HEALTH OF LONDON DUHLNG THE WEEK.

(Vixen the °Metal Report.)
The total number of deaths registered in the metropo-
litan districts in the week ending last Saturday was 977. In
the corresponding a Lek, of ten years,lBll-50,the number was
not so great as that of last week, except in two instances,
namely, in 1813 and 1818, when it rose above 1,100 ; while
the average was 929. But if this average, for the sake of
better comparison, be raised in proportion to the increased
population of the present time, it will become 1,022, and
last week's return will show a decrease of 45 on the esti-
mated amount.
There is a considerable increase in eases arising from
epidemics; the number in this class of diseases having
risen from 212 and 229, the numbers returned respec-
tively in the two previous weeks, to 268 in the lost. flue
two epidemics which attract notice in the table are scarla-
tiaa and typhus, the fatality from both being evidently on
the increase, and the former having 67 deaths assigned to
it, the latter 79.
At I, Dcan-street, St. Dunstan's, in West London
(South), on the 24th October, the daughter of a compositor
died of dropsy cowaspient on scarlatina. Mr. Nason states
that " this is the third death in a family of sic children, all
of whom (as reported a hatnight ago) have had scarlatina."
In the town sub-district of Bethnal-green' at 18, Nelsons
street, two children of a typefounder, aged sic and eight
years, died of scarlatina matigna utter ten and eleven days'
'UDC. ; and in the same house two sons of a sawyer died,
awe of " fits from worms (live days)" and the other of
"scarlatina maligna (5 days)." Mr. Gregory adds, that
" the house in which these lour children died between the
15th and 2lth October is situated in a street which is badly
drained, and ahich has no communication with any sewer."
A family is also mentioned, who renide at 29, London-stmt,
Ratcliffe, where two children of a labourer died of the same

disease.
Among fatal caws of fever is ono which occurred at 17,
Charlotte-street, in Whitt chapel; the deceased, as suited
by the registrar, having been "a very valuable officer of
the Whiteclimail who caught lever in the discharge
of his official duties."
- • •

Sumll-put was fatal last week to ?2 persons, of whom all,
with only two exception*, wile children under 10 years.
In only. two cases those of a boy of live years and a girl of
teu, it as stated that vaccination ban been previously per-
toricd.

Of 177 persons whose ages were GO years and upwards it
appears that N 6 were men and 01 were women. Of these
aged persuas 50 died before they reached 70 years, 113 were
70 years and 1111111:f 80, 31 between 110 and 00, and 4, all
women, were 00 tears and upwards.
Toe birth of 6,6 boys and 707 girls, in all 1,673 children,
were registered in the week. The average number of six
corresponding weeks iu lb 41-50 was 1,327.
At the newel Observatory, Wet:own:li, the barometer
was high ; the mean daily reading on Thursday was
30134 in., on Friday 30204 in., and on Saturday
30•233 in. The Mesa of the week was 30042 it,. The
mean daily temperature was also high, and on every daof
the week exceeded the average of the corresponding days
of ten years. Oa Sunday and Monday the mean tempera-
ture was about 58 deg., and exceed, d the average by about
10 deg. On Tuesday it fell to deg., and was then
about 9 deg. above the average. On Wednesday it feU to
31.7 deg., and on Saturday to 30 dug. ; but on all the lest
lour days it still exceeded the average by an iunouut vary-
ing from 3 to 7 degrees. The mean temperature of the
week was 54.5 deg., and showed an excess above the
average of 7 degrees. The wind was in the south-west in
the beginning of the week, calm in the middle, and iu the
north-east en the last two days.

EisinasTios.—We anticipated months roast, that
the amount of emigrants would increase. In support
of our opinion, we regret to state, that the steamers Vic-
toria and William Penn were crowded yesteri:ay with
nearly_ five hundred Irish, destined for the " Free Land of '
the West." The respectability of the emigrants surpassed
any we have seen before—and their anxiety to quit this
' unfortunate and loomed country was evinced by the cheer-
ing which they gave when leaving our quay. We have
seen letters from some of the emigrants who sailed for
Calms, South America, from London, in the fine ship
Louise, in the end of April last. They arrived there on
the 20th of July, after a most pleasant voyage. The news
they contain is must cheering; and three weeks' experience
of the climate has made a most favourable impression on
them. One of the letters concludes by saying. "We have
nothing to complain of but the absence of our friends
and our ignorance of the language, but we will soon over-
come such difficulties." This party_ numbered one hundred
and eighty persons, under the superintendence of kb...lames
Grace, of Carlow, law Supervisor of Inland Revenue, whose
wire family accompanied him.—Waterford AM!.

A MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE, attended with fatal
consequences, happened in the pari,l2 of Ordiquhill, on
Thursday last. Two men, one of them named klackay,
gamekeeper, Marnoch, and the other John Ellie, ground
officer, Ordiquhill, had on the day in questior. been on the
hiU of Raemore shooting, when a hare crosaing their track,

ADJOURNED YORKSHIRE SUMMER
ASSIZES.
YORK, TVICSDAY.
This maiming M r. Baran Platt sat at the Nisi Prima Court
to resume th. arid of a cause which was partially heard at
the summer assize.. he name of the c nose is" Regina e.
Dent and others," anal it 1.3 use out of a return to be made
to a mandamus isaued by the Court of Queen's Bench,
calling upon the defendants, who are justices of the peace
for the wapontake of Clara, in the West Riding of York-
shire, to appoint overseers for the township of Dacre.
The parish of Ripon is a very large one, having within it
no lets than 22 townships, one of which is Deere-tam-
Bewerley. This township consists of two hanilets,which are
pretty nearly of the same size, Daere having 5,230 acres
and Ifewerley 5,320, principally moor land. By the statute
of the 43rd of Elizabeth, parishes were rated for the support
of their poor, and overseers were appointed • but in
in 12 & 13 Charles 11., an act was passed Cy which town-
ships had authority given them to support their own poor,
and have the appointment of overseers. This had been
the case with Dacre-cum-Bewerley, but latterly Deere hail
manifested a desire to be separate from liewerley, to have
its own overseers, and to support its own poor. Two man-
damuses had been scut down to the defendants, one calling
upon them to appoint overseers fur Daere alone, and ano-
ther for Dacre-cum-Bewerley. The defendants had
appointed overseers fur the latter, having found
that it had long been the custom so to do,
and now they defended their conduct by the
evidence which the counsel for the defendants (they being
entitled to begin) proceeded to lay before the jury.
That evidence was to this effect—that from 1666 to the pre-
sent time there hail been a common fund for the support of
the poor of Dacre-cum-Bewerley ; that overseers were ap-
pointed for these jointly ; that tram 1712 to 1812 parish ap-
prentices were apprenticed in the name of Dacre-cum•
Bewley; that from 1790 to 1837 bastardy bonds were in
the joint names of the hamlets ; and in fact, that certificates
of settlement, orders of removal, appeals, the establishment
of a poor's-home, appintmcnt of constables, and for county
purposes, the name of Dacrc-cum-Ilewerley was always
used.
In July last, when the case was begun, which was the
day before the cominissioo-day at Durham, only one witness
was examined in support of the defend:iota' case, viz., Mr.
Gill, solicitor, of Knaresborough, who produced a great
variety of documents. It was found there was no possi-
bility of concluding the case, and therefore it was adjourned
to this day. The learned counsel, who appeared for the '
clown, were Mr Bliss, Q.C., Mr. Hall, and Mr. Addison;
for the defendants, Mr. Watson, Q.C., Mr. Pnshley, Q.C.,
and Mr. Jones. The same learned counsel appeared to-
day, except Mr. Watson, who was detained through
illness.
At the sitting of the court Mr. Pashley opened the de-
fendants' caw, of which the above is an outline, and then
proceeded to lay before the court the evidence, which it is
expected will be very lung, and protract the hearing to five
or six days.
Mr. Baron Platt said he wished to understand from
counsel on both eidi s, whether, in the event of a juror
or jurors becoming sick, they would consent to try the
cause out with the remainder ?
This question was answered in the affirmative on both
sides.
Mr. Baron Platt—Well, then, those jurors who are wait-

inn in the body of the court may go home.
Mr. Hall—nut what is to be done if the last man falls
sick ? (Laughter.)
Mr. Illess—They may be sick of the cause, but I hope
they won't full in. (Renewed laughter)
The evidence was then proceeded with, the learned judge
reading over that portion which he had taken on the last
occasion.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL CO URT.

OLD COURT.—YEsTERDAT.
itituuni! run !lamp. a.

Edward Evans, 44,-pleaded guilty to an indictment
charging him with stealing a Bank of England note fur
1,00 d., and two other notes fur 2001. each, the property of
Mews. Hoare and Co., the hankers.
. .

Mr. Bodkin, who appeared as counsel for the prisoner,
addressed the court, and, in mitigation of punishment,
stated that he had been for many years in the service of the
prosecutors and enjoyed their confidence. lie had made all
the reparation in his power by acknowledging his guilt, and
he had since rendered all the assistance he could to enable
the firm to put their books is rights and place them in pus-
session of the actual amount and nature of the transactions
' in which the prisoner was implicated.
Mr. Clarkson, who was counsel for the prosecution, also
addressed the court, and said that it was quite true that the
prisoner had been looked upon by the firm as a person of
great respectability, and in whom they placed the utmost
confidence, and it was only in the performance of a moat
painful duty that they fi It themselves compelled to appear
as the prosecutors of the present indictment. Ile telt it
right, at the same time, to inform the court that it was cor-
rectly stated by his learned friend, that since the appre-
hension of the prisoner he had given the prosecutors every
information in his power upon the subject of the charges
that were made against him.
The Recorder said he should like to put one or two ques-
tions to Mr. Hoare. . .

