Bradbury and Evans, 11, Bouverie-street. Naval and Military lntelu►gcnce. . The fame of the great clipper ships James Baines and Champion of the Seas having reached her Ma jesty through the public journals and the reports of the authorities, and those ships being now within convenient reach of the Court at Osborne, her Ma jesty yesterday morning communicated her desire to the naval and military Commanders-in-Chief at Portsmouth that the embarkation of the troops might not take p'ace until she had inspected them and the ships destined t o carry them to their desti nation. Accordingly intmation was given to Capt. M‘Dontiell, of the James Ba'nes, and Capt. M`Kiraly, of the Champion of the 'Seas, by the Port Admiral of the Queen's in'ention. ° a pt. Bird, of the Lady Jocelyn, one of the European and American Steam Corap , ny's ships, also received an inf illation that her Majesty would visit her ou the same occasion. Each eiv"iii got his ship in order for the Itoyal inspection and made every preparation to receive her Majesty. Other troops, not going out in those ships (the 42d. and 24th regiment), were also commanded to be in review order in the dockyard by half-pasts, as the Queen would inspect them prior to going onboard the ships. At a quar ter to 6 Ihe Royal steam yacht Fairy, Captain the Hon. J. Denman, having on board the Queen, Prince Consort, the Princess Royal, and Prince Alfted, arrived off Portsmouth harbour. The usual Royal salutes were fired by the squadron at Spit head and in harbour, and at 6 the Royal party landed at the new Ring's-stairs of the clockyArd, -where her Majesty was received by Admiral Sir G. Seymour, K. C. 8., Major-General the Hon. Sir J. Y. Scarlett, K GB., and Stiff, Rear-Admiral Mar tin, Col. Foster, R.E Aide-de-Camp to the Queen ; Lieut.-Col. Wright, Assistant-Quartermaster-Gene ral of the South-West District • Capt. Seymour, C. B. ; Major Nelson, Brigade-Major,- Captain Breton, Town-Major; Dr. Bell, Staff-Surgeon of the District ; Lieuf. Hall, Director of Police ; Flag Lieuts. Malcom and Brandreth, &c. The Royal Marine Artillery kept the ground, and the 42d and 34th. were formed in line from the King's stairs to the parade-ground leading to the gat s, along the face of Vie storehouses and c lo c k tower, . . under which a temporary inspecting stage, with standard staff, was placed for the Royal circle. The 54th were posted from the Pitch-house jetty to the Shears jetty, alongside of which the James Baines, Lady Jocelyn, and Champion of the Seas were moored. Her Majesty having walked along the front of the line of the 42d and 34th took up her position on the Royal stage, and the troops marched past in slow and quick time, the bands playing their regimental airs as they passed. Lieu tenant-Colonel Cameron commanded the 42d, and Lieut.-Colonel Kelly the 34th. Major-General Scarlett was her Majesty's escort in this inspection ; after which the Royal visitors were conducted to the Lady Jocelyn. At the gangw a y Captain Bird received her Majesty, and conducted her round the ship and between decks, of the elegant and costly fitting and hapdsome accommodation of which vessel the Queen and Prince expressed their admira tion. On leaving the Lady Jocelyn her Majesty bowed her thanks, and was conducted by Colonel Wright to the James Baines ; her Majesty was re ceived by Captain M‘Dounell, and Mr. T. M. Mackay, the owner, at the gangway, and conducted by them over this noble clipper. Her Majesty per sonally examined the dry and meat provisions sup plied for the officers and troops, and expressed her satisfaction at their excellence. She afterwards ascended to the poop and took a view of the great length of deck, thence descended to the troop deck, and walked round it, perhaps the most won derful and unexampled between deck her Majesty ever visit ed,!and which appearedto create her lively surprise. On ascending to the quarter-deck her Majesty thanked Captain M‘Dop.neil, who had wel comed her Majesty to the James Baines, and left in her yacht tor Osborne at 7 p.m , cheered by thousands of her people afloat and on shore. The 54th are embarking in the Lady Jocelyn, and leave to-day for India. The Duke oeCambridgo, as General Command ing-in-Chief, attended ,by the usual staff, will leave town this morning for Aldershot, to inspect the troops in camp. The whole of the troops are ordered to be drawn up in the Long Valley at 10 a.m. Three companies of the Pout Guards—viz., one company of the Ist battalion of Grenadier Guards, one company of the Ist battalion, and one company of the 2d battalion of the Scots Fusilier Guards, ar rived at Aldershot yesterday for the purpose of going through a course of rifle practice. A garrison order was yesterday issued at Wool wich, directing the following troops and companies to be held in readiness forservice inlndia .—Lieut.