At Sydenham, in Wells-road, on 14th October, the
wife of a plasterer, aged 38 years, died of " typhus,
effusion in the pericardium." Mr. Morris, the medical
attendant of this case, writes :—" The house in w.hich
this person resided is damp and not waterproof, and is
surrounded by open ditches of the most disgusting na-
ture. At the back of the house is a privy which ejects
all the soil into the open air, and is enough to cause
cholera, fevers, and diseases of the worst description.
In the same house lies a child now ill with fever, and
the woman who looked after the deceased began to suffer
from fever caught while residing in the house ; and two
other children have been also attacked. The house is
situated at the top of Wells-road."
In the sub-district of Plumstead, in Victoria-road,
Chariton, on the 14th and 17th October, the son and
daughter of an engineer, aged respectively 2 and 4 years,
died of " scarlatina." " Scarlatina (says Mr Burnett,
registrar) is now more prevalent and fatal in the Chad-
ton portion of my district than it has been at any period
since the autumn of 1848. Scarcely a case has been re-
gistered in which there has not been evidence of want
of drainage, want of cleanliness, or some nuisance in the
immediate neighbourhood."
In Haggerstone East, at 1, Uinon-street, on 18th of
October, the son of a gas-labourer, aged 6 years, died of
" typhus (6 months), tuberculois (4 months)." Mr.
Ditchman states that " the pipe sewer on these pre-
mises ran through the yard, the drains all untrapped,
and often emitting a bad smell."

In Spitalfields, at 8, Vine-yard, on the 14th October, a
labourer, aged 65 years, died of "constipation of bowels
(5 days)." Mr. Deboos, the registrar, remarks, "A
very offensive effluvium arises from a privy next door
to this house, and the drainage is very imperfect."
In Collier-street, St. Nicholas, Deptford, the son of
a chimney-sweep, aged 5 years, died of " scarlatina."
Mr. Paine, the registrar, says, " Informant complained
of her house being very damp and without drainage, and
stated if her husband had not dug a trench and a hole
in the next yard that the heavy rains we have had
would have run into their sitting-room."
Last week the births of 743 boys and 750 girls, in all
1,463 children, were registered in London. The average
number in eight corresponding weeks of the years
1845 52 was 1,400.

At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 29.357 in.
The mean temperature was 48.6 deg., which is slightly
below the average of the same week in 38 years. The
mean temperature rose from 47.6 deg. on Saturday ; the
latter is 8.9 deg. above the average. It was below the
average on the first five days of the week. The mean
difference between the dew-point temperature and air
temperature was 2.8 deg. The wind was generally in

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHALL.—The two lads, Skinner and Jeffrey,
who were remanded on a charge of causing the death of
a cabman in Holborn-hill, appeared on bail for further
examination.
Alderman Carter admonished them to be more care-
ful with their truck in future, and discharged them.
George Williams, a young man dressed like a porter,
was charged with a daring robbery at the warehouse of
Messrs. J. Coster and Co., of Aldermanbury.
About half-past one o'clock yesterday the prisoner en-
tered the warehouse, deliberately walked behind the
counter, and took two pieces of silk, valued at 201.,
which he put under his arm, and walked away. Mr.
Samuel Green, the superintendent of the establishment,
however was standing under the portico and stopped
him, and asked him what he had with him ? The fellow
replied "goods." Mr. Green next inquired whose the
goods were ; and he said " Jones of Islington." Know-
ing that they had no such customer he seized the parcel,
but the prisoner immediately relinquished his hold and
sprang from the top of the steps to the bottom and ran
away. Mr. Green followed and found him in Fountain-
court. In running away the prisoner dropped a sham
parcel made up, with a piece of paper like an invoice
under the string, for the purpose evidently of gaining
admission to warehouses by being mistaken for one of
the porters connected with the establishment, or coming
from some of the customers of the firm.

Alderman Carter remanded the prisoner for a week.

