HEALTH OF LONDON DUELNO THE WEEK.

(From the Resfistrar-Generalb Returns.)
In the week ending lest Saturday, the total
number of deaths registered was 1,076 ; the weekly average
derived from deaths inthe autumnal quarter (which ooze-
means with the present month) of five previous years is
1,162; the weekly return, thernore, now exhibits a de-
crease on the average, after a perioi of more than three
months, during which it has shown a considerable, and in
eleven consecutive weeks an enormous excess above the
usual rate of mortality. The decrease is observed in the
west, north, and central divisions ; the mortality in the east
and smith, where the deaths from cholera are still the most
numerous, is about the ge. The deaths from cholera
in the last week were 110; in five previous weeks they were
2,026 (the highest number which, exclusive of those from
diarracca, the epidemic attained) 1,682, h 39, 434, 288. In
last week the deaths from diarrheas. and dysentery (the
mortality of which is mars steadily maintained) were
106, almost as numerous as deaths from cholera, and
considerably more than usual at this advanced season of
the year. The aggregate deaths from these three kindred
diseases were therefore 215 ; whilst the weekly average is
only 35. During last week the daily number of deaths trona
cholera averaged 16; on Wednesday they were only 11. In
the districts of 8-. James (Westminster), Islington, St.
Giles Holborn, Camberwell, and Etotherhithe, no deaths
from cholera were registered during the week. In Kensing-
ton there were 6 ; in Hackney, 6; in Betbunligrees, 7 ; in
Shoreditch. 12 in Poplar, 6; in Bt. Saviour, 6 ; Ber-
mondsey, 6; In St. George (Southwark), Lambeth, and
Wandsworth, 7 each ' • awl In Greenwich, 8. Its all other
districts the mortelity from the epidemic did not range higher
than 4 deaths. All other epidemics are at pees nt under the
average ; small-pox and measles remarkably low ; but gear-
latina becomes more fatal, the deaths teasing risen from 39 in
the previous week to 56 in the lest (the ge being 64).
Typhus was fatal in 47 cams. The lirths during the week
were 1,271.
The mean kelvin of the barometer in the wade was
29.540 in. ; the mean temperature was 46 deg. 7 min., which
is 4 deg. 7 min. lees thaw the enrage of the same week in
seven year, ; ie also shows a decrease oa the mean of the
previous week of 6 degrees.

CLEAKENWELL,

ROBBIIIY DT ♦ Smormax.—John Moriarty, aged 17,
was charged by Mr. William Ormsby, ebeesemonger, of Ho-
bert's-Inublings, High-street, Islington, with having robbed
biol.

The prisoner was in the service of the prosecutor as shop-
clan, and in oonesquence of having received a good refer-
ence, considerable confidence was reposed in him. For
some time past money was missed from the till, and suspicion
falling on the prisoner, the prosecutor marked several hall-
crowns and shillings, which he deposited in the till. The
prisoner came to the shop early in the morning, and took
his station behind the counter, to serve the customers. Sub-
sequently the prostcut r examined the content, of the till,
when he missed one of the marked half-crowns. On chal-
lenging the prisoner with having stolen it, he denied having
done so, but on procuring a police-constable he took out the
marked piece, and admitted his guilt, when he was taken
to the station-house.

GERMANY.

Oar Berlin correspondent writes
Dsc. 21.
The conservative party are continuing their prepa-
rations for the Erfurt elections. The faction headed
by Count Arnim, a specimen cf whose programme I
forwarded yesterday, declare that the chief point of
the German question is the power and independence
of Prussia; it was Prussia's strength which Us saved
Germany, and therefore its strength must be pre-
served. The more liberal party is re) owed et this
open declaration of their opponent', and will in con-
sequence be compelled to be more precise in
the composition of their own programme, than
might otherwise have been the case. Meanwhile they
are exhibiting great activity. Their committee have
opened communications with the central cow:Litt.e
in the province of Silesia, and to-day a personal con-
' trance is to take place at Rit sa, a station on the Dres-
den railway, between several of its members and the
leaders of the German party in the Saxon province.
I mentioned in a former letter that several reports
were in circulation to the effect—that in case of the
intervention of Austria in Saxony, Prussia would also
interfere in accordance with the treaty of the 26th
May. These repor's are in part confirmed, though
the intervention of Prussia will take place in a differ-
ent manner, a convention has been agreed to between
Austria and Prussia, that in case of an outbreak in
Saxony the government of that country "hall apply
for the assistance and decision of the Interim.
On the 20th inst. the Turin Chambers were opened
by the King, Victor Emmanuel, in person.

We extract the following from the German papers:
Bzxi.nt, Dac. 22.—The espousals of her Royal
Highness the Princes' Charlotte, daughter of Prince Albert
of Prussia sad Princess Mary Anne of the Netherlands, to
the hereditary Prince of Saxe Meiniagen, will be celebrated
at Charlottenburg during Christmas week. The marriage
has rewired the sanction of the Hieg, of her Royal High-
sees's father, and of her mother, the Princes' Mary Anne,
who has been travelling about since her separation from
her husband. The Princess Charlotte briegs her husbutd
two millions of dollars, which came to her from her mother's
side.

