IN THE BANKRUPTCY OF GENERAL THEODORE DE RUMIGNY. The General was aide-de-camp to Louis Philippe, ex- King of the French, and was made a bankrupt as a sleeping partner in a firm carrying on business as coin mission merchants iu St. Mildred's-court. This was a meeting for the choice of assignees and the last examina tion of the bankrupt. Mr. E. Janus, Q.C., and Mr. Lucas appeared for the General; and Mr. Lawrance represented the creditors. Mr. James said that the General was residing in France, and that up to that time he had failed to suc ceed in obtaining a passport, without which it was im possible that he could make his appearance in that court to surrender to pass his examination. He would read a letter which had been received by the General from the Prefect of Police at Paris, and which contained these words:—" I regret to announce that in consequence of existing circumstances, it is not possible to acceed to your application for a passport." Under these circum stances he asked for further time to be allowed for the bankrupt's surrender. Mr. LAWIIANCE submitted that the bankrupt having failed to make an application u n d e r th e 104th section of the Act, which enacted that an y a ppli c ation similar to the present must be made six days before the last ex amination meeting, the application of Mr. James must be dismissed. It was in ord er on l y t o re li ev e himself from the penal consequences of tho 251st section that the bankrupt now sought time. Ile would contend that it was impossible that the mere p ro d uc ti on o f an all ege d letter from an official of a foreign power could be deemed a sufficient excuse for non -surrender on the part of any bankrupt. It was certainly p ract i ca bl e f or h i m to h ave made an a ffi davit. If an affidavit had been made it might have been ascertained whether any sufficient rea sons for the non-surrender had existed. Mr. JAMES would admit that the proper question was, whether there was any sufficient reason why the bank rupt should not come under the operation of the 251st section? He would contend that his Honour would take cognizance of the existing state of the laws of a foreign country. The law of France was, that no citizen could leave its territory with ou t a passport. If t h e C ourt re quired evidence of the hand writing of the Prefect of Po lice, he would endeavour to furnish it. There was no evidence of the bankrupt having acted in any degree fraudulently, and it would be a harsh proceeding, before assignees had been so much as chosen, to subject him to the penal consequences of the 251st section. The Ge neral was an officer attached to the suite of a fallen monarch, the Count de Neuilty; and his Honour would at once see that there might bo sufficient political rea sons for the French Government not granting a passport. - The COM3IISSIONER said he did not think that he was bound to take c ogn i zance o f th e l aws o f f ore i gn cou n tri es with respect to the point at issue, but he would suggest to Mr. Lawranee whether, under th e c ircumstances, the creditors whom he represented should not consent to allow further time? Mr. LAWRTAN --- CE — Sftid he felt it his duty not to conceal from the Court tb,t up to that moment the bankrupt had not made any communication with his creditors. Mr. LUCAS referred his Honour to" Ex parte Higgin son" and oth er ana l ogous oases , as , warran ti n g the Court in granting, u n d er t h e c i rcums t anc es, further time to surrender. Mr. JAMES—The case, in fact, is analogous to man being in an Austrian prison. In France, with out a passport, he is only in a prison of larger dimen sions.—(Laughter.) The COMMISSIONER said he would accede to Mr. James's request, on the understanding that it should be shown by proper evidence on a future occasion that the bankrupt had made every necessary effort to surrender. Mr. JAMES—Perhaps it would be the test course that some person bhould go over. Mr. LAWRANCE—If Louis Philippe will return, perhaps the bankrupt will be allowed to come over here.—(Laughter.) Mr. JAMES—I believe Mr. Cummissioner Fonblanque is going to Paris to morrow, but I fear that when there he cannot take the General's surrender. — (A laugh.) His HoNouß said, that having • regard to all the cir cumstances, he would allow the time for the bank rupt's, surrender to be extended to the 10th of Sep.. temper. The meeting was adjourned accordingly to that day. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Hugh Robert Macklin, Mary Macklin, Henry Osborne, Sophia Brown, and Susannah Paul, were again brought up on remand before Mr. Alderman Salomon' for further examination on a charge of stealing a gold chain value 20 guineas; two silver spoons, value 41.; a large quan tity of wearing apparel; some jewellery; a very valuable collection of Roman cameos, in Morocco cases, together with various articles of vertu, the property of Mrs. Pyncurt, who is at present travelling in Italy. Alderman SALOMONS said, he considered the evidence in the absence of any one to identify the property only presumptive, but yet so complete was the chain of in formation that he thought it would be advisable to send the case fur the consideration of a jury. It might be as well to inform the prisoners that it was his intention to commit them for trial with the exception of Paul, whose recognizances would be enlarged, and she held to bail to appear and answer the charge at the Central Criminal Court next sessions. He would therefore remand them until Friday next, and in the meantime inquiries would be instituted with respect to the truth of the state ment made by Mary Macklin regarding the disposal of u portion of the property, and the depositions would be prepared in order that they might be read out to the prisoners on Friday. MARYLEBONE. Captain Philip karnard,!esidin4 at 14, Somers-place, Hyde-park, was charged with having violently assaulted Timm Om*" • WII-oolleator. Complainant deposed that on the same afternoon, the defendant, who was on 'horseback, passed by the Morn ington-crescent bar, Hampstead-road, without paying toll. He (complainant) walked after him, and de manded lid., but defendant, instea3 of paying, laughed at him, upon which complainant finding that ho could not get his money seized the horse's reins, when the de fendant raised his stick, and with the lower end of it struck him several sharp blows over the head and shoulders; he also hit him with the butt end, and the number of blows he received in the whole was seven or eight. Defendant—Did you demand the toll of me before you laid of, and stopped my horse? Complainant—Most certainly I did, more than two or three times. George Jackson, coachman to the Earl Compton, said he saw complainant, who had gone after defendant to speak to him, flogged by the latter; the blows appeared to witness to have been given with considerable force. Defendant, on being asked what he had to say, replied that he knew nothing about any bar being at the place alluded to until after his horse was violently seized by complainant, who then for the first time demanded of him the toll. When at the station-house, to which he was taken by a constable complaisant wished to com promise the affair with him, but he would not agree to anything of the sort; the only assault he committed was that of striking complainant on the head. Defendant called a witness who said that there was no thing like a gate at the spot to indicate that toll was ex pected; all that was there was a sort of chain bar, not projecting into, but at the side of the road. Defendant was fined 405., which in addition to lid. for the toll due from him he immediately paid. WORSHIP-STREET. Emma Constable, a young girl of delicate appearance, and scarcely exceeding 16 years of age, was charged before Mr. Arnold with the following repeated and de termined attempts at self-destruction. Francis, a constable of the N division, stated that while on duty at Hackney at a late hour on the night of the 29th of May last, he found the prisoner wandering about in a very wretched and disconsolate condition, and as she acknowledged that she was both homeless and destitute, he conveyed her to the station-house. Upon reaching there.she was placed in one of the cells, and remained perfectly quiet until abeut two o'clock in the morning, when witness was hastily summoned by the reserve officer on duty, who had noticed something strange in her manner, and upon opening the cell door he found her sitting in one of the corners, tugging as hard as she could at the ends of a handkerchief, attached to two pieces of tape, which were secured so tightly round her neck as to leave no doubt of her intention to destroy herself. After cutting the ligatures she slowly revived, and on asking her what she meant by such an act, she told him she was determined to put an end to herself at the first convenient opportunity. On that occasion she was brought to this court for attempted suicide, and remanded by the magistrate for a week, at the expiration of which she was liberated and received into a charitable institution in the neighbourhood, and he saw nothing more of her until the night of the 20th of June, when he found her lying under one of the railway arches at Hackney, and on rousing her up and inquiring why she was not in the institution, she replied that she had been subjected to ill-usage by another of the inmates, and had run away in consequence. At that time she was again re manded for a week, when a gentleman named Tucker, attached to the City Mission, attended and offered to procure her admission into another institution, where she would be properly protected, but she refused to avail herself of the opportunity. Bennett, 152 N, stated, that shortly after the prisoner had been locked up on the last occasion referred to by the officer Francis, he heard a gurgling noise in the cell where she was confined, and upon opening the door found her crouching down in the back part of the cell with her garters tied tightly round her throat. She had not at that time entirely lost her senses, and struggled violently to prevent his saving her life, but he succeeded with as sistance in loosening the garters, and as soon as he had done so she told him sharply to leave her alone, as