The Public Health. The Returns For The L...
THE PUBLIC HEALTH . The returns for the last week from the metropolitan districts furnish evidence of a steady , if not a rapid , improvement in the public health . The deaths , which numbered 1532 in the previous week , declined to 1394 in that which , ended last Saturday ; but the mortality still exceeds the average of former years by more than S ^ o deaths , and it is also greater than , the mortality of the same week in 1849 , when the number had fallen to 1075 . Last -week cholera was fatal in 249 cases , diarrhoea in 102 . The deaths from the former disease were registered in the two last weeks in the five divisions of London in the following proportions : —In the western districts 59 . and 46 , in the northern 26 and 14 , in the central 31 and " ¦ -24 , in the eastern 95 and 50 , and on the south side of the river 200 and 11 . 5 . In the second -week of . October ^ 1849 , the deaths reported as caused by cholera -were 110 . Scarlatina prevails to some extent in London , and the mortality from it exhibits [ a weekly increase . In the last three returns this disease numbered 88 , 105 , and 112 . This is considerably more than the average .
Miscellaneous. "Why Mkule. Cruveluc Ran ...
MISCELLANEOUS . "Why Mkule . Cruveluc Ran Away . —Some glimmering of light begins to be thrown upon the causes of the sadden disappearance of Mdlle . Sophie Cruvelli . It is not true , as has been asserted , that she has taken to flight "because her name did not appear on the bills en vedette ; neither is it true that she has sacrificed her lucrative engagement in Paris for a still more lucrative engag « ment in America . She has bolted for other and far more feminine reasons—for nothing less than an affair of the heart . It appears that at the samo time with Mdlle . Cruvelli , and to all appearance at the same
moment , has also disappeared the young Baron "Vigier , a well-known Parisian , and it is said that the happy couple are now safely ensconced 3 n that terrestrial paradise—Brussels . The wonder is why they should have thought it worth while to run away from Paris , that being the place which over- 'ardent lovers geneially run to . The reason alleged is this : —The lady , who is as deeply enamoured as the gentleman , insisted that marriage should crown their mutual happiness ; and aa the lover is a more youth—considerably youngor , indeed , than the lady—it appears that they have gone to Brussels for the purpose of making their union indissoluble . The young man lias an immense fortune . —Globe .
Crystal Pat-A . OK . —Return of admissions for six days ending 20 th October , 1854 : —Number , including seaaon tickets , 17 , 474 . Maktiai- Law in Ca 3 , xfornia . —Some of the members of tho volunteer corps at Yorba Buona made their appearance one day on parade in n state bordering on intoxication . They wcro ordered to fall into lino . Al obeyed the order but one , a Mr . P ., well known to those who lived horo in ' 46 . Mr . P . backed up against one of the posts in front of tho house before which Captain . H . had , drawn up hif » men . This was in Kearny-atrcot , between Clay and Washington . " Pall into ranks 1 " cried tho captain . " I could not entertain tho proposition to fall , " said Mr . P . ; " can't leave this post , sir . " " Fall into tho ranks ! " again cried tho captain ; "if you don ' t , I will takeoff your head , sir ! " " Take at ,
flir , " said P ., " it is at your Teervico . " Tho captain stoppod baok and drew his sword , - which happened to be a long dragoon sword . * ' I any onco more , criod tho captain , at the top of his voice , " fall in ! If you don ' t , at tho worda oho , two , and threo , I will take off your head . " Mr . P . remained imino > vnblo . Tho captain ruiflod liis sword in the ft » co of th « whole company , and in tho moat solomu manner whirled it around hit * head , pronouncing , " ono , two , " nnd at " throo" ho cut tho lmgo uniform-hat of P . in two , just grazing tho top of Ma head . " There , sir , i » a opouimon of what I can do . Tho next out , off goca your ho » u . Will you fall into tho rnnltB now , sir ? " " Yos , air ~ r-r-o-o , " said P ., "I am perfectly wntiflflod . " Tho hat vfixa cut in two aa clean » 8 if It had boon done by n razor , nnd P . novcr winked an oyo when II . m « de tho Btroko . —California Monthly Pioneer .
The Collieries in the North . —There are indications of strikes among the colliers in the North . Of course two or three sets of discontented pitmen will raise the price of coals 10 s . a ton in London—there is such an absence of all other speculation . It is stated that symptoms of discontent at the amount of their present earnings , which , in many cases , as sliown by the books of the collieries , have reached 5 / . per fortnight per man , while putter lads , sixteen years of age , earn from 4 s . to 6 s . per day , are beginning to manifest themselves amongst the pitmen in the counties of Durham and Northumberland . At Sherburn , Sherburn-house , Littletown , the property of the Earl of Durham , and at Castle Eden Collieries , the hewers lately gave notice that they required the large advance of 2 s . per score . To this demand the coal owners flatly refused to accede , but have since offered the men an advance of 8 d . the score . With this the men are not satisfied , and have struck .
