The population was 6,612 800 in 1841. The deaths yi ary in this quarter Were 479; a number less by one thousand nine hun- -ed_and forty-eight than were registered in the ‘an the corrected average of the September aarters of 1838--46. Upon the whole there isa ight improvement in the health of the country. * The relative salmbrity of the summer season + fthe 10 years, 1838 to 1847, is displayed in the ; tdjoined table :— ] eae Deaths which would have ij dst | Ses Petbesehiehepitnece HG te Res tality had been uniform, a3g S38 { EEE andthe numbers had in- Bide Sree | 2338 36.3 28.2 | = 3 2 S528 £ = s55? — 1,580 49 - 1,883 — — 2.25 466 — - 2,673 = 1,385 - 4/088 9 698 = 49,479 42.42 7,007 - From the annexed table of the deaths returned iu each quarter since 1838, it will be seen that a small rise in the mortality took place in the spring afterthe mild winter of 1846; that a sud- den advance occurred in summer; that the mor- tality reached the maximum (56,105) in the win- ter of 1847, and has since slowly subsided.— Deatus Reoisteaxp IN THE FOUR QUART! or THE EIGHT YeaRs 1839-1847, aND THREE QUARTERS OF 1847, uN 117 or tHE pisrricts oF Exovany ann Waxes, uarlers ending eae Den, Total 1839 4d 37. 41,740 162711 3840 42.074 44, 186, 172,134 wl 39,133 292 161,450 1812 38 569 39,662 162,453 1813 40,943 42 667 163 651 wu 977 44 081 168,127 1815, 40 817 39,321 256 1846. 48,734 53,093 192,104 1817, 51,585 - = of the district of Lewisham and sub-district of Hampstead, is included in this table throughout. 3 f In London there has been no sign of improve- ment; 10987, 12,601, and 13,187 deaths were registered in the September quarters of 1845, _ 1846, and 1847. The deaths inthe summer quar- ters of the three years from small pox were 76, 51, and 320; measles, 688, 78, and 521; scarlati- nay 194, 203, and 316; diarrh@a, 449, 1549, and 1195; cholera, 26, 197, and 98; ei ak 43, 75, and 143; remittent fever, 8, 12, 23; typhus, 273, 403, and 895; erysipelas, 56, 92, and 126; the zy- uv tie class of diseases generally, 2409, 3234, and 4061. The deaths from diseases of the respira- torv organs were nearly stationary; 1558, 1784, and 1581 persons died of consumption; 1111,977, and 1071 persons of inflammatory and other dis- eases of the lungs. Two, three, and sixteen deaths were directly ascribed to various kinds of privation in the three last September quarters. ‘The increase in the deaths by external violence, which were 342, 403, and 425, may have arisen from erysipelas and other affections supervening en accidents in an unusual proportion. In the first nine weeks of the quarter, the mean t-mper ture of the atmosphere, and of the waters of the Thames, was above 60 deg.; the mortality in London from diarrhea, dysentery and cho- era, rose from 17 on the first to 188’ on the se- venth week of the quarter, and gradually fell to 107 on the last. week. Typhus raged with un- usual virulence, The weekly deaths were never below 50, and in the third week of September, 11 persons died of this disease. The weekly average was 30 for the same quarter of five pre- ceding years. - 2 x The epidemic of fever has been more fatal in Lancashire than in London. In Manchester, Salford, and Chorlton, 4,164 deaths were regis- tered from all causes. Diarrhea and fever were the prevalent diseases. Typhus carries off men and women in the prime of life. Diarrhea de- stroys more children, and becomes dangerous to adults in the form of cholera. Liverpool, created in haste by commerce; by men too intent on immediate gain; reared with- out any yery tender regard tor flesh or blood; and flourishing while her working population was foysing: tn cellars—hus been severely taught the lesson that a part of the population, whether in cellars or on distant shores, cannot suffer without involving the whole community in ea- lamity. In itseif one of the unhealthiest towns of the kingdom, Liverpool has for a year been the hospital and cemetery of Ireland. The deaths registered in the four quarters of 1846 were 1,934, 2,098, 2,946, and 2,785; in the three quariers of 1847, ending in September last, 3,068, 4,809, and 5,669! The population of Liverpool was 223,054 at the last census. It is impossible to represent more correctly than is done by the short notes of the registrars, the piteous spec- tacle which this great town presented; with the floating lazarettos on the Mersey, the work- houses crowded with destitute paupers, the toree large ‘‘ sheds which will hold 800 persons. nearly full of patients at the present time,” an the fever “getting more prevalent among the upper classes.” i ae rape ‘Lhe mortalty remains high in Birmingham, Dudley, Wolverhampton, Shrewsbury, in many of the towns of Lanchashire, in Leeds, Hull, York, and Sunderland. The returns trom the other towns of the kingdom preseat nothing un- usual, the pas Least | much the same as in previous years. ‘his refers to the relative mor- tality. The absolute mortality is always higher by trom 10 to 60 percent in towns, than in open country districts. ‘Lhis is illustrated by a com- parison of the deaths registered in London during the last 13 weeks, and of the deaths which would have happened if the rate of mor- tality had been the saine asin Dorsetshire, one of the egricultual counties, in which the wages are Jow, und in which the condition of the lu- borer is far from what it is desirable that it should O15 15—35 35-55 S5and All upwds. ages.

