Government and Lord Palmerston for the liberty of
speech not only allowed bat invited in this country.
—[Lord Palmerston's name was received with loud
cheers.) Although many Hungarian patriots had
perished and others were exiled, the cause for which
they suffered still remains. From the land which
bad been covered with the blood of the martyrs
would arise ten thousand more to avenge the deaths
of their countrymen. —(Cheers.)
The Rev. D. JAMBS, of Kirkdale, next addressed
the meeting in English, and moved the second resolu-
tion, as follows :—" That the noble conduct of the
Turkish Sultan, in refusing to comply with the in-
iquitous demand of Russia and Austria for the extra-
dition of Kossuth and the other Hungarian and
Polish refugees has excited universal admiration
throughout this country. That the thanks of this
meeting be tendered to Lord Palmerston (of whose
general policy it highly approves) for having energeti-
cally supported the Turkish Government in their
resistance to this unparalleled aggression by dispatch-
the British fleet to the Dardanelles ; and that his
Lordship be assured that his efforts to preserve the
independence of an ancient and valuable ally of the
British nation will receive the cheerful and ready
support of all classes in this country, provided that
the Turkish Government adheres to its original
resolution, and whilst it affords protection to the
refugees imposes no restraint on their personal
liberty." He showed by reference to history that
Hungary had for 323 years been a free and inde-
pendent kingdom ; and from this fact sought his
exoneration from the charge of supporting rebellion
or revolution. The successive Emperors of Austria
had sworn allegiance to the Hungarian Constitution ;
but events had caused the flight of Ferdinand, whose
throne was now occupied by his nephew, who had
been led by his advisers to violate the oath usually
given, and to take from the Hungarians their consti-
tution ; to take from them their national indepen-
dence ; and to reduce Hungary to a mere province of
the Austrian empire. The war that ensued, and in
which the Hungarians took an active part, was, in
consequence, a war of self defence.—(Cheers.) This
was a point which he was most anxious to substantiate,
because it justified him, as a minister of the religion of
Christ, always prepared to advocate loyalty, and to
recommend obedience to a well-regulated Government,
whatever form that Government might assume, in
taking his place on that platform to lift up his voice
against the cruelties perpetrated by the Austrians upon
those poor vanquished Hungarians, who had dime
nothing but defend their liberties and their constii u-
tion.—(Loud cheers.) If it were a crime to defend
one's country and defend one's national liberties; if it
were a crime to defend those privileges which had
been handed down for generations ; if it were a crime
to defend the right of self-government, whilst the
country was willing to contribute its proportion to
the taxes of the entire empire, then were they all
guilty of that crime, for they had inherited from their
ancestors a love of liberty, and a determination to
stand up in the defence of the immunities of their laud'
and, if necessary, to shed their blood in its defence.
But he felt sure they would be justified by the
public at large. They were anxious to set an example
to their countrymen in the principality, that they
might hold similar meetings.—(Cheers.) It was only
becoming that sympathy should exist in the ancient
nation who first inhabited Britain for the brave
Hungarians, who were also distinguished for the
antiquity of their race.—(Hear, hear, and loud
cheers.) He remembered reading, only a few years
ago, that even Hungarians were obliged to go to wsr
in defence of their language; this was exactly
analagous to the position many times in history of
the Welsh. But at the present time we saw how, by
the combination of Austria and Russia, the Hun-
garians had bet n defeated; and liberty was about to
be extinguished from their land; nay, more than this,
those noble spirits who led them on to war, and fre-
quently to victory, were being sacrificed without in-
curring any guilt but that of standing by their
country.—(Cheers.) If Austria or Russia had any
noble feeling they would have disdained the mean
request that the poor refugees should be delivered to
be put to death. How different was their conduct to
the magnanimity shown by the Roman Emperor,
who, in consequence of the proud bearing and noble
sentiments of Caractacus, had released him from his
chains.—(Cheers.) He thought that Austria and
Russia should follow the example of Rome in this
particular, and let the poor Hungarians, who had
thought it right to shed their blood in defence of
their country, go free. The Rev. Gentleman nex
referred to the powerful terms in which previouet
speakers had in Welsh language pleaded
Hungary's cause. Their very eloquent speeches
in the Welsh language had rolled from
one beautiful sentiment to another with all
the beauty of oriental imagery, and he good-hu-
mouredly regretted that the reporters were Saxons;
and hence, however willing, unable to do justice to
the speakers who had gone before. He was sure,
however, that they would do justice to that crowded
assemblage and let Liverpool know that the Welsh,
the most loyal inhabitants of the kingdom, had
bravely stood up on behalf of liberty, and those who
were oppressed. The Rev. Gentleman resumed his
seat amidst the most rapturous applause.
The Rev. JOHN HUGHES next addressed the meet-
ing in Welsh, at very considerable length. He com-
mented upon the different topics set forth in the
resolution, and highly eulogised the conduct of Lord
Palmerston.
Mr. DAVID LEWIS, of the Branch Bank of Eng-
land, supported the resolution in a pertinent speech,
delivered in Welsh.

