IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS--(YESTERDAY.) EXPENSES OF ELECTIONS' BILL. On the motion of going into committee on this bill, On clause 1, Mr. BARROW moved the omission of words, so as to limit the responsibility of the candidate to acts done by himself, and not leave him liable for the misconduct of an agent of whose proceedings he had been quite in the dark. Mr. MULLINGS consented to strike the objection able words out. After a few words from Mr. HENLEY and Mr. VERNON SMITH, the amendment was agreed to. Some other amendments were made, and the clause was then passed. On clause 2, relating to bells and bell-ringers, a long discussion took place, and after a division upon some verbal alterations, and a promise by Mr. Mullings that on the bringing up of the report he would endeavour to further amend the clause in order to meet the views of hon. members, the question was put that the clause as amended be passed. Col. SIBTHORP moved that the clause be rejected. The committee then divided, when the numbers were— For the clause Against it l7-82 The clause was then agreed to as was also clause 4. The remaining clauses of the bill then agreed to, and the house resumed. PROBATE OF WILLS AND ADMINISTRATION BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Dr. PHILLIMORE appealed to the hon. gentleman the member for Sheffield (who had charge of the bill) whether, after the statement of the Government last night, he would press the bill at the present time. Mr. HUME thought this was a reform per se, and he thought there was no occasion for waiting for the Go vernment, especially after the delay which had taken place in introducing the Government measure, for which no adequate reason had yet been given. Mr. HADFIELD said the bill had been approved of by most eminent authorities in the three kingdoms, and he should certainly not relinquish it unless some more satisfactory assurances were given by the Govern ment that they would take the matter up in earnest. Mr. HENLEY thought if the bill were carried into law it would lead to the greatest confusion. Mr. CROSLEY said that as none of tie members of the Government were present, he should move that the con sideration of this bill be adjourned until this day week. The motion was agreed to, and the debate adjourned. SIMONY LAW AMENDMENT BILL. Dr. PHILLIMORE moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which was to prevent for the future, the next presentation to any benefice. Up to the time of the Reformation, the repression of this offence had been left to the censure of the ecclesiastical power, but the earliest acts of some our most pious reformed monarchs had been directed against this offence. The house had always dealt with this subject in the largest spirit, conceiv ing always that the spiritual trust was essential, and the rights of property only accidental. At present, ac cording ?to the canon law, it was simony to sell the liv ing when it was empty ; but if it was sold while the present holder was alive, though he might be on his death-bed, and only have 25 minutes to live, it was a valid contract. (Hear.) The scandal that this practice led to in the church was most prejudicial to its real interests, as every one must acknowledge who read the newspapers in which the advertisements for the sale of livings appeared in such numbers. He had care fully guarded the bill, so as to make it prospective and not retrospective, and he should be perfectly willing to receive any alteration in committee. Mr. BOUVERIE moved the adjournment of the de bate, as there was important business on the paper. Sir R. H. INGLIS thought that the motion for ad journment of the debate ought to have been moved before the speech of the hon. and learned gentleman, Mr. BUTT said this was not so much a bill far the m endment of the law of simony as to make that simony for the future which was not simony now. The bill interfered with the rights of property in a most unjustifiable manner. He differed from the prin ciple of the bill, and also from the details by which the principle was carried out. He yielded to no man in his desire to advance the spiritual welfare of the people and the efficiency of the Established Church. The hon. and learned gentleman had taken extreme and exceptional, cases for the groundwork of the bill, and instead of pro viding for these cases only he had dealt with the general system of Church patronage on these exceptional princi ples. Mr. MALINS supported the adjournment. Mr. WILSON hoped the debate would be adjourned before six o'clock, because the Government had some Customs resolutions to pass before the rising of the house. Mr. BANKES