EPOR HANDICAP.—YOITATT WM. GRAY requests that
his subscribers will not speculate on the Ebor Handicap
until they receive his next advice. A trial took place yes-
terday at —, and the horse he now recommends beat two
of the best trial horses out this season. He is so confident
of the result that, in the event of the horse he recommends
being beaten, he will return the money paid for advice.
Underhand was selected last year when at 33 to 1. The
acceptance is very small this year, consequently the prices
are less, but independent of this 100 to 6 can be obtained.
Terms for advice to the end of the season, 15s. ; to the St.
Leger, 7s. Gd. ; the York Meeting, 2s. Gd., and per tentage.
Address 15, Charing-cross, London. •

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE
WEEK.

(From the Registrar-General's Weekly Return.)
The total deaths in London in the week ending
last Saturday were 999 ; in the previous week the
number was 1,047. If the deaths from epidemic
cholera in the thirty-second week of 1854 are ex-
cluded from the returns of previous years, it is
found that the average number of deaths in the
weeks corresponding with last week of the years
1850-59 becomes, after correction for increase of
population, 1,227. Compared with this result the
deaths in last week were less by 228.
Ten deaths were returned from small-pox last
week ; 2 of these occurred in the village of Lewis-
ham sub-district,, and lin Plumstead. Diarrhoea
continues to increase ; the deaths from it in the
last four weeks were successively 32, 52, 65, and
90. The mortality from diarrhcea is, however, still
very low as compared with that of previous years,
for the corrected average of 10 corresponding weeks
is 202. Five deaths occurred from this complaint
last week in Islington West sub-district and 6 in
Poplar. There were 39 deaths from measles, 37
from scarlatina, and 5 from diphtheria. Seven in-
fants were suffocated in bed, 1 of these in a turn-
up bedstead.
Last week the births of 857 boys and 799 girls,
in all 1,656 children, were registered in London.
In the ten corresponding weeks of 1850-59 the
average number was 1,550.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 29.534 in.
The barometrical readings fell to 29.22 in. on Mon-
day, and rose to 29.77 in. on the following day.
The mean temperature of the air in the week was
56.3 deg., which is 5.6 deg. below the average of
the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr.
Glaisher). The mean daily temperature was consi-
derably below the average throughout the week.
The thermometer in the shade fell to its lowest
point, 45.5 deg., on Tuesday ; it rose to its highest
69.6 deg., on Saturday. The extreme range in the
week was therefore 24.1 deg. The mean daily
range was 17.5 deg. The difference between the
mean dew-point temperature and air temperature
was 6.3 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air
was 81, complete saturation being equal to 100.
On Tuesday the humidity was 71, and on the fol-
lowing day 99. The mean temperature of the
water of the Thames was 614 deg. The wind
blew more or less on every day from the south-
west. Rain fell to the amount of 1.01 in., nearly
half of which fell on Saturday. There was a thun-
der storm on Saturday morning, more violent in the
western parts of London than it was in Greenwich.
The magnets were disturbed almost constantly from
the 6th inst,

COUNTRY MARKETS.

BRISTOL—Aua. 14.

A fair business•passing in wheat to-day, with a better at-
tendance of buyers. Late rates were supported. All other
articles unchanged.

NEWCASTLE-UNDER LYNE—Auci. 13.
At this corn market there was but a small show of
wheat for the season, and recent prices were not exceeded,
but the demand was firm—white making 60s to 665, and
red 58s to 625. The samples of barley shown were few,
but prices held firmly. Oats in steady request, and fullY
sustained former values. Beans made higher terms.
