Health Or Loxdox.—The Official Report Sa...
Health or Loxdox . —The official report says : — The deaths in the metropolian districts , which in either of the two previous weeks hardly exceeded 870 , again show an increase : for in the week ending last Saturday they rose to 956 . In the same week oi 3 Si 9 cholera was rapidly spreading , and swelled the amount to , 1031 -, but setting aside that year , and taking tbe corresponding weeks of other years in the series ISil-oO , it appears that the lowest number was 749 in 1343 , and the highest 1 , 201 in 184 ? , and within the weeks subject to comparison the amount did not in general exceed 900 . —Of the 956 deaths of last week . 232 are attributed to diseases cf the zymotic Or epidemic order , showing a sudden and remarkable increase on ihe 224 and 209 cases of the same
description registered respectively in the two previous weeks . - On the other hand , persons who died from diseases of the respiratory organs ( exclusive of hooping-cough and consumption ) in the preyicus week were 112 , in the last week only S 5 ; but within the same period phthsis has risen from 110 to 141 . — Among epidemics which have become more fatal may be mentioned scarlatina , which numbered 6 in the preceding return , and 18 in the present ; typhus which'has risen from 32 to 59 , and diarrhoea , almost exclusively confined to children not older than one year , whose progress is marked by the numbers of four successive weeks , viz , 23 , 53 , 64 , and , in last week , 83 . —In sub-district of Sydenham , in Jew ' swalfc , a gentleman died after suffering twenty-four hours from diarrhoea . Tbe medical attendant states
that " within one hundred yards of the residence of deceased , and ou his property , there is . and has been for a considerable period , upwards of twenty square yards of surface overflowed with sewage , emptying itself into a ditch of about thirty yards long , which has no outlet , and isconstantly stirred np with rains and exposed to the rays of the sun , emitting at all times the most pestilential effluvia . The immediate neighbourhood is thickly populated , and the health of the inhabitants much endangered . Choleretic and gastro-typhoid cases are constantly occurring . The evil is referable to the adjacent properly ; it doea not come under local jurisdiction , and the deceased had no redress . "—Two cases of diarrhoea , one of which has been fatal , are reported , in Payne-street , Islington ; and here also the drainage is bad . a
circumstance 'to which the medical man attributes the origin of the disease . —The following are the particulars of 12 cases of cholera registered daring the week : —In-Eensington , at 5 , Queen ' s-road , on 15 th of July , the son of a cab proprietor , aged three months , died of " cholera infantum ( three days ) . " In Fulham , ' atParson ' s-green , on 25 th July the son of a gardener ^ aged 5 weeks , died of ' . 'English cholera . " The cottage ( says Mr . Knight the registrar ) is small and oadly ventilated . In Parsou ' s-greenlanethe daughter . of an Irish labourer , aged nine months , died of English cholera ( 4 days ) . " " The cottages are small and over-crowded . The medical attendant mentions that English cholera is very prevalentin Parson ' s-green-Iane , and likely to prove fatal in several cases ; he attributes it to
overcrowding of the houses , and the dirty habits of the cottages . " ' In Gray's-inn-lane sub-district , at 8 , 5 orth-p ! acey on 21 st July , the daughter of an artificial flower maker , aged 15 . months , " diarrhoea ( 2 months ) , English cholera ( 3 days ) . " Mr , Worrell describes the dwelling as " confined and unwholesome . " In * St . Clement Danes , at 10 , Cravenbu'ldings , on 17 th July , a waiter , aged 62 vears , " cholera ( 4 days ) . " At 88 , Holborn , 19 th July , the daughter of a confectioner , aged 11 months , - diarrhoea ( 31 days ) , cholera infantum ( 48 hours ) . " At Saffron-hill , 16 , Charles-street , on July 19 , the son of an optician , 16 months , "diarrhoea ( 3 days ) , English cholera . " In Clerkehwell , at 11 , Lambcourt , on July 15 , the daughter of a labourer , aged 1 year , " cholera ( 40 hours ) . " In Hoston Ifew
