MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—The total num-
ber of deaths during the week ending Saturday, Sept.
7, was 915, exceeding those of the, previous week by
117, and the average of five summers by 15. The in-
crease has taken place chiefly among that class of
diseases called epidemic, endemic, and contagious.
The deaths caused by scarlatina are unusually
great, the number being 99, average 39, and of
those all, except one, were under 15 years
of age. Small-pox, too, has been very fatal,
the number being 49—average, 11 ; typhus, 39 ;
average, 28. Deaths from pneumonia, consumption,
and diseases of the lungs are considerably below the
average. The following is the analysis of the list of
violent deaths :—fracture or contusion, seven cases, of
which four were by falls, one by a carriage, and two
not stated how caused. Drowning, seven cases, of
which three were suicides, two accidental, and two not
stated. Burns, three cases. Murder, two cases.
Hanging, one case—suicide. And scald, one case.
Total, thirteen males and eight females. The fall of
rain in inches was 0.19.

CRICKET. Yesterday a match which created
much interest was played at the Copenhagen ground.
Islington, between 11 players of the Islington Albion
Club and 22 players of the I4lington Junior Club. The
22 players took their innings first, and scored 110 runs.
The 11 players then went in, and obtained 112 runs,
thus beating their 22 opponents by two runs,

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
A good business was done in Cotton at Liverpool
yesterday at firm rates. Sales 1,200 bales American,
and the total 7,000 bales.—South-Eastern and Dover
Shares were rather better, and a fair business was dune
in railways. Birmingham and Gloucester, Quarter, 27i;

The delay in the arrival of the West India mail has
caused some uneasiness, as it is now four clays over due.
In the Sydney papers received this morning to the
3d of May, there are many details relative to the affair
at. Otaheite which has not yet appeared in the published
accounts from that quarter, connected, with the late opera-
tions of the French against it. It is scarcely known
here that many of our countrymen who have settled in
Australia hare had a constant commercial communica-
tion with Otaheite and the other islands, of a standing
equal to a quarter of a century. The bod3.of the resi-
dent Protestant missionaries in the Georgian Islands
addressed the Governor of the French posses-
sions in the South Pacific Ocean, declining an
interview that had been asked to discuss af-
fairs upon three grounds :—First, that the changes or
occupation was coltrary to the great law of equity be-
tween man and man, nation and nation. Secondly, that
to accept the invitation would, in the estimation of man-
kind, amount to a compromise ; and thirdly, that though
exhorting the people to peaceable obedience, they had
never intended to recognise French authority. M. Bruat
eventually promised his protection to the missionaries.
There appears to be a considerable degree of excite-
ment in the colony on the subject of the fixity of the
tenure of land on the frontier, a proclamation on the sub-
ject having been issued by the Governor, which had
given great disapprobation on this matter.
The accounts from Port Philip received to-day are not
of interest.

The Funds are dull, Consols 99i 4 for Money, and 9913-
for Account. Exchequer Bills 765. to 745. prem.
The Foreign investments still have rather a firm ap-
pearance. Spanish Five per Cents. are 238, and the
Three per Cents. 341 to 8 ; Mexican are 358, and Bra-
zilian 87 to 874. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are
62* to 8 ; Portuguese Converted being 46.
The Railway Shares have not been much dealt in,
and exhibit, with one or two exceptions, a want of
buoyancy.
