FRANCE. We have received the Psris journals of yesterday. The following are the terms in which the convo cation of the Senate for the 4th of November is an nounced in the Moniteur:— " The striking manifestation wbieh has just taken place throughout all France in favour of the re-estab lisbnaent of the Empire, imposes on the Prince Presi dent of the Republic the duty to convoke the Senate. " The Senate will assemble the 4th November next. "if there results from its deliberations a, change in form of government, the senates consulte which will be adopted shall be submitted to the ratification of the French people. " To give this great act all the authority which it ought to have, the Corp Legislatif will be called to cer tify the regularity of the votes, to examine the details, end to declare the result." The subjoined decree follows the above : " Louis Napoleon, President of the French Republic, considering articles 24 and 31 of the Constitution, de crees--, " Art. 1. The Senate is convoked for the 4th Novcin• bLr next. "Art. 2. The Minister of State is charged with the execution of the present decree. Signed " Louis NAPOLEON. Countersigned " ACHILLE FOULD, .... . Minister of meta. "Given at the Palace of St. Cloud, Oct. 19, 1552." The Journal des Debuts contain. , the follo w ing note, regarding the liberation of Abcr-el fader : " Abd-el-Kader surrended to General Lamoriciere on the 21st of December, 1847. It is known that the Emir stipulated, as the condition of his surrender, that he should be transported with his family to Alexandria, or to St. Jean d'Acre. General Lamoriciere, then com manding the province of Oran. accepted the proposition, which was ratified by the Duo d'Aumale, Governor General of Algeria. The Government of King Louis Philippe received Dec. 31 the news of Abd-el-Keder's surrender, and his arrival at Toulon. The 24th of February, 1848, the Council of Ministers had not made their decision regarding Abd-el-Kader. Tne `24th of April, 1848, the Provisional Government caused Rader to be transferred to the Chateau of Pau, where he remained a year ; from thence he was transferred to the Chateau of Amboise, in which he remained shut up to the present day." The inference which the least observant reader Will draw from this arrangement of dates and facts Is, that the Republi c , an d L ou i s Phili ppe' must be held answerable for Fran ce ' s b reac h o f faith with Abd-el-Kader. Still it will be thought strange that the Government of Louis Philippe should not, after a lapse of nearly two months, have made up its mind on a question of elementary simplicity. The King's government was first interpellated in the Chamber of Peers, on Jan. 17, 1848, during the debate on the address, as to its intention of ratifying the treaty entered into with Abd-el-Kader, the Marquis de Boissy being the speaker. M. Guizot, ia his reply, in place of declaring frankly and clearly that most undoutitmlly the Government would ratify the treaty to which the Duke d'Aumale had given Lis approbation, declared that the Government was 0 , 1 opinion that it did not belong to a General-in- Chief, even were he one of the King's sons, to en gage politically, without reservation or examination, the King's Government, and that "in the present question the Government preserved and intended to Preserve, the full liberty of examination and decision." If these words meant anything, they implied the tossibility of the non , ratification of the treaty. The rrinc e de la Moscow, in the same sitting, disapprov itp, of of the l anguage th us use d b y th e H on . Mi n i s t er °E Foreign Affairs, brought forward this dilemma of tw o thi ngs , one : e i t h er you cons id er Abd !l Xader as a robber, as a pirate, or you look on him !s a hostile general who has been conquered. In the first case, have him hanged : in the second, treatvaivehr, also him according to the law of nations." Gen. which spoke strongly against the doctrine e" M. Guizot had laid down, and in concluding his t4inarks, said :—" There is now neither further rati fication nor negotiation to make—Abd-el.Kader is in Your hand s , he cannot enter into any f urther negotia ti°l.n. Gentlemen, beware of touching that precious t 1 1 , l ug, the h onour of France. Remember King John, raneiB I. and Henry those first gentlemen of theirl, 4 ingdom ! I will on , l ad one word more—if touch the honour of F y ran d ce, adieu to victory !" ev Guizot then declared that " the Government had li a e t t 'Y confidence that it was possible for it to conci zade respect for the engagement made with Abd-el- It - ers with what was due to the safety of France. ito was that task which the Government had proposed f, i L i elf, and when it thought that it had accomplished ti ' e `ue Chamber would decide whether the condu it: °°l ne to was well or ill arrived at." The fill gtiage of M. Guizot produced a most pain au e " .ec t °n the public mind, so that when the deb "ti°4 a , came on in the Chamber of Deputies, in the found on the Address in that House, M. Guizot Lardettaunodebi:inecessary to alter his tone. The matter was d to on February 5, 1848, when the Marquis de aquelein, iu his remarks, observed " that existed Persons were struck with the difference which /Zed between the engagements entered into by the ver e d'Aumale, and the conduct pursued by the Go e_ennient. How does it happen," asked M. de Laro 11!