Belgian Gossip . —The'Indegendance Beige notices the revival in Paris of two rumours that have been current from time to time—the one that Lord Palmerston is coming here on a visit ; and the other that the English Ministry , by way of reciprocating the Emperor ' s freetrade measures , has resolved upon a very considerable reduction in the duties on French wines . The New Rulek of EaYPT .- ^ Said Pacha , says a correspondent of the Bombay Times , is evidently
impressed ¦ with a sense of his present dignity and importance , and desirous that it should neither be lessened nor forgotten . On some of his ci-devant acquaintance calling upon him in an eyeryvday costume , and with a " " Well , old boy , how are you ? " Said Pacha drew himself up with much dignity , and asked whether they would presume to address her Majesty Queen " Victoria in a similar costume and manner ? He subsequently ordered that none should be admitted to his presence in shootingcoats , or other than suitable costume—i . e ., full dress .
— Death of the Earl of Abingdqn . —We are sorry to announce the demise of the Earl of Abingdon , which took place on Monday , at Wytham Abbey , about three miles from Oxford . His lordship , who was in Ms 71 st year , was Lord-Lieutenant of Berkshire and High Steward of the borough of Abingdon . He is succeeded by his son , Lord Norreys , who represents the borough of Abingdon in Parliament . An Illumination for Alma . —On Friday night last Mr . Abdoullah Ydlibi , the Vice-Consul for Turkey , had his residence in Arlington-place , Oxford-road , Manchester , brilliantly illuminated , in celebration of the victory achieved by the allied armies at the battle of the Alma . In front of . the house was a , large painting
representing the Turkish standard , with the English standard on the right and the French flag on the left . Innumerable variegated lamps , in colours appropriate to the background , w « re attached to the painting , and produced an . attractive appearance . In large letters were emblazoned " Success to our Allies , " the whole being encircled with a wreath of laurel . The gardens were decorated with Oriental lanterns , some of them being arranged in the avenue leading to the house . The illumination commenced at five o ' clock , and closed at twelve . Some thousands of spectators were attracted to the locality . Capture of a Runaway Debtor from Australia . —A German Jew ., named Joseph Bernstein , absconded from his creditors in Australia , taking with him a very large sum of money . He left Melbourne in the ship
Saldanha , having in his possession a largo amount of the property with which ho absconded , and arrived at Liverpool on Saturday morning . Upon Bernstein ' s flight from Melbourne , one of his creditors , named Maunder , immediately started overland for England , and arrived here some days prior to tho Saldanha . He obtained an absconding debtor ' s warrant at the Bankruptcy Court hero , signed by Mr . Commissioner Perry , armed with which Mr . Gaskell , tho messenger of tho court , aided by two assistants , succeeded in apprehending Bernstein at tho luggage depot , Prince ' s Dock , where proporty to tho amount of upwards of 2000 ? . was found upon liim . Mr . Maundor's claim amountn to about 1800 J ., and a second detainer for 300 / . liaa sinco been laid upon Ms person . Bernstein was accompanied from Australia by a young female , whom he left on board the vessel , promising to meet her at a certain place .
Export ojc Iimsu Whisky . —There has been a most extraordinary falling off in the exports of wliisky from Dublin during tho past few weclcs . Tho quantity , which was in 1858 , 808 puncheons and 281 casks , dwindled down to }) 42 puncheons 175 caaka in tho corroapoiiding aix wooka of thin year , a deficiency of two-thirds . A Dklioath Skauoii . —Tho St . Xouis Ihrald states a ooBo of a young lady " of most undoubted respectability , " who entered a stow in that city and asked to bo
shown some gaiter boota ; n number were shown to hor , which she examined anil tried on . While tho attention of the storekeeper was occupied with another customer Hovorwl pairw or gaiters disappeared . Tho lady concluding not , to purchiwo , ho wuh compelled to aeouno her of Hocroting hla uhooa ; who domed it , nnd ho iiiHlntod , and proceeded to minroh , and found Hevoral pates Hiisponded by hooka whioh woro attached to tho lady ' s garters .

A November Session. Parliament Has.Been-...
A NOVEMBER SESSION . Parliament has . been- " further prorogued " to the 16 th of November , hut not for the despatch of business . "Why not for the despatch of business ? Already in this recess the Government , without any reference to Parliament ^ has arrived at important decisions , pregnant with historical consequences . Ere the 16 th of November still graver decisions may be required of our irresponsible Cabinet ; and before Christinas the country may be pledged to a policy revolutionising Europe—and in the wrong dii'ection .
There has been a story , this week , originating in a Ministerial journal , that the Government had repented of its generosity to " neutrals , '' in respect to [ Russian produce , and was about practically to blockade Prussian ports . No doubt the Government has ascertained that it blundered in making it the interest of Prussia , of Sweden , and of Denmark , to maintain a pro-Russian attitudo :
and no doubt some change is contemplated to bring down the exchango in St . Petersburg . But can we be considered a selfgoverning people , a people possessed of representative Government , while Downhigstreet is settling for itself the maritime law of nations , and considering independentl y propriety of outraging the well-ascertained opinions of all the mercantile bodies in Groat Britain ?
If there were no other reason why Parliament should soon meet—oven if there were a perfect agreement between her Majesty , her Majesty ' s Ministers , and her Majesty ' Public , as to the political sequences of tho campaign in the Crimea—thia inducement might bo supplied : that a national inquest is being domanded on tho conduct of several of our Admirals and Generals . It is common gossip —and it is a public accusation—that many who have boon trusted have been found
wanting . If tho stories of neglect at Scutari are founded in fact , then there is murder on some official soul ; and who ia to blame ? should bo a Parliamentary question . "Why
