This unusually low mortality is probably owing impart to the. moderate temperature which still prevails, the mean of last week having beenAittle more than 6oi- degrees, nearly three degrees below the average of the same period of former. years.- The mean temperature of July was 614 degrees, while that Of the same month of last , year was 6? degrees higher. The average weekly mortality of July this year was 176, and last year 231; and the deaths from' bowel complaints averaged 22 weekly this year and 43 last year. Diseases of the 4ungs caused 45 deaths, last week, and zymotic diseases the same number. Of these 25 were from diarrh=, 7 froin'typhus,. only•s from hooping cough, 3 from scarlatina, 1 from °measles.

He requested it should be left to the Belfast Chamber - of Commerce, being the only tribunal competent to decide such cases of mercantile usage, and with him it was not a matter of pecuniary amount, but of principle.—His lordship perfectly coincided with rim, and thought it a fair and mercantile offer, and impressed on the plaintiff's solicitors to concede to it, which they refused.—Mr. Crllagan briefly stated the case, and pro duced witnesses to prove the sale as having been a con ditional one. If the corn would arrive in good condition, the sale was to be confirmed ; if not, it was to be void. — The defendant, it was proved, offered to take his portion of the corn at a reduction, which was a rescinding of the former agreement. — HisLords r h es ipfelt m clis cu po rt se in d tO and dis ß m il is ey s the case, as it was impossible lsrs, could deliver corn per said vessel in good condition, from her detention; but said, it was a question of such vast importance, he should prefer the Plaintiff a cce pti n g the offer of the defendants to leave it to the Chamber of Corn_; merce—a body of the very highest commercial reputation.

The woman was extremely well dressed, with a gold watch and chain. The evidence as to - the man with whom the deceased was dancing was not at all satisfactory as regards either the time or place where he us in company with her. The Ilody was frightfully smtilated, the head being literally crushed in, as if a heavy blow had been given with a stone by means of a "mg.

NOVEL RAILWAY PARCEL.—On Wednesday, on the arrival of the third-elass train from Birmingham at the Cheltenham station, there was found asleep on one of the seats a little girl about two years of age. A label was pinned on the front of her dress—" Margaret Williams, passenger to Bristol, to be met at the station," and on inquiry it was found that a woman had brought it to the Birmingham station, but the guard had refused to take s in case of its not being owned 'on its arrival at its destination, the railway company would have been compelled to stand towards it in locus parenti. The woman had accordingly pinned the label to its frock and slipped it into the carriage, where, thanks to the kindness of the passengers, it had come along safely. It was pro vided with a basket of bread and butter, and one gentle man having made an impromptu bed of his great coat, and another having tilted up his portmanteau, so as to prevent it rolling oif its seat, it slept during the greater part of its journey.

The de ceased, along with others, were employed by Mr. 0, H. _ _ Smith, on his estate of Aciaarenich, about two miles from the village of Loehaline, where the men resided, and they _ _ generally preferred to and ;turning from the he of the loch by sea, rather than performing the distance on ; foot. Monday was wild and wet in the forenoon, and the men accordingly remained at home; but, os the weather cleared up about mid-day, they resolved to proceed to Acharenich, and work during the afternoon. With this view, nine men stepped into the boat, which they had been accustomed to use, and which is about 13 feet keel, pro vided with a heavy lug-sail. The sail upon the little craft was at once hoisted to its full extent, but, before the boat got fairly under weigh, she was caught in a sudden squall, which came up the loch, and upset, by which all the men were thrown into the water. As the shore was not more than ten yards distant, one of them reached it by swimming, and three others scrambled upon the boat, which turned keel uppermost, and here they clung until boats came to their rescue from the village • but, their five companions perished. The body of the lad: to whom the boat belonged, was found entangled - below the sail very shortly after the accident; and those of the otner suuurrAo have since been recovered.—Glasgow Herald. HORRIBLE 31A.Tnicfniz.—At Norwich assizes, John Pitcher, a small fanner, aged 56, was convicted of killing Elizabeth Pitcher, his mother. The deceased was possessed of three cottages at Swaffham. In the centre one of these she lived in June last, while her son occupied another. The old lady was, though of very advanced age, being, 85, of tolerably hale appearance within six wee ks of the occurrences which gave rise to this prosecution, but the neighbours were aware that her son did not use her well. Latterly she used to go to a tenant and beg for meat, an d when told that her son, as was t he fact, had received the rent, she shook her head. At one of these interviews her soli came in, and when he heard its subject, he, in a fero cious manner, pulled her out of the house, cursed her, and deliberately gave her a blow on the: mouth, which laid her After this the old woman was not seen by the - - in.