_iaquelein, " that when an engagement of honour IT i t s ak beep entered in by General Lamoriciere and the G o e ( l'Aumale, Governor-General of Algeria, the iebrerarnent now retains Abd-el-Kader in a fort, and Fra nce us i n • rana_ will be as to whether the word of that, will be kept or not ?" Guizot replied a s " his answer would he the same in that Chamber ": 1 the other. He had, in the Chamber of t 4 i f eer s, reserv e d th e r i g ht o f the Government to ra ofY or not to ratify the resolutions of its generals, and b e; th e Duke d'Aumale like the rest ; and that right Dl n g So reser ve d, the Government considered it its ' 3 ; to conciliate th e engageme nt entered into by the lik e d'Aumale with the safety of the State. It was ~( 6 3 . 1 8 that th e D uke had promised A bd, e l • K a d er th a t 4 ", 4 sho u ld be taken to Alexandria or to St. J ean ,e) such w e r e th e t erms o f th e promise—nothing e d 3 r e) nothing l ess ." (M urmu rs on the Left.) St. as a , l d Acre, h e a dd e d, was ou t o f th e q uestion, b t, lexandria belonged to Egypt, the Government s au o ula enter into arrangements with the Egyptian Z i vern ment to allow the Emir to be sent there. The eti"i°a there dropped. Now, who does not see at if the French Government had at first frankly ratified th e treaty entered into, A bd- e l-K a d er wo uld not h ave b een detained for nearly five years in confine nient 'I The wh o l e f au lt, th e world ha); always th ought, o l ay w i th the hesitation o f L ou i s Philipp e ' s d:emu:lent in ratifying the engagement of the Duke 4a.uniat e . There is but one leading article in the Paris jour nals o f yesterday, on the release of the Emir, but that one will be read with interest, for it is in a paper Which can no t b e suspecte d o f a d es i re t o fl atter t h e r ioce President. When a journal like the Siele e .s a p r esses approbation of the conduct of the Chief of the State, it may be said that even party spirit is dis armed by it. The Siècle says : "The A ct o f the President of the Repu bli c, b y w hi c h 1 he grants libertyto the ex-Emir Abel- el-Kader, will ° l 3 well rece i ved by France, which admires everything that_ has th e c h aracter of grandeur, generos i ty, and confi dence. The sentiment which has inspired Louis Napoleon is the same as t h at w hi c h i nsp i red the Duke d ' Aumale and General de Lamoriciere in the treaty of the 21st Dec., 1847 ; but Governments cannot always yield to the same Instincts, the same emotions ; and we can under stand that the Governments of Louis Philippe, of the R e p u bli c , an d o f the President himself long hesitated before ratifying the promise madr, by our young generals. Let us hope that Abd-t-:1 Kider will not be ungrateful, and th a t he will know how to rec nice the magnanimity of t h e French Government g. he will be faithful, as the official j ournal says, to swore, faith, that faith, and that he will not attempt to di s t ur b our domi nation in Africa. Let us hope that the presence of the Arab chief in the states of the Sultan will not excite the Spirit of rebellion amongst the tribes who only o b ey with indignation the law of the conqueror. In the words in Which the President was kind enough itot fdr:usersti,l Abd-el-Kader, we remark this idea, which and so true—that .6 Generosity is always the best e h c ie o t u f coun sellor." or." F o r our part, we shall see with joy the the Government often listen to this politic and noble counsellor of all Governments. It will not allow him to forget t h e F renc h men , w ho, in consequence of our ci fa vi r l discord s , are st ill wan d e ring in foteign coup from their f am ili es an d their dearest affections to M.

SPAIN. Acc , .;unts dated the 14th instant have arrival from Madrid. A royal decree inserted in the Madrid Gazette of that day, enacts that the Under-Secretary and the chiefs of sections of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs shall form, under the Presidency of the Under• Se cretary, a consulting junta on foreign affairs. It is to examine all the questions and all the affairs which the Minister may think fit to submit to it. The Gazette publishes a return, which shows that in 1851 the imports into Spain amounted to 687,648,280 reale, being 15,654,640 more than in 1850 ; the exports were 497,507,432 reals, being 8,940,750 more. The Gazette also states that, in the month of September, 123,727,415 reals of the old debt were converted into new stock. The Minister of War had proposed to give the Grand Cross of the Order of Charles 111. to Gene rals I. , ?riundi, Pivero, and Boignez, but a lutter says that the Queen has objected to it. General Aupick, the French Ambassador, had re turned to Madrid from Bordeaux, where he had been to pay his respects to the Prince President.