Town , at 7 , Craven-street , on July 20 , the daughter of agasfitter , aged 9 months , " cholera ( 3 days . )" In sub-district of Hackney-road , at 8 , Vincentstreet , July 17 , the son of a labourer , aged 10 weeks , " English cholera ( 1 week ) . " Mr . Murray States that "the street is close , crowded , and unstained " He adds , th at «» up to Saturday the 2 Cth ihe child had not been buried , and lay during the hot weather < in a close room , containing six persons , who'had only a single apartment for all the proposes '* of life . The decomposition of the body rendered the place very offensive , and cannot he otherwise than injurious to health . Old Uichol-street , ' where' a child died of diarrboea , and Mead-street , -a . continuation of Vincent-street , where another died of Scarlatina maligna , are also
described as close and undrained streets . In St . Geor ^ e-in-the-East , at 24 , James-street , on 22 nd July , " the son of a cabinet maker , aged eight months , "English cholera ( three days ) . " In Bennington , at 3 a ,- Henry-street , Vassal-read , on 21 st July , the daughter of a commercial traveller , aged 4 months , "diarrurca ; cholera infantum ( 6 days ) . ' ? ' This is a new house ; there is no drainage ) and the water , wdk-b . stagnate un ih ¦ garden , is at times very offensive . " In the above list the disorder designated in nearly all the cases " English ebolera , " or " cholera infantum , " and , with one exception , the patients were still at that early age in which so many at this " time of the year fall under "diarrhoja , " a shorter term , and applied to a milder form of the same complaint . The duration of the disease
as stated in most of the 12 cases is also characteristic of th-- ordinary form of cholera , for during tho severe visitations of the epidemic one half of the cases terminate in less than 24 hours . Last Week the births of 709 boys and 674 girls , in all 1 , 3 S 3 children , were registered . The average of corresponding weeks in six years ( 1 S 45 . 50 ) was 1 , 250 . —At the Hoyal Observatori ' , Greenwich , the mean reading of the barometer in the . week was 29 * 599 in . The mean daily temperature fell from CSdeg . on Sunday to 56 deg . on Thursday ; and the mean of ths week was 60 deg . ; which is rather below the average of the same week in ten years . The mean of Thursday was 7 deg below the average of that day . The wind blew generally from the west and north-west .
The EcHPSK . ^ -On Monday afternoon the expectation of observing the phenomena attending solar eclipses drew large numbers to the eminences in and around London most favourable for that purpose . The Monument , the gallery of St . Paul's , Greenwich-part , ' and Primrose-hill were especially visited for that ' purpose . ; The weather was most unfavourable toHhe observation , the sun and moon being alike hidden by the dense clouds at the commencement of the eclipse at three minutes past two . fora short period , between twenty minutes and twenty-five minuteapast two , a glance of the sun was obtainable .- But the clouds quickly gathered again over the two' orbes , completely concealing { hem from view : About three minutes before , the period of greatest obscuration the sun might again be seen for a moment , ' and looked like a narrow crescent with its horns upturned . About half-past three the sun was visible for ' an instant , and was afterwards concealed from view till the moon had passed completely over its disc . - '
3 lEXJtxcHOi . Tr ' Occurhejice . —On " Saturday , last Air . Garter held an inquest at the Bed Lion Inn , Buckland , near Reigate , on the bodies of Richard Allen and Edward Lisney , who were drowned in a pond nnder the following circumstances : The deceased men and five others had been cleaning out a fish-pond on the ; premises of'Sir Benjamin Brodie , at Betchworth . After their work on the previous Tuesday afternoon they proceeded to a pond to wash the mud off their persons , when two . men j named Rose and-Allen , went into the water first ; the latter dived in , and , after a few strokes , sunk . Hose went to biff assistance , when Allen seized hold of him , and they-hotti disappeared . Hose came to the surface , but "Allen was not seen alive again . Linsey then jumped in with a portion of his clothes on , and dived after the missing man , but . likewise disappeared , and' both were drowned . The jury remarked on the . case ' , when a verdict of " Accidentally drowned /* was returned , ,
