compared with last week ' s return , those , from : that class of complaints of which the above are the , most important have increased .. Por , in the preceding week , the .. deaths from diseases of * , If PF tory organs were 138 , last . week they were 171 . But it will be seen that phthisis ( or consumption ) which iasthwyearbeeri ' lessfatil than usual , is . notincluded in the observation ; for while mtho previous weekit wasfatalin 112 cases , last week there-were only . 93 , a considerably less number than m any of the ' ten corresponding weeks in 1840-9 , when they ranged T > eiweenl 07 arid . 138 . The ^ present . time Begins to be unfavourable to the health of the aged , Jut more propitious to ihe yonng . Eleven children died of small-pox , bes'ides a man who had nearly " atiained the age of 60 ; 22 of measles , 23 of
hooping cough , 33 of scarlatina , 7 of croup . . Fever is sow the epidemic which is most propuctivo of fatal results ; last week 55 persons , of whom about a half were of middle age , were its victims . ; In connexion with various deaths from fever , the registrars call attention to local nuisances ; but the following cas ? . which occurred in Wild-passage , St . Giles , is specially worthy of notice . The child of a labourer died there on the 3 rd . ' of " this month from typhus ,-making the third death , which , according to . the statement of the mother , has taken place amongst her children , in the same house , within six months . In " the dwelling (( added the informant ) there is a constant arid intolerable . amell . from the drains . The dffiitb ; of a boy , aged twenty-two months , is registered as caused by ' ! . typhus : loss of blood from the throaty by leeches . ? Fatal cases of diarrhcea snd dysentery do not exceed 20 ; and tbe following
is the only instance in . which cholera is mentioned —At 6 , Pitt-street , St . Gebrge ' s-road , the son of a shoemaker , aged ten months , died of "fever ( two days ) infantila cholera ( twelve hours . ) ' * .. The deaths of three persons are ascribed-directly or indirectly to intemperance ; and that of a woman in Jerining ' s-bnildings , Kensington , to want and exposure . The births of 851 boys and 726 girls were registered in the week . At the Koyal Observatory , Greenwich , the mean , reading of the barometer , on Saturday was 30-194 inches ; the mean of the week was 29-911 inches . The inean daily temperature varied little during the week , and was throughout higher than the average of each day . The mean of the week was 50-3 ™ , which is about 4 ° higher than the average of the same week , derived from . the observations of seven years . The wind was generally in the south-west . "
EsiBSSrVB CoXFLACHA ' tION at Bepipohd . —On Saturday morning last , a fire broke out in Deptford , ¦ which injured the premises of Mr . Palmer , -a grocer , No . 16 , Broadway ; those of Mr . Kenward , a linendraper , So . 15 ; and'tbe building numbered 17 , in the same thoroughfare , occupied ' by Mr . Peat , a cheesemonger , burning most furiously . The fire at one period assumed such an alarming aspect that the occupants of the bouses some distance off commenced removing their goods to a more distant place for protection . At length , however , owing to the exertion ' s of ail parties 7 the fire was extinf uished , bnt not until a serious amount of property was destroyed . " ¦¦ Ettexsive Fikk . —At a few minutes before two
o * c : ocfc"oa Tuesday morning , the neighbourhood of Great Russeltstreeti Bermondsey , was thrown into great confusion , through a fire breaking out in a range of premises belonging to Mrv Harfedine , a rag merchant , in -Butler ' s-walk , Bermondsey-streit . which extended into Bins Anchor-place , the whole being of great magniieds , and which w . is adjoined by the premises belonging to Mr . Murrall , a straw merchant , the national schools , and several other erections used for private and manufacturing purposes . Numerous engines of the London Brigade and West of England Company speedily arrived , and plenty of water having been procured , the whole force was brought to bear' upon tbe conflagration , - but it was nearly three o ' clock before the mastery over the fire could be obtained .- ' ... . ..
