most respected of the inhabitants of Chichester,
and he could not but regret that .Mr. Kenrick had
taken such a view of the subject. Mr. Parsons had
not been convicted of schism, and therefore could not
be so regarded, and was consequently entitled t have
the burial service read over to him. He could we'l un-
derstand that the consciences of clergymen might be
wounded when they bad to read the burial
service over persons who had died perhaps
in the commission of a crime—in such a
case the minister of the Church felt himself placed in a
most difficult situation. He said this not with a view to
justify the conduct of Mr. Kenrick, but in the
hope to induce their Lordships to consider his
conduct with as much forbearance as possi-
ble. With regard to the case of the unfor-
tunate woman who destroyed herself, he could not
but ask what power a clergyman had of instituting any
inquiry auto such circumstances that could be satis-
factory? It was the duty of the clergyman to be
guided by the decision of the proper legal tribunal; yet he
might be permitted to observe in excuse for this gentle-
man, that coroner's juries were often somewhat lax
in the execution of their duty, and were not in-
clined to sift too nicely in such cases the evidence
as to insanity, and to assume that the fact of com-
mitting suicide was itself sufficient proof of in-
sanity, but still he admitted§that the verdict of the
coroner's jury should have been conclusive with this
Reverend Gentleman, and merely urged these
considerations on their Lordships, in the hope
of inducing them to view the conduct of the Rev. Mr.
Kenrick with less disfavour. That conduct he did not
attempt to justify, as he admitted that the Rev. Gentle.
man was bound in duty to obey the law, and begged to
be understood as not attempting to defend or extenuate
the conduct of the Rev. Mr. Kenrick.

The Bishop of LONDON took that opportunity of
stating, in reference to this subject, that it was not his
intention to re-introduce the Church Discipline Bill du-
ring the present session, but next session he intended to
introduce a measure to facilitate the institution of pro-
ceeding for the correction of criminal and contumacious
clerk; and also for the institution of a tribunal of appeal
to decide ecclesiastical causes.

PROCEEDINGS IN BORNEO.
Mr. HUME said he saw from the Gazette that a day
had been fixed in this month for the distribution of the
pirate or head-money among the parties engaged in the
late proceedings at Borneo; and be wished to ask the
First Lord of the Admiralty whether it was consistent
with justice and the proper application of public money
to distribute this money before the inquiry which he
hoped the House would grant had been made?
Sir F. BARING said the money was due by law, and
after certain forms had been gone through the Admi-
ralty were bound to pay it.
AYLESBURY ELECTION.
Mr. HAMILTON appeared at the bar of the House
and brought up the report of the Committee on this
election, declaring that Mr. Calvert was not duly elected
to serve in the present Parliament (for which report
see anotherpart of our paper).
FRIENDLY SOCIETIES FUNDS.
Mr. BREMRIDGE begged to ask the Chancellor of
the Exchequer, whether the salaries provided for the
registrars of friendly societies in England, Scotland, and
Ireland. respectively,ainder the provisions of the Friendly
Societie's Act, passed last session, viz. 13 and 14 Vic., e.
115, have been and are henceforth to be paid
to them, out of the consolidated fund of the
United Kingdom, in addition to the fees pro-
vided for and made payable to the said registrars
under the said Act, or whether such fees are to be
brought into account, and paid into such consolidated
fund, or retained by the said registrars, in part, or in
full discharge of such salaries (as the case may be) in
the same manner as was provided under the former Act
(now repealed) of 9 and 10 Viet., c. 27?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
that he could not now make the returns to which the
Hon. Member had referred; but he thought that it was
a fair subject to be brought before the House.
Mr. EREMRIDGE then inquired whether there was
any objection to produce the returns as soon as they
could be obtained?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
certainly not; but the returns should be presented as
soon as they could be with official authority laid upon
the table.

THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.
Mr. ADDERLEY begged to ask the Under-Secretary
for the Colonies, whether any instructions have been sent
to the Governor of the Cape, on the subject of removing
the seat of government from Cape Town to Graham's
Tuwn ; and whether the vacancies in the Cape Legisla-
tive Council have yet been filled up, so as to permit the
formation of the new constitution, and other functions
of legislature. to proceed?
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that he had received no
certain information as to the position of the affairs at
the Cape, and that therefore he could give no definite
answer to the question, but that as soon as he did re-
ceive it he would not delay to furnish the requisite in-
formation to the Hon. Member.
_ _

DIPLOMATIC SALARIES.
In reply to Mr. URQUHART as to whether the Bala.
ries of diplomatic officers were to suffer any reduction,
Lord JOHN RUSSELL declined to give any definite
reply.

SCOTCH JUDGES.
Mr. BRIGHT said the Services Committee, in their
report, recommended a diminution in •the number of
judges both in Ireland and Scotland, and as one of the
Scotch judges had recently died, he should be glad to
know if it was the intention of the Government to carry
out the recommendation of the Committee with respect
to that vacancy ?
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said the recommendation of

the Committee was that Government should inquire
whether such a reduction could be made. They had
accordingly caused the inquiry to be made, and from re-
presentations they had received from Scotland, it was
their opinion that reduction ought not to take place.
Mr. BRIGHT remarked that these representations
Came from the legal profession in Scotland.

persevere in his motion, which he should bring on as
early as possible.
Mr. HUME—Before or after Easter?
Mr. BAILLIE could not get a day before Easter, but
the earliest day after he should take.
MISCELLANEOUS ESTIMATES.
Mr. HUME asked when the Miscellaneous estimates
would be laid on the table of the House ?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was
understood to say in two or three days.
CIVIL BILLS, &c. (IRELAND) BILL.
Mr. REYNOLDS asked the Attorney-General for
Ireland to what day he intended to postpone the Civil
Bills, &c. (Ireland) Bill, which was one of the orders on
the paper to-night ?
Mr. HATCHELL said when the Bill was called on
he should be prepared to give an answer to the Hon.
Gentleman's questien.— (A laugh.)
Mr. REYNOLDS—Does the Hon. Gentleman intend
to propose the second reading to-night?
Mr. HATCHELL—That will depend on the state of
the business in the Houge.--(Laughter.)
INQUIRY INTO THE MANAGEMENT AND
TERRITORIES OF THE EAST INDIA COM-
PANY.
Mr. ANSTEY rose to move the following resolution :
" An address to her Majesty, representing that it is
now necessary that the true condition of the territories
under the government and management of the East
India Company, and the real feelings and wishes of our
fellow-subjects inhabiting those territoriee, as to such
government or management, should be fully ascertained;
and for that purpose, praying her Majesty to take mea-
sures for the appointment of a Commission of Inquiry,
with full powers to take evidence in India as to the
operation and results of the laws now in force, touching
the government and management of the said territories,
and to report such evidence, together with the opinions
of the Commissioners thereon, to her Majesty in Par-
liament."

