(Prom the Report of the Registrar-General.)
The deaths registered in London, which had been
in the first week of January 1,135, and in the last
week of the same month 1,200,, rose in the week
that ended last Saturday to 1,368. In the years
1847-56, the average number of deaths in the weeks
corresponding with last week was 1,180. If this
,average is raised for the purpose of comparison,
proportionally to increase of population, it Will
becomel,29B ; and hence it appears that the rate
of mortality which prevailed last week was higher
than the average rate in the beginning of Feb. '
The increase, which the present return shows, 'on
the deaths in Jan., arises from the recent depres-
sion of temperature, which commenced. towards the
end of that month, and continued till near the end
of last week. The weather was generally mild in
the first three weeks of the year. The mean tem-
perature was 37 deg. In the fourth week it fell to
31.2 deg., and last week it was 32.3 deg. ; and on
two days since the 28th ult. it has been 12 deg.
below the average.
The deaths from diseases of the respiratory or-
gans, the clan which more than others rite-
falls with the fluctuations of heat and cold, rt,..,z is
week to 859 ; they had been for tome previous
weeks about-280. The average of this cor-
rected for increase of population, for ten weeks cor-
responding with last week, is 285. 'The deaths from'
bronchitis in the last four weeks were 170, 164,
166, and 224. -The increase of pneumonia in the
last week is much less considerable. PhthisAs,
which was fafal in the previous week in 146 cases,
numbered last week 184. Hooping-cough carried
off 61 children and, as regards the extentto which
it was fatal, showed little change on recent weeki.
A child died of hooping-cough at 2, Churcb.-Court,
Westminster, being the fourth fatal case of this
complaint in the same house. Four children died
or measles in the Marylebone workhouse ; the total
number of deaths from this disease was 38. Only
3 deaths from small-pox were registered last week
in London.

The deaths of four nonagenarians were returned ;
the two eldest of these aged persons, namely, 'a
widow in Queen-street, Ratcliffe, and a lady in
Southampton-row, had attained the age of 96
years.

Last week the births of 976 boys and 915 girls,
in all 1,891 children, were regist9red in London.
In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1847-
156 the average number was 1,620.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 29/62 ilk..
The lowest reading in the week was 29.41 in. ; the
highest occurred on Wednesday, •and was 30.14
The mean temperature of the week was 32.3
which is 51 deg. below the average of the same
week in 43 Tars. The mean temperature of Sunday
(Ist), was 24.5 deg., which is 12/ deg: below the
average of the same day. The lowest temperature
on Sunday, which was also the lowest in the week,
was 20 deg. The mean daily tempere,ture conti-
nued below the average till Friday, on which day
it was 42.2 deg. The highest reading in the week
was obtained on Friday, and was 47.7 deg. The
range of temperature in the week was 27.7 deg.
The mean dew-point teinperature was 29 deg., and
the difference between this and the mean air tem-
perature was 3.3 deg. The wind blew at the be-
ginning of the week generally frd'm the south-east,
on Wednesday from the north-east, and on the last
three days from the south-west.- Scarcely any rain
fell. On Monday and Wednesday there was snow,
but of small amount.

SIR BENJAMIN BALL AND ME ELEC-
TORS OF MA HYLEBONE.

A public meeting of the electors of Marylebone, spe-
cially convened by circular and public advertisement, at
the instance of the " United Parochial and Political As-
sociation of the Borough of Marylebone, was held on
Monday evening last, at the Colosseum Hotel, Portland-
road, for the purpose of considering the following reso-
lution :

" That this meeting, deprecating the language which
has been recently used by an individual on public occa-
sions towards the senior representative of this borough,
unanimously expresses the admiration in which Sir Ben-
jamin Hall is held by the electcra now present, and takes
this opportunity to testify their admiration of his con-
duct, not only as their representative awl as the friend.
of local self-government, but also in the administration
of the important public offices which he has so honour-
ably and so admirably filled, as well as to recognise the
influence of Sir Benjamin Hall's success as an adminis-
trator in promoting the principles of reform."
The large room of the hotel was densely crowded,
and many were unable to obtain admission. Amongst
the gentlemen present were Mr. Nicholay, Mr. Jacob
Bell, Mr. Win. Field, Whitmore, George, Bridgman,
Poland, d'lffanger, Dr. Bachhoffaer, M'Evily, Hodges,
Farrar, and several other influentia electors.
Mr. FIELD occupied the chair.

Mr. BRINSMEAD moved and Mr. FARRAR seconded the
resolution, and extolled the conduct of Sir B. Hall.
Mr. HALLAM moved and Mr. C. GEORGE seconded the
following amendment :—" That, in the opinion of this
meeting, it is the privilege of every elector freely to can-
vass the public acts of his representative in Parliament,
and that on the present occasion it is not necessary to
express any opinion upon the public conduct of the Right
Hon. Sir B. Hall."
Mr. HODGES supported the original resolution.
Mr. D'IFFANGER neither liked the resolution nor the
amendment. (Laughter.) The first was too severe upon
Mr. Nichelay, the second not sufficiently complimentary
to Sir B. Hall

Mr. DYKE also supported the resolution.
Dr. BACHHOFFNER thought a public apology due from
Mr. Nicholav to Sir B. Hall.

