MARKETS.
RIO DE JANEIRO, JULY 5.
An average amount of business was transacted in im-
ports ; some animation prevailed in coffee after the ar-
rival of the Tay, and the sales were extensive. The
most important feature of the money market was that
the share mania diminished, and most descriptions were
lower.

The fever abated materially, and the few cases which
exist would not at any other period create more than or-
dinary attention."

HEALTH OF LONDON DORING THE WEEK.

In its leading symptoms the cholera which prevails at

present differs little from Asiatic cholera, but it is
London less rapid in its course than Asiatic cholera; it
is less influenced by elevation of soil, it always prevails
more or less in summer, and comparatively few persona
are attacked; hence it is a variety which, for the sake of
distinction, way be called summer cholera.
Dr. Macloughlin, an inspector during the epidemic of
1849, requests the Registrar-General to call the atten-
tion of medical informants to the importance of stating
in all cases bow long premonitory symptoms of the up=
proach of cholera preceded the attack in its fatal form.
No cases of diarrheas, should be neglected in the present
season. They should be immediately treated.

registered in the week. " Summer" has been substituted

Mr. Joseph Chatwood, senior, registrar of the

district of St. Paul, St. George-in-the-East, thus ob-
serves:—" The deaths registered by me this week are
more than double the average of many weeks; 12 out of
the 15 were children. With the exception of diarrhoea,
which is just now very rife among infants, the causes
were of an ordinary character. Smallpox is very pre-

fatal."

are overflowing."
At 5, Ogle street, All Souls, Marylebone, on the
sth of August, the daughter of a shoemaker, aged 4
years, " scarlatina maligns (7 days)" The medical at-

stench in this house is almost unbearable, and its filthy
condition renders it very unhealthy."

THE YORK MEE LING.

TO THE EDITUti UF THE SUN.
SIR,—In continuation of my ob3ervations on the
Present meeting outside the walls of Old Ebor, des-
ti"ccl, I almost imagine, this year to be the best on re-
cord, I have arrived at the second day's races,
which will commence with the Colt Sapling
Stakes, of 50 soya. each, ~30 g ft, over the
T.Y.0., about five furlongs 44 yards. Oat of an
entry of eleven, in all probability, not more than
three, or four at the outside, will appear at the
post. Sir C. Monck's VINDEX, I think, must prove
the winner, without Ireland's Eye bas wonderfully im-
proved in the last three or four weeks.
The l3ramham Park Stakes of 100 soya. each, 30 ft,
for. three years old, one mile and a:half, will most pro-
bably be a walk over for BLACK AUDREY or MERRY-
GO ROUND.

The Ebar Handicap of 20 soya. each, 15 ft, with 200
added, &c., over two mites on the old tours',
will, as far as I can at present ascertain, be
contested by Voltigeur, Montague, Hippolytus,
Little Harry, Haricee, Sir Rowland, Trenchard,
Frantic, Lady Eden, Weathergege, Bilberry, one of
Dewsoe's—which is not very clear to my percep•
Lion to•cley—llyacintb, and perhaps one or two others,
of whom I have rec,ived, no account. Voltigeur, with
all his weight, will run forward, but I cannot imagine
that be will be the absolute winner. My opinion of
Montague has been already expressed: if quite up to the
mark on the day he ought not to be beaten, although the
course would not suit him much better were it a quarter
or hair mile longer than it is. Hippolytus, sem- weight
as Montague, that is 7st, has to concede to the latter
two years in age, which I doubt his being able succees-
fully to do. Little Harry, notwithstanding that he car-
ries the stable money and is supported rather freely by
some of
the " talent," at 6st 131 b (Nancy's weight last
year, by the bye), to my idea, cannot have a first-rate
chance
of clearing the post first, although he may be very

race. Weathergaee, the present crack, at as
it
as 6 to 1, and freely taken too, with his 101 b
extra
for winning the Goodwood Stakes, possesses bat littler
attraction for my weatherwise optic. It is a very
different thing, considering the chance of Montague
alone against him, the carrying sst 61b to Montague's
7st 31b at Goodwood, and his having on his back at
York 6st 31b to Montague's 7st; thus giving Montague
a favourable balance of 1411)5, more than equivalent I
should say to his defeat of two lengths. bilberry, at
the feather of 4st, I cannot have at any price. To sum
up, it is my opinion that the finish will be somewhat
closely contested by Montague, Haricot, Little Harry,
Voltigeur, and Merry Bird; Voltigeur and Little Harry
compounding first, and the other three running into the
first, second, and third places, MONTAGUE not im-
probably occupying the premier position.
The issue of elle Prince of Wales' Stakes, T.Y.C., will
depend materially upon the running for the Convivial
Stakes of the previous day: Scott, however, would seem
to have the stake perfectly safe for his starter. Among
the darkies on the opposition side the Lord-Lieutenant
and Fairthorn are likely animals.
The Eglinton Stakes, at the present moment, I feel
inclined to book to the Fortress colt or Dagobert, but
this must be understood to be in the absence of Pharos.
The Filly Stakes on Friday, notwithstanding the pre-
sence of Vaultress, will, I imagine, fall to the lot of
Captain Harcourt's Fairthorn; more about this stake
next Monday.
The Great Yorkshire Stakes of 10 sous. each, with
100 added, over the mile and three, quarter course, has
this year one hundred and sixty•eight names on the sub-
scription list. What the field may be composed of at
this time, a week before the period for the running of
the race, I cannot with any certainty say; but no doubt
we shall see Stockwell, Augur, King of Trumps, Maid-
stone, and a couple from Scutt 's stable at the post.
Scott's lot, or rather the more important portion of it,
consists of Kingfisher. Longbow, and Songstress. Two
oat of these three, as I have before remarked, will doubt-
less run; but which those two will be I cannot now
divine ; Stockwell's chance I consider decidedly
the best, and I think the distance, especial),
over such a course as this, will suit him better than
those ho has been principally tried over. He is in first-
rate form, and has been doing good work for some time
past. Scott's Songstress, I should imagine, would have
been kept for her engagement at Doncaster, as the sum
invests d on her chance for that event is so large, but
they seem inclined to try her at York, where, however,
I shall be astonished, notwithstanding that she will have
the assistance of Butler, if she improves upon the second
place. King of Trumps is the only other one that seems
to have any hope of competing successfully with tie
crack, but his doing so is very dubioua. Altogether, I
consider that Norman will have the pleasure of bearing
the blue and white stripe past the post triumphantly on
the back of STOCKWELL.
Of course, if Stockwell win this event, he will be just
about even against the field for the Great St. Leger;
to determine on their
therefore, it behoves speculators
