XONEY AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGELICE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The idea has been very general to-day, that, if the authorities of the Bank of England desire to participate to a greater degree in the current dis count business than at present, they will have to "ocede further facilities to the commercial public. Ile quotations to-day, in the open market have been 5 * I per ce n t, f or t h e b est short-dated bills, a tendency to still lower prices, or about per cent. less than the official minimum. The supply of m oney at the command of bankers and brokers continues very abundant, but the inquiry for ac commodation has been very small. There were no bullion operations at the Bank on Saturday. The Australasian has arrived from New York 'with £111,139. The accounts from the various manufacturing dist r icts during the past week have, upon the whole been of a more satisfactory chara c t er . Th e woo ll en trade of Leeds, B ra df or d , an d H uddersf i eld, has been more animated, and a good business has been (lon e in spring fabrics. At Manchester moderate transactions have taken place in both cloths and TYams, chiefly for exportation, at fully late rates. he hosiery and lace trade of Leicester and Notting ham have shown symptoms of improvement, while at Birmin g h am, Sheffield, and Wolverhampto n there has been more activity in almost all depart- Merits. The directors of the Alliance Bank, in their re- Port for the p ast h alf-year, state that the gross pro 'lt th s, includin g £6 ,580 14s 9d brought forward from e previous six months, amount to £185,896 17s Bd, W hich, after deducting current expenses, interest on current and deposit accounts, and rebate on bills dis counted, leaves a net balance of £66,731 19s 9d. The numerous and extensive failures of mercantile houses 'l , (ln ring the l as t t h ree months of the past year ave pressed with special severity on the cora- PanY, and the losses to be provided for on accounts t e w in liquidation will absorb the profits of th e - ualf-yea r and a further sum of £61,737 11s. 5d., W hich has been carried from the reserve fund to the Profit and loss account. •In addition to these losses, there are transactions not yet matured in connection 'with a heavy account, which may possibly entail a l arge additional loss. The bank, however, holds securities which it is hoped may be realised favour ably ; but whatever loss may arise will be dealt with separately, and written off the reserve fund. The report of the East London Bank, to be pre sented on the 26th inst., states the available balance to be £3,841, and recommends a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, which will absorb £2,500, and leave £1,341 to be carried forward. The paid-up capital is £lOO,OOO, and the liabilities on deposits, &c., are £346,196. The directors of the Anglo-Italian Bank have determined to recommend a dividend of 6s. per share, which is equal to rather more than 6 per cent. on the paid-up capital. A meeting of the shareholders of the Unity Joint-stock Bank has been called for the 30th inst., "to consider the conduct of the directors in repu diating the acts and powers of the liquidators." The report of the Consolidated Bank, to be pre sented on the 24th inst., shows the available total, in cluding f a pr ev i ous b a l ance of £ 6,976, to be ,i 3,486, and recommends a dividend at the rate f l O per cent. per annum for the half-year, and a ell " of 3s. per share, being an additional per x e i n „ t i This will absorb £52,500. The sum of th " , 1 58 is to be appropriated to reserve, which will w ,„. en amount to £58,621, and a balance of £1,827 a w . remain to be carried forward. The paid-up Pita l £6OO 000 and the deposits held are 43,411 ,206.

THE ITALIAN CAPTIVES IN BoKuARA.—The four Italian gentlemen so long kept in captivity by the Khan of Bokhara have been at length released, and have arrived in safety in their native country. The thanks of the King of Italy have been conveyed to the Viceroy for the cordial co-operation of the British Government in en deavouring to effect the release of the four unfortunate captives ; and it• is certain that their escape from a state of extreme peril has been a very narrow one. They have been in captivity in the horrible dungeons of Bokhara for more than a year, exposed to every kind of indignity and privation, and in daily fear of being put to a sudden and painful death.—Honieward Mail. THE FOUNDER OF RUGBY SCHOOL.—Lawrence Sheriff, grocer, of the City of London, and member of the Worshipful Company of Grocers, founded the cele brated Rugby School, and at his death, in 1567, left his parsonage at Brownsover, his mansion at Rugby, and a portion of his estate in Middlesex for the endowment of the school. The land, which then consisted of a green field, is now covered by part of Lamb's Conduit-street. At the time of the bequest it was worth about £lO per year. The present annual revenue from all the property, of which this forms the most valuable portion, is about £s,ooo.—The Grocer of to-day. EMIGRATION.—The Governor of the State of New York, in his inaugural Message, delivered on the 2d inst., stated that 182,766 alien immigrants arrived at the port of New York in the course of the year 1864—an in crease of more than 25,000 over the number in 1863, and as large a number as in any year since 1854. With the per capita tax of $2 per alien the Emigration Commis sioners are erecting new hospital buildings, which are to be ready for occupation in the spring.

