WEEKLY MoRrALITy.--The number of deaths in
the city during the week ending the goth inst,
was 1O7 of which 80 were children under II years
of age. The principal causes of death were as
follows: Stillborn, 10 ; Iris Nascentium, 5 Bron-
cbits, s.; Consumption, ,16 Infantile Commissions,
Z; Disease Of the Heart, Pneumonia, 4; Dysen-
terry, 2: and Fevers, 6. No case of yellow fever
reported. This mortality shows an increase of six
over that of the week previous but still proves the
city to be very healthy |
THE BEAtREGARD RIPLEs.--This exceedingly
well-drilled company, Lieut.. Commanding Brown,
treated the Crescent last night to Berenade with
their fine brass band They halted in front of this
Office while on their way to the house of Capt.
Meilleur, their gallant Commander, where they
presented his lady with beautiful silver SER
vice. They had a fine time generally, after the
presentation indulging in all the good things usual
to such happy occasions. The Beauregard Rifles
ere indeed noble set of fellows, and their
| Captain and his accomplished lady have great
cause to feel proud of the handsome compliment
conferred upon them.
A STIR AMONG THE CITY TRoops.-It was re-
ported on the streets yesterday that Gen. Lowell
had ordered Brig. Gen. Ruggles to proceed at once
to organize thoroughly the volunteer militia of the
city. Much speculation was INDUCED in as to the
measures Gen. Ruggles intended to adopt, but all
seemed perfectly satisfied with the arrangement,
and determined to do cheerfully all duty required
Of them. We suppose that the orders will be is
| sued in a day or two. ~
SuAM1soc'K GUARDS, COMPANY B, CAPT. LYNCH
This fine company has nearly its full complement
| of men already; and, under the efficient super
vision Of its gallant Captain, will, opportunity per
mittng, make a most credtable mark in the ser
| vice few more members are wanting to COM
/ pete the ranks, but at the present rate of acces
sions that want will be right speedily supplied
Their drill room is the finest in the city, being in
the splendid iron building corner of Camp and Poy
dras Streets .aud it is alike capacious and admir-
ably adapted to such patriotic purposes. Success
to the Shamrock Guards, and all other gallan
corps of citizen soldiery, say we. The services o
all may soon be put in requistion, and the bravt
defenders of the soil will ever be remembered.
COMMODORE HoLLANs SURPRIsED.--Most folk
think that it would be pretty hard matter to sur
prise our gallant Commodore, and they are abou
right, yet he was surprised yesterday mornln
most completely and by party of landsmen a
that. 1t appears that party of wei-knoWn cit
zens determined to pay him compliment whlc
would prove that they at least fully appreciated HI