The Councillor of Legation De Mayer left Cassel on the 15th for Vienna, to be present at the customs conferences as Plenipotentiary for Electoral Hesse. Baron Lenden presented on the 17th inst. to the King of Prussia his credentiala as Minister Extraor dinary of the King of n urtemburg. The Austrian Government has invited, by a circu lar dispatch, all the German Governments to a new customs conference at Vienna, to be opened, it is said, on the 20th inst. M. de Prokesch is reported to have sent the dispatch to the Court of Berlin. The Weser Gazette contains a letter from Olden burg of the 15th, which says :—" This day the Diet was called on to vote on the revision of the constitn- tion. The preceding Diet had decided that the ques tion of revision should be voted by an absolute majo rity, but one of the deputies, M. Vitel, proposed to day, as an amendment, that the majority should be three quarters of the voters. This amendment was rej acted." The Hamburg Correspondent states that the Go vernment of the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg has received favourably a proposal from a Dutch company to execute a railway from Neuschautz to Seer, Olden burg, and Bremen. The Pesth Gazette contains the sentence of a court martial condemning to death Franz Winzer, 60 years of age, who in 1848 fled from Lemberg, carrying off the funds entrusted to his care, and in 1849 served iu the insurrectionary army of Hungary, but who after wards gave himself up to the hands of justice. The Commander-in- Chief of the armies of Hungary has commuted this sentence to ten years' confinement in a fortress. The Correspondent of Hamburg states that General Lamoriciere has been residing in Frankfort for the last week in strict incognito , and has obtained per mission to remain fifteen days longer, in order to have an interview with the Prince de Joioville and the Duchess d'Orleans. The Correspondent adds that the French Minister demanded that he should be ex pelled, but that tbis was not granted. At a banquet in Berlin, given on the occasion of the anniversary of the birth of a member of his family, the sculptor Afiager was assassinated by his brother in-law. A letter from Munich, of the 12th, says:—"An immense work has just been finished here, being a series of 39 large frescoes, executed by M. Hess, in the arcades of the garden of the palace, and represent ing all the most remarkable events of the long strug gle for Greek freedom, from the time when Rhigas -xcited the Greeks by his songs to the landing of King Otho at the Pireaus. The Government had decided on having these works lithographed, and on , ffering a copy of them coloured to all the foreign Governments. TURKEY. A new change in the Ministry has taken place. Aali Pacha has been put aside, and Mehement Ali Pacha named Grand Vizir in his place. A certain Mabmoud Pacha has, at the same time, been named to the office of Grand Admiral. A complaint was brought against Aali Pacha that business was not transacted in order and with dispatch, and that peti tions on affairs long in suspense were daily presented to the Sultan. Mehemet Ali Pacha comes in with the moral sup port of the old Turkish party. He is a man of en ergy, haughty and proud in his demeanour, and prejudiced against Christians. He has not, so far, been in the civil Administration, and his dealings with the diplomatic corps will be difficult. But you may depend upon it the Vizir is impressed with the ❑ecessity of enforcing the laws with energy. Sir H. Ward and family arrived at Constantinople on the 2d instant, on board the lonian steamer the lonic, and took up their quarters at the British Palace et Therapia. The British fleet has quitted the Turkish seas, for the Tomair Islands. The Turks are mightily pleased with the friendly intercourse that existed between the Turkish and British fleets while at Vourla. It is greatly regretted that Admiral Dundas did not come up, and pay a flying visit to the capital. From the frontiers of Persia intelligence had ar rived that the Turkish and Persian commission which had been formed to settle the limits of the two coun tries had terminated its labours. The principal Persian Commissioner, Mirza Djaffer Khan gave some grand fetes to his Turkish colleagues, and caused military manoeuvres to be executed by the garrison of Mahlon. Some letters from Persia announce that the plague had broken out in that country, near the frontiers of the Turkish territory; , but the Journal de Constantinople says that this news requires confirmation. It adds that, if true, the Government will take all measures to prevent it from spreading in its provinces. The last accounts from Aleppo, in the Portafoglio Maltese, bring the intelligence that Omer Effendi, chief of the Municipal Council of Antioch, one of the most influential members of the body of the Ulemne, has been condemned by the special tribunal of Con stantinople appointed to try him, to imprisonment for life in the tortrees of Belgrade, for the murder of Father Basil, of Novara, sixteen months ago. His wife and children have also been exiled from Antioch. As the punishment of death has been abolished in Turkey, the above is the severest punishment that could be inflicted. ExPoRTATON OF SPECIE.—The amount of specie shipped by the Ripon, which will leave Southampton to-day for Alexandria. proves very large, comprising in all 271,0781. in gold and silver. The destination of this large sum in shown below, viz., to Calcutta, in silver, 188,208/., and is gold, 5.7501.; to Alexandria, gold, 262781.; to Canton, silver, 17,6301.; to Sinopore, silver, 14,760/.; to Aden, silver, 2,312/.; to Ceylon, in sovereigns, 5,3001.; and to Madras, silver, 9 840/. DEATH FRON STAEVATION.—Yesterday Mr. Wakely resumed, at the Harrow, Dollisbrook, ate inquiry touching the death of an aged female, which had been ad journed in order that a post mortem examination might be made, and the deceased's relatives discovered. It appeared that at ten o'clock on Friday morning a man named Wag staff discovered deceased, in a lane ajoining Frith Manor, crouched up against some palings. A man named Robinson said that some time before the discovery of the body a va grant named John Young met him, and said that, as he was going through the lane in question, he saw deceased lying insensible and half-imbedded in the clay, out of which he released her, and stuck her against the palings, where he left her. Although Robinson mentioned this to several other parties, no one unfortunately went to her assistance. ceasd's Sergeant Hughes, 3 S, stated that Young had been sent to husband, of h his unfeeling the House of Correction for a month by the magistrate in consequence toGreen w Greenwich h conductpensio pensioner, allowing deceased die in that deplorable condition.

