This report—of which we do not bAieve one word—has obtained such publicity, principally, as we have shown, through the columns of our oppo nents, as to render some reply necessary ; and we proceed to give it, although we are thinly convinced thitt the report merely owes its origin to the not' unnatural agreement of two statesmen, otherwise opposed, that faiths should be kept with the nation in regard of the pledge given that the income tax should terminate in 1860. Having made this pro viso, we proceed to make some observations upon the probable effects of the supposed junction, from the Conservativ point of view, setting forth what . we conceive to be not only the impolicy, but prat tically the impossibility of such a junction. We have the authority of one of the supposed contracting parties, • that " England loves not coalitions," and certainly her experience of the last two has not been such as to increase her affection for such ill-omened associations. [PRIG 4D. STAMPED SD. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING ( THE WEEK. (Troia the Report of the Registrar-General.) The deaths registered in London, which had br•en in the first week of January 1,135, and in Cie kst welr. of dr., same month 1,200, rose in the week thrt ended las , , Saturday - t i 1,368. In tire yerr, , 1847-50, the average number of deaths in the week:: corresponding with last; week was .1,180. if this average is raised for the prupoi , e of comparison, proportionglly to increase of population, it will become 1,298 ; and hence it appears that the rate of mmtality which prevailed last week w,is - higher than the average ran in the beginning of Feb. The increase, which the present return shows, on the deaths in Jan., arises from the recent depres sion of temperature, which commenced towards the end of that month, and continued till near the end of last week. The weather was generally mild in the first three weeks of the year. The mean tem perature was 37 deg. In the fourth week it fell to 31.2 deg., and last week it was 32.3 deg. ; and on two days since the 28th ult. it has been 12 deg. below the average. The deaths froin diseases of the respiratory or gans, the class which more than others rises and falls with the fluctuations of heat and cold, rose last week to 859 ; they had been for some previous weeks about 280. The average of this class, cor rected for increase of population, for ten weeks cor responding with Ist week,_is 285. The deaths front bronchitis in the hist four weeks were 170, 164, 166, and 224. The increase of pneumonia in the last week is much less considerable. Phthisis, which was fatal in the previous week in 146 cases, numbered last week 184. looping-cough carried off 61 children, and, as regards the extent to which it was fatal, showed little change on recent weeks. A child died of hooping-cough at 2, Church-court, Westminster, being the fourth fatal case of this complaint in the same house. Four children died of measles in the Marylebone workhouse ; the total number of deaths from this disease was 38. Only 3 dewhs from small-pox were registered last week in London. - - - - It is to be presumed that this new coalition, so ;o call it, could only arise from !he mutual anxiety of the emincnt persons principally interested to re turn to offic' on alm , st any term=. In every such arrangement there must be at least two contracting parties, and we ca❑ easily believe that the Peelite leader has obtained h 7 s own consent ; in fact, we agree with the Examiner that Mr. Gladstone is be coming exceedingly tired of whet our contemporary terms his " political hatchelorhood ;" in other worth, that state of isolation which threatens him and his Muff& with permanent exclusion from office and its enjoyments. Thera is, however, another power whose consent is absolutely necessary—namely, the Conservative party as a whole. Will such consent be given ? We believe not. Let us not be misunders'ood. We are as anxious as any can be to see the retnin of our fritncla to office, but we are equally alocions that styli return should be pe , manent and secure, We have ro wish to see in office if not in power, and we sp-cially deprecate any temporary arrangeme -, t which would have *he effect of bringing them hack to the Treasury benches, if suchrestoration were to be followed by speedy ejectmtnt and great loss of character. The deaths of four nonagenarians were returned; the two eldest of these aged persons, namely, a widow in Queen-street, Ratcliffe, and a lady in Southampton-row, had attained the age of 96 years. Last week the births of 976 boys and 915 girls, in all 1,891 children, were regis - Lred in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1847- 56 the average number was 1,620. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.762 in. The lowest reading in the week was 29 . 