The resolution was carried unanimously.
The Rev. D. PRICE proposed the next resolution as
follows :—" That this meeting, whilst regretting that
a portion of the English press, but more especially
the Times and Morning Chronicle, prostituted them-
selves to the infamous service of defending the cruel
oppressors of Hungary, by misrepresenting the noble
Hungarian nation, at the same time tenders its
warmest thanks to the conductors of the Daily News
and other metropolitan journals, to the local press of
Liverpool generally, and particularly to our own
Welsh paper, the Amserau, for their consistent and
continued advocacy of the cause of Hungarian inde •
pendence.
The Rev. THOMAS PIERCE seconded the motion.
'He observed that it was an honour to Wales to have
been the first to call a meeting in favour of so
'glorious a cause, and he felt honoured in addressing
i them upon such an occasion. The speech was enthu-
siastically cheered.
Mr. liwzri Bums briefly supported the resolution.
Mr. Jour( JONES read an admirably drawn-up me-
morial to Lord Palmerston, embodying the spirit
,and amplifying the sentiments of the resolutions, as
follows
1 " TO THE RICHT HONOURABLE LORD PALMERSTON, HER
MAJESTY'S PRINCIPAL SECRETARY OF STATE FUR THE

FJREIGN DEPARTMENT.
" The humble memorial cf the Welsh inhabitants of
the borough of Liverpool in public meeting assembled:
shewetb,—That your memorialists desire to convey to
your Lordship, however imperfectly, the sentiments of
horror with which they have learned of the atrocities
committed by the Austrian Government on their subjects
the Hungarian people.
" That, at this eventful era in the world's history,
when the nations of Europe have been abruptly exposed
to the severe and awful trials of war and anarchy, the
cause of law and social order, as well as the cause of

