Sailors' Homes.—The First Sailors' Home,...
Sailors' Homes . —The first sailors' home , under the recent Mercantile Marine Act , is to be established , it is understood , at Plymouth . The 43 rd section of the act ( 13 th and 14 th Victoria , cap . 93 ) states that it is expedient to encourage sailors' homes in the seaports of the United Kingdom . The Board of Trade , or a local marine board , appointing any person to be a superintendent or shipping master , connected with a sailors' home , may authorize the whole or any portion of the fees paid at any
such office to be appropriated for the use of such home . The Board of Trade in the port of London may appoint any superintendent of any sailors' home , or any other person connected therewith , to be a shipping master , with such clerks and servants as may be necessary ; and all shipping masters , deputies , clerks , and servants so appointed , and all shipping offices so constituted in the port of London , are to be subject to the immediate control of the Board of Trade , and not to the local marine
board of the port . Expenditure or Commissioners of Woods and Forests . —It appears by the general abstract of the accounts of the Commissioners of her Majesty ' s Woods and Forests for the year ended the 31 st of March , 1850 , that the total receipts were £ 1 , 532 , 976 , and the payments £ 1 , 155 , 947 , leaving a balance of £ 377 , 029 . The following were the principal sums paid by the commissioners in compliance with votes of Parliament : —Public buildings and royal palaces , £ 97 , 575 ; Buckingham Palace improvements , £ 21 , 066 ; new palm house at Kew , £ 699 ; temporary Houses of Parliament , £ 3777 ; new
Houses of Parliament , £ 92 , 662 ; Holyhead harbour , £ 8816 ; Harbour of Refuge at Holyhead , £ 1789 ; British Museum buildings , £ 26 . 159 ; Geological survey , £ 14 , 774 ; Nelson monument , £ 1914 ; Ambassador ' s house at Paris , £ 917 ; Ambassador ' s house at Constantinople , £ 5787 ; Metropolitan improvements ( 3 rd and 4 th Vic . c . 9 and 10 ) , £ 411 , 000 ; Chelsea-bridge and embankment , £ 6930 ; Battersea-park , £ 30 , 881 ; Menai and Conway bridges tolls accounts , £ 2143 ; Windsor town improvements , £ 20 , 447 ; New Forest , £ 2585 . The total cash balances due to the commissioners by the several banks in the United Kingdom on the 30 th of March last was £ 171 , 306 11 s . 3 d .
Monkery in Sardinia . — The number of religious houses existing in the Sardinian dominions amounts to 483—that is , 384 in Piedmont , 253 male and 131 female ; and 99 in the island of Sardinia , 88 male and 11 female . Calculating the inmates of each at 20 , there are 6820 monks and 2840 nuns—that is , one monk for every 670 inhabitants , and one nun for every 1645 .
Health Of London During The Week. (From ...
HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK . ( From the Registrar-General ' s Report . ) The return for the week ending last Saturday shows that the deaths registered in the metropolitan districts amounted to 860 , a number which , though it indicates a ¦ light encrease of mortality on the previous week , when it was 839 , is still less than the weekly average to the extent of 125 deaths ; the average being derived from the deaths of ten corresponding weeks in 1840 9 , and raised in the ratio of encreased population . By means of a comparative statement of the 860 deaths , according to the different ages at which they occurred , it may again be shown , as in the preceeding week , that an improved state of health exists among the young , but that the middleaged part of the population begin to suffer more , while the aged die exactly at the average rate of mortality . It appears that there were : — r Average of Ten Last Week . correspondingWeeks ( 1840-0 ) . From birth to 16 years .. 347 .. . 445 15 to 60 years .. 333 .. .. 288 60 and upwards .. . 168 .. « . 16 S The aggregate result of zymotic or epidemic diseases is still favourable as compared with that of previous years , the deaths in this class having been 198 last week , while the corrected average is 256 . The decrease is observed Srincipally in small-pox and measles , 5 children having ted from the former and 16 from the latter ; 38 died of scarlatina , the average of which amounts to 57 , but it is ¦ welled chiefly by the unusual mortality of the same week in 1848 , when the deaths from scarlatina were 147 . Diarrhoea continues to decline , though the fatal cases are still rather more numerous than usual at this period of the year . Typhus maintains the encreased mortality which was observed in the last return ; the victims of fever number 54 . Last week four deaths were recorded from cholera . „ , ., The births of 7-18 boys and 751 girls , in all 1502 children , were registered in the week . ' ° Ton Weeks Week of 1839-19 . of 1850 .

Health Of London During The Week. (From ...
^ MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . Fkiday . The English funds have not displayed the same buoyancy this week as they did last . The first quotation on Monday was 97 £ to 971 , and at the latter figure some transactions took place . On the following day there was no material variation in prices . Consols opened at an advance of an eighth , but as the market was well supplied with stock , prices again receded to what they were on Monday . On Wednesday the same heaviness continued , and prices left off at
974-The announcement of the views of Russia and France , yesterday , regarding an intervention in the affairs of Schleswig-Ilolstein caused some agitation in the market , and Consols closed at a decline of three-eighths per cent , from the last prices of the previous day . In consequence of some large speculative sales , they had gone down to 97 , but they ultimately recovered a little , and left off at 97 £ . This morning there was a slight improvement , the opening price being 97 J . The variations of the week have been : —Consols , 97 to 97 |; Bank Stock , 210 to 212 ; Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents ., 98 * to 99 ; Exchequer Bills , 66 s . to 71 s . pm . In the foreign Stock Market the amount of business
done has been limited . Yesterday the market was rather depressed , and prices were generally quoted lower . The actual transactions comprised — Buenos Ayres , at 58 ; Chilian , 1021 ; Danish Five per Cents ., 99 $ and 101 ; Granada , 18 £ ; Greek , ex overdue coupons , 4 ; Mexican , for account , 31 $ and | ; Peruvian Active , foT money , 81 , 81 J , 80 J , and 8 I 4 ; the Deferred , 36 | , 36 , 35 £ , and 36 | ; Russian , 109 and 109 J ; the Four-and-a-Half per Cents ., 97 J , I , and J ; Spanish Five per Cents ., for account , I 84 and g ; Passive , 3 |; Venezuela Deferred , Uf ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents ., 57 f , § , and 58 j and the Four per Cent . Certificates , 89 , 884 , and 89 J .
Mark-lane , Friday , Oct . 25 . We have fair supplies of foreign Wheat and of Irish Oats this week , and small of other articles . The Wheat trade is firm at late rates . Barley is in better demand than last week , and quite as dear as on Monday . Oats are also pretty good sale at late rates . In Beans and Peas there is no change to note . The foreign advices report a tendency to decline in all the Northern markets ; the farmers in some parts were bringing forward more liberal supplies , and where this was not actually the case , it was expected soon to be so . There appears to be a fair quantity of Wheat and Sael Barley 011 passage to Hamburg , which , by this time , must be very near at hand . Arrivals from 23 rd to 25 th October : — English . Irish . Foreign . Flour . Wheat .. .. 2410 12530 1890 Barley .. .. 2590 120 Oats .. .... 880 10620 6630
