    f H __ T _ OP Londok bCMKG THS Week . —The inertality of London exhibits a continued disposition to lnerr ase . The _deaihs , which in the three preced ing weeksweresuceesaively . 781 , 863 . 893 , rose id the "week ending last Saturday to 917 . In the ten corresponding weeks of 1840 _^ 9 , the _loivat number ef ? c _^ _Jfno I _?} ' a' 1 dw _ i 759 ; they rose in I 8 H _» to 1 , 086 , and daring the prevalence of cholera _zSSZSi * _£ ey werel . 967 . The average of the ten corresponding weeks _ig 1 ; 02 I , or augmented in the raao ot increase of nonnlitiMi . 1 . 114 : _rannoared wiih

    jhssh latter number , the return of last week shows a _^ _ectcaaa amounting to 197 . Small-pox carried off last week 12 children anl a man who had turned 50 years , and had been unsuccessfully vaccinated in his youth ; _ ea _ _es was fatal in 11 cases ; scarlatina in 2 b ; hooping cough in 18 ; cronp ih 6 ; thrush in 8 ; purpura in 2 ; infantile fever in 2 ; rheumatic fever ia 3 ; typhus in 32 . With the exception of measles and scarlatina , whicb now destroy not more than half the _aferage number of lives , the epidemics mentioned show a faiality that differs little from the "usual amount The gradual increase of mortality that has been ob 3 erved since the second week ofJulv

    up to the present date h due to the diarrhoea , chiefly . prevailing among children , which is known to attend this season of fie year , and which , if the conclusion may be drawn from returns of corresponding -weeks of 1840-9 , has immensely increased since 1845 , and daring later years has produced a mortality sixfold the amount which was common in the earlier . Last _« eek the deaths from dianhoea were 136 , of which 13 a occurred amongst infants Trader three Tears : of thes _^ _hUdreii not more than If had completed an existence in the world of twelve months . In the ssme week of 1846 there died 186 persons from diarrhoea , m thatof 1847 the deaths were 111 ; in 1848 there were 141 , and in 1849 , 179 . Last week 11 fatal cases flfa more or less severe form of cholera were

    recorded ; ax occurred amongst vomuj persons , and five at more advanced ages . Against the 11 deaths from cholera last week it is necessary to stale that there were 12 in the corresponding week of 1844 . _* 3 w that of 1846 , 21 in that of 1848 , and 926 in that of 1849 . lathe Royal Observatory , Greenwich roe mean reading of the barometer was 30 in . on 2 _* _es ° * J and Thursday .

    two o ' clock ; the numerous persons who were waiting on ths Blackfriars steamboat pier , and passing down the riVerin the steam packets , were most painfully -excited at seeing a gentlemanly-dressed man falhV from the south east side of the bridge . The skull bf tiie unfortunate man came in violent contact withthe stonework , whicb no doubt stunned him , for the moment _hereached the water he sank , and never rose agam . Mr . Robert Ware , the pier-master , imoediately dispatched the _pierman with , the life-boat ana drag to the spot , in order , if possible , to rescue the deceased . Unfortunately they were unable to find him , but while fishing for him they brought up

    the body of another man , which must have been in tha water several days . It is supposed by those who were on the bridge that it was not an act of suicide , but merely an accident . The account those parties gave the police was , that they saw the gentleman standing on the seat in the second recess , looking at the boats passing up and down the river , when his hat was blown off , and in Irs endeavour to reach it he overbalanced himself . The body of the man found _fias been taken to Paul ' s wharf to be identified . It appears to be that of a person about twenty years of age , and has a bum on the right cheek and another _ontheleftear .

Marchant was unable to lay hold of any thing , when he was precipitated a depth ofl 20 feet . He alighted on his feet , the effect of which was that both legs were frightfully fracture " . He was taken to the Unirersifcy College Hospital in a state of insensibility , where he was left without any hopes of recovery .

He observed to her that had he been aware she intended to drink the laudanum he would not have supplied her with It , as it would poison her . Deceased remarked that was just what she wanted it for , as she had taken _—^ pennyworth within half an hoar . Witness has frequently sold poisons , but had been cautioned by his master against doing so . —The coroner and jury Books in strong terms against a boy being allowed to hove the control of poisons , and agreed that some legislative enactment ought to be passed to prevent their indiscriminate sale . Verdict— " That the

    deceased died from the effect of laudanum , and that the jury cannot , separate without expressing their deep regret that so young a child should be left in charge ofa surgeon's shop , with the opportunity of selling poisons to any casual customer .

    Death Fbou Fiohtisg.—On Saturday Last,, ...

    Death fbou Fiohtisg . —On Saturday last ,, an _niquest was held at the Railway Tavern in Wolverhampton , on the body of Thomas Bartholomew , a _j-ouag man about eighteen years of age , who bad been killed in a fight with a fellow workman , named James Smith A quarrel having arisen between them , it was resolved to settle the dispute by a fight . About seven o'clock in the evening they commenced fighting on Horsley-fields-bridge . A few . rounds only had been fought , when Smith hit his opponent a severe blow on the left side . Bartholomew , immediate !'' became senseless , and expired , on the ground

    inthe course of ten minutes , before medical aid could be obtained . The fight appeared not to . have _bt'en altogether fair , as . Smith was represented to have struck the deceased on the- back after he had knocked him down . Yates , Smith ' s _. Becond . , was represented to have struck the deceased ' s brother twice wmle the latter was" endeavouring to prevent the parties from fighting . —Mr . Quinton ,-surgeon , having stated that death was occasioned by the rupture of the _storiiach arid one of the , vessels of the spleen , which might have been occasioned by -a blow from a man ' s fist , the jury returned a verdict of "Manslaughter " _againBt James Smith and William Yates , who were forthwith committed for trial at the

