11E.4LTII OF LONDON.

The Registrar-General's return states that in the
week that ended cn Saturday 1,004 deaths were registeted,
a result which, though red unfavourable as compared with
the usual mortality of the season in London, again glees
indication of that increase which is elteracteristic of the
summer mortality of towns as diginguislied from that of
the country. The deaths returned in the last three weeks
were successively 904, 971, and 1,401.

In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 184152 the
average number of deaths W.1111,R38, which, with a correc-
tion tur liar...age of papulation, gives a mortally of 1,175.
This series of weeks embraces the high m4rtality from
cholera in 1849, and the average is therefore greater than
it would be if derived exclusively from years le.s remark-
able for epidemic disease.

Taking tho fatal diseases in groups, it is seen that the
zymaCc class in d from 226 to 270 in the last two
weeks, arising from diarrhce t and measles; diseases of the
nervous system rose from 94 to 128, while those of the
respiratory organs fell from 102 to 79. The progress of
diarrhea is shown in the returns of July as follows:-34,
:54, 73, and (list week) 81; cholera, front which no deaths
were registered in the first week of the month, was fatal in
3,6, and 9 cases in the subsequent weeks. The 9 cases of
last week are given iu detail

At 21, Clifton-street, Shoreditch, on 25th July, the
daughter of a gas-inspecter, aged 6 months, "diarrhoea
(several days), cholera infantum (48 hours)."
At 18, Caledouiamrescent, Islington, on 22nd July, • boy,
aged 9 muothe, "sporadic cholera (48 hours)."
At 4, Springfield-villas, Kilburn, on 24th July, tl:e
daughter of • gentleman, aged 3 years, died of commt n
cholera (24 hours).
At the Workhouse, Ilishorgate, on 27th July, a needle-
' woman, aged G 3 years, "choleraic diarrhoea (9 digs), cho-
leraic lever (5 day,)."

At the same workhouse, on 29th July, the widow of an
iron-foundry, aged 79 years, " chulcraic diurrhcca (9 de:
fever (3 days)."

At 6, bank's-court, Finsbury, on 20th July, the daugh-
ter of a porter, aged 11 months, " summer cholera
k 5 days)."
At 27, Hot:on-wall, Saffron-hill, on 26th July, a broker's
man, aged S 2 years, " English cholera (l. d..ys), old age."

lera infantum (24 hours)."
At 2, ltaven.co:tages, Hammersmith, on 28th July, the
widow of a surgeon, aged 65 years, " dime m cholera
Anglica (2 days)."
Last week the birtlts of 76 boys and 752 girls, in all
1,521 children, were registered in London. The average
number in eight corrtspendiuti weeks of the yoara 1815-52
was 1,344,

PUBLIC BUSINESS.
CHARITABLE TRUSTS BILL.
. _ .

On the order of iiteLilorgolnii;toeolniittee on this
bill,

I ord J. RUSSELL, in =wing that the Speaker do leave
the chair, said he did not think it necessary to maks any
statement to the house with respect to the general
object of the bill, but it was right that he should'
state that be was sorry to find, upon inquiry, that
there was one kind of charities—namely, the Roman
catholic charities—which would not be included in
this measure. Placing Roman catholic charities under
the body created by this bill without some special pro-
vision might ultimately lead to questions which would
antet their existence. Ile did Lot propose that, how-
ever, with the view of omitting them permanently from
the operation of this law, because he thought the Roman
catholic* themselves would find great benefit from
buries all their charities placed under the super-
intendence of • body of this kind, hut to do that
would require a separate bill, with msoy special
provisions which might imete a great deal of discussion in
the house; and for the present, therefore, he simply pro-
posed to insert a clause in this bill exempting Roman catho-
lic charities from its operation. It now only remained fur
him to move that the Speaker do leave the chair.
The motion was then agreed to, and the house went into
committee accordingly.
The clauses up to 59 were agreed to, with some amend-
ments.