said that Wednesday was a day pecu liarly set apart for private members, and he was not disposed to give way to the Government. If they had wished for an adjournment it should have been moved be fore the speech of the hon. and learned gentleman the mem ber for Tavistock (Mr. Phillimore). He intended to speak till six o'clock, and he hoped the lesson would be of use and profit to the Government. (Cries of " Oh.") He was in possession of the house and they could not prevent him. The right hon. gentleman continued to speak until six o'clock, when the house adjourned. X message from the Lords, announced yesterday to the Commons that they have agreed to the following bills :—Malicious Injuries (Ireland) ; Wimpole, Wrest lin,,,,worth, and Potton Road ; Hull and Holderness Railway ; Glasgow and South Western Railway (No. 2) ; Rochester Bridge, without amendment. South Eastern Railway (North Kent Railway to the Thames, &c.), with an amendment. That they have passed a bill, intituled, "An Act for continuing and amending the Act for facilitating the Sale and Transfer of Encumbered Estates in Ireland." Also, a bill, intituled, "An Act for incorporating the Trustees of the Bingley Free Grammar and General Education Schools, and other Charities at Bingley, in the county of York , for autho rising the Sale, Exchange, or Mortgage, by the Trustees, when incorporated, of the several Estates belonging to the said Schools and Charities, respectively situate in the parishes of Bingley and Bradford, both in the said county of York, and for other purposes relating to the said Schools and Charities." STATE OF TRADE. (Front the Manchester Guardian of yesterday.) MANCHESTER, July s.—The effect of the advices by the overland mail is to confirm the merchants connected with India and China in that policy of inaction which they have latterly adopted. There is, therefore, hardly so much firmness as there was in shirtings for the for mer quarter, and those adopted for the latter may be had on rather lower terms. In mule yarns for India, how ever, there is no change. The buyers of yarns and goods for the European continent have shown, by their ex treme caution, that they are influenced by the nearer approach of a crisis in Turkish affairs ; and yet the prices of the yarns in which they deal continue very steady. In all classes of yarns, the supply of which is affected by " turn outs," price is found to he affected also. The greatest effect is seen in pin-cops for domestics and other coarse goods ; and in a less degree, in 24's and 28's warps. The diminished production of 14's to 18's pin-cops in Stockport and Manchester, has enabled those who can sell for speedy delivery, to obtain an ad vance of id. per lb. upon the prices that were current prior to the cessation of work at the former place. The makers of domestics and T cloths are now commanding a fair advance. The abandonment of these fabrics in favour of lighter makes, which has been so long pursued by manufacturers, is now telling upon the heavier cloths ; but the rise in these is more than absorbed by the ad vance in the yarn from which they are made ; so that the parties most nearly concerned are actually in a worse position than that which they previously occupied—such of them, at any rate, as do not spin, and they form the greater proportion. ROCHDALE, JULY 4.—The market has been dull and inactive to-day, with little or no change in prices. In wool there has been very little doing ; the manufactur ers keep out of the market, and seem disposed to wait and see the result of the very heavy wool sales adver tised to take place in London this month. HALIFAX, JULY 2.—The attendance in our piece-hall has been very slender to-day, and the transactions in worsted goods, of all sorts, are very limited, both there and in the warehouses, the aspect of affairs in ithe East being such as greatly to curtail commercial operations. The same cause produces similar effects in the yarn and wool markets, and the prices of wool are quoted some what tower. BIRMINGHAM, July 4.