HEALTII OF LONDON during the WEEK. ' (From the Regietrar-Generals Return.) 1 The return for the week ending last Saturday show thet the total deaths registered in the metro polis were 1,0.53. The average of the season, cor rected for increase of population, is 1,162, and, therefore, exceeds the deaths of last week by 109. The mortality which for some time after the abate ment of the epidemic continued to fall till it reached a point unusually low, again steadily increases, as appears from the numbers successively returned in the last four weeks, which were 878, 892, 931, and 1,053. The cause of the increase may be discovered in the fact, that whereas deaths from epidemic dis eases is these four weeks were respectively 204, 178, 173, and 203, those caused by diseases of the respi ratory organs (chiefly bronchitis and pneumonia) were 134, 170, 194, and 203, showing a gradual rise towards the average, which is 214. The deaths from phthisis (which are not included in the above) have been in the last four weeks 128, 104, 134, and 133 ; the weekly average is 128. Hoopingecough was fatal, in the same periods, to 22, 12, 23, and 18 children; the average is 34. There were 9 deaths from influenza last week, showing an increase on recent returns; the average of previous seasons is 21, but is chiefly derived from the mortality in 1847, when influenza was epidemic, and multiplied the deeths both from this and other affections of the res piratory organs. The deaths in last week from typhus were 51, a considerable increase on previous weeks ; but other epidemics are still much below the average. It is gratifying to state that no person in London was registered as having died in the last week from cholera; this is the first week in which the bills of mortality have been suite free from this disease since June, 1843, a period of nearly eighteen months. The deaths from diarrhoea were 17, less by 6 than the average. A man of 47 years died of " marasmus, after spirit drinking." The death of a man of 63 in St. Andrew Eastern (Holborn) was caused by desti tution. In Norwood a man died of glanders caught from a diseased horse. Accompanying the present return is a diagram, which exhibits the mortality from cholera in the London districts, with the average elevation of the inhabited portions of each ; and shows also by which of the nine water companies each district is supplied, and the source from which its water is obtained. The mean daily reading of the barometer on Thurs day was 29 635 in., the highest in the week ; the mean of the week was 9 419. The mean daily tempera ture, which fell to 33 deg. on Tuesday, rose to 46 deg. on "Thursday. The mean of the week was 42 deg. 2 min., slightly above the average of the same week in seven years. Oil :'uesday the mean temperature was 8 deg. below the average, and on Thursday 6 deg. above it. MORTALITY in the METROPOLIS. NUMBE 7.

FALMOUTH, DEC. 9.—On Friday morning, the weather being very dirty and thick, and a gale at SSE., a schooner was observed in the bay off the Swanpool, apparently entangled with the coast. By half-past eight she was reported to be fast driving on the rocks at the back of Gyllyngdune, be tween Pendennis Castle and Swanpool, and imme diately under the cliff, above which are the gardens and mansion of the Rev. W. J. Coope, the rector of this parish. She proved to be the Mary, of Dart mouth, of 123 tons, Thomas Jarvis, master, from Acra, on the coast of Africa, 105 days, for this port for orders. She had scarcely beyond half a cargo, which consisted of palm oil, the property of Messrs. Hutton and Sons, of London. Her crew were six in number, of whom two were Africans, one of them aged about 60 years. They had been for 14 days on an allow ance of two spoonsful of flour daily. The vessel was in a distressed state, having lost her canvas. On Thursday night the Lizard Lights were made, but the next morning the appearance of the land, from the sttte of the weather, could not be recognized- About 'eight A.M. a pilot cutter offered assistance,. when the master requested to be informed what amount would be expected. Ome of the people of the cutter said 1501., but afterwards the parties appear to have rereed to leave the amount of remuneration to the adjudication of the underwriters, or the sub-com missioners of pilotage. The pilots wn directed that: a hawser should be passe] aft, that the cutter might . render assistance by towing, to get her out of her perilous condition, she being every moment more and. more ernbayed ; this was not attended to, but whe ther from the exhausted state of the crew, or from the vessel's sails blowing away, or any other cause, does not appear. Tnere is no doubt that much time was lost during this interval, so much so, that ultimately the pilots told the master to let go his anchors, for as-istance was then too late, she must go on shore. The starboard anchor was then let go, but too near th, shore to prevent the vessel being driven up to within 100 yards of the cliff over the rocks, whereon she heat heavily. It was now nine o'clock, and some hundreds of persons had assembled at Gyllyndune, and on the cliff, the waves dashing over the vessel at each return, and the crew making earnest gestures for