The Hon. Member said it was most important that
some preliminary inquiry of this kind should be made,
I and that such an inquiry would be altogether
fruitless, unless conducted on the spot.—(Hear, hear.)
When the Bill was proposed for extending the powers
of the East India Company for a further period of
twenty years, and which was now about to expire, con-
siderable opposition was offered to it, but in consequence
of the lateness of the session and arrears of public busi-
ness, it was pushed forward with great haste
when it was impossible to consider it with
deliberation, and it was ultimately passed.
This had been the character of our legislation on every
occasion, and the most opposite excuses bad been as-
signed as a reason for such a course. What had been
prophesied by Sir J. Mackintosh had in fact come to
Spass, and on every occasion a hurried bargain had been
struck for the lease of these great territories for twenty
years longer. But did the Bill itself possess
such intrinsic merits that in 1853 they were
to be called upon to renew it without inquiry ?
He contended not. If there were no other rea-
son, the circumstances under which it became law
gave him the fullest right to demand a preliminary in-
quiry. But there were grievances existing in India
which were professed to be remedied by the last Bill—
and were they remedied?—he thought he could prove
not. Had the promises which had been given on the
question of the opium and salt monopolies been carried
out? Certainly not. That incubus had still been con-
tinued. Now the reduction of that monopoly had been
left to the Governor- General and his Legislative Coun-
cil. Yet that monopoly of opium and salt had never
been reduced. It still existed, and was likely to exist,
and the tax upon salt was subject to the imposition of
a duty of 25 per cent. This was the 17th year
in which such a duty had been imposed. The
whole matter had been left to the Board of
Control underithe Act of 1833. That Act, however,
has been violated in a variety of ways, and he trusted
that as the Charter was to be renewed in 1854, that the
House would not forget the working of the motion under
which this system had been carried out. They should
recollect that the motion which he had to make
affected 100,000,000 of their fellow subjects,
and therefore it was that he was anxious
that the House should give it a full consideration.
Not a single grievance that existed in 1833 had been
redressed, nay, many of them had been aggravated, and
the Select Committee whieh recently sat on the sub-
ject of the cultivation of cotton in India repre-
sented in their report that the state of the natives
was deplorable in the extreme. The company went
to India under the pretence of delivering the people from
their Mahommedan and Maratta conquerors, but accord-
ing to the unanimous testimony of all the witnesses
examined and the documents produced before every
Committee that had sat upon this subject, the
company in every case had improved even
upon the maximum exactions that existed under
either the Mahomedan or Maratta rule. They dis-
trained upon the property of the millions, and the con-
sequence was that nine-tenths of the natives were sold
np every year, unless they happened to obtain
some influence over the European collector
or his native superintendent. Formerly the
company exercised the power of imprisoning
the insolvent, but it was found that the exercise of that
power gave rise to a good deal of expense, as the com-
pany had to support their prisoner while he was in
gaol, and this power had therefore fallen into disuse.
With regard to the salt monopoly, it must bo apparent to
every one that in a rice-consuming country like India it
was an article of the first necessity, and the native
Government had so well understood that, that they
never attempted to place the slightest restriction upon
it. Far different had been the conduct of the English
Government, who had restricted the manufacture of it

, .
in every possible manner, prohibiting persons even from
using salt-water from the ocean under heavy penalties.

PRINTERS' PENSION SOCIETY.
The twenty•fourth anniversary of this society was
held on Wednesday, at the London Tavern, Mr. William
Ewart. M.P., in the chair. The musical arrangements
were under the direction of Mr. Hodson, jun. Grace
having been sung on the removal of the cloth, the usual
loyal toasts were drunk with every demonstration of
enthusiasm; after which the Chairman gave—" The
Stationers' Company; the steady Supporters of this
Society since its commencement."

The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the toast of the even-
ing—" Success to the Printers' Pension Society," said
they had now come to a toast which came home to the
hearts and feelings of all who took an interest in societies
such as this. He recollected that a year and a half ago
the celebrated Guizot said that nothing struck him so
much in this country as the number of institutions
which were supported by voluntary subscriptions ;
and he understood the prosperity of this institution was
based much on the contributions of the workmen them-
selves. So much the better he would say.—(Hear.)
Because unless those societies were self-supporting,
they lost the foundation on which they must depend
for permanent stability.—(Hear, hear.) He be-
lieved that these convivial meetings were not
quite so well attended as they formerly were ;
whether this arose from an alteration in men's habits
he could not say; but of this he was sure, that charity
would find the place of habit, and supply the place of
those who did not feel it compatible with their feelings
to attend them. He considered the printer as a man to
whom society was peculiarly indebted.—(Cheers.) He
knew that no body of men acted so much as the medium
to enlighten mankind. The Hon. Gentleman concluded
an eloquent speech by a warm appeal on behalf of the
charity.

-
Mr. PARSON proposed," The health of the Chairman,"
which was drank with great cordiality.
The CHAIRMAN returned thanks, and assured the so-
ciety that he was ready at all times to support the cause
of the institution.

