THE PUBLIC HEALTH . The returns for the last week from the metropolitan districts farnisli evidence of a steady , if not a rapid , improvement ia the public health . The deaths , which numbered 1532 in the previous week , declined to 1394 in that which ended last Saturday ; but the mortality still exceeds the average of former years by more than 300 deaths , and it is also greater than the mortality of the same week in 1849 , when the number had fallen to 1075 . Last week cholera was fatal in 249 cases , diarrhoea in
102 . The deaths from the former disease were registered in the two last weeks in the five divisions of London in the follomng proportions : —In the western districts 59 and ; 46 , in the northern 26 and 14 , in the central 31 and 24 , in the eastern 95 and 50 , and on the south side of the river 200 and 115 . In the second week of October , 1849 , the _ deaths reported as caused by choleia were ll ( h Scarlatina prevails to some extent in London , and the mortality from it exhibits a weekly increase .

miscellan ; tsous . "Wmr Mdlle . CutrvEtxj Ran Away . —Some glimmering of light begins to he thrown upon the causes of the sudden disappearance of Mdlle . Sophie Cruvelli . It is not true , as has been asserted , that she has taken to flight because her name did not appear on the bills en vedette ; neither is it true that she has sacrificed her lucrative engagement in Paris for a still more lucrative engagement in America . She has bolted for other and far more feminine reasons—for nothing less than an affair of the heart . It appears that at the same time -with Mdlle . Crav ^ Ui , and to all appearance at the same
mo-• ment , has also disappeared the young Baron Vigier , a well-known Parisian , and it is said that the happy couple are now safely ensconced in that terrestrial paradise-Brussels . The wonder is why they should have thought i it worth while to run away from Paris , that being the place which over-ardent lovers generally run to . The reason alleged is this : —The lady , who is as deeply enamoured as the gentleman , insisted that marriage should crown their mutual happiness ; and as the lover is a mere youth—considerably younger , indeed , than the lady—it appears that they have gone to Brussels for the purpose of making their union indissoluble . The young man has an immense fortune . —Globe .

P . backed up against ono of the posts in front of tho house before which Captain II . had drawn up his men . Thia was in Ivearny-streot , between Clay and Washington . " Fall into ranks 1 " cried tho captain . " I oould not entertain tho proposition to fail , " said Mr . P . ; " can't leave this post , sir . " " Pall into tho ranks !

P . remained immovable , Tho captain raised his sword in tho faco of the whole company , and in tho most solemn manner whirled it nround his head , pronouncing , " ono , two , " and at "threo" ho cut tho huge uniform-hat of P . in two , just gracing tho top of his hond .

At Sherburn , Sherburn-house , Littletown , the property of the Earl of Durham , and at Castle Eden Collieries , the hewers lately gave notice that they required th « large advance of 2 s . per score . To this demand the coal owners flatly refused to accede , but have since offered the men an advance of 8 d . the score . With this the i » en are not satisfied , and have struck .
Belgian Gossip . —The Independance Beige notices the revival in Paris of two rumours that have been current from time to time—the one that Lord Palmerston is coming here on a visit ; and the other that the English Ministry , by way of reciprocating the Emperor's freetrade measures , has resolved upon a very considerable reduction in the duties on French wines .

Leipzig , October 15 . The news of the first success of the Allied troops iri the Crimea was announced here at the time when the Leipzig . fair had brought together in this eity a great number of foreigners from almost all the countries of Europe . The news awakened all the sympathies which have been before so openly exhibited on all great occasions of the like nature . This unanimity of opinion which , is displayed in Germany in all shapes 3 is the most decisive judgment -which can be delivered as to the nature of the policy which dictates the warlike movements of France and Eqgland .

A NOVEMBER SESSION . Parliament has been "further prorogued '* to the 16 tli of November ,, but not for the despatch , of business . Why not for the despatch of business ? Already in this recess the Government , without any reference to Parliament ^ has arrived at important decisions , pregnant with historical consequences . Ere the 16 th of November still graver decisions in ay be required of our irresponsible Cabinet ; and before Christmas the country may be pledged to a policy revolutionising Europe—and in the wrong direction .
There has been a story , this week , originating in a Ministerial journal , that the Government had repented of its generosity to " neutrals , " in respect to Russian produce , and was about practically to blockade Prussian ports . No doubt the Government has ascertained that it "blundered in malting it the interest of Prussia , of Sweden , and of Denmark , to maintain a pro-Russian attitudo :
and no doxibt some change is contemplated to bring down the exchange in St . Petersburg . But can we bo considered a selfgoverning people , a people possessed of representative Government , while Downiugstreet ia settling for itself the maritime law of nations , and considering independently the propriety of outraging tho well-ascertained opinions of all the mercantile bodies in Great Britain ?
If there wcro no other reason why Parliament should soon meet—oven if there were a perfect agrcemont botweon her Majesty , her Majesty ' s Ministers , and her MajoBty ' Public , as to tho political sequences of tho campaign in the Crimea—this inducement might bo supplied : that a national inquest ia being domandod on tho conduct of several of our Admirala and Generals . It is common gossip —and it is a public accusation—that many who havo beon trusted havo been found
wanting . If the stories of neglect at Scutari are founded in fact , then there is murder on some official soul ; and who is to blame ? should bo a Parliamentary question . "Why
