(Frees the .Registrar-General's Weekly R e t urn. ) Last week th ere were 1,364 deaths in London. The report for the week that ended on the 11th inst. showed an increase of 100 deaths over those of the trevious week; and the re turn for the week that ended last Saturday exhibits a fur ther increase of nearly 100 on the preceding number. The average number of deaths in ten corresponding week (viz,, a week in each of the years 1853-62) is fouad, with a s co rrection for i ncrease of population, to be 1 ,223 ; and the actual number o f deaths is therefore in excess of the esti mated number by 141. The increase in the mortality is caused chiefly by diarrhcea, the deaths from which rose from 47 and 91 in the two previous weeks to 148 last week. Besides the deaths referred to " diarrhea," there were also 15 from summer cholera. Of the 163 deaths referred to under both heads 142 occurred to infants under two years of age. Eleven deaths from diarrhea in the west sub-district of Islington, Where there were also 9 from scarlatina. Small-pox was returned in 51 oases, 12 of which are stated to have occurred after vaccination. But the evidence of vaccination, or of the successful performance of it, is often of doubtful character. The mortality of the disease gives not much indication of decline ; it is satisfactory, however, to know that it does not increase. Ten of the 51 deaths occurred in the Small-pox Hospital. On July 7, in St. Martin's Workhouse, a man who had been formerly a bedstead -maker, aged 52 years, died from "the want of common necessaries ; found in the street in an exhausted state, and died in four days."—lnquest. Two deaths in the week are referred to intemperance, besides 6 to "delirium tremens." A. woman died at the age of 95 years, and another at 99. Last week the births of 930 boys and 880 girls, in all 1,810 children, were registered in London. In the ten cor responding weeks of the years 1853-62 the average number (corrected) was 1,803.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ATTEMPT TO STAB —A DESPERATE FELLOW.—Joseph Grande, cook at the Hotel de I'Europe, 9, Haymarket, was charged before Mr. Mansfield with threatening and attempt ing to stab a young man named Robert Blackburn, also employed at the Hotel de l'Europe as porter. The complainant said—Yesterday afternoon, about five o'clock, I had some words with the prisoner, when be threatened to do for me, or to lay me up in the hospital. I took hold of the prisoner's collar and shook him and asked him what he meant. The prisoner did not make any reply but went upstairs, and in cunse li quence of what he told the barmaid she said that I was to leave, and paid me my wages and I left. In the evening I wanted to see one of the waiters, and met the prisoner in the street. I said " Holloa, cook, is that you ?" and he then put his hand under his dress, and drew out a knife and made a run at me and made two or three deter mined efforts to stab me, but I stepped back, and thus avoided it. I then ran down the street, and the prisoner followed me with the knife in his hand. I called out " police" as loudly as I could, and this brought a crowd of persons round, and the prisoner threw away the knife, and afterwards denied having it. The knife—a large sharp pointed carving knife—was here shown to the magistrate—it having been picked up by a cabman and given to the constable, who took the prisoner into custody—Herring, 60 C. Mr. Mansfield—Complainant, did the knife touch you ? Complainant—lt did not, but had I not stepped back it would. I have to complain also of the prisoner getting me out of my situation through his misrepresentation. Mr. Mansfield—For that, if you have suffered any da mage, you must go to the County Court. J shall order the prisoner to enter into his own recognisance in the sum of £lOO, and to find two sureties in £5O each to keep the peace for six mcnths, especially to the complainant. A " MRS. GAMP."—Mrs. Williamson, an old and very dissipated monthly nurse, who has been at this court an immense number of times charged with drunkenness, &c., was again charged with being drunk and disorderly. Harris, 304 A, deposed to seeing the defendant the pre vious night shouting out at the top of her voice that she was about to bring an action against the reporter at this court for daring to state that she had been in custody 400 times for being drunk. She had a large crowd round her, and was very drunk, so he took her to the station. Mr Mansfield—How many times has she really been in custody ? The Chief Clerk—l should say above 200 times certainly. Mr. Mansfield again sent her to her well-known place Of abode for seven days. THAMES. PLUNDERING A CARGO —Johu Delany and Joseph Craigie, labourers, were brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged, the former with stealing half a gallon of beer, the other with stealing a bottle of gin on board the ship Blen heim in the East India Dock. The Blenheim is about to take out troops to Bombay, and has been loading provisions and stores for them in the East India Dock for several days. Upwards of 150 men have been employed in stowing away cargo, including large quantities of bottled ale and beer, spirits, and wine, and also barrels of beer and stout for the use of the officers and men on the voyage. The plunder on board has been very large, and would have been much greater if a sharp look-out had not been kept. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Robert Espies. the manager and ship's husband, met the prisoner Delany on deck with a bucket containing a half gallon of beer which he had taken from a cask in the temporary absence of the prosecutor. The cask had been pierced and a portion of the contents abstracted. The prisoner, on being asked to ex plain his conduct, said he found the beer in the cask, and was carrying it away. He now coolly said to the magis trate " that he took a little beer and meant to conceal it and drink it when he was dry ; sure, that was all he meant to do wid it." The other prisoner Craigie, a youth, was detected leaving the ship with a bottle of Old Tom in his possession. There were 200 cases of gin on board, containing one, two, or three dozen bottles in each case. The prisoner said he got the bottle of gin between decks of the Blenheim, and asked the magistrate to be lenient with him, for he sup ported an aged mother. Mr. Woolrych said he had disposed of many similar cases since he had been a magistrate, and it had too fre quently happened that labourers employed among wine, spirits, and beer, gave way to plunder. He sentenced Delany to 21 days' imprisonment and hard labour, and Craigie to eight days' imprisonment and hard labour, for unlawful possession of the beer and gin. MARKETS--This Day. MARK LANE. Fresh up at this morning's market, the receipts of Eng lish wheat were on a limited scale. Both red and white qualities met a steady sale, and Monday's currency was well supported. With foreign wheat, the market was extensively sup plied. The demand was by no means active for any de scription, yet no change took place in prices, compared with Monday. Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, on former terms. The supply of barley was very moderate. The trade, however, ruled heavy, but without leading to any probable change in prices. Malt was dull at late rates. The supply of oats on offer was moderately large. All descriptions met a slow sale, at about previous rates. Beans and peas were dull, and prices were barely sup ported. The supplies on offer were very moderato. Flour changed hands slowly, at last Monday's currency. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat, Barley. Malt. Oats. nom.

The new boat, which is constructed on similar lines to one built by the same firm for the King of Italy a few months since, is 250 ft, in length between perpendiculars, 30ft, in breadth, and carries engines of 350 horse power. They are of sft, stroke, and their cylinders are 71in. in diameter. The paddle wheels are over 32ft. in diameter and are fitted with feathering floats. As in most boats constructed by Messrs. Penn, the engines are oscillating, and the boilers are on the tu bular system. The trip extended from 'I ilbury Fort to a little beyond Sea Reach, and the speed attained in running the measured mile was at the rate of 17 knots, or 19.6 miles an hour. As the Messaggiere starts for Genoa this morning, she had already taken on board over 180 tons of coal, be aides nearly the same amount of stores and spare gear, which caused her to draw almost a foot more water than she would have done under ordinary circumstances. With a normal load there appears to be little doubt of her run ning at a speed of 171 or even 171 knots an hour—a swift ness hardly ever yet gained by the fastest of the many fast boats launched from Messrs. Penn's yard. The company on board included Lord R. Grosvenor, the Marquis D'Azeglio, the Chevalier D'Albidi, Captain Achmet Bey, M. Souschoff, Captain Armitage, Messrs. Appold, Nasmyth, Crampton, Glaisher, and many other gentlemen known in the engineering and scientific world. The Messaggiere re turned to Blackwell pier about 6 o'clock, and Mr. Penn's private yacht Engineer carried her passengers back to town. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS.—This Day. The SPEAKER took the chair at half-past 12 o'clock, the required number of 40 members not being secured before that time. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Morayshire Railway and Putney and Fulham New Bridge and Pier Bills were read a third time. On the motion of Mr. MASSEY, it was agreed to that 'standing orders 197 and 227 be suspended for the remainder of the session. That, as regards private bills already re turned by the House of Lords with amendments, such amendments be considered tomorrow. That when it is intended to impose any amendments thereto, a copy of such amendments shall be deposited in the Private Bill Office, and notice thereof given this day. That, as regards private bills to be returned by the House of Lords with amendments, such amendments be considered on the next sitting of the house after the day on which the bill shall have been returned from the Lords, That when it is in tended to propose any amendments thereto, a copy of such amendments shall be deposited in the 'Private Bill Office, and notice thereof given on the day on which the bill shall have been returned from the Lords. CULTIVATION OF COTTON IN AUSTRALIA. Mr. BAZ LEY presented a petition from Manchester, to which 40,000 signatures were attached, praying the house to promote colonisation to Australis, and the cultivation of cotton in that colony. THE DEATH OF A "FEMALE BLONDIN" AT BIRMINGHAM. ➢ir. DOULTON gave notice that he should to-morrow ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the owners of licensed places of public entertain ment were responsible for the safety of life and limb of per sons undertaking to perform dangerous feats ; and if not, whether he would under take to introduce a bill next session to amend the law, enabling the police or other local autho rities to compel the adoption, in every case, of steps which would prevent a recurrence of so shocking an accident as that which had occurred at Birmingham, by which a woman had lost her life. _ _ NON , REMOVAL OF CONVICTS—BERKSHIRE , Mr. WALTER said some time since a batch of prisoners were sentenced to penal servitude at the Berkshire assizes, and had been detained in Reading gaol until within the last few weeks, instead of having been removed, in the ordinary way, to the Government gaols. Parliament annually voted a large sum of money for the maintenance of these prisoners. Owing to the long period the convicts specified had been left in the Reading gaol, considerable cost had been thrown upon the ratepayers. In consequence of this a charge of £2OO was made upon the Home-office, which was referred to the Treasury, which replied there was no precedent for making such a payment, and refused to accede to it. He desired to learn from the right hon. baronet the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether, in cases of this kind, counties were not entitled to compensation P Sir G. GREY replied that it was the practice of the Go vernment to remove prisoners from the county to the Go vernment prisons as quickly as possible, but this, of course, depended upon there being room in those prisons for their reception. Unfortunately, in consequence of the increase of crime, it had been found very difficult to find room for all the prisoners, and he regretted that in consequence serious inconvenience had been caused to some of the county gaols. .It had been considered by the Government whether, when prisoners were detained an unusnally long time in the county gaol s, a earn of 4s. per weeket been oug done. htno not .xtodbdeitpioanidalfoerelelasch. had been Not st h o in o g n ,h r o u w e teevdcr had y in the Government gaols, and he could only hope that the inconvenience com plained of would not occur again. ROMAN CATHOLIC REFORMATORY, LEICES- TERSIIIRE. In reply to Mr. CAVE, Sir G. ci REY said he was sorry that the reports of the inspector had been of the most unsatisfactory kind, and he had recently instructed him to intimate to the managers unless an amendment took place the eertificato would be revoked. Since then he had been informed by the inspec tor that the institution had been placed under new manage ment, and that a great improvement had taken place. Far ther, he had instructed the inspector to pay an early visit to the institution and to report thereon. STATUTE LAW REVISION BILL. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, on moving that the home go into committee, briefly explained its nature. It was based upon the labours of two commissions which had respectively cost the country £37,000 and £21,000, and had been contemplated for a length of time by the Government. Such a measure was imperatively necessary, and would, in his opinion and that of the Government, ivoik exceedingly well. Sir F. KELLY stated several objections which he enter tained to the bill, and expressed his ,regret that it was not framed upon the recommendation of the Statute Law Com mission. (LEFT SITTING.)

On 17s. mid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is nearly 3-10tha per oent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark and the short exchange on London is 13.5 f per £1 sterling. - Aandard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg, The course of exchange at New York on London in still in a very gue;uating state, the latest quotation of the exchange being about 144 per cent., and the premium on gold is about 31i per cent.