rational liberty, demand, as your memorialists venture
to think, from all European Governments a combination
of firmness with moderation, a union of a high and dig-
nified sense of justice with a ready obedience to the dic-
tates of humanity and mercy.
" That the conduct of the Austrian Government in
abandoning for the blind impulses of a savage revenge
all the maxims of humane and enlightened policy, and
all the principles and duties of civilization, has been, in
the judgment of your memorialists, at once a stigma
and a calamity to the whole civilized world. A stigma,
because involving a violation of all the principles of
Christianity; a calamity, because while on the one hand
1 it is calculated to give a now impulse to revolution, it is
also calculated, on the other hand, to impart, by the
example o`: an established Government, new features of
cruelty and terror to war and social convulsion.
" That your memorialists deem it a duty which they
owe alike to the country in which they were born, to the
age iu which they lire, and to the religion which they
profess, to express, as far as human language can reach,
the indescribable feelings of sorrow and indignation
with which they have viewed atrocities perpetrated,
without distinction of age or sex, on the best, the wisest,
and the most illustrious of the Magyar people; atrocities
especially indicted on those in whom munificent fortune
was joined to a still more munificent generosity and pa-
triotism; on those in whom the practice of every virtue,
whether in public or private life, was united with high
hereditary rank, and with the still higher hereditary
claims which belonged to the saviours of the Austrian
empire; atrocities consummated by the appointment to
the Government of that unhappy but illustrious country,
which has been the scene and the victim of his guilt, of
a commander whose crimes will form the foulest blot on
the history of the age in Which we live, and an indelible
reproach to humanity.
" That while, on the present occasion, acknowledging
with gratitude and admiration the noble, untiring, and
disinterested exertions, prompted alike by the elevated
views of a great statesman and the generous impulses of
a heart that can feel for the afflictions of his fellow-men,
by which your Lordship has sustained the character of
an umpire hitherto regarded throughout the world as
the asylum of the unfortunate and the protector of the
oppressed, your memorialists beg humbly, yet most
fervently, to express their hope that thoso exertions,
l•otnly rendered more intense by the eccumulated misfor-
sof the Hungarian nation, may be unabatedly con-
tinued, encouraged, and sustained by the ardent sym-
pathy of the British people, and of all nations in which
civilization is honoured and Christianity revered."
The Rev. M. Lewis' of Bangor, proposed the
adoption of the memorial,and
that it should be pre-
sented to Lord Palmerston by Lord Dudley Coutts
Stuart, M.P.
The Rev. T. J. WILLIAMS, of Carmarthenshire,
seconded the motion.
Mr. JOHN AMBROSE LLOYD supported the motion,
which was carried unanimously.
Thanks having been given to the Chairman, the
meeting F eparated at 11 little after ten o'clock.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

CLERKENWELL.

George Clarke, a boy of respectable appearance
and connexions, about 14 years of age, residing with
his parents, in Kirby-street, Hatton-garden, appeared
before Mr. Combe, pursuant to his bail, for final exa-
mination, charged with having stabbed and wounded
Charles Butti, aged about 14 years, son of Mr. C.
Butti, picture-frame manufacturer, of Hatton-garden,
with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm.
The injured boy appeared in court with his face
bound up with adhesive plaister and a handkerchief.
The particulars of the case have very briefly been
stated, and it may be recollected that he was unable
to attend the first examination to give evidence, in
consequence of the injuries he had received. He now
appeared, and said that on Monday night, the 12th
inst., ho was near his father's residence, where he was
playing with some other boys, who asked the prisoner
to join them in a game which he declined, on which
they threatened to give him (prisoner) the "laws of
his country," when he took a penknife from his pocket
and making a rush at him (witness) stabbed him in
the face.
Mr. COMBE inquired the meaning of giving him
the laws of his country ?
It would appear from the reply that when any boy
refused to join in any game he subjected himself to
the infliction of sundry kicks, &c., from his com-
panions.
Mr. COMBE—And pray did you kick him ? Wit-
ness—Yes; but another boy kicked him twice. I was
going to kick him.
The prisoner's father here said he was a boy of
weak intellect.
A certificate from a surgeon was produced, v►hich
stated the prosecutor to be out of danger.
A boy here said that Butti kicked the prisoner,
when the latter took the knife from his pocket and
stabbed him (Butti), who bled very much, and he was
taken to a doctor's.

Mr. Com BE—Did the prisoner open the knife after
he took it out of his pocket ? Witness answered in
the affirmative.

Mr. COM3I3E—Did he say anything at the time?
Witness—No.

Another boy was called, who gave confirmatory
evidence in reference to the threat to give the pri-
soner " the laws of his country" if he did not join
in the game, and the parties kicking prisoner, but he
flatly contradicted the other portions of the evidence
for the prosecution. Master Clarke, he said, had the
knife in his band, cutting his nails, when the boys
commenced kicking him. When Butti was about to
kick him, be made a blow at him with his right
hand, and the knife was used without any intention
to do injury, and the wound was accidentally in-
flicted. When Butti was taken to the doctor's,
Master Clarke went there to ascertain if any injury
had been done.

Mr. Butti, the injured boy's father, said he had
heard that the prisoner had used the knife similarly
before.

