THE MORTALITY OF LONDON.
The Registrar-General's returns state that in the
week ending Saturday hot the deaths reported in
London numbered 1,508, namely, 789 male, and 719
female. This presents an apparent excess over the
corrected decennial average of 228 ; but is due in
reality chiefly to the circumstance that a large num-
ber of deaths which formed the subject for coroners'
inquests are only returned at the end of the quarter,
although occurring in various weeks during the three
months just expired. For the year now ended the
official paper presents its usual summary :—During
the fifty.two weeks of 1851 thetotal deaths in London
amounted to 73,897, so that the general mortality of
the year, which in this vast city is ordinarily at the
rate of 25 in 1,000, rose to the high rate of 29 in

1,000.
The deaths in 1849 were 68,432; yet, upon taking
the increase of population into account, the rate of
mortality was rather lower in 1851, notwithstanding
the increase of deaths, than it was in 1840. The
exact rate of mortality was 3.008 per cent. on the
population in 1849, and 2.938 per cent. in 1854. The
epidemic of cholera in the two years separated by an
interval of five years thus raised the mortality one-

15

districts having less than 100 persons to an acre than
it was in the dense districts having 200 persons and
upwards to an acre.

CLERGY OF THE CITY OF LONDON.
A RETURN of the sums raised and paid by different London
parishes under the act of George 111., " for the relief of
certain incumbents of livings iu the City of London," has
just been printed at the instance of Mr. Moffat. The return
comprises the total amounts so paid since the first passing
of the act, a period of exactly fifty years. It shows that
there has been paid annually during that interval, to the
incumbent of the united parishes of Allhallows, Bread-
street, and St. John-the-Evangelist, 2331. Os. sd. ; to the
incumbent of the united parishes of St. Augustine and St.
Faith, 2881. 13s. 4d.; to the incumbent of Allhallows-the-
Great, 2211. 4a. ed. ; of Allhallows-the-Less, 1111. 2s. 2d. ;

of St. Anthulin and St. John-the-Baptist, upon Walbrook,
2001.; of St. Bartholemew, by the Exchange, 2001. ; of St.
Benet Fink, 2001.; of the united parishes of St. Benet and
St. Peter, Paul's-wharf, 2001. ; of the united parishes of St.

Swithin and St. Mary Bothaw, 2331. Bd. Bd. The
churchwardens of St. Magnus-the-Martyr, and of St. Mary-
at•hill, state that they believe the sums required to be
raised have been annually collected and paid, but the
amounts are not specified. All parishes the churches of
which were not burnt down in the Great Fire of London
are exempted from the operations of the act ; and from that
or other special circumstances, it would appear
no money is raised under it in the parishes of All
Barking ; Allhallows, Staining, Mark-lane ; St. Al
Si. Andrew Undershaft ;St Anne and Agnes ; St. Bart ,
lomew-the-Great ; St. Bartholomew-the Less; St. liotolplO
Without, Aldersgate ; St. Botolph, lliehopsgax ; Bridewea
Precinct ; St. Dunstan's-in-the-West; St. Giles 'Maw ' 1
Cripplegate; St. Helen's, Bishopsgate ; St. Katinui
Coleman ; St. Katharine Cree Church; St.. Martin Out-
with ; and St. Nicholas Cole Abbey. From the figures
supplied in the return, it appears that about 8,4001. have
been paid annually under the act; and there has been
raised under it, up to this time, a gross amount of some-
thing like 390,000/. ; or, adding about the average for the
two parishes in which the amount is not named, probably
not far short of 3600101.

THE commissioners appointed by the Archbishop
of Canterbury to inquire into the allegations made
against Archdeacon Denison, with a view to depriving
him of his preferments in the Church, commenced
their sittings on Thursday last, at Clevedon, near
Bristol. The commissioners are the Right Rev.
Bishop Carr, D.D., Rector of Bath ; the Rev. Charles
Langdon, M.A., Vicar of Queen Camel, near Lang-
port;
the Rev. Reginald Pole, M.A., Rector of Yeo-
vilton, near Ilchester ; the Rev. R. C. Philips, M.A.,
Rector of Cuclaington, near Wincanton; and the
Rev. Henry Parr, M.A. of Shipston•on-Stour. Dr.
Bayford appeared on behalf of the promoters of the
suit, and Dr.' Robert Phillimore, M.P., on the part
of the archdeacon. It will be the duty of the com-
missioners to report to the archbishop, after due in-
quiry, whether there is any ground for proceeding
further against the archdeacon, on the ground of the
unsoundness of his teaching. If their report be in
the affirmative the case will be formally brought
before the Arches Court; but if in the negative the
whole proceedings must drop. From the constitution
of the committee there is every reason to believe that
the case presented to their notice will be fairly and
impartially tried.

A table is published with the new return on the
influence of density of population. The population
of London is very unequally distributed over 78,029
acres of ground; in several of the outlying sub-dis-
tricta the inhabitants are in the proportion of 1,2, 3,
4,5, 6, 10 on an acre ; in other sub-districts the popu
lation becomes so crowded that there are 200, 253,
300, 400 ; and in one sub-district 432 persons lodged
on every acre of ground. This table shows that there
is no direct connection between these different
degrees of density and the fatality of cholera. The
epidemic was not generally more fatal in the sub.
