HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK

The total number of deaths registered in the metro-
politan districts in the week that ended last Saturday was
971. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1843.62
the leverage number was 1049, which, raised in a certain
proportion according to increase of 'population fives an esti-
mated amount of 1,164. Last week's registriten therefore
shows that the actual mortality is less than the corrected
average by 183.
The deaths ascribed to symotic diseases are 228, about the
same number as in the previous week. In Are two weeks
fatal cases of small-pox were respectively 2 and 2, of measles
26 and 11, scarlatina 27 and 26, hoofing-cough 37 and 30
typhus and other fever 61 and 68. The only fact particu-
larly attracting notice is the increase, usual at this season,
or diarrhea. The numbers referred to this complaint
in the last four weeks are the following: 28, 34, 64, and
73. It appear, that the last few days have witnessed a
decided increase both in diarrhcct and summer cholera;
and though typhus contributes nothing more than the usual
proportion to the weekly mortality, local reporta show that
it is prevalent in some pert*.
The following six cease of cholera were registered in the
week :—ln the sub-district of Amwell (Clerkenwell), at 13,
Northampton-road, on 15th July, the daughter of a hair-
worker, aged 3 months, died of " English cholera (about 3
days)." In the sub-district of Goswell-street, at 3, Perci-
val-street, on 16th July, the daughter of an engraver, aged
16 years, " English cholera (3 days), convulsions (30
minutes)." In Finsbury, at 11, Chapel-court, on 21st July,
the daughter of a labourer, aged 3 months, died of
cholera (3 days)." In Bethnal green, at 7, Fleet-street,
on 23d July, the daughter of a weaver, aged 3 months,
" cholera infantum (2 weeks)." In anb!district of Christ-
church, Bt. Saviour, at 6, Queen's-arms court, on 19th
July, the daughter of a labourer, aged 2 years, "summer
cholera." In St. Peter, Walwortb, at 22, Queen's-row, on
i 17th July, the eon of a mercantile clerk, aged 4 years,
"cholera (8 hours)." Also the following case is recorded :
in Baggentone East, on 16th July, a gentleman, aged 31
years, "chronic hepatitis (3 months), bilious cholera (3
days)."
Last week the births of 819 boys and 741 girls, in all
1,680 children, were registered in London. In the eight
corresponding weeks of the years 1846-62 the average
number was 1,336.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height
of the barometer in the week was 29745 in. The read-
ing of the barometer increased from 29.72 in. at the
beginning of the week to 2919 in. by 9 h. p.m.
on the 17th; decreased to 2910 in. by noon on the
18th ; increased to 2983 in. by 9h. p.m. ; on the 19th
remained at this reading nearly till 3 h. p.m. on the 20th ;
decreased to 29.59 in. by 3 h. p.m. on the 22d; increased to
29.8.5 in. by noon on the 231; and decreased to 29.81 in. b
the end of the week. The mean temperature of the week
was 69.6 deg., or 2 2 deg below the temperature of the same
week on an average of 38 years. The mean daily tempe-
rature was below the ge on every day of the week.
The highest temperature was 73 deg. and occurred on Sa-
turday ; the lowest wiri 50.7 deg. and occurred on Monday.
The greatest difference between the dew point temperature
and air temperature was 16.4 deg. on Saturday; the least
was 1.9 deg. on Wednesday ; the mean difference of the
week was 7.8 deg. The wind blew on six days from the
south-west. The amount of rain was 0.29 in. The highest
temperature of the water of the Thames was 61.1 deg. ; the
lowest 59.7 deg.

OrritAGE AT SIIIELDS.—Between Friday night
and Saturday morning last some persons forcibly entered the
premises occupied by Mr. Coates, Linskill-street, North
Shields, proceeded to the kitchen, gathered all the wearing
apparel and linen they could find, and set fire to it, and
then made their alit, leaving the inmates, six in number,
at the mercy of the flames. Fortunately, however, Mrs.
Coates awoke by the smell, and, on proceeding with her
husband down stairs, they found the kitchen in a complete
blase, which they succeeded in extinguishing, but not
before considerable damage had been done.—Newcaitte

MARKETS.

