MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—The returns
for the week ending Saturday, Oct. 19, shows a
decrease of 123 as compared with the preceding
week. The number of deaths in the first class is still
large, being 226, while the average for the autumn
months is only 191. This has been caused chiefly
by small• pox, scarlatina, and typhus, which, with the
average, are respectively as follows :—Small- pox,
35-17 ; scarlatina, 81-45 ; typhus, 38-29. The
number of deaths from pneumonia is small, the
average being 107, while last week it was 74. Asthma
shows a still greater decrease. The following is an
analysis of the list of violent deaths :—Fracture, two
cases, of which one was by a fall. Wound, three
cases, result of accident, of which two were suicides.
Burns, one case. Poison, two cases, of which one was
suicide. Drowning, two cases (whether the result of
accident or otherwise, unknown). Hanging, one
case (suicide). Suffocation, two cases. Total, nine
males and four females (including one case of tetanus).
The quantity of rain fallen is great, as might have
been anticipated, the amount in inches -being 1.78
the greatest quantity fallen in any week, probably,
during the whole year.

It is scarcely necessary to remind the public that
the holyday given on the occasion of the Queen's visit to
the City next Monday has nothing whatever to do with
the payment of bills of exchange If these are due on
Monday, they must be paid the same as on any other
day ; and if a bill becomes due and is dishonoured on
Saturday, notice of dishonour must be given by the holder
on the Monday as a matter of course. The only excep-
tions to the general rule are Good Friday, Christmas-
day, and days appointed by her Majesty's proclamation
for solemn fast or thanksgiving.
ALLEGED MURDER.—Last evening, Mr. lliggs
held an inquest at the Rising Sun, Charles-street, Gros-
venor-9nare, on the body of Harriet Parker, aged fifty-
three, wife of John Parker, in the employ of Mr. Thomas
Cubitt, and now in custody on remand from Marlbo-
rough-street Police-court, on a charge of having caused
her death by wilful neglect and ill-treatment. It appeared
in evidence that deceased lodged with her husband, who,
besides being a labourer, was an out-pensioner of Chelsea
Hospital, at No. 9, Ranelagh-street, Thames-bank, and
that on the 20th ult., he came home drunk, pushed her
about, tore her clothes off her back, and kicked her on
the legs. He assaulted her next day in a similar man-
ner, but no one saw him strike her with his fists, though
in the evening he threw a board at her, which, striking
her on the right cheek, the bone was split in two by the
concussion The cheek, though much bruised and
puffed, was not cut open by the blow, because it was
given by the flat part of the board. After this, she took
to her bed, and her husband would get nothing for her,
telling her to g.a what she wanted herself, that lin-
Muss was notin:, more than laziness, though at the
time she was unable to sit up. Subsequently, she was
attended by Mr. Davis, of Belgrave-place, but his attend-
ance was rendered nugatory by the annoyance she
received at her husband's hands, who eventually stripped
the bed on which she lay of all its covering.
Mr. Davis got an order for her admission to the
workhouse in Mount-street, Grosvenor-square, whither
she was removed on the 12th instant, at her earnest re-
quest, because she said her husband had received his
pension that day, would get drunk in consequence, and
kill her before morning. Deceased had been formerly a
nurse in St. George's Hospital ; her husband was sixty-
three years of erre, and they had been married only a
year. Mr. H. a; e,
surgeon, of 38, King-street,
Berkeley-square, saw the deceased the evening (12th
inst..) she was brought to the workhouse, when she com-
plained of having been severely beaten by her husband.
She had marks of violence on her body, and complained
of a pain in the stomach, where, she said, she had been
kicked by her husband. She was seized with almost
continual nausea, and finally with convulsions, to which
she had been subject from her birth, and those diseases
increasing, she gradually sank, and died on Sunday
morning last. He had since opened the body, and her
death was immediately caused by an effusion of serum
into the cavities of the brain, and into all the serous
ones of the whole system. The ill-treatment did not
produce this general effusion, but it might have hastened
it. The inquiry having lasted three hours and a half,
was adjourned for the evidence of Mrs. Davis, who had
attended deceased immediately after the ill-treatment.
runup HEALTg.—Mr, Moore, a member of the
Town Council of Leicester, has given notice pf a motion
for the next meeting,- for the appointment of a Comr
mittee "to inquire into and report to the Council as to
the best means of establishing a cemetery in the suburbs
of Leicester."

