MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—The number of deaths
during the week ending Sept. 20 was 774, showing a decrease
of 66, as compared with the preceding week, and less than
the average of five summers, by 130 Deaths caused by dis-
eases of the lungs and other organs of respiration are un-
usually few, being only 158, or 71 below the average. Bron-
chitis, however, forms an exception, the deaths being 22,
average 7. Under the head of small-pox there are only 4;
but the fatality arising from measles is still great, the number
of deaths being 58, average 24. The violent deaths amount
to 27, of which eleven were from fractures and contusions, 5
from drowning, 4 from burns and scalds, and 6 suicides.
The fall of rain, during the week, amounted to 1.37 inches.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Your correspondent from Exeter, in his anxiety to
serve his own views about the two Exmouth lines, omits to
mention that the share in one line is 10/.105., and in the other
25/., so that Daw's line at ss. premium is equal to Head's at
12s. 6d. There was a report that Head's line was taken up
by the South Devon Railway Company, and that gave them
a temporary rise. Daw's line sold freely in London the same
week at 10s., and they have since reached 255. premium in
Manchester.—Yours,

GLASGOW PIG IRON TRADE.—These few days
past this market continues very animated, with an upward
tendency in prices. Sales have been made at 85s. nett cash.
At this price holders are very firm, and few disposed to accept
of it. Contracts have been offered to the makers for large
quantities at 80s. nett cash—say immediate payment for
future delivery—which has been refused, their demands
being 90s. per ton. We quote the prices of to-day as 87s. t: d.
nett cash, although a few small parcels may be picked up at
85s. nett.—Glasgow National of Wednesday.
DEATH OF MR. BORTHWICE OF CROORSTON.—We
regret to have to announce the death of this gentleman, so long
known as an active magistrate, and one who took a peculiar interest
in the management of the affairs of the county of Edinburgh. On
Monday last Mr. Borthwick, it appears, was stepping on board of a
steamer at Rothesay quay, when he suddenly dropped down. He
was immediately carried to M'Corkindale's Inn, and the best medical
aid was procured ; but where, in spite of every possible skill and
attention, he breathed his last on Thursday night.—Cakdornan
Mercury.

Lord Brougham is expected in Grafton-street the
week after next from Brougham Hall, Westmoreland, en route for the
Centlient.

ROYAL ARSENAL, WOOLWICH.—The men in the
gun carriage department have extensive orders en hand for the com-
pletion of large gun, garrison, and ship carriages. Some of the
latter for 68-pounder and 56-pounder guns, with traversing platforms
of the strongest description, 16 feet long. Sixty-eight additional
workmen, consisting of wheel and ship carriage makers, joiners, and
blacksmiths, have been ordered to be entered to assist in expediting
the works required for her Majzsty's service.
SINGULAR DISOYERY OF THE BODY OF A CHILD
AT A NOBLEMAN'S MANSION.—On Wednesday night Mr. Bedford
held an inquest at the Barley-mow Tavern, Mount-street, Gros-
venor-square, on the body of a newly-born female child, found dead
under the following singular circumstances ;-11eary College, painter,
of 14, Paul-walk, Paddington, deposed, that about six o'clock on
Tuesday morning he was passing along Hill-street, Piccadilly, and
had his attention attracted on seeing a brown paper parcel lying pro-
jecting from under the gate of the Earl of Howe's mansion, in that
street. Witness called a policeman, who untied the parcel, and they
found it to contain the body of an infant. The constable removed it
to St. James's workhouse, and in consequence of the decomposed
state of the body, the surgeon was unable to say whether it had been
alive or not. The Coroner remarked upon the unfeeling conduct of
the parents, and, at his suggestion, the jury returned an open verdict,
" That deceased was found dead, but how death was caused there
was now do evidence to show."
FALL OF A House.—Wednesday morning, about
half-past twelve o'clock A.M., the inhabitants of Poland-street, Ox-
ford-street, were much alarmed by the sudden fall of a portion of the
house No. 43, in the occupation of Mr. Graham, the aeronaut. A
few days ago the adjoining house had been razed to the ground,
bat the necessary precaution of shoring up Mr. Graham's pre-
mises had not been taken. Mr. Graham and his family retired
to bed soon after eleven o'clock, but were shortly afterwards
alarmed by the falling of some bricks down the chimney in their bed-
room, and a loud cracking of timber, and they happily effected their

We have intelligence from Madrid to the 17th inst. The
city was perfectly tranquil, and the members of the Cabinet
had reconciled all their differences. NARVAEZ was still in-
disposed, though able to attend to business. It was under-
stood that the Chambers would not be convoked before the
end of the year. The Eco del Ccmiercio states that several
arrests had been made lately, and among other persons

No business was done on the Bourse on the 17th, but
there were some private transactions in the Three per Cents.

