FEBRUARY 21. Bum his observatory at Somerset-house the Reourraaa Gintenal has just issued his periodical Report on the Health of the Metropolis during the pest year. Week by week, with rigid exact ness he informs us of the state of our hygienic barometer, and when it points to "stormy,". or even to "change," the quarter whence the unfavourable influence originates is indicated in conjunction with timely monitions as to the necessary measures for removing what is amiss assoag mi. At the end of every twelvemonths, like a prudent merchant, he takes stock, strikes hie balance, and publicly declares the amount of profit and loan by the trade of the year. On this occasion his account is more than ordinarily interesting, for by the aid of his ready staff of observers,. and with the co-operation of the Regis tries-General of Scotland end Ireland, be has obtained a weekly record of the state of some of the chief towns and cities of the United Kingdom, and thus we are enabled to see how we who dwell within the limits of "the modern Babylon "stand in comparison as to healthfulness with other town populations. Some two centuries ago it was estimated that, according to the rate of increase then prevailing, by the year 1840 the inhabitants of England and Wales would probably amount to 10,900,000, out of whom 10,700,000 would be lasted in London, leaving only 200,000 as the residue to be distri buted over the country. The citizens were in creasing and multiplying so fast as to make it appear to the observer in those days that unless the relative growth of the City were checked by the year 1800 there would be nobody left to do the necessary tillage and other rural works, and the whole machine would come to a dead lock. The statist of that period must have overlooked 4 few considerations which, as things have turned out, were important elements in the calculation ; for the population of the entire country, which he reckoned would only double itself in 360 years, or thereabouts, has during the last century become quadrupled, whilst London singu larly enough takes now pretty nearly the exact number of years to double its population which were assigned in 1683, namely, 40 years. These were no signs two hundred years ago of any rival cities, such as Liverpool, Manchester, and Bir mingham, with their swarms of inhabitants in creasing yearly at a rate equal, and even in ad vance of the growth of the metropolis ; and therefore the tendency to aggregation was consi dered solely with reference to the only city which waist that time thought of. It is unquestionable that this tendency, as already developed, and the extent to which it will proceed in future, is a matter which perplexes many now, just as it formerly troubled the mind of Sir Wrtasam Perry ; it is one of the many social problems awaiting solution. The population of London within the registration limits was by estimate 2,993,513 in the middle of last year, and increased al the rate of 1.73 per cent. per annum. But outside this central mass is a ring formed by the boundary of the metropolitan police district which contains 470,000 persons, so that the ag gregate population within that circle is about 3} millions. It is on the area lying nearest to the cir cumference that the increase proceeds most rapidly. As we get farther from the centre, a purer atmosphere and a more healthy condition of life have an immense influence, and the rate of increase which, as we have seen, was but 1.73 per cent. springs up to nearly 3 per cent. A com parison of the rates of mortality yields the grati fying assurance that London is with one exception the most salubrious city in the United Kingdom, albeit its death-rate was higher in the last two years than it has been on an average of 26 years. The only continental city for which the RZOISTHAR-GENZBAL has been able to obtain the information necessary for a comparison is Vienna, where 32 deaths occurred to every thousand persons living during last year, whilst in London the mortality was 24 per 1,000, in Bristol 24, in Birmingham 25, in Dublin 26, in Hull 27, in Edinburgh 28, in Salford 29, in Leeds 31, in Manchester and Glasgow 33, and in Liverpool 36. The attention of foreign govern ments is called to the results of English experi ence of the benefit of full publicity in all matters where secrecy or indefinite appre hension is liable to cause a feeling of alarm ; and the cholera panic last year in Paris, Marseilles, and Naples, is cited as evidence of the wisdom of leaving nothing to conjecture. With judicial impartiality we also are reminded that the alarm which undoubtedly exists amongst as important section of the community regarding the ravages of the cattle disease is "an exact re "production of the oontinental panic ;" and it is quite certain that this alarm is due altogether to the absence of those statistics which alone could show the excess of the mortality amongst cattle which is attributable to the prevailing disease. The want of knowledge of the laws which govern epizootic is leading our legislators into all sorts of difficulty, and it is to be hoped that one good at least will result from our present trouble, in the establishment of a