Ii:EALTIOF O;7m (From the .Registrar-General's Weekly Ret urn.) Last week th ere were 1,361 deaths in London.

The averag e num b er of deaths in ten corr esponding weeks (viz., a week in each of the years 1853-62) is found, with a correction fo r i ncrease of population, to be 1,223 ; and she mated numbe r o f deaths is therefore in excess of the mated number b y 141, esti- The increase in the mortality is caused chy by diarrhoea, th e d eaths from which rose from 47 at ie d fl 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 142 occurr e d to infants under both h ea d s under to years of age. Eleven deaths from di arrhea in the wes t sub-district of Islington, where there were also 9 from scarlatina. Small-pox was returned in 61 cases, 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. gives not The mortality o f th e disease much indication of decline ; it is satisfactory, however, to know that it does not increase. Ten of the 61 deaths occurred in the Small-pox Rospital. On July 7, in St. Martin's Workhouse, a man who had Ibsen formerly a bedstead -maker. aged 62 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.

HOSPITALS IN TIISCANY.—A Florentine p aw _ clan, Count Angioli Galli, has recently died, and left all his property, amounting to about four millions of francs, to the hospitals of Tuscany. The Prinoe of Torlonia—head of the well known Roman banking firm—has lately withdrawn his name from business operations.

CULTIVATION OF COT lON IN AUSTRALIA. Mr. BAZLEY presented a petition from Manchester, to which 40,000 signatures were attached, praying the house to promote colonisation to Australia, and the cultivation of cotton in that colony. THE DEATH OF A "FEMALE BLONDIN" AT BIRMINGHAM. Mr. 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 undertake 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 sentenc9d 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? 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. Unfortanately, 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 cattsed to some of the county gaols. It had been considered by the Government whether, when prisoners were detained an unusually long time in the county gaols, a aim of 4s. per week ought not to be paid for each. Nothing, however, had yet been done. Additional cells had been constructed in the Government gaols, and he could only hope that the inconvenience com plained of would not occur again. ROMAN CATHOLIC REFORMATORY, LEICES. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ATTEMPT TO STAB—A DESPERATE FELLOW. —Joseph Grande, cook at the Hotel de l'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 he 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 conse 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, hut had I net 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. I 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 menthe, especially to the complainant. A " MRS. GAMP."—Mrs , Williamson, an old and very dissipated monthly nurse, who has been at this court en 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 —John 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 hat been very large, and would have been much greater if a sharp look-out had not been kept. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Robert Eades. 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 Latices, 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 moderate. Flour changed hands slowly, at last Monday's currency. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. non/.

So, at least, it is stated in the Court Journal, which adds—Her Royal Highness, attended by the Hon. Mrs. Bruce, has driven up to Kensington-gardens in a plaice brougham, and taken a seat on a bench commanding a view of the ride. The incognita of the Princess was hardly ever discovered, and by the few who did recognise her it was always re spected. Hence these pleasant morning lounges have con tinued uninterruptedly. The Maharajah Duleep Singb, already the owner of an estate in Gloucestershire, has purchased another called the Elden Hall Estate, near Thetford, for £102,000. TRIAL TRIP OF THE MESSAGGIERE.—A trial trip of a new despatch steamer or aviso lately built by Messrs. Money Wigram and Penn, for the Italian Go vernment, took place on Monday. 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 oft. 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 'Tilbury 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 sides 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 174 or even 17f 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, Glaistier, 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.

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 R EVISION BILL. _ The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, on moving that the house go into committee, briefly explained its nature. It was based upon the labours of tWO commissions which had respectively cost the country £37,0 00 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, wink exceedingly well. Sir F. KELLY stated several objections which he enter• twined to the bill, and expressed his regret that it was no framed upon the recommendation of the Statute Law Coin mission. (LEFT SITTING.) The Price of Gold. The quotation of gold at Paris is about 4 per mille pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.25 per £1 sterling. on comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. iod. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is nearly 3-10 the 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 g per £1 sterling. trandard 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 beingevi n e very about y f nc.ulaotinpgersteaetnet,.t,haeuldatrehset prquotationemium on gold is about of the exchange 31i percent. Some gold has been received by the last packets.

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. COST OF CIVIC :JUSTlCE.—Leadenhall yielded an income amounting to £28,242, the costs of management amounted to £9,6B9—Newgate-market pro duced a total revenue of £13,561, the expenses were £3,2l9—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 largo 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 " Burchard and Co., Successors, Matamoros, Mexico, in which an assorted lot of drugs—quinine, calomel, morphine, and chloroform—form an important portion. The fair of Saint-Benoit (Eure), just held, 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. 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 so ordinary merit over the shortened metropolitancourse. 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. Pr:zes : £2O, £lO, and £5. T, Hoare and T, Wise, Hammersmth T. Mackinney and J. Glover, Richmond 1 J. Taylor and M.

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.

It is constantly found blocked up, so far as the passage of vehicles is concerned, in consequence of vans and carts loading or unloading at the premises of an eminent firm of wholesale grocers, that the police were in structed to keep a record for three successive days, and this was the result : On the 29th of June last, in the ten hours between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m., the street was blocked up for eight hours and 25 minutes, and open for only one hour and 35 minutes ; o n th e I s t o f July the return was substantially the same; on the 30th of June the street was closed only eight hours and ten minutes, and open for one hour and 50 minut es . Two years hence there will be a g reat rail way station near the Cannon-street end of this " thorough- fare." We (Dublin Evening Mail) understand that the late Duke of Hamilton insured his life for the large sum of £lOO,OOO about a week before he lately left this country for Paris. The chief part of the loss will fall upon the Scot tish offices. FIELD-MARSHAL LORD CLYDE.—We have very great pleasure in announcing that Lord Clyde was slightly better yesterday, and, although not yet out of danger, will, w e trust, recover from almost the first attack his robust constitution has had to sustain. Lord Clyde is staying at Chatham with his friend General Eyre, and has the advantage of the best medical skill in the garrison. SECOND EDITIO N. SUN OFFICE, HALF-PAST 4 O'CLOCK.