COTTON.—Livntroot., J ut.v 26.—The market closed
tamely and firmly, without change on last week's cur-
rency. The sales have been estimated at 8,000 baits, and
comprise 6,000 American (1,000 by exporters), 2ao Pernama
and Marauhems, qd. to 71a. ; 300 Egyptians, 7d. to 91. ;
1,000 Surat, 30. to ad. ' • 40 Sea Wands, 2a. 2d. to 2s. sd.
Import since 1 hursday, 25,000 bales.

NANCHENTIIit, JULY 26.—The yarn market has been
rather quiet fur qualities taken by shippers, but prices are
very firm; descriptions for the home trade are in good
demand ; and a considerable business has been dons, at
rather higher prices than could be obtained on this day
week. Shippers for Germany and other parts of the con-
tinent are buying m'.derately to order, but the high
prices prevailing are such as to almost entirely discourage
anything like speculation. Exporters to India have in some
cases shown more disposition to take goods than during the
1 ist few weeks, but are only buying at low prices.
For cloth there hu been a very fair inquiry, and prices
have an upward tendency, especially for such descriptions
as are suitable to the country trade. The advance, however, is
hardly proportioned to that upon the descriptions of yarns
from which these articles are made. The lower qualities of
printing-cloth, up to GC reed, are in good demand at full
prices; and some favourite makes of fine 66 reed are very
scarce. Almost all qualities of madapollama are scarce, and
prices are very firm, especially for the finer makes. llat.u-
facturers of long cloths are well engaged, and are demand-
ing an advance on most descriptions of these fabrics. T
cloths are light in stock, and prices very firm. Domestics
are scarce, in consequence of the number of makers who
have stopped, and prices have an upward movement. In
40 inch figured and brocade ahirtings prices are rather
easier, and the demand is nut in excess of the production.
Prices of water twist are maintained with great steadiness,
from the active home trade demand, and the probability of
further strikes.

WOOLLEN CLOTH.—LEEDS, JULY 26.—There has
been • fair average Tuesday's market, to-day ; in both the
cloth halls a considerable quantity of cloth changed hands
at firm prices.
WOOL.—HUDDERSFIELD, July 26. The arrivals of
Wool from the present London sales during the week have
been heavy, and manufacturers being previously empty-
handed we hate a moderate business doing, but the fact of
nearly 40,000 bales being yet to sell before the sales conclude,
causes buyers to operate very cautiously.

MANUFACTURES.—Huramitisrmn, July 26.—Our
Cloth-ball has been weU attended by merchants to-day, and
the demand for middle and better qualities of goods con-
times pretty Wok, but the lower descriptions are not so
much inquired for m °Elate. Steel and fancy mixtures are
in has demand, and rather heavy stocks of these are left on
hand unsold. The warehouses during the week have been
doing a steady business.

CORR.—Hum., July 26.—The tone of the market during
the past week has varied with the doily weather, firmness
predominating on the part of holders, leading to an advance
of Is. to 2.. on wet days, but accompanied with a good deal
of sound caution on the part of buyers of all classes ; on the
whole, the weather has been unseasonable, not that so great
a weight of rain has fallen in this locality, but genial sun-
shine is wanting, and a total absence of that maturing tem-
perature so desirable in this month. We cannot now have
an early h , nor is the prospect cheering as regards
quantity. The arrivals of the week are hirer than for
some time put, and there is now good choice in this market
of every description of grain. 01 Wheat, all fresh descrip-
tions have met free sale, but though the value of secondary
and chambered parcels has certainly been enhanced, the actual
ule has not been materially facilitated ; the price of the
quartern loaf is not yet sufficiently increased to snake the
operative (with his present good wages) content with any
thing but the best description of Flour. Our supply of
Barley has increased, and is chiefly of Mediterranean qua-
lities, which are more in favour at their present propor-
tionate prices than in former years; they are found to I
answer well ground with Dui or Millet, which possesses
highly nutritive properties, aad Is selling on moderate
terms. Of Oats several shipments have been made to Lon-
don, where they meet a gold market. Here fresh corn meets
ready sale at full rates. There are not many Beans offering
lon the market, the bulk of the Egyptian having gone to
store, and no fresh import of German ; the latter descrip-
tion are fully Is. dearer, and some speculative inqusiry
is manifested. Of Peas we have hardly any stock.
Indian Corn fetches 325. to 345. ; the supply is chiefly of
yellow Galata of fine quality and condition ; its feeding
qualities are yearly becoming more appreciated throughout
this district. American Flour it in fair request. Of Lin-
seed we have a large import, and the article is without
alteration. Linseed Cakes, Hull, 81.175. 6d. to 91. ; foreign,
71. 10s. to 81. 6s. Nothing passing in Rapeseed; Cakes
fetch 102 s. 6d. We have some arrivals of Bones, which,
being of fine quality, fetch 955. from ship for another season.
At to-day's market we had a large supply of farmers' Wheat,
for which farmers were asking fully last week's prices, and
only needy sellers submitted to any reduction ; on the
whole the market must be written much the same as last
week. Foreign Wheat rather less inquired for. A good
consumptive sale for each description of Spring Corn at full
prices. There were very serious complaints as to Potatoes,
and from different localities; we fear they are well founded.
Imports from July 16 to July 22 :—Wheat, 11,066 qrs. ;
Barley, 6,285 ; Oats, 746 ; Beans, 6,113 ; Peas, 40 ; Lis-
seed, 15,504 ; Rapeseed, 466 ; Oil Cakes, 16 tons; Bones,