comprehensive system of agri cultural dandies. lie particular disease was spookily fetid in t ways aoesiertgoabilil about 111100 NP Ift lb Pao ° a 4.21008 frie London last year. There was one time that cholera was unwelcome visits ; but hai whether to return this yeat er We have been forewarned ; and hte not armed, so surely as effect follows cause, the punishment will fall on those who neglect the ne cessary precautions against attack. The diseases of the zymotic clan were fewer than in the pre vious year; scarlatina and typhus also declined, but the deaths from the latter cause (3,232) prove that there is much yet to be done by the health officers in their respective districts. The violent deaths are increasing annually, under each of the three categories of accident or negligence, homi cide, and suicide ; the number of persons killed by carriage accidents in the streets of London during ' the year was 232, but as the majority of these deaths are registered in the various hospitals, no clue is given to those localities where the greatest number of accidents occur; nor have we any means of knowing what proportion of these accidents ter minates fatally. Upon the whole, then, we conclude that the general features of the official Report are of a mach more favourable character than those of the pre vious year, but with that exception we must go back to 1854 for a mortality rate as high as that of last year, which was in its meteorological ele ments so exceptional as to account probably for the increased number of deaths. London, with all her elaborate sanitary organization, has yet much work that needs doing, and it is questionable if we shell ever reap the fall benefit intended to be conferred by Lord LLarrovita's Act until our medical officers of health are emancipated from the control of the ignorant optimists who unfortunately constitute the majority in our parochial vestries. OUR CONTEMPORLRICEL (THIE9 DAY.) ICI MAY'S COI BILL. While giving lie opinion that the objections against rte educakional f chise bill proposal I tit eight by Mr. Clay preponderate over is marital, the Times expremes regret that none of tie advance l Mows* who have been ogling out for the mei. mobilemmt of the working man, had • word to say on the en'ajeak Swe'y they might have given no some isk'in; of their opinions on its principle if they gawde 1 sesaiust approving the details. The Timer is not di+p mei to deny that the prin.. eiple may be applied to the ems of lodgers, though it thmas that even theca, ethic sal better wades of anima ohisiag that eats might be fount As to the work ing claws. although Mr. City hats as that the mamba time would only eat the working man half-a-craven, the Times doubts whether the sr , Wm deal at a body would be willing or able to pass a stack examiestion.

Ev.n our present property qualification, which some liberal-conservatives are afraid to dis turb, as if our British constitution bad been crested thirty five instead of six hundred pars ago, her not excluded them, we do not say from the polling-booth, but from the House of Commons. If the House of Commons were simply a debating soeiety, no quastioe, the Telegraph thinks, could well be more fitted for dismission than that to which Mr. Clay's motion gave rise last night. Whether intelligence or property ought to lie the basis for the posstesion of its franchise, is en admirable thesis for controve - sy ; bat its practical im postmsce is of ao great magnet. Tots seems the falai objeetion to the scheme of which the member for Hull is the parliamentary parent. Aequitti ig Yr. Clay of any wish to throw didloulties in the path of reform, the Telegraph wool extend the same charity to toe strange allies who supportsd his r•j-et with auspicious alacrity. Ins very few brief materear, however, the Chanoeltor of the Exchequer derairshed tto whole fabrie of misrepre eezfatien which Mr. Mamma and his fallow-worker bad built And the cheers which welciated the stmouncemeat that within a few days Mr. falwistolo would be able to lay before the house the statistic% Malted to form a full opinion on the subject of the franchise, were prOg positive that the greet majority of the ministerial supporters do not regard the ides of reform with that dread and anti pstby which Messrs. Lowe sad Hammen profess, and which they would fain persuade themselves is entertained by others of greater note and higher influsece. The Star describes Mr. Clay'. proposal es impracticable, sad adds that it is not likely to be placed in a better posi tion then before by the useless and even ribald speoebes by which it was supported yesteriay. There is probably no debating society in London which would not have treated the subject in a higher moral tone sad even with greater ability ban most of the s, solar of last night displayed. The requirement of en educe tional teat is en abeilute impertinence, if the working slums are worthy cf the frsnchise ; sad if they are not, roadie', rutin', sod four rules of arithmetic will Dot avert the consequences of their unfitness. Measures of this kind, therefore, can a: bat only confuse the issues now before peril-meet and the country. LOlO ROSISBLL AID TEU GLASGOW DIRCITITION.