Mr. Clarke denied the truth of such statement.
Mr. COMM?, after attentively listening to the case,
was induced to believe it to have been accidental, and
discharged the prisoner, leaving Mr. Butti to indict at
the sessions if he thought proper.

on the preceding Monday. The middle and lower
priced pieces have been most inquired after. We
have little change to report in the wool market, ex-
cept it be that the manufacturers are offering rather i
lower prices fur wool.
MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—There is no new fea-
ture to notice in the trade of this town, either as re-
gards the throwing or manufacturing interest, the
latter remaining, with some few exceptions, in the
quiet state we last reported. We understand there is
a prospect of a fair business being done in figured
fabrics for the ensuing spring. Tlae raw silk market
continues firm.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—The market has not
been very brisk, although we have had several buyers,
but we do not hear much complaining, ari'diwith the
exception of those engaged in the manufacture of
fancy vestings, there appears to be considerable acti-
vity throughout the district.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—There has been scarcely
so much business done in the Picee Hall to day, but
there is a fair amount doing in the warehouses, and as
stocks are generally very low, most of it is done to
order, by which the manufacturers are enabled, in
some instances, to obtain rather better rates.
Lastings and low mixtures are much Inquired
for, but not readily met with, the in-
adequate prices which have ruled for a one
time past: having greatly diminished tkt production.

to quit, at recent prices ; and brokes, which arc more
sought after, are looking upwards.
L BEDS, TUESDAY.—There has been more business
done at,:the cloth hails, both to day and Saturday ;
and some considerable orders have been given by the
shipping houses. Prices remain firm, and stocks
continue low. There is a fair business doing in the
warehouses ; and taking into consideration the time
of the year, considerably above an average trade is

THE ARCTIC REGIONS.
(From the Times.)
The return of Sir James Ross from his voyaga in
search of Sir John Franklin recals our attention
from the ordinary topics of discussion to those distant
and desolate regions of eternal ice, from which man
and his interests seem for ever banished. 'That where
there is danger man should be found to brave it, is
cot a matter of surprise. There will always be forth-
coming adventurous spirits in abundance who are
ready to grapple with peril for peril's sake—men whose
hearts rust within them in the midst of the tame
interests of civilized life, and who, although capable
of the most heroic efforts and the most astonishing
perseverance, when placed in conflict with the powers
of nature, sicken and give up the game when condemned
to the position of cogs or wheels in a complicated
machine over the general operations of which they
can exercise no effective control. To men of such
stern, unyielding stuff the human race has been
greatly indebted. They seldom profit by their
own labours. They pass their lives in the
midst of danger and of toils. They die with the
satisfaction, perhaps, of having pointed out to their
countrymen, and to the world, the existence of some
continent, or some system of islands, unknown before
their times, but which centuries after their death
will
esbtenadcso.verd Benynwni thriving
Beyond the
thennnanitnonwn consciousness
and
easnfcheerfulhaving
homsati4fied the inward cravings of their natnre—their
own peculiar re ward is limited to the privilege of
bestowing their name upon a mass of ice-capped
granite far within the Arctic circle, or on a desolate
island removed beyond the summer wanderings of
the distant Esquirnaux. It may be supposed that we
are not inclined to apply any very stringent canons
of critici-m to the noble labours of these simple-
hearted men. If the Anglo-Saxon race is at this
moment more widely scattered than any other
European stock over four of the continents which
overtop the level of the ocean, it is to men of this
class that we must be grateful for the distinction.
If we raise our voice at length against
any further expeditions in a particular direc-
tion, we do so mainly from the sorrow with
which we hear of so utter a waste of the
most heroic struggles, and of lives too valuable to be
sacrificed prematurely, but which, if sacrificed at all,
should at least be staked with a view to some result
important to humanity. With the map of the Arctic
regions lying spread before us, we ask ourselves in
vain what single object worthy of the venture could
by any contingency be gained by any further voyage
of discovery in this direction ? As to the fact of a
North-Western passage from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, there is nothing further to be known which
is worth knowing upon the subject. It is now as
nearly as may be three centuries ago that the tide of
maritime enterprise has set in this direction, and, as
any one may convince himself by a glance at one of
Mr. Wyld's maps of the Arctic region, discovery has
been pushed far beyond the limits of practical utility.
There appeared in the Times a few days back the fol-
lowing brief abstract of the course of the various
Northern expeditions, which may not be without in-
terest to any of our readers who would take the
trouble, in connexion with it, to give five minutes to
the chart :
" The first attempt was made in 1553 by Willoughby
and Chancellor, who were sent out with instructions to
ascertain if there was a north-east passage, or if they
could reach China by passing to the north of Europe
and Asia. Willoughby reached Nova Zembla, but he
and all his crew were frozen to death. Chancellor en-
tered the White Sea, and thus opened a communication
with Russia. Captain Cook reached Icy Cape from the
Pacific in 1778. In 1607 Captain Hudson was sent out
to attempt to discover the north-west passage, and
reached the latitude of 81 degrees, but was under the
necessity of putting back cn account of the ice. In
1773 this experiment was again tried by an
expedition under the command of Captain Phipps,
who advanced as far as Captain Hudson had
previously done: and a similar attempt was
made in 1818, which proved equally unfortunate
under Captain Buchan. In 1827 Captain Parry was sent
out to reach the Pole in boats and sledges over the ice,
and he attained about 82 degrees 40 minutes, and was
obliged to return by the motion of the fields of ice to the
south. In 1818 Captain Ross attempted a north-west
passage, and passed through Lancaster Sound. In 1819
Captain Parry reached 110 degrees west longitude, and
in 1821-23 examined the coast to the northward of
Hudson's Bay. In 1824 he reached Prince Regent's
Inlet. In 1826 Captain Franklin was sent overland to
explore the northern coast of America to the west of
Mackenzie River; and at the same time Captain Beechey
was dispatched to meet him in Behring's Straits. The
two expeditions approached each other to within a dis-
tance of 146 miles, but returned without meeting. In
1829-33 Captain Russ sailed up Prince Regent's Inlet,
and ascertained that there is no communication between
the Arctic Ocean and the Atlantic soath of Barrow's
Straits."

