The Washington cure'pondent of the New
York Herald, writing on the Bth, says :
"I learn that Mr. E•me3 has not yet arrived
here, but I am infotmed that the department are
apprised of the charaeter of the recent correspond-
ence between him and the Venezuelan Govern-
ment respecting. the Ayes Island claim. The notice
of Senor O'Keefe, the Venezuelan Consul at
'ttiladelpLia, and the rec-nt information sent you
from here in relation to Mr. Eame6's demanding
his passports and leaving Caraccas, do not give all
the facts precisely. Bot.la stated that he had not
demanded his passports 'on account of the conduct
of President Monagzs in legard to that claim, but
that his return to this country was in virtue of a
leave of absence oh ained some time since frciin
General Cass. This may be literally hue as far
as it goes ; but I learn it is al-o true that about
*the last of May he no.ified the Government of
Venezuela that he should leave for the United
States within a foitoieht, and he fixed upon the
6th of June as the time when he would receive the
definite answer of that Government in relation to
that claim before he left for Washington ; and that
if the answer were not received be should report
in person to his Government that other than
diplomatic means must be resorted to to effect jus-
tice. I understand that Mr. Sanford, former
Charg6 at Paris, and who has represented that
claim, has recently returned from Caraccas, and
was here yesterday urging the Government to de-
cisive measures sustaining Mr. Eames. I may
perhaps be able to send you the substance of this
important and interesting correspondence here-
after."

The same correspondence also says that Mr.
Bowlen, Minister to New Granada, was at Wilard's.
He was to call on the President and Secretary' of
State on the 9th to inform them c‘f the exact state
of aff,,drs in that country. Tire Administration do
not anticipate any difficulty in the speedy and
amicable settlement of the impending imbroglio.
The Washington correspondent of the Tlibunc,
writing on the Bth, says :--

. " Three membCl; of the Cabinet expre=s regret
that Governor Walker throws his official weight
into the scale of a submission of the prospective
constitution of Kansas to a vote of the people.
General Cais, on the other hard, regards such sub-
mission as unavoidable.
" Walker will be gently admonished, but not
repudiated.
" The Southern clemourers against Walker's
course will probably organize an independent op-
position, for which this Kansas matter is rather a
pretext than a reason."
A renewal of the riots had occurred on the even-
ing of the Bth, and two of the "rowdies" had been
shot by the police.
The New York Board of Aldermen have adopted
A proposition to send an agent to this country to
induce the proprietors of the steamship Great Eas-
tern to send that vessel to their port.
The funeral of Mr. Marcy at Albany on the Bth
inst. was one of the most imposing ever witnessed
in that city. Ex-Presidents Van Buren and
Pierce, ex-Governors Bouck, Fish, Hunt, and
Seward, and many other public men attended. The
display of military was very fine. The buildings
in the streets through which the funeral pr..cession
pissed were draped with mourning and signs of
sort ow were visible on every house.

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE
WEEK.

(From the Report of the Registrar-General.)

The deaths r.'gistered in London in the week that
eudej on Saturday (July 18 h) exhibit an increase
on those of nine previous week& The number is
1,061, of which 550 are deaths of males, 511 those
of females. In the tee years 1847-56 the average
number of deaths in the weeks corresponding with
last week was 1,028. But as the deaths of last
week cccurred in an increased population, the aver-
age, to admit of comparison, must be raised, pro-
portionally to the increase, in Which case it will be-
come 1,13. From these s'atements it may be in-
ferred that the present condition of the public
health is at least as good as is usual at this period
of year.
The deaths from diarrhoea, which in the three
previous weeks were 33, 65, and 133, rose last wide
to 150. The increase which this disease now shows
is therefore not so great as that which appeared in
the preceding return. The cases of last week oc-
curred in proportions considerably uniform in the
several divisions of the metropolis, though it will
be seen in comparing sub-districts-that in many ne
cases are returned, whilst in others numbers vary
from Ito 6. None occurred in the St..olave dis-
trict, and only one in that of Wandsworth. Of the
150 deaths from diare•cea 140 occurred to children,
all of whom, with the exception of 33, were infants
less than a year old. Besides these the deaths of
14 persons (all children except two) are referred to
cholera, this complaint being described in most ie-
stances in the returns as "choleraic diarrhoea,"
infantile infantile cholera," cCc. In all fatal cases of cholera
it is desirable that the duration of the previous
stage of diarrhoea, when it can be ascertaiae 1,
should he stated by the medical attendant on his
certificate. . _

Only one death from small-pox was registered
last week, but it is stated by the Regis-rar of
Somers town that in Little Clarendon-street, in his
sub-district, there are 21 ewes of illness from the
disease. Of 21 deaths from measles 10 occurred in
the East districts. Four pt ',ions died of carbuncle.
Two widows died at the advanced ages of 90 and 98
. _ _

List week the births of 860 boys and 826 girls, in
all 1,686 childree, were registered in London. In
the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1847-56
the average number was 1,379.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 29.998 in.
On four days the mean reading was above 30 in.
The highest reading was 30.19 in. on Monday. The
mean temperature of the week was 68 deg., which
is 6.3 deg. above the average of the same week in
43 years. The mean daly temperature was above
the average through-)ut the week, and on Wednes-
day it was 72.7 deg., which is 11 deg. above the
average. The highest temperature in the week (36.
curred on that day, and was 89.7 deg. The lowest
occurred on Friday, and was 50.9 deg.; the range
of the week was therefore 38.8 deg. The mean.dew
point temperature was 57.0 deg., and the difference
between this and the mean temperature of the air
was 11 deg. On Wednesday the highest tempera..
ture in the sun was 115.6 deg., the highest point
attained in the week. The mean temperature of
the water of the Thames was 67.3 deg. The wind
was for the most part in the S.W. There was rain
to the amount of 0.15 in. It fell at a late hour on
Thursday, and early on the following morning.