THIS DAY'S NEWS.

DUTCH AND FLANDERS MAILS.
(RECEIVED THIS DAY.)
OPENING OF THE ORDINARY SESSION
OF THE STATES-GENERAL FOR_IB44-45.
THE HAGUE, OCT. 21.—This ceremony took place
to-day, according to the programme which has been
published. At one o'clock his Majesty the King left
the palace, accompanied by their Royal Highnesses
the Princes, and a brilliant staff. Wherever his
Majesty passed he was received with acclamations
by the immense crowd which thronged the streets
through which the procession passed. On ar-
riving At the palace of the States-General the
King was introduced to the House by the Com-
mittee appointed for that purpose. His Majesty,
standing before the throne, delivered the following

speech :
" Noble and Mighty Lordi,—l am happy to be
able to give you, on resuming your labours, the
assurance that the general situation of the country
presents, in many respects, a favourable appearance.
" Our political relations are satisfactory.
" The navy and the army continues to meet my
approbation.
" A part of our naval force is successfully engaged
in the suppression of piracy in the Indian Archi-

pelag,o.
" The army, though considerably reduced in num-
ber, is animated with the best spirit, and endeavours
to distinguish itself by its good discipline.
" The building and completion of new men- of-
war proceeds regularly.
" Necessity commands us to employ all the means
in our power to repair and improve the works for the
defence of the country.
" The communal guard will receive a new orga-
nisation which, without being too burdensome to the
nation, will render its service more effectual in
time of danger.
"Notwithstanding some partial failures of the
crops, our East Indian possessions enjoy tranquillity
and prosperity.
"I regret that our West Indian colonies continue
in a languishing state; however, means have been
proposed to me to recover them, the applicability
of which must be judged of on the spot.
" Some branches of manufacture are improving,
while others feel the influence of unfavourable cir-
cumstances. The Government endeavours, as far as
in its power, to give them the best directions possible.
" Primary instruction is the constant object of my
solicitude. The arts and sciences are cultivated with
zeal and success, and it is a pleasing duty to me to
second, as far as the means are at my disposal at
present, the efforts of those who devote themselves to
them.

" ThQ communications which will be made to you
from me will prove to you the scrupulous fidelity,
worthy of the highest praise, with which my beloved
subjects, fulfilling the obligations which they have
imposed on themselves, with unparalleled alacrity
have made sacrifices to meet the wants of the State.
" The Almighty has given his blessing to these

sacrifices.
"In a few months a voluntary reduction of the
interest has procured a considerable saving.
" An advantageous convention has been also con-
cluded with respect to the Belgian debt.
"The results have considerably exceeded the esti-
mates which served as the basis of the plans adopted
in the last session of the States-General.
" The budgets which will be brought before you
will prove to you that the Government does not stop
in the course of retrenchment.
"The tariff of import, export, and transit duties,
already provisionally communicated to you, will now
become a subject of your deliberation.
" Holland will not confine itself to bare words,
when the successive improvements of our commercial
legation shall have to be considered.
"It will be necessary, seriously to attend to the
reform of our monetary system. I cherish the hope
that it may be effected without an augmentation of
the public burdens.
"Your High Mightinesses will receive the pro-
posals on this subject, as well as those the tendency
of which is to simplify more and more the administra-
tion of the finances.
" I trust that the projects of law which will be
presented to you, by virtue of Art. 6 of the funda-
mental law, will answer the object in the best manner.
"I will not draw your attention to the other pro-
jects of law which will be presented to you in the
course of this session. The Government does not
cease to prepare everything which is necessary to
answer the zeal with which the States-General attend
to the interests of the country.
" I implore the blessing of God on the task which
we have to fulfil for the welfare of the country—that
happy in the enjoyment of order, peace, and prosperity
—to develop those virtues which have always charac-
terised the Dutch people.
" I declare the present session of the States-General
to be opened."
FLUSHING, OCT. 19.—We hear with great pleasure
that the Government intend that considerable work
shall be commenced in the spring in the harbour of
Breskens, near Fort Frederick Henry, which must
give employment to many workmen.
Three gun-boats have sailed from the Scheldt to
Helvoetsluys for sailors to man the Ceres frigate,
which is under orders for the East Indies.
THE Ilsous, OCT. 21.—His Majesty has appointed
M. A. Van Gennep, President of the First Chamber
for this session.
The Second Chamber will commence its operations
to-morrow—first, with examining the validity of the
elections of the new members ; second, with choosing
three candidates, of whom the King will select one,
as President of the Chamber.