The mortal- ity 1s equal at the age 15-85, when London re- ceives healthy recruits from the various coun- ties. After the age of 36 the mortality is 45 per cent higner in London than in Dorsetshire. If the chance that a man above 35 will die in the balks during the summer quarter be represent- ed by , the chance thathe will die in London is nestly 3. It may be admitted, that part of the London population is poisoned by alcohol, and that in their houses and persons they are dirtier than the country people ; still the great excess of mortality, and in part, perhaps, the intemperance and impurity, must be ascribed to the crowding, the want of water, decaying animal ana vegeta- ble matters unremoved, and the inefficiency of the sewers, which neither carry off the solid, liquid, or gaseous mattere, poured into or gene- rated within them every day. If the chance of dying 18 increased from two in the country to three in London, the liability to suffer from epi- demics is raised still more, All the diseases of the zymotic class—such as small pox, measles, scarlatina, typhus, influenza, and cholera—nave the Fenvarkecle property of becoming epidemic. Alter certain intervals of titue, in which they are fatal toa smaller or Greater number of persons in different places and Seasons, great multitudes are suddenly attacked and destroyed in a given locality ; the disease in this intense iorm involves the nei, hboring popu- lation, spreads around the whole region, and sometimes travels over the tracks of human in- ercourse through the world. Little is known of the immediate chemical or vital causes of epidemics; put in given circumstancesgwhere many are immersed in an atmosphere ot decay- ing organic matter, some zymotic disease is in- variably produced ; where there is starvation, it is most frequently typhus ; cold, influenza ; heat, iti cholera, yellow lever plague. At the mouths of the Ganges, of the Nile, of the Niger; in London, particularly up to the 17th century; in fen in barracks, in ships, in prisons formerly; in Ireland, in Liverpool, in ait our towns now, the circumstances in which zymotic diseases become epidemic may be witnessed. A city breathing an atmosphere perfectly pure lnay not be exempt from ever epidemic ; but ob- servation has shown that tach irruptions are in- frequent, and fatal to few persons of strength or Stamina, Internal sanitary arrangements, and hot das \ntine or sanitary lines, are the safe- guards of nations. A salubrious city in an epi- demic, like a city built of stone in a conflagra- tion, is exposed to danger and injury, but not to the same extent as the present cities of Europe, which are Jeft without any adequate regulations for the health and security of their inhabitants, The. great historical epidemics have dimi- nished in yaneits and there appears to be no rearoa why they sho mated; pups preseed, with the adv, f thé i timong whieh they take thelr rise, Pheir orl: yrresponding quarter of 1846; but 7007 more | generally to i | ussia, cholera in In- It is in India that the source of the latter disease must be attacked. If the health of India become sound, Europe might be safe, and hear no more of the epidemic which is now traversing Russi The attention of the Indian authorities has for some time been directed to the subject.— The Marquess of Wellesley, in 1821, effected improvements in Bengal. Mr. Martio, one of the commissioners appointed by the late govern- ment to inquire into the health of towns, ad- dressed Lord Metcalfe, the governor-general, on the sanitary improvement of Calcutta in 1835; his comprehensive plans were ere by that eminent statesman. Lord Auckland appointed a sanitary commission, of which Sir John Grant was the chairman, and thus procured a very able official report on the health of Calcutta, before the subject was touched at home. ; The other nations of Europe are beginning to take an interest in public sanitary improvements, and say plans found to succeed in England will no doubt be carried out as speedily as possible in all parts of her majesty’s dominio: for the vast population that owns her sway is intimately united.