FUNERAL OF THE DUKE OF WELL COURT CIRCULAR. SPORTING lIV TELLIGENCE., WINDSOR, OCT. 19. NEWBRIDGE GARRISON RACES—MoNDAY. The preparations for the funeral in the interior of St. Paul's Cathedral, are alreviy began. The works tvbieh are just commenced are under the directioa el the Cemmieeioners of Woods and Forests ; but are entrusted to Mr. Wm. Cobitt, the eminent builder. The accommodation for those who are telmitted into the interior of the cathedral will be provided by means of four galleries—one running from the western entrance along the central aisle, two others in the eastern and western aisles, and a third in front of the entrance of the chapel. This last is intended for the exclusive ac commodation of a very large choir. The gallery run ning along the central aisle will be forty feet in height, while those on the eastern and western wings will be upwards of sixty feet ; and the latter will be so arranged as to form an amphitheatre round the space under neath the dome—in the centre of which the remains of the late Duke will be lowered to their resting place. The whole of the galleries will be hung with black cloth, and the number of persons they are intended to contain is upwards of 10,000. Toe whole of the cornices above the galleries, and round all the aisles, will be illuminated by a line of gas jets, not following the architectural lines of the building, but running in a straight row, and immediately under the " whispering gallery' a complete ring of gas jets, two or three deep, will be formed. This has been thought the more necessary, as the weather may not on the day of the funeral be very favourable, and even if it were, the immense surface presented by the black hang ings and fronts of the galleries must materially tend to absorb any light which may find its way' into the edifice. The following had the honour of dining with her Ma -s,sty yesterday:—The Duchess of Kent, the Princess of Hohonlohn-Langenburg, Prince Hertoann of Hohenlohe, the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland, the Marquis of Exeter, tho Lady in Waiting to the Duchess of Kent, and Sir George Couper. Prince Albert, attended by Colonel Hon. Charles Grey, and Lieutenant-Colonel F. H. Seymour, went to town this morning by a special train of the Great West ern Railway, and returned to the Castle at a quarter be fore two o'clock.

The gallery intended for the choir will not be so high as the rest, being only thirty feet, bat it will he con• structed so as to contain a very considerable number ; it will be surmounted by the organ, the position of which is to be changed, in order to present its front to the place of sepulture. In order to carry this out, a portion of the stonework which supports it will be removed; but this, of course, will be replaced when the instrument is returned to its situation, after the obsequies have bee❑ performed. In order to secure the various monuments within the cathedral from injury, they will be covered with boxes of strong planking, and this alone will require, as we are informed, upwards of 50 loads of boards. The statues of Nelson and Lord Cornwallis will, however, be left exposed, being merely encircled with black dra pery, which will tend to bring into full relief the white marble of these exquisite sculptures. In the centre of these galleries will be erected, so as to occupy as little room as possible, the machinery for lowering the coffin, and over the chasm in the pavement will be a gorgeous catafalque. The nature of the deco rations to the canopy has not yet bee❑ ascertained, as no orders have es yet been issued to the firm of Dowbiggin and Son in relation to it. _ _ _ SEIZURE OF BAD MEAT. Mr. Deputy HICKS, in reference to the report made by Mr. DAW, the Chief Clerk, of the large quantity of meat which had been seized by the inspectors within tha last three months, said he considered it to be necessary that the public should understand that most of the meat in question was sent by the consignors from the country in a periectly good condition; but that, in consequence of the heat and peculiarity of the weather, it had on the road become unfit to be used us human food. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Dew—The case was just as had been stated by Mr. Deputy Hick, , . It was well known that the sales men roost promptly and actively co-operated with the inspectors in removing from their premises all meat liable to the objections generally made. Instead of offering tainted. meat for sale, they applied, the moment they found they had any upon the turn, for a certificate from the inspector, by moans of which they became exone rated from all responsibility to the consignor. (Hear, hear.) THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON'S FUNERAL. Mr. DAW requested the attention of the court to the fact that a great number of the inhabitants of the line of road from St. Paul's to Temple-bar would soon com mence preparations for the accommodation of spectators of the funeral procession, and said it would be necessary for the prevention of a groat deal of trouble and incon venience, to send a general notice to the effect that no balcony or other projecting seat should be erected in any building. Mr. GEORGE WALTER said it would be exceedingly useful to cause the issue of such notice to take place as soon a s possible, inasmuch as a great number of the inhabitants of the ward he represented (Farringdon without) appeared to entertain the expectation that they would be allowed upon the occasion a privilege which would have the effect of causing great confusion and embarrassment. (Hear.) It was then ordered that such notices should be forth with printed and extensively circulated amongst the inhabitants in the line of procession within the City. The CLERK informed the Court that he had received a communication from the City Lands Committee, sug gesting the propriety of filling up a portion of Whi te . friars Dock, about the offensiveness of which there had been so many complaints in the City, particularly during the period at which the cholera raged. submitted.

" To the Honourable the Commissioners of Sewers of The width of the central aisle is upwards of 40 feet, and of this space 10 feet on each side will be occupied by the bases of the galleries, leaving a width of 20 feet for the cortege to advance through. The galleries them selves will extend back beyond the square columns, nearly to the bide windows, and this of course would be a great obstruction to the light, and will render it ne cessary, in addition to the rows of jets overhead, to establish rows of burners along the fronts and round the columns. The long pendant lamps at present used in the edifice, will be removed pro tern. The structure of the galleries themselves will be very simple, ell endeavours at embellishment being dispensed with. They will be supported by strong beams, mor ticed to heavy timbers running along the floor, and sup ported by the columns and walls of the cathedral. It is estimated that upwards of 700 waggon loads of timber will be required to complete these works, which will occupy a month in their execution. It is not intended (as we are informed) to admit the public to the whispering gallery, nor to the two small galleries over the terminations of the central aisle, us it would be impossible to see from such an elevation, especially when the rows of gas jets are lighted. A temporary pulpit will be erected near the place of interment ; bat the precise locality has not yet been de termined on. There will be a gallery, separated by bar riers from the rest, for those members of the Upper and Lower Houses who will attend the funeral.