OUTRAGE IN MADEIRA.—The Sierra San Antonio,
a mountain district of Madeira, has recently been given
up to pillage under the following circumstances:—On
the evening of the 16th of September fourteen police-
men, some armed and others intoxicated, attempted to
seize Nicolao Vieira, a Portuguese, who, about eighteen
months ago, had joined the Scottish communion. Their
only authority was a warrant, not signed as required by
law. Under these circumstances Nicolao refused to
follow them until it should be light. his neighbours
rallied round him; and, after some altercation, but with
out a blow being struck by either side, the police re-
tired. On the 23d of September, fifty soldiers, com-
manded by Captain Oliveira, proceeded, under pretence
of seizing the offenders, to pillage the district. Some
of the houses were gutted, others stripped of their va-
luables, the live stock was killed, and the inhabitants
either taken prisoners or obliged to fly. The houses of
two English merchants, Messrs. Burnett and Ellicott,
were filled with women flying from the violence of the
soldiery. It was not till the pillage had continued three
days that those gentlemen obtained, by their urgent IT,
monstrance, an order to restrain the soldiers. Twenty-
two prisoners were brought round in a frigate and
lodged in Funchal gaol. The illegal signature of the
warrant would have justified any resistance, while the
circumstance that no blows wPTP s,trucl:i clearly proves
how trifling it actually was. The pillage was Nittiessed
by several English
.gentlemen who visited the spot, and
its effects are still visible to all who go to the Sierra.
Ten of the ppisoners belong to the family of Maria
Joaquina, who is still in prison under sentence of death.
A VAN UPSET IN CHEAPSlDE.—Testerday after-
noon, about five o'clock, a fearful accident ofepp:red In
Cheaps!cle, by the upsettipg a laTge coVered van, Which
was run against by a waggon, and overturned across the
foot-pavement at a time when it was thronged with pas-
sengers. Fortunately they contrived to get out of the
way before it fell upon them. The van was on the wrong
side of the way at the time.

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
4,000 bales, at previous rates. Buyers had an abundant
choice. Speculators took 200 bales American, and ex-

There are no ship arrivals with late news, from any
quarter.
In the produce markets a moderate business i.; doing
for immediate consumption, but the same healthy absence
of speculative excitement is still observable.
The public securities have to-day been steady. The
opening of the Chambers and States-General of Belgium
and Holland has given occasion to the Sovereigns of
those countries to make very satisfactory statements re-
lative to the finances and general position of their Go-
vernments, and as the Money Market here must feel the
influence of a stable state of things abroad, this is so far
satisfactory. As a counterpoise, however, there are one
or two other States which are said to be on the
look-out for loans. Consols for immediate transli-r
have realised 994 to 4 per cent. above par, and for Time
100 to 4. Exchequer-bills have realised 735. premium,
and India bonds, under I,OOOL, 935. premium. The
Commissioners bought at 994 Reduced Three per Cents.
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 1024 to
1011.
There is the same apathy again exhibited in regard
to Spanish Stock, which is almost nominal. The Five
per Cent. Bonds have been at 234 to 4, and the Three
per Cents. at 34:1 to 4. The Portuguese Converted
Stock has been at 51 to 51,1. Mexican brought 344 4 ;

than yesterday, although there is not a great deal doing.
The French lines are very firm.

THE BANKING-HOUSES OF THE

METROPOLIS.