assistance, clinging to the side of the vessel. At length, by means of a hawser passed to the shore, the mate ventured, with considerable hazard to himself, and painful ex citement. to the bystander?, to attempt to reach the shore by it ; and when midway, owing to the line not traversing on the hawser, he became for some mo ments suipended, and with every lurch of the schooner was dashed into the sea on the rocks; the remainder were got on shore one by one in a barrel suspended by a hank to the hawser. On landing they were all taken to the mansion of the Rev. W. J. Coope, for refreshment and rest; in which act of benevolence the ladies of the reverend gentleman's family took a very prominent part, exposing themselves to the in clemency of the weather for some hours to welcome one by one the shipwrecked mariners as they reached the shore, and when conducted to their mansion not being content but that they themselves must tend them with provisions, &c., and then requested that those who were disposed should go to bed, of which three took advantage, one of whom was an aged black. This poor creature appeared to be more immediately tleo object of commiseration from his benumbed condition. It i 3 said that during Thursday night the awful weather to which the vessel was exposed alarmed the fears of this aged African, who was in cessant in his invocations to John Wesley to save him. The poor fellow had probably been under the instruction of some Wesleyan missionary when in Africa. The assistance rendered by; Mr. Coope was incessant and extraordinary : with great personal risk he directed the adoption of means for assisting the crew to get on shore and in securing their property ; he re mained the entire day in the vicinity of the wreck or on board. Mr. Jarvis and his crew desire to express their unfeigned gratitude to Mr. Coope and his family for their unexampled kindness. By three o'clock in the afternoon the tide had left the vessel, and the weather had cleared and mode rated, which enabled her stores to be landed. The seamen's clothes, several parrots, and a monkey, were deposited at the mansion. The vessel was found to have lost her false keel, her rudder, which eves broken in two parts, stern-post started, anti had smashed her bottom from stem to stern. Owing to the favourable weather on Saturday, 71 cstsks we re got out of her, and taken up in lighters to this town. Mr. fames, the master commander of the Astrea, tendered all the assistance which the guardehip could etihrd ; but it is next to an impossi bility that the vessel will ever come off from her present position.

AUSTRIA The Vienna Gazette and the Austrian Corre spondent lately stated that Kossuth had deposited 2 000,000 of florins in the Bank of England. The Figyelmezzo, Magyar paper of Pesth, contains a declaration from the ex-Minister of Finance of Hun gary to the'effect that Kossuth never had the handling of any funds, and never received other money than what was due to him as salary. ITALY. A private letter from Rome mentions an epigram which had been posted on the walls of that city, al luding to the circumstance that M. Baraguay d'Hilliers has two aides-de-camp named Foy and Dieu; from which it infers that the French Republic, seeing that the Roman Government had neither faith nor God, had thought fit to send both. The Statuto of Florence quotes a letter from Rome of the Ist, in which it is stated that General Baraguay d'Hilliers' instructions are to threaten the Pope with the evacuation of the Roman States by all foreign troops, unless he consent to return to Rome imme diately. It also mentions a letter said to have been written by a French diplomatist, announcing that since the news of the embarkation of the Spanish troops, matters had assumed a more promising aspect at Portici ; that now it is the Pope himself who begs the French will remain ; that the arrival of the new Ambassador is anxiously expected, and that negotiations are about being entered into for a permanent garrisoning of Rome, but that it is probable General Baraguay d'Hilliers will insist upon the Pope's return before he enters into any parley on that subject. The corre spondent further says that the Pope has sent private instructions to the three cardinals recommending them to govern with the greatest moderation. The Piedmontese Gazette of the 6th publishes a royal ordonnance instituting a normal infantry school for the formation of good officers. The Reforma of Lucca states that war steamers are to ply on the Lago di Gardi, the Lago Maggiore, and the mouths of the Po. The Austrians are not fortifying Piacenza, as had been stated. The Piedmontese Gazette contains a Ministerial report and royal decree dated the 4th, founded upon it, which must be considered as a concession to the moderate Left of the late Piedmontese Chamber, and calculated to exercise a conciliatory influence on the impending elections. By this decree a special commis sion is named to examine applications for naturalization made by the natives of the provinces united to the king dom of Sardinia,in virtue of the laws of the 27th of May, 16th and 21st of June, 11th and 27th of July, 1848. The Commission is to take into especial consideration the applications of those : Ist.

