the Confederates, so it is conjectured he would give them full information. The Tribune's Washington despatch of the 26th says: -- " Sherman's expedition to the Southern coast will sail within three weeks at the farthest ; 15 or 20 regiments will have the privilege of going to Charlestown, as the principal officers in command believe ; but Mobile or New Orleans is our conjec ture. General Viel's brigade of five regiments, now in camp here, will form part of the force, and will go to Fortress Monroe, to sail thence in a few days. General Sherman will not strike the only blow on the seaboard." The Canadian news is unimportant. A good deal of " prespecting" was going on in the Chaudier gold region, but there are no reports of fresh discoveries of the precious metals. Freights at. Quebec were quoted at 265. 6d to 275. 6d. to Liverpool, and 275. to 275. 6d to the Clyde. NEW YORK, Sept. 27, Evening. —Flour bas ad vanced 5c to 10c per brl, with a good export demand.

A small collar with a light steel chain is useful to take the animal out of doors. It should be constantly provided with bread soaked in warm milk, and squeezed dry when cold. This should be changed every morning. It may have as many nuts as it can eat, and occasionally a few acorns. dine would sleep in my pocket, and run over my shoulders kith the greatest familiarity.

(Before the Assistant Judge.) James Simmons was indicted for stealing a silver watch, the property of a gentleman named Turner. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was sentenced to two years' imprisonment with hard labour. Charles Turnpenny was indicted for feloniously assault ing police-constable Billing, 98 G. From the evidence it appeared that while the prisoner Simmonds was being conveyed to the station in charge of police-constable Billing, Turnpenny, who was associated with the prisoner, attempted to incite him to escape. Fail ing in this he retired, and police.-constable 211 G saw him pick up a stone and deliberately throw it at Billing. The stone struck the constable on the forehead, and inflicted a severe wound. The jury found the prisoner guilty. The Assistant-Judge said it was a very cowardly offence, and sentenced the prisoner to two years' imprisonment with hard labour. Two men, named Johnson and Smith, were indicted for stealing a neckcloth value £2. The prisoners, in attempting to dispose of the property, were taken into custody on suspicion of having stolen the cloth, which turned out to be true. The jury found both prisoners guilty. There was another indictment for felony against Smith, to which he pleaded guilty. The Assistant Judge asked whether anything was known against the prisoners. Against Johnson nothing was said, but Smith, the learned judge was informed, had previously been convicted for steal ing 1131bs. of lead from the Orphan Working School, and for which offence he was sentenced to seven years' trans portation, which only expired last year. The learned Judge said it appeared more than likely that Johnson had been the tool of the elder prisoner, and that being his opinion he was induced to take a lenient view of the case as far as he was concerned, and he should only sen tence him to six months' imprisonment. With respect to Smith he had no hesitation in sentencing him to eight years' penal servitude. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) BOW-STREET. Margaret Porter was charged with breaking a large quantity of glass, the property of a licensed victualler in Queen-street. The complainant said last night the prisoner was stand ing in front of the bar interfering with a gentleman who had been paying her some money. She told her to leave off, but she refused, and as her customers again complained of her conduct she went round to persuade her to leave the house. Immediately she got in front of the prisoner she took hold of her (complainant's) cap and tore it into rib bons ; and when she attempted to free herself from the pri soner's grasp she took up a pint pot and threw it at her, which fortunately missed her head, but struck one of the shelves in the bar, which was filled with glasses, decanters, and other articles. The shelf fell, and the whole of the glass was broken: After some difficulty the prisoner was got out of the house and given into custody. Prisoner said it was nothing of the kind. The gentleman was larking with her, and the landlady felt annoyed at it. She came round and seizing her by the hair attempted to put her out of the house. To induce her to leave her hold she did take up a pint pot and throw it at some !glass, but instead of the great quantity broken, the complainant spoke of only three tumblers we destroyed. Mr. Henry told the prisoner she must pay 205,, the cost of the glass which had been destroyed, or go to prison for 14 days. Prisoner—l only broke three tumblers. I've no money, so I can't pay at present. She was then locked up in de fault. Charles Parker, an aged man, was charged with stealing an iron vice from a shop in St. Giles's. William Jackson, marine-store