REPORTING IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS.—SOIIIB time
ago the Lord Chamberlain was good enough toappro-
priate a room to the use of the reporters in the. House of
Lords. The kiedness of his Lordship was duly appre-
ciated by those whom it was intended to benefit, for the
apartment was commodious and convenient. This room
was prepared for the reception of the reporters as usual
yesterday morning, but about midday the tables and
writing-desks were removed from it to another apart
went, which is too small to supply the requisite accom-
modation. The officers of the House themselves seem
not to be aware who was the author of this summa!-rand discourteous proceeding ; but, as it is in direetLod

MATZET NEWB.—(This Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

A very moderate supply of English wheat was on sale
in to-day's market. For most kinds there was a fair, but
by no means active, demand, at Monday's currency. Most
of the samples came to hand in rather better condition.
Only 480 quarters of foreign wheat have arrived this
week, but the show of samples was extensive. Importers
were very firth in their demands, and late rates were well
supported.

The barley trade was dull, at Monday's quotations.
The malt trada was heavy, at barely pravious cur-
rencies.

There was a full inquiry for oats, at full prices.
Beans, peas, and flour sold to a moderate extent, on
former terms.

MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT.—MANCHESTER, Tues.
day.—The American news has had a tendency to produce
a listless and inactive market. AP is usual in a quiet
market, prices are in favour of buyers; in some instances
rates which spinners would have rejected last Tuesday
are accepted to-day; even this concession has not induced
purchasers to operate largely. This applies to all counts
under 40's ; finer yarns are in good demand at full rates.
The cloth LuArketi a quiet.

The deaths registered in the week that ended on
Saturday were 1,209, which is nearly the same as the
number returned in the previous week. In the ten
years 1847-56 the average number of deaths in the weeks
corresponding with last week was 1,167 ; and if this is
raised for the purpose of comparison, proportionally to
increase of population, it will become 1,284. The rate
cf mortality that now rules is not high, as compared
with that of previous seasons, although it has lately
shown that tendency to increase which is to be expected
at a period of the year usually the mast fatal to human
life.

Thediseases of the respiratory organs
were
rather less than a fourth part
la dsteawth eeskc caused Ibbeying
of the total number returned. The average rate of mor-
tality from this class of diseases at this season would
have produced nearly the same number. The number
referred to bronchitis in the present return is 166, which
exceeds the average, and is double the number referred
to pneumonia. Seventy-three of the deaths caused by
bronchitis occurred to persons who were 60 years old or
more, whilst 70 of the 81 from pneumonia occurred to
children. Phthisis, which is not included in the above
class, was fatal t 0146 penons (being almost the same as the
corrected average ; and of these 107 died in that period
of life which extends from 20 ta 60 years. Hooping-cough
is at present decidedly the in At fatal disease included in
the zymotic class ; 57 children died of it, whilst 29 died
of scarlatina, and 23 persona at various ages of typhus ,
and common fever. Two children of a dock labourer
died of " febris" at 4, Crown-court, Whitechapel. Three
children died of measles in the workhouse, St. George in-
the-East. A mother, and her son aged 4 years, died of
dysentery at Hammersmith. The death of a seaman
who had been expelled from his ship when in a state of
illness was accelerated by exposure to cold ; and that of
a young woman by want of food.
Of 60 persons wao had attained the age of 80 years of
more, 7 were nonagenarians. The oldest was the widow
of a tailor, who died at 1, Boddy's-bridge, St. Saviour's,
at the very advanced age of 97 years,
Last week the births of 878- boys and 883 girls, in
all 1,762 children, were registered in Loudon. In the
ten corresponding weeks of the years 1847.56 the
average number was 1,572.
