SPAIN.

The Madrid Gazette of the sth contains nothing
of importance, and the other journals are chiefly
occupied in discussing the elections. Several gen-
tlemen of the press have been returned ; and among
them are M. Egana, ex-minister, proprietor of tke
Espana, for a district in the province of Vittoria ;
M. Alan), principal editor of the Fenix, in the
province of Albacete ; and M. Rascon, proprietor
of the Clamor .Publieo, and during many years
one of its principal writers; in Alicante., Colonel
Verdugo, who had • obtained some notoriety
from having been stabbed by an ex-police spy,
has been elected in the province of Albacete.
The squadron which the Government intends to
send to cruise off the coast of Riff is to consist of
the steam frigates Vasco Nunez de Balboa, Ulloa,
Castilla, Santa Isabel, Pizarro, Volcano, and Vigi-
lante, and the screw corvette Buena Ventura.
Prince Alfred left Ferrol on the 4th for Lisbon in
the Euryalus frigate, which was escorted by the
Spanish steam frigates Santa Teresa and Narvaez.
The Peninsular Correspondence says :
" A paragraph has gone the round of the papers,
to the effect that a document has lately been dis-
covered in the archives" at Seville, which will de-
cide the pending question between France and
Brazil with reference to the limits of Guyana, some
doubt concerning which had been occasioned by
the obscurity in the wording of a clause in the cele-
brated Treaty of Utrecht. The Brazilian empire,
as successor to the rights of Portugal, maintains
that the Vibente Pinzon, mentioned in the above-
mentioned treaty, is the river now called the
Oyapock, while France as firmly contends that it
must be the Carvassapouri. The document alluded
to is said to be •io conclusive in favour of the French
claims that a certified copy of it has been forwarded
to the Tuileries."

The Vienna journals announce that Baron de
Kellersperger, Vice-President of the Government
of Milan, has been nominated Governor of Lower
Austria, in the room of Baron Eminger, deceased.

A letter from Berlin states that Baron de Man-
teuffel, the ex-Minister, is about to retire to his
country seat, and to remain there some time. It

the title of Count and a seat in the Chamber of
Nobles, offered him by the Prince Regent.

Baron Wedel-Jarlsberg, the newly appointed
Swedish Minister at the Court of Russia, left
Stockholm on the Ist by steamer for Abo, in Fin-
land, on his way to St. Petersburg. He is accom-
panied by Capt. Oscar de Bjocrnstjerna, military
attache to the Legation. Russia, which had been
represented at the Swedish Court by General de
Bodisco, and afterwhrds by Admiral von Glasenapp,
has no longer a military plenipotentiary at Stock-
holm.

The Archbishop of Cologne has ordered prayers
to be offered up that the approaching elections
`s may be agreeable to God," and in a pastoral
letter has recommended good Catholics to take an
active part in the elections, by voting for men who
arc notoriously faithful to God and are devoted to
the country and the Prince Regent.

and Christians from the Levant have been for some

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE
WEEK.

(From the Registrar-General's Report.)
The present return shows a rather high morta-
lity. In the two previous weeks the deaths were
1,143 and 1,133; in the last week ending Satur7
day, November 6, they rose to 1,217. The mean
temperature of the air in the'first week of Novem-
ber was 6 dew. lower than in the latter half of
October, and this cause apparently the increase
of mortality is due. In the ten years 1848-57 the
average number of deaths in the weeks correspond-
ing with last week was 1,028 ; but as the deaths
now returned occurred in a population which has
increased, they can only be compared with the
average when the latter is raised proportionally to
the increase—a correction by which it becomes
1,130. The comparison shows that 87 persons died
last week who would have survived if the average
rate of mortality, as found at this season in former
years, had prevailed.
If e deaths of last week had been according to
the rate of mortality that prevails in autumn in the
healthiest country districts of England they would
have been 770,- and the actual excess above this
limit which the return exhibits, amounting to 447,
is therefore to be referred to causes that are only or
chiefly found in operation in London and other city
populations.
Scarlatina reached its highest point in October,
and was stationary during the greater part of that
month. It is satisfactory now to mark a decrease
in its mortality, the deaths having fallen from 156
to 138. Last week it was decidedly more fatal in
the northern than in any of the four divisions of
the metropolis. Fifteen deaths from scarlatina
occurred in Marylebene, of which more than half
were recorded in the sub district of Christchurth;
13 were returned in St. Pancras, Bin Islington, 8
in the subdistricts of Kennington and Brixton, 4 in
that of St. Paul's, Deptford. A shoemaker and two
of his sons died of diphtheria at 209, Bethnal-
green-road within a period of six days.
The increase of the deaths in the present return
over those of the previous week, which has been
shown above, arises prixcipally from bronchitis and
pneumonia, the former of which rose from 83 deaths
to 128, the latter from 77 to 99.

Last week the births Of 890 boys and 916 girls,
in all 1,806 children, were registered in London.
In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1848-
57, the average number was 1,535.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 30.212 in.
The barometrical readings were high, their daily
means having been above 30 in. throughout the
week. The highest reading was 30.45 in. on
Sunday (Oct. 31.) The mean temperature of the
air in the week was 43.3 deg., which is 2.7 degs.
below the average of the same week in 43 years.
On Monday, the coldestday, the mean temperature
was 8.5 degs. below the average. The thermometer
ranged from itslowest point 28.2 degs. on Monday,
to its highest point 53 degs. on Wednesday; the
mean daily range was 15 degs. The difference
between the mean dew point temperature and air
temperature was 4.1 degs.

MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT.-MANCHESTER,
TUESDAY.—The market is rather firmer to-day than on
Friday last, and for 20's to 30's water a little higher prices
are asked by spinners. The real amount of business is
small ; buyers think prices must be yet lower. Some kinds
of cloth are dearer ; but, on: the whole, fie chant* te
noted. -
