      Appealed in a late number of the Leader , -which seemed to convey an idea that the society there referred to had its origin in , or was connected with , the HuddersBeld Mechanics' Institution ; -will you permit me to explain that no connection -whatever exists betwixt the two . Indeed , I have ever had too much respect for the fundamental rule of that institution to make it a medium for conveying any peculiar ideas of my own . In fact , only eight members of the Mutual Improvement Society are or ever have been members of the Mechanics' Institution , and the joining of the Mutual Improvement Society was with them a spontaneous act , and in no way influenced by any statement of mine .

      The publication of this disclaimer in your Journal will much oblige Your obedient servant , M . M . Nelson . [ Mr . Nelson's letter has been delayed for some time by an accident . The confusion was occasioned by a wrong heading , which was added by a pen in our office to Mr . Nelson ' s account of thte Mutual Improvement Society , and which set forth his statement as applied to the " Huddersfield Mechanics' Institution . " The error , therefore , is attributable to us , and to us alone ; and it ought not to have "been charged either upon Mr . Nelson or upon Mr . Morgan , who introduced his excellent letter to us . ]

      HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK . ( From the Registrar-General's Report . ) It is matter of regret that this return exhibits a condition of the public health in London still more unfavourable than was reported in the previous week . The widelydiffused illness , which has become the subject of common observation , produced in the week ending last Saturday 1401 deaths , a rate of mortality exceeding that which usually prevails at a season of the year more inauspicious than the present . The deaths rose to 12 L 3 in the middle of February , when the weekly increase began ; then , having declined to 1148 , they rose in the last two weeks to 1247 and 1401 . The epidemic influenza of 1847-8 ,

      which quickly-swelled the mortality of one week to more than 2400 , had nearly disappeared in March of the latter year ; but its effects were still vsible in the returns , and the number of deaths was then 1118 , the highest in the ten weeks ( of 1841-50 ) which correspond to that ending last Saturday . The average of the ten corresponding weeks was only 993 ; or , corrected for assumed increase of population , 1083 ; on which the present return shows an increase of 318 . Among diseases bronchitis has produced the greatest number of fatal cases ; 171 were attributed to this cause , the number in the previous week having been 1 G 0 , or double the usual amount at this time . Phthisis or consumption carried off 1 GG persons last week , while the corrected average isl /> 4 .
