Tho decrease in the death rate is attributed to the healthful and invigorating atmosphere. The re port says that so light a mortality has not been experi enced in New - York in any previous week since the orga nization of the present sanitary system. In both cities the death rate was less than 18 in 1,000 per annum. l'he First and Sixth Wards of New York and the Twelfth Ward of Brooklyn are mentioned as being deficient in sanitary advantages. The 51 deaths which occurred from zymttic disease, so-called, is the smallest percentage yet recorded. The mortality of children under five years of age was only 137, or loss than 41 per cent of the total. COLONLLL GOVXIiNIIgIiT SECUILITIICIS. Barometer corrected and reduced to :2 deg. a pea lerel.

Barometrical pressure in the north-west has rhEen since yesterday, and also in the south of England. but to a less extent. In the west of Ire'and a rapid decrease has set in during the night, amounting to o'3in. at Valencia : the reading at that station is now 4in. below that at Yarmouth. The French reports have not cme in yet (elevbn o'clock). In the N. of Scotland temperature is lower, but elsewhere h weather is generally warmer. The light winds prevailing yester -4 freshened during the night on the west coast : they backed and ncreased to a gale from the B. at Roche's Point at five a.m.—it still ontinues. In the Channel the wind is very light and southerly. Fog has prevailed in the S. and E. coasts: it continues at places, and the weather is cloudy or overcast. Rain has - been general. Warnings 8. and W. coasts, Yesterday the officers of the Divisional Staff at Chatham inspected the chartered ship Warwick, which has been taken up by the Government for the conveyance of the remainder of the 71st High land Light Infantry, together with a larg e num b er of convicts from Chatham, Portsmouth, and Port land, for Gibraltar. The Warwick is expected to embark her first batch of convicts from Chatham to-morrow. The 101st Regiment and the other troops which arrived at Suez on the 10th ult. in her Majesty's Indian troopship Jumna (as announced in our columns of yesterday) will be transferrei to the Serapis ; and as the latter ship reached Alexandria on the morning of the 29th of November, the 3d Hussars and the drafts for other regiments which she conveyed from Portsmouth will probably have been transferred to the Malabar, at Suez, on that and the following days, in which case the Serapis may be expected to leave Alexandria with the 101st Regiment, Sce., this day, and to arrive at Ports mouth on or about the 18th inst. A number of shipwrights and other mechanics belonging to Deptford Dockyards, which is about being closed, have been transferred to Chatham Dockyard, and entered at that establishment. We have to announce the death on Saturday last of Lieutenant-Colonel William Bruce, KM., a Peninsular and Waterloo veteran officer. He en tered the 79th Regiment at an early age, with which he served in the Peninsular from 1812 to the end of the war in 1814. He served also the campaign of 1815, and was present at Waterloo, where ho was severely wounded. He was made a Knight of the Royal Hanoverian Guelphic Order in 1837. He left the 79th Regiment for the 48th Foot, from which he retired in November, 1841. DOGS.—Yesterday Sir Richard Mayne's order as to the muzzling of dogs in the metropolis expired, and they will now enjoy the same privilege as the dogs in the city of London. LOCOMOTIVES.—At the close of 1867 the stock of locomotives of dared by the 12 leading British railway companies was as follows:—Caledonian, 515; Great Eastern, 380; Great Northern, 468; Great Western, 842 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 455; London and North- Western, 1,443; London and South-Western, 233 ; Lon don, Brighton, and South Coast, 232 ; Manchester, Shef field, and Lincolnshire, 264 ; Midland, 623 ; North-Eastern, 851 ; and South-Eastern, 243. 'l'h3 12 companies thus owned between them 6,595 locomotives, the first cost of which, at an average of £2,50U per engine, was £16,487,500. California proposes to hold a World's Fair in 1870, and the Pacific Railroad agrees to carry passengers at half faro. LUXURIANT AND BEAUTIFUL ITAIR.—MRS. S. A.