—A further reducti on o f 20s. per ton on all manufactured iron was resolved upon at the preliminary meeting of the trade, held at the Stew pony Inn, near Stourbridge , o n Thursda y last, and very numerously attended. This result has been matter of surprise to some, as it was scarcely expected without an attempt to diminish the cost of production ; and it is argued that, as would now appear, iron can be profitably sold at the rates usually realised under a nominal declara tion of 91. per ton for bars, with colliers' wages at ss. per day, and puddlers and furnace-men advanced from thirty to forty per cent., it may reasonably be asked why have the consuming public been so long gulled ? The poor dupes who have latterly been paying their 10/. and 11/. per ton have just cause of complaint. The workmen also will not be backward in making a note for their future guidance, and the proprietors of mines will have a better idea of the royalties to be demanded hereafter. The principal reasons adduced for adopting the present step eeem to have been the importunate solicitations of customers, the probable competition of the new pro ducing districts, and the impracticability of maintaining for marked bars an excess of 30s or 40s per ton above the quotations of inferior makes. Great complaints have also been latterly made of the over-production of pig iron, and we are informed that an effort was made at the meeting, by the leading pig-makers present, to ar range for a gen era l blowing -out of a certain proportion of their furnaces ; but with the result of their delibera tions we have not y e t been made acquainted. The prices of iron as now declared are—bars, 9/. , hoops, ' 10/. ; and sheets, 11 /. per ton but it is notorious that bee n many, even large makers, had selling n at previously 81 . Sc., and pigs had been bought at 8/. ss. ith the last few days a bette r feeling bad, ho wever, been spring ing up, More firmness was exhibited in general. MOT LONDON WATERWORKS.—Yesterday the c ora _ mittee, of which Lord Kinnaird is chairman, passed this company's measure for constructing new reservoi rs at Waltharastow, for the supply of Enfield, Waltham, and the surrounding districts with pure water. Thi, supply will be pumped from the river Lea into the reser. voirs at Walthamstow, and be supplied by gravitation to the Aurrounding distncts! CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Talfourd.) THE CASE OF ABORTION AT CLAPHAM. (Continued from our first edition of yesterday.) The case for the prosecution being concluded, Mr. Justice Talfourd intimated his opinion that the evidence was not sufficient to connect the prisoner Currie with the specific act imputed to the prisoners by the present indictment, and the counsel for that pri soner was not called upon to address the jury. Mr. Sergeant Miller addressed the jury for Cunning ham, and after entreating them not to allow the preju dices which must naturally be created by circumstances attending this case to operate in their minds, he pro ceeded to contend that the evidence was not sufficient to justify a conviction upon such a serious charge. He commented at considerable length upon the medical tes timony, and urged the possibility, even supposing the story told by the prosecution to be true, that the pri soner might have been deceived, as the other medical men had been, with regard to her symptoms, and that he had exercised the best skill he possessed to relieve her, and he said that although he might have been mistaken, still, he said, that would not justify his conviction upon a charge like the present. Mr. Robinson also addressed the jury on behalf of the other prisoner, Thomas, and he went over a great many of the arguments used by the learned sergeant, contend ing that the case against him was much lighter than against the other prisoners, and that there was no proof that he had the slightest knowledge of what was going on, or of any of the proceedings, whatever they were, that were taken by Cunningham. Mr. Justice Talfourd then summed up the whole case in the most careful and minute manner, and the jury, after deliberating for about twenty minutes, returned a verdict of " Guilty" against Cunningham, and acquitted the other two prisoners. The prisoner was at once called up for judgment, and the learned judge, after expressing his entire concur rence in the verdict of the jury, said there could be no doubt that he had been guilty ha the particular instance before the court, but there was too much reason to be lieve that he had been carrying on a wicked trade, and that he had abused the noble science to which he be longed, for the most base purposes. Under such cir cumstances, his duty left him no alternative but to pass a severe sentence, which was, that he be transported for fifteen years. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. —Elizabeth Chambers, a middle aged woman, and Mary Delap, who appeared to be about fourteen years of age, were brought before the Lord Mayor upon suspicion of having hocussed a little girl (name unknown) aged thirteen. A female, in passing the bottom of the Minories yes terday morning, at eight o'clock, saw a crowd, and hearing that two little girls were drunk, she went amongst the people. She then observed a young female, who seemed to be intoxicated, in the company of the two prisoners, who seemed desirous to leave her. The conduct of the prisoners upon the occasion was such as to induce the complainant to deliver them up to the care of a policeman. The girl, who seemed to have been victimised and abused, complained that one of the pri soners had taken five shillings from her, and it was found necessary to take her to a medical man in the neighbourhood, who, after a careful examination, stated, in a certificate to the Lord Mayor, that " she was brought in in a state of unconsciousness, in fact in a state approaching narcotism ; that the stomach-pump having been used under the impression that she had been drugged, consciousness partly returned, and that she had since been forwarded to the hospital in a very precarious state." The younger prisoner had stated that the little girl was her sister, and the elder one had declared that she accidentally saw the two children drinking in a public-house together, and that she sup posed they were nearly related, and partook of a little of the good cheer without the least ill intention. The policeman said the child of whom so alarming an account had been given had been evidently stupified, and in a basket which the elder prisoner carried, there were bottles, some of which contained a liquid which it might be necessary to have tested. The Lord Mayor gave particular directions with re spect to the child in the hospital, and remanded the pri soners. The younger prisoner, it was stated, had said, upon being alluded to as the person who had stolen the 58., that she was not in possession of a halfpenny in the world. The policeman, however, found in her pocket 7s. 31-d. Two men, named Griffin. and Davies. were brought before the Lord Mayor, in the custody of Inspector Mitchell, charged with having been concerned with five other persons who have been already examined, with respect to an extensive robbery on the premises of Mr. Fitch, wholesale stationer. Mr. Lewis attended for the prosecution, and examined several witnesses, and the prisoners were remanded. THREATENING THE EARL OF ABERDEEN. Thomas Whitehead, an artist, was brought before Mr. Henry, at the Bow-street Police-office, yesterday after noon, charged with sending a threatening letter to the Earl of Aberdeen. _ _ Mr. Reynolds, the solicitor to the Treasury, conducted the prosecution. Mr. Clinton Geo. Dawkins, the private secretary of Lord Aberdeen, proved that he received the letter pro duced on the 16th of June. It was addressed to his lordship, and signed "Thomas Whitehead." It was subsequently placed in the hands of the police authorities. Superintendent Pearce, F division, deposed that he waited upon the prisoner at his lodgings, 57, Great Wild street, on the 23d and 27th June. He had some con versation with the prisoner, who admitted that he was the writer of the letter to Lord Aberdeen, and com plained that he had been prosecuted by different Go vernments year after year. He said that he had made frequent complaints upon the subject, but to no pur pose. Witness understood him to say that the detec tive police had been instructed to keep a constant watch upon him. The Chief Clerk read the letter in question. It was very long, and dwelt upon some unexplained persecution to which the writer imagined himself subject, and for the removal of which he said he had applied in vain to several Cabinets in succession. The following is an extract : " I know not, my lord, what you may have to say about these illegal and unwarrantable proceedings ; but this I say, that there is and can be but one inference drawn therefrom, and that is, that the Government seem to have wanted, and it would appear that they do want still, to make a victim of me, and consequently they have done everything they can to provoke me to crime. I have been by them reduced to the greatest depths of misery : for five years and a half I have endured these ineffable privations with a patience and a fortitude that I believe there would be scarcely one in a thousand to do the same. But, my lord, human patience has its bounds, and these bounds have already been passed. Everything has been done to blast my good name, and, not satisfied with that, every thing has been done to deprive me of the commonest means of existence. Beware, my lord, what you do in this mat ter ; for if the saying be true that ' self preservation is the first law of nature,' then, my lord, you have reduced me to a most painful alternative. Your policy, my lord, like your predecessors in this affair, has been, and still is, most pernicious and subversive. You have taught a lesson of implacable vindictiveness and of unprecedented pertinacious cruelty