LIVERPOOL, July 26. —At this morning's market
there was a good attendance of town dealers and of
millers from the country, who bought to a moderate extent
of wheat and flour, at an advance of fully 2d. per 7tilbs.,
and le: per sack and barrel upon the prices of Tuesday last.
Floating cargoes of wheat were obtainable on rather easier
terms. Oats of fine quality being scarce, brought an ad-
vance of Id. per 451 be. Oatmeal without change in value.
Barley and peas brought full prices, and Egyptian beans
improved fully 6d. per 480Ibs. Indian cora on the spot met
with more inquiry, and was generally held for rather more
money ; arrived cargoes must be quoted fully 6d. per qr.
cheaper, but those at a distance were in demand. Ibraila
at 30s. to 30s. 6d., and Galata at 31s. to 31s. 6d. per quarter,
C., F., and I. We had no rain during market hours, but
the weather has still an unsettled appearance. Arrivals
into Liverpool and Runcorn from the 19th to the 25th
July, inclusive :—Wheat, 28,876 qrs. ; Barley, 1,019; Malt,
150; Oats, 1,795; Beans, 1,678; Peas, 1,118; Indian Corn,
11,961; Oatmeal, 1,005; Flour, 1,638 sacks, 6,845 barrels.
Exports to Ireland : Indian Corn, 1,420 qn.; Flour, 887
sacks. 1,065 barrels.

Leans, JULY 26.—The show of wheat to-day Is large; a
great portion of foreign. The trade does not assume the
tone of activity that the weather and reports of the crops
appear to justify; holders are on the whole firm, yet only a
moderate quantity can be disposed of at the rates of Friday.
Barley nominal. -Oats and shelling steady. Beans., before.
No variation in other articles. Arrivals this week : Wheat,
5,015 qrs. ; Oats, 243 ; Barley, 7 ; Beans, 108 ; Linseed, 407,
LYNN, July 26.—We hays had a good show of Wheat
to-day and the trade slow at Is. per qr. decline ; best runs,
59 lbs. to 60 lbs., 60s. With favourable weather our Wheat
harvest will commence in about a fortnight.
NEWCASTLI, July 26.—The weather still continues
favourable for the growing crops, having showers and sun-
shine, and a mild temperature, with the wind prevailing
generally
.from the south-west. Upon well-farmed land,
the spring sown crop of Wheat has very much improved in
appearance, and now affords a fair prospect of a full average
crop. Under the influence of favourable weather our mar-
ket opened this morning devoid of animation. and it was
with difficulty last Saturday's rates were maintained for
Wheat, with a very limited sale to needy buyers. Flour
was also difficult of sale with a tendency downwards. Fine
fresh Norfolk Rye, weighing 60 lbs. per bushel, perfectly
sound, brought 31is. per qr. in retail. Barley, Beans, and
Peas, without change in value, with a limited enquiry.
Malt steady. Oats were rattier flat, and the turn in favour
of the buyer.
