ti.EAL7'fIOF LONDON DURING THE WEEK.
• (From the Registrar-General's Report.)
The number of deaths from all causes registered in
tire' !rticerortelitan. districts in the week •ending last
Saturday was 1,051. An improVement is evident in
,?his result when compared with the returns for 'the
previous four weeks,• in which severallkthe mortality
rose above 1,200. In the ten Corresponding weeks of
the years 1842,51 ibe average •was- 938, which, if
corrected for increase of population, becomes 1,032.
The-amount of last week therefore nearly coincides
with the estimated number.
the tabl6 of fatal diseases still,: however, shows
135 deaths caused by diseases of the organs of respi.;
ration, or nearly-a fourth of the total number, and
that the tnoi talitae under this head has not undergoee
ane considerable reduction. The corrected. average of
this class is':oalyief7B. These 235 cases. are thus dis-
tributed : laryngifia4, pleurisy 4, bronchitis 122,
pneumonia 80, aethrint and other diseases 25. Hence
it appears on a comparison • with • the previous week
!alit pneumonia Voutialues as fatal, while bronchitis,
which greatly exceeded the average, also maintains
about the same. _ amount. The number of deaths
ascribed toihthisis is now.less ; it :bra decreased from
.161, in the previous week to 146 in the last, which is
about the aVerage."-
In. the epidemic. class ofdiseases there appears some
tendency to, increase. Small-pox was fatal to 25
children and 9 adults, scarlatina to 35 •persons ; 11
children were carried off by measles, 47 •by hooping-
cotigb, and 8 hfciroup ; 4 persons, died of influenza

he adds "that the medical man considered thedeath of

by this malaria in which she bad lived for many years.

Mr. Jay, registrar of the Hanover-square sub-
district, tames that .of 88 'deaths registered by him in
the first three months of the year, 31, or mere than a
mini, were caused by diseases of the respiratory
organs. Of the fatal Ca... 5 of small-pox it could not
be clearly ascertained in any that the persons had
been well protected. Mr. Leonard, of the Charing-

cross sub—listrict, states that he registered only ob-e
death from small pox during the same three months,
but that the disease has been very prevalent. He
considers that the protective power of vaccination has
bk-en evident, and that from the neglect of parents it
ought to be enforced by enactment.

ice Minister of Police, gm,
p succeeded in restoring
order,, and' affairs have proceeded in a satisfactory
manner since then. General (Urquizs had visited
Buenos Ayres, having been received with every
demonstration of regard. Some insinuations have
been made against General Manzilla, that being aware
that General Roses hal promised his army, if success-
ful, the pillage of the city, he did not take those
measures beforehand in his Power to prevent the dis-
turbances he should have anticipated would occur;
and letters from the General to the commissioners he
appointed. to wait on General Urquiza, with their
answers; have been, published by him in refuation of
the charge.
Roses having, before his departure, plundered the
public treasury to its last dollar, a decree has been
issued, of which he following is an extract •--
."Leaving as yet to the appreciation' of history and of
the world the bloody crimes of Don Juan Manuel Roses,
as alio the immense evill that he has brought upon the
country in i.s Moral order, It is impossible to overlook
the material injuries thet he hes so profanely scattered
upon it. To this class belotees the protracted series of
Toiations and appropria ions to himself of the public
reveeued, wherewith be so ehatnelesily augmented his
privet° fortune, in pregerce of the very community that
he compelled to eau-it his feigned purity. The Go-
vernmeet-tioes not at present take into consideration the
acts of that man, considered as tin evil adminis-
tratbr; that is to say, it does not allude to the arbi-
trary end prejudicial inversion of a great part of these
funds in objects and views notoriously obposed to the
public good, employed to corrupt men and perpetuate
his power, by perpetuating ruinous and unjust wars, at
the same time that he disregareed entirely sacred obli-
gations, end abandoned establishments indispensable in
civilized communities. But for the first magistrate of a
community to appropriate to himself the funds that re-
present its swear, is not to administer well or ill, it is to
steal and plunder with very aggravated circumstances.
In this view Don Juun 'Maraud Roses is merely a public
debtor, 'bound to restitution, and to redress of grievances.
-Assuredly it does not' enter into the principles of the
Government to accept the barbarous and anti-social
dogma of Rolitical cou64cation, introduced into the coun-
try lay that man; but to cause him to refund, as
far as . possible, all that he has robbed, "does
and must enter: This ' determination, conformable
to the general principles that impose responsi-
bility on every indieidoal.. that- administers public
property,. is the more jut and urgent in this case, in
that a great 'legacy' 'of fiscal embarrassments, debts,
chaos, and -confution has Teen beg:wattled to the country
by the dietatorisiezdministratinn. Unfortunately the
assets of this debtor, though many and valuable, can
only cover a very small proportion of this immense debt;
but though respectively few, it is indispensable to satisfy
upon-them this supreme exigence of public justice.
" Bier all these reasons, the Government has accorded
and decrees:—
"Art. Ist.--All the property of every kind belonging
to Don Juan Manuel Roses, and Existing in the territory
of the province, is declared public property.'
The above decrees are copied from the British
Packet, which has heretofore been under the despotic
control of General Roses, and it is somewhat amusing
to observe how those who conduct this journal make
use of their emancipation.
" The proclamation of General U.; quiza to the people
of Buenos Ayres is the starting point of the era on
which we have entered; the corner-stone of the social
edifice to be reconstructed; the pole-star that can alone
guide the Argentines to a haven of Beet), and repose.
To illustrate its spirit and tendency, and inculcate a rigid
adherence to its prescriptions is the-preferent mission of
the public press.

