RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. MIDLAND. The general half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at Derby, and was attended Ellis, the n umerous body of shareholders. Mr chairman of the directors, presided. Mr. J. F. Bell, the secretary, read the r eport of the directors. It stated that the g ross receipts from the traffic of the half-year ending June last have exceeded those of the corresponding half-year of 1852 by the sum of 46,9971. exclusive of receipts from the North-West ern. The proportion wh ich the working expenses,lsave been borne to the receipts (exclusive of rates, taxes, Government duty, and the provision for the renewal of permanent way and increase of rolling stock) laS been 441. 17s. 6d. per cent., as compared . with 4/. Bs. 7d. per cent., as compared with 411. Bs. id. p er cent. in 1852 ; the percentage, h o wever, of 1852 did not include the working of the North-Western. The balance available for dividend is 173,4061., and the directors recommend dividends payable on the Ist of September as follows :- as, 12s. 6d. upon each 1001. Midland consolidated stock • 18s. 9d. upon each 1001. Birmingham and Derby consolidated stock, 31. upon. each 1001. consolidated preferential stock ; 11. 10s. upon each Erewash Valley share ; and 2s. 3d. upon each share of 161. 13s. 4d., being 41 per cent. upon 51. per share paid up. This will leave a balance of 2,0841. to be carried to the next - account. There has been a great increase in the cost of the maintenance of way-one-half of which is caused by the reinstatement of the line and works from the da mage done by the floods of last winter. The high rate of wages, the additional length of line maintained, and the larger traffic upon it, have also contributed to that result. The many advantages arising from the use of the fish-joint, when applied to rails of the ordinary construction, have induced the directors to purchase from the Permanent Way Company the right of using this and all their other patents, which will effect a considerable saving. 161 miles of double line have been relaid, and 15 miles fish jointed during the half-year. The increased speed and weight of the trains, however, render it necessary to proceed more rapidly than they have hitherto done with this work, and with the substi tution of 801 b. rails for 561 b. and 651 b. rails, and the directors recommend that so much of the cost thus in curred as represents the " increased " strength of the permanent way should be charged to capital, and the remainder to revenue. The works between lateGlcese a nd Stonehouse, which were much impeded by the . to a un favourable weather, are now proceeding Pa y completion. The narrow guage from Stonehouserabolut twoto Bristol is completed, jwith the exception o miles, and it is anticipated that there will be an unbroken narrow guage to Bristol in the course of the autumn. Ten new goods engines and t enders and 590 waggons have been added to the stock since la l st half t -yea . r, and the cost has been charged noncet ,as au largeof the addi tion to the goods and mineral traffic, the directors have contracted for 20 new goods engines and tenders, at a cost of 52,0001., to be charged to capital. The mileage of trains for the half-year has been 3,009,993 miles, against 2,603,068 for the corresponding period of 1852; and the weight of goods and minerals carried has been 1,846,016 tons, against 1,508,058, being an increase of 337,958 tons. With respect to Parliamentary proceed ings, the directors state that they found it necessary to oppose the bills of the Leicester and Nuneaton, the Ambergate, Nottingham, and Boston, and the Stam ford and Essendine railway companies, as they con tained clauses very inimical to their interests. The bills of the two first-named have been rejected by Parliament, and the objectionable clauses struck out of the Stamford and Essendine. The bills promoted by the Midland Company for the construction of the Leicester and Hitchen Railway, and for the conver sion of the debenture debt of the company into pre ference shares or annuities, have received the Royal assent ; but the bill for amalgamation with the London and North-Western has been withdrawn, in consequence of the appointment of a select committee of the House of Commons, which advised the house not to allow of any amalgamation this session, and which has since re ported against the amalgamation of very large companies. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said, that the position of the company with respect to the revenue of the line was exceedingly satisfactory. The increase of their earnings had far exceeded expec tation, and it was still progressing at a most gratifying rate. Turning to the other side of the question, how ever, he at once admitted that it was far from satisfac tory. (Hear, hear.) They must, of course, have anti eipated a considerable increase in their expenses from various causes, which must be obvious to every one. In the price of all the materials employed in the re pairs of stock, and especially of locomotives, there had been a very great increase ; but he confessed that he and his brother directors had been surprised at the end of the half-year to find the amouut by which the ex penses had exceeded those of the former half-year. The expense of the permanent way had increased by 3,800/. The proprietors would remember that at the last meet• ing he had stated, with reference to the heavy floods, that Mr. Barlow, the engineer, had informed him that they would inflict a cost on the company of something like 10,0001. About 3,0001. of that sum they bad paid last half-year, and he believed that something like 4,000/. of the present 8,0001. was attributable also to the consequences of those tremendous floods. 