I, you clause 60,
Lord J. RUSSELL Tele to propose an amendment for
the purpose cf giving some folic! to the Roman catholic...
Several persons of that persuasion had expressed an &lariat
epos the graund that the ;4w with respect to superstitious
uses was such that many Rumen catholic eh ;rims would
not stand • strict iagairy if brought before a Court of
Chancery or other comp. tint court, most of these charities
not having been reeistered under Lard Ilardwicke's act.
His own opinion was that the provisions of the.e acts ought
to apply, to the Roman c charities. (Hear). But
then it would be seawall to amend the law relating to
superstitious wes. Uad.iubt illy institutions in conformity
with Raman catholic worship and religion were purpose, to
1 which Raman catholic& might justly apply their money. In
ace ,rdanca with this view, a bill wu brought i s some years
since by his right bon. friend the present Master of the
, It ills, for the purpose ef reforming the law with reaard to
superstitious uses, but ;t had never been passed. With a
view, however, to legi‘liting at a future time upon this
subject—(hear, hear)-9e pr.pased to nil.l a few words to
the end of this clause excepils.g lt,tman eutholics front the
provisions of the bill.
Mr. H.tDFIELD said that the mortmain haw was full
of difficulties. It was not the catholic& only who wire in
this position, but the whole of the inhabitants of the coun-
try. The noble lord's proposition did not go far enough ;
he trusted that the male lord tonlti take the whole matter
leather into consideration.

SHARE LISTS.

WZDNISDAT EVIININO.
The railway market during the greater part of
the morning ruled at about the closing quotations of
yesterday, but with little business doing. On the
fall in Console a decline took place, but this depart-
ment was relatively considerably firmer than the
funds, prices giving way reluctantly. The heavier
stocks at the close of business ruled about 10s. to 15e.
per cent. worse than yesterday, bat in some of the
lighter shares, which have had so marked a rise of
late, including Caledonians, Great Northern., and
Dover., the fall was more marked.

THIS DAY.—Tw•o o'CLocK.

The railway market was flat and rather lower
during the greater put of the morning, but this
( market has since responded to the improvement in
Consolr, and present quotations are not lower than the
last rates of yesterday. London and North-Western
stock is now quoted 1021 to 1031; Midland, 611 to
1; Great Western, 811 to 821; Lancashire and
Yorkshire, 641 to 631; Dovers, 181 to ; Great
Northerns, 20; to 2; and Caledonians, 261 to 271.
French shares are very quiet, and a shade flatter
than they closed yesterday. Northern. are now
quoted 331 to 34 ; Btrasbourgs, 371 to 38 ; and Paris
and Lyons,_ls;_to_lB prem.

MAURICE FROM ICING'S COLLEGE.

In compliance with a special demand made by Mr.
Maurice, Dr. Jelf has published the whole of the corre-
spondence which passed between himself and the professor
relative to the charge of unsoundness of doctrine which led
to Lis recent dismissal. It appears that the correspondence
commenced as far back as July 8, on which day Dr. Jell
addressed a letter to the professor, in which he st►ted that
his attention had been called by high authority to the conclu•
sMn of the last of Mr. Maurice's theological lectures, lately
published, and proceeds as follows : " It is alleged that you
therein deny the eternity of future punishments. I have
read the essay with attention, and confess that it appears
to me to bear that interpretation ; at least, the impression
it gives seems to throw an atmosphere of doubt on the
simple meaning of the word eternal, and to convey a general
notion of ultimate salvation for all. I am, of course, most
anxious to ascertain your real meaning." To this letter
Mr. Maurice replied on the next day, stating that he be-
lieved in the doctrine of eternal punishment, or
death, in that sense which seemed to him most con-
sistent with the other uses of the word " eternal " in
the New Testament; but he does not believe in the doc-
trine in that sense which is given to it, or seema to he given
to it in many popular discourses and theological treatises,
and that he repudiates that sense as inconsistent with the
Gospel. He adds, "To state my convictions on this sub-
ject was a duty which I felt that I owed to thousands of
young Englishmen, whose faith in the redemption of
Christ, even in the being of God, is at stake. I could not
but tell them, because 1 believe it is true, that the state-
ments which have led them to identify the God and Father
of our Lord with the evil spirit, arc not derived from the
orthodox faith ; that they are estrange product of Calvinism
and Locke phileeophy, and of the morbid consciousness of
individuals." Oa the 14th of July, Dr. Jelf wrote to state
that the Professor's vies"; filled him with the most intense
alarm, and intimated that as the rev. gentleman's were, be
presumed, ollicial one, he should Icy them before the
clerical members of the council. and, it need be, before the
council itself. At length Dr. Jelf decided that the ultimate
decision must pass into other hands than his own, and Mr.
31..ariec was rcmovel tem his prof:um:hip under ciic um-
stance with which our readers are already familiar.

