HEitTH OF LOXDOX DuRIXG TJTC "WEEK . —In tllC week ending last Saturday , we learn from the ¦ Reg istrar General ' s Weekl y Report , tbe deaths registered in the metropolitan districts were 693 ; a number wMek shows an excess of 5 G on the return of the previous week , but a reduction of 209 on the corrected average of five autumns . If the present return be compared roth that made in the same week of each of the years 1840 8 , it will be found that , with but one exception ( in 1841 , when the deaths were 841 , ) the mortality ranged formerly from 010 to 1 , 165 , and therefore was considerably higher than in last week , though the population in those years was less . The increase of 5 G now observed on the week ending November 3 , partly ^^^^^^^^"""^^~

The total number of deaths from cholera in the week was only 6 ( 5 less than in the previous week ;) in the same w eek of 1 S 48 there were C 2 . The steady decline of diarrhoea and dysentery is shown by the numbers of the last five weeks , which , were respectively 105 , 63 , 51 , 40 , and 2 ( 5 . A boy died of diarrhcea- in Peterboroughrow , Fulham , whose father had been carried off by cholera in September ; a boy of the same disease at "Brndenell-place , Sew "North-road , from an unwholesome condition of the house ; and a girl at llaidstone-place , in the house in which a death from

      cholera , reported in the former week , occurred , and in a locality then described as " low and illdrained .

A small window scarce gives light or ventilation , and ** tlie walls ( says the Registrar ) are so damp that you might brush the water from them . " The mean daily reading of the barometer was above 30 inches on the last three days of , the week . The mean of the week was 26 732 . The temperature on the last three days was considerably higher than the average oi the same days in seven years . The mean of the week wasoO 2 deg ., which is higher than the average I » r 41 deff .

      The Coxtict Jordax . — On Saturday , Sarah Prances Ewins , the intended Tictim of Alfred Jordan , whose sentence of death has been commuted into transportation for life , waited on the sitting magistrate , the Hon . G . C . Xorton , at the Lambeth Police Court , with a petition from her grandmother for relief , the latter being an old ¦ woman , and unable to support her granddaughter . The young woman , whom the magistrate pronounced a " living wonder , " stated that she had teen discharged from Guy ' s Hospital , and , beino ¦ without father , mother , or other friends to assist Lcr , she returned to her grandmother , who had always been -very kind to her , but the poor woman Laving nothing to depend on but her exertions as a charwoman , and being sixty-six years of age , was wholly unable to maintain her in her present state

      and therefore it was that she sought some relief to enable her to get over her confinement . She also said that an intimation had been made to her , by a Mr . Harris , a . medical gentlemen , in the first instance , that Jordan wished to see her for the purpose of obtaining her forgiveness for his attempt upon her life ; and in consequence of this , and Jordan ' s mother calling on her , she went to Eorsemonge-lane , and expressed a wish to tho Rer air . Koe , the chaplain , to sign a petition for the commutation of his sentence . The rev . gentleman accordingly prepared a petition , setting forth , tbe youth of the culprit , aud her ( the prosecutrix ' s ) signature and forgiveness , as the principal ground for the commutation of his sentence ; and this , after receiving other signatures , was forwarded to the Secretary of State . The result was that a reprieve was received at the gaol on Tuesday last .

      Z % t proiunccfl . - Stabbixo a Custom-House OrricER . —At the null Police-court , last week , a man named Peter Oassidy , one of the hawkers who infest the dock sides upon pretence of selling knives and other articles to the foreign sailors , but really for the purpose of contraband , was remanded on a charge of having stabbed ltobert Postill , one of the Customs ' patrols , who , it ^ was stated , was confined to his bed in consequence of the serious nature of the wound . It appears that the prisoner is a convicted smuggler , and was coming from a vessel , of which the officer had the charge , on the north side of the Old

      Dock . On seeing the offlfcer he assumed drunkenness , and commenced screaming that some one on board the vessel had stolen his goods . The officer , however , who it appears knew him , was not to be thrown off his guard , and demanded if he had any foreign goods in his possession , when Cassidy made a stab at the officer , and inflicted a wound about four inches in length above the hips . A scuttle ensued , and another Custom-house officer and a policeman coming up , Cassidy was taken into custody . The officer who suffered much from loss of blood , was taken home in a cab , and attended by Mr . Dosser , the surgeon to the police-force ; who stated his inability to attend to give evidence . The prisoner was remanded .