1,2001. had been occasioned by the Little North-Western, and the remaining 3,0001. was partly accounted tor by the high wages, and partly by the high prices of materials. When it came to be examined, he did not think that there was anything to be dissatisfied with with respect to the increased charge on account of the permanent way. (Hear.) In the locomotive power there was an increase of 22,000/. About 6,000/. of that had arisen from working the Little North-Western, reducing that increase to 16,0001. In the half-year, however, they had nearly 406,000 ad ditional miles, and carried 337,000 ions more weight than in the previous half-year. The Locomotive Com mittee were disposed to 'exercise the utmost amount of economy that could possibly be practised in that depart ment consistently with the safety and efficiency of the stock, but beyond that they could not and were not pre pared to go. (Hear, hear.) In the coaching depart ment, also, there had been an increase of about 7,0001., 1,0001. of which arose from working the Little North- Western, and the remainder from the increased rate of wages and materials. In the merchandise department there had been an increased expenditure of nearly 10,0001., ],OOOl. of which was attributable to the Little North- Western, while the remainder had arisen from the same fertile source of increased expenditure-the price of materials and wages. The directors, however, had come to the conclusion that the merchandise department at the various stations required a very close revision. During the continuance of the floods in the winter it had been necessary to put on a great number of extra hands beyond what was requisite for the ordinary traffic. Many of those hand had since been dis pensed with, but not to the full extent, and measures were being taken for strictly and stringently investiga ting the state of the staffs at every station, great and small, and for making such reductions as with safety they could make. (Hear, hear.) They did not intend to do anything in any way to impair the working of the line, but every effort that men of business could exert should be made to reduce this charge to the lowest pos sible point. (Hear, hear.) The directors were as anxious as the proprietors could be to keep down the expenses ; but every man of business knew that in the present state and tendency of things in this country it was not possible to expect any great reduction of expen diture ; but they must be content if they could keep ex penditure at its present amount. The directors were of opinion that the time had come when they ought to go thoroughly through all their sources of revenue. Almost every class of people, in whatever trade engaged, were making money out of the present circumstances of the country, but themselves. They were so tied down in many cases by their maximum rates that they could not help themselves ; but they intended to go carefully through the whole of their rates, and in every case where it was practicable and safe to increase their rate of charges. (Hear hear.) That was really the only way of meeti ng the difficulty. To a considerable extent he hoped they would be able to accomplish their object. In some measur e it had already been effected ; but it was their intention to go through the whole of the rates again with ti t i h e e t view of raising them. He was not afraid of losing had a sinking traffic. a bit. It was not as if they and it was their Zet.ay toThey deal with hn it, , immenseaed to t maker a ffi c, the most of it. Little North-Westeorrn With regard to the (Hear, hear.) might have been a loss of 1,000/. by itself, but, looking at the t this raffi e w y k ea io r h , ittatkoinokg to and from the Midland,was convinced that on the whole it was a great lie' to them. The traffic or Ez a e l d te l t 3 we en 40 and 50 per upon that line had increasNe,d, Irthe Midland, and cent., owing to its being to the traffic which they mutually n an ex d t con- voyed from each other. (Hear, hear.) im portant question was that of the maintenance and it was one which the proprietors must ninceeet boldly, ° f way, They were aware that up to this time railways almost an experiment. He had been a railway ddir been 24 years, and he remembered t hat they began with e3c5t117 rails, then they got to 401 b., then 561 b., then 651 b , then 7 01 b., an d no w the y thought that nothin g less than 801 b. rails would carry them safely. But not the rails only, but the chairs and sleepers had also increased in weight; and, inasmuch as their original rails had been 451 b. and 651 b. rails, it was necessary that every one of them should come out at once. If the meeting were of opinion that th e cost of replacing them with 801 b. rails should be defray ed out of revenue, it was for them to say . so. The directors thought that that would be an unjust course towards the present. proprietors, so long as they were a shifting proprietary, and suggested that the difference between t he weights of the two rails should be borne by the capital. The labour of r a ela c yi t n i g je , they thought, should be paid nut of revenue, and difference in weight only out of capital. (Hear, hear.) They had often talked in that ro om about closing the capital account; but he had always told them that they never could