DUBLIN, MONDAY EVENING, DEC. 10.—Two municipal elections took place to day for the wards vacated by Mr. Reynolds, M.P., electing to sit for his old ward, Merrion. Mr. Martin Burke, the eccentric but wealthy proprietor of the Shelburne Hotel, and who possesses the reputation of having saved Charles Gavan Duffy from the fate of John Mitchel, was returned for the Castle ward by a majority of 13 over James Meade Loughnan, a Repealer, who last week .vas ousted by a Conservative from the Custom house ward, for which he had sat since the Municipll Reform Bill. Mr. Bagnall, a Repealer, was returned without opposition for the Linen-hall ward, also va cated by Mr. Reynolds. The great will case of the Hon. Martin Ffrench against his brother Lord Ffrench, re-commenced to day, the Court having granted an order for a new trial. The case, which is a special jury one, sill last three or four days! THE NEW COURT AND THE OLD ONE.—The fol lowing intimation, which was going the rounds of the " Hall " to day evinces the noli-me-tangere relations in which the Court of Chancery and the En cumbered Estates Commission stand towards each other. It appears nothing can equal the politeness of one to the other, except its distance. It is now "fixed" by the Master of the Rolls, that he will not appoint a receiver on petition, on any lands brought into the Encumbered Estates Court, except at the cost of the party applying. Further, if any application be made for a receiver in respect of such lands, and his Hononr be not ap prised that they are so circumstanced, the order will be rescinded, with costs, to be paid by the solicitor presenting the petition for the receiver. The attorneys look upon this as sharp practice, even from one so little friendly to the profession as the Right Hon. T. B. C. Smith. The sudden death of John Boyse, Esq., the newly elected Mayor of Limerick, before he had entered on office, will cause a sharp contest for the civic I dignity in that city. Limerick is a stronghold of the Protectionists, and it is expected that the struggle for the mayoralty will embrace the questions of free trade or protection. Mr. Boyse was for a moderate fixed duty. A commercial paper of this evening has the follow ing particulars respecting a course of competition, at once insane and destructive, in which an immense Irish capital is wasted in mutual injury instead of in attempting to open up the thousand roads to prospe rity still accessible in this country to well-directed skill and industry : " One of the Dublin and London companies, irritated by the opposition given to them by some gentlemen con nected with Waterford, encouraged or assisted the establishment of a steamer between Waterford and Liverpool, in competition with the Waterford Steam packet Company; and the latter, by way of reta liation, have placed vessels on the Dublin and Liver pool station, to oppose the City of Dublin Com pany, which is nearly identical with the British and Irish Company, the promoters of the Waterford opposition. This last is supported by the Waterford and Kilkenny Railway Company, which claims indeed the merit of originating it, and in revenge for this intervention, parties connected with the old Waterford Company have set up cars for the con veyance of goods to and from K ilkenny, whereby the railway traffic has suffered severely. " The result of this insane competition is that between Dublin and London, Dublin and Liverpool, and between Waterford and Liverpool. the several steam compa nies are carrying goods and passengers at rates which yield to them little more than half their expenses. Four years ago there was but one company plying between this port and Liverpool; there aro now three; seven ships in each week being the addition made by the new comers. The freights are about one -fourth, one-fifth, or even one-sixth of what they then were; eno company, for instance, carrying sugar for 2s. per ton; bale goods for Id. per foot; and deck passengers at 3d. a head. If directors are devoid of common sense, have shareholders no power to put a stop to this inconceivable folly—to this rceklsss and most inexcusable waste?" THE FUNDS.—Three per Cent Consols, 95k; Three and-a-Quarter per Cent. Steck, 96k; Mining Company of Ireland, 5; Dublin and Kingstown Company, 132. ROYAL EXCHANGE. City Debentures, Four per Cents., 72k; Dublin Consumers' Gas Company, 4t. METROPOLITAN WATER SUPPLY.