The Paris Conservative journals boast, and with good
reason, that Conservatism is daily gaining ground in France,
and instance the late elections as a proof. For nearly all the
places left vacant by the late promotions of Deputies to the
Chambers, Ministerial candidates have been returned. The
Opposition appear to be utterly powerless, caused
measure, as has been the case in this country, by dividing
their strength, and thereby playing into the hands of the
Government. Generally, however, the number of votes for
the Legitimatist candidate and those of the Left did not to-
gether equal those given to the successful candidate. The
Illessager gives the following returns of Members in place of
those raised to the Peerage by the last royal decree :—For
Rochefort, Colonel DUMAS, Conservative, who had 269 votes.
There were two Opposition candidates, M. ROT-BRY, who
had 92 votes, and M. RENOU DE BALLON, who had 93.
For Blois, M. BERGEVIN, Conservative; he bad 537 votes.
The Prince DE CHALAIS, the Legitimatist candidate, had 206,
and M. LEROY, the candidates of the Opposition of the Left,
116. For Coutances, M. QUESNAULT had 263 votes ;M.
LESIENGUONET, Legitimatist,l62 ; M. MossEurAN, Opposition
of the Left, 53. For Issoire (Puy de Dome), M.
MOULIN, Conservative, without opposition. On this
victory the Journal des Debats of Tuesday makes
the following remarks :—" The result of the elections of the
20th have reached us to-day. The Conservatives have every.
where been returned by large majorities. The boasting of
the Opposition had almost alarmed us. We confess our
weakness ; and still we ought to have had more confidence in
the good sense and patriotism of the electors. Our readers
may recollect that the Liberals and Legitimatists had pro-
mised to unite their suffrages at the second poll; unfortu-
nately, there was no occasion for a second poll, the Conser-
vative candidates having obtained more than the majority
required. At Vendome alone, another ballot will be neces-
sary, but there the Opposition has not the slightest chance of
success, the contest being between three candidates of the
Conservative party. In future our opponents will act wisely
in not awaiting the second ballot to give us the edifying
spectacle of their alliance."
On Sunday the KING, attended by General GOURGAUD, M.
DUMON, and M. CHEFFONTAINE, walked in the park at Eu
for about an hour, between twelve and two o'clock, and at
three took a drive to Treport, accompanied by General
GOURGAUD, Colonel DUMAS, the Marquis DE STRADA, and
two orderly officers, returning to the Palace at half-past four.
The Duke and Duchess of NEmoußs left Paris yesterday
for En.

The Gaze do Midi says, Don Carlos and his consort have at
length been released from the captivity in which they have been kept
by their kinsman, Louis Philippe. Don Carlos is about to proceed
to Rome, calling on his way at Genoa, in order to see two of his sons
who have entered the service of the King of Sardinia.
A private letter from Naples announces the death of Lady Co-
ventry, in that capital, on the 11th lust. Her Ladyship died suddenly
of apoplexy.
M. Mendizabal, ex-Minister of Finance in Spain, and who, until
recently, has been residing in Paris, arrived at Marseilles on Thurs-
day last.
It appears by a return from the Light-house Commission, that
France has at this time on her coasts and at the mouths of her rivers
231 light-houses, or other buildings with lights, and that the cost o
the erections and apparatus has amounted to 10,658,000 f.
"Engineers of the army, navy, and poets et chuussies, have," saysf
the Constitutionnel, " for some time been engaged in surveying the
coast of France, bounded by the ocean, and preparing plans of forts
and other fortifications, for its complete defence from invasion ; and
it is said the Minister of War wilt, in the course of the next session,
present a 13111 to the Chamber for a grant of credit sufficient to carry
these projects into execution."
A conflict has arisen between the Government of the Grand Duchy
of Baden and the Archbishop of Friburg, similar to that which has
existed between the Archbishop of Cologne and the Government of
Prussia. The Prelate of Friburg having commanded his clergy not
to celebrate any mixed marriages without his license as metropoli-
tan, the Government issued a declaration that this order was null
and void, as being contrary to the usages of the country, Notwith-
standing this, the Archbishop has reiterated his order, and enjoined
his clergy to a strict observance of it, ander the faith of the oath they
took when they were ordained,
A Berne letter states that the canton of Argau is raising a second
landwehr, tolerating the free corps, and allowing on its frontiers
assemblages of such a nature as to give alarm to the canton of Lu-
cerne. Bale Campagne also, it is said, maintains an aggressive posi-
tion, and does all in its power to provoke a renewal of hostilities. In
the meantime the cantons which think they are menaced are pre-
paring to defend themselves against attacks. General Sonneberg,
having obtained leave of absence from the service of Naples, has re-
turned to Lucerne, to re-assume the chief command of the armed
force.
