POSTPONEMENT or TILE for DIITY.—We have much
pleasure in finding
that
the
appeal made by the hop
Planters to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, on Satur-
day anoight, has not been entirely without effect, a
notice having been issued on Wednesday last, to the
officers in the various " Collections." as under—" In-
land Revenue Office, 13th May, 1857. Sir,—The Board
desire that the payment of the first moiety of the hop
duty for 1856, be deferred until the 15th July next. I
am, Sir, your obedient servont, THOS. DODSON. The
Collector, &c." The concession thus made is unfortu-
nately somewhat limited in its practical utility by two
causes ; that, owing to the brief period of postponement;
and, secondly, because of the lateness of the announce-
ment, coming as it doers at a date when by far the great-
est portion of the planters had submitted to saerifices in
order to provide for the collection. This, however, is
no fault of Sir George Cornewall Lewis, who, it must be
admitted, has responded with great promptitude to the
appeal made to him, and with an evident desire to spare
' the planters from further immediate pressure. By many
of the smaller planters the postponement, even for two
months, will be hailed as a boon, however the delay for
so short a time may be comparatively of little import-
ance to others possessed of larger resources,—Suoscx

At the Marlborough-street Police-court, this day,
Robert East, lanflard of the Rising Sun, public-house,
No. 12, Charles-street, Grosvenor-square, was charged
with keeping a common betting-house at the above
house, and Richard Higgs, 18, Panton-street ; John
Knight, 37, Conduit-street; John Thomas Parkhouse,

street, Grosvenor-square ; William Lambert, 26, Ches.
ter-street, Pimlico, servant ; Samuel Knightebridg'e,
46, Grosvenor-square, servant ; George Boxendale,
1, Buckingham-row, Pimlico ; Poilip Deady, 7,
Cumberland-street, licensed victualler ; William
King, 9, Charles-street, Grosvenor-square ; Ed-
ward Goddard and Henry Waycs, Mulgrave-house,'
Fulham, servants ; Thomas Gray, 23, Woodstock-street;
John Goddard, Eaton-mows, groom ; Wm. Humphrey
and Francis More, 18, Chester-street, Pimlico, servants ;
and Samuel Redimore, gentleman, Queen's-head Tav, rn,
Knightsbridge, were charged with being found therein
far the purpose of betting.

Superintendent Hannant, C division, having produced
the Commissioners' warrant, authorising him to enter
the above house, stated that about a quarter-past 9 last
night he went there, accompanied by Inspector Webbe,
and some constables. He went into the parlour, where
he found East sitting at a table with a list before him
ralatirg to several races. This list he uow pro-
duced. Under that list he found a second list,
which he also produced, with the names of the
horses and persons, with the various odds written
upon them. He told the defendant who he was and

the nature of his business there, but he made no reply,
The other defendant, Richard Riggs, was sitting by his
side entering something in a book. The other de
fendants were in the parlour. On searching the place
a great quantity of cards referring to various races to
come off were found, as well as books containing entries
of numerous bets made thereon. The whole of the de-
fendants were removed to the station-house. On East
was found about 601. in gold and silver.
Inspector Webb corroborated the above statement.

Police Constable Draper 326 A, proved visiting, the
Rising Sun, kept by the defendant East, on the 13th
instant, and seeing several people is front of the bar,
East came down stairs, and a man asked him what was
the odds on Arsenal, East said he would give 6 to 1, and
lihey both walked into the parlour. Witness further
proved that on the occasion of a second visit, he saw
bets made with the defendant East.

This completed the case against the defendant.
Mr. Herring having addressed the court on behalf of
he defendant,

Mr. Beadon discharged the whole of the defendants
with the exception of East, who was fined 301. or two
months. The fine was paid.

11EALTH OF LONDON DURING THE
WEEK.