Mr. Parry urged that the shopman was a person supposed
to have skill in the business he was engaged in, and he sug-
gested that it was a question for the jury.
The court, after a good dcal of technical argument, ex-
pressed an opinion that tho circumMances would not sup-
port an indictment for obtaining money by false pretences.
It mesa wry gram deception, but the only remedy was •
civil one. If any false weights or measures had been made
use of, it would have been different, but here the customer
goes into the shop to buy the article, and he finds it not so
valuable as it was repre•euted to be, but this would not jus-
tify an indictment for false pretences. It was pretty much
the same as • hone dealer representing a horse to he monad
which he knew to be unsound.
The jury then returned a verdict of NM Guilty.
Taa EITENSIVC FOKOZAII9 IX Till CITY
Robert Ferdinand I'• in, 31, was indicted for feloniously
uttering an unaccountable receipt for goods with intent to
I defraud.

Mr. BaMantic. and Mr. Parry conducted the prosecution,
and Mr. Huddlestone defended the prisoner.
The facts of the cue have appeared very recently, and
have created a good deal of interest.
The prisoner was proved upon the present indictment to
have gone to Meson. Col I mea n and Stoltfoht, foreign bankers,
end obtained from them a large sum of money upon de-
positing with them a document purporting to represent that
he was entitled to the possession of seven thousand qrs.
of wheat, which had been deposited with Meters. Brown
and Young, wharfingers. The whole amount the prisoner
had obtained from these gentlemen was 70,0001. ; but it
appeared that in December the prisoner obtained the docu-
ment in question, and another forged one of a similar kind,
which be deposited with another person, from whom he ob-
tained an advance of 20,0001.
The prisoner was found Guilty, and sentenced to be
transported for life.

SMITHFIELD MARKET.—THIS DAY.
We are but moderately supplied with Bouts; trade is
slow, however Monday's quotations are well supported.
The number of Sheep is again very small, the
demand is more active, and in a few instances
prices are rather improved, but there is no quo-
table advanee. Calves are not so readily disposed of;
choice, ones, however, are not much lawer. From Germany
and Holland there are 78 Beasts, 860 Sheep, and 249
Calves ; Scotland 30 Beams ; Norfolk and Suffolk, 400; and
90 Mitch Cows from Home Counties.

MONEY MARKET.

THUESDAT EVENING.

The stock markets again presented an unfavour-
able appearance today, Consols and railway stocks
being equally flat, but the fall was chiefly noticeable
in the latter market. No increase of confidence ap-
pears to have been produced by the announcement
that the weekly board meeting at the Bank of Eng-
land had broken up without the declaration of any
further change in the rate of discount. No imme-
diate change had been (generally expected, but the
apprehension of it is yet hanging over the market,
as, from the peculiar policy of the flank, it is impos-
sible to say how far it will go in a repressive
direction. In the railway market the flatness
was continuous throughout the day, and prices may
be said to have closed at their worst point. There
were some large purchases on „bear" account, in
realisation of profits, but on the other hand large
"ball" accounts are known to be in process of
closing or gradual diminution. In fact, it would
appear as if the " bears" to-day were mainly sup-
plied by the "bulls," but the manifest tendency of
the market was downwards.

Consols opened 991 to and fell to 99, but on the
re-appearance of the government broker as a buyer,
and the breaking up of the Bank board, there was a
slight rally, the closing price being 991 to 1 for money
and the 10th. Business in this department was only
moderately active. The official report is as follows :
—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 991, !, 99, 1;
Ditto, for account, 991, 1; Three per Cents. Reduced,
1001, 991 ; Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 1031, 1,

THE UNITED STATES.

