RAILWAY TOAST.—The toast among the great
gamblers in railways is " Success to swindling!"
STATISTICS OF EUROPEAN CAPITALS.—The capi-
tal of Great Britain has a population estimated at 2,000,000
of souls, exclusive of strangers. Strange to say, and we could
hardly credit the fact, if it was not credibly demonstrated,
the number of beds in tke London hospitals is not in pro-
portion with that of the other capitals of Europe, comparatively
to their respective populat ions. The London hospitals only contain
5,000 beds. Its mortality amounts yearly to 45,000 inhabitants,
or to 123 daily. In 1800 the population of that metropolis
was only 1,200,000 souls, the mortality 22,000, and the number
of beds 4,350. Thus, whilst the population and mortality
increased, in the last forty-five years, by nearly one-half,
the number of beds in the hospitals augmented by one-
seventh. There exist, it is true, in London a number
of charitable institutions, and many manufactures have in-
firmaries, in which the workmen who Pave not the means
of being attended at home, or who dislike entering hospitals,
find medical relief. The population of Paris now exceeds
900,000. The number of beds in the hopitals is 10,000,
and the mortality, as compared with that of London, nearly
the same, or 60 per day. The population of Vienna is
330,000 souls ; the number of beds in the hospitals 5,700, and
the annual mortality 17,000. At Berlin, the population is
365,000 inhabitants ; the number of beds 3,000, and the
annual mortality 9,000. At St. Petersburg, the population
is 476,000 inhabitants ; the number of beds in the hos-
pitals 6,000; and the annual mortality 11,000. At Warsaw
the population is 150,090; and the number of beds in the hos-
pitals 4,000. It results from those returns that Paris is, after
London, the capital offering the smallest proportion of beds in
the hospitalso,— Courrier Francais.