dealer, said last night ho was called by one of his children, who was standing at his shop door, saying that a man had stolen something from the door. He ran after him and overtook the prisoner, who had the iron vice in his hand. It Was worth about 4s. 6d. The prisoner said he was a tailor by trade, and he took the vice through want, he had nothing to eat all day yes terday, and hunger compelled him to steal the property. I plead guilty to stealing the article. Mr. Henry—Where have you been employed ? Prisoner—l've done no work for the last three years, at least no regular work. I've bought some old clothes, which I doctered up and sold, but I could not make anything by the transaction. Mr. Henry—l should think you could get employment if you tried. Prisoner—No, sir, I can't. I tried hard, but it's no use; they won't employ old men. Mr. Henry—You might get work of some kind, at less wages than young men. Prisoner —Reduced wages! Why, they only pay Thd. for making a pair of cord trousers, out of which you have to find your own trimming, thread, silk, and twist. Groves is only giving 10d. Mr. Henry—How old are you Prisoner—Fifty-seven; and I never was in trouble before. Mr. Henry—l must have some inquiry made about you. Remanded. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. ROBBERY AT THE ST. JAMES' DINING ROOMS.—John Stone, an artful looking young fellow, and who there is little doubt has appeared in police courts on former occa sions, was charged with stealing an umbrella and fork from the St. James's Dining Rooms. It appeared from the evidence of an assistant waiter, George Alfred James, that on the previous night while coming down the stairs from the dining room he saw the prisoner in the back bar, and as soon as the prisoner saw him he ran out of the place, an umbrella and a spoon being dropped in the passage. He went after the prisoner, and having set up the cry of " Stop Thief," the prisoner was taken into custody. The prisoner cross-examined the witness, but the only effect of his doing so was to make the case clear against him. Herring, 60 0, said hearing a cry of " Stop Thief" ho caught the prisoner, who was running, and said he had as much right to run as anybody else. Mr. Beadon told tho prisoner that it was clear he was there for an improper purpose, and committed him for three months' hard labour. A Guoss IMPOSTOR.—Elizabeth Balls was charged as follows :—She weht into the shop of Mr. Robert Cox, jeweller, of 361, Oxford-street, when there were some cus tomers there, and Mr. Cox to get rid of her gave her a penny. Thinking that she was an impostor he followed her, and saw her go into several other shops, and then into a public-house. On her coming out he asked her if she had paid for what she had, and she, thinking he was con nected with the public-house, replied, ,4 Oh, yes, I paid 20. for a half-quartern of gin." She then walked back in front of Mr. Cox's house—Mr. Cox being one of the guardians of the poor of St. James's —and there begged of a gentle man, and Mr. Cox then gave her in charge. Mr. Beadon committed her for seven days. ,ITIE S. CLERKENWELL. ASSAULTING THE POLICE.—ThIIahy Crawley, a young man, was charged with violently assaulting the police, and Michael Crawley, his father, was charged with attempting to rescue his son from custody. From the evidence of police-constable 202 G, it appeared that the younger prisoner, about half-past 7 last evening, was creating a disturbance in Leath er-lane. As he was very much intoxicated the policeman persuaded him to go away, but instead of taking the constable's advice, he began a violent attack upon him. The constable had to call for further assistance, when G 201 came up, and they endea voured to take Crawley to the station. He struggled very violently and repeatedly called out for help, when the elder prisoner came up and attempted to rescue his son from cus tody. Another constable attracted by the noise came to the spot, and then a regular fight took place between the two prisoners, and the officers. After a great deal of trouble both were safely conveyed to the station-house, but not before some of the constables' clothing had been torn. Mr. Wakeling subjected the constables to a rigid cross examination, but they persisted in their statements that both prisoners conducted themselves in the most violent manner, and that the force that was used to convey them to the station was actually necessary. ➢Tr. Barker sent both prisoners to the House of Correc tion for a month. drunkenness, and ribaldry ; and my wife, a timid woman, has been greatly alarmed. Mr. Woolrych—Give them notice to quit. The applicant—l have done so. The notice expires to day. They say they wont leave. They have no furniture. I have been kept up all night, and am quite unfitted for business. Mr. Woolrych advised the applicant to purchase a printed form and give his tenants a second notice to quit. If that was not complied with on or before Wednesday next, he (Mr. Woolrych) would issue his warrant to eject the parties. BRITISH POSSESSIONS.