Gentlemen, —I beg leave to lay before your Honour able Court the several tables whic h I have pre pared to illustrate the mortality of the City of London during the past year. They refer to 52 weeks, dating b , e 0 r 64 25 deaths 185 0 2 f. first In thehavel2B, l 8 distributed sl t° Se ttheem 3 tbe period according to their localities and seasons; show ing them as they occurred, male and female, during each quarter of the year in the several districts and sub-dis tricts of the city. For the foot of each column I have from Septemberrs t table calculated the year's deaths rate per thousand of the living in the district or sub-district referred to, and at the head of the columns, for facility of reference, I have introduced an analysis of the population, founded on the Registrar-General's recent census. In the second table all the deaths of the last four years are stated in a form which will enable you to compare ono year with another, and ono sub•district with another, in respect of their several contributions to the total mortality of the period. In the third table 12,540 deaths of the last four years are classified according to the ages at which they befell. In the remaining number (17) the particu lars of ago and residence could not be correctly ascer tained. This table is arranged in a manner to display its results, first for each year separately, and next for each union separately, in order that you mayOb servo what local or annual differences have obtained as to the ages of chief mortality. The fourth table also relates to the last 4 years. It restricts itself to those various forms of acute disease—epidemic, endemic, and infectious, which occasion most of all the predomi nant mortality of particular districts or seasons, and which are susceptible in the highest degree of being mi tigated or removed under an efficient sanitary system. In their general import these documents agree very nearly with last year's record; though showing, unfor tunately, a somewhat higher death rate, and especially a larger proportion of fever. On former occasions I have examined with great minuteness all such facts as these tables set forth, and have offered you the best sugges tions in my power for the mitigation of preventable dis ease. The sanitary condition of the City is now substan tially the same as at the date of my last report, and any comment which I might make on the present tables could be little else than a repetition of arguments already submitted to your notice. Therefore, as other topics of importance to the health of the City press for more im mediate consideration, I refrain from occupying your time by any further remark on the materials which I subjoin.—l have the honour, Gentlemen, to remain your obedient servant, The Castle Stakes of 5 sous. each, and 25 added, for two-year-olds and upwards.

Half a ton of coarse metal (regulus), in lumps weighing about i cwt. and i cwt. each, were subjected to the action of a 4-horse stamp, and the effect was carefully timed. Although the steam used on the occasion was very little, being only equal to the power of about 1/ horse, yet the whole quantity was crushed within eight minutes, two-thirds of the regulus being.reduced to fine powder. The result did not merely give great satisfaction to those who witnessed it, but in point of power and Velocity of reduction the engine excited no small degree of surprise. It was found, in the course of further trials, that the hardest and most refractory ores and minerals were utterly incapable of withstanding the force of the blows.—Mining Journal of Saturday.

COLLISION IN THE BRITISH CHANNEL.—A collision occurred in the British Channel on Monday morning, which resulted in the sinking of a fine screw steam-ship of 800 tons burden (the Metropolitan, Captain M , Lean), on her pas sage from London to Glasgow, in which trade she was en gaged. About three o'clock on the above morning she was running down Channel, the weather being thick and foggy, when she observed a light hoisted by some vessel close to her, beating up Channel with contrary winds. This proved to be a Prussian brig, the Zollvereln, of 260 tons, Captain Bleacker, bound from Bristol to Dantzic; they came in most violent collision, the brig striking the steamer amidships on the starboard side, which she stove in so effectually that in less than a quarter of an ho ur the engine fires were put out, and the vessel reduced to a sinking state.

From the tables, which go into very minute details, we extract the following particulars : No. 1, which contains an analysis of the year's mor tality as to the four quarters of the year, and states the population of the City to be 129,682; it appears that the deaths in four quarterly periods, terminating as follows, were : 1. 1851, Dec. 27, 773 deaths. 2. 1852, Marehi27, 773 deaths. 2, June 25, 774 deaths. 4.

