      A Sight To He Seen! (Dit Kaiin's Museum....

      But having given this advice , which we do from the sincerest motives , we will add to it advice on the way in winch the opportunity should be used that real profit may result . " You should first carefully read some popular work on physiology ( at this moment we can Only think of the one published by the Useful Knowledge Society , and one by the Messrs . Chambers in their Educational Course , but there are doubtless several ); having done so , a long visit" or two to Dr . Kahn ' s rooms will give definite precision to your ideas of structure , and furnish a rudimentary knowledge of anatomy , such as no plates can give . This done , there still remainsthe far less accessible , and yet equally interesting subject of Embryology —a subject better illustrated in this Museum than in any other place we can name . There are seventy-seven preparations , and nearly one hundred wax models , besides several engravings . In popular works on Physiology , an absurd prejudice has unwarrantably excluded almost

      everything but vague generalities on the subject of the Embryo and ' t development ; you will therefore find yourself in a diffioulty with S ? these specimens . But Dr . Kahn here comes to your assistance . He L published an Atlas of the Formation of ' -the Human Boty , contain ™ sixty figures , and brief letter-press explanations . This work , which vof may either buy in the Museum itself , or at Mr . Churchill , the publisher ' s previous to your visit , will , after a little attention , enahle you to understand enough of the subject to give your visit a keen Interest and also to enable you to read more scientific and detailed works . ' The course we suggest is a little more serious than what i s de manded by other Exhibitions , but one week of moderate study , an d three or four visits to the Museum , will give such a general and precise concep tio n of the structure and functions of man ' s wondrous organis m as will be a " possession for all time , " an acquisition for life .

      Health Of London During The Week. The De...

      HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK . The deaths registered in London , during the week ending Saturday , September 3 rd , numbered 1029 , whilst the average of the corresponding weeks for the last ten years , not including the cholera in 1849 , was 950 . The mortality little exceeds the average raised in the same proportion as the increase of population . Cholera was fatal to 16 persons , viz ., 12 children and 4 adults . In the last 8 weeks from the week ending 16 th July , 3 , 6 , 9 , 4 , 19 , 10 , 18 , and 10 , deaths from cholera were registered . Diarrhoea in the same period was fatal to 54 , 73 , 81 , 110 , 139 , 126 , 137 , 152 persons , and shows a tendency to increase . The deaths from typhus , which in the preceding week were 37 , rose last week to 48 ; scarlatina has increased from 18 in the previous week to nearly double that number , namely , 32 deaths in the last week . The tubercular diseases and those of the heart and bloodvessels show but little variation in the mortality from that of the former week . 5 persons died in childbirth , 123 from consumption , 4 from aneurism , 4 from delirium tremens , and 2 from intemperance . Of the 1029 persons whose deaths are recorded , 520 were children under 15 years of age , 317 of the age of 15 to 60 , and 191 of the age of 60 years and upwards . The births in the week were 1582 , or 653 more than the deaths . At the Royal Observatory , Greenwich , the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29-732 in . The mean temperature of the week was 55 * 7 degs ., which is 3 * 3 degs . below the average of the same week in 38 years . The highest temperature of the week was 70 * 2 degs . on Tuesday ; the lowest was 45 -0 degs . on Saturday . The wind blew from the west and south-west during the first five days of the week , and from the north for the remainder : its horizontal movement averaged 13 0 miles a day . More than an inch of rain fell during the week ; of this large quantity for the season nearly half an inch fell on Thursday .

French Stock experienced a like fall , Paris and Strasbourg being quoted at one time at 36 J : and Paris and Lyons , 26 £ . A reaction , however , occurred later in the day , and the markets closed at advanced prices . The great fall on that day had been preceded during the week by a gradual decline in Funds and Stock . Consols were settled for the last account at 97- £ , the bears receiving as much as $ contango for carrying over to the next account on the 13 th October . Heavy money sales of Consols have been reported , effected , and very likely have been a cause of the fall noticed . The Gold Mining and Land Markets have been nearly deserted , and apparently only in speculative Stock has much business been transacted . The market opened yesterday with an improved appearance , Consols quoted at 96 | £ , afterwards 96 jj to 96 $ , and closing at 96 J and * for money , and 96 f for account 13 th October ; Exchequer Bills , 2 dis . and 1 pm . ; Caledonians , 64 j and 64 f ; Cork and Bandon , 18 , 19 ; Eastern Counties , 12 g , 13 |; East Lancashire , 70 % and 7 l £ ; Great Northern , 79 , 80 x . d . ; Great Southern and Western ( Ireland ) , 108 , 110 ; Great Westerns , 84 | , 85 J ; Lancashire and Yorkshire , 72 % and £ ; London and Blackwall , 8 J , -Jx . d . ; London and Brighton , 99 , 100 ( done at 994 ) ; London and North Western , 106 £ , 107 £ ; London and South Western , 81 , 2 ( done at 81 f ); Midland , 65 J , 66 i x . d . ; North London , 50 , 53 x . d . and x . n . ; North Western , 8 , 8 £ ; Oxford , Worcester , and .
