over to a committee , who could bring up a Summary Report of them all , which w ould be a very valuable guide to the assembly . We have lately seen that the reports made at some of the later Conventions have been called in question . One man denies this , another denies that—then the reporter is appealed to , who , perhaps , not be ing half paid , did not take a verbatim report , or , if he took it , has not kept it . When the delegates come to discussion then , the speeches may be impromptu and spontaneous , but in reporting facts there wants no garniture of rhetoric . Completeness and accuracy are the things needed ; and as the facts relate to others more than the speaker , it is but a suitable tribute to them to take some pains to write down a genuine report of their instructions , condition , and efficiency . Further usefulness will arise if this assembly will confine itself to its own business . Even the late Manchester Conference , which made some pretension to improvement , indulged in perpetual digressions to reflect on other parties , which showed a want of independent strength and dignity . Chartism has almost talked itself down by its exaggeration . A fierce , blustering , hectoring speech is deemed a great deed of patriotism . There is still a lingering opinion that this mode of speaking is effective and damaging to the government . It unfortunately happens that it is damaging to nobodv but ourselves . When Henry Hunt wa « on his Trial before Lord Ellenborough , Hunt remarked that " his opponents complained of his dangerous eloquence . " " They do you great injustice , " quietly remarked the judge . The same may be said of a great deal of the " dangerous eloquence " expended in the Chartist cause . As any attempt to prohibit the exercise of the indignant faculty would be deemed an infringement of Chartist liberty , we may , perhaps , be able to regulate what we cannot eradicate . In some melodramas where there is much taging and screaming , I often pray that all could be brought into a separate act , whicli might be called the " Screaming Act , " in which we could have it all at once and have done with it . In the same manner , we might appoint at the Convention a Committee of " Blood and Thunder , " with Mr . Ernest Jones < . for chairman . They should have a day to themselves with boundless liberty to write their own addresses , pass their own resolutions , and make their own speeches , of any hue and of any length they pleased . Then this sort of thing should be considered as over and done with , and the Convention might proceed to business in a sober way . I ° -

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK . ( From the Registrar-General ' s Report . ) The official report says : — " The aggravated rate of mortality in London , which marked the first two weeks of the current month , has prevailed without abatement in the period embraced by the present return , ine deaths , which increased to 1247 in the beginning ot March , and subsequently rose to 1401 , amounted in the week ending last Saturday to 1412 . Taking for comparison the ten corresponding weeks of 1841-50 , it appears that the highest number was 1197 , and occurred in 184 & ( in a week when the mean temperature had fallen about ten degrees lower than usual ) , and that the average mortality was 997 . This average , if corrected according to
the supposed rate of increase in the population , amounts to 1088 , and the increase above it exhibited in last week 8 return is 324 . The sickness which now prevails is common , as already shown , to all periods of life ; but it deserves notice that , whereas the total mortality returned in either of the last two weeks is nearly the same , the deaths of young persons under 15 years shows a decrease from 593 ( in the week ending 15 th March ) to 566 last week , while those which occurred in the middle period of life rose from 442 to 456 , and those in the still more advanced stage ( or above 60 years ) rose from 365 to 390 . In the last week , the deaths attributed to influenza—simply , or in conjunction with bronchitis , inflammation of the lungs , disease of the heartor other malady—are 65 ; in the previous week
, they were 39 ; whilst the average of corresponding weeks does not exceed 8 . The cases classed under bronchitis have decreased from 171 to 156 . and are still at least double the average ; those from pneumonia or inflammation of the lungs remain about 125 , whilst the average does not exceed 87 . The cases ascribed in the Table to asthma are 39 , which is also more thau usual ; phthisis or consumption numbers 166 in both weeks , while the average , though corrected for increased population , is less than 160 . Hooping-cough carried off 81 children , while the average number in corresponding weeks is 48 ,
and croup 12 . Amongst the epidemics , besides hoopingcough , that are incident to childhood , measles show some disposition to prevail ; but it is satisfactory to observe that smallpox is less fatal than it was a few weeks ago , and has declined to 16 deaths . Instances of the neglect of vaccination , or of determined opposition to it , are still subject of complaint on the part of those whose professional aid is required in the treatment of the disease . Last week the births of 824 boys and 756 girls , in all 1580 children , were registered . The average of six corresponding weeks in 1845-50 was 1431 .