Prices have, throughout the week just closed, eon very unitorm, having varied but @ fraction from day to day, the difference being just sufficient to give the bulls and bears a chance to’ operate. Treasury motes closed firm at par, and it will be pretty difficult to get them much below that point, while there in every probability for a greatimprovement. The demand for them for investment, at the smallest fraction below par is such that prices soon recover. Much depends upon the future movements of the Treasury. Should there be scall fora very large amount cf money, and this amount of money be raised by an issue of treasury notes, similar to those now in existence, a temporary depreci- ation inthe market value, would be experienced, with- out affecting, in the slightest degree, the value asa per- manent investment Any extent indebtedness this govern- ment may create for the purpose of carrying on the war, will be small, compared with our resources. A debt of two hundred millions of dollars would be a trifling matter,com- pared with ourability to meet every engagement entered into, The debts we form are paidin full at maturity, prin- eipal and interest. Within the past thirty years we have created and liquidated several public debts, and within the next thirty years, we shall present the same results. We are unlike evcry government in Europe in this re- *pect,as wo are in many others, and notwithat anding the predictions of many to the contrary, we shall never fail to fulfl every pecuniary engagement entered into. Our States will soon occupy as prominent a position in ths flaancial world, as our general government ever has; nd the time is not far distant when Ametican securi- ties will be sought after by foreign capitalists, with as much avidity as exhibited years past. While the stocks of European governments are rapidly depreciating in real and nominal value, those of our general and State government; rapidly improving. The abuse which has been heaped upon us, will recoil upon the instiga- tors; the epithets applied to us, will soon apply to those who have been the most conspicuous utterers, and we shall change positions with those who have s0 gross- ly vilified us. Nearly every government in Europe is hepelessly bankrupt. With immense debts, immense taxes, and burdens of all kinds, weighing the people to the earth, there is not the most remote Probability of their debts ever being paid, and very little prospect of the in- terest on many of them being much longer promptly and } Pr fully paid. While they are progressing towards delin- quency, we are progressing towards permanent solven- cy, from which there will never be « fall, so long as we stand as @ republic. We are young and vigorous, with every element of wealth within our limits, with hardly tithe of our resources developed, with a limited popu- lation, compared with our immense extent of territory, at present§ deficient in capital, and hands to labor. We are in reality yet in our swaddling clothes, but full of Ife, full of health, and seizing every opportunity to give us strength and power; on the other hand, the govern- ments of Europe are old and infirm, diseased in every department of their administration, weighed down with debts, over populated, no new element of wealth at command, no resource undeveloped, weal imbecile and powerless, with famine staring millions in the face, fel of suffering and misery, rotten and corrupt, there is nothing in the future but fear and apprehen- sion. There is good ground for alarm in Europe, while here all is happiness. There is no more comparison be- tween this country and Europe, than between heaven andearth. This country is not only the refuge of the poor and oppressed of the old world, but it is the granary of the whole of Europe. We not only provide for the hourands annually thrown upon our shores, but we feed and clothe those that remain behind. In connection with this subject, it becomes necessary to state that a movement is going on that will place us in a more prominent and more favorable position than any previous finencial aet of our States has ever yet accomplished. We allude to the movement about being made to liquidate the repudiated debt of Missiseippi There are very few in this country who are not aware that the Mississippi Union Bank bonds were illegal, and that their issue was « direct violation of the constitu tion of that State. This, nearly every one in this coun- try knows; but in Europe they are grossly ignorant o this thing, as they are of nearly every thing connec ed with this country, and it is for the purpore of enlight ening the holders of those bonds upon this subject, and making arrangements for the ultimate liquidation of these illegal iseuee, that the mission to Europe has been undertaken. Col. Robins, of Vickaburgh, Micsissippi, will soon proceed to London and Amsterdam, upon this business, provided with euthority sufficient to give hie statements weight and influence with those interested on the other side. His position in the State he represents is such as to guaranty the fulfilment of any arrange- ment entered into, and the documents he takes out, are sufficient to dispel;all doubts relative to the illegality of the bonds issued, and the power of compelling the peo. ple of the State to acknowledge them. We feel con- fident the plan proposed will be completed, as it is the only one left for the holders of these bonda to realize one fraction from them. We learn that the train which arrived at Vera Cruz under the command of Colonel Harney, brought down six millions of dollars in specie, belonging to English account, This will scon find its way to London, and from London to New York.

