Health Of London During The Week. London...
HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK . London is suffering from the same diseases as were noticed last week , and 1124 deaths have been registered in tho first seven days ef August . The mortality is near the average of the first week of the month , on which 801 persons died in 1843 , and 1909 in 1849 , when the epidemic of Asiatic cholera was so fatal . Six hundred and fifty-six children under 15 years of age , 299 men and women , and 165 persons of the age of 60 and upwarda , died in the week ; 597 were males , and 527 females . It thus appears that though the bad sewers and water and air and impurity in London are most fatal at a high temperaturo in early life , persons of the middle age do not escape . Diarrhoea was the cause of 213 , cholera of 21 deaths ; 16 children and 5 persons above the age of 15 died of cholera ; 192 children and 21 adults of diarrhoea ; 16 of the cases of cholera occurred on the north , 5 on the south side of the Thames .
In its leading symptoms the cholera which prevails at present differs little from Asiatic cholera , but it is in London less rapid in its course than Asiatic cholera ; it is less influenced by elevation of soil , it always prevails more or less in summer , and comparatively few persons are attacked , lience it is a variety , which for the sake of distinction may be called summer cholera . Dr . Macloughlin , an inspector during the epidemic of 1849 , requests the Registrar General to call the attention of medical informants to the importance of stating in all cases how long premonitory symptoms of the approach of cholera preceded the attack in its fatal form . No cases of diarrhoea should be neglected in the present season . They should be immediately treated .

Satueday, August 7. News Arrived Yesterd...
Satueday , August 7 . News arrived yesterday by the Stebonheath from Port Phillip direct , about a fortnight later than those last received via Sydney , namely , to the 22 nd April . It appears tbat the production at the mines was steadily increasing , and was now estimated at 100 , 000 _£ . per week , or at the rate of more than 5 , 000 , 000 _Z . per annum for this colony alone . The present vessel has brought about 60 , 000 ounces , valued at 230 , 000 _^ . ; and
the Vanguard , which sailed a few days previously , but which has not yet arrived , took 17 , 490 ounces , or nearly 70 , 000 _^ . worth . The quotation was 60 * . to 61 * . per ounce . Great complaints continued to be made of the prevalence of crime , owing to the influx of convicts from Van Diemen _' s Land , many of whom were among the most successful people at the mines . Rain had begun to fall at Mount Alexander , but not so as to increase the facilities for working , and in the other districts it was still delayed .
The statement of the public revenue of the colony for the quarter had just been issued , and had created both satisfaction and surprise , the increase being 35 , 592 . ' ., a sum nearly equal to the whole public revenue of the corresponding quarter of last year . Much of this arose from the duties on spirits , tobacco , and foreign goods . In the territorial revenue , likewise , there was an extraordinary augmentation . For the corresponding quarter of 1851 tbe total of that revenue was 9 , 138 _Z ., and now it was 156 , 827 / ., the chief items of increase being the land sales , which amounted to 95 , 248 _Z . ; the gold licenses , which produced 48 , 597 / . ; and the gold escort , which produced 4 , 489 Z . The rate for bills on England was about 8 _| to 10 per cent , discount . Subjoined is a letter giving some clear details of the general state of affairs : — " Melbourne , April 14 .
" In my last letter I intimated my intention of visiting the gold fields in company with Mr . , which we have accomplished , making the detour by Mount Alexander , and coming down hy BalTarat on Geelong . The distance from Melbourne to the commissioner's tents at Forest Creek , which is at present the centre of the diggings , is 75 miles ; but Bendigo Creek , some 16 or 20 miles further on , which is a more recent discovery , promises to be even still more productive and extensive . The total population at the diggings is estimated by the Chief Commissioner at about 35 , 000 , but a considerable portion is migratory , and not half that number of licenses are issued .
"Tho present weekly produce cannot be nnder 30 , 000 ounces , or about 100 , 000 ? . in value , as tho Government escort alono now brings down about 20 , 000 ounces , independent of the large quantity convoyed privately . " From the Post-office to the river Loddon , a distance of six or seven miles , the bed and slopes of Forest Creek present the appearance of being covered with a series of gigantic molehills , interspersed with miserable small tents of every description , the occupants of which have a very squalid , unhealthy appearance , from exposure , privation , anel dust , sore eyes being universally prevalent .
" Tho roads now aro very bad , the cost of carriage from Melbourne being from 221 . to 251 . a ton , but most people aro of opinion that when the rain falls , in about a month , they will ho all but impassable , and serious apprehensions aro entertained of a scarcity of food during fhe winter months . " Tho gold is found both in deposit and in the matrix , a quartz vein having been _utruck at about 20 or 30 feet below tho _miriacc , and traeed for somo distance , whioh is worked successfully with no either tools or machinery than pickaxe , hammer , and tin dish . It has also been found in _ehijiosit iu various strata eif alluvial earth , clay , and gravel , and oven below tho trap-rock , leaving little room to doubt that tho _siipply is not likely to bo soon exhausted , whilo the Mittn-Mittii fields , near the boundary of the colony , on the Murray , aro still all but untried . Neither skill nor capital havo yet been employed , anil tho result hitherto attained has been by the rudost anel simplest moans .
" How lemg this is to last in tho question . Most people seem tei think that it will bo a length of timo beforo tho riches of tho surface ; aro cxhaiisteei ; and if ho , it , is certain that the ordinary occupations of life will be neglected , and that the prouont scarcity of labour will continue to bo oxporienccd . I , however , cannot hel p inclining to tho opinion that those gold fields , like others that have preceded them , will gradually become loss productive , anel only yield their treasures to enterprise , skill anel capital . Until this happens the relations ol life will never bo _rcestablishoel here ; and the Hoemer this takes place the bettor for the colony . There are a few thousand men at work at Jhillarat , but this is now quite a secondary field , both in extent anel _rie-hne-HS .
