Kenos the deaths returned last week were less by 258 than would have occurred in the present population under the average rate of mortality at this period of the year. The 6 epidemic diseases which contribute more to the total mortality than others in the same class, with the exception of cholera at particular seasons, were fatal list week in the following order—typhus caused 57 deaths, hooping-cough 40, scarlatina 28, measles 17, diarrhoea 11, and small-pox 10. Eight deaths from typhus were returned from Islington West, the sub-district in which the Fever Hospital is situated. Heaton and Hagger stone sent to suff-r from it .to sonic extent. Mr. Up john, the registrar of Pentenville, states that beeping cough has lately been very prevalent in his district ; but in the London districts generally less fatal last week than is usual in the month of February.

Hsr Majesty's paddlewheel sloop Scourge, which left Sierra Leone on the 3d inst., arrived in Plymouth Sound yesterday afternoon. The only ship of war in port when she left, was the Salamander, Commander George T. Meehan, to which the pennant of Commodore Adawsand the crew of the Scourge have been transferred. The Chil ders, 12, Commander Hickley, had left for the Bights. The sloop Phiimpel, 8, Commander Skene, was on the North Coast of Gambia. The brig Linnet, 8, Commander H. Need, and the screw steam.sloop Plumper, 9, Com mander W. 11. Haswell, were on the South Coast. The paddle-wheel steam-sloop Alecto, 5, Commander Robert Phillips, was conveying the newly-appointed Consul down the Cape Coast. The paddle-wheel steam-vessel Antelope, 3, Lieutenant-Commander Charles H. Young, will came home shortly with volunteers from the Afri can squadron, The Scourge incurred some damage at Fernando Po last August, and has returned for repairs, when she will go back to Sierra Leone, and receive her crew again from the Salamander. She brought a mail, the with French steam-ship squadron,left t the Thames, and some invalids, and a number of volunteers. The coast sheexchanged of Africa is comparatively healthy. The Scourge called at Gorse, where colours she Teaerifre, where there were some American ships of war. When nearing Usbant, on Monday afternoon, outward-bound. The Royal Mail Company's paddle-wheel steam-ship Orinoco, transport No. 218, was, in accordance with or ders previously received from the Admiralty, ready for the reception of troops and horses at Southampton yes terday. The Great Western, steam-transport, No. 6, will be ready for the conveyance of troops, &c., on the 2d of March. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's screw steamship Candia, transport No. 213, is awaiting the arrival of horses and troops. This, vessel, which is now lying in the Southampton docks, was to receive on eseltenkaratirp - ert to=day, 2.l7llerups and seo ha: ses, besines offieers ; but up to ast evening no - information had been received that they would positively arrive. Tne Orinoco, which was to embark horses, &c., yester day, has no% yet received the Government stores, and the Candia is in a like position. The crew for both !nips have had their victualling placed on board by their respective companiee. Owing to the non-arrival of the hay, &c.; for the horses and troops (the Government undertaking to provide the necessary stores), there is little probability that the troops will embark at South ampton to-day, as originally intended. The General Screw Company have received orders to prepare their four large ships. viz.—the Argo, No. 81 ; the Calcutta, No. 195, the Queen of the South, No. 135 ; and the Hydaspes, No. S 7, for the reception of horses and troops. These ships are to be fitted to con vey the following :—Calcutta, 26 officers, 140 men, and 160 horses ; Argo, 28 officers, 150 men, and 190 horses ; and the Hydaspes and Queen of the South will each con vey 28 officers, 120 men, and 200 horses. ' Each vessel will also have placed on board 10 tons of heavy and 200 tons of light stores. All four of these large ships will be ready at Southampton for the reception of their freight on the 3d of Marcb, but the company have only received information that the Argo and Hydaspes will receive full pay from that date.

THE SOCIETY of APOTHECARIES earnestly invite the attention o f their Licentiates to the Bill which has been introduced into the House of Commons to alter and amend the laws regulating the Medical Profession. The Society have no hesitation in publicly expressing their opinion that the changes in the law which are contemplated by this Bill would prove highly detrimental to the interests of General Practi tioners, that is to say, to the int, rests of a great majority of those who are practising the healing art in this country. The Society, therefore, entreat their Licentiates to examine the provisions of this Bill for themselves, and to form their own opinion of its real scope and object, and they caution them, in the mean while, against accepting the Bill upon the opinion and recommenda tion of its promoters. A prominent feature of the Bill, which will not escape at' ention, is this, that any person who does not actually assume a medical title (such as that of Physician, Surgeou, or Apothecary) will he at liberty to practise any In'anch of the profession without the necessity of undergoing an examination, or receiving ally medical education whatever. Consequently, Chemists and Druggists, should the Bill become law, will be legally entitled to practise any and every branch of the profession. By order of the Society of Apothecaries. • ROBERT 11.