close it until they bad developed the whole traffic of the country and had brought the railway sys tem to a perfect system. They must develop° the traffic, and they might depend upon it they could not carry it on with the old rails. The directors were bound to see that the line was safe for the pub lic to travel on, and it was not safe while they had only 561 b. rails where 801 b. rails were required. It was for the meeting to say whether they would charge the cost of laying down those to revenue or to capi tal, because there was no question r but they must be laid down. A great many patents andltd been obtained at dif ferent times for connecting improving rails. For several years past the directors had paid considerable attention to the "fish-joint," as it was called, in use upon the Eastern Counties line, a n d th ey we satis fied of the great benefit which resultedfromi ts use that they did not intend i n f uture to lay any r a il s withoutit. fish-joint re s hould be also charged t o ca p ital . (Hear, hear.) he They were of opin i o n that the e xpense of the , _ THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 24, 1853. were now 75 miles of line that must be relaid within three years. The cost of that the directors proposed to defray out of capital, but, by continuing to set aside 20,0001. a-year out of the revenue, they hoped to set the account square again. With regard to the prop osed increase in the locomotive stock, he would only observe that no line in England worked the same amount of traffic with so few engines As the Midland did. The di rectors saw the traffic increasing day by day , an d, as engines could not be constructed at a minute's notice, they had taken upon themselves to order 20 new ones, and they hoped that the proprietors would sanction the course which they had taken in that respect. (Hear.) That, also might be paid out of revenue if the meeting wished it. With respect to their Parliamentary proceed ings, he begged to congratulate them most heartily upon having carried the Leicester and Hitchin line. The more he looked at it, and considered the position in which it placed them, the more satisfied he was that it was the wisest piece of policy they had ever pursued. They in tended to proceed at once to construct that line. They were bound to make it in five years, but he hoped that they would have it completed in half that time. The average interest of their debenture debt was 31.195. 4d., but he hoped that the time might come when they would be able to convert their deb entures into 31 per cent. stock, and when it did arrive they would ask for powers to effect that conversion. He would not attempt to prophecy, but he expressed his firm conviction that there was no cause whatever to despair of the Mid land Railway. He believed that the time was at hand when they would obtain som ething handsome from it ; but the only way to do so was to determine upon increasing their rates. Even the twopences made a dif ference in such a concern as that, and, when he looked into the ramifications of it, he certainly was very hope ful upon the subject ; and he told them once more that he believed no man need despair about the position of the Midland Railway. (Hear, hear.) He begged to move " That the report of the directors now read, and th e r ecommendation s therein contained, be received and adopted, and that the same be printed and a copy sent to each proprietor. (Cheers.) Mr. IlioNstpEs did not understand how it was, with their greatly increased traffic, that they were only to get a dividend of 31 per cent. He had seen it stated in some of the newspapers that a gentleman named All port, from the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, was to be engaged to manage their line at a salary of 1,8001. a-year. He hoped and trusted that there was some error there. The French lines were better con ducted and paid better than ours, but there were no such salaried officers as that. With regard to raising the rates upon the line, that was a subject upon which the directors ought not to enter without a great deal of care and caution. The CHAIRMAN said, that Mr. Ironsides was in some error with respect to Mr. Allport, Whatever changes they proposed would be mentioned next half-year; but in the meantime he would say that the directors were either compent to manage that concern, or they were not. If they were competent, surely they were fit to be intrusted with fixing the salaries of their servants. If the proprietors thought them incompetent, tell them so at once, and they should no longer be troubled with their services. (Hear, hear.) With respect to the French lines, there was no analogy whatever between the cases, for if the English Government had protected the English lines as the French Governrsent had pro- tected the French lines, they would have given as good dividends as the French railways ; but the British Parliament had subjected them to fierce and unnatural competition, for which the directors of existing companies were in no way responsible. One of the great points at which they ought to aim was the maintenance of peace and amity with surrounding companies, and he was glad to inform the meeting that in addition to the six towns with respect to which an arrangement had previously been made, they had now arranged that with regard to the towns of Peterborough, Stamford, Nottingham, and Newark there should be no competition between the Great Northern Company and themselves so long as the Gladstone award remained in force, which would