- Col. Tu'rner's troop of Royal Horse Artillery, to proceed to Calcutta ; Major the Hon. D. Fraser's C battery, to embark at Cork, for service at Bom bay ; Captain R. P. Radcliffe's T battery for Cal cutta, Captain A. F. Conneli's X battery for Bom bay, and Captain J. R. G.labou'a Q battery for Calcutta. The official staff pertaining to the Royal Artillery now to be de'patched to India wilt be composed of the following :—Major-General J. E. Dupuis, R.A., C. 8., m chief command ; Lieutenant-Col. Miller Adye, Assistant Adjutant-General; Captain Calvert, Deputy Assistant-Quartermaster -General ; Captain King, Aide-de-Camp to General Dupuis ; Col. Wood, (.8., to command the Royal Horse Artillery at Bengal ' • Col. Rid ell, to command the field batteries at Calcutta ; and Col. Price, to com mand the field batteries at Bombay. Two addi tional tro Ts of Royal Horse Artillery are likewise ordered to be in readiness to embark forthwith for India. The steam-ship Sarah Sands has been chartered by the East India Company for the conveyance of troops to Calcutta, and although only accepted yea terday, she is actually under engagement to embark her troops at Portsmou!h on Saturday next, and will sail the same evening. Steam was got up on board yesterday to test her engines and boilers— which were found in perfect w o rking order. The screw ships Imperador and Imperatriz , hav ing been thoroughly fitted at Liverpool will sail from that port for Dublin to-day for the purpose of receiving troops for conveyance to India. The screw steamer Lebanon has been chartered at Liverpool for conveyance of troops to India. The corepanieg of Royal Marines at Woolwich, under orders for Cidna, were yesterday paraded in the barrack square in presence of Cal.-Commandant Brown a al the principal officers of Woolwich gar rison.- After proce,ditag through a careful and mi nute inspection of the contents of the knapsack, &c they w.:Te armed throughout .with the Enfield rifle. The colonel afterwards addressed the men in terms of encouragement, assuring them he had much plea sure in presiding at the delivery of so powerful a weapon into their hands at such a moment, when a new field of contest hal been forced on the British soldier. They were called upon at a short notice to proceed to China and ehast;se the barbarian natives for acts of cruelty seldocn recorded. That task was deputed principally to the R )yal Marines, whose reputation, already so triumphant, he felt confident would be increased tenfold by the new expedition. He told them he had the fullest confidence in their tried courage, as he was well acqtiainted with the individual bravery of almost every man in the corps. The whole force was subsequently assembled on Woolwich-common and pnt through a course of I battalion and marching drills.. Lord Panmure; accompanied by Lord Durham, Lord Leigh, Lord Goderich, Lord Lincoln, Lord , visited Wool- C w c r h n a A r v r Arsenal a and s a t e u rd u a m y er r o D u o s r n nagr, after which they ty repaired to the Town-hall to attend a meeting of the Woolwich Masonic Brethren, for the purpose of suggesting considerations for inaugurating a new masonic lodge, to be named the 4 , Nightingale Lodge." The entire body sat down at 5 o'clock to an elegant dinner at the Crown and Anchor Tavern. Mr. H. E. Bedford, third class clerk at White- Hall, has been appointed storekeeper at Sheerness, vice Whittle, retired on the superannuation list. Orders have been received at Chatham directing reinforcements for the 82d Regiment, ordered from China to India, to be held in readiness to embark for India. The detachment will number 100 non commissioned officers and men, and will be under the command of _Lieut. J. A. Brook of that corps. They are expected_to embark immediately. Several important changes are about to takeplace in the constitution of the Provisional Battalion at Chatham, consequent on the great number of addi tional troops andregiments which have been ordered to proceed to India. It is intended that each of the Indian depots stationed at Chatham garrison shall be formed into two-company depots, consisting of 200 men, with the proper proportion of non-com missioned officers and drummers, with two captains and four subalterns to each depot. The whole of the depots belonging to the Highland regiments in and proceeding to India will be removed from the Provisional Battalion at Chatham, to Scotland, and quartered in Stirling and Aberdeen, at each of which towns a depot bat'alion will be formed, com posed exclusively of the depots of the Highland re giments serving in India. This step has been de cided en in order to give increased facilities for re cruiting the Highland regiments from Scotland. In additioa to the above changes, it is intended to form another depot battalion at Canterbury, where seve ral of the Indian depots will tie quartereil.for the purpose of easing the duties of the staff at Chatham garrison. The Osborne, Admiralty yacht, having on board Sir Charles Wood, First Lord, and the board of other officials, steamed into Falmouth on Son day evening at about eight o'clock, - and, casting anchor near the Eagle, 50, Captain Story, in Carreg Roads, was honoured with the usual salute: The inspection of the entire of the district Coast guard, who had been assembled at Falmouth for the purpose, commenced on Monday, and when completed, it was understood the yacht would continue her cruise round land to Milford and other stat'ons.