      Fike ix St . Michael ' s Cntmcn , Cambridge . —On Sunday morning , shortly before the commencement of service , an alarm was g iven that the roof of St . Michael's Church , Cambridge , was on fire . In a few minutes afterwards the flames broke through the slates , and raged with great fury until twelve o ' clock , and then fears were entertained for the safety of the organ , which stands at the west end . The west window was consequently broken into , and the case of the organ being broken open , the pipes were conveyed to * a place of safety in Caius College , immediately opposite . By one o ' clock all danger of the extension of the fire was over , and shortly afterwards it was thoroughly got under . The roof of the church , -which tlie fire has revealed to have been of fine old oak , although it was plastered over inside , is . totally destroyed , but the old catholic

      stalls , the fine foliated arches , and sedilia in the south aisle have escaped injury , as well as the handsome altar screen . The ' organ is damaged by wet and the removal of the pipes . The fire seems to have been caused by the negligence of a man who has lately been repairing the stoves and flues , and who left one of the latter , on the south side , in an unfinished state ; this was covered at the outside vent with slates , so that the smoke and heat found their way between the roof , andbencc the calamity . The damage has not yet been estimated , but part of the loss , which willnotfall far short of £ 1 , 000 will fall upon'Trinity College , the society of which present to the living . The mayor ( Mr . H . S . Forstcr , ) with others of the borough magistrates , were on . the spot , and rendered efficient service by the maintenance of order .

      The Floods ix Cumberland . —On the 7 th inst ., when the early train from Ravenglass arrived at tlie Seascalc station , information was received that the temporary viaduct over the river Calder had been so much damaged by the heavy and almost unprecedented flood on the previous night as to he unfit for the passage of the train . The engine was then detached from the carriages , and proceeded to the banks of the river , when it was discovered that the water , bv washing over the masonry of the newlycommenced stone bridge , a little above , and intended to replace the temporary viaduct , had so loosened and displaced the gravel in the bed of tlie river , at the foot of the piling , that several of the

      piles were thrown out of the perpendicular , and the whole fabric was much injured . The circumstance was immediately reported to both termini of the railway ; and , as tho bridge still continues secure for foot passengers , the trains were run by an engine from "Whiteliaven , meeting the one from Ilavonglass , and vki vena , as they have ever since continued to do . In tlie course of the day , however , in consequence of the continuance of the heavy rain , the bridge became insecure even for foot-passengers , and a communication had to be established by means of a foot-bridge for passengers , and a cart for the conveyance of light goods across the river . A substantial foot-bridge , three feet in breadth , aud well secured , has since been constructed .

As the carcases of tlie sheep were left in the field , there can be no doubt the outrage was committed to

      gratify some malicious feeling . The rams were ot a valuable description , and were much prized by tlie owner , who had been a well-known breeder for many years . Mr . Clarke is a gentleman who is much respected ; he has always been good to the poor by employing groat numbers of workmen , and his hospitality to his neighbours has gained for him a good word amongst all who know him . £ 00 reward has been offered for the apprehension of the offenders , by the Rev . n . W . Sibthorp , by Mv . Clarke , and by the Association for the Prosecution of Felons .

"We can scarcely doubt , however , that the Gran'l Lodge will publish an authentic account of the communications between the Irish Government and Orangemen ; for , in truth , the omission to do so would be a stupid and fatal error , incalculably damaging to the Orange Institution , and equally serviceable to the Irish Government .

Fanell , we learned that a sum of £ 1 , 600 had been recently expended on it by the previous occupnnt , in buildings , drainage , and other

      permanent improvements . The farm lies on the high road to Dunshaughlin , within nine miles of Dublin , and was considered of such value a few years ago , that a sum of £ 1 , 000 was given byway of mortgage on it , and it affords a speaking commentary on the depreciation of land in this country . "—Asasst-off to such statements as the foregoing , the rent-reduction movement is rapidly extending over the country . In a Derry paper which arrived on M onday mornin < , there is a long catalogue of landlords , the majority being Ulster proprietors , who have made liberal abatements to their tenants , besides forgiving large

      arrears of rents . Mreting op the Inisii Prelates , —The organ of the Roman Catholic Bishops ( the Freeman ) has the following announcement : — " lhe Catholic Prelates , not having . made the necessary arrangements for holding their recent meeting sjnndically , and anxious to carry into effect the several provisions of the late Papal Rescripts , which recommend that all the future meetings of the bishops shall be conducted in the manner prescribed by the canons ; it wasuneniuiousli' agreed—" That the consideration of all the subjects submitted to the present meeting be adjourned to the National Synod , to be held on Tuesday after the summer meeting of the board of the College of Maynooth , and that the prelimin » ries of the Synod be arranged and agreed to by the ArchbishopS ) who will communicate tho same to their respective suffragans . "

