London.
The income of the London hospitals for the year 1891 has declined £150,000, as compared with previous years, a fact which is attributed to the large amount of subscriptions received by General Booth in aid of the Salvation Army funds. A heavy black fog has been hanging over the City for the past three days, and in that space of time 20 deaths have occurred from drowning and other accidents. The election for the Waterford seat in the House of Commons took place on Saturday Mr' John Redmond defeated Mr Michael Davitt by nearly 500 votes. The Northumberland miners have by four to one voted against boys working eight hours instead of ten. Owing to the fog, traffic on the Thames is suspended. Four hundred bales of New Zealand hemp were sold at a slight advance on last rates. New Zealand longberried wheat, restricted business at 45s 3d. For off coast cargoes sellers ask 42s 9d, but buyers will not give more than 42s 3d. Canterbury frozen mutton, 4#d per lb ; hindquarters, 3d.
