HEALTH OF LONDON DUKING 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 .

reached Brentford many thousands of persons must have swelled the popular triumph . Favours of the winning colours were displayed on all sides , and flags and banners streamed from the windows ; the joy-bells of Brentford Church rang merrily , and the whole population seemed to have turned out on the highway , in the bright hot day , for a good look and a hearty cheer as Mr . Osborne and his colleague passed along . The cortege left the Eeform Club at a quarter to eleven o ' clock , and arrived at the Irastings a few minutes before 12 o ' clock ; but some slight delay took place in declaring the numbers , as the poll-books were not made up , though Mr . Sheriff Cotterell and his staff had been at work since
S' attteday , July 24 . THE GENERAL ELECTION . The procession of the Liberal members to the hustings at Brentford yesterday was a complete ovation . At ten o ' clock about 1000 persons were assembled in front of the Reform Club , most of them with oak or laurel leaves in their hats or button holes , waiting for the departure of Mr . Osborne , whose carriage , drawn by four greys , was in readiness at the door , with several other vehicles behind it . When the hon . member , accompanied by Mr . Hume , M . P ., and Mr . Phinn , M . P . ( for Bath ) , appeared , he was received with repeated bursts of cheering , and as the corthge drove along Pall Mall , up St . James ' s-street , and into Piccadilly , it was followed by many persons on foot , who hurrahed enthusiastically , as well as the pace would permit . All along the road from Kensington , through Hammersmith , Turnham-green , and Kew , into the town of Brentford , groups of people were assembled to greet the new members , especially Mr . Osborne , who seemed very popular with the women , many of whom displayed wonderful powers wind and limb in running along by the carriage to grasp his hand . At each of these points the procession was augmented by carriages , omnibuses , horsemen , and pedestrians , so that by the time it
eight o ' clock . The space in front of the hustings was densely crowded ; all the windows commanding a view of the scene were occupied , and several ladies braved the hea ^ nd the crush to hear the speeches in a seat provideTFfor them by the Sheriff . That the contest was a close one may be inferred from t he singular fact that in each of nine districts , and of 4-2 poll-books , the numbers for Lord Blandford and Mr . Osborne were exactly the same ! As Mr . Osborne stated below , Mileend gave him the victory . The official declaration of the poll was made soon after 12 o ' clock , amid loud and continued cheering and applause . It was as follows : — Lord R . Grosvenor 5241
Mr . R . B . Osborne ¦ . 4390 Marquis of Blandford 4258 Majority for Mr . Osborne . . 132 The Sheriff , with the usual formalities , declared that Lord II . Grosvenor and Mr . Osborne had been returned to Parliament . Lord Robert Grosvenor made a pleasant speech , and volunteered some explanations with regard to his conduct towards Mr . OHborne . He
said"A great many of my friends have writton to mo stilting that they regretted that I did not Btand what in called independently , as on formor occasions . ( Hour , from the supporters of the M ' arquia of Manelforel . ) 1 wish < o speak out my mind on that subject . I . am , as 1 stated before , a perfectly independent man , though t . hut tohis doubted ; but I wan sdeicted by the bond jido electors of Middlesex . I am exceedingly proud of that honour , and I am proud of it because 1 . behove they think mo a perfectly independent man . Coalition is not , I believe , favoured by metropolitan coiiHtifcuoncieH ; but wlion I saw tho present posture
of public ; affairs in this crisis , —abovo nil , having a most oxtremo dread of anything like a renewal of that religious animosity ( cheors ) which so painfully interfered with all othor measures during the lirnt eight yeurw of my political life , between 1822 and IBM ) , when we were struggling for Catholic Emancipation—knowing the miserable ooi » h « - quoncea which would How from tho introduction of religion into politics , I thought it my duty by no menus to interfere with the committee- of gentlemen who voluntarily formed themselves into that committee ) for tho purpose of securing tho return of two Freo-tnido members for Middlesex .
