THE FRENCH PRUE AND THE Lreen EURO
TRIATT.—We rend in the Paris Temps of yesterday :
"The French press appears generally to haverexivedsome-
what coolly the news of this solution ; even the semi-
official papers, with the exception of the Petrie, display
but little enthusiasm. A speculator wouldperhaps say that
this is owing to the event having been foreseen for the last
two days and discounted, to use the favourite expression of
the Bourse people, by public opinion ; but this reserve evi-
dently proceeds from a more earnest sentiment and •
more comprehensive appreciation of the reality of things.
It is because people are generally convinced that
the Luxemburg question was only an incident of the inter-
national difficulties between France and Germany, result-
ing from the formation of a German military empire, that
the successful issue of the Franco-Fruseian conflict has not
moved the public more. We have ourselves too often
dwelt upon the gravity given to the situation ly the
spirit in which Germanic unity was accomplished
to be surprised at seeing this impression remain
even after the settlement of the affair of the Grand
Duchy. It would nevertheless be unjust not to recognise
the importance of this first result ; it has not only the
merit of adjourning the 'chances of conflict, but also
in our view of giving to the important movement of public
opinion, recently exhibited in favour of peace, the time to
develop itself freely, to accentuate itself with still in-
creasing energy, and by the nuniberand imposing character
of its manifestations to force even the military and per-
sonal governments to take it seriously into account."
THE HEALTH OF LONDON.—It appears from the
Registrar-aeneraPs return that in
.the week that ended on
Saturday, May 11, the births registered in London and
12 other large towns of the United Kingdom were 4,005 ;
the deaths registered, 2,820. The annual rate of mortality
was 24 per 1,000 persons living. In London the births of
1,119 boys and 1,029 girls, in all 2,148 children, were re-
gistered in the week. In the corresponding weeks of tan
years 1857-60 the average number, corrected for increase
of population, is 2,049. The deaths registered in London
during the week were 1,233. It was the 19th week of the
year; and the average number of deaths for the week is,
with • correction for increase of population, 1,357. The
deaths in the present return are less by 10M' then the esti-
mated number. Thirty deaths from smallpox were re-
gistered last week ; S belonged to the West, 3 to the
North, 4 to the Central, 8 to the East, and 10 to the South