[Wf ALICTRIC TILRORAIW.]
(FROM OUR OWX CORILRAPONDINT.)
LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY.
The United States Mail steam-ship Pacific, Captain
Nye, arrived here this morning direct from New
York, bringing 54 passengers, but no specie. The
Andes had armed out at New York, and the Europa
at Halifax.

By this arrival we have four days' later news than
that brought by the America on Sunday last.
The advice' from Washington state what General
Cass, on the 18th, in a long speech iu the Senate, ad-
vocated, the acquisition of Cuba by purchase or by
action. Mason, Chairman of Committee, followed,
and advocated exactly opposite views. The discus-
sion was then adjourned over to the 25th.
From Mexico we learn that the revolution was
extending to all the provinces, and all had revolted
but three. It was believed that Santa Anna would
come to power. President Arista's message had been
published, but it contains nothing but gloomy
despondence for Mexico.
From Havannah we have papers to the the 13th
ult., by which we learn that a large cargo of 800
slaves had been landed on Cadanes, whilst the
British ships Vestal and Geyser were taking a
captured slaver into Havannah, Governor Canedo
and Parcja, Queen Christina's agent, largely inte-
rested. Canedo, though appealed to by the British
consul, refused to give explanation or redress in
Boyleu's case.

COMMERCIAL NEWS.
The commercial news by this arrival repots business
good, money plentiful, and stocks in good demand ut full
prices.
hints market good, and prices firm.
COTTON.—In the cotton market at New York, notwith-
standing the Europa's news, there has been a fair business
done. New Orleans and Mobile commanding 12 to 12k, and
Upland and Florida 111 to II:, being a rise of half a cent.
per lb. The advice' report a felling off at all the ports,
and the crop estimate decreasing. At New Orleans, on tke
23rd, there was an active market.

Pfolllllol2 market quiet, with price lower.
BItEADSTUM.—Pminus to the reception of the Eu-
ropa's news from Englund, the market was active and prices
very firm ; since her arrival no business of importance has
been transacted to show the tendency of the market; it
was however anticipated that the business would be large.
The quotations at the departure of the steamer were :
Western Canal flour, 5 621 to 5 75; Gennessee wheat,
1 dol. 24c. to I dol. 26c. ; Indian corn, round yellow,
1 dol. 16c. to 1 dol. 18c. ; Southern wheat, 70 to 72;
LAM meal, 3 doh. 621 e. to 3 &N. 75e.
Exchange in fair &mend, at the following rates: On
London, 1091 to 1; Paris, 5 13; Hamburg, 351 to ;
Bremen, 791 to f.
In freights there is no material change to notice.

MINES.

•
THURSDAY EVENING.
The market for British dividend mining stocks is
active, and prices generally, especially for copper
mines, are looking up. The mere speculative stocks,
however, are neglected. The shares of the Devon
Great Console Company are advancing, owing to the
improvement in the mine reported below. We hear
of sales in Wheal Buller at 1,100; Devon Great
Consols, 430; West Providence, 541; Comford, 50;
Craddock Moor, 421; Alfred Consols, 161, 1 ; Tran-
neck and Bosence, 11; Gonamena, 10, 1; Spearne
Console, 101 ; Tamar Console, 61; Wheal Uny, 141;

51; Rix Hill, ; Ludcott, 325. 6d. ; Balnoon Con-
sols, 10 ; South Tamar, 61; East Tamar, IL 395.;
Wheel Zion, 21.
The gold mining shares remain dull, with little
business, and scarcely any change in prices.
In other foreign mines, the only feature was a
further fall in United Mexican, which receded to 51,
and closed 6 to 1.
The non-official quotations are : Peel River Land

MONTENEGRO.