that will be cherished by thousands with a savage satisfaction till the latest day of their death. You have sown the wind,' and if your lordship should persist in the same suicidal course, you must not be surprised if you should one day reap the whirl-wind.' You have, my lord, like your predecessors, returned me evil for good, and that too in such a sweeping manner that I have been completely ruined thereby ; and I can only say that if this facinerous flood of evil is to continue, then, my lord, you will compel me to retaliate out of self-defence ; and if I should be goaded on to do that out of self-defence which my soul abhors, remember, my lord, that the guilt will be upon your head, and the heads of your colleagues.—l am, &c., THOS. WHITEHEAD.-57, Great Wild-street, Lincoln's inn-Fields.—The Right Hon. the Earl of Aberdeen." (During the reading of the letter the chief clerk was once or twice assisted in the interpretation of doubtful words by the prisoner himself.) The prisoner admitted that he was the author of the letter. Mr. Dawkins expressed his belief that the Earl of Aberdeen was in danger of personal violence, from some of the language used therein. The prisoner—l cannot see that any such inference is to be drawn from any portion of the letter. Mr. Henry—The expression, "I shall be goaded on to do that which my soul abhors," is certainly calculated to justify such an apprehension. Can you explain it in any other way ? The prisoner— Since my claim of 1848 up to the moment when that letter was written, I have been con stantly watched and insulted by the secret police. Mr. Henry—l have heard your letter read from first to last ; but am wholly at a loss to know to what it alludes. ^ T The prisoner—lf lamto be dogged and assailed by the detective police, in every form of disguise, like a pack of hounds ; and if, besides their insulting bearing towards me, they are to circulate defamatory remarks to my prejudice, shall I not be justified in knocking that man down? Mr. Henry What man ? The prisoner —Any man who thus insults and degrades me. Mr. Hen The priso rY ne — r— Wh l haatvise y n o o u o r c b c zi: t e i s o s n. or calling ? In answer to further questions ' the prisoner stated that he had no relations i n L on d on , but he had a brother at Liverpool. He lost a fortune in 1847, and had been una ble to procure any vocation since, e es pionage of the secret police. And Lt will t only oot. thethe police, for in 1849 he found that the soldiers at he back of the National Gallery had their eye upom him, an d were arrayed against him. He did not wish his brother to be communicated. He only wanted it to be settled as between man and man. Mr. Henry—But what is it that you want settled'{ Has he ever complained of the police ? Superintendent Pearce said he had ascertained from the books at Scotland -yard, that the prisoner made some complaints respecting the dectective force two or three years ago, and also against some soldiers. They were inquired into by Mr. Beresford, but none of the con. stables knew anything of him. Mr. Henry—Has any medical gentleman ueen him ? Mr. Brooks, surgeon, of Bedford-street, Covent-gar den, stated that he had conversed with the prisoner, and upon the one one subject of espionage believed him to be decidedly of unsound mind. Ho was evidently labouring under a delusion. Mr. Henry—That is also my opinion. The prisoner —I was prepared for anything almost but laCh "mtowzdin aaaertiou as that. If thou govern. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY F EVEN ING, JULY 7, 1853. ments disbelieved my statements, why did they not put me to the proofs ? Mr. Henry directed that the prisoner should be re moved to St. Giles's Workhouse for the present. The people in whose house the prisoner has been lodging state that he was a remarkably quiet man, and of ragular habits, going out every morning and returning at night. Some time ago he went to Jersey to avoid the detective police, but fancying himself still pursued by them there, h e returned to London. He looked about 50 years old. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