he had no right ,to interfere with her. During the re mainder of the night he continued to visit the cell at in tervals of every ten minutes, and upon going there a few hours afterwards he found her again lying at full length upon the floor, with her shawl wound tightly round her neck, completely black in the face, and evi dently in the agonies of strangulation. She was upon this occasion again remanded by the magistrate, that he might have an opportunity of con sidering what course to adopt to insure her safety, and was transferred to the House of Detention in the prison van, with private injunctions to the van gaoler to watch her actions. This seemed scarcely necessary for the greater portion of the distance, as the prisoner remained perfectly tranquil, but upon opening the wicket of her compartment shortly before reaching the gaol the officer discovered her silently strangling herself with a piece of green riband taken off her bonnet, and which was tied so firmly round her throat that it was necessary to cut it with a knife. Alderman, the gaoler of the court, apprised the magis trate that since the prisoner had been in his custody the had solemnly declared to him that it was her fixed de termination to deprive herself of existence, and that all the precautions they took to prevent her were perfectly useless, as she would fulfil her intention the very first opportunity that presented itself. lie had continually kept a woman in the cell to watch her, but she obsti nately refused to assign any reason for her extraordinary resolution. A second gentleman belonging t) the City Mission, who appeared to take :great interest in the fate of the girl, and expressed his anxiety to procure her admission into another asylum, was now in attendance, but the ma gistrate thought it advisable to take further time to de termine what course he should pursue with a person who had manifested such a pertinacious determination to de stroy herself, and the prisoner, who remained obdurately silent, was again remanded for a week. 5 5 283 19 LAMBETH. William Edward Eicke, lately a clerk in the Account ant'-office of tho London and South-Western Railway Company, was brought before Mr. Elliott for final exa mination, charged with forging and stealing a deben ture bond fur 2,000/., the property of the railway com pany. The whole of the voluminous depositions were then read over to the prisoner by Mr. Parry, the chief clerk, when Mr. ELLIOTT asked him whether he wished to say anything, as ho stood fully committed to take his trial a t the ensuing Old Bailey sessions for the forgery and larceny. Mr:Games, who appeared for the prisoner, declined stating anything. The prisoner was accordingly committed, and all the witnesses bound over to prosecute. THAMES. Henry Haseman, a registered coal-whipper, Catherine Haseman, a bloated and dissipated looking woman, his wife, and Emma Smith, a girl of loose character, were brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with feloniously assaulting and robbing Mr. Charles Williams, a country gentleman, now residing at 37, Jubilee-place, Stepney. . The prosecutor appeared with his head and face cut and bruised in a dreadful manner. His shirt and clothes were torn and covered with blood, his hands wore severely lacerated, and his eyes were swollen and discoloured. It appeared from his evidence that ho had only been in London a few days, and that on Monday evening he was passing along John's-place, Stepney, near his own residence, when ho met the female prisoners at the door of the house No. 10, and they invited him into the house and asked him to give them some porter. He was not acquainted with the character of the house and its inmates. He imprudently accepted the invitation and sent for porter. When that was drunk Smith asked for some rum and ho gave her a shilling to fetch some. This was repeated several times, until the male prisoner came in, with his face be grime:led with coal dust, and Mr. Williams was intro duced to him as a country gentleman whom they had in vited into their humble dwelling to give him a caution against the thieves and sharpers of London. Soon af ' terwards, and while talking to the women who were constantly hanging about him, he put his hand into his waistcoat pocket and missed his purse, which contained five sovereigns. Ho was sure it was safe when he en tered the house. His silver in another pocket remained untouched. The prosecutor immediately jumped up from the chair and said, " You have robbed me," upon which Smith attempted to leave the room. Mr. Williams put his back against the door and pre vented her. The man, Haseman, directly made a fu rious attack upon him, struck him right and left with his fists, and declared that he should not leave the apartment alive unless he allowed Smith to leave the room. Mr. Williams was soon covered with blood, which flowed copiously from his nose, mouth, and ears, but he, notwithstanding, defended himself as well as he was able, and he was then set upon by the female prisoners, who struck, bit, and scratched him in a moat savage manner; the other prisoner all the while hitting