At the Court, Basinghall-street. THE HEALTH OF LONDON. (From the weekly return of the Registrar-General.) It is satisfactory to observe that the public health, as compared with that of former periods, is in a favourable state. Last week the mortality in London continued to decline, and the deaths were only 938; showing a decrease of 19 on those of the former week, and of 159 on those of the weekly average of last January. In the corresponding weeks of 10 previous years (1840-9) the average was 1,041 4 , which, if cor rected for increased populat;on, becomes 1,136 ; the present decrease of mortality, as compared with former years, is therefore 198. In the epidemic or zymotic class of diseases the deaths last week were 144 ' • in the corresponding weeks of the years 1840 9 theyfluctilated between 129 and 333; the corrected ave rage is 209. From phthisis (or consumption) the deaths last week were 113 ; at the same period of pre vious years they ranged from 115 to 170. From other diseases that affect the respiratory organs (exclusive of hooping cough) the deaths were 199 ; in previous years, at this time, they ranged from 115 to 330. To take particular diseases :—smallpox was fatal to 6 persons, less than one-third of its former mortality ; scarlatina to 13, while the average is 34 ; hooping cough to 31, the average being 46 ; typhus to 29, the average being 36. The deaths from measles were 91, a mortality which is about the usual amount. From asthma and bronchitis there were 110 deaths, the average is 100 ; from pneumonia there were 76, whilst 96 forms the average. Diarrhoea was fatal to 18 persons, which exceeds the average by 7, though the number who died of this complaint in the same week of last ye ar was 27. The wife of a journeyman larnprnaker, eiged 60, died in St. John the Evangelist's, Westminster, of debility, which was the result of an attack of Asiatic cholera six months before. Four nonagenarians died during the week, of whom three were women ; one man died in the Goswell-street sub-district, at the advanced age of 99 years. The mean height of the barometer at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, during the week 29 754 in. The mean temperature was 49 deg. 8 min., and exceeded the average of the same week in seven years by 6 deg. 9 min. ; on Sunday it was 9 deg., and on Friday 14 d'sg. 9 min. above the ave rage. Oa Wednesday, when the mean temperature was 35 deg. 1 min., it was sliightly below the average of that day. The following extracts are made from the regis trars' reports : "At the Potteries, liensinzton, a boy, a month old, son of a journeyman baker, died of ' convulsions. The locality (says Mr. Gorham) is extremely dirty and badly drained. "In Somers-town, at 3, Steven's-place, the wife of a carpenter, aged 56, died of rheumatism and disease of the heart.' Mr. Matthews states that this place is situated at the commencement of Brill-row; it is damp and very unhealthy. It consists of 12 houses, some containing two rooms, some ahree, and others four, all in front. There are no back- rooms, yards, or water closets; water is not laid on in. any of the houses, but is supplied from a pump, and there is only one privy for the whole of the inhabitants.' He registered also the death of a labourer's daughter, aged eight months, from hooping-cough (seven months), at 11, Hampton-court, which he describes as very crowded, and, in his opinion, not healthy. A child of the same family, aged three years, died of the same complaint on the 7th inst. "In Camden-torn, at 7, Thornley-place, a shoemaker, of 65 years of age, sliel of ' bronchitis' (three months' illness). Mr. Hull states that 'this is a close confined court, in a thickly popula•ed neighbourhood, and most unhealthy." " In Camden-town, at 10, Lower Edmund-street, ee son and daughter of a carman, aged respectively 5 years ' and 8 months, died on the 13th and 14th of February of small-pox (after 14 days' illness), vaccination not having been performed in either case.' The house stands in a more open part of a crowded neighbourhood, and is near the Smallpox Hospital. The children had not been vaccinated, because a death had occurred some time ago to a member of the same family on whom vaccina tion had been performed. Another child is now dan gerously ill of the same disorder. "In Islington, at 9, Adelaide-square, the daughter of a toothbrush-maker, a twin, died of ‘diarrho3s. Mr. Butterfield calls it a badly ventilated place, and a square only in name.' "In St. Clement Danes. at 9, Little Shire-lane, the wife of a shoemaker, of 48 years, died of bronchitis' (many years). This is stated by Mr. Jones to be a close densely-peopled and dirty neighbourhood.' in the same sub-district, at 5, Yeats-court, the daughter of a bricklayer deceased, of 3 yearn old, died of fever after a month's illness.' Mr. Jones adds that 'this court, which adjoins the worst part of St. Clement's-lane, is very unhealthy; the houses are very close, and contain six or seven rooms each, with a family of four or five persons in,each room. Here fever and diarrhoea (as cholera was last year) are nearly always present in one or other of the tenements. The drains smell dread hlly.' "In Hackney-road, Bethnal-green, at 16, Colling wood-street, the daughter of as cordwainer, aged five years, died of water on the brain (three weeks), con vulsions (three days).' The houses (says:Mr. Murray) are remarkably crowded, the custom being to let, not by tenements, but by rooms.' Also, at 7, Virginia-row, the wife of a cordwainer, aged 59 years, died of paralysis (24 hours).' The houses are capacious and are built on the French model, in flats, with common staircases. The street is crowded and ill-cleansed. C. Weth erilt, Down-street, Piccadilly, ironmonger, March 12, at eleven—H. Good, Bishopsgate-street Without, ists tioner. March 14. at one—A.

