that it did not depend upon.patronsge, but was entirely self-
supporthig, There was no 'lottery" connected with it, all

thalami they hay. as • elate of making any matiafactory
provision for sickness or old age, the objects of this society

kIZALT/1 OF LONDON. It appears from the
weekly return of the Ragistno-Cleeeral that in the week
that ended on Saturday the deaths of 1.661 perilous (802 realm
and 759 females) were registered in London. The average
number in earreopeading weeks of ten years 1853-61 is, with
• correction for thermos of popekitios, 1,432. The deaths
of last week were therefore more by 129 than they w said
have been if the average rate of mortality had prevailed.
The increase in the number of deaths is canned principally
by pulmonary diseases. The births in lest week exiseeded
the deaths in the same period by 391. 336 peewee died of
symotic disease*, including 47 by aniall-pox, 36 by measles,
: 66 by scarlatina, 16 by diphtheria. 33 by typhus, 67 by
hoopoe-cough. Of 337 deaths assigned to distress, at
the respiratory organs, 170 were caused by bresichitis.
114 by peemoina,
rer, 16 by asthma. Pbthisis was fatal is 191
eases. A labou aged 48 years, died in way', Rogge,/
from glanders. 36 persons died by accidents ; but it is evi-
dent that while some deaths are really aosideeted, the
greater part arise from the negligees, of the pineal them-
selves or of others, and many such deaths may, therefore,
be prevented. A case of infantiekie was registered, and
five suicides. The deaths of five ermageeariees are rwoordevlt
the oldest was a widow, who attained the of 94 years.
Last week the births of 1,006 boys lodged in all 1,952