The second table contains an enumeration of deaths during the last four years, as distributed in sub-districts and districts or unions. From the table it appears that the total mortality, of the City has been : In 1848-9, 3,763 deaths ; in 1849.50, 2,752 deaths ; in 1850-1,1 2,978 deaths ; in 1851.2, 3 . 064 deaths. Total of four' years, 12,557 deaths. During the year 1848-9, there were 15 cases of death, in the registration of which the residence was imper fectly recorded. These cases, therefore, though included in the total (3,763) are excluded from the sub-district enumeration. The third table contains deaths of the last four years stated separately and conjointly, classified according to ages, and distributed in unions. To this table is ap pended the following note. During the year 1648-9 there were 15 cases, and during the year 1850-1 two cases, in respect of which the particulars of age or reel donee could mot be ascertained with sufficient accuracy for the purposes of this table. The addition of them to the total amounts in the table would give the correct number of deaths for those years, viz., 3,763 and 2,978 respectively, and 9,493 for the general total. I have likewise been enabled to introduce some corrections in my account of the mortality during the first year. At that time my means for accurate registration of deaths were necessarily imperfect, and my first death list con tained 36 cases (chiefly of certain patiehts in St. Bartho lomew's Hospital) which ought not to have been rec koned to the mortality of the City. In carefully revising my tables of that date I have excluded these cases, and ' have thereby reduced the total number of deaths in the year in question to 3,763. In the report referred to it was estimated at 3,799. The fourth table contains the comparative fatality during the last four years of certain acute diseases, chiefly epidemic infections and endemic. It appears from this table that of typhus fever there died in 1849, immediately before the dreadful visitation of the cholera, 166 individuals ; and that in the present year, which many medical men are of opinion will immediately precede another cholera season, there have been swept away 165, being within one of the number which heralded the approach of the terrific malady. From the same table it appears that to the smallpox, which medical men concur in placing under the head of murder, are attributed 96 deaths within the last year. In 1849, the smell-pox killed 17 ; in 1850, 33 ; in 1851, 41 ; end in 1852, 96. The report, together with its valuable tables, was ordered to be printed, and a copy was ordered to be sent to every member of the court, and of the Court of Common Council. AUSTRALIAN EMlGRATlON.—Ernigration from the United States to Australia does not appear to bave made t o much progress as was anticipated. From the beginning of June to the end of September only fourteen vessels had left with about I,SUO passengers, a large number of whom were from Canada. SUDDEN DEATH or A POLICEMAN.—On Sunday evening last, as a policeman nain.4 George Best, who has been many years in the force, and was attached to the B division, happened to be going over .e.,ccleston-bridge, Bel grave- road, Pimlico, for duty at the College-road station, he suddenly fell down in an apopletic fit, and appeared quite lifeless. lie was shortly taken up and removed to his lodg ings, when Mr. Pear se, of Regent-street, Westminster, was immediately sent for; but that gentleman not happening to be at home at the moment, other medical assistance was speedily procured, and the usual remedies were applied , but the deceased only survived until the following day.

Our anticipation of Monday morning was yesterday duly fulfilled, and the French people hay- been soundly rated for being so unrea sonable as to attempt any interference with their own affairs. The wrath on this occasion had been ex pressed in " King Cambese's vein," with a ludicrous affectation of dignity, which seems to have been in tended to defeat itself. History is ransacked to prove that external splendour has usually accompanied and concealed a corresponding deficiency of internal vigour. We are reminded of the simplicity of Augustus Csar and of the gorgeous habiliments of Masanniello ; and somewhat inopportunely, we are told in the same pa ragraph of the " barbaric splendours of Oriental monarchy," of the " military solemnities of the Roman commonwealth," and of the ceremonious fes tivities of the middle ages. flow these things tend to establish the proposition set forth, or how the pro position itself, were it rendered as clear as that two and two make four, would be applicable to the entry of Louis Napoleon into Paris, or to the restoration of Monarchical Government to France, are matters which are left to the imagination of the ingenious or specu lative reader. It will be seen that what is thus pompously alleged on the authority of history may be granted or denied without advancing one or other side of the argument by a single hair's-breadth. In the meantime, it is admitted by our discon tented contemporary himself that the devotion of the people to the new Emperor is " spontaneous and unre luctant." But then, because it is thus " spontaneous and unreluctant," he, with his usual logical inaccuracy, calls it "servitude," the wish being to promote dis content where the interests of the human race emi nently require peace and good will. The sayings of Ledru Rollin—the purposes of Louis Blanc—the orations of Lamartine—the barricades of February and of June, are all brought up, with a view of irri tating the most irritable nation in the world ; and of inspiring the English multitude with supererogatory contempt for their neighbours. In this malignant and mischievous attempt to stir up a discord which has long slumbered, no baseness is deemed too degrading to be employed in the unhallowed service. The assertion of such direct and simple falsehoods as that " the workmen of the Faubourgs were described, but a few months ago, as untameable barbarians, to be hewn down, in street warfare," though calculated to produce laughter in Paris, where the truth is known, may yet, by dint of daily iteration, obtain some dagree of credit on this side of the Channel, and further, in some degree, the profoundly wicked intent proposed. We doubt not, indeed, that there are people, and those well-intentioned and orderly citi zens, who have actually read themselves into what they feel to be an assured belief of all the fabled massacres of the 4th of December—of the indiscrimi nate firing of the troops upon men, women, and child ren, and of their special partiality for destroying the two latter classes of their defenceless fellow-creatures. The minds of such men, once perverted, it is not easy to bring back to a reasonable view of the question. And this brings us to a new phase of our contem porary's madness, wherein he throws off the heroic, and assumes the more modest, though by no means less dangerous, character of Mrs. Candour. "But," says he, " the new Emperor, as we suppose he will soon be