On Monday the fifth half-yearly meeting of this company was held at Welshpool. Sir Watkin W. Wynn, M.P., presided. The report stated that the directors trust that the shareholders will cordially respond to the appli cation for arrears made to them, anicl. enable the directors to proceed vigorously with the works and also to dischargp all outstanding claims upon the company. The directors, in the present position of the company, decline for the future to partici pate in the vote of 5001. per annum accorded to them by a resolution of the meeting of share holders on the 21st of July, 1855, for their services until the financial prospects of the company are improved. From the balance-sheet it appeared that the total receipts up to the 30th June last amounted to 56,6201., and- the payments (inclusive of the 11,7501. deposited with the Court of Chancery) to 35,9021., leaving a balance of 7181. Tho report was adopted. CEYLON. The annual meeting of this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern, Mr. A. Hastie, M.P., in the ehair. The report stated that the directors are now in a position to lay before the proprietors a final ar rangement in three agreements concluded by the company with her Majesty's Se( rotary of State for the Colonies, arrd confirmed by ordinances of the Governor and Legilative Council of Ceylon. It was only on the 6th day of July last that the contract for the construction of the railway was finally accepted by the home Government after a survey of the country made by Captain Moorsom, au experienced engineer recently sent out for the purpose by Her Majessty's Secretary of State for the Colonies. Captain Moorsom made a very favourable / eport to the Ceylon Government. In accordance with a provision of the contract with the Government the directors have paid into the Bank of ;:.ngland 31,8391. to a Government account, making, with 8,1601. allowed by the con tract for preliminary expenses, 40,0001. as a first instalment of capital bearing guaranteed interest at the rate of six per cent. per annum from the 6th of July, as regards the sum of 8,160/., and from the Ist of August as re gards the remainder ; interest at the same rate will tun on future instalments of capital from the dates of their being paid, as may be required, to the Go vernineat accounts. Measures are being taken for organising an engineering staff to proceed to Cey leon, and every effort will be made to send out the nec;ssary material., and to push on the works as rapidly as possible. It is proposed that the board should consist, as at present (including the eat officio director), of nine directors. The first vacancy which may occur should he reserved for the ordi nary director whom the Ceylon Government will become entitled under the contract to nominate on acquiring shares to the amount of 50,0001. A sum of 1,7291. has been received for interest on the de posits. The proprietors will probably wish that the interest which has been thus earned by the use of. - heir money should be divided among them. It amounts to9d., free from income tax, on each re gistered share, as a settlement for interest to the Ist of August. The statement of receipts and pay ments to the 6th of July showed that 45,8591. had be n received, and 8,1831. expended, leaving a balance of 37,6751. The liabilities of the company amounted to 1,8921., including 9851., solicitor's bill, 5001. brokerage, and 4071. advances made by the directors. The SECRETARY then read the heads of three agree ments entered into with the • Government for mak . ng a railway from Colombo to Kandy, in Ceylon, the route to be selected by the local govern ment, the Crown lands to be given free to the com pany for the concession of 99 years. On obtaining possession of the land the company are to proceed with the railway. The first section from Colombo to a station not beyond Ambeposse is to be opened in three years, and the whole line in five years after obtaining possession of the land, with power to the Secretary of State for the Colonies to extend the period for opening it if he should think it ne cessary ; the fares to be fixed by the Ceylon Go vernment, so as not to allow the profits to exceed 8 per cent. 1t is also stipulated that