be up to the beginning of 1856. (Hear, hear.) Their rates were agreed and fixed upon, and with respect, therefore, to those important towns there would be no competition whatever. (Hear, hear.) Mr. IRONSIDES said, the chairman would recollect that at a former meeting he had recommended that a list of all the salaries above 1001. a-year should be published with their financial statements. With reference to Mr. Allport, he asked where they found educated men in the professions receiving 1,8001. a-year. What clergyman received such a sum for his services ? The CHAIRMAN —A clergyman would be of no use to us. (A. laugh.) If Mr. Ironsides persisted at any future time in his motion ho should oppose it, because he was convinced that it would prove of a most preju dicial character if adopted. (Hear.) A conversation then took place with respect to the increase of the Leeds and Bradford capital amount, which the chairman answered to the satisfaction of the shareholders. Mr. GEE, after referring to the inconvenience experi enced by coal proprietors in consequence of the non return of trucks, adverted to the unfair and irregular manner in which passes were given by the company's servant's to persons on all parts of the line, although not employed on the business of the company. The CHAIRMAN said, it would be a long time before any railway company would ever satisfy the coalowners in the matter of trucks. He had been in the way him self, and he knew what it was. (A laugh.) With re gard to the pass question, he said let him and the direc tors be informed who were the offenders, and he would soon see that the evil was remedied. He asked the question, did any of them ever know that he had given a pass to any of his friends ? Neither to his wife, nor to any of his family, had he ever granted such a privilege. He wished Mr. Gee to supply him with the names of the persons to whom he had referred, and he would see that the matter was thoroughly investigated, and justice done to the company. (Hear.) Mr. GEE said that he was possessed of a number of names, but he thought it better not to mention them on that occasion. He only hoped that the system of which he complained would be amended. (Cries of " Name.") The CHAIRMAN said, he should not receive any thing Mr. Gee said at that meeting, unless he gave to the directors the names of the personi he had referred to. Mr. GEE asked if Mr. Taylor had a pass ? The CHAIRMAN replied that he bad: He was an old director of the company, and his eminent services en titled him to that privilege. He believed there were only three old directors who during their lifetime had enjoyed passes. He referred to the late Lord Wham cliffe, the late Mr. Gisborne, and Mr. Taylor. As he bad before stated, however, if Mr. Gee would furnish the case, a rigid inquiry should take place. The motion was then unanimously agreed to ; and a resolution declaring the dividend in the terms of the report was also unanimously adopted. The meeting was then made special, in order to de termine upon the mode of creating the new capital for the construction of the Leicester and Hitchin Railway. The CHAIRMAN, in introducing this subject, again en larged upon the advantage which this line would bring to the company. Their engineer, Mr. Liddell, had es timated that it would cost to construct 900,0001., which the directors proposed to raise as follows :—To take powers for the creation of 135,000 51. shares, which would yield 675,0001., and to borrowing the remaining 225,0001. They proposed that the new stock should be issued in October next, that it should bear interest at the rate of 4 per cent. (preferential), that it should be offered to the present holders at the rate of one share for every 1001. stock, that the first call of 30s. should be made on the 24th of October next, a further call of 30s. on the 24th of April, 1854, and the last call of 21. on the 30th of October, 1854. He concluded by moving a resolution to that effect. A PROPRIETOR wished to know what good was anti cipated from this line ? The CHAIRMAN, said it was unnecessary to go into that, because they were obliged by Parliament to con struct it within five years—they had no option. He might say, however, without meaning anything in vidious to the North-Western, with whom they were on the best terms, that he could never rest until the Midland Railway, with its 500 miles of line, was nearer London than Rugby. (Hear.) This line brought it within 30 miles of the metropolis, and was in that re spect highly important and advantageous. (Cheers.) After a few words from Mr. Ramsay and Mr. Cooke in opposition to the guarantee principle generally, the motion was agreed to. On the motion of Mr. BARROW, M.P., seconded by Mr. Simnrron, the Audit Board was appointed, and the proceeding terminated with the usual compliment to the chairman. NORTH-WESTERN AND SOUTH STAFFORD On Monday a public meeting was held at Dudley, convened by the Mayor (Mr. Creswell) in answer to a requisition signed by most of the leading men in the iron trade, and other influential inhabitants of Dudley in re spect to the very serious inconvenience and great per sonal danger to which passengers cf the South Stafford shire and Stour Valley Railways are exposed by the ne cessity for changing carriages at the Dudley Port Station opened for in consequence of the non-opening of the loop-line con necting such railways, and stating that the completion f such loop had been unnecessarily delayed, and might be After s passenger traffic in the course of a few days.