41 in. ; the highest occurred on Wednesday, and was 30.14 in. The mean temperature of the week was 32.3 deg., which is 51 deg. below the average of the same week in 43 years. The mean temperature of Sunday (Ist), was 24.5 deg., which is 121 de-g. below the average of the same day. The lowest temperature lon Sunday, which was a'so the lowest in the week, was 20 deg. The mean daily temperature conti nued below the average till Friday, on which day it was 42.2 deg. The highest reading in the week was obtained on Friday, and was 47.7 deg. The range of temperature in the week was 27.7 deg. The mean dew-point temperature was 29 deg., and the difference between this and the mean air tem perature was 3.3 deg. The wind blew at the be ginning of the week geuera)ly from the south-east, on Wednesday from the north-east, and on the last three days from the south-west. Scarcely any rain fell. On Monday and Wednesday there was snow, but of small amount. We return t' the phrase, the C.mservative party as a whole, for it btings ui at once to th 3 question of practicability. Few will deny that in case of the junction in question taity_r, plat', nothing less than the undiviled stre::gli of both Conservatives and Peelites w,..uld be nece=sary , io maintain it in place. Now, the immediate point at issue is, how far the support of the whole party can be relied on ? The Conservative body, as our readerA must be aware, although agreeing in all naa'n points, is in a certain degree divided, at least so fir as that each of its different sections give a greater inapt riance to certain portions of the common creed than is allowed by the others. _ _ _ One portion, it is evident, look to the religious or Protestant part as that entitled to predominance. • A second considers that more importance should be given to the support of the landed constitution of the country. While a third may be said to look more especially after the commercial and financial policy of the empire. . Now, let us see on which of these three ques tions Mr. Gladstone can claim the support of their respective adherents. Surelyit `cannot be supposed that a gentleman who is well known for his Pu , eyite leaning=, and who supported and comforted Cardinal Wiseman at the period of the Papal aggression, can possibly expect the support of the religious section of the Conservative party. We have reason to believe that an appeal to the constituency at Oxford would place this matter beyond a doubt. It is stated, to be sure, that the right hon. gentleman would return to office as a zealous Protestant ; but in our eyes, this, if true, would only convey that there is nothing he would not do to effect so desirable au object. Again, the whole landed aristocracy is suffering under the succession duties, which, sooner or later, must break up all estates, as certainly as that effect would have been produced by the repeal of the law of primogeniture. This body, it must be remembered, contains, not only the titled landowners, but the still older and more widely extended aristocracy known as the landed gentry. Surely Mr. Gladstone cannot expect any very cordial support from those men whose interests he 1 avowedly sacrificed to relieve certain classes from the income tax who should bear it, whilst there is an income tax. Next, let us consider the feeling of those who chiefly look to his financial and commercial ante cedents. No man can doubt that Mr. Gladstone must pursue in both cases the carrying out of that Manchester policy of which he has always been the chief exponent, and can hardly expect the support of Conservatives in such an object. Moreover, Manchester, is not, at the present moment, in such a flourishing state as to render her a very desirable ally. There are two things now pretty well under stood which will in future make au extension of the Manchester policy, to which we hold Mr. Gla lstene irrevocably pledged, imposili!e. Too first is, that the masses are at last beginning to find out that free trade has not given them the promised big loaf ; the seconJ, that her wicked connivance In the maintaining the worst vila of slavery to secure cheap cotton has IrrAluced stati of things which we always foresaw —iia'oely, that the reed upon which she leant would b! elk and. pierce her side. In fact, the American slave states can supply the staple of trade no longer ; and this alone wilt ren der a return to a Conservative system of policy in evitable, even if England had not expressed from end to end her determ;nation no longer to submit to direct taxation. How in these circumstances, we ask, are Conservatives to support . Mr. Glad- stone ? . ' We have entered into this question at soma length, because, although firmly convinced that the junction in question would be suicidal, we consider that, to avoid dispute and personal recrimination, which b e i t 1 b n u m n mus t it iin wproacultdiebasblbe.etter to prove that it wo uld We hope we have at 'least sh pdl o ee wn swit i li t o t u o t b e e all feeling which ' sur rounded with difficulties and dangers, irrespective out of doors—that gt i o l ha f e ielv c i t l e h ai s set: attention il a naa c ilit y r ri oo i l fi t , v e od s o hf, l o o v oa f w e ute ni r o av n o lrei r er b a le l e dv t ee r e h orn r ns in s te i st d l : uo i es a . in their rulers in Englishmen will require hereafter far more of political earnestness and. integrity than w w i e th all our respect for Mr. o G f ia n i - i s e t r o e n t e a , s le c u a t i La i n t y d. , cann b o e t en b s u u t ei f l e a e s l t t e h s a e t eur bis e political antecedent s have not to the country those necessary, though " immate rial guarantees."