CONSPIRACY IN MOSCOW.

The liambtarg Romig/kale of the 19th December,
st received, states that intelligence had reached the
Polish frontier, on the 15th, to the effect that a
widely-ramified conspiracy, which had its centre in
Moscow, and the aim of which was to overthrow the
wessat Russian dynasty, bad just been brought to
light. Parties in St. Petersburg were at the head of
the conspiracy, of which it was stated several mem-
bers of the senate were also cognizant. From inter-
cepted papers it appears that on the next celebration
of the (Russian) New Year's-day, an attempt was to
have been made upon the person of the Emperor.
The discovery has caused the more anxiety to the
government from the fact that all the conspirators,
who have as yet been discovered, belong to the
upper ranks and to the national proprietary
body. The Poles seem not to have forgotten
the disastrous results which have always fol-
lowed their mixing themegves up with any political
movement : on this acesunt it was that the govern-
ment lately reduced to a mach smaller number the
army corps which have for some time past garrisoned
Poland, and it is thought that the recent withdrawal
of the guards corps from that country has been
caused by apprehensions of the conspiracy just dis-
covered. A very peremptory ukase has made its
appearance, requiring all Russian subjects who are
at present in foreign countries to return as quickly as
possible to their homes, and threatening to confiscate
the satire property of all those who fail to comply
Iwith title injunction.

The moat important items by these later dates
are as fellows:
The Jamaica council have " ordered, nemine contra.
dicente,that his Exeellanoy the Governor be redeemed
to direct her Majesty's Attorney-General to prosecute
the editor of the Colonial Standard for gross contempt
of the dignity of the council in general, and cf the
Hon. Alex Andre Bravo in particular."
The Kingston journa's are discussing the propriety
of forming a recirocity treaty with the Uni,ed States
similar to that which Canada proposed. The Colonial
Standard of the 30th November, says on this subject:
" Why, then, not make an effort for Jamaica iatbs
same direction? It is not yet too late, advanced es
the session is. Let an agent, competent to the duty,
I be appointed to visit \Vashington to negotiate subs
treaty as that in which Canada is engaged. The ex'
Ipanee would not be great. and whatever it might bei

The Barbados papers mention that although lio•
vember had been perfectly dry, scarcely a shower d
min having fallen, there was no great fear that the
agricultural condi ion of the island would thereby be
materially affected. It was hoped the month would
not end as it had commenced. " Scorching am:slli°

OPPOSITION TO THE PROPOSED PRISON

AT HOLLOWAY.
Yesterday, a meeting of Alderagate w,,rd Was held
at the General Di,pensary, Aid( rsgatestrent, Sir P. Laurie
in the chair, to consider the propriety of admiring measures
in opposition to the erection of the proyosed corporation
prison at Holloway, at an estimated ex; ease of 80,0001.
The CHAIRMAN explained that his friend Mr. Alcock had
intended to bring forward the question on St. Thomas's day,
but he (Sir P. Laurie) had thought it better to give it a day
for itself. He was adverse to going out of the City at all with
the prisons. It would be difficult to get the itoldermen to ge
to Holloway to inspect, and now that the separate system
was being abolished, space was not so much an object. Be-
sides, even if the prison were to be at Holloway, 80,0001.
was an enormous estimate, aed they might be sure the ex-
pense would reach 100,0001. By increadog the prison se-
commod. tion, they would only attract all the thieves of
the country to London. Look at what had been the ease at
the House of Detention. There each cell laid accommodation
equal to a respectable hotel, and the expense had increased from
3851. to upwards of 7,0001. per annum. The average of prisoner
was 121, and the number of officers to attend them 52, who

UNITED STATES.

The Niagara, Captain Ryrie, arrived at Livernool
last night, with dates from New York to the 26. h,
Boston, 27th, and Halifax, 29th ult. She is the last
s tamer that will bring us weekly dat*s from the
United Stater, as from this time up to May next the
communications will be ot ly fortnightly.

grass, little had been done. In the &rare, the
Panama Railroad Bill bad been postponedfuntil aftAr

Chi istmas.

The gold fryer was beginning to abate. On this
subject the Arta York Herald save
The geld excitement is undoubtedly enbildtng through the
country. Bmigration to the gold region, from the United
&ate,, as far as we can wcertain from various sources within
our re.chahas been as yet exceedingly small. la :act, the
number now on their wee amounts to nothiag ; but .f the
preparations on foot are fully corned out, as is anticipated,
and the penons who have resolved to reek their fortunes
there make good their resolutions, the list of rolitcligei
will, in less than a year fill an enormous parchment. Many,
we are inclined to believe, who have already sacrificed much
at home to the dente of seeking wealth on the Pacific, ar.•
now showing rymptome of vacillation. The probability is, that
not more than a third alines who bun entered upon arrange-
ments to proceed, will venture farther than they have already
gene. The disadvantages in both sea and land router are so
great, that but a few will hasud their lives and little pos-
ses-4'ns for that which is as yet an uncertainty. Tne number
of verb, up for the Pacific, at this port, his not been en-
larged. At Boston, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, we do nut
hear of any addiional movements of interest.
Tho announcement that Asiatic cholera had ap-
peared had caused considerable damage to the trade
of New York, more particularly among the shipping
interests. The report went abroad that the et.olera
was in New Yotk, and the cocsrquecce has been.
that at the ports of Cuba, and most of the West India
islands, a most rigid quarantine is exacted from ves-
sels arriving from New York. We (New York
Herald) heard of a case where the muter of a vessel,
bound to the West Indies, was about to go round to
some other port, and teke his departure from thence,
in order to avoid being put in quarantine on arriving
at his port of destination.
Several cases of cholera had taken place at New
Orleans, from which port the West dates are the
201 Dec. At that period the Canada's n ws had had
a favourable effect ou the cotton market, and sales had
been made at higher rates. The market closed firm.