Song by Mr. Young—" Sweet Mary of the Vale."
" The Bank of England, the liberal Contributors to
this Charity," was nest given.
The CHAIRMAN, in a very elaborate speech, gave,
"The Fountain of all Knowledge, the Bulwark of Free-
dom, and the Founder of Free States—the Press."
The CHAIRMAN nest gave, "The Master Printers,
and may they speedily become subscribers to the Printers'
Pension Society."

Mr. Tuorr'Psorr responded to the toast, and expressed
his unfeigned regret that ho should be the only mister
printer present who was a subscriber.

The subscriptions amounted to ❑early 2001.

FATHER GAYAZZI'S LECTURES.
The subject of Father Gavazzi's lecture, at Willis's
Rooms, on Wednesday, was " The Temporal Power of
the Pope." The room was densely crowded with a
fashionable audience.
The Reierend Speaker commenced his discourse
by denouncing as false and unfounded the asser-
tions made by Cardinal Wiseman, in the sermon
preached by him on the 12th of May, 1850, that
the successor of St. Peter had been restored to
the seat of his temporal jurisdiction out of respeet
to and for the sake of his spiritual power. He main-
tained, on the contrary, that every fact and every do-
cument connected with the restoration of the Pope
proved irrefragably that both France and Austria had
been actuated throughout the whole of that transac-
tion solely by political motives, and that they looked
upon the Pope merely. as a temporal prince. The
Romish bishops and priests who preached and printed
the contrary in London, in order that it might be
believed by the Catholics in England and Ire-
land, did so from the most selfish motives, and as they
must be well aware of the falsehood of the statements
they were making he could not but designate them as
impostors upon Christianity, and defrauders of those be-
neath their influence. It was for his temporal power
alone the Pope had been brought back to Rome, and as
he should show the possession of that power by the
Popes had been fatal to the church from the
first moment it was acquired down to the
day when pio ix. was forced back upon an

the fatal gift they became the dependants
all the
monarchs of the earth, a dependence throughwhich
the best interests of religion have too often been
sacrificed to the political designs of schismatic
princes. Lie then proved by references to the history of

various Popes, among other, &farcellinus, Clement, In-
nocent, Pontian, Piui VII., and Pius IX , that the true
independence of the Pope consists in his spiritual strength,
and not in his temporal power; and the lives of those
Popes showed that, even in captivity or exile, they may
be wholly independent of the exercise of their ministry.
Where the ministry is purely spiritual, it depends on no
lay authority, and stands in need of neither throne nor
sceptre to insure obedience and respect. The temporal
power of the Popes has never served any other purpose
than to gratify the ambition of some or to support the riot
and extravagance of others, and in all ages it has been
the fruitful source of disorders and abuses, by which the
Church had been outraged and scandalized in the conduct
of its members. The Church of Rome, at the present day,
is one huge sink of vice, luxury, simony, and perfidy, with
its cabal and intrigues, pervading every rank and class of
society, from the College of Cardinals down to the pettiest
priest who hung about the Vatican. What could be more
humiliating and degrading to the Church than the shame-
less corruption and trickery which marked the conclaves for
the election of Popes, which almost invariably resulted
in imposing on the Christian world Pontiffs who cast dis-
honour upon their Church by their crimes and debauch-
eries. What had been said by one of themselves? That
ever since temporal power had fallen upon the Roman
Pontiffs their lives had been marked by open disregard
of the doctrines and example of their Divine Master, and
that they had seemed rather to serve Lucifer than
Christ. After an eloquent description of the luxury
and magnificence of the ecclesiastics residing
in Rome, so contrary to the austerity and simplicity
which marked the lives of the apostles and fathers of
the Church, the reverend orator concluded by referring
to the recent inroad of a Roman hierarchy in England.
He characterised that proceeding of the Court of Rome
as an aggression on the liberties, civil and religious, of
the people of England, originating with Russia and
Austria, in order to force upon them the ignorance, su-
perstition, and slavery which everywhere followed the
establishment of Papal domination.

fifty of these boats can be packed in the space usually
occupied by five ordinary ones. They will be found of
great utility in emigrant ships, which for want of room
can only take two or three ordinary boats, whereas they
may with no additional inconvenience carry with them
a sufficient number to save the whole of the passengers
and crew. They will be found of great service in over-
land journeys, and for use on the coast, being stronger,
lighter, and less expensive than any now employed.