We are glad to learn it is the general wish of the
public that the banking-houses of the metropolis
should close on Monday next, at twelve o'clock, for
the security of the bankers, as well as to enable the
gentlemen in the various establishments to participate
in the general holiday. This expression of public
feeling has been responded to by the general consent
of ALL the BANHING•HOUSES a but it would have
been well if the Committee of Bankers had regularly
advertised the adoption of this resolution, as the
Directors of the Bank of England have done. Every
street in the line of the procession--from St. James's-
street, in the west, to Aldgate, in the east, will be bar-
ricaded. Passage through any of these streets after 11
o'clock on Monday will be physically impossible ; and
as the greater number of the metropolitan banking-
houses are situated either in these thoroughfares, or in
streets abutting immediately on them, the adoption of
this measure of early closing is almost as much a
matter of necessity as of choice.

IN R 1 CHAPMAN AND HALL.
Sir C. F. Williams was engaged the whole morning in 1,
Fearing evidence in the above case.

CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice MAULE and Mr. Baron ROLFE.)
THE CASE OF THE AUGUSTA.
Their Lordships took their seats at ten o'clock, im-
mediately upon which, in consequence of the decision
pronounced yesterday, Captain Jennings was placed at
the bar.
Mr. PAYNE, who is counsel for the prosecution, then
applied for a further postponement of the trial, on the
Gold
Coast. of the expected arrival of Captain C. Hill, the
i
Governor of one of the British possessions on the Goa'
Coast. If his application was granted, there would be
no objection on the part of the prosecution again to
admit the prisoner to bail.
Mr. PRENDERGAST, on behalf of the prisoner, opposed
the motion. The prisoner had been indicted for carry-
ing on an illegal traffic in slaves. That charge had been
preferred against him as long ago as the conclusion Of
list year, and the Court had been so sufficiently satisfied
with the explanations which had been given on the part
of the prisoner, that since that period it had admitted
him from time to time to bail. At the last sessions
the prisoner pleaded autre fois acquit on the
ground that he had been tried at Sierra
Leone by a competent tribunal, for the same
offence, and acquitted, and that therefore he could not
be tried again for the same offence. The Court, it was
true, had decided yesterday against the validity of the
plea, but still Captain Jennings was anxious that his
trial should take place as soon as possible.
Mr. Baron ROLFE observed that the trial bad been
postponed from time to time to afford Captain Jennings
an opportunity of obtaining a copy of the judgment ti'f
the Court in Sierra Leone, in order that he might from 1
make out his defence. He bad put in a certain OA
and that had been held by the Learned Judgce wbe
heard it to be of no weight. He could not, therefore, see
fm what ground the application was made.
Mr. PRENDERGAST pressed for proceeding with tbe
trial. Captain Jenning had been in custody four or
times, which he submitted, taken together, formed s log
imprisonment. The prosecution had been commence
nearly two years ago, and was it to be supposed that the
parties who conducted the prosecution were not more
of the charge they bad made, or the means of sus'
taining it. If, however, their Lordships should tilinelci
that the trial could not, at the present time, be proses"
with, he was in hopes that the Court would make
peremptory order that it should be taken first at the
next sessions.
Mr. CLARKSON appeared on the same side, and sub-
mitted that the case ought to be tried the first at the
next sessions.
Mr. PAYNE said that if the prisoner, Captain Alining*
had been tried with Zulueta, the result on that cocoas°
would have been different. Upon that occasion, bow.:
ever, he was non est inventus, but as soon as Zulueta
acquitted, the non est inventus of Captain Jennings we"
lost, and the reality became apparent. The Captain sr
peered in Court, he howed a bold front to his aceose,ll,l.
he defied them to prove anything against him, and ""ne"
these circumstances he thought it was not asking. Ws'
much of the court to postpone the trial to next sew-00-
W. CLARKSON observed that the trial of M. Zulueta
took place on the 21st of October last year, and the Pri-
soner at the bar, Captain Jennings, was in custody eel
the 12th.

Some further discussion took place, which ended iR
Mr. Baron ROLFE directing the trial to stand OTer ot
the next session.
oil
Captain Jennings was then again admitted to ba ,ed
his former sureties, and immediately afterwejds quit"
the Court.