the post=office service should be performed by the railway com pany free of charge. The capital to be 800,0001., but may be increased to 1,200,0001., provided the line exceed 90 miles in length. A dividend, of 6 per cent., payable half-yearly, is guaranteed on a capital of 800,000/., including preliminary expenses, and 5 per cent. per annum on any sum beyond that amount up to 1,200,0001.; the surplus revenue over 6 per cent. to b 3 divided between the Ceylon Go vernment and the company until all advances by the Government in the shape of interest are repaid; the whole of the surplus would then belong to the company. On giving up the line to the Govern ment at the end of 99 years the latter are to pay the company the value of the rolling stock. A formal resolution adopting the agreements en tered into with her Majesty's Government was carried unanimously. ST. HELEN'S. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Friday at St. Helen's. A dividend for the past half-year at the rate of 2i per cont, on stock A, 5 per cent. on stock B, 6 per cent, on stock C and F, and 4i per cent. on stocks D and E, was declared. COCKERMOUTH AND WORKINGTON. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Friday at Cockermouth. The report, which was adopted, stated that there was an in crease in the revenue of 1,161/. over the receipts of the corresponding half of 1856, but at the same time there was an increase of 1,700/. in the ex penses, arising chiefly from renew a l s o f th e perma nent way and rolling , stock. The directors did not recommend any dividend on that occasion. - LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST RAILWAY.— Traffic return for the week ending Aug. 1, 1857 ..... ....... ... 222,451 8 0 Corresponding weeklast year 23,207 18 5 Total of the half-year to this date, 1857 90,324 19 8 Total of the half-year to this date, 1856 93,114 5 1 GREAT LUXEMBOURG RAILWAY. — Traffio return for the week ending Aug. 2, 1857 Corresponding week last year 1788 1 10 THE PUBLIC HEALTH. (From, the Quarterly Return of the Registrar-General) This return coropriQes the births and deaths re gistered by 2,196 registrars in all the districts of England during the spring quarter that exiled on the 30th June, 1857 ; and the marriages in 12,239 churches or chapels, about 3,845 registered places of worship unconnected with the established church, and 628 superintendent-registrars' offices, in the quarter that ended on March 31, 1857. The mart iage. rate was slightly above the average in the first three months of the year; the birth rate was above and the death rate was below the aver age during the quarter that ended on June 30th last. Upon the evidence of their birth', deaths, and marriages, the 19,300,000 people of Enaland and Wales have hitherto been prosperous and healthy during the present year. MARRIAGES. The marriages in the winter quarter (Jan., Feb., and March) are always leis numerous than in any other quarter of the year ; but 66,762 persons mar ried in that quarter of the present year, and mar riage went on at the rate of 1,410 persons married to 100,000 living. The annual average rate of the corresponding quarter is 1,400. The marriages in creased in the manufacturing districts in Oxford shire and Northamptonshire, in Essex and _Nor folk, in Cornwall, in Worcestershire, in Warwick shire (and notably in Birmingham), in Lincoln shire, in Nottinghamshire, in CEeshire, and Lanca shire (particularly in Manchester). The marriages in Cumberland lose suddenly from 198 to 303 ' • and in the whole of the four northern counties from 1,738 and 1,871 in the winter quarters of 1855-56 to 1,980 in the winter quarter of 1857. Probably some of the swains who formerly indulged in the license of a trip to Gretna Green and the Scotch borders to marry have been induced, by the diffi culties which the new law interposes, to marry in England. The great majority of the Scotch mar riages are now registered, and we may hope that the Scotch law reformers will ere long free Great Britain from the last stains of their defective mar riage law, which, drawing no distinct line betweexi clandestine concubinage and marriage, tends to ex pose the young women of Scotland to cruel temp tations and errors. BIRTHS. The births of 170,313 children were registered in the quarter that ended on the 30th June ; and the births were at the rate of 3 . 546 annually, the de cennial average being 3.523. The number of births is less by 2,891 than the births in the correspond corresponding quarter of 1856 ; but it exceeds by 5,036 the births in the spring quarter of the war year 1855. INCREASE OF POPULATION. As the births were 170,313, and the deaths 100,205, the natural increase of the population of England and Wales was 70,108 in 91 days. The natural increase of the population of the United Kingdom probably exceeded 1,100 daily. 