THE SPITHEAD FLEET. Portsmouth and its vicinity has had a large accession of visitors this week, owing to the rumour, which we noticed yesterday, of a review of the fleet by the Queen, accompanied by the distinguished visitors from foreign courts now in town, and great will, doubtlessly, be the disappointment when to-morrow (the day appointed by rumour) arrives and no movement of a review character takes place among the ships quietly at anchor off the town. However, " it's an ill wind that blows nobody good," says the proverb, and the hotel keepers will pro bably not be sorry at the origin of the reports. So large a force being in such close contiguity to the town neces sarily causes a rise in articles of domestic consumption, and the supplies drawn from the markets relieve them of a large proportion of their edible commodities. As this, however, is a benefit to the trade of the port, no one complains but those of small fixed incomes, who cannot participate in the advantages of commercial spe culation. A movement of the fleet seaward is daily— nay, we may with propriety say hourly—expected, and, we believe, most of the ships are equipped and ready for sailing. Men, however, are still wanting. The victualling of the fleet has been most expeditiously accomplished, all the resources of the Royal Clarence yard, Gosport, having been for some time past in full operation. From 1,000 to 1,500 tons of water were supplied from that depot by means of lighters in about 48 hours, together with pro visions for four months for each ship. Much credit is due to Mr. Davies, R.N., the master-attendant, and Mr. Pinhornf, R.N., the storekeeper of the Clarence-yard, for the unwearied activity they have displayed in carry ing out their orders, while all their assistants and em ployes have seconded them with the readiest zeal. The whole worked early and late over hours, not even avail ing themselves of the general holiday on the Coronation day. The fleet is the first object of attraction now at the port, and is a source of great pecuniary benefit to the watermen, as none of the ships lie nearer than three miles from the " Point" or "Hard." The ships are now moored more equidistant from each other than on their first anchoring on Saturday. The Sidon having shipped a new mainmast with much alacrity and dismantled her sprung one, went out to Spithead again about eight o'clock last night, and took up her station at the head of the paddle steamers forming the starboard division of the fleet, which is now ranged thus : WEST.

The Black Eagle Admiralty yacht also left port this morning in the same direction, and the Blenheim, 60 (screw), has her steam up to follow them to Kings town. Her Majesty and the Court, as well as the offi cers of the yacht, will have a more comfortable voyage this trip than hitherto, owing to the use of the anthra cite fuel, with Colonel Coffin's steam jets fitted to her furnaces, by which no smoke or ashes issue from the funnel—thus abolishing the nuisances of smuts in the eyes and on the clothes of all on deck, and covering the decks with the dust from the flues which the ordinary coal throws upon them. WOOLWICH, JULY 6. APPOINTMENTS. Lieutenant—GrabLi J. Eden (1853), to the Terrible, paddle-wheel steam-frigate, at Woolwich. Mate—Henry H. Beamish (1851), to the Excellent, gunnery-ship, at Portsmouth. Midshipman—W. E. Brinckman, to the Victory, flag ship, at Portsmouth. Second Masters.—James H. Ryan, to the Arrogant screw steam-frigate, at Portsmouth ; Thomas S. Neill (1848), to the Sybille, 40, at Devonport. Naval Cadet.—E. H. Seymour, to the Terrible. The Simoom steam troop-ship, Captain Henry Smith, left Greenhithe at 2 o'clock yesterday morning, and will call at Plymouth on her passage to Malta. The crew of the Rhadamanthus steam-troop and store ship, Master Commander Belam, were paid down at this port to-day, and the vessel was to leave Woolwich for Chatham in the afternoon. The Wildfire steam-vessel left to-day for Sheerness. The Monkey steam-vessel went up to Deptford yes terday, and towed down the Pigmy and two other ves sels from that dockyard to Woolwich. The Lightning steam-vessel, Master Commander Henry W. Allen, has been taken into the dry dock to laave her bottom examined. DEATH OF ADMIRAL SIR CHARLES BIILLE/T, G.C.8., K.C.H. We yesterday reported the death of Admiral of the Blue Sir Charles Bullen, G.C.8., K.C.H., of South ampton, aged 85, a most distinguished officer, who, ac cording to O'Byrne's Naval Biography, had seen 58 y ears' full and half-pay service, having entered the navy in 1779, at the age of 10 years, as first-class volunteer, on board the Europe, 64. We have only room for a skeleton outline of the gallant deceased's brilliant career. ?Lie was midshipman of the Loyalist sloop, and the Halifax, and took part in various operations on the American coast, including the reduction of Charlestown in 1781 ; was acting lieutenant of the Culloden, 74, at the attack on Martinique ; was lieutenant of the Ramil- , lies, 74, and shared in the fame of Howe's actions of the 28th and 29th of May and Ist of June, 1794; senior lieu tenant of the Monmouth, 64, at the battle of Camperdown, arid took possession of the Delft, one of two 50-gun ships