FIFA_LTII OF THE TOWN.—The -medical officer Of health reports a continuance of the low .rate of mortality :which has prevailed during — the last 'four months, and Which at present is nearly 25 per: cent „below the average of the season.. The deaths -registered last week were - the same in -number as in the .previous week, namely, 182. • This unusually low mortality is probably owing in part-to the moderate temperature 'which still prevails,' the mean of last -week having beenlittle more than 60}, degrees, nearly three degrees below 'the average Of the same period of former years. The _mean temperature of July was degrees, while that of . the same month of last year was 6 degrees higher. The average.wetldy mortality-of Zaly this year was 1713, andlast year;23l ; and the deathefrom howeircomplaints averaged 22 weekly this year and 4Sdast year. { .

Thursday, at the company's ~ einces in Nortla John-street._ Mr. C. Turner, the chairman of the board of directors, presided. The chairman, in 43penink, oedines, sa the directors might congratulate the s' prosperity of the company. The=• the proc I that he thought areholders on the were all aware of the losses in America last year, , andle was sorry to say that they had had ..considerable losses on that account since that • period • notwithstanding that, the American business, about; 'which. they had Beard and felt a good deal, presented a much better aspect than during the first six months of the ?last Year. The American losses were £23,000, including £lO,OOO at New Orleans P • and the American premiums this year amounted to £27,000, ;leaving a profit 'balance to their credit. of i:4,600, but without deducting the expenses of management. He had no doubt, however, that the American:business would , fully equal the losses. The American business was at -tended with high rates of premium, and there flust' con zequently be proportionate - losses, though beliad no doubt,. with prudent managemeat, in a course of years there was every expectation - that this branch of business would pre sent the company with , a fair rate of renauneration. In all the other branches of business, except thytmerican, their lirospeets were highly satisfactory. 'die - -report was then read and adopted, and a dividend of 6 2-8-per cent. declared MEDZINTILE USAGE.—DYS.ART v. M'Cuvrzfr AND RILEY.—This was - 4 case at; the County The plaintiff is a miller; and the defendants extensive merchants in Liverpool and . Belfast. In the course of their business a cargo of corn arrived at Falmouth to to their order, and samples.were.forwarcled to their house at Belfast. The samples were in prime condition, and in pursuance of the instructions of their Liverpool house they sold it to various parties at £7 10s. 6d. per ton, under the special stipulation, "if the' bulk of the carge would arrive equal to sample—if not the sale was void." The . vessel, containing '2OOO quarters, was three months going from Falmouth to Belfast, and, went ashore at Cardiff, and thereby was sold on account of the underwriters, and the cargo, from detention on the. voyage, Whlch should have been performed in seven days, arrived in -a damaged con dition, and. was sold at prices varying from £4 10s. to £7 per ton. The insurers paid the full value, the other per eons who purchased the corn abandoned their claim, and rejected it, as having come forward in bad condition ; but Mr. Dysart sued for compensation, which the defendants resisted, on the ground of mercantile usage. Mr. Macartney, for the defendants, addressed the court, and said it was a question of great commercial importance, as their sales of produce annually exceeded elOO,OOO on the same stipulations. He requested it should be left to the Belfast Chiniber :of - ConimerceTlieing the only tribunal ' competent to decide such cases of mercantile usage, and with him it was not 4 matter of pecuniary amount, but of Principle.-r-His lordship perfectly . coincided with him, and thought it a fair and mercantile offer, and impressed on the plaintiff's solicitors to concede to it, which they refused.—Mr. O'Hagan 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.—His Lordship felt disliosod, to dismiss the case, as it was . impossible Messrs. M'Curtin and Riley 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 accepting th e offer of the defendants to leave it to the Chamber of Com; nierce-,a body of the very highest commercial reputation. Counael for plaintiff oqnceded to the offer. Mr'.. WOurtin expressed a, wish to have it fully inquired into, and agreed to the suggeetion of the judge, as he would not debar the plaintiff from the fullest investigation.

It appear6t from the minutes' of the Workhouse 'Committee that an - investigation 'had been naiae into a charge brought by the chaphun against Mr. Fleetwood, a Romanist priest visit ing the house, of having interfered with a Protestant patient, and proselytised. Mr. Fleetwood, On being called before the ecommittee, had stated That he hid, - several weeks , hefore, "declared The man to'be a Romanist, 'and wished the pkcedabove his head to be altered,.hat no attentiou hid been -paid to it. This allegation had been-inquired into, and-a resolution passed, That; in the judgment of this comMittee, the Rev. Win.