store dealer in Guildierd-street, was summoned before Mr.
Seeker, for exercising the trade of • pawnbroker without a
license, and amending and taking excessive interest on en
article pledged a his shop.
Mary Andrews stated that being in much distress and
having Lead that the defendant kept what is termed •
" dolly shoo," she sent one of her children to raise a small
sum of money on an iron pot. The defendant examined the
article and lent one shilling upon it, and when she went on
the following Wednesday to redeem it the defendant charged
twopence interest, although it had only been three days in
his possession.
In the course of the examination it was stated that the
defendant was in the habit of taking articles in pledge of
poor people, and charging a most exorbitant interest, al-
though he had no Ream to exercise the business of • pawn-
brok• r.
The defendant attempted to exonerate himself from the
charge by asserting that the iron pot had been sold to him in
the first instance, he giving • abiding for it ; that in three
days afterwards the complainant repurchased it of him, he
charging her 2d. more than he gave for it.
' Toe complainant, however, reiterated the accuracy of her
I statement, which was confirmed b her daughter, when Mr.
Seeker convicted t e def. aunt, inflicting a penalty of 40s.

THE REVENUE.

The statement of the quarterly revenue, which will
be oompleted this evening, will, as stated in the para-
gragraph quoted by us from Sunday's Observer,
show a decrease in the Customs, as compared
with the corresponding quarter of last year,
of about 300,0001. This temporary falling off
will, however, be more than balanced by the
increase under the heads of Excise and Stamps. In
the taxes, instead of an increase, as stated by the
°burger, there will be a small decrease. The re-
turns under the other beads will mostly show an
increase; so that on the whole the accounts may be
regarded as satisfactory.

PROROGATION OF P 4

HOUSE OF LORDS.

[The follow's' appestat in part of our imPrtooion yesterday.]
Their Lordships Met yesterday, pursuant to the
prarogstion at the else, of the sienna with the view of fur-
ther proteguiag parliament until the 20th of November next.
Soon after two o'clock, the Lord Cheandlov, the Earl of
Carlisle, and Lord Campbell took their seats, in front of the
throne, in their robes, u her Majeety's commiadonere, when
the Deputy Usher of the Bleck Rod (Mr. Polman) was di-
rooted to summons the Commons to the bar, to hear the
royal coololisitZ Nom;
tohortly afterwards the officer aforesaid, accompanied by
Mr. Williams Ley, the Second Clerk at the table of the
House of Commons, with one honourable member (Kr. A.
Raphael), and severe/ adiciale of the lower house, appeared
at the bar, when the Royal Commsission having been read,
The LORD CHANCELLOR, in the name of her Ma,
jesty, and oa her behalf, declared the present parliament
further prorogued from that day until Tuesday, the 20th
proximo.
The Common,, represented as before stated, then retired,
and the Commissioners left the house. .

The ed~ partiZi; ei;eZieirn7e; attendant upon this
ceremonial were the first appearance of the Lord Chancellor
in the house since his severe indisposition, and the reading
of the commission by Yr. J. S. Levers, the deputy clerk of
the parament, in the absence of the second clerk at the
table, as oleo of the third or loading clerk.
Nooks( peer was present, except the Lords Commis-
donors.

Siam the session closed the remaining stained glue win-
dows have been completed, and Mr. Dyce at one end of the
house, and Mr. Machos at the other, are fast proceeding
with their frescoes. The effect produced on that of Mr.
Dye., the subject being " The committal of Prince Henry
b Judge Gamoigne, ' consequence of the artificial light
thrown upon it, by which the artist was working
up to the period of the commissioner taking their seats,
afforded a strong proof of the great advantage these works
of art would derive from a stronger light being thrown upon
them than that which the common illumination of the house
affords. This observation applies even more particularly to
the bar "end" of the house where the recesses are deeper
than behind the "throne."

Nothing has u yet been done for rendering the reporters'
gallery permanent, in its present advanced position into
the house, wh►tever may be contemplated in that respect ;
and while the throne, and Vie chairs of Prince Albert and
the Prince of Wales were nnecvered, as is maul when com-
missions take place, the while of the benches, excepting
two on either side, were covered over with sheets of can-
vass, which, in respect to the throne observances, it is
thought might have as well been removed on such an
occasion.