LAMBETH.—Mary Ann Smith, a decent looking
young womam, was charged with attempting to commit
suicide by throwing herself into the Surrey Canal.
A policeman, named Friar, who was on duty in the
Old Kent-road, saw her struggling in the water at about
10 o'clock on the previous Saturday night and pulled
her out. He conveyed her to the William the Fourth
public-house, where restoratives were applied, and after-
wards to the Camberwell workhouse. It appeared that
the poor girl, who was a servant, had been induced by a
fortune teller to give her some clothes, and that being
afterwards seized with remorse, she bad gone out and
made the attempt to drown herself. On the recommen-
dation of the master of the workhouse, who gave her a
good character, and in consequence of her own mani,
fest penitence, Mr. Elliott was induced to discharge the
prisoner.
James Goldsmith was charged with stealing a sove-
reign, the property of Mr. G. V. Wright.
Mrs. Wright said that about three weeks ago the pri-
soner called at her husband's house, No. 9, The Grove,
Clapham-road, and representing himself as a dissenting
minister, said he was endeavouring to sell a little cut-
lery and stationery for a most distressed family of chil-
dren, whose father was dead and whose mother was in
the hospital. She consented to purchase a couple of
shillings' worth of pens, and took a sovereign from her
purse, intending to send for change, but the prisoner
volunteered to procure it for her. She entrusted him
with the sovereign, and never saw him again until that
day, when she met him in the Borough, and gave him
into custody. When she charged the prisoner with the
offence, he stoutly denied it, but subsequently admitted
he was the man, and offered to pay her the 18s. if she
accompanied him to his residence in Fleece-yard.
The prisoner said that immediately after he had re-
ceived the change he met some old acquaintances, and
was induced to spend a portion of the money with them.
He hoped, however, his worship would permit him to
arrange the matter by getting the lady her 18s.
Mr. Elliott would allow no such thing, and remanded
the prisoner.

THAMES.—Williara Laut, an Irish labourer, aged
24, was charged with assaulting Catharine Millay, and
policeman Donald Al'Kay.
The female complainant was a prostitute, and while
she was talking to a boy in High-street, Shadwell, he
suddenly attacked her, and beat and kicked her in a
most brutal manner. M`Kay interfered, and was
treated in much the same way.
Defendant's excuse was that he was drunk, and did
not know what he was doing.
Mr. Yardley ordered him to be imprisoned, and kept
to hard labour for six calendar months.
A fine young woman, of very respectable appearance,
named Frances Reader, aged 19, was charged with at-
tempting to drown herself in the London Docks.
She was observed to throw herself into the water by a
custom-house officer, who fished her out with a hooked
esetavff.

commissioned at this port by Captain Lord Ciarence
Paget.
The Frolic, 12, sailing-sloop, is also ordered to be
commissioned here by Commander Nolloth, late of the

Plumper.
Captain Crispin, additional of the Victoria and Al-
bert, has been telegraphed up to the Admiralty to-day,
relative to the new royal yacht.
Last evening the wardroom officers of the Victory
gave Captain Shepherd, of that ship, a parting dinner,
as a testimonial of their respect, before his leaving them
to assume the superintendence of Woolwich dockyard.
Commander Boyle presided. During the time Captain
Shepherd has been in the Victory, he has secured the
regard and esteem of every officer, man, and boy in her ;
for, while he has conducted his duties in a strictly officer-
like manner, his conduct has been urbane, and his bear-
ing most courteous to all around him.
The London, 90, Captain Eden, is being expedited
for the Mediterranean station. She is being filled up
with provisions, as much as she can stow. She shipped
400 bags of bread to-day from the Clarence yard, and
has to receive 200 barrels of beef, pork, flour, and peas,
in addition to the stock on board, to-morrow.
The Terrible, 21, paddle-frigate, Captain M`Cleverty,
will coal to-morrow, and be provisioned on Friday, be-
fore leaving for Plymouth to embark Rear-Admiral Sir
Edmund Lyons for the Mediterranean.
The St. Jean d'Acre, 101, Captain the Hon. H.
Keppel, which came into harbour last night, is preparing
as fast as possible to receive Grant's distilling galley
which was made for the Duke of Wellington.
The Duke of Wellington, 131, Commodore Martin,
c. 8., is not to come into harbour, but is to have her de-
fects made good at Spithead. Her rudder has been un-
shipped and sent to the dockyard for repair.
The Arrogant, 46, Captain Yelverton, is also ordered
to repair her defects at Spithead. Artisans are now
employed in replacing her capstan (one of Brown's pa-
tent, not found to answer) by one of the ordinary
description ; other defects connected with the working
of the screw propeller will, it is expected, require an
ultimate docking to repair. She is still 30 hands short
of her complement.
The Fairy, Royal yacht, Master Commander Welsh,
was docked to-day to refit, in lieu of the Cusar, pro-
gress on which ship has been suspended for the present.
The Russian frigate Aurora, 44, was docked this
morningto repair her defects.

The Fearless steam-vessel conveyed Colonel Sir
Frederick Smith and a party of Ordnance officers to
Hurst Castle this morning, to inspect the works of de-
fence there, returning in the evening.
The Rolla, 8, apprentices' instruction brig, Lieutenant
Fen wick, in charge, re-bent sails this morning, and was
towed out to Spithead to-day by the tug.
The Tribune, screw, 30, Captain the Hon. S. T. Car-
negie, only made two runs along the measured mile on
Monday, one with and one against the tide, in conse-
quence of the harbour water with which her boilers were
filled boiling over into the cylinders, and thereby check-
ing a uniform full speed. However, so far, the runs
were fair, the results were as follows :—mean speed
9.668 knots ; mean revolutions 70 ; force of wind 4 to
5, on the bow in one direction, and on the quarter in
another. Yesterday six runs were made ; the first two,
with and against tide, in comparison with those of Mon-
day were singularly corroborated, viz., mean speed,
9.679 knots ; mean revolutions 68-25 ; force of wind
6t07 on the bow and beam. The mean of the six runs
was 9.552 knots, but, in consequence of the smoky coals
and steaming for portions of two days, the revolutions
fell off at the conclusion of the trials to under 66 per
minute. Captain the Hon. F. T. Pelham, Mr. Joshua
Field, F.R.S., Mr. Murray, Mr. Miller, Mr. Dinnen
(Inspectoi;of Machinery of the Admiralty), Mr. Roberts,
and other officers were on board.

