BOARD OF TRADE.

A return was last week issued by the Board of Trade
the declared value of British and Irish produce and
manufactures exported from the United Kingdom in the
yeur 1849, specifying the amount to each country and
colony. From this we have compiled the following list,
which will show the order in which the various com-
munities of the world rank as our customers. It will be
observed that our own possessions and the United States
take ninny one-halt of the entire total, but Germany
occupies the third place, and such as to warrant there-
fore, even in a merely commercial vint of view, the
greatest anxiety for the preservation of peace within
her territories. Tie States of Central and South
America, from Mexico to Brazil and Buenos Ayres.
woul,i, however, if they were all included under one
head, make a total larger than that of Germany, the
amount ( f our shipments to them being between
7,000,0001. and 8,000,0001, which is also mote than
double what is taken of us by Russia and France
together:-

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK.
(Published by authority of the Registrar-General.)
Tt!e increase of mortality, noticed in the previous
week, is still apparent to nearly the same extent in the
week ending last Saturday. The deaths registered
in the metropolitan districts, which, in the two pre-
ceding weeks, were respectively 845 and 945, num-
bered last week 921. In the corresponding weeks of
the ten years 1840-9 the average was 963, which, if
raised in the ratio of supposed increase of population,
becomes 1,051, and shows a difference in favour of
last week to the amount of 130. The mortality from
pneumonia (or inflammation of the lungs) and asthma
nearly equals the average, while that from bronchitis
exceeds it; and though the deaths from all diseases
are diminished, as Compared with last week's return,
tbose from that class of complaints of which the above
are the most important have increased; for, in the
preceding week, the deaths from diseases of the res-
piratery organs. were 138—last week they were 171.
But, it will be seen that phthisis (or consumption),
which has this year been less fatal than usual, is not
included in this observation; for, while in the pre-
vious week it was fatal in 112 cases, last week there
were only 93—a considerably less number than in any
of the 10 corresponding weeks in 1840-9, when they
ranged between 107 and 138. The present time
seems to be unfavourable to the health of the aged,
but more
smallpox,propitious
besides to
o thea
young. Eleven children
died
man who had nearly at-
tlined the age of 60; 22 of measles, 23 of hooping-
cough, 33 of scarlatina, and 7 of croup. Fever is
now the epidemic which is most productive of fatal
results ; last week 55 persons, of whom about a half
were of middle age, were its victims. In connexion
wiTh various deaths from fever, the registrars draw
attention to local nuisances ; but the following case,
which occurred in Wild-passage, St. Giles's, is espe-
cially worthy of notice :—The child of a labourer
died-the eon the' 314 this month from typhus, mak-
ing the third death which, according to the state-
ment of the mother, has taken place amongst her
children, in the same house, within six months. In
:be dwelling (Aided the informant) there is a constant ,
and intolerable smell from the drains. The death of
4, boy, egtd 22 months, is registered as caused by
" typhus, loss ( f blood from the throat by leeches.
Fatal ewes of diarrhcea and dysentery do not exceed
20; and the following is the only instance in wild%
cholera is mentioned :—At 6, Pitt street, St. George's-
shoontsker, aged 10 months, died of
:inta.edv,erthe(2sodnayof a
days),
infantile cholera (12 hours)." The I
deaths of three persons are aserib :fdadwiroemetalyn
ionr 1
rectly to intemperance; and that
Jen-
ning's-buildings, Kensington, to want and exposure.

The births of 831 bop and 726 gills were regis-
tered in the week.

DOCKS FOIL CORK.

At length there is nut only a probability, but we. are
happy to say, u certainty, ot Cuik not tieir:g left without
docks. We are given to understand that it is the inten-
tion of the Great SAirhern and Western Railway Com-
pany to apply during the err., session for a 811 to con-
struct docks at their terminus, which, as our city readers
are aware, will be erected almost on the ha. k of the river,
at the north side. We coefess, we thought that the
soutn side offered greater facilities for the construction
of ducks than the north side, inasmuch as the neigh-
bourhood of the park to the Menereu Marsh promised an
almost unlimited extent of accommodation. when such
extent of accommodation beceme necessary from the in-
c. eased trade tf the port, and the more frequent um of
docks by o•knets and masters ot all cla'sca of yeast b.
But as the intention t f constructing decks on the ,outh
aide has been abandoned—and we will not say credit-
ably abandoned—we rejoice that the Great Southern
and Wtstern Company are shout maktrg so noble r.
terminus to their maeniticent and eminently succerstu!
line of railway. With a telegraphic cuirreurdeatior
between the terminus a: Dublin and the then deep eater
at ;he docks in Cork, we hive little fear of the tutuee
destiny of this city and purr. 1 do woks of the
Greet Southern have our he.attiest sympathies with thew
in an undertaking which refieets qual credit, on their
poblie spirit, and their proter sense of what is Itkery to
be useful to their interes-s as a tradieg body, who art-
bound to turn their specula ion to the nest possible ac-
count.