MOST UNCOMFORTABLE TENANTS.—A respectable man, who said he was a foreman in the West India Dock, applied to Mr. Woolrych for advice as to the best means of ejecting some troublesome tenants, who had subjected him to great loss and inconvenience. The appplicant said that a few weeks since a woman, hiredapparentlys hehaadpa rn ot mt of be en d e e t ns c e ot n hf t ehr a n iem d t oa manyrdn d e r hs l y ao iv a dr p s ti p h e b a oe r f aonr wasec e s ah a n ed dr introducedess manmankeerrs., a man, who she said was ber husband, but who turned out to be a great blackguard, and was only her paramour. Soon afterwards two girls were brought into the house. They were prostitutes, and their language and oonduct wore of the most filthy description. Strange men were brought home at all hours of the day and night. There were continual quarrels, and the woman who originally took the lodgings and her male companion had twice fought. The night before last there was a fearful brawl between the infamous couple, and the screams and cries of murder alarmed the neighbours. The man was wounded. This morning, between the hours of 2 and 3 o'clock, an other quarrel took place, and the woman threw a plate at the man, which struck him upon the arm and divided an artery. Mr. Woolrych—l think you would have been justified in giving your lodgers into custody for a breach of the peace. The applicant—l want to get rid of them altogethor. I am out all day in the dock. My house, formerly a quiet one, is in s continual uproar—there is fighting, mauling) THE STORY OF JOE SJIMT. Never did the search for the lost tribes, that romance of ingenious divines, lead to stranger re sults than when Solomon Spaulding, a clergyman in the State of Ohio, sat down to compose a romantic history of the ancient races of the New World. Spaulding supposed that the lost tribes of Israel could be identified with the extinct races of America; and, reasoning it out as divines are too apt to do, on the obscurum per obscurius prin ciple, he came to the conclusion that the one mystery would explain the other, and so the history of the Old and the New World could be dovetailed together. To give greater originality to his composition he, as far as possible, imitated the style of the Bible, and called his book " The Manu script Found." This manuscript was unfortu na t e l y never printed ; had it been so the world might have had one more useless book, but would have never heard of one very mischievous religion. In its manuscript form it was read and even circulated in the neighbourhood, and, among other folk, was read by Joseph Smith, the prophet of Mormonism. Smith was the fourth child of a small farmer in the State of Vermont, of whom there is nothing remarkable known or recorded. He did as most Americans of his age and class. He made a fortune by one speculation and lost it by another ; then turned schoolmaster and farmer ; was converted in 1811 through his wife's prayers, and even saw visions ; and died in the end, in the year 1840, a fervent adhe rent to the religion invented by his son. Smith's mother was the real progenitor of the prophet. She was a weak, mystical woman, who saw visions and dreamed dreams, and went even so far as to fancy that one of her daughters, named Sophronia, was suddenly cured, after having been supposed to be dead for several hours. The example of such a mother seems to have impressed Joseph Smith with the vanity and emptiness of religious worship. He saw his mother swept round and round in a whirl , pool of religious emotion, and, finding how easily others could manipulate minds so impressible as his mother's, the thought seems to have grown upon him that he, too, could do a stroke of business in that way, and set up as a preacher and prophet on his own account. Mrs. Smith sought for truth; the son declared that it did not exist, The mother be lieved that she sometimes in her visions caught a glimpse of its radial image ; the son forged imagi nary visions, and, constructing out of them a fiction, offered it as truth to the homage of the credulous. So he grew to manhood--a mystic on that perilous brink between deceiving and being deceived. Lending a willing ear himself to tales of the supernatural, and then disgusted with the folly of these impostures, he avenged himself by imposing on others the same delusions which had been palmed on himself. Here was hope ful material, on which, as a spark on prepared tow, the romance of the Rev. Solomon Spaulding fell. The result was Mormonism. The word Mormon he had coined by an uncritical jumble of the reformed Egyptian word mon, which means good, and the English word, more, Mormon thus meaning more good, or better. It is probable that Joseph in giving this etymology meant to insinuate that the Book of Mormon is better than the Bible, but the impostor had not the wit to see that his cheat carried a con tradiction on the face of it.—Dublin University Magazine. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. Fresh up to-day the arrivals of English wheat were limited. For both red and white qualities the trade ruled inactive, nevertheless Monday's advance in the quotations was supported. The transactions in foreign wheat were by no means on an extensive scale ; in prices, however, no quotable change took place. The show of samples was only moderate. _ - Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, at pre vious currencies. The trade for barley was in a sluggish state, and prices had a downward tendency, more especially as regards malting qualities. The demand for malt ruled inactive, at late rates. Fine oats supported former prices, with a steady inquiry, but inferior kinds were rather cheaper. Beans wore a slow sale, and peas changed hands heavily, at Monday's prices, For most kinds of flour there was a steady, but far from active demand, at full quotations. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat.