—On Monday evening a very numerous meeting of the parishioners cf Southwark and the districts adjacent was held at tho Three Tuns Tavern, Borough, for the purpose of con sidering " the present defective and impure supply of water to those localities, as now drawn from the pol luted river Thames ; and also for the purpose of adopt ing measures to secure a constant, cheap, abundant, and pure supply of water at high pressure, as essentially cessary for the health of the inhabitants." Mr. T. Walker, a churchwarden of St. Olave's, took the chair. Ho observed, that they had not mot for the promotion of any particular scheme. They wished to agitate the general question only, as no one could doubt that the supply from the cesspool of the Thames was unfit for human consumption. Not only was the water bad in quality, but deficient in quantity ; and, impure as it was, there was not even enough to supply the mlec rable dwellings of the poor, let, sub-let, and even re let again, and where the most imperative necessity existed for an unusually abundant supply. Mr. Challis, surgeon and chairman of the Bermondsey Board of Guardians, proposed the first resolution, and in doing so remarked, that the people were at present utterly unable to prevent the infliction of bad water upon themselves, and the Government would probably not greatly interest itself until the pressure from with out compelled them to give their undivided attention to the crying evil of the present monopoly. The late epi demic had peculiarly chosen for its ravages those dis tricts south of the Thames supplied with its waters, and, as if to indicate its deleterious influence, had literally stayed at the point where that supply ceased. The resolution he had to props° was, " That this meeting considers the water supply of the whole metropolis deficient in quantity, impure in quality, and more espe cially so in the parish of Southwark and the adjacent districts, that supply being drawn from the impure water of the Thames." Mr. William Howard seconded this resolution, which was unanimously agreed to. The second resolution recommended that " each metropolitan parish should, by vestry meetings or otherwise, support the principle of parochial co-operation for the purpose of obtaining from Parliament powers to place the whole of the water service under the management of a board of parochial representatives appointed by the rate. payers of all the metropolitan parishes." This was also egreed to, and the meeting separated after a vote of thanks to the chairman. THE EMPEROR, FAUSTIN.—A money-changer of Paris received yesterdayft om Port-au-Prince a complete set of all the coins struck since Soulouque has been declared Emperor. They aro of the same nominal value as the coins of France. Each coin represents on one side the new Emperor, in the imperial costume, like that of Napoleon on the day of his coronation; and on the cther side the inscription of "Faustin 1., Emperor of Hayti." Round the edge aro the words—" God protects my people."— Galignant s Messenger. The Belgian Moniteur annnounces officially that in consequence of the death of the Queen Dowager of England, the King of the Belgians has gone into mourning for two months from the 6th. THE LATE MURDER The murder of the child, Lewis Deake, at 33, Harley street, by Sarah Drake, its mother, has caused an extraordintry degree or excitement in the district of the Marylebone Police- court, and since the prisoner's examination before Mr. Long, on Friday last, many particulars have, through the activity of those intelligent officers Sergeant Whither, 27 A (detective), and Superintendent Kinder, of the Not tingham constabulary, transpired having a tendency to fix a vast amount of guilt upon the prisoner, apart from the awful charge still pending against her, and the correctness of what follows may be relied upon. It will be remembered that the child so inhumanly murdered by its mother, according to her own con fession to the searcher at the station-house, had been at nurse with a Mss. Johnson, at Shirley, near Croy don, and that after the whole of the evidence gone into on Friday, Mr. Kinder was directed by the magistrate to seek out Mrs. Johnson, in order that he might convey her into the country previous, if possible, to the interment of the body, so that she might have an opportunity of speaking as to its identity. He accordingly lost no time in proceeding to Shirley, where heesaw her (Mrs. Johnson), and explained to her the object of his visit. They went by train the same night, and arrived at North Leverton on Saturday afternoon, shortly after the inquiry before the coroner had been a second time adjourned. She saw the body of the murdered child, and was enabled to speak most positively as to its being that of Lewis Drake ; she also identified the clothes found in the box as forming part of those which the murdered child had on when she left it with Sarah Drake at her master's (Mr. Iluth's) house. She had had the child to nurse from the period of its being only six weeks old, and had brought it up by hand, and when she first undertook the charge of it the prisoner was lodging in Chelsea. It appears that she suddenly quitted there without informing Mrs. J. where she had gone to, and she heard nothing more of her until February last, the sum of 9/. 