styled, may, unquestionably, inaugurate his reign, if he be so advised, by acts of clemency, con fidence, and justice, which would obliterate from the facile memories of his subjects the traces of those flagrant acts which accompanied his rise. He may proclaim a general amnesty to the victims of those political parties which he professes to have extin guished and united—he may set an example to Eu rope which would be the soundest pledge of peace, by effecting a large and immediate reduction of the army, and he may gradually restore, at least, some shadow of their former freedom to the people he aspires to govern. If we have been foremost to de nounce a series of acts which were disgraced by all the excesses of arbitrary power, and which cannot but excite the gravest apprehensions for the future, we shall not be less ready to acknowledge any change in the policy of the French Government which bears the stamp of magnaminity and sincerity. It is obvious that the maintenance of the existing Government within the bounds of moderation and of peace (if those limits can be observed by a Power so constituted) promises more tranquility to Europe than the occur rence of any fresh revolution leading to incalculable consequences." There is the admission, almost in our own words, of all that we have been contending for. The new Emperor "may" do all the good things which are here mentioned as possible. He "may" proceed to improve the condition of his people by all the ame liorations of peace. He " may do acts of magnani mity which shall render his name immortal. He " may" convert the energy of the soldier into the in dustry of the husbandman, or into the laborious skill of the mechanic. He " may" thus clothe barren places with verdure, and cover the seas with the pro ducts of commerce instead of the thunders of war. He "may" do all this and more, and his Empire (not may, but) must, if confined within the limits of moderation and peace, promise (and perform, too) more for the tranquility of Europe than the occur rence of any "fresh revolution," leading, as such fresh revolution" must, to incalculable conse quences. Well, if he " may" da so much good, and if such must be the character of his Government, as contrasted with any such change as could alone suc ceed it, why are all these difficulties attempted to be thrown daily in his way ?--why so much elaborate toil expended in endeavours—vain ' indeed, as they h a ppily prove to be,but still busily followed up—to poison the minds of the people of this country, and to excite them to hatred and contempt for a neighbour ing Power capable of doing so much for the tranqui lity of the world? True, indeed, this admission is accompanied by words of very fair promise. "We were the first to blame ".—" we shall not, on that account, be the last to praise." These phrases sound very candid, and one would almost think they indicated a certain love of truth after all. But who is to undo all the mis chief which has already been effected ? Our con temporary prates about reducing the army, as a proof of sincerity. First, will he, in his small way, set the example ? At this moment Europe is still sensible of the shock of 1848. We ourselves remember the 10th of April. Besides, there are at all times a thou sand possibilities out of which war may arise, and our contemporary may rest assured that he is no friend to European peace who would now advise either France or England to throw down their defensive armour. Yet again we ask, will our contemporary follow his own advice, and prove his own sincerity, by retracting all that he has written and published against the French Government, in so far as he can find such writing and such publication to be utterly and en tirely without foundation ? When he shall have done this, we shall have some confidence in his good intentions, but not till then. (From the Morning Herald.) The reception given to Louis Napoleon by the city of Paris has proved worthy of the man and the oc casion. Paris put forth all her decorative splendour in her own characteristic way, at once gorgeous and tasteful, while the Prince, even in the midst of enthu siastic exhibitions, pursued the even tenor of his own course, making his advances to the throne slowly and methodically, betraying no impulsive weakness or hurry, rejecting the temptations to make coups de theatre, and in every respect marking his own well balanced mind and quiet resolute will. We believe that the confidence of the more thoughtful and re flecting classes has been less gained by the magic of a name than by the result of an experience which has taught them to rely on the word of the Chief of the State, and on the established firmness of a disposition which is not to be swayed by other dictates than those of will and reason. When the Prince President pro claimed that the Empire should be synonymous with peace, he is believed to have meant what he said. That which the nation wants and desires is developed in dustry at home and peace abroad, peace being its prime necessary condition. As we gather from concurrent accounts of the triumphal entry of Saturday the words " Peace and Industry," in different forms of expression, graced arches of triumph and floating banners and steamers. If the declaration that L'Empirc c'est la paix had not struck deeply into some great immediate necessity, it could not have been taken up With si g nns of approbation so general, and a satisfaction so mani fest. It becomes the policy of the Pri nce, in whpse hand is the government of France, to cultiv ate hemin ciples to which he has given vigou r, by, puttinga forth in the broad day-light of public opiciohn,a t med p with the seal of his own accep tance and big pproba . • hon. . Two significant circumstances connected with the immediate arrival of the Prince President at the rail way station in Paris are particularly deserving o f i l t e h r g d y e. , note—a throne had been prepared, to which, although s urrounded, and as it were suppor the ced by . t Senate, Council o f State. Legislative Body, s‘ potations from various other corporations, so that all ranks and classes of the State were there represented, he yet refu sed to be conducted. This was not from affectation, like that of the first CEesar, who thrice put a way the ki n g l y crown, for immediately afterwards — a nd this i s the second of the circumstances to which in his i, reply to the ad we are allu din g —he said, dress o f the municipal authorities, If France wills the Empire it is because she thinks that this form of government best guarantees tees her grandeur and her f u turity." Neither did theand rumour of the Senate h a ving suddenly met drawn up the necessary Consulte, by way of an s reeable surprise, turn out to have any better foundation g . than the desire, per haps,. to invest a surely coming event with the hap piest inventions of circumstances.. d.. Thus we discover, through unmistakeablein 'cations, that . the throne about to be established must have its foundation struck deep into a gene ral consent so clearly and for- WILTSHIRE CHAMPION COURSING MEET TUESDAY.