The correspondence is exceedingly curious, and should be read by every " attractive widow," for it shows how very possible it is that while man professes to admire and love, he is only designing and selfish. The gentleman in question is about 24 years of age, and resides many miles distant from this town. The widow is a lady re puted to be of considerable personal attractions, having " a little of the world's wealth ;" her age, not to be un gallant, we describe as " discerning.

Month after month rolled on, and at length the time arrived when the faithleas man was to throw aside his veil and appear in - his true colours.

STRANGE DISTUILBANCES. — For some days past Chel tenham has been kept " quite alive" by the discussion of daily and nightly disturbances, occasioned by the ravages of a religious maniac, who, having taken lo4ingsin Gros enor-street. ad4ressecl, from the balcony of his apartment, great crowds of people who collected in the street -below. The first occasioci of these -ssasexiblages was on Saturday afternoon week, when the "1113.sterious stranger," who tled birnself " - Shiloh," pr ea at great length and nost incoherently on the wiek‘edness Lnd vice's of Ids LMOng W lantity of 'er corns, be reAdily supposed, a general same proceedings :were repeated on the - crowds attending on produced, as 1-4, increasin >liming evemni Thurs( 8101 ay even - mg, however, the niac prophet Ra 3 taken'irrto custody. from inquiries into the antecedents of this pseudo prophet,. it appears that he has been the familiar of a Mr. Roberta, who, for some time past, has been practising on the -credulity of the weak-rnintled, by pretending to. act as a medium of com munication i,vitls the spiritsof their departed friends ; and, strange though it may seem, this ignorant and wicked fraud proved a source of very considerable gain to the im pudent impostors who practised it, numbers of persons having had recourse to their pretended revelations: On Thursday the avenues to the public-office were blocked up by a vast crowd, assembled to obtain a sight of the Gros venor-street " prophet," as he is termed, who was appre hended for causing a serious breach of the peace. On being placed in the deck, he gazed round. the court with a sort of bewildered air. He was dressed in white ; his outer or over garment resembled a surplice, fastened round the middle by a crimson girdle. He also wore a rich purple cap of silk velvet, ornamented with a gold tassel, which reached to his shoulder. He is apparently of about twenty years of age, pale complexion, and slender make, with a very strong look of insanity about his eyes. He folded his arms, and stood remarkably erect, gazing stea dily at the magistrates and the other gentlemen on the bench. The prisoner was desired to remove his cap, on which he called out " Not at all ; I don't uncover to infe rior mortals." The cap, however, was removed by the policeman who stood by his side, to which the " prophet" submitted with apparent-good humour. From the ch arge, " it appeared that the prisoner gave th e name of Shiloh," but his real name seems to be Julius Henry Gibgane, an American by birth, and of. respectable parentage. The charge was fully substantiated, and . the magistrates retired to consider their decision. During the period that the magistrates were a b s ent, ``' Shiloh" kept the audience in roars of laughter by his jocular remarks. In answer to a queltion put to him by a gentleman present as and an before long "such to the meaning of the letters " L.R." on las tracts, he said they meant " light returning," a light would return as would astonish all En g l an d:, The magistrates, on their return, Shiloh" would be required to enter into his own surety for £lOO, and to find two others of £5 O each, to keep the'pe nee f or s ix months.

It has since been applied to pumping the steamer and the fire-engine hose. The winch at the main hatchway has also been connected by a long shaft above the deck,-which is a saving of five or six men, as well as increased despatch. It could as easily be applied to the winches at 'the three hatches, by extending the shaft, as the one, had it power enough to work -.them all. It seems admirably adapted for the purposes intended, and I consider there is no great risk of fire arising from working it in the docks so long as coke is used for fuel.—l am, sir, your most obedient servant, Jome GAnsiss, jun., -Harbour-master." —The committee next proceeded to the iv-appointment of sub-committees: —The Chairman explained that the new sub-committees would not come into office before Thursday next, but it was thought desirable by many gentlemen to re-appoint at the present meeting.—The following sub-committee: were then chosen i—Sub-committee on 'Works: Messrs.

From the - pavilion her Majesty passed down the front of the cavalry, , drawn up on their parade ground, and returned back by the same route, Nut of the cavalry bands playing the natienal anthem. As the royal visitors were proceeding along the line, and had arrived opposite the left flank of of the Scots Greys, the horse of the Crown Prince of Wurtemburg swerved, .and the gallant rider was thrown from his seat. By the .assistance of an aid-de-camp the prince almost immediately re-mounted, having fortunately. received but little injury.
