MORTALITT IN THE METROPOLIS.—The deaths
during the week ending Saturday, Nov. 16, are un-
usually numerous, amounting to 1,072, greatly above
the average. The excess is chiefly caused by deaths
from small-pox and scarlatina. The deaths from the
former are 51—average 17 ; and from the latter 84—
average 45. The Si deaths from small-pox occurred
at the following ages :—Thirteen under 1 year ; twelve,
1 to 3 ; thirteen, 3 to 5 ; five, 5 to 10 ; three, 10 to 20;
four, 20 to 30; and one 30 years. The list of violent
deaths is also very large, being increased by 25 cases,
which occurred in the districts of Greenwich and St.
Olave's, and which were registered only during last
week, though on many of these inquests had been held
at former periods. The bursting of a steam engine is
another cause of the increase. The following is an
analysis of the list of violent deaths :----Fracture or
Contusion, 21 cases, of which four were by horses and
carriages, 8 by falls, 1 by the fall of a hard body, and
the remainder by means not stated. Drowning, 9
cases, of which 1 was accidental, 1 a suicide; in the
remainder, juries have neglected to state, or could not
ascertain, whether death was accidental or otherwise.
Hanging, 1 case (suicide). Suffocation, 3 eases, of
which 1 was murder, 1 accident, and 1 probably from
accident,. Poison, 3 cases, of which 2 were from ac-
cident or mistake, and I a suicide. And Burns and
Scalds, 13 cases. Total, 40 males and 10 females (in-
.—Fall of rain in inches,
cll.sudBi.ng 1 case put to tetanus)

LA TER FROM AMERICA.
LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
The fast-sailing packet-ship Oxford, Captain Rath-
bone, arrived here to-night after a rapid passage of
nineteen days from New York, whence she sailed on
the Ist instant. We have received papers of that
date, but they are merely one day later than those
previously received, and contain nothing of import-
ance from the United States, where the Presidential
election continued to be the all-engrossing topic. We
have advises from Kingston to the 25th, and Montreal
to the 28th instant inclusive. They contain full par-
ticulars of the elections then going forward, and ulti-
mate success appeared almost certain for tho Govern-
ment party.
LATEST COMMERCIAL NEWS.
NEw Yonx, OCT. 31, 6, P.m.—The stock market was
rather flat to• day, the sales very limited, and the quota-
tions below those current yesterday. Stonington fell off
per cent. ; Norwich and Worcester, ; Mohawk, li ;
Pennsylvania s's, i ; Long Island, 4- ; Reading Rail-
road, i ; Canton, 4 ; Erie Railroad improved, ;
Illinois, ; Morris Canal, ; Kentucky, 4 ; Ohio 6's,
As regards the Foreign money transactions, we may
observe that the closing prices were very firm, with a
very moderate demand. A slight advance on the exist-
ing rates for sterling bills would start large shipments
of gold ; silver at present prices not making profitable
remittances. The exchange market seems to be in a
very strange state. The amount of foreign indebtedness
must be very heavy, and still we perceive the greatest
indifference about making remittances, and a determina-
tion not to submit to the present high rates for bills.
RATES OF EXCIIANOE.—On England, 104- ; on Paris,
sf. 20c. sf. 21i.
ASHES.—Pots are very inactive at 181. Pearls
are steady at $4 25 a 4 314.
COTTON.—The sales to-day amount to about 800 bales
of which spinners took 200 bales, and shippers the re-
sidue. Prices continue in favour of sellers.
The inquiry for Cotton has been moderate, bat the
market is quite firm.

The will of the late William Wall, Esq., of this
city, has been proved in the Prerogative Court of Can-
terbury, by the executors, the Rev. William Ellis Wall,
of Wheatfields, Powick, and Edward Jones Williams,
Esq., of Enfield, Middlesex. The personal property was
sworn to be under 80,0001. The landed estates of the
testator (subject to a jointure to his widow) are strictly
entailed on his son, Mr. Ellis Wall. The testator has
also, besides her jointure, left a pecuniary legacy to Mrs.
Wall, out of which, we understand, 200 L will be paid to
the Worcester Infirmary, and 150/. to the Dispensary,
as well as other sums to particular friends, in compliance
with a request of the late Mr. Wall.— Worcestershire
Chronicle.
YARMOUTH.—We are glad to find that an improve-
ment is evident in the shipping trade of this port. The
prices obtained for freights are steadily improved; many
of our colliers are now receiving 7s. per ton.
I:LUNGE/11'0RD SUSPENSION-BRIDGE.—Tile works at
the above bridge are proceeding with increased activity.
Within these last ten days several extra hands have
been employed in fixing the suspension-rods for the sup-
port of the platform, which will shortly be laid across.
The bridge will not be completed until after Lady-day
next.

