TIIE PRINCE oF WALLS' BIRTHDAY was celebrated wide the customary tbs.:nano:lt on Wednesday last. SATURDAY, Vtlibat aA Otnetal. THE METRoPOLITAN MoRTALITE during the week ending Saturday last was 1,114. This slightly ex• coeds the corrected averages for the two previous years. According to the llegistrar-General's report, cholera continues to make great progress in London, though its rate of increase ix not rapid. The deaths referred to it last week were 102. In the last four weeks the numbers have expanded as follows :--45, 53, 99, and 101 ; in the saute period diarrhtea and dysentery were fatal in 55, 45, 43, and 42 cases, showing a constant decrease. Of the 102 deaths la cholera, 11 occurred in the west districts, 9 in the north, 2 in the central, 21 in the east, and 59 in th e south districts. London is situated in a basin, through the bottom of which the Thames flows ; and it was discovered dining the epidemic of 184t4.9 th a t the rate of mortality by that disease was nearly in the inverse proportion of the elevation of the ground on which the dwellings of the inhabitants stood. The same relation between the rates of mortality at di tterent elevations,thonigh the deaths have been m an_ paratively few, has hitherto been observed in the pre sent epidemic. The mortality from cholera in the din tricts at an average elevation of less than twenty feet above Trinity high-water murk has been 31 in 1110,090 inhabitants; in the districts of an average elevation of 20 and below 4(1 feet (10-44) feet) the mortality has been 16 in 100,0041; at au elevation of 40-60 feet the mortality has been 11 in 100,000 ; at 60-50 it has been only 4; at NO-100 only 3. Marylebone, at an average elevation of 100 feet, is the only exception to the law : the mortality has been there 13 in 100,600. At Hampstead, where the elevation may be put at :150 feet., there has hitherto been no death from cholera. Exceptional circum stances disturb the average in particular districts ; but it is a general rule that the danger of dying of cholera, and of all plagues, diminishes, within cer . tain limits, in proportion as the dwellings of the population are raised above the level of the sea.