" . 1 ho people at tho diggings aro on the whole ) very well behaved , but this is in no small _degrees aftribufiiblo to tho measures taken to prevent the inordinate use oi * spirits — feir scones of excess and riot aro of daily occurrence in Melbourne and Geelong , and crime is very prevalent -the organization of the polico force being quite inuelcqtiato for its suppression . The robbery of the Nelson , in harbour , is the most daring net that has yet been commit ( eel , though eases eif _h'ss importance against both person ami property aro very _froepionf ; but on tho wholo , considering tho motley nature of the population and tho imperfect means of control , the _wiiuIIhohh of tho amount of crime its perhaps rather to bo wondered at . "
Satueday, August 7. News Arrived Yesterd...
A telegraphic despatch from tbe Hague , dated th 4 th inst ., announces the rejection by the States-Genera ? of the treaty with France . We learn from Cronstadt that the Emperor reached that city in excellent health and spirits on the _afh » . noon of the 27 th of July . rer " The Democrazia of Tesino says :- — " Our illustrious sculptor Vela was brought back on the 26 th' to our canton , under escort of the Lombardo-Venetian police
for having refused to be a member of the Academy 0 f Fine Arts with General Stranoldo aud other Austrian generals . Orders had been given to him to quit Lombardy in two hours . He solicited a delay of four months to put his affairs in order , but he received a letter from Venice telling him that he must expedite his departure . It is Field-Marshal Radetzki who while at Milan , adopted this severe measure against M Vela .
The Roman Catholic Primacy Bave Again Go...
The Roman Catholic Primacy bave again gone through the form of nominating one of their bod y to fill the office of Primate and Archbishop , vacated by the translation of Dr . Cullen to the metropolitan chair with the brevet rank of Apostolic Delegate in Ireland to the Court of Rome . There were three candidates for the appointment , two of whom ( Drs . Dixon and Kieran ) had been chosen on the former occasion as dignissimus and dignior , the third being Dr . _M'Nally , " Bishop" of Clogher , a prelate who until lately had
belonged to tbe now forgotten class of " moderates , " almost the last of whom was personified by the lamented Archbishop Murray . Dr . Cullen presided in his capacity of administrator at the meeting of the clergy , and having celebrated the solemn High Mass of the Holy Ghost , " his Grace" delivered a sermon , after which the election of his successor to the Primacy of all Ireland was proceeded with in the cathedral . The ceremonial having been concluded , a scrutiny of the votes was entered into , which gave the following results : —
_Dignissi ? nus—The very Rev . Dr . Dixon . . 21 Dignior—The Very Rev . Dr . ' Kieran ... 19 Dignus—The Very Rev . Dr . M'Nally , Bishop of Clogher 7 Dr . Dixon holds one of the Professorships in the Royal College of Maynooth .
A Curious Trial Began On Thursday,And Wa...
A curious trial began on Thursday , and was continued yesterday , still remaining unfinished . A girl about fifteen years old has brought a charge against the superior of the Warwood nunnery of ill-treatment , resulting in the loss of an eye . The charge is met by point blank denial . How it will end remains to be seen . Yesterday , after another long examination , Tripe and Montague wero committed for trial by Sir R . W . Garden . In continuation of the series of demonstrations , which have been held during tho present week to celebrate tho anniversary of the London Temperance League , tho annual meeting and conference of its members wore held at ten o ' clock yesterday morning , in tho Lower Room of Exeter Hall . The proceedings occupied the greater portion of the day , and the meeting was exceedingly well attended . Mr . James Silk Buckingham , president , took tho chair ; and after briefly opening thc meeting by stating the
objects for which they had been called together , called upon Afr . Brebble , honorary secretary , to read tho report , which stated , that during tho year , tho committee had issued 30 , 000 tracts anel appeals , tho expense for which had been 1001 . por month . Tho report further stated , that tho committee had in contemplation the erecting of a Temperance Palace in tho Strand , which would cost about 150 , 000 . 7 , and that , in their opinion , it would produce a gooel dividend . Tho financial position of the league showed that tho receipts for tho year ending August 3 hud been 807 / . 5 * ., which included a sum of 470 _J . His . dd . in hand at tho commencement of tho youv , and tho expenditure amounted to 110 ( 1 . * . 8 « ., leaving 2 WI . 3 s . duo to tho treasurer , which sum , it is anticipated , will bo defrayed by tho profits of the two days' fetes at tho Surrey Zoological Gardens . The report was then unanimously agreed to , ollieers were uppointcd for the year ensuing , and a vote of thanks was passed to the chairman .

OXKOJ 1 ) _I'NIVEUSlTtf KT . _KCTION . ( From tho Guardian . ) Tho following statistics for tho late election f «> r _^ , 0 University of Oxford will interest our readers . Taking into account the fact that scores of Mr . Gladstone ' s friends voted for Hir R . Jnglis , solely because they were asked to do so by Mr . Gladstone ' s committee , wc shall not he wrong in inferring , from the unusual number of single votes given after all to Mr . Gladstone , and from tho consequent position of Hir It . _Ingl's on the poll ( contrasted as it is in so marked a way with
the result of the election in 1847 ) , that the mcnihcr who retains his scat by prescription is not Mr . Gladstone , but Hir Robert Jnglis . Another attemp t such »» that recently made would probably issue in ft result very contrary to that intended by it _« promoters , and bring the votes of the University members into * , m '" mony by ejecting Hir Robert . The probability of such a result is considerably strengthened by the f »<; t , time of tho niemhorM of Convocation who havo become _s « eli wince 1847 , considerably movo than two-thirdfl iipp 0111 '
