Last week there were 1,364 deaths in London. The report for the week that ended on the 11th iust. showed an increase of 100 deaths over those of the previous 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 weeks (viz,, a week in each of the years 1853-62) is fouad, with a correction for increase of population, to be 1,223 ; and the actual number of deaths is therefore in excess of the esti mated number by 141. The increase in the mortality is caused chiefly by diarrhea, the deaths from which rose from 47 and 91 in toe two previ ous wee k s to 14 8 l ast wee k . B es i des the deaths ferred to "diarrhea," there were also 16 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 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. The mortality of the disease g iv en not muc h indication of decline ; it is satisfactory, how ever, to k now that it does not increase. Ten of the 51 deaths occurred in the Small-pox Hospital. e On July 7, in St . M artin's Workhouse, a man who had h n ‘o,et for merly a b e d stead -maker, aged 62 years, died from e I: want of common necessaries; found in the street in an usted state, and died in four days."—lnquest. Two deaths in the week are referred to intemperance, besides 6 to "delirium tremens." A woman di ed 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 rosPonding weeks of the (corrected) was 1,803. years 1853-62 the average number TH E L, _,RD DUNDREARY OF MR.

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 no 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, Hammersmth T. Mackinney and J. Glover, Richmond • • 2 J. Taylor and M. Taylor, Newcastle 0 Henry Kelley, the ex. champion, and Green, the Aus tralian, were entered for this, and appeared at the starting post, but as they got off a steamboat (the Victoria) leaving the pier came down upon them, and the boat's head was cut ( ff, the pair laying hold on the steamboat chains. 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 Moulsey A. Thompson and M. Scott, Newcastle W. Bell and J.,WKinney, Richmond 0 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 (ihe 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.

ATTEMPT TO STAB —A DESPERATE FELLOW. —Joseph Grande, cook at the Hotel de 1' 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 " Rollos, 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. 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 months, 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 nigLt 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. Mansfie!d 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 has 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 tnlawful 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 pious, 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. lion,.

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 plain 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 alweys re spected. Hence these pleasant morning lounges have con tinued uninterruptedly. The Maharajah Daleep Singh, 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 tribl of a new despatch steamer or aveso lately built by Messrs. Money Wigram and Penn, for the Italian Go.. vernment, took place on Monday. The new boat, which is constructed ou 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 6ft. stroke, and their cylinders are 71in. in diameter. The paddle wheels are over 321 t. 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 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 17/ or even 17/ 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, Nam yth, Crampton, Glaisner, 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.

Lonsdale went slightly ahead, and se continued to Craven, when the Prince went up, but were again left astern. Again and again they went up, but their opponents went away, and at the Soap Works the Prince came up very fast, and after a fine contest to the bridge went ahead. At the Doves they took their opponents' water, and ultimately won by a length. WATERMEN'S APPRENTICES (Outrigged Boats). Coat, Badge, Freedom, and £2; £5; £3; Randolph Cook, Wandsworth H.

Wise was half a length behind. Final Heat. Randolph Cook, Wandsworth H. Stratford, Lambeth F. Kilsby, Lambeth S. Callas, Richmond Coek took the lead, and kept it all the way, winning easily. Stratford and Kilsby rowed level some distance, when the latter way. CHAMPION Foun OARS. Final Heat. Prince of Wales Crew—H. Cole, S. Wise, G. Drewitt, T. Royal, T.

The prizes were presented on board the committee barge, the Maria Wood, by Mr. R. N. Phillips, LL.D. A LONDON STREET.—III the evidence taken before the Select Committee on the London City Traffic Regulation Bill a curious account is given of St. Swithin's lane, which leads from near the entrance of Lombard-street to Cannon-street. 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 ; on the Ist of July the return was substantially the same; on the 30th of June the street was closed for only eight hours and ten minutes, and open for one hour and 50 minutes. Two years hence there will be a g great rail way station near the Cannon-street end Of this thorough fare."

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. ➢lr. 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 ? 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 ceased 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 sum 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. CATHOLIC REFORMATORY, LEICESTERSHIRE. In reply to Mr. CAVE, Sir G. GREY said he was sorry that the reports of the inspector had been of the most unsatisfactory kind, and he toad recently instructed him to intimate to the managers unless an amendment t)ok place the certificate 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. Fur 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 houae 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, work 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 Corn mission,which had been disregarded and departed from. But nevertheless it was a good and important measure. Unless, however, they accompanied expurgation by consolidation they would do little good; indeed, this was the only way to destroy anomalies. He earnestly pressed upon the Go vernment to adopt his suggestion, and so make this great and excellent work, as far as it went, thoroughly praetical. He hoped the bill would be followed by other remedial measures. Mr. HENNESSY contended that a bill of this important kind ought only to be introduced in a committee of the whole house, and as from its voluminous nature there was no time to consider it this session, he moved that the house go into committee this day week. Mr. J. B. SMITH seconded the motion. Sir H. CAIRNS strongly supported the bill. When the proposed scheme in its entirety was carried out, the 43 schemes which contained the operative statutes would be compressed into about eight. Mr. HENLEY said the bill had only been printed nine days, which, looking to its voluminousness, was t o t a ll y inadequate for its proper consideration by that house, and therefore he advocated its postponement until next session. Accuracy was of greater consequence than speed. Mr. CLAY appealed to the hon. and learned member for Queen's County to permit the house to go into committee. Let not the house earn the character of being glad to adopt law reforms. Mr. AYRTON had carefully examined the bill and round it exceedingly defective as a compendious revision of :he existing statutes. Hence he should support the motion For dela,. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL replied. The opposi tion to the bill was conceived under a misapprehensio n which, on account of the voluminousness of the subject, was very difficult to dissipate. It was impossible to avoid taking a good deal upon trust. No good would arise from deferring the bill to the next session, because they could only go over the same ground, and again arrive at :the same result, namely, that the bill before the house, or a similar one, wa s i m p era ti ve ly required for the consideration of the law. reference to Mr. HENNESSY withdrew his am endment. The SPEAKER explained that b ills having religion and trade must be origin ated in committees of th e whole house; it was not so, however, with bills that ca me down to that house from the Rouse of Lords. The house then went into committee. Mr. HENNESSY mo ved that the Chairman report pro gress. The question was put and negatived. On the motion that the preamble be agreed to, Mr. HENNESSY moved that it be postponed. In sup port of this he c i te d the 15th Charles 11., c. 11 , w hi ch the bill said the Commissioners of Inland Revenue should be regarded as repealed. The bill empowered penalties and d ou ble costs o n commissioners g ivin g improper judgments to the injury of havers and publicans. Such a summary mode of proceeding as this was exceedingly objectionable. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL explained that this act had been dealt with in past consolidations. The clauses were agreed to after a short discussion. On the schedule Mr. HENNESSY moved that all the words affecting MagnaChart:r be omitted. The bells were rung for a division, but on the question being put the schedule was adopted in its integrity. The other schedules were agreed to. The bill then passed through committee, and was ordered fur third reading to-morrow. BRITISH COLUMBIA BOUNDARIES BILL. This bill was read a second time.