The Demonstration of Sympathy with the Pope— The Councils of ‘War—Misstatements Cor- rected The Union ot Wednesday might contains an article strongly approbatory of the proceedings of the meeting in New York,to express the sym- pathy of the American people with the eflorts of Pope Pius IX. and the Italian people, for national independence. As there may still be a few peo- ple in this country, and in others, who, ignorant of the condition of things here, regard that jour- nal as the organ of the administration, reflecting its views and feelings and foreshadowing its designs and purposes, 1 will state that the arti- cle towhich I have alluded was wholly unau- thorized, and that the sentiments it contains are not the sentiments of the cabinent. The meeting is deservedly regarded here as a demonstration worthy of New York, and cre- ditable to those engaged ; but some of the pro- ceedings are conceived to be calculated to ope- rate most detrimentally to the Pope’s cause. The resolutions were admirable in spirit and diction —the address was admirable in spirit, but most indiscreet in its phraseology. letter contained a warning advice e thing that could at all embarrass the great Italian statesman in the cautious and masterly game in which he is engaged. That advice unfor- tunately did not avail, and things were uttered and written at the meeting which will give huge delight to the crafty heart of Mette: nick Mr. Dix’s letter was a prudent, di creet. and statesmanlike document, and it would have been well if all the communications read were entitled to like praise. Mr. Bucha- nan’s letter, though expressing warm sentiments in enthusiastic language, was remarkable for a skilful avoidance of anything that could aggre. vate the difficulty of the Pope’s position, It ij all very kind aad hutaaus, when one, sees @ ve~ nomous serpent coiled around a_ friend, to tell him how extremely desirous one is of going to his rescue, and to shone to him to be on his guard, and all that; but such conduct would be in the last degree unwise and inconsiderate, as by such means the danger is precipitated—not prevented. It is very patriotic and gratifying to our national pride to descant on the blessings of republican in- stitutions ; but let there be a whisper of a repub- lican confederation of Italian States breathed in connexion with the Pope’s efforts for the amelio- ration of his people, and Austria will at once car- ry fire and sword into the heart of Italy, Let this false light be once thrown up by the foes or the rash friends of Roman freedom, and the guns of the Austrian will strew the streets of Ferrara with the mangled bodies of her citizens. The mischief may be already unwittingly begun by the proceedings at the meeting in New York, and consummated by the injudicious and wholly un- authorized endorsement of the Union. _ As Ihave before said, the demonstration itself was unobjectionable, and a portion of its pro- ceedings entirely appropriate; but on the whole, it will be very fortunate if, instead of serving the excellent Pontiff, itdo not tend to his materi al injur i v The Mexican correspondence of the St. Louis Republican, now copied extensively, contains a nuinber of grave errors and misstatements, which I will notice in detail. ~ It is asserted that “Mr. Trist’s bi ring to wards General Scott, when he first reached Ja- Japa, was not approved by the President and Secretary of War;’’ and further, “‘that General Pillow was invested not only with the power of making peace between them, (Scott and Trist,) but bore directions to Mr. Trist to consult, im future, with General Scott, and with himeelf” (Genera! Pillow.) The difficulty between Gen. Scott and Mr. Trist occurred before the latter had reached Jalapa. On his arrival at Vera Cruz, he forwarded to General Scott, then at Jalapa, Mr. Buchanan’s letter to the Mexican Secretary of Foreign Affairs, with the instrue- tions of the Secretary of War fo him, (Scott) to send the letter under a flag of truce to the Mexi- can lines. General Scott, thereupon, wrote what Mr. Trist’s friends describe as a very in- sulting letter to that gentleman, peremptorily