      Health Of London During The Week. In The...

      HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK . In the previous week that ended 10 th July , the deaths in London rose to 1080 ; in the week that ended last Saturday the temperature was rather lower , and the deaths declined to 921 . In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1842-51 the average number of deaths was 987 , which , with a correction for increase of population , becomes 1086 . The Return of last week therefore shows a mortality less than the estimated amount by 165 . The decrease above shown in the general result of last week as compared with that of the preceding Return , runs through all the important classes of disease , except epidemics , which maintain the same amount . For example , tubercular diseases , of which the principal is consumption ,

      have fallen from 221 to 192 , diseases of the heart , & c ., from 49 to 31 , diseases of the respiratory organs from 122 to 98 , diseases of the digestive organs from 74 to 47 . But the number of deaths referred to epidemics in the previous week was 215 , last week it is 213 . There would have been a decrease also in this class , but for diarrhoea and " fever , " which have become more active . The fatal cases of the former rose in the last two weeks from 31 to 48 , those of the latter from 38 to 53 . Scarlatina , on the other hand , has declined , the respective numbers being 59 and 31 . Smallpox carried off last week 21 children and 4 adults . Four deaths were registered in the week as caused by cholera .

      Saturday, July 17 The General Election. ...

      Saturday , July 17 THE GENERAL ELECTION . Most of our London readers know now that the Marquis of Blandford has been brought out to oppose Mr . Osborne , for Middlesex . The pretext for this opposition is the votes against the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill , which Mr . Osborne has g iven . The Carlton Club has raised the " No Popery" standard in Middlesex , and on that sham cry wish to return a Protectionist to Parliament . Lord Blandford says he has given up Protection ; but he has only given it up at the eleventh hour—that is , when he issued his address . Besides , Lord Blandford is a Tory , with a very weak head , and he would he the tool and the dupe of the Derby-Disraelites . Mr . Osborne last night very properly a _. sked , whether all questions of Reform were to be set aside by this no-popery cry ? That is what the electors of

      Middlesex have to consider . The Tory Ministry have defied the people . Mr . Disraeli calls reform " sedition . " Mr . Beresford points to the working-men and shopkeepers as a " vile rabble . " Sir Frederick Thesiger wishes that all who cry out for bread had a loaf stuck in their throats . These men are Ministers . Lord Blandford is a supporter of this Ministry of Absolutism under the veil of the Constitution . Are the electors of Middlesex prepared to return to the days of Castlereagh andLiverpool ? If theyare , Lord Blandford is their man . We need not speak of Mr . Osborne ' s claims . We need only point to the debates and proceedings in Parliament . There is a thorough understanding between him and Lord Robert Grosvenor , and all who go for one should go for the other . The nomination takes place to-day—the polling next week .

      Remember , the contest is between Order and Progress , and Persecution and Reaction . The most important nominations yesterday were Buckinghamshire , South Wilts , and . North

      Lincolnshire . The candidates for Buckinghamshire were Mr . Dupre , Derbyite , Mr . Disraeli , Mr . Cavendish , Whig Freetrader , and Dr . Lee , Radical . Not one of these gentlemen , except the Chancellor of the Exchequer , are of any general importance ; but we may mention that Mr . Dupre gave up the corn laws , and that Mr . Disraeli has made a positive declaration at last . "Gentlemen , we have been taunted to-day with tho usual question—are you a Free-trader or are you not ? I am almost surprised that the big loaf and the little loaf did not appear in position before us . ( A laugh . ) Gentlemen , the time has gone by when these exploded politics

      could interest tho people of this country . ( Loud cheers . ) No ono can suppose that the present administration havo any intention , or ever had any intention , of taxing the food of the people . ( Cheers , and cries of 'Tell me what Lord Derby says . ' ) You say , ' Tell mo what Lord Derby says . ' Gentlemen , I say no ono ever believed that they had any intention , or ever expressed an intention , to bring back the laws repealed in 184 ( 5 . ( Cheers and groans . ) Groans of assent to the _deelarittion I have made ! Why , gentlemen , I have never attempted , either in the House of Commons or out of it , to coneeal my _general feeling on that subject . I think that the laws which wero repealed in 184 ( 5 were repealed in panic and precipitation . I think

      that in tho haste of accomplishing what might be a necessary transition , tho interests of great classes of the community , and the interests of great clauses _nro in fact tho interests of tho community , for the community consists of Classen , _. »„ .,,. _, _„( / f ] u ] y considered . I , _# on ( lemon , have told you before , and T have said it in tho House of Commons years ago , that the moment you resolved to maintain the change that was then effected , you must make up _youtminds that you would , sooner or litter , have to consider the whole financial system of this country . ( Hear , hear . ) I have said in tho House of Commons , as 1 havo said

      frequently in tho county of Huckingham for yearn past , that you hod it financial system in this country which was based on a protective system ; that it * you destroyed tho protective system , you must consider tho ( inaneiul system which was its corollary and its creature . Well , gentlemen , these are my principles ( cheers ) , which I have , under great difficulties , encountered even from many who are members of my own party , always advocated - — principles which 7 recommended in opposition , and which , as a minister of tho crown , I ( unprepared to put in prnctico ( cheers . )" On another point of great interest , he said : —

      "Gentlemen , T . look at the present , an forming no . mean epoch in the political history of this country . Do not suppose that when the new Parliament _ussembloH you will have anew marshalled before each other the old parties who have hitherto governed the empire . You will have new principles of action introduced , you will have new policies founded on those principles recommended to tho notice ol tho House of Commons , and you will find at least that it is possible , notwithstanding all tho passions of party hatred , that a Ministry-great an maybe the difficulties with which it had to contend when it , was first formed—a Ministry which understands — I will repent tho phrase — the spirit of the age -can govern it great country like thin by considering the interests of the whole community , and adopting a policy that will make if , if possible , more powerful and _prosporoiw than before . ( Cheers . )"

      Saturday, July 17 The General Election. ...