Geaseakli, from his residence -IF has addressed to the Spaniards a long prociamati It is a document of a rather confused nature, ana contains no political programme of the leader in the last insurrection. It declares that Prim is com pletely detached from Queen Isabella, who had, however, loaded him with favours, who had made him Count de Reuss, Marquis de Cas tillejos, and a grandee of Spain. He does not say, or even leave room to guess, with what he wishes to replace the daughter of Maris-Christina. He, however, declares that he is in favour of revolu tion, and that the failure of his late attempt has not discouraged him. One passage of his address is as follows : _ _ Beoause I have entered Portugal. have I terminated my work? Do I acknowledge myself vanquished! No! • theemad times, No !

It is only because parliament approves of the principles upon which these institutions were originally created, that par liament continues to great the funds. It is therefore the duty of parliament to see either that these principles are still maintained, or that they are not altered in • manner which does not meet their appravel. If the government believed that the changes which they oonsemplate were strictly in accordance with the principles laid down last session, what need foe their Mecham) to explain their intentions? Perhaps It is net yet too late for some independent member to frame a resolution which shall not only compel the goweramsot to declare their designs, but shall frustrate their project of °lnverting the Qoesn's University into • sectarian insti tution.

ME TOPICS. The Times can dad in the published despatches of Mr. Byre no sign of the wsocinaive proofs that this Noma Bay , massacre was to be traced to Mr. Gordon, which Mr. Byre sod Col mei Hobbs is their early reports stated were in their possession. The /mud of his letter with their enclosures leaves with the Times the impression that Mr. Eyre was • bro.* end conscientious mats of no ordinary ability, bat without that jadicial edginess which aloes can enable any teas to iesti mat* the true proportioos of a sudden smergessey ; his despatches showiog also as irepstieoce of opposition and oteodeeoy to exaggerate the mischievous designs of his °pimento. . . Commenting upon the navy estimates, the Times shows that the heavy charges for new works which has demolished the isavinp effected is other items belong as directly to our first-rate iroa•olads as say part of their eqoipment. We have paid for our new fleet, and we are now asked to pay for the means of redtting and repairing it. A more lege- 'lions system might possibly have saved us a considerable portion of the first charge, ail greatly diminished the weight of the second. The Daily Pew insists, with regard to the Cattle Plague Bill, that in a thousaad ways and places the estab lishment of a system of paying half value out of a rate to which everyone, whether owner of cattle or not, whether dweller in country or in tiwo, mud oontribute, will work evil. That it will prevent soy further employment of remedies ; will cause hundreds of cattle to be killed which would have become again fit far food, and ruin many a man who will be forced to sell his stock at half-price, are evils of a mioor character. The wont will be that the notion of the com pensation, however inadequate, will perpetuate the *eel genes sad disregard of the laws of *attire which are the chief predisposing causes for a recurrence of the diessio, aid will encaurigs precisely the clue of persons who are igoorant and reckless of all the laws of health to persevere in their negligence. The Daily New expects to see, from the peculiar Ohl:icier of the trdfic in dead meat, a further fall of prices to the fanner ; coupled with a rise of prices to the consumer. The Herald assures its readers that Mr. fin: htts lament ably failed in the Home of Commons. He bac, it rays, met with a reception such as has scarcely ever been accorded to any' new member, and it makes bold to say that any boy from the &ten debating society would have acquitted himself more respectably. The Herald adds that there is no fear that be will suoriamb to the fatal in fluence of whig drawing-rooms, for he hes already chosen Mr. Bright as his leader, adopting the sentiment' and even the words of that gentleman, only failing to reproduce a photograph of his leader's oratory because he lacked the Ire, the genius, and the art which oommaed respect and ex cite admiration, even when the reason is shocked and the feelings are outraged. The Telegraph enlarges upon the virtue of Sir Moses tionte6ore, who this week starts again for the Etat to ad- Inhaler the remainder of the Syrian fund. It speaks of that silvery head which, far passim the ordinary term of life, and with much to make it wearily bow in retirement and rest, is seen bravely horned again to far off Syria, in the winter thee, with seas and lauds to cross, and sadden changes of climate to bear, because duty to the poor of his faith beckons him to one more effort, and because the statel►, sad, historic city—the Jerwalem that ell men call holy, but only her children love—draws ►im with an tann est)* which is irresistible, and which eves to bin " fourscore years and upwards' a returning strength, like Israel's, when he "gat up to go to Joseph, and said, I will see him yet before I die."