It is rumoured at Plymouth that the paddle wheel despatch vessel Helicon, Commander El ward Field, now in the Sound, will take out Vice- Admiral Sir Sydney C. Dacres, K.C.B. (a Lord Commissioner of the Admiralty), to supersede Vice-Admiral the Right Hon. Lord Clarence E. Paget, C. 8., in command of the flagship Cale donia, 30, Capt. Alan H. Gardner, in the Mediter ranean. It is also rumoured that Admiral George Elliot will supersede Rear-Admiral F. K. Warden, C. 8., of the Minotaur, 34, Capt. James G. Goode nough. We have to announce the sudden death of Major- General Sir W. J. Ridley, on Friday night, after leaving town for Norfolk. The late General was the fourth son of Sir William, third Baronet, by his wife Laura, youngest daughter of Mr. George Hawkins. He was born in 1817, and entered the Scots Fusilier Guards as Ensign and Lieutenant in June, 1835. He subsequently obtained the rank of Lieutenant and Captain, May 24, 1839 ; Captain and Lieutenant-Colonel, November 24, 1818 ; Colonel, November 23, 1854. Ile served in the Eastern campaign of 1854. He had his horse shot at the battle of the Alma, and received the medal and clasp of the Order of the Mejidie and the Turkish medal. General Ridley, after the resigna- tiou of Sir henry Storks, was temporarily in com mand of the troops at Malta. In October, 1863, he was appointed Major-General Commanding the Ist Brigade at Malta, and after filling that office for the customary period—five years—he bad just returned home, and reported himself at the Horse Guards, before his sudden death. The deceased General is much lamented by the officers and others connected with the Scots Fusilier Guards. Vl - 1. lit 1.) z NOTICE. The Third Edition of " The Sunn of last Evening was published iu tin - I'3 for delivery in town at 7.15 p.m. SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocE. SP AIN. (By REUTERS TELEGRAMS.) MADRID, Dec. 2. A rumour was afloat yesterday evening that the Volunteers on Guird at the Hotel de Ville were to be relieved during the night by the troops of the line. Consecpiently groups of people were collected on the Puerta del tsol, and remained there until 0113 o'clock this morning. Upon the arrival on the spot of the Captain-General of Madrid, Senor Iz quierdo, and his denial of the truth of the rumour the people returned to their homes. ITALY. FLORENCE, Dec. 2. The Correspondance Italienne announces that Vie Ministry for Foreign Affairs has received satisfac tory communications relating to the projected ar rangements between Italy and the other Powers for guaranteeing the most rapid transmission pos sible for the Anglo-Italian mails via Brindisi. ROME, Dec. 1. Ajano and his three companions, whose house in the Lungaretta, at Rome, the Zonaves took by assault in the autumn of 1867, have been sen tenced to death. The prisoners have appealed to a higher court. AMERICA. NEW YORK, Dec. 2. The cavalry, under General Custar, have cap tured a Cheyenne village in the Dacotah territory, routing the savages, and killing 150 of them. Advices from Cuba state that the revolutionary Junta have issued a proclamation refusing all offers of pardon, and declaring their determination to fight for independence. QUEENSTOWN, Dec. 2. The Guion steamer Manhattan arrived here at noon to-day. She embarked passengers and pro ceeded immediately for Liverpool. All well. IW UMANIA. BUCHAREST, Dec. 2. To-day the election of the President, Vice-Pre sident, and Secretaries of the Chambers took place. John Bratiano received GG out of 81 votes as President of the Lower lions; and Nicholas Golesco was elected President of the Senate. A. Rosetti, Peter Borici, and Argeropulocind Tau were appointed Vice-Presidents. ELECTIU.V ME' FIES. We truly predicted that the election amenities in England would, when the chance offered, soon put Columbia to the blush, compelling her to ac kaowledge that she was whipped out of creation by her English cousin li.itatinia. The director of a Loadon, Chatham, and Dover Railway, or of an Overeud-Gurney discount house, turns up his eyes with horror at the proceedings in Wall-street, at a Dr,w or a Vauderbilt, till the thief himself stands convicted, and his ample cloak of respectability is stripped off. But even then he scarcely sees and feels his own villainy while the foreign one is in his eyes, a glaring fraud, and he thanks God that lie is not as these men. So with the electors. Save us, ex claims our English Tory from the disgraceful scenes daily occurring in America—that, pointing to the United States, is what your model insti tutions co►ue to. But the moment the man is himself tried, no matter whether a bloated aris tocrat, whether a servile worshipper of things old, or a sturdy Radical, be proves the same. Indeed, judging from the samples before us, the most bitter, the most ill-bred and unscrupulous are among the Tories, and those of the higher ranks. A dislia guished Radical candidate for a metropolitan borough, with many similar letters, received this " I have never yet given my vote to a ruffian or a revolutionist, and ido not intend to do so now. I return your Fenian address, and am with the greatest contempt for yourself, the maniac Goldwiu Smith, the Jamaica Committee, and your Fenian supporters in the borough—An Elector." Colonel Somerset, at Abergavenny, accused his opponent, Colonel Clifford, of having coerced voters in 1847, on which Clifford called him a liar, and his son i❑-law put his fist in Somerset's face, while another gentleman, who was standing by, struck him twice. At Rugby, Dr. Temple, the learned head master of that great public school, was violently thrust from the Town Hall, as he was considered to have no right to hear the address of his Conservative op ponent, Mr. Newdcgate. Nor were the Liberals far behind, as the case between Lord Enfield, eldest son of the Earl of Stafford, and Mr. Henry Labou chere proves. His lordship plumply told the com moner that he did not believe him in some dispute touching how the expenses for their joint election as Liberals for Middlesex were to be apportioned. " Enfield," retorted the commoner, " you were always an incurable sneak," and thus they settled the little money difference, but not without, the in fatuation which induces these people to publish these stories. Enfield says he is the scion of good stock, and he regards Labouchere as a snob. Labouchere says he is as goo I as Enfield, whom he calls to his face au incurable sneak, evidently believing it. Yet both they and the electors desire to see the union of snob and sneak, as their only appropriate representatives. A. Tory would reply that this is the effect of lower ing the franchise, although the actors are not only old members, but some of them lords, and the luau who appears to have behaved best was the working man's candidate, Odder; who sacrificed his own chance freely to benefit his party, working heartily for another. On the whole, however, there is an evident improvement, as those who remember the elections of a quarter of a century ago can testify, both in England and in America, which proves the steady march of education, as intimidation was little used except in the benighted districts of the Southern States and of Wales and Ireland.—Anglo- American limes.
