DENMARK.

A summary of the proposals made by the Schleswig
deputies is given in the _Lieler Correspondenzblutt of
the 7111 inst., and runs as follows :
"1. Schleswig and Holstein are to have a common
Stadtheldr, but each of the two provinces will have
separate provincial boards.
2. The King of Denmark, acting in concert with the
present Stadtholders, appoints the nest Stadtholder and
the chiefs of the provincial boards.
•• 3. The King and the Stall! holder will publish an
electionary law, and two Diets, for Schleswig and fir
Holstein, will be elected according to the previsions of
this law. The Diet will have legislative power.
" 4. The Schleswig-Holstein army is to be reduced to'
the number of its federal contingent. It is to be main-
tained by the joint contributionF, cf the two Duchies.
" 5. The whole of Schleswig is to be occupied by Prus-
sian troops until the affairs of that duchy shall have come
to a definitive settlement.

" 6. This provisional state of things will continue until
a definitive arrangement shall have been come to respect-
inz s li the questions now pending between Denmark and
the Duchies."

THE HEALTH OF LONDON.
(From the Return of the Registrar-General.)
In the week encliog last Saturday the deaths re-
gistered in the metropolitan districts were 844; in
the previous week they were only 736. In the three
corresponding weeks of 1847-9 the deaths ranged
from 786 to 971 ; and taking the corresponding
weeks of ten years, the average is 861, or,
raised in the ratio of population, 939. The pre-
sent return, therefere, shows a decrease on the
average, equal 'to 95. With the increasing
warmth of the weather the mortality from diseesss
of the respiratory organs steadily declines. Ex-
cluding consumption, the deaths in this class in the
last four weeks have been successively 145, 138, 105,
and 94; and during this period the mean temperature
has risen gradually from 47 deg. to 59 deg. In the
same weeks the deaths from consumption have been
124, 125, 103, and 141, showing a sudden increase
iu the lest, and an approach to the corrected
average, which is 157. In the zymotic or epidemic
class of diseases 172 fatal cases are enumerated, hav-
ing been in the previous week only 130, and the ave-
rage being 201. Smallpox cerrieil off nine persons,
searlatina 19, and hooping-cough 25, the three epi-
demics still showing a decrease on the average.
Measler, however, which destroyed 26 children—an
amount differing little from the average—has sud-
denly increased en the previous week, when there were
only 12 deaths. Typhus also exhibits an increase, fir
while there were only 26 deaths in the former week,
there were 39 in the last, which, however, is not more
than usual at this period. Diarrhoea and dysentery
appear to become rather more prevalent ; in the last
three weeks they have numbered 13, 19, and 22. On
the 3.1 of June, the wife of an engineer, aged 61
years, died at 21, Chathain-piece, Lock's-fields, St.
Mary, Newington, of "vomiting and purging (12
days), exhaustion." On the sth of June, at Si, Turn-
mill-street, Clerken well, the daughter of a labourer.
aged 13 months, died of " cholera biliosa (12 hours) ;"
and on the 31st of May, at 38, Aske-street, lloxton-
Old-Town, the daughter of an engraver, aged 1 year,
died of "English cholera (2 days)." A man, of 36
years, who is described as having been habitually in-
temperate, died of "delirium tremens, apoplexy ;"
another fatal case of intemperance is also recorded.
Three children were suffocated in bed. It appears
from the classification of deaths in public institutions
that 93 occurred in workhouses, 59 in hospitals (of
which eight were in military and naval establish-
ments), and seven in lunatic asylums.