A. public meeting of the electors of Marylebone, spe cially convened by circular and pubic advertisement, at the instance of the " United Parochial and Political As sociation of the Borough of Marylebone, was held on Monday evening last, at the Colosseum Hotel, Portland road, for the purpose of considering the following reso- lution : "That this meeting, deprecating the language which has been recently used by an individual on public occa sions towards the senior representative of this borough, unanimously expresses the admiration in hich Sir Ben jemin Hall is held by the electors now press nt, and takes t his opportunity to testify their admiration of his con duct, not only as their representative and as the friend of local self-government, but also in the administration of the important public offices which he has so honour ably and so admirably filled, as well as to recognise the influence of Sir Benjamin Hall's success as an adminis trator in promoting the principles of reform." The large room of the hotel was densely crowded, and many were unable to obtain admission. Amongst the gentlemen present were Mr. Nicholay, Mr. Jacob Ball, Mr. Wm. Field, Whitmore, George, Bridgman, Poland, dlffanger, Dr. Bachhoffner, M'Evily, Hodges, Farrar, and several other influentia electors. Mr. FIELD occupied the chair. Mr. BRINSMEAD moved and Mr. FARRAR seconded the resolution, and extolled the conduct of Sir B. Hall. Mr. HALLAM moved and Mr. C. GEORGE seconded the following amendment :—" That, in the opinion of this meeting, it is the privilege of every elector freely to can vass the public acts of his representative in Parliament, and that on the present occasion it is not necessary to xprese any opinion upon the public conduct of the Right Hon. Sir B. Hall." Mr. HODGES supported the original resolution. • Mr. D'INTANGER neither liked the resolution nor the amendment. (Laughter.) The first was too severe upon Mr. Nicholay, the second not sufficiently complimentary to Sir B. Rail Mr. DYKE also supported the resolution.

The long protracted struggle which has afflicted this town for the last three mouthe, haA jut terminated in the election of the Liberal candidate, Mr. Wegmbo, Governor of the Beak of England, to represent the b rough in the House of Cormnone. This morning nearly all the shops in the High-street were closed. Every vehicle in tho town was placarded with the name of one of the candidAes ; hundreds of partisans were seen sporting the colours of their favourite. Sir E ward Butler healed the pelf up to 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Mr. Weguelin was nest, and Mr. Andrews last. At that time desperate fights took place in the High street between the partisans of Sir Edward Butler and Mr. Weguelin, the committee rooms of whom were opposite each other. After 2 o'clock Mr. Weguelin les sened the distance between himself and his Tory oppo nent, and gradually got ahead of him. Mr. Andrews also picked up well, but he had got so far behind that he could not recover. Besides, at this time, numbers who were disposed to vote for Mr. Andrews, seeing the improbability of his winning, went in and voted for Weguelin to keep out Butler, the Tory. FOREIGN-OFFICE, FEB. 7.

MANCHESTER, FEB. 10 There bas bee❑ rather more activity in the yarn mar ket, and in some kinds of twist we may quote id. ad vance on last Tuesday's quotations. The principal buyers have been the German and Russian houses, and there has been some little doing for India. Cop yarns are also in good request, without change in prices so far AR lower counts are considered, but the finer cops, from 70's upwards, are fully id. per lb. dearer, owing to the extra demand recently made for Egyptian and Brazilian cotton. In cloths beyond a better feeling there is nothing to remark. There has been very little business doing in fal.rics suited to either the home or foreign mar kets. In India and China shirtings there is now comae accumulation of stocks, more particularly in 61b. and 71b. goods. Prices have declined in these goods during the last four weeks from 4il to 61. per piece, which leaves a heavy lose on their production at the present rates for the raw material. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report : " From Tuesday last to the end of the week there was no change in the state of the market for goods. Yester day and to-day, however, owing principally to the im provement in the cotton market, but in some degree also to the gradual extension of short time, there has been more firmness displayed by producers than for the last two or three weeks, and in souse instances a slight advance has been asked, 'but so far there is no improvement whatever in the demand, and the transactions of this day are conse quently again on a very small scale." Messrs. George Fraser, Son, and Co. report:— " These has been somewhat more business doing in India goods where low prices were taken, but it has not done anything to affect the other portions of the market, which remain steady, but with few and limited transactions." NOTTINGHAM, FEB, 10. The lace trade has improved to a slight extent, still in many branches business is dull. For Canada and the continental markets there is a fair amount of business transactions, and operations for our home trade are also extending. Brown nets continue exceedingly dear. 'there are orders for goods for America, and upon the whole the lace trade is in a heathy trade.