of London has done all it possibly could to get it re-
newed, but i❑ vain. The now Brazilian tariff has been
in force for some days, and it will affect equally all kinds
of goods ; it is a measure most fatal to European com-
merce in general, and to that of England in particular ;
it is, above all, the result of the legislative enactments
adopted here, and on the other tide or the Channel, re-
specting sugar. Brazil can offer Europe, in exchange for
the manufactured goods which she sends out, only sugar,
coffee, raw skins, inlaid wood-work, and some quantities
of cocoa, threads, and tobacco. In France, foreign sugars
are surtaxed rather heavily in the interest of our colo-
nies and our beetroot sugar. In England sugar produced
by slave labour is altogether prohibited. This has been
done under the mask of philanthropy, but in reality it
only serves as the prelude to the accomplishment of cer-
, tain views of political economy of the Cabinet of Lon-
don, for, had it been adopted in the interest of the aboli-
tion of slavery, it would hare been applied to all tropical
produce indiscriminately, and particularly to cotton cul-
tivated in the United States by the blacks, and consumed
chiefly by the manufactures of Great Britain. It is easy
b conceive that Brazil should adopt reprisals, when it
beholds its sugar rejected by the two greatest mar-
kets of Europe ; and France, not more than England,
has been able to renew the treaties of commerce which
she had concluded with that power, and which have now
expired. The German association is in a different posi-
tion with respect to Brazil. The countries of that Union
have no sugar colonies, and beetroot has not yet arrived
at such a developement amongst them as to require pro-
tecting measures. Therefore, it is not unlikely that the
Customs' Union will succeed in concluding the treaty
which Franco and England have in vain aimed at. An
envoy from Brazil is at present in Europe, to come to an
understanding with the Cabinet of Berlin ; and, should
the negotiations succeed, the new Brazilian tariff will be
modified i❑ favour of the produce of the Zollverein. This
tariff is exceedingly elevated, and will be highly preju-
dicial to the commercial relations which Europe enter-
tains with Brazil. All fermented liquors are to pay an
ad valorem duty of 50 per cent., and thus the wines
and brandies of France are affected as well as the
malt liquors of England. Crystals and glass of all kinds,
plain and coloured paper, fruits, objects of domestic con-
sumption, &c., are to pay 25 per cent. ad valorem. Che-
mical products, salt fish, iron and castings, tanned hides,
salt meat, steel, and tin, aro to pay 20 per cent. ; linen
woollen, cotton, and silk manufactures, 30 per cent. ;
and, besides these duties, high as they are, the Bra-
zilian Government has reserved to itself the power of
imposing a differential duty on certain articles
coming from countries where the goods of Brazil also
pay differential duties. These canditions differ widely
from those of the old tariff, and particularly from
those stipulated in 1827. According to that treaty, all
goods and produce, natural or manufactured, of Great
Britain, or her colonies were freely imported into Brazil
on payment of duties never exceeding 15 per cent. on
the value. It is worthy of remark that several articles
of Brazilian production are subject in England to duties,
much more elevated, when they are delivered for internal
consumption. According to the treaty, these articles
had no other advantage than that of being bonded on
the same conditions as similar productions of the English
colonies. Here, it must be confessed, is a very consider-
able change in position, and this innovation will be so
much the more sensible in England, that her exports for
Brazil amounted to 50 millions of francs a year. The
French exports, which in 1843 showed a special com-
merce of 18 millions, will equally suffer from the new
tariff. M. de Langsdorf has not been more fortunate
than Mr. Ellis, the English agent, and in this struggle
the Cabinet of Berlin will probably have the advantage
over its competitors. What Brazil particularly wants
from England are manufactured goods of wool, cotton,
&c., wrought metals, prepared skins, and fermented
liquors; Germany is able to furnish all these articles,
wines excepted, and she has already made some success-
ful attempts to accommodate several of her manufactur-
ing products to the Brazilian taste."
