correct, and war be declared, they will not be able
to obtain a supply of armour-plates from abroad. I
They are, therefore, erecting a mill at Co' near
Petersburg, and propose to have a second mill
built at once, that they may be able to produce
10,000 to 12,000 tons of armour : par year,
independent of all foreign aid. Th?.,e works, the
gun-works, and the large supply of teak, two
years' supply of coal for the fleet, and the extra
sums voted on account of the war expenditure
during the last six months, amount to about 55
millions of roubles above the ordinary expenditure,
say nine millions sterling ; and a further BUM is
demanded immediately of 40 millions of roubles
—say six millions sterling. This expenditure does
not include the extra sums laid out in clothing and
general commissariat stores. Flour has been very
largely bought for delivery in February and for
those places to which the ordinary route is by water
in spring ; extra prices are being paid for winter
delivery.

The Removal of St. Thomas's Hospital.

Tuesday afternoon a Special General Court of
the Governors of this hospital took place at the
London-bridge Railway Terminus Hotel, for the
purpose of hearing the report of the committee in
reference to the purchase from the Metropolitan
Board of Works of the land at Stangate, for the site
of a new hospital, at the price of £95,000, subject
to the approval at the Court of Chancery. Alder-
I man Sir J. Musgrove, Bart., presided, and the meet-
ing was most numerously attended.

After a short discussion, a deputation from St.
Olave's District Board of Works was admitted, and
Mr. SLEIGH, one of its number, presented a me-
morial, which was read, and in which it was prayed,
thast
ttahneghatoesf onital should not be removed to the site
at
the ground that the situation was
not only unfit but unhealthy, and that the removal
of the hospital there would be taking it away out of
the reach of the poor, for whose benefit it was ori-
ginally founded. The present temporary hospital
and site were much approved, as would be either a
site in the rear of Newington Church or at Bethle-
hem Hospital.
Further statements in support of the memorial
having been made, the deputation withdrew.
A deputation, headed by gr. Rendell, was then
admitted, representing the parishes on the south side
of London, and which prayed that the site at Stan-
gate should not be selected for the new hospital.
The argument need against such a selection com-
prised its healthy state as well as its being far re-
moved from where such a valuable institution was
most needed. It was further urged that it was
carrying it close to two other hospitals which were
fully equal to meet all cases. The deputation ap-
proved fully of the site at the Surrey Gardens or
those at the back of Newington Church and Beth-
lehem. Other evidence was given showing that
since the removal of the hospital to its present tem-
porary site the parochial medical relief had been
greatly increased, and the rates become heavier,
while the inconvenience to the sick poor was con-
siderably greater. In further support of the memo-
rial it was stated that out of 96 medical gentlemen
prantising on the south side of London 86 had ex-
pressed their total disapproval of the site at Stan-
gate.
After some discussion, the President stated that
the subject of the two memorials would receive
every attention.
The report of the committee comprised in the
minutes of the meetings since the 15th of July last,
as well as the articles of agreement relative to the
purchase of the site at Stangate, were then read,
and considerable discussion ensued with respect to
the relative merits of the different sites, when the
minutes were put and agreed to.
It was then resolved to further consider the ques-
tion at a future meeting, when the proceedings,
which had lasted upwards of four hours, terminated.

HEALTH OF THE METROPOLIS.

(From the Registrar-General's Weekly &turn.)

The present return exhibits a considerable in-
crease in the deaths of London. They rose from
1,270 in the first week of the current month to 1,457
in that which ended last Saturday. The deaths
under 20 years of age increased from 721 to 757;
those at 60 years and up wards, from 209 to 276.
The mean temperature of the air, which had been
49.8 deg. in the four weeks ending 7th November,
was last week 41.6 deg.
The average number of deaths in ten correspond-
ing weeks (viz., the 46th week in each of the years
1853-62) is, with a correction for increase of
population, 1,379. The excess in the actual number
over the estimated amount is therefore 78.

Fatal ctses of small-pox in the week were IS,
showing a gradual decrease. Those of scarlatina
121, 8 of which occurred in Camden-town and
Kentish-town, 7 in Islington West, 4 in St. George,
Bloomsbury, 4 in Kensington Town, 6 in West-
minster.

Fever is decidedly on the increase. Eighty-three
deaths, which include those from typhus, typhoid
fever, gastric fever, &c., are referred to typhus in
the tables. In October the weekly number ranged
from 51 to 62.

Out of 20 deathE in Rotherhithe, 2 were from
small-pox, 3 from scarlatina, 7 from typhus, 1 from
diphtheria.
Both the Small-pox and Fever Hospitals are
situated in the west sub-district of Islington. Four
deaths occurred in the former and 11 in the hitter
establishment. Bronchitis and pneumonia continue
to increase; they rose respectively to 167 and 117
deaths.

A widow died at the age of 91 years; another
at 96.

At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 29.791 in.
The mean daily reading was above 30 in. on three
days of the week. The reading fell to 29.19 in. on
Wednesday, and it rose to 31.14 in. on Friday. The
mean temperature of the air in the week was 41.6
deg., which is 2.5 deg. below the average of the
same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr.
Welsher). The mean daily temperature fell near
or below the average on five days. The night tem-
perature fell near or below the freezing point of
water on five days. The extreme range of tempera-
ture in the week was 25.2 deg. The mean daily
range was 12.9 deg. On Saturday the range was
5.6 deg. The difference between the mean dew
point temperature and sir temperature was 2.5 deg.
The mean degree of humidity of the air was 91,
complete saturation being represented by 100. The
",!-r was exceedingly moist on Sunday and Tuesday.