Mr. Hoare was accordingly sworn upon the voire dire,
and, in answer to questions that were put by the court, he
said that the sum of 1,4001. referred to in the present in-
dictment he hau reason to believe was not the whole extent
to which the firm had been plandered by the prisoner. Ile
was engaged as ledger keeper, and had been for twenty
yearn in the service of the firm, and the utmost confidence
was reposed in him.
The Recorder inquired if the prisoner had really ren-
dered assistance to correct the errors in thebooks?

Mr. Hoare said that he had dune all in his power to
enable them to put the books to rights. A great many
false entries were made in them, and but for the assistance
of the prisoner it would have been a work of very great
difficulty to bare traced the different items.
The Recorder postponed pas.ing sentence.
Edward Pittard, '2l, agent, pleaded guilty to four in-
dictments, charging him with uttering forged cheques, for
small amounts, to different tradesmen.
It appeared that the prisoner had been in the habit of
going to tradesmen's shops offering needs for sale, and hav-
ing succeeded in throwing the parties off their guard by his
apparent position of respectability, he would purchase
some trifling article, giving in payment a false cheque (or a
small amount, and receiving the difference.
The Recorder, having ascertained that the prisoner hail
borne a good character at a former period of his life, and
that he had never before been convicted of any offense, in-
flicted upon him the lenient sentence of six mouths' im-
prisonment and hard labour.
Caroline Gertraae ((oilers, 19, a good-looking young wo-
man, was placed at the bar to receive judgnient.
The Recorder addressing her said that she had pleaded
guilty at the last session of this court to a charge of for-
gery, and the offence appeared to have been committed
with great art and ingenuity. The sentence was respited
in the hope that the benevolent ladies who made it their
duty to inquire into the cases of the prisoners confined in
the gaol of Newg te, would have made such a report re•
specting her as would hare justified the court in passing
a lenient sentence. Ile was sorry, however, to find
that the inquiries which had been made respecting
her placed her in a still more unfavourable position,
for it appeared that this was not the only criminal
offence she had committed, and the ladies, who had had the
opportunity of eceisig her and becoming acquainted with
her conduct, had unanimously reported that she was a
person having an utter disregard far truth and that her
word could nut in any respect be relied on. lie was afraid
that this disregard ot truth had hem to a great extent the
means of placing her in her present painful position, and
it was clear that she would not be likely to do any good in
this country. The sentence, therefore, lie felt bound to
pass upon her,was one of transportation for seven years.

NEW COURT.—YESTERDAT.
13sroaus t.. COMIOII

The Court was occupied the whole of the day trying pri-
soners for pagsinsi base coin, and the whole of the charges
were of the ordinary description.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-YEiTERDAY.
BtfORI Mt SCIJZOIT A 1,111,. A,,ISTANT lcuot.

Edward Foy, 32, was indicted for having unlawfully in-
flicted upon Ralph Levy-, George Bond, and William Smith,
grievous bodily harm.
Mr. Trevethan Spicer appeared for the prisoner.
Ralph Levy said ho lived at No. 4, Ann's-place,
Whitechapel. Between one and two o'clock on the after-
noon of the IGth instant he went into a publichoese
in George-street, Foley-place, where he sat down to
have some bread and cheese, and shortly afterwards the
prisoner, who had been lying down asleep, suddenly jumped
up, and approaching two men who were there, made a
threat in the worst of language that he would bite off the
nose of one, and serve the other in • similar manner. lle
also threatened violence to the witness, who thought at
first that he was jesting, but he began to think that he was
in earnest when he turned round and missed the knife with
which he had just been eating from the plate. The pri-
soner sprung at Smith, one of the two, and actually bit a
piece of flesh from his cheek, and drawing from its pocket the
knife witness bad missed, he made a stab with it at his
(witness's) heart making use of a horrid expression, and, in
warding off the blow, the knife passed between his
' fingers, one of which was cut to the bone. Witness then
ran to the fireplace, and took up the poker to defend him-
self, but the prisoner pursued him round the room, and
made another stab at him with the knife, but he did not
reach him, and witness then dealt him so severe a blow on
the arm with the poker that the latter was broken in two.
The prisoner, however, nothing daunted, took the knife in
the other band, and venewed the attack, but the weapon
I fortunately was knocked from his grasp, and, being closed
with, he was held down on the floor until an officer arrived,
I when he was given into custody.
I George Bond, a eowkeeper, who was also assaulted by
the prisoner, and Smith, who had his check bitten, corro-
borated the evidence of Levy.
Mr. Spicer said he could not for a moment struggle
against the evidence of the witnesses, or ask the jury to re-
tarn a verdict of acquittal, but he had to urge that the
offence was committed whilst the prisoner was under the
effects of drink, by which at the time his mind was affected.
The conduct the prisoner had been guilty of was more like
that of a wild beast than that of a civilised being, and had
he been sober nothing of the kind could have occurred.
The prisoner had been charged with similar offences preci-
ously, and it would appear that he was subject to meths
of delirium tremens. and whilst under them, he appeared to
be influenced by some savage hallucinations, for he at-
tacked every person he earns in contact with.
The jury then returned a verdict of Citsiley.

