THE WEEKLY 11ET1'11N OF THE REOISTILAH-GENERAL
shows that the number of deaths registmed in the
metropolitan districts in the week that ended on
Saturday was 1,030. In the ten corresponding weeks
of the years 10413-52, the average number was NO,
which, it' raised in proportion to increase of popula-
tion, will give 1,011. A comparison of the results
shows that London last week suffixed not more than
its ordinary rata of mortality. Cholera, which lets
made its presence felt in various parts of the inctre.
polls, and during the prey' v four weeks showed a
small but main ttttt ts increase, does not appear lately
to have gained ground. The deaths from this
disease were sixty-six in the first week of oetober,
and last week they declined to forte -five. These
were thus distributed over lann4lloll the West
