of males were 531, those of feniales FAG.
10 years of 1847-56 the average number of deaths
in the weeks corresponding with last week was
1,008 ; but to admit of comparison with the deaths
of last week, when the population had increased, the
average must be raised proportionally to the in-
crease, in which case it will. become 1,109. The
deaths now returned were, therefore, fewer by 62
than would have occurred if the average rate of
mortality had ruled.
In the present returns typhus (common fever
being included under this head in the table)
numbers more deaths than any other zymotic
disease, and scarlatina shows an almost equal
number. To the two diseases 56 and 53 deaths
respectively, are referred. More occurred from
scarlatina (17) in the north districts than any
other of the five metropOlitan divisions, and
only 8 from that complaint on the south
side of the river. Only 11 deaths from measles
are returned, and even of these only one occurred
in the numerous population on the south side. At
8, Melhourn-street, Somers-town a commercial tra-
veller and two daughters died of scarlatina within
84 hours. The medical attendant states that the
ftther " was struck down in 28 hours." In this and
other instances in which scarlatina or typhus was
fatal, had drainage, offensive gtillies, or lower
apartments flooded with sewage are complained of
generally by medical attendants. The deaths from
diarrhoea are now reduced to 31 ; of these 13 oc-
curred in the south districts, only one in the west.
Three deaths are retuned as caused by cholera and
" choleraic diarrhoea or fever." On the 29th Oct., a
seaman, aged 18 years, died of "cholera" after 12
hours' illness, on board a ship in the Commercial-
dock. Another case occurred at Osborne-cottages,
Lewisham, and the third in Regent's-road, Mile-
end.
Fourteen women died after childbirth ; eight
infants died from inanition or want of breastniilk.
Three persons died of diabetes, one of cholera, four
of delirium tremens, three of intemperance. Be-
sides three persons aged 91 years, a labourer is re-
turned who had attained the age of 100 years ;
he died on the 27th Oct., at 3. Durham-yard,
West-street.
Last week the births of 921 boys and 864 girls, in
all 1,785 children, were registered in Lyndon. In
the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1847-56
the average number was 1,467.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 29.774 in.
The highest barometrical reading occurred on Satur-
day, and was 30.02 inch,s. The mean temperature
of the week was 51.6 deg., which is 4.6 deg. above
the average of the same week in 43 years, as deter-
mined by Mr. Glaisher. The mean daily reading
was about 6 deg. above the average till Thursday,
and continued in a less degree above it till the end
of the week. The highest reading occurred on Mon-
day, and was 64 deg. ; the lowest was 37-8 deg., on
Saturday. The range of the week was therefore 26.2
deg. The mean dew point temperature was 49 deg.,
andthe difference between this and the air tempera-
ture was only 2.6 deg. The wind, which previ-
ously had been generally in the south-east, blew on
I the last three days mostly from the south-west. Rain
was measured only to the amount of 0.06 inch.

NARR,OW ESCAPE FROM THE MORMON
MURDERERS AT SALT LAKE.

11),TIlni::olloteing narrative is feom the pen of John
ai young Welshman who emigrated to
,al. hekti, with his family, about two years ago.
Southd Wcoaulensc.il IBtluffis
stackietny, from
aa,
privatefrom
leettteegr,
June 29 :
" I guess you are anxious to know the reason
why I loft Salt Lake. I shall try, the first
inplace,
to infer en you what a man must do to be a Mor-
mon. He must give himself, his family, and all
his possessions, over to Brighatn Young, and then
he'll have to, give the tenth of ail his income--the
tenth day's work—and he must keep from two to
ten WiNea. If he don't agree to these things he had
better. qt
.t ; but by doing so he is in danger of
losing. .1-eis life every minute, for they would rather
kill hr at than let him be the means of letting the
worle'l know how things are in their midst. Many
hair' .1 been shot down in trying to escape. I have
see a dozens shot down iu the street ; acid three
• eys before I left I saw three persons killed, merely
eecause they intended to escape ; they were shot
down in a place called Springfield, while preparing
to leave. This took place about 8 o'clock on a Sun-
day morning, within fifty yards of the gates of the
city. The first was a young man called William
Parish ; he received seven balls in his body. The
second was his father, and the third was a man
called Potter, whose body received as many as 15
balls. The old man was pierced in the back, and
his throat cut in three different places. I saw them
lying down, and I could name the persons who
killed them. Brigham Young has got men for this
purpose. Their number is 400. They are called
the ' destroying angels.' Their captain's name is
Wm.. Hickman, and the second in command is Por-
ter Rockwell. The walls around the city are. 15 ft.
high, and they are surrounded by a deep and wide
moat. The city is entered by four gates, which are
watched is the night time. The gates are so narrow
that only one vehicle can pass through at once. The,
destroying angels' go out on the plains in the
spring, to intercept those who may escape from the
city. Many left on foot last January. They sleep
by day and travel by night. I know of men and
women who have travelled this way—the men
dressed as women, and the women as men. I came
across some who were very short of food ; the little
they had they gave to the women, and the men
were principally sustained by the women's milk !
I left Salt Lake City on the 17th April, in company
with two. Welshmen and an African. The few Mor-
mons w Ito knew of our intention said that we should
never reach the States alive, but I told them that I
was determined to try whatever might occur. On
Sattreday (the day after we left) we had travelled
thieey miles from the city, when we saw three men
following us. They were sent by the authorities Of
Ow city to catch us. The name of one was Patrick
I such, an Irishman by birth, and secretary to
Brigham Young. This man fired his revolver at
m e, but the ball went by without hurting me. They
the In came near us on their horses and inquired our
na, ales, and when we refused to tell them they
sw, ere that they would blow 'our damned brains
ou t.' With that one of them raised his revolver, as
if he war going to use it—he had one on each Bide
of his saddle. I then took out my revolver and
told him to fire if he liked. I had six revolvers
with me, and a rifle containing in all thirty-seven
balls. Another ball was then fired at me which
whistled by my left cheek. I then fired at him,
and one ball hit him on the leg and another on the
shoulder. (My friends by this time had run in the
woods, and I was left to fightit out myself.) I then
lost my footing, and one of the men ran at me with
a knHe and cut my belt and took four of my re-

LIVERPOOL—Nov. 3.

The transactions at our corn exchange this morning were
at rather• lower rates for wheat, but importers resisted.
In some instances an advance of about 2d per bushel was
made on American red wheat from the low sales of last

wheat and flour. Indian corn was the weakest article, and
declined Gd to is on the week. In oats, barley, beans, and
peas no change was made in price.