The heir of the Emperor is too watchful and observ- ant not to have derived a lesson from the disputed title of his last royal predecessor, on the ground that the nation had not been formally consulted. However-4c4a. loud and showy, and even general, may be the signs of popular acclamation, yet might they be disputed by a future generation as artificial, exaggerated, me chanically contrived, or yet again, the effervescence of momentary delusion, in case pretexts should be wanting for some fresh turn of revolution. On clear record, and not on misty tradition, will the new Em peror rest his title. Hence it is, or at least so loth it seem to be, that be has hitherto rejected the molt specious and tempting occasions to declare his trans-. figuration from simple President to sacred Em peror, although to a people so imaginative, and so fond of emotion, a sudden act of inspiration, under the influence of association with past glory and popul ar en th us i asm , cou ld no t have failed to win their most rapturous concurrence. At Lyons, for instance, beneath the statue of the Em peror—at gun e theyo i u n ng ba L tt i l e e u — te a n t ant of p ar e t r i o l r le — ry at po l in 'o t uon pointed his w first Mar seilles on the first burst of indignation at the dis covery of an infernal machine—or at Bordeaux, vexh, athe royal city, par excellence, the Empire might been announced with sufficient grace. Why expec tation and impatience should have been so long baffled, could only, at length, be explained by re ference to the primacy of the metropolis ; and so the city put forth all its most intelligible hints, and they not confined even to the most splendidly wrought hieroglyphics. At the railway, the ;,prone, with its living ornaments and supporters; at the city entrance, the plain offer of the city magistracy ; at each step, an imperial crown suspended over :his head ; and on each of a series of triumphal arches,. baldequin 1, or draperies, a hail to Napoleon 111. Amidst a.',l this display of external decoration and populaT fire, we know of nothing so striking and remark eble as the movement of that one impassable figure, riding on alone, exhibiting no signs of emotion, but taking tranquilly, as his due, the marks of popular respect, which, it is acknow ledged, he returned with admirable grace and dis tinction of ruanoer. Such line of conduct, so much in contrast with the ordinary habits of the French people, onlz serves to pique by its singu larity. Here is a rul,sr who will have nothing more to do with wayward impulses or passionate oscilla tions from system to system and form to form. Whether as regards his own personal position, or the political interests of the poople, he will proceed to wards clearly-discerned o bjeots by systematic plan, obeying reason and despisim temper. As it is, his own personal character, w ,hich is his own nation's, and indeed the world's, g uarantees for the per formance of undertakings in whose success peace becomes the essential element o 1 hope and promise, it is most satisfactory that, judgeo l by all tests imme diately within reach, it is as firm and reliable as his mind is elevated and clear-sighted. The speeches of Louis Napoleon are by this time ackilowledged, even by his opponents, to possess singular eptitude to cir cumstances. The same may be said of his de meanour and bearing, so calm and coll,ected. Sure we are that Louis Napoleon will undoretand the true interests of his country to be in accorOance with the pacifically enterprising spirit and active temper of the times in which we live, and that he will oat only in accordance with his own sense of sound policy. THE LIBERATION OF ABD-EL-KADEIL The following is from the Moniteur:— " The Prince has marked the end of his tour by' great act of justice and national generosity—he has re stored Abd-el-Bader to liberty. This act has long been decided in his mind; be wished to carry it into offset as soon as circumstances should permit him to follow, with• out any danger to the country, the suggestions of his heart. At present, France has too legitimate a confi dence in his strength and his rights not to show herself great towards a vanquished enemy. In returning to Paris the Prince stopped at the Chateau d'Amboise, and, having seen Abd-el•Kader, informed him of the end of his captivity in the following terms:— " Abd-el-Kader,—l come to inform you of your liberation. You aro to be taken to Broussa, in the States of the Sultan, as soon as the necessary preparations shall have been made, and you will receive there from the French Government an allowance worthy of your former rank. You are aware that for a length of time your captivity has caused me real affliction, for it incessantly reminded mo that the Government which preceded me had not observed the engage ments entered into towards an unfortunate enemy ; and nothing in my eyes is more humiliating for the Government of a great nation than to misunderstand its force to such a point as to fail in its promise. Generosity is always the best counsellor, and I am con vinced that your residence in Turkey will not prove in jurious to the tranquillity of our possessions in Africa. Your religion, like curs, enjoins submission to the de crees of Providence. But if France is mistress of Algeria, the reason is that God willed it to be so, and the French nation will never give up that conquest. You have been the enemy of France, but I am not the less willing to render justice to your courage, to your cha rcter, and to your resignation in misfortune. That is the reason why I consider it a point of honour to pat an end to your captivity, having full confident) •in your w( rd.' ‘• These noble words deeply moved the ex-Basir. After having expressed to his Highness his respectful and eter nal gratitude, he swore on the Koran that he would never attempt to disturb our rule in Africa. and that he would submit, without any ulterior design, to the will of France. Abd•el-Kadcr, added that it would bo quite to mistake the spirit and the letter of the law of the Prophet to imagine that it allowed any violation of engagements towards Christians, and he pointed oat to the Prince a verse iu the Koran, which formally condemns, without any exception or reservation, whoever violates sworn faith, even with unbelievers. In the opinion of all in telligent Arabs, the conquest of Africa is a fait accompli, they see in the constant superiority of our arms a marked manifestation of the will of God. A loyal and generous policy is the only one that befits a great nation, and France will be thankful to the Prince for having fol lowed it. Abel-el Fader will remain at the Chateau d'Amboise until all the necessary measures have been ' taken connected with his removal, and his residence at Broussa." HEALTH of LONDON during the WEEK. (From the Registrar General's Rep ort ) The deaths in London, which in the prev ious week were 984, rose in the week ending last Saturday to 1,093. In the corresponding weeks of the ten year' , 1842-1851 the average number was 926, which for comparison with last week's return may be raised in proportion to increase of population when it bccomes 1,019. The present mortality, therefore, exceeds the corrected average by 74. Last week the deaths of 536 children, 355 men and women, between 15 and 60 years of age, and 188 . persons at 60 years and upwards, were registered.
