BEALTH OF LONDON DUKING THE
WEEK.

(From the Report of the Registrar-General.)
In the week that ended on Saturday the total number
of deaths registered was 1,027. In- the corresponding
weeks of 10 years (1846-1855) the average number was
030, which, for the sake of comparison, should be raised
accoriing to increase of population, and in this case will
become 1,023. The actual- number agrees closely with
the result obtainel by calculation, and it may be affirmed
that the health of London, if not better, is also not
worse than might be expected at this healthy season of
the year.

The epidemic class of diseases, the chief index of con-
dition in the warm months, does not exhibit any unusual
features. The deaths enumerated under this general
head were 240 last week, while the corrected average of
correapondicg weeks is 233. Whooping-cough carried
off 54 children, of whom 35 were less than two years
o!d. Typhus was less fatal than in four previous weeks,
and was returned in 48 cases ; measles in 41, scarlatina
in 33, and small-pox in 9. There is apparently less
diarrhoea than usual, the deaths from this disease being
14, while the average is 22. From phtbisis (or con-
sumption) 150 persons died, which is about the average
rate of mortality ; 63 from bronchitis, and 45 from
pneumonia. An ivory turner, aged 56, died of "chronic
bronchitis, arising from the irritation of ivory oust," after
an illness of three years. 16 women died after ch:ld-
birth ; 27 persons died from cancer ; 5 from furuncular
disease. The five oldest persons whose deaths are re-
turned in the week had passed their 90th year, and were
all women (being widows), except one. The oldest died
,of paralysis, at Bow, and was 96 years. The man was a
shoemaker, but had formerly been a seaman, and had
fought under Nelson ; he died at the age of 91.
Last week the births of 823 bhp; .and 749 girls,--in
all, 1,572 children—were registerak44.Lindon. In the
ten corresponding weeks of the yearin.B46.ss die ave-
rage number was 1,372.

-At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer was 29'829 inches ; on Sunday
(the Bth) the mean reaJin was 30.084 inches; the
high( st in the week was 30.09 inches on that day. The
mean temperature of the week was 59.1 deg., which is
0 9 deg. above the average of the same week in 38 years
(as determined by Mr. Glai•-her.) The mean tempera-
ture was above the average on every day till Saturday,
when it was depressed to the extent of 6.1 deg. below
the average. The thermometer in the shade rose to 74'3
deg. on Wednesday, the highest point in the week ; and
in the sun on the same day to 102'3 deg. The lowest in
the shade was 40.2 deg., also on Wednesday, and there-
fore the entire range of that day, and also of the week,
was 28.1 deg- The mean dew-point temperature was
52'0 deg, and the difference between that and the mean
temperature of the air was 7.1 deg. The mean tempera-
ture of the water of the Thames was/32 deg.,—higher by
3 deg. than the mean temperature of the air. Tee wind
blew from the south-we,t. There was no rain till the last
three days, when it fell to the amount of 6'53 in. A
very severe hailstorm occurred at four o'clock on the
afternoon of Saturday.

DEPARTURES FOR AUSTRALIA.—The departures from
the port of London for the Australian colonies during
the past week have comprised tour ve,sels—one for Port
Philip, one for Sydney, one for New ZNeand, and one
for Launceston —with an avreg tte capacity of 2,939
tons. The rates of freight exhibit a tendency to increased
firmness.

The fancy fair, which was held last week in the Crystal
Palace on behalf of the Adelaide Naval Fowl, has, in
the amount realised, exceeded the most sanguine expec-
tations of the friends of the institution. Notwithstand-
ing the rivalry of several similar attractions in the pre-
ceding week, it was very largely and fashionably
attended.
DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.—On Saturday evening a
most distressing accident took place in Hill-street, Wal-
worth, but which fortunately did not result in fatal con-
sequences, although a poor little girl, a4ed about eight
years, named Eliza Colo, the daug4ter of a builder, was
disfigured for life. It appears that the child was amus-
ing herself by swinging on an iron gate in front of a
neighbour's house, the palisades of which terminate at
the top in sharp-pointed spear heads, when her attention
being suddenly attracted to something passing in the
roadway, she missed her footing and fell, one of the
spikes entering her right cheek, close to the lower jaw,
and literally ripping it up, nearly to the eye, infiiottng a
most fearful wound. Medical aid was at once procured,
and the wound sewn up, the little sufferer remaining far
better than could have been anticipated from the nature
of the injuries.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—The difficulties and dangers of bringing

come by Du Barry's delicious Revalenta Arabica Food, which

SOUND DUE'.

HOUSE OF CO lONS.

The committee met yesterday in Room No. 17 ; Mr.
Villiers in the chair.