He gave .11S the reason for this, that the governor had reported great irregularities front the Romanist paupers, whourer4oo in number, being permitted' each - Sunday to leave the house. •Thete were frequent .diseetions, drunkenness, &c. Mr. Gardner seconded - the maim; when Mr. Hntchimeon, secs:Wide& by Mr. earne, proposed, as An amendment, that • tlee'present system be kept up,:bet that a better superin tendence,. for those' going to chapel be provided.

The same -committee also reported that they had under consideration the stfoject of providing a better .situation - for the herring boats frequenting 6eorge's Basin, and they recommended the.sultect to be deferred to next spring-, hi consideration iof thelatenesS of the season. Mr. Lockett remarked that the season was. eery nearly over, andprobably before spring a better arrangement would be suggested. Mr. Bigham had a great objection to see the legs of theledies. After some further -coneersation the subject dropped. In reference to an application from -theowners of the Franklin King, -for shed accommodation at the east quay e ef the Watetloo Dock, the Harbour Masters Sub-committee report -that they did not think it' advisable to provide a shed there.-- The following report, addreesed to Mr. Mason, was read :-- " Harbourenasters' Office, 30th July, 1853.--Sir,---As in structed by the Harbour-master's Sub-committee, - I -re paired on board the steamer Sea Nymph, awl saw -the small engine of three-horse power at work, the original intention, of which was to pump the.water into the boilers. 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 doe applied to the-winches at the three batches, 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 fun, sir, your most _obedient servant, JOHN Genierss, Harbour-rnaster." — The committee next proceeded to the re-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 - Committees were then chosen :—Sub-committee on Works: Messrs.- Shand, Steele, Langsdale, Rankin, Holme, Evans, and Smith.— Warehouse Management: Messrs.

'intimated to the committee that the Town Council had deferred 'the consideration of this matter until the views of the - Dock. Committee were ascertained.

He is apparently of about twenty years of age, pale complexion, and slender make, with a very strong look of insanity about his eyes.

The de ceased, alon g with others, were employed. by Mr. O. IL Smith, on 1 - ‘2. s estate of A.ctarenich, about two miles from tire Nillage . c f Lochaline, where the men - resided, and they generally pi sferred going to and returning from the head of the loch I ,y sea, rather than performing the distance on foot. Mom lay was wild and wet in the forenoon, and the men aceofiF ingly rerriained at home; hut, as the weather Cleared up about rnid-day, they resolved to proceed to ' ACharenich, and work during the afternoon. With this view, nine r aen stepped into the boat, which they lutd 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 fah fly under weigh, she WAS caught in a sudden sqyall, whit th came up the loch, and upset, by which al] the men w - re 'thrown into the water. As the shore was not more t han ten yards distant, one of them reached it by-swinunin g, and three others scrambled upon - the boat, which tuna xl keel uppermost, and here they clung until boats came 1 :o their rescue from the village ; but, their five companions perished. The body of the lad to whom the boat belong, ii, was found entangled below the sail very shortly after the accident ; and those of the other sufferers have since b. ien recovered.—Glasgow Herald. HOREIDLI 1 31.A.TnrcIns.—At Norwich assizes, John Pitcher, a sni 'all firmer, aged 5(1, was convicted of killing Elizabeth Pit cher, his mother. The deceased was possessed 'of three cottages at Swaffham. In the centre one of these she. lived in Tune last, while .her son occupied another. The Old lady • /vas, though of very advanced age, being 85, of .tolerably hale appearance within six weeks of the occurrences w inch gave rise to this prosecution, hut the neighbours we ire aware that her son did not use her well. Latterly she u sod to go to a tenant and beg for meat, and when:t.ld that • her son, as was the fact, had received the rent, she shook her head At one of these interviews he' son came in, ar .d when he heard its subject, he, in a fer cions manner, r idled her out of the house, cursed her, an deliberately gaN e her a blow on the mouth, which laid he prostrate.

ATTRACTIVE WIDOIN E BEWARE ,!-By a " coincidence queer" we have just had placed in our possession a packet of " love-letters' recently written by a gentleman who, a Ebert time since, f,sited t'ais classic town, and ere his de parture breathed the soft vows of love to an attractive widow.

The gentleman in question is about . - 24, years of age, and resides many miles -distant from this town.

Month after month nailed on, and at length the. -time arrived when the faithless man was to throw aside his veil and appear in his true colours. He was, however, still embar rassed ; and to prosecute his " journey westward" to ' the Manor-house of his Mama," it was necessary , that he should again draw on the purse of his gene rous victim.

'Tis strange, but true nevertheless, that though I offered up a prayer each night and morning for my cousin, and shall continue to do so, I never could bring myself to do as much for widow ; nay, I have latterly been invoking curses, perhaps, upon her.
