results following the abrogation of special patrician privileges which has stimulated our commercial prosperity , and led the wealthy , both of town and country , to co-operate with a cordiality never before witnessed in the promotion of objects calculated to perpetuate the general prosperity , and to alleviate the sufferings of the unfortunate among us . —Times . At the instigation of Mr . Elliot , a return has been . laid before the Court of Sewers of tlie number of cows kept in various sheds in the city . The result is somewhat astounding , and , indeed , alarming , seeing that in a densely crowded
mass of houses and people the emanations of animals , especially so large as cows , make a serious addition to the many other agents which poison the atmosphere . Even if the animals and sheds be kept clean ( a matter of great doubt ) , they are in all respects out of place in the heart of London . In the east district , including Aldgate and Bishopsgate , there are 65 ; in the west , including Bartholomew-close and Shoe-lane , 77 ; in the north middle , as Fore-street , Moor-lane , and Milton-street , 63 ; in the south middle , as Lambeth-hill and Old Change , 27 ; making a total of milk-manufacturing cows of 232 .

John Nash and John Done , two porters of the Oxford , Worcester , and Wolverhampton Company , placed two trucks on the main line near the Worcester station , left them , and went home to supper . A . mail train came down and ran into them ; fortunately no one was hurt . The men have been lined . An accident has happened in the yard of the Camdentown station of the London and North Western Railway . The points , opening the main line with the sidings , were wedged open by the pointsman , and left by him in charge
of another man , who in turn left them to do something else . The driver of an unattached engine thinking the down mail train had passed , as the points were open , attempted to cross . Just at this moment down came the mail , and the engine ran into it as it was passing , breaking the mail engine , grazing the passing carriages , knocking two off their wheels and overturning one . Happily no one was killed , but many had " nervous shocks . " The Marchioness of Anglesea , the Bishop of Lichfield , and Lady Blayney were in the mail .

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK . Iir the week that ended last Saturday 1072 deaths were registered in London , being nearly the same number as in the previous week . In the ten corresponding weeks of the year 3 1842-51 the average number was 947 , which , if a correction is made for increase of population for the purpose of comparing it with the present Iteturn , will become 1042 . The deaths of last week therefore do not much exceed the ordinary rate of mortality at this season , of the year . The tables of the last two weeks show a close coincidence as regards the numbers who died in several periods of life ; the children who died in the two weeks were respectively 536 and 535 ; adults between 15 and 60 years were 355 and . 348 , and persons who had attained the age of 60 years and upwards were 188 and 189 . for the
Fever has become more fatal in London , cases referred to the head of " typhus" rose from 54 in the preceding week to 62 in the last , and scarlatina from 73 to 92 . The latter complaint has now reached a higher point than in any previous part of this year , and the amount of mortality " is greater ' than in any corresponding week , except that of 1848 , when the number was 182 . Epidemic diseases in the aggregate are » ot , however , more than usually fatal , for only 5 deaths are assigned to small-pox and only 4 to measles . Diarrhoea also continues to decline , but an increase is visible in hooping-cough , which rose from 22 to 34 , and in bronchitis , which has also increased in the last two weeks from 76 to 92 . Last , week the births of 796 boys and 771 girls , in all 1567 children , were registered in London . The average number in seven corresponding weeks of the years 1845-51 was 1376 .
At tho Royal Observatory , Greenwich , the mean daily reading of the barometer was above 30 in . on the first four days of the week , and the mean reading of the week was 29 -945 in . The mean temperature of the week was 49 * 9 ( leg ., which is 2 deg . above the average- The mean daily temperature rose to 55-9 deg . on Friday , which is 8 ' 6 deg . above the average . Tho wind blow from the north at the beginning of tho week , it then changed to south-west , and except on Friday , when it was in the south-east , blew in this direction during the rest of tho week .