DUNCES OF DOWNING-STREET.—Ministers are at a loss what to do with the Ten Hours Factory Bill, which owing to a defect in its wording, proves inoperative For the present they had better send it to the dead let ter office. Really Parliament must have an edit)r to prepare its Acts for publication. His salary would cost the country but little, as a gentleman of moderate lite rary attainments would be competent to the employ ment. He would only be required to possess the ability , to write the English language correctly, an art, appa rently, beyond the reach of statesmanship. To create such an office would be giving acme little encouragement to the profession of the pen. What but faulty compo sition can be expected from a Government that neglects literature.—Punch.

THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. We have received files of papers from the Cape to the 22d of December. The following official correspondence had been published, which by no means satisfied the colonists, whose position towards the local Government remains unaltered:— " GOVERNMENT NOTICE. " Colonial-office, Cape of Good Hope, Dec. 12, 1,849. "His Excellency the Governor directs it to be notified that he has this day received a private letter from Earl Grey, of the 3d October, acknowleding the receipt of all his Excellency's communications regarding the convict question up to the 2d of August ; a n d informing him that be will receive final instructions in regard to the convicts on board the Neptune, so soon as his Lordship shall be apprised of the arrival of that ship at the Cape of Good Hope. " By command of his Excellency the Governor. (Signed) "J. MONTAGU, Secretary to Government." Shortly after the publication of the above in the Gazette, the following notice appeared in an Extra, acknowledging the receipt by Earl Grey of his Ex cellency's dispatch of the 24th May, which is equally unsatisfactory and calculated to convince the most incredulous that it is extremely absurd to expect jus tice from the hands of the Colonial Minister : " GOTERNMENT NOTICE. " Colonial-office, 13th Dec., 1849. " His Excellency the Governor directs the publica tion, for general information, of the following dispatch, dated the sth September, from Earl Grey, being a reply to his Excellency's dispatch of the 24th May to his Lordship upon the convict question. His Excellency desires it to be notified, that he received this dispatch by the;Victory late last evening, after the receipt by him of Earl Grey's private letter per Devonshire, alluded to in the Government Notice in this day's Gazette.—By his Excellency's command. (Signed) "J. MONTAGU, Secretary to Government.' [nom] (No. 302.) " Downing-street, Sept. 5, 1849. " Sir.—l have to acknowledge the receipt of your dis patch, No. 49, of 24th May last, on the subject of the exiles, with tickets of leave, recently sent to the Cape of Good Hope. " I have already in my dispatches enumerated in the margin (19th March, No. 288; 23d March, No. 293; 18th April, No. 302; 21st June, No. 342; 2d July, No. 346; 18th July, No. 349) explained the grounds on which her Majesty's Government adopted this oourse; and I also informed you that it was not our intention to send any more convicts to the Cape. It is not, therefore, necessary on the present occasion to ad vert further to the subject, except to express my hope, that on becoming acquainted with the latter determina tion, the colonists would be relieved from the apprehen sions which had been excited.—l am, Sir, &c., &c., (Signed) "GAM." "Lieutenant-General Sir 11, G. W. Smith," COLLISION AT SEA.—A collision of a most alarm ing character, involving the loss of two valuable vessels, was reported on Monday at Lloyds, as having occurred • i the night of Friday last, the circumstances of which render it remarkable that the loss of lif,3 was not greater. P.th vessels were English traders—one the Floridian, a large barque, 300 tons burden, belonging to Newcastle, the other was a brigantine, the Helen, belonging to Dumfries, from Lisbon, bound to Leith, both heavily laden. It was between 11 and 12 o'clock when the acci dent happened, the spot lat. 47,58, lon. 8, west. There was a heavy sea running, the wind was N.W. by N. in violent squalls, and the night exceedingly dark. The Floridian was under close-reefed topsails, as was also the case with the Helen, and both, it is asserted, had " a good look out," yet it appears neither of the vessels was seen until the very moment they came in contest'. The farce they came together was truly tremendous. The Helen foundered almost instantly after, her crew having barely time to clamber away from the wreck into the Floridian, which seemed in the same condition. Her hull was cut down to the water's edge, and it was not expected she could outlive the night. One of the Helen's crow perished in attempting to gain the Floridian. By incessant work at the pumps both crews managed to keep the vessel from sinking, but still the water gained in the hold, and it became evident that there was no chance of saving her, and that in a few hours she would follow the fate of the Helen. Very fortunately on the morning of the 16th her perilous situation was observed by the schooner Victoria, which bore down to her aid, and the master succeeded in taking off the wreck the crews of both vessels. The Floridian disappeared under water in the course of an hour after. Their lois and cargo is calculated at upwards of 17,0001. A DV ERTISEMENT.]—CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.— Messrs.

