results following the abrogation of special patrician privileges which has stimulated our commercial prosperity , and led the wealthy , both of town and country , to co-operate with a cordiality never before witnessed in the promotion of objects calculated to perpetuate the general prosperity , and to alleviate the sufferings of the unfortunate among At the instigation of Mr . Elliot , a return has been laid before tho Court of Sewers of the number of cows kept in various sheds in the city . The result is somewhat astoundin" - and , indeed , alarming , seeing that in a densely crowded
mass of houses and people the emanations of animals , especially so large as cows , make a serious addition to the many other agents which poisoa the atmosphere . Even if the animals and sheds be kept clean ( a matter of great doubt ) , they are in all respects out of place in the heart of London . In the east district , including Aldgate and Bishopsgate , there are 65 ; in the west , including Bartholomew-close and Shoe-lane , 77 ; in the north middle , as Fore-street , Moor-lane , and Milton-street , 63 ; in the south middle , as Lambeth-hill and Old Change , 27 ; making a total of milk-manufacturing cows of 232 .

John Nash And John Done, Two Porters Of ...
John Nash and John Done , two porters of the Oxford , Worcester , and Wolverhampton Company , placed two trucks on the main line near the Worcester station , left them , and went home to supper . A mail train came down and ran into them ; fortunately no one was hurt . Tho men have been fined . An accident has happened in the yard of the Camdentown station of the London and North Western Railway . The points , opening the main line with the sidings , were wedged open by the pointsman , and left by him in charge
of another man , who in turn left them to do something else . The driver of an unattached engine thinking the down mail train had passed , as the points were open , attempted to cross . Just at this moment down came the mail , and the engine ran into it as it was passing , breaking the mail engine , grazing the passing carriages , knocking two off their wheels and overturning one . Happily no one was killed , but many had " nervous shocks . " The Marchioness of Anglesea , the Bishop of Lichfield , and Lady Blayney were in tho mail .

HEALTH OF LONDON DUBTNG THE WEEK . Is the week that ended , laqt Saturday 1072 deaths were registered in London , being nearly the same number as in the previous week . Ijj . the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1842-51 the ' a ^ erage number was 947 , which , if a correction is made for increase of population for the purpose of comparing it with the present feeturn , will become 1042 . The deaths of last week therefore do not much exceed the ordinary rate of mortality at this season of the year . The tables of the last two weeks show a close coincidence as regards the numbers who died in several periods of life ; the children who died in the two weeks were respectively 536 and 635 ; adults between 15 and 60 years were 355 and 348 , and persons who had attained the age of 60 years and upwards were 188 and 189 .
Fever has become more fatal in London , for the cases referred to the head of " typhus" rose from 54 in the preceding week to 62 in the last , and scarlatina from 73 . to 92 . The latter complaint has now reached a higher point than in any previous part of this year , and the amount of mortality is greater than in any corresponding week , except that of 1848 , when the number was 182 . Epidemic diseases in the aggregate are iiot , however , more than usually fatal , for only 5 deaths are assigned to small-pox and only 4 to measles . Diarrhoea also continues to decline , but an increase is visible in hooping-cough , which rose from 22 to 34 , and in bronchitis , which has also increased in the last two weeks from 76 to 92 . Last week the births of 796 boys and 771 girls , in all 1567 children , were registered in London . The average number in seven corresponding weeks of the years 1845-61 was 1376 .
At the Royal Observatory , Greenwich , the mean daily reading of the barofheter was above 30 in . on the first four days of the week , and the mean reading of tho week was 29-945 in . Tho mean temperature of the week was 49-9 deg ., which is 2 deg . above the average- Tho mean daily temperature rose to 55-9 deg . on Friday , which is 8 ' 6 deg . above tho average . The wind blew from the north at the beginning of the week , it then changed to south-wost , and except on Friday , when it was in the south-east , blew in this direction during the rest of tho week .

Satttbday, October 23 The Convocation Of...
Satttbday , October 23 The Convocation of the clergy of the province of C * terbury was yesterday duly prorogued by the Vi ^ General of the Archbishop of Canterbury until Pr"d F " November 5 , pursuant to the Eoyal writ . a ^* Upon this the Times remarks , that in conformit with her Majesty ' s mandate this will be the last pro rogation prior to the actual meeting of Convocation " which will take place on Friday , the 5 th of November ' " for the despatch of divers urgent business ; " on which occasion application is to be made to her Majesty fn her royal license that the assembling of Convocation may no longer be a matter of mere form , as i t has bee n during the last century and a half , but that the
proctors recently elected at the various archidiaconal meetings , and those officially eligible to sit , may consid er such matters and transact such business as in their opinion are necesnary to the welfare of the Church . It may be stated , that in order to enable Convocation to sit , the permission of the Crown , Premier , and Archbishopof theprovince must be obtained . It is pretty generally understood that the Earl of Derby is personally favourable to the claims of the " Revivalists , " but that the Archbishop of Canterbury is decidedly hostile to the resuscitation of those powers of which Convocation has been for so long a time past practically deprived . At the same time a rumour prevails in well informed circles that ,
her Majesty s views upon the matter are in accordance with the views of the Archbishop . In this case it will be impossible for either house of Convocation , on its meeting , to proceed with anything beyond the co nsideration of those formal matters to which its attention has hitherto been confined . After quoting the contradiction of the rumour from the Morning Herald , the Times says : — " We leave our contemporary ' s explanation of the rumour to the discrimination of our readers . If all intention of enacting what it justly describes as ' the absurdity has been abandoned , it has only been , in consequence of the remonstrances it has called forth . "

Mr . Dawson has published tho following letter : — Sie , —In the course of a recent tour on the continent T went to Dresden . On the morning after my arrival I sent my passport to the police—it was sent back to the hotel vise for Prague . In two hours time a police agent fetched it again . I was out all day , and , on my return to the hotel at night , I found a person waiting for me ; he introduced himself , calling nic by name , and asking if I did not come from Birmingham ? I answered , " Yes . " He then said that I should not be allowed to go to Prague , for I was a friend of M . Muzzini ' H , and a subscriber to funds " directed against the continent . " After some talk , in the course of which I told him I should require a formal refusal to allow mo to visit Prague , he left . The next morning , before I was up , two men entered my bedroom , demanding to search my biitrgiigt ' , and saying that if I declined to allow them 1 must get up and go with them . Preferring tho easier alternative , ^ ! lay in bed and watched tho hunt iimidnf , . shirts and boois —one letter was deemed dangerous , sind borne oil" to tho police oHicc .