Me'tons, ladies' cloths, and other fabrics for the spring trade are in brisk request, and the supply is scarcely equal to the demand. Manu facturers are busy, and they are not disposed to sell ex cept at an advance on last month's prices. The report of the Huddersfield market tc-day is as follows : " The market is a very fair one. There is an average attendance of buyers, and inquiries for summer goods have commenced among shipping houses with consider. able briskness. The usual sales are cheap fancies, cot ton warps, &c. Both in raw material and the mann f actured article stocks are low. In wools prices are still a dvancing," CLOSE OF THE POLL. Weguelin Butler Andrews These numbers will probably be I.lightly altered to-day, at the declaration, but there cannot be a doubt that Mr. Weguelin is at the head of the poll. While Mr. Weguelin was addressing the crowd, yes terday, after 4 o'clock, a large omnibus, fi Lid with a set of roughs exhibiting Sir Edward Butler's colours, and "Harry Broome" and "Jerry Noon," the prize-fighters from London, mounted on the box, drove up, but could not pass through the crowd. They then dismounted from the vehicle, and commenced fighting right and left, when two policemen came up and manfully collared one of the "gentlemen of the P. R." and amid the cheers of the populace carried him off to the station house, where he now remains. GREENWICH. Yesterday morning, — long before the hour appointed for the polling to commence, the three districts into which the borough is divided were in a state of com motion, CLOSE OF THE POLL. Codrington Sleigh _ _ . Majority for Codrington At the close of the poll General CODNINGTON pre sented himself to the electors, and was received with great cheering, not unmingled with less grateful sounds. The gallant general briefly returned thanks for the honour which had been conferred upon him, and retired amid considerable cheering, Colonel Sleigh next addressed the meeting, declaring his intention of petitioning the Hoube of Commons against the return of General Codriogtoa on the ground of bribery ; and, having remarked upon Government influence and intimidation in the borough, said the peti tion would be so successlul, that within one fortnight he should take his seat as the representative of the borough in Parliament. This announcement was received with ♦ery consider able hilarity, and the proceedings terminated. NEWPORT, ISLE OF WIGHT. The polling took place yesterday, acid, after a hard day's fight, Mr. Kennard, the Tory candidate, has been returned at the head of the poll, having poled 271 to Mr. Seely's 251, leaving about 100 voters unpolled, principally Liberals, that the Sunday question had driven from Mr. Seely's camp. Had he not expressed in his address his determination to vote for the opening of the Crystal Palace, the National Galltry, and the British Museum, he would have been returned by a large majority, many Radicals even having voted against him on. that account. Many attempts were made by his friends to prevail on him to give in on this point, but he would not. WEST KENT. The nomination for a representative of this division of the county of Kent is fixed to take place at noon, on Monday next, at Penenden Heath, near Maidstone. The polling will take place in the various districts on the following Thursday, and, by a recent act of Parliament, will be confined to one day only. LIMERICK. The committee of the Irish Tenant League having issued a resolution declaring that Mr. Monsell, the late member and present candidate for the county of Lime rick, .‘ being a place-holder under a hostile ministry, is an enemy to the interests of the tenant-farmers of Ire land," the proceeding has (..ays a correspondent) excited unmitigated indignation and contempt among all classes in every part of the county. There is ' perhaps, no county in Ireland in which the Liberal and Roman Catholic party is stronger than Limerick, but the Ten ant League made a great mistake in attempting to de nounce Mr. Monsell to the electors. In all probability that gentleman will be returned on Tuesday next, with out being even put to the trouble of attending at the hustings. DO WPATRICK. The nomination of candidates for the b:Rouzh of Downpatrick took place on Monday, to fill the vacancy left by the elevation of the late representative to the peerage, as the present Lord Hardinge. Mr. Richard Ker and Mr. W. Johnston were duly proposed and seconded, the former on the part of the moderate liberal interest, and the latter on that of the extreme protestant and Derbyite party. The show of hands being in favour of Mr. Johnston, a poll was demanded for his antagonist, and will take place to-day. SPRING ASSIZES. (Prom. Tuesday's Gazette.) CROWN-OFFICE, FEB. 9, 1857.