We receive with the Vienna and Dalmatian papers
fuller accounts of the events noticed in yesterday's
telegraphic despatch. Respecting the operations at
Grahovo, the Oaserratore Daltnato of the 23rd ult.
says, "On tho 15th the Turkish cavalry advanced
upon Grahovo. Upon their approach the inhabitants
set fire to the out.lying houses resolved that they
should afford no shelter to the enemy. Meanwhile,
the Woiwode. with forty of his bravest adherents,
retired to his own house, which was fortified, and
resolved to defend it to the last drop of his blood.
According to the latest accounts, the house was
enveloped in flames, while a dreadful conflict raged
in the streets." In the same journal of the 25th ult.
we read further :—The floods of heavy rain descended
in time to stay the total conflagration of Grahovo.
Divisions of 'Darkish infantry and cavalry stand in
the neighbourhood of the town." The Meat Chnette
of the 29th ult. says :—We learn from Risavo that
the house of the Woiwoden Wujatich of Grahovo has
been entirely burut down by the Turks. Eighteen
Grahovians, among them the brother of the Woiwode,
having fought to the last extremity, perished in the
flames. Whether Wujatich himself fell into the
hands of the Turks, or saved himself by flight, is
unknown. The accounts published by the Dalmatian
papers respecting the operations of either side since
the 15th are conjectural and contradictory. Both
&des arc fighting with great bravery, and with all
that aggravated cruelty which has always marked
the hostile encounters of Montenegrins with Turks.
Letters from Vienna state the opinion of Austrian
officers that, notwithstanding some local successes,
the Montenegrins are daily losing ground, while
Omer Paella is completing his operations for the con-
quest of the country. Prince Daniel pays two ducats
per caput for every Turk's head brought to Cettinje.

WEST INDIA AND PACIFIC
MAILS.

CONTINUANCE OF YELLOW FEVER.
Yesterday, tho royal West India mail packet, La
Plata, Capt. Charles E. Weller, from the West Indies,
&c., arrived at Southampton, and landed her mails
under the charge of Lieut. O'Reilly, R.N., Admiralty
agent. The following are the dates of sailing: Vera
Cruz, Jan. 5 ; Tampico, 1; Havana, 9; Chagres, 8;
Carthagena, 11 ; Demerara, 9; Trinidad, 11; Barba-
does, 113 ; Antigua, 13; Martinique, 17 Grenada,
12; Porto Rico, 14; St. Thomas, 19; La Guayra, 9,
Bermuda, 11.

The La Plata brings 29 passengers, among whom
are : Mr. Phillips, Jamaica; Mr. Soler, Porto Rico ;
Mr. Wasbury, Mr. Meister, Mr. Souffraine and female
servant, Mr. Kerr, Capt. Desmuns, Mr. Delacourt,
Mr. Clifford, St. Thomas; Mr. and Mrs. Leith,
Mr. E. Johnston, Valparaiso; Mr. Schaffer, Mr. St.
Ours, Mr. Mansilla, Panama ; Mr. Clarke, Cartha-
Vena ; Mr. Johnston, Mr. Ehcnnett, Mr. lterkeral,
era Cruz; Mrs. M•Leod and three children, Mr.
Dadril, Trinidad; Rev. Mr. Dillon, lady, and four
children, Dominica; Mr. Jeffries, Barbadoes; Mr.'
W. Brand, Demerara; Mr. Lahaye, Guadaloupe;
IRev. Mr. Edwards, chaplain of her Majesty's ship
Dauntless, Dr. Allman, 2nd West India Regiment,
Barbadoes; four gunners and drivers, Jamaica; one
gunner and driver, Barbadoes.
The freight on board consists of 1,000,000 dole.
from Tampico, Vera Cruz, and Panama, of which
21,500 dolt'. are on account of Mexican dividends;
138 wrong of cochineal, 32 serons ofjalap, Barons of
indigo, 51 cases of cigars, 2 bales of sarsaparilla, 30
kegs of ginger, and 59 packages of sundries.
The deaths in the West India Company's fleet since
last adviccs are : Messrs. Ede, Channel, and
Priagle, pursers; Mears. Woolle and Allen, mid-
shipmen ; Messrs. Irvine and Bacy on, engineers of
the Dee. Also Miss Pope, and Messrs. Brown,
Mills, and Behr.

The yellow-fever is declining in the West Indies.
It is worse at St. Thomas than at any place : 75
men have died on board the Dauntless. The Ad-
miral has ordered her to be towed into a northern
latitude; but the captains of her Majesty's ships
will not allow their men to go on board of her. Who-
ever goes on board of her is almost sure to die.
The La Plata has been very healthy both on her
outward and home ward voyage. Only one man has
died on board of her, and that was from dysen-
tery. Dr. Wibliu, the health-officer, has given her
pratique.
Jamaica was very healthy.