      Mr . Bright ' s Speech on Ireland . —Mr . John O'Connell has addressed , through the Freeman's Journal , a long letter to Me . Bri ^ fct , announcing ft vote of thanks from the Repeal Association for his speech at Manchester , on the condition of this country . In a postcript Mr . O'Connell states , that the Repeal Associ ation intend to print and circulate the speech in England , and , " as soon as possible , to forward the project of a mission from this country to corroborate and enforce its truths on the minds ot your fellow-coutrymen . "

      The Poor Law Difficulty . —In some of the south-western unions , even more than those of the west , the monster of pauperism has become a difficulty so formidable * that it seems quite hopeless to grapple with it by merely local resources . The union of Kilrush , county of Clare , so notorious for its wholesale evictions during the famine , occupies the most prominent place . At the first meeting of the elected Bourd of Giiardians , Captain Kennedy ( whose reports of the operation of the clearance system produced such a sensation in the House of Commons , ) explained the financial state of the union , and told the guardians there was no use in blinking the question , for they had a formidable task before them , which could not be performed without energy and industry . Although the most rigid economy had been practised by the vice-guardians , and although the government had assisted the union to the extent

      of upwards of £ 15 , 000 since March last , their present liabilties were about £ 15 , 000 , whilst the amount of rates outstanding , struck in March last , was £ 4 , 500 . The rate of poundsge that would be required from each division for the year showed that those districts where evictions have been most numerous , were charged with an OTerwhelming amount of pauperism .. The poundage rate for Kilrush division would be 19 s . 5 d . ; for Knock ' , 20 s . ; Kilofin , 27 s . ; Kildysart , l ? s . ; Kilmichael , 32 s . ; Killard ( where clearances had been very numerous , ) 40 s . ; Moyarta , 3 Ts . ; Kilkee , 32 s . this is tbe estimate of rates that would be necessary to meet debts and current expenditure ; but it is understood that comparatively small ratoi will , for the present , be demanded . As the credit of the union was stopped , an arrangement was made to obtain from the treasurer an advance of H 300 for the supply of the week ' s provisions , on the credit of the mtus in progress of collodion .

      The Newcastle union is also in a condition of great embarrassment , the amount required to pay cxisuii' . ; debts , and to support the poor to the 25 th of March " . 1850 , being £ 28 , 050 . However , the new board of guardians , on account of the distressed state of the union , have not struck a higher rate than 6 s . in tlie pound on any division , whilst in some divisions the rate varies from 5 s . Sd . to 3 s . 5 d . in the pound , the utmost amount , in all probability , that could possibly be levied . The Queen ' s Colleges . —It appears from a

      statement m tho Banner of Ulster , that the number of students at the opening in Cork was thirty-nine . ; in Galway , nineteen ; and in Belfast , one hundred and eight . That journal remarks— " AVe believe we state a fret which cannot bo questioned when we say that , in the'Belfast College , the students who have already entevccl represent nearly all , if not all , the religious denominations in this community . " The ilev . Dr . Murphy , chaplain to the Lord Bishop of Down and Connor , has been appointed Dean of Residences , on behalf of tho Established Church , in Belfast College .

      Winr , Association . — Mr . John O'Cornell ' s select few mustered in still thinner numbers to listen to tho throe hours' strain of eloquence , the value of the weekly penny ' s subscription measured out every "Monday by tlio " lender . " There was a considerable fall in tho funds , the rent havin » dwindled from £ 30 to £ 19 5 s . The Links Trade . —The Armagh Guardian says : — "It gives us p leasure to report a decided improvement in this important branch of manufacturing industry in Ulster . In this locality the change for tho better is very gratifying . "Weavers , who could barely earn 3 s . a-weok some four months ago , are at present in full employment , and earning Os . weekly . Generally speaking , the business is brisker HOW than it has boon for the last ten years . "