This line is in full traffic as far as Hopebrook, six miles from Ross, which distawe is performed by omnibl4o, Summer cholera and diarrhcea exhibit a small decrease in the present as compared with the previous return. The deaths ascribed to diarrhcea are 126, of which 115 occurred among children. The tender age of nearly all the sufferers, 97 of them not having completed their first year, is sufficient to dispel the popular error that the use of fruit is the exciting cause. Smallpox was fatal in only 5 cases, measles in 13, scarlatina in 27, hooping cough in 28, ague in one, typhus in 48. The following are the details of 10 cases of cholera registered in the week : In the sub-district of St. Paul, Deptford, in High street, on the 14th of August, a gasfitter, aged 33 years, died of " English cholera." In Lewisham villarge, at 4, North-cottages, on the 14th of August, the daughter of a labourer, aged 6 years, " English cholera (24 hours)." At 8, Vine-place, Bond-street, Vauxhall, on the 17th of August, the son of a lighterman aged 5 months, " choleraic diarrhcea (46 hours)." In Elm-grove, Plumstead-common, on the 7th of August, the son of a mercantile clerk, aged 2 years, " cholera (10 hours), convulsions (2 hours)." Post mortera. In St. James's, Westminster, at 3, Bentinck-street, on the 15th of August, the daughter of a porter, aged 5 months, " summer cholera." In St. James's, Westminster, at 35, Great Windmill street, on the 12th of August, the widow of a iinen manufacturer, aged 68 years, " English cholera (8 days)." In Hoxton Old Town, at 7, Little John-street, on the 13th of August, the son of a leather dresser, aged 7 weeks "cholera infantum (7 days)." In St. George's-in-the East, at 15, King-street, on the 13th of August, the daughter of a labourer, aged 4 years, " English cholera (24 hours.") In St. George's-in-the-East, at 3, Providence-street, on the 12th of August, the son of a horsehair curler , aged 1 year, " English cholera (2 days)." At Prospect-house, Old Kent-road, on the 14th of August, the widow of a s il ve rsmith, aged 92 years, "English cholera ( 1 week). In the sub-district of Woolwich Arsenal, at 4, Edward street, on the 17th of August, a house-painter, aged 17 years, died of "petechial typhus (13 days)." Mr. Rixon, the registrar, states that " a twin brother died of the same disease, in the same house, on the 24th of July last. The father reports that the watercloset adjoins the sit ting-room, and the water from it (he thinks) runs under the floor." , In the south sub-district of the city of London, at 11, Fivefoot-la , ne, on the 14th of August, the daughter of a basket-maker, aged 1 year, died of "scarlatina (4days)." Mr. Wickes, the registrar, says—" This is the third death in the same house, though not the same family ; the first occurred on the 31st of July, the second on the 7th of August. In Waterloo sub-district (Ist part), Lambeth, at 6, Isabella-place, on the 12th of August, the daughter of a labourer, aged 2 months, died of "diarrhcea (7 days)." Mr. Mears, the registrar, writes as follows :—" This filthy hole, (Isabella-place, Broadwall) is at all times rife with disease and death. My only surprise is that any human beings can exist in such an atmosphere ; yet every one of the seven or eight hovels it contains, some of two, others of four rooms, has a family in each room. There is neither air, light, nor ventilation of any kind. I do not register probably one-fifth of the fatal cases originating in this place, as many persons are removed to the workhouse or Fever Hospital, and are registered there. My return of this week is the largest in my sub-district since the period of cholera. Fever and diarrhcea are increasing. In the Borough-road sub-district, in the workhouse, on the 12th of August, the son of a labourer, aged 6 years, died of " typhus." He had