The following mates passed through the Excellent to-
day, in gunnery, qualifying for the rank of Lieutenant :
—Messrs. A. R. Wright, W. Michell, S. P. Brett,
C. W. Buckley, Grant, C. E. Woodman, Adams,
N. Y. Morphy, H. Le Mesurier, Hankinson, and Stod•
dart.

PLYMOUTH, OCT. 26.
Admiral Berkeley arrived here to-day ;it is said that
three war-steamers are to be commissioned to-morrow.

Her Majesty's screw steamship Ajax, 58, Captain
Warden, went out of the Sound at 2 p.m. yesterday.
She continued in sight of the harbour until nightfall.
The Ajax is bound to Queenstown.

2 I across.

The ',screw steamship Agamemnon, 91, Captain Sir
Thomas Maitland, has been fitted with Griffiths' pro.
peller, and she is ordered to give it a trial at a measured
mile outside the breakwater. She is to try it at every
pitch, and report on the speed and tremulous motion ex-
perienced, by comparison with the common screw, but
it is stated that she cannot try it at a greater speed than
the old one, owing to the smallness of the well.
The frigate Alarm, having been ordered for commis-
sion, was towed from her moorings yesterday, and
brought to the jetty, preparatory to her being placed in
dock.

The General Screw Steamshipping Company's mail-
packet Queen of the South, Captain Norman, which left
Plymouth on the 16th of August for the Cape and Cal-
cutta, was detained two days at St. Vincent's in conse-
quence of being unable to work her screw when she
arrived. The defect was rectified there, and she pro-
ceeded on her voyage. When the Calcutta left the Cape
on the 22d of September there was no intelligence of the
Queen of the South.

PE AIBIZOKE,

The Pique frigate, which has been so long in this
dockyard undergoing the most extensive and important
repairs is at length to be completed without delay, and
navigated round to one of the other ports—rumour says
for immediate commissioning, This fine vessel has not
only received a thorough refit, but has been almost re-
built, and will now carry 40 guns, her former rating
being 36. She has been one of the " crack " frigates,
and it is anticipated that she will yet maintain her name
for speed. The fortifications of the arsenal and haven
have been officially inspected by Lord Raglan, Master-
General of the Ordnance, and Sir John Burgoyne, In-
spector-General of Fortifications. The erection of the
additional defences at the mouth of the haven is pro-
ceeding satisfactorily.

CAPTAIN EMIONSTONE.-Captain Edmonstone, the
second senior commander promoted this week, has served
afloat 22 years. William Edmonstone, born Jan. 29,

Timothy Curtis, he appears to have been dangerously
wounded in the face and arm, while employed in the
boats, in a desperate action with some pirates off the
island of Candia, June 18, 1826. Mr. Edmonstone,

120, ordinary depot at Devonport. Captain Edmon-
stone married, July 13, 1841, Mary Elizabeth, eldest
daughter of Lieut.-Colonel T. W. Parsons, resident of
Island of Zante.

THE NEW CAPTAIN OF THE ARROGANT.—Captain
Hastings Reginald Henry Yelverton, better known in
the service as Captain Henry, appointed to the com-
mand of the Arrogant, 47, screw, at Portsmouth, vice
Fremantle, is the husband of the Dowager Marchioness
of Hastings. He was born in March, 1808, and is son

The sale of a portion of Lord Exeter's stud which took
place in the morning somewhat retarded the business of
settling—the muster at the rooms being in consequence
very scanty until nearly noon. A slow, but unsatisfac-
tory progress was made in adjusting balances on the
Cambridgeshire, but a large number of accounts stand
over until the customary settling at Tattersall's on
Monday. The racing commenced at one o'clock. The
weather was delightfully fine, the sport ample, and the
attendance of company quite equal to an average.
TWO-YEAR-OLD STAKES, BEDFORD.—The following an-
nouncement was this day posted in the betting-room
" The stewards of the Jockey Club having acquitted
the jockeys of Alabama and Governess in the Two-year-
old Stakes at Bedford of Riding with the intention of
losing the race, the bets on the said race must be paid."