The witness called was Mr. Edgar Bowring, Registrar
of the Board of Trade, who said the first treaty between
Denmark and other countries respecting the Sound Dues
was iu 1544, and this introduced a distinction between
privileged and non-privileged vessels. England was one of
the latter class, ere! her goods were suljected to a duty
of 11 per cent., in addition to the payment of a rose
noble on each vessel. The next treaty was in 1645,
when an arrangement was entered into with Sweden and
Holland, and the whole system of dues reduced to one
rule. In 1670 a treaty, for the first time, was made
with England, applying the treaty of 1615 to her vessels.
In 1701 a fresh treaty was made with Holland, and at
that time the light dues were fixed. Up to the year
1815 the sums collected found their way into the private
coffers of the King of Denmark, and his right to levy
these dues was generally recognised throughout Europe.
In the years 1840-1841 negotiations were carried on be-
tween our country and Denmark, and the result was the
treaty of the 20th of August, 1841, which Russia, Prus-
sia, and Sweden afterwards accepted. The chief provi-
sions of this treaty were to maintain the tariff of the
treaty of 1645. It enumerated 40 articles on which a
duty of 1 per cent, was to be charged, and 70 other ar-
ticles on which the duties were to be reduced and in
the else of 200 other articles the duties were to remain
the same as were charged 200 years before ; but these
articles being cheaper now the dues were in reality much
higher. The treaty was for-10 years certain, and might
be determined by either parry giving 12 months' notice.
By the Chancellor of the Exchequer—He believed if
Elie' And were to give such notice she would be placing
hersef in a worse position.:
By the Chairman—There was no complaint as to the
manner in 'which Denmark bad carried out the treaty,
as she bad strictly adhered to the rates of duty specified.
Brit practically, in consequence of the difference in the
price of articles, the dues were much higher than 1 per
cent. From a document laid before the Prussian
Chambers it appeared the average amount of the dues
was 21 per cent., and this was generally on colonial pro-
duce. From an analysis of the cargo of a particular ship
it was shown that the dues would be 2.15 per cent. on
cotton, 2.45 on resin, 1.18 on coffee, 3.75 per cent.
rice, &c. In another ship ginger paid 8 per cent., and
so on. These amounts related to the dues on goods, and
were independent of tonnage dues, whim were charged
at 41 specie rix dollars per vessel.
Mr. Bo wring read the charges upon a vessel entering
the Sound, which, it appeared, amounted to 32 rix-hank
dollars and 28 stivers. The treaty, he sail, applied a fixed
sum to vessels above 40 tons ; below that scale there was
a graduated scale. The treaty of the United States of
America with Denmark was in 1826, and it would ex-
pire in the preseLt month. In 1848 the American Go-
vernment made an offer of 250,000 dol. for exemption
from the Sound dues, and this appeared from a despatch
from Mr. Buchanan to the A mericaa Minister at Copen-
hagen, dated Oct. 14, 1848. In November, 1853, Mr.
Marcy wrote a despatch, declining to make the offer, on
the ground that the dues were contrary to international
law and ought to be abolished. Since 1841 witness was
not aware of more than two representations having
been made to the Board of Trade respecting the Sound
dues. Those were from Hull and Liverpool, and
they complained of the unequal operation of the
duties and prayed for their abolition. He was not
aware of any memorial having been received by the
Board of Trade from the shipowners of London to the
effect that the goods sent by railway from Hamburg to
Lubeck were free from the Sound dues. Among the
complaints made to the dues was the way in which they
were collected, and the detention and danger to vessel-,
at Elsinore • and this would be spoken to by other wit-
nesses. The charges were paid in a gross sum by the
captain of the vessel as she left or entered the Sound.
In reply to a question by Mr. Bramley Moore, witness
read a list of the shipping passing the Sound from 1846
to 1854, showing the percentage of English vessels upon
the whole number. In 1846 English vessels were 23
per cent. of the whole ; in 1847 26 per cent. ; in 1848
40 per cent. ; in 1849 36 per cent. ; in 1850 28 per
cent. ; in 1851 24 per cent,. ; in 1852 22 per cent. ; in
1853 211- per cent. ; and 1854 12 per cent.
By the Chairman—On the 4th of December, 1854, the
President of the United States announced his intention
of renouncing the treaty of 1826 ; and, in consequence
of this notice, Denmark took steps to invite a congress
of nations at Copenhagen to consider the question of the
Sound dues. No definite result was, however, arrived
at, and Denmark said she could not make any arrange-
ment with one party without the consent of all. If
America refused to pay the dues to Denmark the effect
would be to give her a great advantage over other coon-
tries, as she would be able to monepolise the carrying
trade. Several schemes had been disposed for disposing
of the question ; but the simplest of all was certainly
that of the United States—viz., a refusal to pay any-
thing at all.
After some further discussion on the same point the
committee adjourned until Friday next at one o'clock.