great cause to complain of the injudicious zeal of some
of hie friends in dragging him before the public by this
ill-timed resolution. His (Ur. Nicholay's) policy had
ever been to magnify the popular acts of Sir Benjamin
and throw a cloak over his uepopular ones. That he
had done so was evident from many circumstances. Did
not Sir B. Hall, he would ask, oppose the people by
voting with the ministers against the opening of the
Crystal Palace on Sunday l— (hear, hear)—and, again,
did he not vote against Mr. Roebuck's motion for the

by the severest censures, but he did not do so. Alter

Tbis report—of which we do not believe one
word—has obtained such publicity, principally, as
we have shown, through the columns of our oppo-
nents, as to render some reply necessary ; and we
proceed to give it, although we are firmly convinced
that the report merely owes its origin to the net'
unnatural agreement of two statesmen, otherwise
r;noset that faith should be kept with the nation
regard of the pledge oiveh. that the income tax
should terminate in 1360. Having made this pro-
viso, we proceed to make some observations upon
the probable effects of the supposed junction, from
the ConserVitive Vointzof view, setting forth what
we conceive to be not oily the impolicy, but prac-
tically the impossibility of such a junction.
We have the authority Of one ,:of the supposed
contracting .parties, that " EiiiTand loves not
coalitions," and certainly her experience of the last
two has not bcen such as to increase her affection,
for such ill-omened associations.

It is to be presumed that this new coalition, so
to call it, could'only arise from the mutual anxiety
of the eminent persons principally interested to re-
turn to office on almost any terms. In every such
arrangement there must be at least two contracting
parties, and we can easily believe that the Peelite
leader has obtained his own. consent ; in fact, we
agree, with the Examiner that Mr. Gladstone is be-
coming exceedingly tired of-what our contemporary
terms his " political batchelorhood ;" in other
words, that state of isolation which threatens him
and his friends with permanent exclusion from
office and its enjoyments. •
- There is, however, another power whose consent
is absolutely necessary—namely, the Conservative
party as a whole. Will such consent be given ?
We believe not. -
Let us not beiuisunderstood. We are as anxious
as any can be to see the return of our friends to
office, but we:are equally anxious that such return
should be. permanent and secure, We have no
wish to tee them in office if not in power, and we
specially deprecate any temporary arrangement
which would have the effect of I:ringing them hack
to the Treastry benches, if.such restoration were to
be followed by speedy ejectment and great loss of
character.

We return to the phrase, the Conservative patty
as a whole, for it brings us at once to the question
of practicability. Few will deny that in case of
the junction in question taking .place, nothing less
than the undivided strength of both Conservatives
and Peelites would be necessary to maintain it is
place.

Now, the immediate point at issu3 is, how far
the support of the -whole party can be relied on ?
The Conservative body, as our readera must be
aware, although agreeing in all main points, is in a
certain degree divided, at least so far as that each
of its different sections give a greater importance to
certain portions of the common creed than is
allowed by the others. _

One portion, it is evident, look .o •the religious
or Protestant part as that entitled to predominance.
A second considers that more importance should
be given to the support of the landed constitution of
the country.
While a third may be said to look more especially
after the commercial and financial policy of the
empire.

gow, let us see on which of these three ques-
tions Mr. Gladstone can claim the support of their
respective adherents.

Surely it cannot be supposed that a gentleman
who is well known for his Purvey to leanings, and
who supported and comforted Caidinal Wiseman at
the period of the Papal aggression, can possibly
expect the support of the religious section of the
Conservative party. We have reason to believe
that an appeal to the constituency at Oxford would
place this matter beyond a doubt. It is stated, to
be sure, that the right hon. gentleman would return
to office as a zealous Protestant ; but in our eyes,
this, if true, would only convey that there is
nothing he would not do to effect so desirable an
object.

Again, the whole landed aristocracy is suffering
under the succession duties, which, sooner or later,
must break up all estates, as certainly as that effect
would have been produced by the repeal of the law
of primogeniture.
This body, it must ba remembered, contains, not
only the titled landowners, but the still older and
more widely extended aristocracy known as the
landed gentry.
Surely Mr. Gladstone •cannot expect any very
cordial support from those men whose interests he
avowedly sacrificed to relieve certain classes from
the income tax who should bear ir, whilst there is
an income tax.

Next, let us con4der the feeling of those who
chiefly look to his financial and commerci;'l ante-
cedents. No man can doubt that Mr. Gladstone
must pursue in both cases the carrying out of that
Manchester policy of whi h he has always been the
chief exponent, and can hardly expect the support
of Conservatives in such an object. Moreover,
Manchester, is not, at the present moment, iu such
a flourishing state as to render her a very desirable
ally. There are two things now pretty well under-
stood which will in future make an extension of the
Manchester policy, to which we hold Mr. Gla Istqne
irrevocably pledged, impossible. Tile first is, that
the masses are at last beginning to find 'out that
free trade has not given them the promised big loaf ;
the second, that her wicked connivance in the
maintaining the worst evils of slavery to secure
cheap cotton has produced a state of things which we
always foresaw—namely, that the reed upon which
she leant would break and pierce her side.
In fact, the American slave states can supply the
staple of trade no longer ; and this alone will ren-
der a return to a Conservative system of policy in-
evitable, even if England had not expressed from
end to end her determination no longer to submit
to direct taxation. How in these circumstances,
we ask, are Conservatives to supfort Mr. Glad-

stone 7
We have entered into this question at some
length, because, although firmly convinced that the
junction in question would he suicidal, we consider
that, to avoid dispute and personal recrimination,
it would be better to prove that it would be found
impracticable.
