I MANCHESTER, Sept. 30.—The market has become
exceedingly quiet, in consequence of the uufavouranle
reports from Calcutta, where a further and considerable
decline has taken place both in goods and yarns. Not
, only buyers for the East, but also thrift for the Conti-
nent and the home trade, are holding back. especially
buyers of mule yarn below :"S.l's, and of water twist
I also. In these prices have to some extent given way.
The higher counts of yarn and two-folds are pretty
firm. In cloths the tendency of prices is also in favour
of purchasers, though not no decidedly as in yarn, but
there is not sufficient business to test them, and pre-
vious contracts are not exhausted. In cloths as well as
yarns for the East operations are almost entirely sus-
pended, and for other markets the demand for piece-
goods is more or less unfavourably affected.
In the produce-markets there has been • reaction
from the improved tone of last week, and the adva.neo
in some of the principal articles have been nearly lost,
partly from the increased supplies offered, and partly
from the prospect of heavy arrivals. Coffee, however,
remain* steady, excepting native Ceylon, which closes
G.I. to Is. per cwt. cheaper. Finest East India descrip-
tions have realized their former value. The sugar-
market has again shown a downward tendency, mid
prices are in most GMs fal. to Is. per cwt. lower. A
'ted quantity of grainy kind, sold well. Notwith-
standing the favourable result of the Netherland
Trading Company's Java sale on Wednesday, there is
no revival in the inquiry for export. By the latest
returns st the Dockyards and wharfs, a further addition
appears to have been made to the stock. Cocoa pre-
sents little change as regards enlonial ; but foreign ii
held for higher rates. 'fhere has becia a good demand
for rice, awl • recovery has taken plats: from the recent
decline. Floating cargoes are slightly dearer; but
buyers appeanal less desirous to operate. The tea-
markets has been quiet since the delivery of the China
letters ; co 1111 l ton Congou has realized Is. fijd. per lb.
cash. Several public sales held on Friday passed off
steadily, without any material alteration for China
descriptions, while the AS3AM brought 2d. to 11. per lb.
1110 re than at the previous sale. Transactions in salt-
petre have been of moderate extent at Is. per cwt.
below the rates paid the week before last, although tho
clearances continue remarkably large. Ram is firm' at
the rise previously established. The Coevernment are said
to have paid 24. i, and rather under 24. :kl. per gallon
for I.eward Island proofs, land have purchased to thu
extent announced.

THE PUBLIC HEALTH.
(From the Registrar-General's Report.)
At the close of the period in which summer cholera is
prevalent and fatal the weekly returns of mortality
wear a more favourable aspect, and the deaths have de-
clined to the point from which they rose at the end of
June. The total number in London in the week that
ended Saturday week was 1,058. If the deaths from
cholera in the corresponding weeks of the two years 1849
and 1854 are excluded from the calculation, it will be
found that the total deaths as returned the week before
last are less than the number which the average rate of
mortality in the third week of September in the 10 years
1849.58 would have produced.
The decrease in fatal cases of diarrheas is shown by
the numbers of the last three weeks, which were 148,
82, and 61. Of these returned as cholera or choleraic
diarrheas, the week before last gives only 3, and these
occurred to infants. Scarlatina, which destroyed 83 lives,
prevails much, but chiefly in the East districts; 8 deaths
from it are recorded in St. Leonard, Shorediteli ; 5 in St.
Paul, St. George-iii•the-East ; 5 in Islington West.
Small-pox was fatal in 23 Males, syphilis in 10, delirium
tremens in 4, intemperance in 4. Five monagenarians
died, all women, the oldest of whom was 96 years, and
died at the Female Aluishonaes, Whitechaple.
Of bricklayers 3 died the week before last; of brick'
layers' children, 7; of carpenters 6 died; of carpenters-
war., 7 ; of carpenters' children, 25; of painters, 3died ;
At the census of 1851 there were in London 13919
bricklayers, 23,453 carpenter', 15,369 painters, 4,378
plasterers.
The week before last the births of 886 boys and 866
girls, in all, 1,752 children were registered in London.
In the ter. corresponding
average number was 1,572,
