Indian depredations are carried on with preat boldness in Texas and New Mexico , and an additional force of mounted men is recommended . One hundred Indians remain in Florida , and are a source of annoyance and danger to the whites in their vicinity , but great hopes are entertained that they soon will be induced to emigrate westward .

      Health Of London Du11ing The Week. (From...

      HEALTH OF LONDON DU 11 ING THE WEEK . ( From the Registrar-General ' s Report . ) The mortality of London , which in the last week of November declined to 8 G 1 deaths , and in the subsequent ¦ week rosp to 1004 , now exhibits a further encrease of considerable amount . The deaths registered in the week endin « last . Saturday were 1090 , a number which is greater than that of any corresponding week in the t ? n years 18100 , with four exceptions—namely ; in 1814 , when a week of unusually low temperature ( the mean not exceeding 2 S degrees ) was fatal to 1201 persons ; in 18-16 , when the deaths were 1103 , that week being also marked by low temperature ; in 1847 , when the deaths

      rose to 2416 , at that time influenza being epidemic ; and in 184 S , when they were 1130 , fever then prevailing to some extent , and cholera having appeared . Last week has carried off an unusul number of aged persons ( those of 00 years and upwards ) ; and the encrease over the previous return is principally caused by bronchitis and pneumonia , or inflammation of the lungs . In the last three weeks the encrease of bronchitis appears from the numbers returned as follows : 64 , 88 , 114 ; that of pneumonia is shown by 07 , 80 , 113 , whilst the mortality from phthisis in the same periods has been more uniform , namely , 00 , 113 , and 11 G deaths . The greater activity of small-pox lately has been noticed ; in the present return it numbers 24 fatal cases ( nearly the same as in the preceding ) , of which 4 occurred to persons above 20 years of . age . Lisson Grove , in Marylebone , is still distinguished by it . s ravages ; five additional rnsos ( all except one being described as " variola , natural " ) were registered in the week . With reference to a case in St . Clement Danes , the registrar remarks , that " the father of the deceased objects to vaccination , but can « flor no reason for his opinion ; " and repot is from other districts prove that the person here referred to is not singular in iiis prejudice , Other important epidemics are measles , which numbers 20 cases ; scarlatina , 20 ; hooping-cough , 42 ; croup 12 ; and typhus , 37 . From diarrhno . i , there were only 10 deaths ; two caused by cholera . In connection with various deaths from scarlatina and typhus , the registrars are cartful to mention luiisances to which the sunerers have been exposed . Ton \ Voek 3 Week of WM-i'J . of 1 * 50 .

Wheat barely maintains the rates current on Monday . Barley meets a-slow sale , and all but the finest qualities are a shade lower . The stock of Oats being exceedingly short , former prices are supported with great firmness , but no advance can be realized . The country markets held during the week have exhibited the same dulness as our own . Arrivals from Dec . 16 to 20 : — English . Irish . Foreign .
