HEALTH OF LONDON.

(From the .Registrar-General's Weekly Return.)
The mortality of London declined in the second week of
the present month, and this lower rate continued in the
week that ended last aturday. The number of deaths in
the present return is 1,191. The average number as ob—
tained from the returns of corresponding weeks in 184-62,
and corrected for increase of population, is 1,143. The actual
number is therefore in excess of the estimated number for
the middle of June by 48.
The deaths from smallpox, which showed a decrease in
the first and second weeks in June, having been 56 and 43,
rose again last week to 64. Of this number 10 occurred in
the west districts, 18 in the north, 6 in the central, 17 in the
east, 13 in the south. There were 3 in the sub-district of
St. Margaret, W estminster, 4 in Camden-town, 3 in Hag-
gerstone West, 3 in Poplar, 3 in St. Peter's, \Valworth. Of
the 64 cases 5 were stated to have occurred to persons who
had been vaccinated.

The deaths from scarlatina rose to 97, only 3 of which
occurred in the west districts. This complaint was fatal in
4 cases in Kentish-town, 10 in Islington, 12 in Newington.
In the sub-district of St. Mary, Newington, 2 children died
of scarlatina in one family, 2 in another, and also 2 in a
third. The Registrar returned 6 fatal cases in the week.
Two deaths occurred from glanders in the week. There
were 3 from intemperance, and 4 from delirium tremens.
The oldest person recorded in the returns is a man, aged
95 years.

Last week the births of 938 boys and 941 girls, in all 1,879
children, were registered in London, In the 10 correspond-
ing weeks of the years 1853.62 the average number (cor-
rected) was 1,864.

At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height
of the barometer in the week was 29.705 in. The reading
rose to 29.87 in. on Sunday, and fell to 29.38 in on Friday.
The mean temperature of the air in the week was 58.8 deg,.
which is o'6 deg below the average of the same week in 43
years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The lowest night
reading of the thermometer was 45.4 deg on Sunday. The
highest day reading was 72.7 deg on Thursday. The range
in the week was therefore 27.3 deg. The mean daily range
was 18 2 deg. The difference between the mean dew tem-
perature and air temperature was 6.5 deg. The mean de-
gree of humidity of the air was 79, complete saturation be-
ing represented by 100. The wind blew generally from a
westerly or south-westerly point till Saturday, when it was
in a northerly direction. The amount of rain was 1.66 in,
of which almost an inch and a half fell on Friday. Rain
fell on four days. The mean of the highest temperatures
of the water of the Thames was 621 deg ; the mean of the
lowest was 60.5 deg. The highest reading of the thermo-
meter in the sun was 112.3 deg. on Thursday.

This Company is formed for the purpose of purchasing an
extensive and valuable grant of Lead, Copper, Iron Ore, and
Slate, en the north side of the noted Caller Idris Mountain,
known as the Cyfannedd-fawr, in the parish of Llanegryn,
Merionethshire, North Wales, held under lease for 21 years,
at 1-15th Royalty on all minerals (except Iron Ore, at a
Royalty of only 4d. per ton).
The great grant includes numerous lodes of Lead, Zinc, and
Copper —lron of the beat quality, and blende with traces of
Gold—also excellent Slate.
An adit-level intersects several lodes of Silver-lead, or
Galena.
A Copper lode opened upon, gives promise of excellent re-
sults.
An Iron vein runs through the entire grant.
An extensive bed of Slate of good cleavage can be worked
to great advantage.
The Silver-lead, proved by assay, has yielded 40 ounces of
silver to the ton of ore.
Lead and Copper from a shaft at the end of the adit have
realised £32 per ton.
The Iron vein is estimated to produce 61 per cent. of iron.
The Slate is of superior Quality, and can be cut into pave-
ment, flooring, chimney pieces, &c. The streams of water
running through the grant offer great facilities for working,
scouring, and cutting the slate. In fact, a Quarry opened
upon the property will pay well for working.
The foregoing facts and the position of the
grant,
M in
mineral district, warrant the conclusion teat, "Y
worked, the mine is capable of yielding returns equal to those
of the most profitable mines in the Principality.
efficiently
worked,
The property being advantageously situated about half a
mile from the Welsh Coast Railway, from which a siding can
be constructed at moderate cost, and only 2i miles by public
road from the shipping port of Barmonth, affords a facility
of transit which greatly enhances its value.
With these aivantages, and adequate water power for
working machinery, dressing. ores, &c , the Directors, after carefulinvestigation, confidently anticipate that 10s. per
share upon the capital of the Company will be sufficient to
develope the wealth of the mine, and produce profitable re-
sults without further calls.
The Lessee having agreed to take £3,000 in cash, and 5.000
paid up shares, assigns all his interest in the mine,' inc udin,g
upwards of 160 acres of mineral ground—the previous out-
lay—mining buildings, smith's shop, offices, dressing floors,
bucking house, &c., immediate operations can therefore be:
commenced when, in the judgment of the Directors, sufficient
capital is subscribed.
Samples of the different ores taken from the mine, reports,
prospectuses, and forms of application for shares,' may e
obtained at the Temporary Offices of the Company ; and the
deposit paid on application will be returned if no allotment
be made to the applicant.