and kicking him as hard as he was able. After a desperate conflict the door was opened, and the parti es all got into the hall of the house, where the struggle was renewed. The prosecutor was dragged into the yard at the rear of the house, where an attempt was made to strangle him. lie clung to the male prisoner, who threw him down and kicked him, and the women set upon him again and beat him. He called out " Murder, police, thieves!" as loud as he was able, and at length, when he was nigh exhausted, Pye, a police-constable, No. 111 K, rushed into the house just as Mrs. Haseman was pre paring, with a piece of wood three feet in length and as thick as a man's arm, to beat out the prosecutor's brains. Pye arrested her arm, and saved the prosecutor from a blow which would most probably have killed him hid it taken effect. Pyc drove Haseman on one bide and raised the prosecutor from the ground. Ho was then covered with blood and there was a frightful gash on his fore• head. The prosecutor said he had been robbed of five sovereigns and nearly murdered. While they were talk ing Pye saw Mrs. Haseman attempting to conceal the piece of wood in the garden. Ho took the male prisoner into custody, leaving Sergeant Smith, No. 28 K, in the house, who began to search the front parlour for the purse and sovereigns which Mr. Williams bad lost. While he was doing so, the prosecutor saw the end of his green purse behind a shell on the top of a chest of drawers. He snatched it up, and the woman peroeiving h i m d o go , m id to s ra itb, “etch him, he hes ag doubt [PRICE SD. got it about bim." Mr. Williams immediately said, " Yes, I have , got it," and handed it to the sergeant. It contained all the money the prosecutor had missed. The prisoner endeavoured to turn the tables on the prosecutor by accusing him of most gross familiarities with the two women, which he solemnly denied. They denied all knowledge of the robbery, and said the purse was never in their possession. Haseman also said he caught the prosecutor taking indecent liberties with his wife, and resented it by striking at him, and was struck again. Mr. YARDLEY asked the character of the house where the assault and robbery was committed? Smith said it was a brothel where a sailor was robbed and nearly murdered a fortnight ago. Mr. YARDLEY, after commenting upon the imprudence of Mr. Williams entering such an infamous place and joining such company as he had done, committed the prisoners for trial. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Capital £500,000. Empowered by Act of Parliament. This Institution embraces important and substantial advantages with respect to Life Assurances and Deferred Annuties. Policies issued by this Society have a twofold advantage :—provi sion for the family of the Assured, and as augmenting pecuniary available resource to himself, if needful, while lying. The Assured has, on all occasions, the power to borrow, without expense, or for feiture of the Policy, two-thirds of the Premiums paid. DIVISION OF PROFITS, The continued prosperity of the Society has enabled the Directors at the Annual Meeting, held on the Bth of :May, 1850, to declare a sixth bonus, varying from 27 to 65 per cent. on the Premiums paid on each Policy effected on the profit scale.

By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta zcons than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or, at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk of forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives. The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan tages which the judicious application of a small saving oaa secure through this Society. I. BENEFITS 11.

The sports commenced on Monday were resumed yesterday with great spirit, and the weather being more propitious there was a very large attendance of visitors. The stands were all well filled, and the_gronnds pre sented a very anim a t e d appearance. Having in our yesterday's impression given a full description of the games exhibited and the general character of the fete, it is unnecessary again to enter into the details of the pro ceedings. Tne first day having been dedicated to the discovery and selection of the best men in the different sports, the second saw the number of the competitors considerably diminished, and the trials of strength and skill narrowed to what special pleaders call " a single issue." The performances commenced with archery, the contest for the prizes in which was maintained in a very creditable manner and with a decided improvement on the practice of last year. This is the more praise worthy, as, from the near approach of the great annual Toxophilite Exhibition in Scotland, there were few archers present from the north. The successful compe titors are nearly all Englishmen, and the subjoined figures will show that they are no novices in the art on which the reputation of William Tell and Robin Hood is founded: Hits. Gross Score. Horace Ford .. ... ... ... 144 618 J. Bramhall ... ... ... ... 143 595 Thomas Heath ... ... ... 130 556 Charles Garnett ... ... ... 128 548 Willis ... ... ... ... ... 110 470 E.

