- (} " Health of liONDOif xnmnxa thb Wbek— -The deaths r ^ Ktetwo * in London , which in the previous week had * 2 ^ n < 015 , rose in that which ended last Saturday to ^ lSg & In the corresponding weeks of the ten years n 184 /» r 04 » & e average number was 1087 , which , however , 7 ! cMnpriBea the mortality caused by the cholera epidemics ® tit { . 849 and 1854 , and would iu normal conditions have r > ' Men lew than 1000 . That average , if raised by a tenth 5 n narTfor increase of population , becomes 1196 . The total ^ number of deaths from diarrhoea last week was 93 ; in 2 & e former week it was 67 . Nine deaths were returned
' > for last week as caused by cholera , including " cholera r'te fentum" and " choleraic diarrhoea . " Sbt of the cases •; occurred amongst children less than one year old ; the a > i * tf among adults twenty years of age and upwards . - /• Although two are reported as ' Asiatic cholera , " they ? ~ - * r « re probably only cases of the usual summer epidemic ; laud , as the season is now comparatively late , it is to be ? hoped that London will this year escape another visi"'' tation . In the corresponding week of 1849 there were " 788 deaths from cholera , and in that of last year there were 138 . —From the Registrar- General ' s Weekly Return .
' Thb Lord Mayors Coach . —At a Court of Common Council on Monday , Sir John Key , the chamberlain , stated that he had been served with the copy of a writ at the suit of Alderman Sidnej-, on account of having refused payment of an order for 100 * ., until the alderman produced a receipt for 3 / . 10 s ., the amount of assessed tax due upon the City state carriage . An excited discussion ensued , the result of which was that it was referred to the Officers and Clerks Committee to consider the course to be pursued . Mr . T . H . Hall then moved , " That the City Solicitor be instructed to defend Sir John Key in the action . " Mr . H . L . Taylor seconded the motion , which was carried unanimously .
A Nbw National Gallery . —Government , we understand , is seriously engaged with a question of a New . National Gallery- Ministers feel that the present mode of exhibiting the national p ictures—at Windsor , Hampton Court , the British Museum , the National Gallery , and Marlborough House—is eminently unsatisfactory . Flans are before them for the consolidation of these galleries . — Athenaeum . Floods ts GLOucK s-nsusnmE . — Unusually heavy descents of rain have flooded the neighbourhood of GloucesterCheltenham , and other parts of the county .
, A great deal of land has been laid under wateT , the crops have been damaged , sewers have burst , and streets have presented the appearance of canah ? . The banks of the Chelt gave way , and the bridge over the stream was completely hidden by the rising of the waters . Walls and palings were carried off , the stream penetrated into the lower floors of the houses , and a large amount of property has been destroyed . No human lives have been lost ; but several domestic animals were washed away . The rains -were accompanied by thunder nnd lightning . At Halifax similar H oods have just taken place , and
have caused the loss of two lives . The Siuitino Rkti- kjjs of the Board of Trade for the month ending the 30 th of June exhibit a decrease of arrivals , but a further increase in the clearances outward sufficient to demonstrate the continuance of a steady foreign trade . Aocidkxt on thk Midland Uailway . —The mixed goods train from Derby to Leeds , consisting of twentyqne carriages , came into contact on Wednesday with some obstruction , which caused the third carriage to get Off th « rail . Soven covered vans and open waggons were amaBhed to -atoms . The mils were torn up , and a great deal of property was destroyed ; but no Iosa of lilo ensued .
Dr . David Dumubkck writes to tho Times to aay that the Sevastopol Committee baa made in its Report a most erroneous deduction from his evidence , iu supposing that he meant to confirm the opinion that Dr . Hall gavo a false account of the atate of the Barrack Hospital at Scutari in October last . Dr . Dumbreck was too ill at tho time to inquire into the condition of that establishment . Thk Polish Mki-ttino—The meeting which was to
, have been held on AVednowiuy , in St . Mnrtin ' s Hall , Long-Acre , with a . view to urging tho formation of a Polish Legion and th e restoration of Polish nationality , was postponed sine > He on account of the sudden illness of Sir l > e Lacy Evans , who was to havo presided . Certain unworthy imputations having been cast ugamat bit Do Lacy , ho haa written to the daily papers to disavow thorn , and to express his surprise that the meeting was not hold without him . . .
Imoia ani > China . —Tho last advices from India nnd China report an utter ( stagnation of nil news of importance . In India , public attention and indignation la concentrated on tho Public Works Loan , concerning "Which there \ a n good deal of mystery . At Canton , tho people aro waiting for intelligence of tho rebels , of vrhich there is a lack . Tho rico famine baa boon relieved by importations . Tub Goodwood Hacks took plnco on Wednesday , vixen Quinco was tho leuding horse , winning i > n » ily by « length . Tub OnovH ani > thk Main . —Tho crop ") fortunately , havo -not aa yet been » oriou » ly damaged by tho laic heavy rains , though tlioy havo beta laid in many pUcos .
State of Trade . —The commercial condition of the country exhibits further signs of that' revival of confi - dence , if not of positive activity , which has broken in upon the dead stagnation of the winter and spring . Without any very brilliant or extraordinary prosperity , the markets for the most part exhibit steadiness . The Birmingham iron districts , which some months ago , were lamentably distressed , are now in a very favourable condition ; and , although Manchester is quiet , and the present is the dull season at Nottingham , the Yorkshire woollen markets and the Irish linen trade have cause for congratulation .
St . Babtholomew-the-Gbeat , Smithfielt > . — A meeting was held last week in the vestry-room of St . Bartholomew ' s to set on foot a subscription for the restoration of the parish church . This church , it appears , is the most ancient in London , having been built in th reign of Henry I . ; and consequently , being of the Norman architecture of that period , is unique in the metropolis . The rector , many vestrymen , and others interested in the object were present . A committee was unanimously appointed to raise subscriptions .