The general oblivion of all grievances must be re-
Fponded to in a cordial end Christian spirit. The excep-
tiOnb are few and clearly defined, and no motive of personal
resentment, still less of party rivalry, can j ustify
the slight-
est deviation from the count) traced out in that most im-
portant document. It social rights have been invaded, or
material interests compromised, redress must be sought
through the ministry of the laws, allowing the Govern-
meut and the tribunals to set with the dignified indepen:
deuce and calm and mature deliberation so requisite
to unravel the complications of a long exceptional
reyinte, that must henceforth be mentioned or remem-
bered oozy to guard against the
ranee. possibility of its rtcar

pued."
Letters from Rio de Janeiro mention a belief that
Brazil was getting the worst of it in Monte Video,
the presidential chair having been allotted to a leading
Orbiste. In Buenos Ayres, also, the satisfaction was
by no means general ; for although Urquiza had
hitherto acted well, he. was not much trusted, and thz
people wished to get rid of his unpaid army.

resources of ihese young communities, and auguring
the most happy results from their innate buoyancy and
elasticity.
Several sates by suction, in currency, at two, four, and
six months, have already been attempted,
The A:np but, we on-
derstand, with only partial success. oetition is
evidently among the sellers; the demand and prices re-
gulated by the immediate necessities of the local market.
From this state of uncertainty, sudconscquent paralyza,-
tient we cam only escape by a diniuc ii4igalltiou of the

,
ulterior views of the Government; and we may add that
the sooner such intimation is given the better, as it will
enable parties to decide on the most advantageous course
to be pursued in their respective circumstances,, and re-
store the movement and animation, which so many causes
have conspired to deaden and depress.
With articles of daily consumption the mirket in
general is abundantly supplied. Several of the recent
importations from Bruzil'and the Mediterranean remain
in first hands; prices in metallic continuing almost sta•
tionary; becauso holders are aware that a few months in
general serve to rectify and re-adjust any accidental dis-
between the supply and demand. Were the ex-
istingparyi t
stocks in this department forced into circulation,
a considerable depression of prices, and probAly a sort
of temporary crisis, would be the consequence.
The extreme fluctuations of our money market, and
especially the buoyant tendency of our paper currency,
must press hard on retail dealers who hold heavy stocks.
Fortunately, there has latterly been very little disposi-
tion to speculation. At all events, no failures have taken
place, and the many sales by public auction clearly show
that general confidence has been in a great measure re-
stored.

EXPORTS.
The crisis through which we have passed will readily
explain the considerable falling off in the exports of the
present month. But there is a general languor and inac-
tivity, that may be traced to other accidental causes.
Exports are necessarily deterred by the nose, tied state
and declared upward tendency of our paper currency,
while producers show a very natural reludtance to sub-
mit to the corresponding reductions in the nominal
prices to which they have been accustomed. Besides,
heavy hides, the staple article in demand for the Euro-
pean markets, have this season been unusually scarce,
while the North Americans, our best customers for the
lighter classes have been keeping aloof for several months
pet.
The cause of this temporary derangement arises-frot4
the promiscuous slaughter of herds, old and young,
male and female, without regard to the general rules
and princplea that regulate our saladaro operations in
ordinary times. We may now expect a reaction. With
the prospect of unfettered enterprise and general secu-
city, breeding cattle are likely to ac quire an enhanced
value, and export produce, though more select in quality,
may probably for a time be less abundant. In this view,
we are disposed to think that prices may rule high,
although we have no Apprehension—as some appear to
have—of a protracted scarcity of produce.

RIO DE JANEIRO, Mellott 15.
We regret to state that the yellow fever is again
pre=
valent in this port. The crews of foreign ves,ela are
suffering severely. Oa shore the cases aro few, and
generally not fatal.
Since the date of our last ciKcular, the 12th nit., the
exchange has experienced' further depression.- 'rho rate
opened at 27 and 27k. and subsequently declined to .27
and 26k. The transactions ror this conveyance,

Coffee—Prices having dfclined from 50 to 100 re.,
transactions recommenced immediately after the depar-
ture of last steamer, the Teviot, and, though not exten-
sive, and wjth oceasional,interruptions, business has been
doing ever since at our quotations. The purchases,
which were principally for the United States, amounted
last month to 120,000 bags, and this month, so far', to
55,000 bags. The supplies are regular, and consist al-
most exclusively of inferior descriptions, for which there
is no inquiry but at a considerable reduction in prices.
Of the better qualitieti our receip►.s are very scanty, and
holders keep firm. As regards the forthcoming crop
the reportl continue to be favourable. Stock on hand
180,000 bags, of which about 130,000 bags are of ordi.
nary descriptions.

