Health Of London. (From The Registrar?- ...
HEALTH OF LONDON . ( From the Registrar ? - General's £ etia > n . y A thousand and fifteen deaths were registered ih London in the week that ended last Saturday , a number which , slightly exceeds that of the previous week . In the ttn corresponding weeks of the years 1844-53 the average number was 936 , which , if raised in , proportion Co increase of population , becomes 1030 . Hence it appears that the mortality of laat week was below the calculated result , but differs from it only to a small amount .
Pussyism.—" The Clergy Here Are Beginnin...
PusSyism . — " The clergy here are beginning to suspect that mitres , to be safe , should have the same ribbons to fasten them on as were woven for the appendages of the triple crovn . . We . musjt hold pur peace on this subject . Popery in another form is rising up in our own land . Mormons have their infallible and irresponsible priests , who also grant iiidvlgences . T 5 » u-may possess yotir brace or leash of wives if you can pay the priest for them . You may enjoy the privilege of seeing the covpre and clasps of a book that Came jdqwn Tronv heaven , superseding not only the Bible , but even the Decretals : you " may , consult th § Fathers of the Chnrch fatwto face , and communicate with their sisters and daughters in the" fleshv Nevertheless ; I doubt whether John Milton
or John Banyan would have entered into this community , although there-is nothing to scare them on the Salt Lake & juiiar to that which scared them on the Seven Hillsthat is to say , idolatry . Half a centurj ago , it was believed that fanaticism was drawing to a close . But human nature is fond of excitement . At one time there are iovfcfeastsj at another time Wood-feasts . It is bad enough ( so thinks an old bachelor ) to have a coaple of wives in the _ house : yet even this is more tolerable than a ' single uprightstake in the niarket-place . America has at present a good quantity of religions in the market : prudent men will deal with chapmen arid hucksters the most reasonable and civil ; not with rach as * when you ask for a parsnip , tell you that a potato is better adapted to yonr constitution , and insist on your taking it home , and on your dressing it according to their family cookery-book . " — Letters of an Americati . '
• Mahomet-anism . — " The advent of Mahomet did produce » real and effectual revolution . Whatever maybe the fables which this legislator added to the more ancient , to which the Arabs , like all other Orientals , were much addicted , he brought his auditors back from idolatry to the worship Of one only and purely spiritual God . H « had little chance with the Jews , who did not want him , and whom he did not want : he borrowed from them nothing but the example , the practice , and the autnoxiby of Moses . He saw the countrymen of this lawgiver obedient to his laws . Turning his eves in every other direction , he saw people who professed the Christian religion , not folio-wing the paths of Christ , but stopping to ' fight on the public road ; he saw many , -who held the clothes of the fighters , running off with them and their contents . This was his time ; and lie seized it His c « ed , like the sands of his country , flew far across the borders , and found nothing to scorch up but weeds . " Letters of an American .
Austria Proper . — " Austria is bat a name ; lier atee / ngth is all external . Lop off Hungary , lop off Lombardy , and what is left ? a dinner-table , a whist-table , and a billiard-table . Both Austria and Russia can and must be reduced to their elements . "—Letters of an America ?! .

Money Market And City Intelligence. Frid...
MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . Friday Evening , July 21 , 1854 . The settling on the July Consols account has passed off much more quietly than had been anticpated . Only two small failures , of an insignificant extent , have occurred ; and it must be now fairly presumed that the great Bear party , which held out so long and so obstinately , has at last given in . There has Iwen a slight rise within the last two days , owing to fiuer weather and an easier state of the Money Market ; but so surely as Consols are forced up to beyond their value , than a new Bear party will arise , gathering as it grows , and send them down 8 or 10 per cent - again . Tho prolongation of this most unsatisfactory warthe miserable imbecility aid indecision of the Coalition Ministry—and the criminal apathy of the worst House of Commons that we : have had since Walpole—must make reflective men anxious and fearful . It would seem that even with the active co-operation of the two Germanic powers the war must last over the winter , unless the cholera seizes the Czar , of which we presume there is a chance ; and a winter ' s delay will sicken the noncombatants , "while it demoralises the actual combatants . Meantime , Nicholas will be gaining ground , and by the help of his active agents—the Manchester school—in this country , may be in a better position at the opening of the next spring than at the close of the autumn . Whether this all-enduring country will quietly submit to a present disgrace and . future danger , will T ) e then thequestion ; judging from their present inertness , they will acquiesce and submit . The funds meantime must undergo violent changes : and we still maintain that , with . Consols at 94 , it is more prudent to be a Bear than a Bull . Shares have -been weaker during the week throughout all the markets . French shares still keep up . Since this morning there has been a fall in the Funds , despite of the fineness of tho day '; perhaps some holders of Three per Cents , may not implicitly believe the Coalition assurances that only 3 millions will be needed . Nearer 10 millions , and a loan before Parliam _ ent breaks up , will let down the Funds 5 per cent;—and is it not possible ? Crystal Palace snares have fluctuated ; there are buyers now at par . Some good men believe that tliey will eventually declaro a good dividend . Mining shares are entirely neglected ; the traffic in fhem has actually ceased , except in isolated instances .

Corn Market. Mark Lane, Friday Evening, ...
CORN MARKET . Mark Lane , Friday Evening , July 21 . Locajl Thadh . —Tho market continues in the satno quiet state as during the lost fortnight . The little disposition to purchase "Wheat either by millers or dealers , makes holders unwilling to talk about lower prices , and quotations must thoroloro bo considered nominally the same as on Monday . Barley and Oats remain , precisely as at tho beginning of the week . Sinco this day week tho trade throughout tho country has remained in tho quiet state which tho lino weather gave reason to © xpoot . Tho general decline in tho value of Wheat boa boon 3 s . to 4 s ., of Barley is . to 2 s ., and of Oats Is . por quarter . Tho roports of tho crops from all parts of England as well as from Scotland and Ireland vary but little . Tho Wheat looks well , but thoro is unquestionably a considerable quantity of blight of various kindo , which may prove fiufuolont to prevent tho erop Riving n very largo yiold . There is as usual some appearance of blight also among the Potatoos , both in England and Ireland ; but as rognrda tho lattur country > vo do not think thoro is reason for much sinprohonalon on that account , as Potntoca are much leas of a staple than formerly . Tho roports from Franco are of n similar oluiracter . Tho harvest has already begun in tho miilliuid districts , and though wot woathor may Impair tho condition , it will scarcely afflict tho quantity of grain . Prices lmvo rather rison » u Lho Paris ( liHtrlots owing to tho HghtnesM of stocks , but it is not believed that thi » can continue beyond a fow woolcts , Tho Fronoh Government has raauo some purchases of Wheat , which hoti boon partly furnished from the London mnrkot . Tho crops in the north of Germany aro progressing favourably . In tho absence of demand from this side , bnslnoHs in thoBnltlo ports linn boon ( hit during tho laat wtioli . In Denmark prices hnvo rouialnod much as bororo-, tlio crops In that country look woll . In America , tho atuto of tho Money Market ( owing to moat oxtontiivi ) forirerloa nn < l Urn im < -nimfcn < Wim ihin NiiinV
has cansted dWtl . markets both for Wheat and Flour . The crops geiiQtally . are } pell spoken of , but in Obio some extensive damiage Bas been dpne by wevil -to -what extent is not stated , but the loss is reported to be undoubtedly serious Notwithstanding the dull state of the trade , there have been a great number of sales at 63 s . for 61 lb . English for present delivery , whereas a -week ago but few persons had made up their minds to accept such prices . There has been some talk of farmers selling their new crops at 60 s . per quarter , and it may still be gathered frpmtlie ' general tone of remarks -that this is about the price at which the new season is expected to open . It may be interesting to know that th « quantities of Grain on passage from Alexandria to this country are about as follows i ~ Wheat , 30 , 553 attarters ; Beans , 44 , 398 quarters ; Maize , 21 , 273 quarters ; Barley , 17 , 760 quarters . . As regards prices of Grain , floating or f . o . b-, quotations are almost nominal .