93,100 emigrants sailed from the ports of the United Kingdom in the quarter that ended on June 30, and 35,414 of the number wete of English origin ; of whom 15,737 sailed to the United States, 5,459 to the North American colonies, 13,149 to the Australian colonies, and 69 to all other places. THE WEATHER AND THE PRICE OF PROVISIONS. At the Greenwich Observatory the temperature was below the average in April, above the average in May and June. Saturation being taken at 100, the degree of humidity was 76, or one degree be low the average. The reading of the barometer was slightly below the average. The fall of rain was 4/ inches, or 2/ inches below the average. The air moved at the rate of 78 miles daily. The intense heat in June was remarkable. The - first eight days were warm ; 10 co!d days fol lowed ; hot weather set in on the 19th, and on Sunday, the 28th, the temperature near the sea rose to 'TS deg. ; at places tetween the latitude of 51 deg. and 52 deg. it exceeded 91 deg. and even 92 deg. ; i n Lond on it was 83 des. ; and at all the other places under observation somewhat be low 90 deg. The 28th of June was the hottest day we have experienced since July 6, 1846.' It was also remarkably dry, the temperature of the dew point falling at times during the day full 35 deg. below the air temperature. The effects of the variations in the prices of food on the births, deaths, and marriages can be studied in the tables. The average price of wheat, like that of O msols, has been nearly the same as it was in the first three months of the year ; it was 565. 9d. in the 13 weeks of April, May, and June, 1857, and consequently wheat is cheaper by 23 per cent. and 17 per cent. than it was in the corresponding seasons of 1855 and 1856. In the London markets beef has risen 7 per cent., while mutton has slightly fallen since last year. The high price of potatoes is the most unfavourable circumstance in the table. The price of this important esculent was 59 per cent. higher in Lon Jon than it was in the spring quarter of 3856. The abun dant crop of fruit will, to a certain extent, supply its place as an anti-scorbutic ; and we may hope that the present year's crop of potatoes will be more abundant. STATE OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH. 100,205 deaths were registered in the quarter ending on June 30, and this implied an annual mortality at the rate of 2.086 per cent. The mortality iu the districts containing the principal towns was ut the annual rate of 2.323—that is .125 less than 2.448, the average of the preceding 10 spring quar'ers. In the remaining district, comprising chiefly small towns and country parishes the reduction in the annual rate of mortality was .210 ; it was 1 . 873, while the average rate of the season was 2 . 083. The deaths in London have fallen progres sively since 1855, notwithstanding the increase of population, from 15,001 to 13,201 ; and the dimi nution has been proportionally sensible on the south side of the Thames, where the improvement in the water supply has been greatest. The registrar of St. James, Bermondsey, notes that to 208 births there were 86 deaths. This district, he says, " having suffered so fearfully during the pre valence of cholera, when the water supply was very bad, and the open tidal ditches poisoned the atmos phere, it is very satisfactory to observe the excel lent state of health now existing, proving the beneficial effects of good water, excellent drainage, paving, cleansing, &c. ; and I may remark that, an improvement is perceptible in the market gardens and in the foliage generally since the partial abate ment of the smoke nuisance." En Lambeth, Waterloo (Ist Part), the registrar notes—births, 145 ; deaths, 55. The deaths are about 20 below the 'average of the three preceding " - years. "I have a strong opinion , " he says, re garding the unwhOlesomeness of the water we have for years been drinking. There is now a marked difference in the quality of the supply on this side the river, though there is still occasionally room for improvement. There has been no prevailing epidemic." The Registrar-General formerly called attention to the effects of the bad water on the people of London ; and the improvement in the public ealth that has been the result fully establishes [PRICE 4D. STAMPED 5 o the corrOotnesi of his remarks. The effects of the constant f,upply of.the best water that can be pro cured have yet to be registered. In the Southern and the Eastern divisions the deaths were fewer than in the spring of 1855, and generally fewer than they were in the spring of 1856. Some partial epidemics of scarlatina, mea sles, whooping-cough, typhui, and smallp - x, how ever, are mentioned by . registrars of these divisions. Two persons were killed by lightning while taking shelter und'r a tree in Kiiitt , ury, Hungerford.