the English visitors to this charming island are the Marquis
and Marchioness of Northampton, who arrived yesterday,
and took apartments in the Villa Zavote, a delightfully
situated hotel, on an eminence between Lace* and Cur

the sea and the opposite mainland, from Vesuvius north-

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE OFF BLACKWALL.—
List evening a very sad accident happened off Blackwell,
which was -vitnered by • large number of persons &ram-
bled on Blackwell Pier. The ship Suffolk, bound for Port
Phillip, one of Messrs. Wigram's hoe fleet of vessels, was
being hauled out of the East India Docks, and on getting out
into the river and commencing her course downwards the
mew crowded to the port side of the ship in order to give the
usual parting cheers to their friends who were on the pier.
They had given several hearty shouts which were answered
by the hundreds who lined the shore, when the boatswain's
mate, a fine yourg man, in some way lost his hold
lof the forerigging and before he could recover
himself be fell overboard. Unfortunately in falling
his head came in contact with the port chains, and he in-
stantly disappeared under the water, and was not seen
afterwards. The crew made a gallant effort to rescue their
fellow-shipmate, but in vain, and the body was carried away
by the tide. The wife and child of the unfortunate man
were on board, intending to accompany him to Gravesend,
and the anguish of the poor woman on witnessing this sad
scene may be imagined.
HEALTH of LONDON.—It appears from the
weekly return issued by the Registrar-General that last
week there were 1,364 deaths in Logsdon. The report for
the week that ended on the 11th inst. showed an increase of
100 deaths over those of the previous week ; and the return
for the week that ended last Saturday exhibits a further
increase of nearly 100 on the preceding number. The eve-
, rage number of deaths in ten corresponding weeks (viz., •
week in each of the years 1853-62) is found, with a correc-
tion for increase of population, to be 1,923 ; and the actual
number of deaths is therefore io irons of the estimated
number by 141. The increase in the mortality is caused
chiefly by diarrhea, the deaths from which rose from 47
and 91 in the two previous weeks, to 148 last week. Besides
the deaths referred to "diarrheas," there were situ 15 from
summer cholera. Of the 163 deaths referred to both heads,
142 occurred to infante under two years of age. Eleven
deaths from diarrhoea occurred in the west sub-district of
"allegro, where there were also 9 from scarlatina.
Smell-pox was returned in 51 ears, 12 of which are stated to
have occurred after vaccination. But the evidence of vac-
, ehrtion, or of the successful performance of it, is often of
doubtful character. The mortality of the disease gives not
much indication of decline ; it is satisfactory, however, to
know that it does not increase. Ten of the 51 deaths m-
atured in the Smallpox Hospital. On the 7th July in St.
Martin's !Workhouse • man, who had been formerly • bed-
stead-maker, aged 52 years. died from " the want of com-
mon nerrarke ,• toned in the street in au exhausted state,
and died in four days" (inquest). Two deaths in the week
, are referred to intemperance, brides six to " delirium Me-
-1 mem" A woman died at the age of 95 years, and another
at 99. Last week the births of 930 boys and 880 girl., in all
' 1,810 children. were registered in London. In the tee cur-
lresponding weeks of the years 1853-62 the &Temp number
(corrected) was I,BIKS.