Hutchons 90 427 As few of our readers, in all probability, know what the "gross score" means, it is necessary to explain that a hit in " the gold," or bull's-eye, counts nine ; one in " the red," seven ; one in the inner " white," five ; one in " the black," three ; and one in the outer " white," one. The aggregate of " hits" is called the " gross score." We have given the names of only ten of the successful competitors, though the prizes extend to a much greater number. Another exhibition of a very interesting character took place in the early part of the day and excited much attention. ' We allude to a competition in Strath speys and Real music on the violin. Herr Ernst and the other great masters of the day would no doubt be greatly amused at the rude style of this performance, but there must be some distinguishing touches of poetry and sen timent in a subject which has called forth one of the finest efforts of Wilkie's pencil and Burns' muse. " The Scotch Fiddle," is a delicate subject to touch upon; but the managers of thefete have, in a very praiseworthy manner, overlooked the joke to which this item in their programme undOubtedly exposed them. They have thereby done an important service to the musical repu tation of their country, fir there now remain but tew representatives of Neil GOW'd style of instrumentation; and it would be a great pity that for want of a little fos tering care the cheerful tunes, which in the long winter nights excite the humblest families in the Highlands to dance, and reconcile them to their inclement sky and hard fortunes, should be entirely forgotten. The success ful competitors in fiddling yesterday were 1). Mc Fer cher, Allan and Ewen Fraser from Lochaber. After one o'clock the proceedings partook very much of the same character as on Monday. Thomas Menzies " put" the heavy stone, weighing 201 b., 33 ft. 9 in.; D. D. Kennedy, 33 ft. 1 in.; and A. It'E.an. 32 tt. 10i in. The heavy hammer was thrown 81 ft. 10 in. by John Frazer, and 81 f , . '2 in. by Thomas Menzies. The tossing of the " caber' again proved a most attractive performance, the successful competitors being Samuel Kennedy and John Cameron. There were two foot races, in the first of which Forbes, Gow, and Notman were the winners; and in the second D. M'Crae, W. Connachie, and W. Kennedy. Interspersed with these games were dancing and broadsword and bayonet exer cise. The style of two or three of the men who danced was thoroughly characteristic, and it was quite remark able how accurately the spectators picked out and showed their predilection for those performers whose step and bearing seemed most "native and to the manner born." One lad named G. Forbes Notenan danced the Highland fling with such admirable spirit and grace that the judges have determined to give him one of the prix-s offered by her Majesty, when she visited Rolland-park on Monday. Were we asked to specify the main features of yester day's exhibition we should unhesitatingly say that it was the broad-sword and target exercise as opposed to the bayonet. The result of the repeated trials made between men thus armed leaves it beyond doubt that in single combat, and, we presume, in a general action also, the baycnet has no chance with the claymore and shield. Nearly a dozen bouts took place, the man selected for the bayonet being the very best that Loudon could pro duce, while those armed with the sword and target, though good fencers, had little or no experience of the use to which a shield could be put. The result was in every instance favourable to the old Highland weapons of warfare, and in three or four cases the bayonet man was not able to make a single thrust. It was very amusing to see the intense interest with which a large body of the best swordsmen in the Household troops and in the Artillery watched this part of the performances. The merit of bringing this important question to the military world so prominently forward rests we believe, with Mr. M'lan, who, with Mr. Chap man, acted as umpires over the display of fencing. All questions which could not be decided by these gen tlemen were referred to Mr. Angelo, who, with his son Mr. Henry Angelo, might well feel proud of the dexte rity displayed by so many of their pupils entered on the occasion as combatants. The prizes in broadsword ex ercise were awarded to Corporal Sutton, Corporal Jackson, and Corporal Venn. In broadsword and target exercise as against the bayonet to Corporal-Major As ling, Corporal Venn, and Monsieur Leon Gillemand. Among the more distinguished visitors to the fete yesterday were the Nepaulese Princes. They were re ceived at the entrance to the park by a body guard, specially appointed for the purpose, and wore conducted at once to seats in Lord Holland's private stand. There they remained for more than an hour spectators of all that took place. The performance terminated shortly after six o'clock ; the band of the Scotch Fusileers playing " God save the Queen," and the pipers escort ing the company with music to the gates of the park. At half-past seven o'clock a banquet took place in the Freemasons' Tavern, as an appropriate close to the pro ceedings of the fete, and for the distribution of the prises. The chair was filled by Sir Evan Mackenzie, of Kilcoy, who discharged its duties with great good taste, and in giving the toast of " Prosperity to the Scottish Fete," counselled all concerned in it to unanimity of feeling and harmonious action. He reminded the com pany of the old saying, "Highlanders shoulder to shoulder," and we must say, from many things that we have heard and seen, the hint thus given by Sir Evan is an exceedingly well-timed one. At a late hour of the evening no list of prizes had been announced, nor was there the least prospect of such announcement taking place, though the successful competitors were all present in the hall ready to receive their rewards, and though the dinner had been specially ordered for the purpose. This indicates mismanagement somewhere, and shsivs that the committee, to whom the business of the fete is intrusted, do not pull cordially together. The High land Society. however, and the Scottish Society are the bodies to which the public will look for the adjustment of these differences. Under their joint patronage a new and valuable addition has been made to the summer amusements of the metropolis. If they exert themselves properly, a great and useful amount of encouragement will be afforded to those characteristic and manly out door sports which for a long time have fallen into dis repute became they have not been properly patronised, but which, among all distinguished nations, have been regarded with favour as forming the habits and con firming the health of the people. If, through misma nagement, the Scottish fete ceases to be attractive, the blame of the failure will be thrown by the public, not on individuals, but upon the societies already mentioned — societies established expressly for the purposes to which this exhibition is devoted, and which are useless if by their patronage they do not preserve for it the popu larity which it has already acquired. Mr. Maunsell, M.P., had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer yesterday, at his official rendenet in Downing-street. 1 The COURT CIRCULAR.