10s. being up to that time due to her for the child's support ; on the 27th ult., the day before the murder, Mrs. Johnson received a letter f.om the prisoner, desiring her to take the child to the parish, as she (prisoner) was about to leave England the next day for Spain ; and in the said letter she set forth that in the event of her dying through any mis chance at sea, she had given directions that she (Mrs. Johnson) should have the whole of her wearing apparel, which would go towards the liquidation of the debt. Mr. Johnson, who had reason to suspect that the story with regard to the trip to Spain was a mere ruse, thought it right that his wife should restore the child to its mother, and she therefore came up to town, and acted iu accordance with his wishes, after having had a great deal of trouble in ascertaining where the prisoner lived. This was on the day when it was so brutally murdered. She told her that her husband intended to sue her for what she owed ; and she ob served that he might do so if he thought proper. She returned home to Shirley, and in two days afterwards she received another letter from the prisoner, in which she alleged that she had arranged with another person as to the taking care of the child, and promised to pay what was owing in January next without fail. She (Mrs. Johnson) heard nothing additional upon the subject until waited upon by Sergeant Whither at her own house. Many other particulars of a startling nature have been brought to light;principally through the exertions of the detective officer alluded to, and he has, in the course:of bis inquiries, elicited the im portant facts that in 1842 the prisoner was tried for the wilful murder of an illegitimate child, and upon that occasion she was convicted of concealment of birth, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment. She was then living in a family at Layton, in Essex, as cook. In this case the child was also packed up in a box, which was addressed to the porter of the Knutsford Union ; an I from inquiries made by the police, the forwarding thereof was traced to the pri soner. In 1844, a box, having in it a dead infant newly born, was sent to Mr. Thomas Burton, another member of the family. An inquest was held upon the body ; hut in the course of the investigation gone into nothing transpired which could fix guilt upon any party. Taking all these circumstances into consideration, very little, if any, doubt can exist as to the prisoner having murdered no fewer than three children. On Monday Mr. Ander son, the governor of Ilford Gaol, had an interview with Mr. Long, the magistrate, to whom he made known some particulars connected with a former exa mination of the prisoner, and other matters appertain ing thereto. A copy of the depositions taken by the Coroner by whom the inquest on Lewis Drake was held has been received by the magistrate. It is therein set forth that the surgeon, upon making an examina tion, found, in addition to marks upon the throat, a bruise on the left side of the forehead, and extensive blows had also been inflicted upon the head; these alone were sufficient to cause death. The prisoner has ever since she has been in the House of Detention, where she will remain until brought up on remand next Saturday, been in an extremely dejected state, and makes no reference whatever to any of the attendants of the prison as to the awful crime with which she stands charged. It is stated that during the short time she was in the family of Mr. Huth the appeared to be remarkably serious and reserved, and that whenever opportunity offered she employed her time in reading the Bible, the Prayer-book, and other works of a religious and moral tendency. TO THE _EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sift,—ln a recent number of you paper you in serted the complaints of a Colombian Bondholder. I hope you will not refuse to extend the same indulgence to those of a New Granadian. Bad as the conduct of the South American States has been towards their foreign creditors, that of New Granada has been he most iniquitous. In 1845 it had wearied, or rather bullied its creditors into an acceptance of 1 per cent. instead of 6 per cent., as stipulated in the original bonds, the payment