It appears from the Registrar-General's return that in
the week that ended on Saturday, 4,353 births and 2,664
deaths were registered in London and in thirteen other
large towns of the United Kingdom. The annual rate
of mortality was 22 per 1,000 persons living. The annual
rate of mortality last week was 19 per 1,000 in London,
19 in Edinburgh, and 25 in Dublin ; 19 in Bristol,
17 in Birmingham, 26 in Liverpool, 23 in Manchester,
29 in Salford, 24 in Sheffield, 29 in Bradford, 21
in Leeds, 24 in Hull, 19 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne,
and 29 in Glasgow. The rate in Vienna was 37 per
1,000 during the week ending the 30th ult., when the mean
temperature was 14.4 Fahrenheit higher than in the same
week in London, where the rate was 20. The death-rate in
Sheffield shewed a considerable decline upon the three pre•
vious weeks, but measles was again fatally prevalent in
many parts of the town, and two more deaths were re-
ferred to unvaccinated small-pox. In London the births of
1,042 boys and 974 girls, in all 2,016 children were regis-
tered in the week. In the corresponding weeks of ten
years (1858-G7) the average number, corrected for increase
of population, is 2,005. The deaths registered in London
during the week were 1,160. It was the twenty-third
week of the year, and the average number of deaths for
that week is, with a correction for increase of population,
1,249. The deaths in the present return are less by 89

THE JUDICIAL DISAGREEMENT.

The following correspondence has been sent to the papers
by Lord Chief Justice Cockburn :

" Westminster Hall, June 9, 1868.

"My dear Justice Lnsh,—Observations having been
made, of which on the present apparent state of the facts
I cannot complain, with reference to the share I may have
had in bringing about the unfortunate misapprehension
which has occurred in the case of ' Reg. v. Eyre,' and re-
ference having been made by Mr. Justice Blackburn to a
paper in which he embodied the substance of the law he
intended to lay down to the grand jury, and that paper
having been handed to you, I am induced to trouble you
on the subject.

"The paper in question I never saw; and the reason
was that, on my coming into the room where the other
judges were assembled, Mr. Justice Blackburn, in the
presence of you all, referring to the fact that he had given
you such a paper, proceeded to tell me verbally what he
had therein stated as the law to be laid down : in other
words, stated in terms the proposition, the substance of
which I repeated in my observations made in court yester-
day, with, as I understood him, an intimation that it was all
that it would be necessary to lay down on the present