The astounded porter soon perceived the fair sleeper's position and conducted her over to the Midland station, where she took her ticket and departed by th e 7.30 a.m. train for Skipton.—Kendal,3feroury.

On the 10th inst. reynard brought into the orchard occupied by Mr. Thomas Airey, builder, &c., and left there, a fine chicken ; on the 11th, a water hen ; on the 17th, a fine fat wild duck, weighing 514 b., which was not quite dead when found, and which served for a good dinner on the Sunday for Mr. Airey and family. It is thought reynard must have been disturbed on every occasion before he had time to devour his prey. — We4tmwelance Gazette. MARK-LANE. The country markets held on Saturday were steady as regards the wheat trade, and the small snpplies which were for the most part exhibited for sale changed hands at full quotations. Good and fine barley was in request at extreme rates. Oats moved off steadily at full currencies ; otherwise, the trade was decidedly quiet. The demand for wheat and flour for export at Conti nental and American ports is still much restricted. In the value of produce, however, very little change has taken place since we last wrote. With the exception of flour and malt, the arrivals of English produce up to our market last week were small. The imports from abroad amounted to 1,957 quarters of wheat, 4,346 barley, 11,439 oats, 2,125 rye, 4 beans, 1,044 tare; 5,088 linseed, 388 sundry seeds, and 140 sacks of flour. The amounts of home-grown wheat fresh up to our market to-day were very moderate. Owing to the fog which prevailed in the Metropolis during a portion of bu siness hours business was to some extent interfered with. However there was a tolerably firm feeling in the trade, and the business transacted was at prices quite equal to those current on Monday last. In the quotations, conse quently, there is no alteration to notice. The condition of the supply was tolerably good. The supply of foreign wheat on the stands was but moderate. Good and prime old qualities were in fair aver age request, at full rates ; otherwise the foreign wheat trade ruled quiet on former terms. Floating cargoes of grain changed hands to a moderate extent, and prices ruled firm. The supply of English barley on sale was very moderate and malting qualities—owing to the limited number o samples on the stands—sold readily, at fully late rates. Inferior qualities—the supply of foreign produce on sale being somewhat extensive—were a dull inquiry, and business was transacted as low as 20s per quarter. In malt about an average business was transacted, at late prices. - With oats the market was but moderately supplied. Selected qualities moved off steadily, at full currencies ; but for heated produce the trade continued dull. Inferior and heated Scotch descriptions sold as low as 12s per quarter. Beans were in fair supply, and the demand for them ruled inactive, at the late decline in prices. The supply of peas on sale was small. The trade, how ever, was quiet, yet prices ruled stationary. Very litile barrel flour was exhibited for sale. Generally speaking, the flour trade was steady, and the quotations were without change from Monday last. CURRENCY PER IMP.

The supply of foreign stock in our markets to-day was very moderate, and sales progressed steadily at very full prices, to, in some instances, a slight advance. The arrivals of beasts from our own grazing districts were moderately good, and in fair average condition. Generally speaking, however, the quality of the stock was not equal to Monday last. The supply from Scotland was less extensive ; from Ireland, limited. Good and prime breeds moved off freely, on rather higher terms. Other wise the beef trade ruled steady, at full prices. A few very superior Scots and crosses realised 58. 6d. ; but the general top figure was ss. 4d. per Blbs. From Norfolk, Sussex, Essex, and Cambridge we received 2,200 Scots and crosses, from other parts of England 700 various breeds, from Scotland 300 Scots and crosses, and from Ireland 150 oxen and heifers. We were very scantily supplied with sheep, but the quality of each breed was tolerably prime. The mutton trade was by no means active ; nevertheless Downs and half-breds realised rather more money, the extreme quota tion being 6s 2d per 81b. Clipped breeds sold at 4s 10d to 5s per 81bs. Long-woolled sheep were firm in price. Calves, the supply of which was limited, moved off steadily at full quotations. . .