Perhaps, suggests the Saturday Review, the " but" might be appropriately replaced by "because." At least, no wife is perfect who cannot be a severe critic upon occasion. CGST OF CIVIC JUSTlCE.—Leadenhall yielded an income amounting to £28,242, the costs of management amounted to £9,6B9—Newgate-market pro auced a total revenue of £13,561, the expenses were £8,219 —Farringdon produced £9,789, and cost £11,085, which is a very bad case indeed—Smithfield produced in dues £18,147, and by tolls, £4,214—a total of £22,361 — the expenses of management were £12,993. Billingsgate contributed to the exchequer £50,018, and cost in ordinary expenditure £23,857. There are two other charges on Billingsgate—namely, £126 for deepening the river, and £BOB law charges on metage of oysters. Street tolls were prolific of income once upon a time, but as in 1854 they were discontinued, there are but two entries under this head. In 1853 and 1854 the produce of street tolls was £11,620, but there is no entry of expenses, and we must suppose that they have crept into some mixture of inci dentals and casuals. The various duties on coal, corn, and fruit brought in £777,030, and the expenses of collecting amounted to £143,728. —City Press, THE CARGO OF THE PETERHOFF.—The special commissioners appointed by the United States District Court to examine and make a true and perfect in ventory of the cargo of the steamer Peterhoff, report that a very large portion of the said cargo will be found, on an examination of the inventory, to be particularly adapted to army uses ; that large numbers of cases contain "Blucher boots," which are known as army shoes ; a number of cases contain cavalry boots, and are so labelled ; that one hun dred and ninety-two bales of the cargo consist of gray blankets adapted to the use of the army, and are believed to be such as are used in the United States army ; ninety five casks contain horse shoes of a large size ; thirty-six cases of a large size contain artillery harness in sets for four horses, with two riding saddles attached to each set; there were also on board two hydraulic presses adapted to cotton; that a considerable portion of said cargo consists of drugs directed " Burehard. and Co., Successors, Matamoras, Mexico, in which an assorted lot of drugs—quinine, calomel, morph'ne, and chloroform—form an important portion. The fair of Saint-Benoit (Eure), just bald, was marked by considerable animation in business. Young horses from Picardy and La Perche were sold, the former at from 800 fr. to 900 fr., and the latter at from 400 fr. to 700 fr. Little business was done in sheep and cows, but 3,560 fleeces were sold at from 2fr, 10c. to 2fr. 50c. the kilo. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, WINCHESTER RACES.-TUESDAY. A Handicap Plate of 60 sous.

THAMES NATIONAL REGATTA. This regatta came off yesterday, under the auspices of the Thames Subscription Club, and, in point of interest, was in no respect behind any of its predecessors. The prominent feature in the day's proceedings was the unpre cedented fact of an Australian having entered to compete against some of our best oarsmen and scullers—Green, the late aspirant for the Championship, proving himself a man of lac) ordinary merit over the shortened metropolitan course. Kelley, the ex-champion, also showed on this occasion ; while the presence of the North-countrymen, both in the fours and pairs, gave a more than ordinary amount of in terest to the regatta. The first race set on the card was the PAIR OARS. Open to the world. Prizes . • £2O, £lO, and £5. T. Hoare and T, Wise, Hammersm 'l7 T. Mackinney and J. Glover, Richmond 1 J. Taylor and Si. Taylor, Newcastle 2 0 Henry Kelley, the ex• champion, and Green ' the us tralian, were entered for this, and appeared at th e sta A rn g post, but as they go t off a steamboat (the Victoria) leaving the pier came down up on them, and t he boat's head mg was cut off, the pair lay in g hold on the steamboat chai ns. As they were the favourites, great disappointment was mani fested, and they were allowed to row in the grand heat. Upon the word to go being given again, the Taylors got off with a decided heat, which they held to the London Boat House. Here, after a good race between Hammersmith and Richmond, the former came to the front, and passed the Taylors (who rowed too close inshore at the point, and went out of the race), and were never headed, winning by three lengths. Second Heat. George Hammerton and J. W. Tagg, Kingston and 1 Moulsey A. Thompson and M. Scott, Newcast le .......... W. Bell and J. M'Kinney, Richmond Hammerton and partner, with the worst station, took a lead of a few feet at the start ; this they increased at the pier, when the Newcastle man came up, and after a ding dong race for some distance ('he Richmond pair leaving off rowing at the Point), Hammerton and Tagg left their opponents, and increasing their lead as they proceeded won by 200 yards.
