HMALTH or LONDON.—It appears from the
weekly return issued by authority of the Registrar General
that with the progress of the summer months the mortality
continues to rise, in consequence of the Mums, of the dian-
has or cholera, fatal chiefly to infants, that is peculiar to
the season. The deaths in the three weeks ending 18th
July were successively 1,187, 1,287, and 1,364. In the week
that ended last Saturday a farther increase occurred, and
1,452 is the result. The average number of deaths derived
, from ten corresponding weeks (viz. the thirtieth in each of
' the years 1853-62), is, after correction for nausea of popu-
lation, 1,253 ; from which it appears that the actual number
of deaths in last week was 900 in excess of the estimated
amount. The deaths from diarrhoea, which bad been in the
two previous weeks 91 and 148, rose to 233 last week, of
which 178 were amongst infanta less than a twelvemonth
old. Betides the number reckoned ander "diarrhoea"
there were 20 from cholera, two of which
cases were returned as "Asiatic." On the 21st inst. a
labourer, aged 33 years, died in the North-street Infirmary,
Poplar, of " cholera Asiatics (36 hours) ;" and co the 20th
ion., in the workhouse of St. George, Southwark, a chaff-
cutter, aged 74 years, of " cholera Asiatics (5 days), maw
cutive fever (3 days)." It may be asked whether the sani-
tary condition of Islington is not capable of improvement in
some pare of the district. There has been much scarlatina
in it ; and last week the deaths from Martha* were 12.
There is reason to hope that the further spread of small-poi
in the metropolis has been checked. The deaths by it, re-
turned lust week, declined to 34, which is lower than any
previous weekly number since the end of March. A seventh
part of the mortality from this disease in the week occurred
to persons who are stated to have been vaccinated. There
were 110 deaths from scarlatina, 15 of which were in Isling-
ton, 9in the subdistrict of ftt. Peter, Walworth. Last
week the births of 994 bo • and 898 girls, is all 1,892 chil-
dren, were registered in London. lu the tea corresponding
weeks of the years 1853.62 the average number (corrected)
was 1,818.

- hiII.LANCROLY BOAT ACCIDENT.—On %dada day
evening an accident attended with ruelasehely coniequeoces
took place ou Carliugford Laugh. A party of six, consist-
ing of two ladies and four gentlemen, started in the morn-
ing from Newry for Oarlingford in a gig. The boat was
rather light in make, but the party arrived safely at their
destination, and started again for their home about three
o'clock. The wind was blowing sharp at the time, and at a
place called " The Pool," the waves broke over the
gig, and gradually Ailed it. Surrounded by high
waves, the water from which was every moment pressing
them on to their danger, the gentlemen in the bout loudly
called for help, and the tenor of the unfortunate ladies
was agonising, while little, if any, aseistance could be
afforded. The cries of distress at length reached land, not,
howevi.r, before the gig had cast its occupants into the
water. A man named M'Kevitt, who was working a short
distance from the shore, on the mountain aide, heard the
cries from the lough, and he at once hurried to the shore,
where he found several boatmen, who speedily launched •
boat and hastened off to the rescue of the now drowning
party. On reaching the scene of the accident the boatmen
found that already the two ladies and the younger of the
gentlemen had sunk exhaasted into a watery
grave. The names of the party are as follow.
—Two Misses Rowley, Tlinthfgee; Mr. Rowley,
jun. : Mr. M'Carthy, Dublin ; Mister lease Towers
Jlenny and Muter Fraecis Westin, both of Newry.
On searching closely, the boatmen toned still clines, to the
sides of the gig, keel uppermost, Mr. Rowley, Mr.
M'Carthy, and Mr. Francis Lvlentiy. All three were is a
vary exhausted state, (*plurally the two latter, who could
not have battled on many minuteslonger. The boatmen
conveyed the rescued persons to shore, and Dr. Nugent, of
Carliugford, and Dr. Crawford, of Warrenpoist, were as
sue as possible in attendants. The three young gentle-
mu were, after some time, restored. As soon as intelli-
gence of the accident reached Warreopoint a deep gloom
was cast over the satire neighbourhood. Boats were
despatched from all quarters to the nese of the accident,
and were segued until Friday night in searching for the
bodies, het without soonest.—tiortAns Whig,