been brought from 7, Little Suffolk-street, which (says Mr. Elliott, the re gistrar), "is only two doors from the house referred to in my return of the 6th inst. The houses Nos. 8 and 9 were then described as in a filthy condition." In South Hackney, at Wood's-yard, Well-street, on the 12th of August, the son of a shoemaker, aged 5 years, " natural death, caused by fever from bad drain age." Inquest. Mr. Steib, the registrar, adds :—" Two other children of the same parents are lying ill of fever from the same cause. One privy serves all the houses ; one pump supplies all the houses in the yard. The drains being defective, the filth finds its way into the well, which is close to this house, through which a. drain ) passes, emitting a nauseous and unwholesome smell." The following additional cases are selected from the returns :—The daughter of a shipwright, aged 7 days, died of "eczema (3 days.)" In the Surrey County Lu ' natio Asylum, a woman, aged 33 years, died of "chorea with paralysis." At 4, Railway-place, Plumstead, on the 12th of August, the son of a carpenter, aged 2 years, " pemphigus gangrenosus." The son of a porter, aged 12 months, " bronchitis (12 months), varicella (2 weeks,) pneumonia double." Two persons died from intemperance. Four cases of carbuncle occurred :—At 4, Anchor street, Bethnal-green, on the 16th of August, a horse hair manufacturer, aged 66 years, "apoplexy, carbuncle (6 weeks), debility (2 weeks)." At 1, Wellington-place, Borough-road, on the 19th of August, a journeyman butcher, aged 61 years, died of "carbuncle (5 weeks)." The medical attendant appended the following note to his certificate :—" This case was neglected from the first,—viz., three weeks ago. The informant (his wife) stated that the neglect arose from the aversion deceased had to receive medical treatment under any circumstance. He had treated his complaint as a boil for the first three weeks." At 2, Tothill-court, Westminster, on the 13th of August, a spinster, aged 45 years, " carbuncle and exhaustion." In St. Bartholomew's Hospital, from 11, Poppin's-court, Fleet-street, on the 11th of August, the widow of a jeweller, aged 60 years, " carbuncle. Last week the births of 775 boys and 743 girls, in all 1,518 children, were registered in London. In the eight corresponding weeks of the years 1845-52 the average number was 1,348. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29 . 736 in. The reading of the barometer decreased from 29 . 97 in. at the beginning of the week to 29'40 in. by 9b. p.m. on the 16th ; increased to 29.83 in. by the morning of the 18th ; then decreased to 29'77 in. by 3h. p.m. on the 19th ; and increased to 29.81 in. by the end of the week. The mean temperature of the week was 60.4 deg., which is slightly below the average of the same week in 38 years. It was below the average on the first five days of the week, but on Friday and Saturday rose 4 deg. above it. The highest temperature of the week was 77'5 deg., and occurred on Friday ; the lowest was 45.8 deg., and occurred on Thursday. The greatest diffe rence between the dew point temperature and air tem perature was 15 . 4 deg. on Friday; the least 0 . 9 deg. on Tuesday. The mean difference of the week was 6.2 deg.

The showery state of the weather evidently deterred numbers from " assisting 7 . at the: day's races, the at tendance of general company being comparatively very scanty. Few ladies ventured forth, and the show of carriages was poor indeed. The amount of sport, how ever, exceeded expectation, and speculation was carried on with much spirit, notwithstanding the results were for the most part unfavourable to the fielders. The ground was somewhat heavy in places, but generally speaking there was " good going. " RADCLIFFE RACES—YESTERDAY. ST. LEGER. Baron Oswy FREE HANDICAP. Snowdon Dunhill f by Gameboy Six ran.