Eracmos of a Sheriff . —On Monday a common hall was held for the election of a sheriff in the room of Mr . James Hartley , who , upon being declared , together -with Mr . Cotterall , to fill the office , declined to servei and paid tbe fine . Mr . "Winkworth proposed -William Hichard Swift as a candidate for the office . The proposition having been seconded , the names were put up , and the hall resounded with acclamations when the name of Mr . Swift was announced . The sheriff declared that the election' had fallen upon Richard Swift , Esq ., citizen and spectacle maker , and the newlyelected sheriff was formally called upon to take npon himself the * offiee . ' After a few words from Mr . Swift the hah" was dissolved . "

* iY £ STHiKSi & n Improvements . —After a delay of seven years the authorities having charge of the Westminster improvements have begun to take down the old pariah workhouse , standing in the line of the new Street . The work of renewal will n « w ,. it is to be hoped , go on somewhat faster—for the projected tlwrouiWare is one of the most pressing wants of the metropolis in respect to the course of traffic , while its moral necessity as a means of breaking up a low neighbourhood ia even greater . The houses now building iu Victoria-streetare of a good class . ^ Martin * at the Abbey and ronning through the districts anciently known as the Almonry and the old Mint , ' the three churches of St . Mark , the Holy Trinity , and Christ Church stand in the direct line of the -new street : as does also , we must add , the long dead wall
I of the Westminster House of Correction . The National Society , it is said , intend to erect their great training school in the street ; andin other respectsbeing the direct way from the squares of Belgravia to the Abbey and the halls and palaces of legislationfrom the lowest , it will probably become in a few years one of the best streets in London .- But the question occurs—what will become in tbe meantime of the poor who are driven out of their wretched dwellings ? Is it desirable that the stream of poverty should How into the already over-crowded purlieus of St . Giles ' s , Whitechapel , Lambeth , and Bermondsey ? We think not . From their being actually domiciled at Westminster , we suppose the means of life , such as they are , to these poor people , tie in the vicinity . Their removal to other districts , therefore ,
would not only tend to huddle the poor together in still narrower spaces , but would carry them , to some extent , away from the scene of their daily toils . ; A few nights ago it was suggested in Parlianent , tbat whenever a bill for town or city improvements was introduced for the sanction of Parliament , which made the removal of any poor dwellings a part of it * scheme , a clause should be inserted compelling the erection on the spot of a sufficient number of model houses , to afford accommodation to tbe whole of the displaced population . This hint will , we hope , be taken up and its principle adopted in , all future bills ; and even now it may not be too late for the
Westminster Improvement Commission to give a practical effect to the suggestion , by providing for tbe erection , either in the new street or in its immediate vicinity , of a pile of buildings similar to that which has succeeded so admirably in the Old St . Fancras Road . This would be both a humane and an efficient way of improving some of the worst features of the locality . —Athenccum . The Water Committee . — On Wednesday the inquiries of the committee ., were directed into the chemistry of the water supply of the different companies , and Messrs , Taylor , Aikin , and Cooper were examined on their chemical , animalcular , and microscopic peculiarities . . '
Awpuur Sudden Death . —Mr . H . M . Wakley held an inquest on Thursday week at the Coronation Seymour-street , Euston-square , on Mr . Barker , late superintendent of the railway police , Eustonsquare terminus , aged 61 . He breakfasted in his usual good health and good spirits at half-past eleven o ' clock ; in a . quarter of an hour afterwards his servant found him stretched a lifeless corpse on the floor of his bed-room , having died of disease of the heart . The jury returned a verdict of " Natural X > enih . " . ' .. --.. ' IU'PflESE . vmjox of Greenwich . —In the event of a vacancy occurring in the representation of this borough , Mr . M . Merryweather Turner has announced his intention of offering himself as a candidate . He professes ministerial principles .