* At Chalfont, Amersham, one death occurred in digging for chalk, this making the fifth death ff om that calve within two yearA, "owing to the careless mode of performing till work." : In the West Mid'and division, Yorkshire and the northern rout - tiles, the number of deaths in the spring of 1857 excee I the number of deaths in the spring of 1855. In the north midland division, in Cheshire and in Lancashire, the diminution in .the numb rof deaths was not considerable. Among the districts in which the deaths were in excess of the deaths in the previous quarters may be enu merated Cheltenham, Ludlow, Bridgenorth, Leek, Burton-upon-Trent, Lichfield, Wolverhampton (1,000 deaths occurred here), Walsall, Westbrorn wich, Dudley. All the South Stiffordshire districts are in an unsatisfactory sanitary state. The pottery .districts of North Staffordshire have been recently rupp'ied with good water, and their mortality has fallen considerably. King's Norton, Coventry, Hayfield, Chester (Great Broughton), gull; New- ' astle 2 upon-Tyne, have al go lost more lives . than-in• the pr vions spring quarters. Many districts of the country still suffer from marsh malaria. In Malden ' the Registrar says, " Ague is very prevalent in Tollesbury, Goldhan eer, Tolleshunt-d'Arcy and its neighbourhood." The lower levels of the basin of the Thames as high up the stream as Oxford, and as low as Hoo and Sheppey, suffer from malarious diseases in spring and autumn. The mortality on the high grounds at the sources of the Thames is at the average rate of 17 and 18 annual deaths inl,oooliving ; in the low flooded districts on its banks the mortality rises to 20, 21, 22, 23 id 1000 ; in Orsett, Essex, the mor tality is at the rate of 24 in 1,000 ; in Hoo, the Isle of Grain, 24 ; and in Sheppey, containing Sheerness, 24 in 1,000. Thus in the marshy districts the mortality is raised from 17, the natural state, to 24 in 1,000, eifly in consequence of the noxious emanations from a rich, ill-drained soil. . Sheppey may be taken as a type of these dis tricts. The inhabitants have that pallid, blue aspect which characterises aguish districts; they frequently suffer from ague, and sometimes from typhoid fever. A considerable number of men in the Sheerness Dockyard, and in the ships on the station, have been struck dawn and disabled by fevers during the present year. Sheppey has its high lands, but a large quantity of it is marsh, drained imperfectly by ditches containing stag nant water and putrid vegetable and animal matter. The owners of this property are absentees, and `the tenants mostly commit their farms to the care of a bailiff. No effort is made at improvement by the small occupiers, although experience has shown that the investment of money in the deep effectual drainage of the marsh is remunerative in a high degree. His Ex celleacy Lord Harris has published a highly inte resting statistical document showing the outlay and receipts in detail on the Rayham farm, of 439 acres, in Sheppey, during the seven years ending Michaelmas, 1856. 2,2001. has been obtained from the Government Drainage Fund and expended on the land during the last four years. After allowing a liberal interest for all the money invested, the profit, whioh was set down at 1411. in the first year, rose progressively to 6931. ; and upon taking the value from the inventory at the beginning and end of last year, in connexion with the surplus of the receipts over outgoings, 9721. remains as a balance towards the rent of a farm in 1856, for which a tenant could not be obtained at Michael mas, 1849, who would pay a higher rent than 1001. The whole of this remarkable docuirentt deservEs to be closely scrutinized and studied by all the owners of the marsh land which now prejudices the health of the inhabitants and deters people from building in its neighbourhood. Sheerness should be immediately drained and supplied with pure water. As a Government fund affords very proper facili- Ves for the loan of money, drainage should be made compulsory on the owners of the land in districts which are so fatal to the inhabitants as Orsett, Hoo ' and Sheppey ; more particularly when the naval force of the country is seriously impaired by ill's standing insalubrity. It is evident that a large portion of our naval reserve may be paralyzed by ague and fever at the very time that it may be called upon to fight. A force which lives in an aguish atmosphere is necessarily enervated, and loses some of its courage. It cannot be always ready to meet the enemies of England at the gates of the Thames and the Medway. * The sub-district and district are designated by the ,wo names in this a►nd similar cases. t Publidbed at Sittingbourne, Kent. _HEALTH 07 LONDON DURING T.HE WEEK. (From the Report of the Registrar-general. ) . _ In the first three weeks of July the deaths