consul to act as he thought proper, and was told by
him that being on board of an Austrian ship he was
not under the protection of the Turkish authority or
his own, but that he must consider himself in
Austria, and in the power of the Austrian Govern-
ment. The consul subsequently made a severe
search, going as far as to take the doctor's purse,
and examine the contents. Of course he was
disappointed, having discovered nothing to im-
plicate the doctor, with the exception of
a pocket-hook, containing some family papers,
and a list of some hal-dozen Hungarian names writ-
ten on a fly-sheet. He seized the book, and carried
it off. When the doctor, after these proceedings, ex-
pressed his desire to go on shore, the Consul imperi
ously commanded the captain to forcibly detain him
until he had communicated with the Count PJrtales,
the Prussian Ambassador, in order to assure him-
self whether he was truly under the Prussian pro-
tection. After a forcible detention of eleven hours,
the secretary of the Prussian mission, accompanied
by Mr. Mib tnovich, came on board, and delivered the
doctor, without returning him his pocket-bock, or
in the least accounting for the scandalous proceed-
ings. I leave it to your intelligent readers to
make their comments upon these facts, and judge
them according to their true standard of value. I
should not have given the above details htd I not a
sincere conviction that an act which in France and
G r:nany, in its present convulsed state, would not
have excited notice, will be condemned in England, as
it has been in Turkey, as arbitrary and unlawful, as
well as outrageous and insulting to civilization in
general.
The complicity of the Austrian Government and
of the Austrian Internuncio, Count Stuma in the
plot for the assassination of Kossuth and his compa-
nions, is fully proved. A Croat, named Luca, who
was employed as a gardener in the service of a Turk-
ish gentleman, and who was one of the conspirators,
states that he was engaged for 500 piastres a month.
The company was co►nposed of 15 persons, and the
internuncio informed them that he had a firman from
his Emperor, authorising him to nominate the
fortunate individual who was to assassinate Kossuth,
Governor of Croatia. This promise was made in
the presence of the Consul-General and the Harvat-
bashi, who, in addition to the above engaging recom-
pense, promised a princely sum of money. The
number of Croats who volunteered their services is
upwards of thirty, but half the number were de-
clared eligible, and several of the rejected proceeded
at their own expense and venture. Several Croats
have followed the refugees to Brussa, with the san-
guine hope of suor...eeding in securing the mint of
money, and tqe banship of Croatia.

HEALTH of LONDON DURING the WEEK.
(From the Registrar- General's Report.)
In the week ending last Saturday, the deaths re-
gistered in the metropolitan districts were 967, show-
ing an increase of nearly 100 on those of the previous
week, and a disposition to rise after a continuous
fall during a period of years (1840.9) is 991, which,
if corrected for increase of population, become 1,081 ;
the number now returned is therefore less than
the average by 144 deaths. Taking again the ten
corresponding weeks, it appears that the deaths fluctu-
ated between 792 and 1,118, and that the mortality,
which showed a decided tendency to increase in later
years, rose in the last three above 1,000. To account
for the excess in the present return over that of the for-
mer week, the only epidemics observed to be more fatal,
are hooping-cough, croup and diarrhea, which num-
bered respectively 43, 9, and 17 against 35, 3,
and 9 of the previous return ; but these diseases,
except the last, do not seem to prevail more than usual
at this season. The 17 deaths from diarrhcea are
double the average of ten corresponding weeks, but in
the three weeks of 1347-49, during which years this
complaint has increased, they were 10, 19, and 20.
The increase is further accounted for by phthisis, the
mortality from which has risen to near the average,
and amounts to 143 deaths ; and also to some extent
by bronchitis from which there were 79, and by pneu-
monia from which there were 82, though neither of
these numbers is remarkable as compared with returns
for the same season in the last three years. The deaths
of three persons were registered last week from
cholera, of which the following are the particulars:—
In Gulden-square subdistrict, at 174, Regent-street,
a chemist died on the 10th of March, at the age of
56 years, of " cachexia (6 months), English cholera
(3 weeks)." In St. Mary (subdistrict of Marylebone),
at 2, Salisbury-place, a widow died on the 7th of
March, aged 77 years, of "cholera biliosa (2 days),
indigestion." And in west subdistrict of Islington,
at 24 Albion-grove West, a widow lady died on the
14th of March, at the age of 73 years, from " premoni-
tary diarrhcea (16 hours), cholera (46 hours)." With
reference to the last case, Mr. Watts, the registrar,
states that "the locality is good, well paved and drained,
and has a regular supply of New River water." At
3, Newman's-mews, in All Souls, a looking-glass
silverer died at the age of 49 years of " salivation—
effusion on the brain." "Copious salivation was pro-
duced by the constant use of mercury in the exercise
of his profession." Two men died from excessive
drinking, which produced in one case apoplexy, and
in another delirium tremens. Last week there were
registered the deaths of 85 persons in workhouses, of
69 in hospitals, of which 17 occurred in military and
naval institutions, and 7 in lunatic asylums.
The births during the week were 1,384.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
daily reading of the barometer was above 30 in. on
every day in the week ; on Tuesday it was so high as
30.438 ; and the mean for the week was 30 292. The
temperature decreased considerably towards the end of
the week, and the mean was 40.9 deg , rather less than
the average of the same week in seven years. It was
less than the average on the last three days, and on
Friday and Saturday was from 4 deg. to 6 deg. less
than the average of these days.