re- fusing to send in the letter. In consequence of the receipt of this reply, Mr. Trist, forebore to call upon the General-in-Chief on his arrrival at Jalapa,and from these causes sprung the coolness that for some time afterwards existed between them. Mr. Trist has never received instructions to covsult with General Scott, or with General Pillow, although a co-operation between the General-in-chief and the commissioner, was earnestly enjoined on both. The council of war’ at which was discussed the expediency of using the three millions, (which are still in the vaults of the treasury,) to bribe the Mexicans to appoint a commission to treat for peace, was never held. No such dis- cussion ever took place. The use of the three millions, or of any portion of it, for such a par- pose, has never been dreamed ot; by the the President or General Scott, or any other offi- cerof the government. It is simply impossible it could ever be applied to such a use, as the law ae the appropriation, provides that it shall be publicly accounted for, and this provision was inserted at the express instance of the President. Both parties in Oar ke preparing for cau- cus meetings, but in both will be found many unwilling to act with the main body. Ia t confusion, the bustle, the excitement that reign here, it is, above ali,apparent that no section | no- party is precisely aware of the position it is to occupy. The general outlines of policy are al- ready drawn, but the filling'up must be left until after the receipt of the President’s message, and The tenor of the accompanying documents. h n these has, Loweves, been already given in the Herald. GaLvienste. Wasninaton Crry, Dec. 4, 1847. The Oregon Territory—The Pacific Mail Line— ‘Ihe Report of the Secretary of War—The Post Office Department. : During the last session of Congress, a bill or- ganizing the territorial government of Oregon, was reported from the Committee on Territories, and passed the House very quietly and easily. With as much quiet and ease, it was given the go-by inthe Senate. To Mr. Calhoun, and his balance of power party, some persons are dispos- ed to attribute the non-action and want of favor to the Oregon people, as demonstrated in the Senate. Why is this? The title to the country bordering on the Pa- cific, and lying west of the Rocky Mountains, has been vested in the United States, within cer- tain limits, by solemn compact with Great Britain, at least, as far uorth as 49 deg., and was near going to $4 deg. 40 min. Firmness in our overment would have given us that limit. Will this government protect, foster and rule the peo- le of such territory, or shall they themselyes be permitted to organise a government? Will the United States consent to give up this distant and most valuable possession, and, permit the people to carry on their operations independent of the federal government! Oregon City con- tains a population of ten thousand souls. Day i , inhabitants are pouring in, and soen ae ee in eufficient numbers to demand, the constitution, admission as a State; meee: when Major Harris’ line of steam- ers from Panama to Astoria, shall get into operation, and one can go from New. York to the mouth of the Columbia, in twenty-five or thirty days, instead of from three to six months, iverland. or around the Cape. The contract ef Major Harris, (eon-in-law of General Armstrong) is with the Navy Department, and compels him to have three steamers, each of not less than one thousand tons burthen. The steamers are now in course of construction, and within one year will be on the Pacific coast, ready to co-operate with the line of Col. Sleo from New York, via Havana and New Orleans, to Charges. In these almost continuous lines of steamers, such capi- tulists as George Law, Mr. Aspinwall, (Howland & Aspinwall,) Griswold and others, have taken an interest, and in the enterprising character and business capacity of such men, we have the pro- mise of a complete and speedy fulfilment of the contract. One can then voyage from New York to the Columbia river, in thirty days, and for an amount of money not exceeding the price of a good mule.