In the afternoon his lordship, attended by Col. Tervois, R.E., rode out and inspected the new forts and lines of defence now being constructed for the protection of the port and arsenal on its eastern side. Rear- Admiral Charles Eden, C. 8., who has also arrived, paid a visit yesterday to the Britannia naval cadet training ship. The Moniteur Vinicole states that the vintage throughout France has been favoured by magnificent weather and is progressing admirably. The grapes are all gathered in the southern departments, and the accounts received thence are unanimous in describing the quality of the wine as very superior and the quantity greater than was expected. GAS OR WATER.—The consumption of gas now is at least double what it was ten years ago; and the an nual quantity manufactured in London is about 8,000 mil lions of cubic feet. One-fourth of this quantity, according to reliable estimates, is lost by leakage, condensation, dis honesty, and bad debts ; and at least one-half of this fourth —or 1,000 millions of cubic feet—escapes every year into the London street earth. Mr. Spencer, as analytical chemist to the New River Company, has traced this escaped gas in its destructive action upon the 4,700 miles of metropolitan gas and water mains, until underground London appears to be ono vast grave of iron rotting into plumbage. The 12 gas mains, with their 80 joints, which lie side by side with water mains and telegraphic-wire pipes over the sewers in Cockspur-street, Charing. cross, are not such a happy family as their appearance would lead us to suppose. They are crowded together like tramps in a threepenny bed, and there does not seem to be room for a rat to run between them ; but there is no real friendship for all this shaking of hands. The defective joints of the gas-mains lead to the enormous leakage just described, and the escaped gas, by its action on the street-earth, destroys water-pipes in a few years that ought to last for a century. Apart from the feel condition of the London street-earth, we are all interested in saving this escaped gas and this destroyed pipeage, for our gas bills include the cost of the one, and our water bills the cost of the other. While the water-pipes are softened, and the gas penetrates the tubes, the water is also adulterated with an undrinkable mixture. I have heard of a letter addressed to a leading water company, which ran somewhat in this form :—" Mr. Blank presents his compliments to the Blank Company, and wishes to know whether they supply gas or water. Mr. Blank is led to make this inquiry, because one of his servants went to the cistern with a pitcher and a can dle, and instead of procuring water, she blew up the roof of a wash-house."---Dickens's " All the Year Round." WOLF SHOOTING IN FRANCE.—In the forests situated on the limits of the departments Correze, Dor dogne, and Haute-Vienne, a grand battue for the destruc tion of wolves took place a few days ago, and the result was that several were killed, others wounded, and ono caught tiliVO hi the village of Sant-hau-le-yendound, SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

When the flag fell all, with the exception of Blacklock, got off on even terms, Mermaid showing the way, with Antioch, Gleam, Miss Coutts, and Bookaloom well up. As the lot entered the straight Gleam deprived Mermaid of the lead, and came on in front until opposite the Stand, where Blacklock shot through his horses, and took second place, but never could reach Gleam, who won cleverly by a head. Blacklock beating Mermaid for second place by three parts of a length ; Lucknow was fourth, Shingle fifth, Antioch next, the rest beaten off. The winner was afterwards bought in for 120 guineas.

These positions were maintained to the turn into the straight, where Scent and Zodiac took second and third places. In this order they finished, Knutsford keeping the lead to the end, and win ning cleverly by two lengths, the second beating the third by three parts of a length ; Prince Imperial was fourth, close up ; Heiress fifth, Avalanche sixth, and the favourite last.

There was not much business done on either the Cam bridgeshire or Cesarewitch. For the latter, 100 to 7 was taken agst schism, and 100 to 6 rather freely about Paste. The only other change calling for notice was the disposition to lay against Donner and Blitz, who was supported at 20 to 1, then 100 to 4 was laid, and at the close 20 to 1 was freely offered.

