ti.E4I,TROF LONDON DrJRING THE WEEK.
(from the Registrar-General's Report.)
The number of deaths from au ceuses registered in
the . metropolitan districts in the, week ending last
Saturday was 1,051. An iinprovernent is evident in
this result:when compered with the returns -for the-
previous four weeks, in which severally the mortality
rose above 1,200.. In.the ten porresponding weeks of
the years 1842-51 the average was 938, which, if
corrected for increase of population, becomes 1,032.
the amount of last week therefore nearly coincides
with, the estimated number.
The table of fatal diseases still, however, shows
135 deaths caused by diseases of the organs of respi-
ration, or nearly a fourth of the total number, and
that the mortality under this head has not, undergone
any considerable reduction. The corrected average of
this class is only 178. These -235 cases are thus dis-
tributed laryngitis 4, pleurisy:4, bronchitis 122,
prieurnarria.Bo, VttOplit.: and other. diseases 25. Hence
it appears on a comparison with the.. previous week
that pneumonia continues as fatal, while bronchitis,
which greatly exceeded the average, also maintains
about the same amount.- The number of deaths
ascribed to phthisis is now less ; it has decreased from
161 in the previous week to 146 in the last, which is
about the average. • •
In the epidemic class of diseases there appears some
tendency to increase. Small pox. was fatal to 25
ehildr'en aid 9 adults, scerlatina to 35 persons ; 11
children were carried off by measles, 47 by hoopinge
cough, and 8 bycroup;,4 persons died of influenza,
44 of typhue, &c., 2 of remittent fever, 2 of rheumatic
fever, and :7; of ervsipelas.
The following five deaths occurred lin the Small-
pox Linspital:—
_ _

On 34 April a female servant • from King-street.,
S.iho..ged 24 years, " small-pox, confluent, unmo-
&fled (49 days); vaccinated when in infancy in Suf-
folk ; eue cicatrix scarcely perceptible..."
On 4th April a Mau .(no occupation), aged 46
years, from 0 d Compton-street, Soho, " small-pox,
confluent, umnodified (29 days); vaccinated when
young in Edinburgh.; one very large cicatrix."
On sth April. a woman, aged 23 years, from Lin-
coln's Inn fields, " small-pox, confluent, haemorrhage,
unmodified (9 days); vaccinated in infancy in Lon-
don; two imperfect cicatrices, but just perceptible."
On Itri April a boy from Lambeth Workhouse,
aged 5 m{,ntbs, " small-pox, confluent, unprotected
(10 day)."
On 9-h April, a female servant, aged 19 years, from
Battlebridge, " small-pox, confluent, unprotected
(10 days).7

In tile-church sub-district of Bethnal-green, at 12,
Thomas- street, on the 841 April, the son of a railway
porter, aged 2 months, died of " confluent small-pox."
This chid was not vaccinated. Mr. Briggs states
that two children in the family, aged 3 and 7 years,
and their Inotber, who had all been previously vacci-
nwed, had the same complaint, and recovered. $t 2,
Hop--terrace,nington, on 2d April, .tha son of a
tailor, aged 9 years, died of "confluent small-pox
(10 days)." There were three well-defined marks of
vaccination on the arm. In the aub'district of Gol-
den-square, at 51, Marshall street, on the Bth April,
the, son of a printer, aged 2 years, died of "variola
(without vaccination)." Mr. Churchman states that
this is only the second fatal case of small-pox in his
sub-district, during a period of nearly four years
in which he has been registrar.
Four deaths occurred in the London Fever Hos-
pital, of which the.folluwing are the particulars:—
Op sth April, a bonnet maker, from. Seymour-
street, Pancras, aged 17 years, ".ioarlatina 6 days, in
hospital 5 days."
On 7th ,of April a man from Pheasant-court, Hol-
born, about 40 years, " typhus (duration unknown) ;
in.hospital 1 day."
On 9th .of Arisiewfb-or a labourer from
Orchard-place, Marylebone, aged 35 years, " typhus
(duration unknown) ; in hospital 3 days."
On 9th of April a hat maker from Union-court,
Holborn, aged 47 years," typhus (duration unknown);
in hospital 3 days."
In the sub-district of St. Andrew East, Holborn,
12 deaths were registered in the week, and of these ,
3 were from scarlatina, and 3 from other fever (of
which 2 occured in the workhouse), besides the,death
from typhus, mentioned above, of a man from Phea-
sant•court, which occurred in the London Fever
Hospital,