The Late Bobglahy . jk the Regent ' s Pahs . — On Monday morning the four men , John Mitchell , "WillLirii Dyson , James Mahon , alios Hollinsdale , and William Robinson , all of whom were under remand upon tbe charge of burglary at the mansion of J . Holford , Esq ., Holfora-house , Regent's Park , were brought up at the Marylebone Police-court . The perforated hat was called for by the magistrate , who directed that Drage , D , shonld place it on the head of Mitchell . This was done by the officer , and on his being asked by Mr . Broughton if it fitted , he replied that it did . —Mr . Wakefield examined : Remembers Mitchell being brought to the House of Detention on remand . He was- severely -wounded in the left side with numerous small shots , extending t-om tbe hip to the head , arid the' wounds
" were covered with poultices , which were removed by the warder . There is no doubt in my mind as -to their being shot wounds . Since he has been under my care no shots have come away from him that I have seen . There are , in my opinion , some under the surface of the skin now . There were several shoi in the : nape of the neck , and several under the scalp . ( The riddled hat was here shown to Mr . Wakefield . ) Had seen ii to day for the first time . The marks appear to me to be caused by shot . Some of the shots which passed through tbe bat would have produced the wounds in tbe scalp that he bad stated . The prisoner is a great deal better . He had at one time a bad ab & eess , which has now nearly healed . —He has been most severely -wonnded ; and . to the best of my belief , he has received altogether as many as 60 or 70 shot ? , most of them In the arm . —Mr . Broughton ( to Mitchell ) Do . you wish to ask this witness any questions ?
Mitchell : So , your worship . —Mr . Broughton : Does eitber of the prisoners wish to say anything ? Mahon ; Yes , I wish to ask—but , suddenly stopping , be said—I've taken a second thought , I won ' t ask it now . —Mr . Fell , the chief clerk , then read over the depositions taken from time to time in this case . —Mr . Broughton ( to the prisoners ) : Having heard the evidence , do you wish ; either of you , to say anything ? You are not obliged to do so , but whatever you do say will be taken down , and may be used agamst you at your trial . —The prisoners replied that they had nothing to say . —The magistrate discharged Robinson , at the same time saying that he had had a most narrow escape . He hoped that he -would now see the necessity of quitting evil companions , and doing all in bis power to obtain a living in a honest and respectable way . Mr . Broughton aAAed , that he should seed the other three prisoners for trial at the next sessions of the Central
Criminal Conrt , upon what he considered to be as clear evidence as ever went before a jury . —The prisoners were then removed from the bar , and Mitchell , Dyson , and Mahon were locked up . The recest Loss of Four Lives oh the River . —Oa Monday Mr . C- C . Lewis , the coroner for Sjutb Essex , resumed an inquiry atthe * Bell and Anchor Inn , Plaistpw , respecting the death of "William John Luck , aged twenty-five , who with three others was drowned , by a baat in which they were coming in collision with the Duke of Cambridge ( Cork )
steamer , on the morning of the 17 th alt . The evidence adduced was of a very contradictory character , one class of witnesses affirming tbat tbe accident -would not have happened if there bad been a proper look-out on board the steamer , while the other tide were of opinion that the boat was managed recklessly , and as if the men in her were bent on destroying themselves . - —After half , an hour ' s ; consideration the jury returned a verdict of manslaughter against " Wm . John Coe , the pilot who bad charge of tbe- Duke of Cambridge at tbe time of the accident . —
¦ > .- . Accident at WESTMissTEK-BRrDGE . —On Saturday . Lost , an accident , by which the lives of several -persons were jeopardised , took place at Westminster bridge steam-boat pier , during the time the : lord Mayor was going on board the City barge rafter leaving . Westminster . Hall . The civic functionaries were in the act of getting into the state barges when the rush of people -: on to the steam-. boat pier became so great that the whole structure became densely packed . At the end of the steps of ¦ the bridge a stage , between twenty and thirty feet ilong was thrown over the river to one of the dummies , and although the crowd were warned of the ' danger they exposed themselves to by standing on that portion of the structure , yet they refused to ; n » ove . Owing to the . weight on it one of the ; beams broke , and tbe occupants were precipitated : into the mud . Several , were severely bruised , arid ; a- child belonging to Mr . Yacher , the law stationer , . . of P-trliament-street , unfortunately got its leg broken . ;? . - •' ¦

The face arid hands of deceased wore coldj but the body was described as'iiuite h ' otf proving that he " had not long met with his death . There was no hat found , arid on him was only one penny , a comb , and penknife . He remained undentified until Monday night ; when MrvRowe and his wife
recognised the body as-that of Mr . Robert Hancock , who with his wife , had resided at their house in Vauxhall-street for some months past ; he stated that he was brpther-in-law ^ tb Mri ' Gooch , the late superintendent of the locomotive department ,. on the South Western Railway , and that the deceased had been an assistant under him . On the opening of-the Windsor line , the deceased bad : the management of the . locomotive department at / Windsor , but was . compelled to relinquish the appointment from homing deranged .