regiss tered in London were consecutively 988, 1,061, and 1,209 ; in the week that ended on Saturday (August 1) they exhibit a further increase, the number being 1,238, of which 632 are deaths of males, and 606 those of females. In the ten years 1847.56 the average number of deaths in the weeks corresponding with last week was 1,138. But as the deaths of last week occurred in an increased population, it is necessary, for the purpose of comparison to raise the average in proportion to the increase, in which case it will become 1,252, whic h differs little from the number actually returned. The average is derived, in part, from two seasons—viz., those of 1849 and 1854, when epidemic cholera bad made progress ; and hence it may be inferred that the mortality that prevails is high for a time when the population is only subject to the ordinary sickness of summer. Last week the births of 843 boys and 830 girls, in all 1,673 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1847.56 the average number was 1,482. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.870 inches. The highest reeding was 3003 inches on Wednesday. The moan temperature of the week was 65.6 degrees, which is nearly 3 degrees below that of the two previous weeks, but is 3.2 degrees above the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by )\lr. Glaisher). The mean temperature was above the average on every day except Sunday, July 26, on Friday it was 70.8 degrees, which exceeds the average by 8 . 3 degrees. The highest readings in the shade and the sun ocourred on that day, the former being 83.4 degrees, the latter 109.4 degrees. The lowest temperature was 49 . 5 degrees on Wednes day; and the tango of the week was 33.9 degrees. The mean dew point temperature was 56•1 degrees, and the difference between this and the mean temperature of the air was 9 5 degrees. The temperature of the water of the Thames rose to 71.4 degrees on Wednesday ; its m ean temperature in the week was 68'3 degrees. The usual direction of the wind was south west. Rain to the amount of 0.60 in. fell on Tuesday. It fell in heavy showers, and was followed by a thunderstorm between I and 8 o'clock a.tn.

Ano ther Resident takes energetic meal area tip quell the spirit of insubordination ; the Governor-Gtneral approves of his conduct. - It is said that " the Telegraph bas s tved India." Without . underrating its imporance a. the thst outbreak, we may fairly ask how it assists in the " maintenance of India ?" In that respect it has signally failed, and failed for the very reason' which those who disbelieve in the permanence of an over land telegraph to .

Telegraphic communication A ithin lod , a, is not more important, nor so important, as between Eng land and India ; and the ch trees of inter..uptin i are certainly greater on territory net itnr.nediately within our own control. It is to be presumed that every of rt will now be made to secure a telegraph between India and Europe as rapidly as possible, and with th 3 be.* guarantees of efficiency, particularly during any crisis whea its services are more than usually c z o i for. Two projects are before the pubic ; one down' the Valley of the Euphratel- 7 , ,jytea!td ; :o,e other down the Red Sea—submarine. The Govern men t, or more properly the Treasury, support the former —and upon what grounds ? Can it be so iner made ? Will it be more efficient and ry?rm.tnent ? Will it clst less ? We fearles4ly answer all three conditions with a decided negative. The lied Sear, line can be completed within twelve mon - he ; and we add with regret it would have been in operation six months ago hied not the Treasury, f , r steme un accountable reason, and when no other pr“ject was before them, refused to enterta'n the question in the same.spirit which the East India Company did. The Euphrates line has as yet no concession from the Porte; nor is it likely to obtain on-, because the Porte cannot engage to protect th wires against nomadic Arab' tribes who own no all.giance to it, and will not allow alien; • establish a pro tecting force which may prove disastrous to the rule they claim over this country, but vihich they cannot enforce. The Euphrates line is for 1,000 miles exposed to wanton or accidental injury, and is certain to be in terrupted upon the least feud between one tribe and another. The Red Sea line is submarine, and touches only at places where a military garrison is already established, and English or Ottoman rule acknowledged and in full force. The cost of the two routes as to estiblishment is about the same ; the cost of maintenance groatly in favour of the submarine line. The Red Sea Telegraph Company were dis couraged by the Treasury two .years since ; they are now again urging the question on Government, and they offer to complete a telegraphic communi cation with Suez from