Cbntbal Cattle-Wabket At Savtndon.—It Is...
Cbntbal Cattle-wabket at Savtndon . —It is proposed by the Great Western Rail-way Company to establish a fortnightly market for the sale of cattle at Swindon , their object being to make a grand central market for the sale of all the cattle coming up from South Wales and Ireland by the South "Wales line and the Irish boats . The Akt Treasures Exhibition . —The public -will learn with pleasure that Lieutenant-Colonel Biddulph has communicated to the executive committee the great interest which the Queen and Prince Albert continue to evince in the success of the exhibition . Her Majesty has promptly permitted a selection to be made from the works of mediaeval art in the royal collections at "Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace . The selection has been made ( under the direction of Mr . J . B . Waring ) , not so much to exhibit the wealth of the royal collections , as to illustrate , by rare and select specimens , those peculiar periods and styles of art , of which examples of equal importance have not , as yet , been contributed to the exhibition . —Manchester Examiner . Melancholy Death :. —An inquest was held on Monday afternoon , in the hospital of the Devon Co-tnty Gaol , before Mr . R- B . Crosse , coroner for the district , on the body of a gentleman , named Herman James Lott , who was formerly connected with the tanking firm of Flood and Lott , at Honiton . He was committed on Tuesday week , under a warrant from the County Court , as a prisoner for debt to the Debtors * Ward in the Devon County Gaol . On his arrival at the prison , he was in a Very excited state , and wa 3 evidently intoxicated . The following day , he became very ill , and Mr . Webb , the surgeon of the gaol , was called in . to attend him . Next day to that he had delirium tremens , for which the usual remedies were prescribed . He continued in that state until Friday week , when he died . A verdict was returned in accordance with the evidence .
Health of London . —In the week that ended on Saturday , the deaths of 1135 persons—viz . * 577 males and 558 females—were registered . The average number of deaths in the ten . weeks corresponding with last week of the years 1847-56 , -was 1251 ; but , as the deaths of last week occurred in an increased population , the average must be raised proportionally to the increase for the purpose of comparison , and in this case it will become 1376 . The number of deaths recorded last week is less by 241 than would have been returned if the average rate of mortality had prevailed . The deaths caused by diseases of the organs of respiration are not so numerous as they were about the end of November . Five persons are recorded as having died from the
intemperate use of spirituous liquors . Last year the number of deaths expressly stated as due to this cause was 66 , or rather more than one in a week ; but at this festive season an increase in cases of this description is , unfortunately , to he expected . On the 30 th of December , a man , aged 74 years , was found dead in St . John s-square from want of the necessaries of life . Five persons in the present returns—namel y , four men and a woman—had arrived at the age of 90 years or upwards . J . he oldest died in Mile-end , at the age of 96 vears . Last week , the births of 846 boys and 817 girls , in all 1663 children , were registered in London . In the ten corresponding weeks of the year 1847-56 , the average number was 1517 . —From the Registrar General ' s Weekly Return . J

London, Friday Evening, January 1g, 1857...
London , Friday Evening , January 1 G , 1857-The English funds have since last Friday experienced considerable fluctuation . Tho course pursued bv the Bank of England , with regard to loans on stock , caused some feeling of depression , which , howovcr , was in some measure counteracted by tho settlement of the Neufchatol disputes . Something has been said of a probability of tho Bank of Franco increasing their cnpita . 1 ; this caused a further buoyancy in consols , an impression being entertained that such a step would enable that establishment to afford more aiccominodation to speculators , thereby easing the money market . But for tho pressing demands in our discount markets , Consols would doubtless bo considerably higher than their present price , 04 , seeing that the political world is in a more tranquil state than it has been for somo time . There has been no very largo amount of business in tho Stock Exchango this week , attention having boon chiefly given to the arrangement of the account , which has passed ovor very satisfactorily . Tho rates for carrying over accounts to tho end of tho month wero a shado lighter than last timn .
Some bargains have boon dono in Turkish Six per Cent , at improved prices : but this Stock has novor recovered from tho heavy fall it had of 11 per cent , a few months ago . It has novor been well hold , but always a floating , speculative Stock , owing to tho fact that 1 per cent , of tho loan ia liable to bo drawn every year . Notwithstanding this , however , a Six per Cent . Stock at 9 !> is very cheap , ' especially when tho dividends have always boon promptly paid . Thoro has been very little alteration in tho Railway Markets generally thin week , although in somo casos , lower prices liavo been ostiibliahoil , us in tho London and North Western , Lancashire and Yorkshire , and Midlands , which average a fall of about a 1 ml 1 ' por cont .
