      The Sandwich Islands.—The Census Of Thes...

      The Sandwich Islands . —The census of these islands Sublished in November seems to indicate the speedy estruction of the native population . It appears that out of a total population of 80 , 641 souls there ^ as an excess of deaths over births of 6465 souls , which gives a rate of mortality exceeding 8 per cent , per annum . At this rate of annual decrease the whole Hawaiian population , in 1860 , would dwindle down to 32 224 ; m the Tear 1870 it would be reduced to 14 , 073 ; in 1880 , to 6134-in 1890 , to 2667 ; in 1900 , to 1162 ; in 1910 , to 494 ; ' in 1920 , to 207 ; in 1930 , to 92 ; in 1940 , to 37 ; and in the vear 1950 , to 20 . _ returof the amount

      Dockyards . A Parliamentary n of money expended in our dockyards , at home and abroad , since the year 1828 , has been printed . The smallest amount during these 21 years was , in the year 1833-34 , when it was £ 505 , 850 . The largest amount was in 1847-48 , when it reached £ 1 , 470 , 062 . Last year it was £ 1 , 399 , 014 . The Window-Duty . — Tne total number of houses charged to the window-duty in England and Wales in 1849 was 450 , 183 , and the amount of duty assessed ( including the extra ten per cent . ) amounted to £ 1 , 786 , 439 . The net duty received was £ 1 , 680 , 531 . In Scotland , the number of " houses charged was 35 , 587 , and the duty amounted to £ 137 , 075 . There were on the 5 th of April ,

      Health Of London During The Week. (From ...

      HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK . ( From the Registrar-General's Returns . ) In the week ending last Saturday , the deaths in the metropolitan districts numbered only 829 : a result which , if compared with the returns of corresponding weeks in ten previous yrars , is less than in any week except those of 1841 and 1842 . It is sufficiently worthy of remark that consumption has recently carried off weekly much less than the usual number of its victims ; last week the deaths from it were only 102 , though in the corresponding weeks of ten previous years they ranged from 121 to

      168 , and the corrected average is 157 . The death of a child , aged five months , who was suffocated by impure air , occurred at No . 7 , Hayward's-place , in St . James ' s , Clerkemvell : he was found dead in bed . His father was a jewel case maker . The mean temperature of the week was only 45 . 5 deg . Taking , for comparison , the ten corresponding weeks of 1840-9 , there is no instance in which the mean temperature was equally low ; for it ranged in these weeks from 47 . 4 deg . to 55 . 8 deg ., the mean having been 52 . 0 deg . Except on Friday and Saturday , the wind blew from the north and north-east .

      Money Market And City Intelligence. Flil...

      MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . FlilDAY , There has been little or no variation in the market for Public Securities so far this week . The business of the week in the home funds opened favourably , and Consols on Monday experienced an advance of £ per cent , during a short period , but closed at the prices which had prevailed before , and at which they have been almost stationary ever since . There has not been much business transacted , ami the general tone of the market has been dull , notwithstanding that on Monday and Tuesday considerable sales of stock were made under arrangements for the account d . iy , which was yesterday . No difficulty was experienced in effecting

      the settlement , stock being plentiful with the jobbers ; and it caused a trifling improvement in the vnlue of the funds , in the early part of the day , which , however , was not maintained . This is the more remarkable , since it is understood that a consi erable amount of . stock has been in course of purchase this week on foreign accounts , occasioned , it is said , by the state of insecurity in which the wealthier classes of a neighbouring country have felt themselves placed by recent political occurrences . The prevailing prices of the week have been , Consols , Q 5 & j | for money , and 951 90 for the Juno accounts ; Three per Cents . Reduced , 94 J -I ; Three and a Quarter per Cents ., 90 $ 97 ; Bank Stock , 100 to 107 ; India ditto , 2 ( 50 to 267 ; India Bonds , 90 to 5 ) 2 prom . ; Exchequer Bills , ( 58 to 71 prern .

      lhcre has been nothing worthy of note in Foreign Securitios . Upon the whole the dealings have been limited , and no material change has taken place in prices , if wo except , perhaps , the Spanish Three per Cents ., which improved slightly yesterday upon receipt of the news of diplomatic intercourse having at last been actually resumed between Groat Britain and Spain . The prices have not vaiiccl much from those of last week , except to a trifling oxtcnt in Spanish and Equndor Bonds . A little change has occurred in the comparative prices of gold in England and on the Continent . The premium on gold in Paris has been 174 V «* r mille , being an advance of about li per mille , which represents it 0 . 0 ( 5 per cent , dearer there than in London . In ll . nnburg , the exchange on London being at . about 13 . II , shows gold to be 0 . 21 ) per cent , dearer than in London .

      Some slight , fluctuations have occurred on several of the Continental Umiis-s . At AmMerd . un there has been consul . Table firmness . At Frankfort , the market has been advancing . At Hcrlin it lias l >< en steady , but , if anything , looking upwards . At Vienna it has given

      way , though to no material extent . The political excitement in the French capital has not , however , had much , influence on neighbouring states . Considerable depression has been felt in the Railway Share Market nearly all the week . There has been an exception in Great Westerns and South Westerns , which have improved , the former £ 2 , and the latter £ 1 per share . London and North Westerns also slightly advanced yesterday . The other lines remain much as before ; or , if any change has taken place , it is not for the better . The corn market has decidedly improved . An advance of fully 2 s . per quarter on wheat took place in most of the country markets on Saturday , which caused a corresponding improvement in Mark-lane on Monday . This is attributed to the want of that genial warmth all over the country which the crops are now beginning to require . Similar weather to that which has prevailed here has been experienced on the Continent , and is having the effect of keeping back shipments of corn . The foreign produce market has been very inactive , partaking almost of a retail character . The prices of Sugar , however , have remained steady , though without improvement ; and almost the same may be said of coffee and other colonial produce . In the manufacturing districts the slight advance in cotton yarns and fabrics noticed last week has been fully maintained , though it does not much more than cover the increased cost of the raw material . A few purchases have this week been made on the advanced ratio for the Continental market ; but home buyers appear unwilling to give them . In the Yorkshire woollen markets there is more activity , though prices do not improve .
