HEALTH OF THE LARGE TOWNS—In the week

Salford 63 deaths resulted from scarlatina, awl had
this disease been as fatal in the metropolis, deaths
from this cause would there been 407, instead of the
99 actually recorded. Birmingham during last week
of the eleven large towns enjoyed the lowest annual

GY-NLILAL PEEL AND TOE NATIONAL EXPENI/I-

me to correct an error (which I have only jest di..
covered) in the letter I n 'dressed to you on the sub.
jest of Increased Army Eipenditure, and which you
kindly inserted in your paper on the tioil of Sept ein•
lien. It is the total of the sum spent on guns and war
material from lege to lso;, and which ought to have
been II and not £12,579,7:A. It does not at all affect
the object for which I glue the figures for each year,
or the statement which I made, which was that the
difference between the total expenditure of each year
wail nearly the same as the difference between the
sum spent on guns and warlike material, and did not
proceed from reduction on other sources of expendi-
ture. It caused me, however, to accuse the late Co.
vernment of spending a million more than they had
done during the six years, The fault was entirely
mine in wrongly copying
.from • paper in which
the figures were correctly riven, and I am very sorry
for it.
A CANDIDATE Molthrdi.—On Tuesday evening
Mr. William Slater, who has put himself forward as
• caddidate for Carlisle, was mobbed in one of the
wards of that city. Since Mr. Slater commenced his
candidature,about two months ago, he ham held
several meetings in small rooms in the outer wards.
These were conducted in an orderly manner until
last week, when, on attempting to address a meeting
in Rotchergate, Mr. Slater WY roughly handled, and
he had to be escorted home by the police. The
reason assiglial for this change of treatment is that
hist week Mr. Slitter and his friends were denounced
bv Mr, Ernest Jones as "sham Radicals," who wore
IrMiling themselves am tools to the Tories. Undanuted
bv the rough treatment he received in Botchergate,
Mr. Slater ventured to ntteiel another ward meeting
in Cal.lewitate on Tuesday night. When he rose to
address the meeting lie was greeted with yells and
he was hooted down. Dirty water warn squirted upon
him from large syringes ; dirt warn thrown, and at
least ono stone, which just missed its mark, candles
were put out, and the greatest disorder prevailed.
The hooting and jeering were so loud and prolonged
that the Chairman adjourned the meeting. kir.
Slater left the room perused by • crowd of lads
hootinw and yelling and throwing dirt at him, and
lie had again to be conducted home by the police.

WitALES AND ICEBMBOS IN VIZ ATLANTIC.—

that on Sunday, Boptembor Gth, he encountered a
revolving storm in lat. 34, N, lon. 52, W., at four
a.m„ the wind inaroseed to a gale from 8.5. E., the
barometer falling rapidly. At right o'clock the Gor-
illa was hove to on the starboard tack, with the wind
hauling more to the With. At ton o'clock a fearful
storm broke out, and the wind veered gradually to
the south-west, with a tremendous sea on. At half.
put eleven the storm continued, and the baromowc
stood at 28.5. At noon the wind lulled for half ssi
hour, when it changed at once to W.N.W.' and blew
fearfully for three Lours, after which the barometer
rose rapidly. Daring this 1.131.104 the sea swept con-
stantly over the dock and carried away the deck
load. Capt. Jones also states that the storm appeared
to he travelling KN.E. at the rate of twenty miles

ter fell from 30.1001 to 25.005. Tho Gorilla passed
several largo icebegs, two of which were about 400

About one hundred miles west of Capo Clear the
Gorilla passed through a largo quantity of deal tim-