For some months pasta Royal Commission has been inquiring into the alleged defects of the Royal Academy. The Commissioners were Earl Stanhope, Lords Hardinge and Eicho, Sir Francis Head, and Messrs. Denby Seymour, William Stirling, and Henry Reeve. And they now advise the Crown so far to alter the constitution of the artistic body as to enlarge the number of members, and to introduce lay members into it. They say the number 40 should be raised to 60; ten of the new members being non-professional—that is, non-artistic ; their function being to represent the public at the Council board in Trafalgar-square, and to represent the Academy in Parliament, in the press, and elsewhere. In the second place, they recommend that the number of Associates of the Royal Academy should be raised from 20 to 50. They propose to give to these 50 Associates a share in the general govern ment of the Academy : a change about which we should think there can be no serious dispute. They would have the President really elected by the whole body of artists, not nominated by the Crown, as at present, under a pretence of election by the 40. Following the pattern of Belgium and other coun tries, they suggest that there should be an Asso ciate class in connection with the Academy, to in clude distinguished painters and sculptors of foreign nations. They would also provide a class into which designers, carvers, seal-engravers, and other art workmen might be brought. The Commissioners propose to increase the Presi dent's salary by a large sum—to make him a sort of artistic Lord Mayor. The Price of Gold. The quotation of gold at Paris is about a per mille pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.25 per 41 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of 43 17s. 10ad. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is nearly 3-10ths per cent. 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 13.4 per £1 sterling. standard 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 ♦4ry gucluating state, the latest quotation of the exchange being about 144 per cent., and the premium on gold is about 31} percent. Some gold has been received by the lastpackets. "BUT" OR "BECAUSE P"—Mr, Disraeli dedicated Sybil" to " the most severe of critics, but—a perfect wife." 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 duced a total revenue of £13,561, the expenses were £B,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 exp9nditure £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 Tress, 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 cased contain " Blucher boots,t' which are known as army s h oes _ ; 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 sh oes of a large s i ze ; 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 co ns id erable portion of sai cargo consists of drugs directed '' Burchard and Co. , Successors , Matamoras, Mexico, in whi c h an assorted lot of drugs—quinine, calomel, morphine, and chloroform—form all important portion. IRLS.—About two o'clock yesterday morning a fire broke out in one of the newly-erected and un finished houses situate at No. 118, Belgrave-road, Pimlico. The building was four stories high, and contained 15 largo room, each filled with fittings for several other houses. The firemen were soon on the spot, but the flames could not be extinguished until the building and its costly stock of materials were all but destroyed. The building was insured in the London Fire-office,but the contents were un• insured. About two hours later another fire happened in the pre mises belonging to Mr. D. K. Mawes, an upholsterer, carrying on business at No. 9, Victoria-road, Pimlico. The firemen were unable to get the mastery over the fearful element until the show rocms on the the first floor were very severely damaged. The building was insured in London. CURIOUS EIAMFLE OF THE VORACITY OF A PIKE.—One of the most remarkable of these bceurred during the last few years to Mr. L—, of Chippenham, Wiltshire. This gentleman had set a trimmer in the River Avon over night, and on proceeding the next morning to take it up, ho found a heavy pike apparently fast upon his hooks. In order to extract these he was obliged to open the fish, and in doing so perceived another pike of consider able size inside the first, from the mouth of which the line proceeded. This fish it was also found necessary to open, when, extraordinary to state, a third pike, of about sib. weight, and already partly digested, was discovered in the stomach of the second. This last fish was, of course, the original taker of the bait, having been subsequently pouched by a later corner, to be, in its turn, also afterwards seized and gorged.—Cltolmondeky Pennell'. "Angler-Naturalist." THE SESSION AND THE PARLIAMENT.—It is said that the session will close on the 28th inst., remarks the Law Tithes. It will be at once the shortest and most unproductive of any that has been held since the Reform Act. There aro whispers about that it is to be the last of the present Parliament, and this is by no means improbable. An excuse would have been gladly seized for a dissolution ere now, but the Opposition has cleverly refused to provide one, while the state of her Majesty's health forbade a merely experimental appeal to t he countr y . But the soli citors should make ready for the fight, which may come at any time ; the present registration will demand their specie attention, for it is certain to provide the constituencies for the next geaeral election, 27 29 662 7 1132 1 78 118 1 551 5 1:3 90 1 i 120 92} 2 71 } I