A very excitin c i scullers' race between two below-bridge men took place yesterday over the great Metropolitan course between Putney and Mortlake, and created consi derable interest. The competitors were Thomas William Crout and Charles Webb, both young watermen, the former hailing from Woolwich, and the latter from Green wich, both places being famed for their good men. The st Ake was £25 a-side, the distance Putney Aqueduct to the Ship at Mortlake ; and the steamboat Venus accompanied the race, the well-known captain of the boat (Mr. George Sharplin), being referee. Both men had been well trained for the occasion, and were in capital fettle. 'Webb being much bigger than his opponent ergo he was made the favourite slightly, much money depending upon the 'result. Webb won the toss for choice of stations, but Crout soon obtained a trifling lead, which he gradually increased until he was leading by a clear length at Finch's. Webb now began to come up, and a fine race followed between them to the Point, where NI , ebb in his turn began to shoot in front, and at Craven Cottage (about a mile), was newly clear. It still continued a fine race, Webb increasing his lead to a length or more at the Crab Tree, and this he held to the Soap Works, where the race seemed over, but Crout now put on several fine spurts and was soon level ; a desperate race followed to near the bridge at Hammersmith, and then Crout fairly out-rowing his antagonist went by him, and was leading by more than a length under the bridge. From this point there was no change save that Crout in creased his lead all the way and won by 100 yards. He trained at Salter's, the Feathers, Wandsworth. Robert Bain, of Lambeth, was umpire for Crout. THIS DAY'S SIiIPPING. LONDON, Oct. 9.—Wind this day at noon—South- Westerly ; moderate breeze and fine weather ; a fall of rain in the morning.

Subjoined is the answer of Lord Russ6l to the memorial on Mexican affairs lately presented on behalf of the mercantile community. It is less hope ful than might have been wished with regard to the possibility of a strong and respectable Govern ment being established in that country, but in other respects is sufficiently explicit : " " Forei gn - o ffi ce, Oct. 3, 1861. Gentlemen,l have received and considered with the greatest attention the memorial you have ad dressed to mc. "You have described truly the evils which afflict Mexico—the robbery and the bloodshed, the im punity of crime, and the absence of any controlling authority in what is called the Government. "Her Majesty's Government have a right by treaty, nnd by all the laws which govern interna -1 Tonal relations, to require security for the persons and property of British subjects, and the perform ance of specific engagements on the part of Mexico. " Her Majesty's Government will exercise this right. " But her Majesty's Government cannot think it wise to interfere in the internal government of Mexico. You seem to think that a protecting force thrown into Mexico for the simple purpose of main taining public tranquillity would succeed in attain ing that object, and that even a small force might suffice for the purpose. " I am sorry to say that I think a very large force would be insufficient to restore public tran quillity. "This is a task which the Mexicans must accom plish for themselves. There are very few cases in which foreign interference can be beneficial, and in those few cases there must be a large and numerous party in the country prepared to avail itself of foreign aid. "f am concerned to say that I see no proof of the existence of such a party in Mexico. "Her Majesty's Government, therefore, must con fine their action to the clear and legitimate purpose of demanding from the de facto Government of Mexico, however constituted, respect for the per sons and property of British subjects, and the ful filment of recorded obligations: " I have the honour to be, gentlemen, your most obedient humble servant, "RUSSELL. " To Messrs. Rothschild and Sonß, Messrs. Fin lay, Hodgson, and Co., and others." THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA. From the miscellaneous commercial advices from New York this week it appears that the hope which was entertained by a large class of respectable traders in that city that a sudden caprice of the majority might before long lead to a compromise and termination of the war has been greatly damped by the total disavowal, on the part of the Federal Cabinet, of the proceedings of General Fremont. When that officer issued his Abolition proclamation it was assumed that the Northern States, with the exception of Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island, where alone the Slavery question is made a real element of the present struggle, would be aroused to a common feeling of alarm at the con sequences to be expected from indiscriminate eman cipation, which might lead them even in the face of the repressive measures of the Government to demand a change of Administration. The Govern ment, however, by anticipating this contingency, and publishing an immediate censure on General Fremont, have escaped the danger, and brought the contest again to its simple revolutionary form, the Anti-Slavery fiction evidently being discarded by common consent. The