REPORT of the TITHE COMMISSION, 1850.
The following is a copy of the report of the Tithe
Commissioners to her Majesty's Secretary of State
for the Home Department, dated February 24,
1851 :

"Tithe Commission Office, Feb. 24, 1851.
" is our duty to report to you the progress of
the commutation of tithes in England and Wales to the
close of the year 1850.
" We have received notice that voluntary proceedings
have commenced in 9,634 tithe districts; of these notices
one was received during the year 1850.
" We have received 7,070 agreements, and confirmed
6,778; of these two have been received and two confirmed
during the year 1850.
" 6,966 notices for making awards have been issued, of
which 213 were issued during the year 1850.
" We have received 5,529 draughts of compulsory
awards, and confirmed 5,260; of these 173 have been re-
ceived and 218 have been confirmed during the year 1850.
" We have received 11,424 apportionments, and con-
firmed 11,246; and of these 320 have been received and
353 confirmed during the year 1850.
"In 12,038 tithe districts, as will be seen from the
above statement, the rent charges to be hereafter paid
have been finally established by confirmed agreements or
confirmed awards.
" We have in our possession agreements and draughts
of awards as yet unconfirmed, which will include 561
additional tithe districts, and make a total, when com-
pleted, of 12,599 districts in which the tithes will have
been commuted.
" 652 altered apportionments were made by the Tithe
Commissioners up to the 31st of December, 1850, of
which 522 were confirmed.
" At that date exchanges of glebe lands were effected
in 358 places, and 39 such exchanges were in progress.
"At the close of 1850 we had confirmed 12,344 dis-
tinct mergers of tithes.
" As the term for which this Commission has been re-
newed is now nearly approached, it becomes evident that
although the great work of commutation is substantially
achieved, there must remain for a time unfinished por-
tions of it, which must be completed before a quieting Act
finally extinguishing all tithe can properly he passed.
" It is also clear that powers connected with tithes and
rent-charges must exist somewhere at the expiration of
the present Tithe Commission. Of these powers some
must be permanent, some temporary.
" Of the work remaining finally to complete the com-
mutations and prepare a quieting Act, it may be found
expedient, to prevent delays, agitation, and expense, to
deal with a part summarily instead of by those regular
processes by which the bulk of the tithes have been com-
muted.
"It may be useful to say a few words on each of these
heads of future arrangements. The powers that must
permanently exist relate—
" 1. To the custody and use of documents and maps,
and a legal power of giving attested copies of them.
"2. To re-apportionments on the division of estates,
and to the separation of gross rent-charges into dis-
tinct portions when the interest in such rent charges
becomes divided among two or more persons.
"3. To the creation of extraordinary charges for hops
and market gardens.
"4. To the redemption of small rent-charges.
" 5. To the setting out and defining glebe where its
position and boundaries are unknown, and to exchanging
ecclesiastical lands and rent-charges.
" 6. To authorising mergers where lands and rent-
charges now held separately come into the same hands.
" The powers which will be necessary only for a time
relate to-
1. The sale of tithe barns and buildings.
"2. The taxation of valuer's bills, and the giving of
authority to collect them.
"3. A power of confirming such apportionments as
cannot be got In before the extinction of the present
Commission.
"4. To the completion of cases now litigating in the
superior courts.