The thick fog which enveloped the metropolis and its suburbs during the whole of Saturday—to the great hindrance of business, and the inconvenience of all those whose occupations called them out of doors—towards the evening grew more intense, un til at 6 o'clock all carriage locomotion became, if not impossible, extremely dangerous, and that of pedes trians extremely difficult. With very few excep tions, the omnibuses ceased running, and the cabs were taken home by the drivers, and to the almost entire cessation of carriage traffic may be attributed the absence of any fatal accident ; for, although several casualties occurred, none have been reported of a serious description. Here and there a solitary cab might be dimly seen crawling stealthily along, the driver holding a lighted link in his hand. On the closing of the theatres the scarcity of cab accommodation caused a considerable amount of inconvenience, and the very few in attendance were at a high premium, the drivers making their own terms with those who were fortunate to become hirers of the vehicles. In the poorer dis tricts of the metropolis, where the necessities of the inhabitants compelled them to make their usual Saturday marketings, several very ludicrous scenes occurred ; awkward collisions took place, and a large number of petty robberies were committed both from the person and from the provision shops. Soon after eleven o'clock the fog began gradually to clear away, and the early morning set in with a hard frost. The thermometer at Hyde-park Receiving house stood on Saturday morning at 25 deg., at noon 30 deg., and at midnight 21 deg., or 9 deg. below freezing-point. Yesterday morning set in clear and frosty, and the weather during the day continued fine and con genial for the season. In the afternoon the various parks were crowded with people evidently attracted there by the impression that the waters would be frozen sufficiently strong to allow of the usual sports on the ice. This, however, was not the case. On the ornamental water in the Regent's park the ice was about half an inch in thickness, and a few persons ventured upon it for a short time; but two or three immersions taking place, it soon became cleared—this practical warning appearing to be more efficacious than the printed notices posted about, that " the ice was in a dangerous state," or the advice of the icemen. In Kensington-gardens, also, a few persons ventured upon the ice, but an immersion or two soon drove them off. The Ser pentine was entirely frozen over, the ice being about half an inch thick, but no one was seen upon it during the day, the icemen, park keepers, and the police on duty strictly prevent ing any one who attempted to do so. The water in the St. James's-park enclosure was also entirely frozen over, but the icemen had taken the precaution to break the ice along the edge of the bank, thus preventing any access to it from the shore. At the western end of the water, however, opposite Buckingham Palace, about 50 lads and boys managed to land themselves on the ice, being tempted thereto by the people bowling oranges and half pence on it. In the scramble for these several im mersions took place, but, as the water at this part is very shallow, nothing serious occurred beyond the ducking. This and the floundering about in the water, in the struggle to regain the shore, appeared to afford infinite amusement to those who had thoughtlessly tempted the youngsters to place themselves in so uncomfortable a position. The ice on the water in the Vic toria-park was much stronger than on that in the other parks, and a large number of persons were there enabled to enjoy their favourite pastimes of skating and sliding. This was also the case upon the ponds scattered about in the suburbs of the me tropolis. In anticipation of the fog of Saturday night con tinuing during yesterday, the managers of the river steamboats had issued notices late in the evening that the boats would not run on Sunday, and the various crews had a holiday given to them. The day turning out so different to what was expected, great disappointment and inconvenience was ex perienced by that large portion of the public who patronise the " silent highway." The thermometer yesterday at the Receiving house in Hyde-park stood in the morning at 24, at noon 30, and at six o'clock last evening at 27, with indications of falling still lower. This morning, although the ornamental water in the public parks was not fiozen an inch thick, a great many boys, and not a few men, were fool hardy enough to venture on the ice for the purpose of either skating or sliding. In the Enclosure, St. James's-park, the attendance was, perhaps, the largest, and, although the icemen of the Royal Humane Society did their utmost to pre vent persons going on the ice, at about two o'clock there could not have been less than 300 persons thereon. At one time in the afternoon every bed in the tent erected by the Royal