The clearances last month were 76,003 bags of coffee,
of which 13,362, for the United States (against,l24,s7s
bags in Abe same period.of 1851); 3,743 for Abo, 10,688

barrels, 200 begs from Campos, and 300 cases, 530 bar-
rels, 6,300 bags from Pernainbuco and Mucci°. The
sales comprise 700 cases, 1,000 barrels, 800 bags Cam-
pus, of which 560 cases, 1,000 barrels, for t xportation,

cases Campos and 140 cases, 380 barrels, 2,000 bags

Hides—Continuo almost neglected. The arrivals
have been very limited. Sales about 4,000 Rio Grande
hides, principally heavy, at 168 reis. Stuck 55,000, of
which 35,000 are Rio Grande.
Stock—Notwithstanding the great abundance of capi-
tal the transactions in Six pdr Cent. Stock have been
very moderate. The only sales reported were at 98 to
99, at which they closed unaltered. In Provincial no-
thing doing.

Sugar—There is little or no alteration in this article
since our last number; inferior qualities are neglected,
and selling at almost all prices, according to quality;
good Cotinguibas are still inquired after at 1.700 reis for
browns, and 2,400 per arroba whites, at Is hich..exchange
27d., they stand ia 153. sd. and 193. per cwt. free on
board, exclusive of freight. Several dap of heavy rains
during the week again tend to prevent the arrival of
supplies, and, as the winter season is drasving near, a
great deficit in this year's crop must be looked for.
Cotton—The stocks on hand continue insignificant,
.Ind no sales have transpired; the list were at 5,000 reis
per arrubi, at which, exchange 274., it costs 4,94 d, per
pound free on hoard, without freight. Several eargoer<
zsre hourly expected from the north.

Coffee:-Ai7rivals from the interior are falling off, and
the little which appeared in the market was sold at
3,204 reis to 3,400 reis, acoordiog to quality, at which.

Cocoa—lnsignificant lots from the interior were die-
of at 1,900 reis to 1,923 reis per arroba; in good
no sales base trsnapired, and quotations are nominal.
Tobacco—The stocks in the public warehouses amount
to about 16,000 bales, and, although holders are firm
not to sell below 2,450 reis and 2,400 reis per arroba for
seconds and thirds closed leaf, they will most likely have
to submit to lower prices ere long; small lots have
already been disposed of at 2,300 reis, and even 2,200
reis per arroba.

Freights—With the exception of a vessel taken up
by the consignee at, it is said, 30a. per too, nothing has
been done, but the rates appear to be a little firmer;
255. and even 275. 6d. per ton having been offered and
refused.

Exchange—Considerable transactions have taken place
during the week at 27d., and the business for the steamer
may be considered as closed.
PERNAMBUCO, AfAucu 24.

Sugars—We estimate our stock to be about 85,000 to
90,000 bags; for sale two or three cargoes hve been
bought this week, browns at 1,400 refs, and whites
(thirds and fourths) at 2,080 to 2,100 reis per arroba; of
fine sugars we have not much on hand, end none have
been bought under 2,400 reis; they must come down
considerably ere any purchases of moment can take
place, and to effect this an entire withdrawal of export,
ing houses from the market must exist.
Cotton—This article has been bought up as it arrives;
the arrivals from the interior are small, and trading ves-
sels existing in the harbour have kept up
from 4,800 to 5,000 refs. the prices of
Exchange—Since our last steamer about 60,0001 have
changed hands, principally at 27d.; of this the Govern-
ment has taken about 15,0001.; about 4,0001. have been
transacted at 26d. long credit, and 3,0001. at 26d. at
about 30 days' credit, all 60 days' bills.
By the Brazi-
lian steamer San Salvador, arrived on the 20th inst.,
from the South, we find that exchange was flat in Rio
de Janeiro at 27d., and transactions had been efficted at
260., 60 and 90 ays' bills. In Bahia, 27d., at which
rate the Government had taken bills.
Manufactured goods—We are still unable to note any
improvement in this branch of baainess; we received 27
packages per Julius Caesar, and 252 packages from Phi-
ladelphia per Mitiesota; stock is very heavy, and sales
are very trifling. We learn that sales by auction had
taken place in Rio du Janeiro to a considerable extent,
leaving a loss of upwards of 12 per cent. on first cow;
and we can it,tte positively that few or no goody that are
sold today leave anything but heavy 1‘)"", and it is
very improbable that this can
be held out long; to avoid
what we now experience, a complete
`)t '°PP3gt, for some
time of shipments at home must take plaze.