of which was to be guaranteed by an assignment of the net proceeds of tobacco and half the Customs duties; but, with the usual disregard of their most solemn engagements, these duties were appropriated to any and every purpose but those for which they were specially hypothecated; and the paltry pittance of has not been forthcoming, there being three dividends entirely unpaid, and a l6, OO already portionO /. , haf o l f yearly, a fou rth. What a picture of national degradation ! It is hardly possible to conceive a nation so dead to its own honour as to barter it for a mess of pottage, voluntarily submitting—as the late Sydney Smith said—to the heaviest load of infamy, but shrinking from the lightest burden of taxation, for their, mean's are ample—integrity in their appli cation alone is wanting. Whilst the holders of Mexican, Spanish, and other Bonds are exerting themselves to obtain their rights, those of New Granada are exhibiting the most unac countable apathy ; no public meeting to re monstrate against such injustice, or to solicit the aid of Government in our favour—no communication of any kind to the bond holders since February last, when it was stated in a note of Messrs. Baring, to Mr. Robinson, they had then in hand on account of dividends 13,385), and further, that the Minister had informed them that his last dispatch, dated Bogota, Dec. 13, 1848, in structed him that the Government had directed 500,000 francs to be remitted here for the dividends. Whether the whole, or any part of that, may have been received we have no intelligence. My only motive in intruding on your columns, and through them on the public, is the hope that it may meet they eye of those to whose hands our interests are intrusted, and induce them to ocnvene a general meeting of the bondholders, when measures may be adopted the most likely to obtain for us what has been so long and so unjustly withheld. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, A GRAN ADIAN BONDHOLDER. Abergavenny, Dec. 8, 1849.

LAW INTELLIGENCE JUDICIAL COMMITTEE OF THE PRIVY COUNCIL, Dec. 11. GORHAM V. THE 13131101' OF EXETER. (Centinued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Mr. TURNER continued to say, he had dealt with the question as if their Lordships had to consider whether Mr. Gorham's doctrine was the doctrine of the Church of England. But that was not the question. The question was, whether the doctrine of Mr. Gorham was disaffirmed by the doctrine of the Church of England. Unless they proved that the doctrines of Mr. Gorham were opposed to the Articles of the Church of England, their Lordships could not affirm the sentence of the Court below. Those doctrines of the Church of England were laid down at the dawn of the Reformation, when it was necessary to embrace as many denominations of Christians as possible. Article 6 said, " Holy Scripture contained all that was necessary to a man's salvation." Was not that a declaration that the framers of these Articles meant that nothing was required as an article of faith but what was contained in Scripture ? Article 20 said the Church had power to order rites and ceremonies, yet it was not competent to decree anything not contained in God's Wurd. The frame of those articles was, that they contained certain things as proved and as necessary to be believed, and they left ocher things as not proved as not necessary to a man's salvation. They left undetermined various questions, and those various questions the Crown in its declaration had said were to be collected from Scrip ture by those who read and interpreted the Scripture, and who were] entrusted by the Church of England with that interpretation. The Learned Judge in the court below had said the Articles of the Church of England were open to doubt ; was that doubt to be solved by a person in the position of a single judge of the Ecclesiastical Court? He contended if those Articles were open to doubt that doubt was to be settled in a full convocation of the clergy, and not by the dictum of a judge in the Ecclesiastical Court. W hat was the effect of the decision of the Learned Judge? If the bishops might lay down rules of faith from expressions in the de. votional services of the Church, where was to be the limit to that authority ? A clergy man might be capable of holding a living in one diocese, and incapable of holding a living in another, owing to a diversity of opinion between the bishops of those dioceses—nay, more, a clergyman might be deemed unworthy of holding a living in the life of one bishop and worthy in the life of another. To affirm the sentence of the Court below would be giving the opinion of the