Stoppage of Bi , A . CKFaiARS-BftiDOE . —On Tuesday the preparations for closing the traffic over Blackfriars-bridge commenced , and in the course of a few days the thoroughfare for carriages will be stopped . Foot passengers will , however , be permitted to pass over as usual . The committee have been reluctantly obliged to adopt this step , the continual sinking of the defective pier giving rise to serious apprehensions for the safety of the public . On the exclusion of carriages from the bridge , the superincumbent weight will be taken off the crown of the arch , and the necessary steps adopted for the safety of the structure . -
The Rkctort of St . Ann ' s , Blackfhiars . — Tuesday was appointed for the election of a rector of this parish , vacant by the resignation of the Rev . Dr . Harding , appointed Bishop of Bombay . Three candidates were in the field , and the polling was carried oh in the vestry room . with great spirit . The result , however , was the election of the Rev . Mr , Webster , the numbers being—Webster , 159 : Wilkinson , 139 . Frightful Occcrrexoe . —On Tuesday morning , ' an acsident took place on the premises of Mr . Keatloy , soap manufacturer , Great Georgerstreet , Bermondsey New Town , to a man named John Murphy , aged 24 years , a workman . It appeared
that the man was engaged with other workmen in preparing a large quantity of boiling lye ( a composition of ashes and other materials ) used in the mixture of soap , and while walking across , a plank placed on the side of the copper , he slipped and fell-into the boiling liquid . The screams of the poor fellow soon brought his companions to his assistance , and with considerable difficulty he was extricated in a most shocking condition , being scalded over his body , arms , logs , and thighs , to a very fearful extent . He was removed to Guy's Hospital , where he lies in a very precarious condition .

' Fataiv BoitER . Explosion at , Het , near Lees . — About nine b ! clock on Tuesday morning , the boiler belonging to the ' miU ' . of Messra . RhodeBiand Co ., of Hey , burst-416 is said somewhere near the dusthole , " in the bottom- of the boiler , and the steam rushed out with : tremendous force . into the firehole ; Over the boiler was a willow-room , in which three Jmen were working ., and the force of . the steruv threw upwards a small portion of the flagged floor of this room . The men , hearisg the explosion , and seeing : the : rush of steam from below , ran towards the door ; of the room to escape , and the steam concealing the aperture it had made in the floor , they unfortunately fell through it into the -steam and boiling water in the boiler-house below . . Two of them were almost instantaneously killed . When
the steam bad ; passed off and the water flowed away , the third man was extricated , still living , but he > expired in a few moments afterwards . It is generally thought-that the : boiler , was short of water ; and it is said that the water-pump had jttSt been looked to and set to work . Another statement is , that there was ho whistle to indicate the quantity of water in the boiler . The boiler is almost a new one . Further PartJcuubs . —Hey is about two miles East of Oldham , as the crow flies . —The engine was started about half-past eight o'clock , and . nothing unusual was observed until about ten minutes before nine , wh 8 n | the boiler burst with a loud noise , and the steam' £ nd water rushed fiercely out . The immediate . effect of tbis was to throw down the wall supporting the flagstones in the floor of . the
willow-room ; and the three men becoming alarmed ran to the door to get out , but they fell down with one of these stones into the space beneath . : At the time the explosion happened , Mr . George - Rhodes , one of the partners in the firm , wasgoing into the willow-room , and upon opening a door leading into it from the principal mill he was met by a cloud of dust followed by amah of steam . Heat once shut the door , and returned to the mill , from the lower floor of which he sent out all the workpeople ,, being afraid that the danger was not over . Some of these people going round to Ithe door leading from the willow-room into the mill yard , aud rinding that room full of steam and . a portion of the flooring fallen in , were at once convinced that tho three men , whom they could not see , must he severely injured . After the steam had . somewhat cleared away , some persons descended into the firing hole . The y found the men who had been workins in the willow-room , lying on the fallen fbig . The men
were at once brought out , when it was found that Wiriterbottom was quite dead . The other two were still alive , but almost immediately expired .-,. . Miv Elliot , surgeon , was speedily in attendance , but was of course unable to render any assistance ,, and the bodies were ; soon afterwards removed to the Red Lion Public-house , at Austerlamls , where thoy are now lying . The bodies are all very severely scalded but do not appear to have sustained any injury from the fall ; and there can he no doubt that , as stated by the surgeon , death was . caused by the scalding . Upon examination it was found that one of theplatcs in the upper part of the flue , immediately over the fire-box , had been rent by the explosion to the length of eighteen inches . The boiler was not moved frornits position , nor was any damage done to the machinery or the building , with the exception of the throwing down of the wall , and the falling of the large'flagstone already mentioned .