Humane Society was occupied, and in some instances with rather serious cases, arising from contusions and concussions re ceived in addition to the dangers of immersion. Owing to the exertions of the attendants no fatal case occurred during the early part of the day, although in one or two instances serious doubts were at one time entertained. The thermometer, at two p.m. this day, stood at 38 deg., being 6 above freezing point. THE FOG. The metropolis, the east end more especially, was again this morning enveloped in a thick fog. About two p.m. the appearance of the Strand was very peculiar. Towards Temple-bar a dense black fog— a regular "London particular "—entirely obstructed everything from view, whilst towards Charing-cross the atmosphere was more than ordinarily clear, and the sun shining most brilliantly. The dense vapour could be clearly seen steadily advancing westwards, and at about half-past two the use of gas became general for business pur poses. Towards three o'clock the fog to some extent cleared off, but at the time of going to press the atmosphere was anything but clear. Sir Artimr Buller addressed a meeting of his con stituents at i)evonport, on Friday evening. The main topic of discourNe was the foreign policy of the Govern ment, which he walously defended. He regretted the mis management of the Church-rate question, but did not despair of the ultimate triumph of the abolitionists. Ile ob jected to the proposal for con stitutin g the bishops final court of ecclesiastical app eal ; and concerningreform, contended that it was the people and not the Liberal party in Parliament by whom apathy had been sh - own. Mr. Brassey, the forthcoming Libera l candidate, gave ex pression to his views on the leading domestic qu men were estions of the day. Votes of confAMice in both gentle passe , POLICE INTELLIGENCE, — This Day. BOW-STREET. PICKING POCKETS AT DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—A rough looking fellow, named William Harris, was placed at the bar charged with being concerned, with a woman not in custody, with stealing a purse from a person unknown, at the entrance of the Drury-lane Theatre. Sergeant Ackrill, of the F division of police, stated that about a quarter before seven on Saturday night he was on duty at the entrance of Drury-lane Theatre, and saw the prisoner and a woman in conversation there. Having seen them on the preceding evening he watched them, and he then saw them push against a gentleman who was entering the theatre. The woman put her hand into the gentle man's waistcoat pocket, and took from it a purse, which she handed to the prisoner. She then entered the theatre, and the prisoner turned to go away when he (witness) stopped him, and sent another officer after the woman. The woman, however, eluded capture, and then, with the assistance of another constable, he conveyed the prisoner to the station house, but whilst in the road the prisoner attempted to re move the money, about 10s, from the purse. The prisoner was remanded. William Hill, a powerful-looking labourer, was placed at the bar charged with picking pockets. Col. W. 31. S. M'Murdo said he was walking in the en closure of St. James-park this morning, when he like others had his attention attracted to the accidents which were frequently occurring on the ice. He felt a tug at his pocket, and then found his handkerchief had been stolen. He turned round, and suspecting the prisoner he watched him until he got clear of the crowd, when he seized him and accused him of the robbery. A violent struggle en sued for over 30 yards, and, although there were a great number of persons collected around him and the prisoner, not ono, he regretted to say, would give him the slightest assistance. He, however, overpowered the prisoner, and then he took him to one of the park-keepers, into whose custody he gave him. On being searched three other handkerchiefs were found. The prisoner pleaded guilty. Mr. Flower said it was much to be regretted that re spectable people seeing a gentleman struggling with a thief should be not ready to render assistance. The prisoner had met with rather a stronger gentleman than he expected. It was a very bad case, especially as three other handker chiefs had been found upon him, and he doubted much whether he ought not to send him for trial. However, he would give him another chance, but for the offence to which he had pleaded guilty he should send him to prison for six months with hard labour. 3iARLBOROUGH-STREET. FURIOUS DRIVING DURING THE FOG.