only passions left at play, therefore, are those excited in an unmixed struggle for supremacy, and, as the tremendous expenditure of the Government scatters bribes to all the specu lators and idlers engaged in keeping up the storm, there is considered now to be little prospect of peace, except as the result of a financial convulsion. That such a convulsion must take place, and that a depreciated currency and national bankruptcy twill, supposing the war to be continued, be witnessed before the lapse of many months, is stated to be the firm conviction of leading American bankers. If this consummation presents the only means by which the ferocity and folly of the people are likely to be stayed, every friend of the country must earnestly desire its speedy arrival. Times City Article. HEALTH OF LONDON _DURING THE WEEK. (From the Begzstrar r General's Weekly .Return.) In the week that ended last Saturday 1,147 deaths were registered in London. The average number for corresponding weeks in the ten previous years, corrected, is 1167; but if 411 deaths from cholera in the first week of October, 1854, are excluded from the data of which the calculation is made, it will be found that the rate of mortality that pre vailed last week was not below the average. Measles was fatal in the week in only 7 cases, a return unusually low. There were 99 deaths from scarlatina, besides 21 from diphtheria. Of 9 deaths from all causes in the sub-district of Woolwich dockyard, 3 were from diptheria, and 2 from scar latina. A woman and a child died at 1, Harring ton-terrace, Woolwich, of diphtheria. Four children died from scarlatina in the sub-district of Waterloo-road, second part, in the poor portion of which the registrar, Mr. Daws, states that this disease is extremely prevalent. He adds that the mortality of his district has been higher last quarter, than in any corresponding period of the last twelve years, excepting the time when cholera. prevailed. A man, aged 19 years, died in Bath street, City-road, of" epistaxis (3 weeks) ;" and the daughter of a surgeon in the King's-road, Holborn, aged 14 years, died on the 29th September of sun stroke after three weeks' illness • Last week the births of 923 boys and 895 girls, in all 1818 Children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1851.60 the average number was 1506. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.816 inches. The readings fell to 29.57 inches on Tues day, the Ist inst., and rose to 30.02 inches on Thurs day. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 59.3 deg., which is 5.9 deg. above the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The mean daily temperature was above the average throughout the week, and on Tuesday the excess was as much as 10.8 deg. The highest day temperature was 74 deg. on Monday ; the lowest night temperature was 48.3 deg. on Thurs day. The range of temperature was therefore 25.7 deg. The mean daily range was 18.5 deg. The difference between the mean dew-point temperature and air temperature was 4.6 deg. Th e mean d egree of hum i dity of the air was 86, com pl e t e sa t urat i on being represented by 100, which point was almost attained on Saturday. The wind was chiefly in the south-west and south-east, from which latter point it blew on the last three days. The amount of rain was 018 inches. The mean temperature of the Thames was 58.3 deg. There was thunder and lightning on the evening of Tuesday: In the thirteen weeks that ended Saturday, Sept. 28, the total number of deaths registered in London was 14,932. It exceeded by 2,000 the number re turned in the same period of last year, when the weather was both cold and wet, and therefore less favourable to the development of summer cholera. In the three summer months of this year the mean temperature of the air was 60.4 deg., whereas in corresponding period of the those of 1860 it was 56.8 deg.

Croup rose from 105 to 177, diphtheria from 71 to 168, and typhus from 311 to 429. But scarlatina exhibited no increase, while, small-pox and measles showed a very material de cline. The facts seem to indicate that diphtheria is more dependent on those local or atmospheric causes that develop or intensify whooping-cough and croup than on those by which the scarlatinal poison is quickened into action ; but this is a point to be settled by more extended observation. In the three corresponding quarters of 1859, 1860, 1861, deaths from small-pox were 287, 99, and 44. Both bronchitis, which was fatal in 681 cases, and o:pneu monia, fatal in 562, were attended by a higher mr tality than is usual in the summer q uarter. r evailed Scarlatina and diarrhoea appear to have The p former most in some of the southern distr icts. complaint was the cause o f i 32 deaths n the two sub-districts of Waterloo-roa d, an d of 17in the west sub-district of Greenwich: e The l at t er (diarrhcea) t h e s üb-d of St. was recorded in 2 9 ease s n i 24 i in that istrict of Leather Saviour's, Southw k_ ar lle ter, Walworth ; 38 in St. ?Market; 28 in S t. 8 4 in Lambeth Church sub-dis- Waterloo-road t ; St. Paul, Deptford ; 34 in Greenwich, tricts ;38 in •-• • PI tead On lwich, 26 in ums . th e north 32 i n woo Ri ver , Islington returned 113 d eat h s se o f the from diarrhoea.