As a matter of course, there will be a sufficient watch-
fultn as on the part ot the shipping and generail trading
community at Cork, and we anticipate on tie part of the
authorities also, to preclu4 the possibiiity of anything;like a monopoly. If docks are to be censtructsd, no
matter by whom, they must be supposed to be intended
fur the public benefit—that is for the increased axcm-
modation ot tee v! lads froqueniing the port; ax d it will
therefore be the duty of all who have the interest of the
port at heart, to see that nothing shah be done, under
whatever plea or pretence, which would create an irre-
aponsible power, which by any possibility could be
turned to dangerous purposes. But in making this re-
mark, we by 110 means suppose that those who new lie
tend to confer on Colic the undoubted beue fit of dock
accommodation, will nullify their boon by monopolising
to themselves undue or dangerous advantages. Indeed
we feel assured that they are inclined to act fairly, and
fur the public good; but there is yet no harm in public
as well as off eltil watchfulness in ad matters that colleen,
the public welfare.
We are as much in favour of docks at this moment as
we were when, with the approval of the cominuntty, we
advocated their necessity several mouths back. It is all
pure humbug to fay tnat Cock can do without them,
because Queenstown end Passage offer E ver-accessible
natural docks to the shipping of the port. We are
proud of those adveratages, and are as fully conscious at,
any inhabitant of Queenstown or Passage can be, r f the
unrivalled capabilities of the harbour id Queenstown and
Are reach of Passage; but the former is bit ven miles, and
the latter is seven miles, distant from this important trad-
ing city; and it is of the first consequence that vessels of
a large draught !should lie at our quays, or within a few
ninutes' distance of the stores of our merchants and
traders. At present one of the heaviest charges which
the imparters of certain articles have to pay, is fur their
transit from the ship at deep water in Passage to the
quays of Cork. The cost of seven miles of lighterage
is immense, which cost would be altogether obviated
by the facility which ample dock accommodation would
offer for unlading or lading vessels almost in the heart
or rho city.

Then the injury to which vessels are subject by taking
the ground is notorious. Considerations ot this nature
have prevented many owners of vessels from sending
hem into this port at all. No matter what may be the
build of a vessel, she is more or itis injured by ground-
ing; but some vessels are peculiarly suscep,ible of
injury, and are immensely deteriorated in value in con-
sequence of taking the ground. To sharp-built Yes-
eels, which are constructed atore ,r speed than for
carrying a great bulk, gr,,unding is destructive, as man)
an owner of such a class of vessels knows to his cwt.
To this danger every vessel that comes no to the quays
of Cork is more or leas liable. Ground she must, what-
ever be her shape, her construction, or her tonnage; for
the tide ebbs and flows at our quays just as it does at the
quays of Limerick; and when the water hills, which it
does every tide, the vessels in the river must lie with
their keels on the ground; for there is at suvh times no
sufficient depth ot water to keep them afloat. This
being the fscr, that Cork is situated ru respect to hi>
river accommodation, or want of river accommodation.
for all elssses of vessels, just in the same niiinner as
Limerick, or any other putt similarly circumstanced,
the want of ducks is a great drawback, and the bestowal
of them is a positive boon for which the public of this
city ought to feel deeply gratefal.
We sincerely trust that no petty jealousy shall be al-
lowed to stand in the way ot this noble effort of the
great railway company 01 Ireland, and that we shall soon
have the satisfaction of seeing some hundreds cf the la-
bourers of Cork employed in digging the foundations,
of docks, which will !Act only rt fleet credit on the enter-
prise of their spirited Tromoters, and rec. mpense them
by the consequent increase in their traffic. hut tend
immensely to the wel'are end pro.perity of this city and
port. CGrk .L xaminer.

FATAL OCCURRENCE.—KENMARE, Nov. 6,;--On
the 29th ult., a fray recurred between the masons of Ken-
mare and others of the trade from the County Limerick here
some time past, on the poor-house works, the result of
which was, that a young man named Thomas Holland was
st.bbed with a knife by Denis M-Mahon, a County Limerick
trytson, from the effects of which he died in the Police-bar-
rack immediately after. An inquest WWI held before John
C. O'Riordan, Esq., coroner for the county, at Kenmaie, on
the 31st ult., and a verdict found against ISl'Mation, and
against Florence Sullivan fur aiding m the assault —Cork
Examiner.

TDB LEEDS POST-OFFICE RODE ERIES.—The young
man, John Warren, was again arraigned yesterday (Wed-
nesday) before the borough magistrates, andf several
additional charges of purloining letters from the post-office
Were proved, and he was further remanded for the proof of
additional charges. The cases yesterday were very deer
saegaeirnaslt him, especially with reference to the purloining of
v dividend warrants belonging to Mr. John
Jewett, jun., woolstapler, and his sisters.

CAMBORNE ..-EARLY LAMBING.—On the 'Ph inst.,
an ewe, the property of Alr. William Jackson, of Treswithian.