The exertions of the heroes of the Arctic regions,
Parry, Franklin, and the Rosses, appear to have
sufficientl37 developed the true nature of these high
latitudes. The absolute opposition offered by the
vast fields of Arctic ice to any continuous traffic, or
even to the fortuitous passage of a single ship without
almost superhuman exertions and endurance on the
part of her crew, forbids the supposition that the Arctic
regions can ever be turned to any practical account.
A few whales are no doubt pick€d up by the more
adventurous of the whale ships ; beyond these, what ?
The answer shall be given from the narrative of the
proceedings of Captain Penny in the Advice, who,
much to his honour, had penetrated in search of Sir
John Franklin as far as Navy Board Inlet in Lan-
caster Sound. He landed on one of the Wollaston
islands in this inlet, and here is what he discovered :
" We disturbed on our landing about half a-dozen
pairs of the eider duck (somateria mollissima). Their
eggs I found to be within a very few hours of maturity.
There were besides numerous nests, the occupants of
which had, I supposed, winged their way southwards.
Two brent geese (anser bernicla), and a single pair of
Arctic terns (sterna Arctica) were most vociferous and
courageous in defence of their downy offspring when-
ever I approached. These were the only birds, with the
exception of a solitary raven (corvus corax), &c."
Now, it is far from our intention to speak otherwise
than with admiration and respect of the noble exer-
tions made by Captain Penny and Mr. Goodsir to
discover and relieve Sir John Franklin and his party.
We quote from the narrative of their proceedings
simply to show in ordinary cases what the value
would be of any expedition to these high latitudes—
to witness the process of incubation on the part of
the somateria mollissima, and to listen to the
croaking of a solitary raven. Go still further, as
men have gone, beyond the regions where the eider-
duck and the Arctic tern pitch their nests, and what
do you find ? A vast solitude of icebergs and a
desolation, the monotony of which is broken alone
by the cracking and turning of the heavy ice. It is
clear enough, then, that for all purposes of commerce
or of traffic the Arctic region must remain a sealed
book to the human race until some vast change shall
occur in the temperature and meteorological arrange-
ments of the globe. Steam and railways are power-
less here. Magnetic telegraphs and the printing press
can do nothing. All the wonders of modern civilisa-
tion are palsied in the presence of eternal ice and
snow. It we want to go eastward to India, we have
now the short overland passage by the Isthmus of
Suez, which must in any case take precedence of the
North-Western passage, even if we could put a
vast fire under the ice of the Arctic regions,
and melt it down to-morrow into a sum-
mer sea. So . with regard to the voyage to
China; a few year S—perhaps a few months—and
the Isthmus of Panama will be cut through. What
have we to gain in this respect if we could establish a
line of steamers to perform the distance by way of
Lancaster Sound and Bahring's Straits ? Such a
course would simply be to go out of our way without
any adequate object. In a scientific point of view,
does any fact remain unexplored which would be of
sufficient importance to justify the risk of dispatching
further expeditions into these inhospitable regions ? '

