HEALTH OP LONDON. It appears from the
Registrar-General's return that in the week that ended last
Saturday the total number of deaths registered in London
was 1,296, exhibiting a slight increase on that of the pre-
vious week, which was 1,259. The avenge number, as ob-
tained from the returns of corresponding weeks in the ten
years 1853-62, and corrected for increase of populatioo, is
1,139. The number contained in the present return is
therefore 157 more than it would have been if the average
rate of mortality had prevailed. The births in last week
exceeded the deaths in the same period by 70L Sixty-eight
deaths from small-pox were registered last week, 21 of which
occurred at the age of 20 years and upwards. Typhus
was fatal in 46 oases, diarrheas in 12, scarktana
in 78, measles in 39. Of 178 deaths assigned to
diseases of the respiratory organs, 93 were mused by
bronchitis, 54 by poeuosocia, Bby asthma. Phthisis was
fatal in 159 MIL The son of a labourer, residing at Plum-
steed, died from the effects of poison, the paper on the walls
of the bed room containing large quantities of arsenic. A
girl aged 14 years, died in the W estminster Hospital from
tetanus. A man, aged 57 years, died from carbuncle. The
deaths of 4 penises were canoed by delirium tremens, and
one person died from intemperance. Six deaths occurred
from burns or scalds, 5 children and one adult were suffer-
crated. The deaths of two nonagenarisos are recorded, they
were aged respectively 94 and 98 years. Last week the
births of 1,006 boys and 992 girls, in all 1,997 children,
were registered in Loudon. In the ten corresponding
weeks of the years 1853-62 the average number (corrected)
was 1,770.
A num' Ramt-ootmas. —A French racecourse,
I need scarcely remind your readers, is entirely different
from your sporting fields. Rows of carriages, and long
limn of orderly, well-dressed people, and just one soli-
tary booth for refreshments—that is all ; no swearing
is beard, no druLkeoneas is seen, no fighting,
no baskets of food unpacked, no pop heard, as
when in England • sandwich skirmish begins. With
us all is solemn gentility. We have, nevertheless, our
improprieties. There are many ladies in very handsome,
open carriages, who will be " more beautiful still," and art-
fully use paint, patch, and powder. But our Traviata world
is very quiet ; they mute those who approach them after
the fashion of the bed-bred Madame la Buono* of French
society, and they wear with grace the Parisian modes of
the very beet taste. Great Britain was also represented
by one or two of therm exceptional Lidice who have be-
come famous hare, amongst other things for their carriages
and valuable homes. They are approached on our race-
course by solemn statesmen and youthful lions of French
fashion.

" A little nonsense now and then
Is relished by the wisest men"—
was the min of Lord Byron. But our turf meetings,
I maintain, are as quiet, and to all appearances as proper,
as the society of a drawing•room. I am sorry to may
that some of oar own country people sometimes get Tory
fast or very loose (which is it ?) when they come over to
Paris. Here it was Sunday. and several English gentle-
men sad ladies no doubt high church and low church) were
at the races. The English clergy in Paris are preaching
against British protestants going to mess on the Pluoday,
so we can't say that we did not know it was wrong. We
English do so rainy wicked things abroad! I had better
leave that subject, especially as we will suppose the bell
rings, and 100,000 people at least ore straining to look at
the hones which an to run for the grand prin. There
they are, ball of them English hones, all English joekeya—