" 5. To the applying the powers as to old and imper-
fect agreements for giving land for tithes, created by the
sth and 6th Victoria, c. 54, sec. 7, to the case of a few
enclosure awards, of which the arrangements have not
been legally completed, if Parliament shall be pleased to
extend those powers for that purpose.
" In some eases where the lands and tithes are re-
ported to us to belong to the same person, we find it
impossible to get in mergers; and if we are to map
lands and apportion rent-charges in such cases,
great agitation would be created, and a vast unnecessary
expense incurred. Perhaps it might be advisable to
merge the tithes by Act of Parliament in such cases,
reserving the rights of all parties interested in the
tithes at the time. In a very few cases, where different
parties have interests in the tithes and in the lands, some
litigation might follow; but in most even of these eases
after full notice, this litigation would proceed from the
neglect of the parties, and be a much less evil than the
compulsory commutation and apportionment of the whole
of such tithes.

"In another class of cases minute rent-charges must be
established, which it will be probably found impossible to
persuade the parties to redeem or apportion voluntarily,
and which will create disproportionate burdens if
they are apportioned compulsorily. For instance,
the township of Gi eat Claybrook, in the county of Lei-
cester, consists of 1,071 acres, and contains 98 houses;
the only tithes remaining to be commuted are the tithes
of pigs, worth 205., and the tithes of a mill, worth ss.
To establish a rent-charge of 255., and to proceed by
map and apportionment to finish the commutation, would
be a harsh and burdensome proceeding.
There are apparently 100 cases of like character in
the north of England, in which it would be impossible to
complete a formal commutation at an expense amounting
to less than 50 to 100 years' purchase of the annual
value of the rent-charge; and of this the expense to the
public would amount to a considerable proportion.
" It is true the landowners' might redeem these rent-
charges; but where they are numerous we find it impos-
sible to persuade them to do so.

"In such cases we think the rent-charges might, in
the first instance, be charged on the parish rates.
" It might be made the duty of the parish officers to
call a meeting, and attempt to get the parties to agree
to a voluntary apportionment, to be enrolled in the
parish books; and if such agreement could not be ob-
tained, the overseers might call magistrates to appor-
tion and make a like enrolment, and thus the enor-
mous expense of maps and all the regulla processes of
apportionment would be avoided; or it might be pre-
ferable that in cases of such trifling amount the rent-
charge should be compulsorily redeemed.
" The redemption might be fixed at 24 years' purchase
on the sum awarded, and the money might, in the first
instance, be made payable by the overseers and church.
wardens of the parish, who might be directed to make a
rate and levy the amount upon the parties, giving dis-
sentients a right of appeal to the magistrates of the
district.

" These are rather rough measures, though we believe
them to be justifiable.
" What we have next to recommend would, perhaps,
smooth the operation, or, at all events, greatly redhee
the number of cases.

"The final consummation of the commutation must
be an Act declaring tithes to have ceased to exist, and
forbidding courts of justice to entertain claims for
them.

" We do not think this should be hastily done.
"When the Tithe Commission expires, most of itt
powers should be maintained in some bands.
"Full notice should be given by Parliament that after
a reasonable period, perhaps three years, all claims to
tithe would be annihilated; and towards the end of that
period the mergers and small rent charges remaining
might, without tenable ground of complaint, be dealt
with in the summary manner we have pointed out.
" There are a few, perhaps not more than one or two,
cases of small acreable moduses, which we are of opinion
should be left as they are, with an option of future re-
demption.

GREENWICH IlosprrAL.—The extension of the
metropolitan police to this institution as a permanent ar-
rangement commenced yesterday. An inspector, three ser-
geants, and fourteen constables, having been specially ap-
pointed for that purpose, were paraded in front of the gover-
nor's house ( Admiral Sir Charles Adam) at half-past nine
A.St., and inspected by the Gallant Admiral, who expressed
himself highly pleased: with their appearance, and said that
he was very glad to see them doing duty in that institution.
The men received the hearty congratulations of the go-
vernor, lieutenant-governor, and the officers generally, as well
as of the pensioners of this noble establishment. The
chief duties they will be called upon to perform are at the
painted hail and chapel during the Exhibition at the Chrys-
tal Palace.

