POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
Bo IV-STI?RET.
THE WESTMINSTER ELECTION.—John Lillytright, a
labower, and u youth named John Jones, were placed at
the bar, before Mr. Jardine, charged with throwing
mi'silea at General Evans.
Constable Poc ,ek, of the F division,
when
that he
was on duty in Covent•garden Market,
Evans arrived at the hustings on horseback. ergeenera I
Gal-
lant Candidate was instantly as-ailed by the shouts and
al-
execrations of the mob, and by a shower of missiles,
several of which struck the General and frightened his
horse. Witness caught the first prisoner's hand just as
he had discharged the stalk of a cabbage, and he was
detected at the same moment by one of the beadles of
the mai ket.

Constable 91 F saw the prisoner Jones in the act of
throwing a cabbage-stalk, which struck the General
with such violence on the side of his head that it al-
most caused him to fall from his horse.
The prisoners denied the accusations of the police,
stating that the missiles were thrown by some other
persons standing close by them.
Mr. JARDINE was very glad that the police were
taking measures to prevent, as far as possible, the very
di,gracetul proceedings which always characterised a
Westminster election; and, as tar as the magistrates were
concerned, they were equally determined to do their duty
in the mattt.r. He should fine each of the defendants
408., or commit them for a month in default of payment.
The defendants, who appeared to regard the practice
of throwing missiles at the candidates on these occasions
as one of the glorious franchises of the Constitution,
were startled by the decision of the magistrate, and
roared so lustily that the officers were compelled to re-
move them to the police station.
In the course of the afternoon about a dozen similar
charges were brought before his Worship, some of the
defendants having directed their missiles against the free
and independent voters who arrived at the polling-
booths in the various hackney carriages provided by Lord
Maidstone and the other candidates. Fines varying from
20s. to 40s. were inflicted, or a proportionate term of
imprisonment in default of payment.

HEALTH OF LONDONDURING THE WEEK.
(From the Register-General's Report )
The d, aths registered in the metropolitan districts in
the week that ended last Saturday amounted to 987, a
number nearly the same as in the previous week. The
returns of both weeks represent rather more than the
actual mortality in the 'two periods, being augmented,
as usually occurs at the end of a quarter, by coroners'
cases that properly belong to antecedent dates.
In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1842.51
the average number of deaths was 897, which, if raised
in proportion to the increase of populatit,n, brcomes 987.
Hence it appears that the number of deaths returned
last week is precisely equal to the calculated amount.
The mortality arising from diseases of the respiratory
organs has &creased from 110 in the preceding week
to 91 in the last, which nearly agrees with the average
of corresponding weeks. Fatal cases arising from
zyrnotio c,mplaints have also decreased from 215 to 187,
while the corrected average is 239. Last week the
deaths recorded as caused by smell-pox were 31, five
0, which were among person+ of Filature age. Scarla-
tina destroyed the lives of 33 children; typhus, remit-
tent fever, &c., those of 13 children, of 24 persons in
middle life, and of 7at advanc• d age, in all 44. Two
children died of syphilis; one of noma.
Three de iths were registered that occurred in the
Small-pox Hospital, ot which the following are the par-
ticulars:—
On 27th June a female servant from Canning-place,
Kensington, aged 20 years, died of '' small-pox, con-
fluent, unmodified (16 clay). Vaccinated in Cork,
when 10 )ears old, by a woman; ~or, imperfect cicatrix.

At 6. dames Lodge, .Holloway, on 3d July, the daugh-
ter of a horse-keeper, aged 4 months, died of .. small-
pox (8 days), not vaccinated." Mr. Watts mentions
'btu," the mother by some means, which could not be
accounted tor, had taken small-pox, though she had
been vaccinated, and the deceased infant was sucklA at
her breast; the husband and an elder daughter have
also taken the disease, though both had been vaccinated."
At 11, Sufrolk•street, King's-cross, On 29th June, the
daughter of' a labourer, aged 4 months, died of .,con.
