Concessions in price, but this morning even offt,l s of
this kind.have failed. One cause of this has'Ueen
the further giving way of the 'law material to-day
at LiVerpoo , and. the extensive tiilurGs on the' con-
tinent hive incre teed the difficulties in 'he way
of business. Spinneys have •bet a clecidt dlylnore-
anxious selle'rs than last week, and the meetings on
the Eicbarioe have been protracted to a later,hour
than usual, 'but no amount of concession seemed to
eat pt buyers to operate. Some business was ex-
-I..snted for Germany'r-n.yarns, hu. the stoppage of
1 • '"len, Son, and Co., of London,
appPars to eff4on the houses in that
trade here, and this branch of 'the market has.been
quite as flat as the others. In the cloth trade
sellers report this. to have been deCidedly the
flattest day they have had. The prices current
plee the quotation.; of-all kinds of calicoes lit a
lower figure than they have done heretofore: and
an opinion prevails that we are only now beuinning
to feel the difficulties occasioned by the state of the
money market to anything like their full extent.
Mess: s. 111`Nair, Greentiow, and Irving's circular
of the 24th inst., says :

k:T44.TE

" The improvement which was visible this day week
has not been maintakei tc-day ' • on the contrary, it has
been succeeded by a state of dullness and inactivity
which has scarcely been exceeded during the last few
weeks. Some little enquiry, however, prevailed ; but
the transactions in either goods or yarns were so insigni-
ficant, that no opportunity was afforded for testing
prices, which were again very irregular, and in most
instances nominal."

LEEDS, Nov. 24.
The markets in both cloth-halls have been again
of a quiet character, but the tone of the' markers
was rather better. Sales of a few heaVy goo.is and
cloths of general descriptions were effected, but the
purchmes were all in small lots. There is a patient
desire manifested, on all sides to wait for an im
proved ()Her offhings, and, instead of large num-
b of the factory operatives having beers thrown
out of employ by the complete stoppage of works,
the wind of adversity, it may be said, is tempered
by an extensive adoption of short-time working.
The cloth-dressers an I dyers are very slack, slme
of them having literally nothing to do. The flp.x-
spinners are running their" machinery only five dal a
a-week. Fortunately, the late news from America
has been of a comparatively favourable character,
fur if it had not the flax-mills here would hl..va
limited their work to four days a-week. As the
stocks of linen yarns and other products of fax in
the bands of the manufacturers are but small, nor,
indeed, has there been anything like over-produc-
tion, a slight improvement in trade would probably'
befollowed by the resumption of full-time working.
some of the machinists are falling off in employ-
ment through the withdrawal or suspension of
orders recently given both by home and foreign
houses, the tightness of the money-market and com-
mercial failures having rendered such steps neces-
sary. Happily, there ate no local failures to add
to the depressicn. _

HUDDERSFIELD, Nov. 24.

With a damp, dull morning there has baen but a
small attendance of buyers iri the cloth-market this
morning. Only a very limited business was done.
There was no change either in the price of either
goods or wools.

BIRTHS AND DBATHS IN LONDON.

(From the Registrar-General's Return )

The present return furnishes an unfavourable in-
dication of the state of the public health. The
weekly number of deaths registered in London was
in October about 1,000 ; in the first half of the
present month it was about 1,160 ; and in the last
week that ended on Saturday (Ncv. 21), the deaths
rose to 1,382. During the seven weeks to which
reference is here made the mean weekly temperature
has fallen from 55 degs. to 44 degs. ; latterly this
depression of temperature has been rapid, whilst
other observations on the atmosphere have shown
that it was humid in a high degree.
In the ten years 1847-5(3 the average number of
deaths in the weeks corresponding with last week
was 1,101; but population has increased, and for
the purpose of comparison it is necessary to raise
the average in proportion to the increase. With
this correction the average will become 1,211; and
it will appear that 171 persons died last week above
the number that would hive died under the ave-
rage rate of mortality.
Of the 1,382 deaths now returned, 390, or more
than a fourth part, were produced by bronchial and
pulmonary diseases. In addition to these, phthisis
(or consumption) was fatal in 159 cases ; and hoop-
ing-cough carried off 53 children ; croup, 17. The
progress of bronchitis and pneumonia in the last
four weeks is shown in the following numbers :
from the former disease the deaths were success-
sively 87, 116, 152, and (last week) 227 ; from the
latter they were 77, 115, 108, and 127. Last week
bronchitis exceeded the corrected average by 124;
pneumonia by only 23. In the present returns
the number of deaths recorded specially under in-
fluenza is only 9.
That persons of advanced age are the principal
sufferers will appear from comparing the results of
last week with those of the last week of October ;
fur while the deaths of young persons (under 20
years) have increased from 503 to 635, those of per-
sons who had attained the age of 60 years and up-
' wards have risen from 184 to 332, showing a mach
greater proportional increase. The deaths of no
fewer than 13 nonagenarians are now returned ;
all of these aged individuals were women except
two ; two of them had reached the age of 94 years,
and two the still riper age of 97.
A mate in the merchant service, aged 45 yeerP,
died on the 13th inst., on board the Dreadnought
Hospital ship, of cholera. This is the only case of that
disease reported in the week. Two children, aged
about one year, died of croup in different families,
but in the same house 42 Long Alley, in the Shore-
ditch district. One died on the 12th, and the other
on the 18th inst. ; the duration of illness was in one
case one day, in the other two days. Three children
died of measles at Plumstead ; of 11 deaths in the
sub-district of this name, 6 were from diseases of
the zymotic character.
Last week the births of 886 boys and 864 girls,
in all 1,750 children, were registered in London.
In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1847-
56 the average number was 1,468.
At the Royal Obser vat 31-37, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 30.125 in.
The mean daily barometrical reading rose above 30
in. on Nov. 7, and has continued above it during
the whole of the last two weeks. The highest read-
ing last week was 30.22 in., which occurred on
Sunday. The mean temperature of the week was
44.2 deg.,' which is 1.8 deg. above the average of
the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr.
Glaisher). On Wednesday the range of tempera-
ture was 15.4 deg. ; on the two following days it
was only about 6 deg. The mean dew-point tempe-
rature was 42.4 deg., and the difference between
this and the mean temperature of the air was 1.8
deg. The mean degree of humidity in the week
was 93 ; and on Friday the humidity was equal to
100, which represents complete saturation. The
mean daily temperature in the week of the water of
the Thames was 48.3 deg. The wind was generally
in the east or south east. There was no rain during
the week : but on Friday there were thick wetting
fogs, and great darkness frequently prevailed.