th.s,t had struck to the Monmouth ; he wan flag captain to Earl Northesk in the Britannia, 100, at the battle of Trafalgar ; and subsequently commanded tt le Volontaire, 38:, and Cambrian, 40, in co-operation with the patriots oil the coast of Catalonia, in 181041 ; in 1.323 he hoisted a bread pendant on boa rd the Maidstoner 12, as com.. modore in command of the squadron on the West Coast of Africa, and co-operated with Colonel Sutherland most actively during the Ashantee war ; in 1830 he was ap pointed superintendent of Pembroke Dockyard and captain of the King's yacht Royal Sovereign, both of which appointments he retained until promoted to the rank •f Rear-Admiral, 1837. By this death an admiral's pension of 3001. per annum for good and meritorious services, the Commander-in-Chief on the Irish station, and an aide-de-campship to the Queen fall to the patron age of the Admiralty, and the following promotions ensue : Vice-Admiral of the Red Sir Hugh Pigot, K.C.8., K.C.H., to be Admiral of the Blue. Vice-Admiral of the White Sir Thomas John Coch rane, K.C.8., Commander-in-Chief at Portsmouth, to be Vice-Admiral of the Red. Vice-Admiral of the Blue Sir E. C. Strode, K.C.8., K.C.H., to be Vice-Admiral of the White. Rear-Admiral of the Red John Brett Purvis, Com mander-in-Chief at Queenstown, to be Vice-Admiral of the Blue. Rear-Admiral of the White A. R. Sharpe, C. 8., to be Rear-Admiral of the Red. Rear-Admiral of the Blue Arthur Fanshawe, C. 8., Superintendent of Portsmouth Dockyard, to be Rear- Admiral of the White. Captain the Hon. R. S. Dundas, C. 8., A.D.C., one of the Lords of the Admiralty, to he Rear-Admiral of the Blue. This leaves Commodore Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, G.C.H., the seniority for his flag. We believe Admiral Bullen was the last of the ad mirals who shared in the glories of Trafalgar. THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO DUBLIN.—THE ROYAL SQUADRON ESCORT.—The Royal Squadron, consisting of the Victoria and Albert, Captain W. Crispin ; the Fairy, tender, Master Commander David N. Welch ; the Black Eagle, Admiralty yacht, Master Commander John E. Petley ; and Blenheim, 58, screw guard-ship, Captain W. H. Henderson, C. 8., left Portsmouth yes terday, to be in attendance on her Majesty during her visit to the Dublin Exhibition. The Victoria and Al bert, Fairy, and Black Eagle to proceed to Holyhead ; the Blenheim direct to Dublin. The Royal yachts went out of harbour at twelve precisely. The Blenheim left Spithead under steam and canvas, at five p.m., taking the east channel outside the Nab. The Magicienne, 16, paddle steam-frigate, Captain Thomas Fisher, and Va lorous, 16, paddle steam-frigate, Captain Buckle, at Devonport, were ordered on Tuesday, by electric tele graph, to hold themselves in readiness for immediate service. All their officers, in consequence, received orders not to quit their ships except on duty. Both these vessels will form part of the steam squadron to accompany her Majesty to Dublin. They will join the other ships under the command of Commodore Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, off Devonport, on their way down Channel for Holyhead, where her Majesty, with his Royal Highness Prince Albert and suite, will em bark in the Victoria and Albert, on Tuesday. NEW SCREW-SHIPS.—The Admiralty have ordered three screw line-of-battle ships and three 50-gun screw frigates to be built. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. ( From the Registrar-General's Report.) The number of deaths registered in the metropolitan districts in the week that ended last Saturday was 1,103. The advance which it shows on previous returns arises from coroners' cases, many of which were not duly re gistered till the end of the quarter, though the deaths occurred and the inquests were held at dates antecedent to last week. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1843-52 the average number of deaths was 922, which, if raised in proportion to increase of population during these years and up to the present time, becomes 1,014. The actual mortality of last week, therefore, ex hibits an excess on the estimated amount of 89. Fatal cases arising from zymotic or epidemic diseases are at present, as regards the whole class, fewer than usual, the total number being 203, while the corrected average is 244. Hooping-cough, which numbers 47, is the most fatal amongst the diseases incident to children ; its average is 33. To small-pox, from which London has lately been comparatively free, only 3 deaths are referred ; to measles, 22 ; to scarlatina, 31 ; to croup, 5 ; to diar rhoea, 28 ; to dysentery, 6 ; to scurvy, 1 ; to ague, 2 ; to