16 carriages and a break van. Having detailed their. course up to the point of the collision between the Round-oak and Brettel- • lane stations, when the coupling-irons separated, permitting 14 or 15 carriages and break to run down the incline, he proceeded to observe that it was his duty to beg of them to dismiss from their minds any prejudice of whatever description which they might have heard out of doors with reference to the sub ject of the inquiry. He would, however, observe, in reference to the quality of the iron, that it had. been stated in evidence that the iron was of fhir quality of which the shackles were composed, and through which the accident happened at Round oak. It was, he must say, strongly asserted by scientific men of great experience, that Cooke had not his break on in proper time after leaving the ROund-oak station, and which, had it been so, would have prevented the lamentable occurrence ; stud, consequently, would have obviated the neces sity of the jury being present on such a painful in quiry. He must, however, tell them that if Cooke did not put on his break in the ordinary perform ance of his duty as guard on that occasion, a ver dict of manslaughter must be returned against him. It was, however, for them to consider whether the evidence led to such a conclusion. The jury then, at four o'clock, retired, and at half-past six returned a verdict of manslaughter against Cooke, the guard. The following appendix was also agreed to by nine of the jury, and dis sented from by five :—" The jury, in giving their_ . verdict in this very important inquiry, teel they -are called upon to deliver their opinion,- and in the - performance- of their :duty to the public ,to, pro nounce their opinion as to the general manage ment of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhamp ton Railway, derived from the official evidence that has been produced before them on - this occasion— namely, that of gross insubordinate conduct on the part of their station-master, in the apparent uncon cern of the higher authorities thereto, that suffi cient care is not used in selecting the materials, such as chains, shackles, &c., and also as to quality and workmanship. That from the apparent irresponsibility of officials of the com pany, from the highest teP the lowest, it is the opinion of the jury that a suffi cient number of servants are not employed at their - various stations for the safety and comfort of the public. The jury also censure in the strongest terms the practice of allowing the public to ride in the second-class break carriages, where the break is exposed to the use of passengers, and unprotected by any servant of the company." The Coroner stated that he could only receive the verdict of manslaughter, and could only enter that on the requisition. Ile. accordingly issued his warrant for the apprehension of Cooke, who, being in attendance, was immediately taken into:cutody. The Coroner then adjourned the Court until four . o'clock to-morrow (this day) for the purposelof having the requisition signed by the jury. THE PUBLIC HEALTH. om the Registrar-Gencrars Rettt;•n.) The deaths in London, which had fallen consider ably below a thousand in the previous week, rose in the week ending last Saturday, Oct. 2, to 1021. In the ten years 1848-57 the average number of deaths in the weeks corresponding with last week was 1284 ; and as the number now returned oc curred in an increased population, and the average, if raised in proportion to that increase, becomes 1412, a rate of mortality diminished to the extent shown by a comparison of these numbers will ap pear an eminently favourable result. If, however, the excess of deaths that arose in epidemic seasons is withdrawn from the above average, the compa rison will still give a reduction of 240, to show that the present time is unusually healthy. Sixty-three districts of England in which the mortality is least have been selected, and their average rate of mortality in the last three months of the year has been ascertained. If the deaths in London last week had been according to the " healthy rate" thus obtained, and which it is use ful to adopt as a standard, they would have been 770 ; and the actual excess, or the number of un natural deaths, is 251. It is to be regretted that scarlatina shows a con stant, though not a rapid increase. During four weeks that have elapsed since the weekly deaths from it rose above 100, the numbers have been consecu tively- 115, 118, 125, and (last week) 134. Of these 134 there occurred 11 under one year of age, 18 at one year, 19 at two years, the same number at three. 21 at four, 37 at five, 5 at ten and under fifteen, 4 at twenty years and upwards. To take a few of the sub-districts where scarlatina appears to be most prevalent, there were 8 deaths from it in Islington West, 7 in Lizehouse; 6 in Bow, and 5 in St. Peter, Walworth. Of 40 deaths registered last week, and placed in the tables to violence, 30 were accidental, 4 were 15 suicide, and no fewer than 6 by murder or man slaughter. Of these last 5 were the deaths of infants. Of nonagenarians in the present returns 3 were men, and of these the oldest had attained the .age of 9t years. Last week the births of 861 boys and 865 girls, in all 1,726 children were registeredin London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1848-57 the average number was 1,571. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.942 in. On the first three days the mean daily reading was above 30 in. The highest reading was 30.36 in., and the lowest 29.47 in. The mean temperature of the week was 57.6 deg., which is 3.6 deg. above the average of the same week in 43 years. The highest point attained by the thermometer in the shade was 71.8 deg. on Wednesday lowest point was 40.1 dcg. on Friday. The entire range of the week was 31.7 deg. The mean daily range was 16.3 deg. The range of temperature on Monday and Tuesday was remar kably small—namely, 9.9 deg. on the former da y , and 6.7 deg. on the latter. On Friday it was 25.3 deg. The difference between meanfr from ofn the the the mean dew-point temperature and a i r tempera ture was 6 . 4 dc g • The mean temperature iegn.d Thel Nv de greewat of water of u ti n le ii T li h ty am w e a s s w 7 a B s . sou th- w est on every day excep t W e d nes d ay.

In such great force did the members of the rooms muster to-day, that it afforded ample proof that the meeting at Harrow was too far south to attract the influentials from this locality. Although the attendance was kept up to a late hour in the afternoon, speculation was comparatively upon a small scale, and indicated very little change upon yesterday's quotations. For the Cosarewitch Stakes, Ma lacca rose to 12 to 1 taken, 14 to 1 were the current offers against either The Roman Candle or Prioress, and 100 to 7 was always obtainable agst Underhand ; Happy Land was much inquired after, and had rather a healthy appearance in the market, closing at 100 to 6 taken ; 1,000 to 25 was taken about the Courier, 2,000 to 30 about Janet, 1,000 to 3 was offered agst Cock-a-doodle-doo, who now appears to be quite gone out of the betting. English Rose seems to be un able to bloom in this market, offers agst her being too numer ous to admit of her receiving support. There seemed no disposition to prevent Turned Loose from having his liberty, not an investment upon him being made in our hearing to day. For the Cambridgeshire Stakes 100 to 8 was offered on the field, and 100 to 3 against Happy Land, 40 to 1 was taken to win nearly £l,OOO about Fearful, and for the Derby neat year 2,000 to 30 was taken about King of Algiers.