Constantinopl.r this autumn, and with Bombay from Suez by next autumn, go vernment support being contingent upon success. This is no bubble project got up under the pres sure of the late news from India. All the neces sary Firmans are in the hand 4 of the company, these Firmans have been obtained through the sup port of Lord Stratford de Redeliffe ; the Direction is formed of influential monied men, wh.) are pre pared to carry out the engagements th-y enter in to ;_ and a Contractor is ready to make the cables and take the risk of laying them. if the cold breath of Treasury prejudice—or worse—bai not blighted this undertaking two years sinca, a Tele graph to India would have been a reality, and its absence would not now ; I , e3n in every on e ' s mouth as a matter of regret. Are the same intim oboes to delay so vital a link by which t..) retain India ; or have we at the head• of our government a man who bas courage to upset intrigues meant to gain selfish ends at the sacrifice of public interests What we want is a Telegraph to India which shall be efficient, and we want that quickly. The Eu phrates line cannot satisfy these conditions, and to prove it refer to the best authority upon that 'country, and one whose hobby it has been for 20 years to see Mesopotamia utilised as a transit route to India. General Chesney, in a lecture rn the Euphrates route to India, delivered at the United Service In stitution on the 31st ult., stated that he had refused to connect himself with the Euphrates Telegraph, because he did not 13.-lieve that isolated wires would be secure ; that his hopes for the secinty of the railway rested upon its being gradually brought into operation, and its advantage being experimen tally demonstrated to the Anths—eumiiderations which did not apply to the Telegraph. Lie added that if the Telegraph were m ute, it must be by establishing a permanent functionary of high rank in Mesopotamia, by careful arrangements with the Arab tribes, who would, neverthele:.s, be likely constantly to increase their demands ; and that it would, in any case, be a work of time, wh ht the Red Sea line could be immediately established ; and that he did not attach any weight to the ob jections made to it. He concluded by stating tbat he himself wished to see both lines made.—Daily News. The Bank of A msterdam yesterday raised - their rate of discount to 44 per cent. It had stood at 4 per cent since the end of March. CALCUTTA ITEMS, June 22.—The name of the officer who died from apoplexy—i.e., sunstroke--on the march to Barrackpore to disarm the Sepoys was Capt Clutter. buck. It is reported in Calcutta that if the Queen of Oude has left England she is to be stopped and arrested at Galle. Another report was current that the King of Delhi had taken poison, because he could not agree with the mutineers ; but in all probability he had been assas sinated. Another report declares that he has been hanged by the mutineers. THE BRITISH STEAM MARINE. —The attention of shipowners and merchants in the northern Atlantic cities is now earnestly if not anxiously directed to wards England, where stupendous efforts are making for an immense increase in its steam marine. The following article from the Ness York Journal of Commerce con' tains many important and sugge.tive tact:a:n:lo;oe° our contemporaries says that at this moment there is no less than 300 steam propellers, ranging of 1,500 tons, building on the Clyde and iu the ports of Great Britain. The steam-engine builders were never more busy than at the present time, and we learn that Napier, the celebrated steam-engine builder, hai more work engaged than can b 3 executed by him for three to come. This statement corresponds with a remark which we heard a few years ago from an engineer on the Gyde who recently arrived in this country. The iron works of England and Scotland were fully occupied in constructing steam propellers for foreign and domestic service, and Napier was taking contrae.s three years in advance. Side-wheel steamers were spoken of as likely to be wholly superseded, no vessels of that description being constructed. Meanwhile our ship-yards are de. serted, and scarcely a single steamship .4 aiy size is is playing building i natt, high United gam e S a t n a d t e i s s . determinedEgland w o it w t . t d oubt, e u h b vo t et , te ro t s h s r7ort f importations from England and F . ran ni c o e - i t n already been shown that two-fifths of the g foreign p ; and New York is by ocean steatner; ' rintenclent of the emi grantmore recently Mr. Kennedy, n ' the last six month, 18,460 sengers arriving here during and that of 57 stratus rs bring. were brought on steamers, depot at Castle-garden, showed euP that of BG,OBO pap. 18two were States' flag against 35 under the Bri under the United . • a nother sign of the times, it is stated that the bah.