In Bloomsbury, at 4, Kingsgate.street, on 3tl April,
the wife of a sawyer, aged 59 years, died of typhus. Mr.
Yardley adds—" I am told by the informant that the
smell arising from the defective drainage is at times
most offensive, and partieularly in the upper part of
the house where it appearA to enter at the staircase
windows from the yard in which is a common privy.;"
he adds "that the medical man considered the death of
this p-raon greatly accelerated, if not entirely caused,
by this malaria in which she had lived for many years.
I have since been to see the house myself but could
not detect anything very offensive, . and the persons
living there tell me that it is. only at•times that it is
so bad. I observed the dusthole very full and,
offensive."

In Ratcliffe, at 6, Bromley-street, the daughter and
son of a, coachman, aged respectively. 11 mouths and 2
years, died on 31st March and 4th April of scarlatina.
The following are a few eases selected from the
returns of the week :—On 3d April, at North Brixton,
a woman, aged 47 years, "gastritis (7 days), ulcera-
tion and perforation of the stomach immediately be-
fore death." A woman, aged 60 3 earE, died of " neu-
ralgia (1 year.") At 9, Shacklewell-row, Hackney, on
4th April, a tailor, aged 48 years, "died of phthisis (3
years), carbuncle (3 weeks), ulcers (2 weeks)." In
Somers-town the son of a labourer. aged 1 month, " boils
on the abdomen from birth." Four persons died of
purpura—a boy, aged 12 years, " purpura (3 weeks),
epistaxis (14 days)" ; the daughter of a • labourer,
aged 4 mouths, " improper diet, purpura ;" a woman,
aged 32 years, " purpura, with enlarged liver (3
weeks) ;" a boy, aged 2 years, " purpura (7 weeks),
aecires (2 weeks)." One person died of intempe-
rance.

Mr. Jay, registrar of the Hanover-square sub-
district, states that of 88 deaths registered by, him in
the first three months of the year, 31, or more than a
third, were caused by diseases of the respiratory
organs. Of the fatal eases of small-pox it could not
be clearly ascertained in any that-the persons bad
been well protected.i Mr. Leonard, of the. Charing-
cross sub-district, states that he registered only one
death from small pox during the same threemonths,
but that the disease has been very prevalent. He
considers that the protective power of vaccination has
been evident, and that from the neglect of parents it
ought to be enforced by enactment.

Accounts from Buenos Ayres ate that after the
flight of General Rosas an attem to pillage Buenos
Ayres wag made by some of hi soldiers, but the
citizens having armed themselves,' kept them down,
and general M Ranzilla,
eaosas's other-in-law, and
governor of the town, having give up the city on the
4th of February, sending a cenerailsion of four distin-
guished citizens to Urquiza, Who uainted him with
their present situation; the latter . eneral placed the
Provisional government in the han • of Vicente Lopez,
the President of the Chamber - ustice, and at his
desire sent troops into Buenos Ayres. The Governor,
having associated himself with - Colonel Don Manuel
Escalda, Minister of War and Marine ; Jose Benja-
min Gorostiva, Minister of Finance ;Luis Luis J. de la
Pena, Minister for Foreign Affairs ; Colonel Blas-
p, ice Minister of Police, &c., succeeded in restoring
order, and affairs have proceeded in a satisfactory
manner since then. General Urquiza had visited
Buenos Ayrea, having been received' with every
demonstration of regard. Some insinuations have
been made against General .Manzilla, that being aware
that General Rosas had promised his army, if success-
ful, the pillage of the city, he did not take those
measures beforehand in his power to prevent the dis-
turbances he should have anticipated would occur ;
and letters from the General to the commissioners he
appointed to wait on General Urquize, with their
answers, have been published by him in refuation of
the charge.
Ross having, before his departure, plundered the
public treasury to its last dollar, a decree has been
issued, of which the following is an extract :
" Leaving as yet to the appreciation of history and of
the world the bloody crimes of Don Juan Manuel Bons,
as also the immense evils that he has brought upon the
country in its moral order, it is impossible to overlook
the material injuries that he has so profanely scattered
upon it. To this class belongs the protracted series of
spotiations and appropriations to himself of the public
revenues, wherewith he so shamelessly augmented his
private fortune, in presence of the very community that
he compelled to extol bis feigned purity. The Go-
vernment does not at present take into consideration the
acts of that man, considered as en evil adminis-
trator; that is to say, it does not allude to the arbi-
trary and prejudicial inversion of a great part of these
funds in objects and views notoriously opposed to the
public good, employed to corrupt men and perpetuate
his power, by perpetuating ruinous and unjust wars, at
the same time that he disregareed entirely sacred obli-
gations, and abandoned establishments indispensable in
civilized communities. But for the first magistrate of a
community to appropriate to himself the funds that re-
present its sweat is not to administer well or ill, it is to
steal and plunder with very aggravated circumstances.
In this view Don Juan Manuel Rosas is merely a public
debtor, bound to restitution, and to redress of grievances.
Assuredly it does not enter into the principles of the
Government to accept the barbarous and anti-social
dogma of political confiscation, introduced into the coun-
try by that man; but to cause him to refund, as
far as possible, all that be has robbed, does
and must enter. This determination, conformable
to the general principles that impose responsi-
bility on every individual that administers public
property, is the more just and urgent in this case, in
that a great legacy of fiscal embarrassments, debts,
chaos, and confusion has been bequeathed to the country
by the dictatorial, administration. Unfortunately the
assets of this debtor, though many and valuable, can
only cover a very small proportion of this immense debt;
but thoughTespectively.few, it is indispensable to satisfy
npon them this supretrteXigenee4F-publiejuitioe.
- " For all these reasons, the Government has accorded
and decrees:

" Art. lat.—All the property of every kind belonging
to Don Juan Manuel Rosa; and existing in the territory
of the province, is declared public property.'
The above decress are copied from the British
Packet, which has heretofore been under the despotic
control of General Resits, and it is somewhat amusing
to observe how those who conduct this journal make
use of their emancipation.
• The proclamation of General Urquiza to the people
of 'Buenos Ayres is the starting point of the era on
which we heve entered; the corner-stone of the social
edifice to be reconstructed; the pole-star that can alone
guide the Argentines to a haven of safety and repose.
To illustrate its spirit and tendency, and inculcate a rigid
adherence to its prescriptions is the preferent mission of
the public press.
" The general oblivion of all grievances must be re-
•ponled to in a cordial and Christian spirit. The excep-
tions are few and clearly defined, and no motive of personal
resentment, still less of party rivalry, can j ustify the slight-
est deviation from the course traced out in that most im-
pawed document. It social rights have been invaded, or
material interests compromised, redress must be sought
through the ministry of the laws, allowing the Govern-
ment and the tribunals to act with the dignified indepen-
dence and calm and mature deliberation so requisite
to unravel the complications of a long exceptional
regime, that must henceforth be mentioned or remem-
bered only to guard against the possibility of its recur-
rence.
" In the announced appeintments of the Provisional
Government we have a pledge and earnest of its sincerity,
in giving practical effect to the opportune and enlight-
ened fusion of all political parties.'
" The personnel of the Provisional Government have
merited general approbation, and their measures hitherto
all bear the stamp of moderation and dignity; and the
heart must be callous to the dearest interests of humanity
that does not sincerely wish them every success in the
important and arduous enterprise in which they are en-
gaged."
Letters from Rio de Janeiro mention a belief that
Brazil was getting the worst of it in Monte Video,
the presidential chair having been allotted to a leading
Orbista. In Buenos Ayres, also the
Urquiza had
the satisfaction was
by no means general ; for although
hitherto acted well, he was not much trusted, and the
people wished to get rid of his unpaid army.
The yellow fever was very
severe at Rio among
the shipping, although there were only a few fatal
cases on shore.
The Buenos Ayres papers are filled with official
decrees from the new Government, none of which are,
however, worth publishing here. On the 25th of
February General Urquiza proclaimed an amnesty,
which appeared to have given satisfaction.
The fever has almost left the Cape Verde Islands.
"At the Canaries a slight
Shock of an earthquake
had been felt, but no damage Was done.
0 wing to the fever in the Brazils the Tay was
placed in- quarantine at Teneriffe and Lisbon. The
English barque Chorister Was lying at anchor at
Teneriffe.