—Thomas Wallis Atkinson, a cab driver, badge 13,033, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with furious driving. Police-constable Charles Bluett, 170 0, said that on Sa urday night, about half-past 11 o'clock, during a dense fog, he saw the defendant driving his horse, attached to a Hansom cab, at a gallop through Berkeley-square. The defendant was stopped by a gentleman, and on going up to him he (Bluett) found that the defendant was very drunk. The defendant said that he had a fare, and had been en gaged for three hours in leading his horse through the fog. The fare thanked him for his care, and then gave him a thumping glass of whisky, and told him it would do him good, but instead of that it completely got him over. Mr. Tyrwhitt said if ever there was a day when a man ought to be careful in driving it was Saturday last. He should fine the defendant 7s. 6d., or 14 days. The defendant paid the fine. A CANDID DEFENCE.--JaMeS White, a strong healthy looking young man, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with destroying his own clothing, and also some furnished him by the authorities of St. George's Workhouse. Robert Plowright, the porter of St. George's Workhouse, said that on Saturday night last the prisoner was admitted into the casual ward of the workhouse, and yesterday morning it was found that he had destroyed his clothes. Some others were furnished him, and these he also destroyed, The prisoner said he tore up his clothes, a man telling him that he had only to go to St. George's Workhouse to get a tidy suit. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for 21 days. WESTMINSTER. CAUTION TO TAVERN-KEEPERS. - Moore Blakeley, a young man, was charged with wilfully breaking two panes of plate glass, value 50s. Mr. Charles Woodward, proprietor of the Fulham-bridge Tavern, Knightsbridge, said that at a quarter to 10 on Sa turday night the defendant came to his house, and shortly afterwards entered the coffee-room, where a number of gentlemen were seated. The coffee-room was not a proper place for persons of defendant's grade of life, and he had no business to be there. He was very insulting to gentle men in the coffeeroom, and complainant considered it his duty to remove him. When he did so defendant wilfully broke two large panes of glass. Mr. Selfe--Was he drunk ? Complainant—Ho was not sober. Mr. Self e—Had he any drink in your house ? Complainant—l believe he had. I asked him to go out several times before I touched him. Mr. Selfe—Was the window broken intentionally ? Complainant—He had to strike the glass hard three times with his fist before he broke it. Defendant—l am very sorry. I don't remember any thing about it. I have offered to pay it by instalments. Mr. Selfe—Will you take it ? Complainant—l would rather that you would settle it. Mr. Selfe—He got drunk in your house. He came to my house drunk. Some one gave him a glass of drink there. Mr. Selfe—lt was that glass that did it. It's the last straw that breaks the camel's back. I shall not give the full value of your glass, because the man had liquor. I shall fine him 55., with £1 for the glass, or in default seven days. THAMES. I WANT TO GET 3wIAERTED.—A very comfortable-looking woman, of the fat-fair-and-forty class, entered the witness box and said, " I want to get married." Mr. Paget—Well, I cannot marry you, my good woman. The applicant said that her husband left her 14 years ago, and that she had not seen him or heard of him for eight years. She wished to get married again, and wanted to know if she could do so legally. . . . Mr. Paget would explain what the law was on that point. If a woman had not seen her husband or heard of him for seven years, and might reasonably conclude he was not in existence, she would not be liable to a prosecution for bigamy if she got married again ; but if her first husband made his appearance, or proved to be alive when the second marriage was contracted, the children by the second hus band would be illegitimate. The applicant, without saying another word, left the witness-box and hastily departed from the court. DRUNK, NOISY, AND Miscursvous.—Ann Brian, a woman about forty years of age, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with being drunk, disorderly, and committing a violent assault on Mr. William King, the landlord of the Angel public-house, in Broad-street, Ratcliff. There was another charge against her for throwing a quart pot through a pane of glass in the window of the public-house. The pot fell in the bar, upset a candle, and broke a decan ter filled with wine. The affair occurred on Saturday night. After hearing the evidence, Mr. Paget said the publican's own account of the trans action was that he allowed to be drunk beer and spirits in his house from 7 to 11 o'clock on Saturday night ; that he drank rum and water with her husband and allowed her to become intoxicated in his house. The publican brought all the mischief on himself, and his conduct was very much to be reprehended. He was very much surprised that a man of the publican's apparent respectability should encourage a woman to get drunk in his house, and to drink with her husband, a labourer. The publican had been in jured, and he admitted he pushed the woman down. Both were in fault, and he should discharge the prisoner. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—This day.

