Lord Palmerston was examined on the merits of the
Launceston and South Devon Railway Bill, the preamble
of which was also passed.

The bill of the Norwich and Spalding [Railways, for an
extension of their line to IV isbeach, was rejected.
The other bills forwarded a stage were those in the An-
dover and Redbridge Committee; in the Barnsley Coal,
and the Bradford, Wakefield, and Leeds Railway Com-
mittees.

Yesterday the bill of the Spalding and Bourn Railway,
for connecting the Norwich and Spalding, and Bourn and
Essendine, and the Great Northern Railways, was passed
in committee. The bill of the Kington and Eardisley, for
a line between those places and for vesting in the company
the Kington Railway, was approved and passed. The bill
of the Bradford, Wakefield, and Leeds, for deviations, was
thrown out, and that of the Leeds, Bradford, and Halifax,
for a line in substitution of their Batley branch, was passed.
Further evidence was adduced in the committees on the
Crystal Palace and South Junction Railway, and on the
Great Western and Andover and Redbridge Railways.
The evidence in favour of the Barnsley Coal Railway Ex-
tension was continued, and the clauses of the Weymouth
and Portland Railway Bill were considered and settled.

HEALTH 01? LONDON DURING THE WEEK.

(From the Registrar-General's Weekly Return.)

The returns for London for the week that ended last Sa-
turday exhibit a decrease on the high mortality of the pre-
vious week. The deaths last week were 1,423. The average
number corrected for corresponding weeks in 10 years 1852-
61 is 1,408. The actual mortality differed little from the
amount as obtained by calculation from the returns of for-
mer years for the second week in March.

The deaths from typhus are still very numerous, though
the number is not quite so high as that of the previous
week. They rose in that week to 123 ; they were last week
108, Twelve of these occurred in the London Fever Hos-
pital. There were 4in the sub-district of St. Marylebone ;
there were also 4 in that of St. Mary, St. George-in-the-
East. The Eastern division of London appears to be that
in which the fever chiefly prevails. There were 49 deaths
from scarlatina, 6 of which occurred in the Vest sub-dis-
trict of Islington; and therewerel9 from diphtheria.