( CluicrH . ) He uIho told 11 neat unocdoto in renViiiieo to tho aHsert , ion of tlu > Times , that he had been reslurnod on account of bin great , family connexion : — " It is hardly necessary to observe that , in point of fact , I have no family intercut . Kvorybody known that London property gives it man no influence over Urn tenant whatever ; and it will rather amuso you to hear , that all the interest I have is in one tenant-farmer . ( A laugh , and a Voice : 'I hopo he is a Itatlicalr" ) When 1 went to canvass my friend in 1 H 17 , he received mo with a very grave facet , lie said , he had registered a vow in houven that he would not support a man who would not oppose ) the ) Maynooth grant ( applause ) ; and , accordingly , lie refused to voto for me ) . I quito forgot to turn him out of his farm . ( Ohoom . ) It wua n great oversight on my part . ( Laughtor . )
The circumstance having escaped my recollection , I went to him again this time . ' Happy to see your Lordshipthe vow ? ' ' What vow ? ' ' Oh , the vow about Maynooth . ' I beg your pardon ; I should not have troubled you if I had recollected . ' That , gentlemen , is the interest which I have in Middlesex . ( A Voice : ' But you won ' t turn him out , will you ? ' ) I think it unnecessary that I should answer that" question . ( Cheers . ) Allow me , gentlemen , to tell you what you have done . I hope you are satisfied . ( A cry of ' Yes . ' ) Everybody has got in ( cheers ) ; -we are ali in . You have gone and elected a Liberal of a slow school , and a Liberal of a fast school . ( A Voice— ' You must unite with him , then . ' )" Mr . Osborne , as usual , started with a dashing display of wit . He said : —
'' Fellow-countrymen , electors and non-electors of tho county of Middlesex , my noble colleague , who has just addressed you , has typified himself to you as a Liberal of the slow school , and has presented me to your notice as a Liberal of the fast school . ( Cheers and laughter . ) Well , gentlemen , you have heard Old Rapid with attention ; may I now claim your indulgence for Young Rapid . ( Cheers and laughter . ) And also , may I ask a patient and a kind hearing for the gentleman of the old school , in the patent safety cab , who follows us . ( Renewed cheers and laughter . )'' Aa to the tactics by which lie had been opposed , he said : —¦
" What have been the tactics of my opponents ? The fossil remains of an extinct monster have been disinterred ; the hoofs and horns of tho bugbear ' Popery' ( cheers ) have been exhibited to the public gaze , in order to scare the imaginations and prejudice the votes of the Middlesex electors . And what has been the consequence ? You were not to be deceived as to the real question at issue , and , though the most unscrupulous means have been used (' ' No ! no ! ' from the friends of the Marquis of Bland " ford , met by loud cries of' Yes ! yes ! ' and very vehement shouts from the High Constable of Uxbridgo of ' I can it take lacebut
prove it , if I die for . You may my p , you cannot take my life , ' which created some interruption , while Mr . Osborne begged the gentleman to 'keep as cool as I am ! ' ) Though , I say , most unscrupulous means have been used ( ' No , no ! ' ' Yes , yes ! ' &c ) , they have not been able to send me back to the bosom of my family . No , I am still with you . I am still ready to denounce them ( pointing to the Tory side ) , not before you , but in the Commons House of Parliament ; and I do congratulate myself , on looking back to the history of this country , that the cry which I regard as the last sigh of an extinct monster has failed on this occasion . ( Cheers . )
On free t rade he made some capital remarks , to the great annoyance of Lord Blandford ' s people" I say , then , be on your guard , keep your eyes on your members of Parliament . Tho big loaf is not safe yet . ( A Voice : ' Who dare cut it ? ' ) Why , the gentleman you made cut this place . ( Loud laughter and cheers . ) I say , then , beware of the present Ministry—of this mermaid Ministry , with the head of a man and with the tail of a fish ( laughter)—this Ministry , which looks one way and rows another ( cheers)—this Ministry , which , while pretending to pull to tho harbour of Free-trade , are slyly trying to make for the haven of Protection ( cheers and laughter ) ; and then you will be made to pay a duty to ' compensate * the agricultural interest . ( Cheers . ) So much for Free-Parliament not to be satisfied
trade . I tell you I go into with taking the taxes off corn , but I want to cheapen those things which aro necessaries to the poor man , but which arc luxuries to the rich . But it has been asserted of mo by some e > f the gentlemen who adorn tho bench of tho Middlesex magistracy ( ' Oh , oh ! ' )—now , mind , I am not going to say a word against you ; I think , on tho whole , you have conducted tho contest in a ikir spirit . ( Cheers . ) 1 don't wonder at your being a little angry ; dumb animals must show their heels . ( Jtoars of laughter . ) It has been said , however , ' Iiewuro of that Osborno ; he is a man of ultra-democratic ! tendency , ' and I liavo been rather surpriscd to find that I , who piquo myself on being rather a well-dressod man , am represented to you as being a sort of sans culottes . " ( Laughter . )
H ' m thanks to his friends were not the least graceful portions of his lmppy speech . " 1 cannot retire ; from these hustings without expressing my thanks to the fullest extent—my warm , heartfelt thanks to tho 4 ,: J ! M > electors , who at , great , sacrifice , at great loss of time {¦ Of trade' )—yes , of trade -with great exertions made to hinder them from voting ( ' Yes , yes ! ' cheers ) , came up to the poll and voted not , for me but , for the principles represented in my pea-son . ( Cheers . ) Still less e ; an J retire without naming one who bun nerved his country for d . 0 years , and to whom you all owe a deep debt of gratitude—thes man who newer yet gave a bad vote ; , who nan always been your friend anel the frienel of progress , — 1 mean Mr . Hume . ( Omit cheering . ) Why , on this occasion , the JVentor of reform was metumorphe » ned into its
Ae : hillcs ¦ - and ho was everywhere exhorting the tiiniel , rousing up the brave-, and travelling from Louelon lo Hrentford , and from lircntford to London , with voters in his carriage . ( Loud cheers . ) Can you forged , this Y ( ' Never . ' ) There is another name long nmieunbereel in this county , to whieli I wish to pa y my tribute ) of respoe-t , and of which the present hearer is in every way worthy- -I mean George Hyng , Lord Knlield . When I was cnlumni " uted at .