      Attkmpx to Muhdrh as Agent . —The Tipperaru Vindicator states , that on Saturday evening an attempt ( the second ) was made to assassinate Mr . Francis Kiernan , agent over the property of the Messrs . Scott , of Loughorna . Mr . Kiernan was sitting at his fire with some friends , when tho shot was fired in through the window of the room . Most providentially a sack of oats had been removed near the window a short time before , which intercepted the ball and saved Mr . Kievnan's life . A considerable reward has been offered for the apprehension of the offenders . Tho bailiff who had been wounded in August last on tho lands of Lou « horna and who had been under the treatment of Dr . Kitson ' returned to Borrisokanc on Saturday convalescent lie is lamed for the remainder of his life

      CITY OP CORK ELECTION . The nomination took place on Saturday , when Colonel Chattel-ton ( Protectionist , ) and Mr Alex M'Carthy ( an advocate of free trade , reduction of rents , and tenant security ) wore proposed The Cork Reporter says , that " amongst nearly every section of the electors a most singular apathy seems to prevail as to tbe result of the present contest-a fact peculiarly evidenced by the absence of excitement at tho hustings . " Colonel Ciiatteuion , in his speech to tho electors attributed a 1 tho miseries of the country to the poor law and free trade . The gallant officer said "I have stated in my address that tho whole ran « o of the poor laws requires immediate and anxious consideration ; and I will ask any one of yoti if any doubt can ansc m your minds of the- nonoiih , L " .

( Hear , hear ) I have also pledged myself to endeavour to restore protection .

      which have been showered upon us , when unjust laws prevent us from receiving benefit from them ?

" ) To my mind a greater delusion never presented itself to men ' s eyes than the expectation , if even it were good , that it was possible to obtain the restoration of those laws which gave a monopoly to one man . ( Hear . ) And those gentlemen who now advocate it are , in my opinion , undoubtedly endeavouring to divert the attention of the occupiers of the soil in

      Ireland from that which is , . at present , their real grievance—and which , unless it be speedily redressed , will sink them into the very lowest servitude . ( Loud cries of hear and cheering . ) It is not protection—but , it is the reduction of the vents that is absolutely necessary . ( Enthusiastic cheering . ) I am a landlord . ( Hear , hear . ) By for the greater portion of my property is in land . I am as deeply interested as any one in the prosperity of the occupiers and owners of the soil of this country , but I tell the landlords here to-day , there is no salvation for them or for tho country , except in the reduction of tho rents , and giving security to the tenants of the soil , and securing to them " compensation for their outlay of capital which they may

      have expended on its improvement . ( Hear , heav , and cheers . ) Secure that to the tenant , and you will see him going to work heart and hand . ( Cries of " Hear , hear , " and " That ' s true . " ) You will seo produced upon that which is now sterile , barren , and uncultivated , rich and abundant crops , which would enable him to compete with any foreign country . ( Loud and continued cheering . ) Will you secure to your people abundance ot homo corn food ? ( Hear , hoar , hear . ) You will not have the people to depend upon a root which seems doomed to complete destruction . ( Cheers . ) You will have thorn corn-fed people—well-clothed , and not disgracing the very face of the earth , by that ragged , wretched app earance which has made thorn

      almost not men . ( Loud cheers . ) It is mere nonsense to cry for Protection . But there is one question which , on this occasion , has been studiously avoided . ( Cries of " The church .

( Enthusiastic cheerin » and cries , of " That ' s the point . ") A numerous population , containing several millions—providin " for their own religious wants by their spontaneous contributions-erecting their own ehurches-contnbuting everything that is necessary for the decent and peaceable exercise of their religious services—and yet , in that same country , a church of soirit few hundred persons of the population is in

( Cries of "Oh , oh . " ) That is such a state of things as is not to be fuund in anv other country . It would not be borne with ; and and the only ground upon which it is sought to be continued or justified in this country is simply because they w-ero Irishmen . ( Hoar , hear , and cheering , ) There novor has boon advanced a sinde argument for the upholding of that establishment , except this simple one—that it is a burden , bnt a burden on Irishmen . ( Loud cheering . ) Neither of the two candidates nor their proposers appear to have made any allusion whatever to tlio repeal ot the union or the " national agitation . "

      Mr . J . F . Mag lure , proprietor of the Cork Examiner , and tbe opponent of Mr .