    I next assizes . The i , ate Boiler Expmsion at Bristol . — Another of the unfortunate sufferers of this accident died in the Bristol Infirmary on Saturday : last—the captain of the Red Roier , _AJbinns Paddy . The poor fellow had received , fractures , of his legs , and extensive scalds over several parts of his body , but hi" chief affliction was the shock of his nervous system , which was ofthe most severe character . ,- His mind was so severely affected by the occurrence tbat he could not be induced to believe _^ that any accident had happened , or that be ; was . in any . other way affected than by a chill in his legs . Until the close of last week some hopes were entertained , that he might rally sufficiently to save his life , but on Thursday he began to sink , and continued growing worse and worse till Saturday , when death put a period to his sufferings . Some others of the sufferers still . remain very ill , although it is hoped that most of them

    _may .. _...-.: . ,.-. _j ; Partiai Destruction of . _Parkhubsi . Prison bt Fire , —A fire broke out at midnight on the 1 st inst ) at the New Model Prison ; for juvenile offenders at Parkhnrst , of a serious ) description . :, One of . the principal wings , containing 200 cells , was totally destroyed , besides damage to otber parts of the prison . As regards the origin of the fire , there is ; too much reason to believe that it was the . act of a : party of juveniles , for the purpose of enabling them to escape from tho prison , in which object , however , they were defeated . For along _^ period the , fiames raged tremendously , and were not entirely subdued till five o ' clock the following morning , ty which time not a vestige of the ward ; or its three stories remained ; the whole of it was levelled to the ground , a loss of nearly £ 3 . 000 . During the morningthe

    convicts were locked iu one of the parade grounds , with a guard over them . An investigation has since been made by the authorities into the cause ofthe fire . No light or fire was permitted to remain in the ward after eight o ' clock in the evening , at which hour and the subsequent one tbe turnkeys went over every department ofthe building and found it safe . Itwa 3 heated by warm air , ejected through iron pipes placed along the galleries , but for several days previously it appears the apparatus has not been employed , therefore it is pretty evident the fire could not have resulted , from these means . One ofthe nrisoneis , we understand , has made a communication to the deputy-governor , which throws considerable suspicion on several of the elder convicts ; these have been placed in generate cells until the investigation is closed . One of them , it is said , has confessed that the prison was set on fire .

    A _Lusatic ix a Church . —On Sunday morning the service at Christ Church , Liverpool , was interrupted by a scene of the most extraordinary and exciting description . The Rev . Fielding Ould had just left the vestry , and was proceeding towards the pulpit to preach a sermon , when & man stepped forward from the seats immediately in front of the communion , and rushed before _^ he reverend gentleman . Mr . Caldwell , the sexton , was the first to interfere , and caught hold of the intruder by the coat , with the _« ew of impeding his : progress ; but , unfortunately , the garment gave way , arid the man proceeded . The greatest confusion reigned throughout the church , many of the congregation , from their position , not being able to see what _wasgoingforward ; but , when tlie man appeared in the pulpit and gesticu lated with all the wildness of a maniac , the scene was one of the

    greatest excitement . Many gentlemen left their seals in erder to assist the sexton in his endeavour to remove the offender . Mr , Caldwell at first'tried persuasion ; but , the man being deaf to all entreaty , it was found necessary to use force in order to eject him . The police were sent for , and shortly afterwards he was conveyed to tbe Rose-hill _police-s ' _ation . When there he refused to give any name , and the statements he made were of a very rambling nature , such aa to indicate that he was not in his right mind . Subsequently the unfortunate being was removed from Rose-hill , to the Main Bridewell , in order that h 9 might be properly secured . His name is Joseph'WbittUighara , " and some time ago it . was found necessary , to drifine him in the workhouse asylum , but of late he was looked upon as more ra tional and in a fit state to be at large .

The fire was discovered about ten o ' clock , when it- was just bursting forth in a building nsed as a store for finished and ' packed up goods , which contained at the time a nn & ber . o _' f bales _!

    ready fortransmission , asalso a quantity of - loose yarn . The ' men and engines arrived at the spot with laudable prompitude . ' The fiames had' progressed with alarming rapidity , and the aspect of affairs ' was such as to excite serious apprehensions . All hope of saving the place where the flames comnienceif was abandoned , and the main efforts of the firemen were directed to prevent their extension . As the storeroom was almost ih the centre of the block of buildings , this becanie a matter ef much importance and difficulty . By the-admirable arrangements adopted under the direction ofthe superintendent , and the exertions ofthe men , it was , however ' in great p _ _rfc accomplished .

On that day they , left their work assembled to the number of 500 and more , and proceeded to the house of Captain Francis , the agent of the Milwr Company , using the most outrageous gesticulations , arid calling out that , if tbey could find Captain Francis they would murder him .. . One of the rioters carried a sack on his back , into which it

    was said Captain Franc ' iB was to be _. put for the purpose oi burying , him alive , and we , understand that they really dug a . hole _ostensibly for this purpose . Captain Francis , however , having been made acquainted with the violence that was threatened him , left home in time to _sayo himself from personal outrage ) The rioters arrived at the house about eleven in the morning , and demanded admission into it from his daughter , Miss Jane Francis , _tbrcateninjrtbat if the doors were not opened they would breakfthem dowii , arid that four or five thousand men _^< _mld shortly come to their help .