Platform , Rotheritbe , on view of the body of Charles Cooke ,: one of the four , unfortunate fellows , who were drowned . by the boat , in which they were coming in collision with the Duke of Cambridge ( Cork ) steamer . It may be stated that these proceedings , were opened previous to those before the Essex coroner , which , concluded on Monday in a verdict , of manslaughter being , returned against William Coe , the pilot who was said to have had charge of the steamer .. The same witnesses being
examined as were called at the former investigation , and it beingsworn positively by several partiesemployed on the river that tho deceased rowed the boat athwart the steamer ' s bows , and , that the engines were stopped , the coroner summed up , and desired the jury not to be guided by what had taken place elsewhere , but " solely by the evidence tbat bad been adduced before them . After about a quarter of an hour ' s consultation , they returned a verdict of " Accidental death , " adding thatthey had not the slightest doubt in coming to that conclusion .

BEiaiosr HousETBDnsT . —This ,. ailarge mansion atPoetswood , near Southampton ,-was burnt to the ground on Saturdav night last . It was'built ; on what is called the Portswood estate ,, thtv property of George . Jones ,-Esq ., aigendeman ^ ofjiargew pro perty near . Liverpool . jBelmont . House , was ? built several years ' ago , and was never inhabited . It conjtained large stores , of grain and other farm produce when the fire took ' place . -Amongst these stores , the fire was first discovered ,, and-is supposed to . have originated in spontaneous , combustion . A : number of engines were soon on the spot , but not a drop . of water could befonnd . vand v the fire was allowed , to take its course ! Some sapper * and miners from the Ordnance-map-office entered the mansion while it
was burning , and attempted , to save some of . the produce , but they failed in effecting their purpose .. '_ The Poibonkg at Cosisclitfe Moor House . — Darlington . Nov . 8 .- ^ The mystery in . which . the circumstances connected with the death of Mr , G . Young remained , involved at the conclusion of the last inquiry , has been considerably removed by some additional evidence which has just transpired . Mary Cleasby , keeper of the Coniscliffe Toll-bar , has made the following statement , which was taken down in writing : at the time , by the medical gentleman to whom it was communicated : — " On the Friday week before the death of Mr . Young he called at the gate , and after some talk he asked for a pot . to get a drink from the pump . . leave him a glass ,: and , I , then
through a small window , saw him at the pump take a paper from his waistcoat pocket , and put some white powder from the paper into the glass ; he , put back the paper , folded , into , his wa-stcoat pocket . I thought it was one of . those boiling soda powders . He next began to pump , when I called through : the window that he Ind better pump off the warm water which was in the . pump first .. He seemed . startled when I spoke ,: but did as I told him , and having got the water ' he turned his face from the window and appeared to drink , and then threw away what : was left ia tho glass . He then sat down on the' stone at the door , and he had ; not sat a minute when bis colour turned pale , audi said Mr . Young , you don ' t seem well . He said , no , not very well .. He then got up and walked homewards , but stopped when he bad got about sixty yards , and leaned . upon his stick , and threw up . He then walked on , arid again stopped
when he had gone as far again , and threw , up ; after that he turned into the lane , that leads . to his house , arid I lost right of him till he came into tbe field beyond . In walking up there 1 saw him stop thrico and lean on his stick , so that I thought he was throwing up again * . After I lost sight of him , I took the glass , and saw at the bottom some of the white powder , so I took some water to rinse out the glass , and threw it into the fire ( the water and powder ); it turned the coals . black at first , as water does , but when it burnt up the coals burned with a blue flame . " The white powder described seems to correspond in every particular with arsenic- The absence of fatal results at that time is accounted for by the immediate and repeated vomitings : The dis covery of . these circumstances tends materially' to remove- the suspicion- attaching to deceased ' s widow , and strengthens the opinion that the poison from which death ensued had been taken by deceased ¦ ¦ ¦¦¦ )¦¦