Sir James Ross has already reached the Magnetic
Pole. Captain Parry, in July, 1827, reached in boats
and sledges 82 deg. 40 sec. north latitude. Dins,
human enterprise has penetrated within four or
five hundred miles of the North Pole, and we are
sufficiently aware that in that direction nothing
is to be met with but impracticable fields of ice.
If we speak against any further dispatch of Arctic
expeditions, our remarks are not intended to apply to
the noble efforts of Sir James Ross. His was a gal-
lant enterprise gallantly conducted. No nobler or
more adequate motive could be proposed to the brave
sailor and to the companions of his honourable toil
than the succour of the missing expedition. If the
mission failed, no fault can be imputed to the party under
the command of Sir James Ross. The powers of nature
overcame the efforts of man. The party was forced to
return after having performed important services,
which even yet may be productive of a good result.
At any rate thus much is clear, that they did not
meet with a single sign which would lead to the con-
clusion that Sir John Franklin and his companions
had met with any misfortune. Although this testi-
mony is only negative, yet it is so tar favourable and
worthy of attention. Our remarks have, however,
extended already to such a length that we must re-
serve all comments upon the recent services of Sir
James Ross for a future day.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
IPSWICH, Nov. 20.
We had a fair attendance at market to-day, but a dul-
ness ruled generally. 'flee supply of wheat was n t o
large as usual, and may be called fully is per quarter
cheaper. Barley was a large supply, and did not sell so
readily or so high in price as last a eek. Beans and peas
in small supply. There was some considerable quantity
of malt on sale, but no buyers found.

LIVERPOOL, Nov. 20.—Our supplies from Ireland and
coastwise during the:past week have been liberal of oat-
meal and flour, but small of wheat and oats. Frcm
foreign ports and Canada, with the exception of a fair
quantity of wheat and Indian corn, the arrivals are only
moderate. The exports in the same time show a slight
increase. The trade has been extremely lanui3, and
to have made any progress with sales of wheat end flour
lower prices must ;lave been submitted to. Oats not
coming forward so freely, and being in fair request, have
advanced id per 451 b. Indian core has sustained a fur-
ther decline of 6d per quarter, with a very limited sale.
At this day's market there was a moderate attendance of
town and country buyers, and a very limited demand
was experienced for Irish new wheat at a decline of fully
2d per 701 b. Foreign red wheat met with little atten-
tion, and must be quoted Id per bushel lower, but some
newly arrived Dantzie of good quality met with a ready
sale at prices ranging from 7s Id to 7s 4d per 7010.
Oats were held for id per 451 b advance, being scarce,
but little business resulted. Oatmeal was without
change, as were barley, beans, and peas. Flour was au
exceedingly slow sale, and 6d per sack and barrel lower
Indian corn moved off in retail, at a decline of 63 to Is
per 4801bs.
LEEDS, Nov. 20.—The dull account from Mark-lane
yesterday has paralysed the wheat trade here to-day,
and our supplies continuing extremely large, to make sales
a decline of is per qr. must be submitted to on the best
qualities, and inferior sorts are quite unsaleable, and very
little business is doing. Barley is also is per qr lower
Oats and beans without alteration.