WHERE ARE OUR SHIPS

$13,—1 quits concur in your observations of to-
day ; there is no reel necessity tee an increase of the stand-
ing army, and the experience of all time, especially of the
Ilpresent, shows that the necessity of keeping up large
standing armies boa always been destructive to public
liberty.
Our transatlantic brethren well understand this, for
while their regular force is small, the militia is large.
Any danger from abroad could only be from a hostile
navy—it is by • fleet alone the enemy could pontoon the
channel. Our strength and security depend upon the ap-
plication of our fleet. We bays ships enough and to spare
if they are properly placed, and in those, not in more
soldiers, must reside ourstrength. G.
Londca, Feb. 2, 1853.

ILL-TREATMENT OP A CREW.—Captain Charles
Percival Dizon, master of the ship Sarah Charles, 222 tons
register, kust left London on a foreign voyage to the Cape
of Good Hope, but which put into Swanna for a cargo of
patent fuel, summoned the whole of his able seaman before
the magistrates of Swansea on Saturday, for non-perform-
anise of duty. The men, being called on for their reason,
made a long statement to the beneb, the effect of which wee,
that when they left London for Swansea they bad no lights
allowed them to cook victuals with. They could not eat
the pork given them, which woo all alive, full of mag-
gots, and the bread so mildewed that they could not
town it. They signed articles for half a pound of
flour per day per man, but the steward told them he could
not cook it for them—he could not break the lumps in it.
They also signed fir peas three times a week, but they
had beam given them instead. Ti.e sugar they could not
touch, it was so bad. The mate produced some of the arti-
cles. The dough made from the flour was quite black, the
bread quite green and mildewed, and the liquor called soup
looked more like dirty water than anything else. The cap-
tain said the men had the provisions as he bought them.
A full bench of magistrates decided that the captain had
evidently broken his contract with hie men, and refused to
compel the men to go on board. The Custom-house au-
thorities were ordered to make a survey of the ship.
The proceedings created quite a stir in the town, and
the decision of the magistrates gave very general satis-
faction.
London, England, 1853-02-03

WINDWARD AND LEEWARD ISLANDS.
...

Until within the last two months, these islands,
with the exception of Dominica and Antigua, have
been suffering much from want of rain. The sugar
crops, in consequence, have been much injured, end
will fall far short of last year—Barbadoes being at
least 16,000 hogsheads.
We regret to add that yellow fever still continues
its dread ravages amongst all classes and all colonies,
in the Islands of Barbados., Trinidad, St. Lucia,
Martinique, and Guadeloupe. Indeed, a funeral-
pall seems to hang over, and a general mourning
Iprevail over the whole of these colonies, without
exception. For whether from yellow fever, small-
pox, hooping-cough, and the general fevers of the
country, never, since the memorable year of 1816,
has the King of Terrors reaped such a fearful har-
vest. Antigua in particular has been deprived of
the greater portion of its oldest and most respected
inhabitants.

It would be difficult to describe the feelings of the
colonists in general upon their perusal of the speeches
of ministers upon the Budget received by the last
mail. It is not that the death-knell of all their hopes of
protection has been rung, but they looked for this
from other hands. Well might they ask—What value
is now to be placed ou the vaunted sugar motions,
and frequent declarations of sympathy of the colonial
minister? What credence to be given to the cele- '
brated pamphlets of Lord Stanley on the West India
Colonies, while just indignation pervades the whole
community on the cold-blooded and premeditated in-
sult contained in the palpably ignorant assertion of
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, " That the non-
acceptance of a government loan proves their pros-
perity ?" As well might it be said, that were you to
place bread before a starving beggar, whose limbs
were utterly paralysed, his inability to stretch forth
his hand and seise the loaf was a proof that he was
neither hungry nor paralytic. Welooniis—
welcome Brother Jonathan—anything or everything
except such recreant statesmen.

MONTENEGRO.

The Vienna Prease states that George Petrowitch
has been informed by the Austrian government that
orders have been given to the authorities acting on
the' Montenegrin frontier to admit and shelter any