The Glasgow Daily Mail announces the demise of
Lord Mo cried', and states that the vacancy thus created on
the Scotch Bench will be tilled by Mr. Cowan.
We understand that on and after the 15th instant
the evening French mail for London will leave Paris at half-
past seven P.M., and arrive at Calais at two in the morning,
instead of, es hitherto, leaving at eight ar..(l reaching Calais
at three.

IIEAL7H of LONDON during the WEEK,
(From the Report of the Registrar-General.)
The deaths registered in the metropolitan districts in
he first three weeks of March ware successively 1,247,
1,401, and 1,412; and in the last week they were 1,418.
If the ten weeks of 1841.50 corresponding to last week
are taken for comparison, it appears that the lowest
number occurred in the corresponding week of 1842,
and was 832; and that the highest occurred in that of
1848, and was 1,294. The average of the ten weeks was
1,073, which, if corrected according to the same rate of
increase in the population, namely, 1.55 per cent annually,
becomes 1,171. Last weeks return, therefore, exhibits
an excess on the estimated amount of 247.
But it is satisfactory to observe that this apparent in-
crease is not due entirely to the complaints which have
recently swelled the weekly contributions of mortality.
A number of cases, on which coroners' inquests had
been held, have been allowed to accumulate for some
weeks, and now, at the end of the quarter, appear for
itnhsepfiecrtsitntgimtehein
tthh:ler,egtihsatetr-botAts. It will be seen, on
which_ the coroner's functietnhe ifcsaltaacslshibeoflufyrnsexercised—
namely, hanging and drowning,
wounds, and fractures,casualties on
previous week the number was only 25, and the average
Poison—comprises 129 cases, though in the
tails short by at least two-thirds of the number now re-
turned. Intemperance is recorded as ►he cause of death
i❑ four cases, besides three in w►,ich fatal injury was
received in a state of intoxication; 4 persons died of pri-
vation, 7 children from want of breast-milk, 3 persons
from cold (2 of these being eases of exp§ure in travel-

ling), 7 from poison, 26 from burns and scalds, 23'fft
hanging and cuff cation,' 14 from drowning, 42 fr°:
fractures, and 17 from wounds and other injury. asti:
six cases also fell under the coroner's observation,
which persons are reported as having been "found dead,
or haling died " from the visitation of God," the fad
cause not being described in more sufficient termst Pr°'
bably because it could not be ascertained.
The class of diseases affecting the respiratory organ!'
including laryngitis, bronchitis, pleurisy, pneurnoo
asthma, and others has accurately defined, numbed
this week 272, whilst the corrected average does not er
ceed 195. There is, however, a marked decline on the
previous week, when the deaths in this class were 35'
Bronchitis has fallen from 156 in the former week 1°
109 in the last; pneumonia, from 126 to 117. HooPior
cough has declined from 81 to 63; influenza, from 65
37. Phthisis (or consumption), which was fatal in the
previous week to 166, numbered last week' only On
which is rather less than the average amount. Smallpox continues to grow less fatal, and only 19
ewes were registered last week from this disease. W
the exception of hooping-cough, measles now appes
most prevalent amongst the complaints peculiar
children, though it has not risen to, any considerab
amount.

The births of 947 boys and 833 girls, in all 1,781
children, were registered in the week. The average ()
six corresponding weeks in the years ,845.50 was 1,518'

.LasGow, _Aueu 29.—COTTON.—The news frail
the United States this week induced a more active inquirff
and spinners operated pretty freely at an advance of fully id'
per lb. as compared with this day week. Middling Orleane
may be quoted 74d. per lb. The stock of cotton in this port
amounts to 26,300 bales; last year, at the same time, the
amount was 42,000 bales. The stock does not include the
cargo of a vessel just arrivad from Bombay. The cotton-yarn
and goods market is still dull, without much prospect of
provement. Prices are without change, with the exception
of the finer sorts, which commanded fully former rates. ,
