London, which in May rose to nearly 1,200 in a week, and
in Jane to nearly 1,100, tell to 926 in the week that ended
last firturday. The average number in the ten correspond-
ing week of 1845-64, whoa corrected for Increase of popu-
lation. is Loas. The present return is therefore of a favour-
able character. The health of London during the three
months of April, May, and June has been better than it
was in the correspondieg seasons of the two previous years ;
but the mortality. is still higher than it was some year. ago,
and the deaths In thirteen weeks were 14,997, or more by
some thousands probably than would have happened bad
the sanitary arrangement' of London bun in a satisfactory
state.
THE MURDER OP A SOLDIER AT SHEFFIELD.—
On Monday, the inquest on the body of Private George
Lewis, of the 7th Human, who was stabbed last Thursday
morning (under circumstances stated in Friday's Ex-
press), was held at the Town-hall, Sheffield, before T.
Badger, E.g., coroner. At the conclusion of the evidence,
the coroner, having cautioned the prisoner, Thomas Jack-
son, it the usual manner, asked him if he wished to make
any observations. The prisoner, who spoke in a low tone,
and appeared to feel his position very deeply, then said—
"K, name Is Thomas Jackson. I live in Sheffield, and am
*grinder by trade. I unfortunately did the deed, and lam
very sorry for it. I had great provocation. That is all I
have to esy." The coroner in summing up, remarked upon
the number of cases of stabbing which had of late occurred
in Sheffield. It was really frightful to think upon, and
disgraceful to them as Englishmen. The jury, after con-
sulting some minutes, returned unanimously a uthict of
" Wittul murder."
