-iJflfcJuvTH op Lowdow Dtmnro the "Week . —The deaths rtiglatered in London , which in the previous week had 'been 915 , rose in that which ended last Saturday to , f 0 l 6 . ¦ In the corresponding 'weeks of the ten years jjJ ^ -54 , the average number was 1087 ; which , however , , xpinprises the mortality caused by the cholera epidemics , pf 1849 and 1854 , and would in normal conditions have AMD less than 1000 . That average , if raised by a tenth : MU ( b for increase of population , becomes 1196 . The total foSnber of deaths from diarrhoea last week -was 93 ; in ^ e former week it was 67 . Nine deaths were returned ' ¦ tifiladt week as caused by cliolera , including " cholera f fKfantum" and " choleraic diarrhoea . " Six of the cases
ifcrtarred amongst children leas than one year old ; the spat among adults twenty years of age and upwards , dlttthaugh two are reported as *• Asiatic cholera , " they yrmre probably only cases of the usual summer epidemic ; . tp < U . as the season is now comparatively late , i t is to be hoped that London will this year escape another visitation . In the corresponding week of 1849 there were ' 738 deaths from cholera , and in that of last year there % ere 138 . —From the Registrar- GeneraTs Weekly Return . ^ The Lord Mayor ' s Coach . —At a Court of Common Council on Monday , Sir John Key , the chamberlain ,
stated that he had been served with the copy of a writ at the suit of Alderman Sidney , on account of having refused payment of an order for 100 / ., until the alderman produced a receipt for 3 / . 10 s ., the amount of assessed tax due upon the City state carriage . An excited discussion ensued , the result of which was that it was referred to the Officers and Clerks Committee to consider thti course to be pursued . Mr- T . H . Hall then moved , MThat the City Solicitor be instructed to defend Sir John Key in the action . " Mr . H . L . Taylor seconded the motion , which was carried unanimously .
;; Ji New Nation ai . Gaixekt . —Government , we understand , is seriously engaged with a question o f a New National Gallery . Ministers feel that the present mode of exhibiting the national pictures—at Windsor , Hamp-$ m Court , the British Museum , the National Gallery , and Harlborough House—is eminently unsatisfactory . Plans ate before them for the consolidation of these galleries . — Athenaeum . Fjloods is Gixujcesiershire . — Unusually heavy descents of rain have flooded the neighbourhood of Gloucester , Cheltenham , and other parts of the county .
A great deal of land has been laid under water , the crops have been damaged , sewers have burst , and streets have presented the appearance of canals . The banks of the Chelt gave way , and the bridge over the stream was completely hidden by the rising of the waters . Walls and palings were carried off , the stream penetrated into the lower floors of the houses , and a large amount of property has been destroyed . Ho human lives have been fijat ; but several domestic animals were washed away . * fhe rains were accompanied l > y thunder and lightning . At Halifax similar floods have just taken place , and have caused the loss of two lives .
The Shipping Rkturns of the Board of Trade for the month ending the 30 th of June exhibit a decrease of arrivals , but a further increase in the clearances outward sufficient to demonstrate the continuance of a steady foreign trade . < . ' ¦ Accident on the Midland Railway . —The mixed goods train from Derby to Leeds , consisting of twenty-< ft > ft carriages , came into contact on Wednesday with Boine obstruction , which caused the third carriage to get off the rail . Seven covered vans and open waggons wtire smashed to atoms . Tho rails were torn up , and a great deal of property was destroyed ; but no loss of life ensued .
Dr . David Ddmiuikck writes to the Tunes to say ttfat the Sebastopol Committee has made in its Report a most erroneous deduction from hia evidence , in supposing that he meant to confirm the opinion that Dr . nail gave a false account of the state of the Barrack Hospital at Scutari in October last . Dr . Dumbreckwas tjoo ill at tho time to inquire into the condition of that establishment . The Poi . isu MKETrNO . —The meeting which was to
have been hold on Wednesday , in St . Martin ' s Hall , LoiDg-Acrc , with a view to urging the formation of a Polish Legion and tho restoration of Polish nationality , was postponed tine die on account of the sudden illness Of Sir De Lacy Evans , who was to have presided . Certain unworthy imputations having been cast against Sir Vta . Lacy , ho baa written to tho daily papers to disavow them , and to express his surprise that tho meeting was not held without him .
India and China . —Tho Inat advices from India and Oliina report nn utter stagnation of all news of importance . In India , public attention and indignation II Concentrated on tho Public Works Loan , concerning XHirieh there ia a good deal of mystery . At Canton , tb fr people are waiting for intelligence of the rebels , of # htch there is a lack . The rice famine has been relieved by importations . Tub Goodwood Racks took plnco on Wednortday , when Quince was tho loading horso , winning easily by a length . .. t ^ HUB Cnora and tmk Rain , —Tho crops , fortunately , have not as yot been » orlou » ly damaged by tho luto heavy rains , though they have boon laid in many places .
State of TKAi » B .-r-The commercial condition of the country exhibits further signs of that revival of confidence , if not of positive activity , which hastooken in upon ; the dead stagnation of the winter and spring . Without any very brilliant or extraordinary prosperity , the markets for the most part exhibit steadiness . The Birmingham iron districts , which some months ago , were lamentably distressed , are now in a very favourable condition ; and , although Manchester is quiet , and the present is the dull season at Nottingham , the Yorkshire woollen markets and the Irish linen trade have cause for congratulation .
ST . BAKTHOIX > BCEW-inBnE-GBEAT , SHXTHFIBZJ > . A meeting was held last week in the vestry-room of St . Bartholomew ' s to set on f oot a subscription for the restoration of the pariah church . This church , it appears , is the most ancient in London , having been built in the reign of Henry I . ; and consequently , being of the Norman architecture of that period , is unique in the metropolis . The rector , many vestrymen , and others interested in the object were present . A committee was unanimously appointed to raise subscriptions .

CORN MARKET . Mark Lane , Friday Evening-, August 8 , 1855 . The supplies of English and Foreign Wheat though moderate , aro Cully equal to the demand , and the little busiuess doing in "Wheat is at Is . under thp prices of Monday . It must be said , however , that holders are generally firm in declining to submit to any reduction . There has been next to nothing doing iu floating cargoes . A cargo of Galatz Wheat on passage lias been sold , at 70 s . cost , freight , and insurance . Tho demand for Maize does not continuo at the advanced prices demanded for it by holders . A cargo of American off tho coast has been sold at 39 s . Barley meets a very slow sale at former rates . There is again a fair supply of Oats in flue condition . Monday ' s rates aro supported , but it is probable that a decline of 6 d . muse be submitted to . No alteration in Beans or Peas .