      But when asked to state the specific measures which it was intended to propose , he started off into splendid generalities , as is his wont , and endeavoured to secure support by inflamingcuriosity and provoking expectation . " I will tell you tho spirit of the policy which animates us , and the objects we wish to attain ; and I will express my firm conviction that , witness the present temper of tho public mind , reckoning even with no prejudice the results of the general election—I will express my firm , conviction , in the lace of the count y of Buckingham , that the Ministry will be permitted to bring forward their measures , that no manoeuvres of faction will terminate their career , and that those measures will obtain the consent , and I will even say the enthusiastic approbation of the great body of tho people . ( Hear , ' and cheers . )"

      - The nomination , which was a spirited affair , came off in the Aylesbury Town Hall , and terminated in tho election , by show of hands , of Mr . Disraeli , Mr . Dupre , and Mr . Cavendish . Dr . Lee demanded a poll . South Wilts was troubled with four candidates—Mr . Sidney Herbert , Mr . Wyndham , and two Mr . Longs , one of whom was not to be found , and even his proposer did not know where he was . The scene of the nomination was Salisbury . The Mr . Longs had nothing to say of imperial interest ; Mr . Wyndham is a new man ; and Mr . Herbert confined himself almost entirely to Maynooth and Protection . Having declared that he was in favour of the grant , and having pointed out that if one endowment is withdrawn , all must be withdrawn , he fearlessly made some remarks on religious equality , which will be read with great interest .

      " I yield to no man in my adherence to Protestantism ; but I say that , because I am a Protestant , I wish that others should enjoy the same freedom as myself . ( Hear , hear . ) Why , I know more about this question of Popery than half the people who bawl at me about it . ( A Voice : 'No doubt of it . ') I have travelled through countries where the Government—as in the States of Italy—is entirely in the hands of the priesthood , and I know that there is no form of government so detestable as theirs . Their argument is this : —They say , ' We know what the truth is , and therefore we will not allow any man to hold

      it to be error . ' Well , then , I say , after denouncin g that principle ourselves , are we going to imitate it ? . Are we to say , that we consider ourselves to be Protestants , but yet to act on what I venture to call Popish principles ? ( Cheers . ) I want freedom for every man to hold his opinions , whether they be in conformity with , or in opposition to , those of the Church of England . He has a right to hold them , and wo have no right , in my opinion , to debar him from exercising full political and civil privileges . " Upon the questions of Free-trade , on agricultural improvement consequent on the withdrawal of Protection , and on what "' looms in the future , " he had also

      something to say : — " Many have told you that protection would be restored ! I never said so . I knew it was impossible , and I at once refused to bo any party to a deception such as that , for a deception it has been , which has only protracted a useless struggle , and by which in my conscience I believe no class has suffered so much as the class of the tenant-farmer himself . ( Hear , hear . ) But let mo say this , that thoso who two years ago said that tho tenant-farmer could make no eifort , could not go without crutches , and so on , have made a thorough mistake ; because I am bound to say , that never in the memory of man has agriculture so improved as it , has done within tho last few years . I must say that , those even who complained most bitterly ot

      the change set their shoulders to the wheel like men , and have by their increased exertions taken immense strides towards improving their own condition , and havo done infinite credit to their profession . -Well , now , ( his question is happily sot at , rest , and there will , 1 hope , be no further attempts to delude men into relying upon acts of parliament for tho prosperity of their business ; and _dnpend upon it no branch of industry can wifely rely upon tho caprices of the popular will , or upon the provisions of enactments of the legislature ; it i . s to its own energies , industry , and enterprise , that it , must I rust ,, and then no doubt , it , will nourish .

" I have been through many countries , and I never saw anything so strange _itw an " untaxed foreigner" ! ( Laughter . ) 1 have seen the foreigner ground down by . tuxes which we would not endure Cor an

      hour—I have seen him struggling against taxes which we should not be able fo bear up agnin . st in some branches ol industry ; but in the whole range of tbe globe there is no animal fo bo found so fabulous there i . s nothing ever imagined b y the poets so utterly fictitious and unreal us such a prodigy as the ' untaxed foreigner . ' ( Cheers and laughter . ) Well , gentlemen , bill , you know that we have hud a large remission of taxation , and yet wo have kept up Iho amount of our revenue . I will tell you what looms in the future a large remission in tho siime direction . 1 hope , that ultimately you will have cheaper lea , cheaper soaj ) , and all other luxuries and necessaries cheaper ; and I trust al , tho same time that wo shall keep up tho rcveinio in its present , nourishing condition , which bus remained exactly the same iu amount , although every year largo reductions of taxation have been made .