His Lordship, with Sir Baldwin Walker, then went to the west end of the yard, and went on board the Minx steam-vessel, in the inner basin, where they re mained about twenty minutes, examining very minutely the operation and properties of the disc engine still on board that vessel. A small model of the engine enabled the chief engineer to show the internal movements, and clearly to illustrate the mode in which the steam performed its duties so effectually in a small compass, and with a comparatively mode rate consumption of fuel. The Megmra steam-vessel, in King William IV.'s Dock was next visited. She is in a forward state, and has had her iron bottom coated with the protecting compositions. The re mainder of the two hours' official visit to the dock yard was occupied in examining plans and other de tails at the office of the chief engineer. Rear-Admiral J. W. D.

The late lessee of White Conduit-house Tavern, Mr. R. Rouse, having recently become the.proprietor I_9l._thisestablishment a numerous and highly respect able body of his friends assembled last evening to celebrate the event. The festival tock place in the new and splendid room constructed on the first floor of the tavern, which is capable of accommodating two hundred persons at dinner, and is fitted up with con summate skill by Mr. Thomas Wright, the architect, under whose direction appropriate paintings, mirrors, and other decorations have been called into requisi tion, and by their combination have produced a most striking and pleasing effect. Nearly one hundred and twenty gentlemen sat down to a truly recherche dinner, which was served up in Mr. House's usual style of excellence, and gave infinite satisfaction to the company. The chair was taken by E. Huggins, Esq., of the firm of Broadwood and Co., brewers, and the vice chair was filled by William Stone, Esq., both gentle men performing the duties of their respective offices in the most effective manner. The cloth having been removed, and the usual loyal toasts having been done honour te, The CHAIRMAN proposed, in very complimentary terms, the health cf Mr. Rouse. In doing so he ad verted to the new and beautiful room in which they were then assembled, and to the very splendid dinner which had been served up to them, which could not be surpassed by any house in the metropolis.—(Hear.) Their excellent friend Mr. Rouse had removed from the Temple of Apollo, and had taken up his abode in the Belvidere, and he trusted that his new location would be all that his best friends could desire. Of this, however, he was satisfied, that if a desire to please, and a determination to make his friends and the public comfortable, by supplying them with the best of everything connected with his trade, could insure success, then they need have no fear for the future fortunes of their friend.—(Hear, bear.) He begged, therefore, to give, which he did with all sin cerity, "Mr. Rouse, and success to his new under taking."—(Applause.) Mr. Rouss said he rose with feelings of very great pleasure to acknowledge the compliment that had been conferred upon him. He could not express, as he desired, the feelings by which he was influenced at that moment, but when he saw so many friends around him, and when he witnessed the enthusiastic manner in which his name, and the hope for his future success, had been received by the company, be would not be a man if he did not feel deeply the kind and warm feelings that had been manifested towards him on that occasion. —(Hear.) Allusion had been made o.t.he mode in which he had endeavoured to cater for The coinfbitairlifs'friitidg. —Tibr. could only...ensure them that it was his intention to go on as be had com menced.—(Hear.) If he was successful in his efforts, why so much the batter for himself and his family ; but if he failed, why then all he could say was that it should not be from any fault of his.—(Hear.) In conclusion, he had only to observe that he drank their healths in a full huu3per, and wished them every happiness.—(Hear.) Mr. SHILLIBEER then proposed the health of the chairman, which that gentleman acknowledged, and said that upon all occasions he would feel most happy if he could in any way promote the success of their esteemed host. The CHAIRMAN then proposed the health of the vice chairman, who, in responding to the toast, ex pressed a hope that his friend Mr. Rouse, when be retired from the 1321videre, would do so with as good a fortune as the late proprietor, Mr. M'Diarmid, who he was happy to see present in good health. Several other toasts were drunk, and the evening was spent in the most agreeable manner, the pleasure of which was materially brightened by some exqui. site singing by 'Messrs. Holmes, Jones, ➢Mayne, and Edney,-the latter of whom presided at the pianoforte with his usual ability. Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Jory.,s, and other visitors, also contributed their vocal aid on the occasion with considerable advantage to the general satisfaction of the company, who retired evidently much pleased with the proceedings of the evening. MUTUAL LIFE ASSURANCE SO- CIETY. The half-yearly general meeting of the members of this society was held yesterday afternoon at the London Tavern, Mr. Whiskin in the chair. The minutes of the former meetings having been read and confirmed, Mr. Hardy, the secretary, read the report for the year 1849. A considerable in crease of business had taken place during the pant year, the new premiums received during the year 1848 being 2,475/. 135. ld., whilst in 1849 they amounted to 3,2271.2. 2d. A considerable sum had during the past year been added to the invested capital of the society, whilst the expenses of manage ment (with an increased business) were lower than in 1848 by the sum of 2061. The expenses charged for local boards would continue no longer, as since it had been determined to allow commission, the direc tors had deemed it proper to dissolve these boards; the society, however, had not lost any of the poli cies effected through these boards, the premiums on which amounted to 3,0001. yearly. There were 1,247 policies in force upon the 31st of December last, assuring in the aggregate 828,090/., and the premiums on these amounted to 28,2231. 9s. 4d. The balance. sheet showed a ►urplus in fa vour of the society of 74,096/. 2s. 9d., and this sum is applicable to the augmentation of the sums assured to the members under their respective poli cies. The accumulated capital of the society amounted to 146,2171. 2s, 9d., and this amount was invested in Government and other real securities. The income of the society, on dividends, mortgages, bonds, and funded property amounted to 5,9331. 7s. Bd., and the total income was 34,156/. 175., show ing an increase of about 3,000/. for the past year. The general balance-sheet debited the society with 472,4001. as the present value of 828,0901., the aggre gate sum assured, and 4,822/. for claims on policies admitted, but nut yet paid. The creditor-account gave the present value of 28,223/. 9s. 4d. income on policies as 465,161/. ; value of funded stock, 87,917/. 17s. ; mortgages, 31,0661. 13s. 4d. ; loans to members, 2,704/. ; bonds on the London and North-Western and other railways, 13,0001.; value of the society's house, 3,014/. 25. ld. ; dividend on stock and interest on premiums due on the 31st of December, 6,482/. 1 ls. 7d. ; total, 551,3781. 2s. 9d. Mr. BOLTON, a member, objected to the expenses of management as very great; and, after many ques tions, proposed an amendment recommending greater economy to the directors. The CHAIRMAN explained that the directors had done all in their power already, and had stated in the report that no effort of theirs should be wanting in future. The expenses were not so great as Mr. Belton would have it appear. The ;report was received unanimously, and Mr. Bolton's amendment negatived by an immense majo rity, end amidst some marks of disapproval. Mr. CLAYTON, a director, objected to the practice of members advertising their own views in a way cal culated to damage the society; and upon a show of hands being asked as an exhibition of disapproval of such a mode of proceeding, nearly all present com plied with the request. On the motion of Alderman SAMMONS, seconded by Mr. GROTE, Mr. R. F. Davis was elected a di rector ; and On the motion of Mr. ROUSELL, Mr. Pennythorne, the architect of the Woods and Forests, was also elected. These gentlemen were elected in the rooms of Mr. Godson, deceased, and Mr. Burchell, retired. The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks ,o the Chairman. ALARMING FIRE. Last night, between the hours of ten and eleven, a fire broke out in the Globe Tavern, situate at the corner of Drummond and Seymour-streets and nearly facing the North-Western Railway termi nus, Euston-square. It originated in the second floor front, and was discovered by a gentleman connected with the Royal Navy, who was sleeping in the room. He succeeded in getting out of bed, but so fiercely was the fire burning, and so dense was the smoke, that be was unable to get to the door. Police-constable 302 S made several atteralts to enter the room, but the smoke was of such a suffocating nature that he was forced to give up the task.

The prisoners were both taken on the premises occupied by Jones, in which a 60-gallon still was at full work, and a quantity of wash in preparation for distillation, and it was evident, from tie appearance of the place; that an extensive illicit trade was carried on.