The prisoner said, that knowing his liability to these
attacks, lie had abstained front mink fur more than two
months, but on the day in question, he aaved a woman and
her child from the flames, at a tire that broke out in Hayes-
court, Newport.market. Ile saw the woman with a child
in her anus at a window on the second finer of the premises
on tire, and as the Monts were approaching that nen of the
building, she was about to threw herself into the street—
none of the persons who were assembled being able to render
her assistance. Seeing the perilous situation she was in, he
resolved to attempt her rescue, and he succeeded in reaching
Slit window by climbing the wate:.-apant ; he took the child
from the mother and descended to the ground, holding by
toe hand to the spout. By the same means he rescued the
eseelear, and afterwards assisted in the escape of another
; and those who saw this were so pleased, that they
=d upon his drinking with them. lie went to the
public-house where the assault took place, and having drunk
until he knew not what he was about, he fell asleep, and
remembered nothing thst occurred until he found his
arm fractured by the blow from the poker.
The learned judge inquired if the prisoner hail any evi-
dence to corroborate this statement ?
The prisoner said he tlsought the witnesses knew some-
thing about it.
Oi
as i inquirytepnsuonnecor stated.
The said he had heard that the fact
was
The prisoner said As could prove it by the inspector of
police who was on duty ut the statiotehouse when the par-
ticulars were given for the purpose of being submitted to
the Humane Society.
The learned judge said if the prisoner really hail saved
the lives of two persons the court would not overlook it in
pasting sentence, but it was no excuse whatever for his
brutal conduct. Ile should defer the sentence until the
next session, and direct the officers in the meantime to in-
quire into the matter.
Susan Jane Stanton, 19, was indicted for having stolen
three tares and a half of Nannette, value 365., the property
of Oeorge Frederick Collier.
The prisoner was in the service of the prosecutor, Dr.
Collier, of Ilatnmersmith, and the sstiuettc she was
charged with stealing was a portion of an unmade dress
belonging to Mts. Collier. The prisoner gave the satinette
to a milliner, who, by her direction, made it into a
" paletot." The latter was produced, and Mrs. Collier,
comparing it with the dress, identified it as her property.
The prisoner, in her defence, said Mrs. Collier gave her
the satinette in lieu of money. Site promised her &shawl, but
did nut give it to her, as she thought Dr. Collier would not
like her to do so, and she had the satinette instead of
money she was promised instead of the shawl.
Mrs. Collier said she could explain this. When the pri-
soner first entered her service she conducted herself so well
as general servant that she promoted her to the nursery,
and told her that if she was with her six months, and was
kind to the children, she would present her with an orange
and blue shawl which she hail by her. She afterwards re-
collected that that was a favourite shawl of the doctor's, he
having admired it when it was on her, so she determined
not to give it to the prisoner, and on informing her other de-
termination she whither the reason, but promised to make her
a present of half a sovereign when her dividends were due.
She told her that she thought the doctor would not like to
see her wearing the shawl, but in fact he never interfered
with her arrangements. especially
„with regard to her
•

clothes, dress, money, or jewellery; "indeed (said she amid
much laughter) I should not allow him to do so, nor would
I allow any husband to do anything of the kind." Mrs.
Collier then proceeded to say that the prisoner became ex-
cessively insolent and dis-bedient, and therefore she did nut
give her the promised halt sovereign.
The learned Judge said the explanation appeared to him
satisfactory enough, and he had no doubt Mrs. Collier, al-
though she appeared rather determined to oppose the in-
terference of her husband in matters of dress, knew what
was her interest too well, to part with en article of dress
wide& was a favourite of her husband's. Ladies, he thought,
wen generally tend of wearing a dress, or a style of dress,
which pleased their husbands, and their doing so, showed
that they knew what was to their interest, and what was
not. (A laugh.)
The prisoner was found Guilty. There was another indict-
ment against her for obtaining money by false pretences.
The learned Judgo sentenced her to four months' herd
labour.
Court adjourned.