On . the Sunday night , I was in bed , and about twelve , o'clock Margaret f the deceased ) and Wich came in together , lney had some herring and bread , and asked me to get up and have some , and I did so . - The deceased said , "I'vemet . ah old acquaintance of mine , and that she was glad sbe'had done so . Wich made a similar remark He sent me' for some beer , arid ! fetched three quarts altogether , We sat about two hours , and then he said he would go to bed . He said
he would give her a shilling and me a shilling to stay till morning . He gave her the two shillings , and she gave me one . He had bad some drink before he came in , and he partook freely while in the cellar . When he went to bed he was the worse for drink—noisy j but good tempered . He put bis trousers ' under hishead , and deceased went to him and said ; '' John , you ' d better treat us to a drop of rum . " He said " No , I'll waittill morning and pay for a good breakfast for all of us . " The deceased afterwards said to me , "I don ' t feel inclined to sleep ; will you take ^ a walk ?

came home as near as I can guess between ' two and threeo ' elock in the morning , and found Wich up and dressed . Wich immediately said , " I ' . ve been robbed of four half-crowns . " - !

When the policeman arrested tbe prisoner he pulled the life-preserver out of his pocket , and said it was with that he had struck'her , and he was not sorry for it .

; . Tab French m Rome . —The Pope has communicated ' confidentially" t ' o the Austrian government his views of the French occupation of Rome , and-the Pilote de Londres , a French journal , published , in London . ' ' and ' edited . 'by , the daughter of Madame Tallien , has ' ¦ published the text of that document . ' Where the child of la Princesse de Chimay could have obtained this document is not stated ; but ft bears about it the evidence of authenticity ; The Pope places his acceptance ' of the French ' garrison : in'Rome , therefore , on the ground of an "imperious necessity ; " speaks of the future " as an abyss into which he "cannot look without a feeling of horror , on whichever side it , may be viewed ; and proposes the substitution without
delay of an Austrian corps for the French in his capital , ' . "it % iii be requisite , " observes the writer , . " that before ! the approach of the" fatal day , imposing bodies ' of , Austrian troops shall suddenly advance ' from ! two' sides oh Rome , ' , menacing the French garrison , - and at the same time cutting off their retreat from Givita Tecchia , " In COnclUS ' lOn i the : Holy Father , or his interpreter ; demands , in rather an insolent key , why the British government has not expelled the Italian refugees—more particularly the Italian committee , now , he says , sitting in London . How the French nation will relish the gratitude ; of the Pope for replacing' him on hia " seven hills , "; remains to be seen ; but as regards -Great Britain , ; there is no doubt that the Pope will " take nothing by his motion . " There is a curious admission in , one part of . this document which goes expressly to say , ' " The great majority of the Roman people is radically corrupted ( that is ,
anti-Papal , we presume ) and incapable ( query unwilling ?) of rendering to his own government the least support . " Truly this is a very flattering account of his subjects , given- from authority by bim who ought to be the father of his people instead of the Viceroy of Austria , whom be unblushingly calls the natural protector of all the states in the Italian Peninsula . - In the presence of such . doctrines as these we seem to be retrogradin g to the middle ages once more ; and exceeding ail the nefarious doings , of the Holy Alliance . "Whether this document be true , or false , there are vat this moment no means of ascertaining . If it be false , it-is curious—to say the least of it ; if it be true , it is most ' 'important , '; but be it the one or bo it the other , the I subject-matter it contains is well worthy of consideration ; for , as the Italians say , Si non e vero o ben tromlo—Gia .
