Eccenti is Calculations.

Very recently the Pall-Pall Gazette published the
following calculations drawn up by a correspondent
upon the subjoined pair of triple coincidences be-
tween the figures of dates affecting the life of Louis
Philippe and the same dates affecting the life of Louis
Napoleon :

It has since been remarked by another of our
contemporaries, that in "The Prisoner of Ham," by
F. T. Briffault (Newby, 1846), at page 353, there
appears the following :
A curious calculation has been made with respect
to three great political events—the fall of Robe-
spierre, that of Napoleon, and that of Charles X. :

If so, says a correspondent of the Times, who
signs himself Zadkiel, Junior—" Then from 1848
to 1869 would be exactly 21 years—a period just
equal to 1794 to 1815 ; in other words, the rise and
fall of Napoleon I. and 111. would be included in
that ordinary term of years, a 21 years' lease."

HEALTH OF THE METROPOLIS.

(Front the Registrar-General's Weekly Report.)

In the week that ended on Saturday, March 17,
the births registered in London and 12 other large
towns of the United Kingdom were 4,582; the
deaths registered, 3,983. The annual rate of mor-
tality was 34 per 1,000 persons living.
In London the births of 1,140 boys and 1,078
girls, in all 2,218 children, were registered in the
week. In the corresponding weeks of ten years-
-1856-65— the average number, corrected for in-
crease of population, was 2,174.
The deaths registered in London during the week
were 1,738. It was the 11th week of the year ; and
the average number of deaths for that week is, with
a correction for increase of population, 1,511. The
mortality of the week was heavy, for it exceeded the
computed number by 227 deaths. But though the
deaths are very numerous, they exhibit a decrease
of nearly 100 on those of the previous week, in
which the number rose to 1,829. Phthisis was re-
turned in 219 cases, the corrected average being
183 ; bronchitis in 267 cases against an average of
184 ; pneumonia in 111 cases against an average of
106. The deaths at 60 years of age and upwards
were 417, almost the same number as that of the
previous week ; while the deaths of young persons
showed a decline. It is evident from these facts that
the late change of temperature had an unfavourable
effect on the public health, especially among adults
suffering under pulmonary complaints.
Fatal cases of smallpox and measles rose in the
week ; the former to 28, the latter to 60.

A boy, aged 17 years, died on the 2d inst., at 9,
Bates-terrace, W andsworth-road, from. cold and
exposure and want of food acting on a diseased con-
dition of body and brain.
A labourer, aged 30 years, died in the workhouse,
Lambeth, from taznia ; phthisis.
The widow of a ground labourer died on March
11, at 30, Salisbury-street, Marylebone, of diseased
heart, dropsy, at the age (as registered) of 106
years. Mr. Wilson, the registrar, writes as fol-
lows :—" This woman was a Creole, a native of
Jamaica. The informant had always during 20
years heard her state her age in accordance with
that now recorded. There appears, however, to be
no written evidence, and her relations are all dead."
The following three deaths by carriage accidents
in the streets were registered in the week :—The son
of a stationer's porter, aged six years, run over by a
horse and cart ; killed instantly in Princes-street,
Lambeth. A tailor, aged 30 years, fell from a dog-
cart ; died, on March 13, in the German Hospital.
The daughter of a carpenter, aged two years, run
over by a van; died, March 6, in Winchester-street,
Clerkenwell.

The annual rate of mortality last week was 30
per 1,000 in London, 38 in Edinburgh, and 31 ill
Dublin ; 40 in Bristol, 30 in Birmingham, 57 ill
Liverpool, 39 in Manchester, 30 in Salford, 37 111
Sheffield, 38 in Leeds, 34 in Hull, 26 in Newcastle-
upon-Tyne, and 35 in Glasgow. The rate in
Vienna was 37 per 1,000 during the week ending
the 10th inst., when the temperature was 5.8 deg.
Fahrenheit higher than in the same week in London,
where the rate was 31 per 1,000.
The continued excessive mortality in Liverpool
calls for special remark; the annual rate of mortality
whichin the previous week had been 55 per 1,000.
rose last week to 57. During the past eleven week°
of the present year the rate has averaged 45. The
530 deaths returned last week, which exceeded the
corrected average weekly number by 249, included
132 from zymotic diseases, of which 45 were re'
ferred to typhus, 36 to whooping-cough, and 12 to
scarlatina. 206 of the deaths resulted from disease°
of the lungs, including phthisis.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 29.396111.
The barometric pressure was 30.23 in. on Sunday'
and itlifell to 28.97 in. on Saturday. The mean
temperature of the air in the week was 30.3 deg.'
which is 2.2 deg. below the average of the saute
week in 50 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher)*
The mean daily temperature was below the averget
on the first five days, and on Wednesday the defeev
was equal to 9.4 deg. The thermometer fell beri°,o
the freezing point of water on three nights.
difference between the mean dew-point temperatur,
and air temperature was 6.4 deg. The mean de,
gree of humidity of the air was 78, complete sat
tion being represented by 100. The rain meastireA
was 017 in., all of which fell on Saturday.

18.5 deg. on Wednesday, on which day the tenlPe
rature of the air fell to 25.7 deg.

AUSTRIA AND PRUSSIA.—We have reason to bue;
lieve that the telegraphic news published yesterday,
effect that, since Sunday, declarations of a reassuring c'.",
ratter have been received from Berlin by the Austria
Government, and that the apprehensions of war bets
the great Gorman Powers have been removed,
incorrect. The relations between the two POPOV C°