article in which he dealt , but he could have no right to prepare and get up that article so as to resemble the article invented by the plaintiff , and thereby deceive the public into a belief that" It -was that of the plaintiff a .,: It . was only necessary to refer to the evidence of Gayneau to see that the defendant had given orders that the . direction papers , of . the plaintiff should serve ' as a guide or model of the pam-. phlets which the defendant wished him 'to prepare , so as to pass with the public as the- pamphlets of the . plaintiff .. This was a direct avowal of an intention to commit a fraud upon the plaintiff . " If was stated also to Hall , ; by the defendant . that the intrbdb ' ction of the initial . letter "H" for Henrv
would never'be noticed , and the medicines might be very well sold as those of liis brother . ; This was certainlyadescription of property which was-protected by law , nnd when it came under the jurisdiction of the court it must ' have the benefit of-that protection . Tho only thing which pressed upon the court was the suggestion that the defendant had not had time enough to put in a sufficient ansVrer . His lordship would , therefore , . ' introduce-into the terms of the order for the injunction ; which . he . was determined to grant in this instance , permission to the defendant to move to dissolve the injunction should he be provided with sufficient ' eTidenee to eontradict the plaintiffs affidavits . - ; The injunction , as prayed by the : plaintiff ' s bill , was accordingly , granted . ¦ ¦;" ..-.
Navioatiko The Air.—We Find-The Followin...
Navioatiko the Air . —We find-the following in the Eoenement : — " On Saturday afternoon , at halfpast three o ' clock , an experiment took place at the Hippodrome , before some of the representatives of the . press , relative to the possibility ; , of directing balloons inthe air . A small balloon , ma'de of goldbeater ' s skin , in the shape of a long fish , and suspended from wooden supporters , was made to go straight against the wjnd by ' nieah ' s of two small wings , to which a semi-circular movem ' p ' rit wasi imparted by machinery on ' . the screw principle . Tho experiment was considered perfectly satisfactory . " The Opinimi Pubtique gives . tho following , details of the experiment : — " In this experiment we cannot say that a sblutionof the prbbleiriof navigating at
will through the nir has been come to , but we think that a first step has beenrnade in the matter . The model balloon which was used to make the experimentmeasures five yards in length , and contained , 1 , 200 . litre ' s of gas ; 'it weighs 1 , 200 grammes , and is completely-of the form of a fish , with fins and tail . The tail is composed of tw o small-rudders , one which causes tho balloon to ascend , whilst the other turns it either to the right or left . ' The fins are represented by two moveable oars , short and wide , which . are moved by a very simple ' piece of ' mechanisJri- ,, The whole apparatus is covered with network , ' and with blinds of whalebone . Th is model , which is . rather diminutive , labours under very serious ; disadvantages . The necessity of making ht
the mechanism for moving . the . wings very lig , ' only , allows it td act for a ycjry short time ; nevertheless the balloon weut for' a certain Space in a direct line , and even described a circle ; though with some difficulty . In ordrr to be able to carry three men , the balloon should be at least : seventy yards long , and the fins worked in thocnrbelowbyMeaas of a handle turned by two iiicn ! or by means of . a wheel similar to that of the treadmill / ' The exhilu tion of M . Arnault , the inventor , Is of n nature to excite public curiosity to a high degree . Chikbsb Produce . —The importations of fancy articles from China , arc much more , various . and extensive' than used formerly to be the case . A vessel which has just arrived frofli .. Canton , has brought no less than 370 packages of china and lavquered wares , as a portion'of a largo general cargo from the Chinese empire . : : ' ¦