Two heavy tunnels, in course of construction, prevent the speedy opening of the whole line. The Lea tunnel is 800 yards in length, The Fawley tunnel 530 yards. The latter is about four miles from Ross, and further on is the heavy one at Ballingham of 1,200 yards. The line crosses the river Wye at Eign, where the works are progressing, and the bridges and other works are in an advanced state. In a short time three lines will thus converge at Hereford. WATERFORD AND LIMERICK. The extension of this company's line from Fiddown to Dunkitt, having been approved by the Government Inipector, is to be opened this week. . HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. ( Front the Regietrar-Generars.Report. ) The total number of deaths registered in London, which in the preceding week was 984, rose in the week that ended on Saturday to 1,053. Excluding from the comparison the corresponding week of 1849, in which cholera raised the mortality from all causes to 2,451, it appears that the result of last week does not differ mate rially from the average as corrected for increase of popu lation.

Lupin's Jovence by Sting, 3 yrs, 7st 41b GREAT BOAT RACE. James Candlish, the champion of the Tyne, and 'James Messenger, of Teddington, yesterday contended for 2001. over the usual aquatic course for great events, from Put ney to Mortlake. This race had for a considerable time past created great interest among all classes of rowing. men, and was one upon which large sums of money were speculated. Candlish's renown had been confined to his' own as neighbouring waters until last season, when he was backed against Thomas Mackinney, of Richmond, and won on two occasions so well that he was backed against his present antagonist, whose superiority of style, coupled with pace, will place him deservedly next to the champion of the London river. In age they differed but little, nor was there any advantage worth speaking of in weight, Candlish being 26 years old, and rowing at 10st., while his opponent numbered but two more years, and an increase of 41b. A great number of north country gentlemen came up to town to see the event, and the assemblage of persons altogether consisted of many thousands. There were six steamers accom panying the race, besides a hundred boats of other descriptions, and anxious spectators of every grade lined the towing-path and covered the bridges. The neces sary preliminaries having been arranged, the two men, took their stations off the Star and Garter, and were soon at work. Messenger jumped off with a slight lead from the Middlesex station, and off the Messrs. Searles' had drawn himselt clear. A most determined and gal lant race followed. As Candlish went on he appeared to get more in rowing form, and, overlapping his oppo nent's stern-post, threatened again and again a change of positions, amid the deafening cheers of the spectators, but as often as he got near his opponent's sculls, the effort was met by a corresponding effort on the- part of Messenger. Despite the most extraordinary and gal lant efforts made by Candlish, his opponent passed under Hammersmith-bridge a clear length ahead, and although frequently menaced by the desperate spurts of his oppo nent, Messenger continued to lead, and finally won by above a clear length, after be;ng retarded by a foul just before coming in. Candlish, who exhibited the most determined game to the very close of the match, was very much distressed by his exertions at the finish. The race was rowed with an indifferent tide in 244 minutes, and the winner's style of rowing was the theme of gene ral admiration. Betting was for the most part even, butt in some instances 5 to 4 on Messenger. THE ARMY.—Captain John Jago, Lieut. Hon. J. Colborne, Lieut. H. R. Wolrige, Ensign W. J. Hunt, Ensign G. K.

LORD CAMPBELL MID HIS GALWAY TENANTRY.— The Galway Packet says :—" Lord Campbell will enter tain his Moycullen tenantry at a public banquet in the large school-room of Moycullen on next Monday. We have heard that the invitations amount to four hun dred. He will also entertain his Barna tenantry in a similar manner during the ensuing week. This speaks well for the future career of Lord Campbell as an Irish landlord. We have also been informed that he has en gaged a female teacher to instruct the daughte rs o f hi s tenantry in sewing and embro idery. Should his lord ship proceed in this course of conciliation and kindness, there will not be more promptly paid rents nor a more happy tenantry in Ireland."

The invitation has been accepted by Sir Joseph, and will take place at about the end of the month, and will be held at the Concert-room. The immediate occasion of the en tertainment arose from the gallant general passing through Gloucester on his way to Ledbury, in order to visit his relations. At Ledbury he was received with a hearty welcoming peal of bells ; and at Dymock, where he visited his n e ph ew , J. C am Th ac k we ll, E sq ., similar demonstrations took place. On passing through Glou cester on his return to Clifton he was waited upon by the mayor, when the invite was given and accepted, and the I festival will be carried out with becoming sprit.