Bishop of Exeter, on expressions used in the devotional services of the Church of England, the force and Effect of an Act of Parliament. The Learned Counsel read from an early liturgy in use in 1549, and before the Articles were framed, certain expres sion from the various offices, from which ho deduced that there was in them as clear and express a declaration of the regeneration of baptism, and as plain a litany for that blessing as was contained in the. Book of Common Prayer. Scripture from the beginning to the end had been silent with respect to infant baptism; and the Church of England had wisely abstained from giving its opinion upon it. He would found another argument upon the usage that had prevailed in the Church of England on the effect of infant baptism. Bishops and writers of great eminence in the Church of Eng land had entertained different notions upon infant baptism, and they had, nevertheless, still retained their position in the Church of England ; and now it was said that a clergyman, who ventured to differ in some respects from his Bishop on points of doctriae, was in capacitated from holding preferment in the Church. After the publication of the Articles in 1562, bishops and writers of great eminence in the Church of Eng land, had held opinions in favour of the doctrines of election and predestination, which were diametrically opposed to the Articles of the Church. If the Ecclesi astical Court could not determine the interpretation to be put upon the Articles, neither could the Bishop, in asmuch as an appeal lay from the Bishop to the Eccle eiat-tical Court. Tho Learned Gentleman had not concluded his ad• dre,s at the rising of the Court at twenty minutes to four o'clock. The Court intimated its inability to sit either on Thursday or Saturday next, so that the further heating of this case will proceed to-day and on Friday. Dr. Beyford is counsel, with Mr. Turner, for the ap pellant, and Dr. Addams and Mr. Ba,ddeley represent the Bishop of Exeter. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF TUESDAY.

Taylor and Bright's circular states:—Ar rivals have been moderate during the week, and but for . the unexpected change from severe frost to compara tively mild weather, we should probably have had more firmness in our market; as it is, the same hand-to mouth system is pursued that has so long characterised the trade, and no one seems disposed to buy beyond his apparent immediate w ants. The supply of farmers' wheat for this day's market was moderate, and we are unable to note any change in the value of good conditioned samples, but less disposition was manifested to take late prices. Very little passing in foreign, with only a small quantity offering from shipboard. Barley goes off for grinding at about the late low rates, while malting is exceedingly dull. For other descriptions of grain we do not alter our qu,tations. Linseed fully as dear, but cakes are easier to buy. No transactions to report in rapeseed, and lower rates are again taken for cakes.

AND CHINA MAILS OP TRH 24TH NOVEMBER.—A letter from Malta, dated 2d inst„ received in London yesterday, contains the following : "The Peninsular and Oriental Company's ship Indus arrived hero at seven p.m., on the 30th ult., from South ampton and Gibraltar. She has been ready for sea since two p.m. yesterday, but is detained waiting for the Mar seilles portion of the mails, which ought to have been here on the evening of the 30th. N.B. As the French steamer Leonidas, which was engaged by the British Government to take these mails to Malta, in con sequence of an accident to the Admiralty packet, did not leave Marseilles until the Ist inst., and is known to be a very slow vessel, there is great reason to fear that the mails would not reach Malta until after the de parture of the Indus (which could not be detained beyond the 3d inst.), and that consequently the mails would most likely have to wait at Malta until next month's steamer. ikI3VERTISEMENT.]—A dreadful Abscess under the Chin Cured by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—Robert Davidson, shoemaker, of Anstruther, had suffered for more than five years with a very dreadful abscess under his chin ; during this time he had been under the care of two surgeons in Anstruther and one in Edinburgh, without the least prospect of a cure. In this miserable condition he began to use Hollo way's Ointment and Pills, which, in the short space of two months, soundly healed the wound ; and he is now enjoying the best of health. Theme fine medicines are admirable remedies for king's evil, wounds of all kinds, burns, scalds, piles, fistula, and bearings down.