infantile remittent fever, 4 ; to typhus, &c., 38 ; to rheumatic fever, 1 ; to erysipelas, 7 ; to syphilis, 4. In the south sub-district of St. Giles's-in-the-Fields, at 2, Little White Lion-street, on the 29th of June, a boy, aged 3 years, died of "diarrhoea." There was no medi cal attendant. Mr. Faulkner, the registrar, says — "This child has been sadly neglected. Not being satis fied with the cause of death as reported, I visited the place and found the child in a most emaciated condition. It had been ill for a long time, and had not received the slightest attention for the last month." An inquest will be held. In the sub-district, Leather-market, Bermondsey, at Smith's-buildings, on 27th and 28th June, two daughters of a wood-sawyer, aged respectively 3 and 5 years, died of " Scarlatina maligna." Mr. Cross, the registrar, ob serves—" These, with a previous death, make three that I have registered in the same family in one week from scarlatina. Two other children are ill with it, and one not likely to recover." At 7, Bowman's-place, North Holloway, on 25th June, the daughter of a labourer, aged 1 year and 3 months, died of " exhaustion from excessive vomiting." Mr. Butterfield, the registrar, states that " this child was prescribed for, and took medicine supplied by, a chemist and druggist, and was buried at Holloway Chapel ground without a certificate. There was no in quest nor post-mortem examination.' Three deaths occurred from typhus, all on the same day (the 28th of June), in the London Fever Hospital. With reference to one patient, who was moribund on admission, and died 12 hours after, Mr. Watts remarks, that "this is too frequently the case; the patient is not brought to the hospital till his condition is hopeless." The following deaths from carbuncle were registered in the week :—At Hammersmith, on 24th June, a gen tleman, aged 73 years, " carbuncle on the neck (24 days)." A surgeon, aged 52 years, died on the 27th of June, of " carbuncle (37 days), pleuro-pericardial in flammation, and facial suppurations." Some additional cases are selected from the returns : —At 6, Park-cottages, New Cross-road, Deptford, on 24th June, the son of a Wesleyan minister, aged one year, died of "poisonous effluvia arising from defective drainage, diarrhoea the consequence (14 days)." At the Workhouse, Coripice-row, on 28th June, the wife of a labourer, aged 2:3 years, died of "fright from fire." Six deaths are ascribed to cases of intemperance. Last week the births of 856 boys and 855 girls, in all 1,711 children, were registered in London. The average number in eight corresponding weeks of the years 1845-52 was 1,338. _ _ At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29'578 in. The reading of the barometer decreased from 29 . 58 in. at the beginning of the week to 29 - 50 in. by 9h. p.m. on the 26th ; remained at this reading nearly till 9h. p.m. on the 27th ; incremcd to 29 . 64 in. by 9h. a.m. on the 28th ; decreased to 29.48 in. by 9h. p.m. on the same day ; increased to 29 . 64 in. by 9h. p.m. on the 29th ; decreased to 29.56 in. by 3h. p.m. on the 30th ; and in creased to 30 . 02 in .by the end of the week. The mean temperature of the week was 59.1 deg., which is 5.4 deg. lower than the avt ;rage of corresponding weeks in 38 years. The mean daily temperature was below the average on every di y of the week, except Tuesday, when it was 2.4 deg. aboi -e it. On Friday and Saturday, the depression amountec Ito about 6 deg. The highest tem peratures occurred .on Wednesday and Thursday, and were about 70.5 deg'. ; the lowest occurred on Friday and Saturday, and .vt ere about 48 . 5 deg. The greatest difference between he dew point temperature and the air temperature occurred on Thursday, and was 16 . 1 deg. ; the least on Sunday, and was I'4 deg. ; the mean difference of the wee k was B'2 deg.

A party of the Thames police were near, and on being hailed, two of the officers left.their galley, and conveyed the deceased ashore. Mr. Wright, the sexton, was soon brought from his residence in Fountain -court, and having procured a shell, the body was conveyed to the Savoy dead-house for inquest, and, if possible, to be recognised by her friends and relatives. lhe poor creature was of short stature, with a light cotton gown, and about 36 years of age, it is supposed. Neither her shawl nor bonnet could be found, and it is believed that she was one of the unfortunate class prowling the streets at night for a livelihood, and is supposed to be the same female observed sitting in the upper Middlesex recess of the bridge at A late hour ou Tuesday night. 6 12, 6 121 PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS.