The convict had an interview, in the course of last week, with his wife and sister-in law. The wife, a respectable young woman, was deeply affected, indeed she fainted twice during the painful meeting.: The conversation which passed related chiefly to family matters. The convict expressed himself highly pleased at seeing his wife, and offered up an earnest prayer for her future well-being. The sentence of the law will be carried out on Thursday. THE NAPOLEONS IN THE IRISH COURTS.—The Lord Chancellor pronounced a decree yesterday on the petition of Mr. Napoleon A. Bonaparte Wyse, eldest son of the late Sir Thomas Wyse, praying for a specific performance of certain marriage articles on the occasion of the marriage of the deceased, at Paris, with Madame Letitia Bonaparte. The object of the petitioner was to esta blish his right to the estates of his father in the Queen's county and the county of Waterford. There is another suit pending as to the amount of jointure to which Madame Wyse is entitled, but that is not affected by the decree. THE RECENT GALE.—The Royal National Life boat Institution, having had its attention drawn to the want of a liteboat station somewhere on the embayed line of coast between Selsea, Bill and Portsmouth harbour by the account of the wreck of the schooner Ocean on the dangerous shoals off Hayling Island, which appeared in The Sun of the 16th inst., has already taken the prelimi nary steps for the establishment of a lifeboat station on the island, and has commenced for that purpose, through the secretary of the institution, Mr. Richard Lewes, a correspondence with the Rev. Charles Hardy, vicar of Hayling. Mr. Hardy has been resident 30 years on the island, and his long experience will therefore necessarily render him a valuable coadjutor in the good work taken in hand by the National Lifeboat Institution. Previous to the communication from the institution having been received, Mr. Hardy had appealed through the local press for aid to assist in the establishment of a lifeboat on the island, and the offer of aid from the National Lifeboat Institution came, therefore, very opportunely for the perfection and completion of a scheme for the saving of human life which has been a well-known matter of necessity since lifeboat stations were first established on our coasts. The close vicinity of the harbour and dockyard of Portsmouth has, perhaps, by the false feeling of " help always at hand " which their near neighbourhood has somewhat naturally inspired, prevented the placing of a lifeboat at any previous time on this part of the coast ; but the recent wreck of the Ocean, and the proved inability of the dock yard authorities to render any aid, even with the smallest of their tug steamers, have at length brought action as well as conviction, and a certain means of help will now always be at the service of shipwrecked seamen, and provided from a legitimate and never-failing source. There appears to be an excellent site for the boathouse on the beach, which there will not be much difficulty in obtaining for the pur pose ; there are a sufficient number of fishermen within hail always to man the boat ; and last, but not the least important fact, a very unanimous and excellent spirit is prevailing among the resident inhabitants on the subject. DESERTIONS.—A correspondent of the New York Times writes in an article at the close of the year as follows :—" We hear of the President calling for a force of several hundred thousand men. The papers tell us gleefully of the rapidity with which enrolments are taking place. Presently we hear every town and village boasting that it has filled up its quota ; but where are the soldiers ? As an illustration of how some disappear, here is therecord of one single regiment among those that have come to my notice. Of three detachments of substitutes sent from Concord, New Hampshire, to join the sth New Hampshire Volunteers, amounting to 625 men, 137 deserted on the passage, leaving only 488 to arrive at the regiment. Of the 488 who gottothe regiment and were consigned to companies, 82 deserted to the enemy from picket line, 36 deserted to the rear, fourhave been discharged as utterly worthless, their physical incapa city being so glaring and of such long standing that it must have been known at the time of enlistment; five have been sent back to Concord to have their cases of enlist ment investigated by order of the War Department ; and two have been discharged by order of the War Depart ment. Thus, out of 625 of these bounty-tempted warriors sent to one regiment only since August last, there are only 359 left, and, as these have come to the army through the same venal influences, and probably gone through the u sam b 0 loose or fraudulent examination, it is impose= many more may follow suit, in spite of the death Penalty f r out of leto t ow be fore them.

The proportion of illegitimate births was lowest in Greenock, where it was 413 per cent., while in Aberdeen 18.3 per cent. of the births were illegitimate. Eight hundred and eighty four marriages were registered in the eight towns during the month, being b y. far the highest num b er reg i stered in December during Al° nine previous years. The deaths of 2,411 persons were registered. Allowing for increase of population, the deaths would be the exact average of the corresponding period during the nine preceding years. Forty-four per cent. of. the deaths were of children under five years of age. In Aber-' deen the proportion was 10 per cent. below this average and in Dundee the average was exceeded by seven per cent The zymotic class of diseases proved fatal to 756 person; (34 31 per cent. of the deaths. Typhus fever was the most fatal epidemic; it caused 244 death; or 10.1 per cent. of the, whole deaths. In Glasgow the proportion of deaths fret!! typhus was 11.7 per cent.; in Paisley, 12.5; and in Greenock, 20.1 per cent. This is the most severe epidemic of typhull fever experienced in Scotland for many years.