EXTRAORDINARY CALCULATOR In a report of the proceeding at a recent meeting of the members of the Institute of Actuaries, given in the Post Magazine, the following account is furnished of a German, at present residing in London, whose cal culating powers seem to outbid those of the celebrated Ueorge Bidder :—" The remainder of the evening was occupied by the appearance of a German gentleman, named Daz':, whose extraordinary talents for calcula tion, and the facility with which he performs the most tedious arithmetical operations, and answers the questions with equal ease, either verbally or in writ ing, are so remarkable, as to elicit the wonder and admiration of every one who hears or sees him. llis answers are given with almost the same rapidity that the listener can write down the result, allowing nothing for the time spent in computing. The first question asked him was the product of a number, con sisting of five figures, by another number of five figures, and the correct answer was given almost instan taneously. His friend, who acted as interpreter for him, stated that he had the most singular power of telling at a glance a great number of objects thrown upon the table—as for instance, the total num ber of marks on dominoes, even to one hundred or more. To test this quality, the balloting balls, which had just been used for the admission of new members, were thrown from the box loose upon the table, and Herr Daze, after taking a single glance, and then turning away, declared the total number to be GS, which proved to be correct, when the balls were counted and returned to the box. It should be re marked in this case that some were lying much nearer together than others, and that they would appear to an ordinary spectator to be so confused as to puzzle even an experienced calculator how to avoid reckoning some of them twice. lie then gave the product of two numbers to twelve figures, multiplied it by 7, and repeated the lat ter product back wards without an error in any figure, lie was then asked the cube of 457, which was cor rectly given, 95,433,993, almost instantaneously, lie will divide a number by another, consisting of two or three figures, and will write down the answer at once, in one line, without any apparent intermediate process. In as rapid a manner he gave the factors to 7,421, namely, 41,181 ; hut it would take up too much time to state all the surprising proofs of this singular gift of calculation. 'We may merely mention, as one instance, that he multiplied a number, consisting of 12 figures, by another number of 12 figures, and gave the product correct in one minute and three-quarters." THE HEALTH OF LONDON. (From the weekly return of the Registrar-General.) In the week ending last Saturday, 965 deaths were registered in London. The increase on the return of the previous week, when only 775 deaths occurred, arises not from an increased rate of mortality, but from an influx of cases which had been the subjects of coro ners' inquests at various periods in the last three months, but were not registered till the end of the quarter. The corrected average for ten corresponding weeks in 1840-9 is 994; compared with which the deaths of last week ex hibit a decrease of 29. Ten persons, of whom 9 were children, died of smallpox, 17 of measles, 14 of scarla tina, 19 of hooping-cough, and 34 of typhus; all of these epidemics showing much less than the usual mortality, except the last, which differs little from the average. Bat diarrhea.% shows a considerable increase ; in the last three weeks the fatal cases have run . thus-17, 18, and 33. Two deaths from cholera were registered;— Oa the 25th Jane, at 4, Princes-street, Cripplegate, s, purer, aged 38 year>, died of " acute rheumatism (10 days), cholera (3 days)." The deceased had a severe attack of cholera in August last, and since that time his health has not. been good. On the 28th ef June, at 23, Wiudmill-row,;the:wite.of a labourer, aged 54 years, died of " bilious cholera (45 hours)." Th e cert ifi ca te adds that " there was nu purging in this case." Mr. Mears, the registrar, when cholera prevailed l a st year, described this row as in a filthy condition, and singularly adapted to generate disease. than 7 deg. abov e th e THE WEATHER,--The mean heigh t of the baro rmeertaetruritel v, th ,a e s p 4 a: . t 2 w d e e e g k .walst w2asll.B:orienches.