Money Market And City Intelligence. Frid...
MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . Friday Evening , August 3 , 1855 . The Funds have been very steady throughout the week , tue immense amounts withdrawn for the Continent , for rrench Loan , & c ., notwithstanding . Speculation seems to £ «? j , "V ?*? ° " channels forthe present , and nothing Mart ^ w ^ "v estments or sales prevail . In the Foreign « t 9 i IJi ?" 5 baa beea an inquiry after the French . Loan it £%£ l ? er " if * - P remi « m .

Venezuela Bonds have had an advance , in consequence of some speculative purchases . Turkish 6 per cent , is steady at 90 , andjfcerise would seem now to bejover for the present . In the Railway T » arket there has been a slight depression , the Traffic returns not
promising very great things . Great Western of Canada haa been largely dealt in , and , possibly , profits realised , for the market is flatter again- All the Foreign Railways , are very firm , and likely to continue so , their finance and revenue being in a satisfactory state . Joint Stock Banks Shares are much sought after , and the City Bank Snares have risen to 10 and 11 premium ; Bank of I / ondon to 4 and 5 premium . In the Mining Market there is but little doing . Crystal Palace Shares are very flat . Money is very easy , and any hour may bring us a telegraph from Sebastopol that will send the Funds up 2 per cent . At present the uncertain state of the command in the Crimea , and the prospect of another winters campaign , is keeping back the Funds , everything else being in their favour—fair harvest prospects , easy money , and no very discouraging news from the seat of war . .

CORN MARKET . Mark Lane , Friday Evening , August 3 , 1855 . The supplies of English and Foreign Wheat though moderate , arc Yullv equal to the demand , and the little business doing in \ Y heat is at Is . under the prices of Monday . It must be said , however , tliat holders are generally firm in declining to submit to any reduction . There has beenneit to nothing doing iu floating cargoes . A cargo of Galatz Wheat on passage has been sold at 70 s . cost , freight , and insurance . The demand for Maize does not continue at the advanced prices demanded for it by holders . A cargo of Yiuericau off the coast has been sold at 39 b . . Barley meets a very slow salo at former rates . There is again a fair supply of Oats in tlno condition . Monday ' s rates are supported , but it is probable that a decline ot ( id . must be submitted to . No alteration in Beans or Peas .