A COSTLY DINNER.—Mr. S. S. Osgood, the painter
in the course of a letter to the New York Tribune, gives
the following account of a Fourth of July dinner at the
mines in California. He says—" It was given by Ram-
sey to his customers, and fifty sat down, or rather lay
down, for our dinner was spread on a level, which was
made by felling a tree, trimming it, and filling in above
it with earth and stones. We had a cloth along the
centre, and scraps of mats and blankets along the sides of
this, on which we reclined in Oriental style. Each man
bad a tin plate, and a tin pot for his liquor, water not
being allowed on the table; champagne and other
liqueurs were too plentiful to make it desirable to but
few. There was some lack of dishes to serve up in;
but with wash-basins, the pans of the gold-washers, and
a cast-iron bake-kettle, and with the assistance of two
large soup tureens, the numerous dishes were all dis•
played. We had, among other luxuries, fresh black-
berries and bon-bons, the latter were rather dry, and
had no doubt travelled far. Each man had a three-
pronged iron fork, and a regular case-knife. I was told
that the cost of the dinner, exclusive of wines and meats,
was 1,100 dolls."
WRECKERS ON THE EAST COAST.--TLIORPE,
ESSEX, TUESDAY.—Upwards of twenty-seven men, stone

of the master, and for unlawfully removing the cargo
from the wreck. Four of the men were fined 41. each,
or two mouth's imptisoment, and the remainder 40s.
each, or one month. One was discharged.

HEALTH of LONDON during the WEEK.
(From the Registrar-General's Return.)
The deaths from all causes, registered in the me-
tropolitan districts in the week ending last Saturday,
were 878. This number exhibits a decrease of 284
deaths on the weekly average of five previous autumns,
corrected for increase of population ; and the returns
of the last ten years show that the present low rate
of mortality is without example (within the period
of observation) at this advanced season of the year,
unless the year 1841 must be excepted, when the
deaths returned in the corresponding week were 827,
but out of a population undoubtedly less than at the
present time. The mortality in the early part of
November has usually ranged from 900 to upwards
of 1,200 deaths. The deaths registered last week
from the zymotic or epidemic class of diseases were
only 204, while the average is 307 ; those from
diseases of the respiratory organs (exclusive of
phthisis) were 134, while the average is 214. But
the mortality from phthisis (or consumption), and
bronchitis seems to increase, and is now about
the average ; and influenza was fatal to
four young persons and an adult. The deaths from
diarrhtea and dysentery in the week were 22, which is
about the same as in former years at this season.
Those' n the last four weeks have been successively
51, 40, 29, 22. From cholera eight deaths were
registered, or two more than the preceding week ;
but in two cases the persons died of disease conse-
quent on cholera, from which they had previously
suffered. One of the eight deaths occurred in Hol-
land Cottages, St. John's, Westminster; one in
Earl-street, Lisson- grove, Marylebone ; one in King's
College Hospital (the patient having been brought
from Drury-lane); one in St. John-street, Clerken-
Is ell; one in Green-walk, Bermondsey; one in Lam-
beth ; one in York place, South Lambeth ; and one in
Nightingale-vale, Woolwich. A boy of six years died
of diarrhcea, after 52 hours' illness, in Frederick-.
street, Bromley, an over-crowded Lnd dirty neigh-
bourhood, where cholera lately was rife.
The mean height of the barometer in the week
was 29 803. The mean daily height was above 30
inches on Sunday, Monday, and Saturday. The
mean temperature of the week was 45.2 degrees ; on
Saturday it was 39 3 degrees. It was above the
average of the same days of seven years on the first
four days, and below it during the rest of the -week.