(Front the Report of the Registrar-General. )

The total number of deaths registered in London in
the week that ended on Saturday was 1,050, of which
514 were deaths of males, 536 those of females. In the

10 years 1847-56 the average number of deaths in the
weeks corresponding with last week was 1,046 ; but, as
the deaths of last week occurred in an increased popula-
tion, it is necessary for comparison that the average
should be raised in proportion to the increase, in which
case it will become 1,151. It appears that the number
of persons who died last week was less by 100 than
would have died if the average rate of mortality had
ruled, a result which must be accepted as proof of a
favourable condition of the public health.
The deaths referred to diseases of the respiratory
organs in the present returns are 202 ; the corrected
average for corresponding weeks is 184. Bronchitis
was fatal in 102 cases, being about half of the whole
number under the general head of pulmonary diseases
to which it belongs. This complaint exhibits a greater
fatality than is usual in the second week in May, in
consequence of the unseasonable coldness that pre-
vailed in previous weeks ; for according to the ordinary
mortality the number. last week should not have ex.
ceeded 76. The deaths from pneumonia (inflam-
mation of the lungs) are 75, and exactly agree with the
average. Hooping-cough, which carried off 51 children,
is now rather less fatal than it was in the earlier months
of the year ; scarlatina de lined to 14, and no death from
this complaint was returned from the districts on the
south sloe of the river. Two cases of smallpox were re-
gistered ; 39 of typlius and common fever, the average
being 55. Of the iiirincipal diseases of the zymotic
character, no fatal cases were returned in Wandsworth,
Rotherhithe, or Camberwell, except one in the last-men-
tioned district ; in Whitechapel, and two in
Lewisham. Two deaths are referred to carbuncle. Three
persons died of intemperance.

In the present returns are the deaths of six nonagena•
rians—a man 90 years of age, a widow 92 years, a man
93 years, a man and a woman 94 years, and a woman
who died is the Merchant Tailors' Almshouses at Le• at
the age of 97 years.

La./4 week the births of 873 boys and 800 girls, in all
1,682 children, were registered in London. In the 10
corresponding weeks of the year 1847-56 the average
*umber was 1,523._

At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer for the week was 29.808 in.
The h ghest reading was 30'01 in. on Saturday. The
mean temperature of the week was 57.6 deg., which is
5 9 deg. higher than the average of the came week in 43
years. It was alse higher than the mean of the previous
week by 13 deg. The mean daily temperature was
above the average on every day after Sunday, and on
Friday and Saturday the excess was 10 and 12 degrees.
The lowest temperature was 39.1 deg., and occurred on
Sunday, the 10th ; the highest was 80'2 deg., and oc-
curred on Saturday. The range of the week was there-
fore 41'1 deg. The mean dew-point temperature was
49 9 deg., and the difference between this and the mean
temperature of the air was 7.7 deg. On Monday the
wind changed in the afternoon to south ; during the rest
of the week it was first in the south-west, then in the
east, and on Saturday changed to west. The fall of rain
was only o'oB in. There was a good deal of lightning
on several nights. Saturday was a very warm day.

MARKET NEWB.—(This Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The show of English wheat here, to-day, was chiefly
composed of Monday's unsold samples. For most kinds,
we had a slow inquiry ; nevertheless, prices were well sup-
ported. The general condition of the supply was by no
means prime.
Foreign wheat—the show of which was moderately
good--moved off slowly, on former terms. In floating
cargoes of grain, very little was doing.
We had a fair demand for all kinds of barley, and Mon•
day's currency was well supported.
The malt trade was very dull, at barely stationary
prices.
Oats, beans, and peas were in moderate supply, and
steady request, at extreme rates ; but flour was very dull,
at last week's quotations.

Our market is steady, and prices are well supported.

The Vereins Bank of Hamburg have notified an in.

of capital that can be called up to 30 per cent.
At a meeting of the Imperial Brazilian Mining AP.
sociation, held yesterday, an adjournment was agreed
to for the receipt of advice from the secretary, who
has been sent to Brazil to look after the property.
Under those circumstances the resolutions passed at a
former meeting were not confirmed, and it was Mi./
mated that negotiations of an encouraging natureara
pending.
