flBALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK . last week ' s report it was shown that the mortality rose 1042- from the returns for the week that ended last * ° ¦? ' jt appears that the deaths remained at nearly * i same amount , having been 1012 . In the ten corresdim ? weeks of the years 1842-51 the average number P 1210 . which , if raised in proportion to the increase of WflS illation , gives a mortality for the present time of 1331 . E ° P pared ' with this estimated amount , the deaths actually eistered last week exhibit a satisfactory reduction ; but ¦ f will be borne in mind that the average of the ten years increased by influenza , which in the corresponding week of 1847 was fatal to 2416 persons . In the last four weeks the total numbers of deaths returned have undergone considerable variation , these having been 922 , 947 , 1042 , and 1012 ; but under the two principal heads , namely , " zymotic diseases" and " diseases of the -Jniratory organs , " the rate of mortality has been rediseases in tne
markably uniform ; zymotic or epidemio aggregate produced in the several weeks 184 , 207 , 210 , an 3 212 deaths , while those of the organs of respiration ( exclusive of p hthisis ) caused 167 , 172 , 171 , and 171 fatal cases . During the same periods hooping-cough alone of the diseases in the former class shows a steady disposition to Increase , though it has not yet become fatal to any considerable extent ; the numbers referred to it were 17 , 20 , 24 34 . In the same times scarlatina was fatal to 59 , 72 , 59 , ' and 62 persons ; typhus to 50 , 37 , 47 , and 55 . The mortality from small-pox continues low , and last week it was fatal in only two cases . Five persons died last week of influenza . . Last week the births of 810 hoys and 769 girls , in all , 1579 children , were registered in London . In the seven corresponding weeks of the years 1845-51 the average number was 1371 .
. . . . . At the Royal Observatory , Greenwich , the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29-520 in . The mean temperature of the week was 49-3 degs ., which is 7-9 degs . above the average of the same week in ten years , and also 7 degs . higher than the temperature of the previous week . The mean daily temperature was above the average on every day of the week , and this excess on Sunday , Friday , and Saturday , amounted to 10 and 11 degs . The wind blew daily from the south-west . The amount of rain that fell in the week was 0-61 in . ; and the mean difference betweeh the dew point temperature and air temperature was 5 ' 3 degs .

w _ Sattjeday , December 18 . RESIGNATION OF MINISTERS . The House of Lords met last night . There was a large attendance of the members of the House of Commons in the galleries set apart for them ; amongst others , we noticed Lord John Russell arid some of his more immediate followers . The presence " of a considerable number o f strangers congregated behind the woolsack indicated great interest in the nature of the proceedings which were about to take place . The Earl of LoKSDALE presented a petition from Whitehaven , from a mechanic ' s institute , praying for the free distribution of Parliamentary papers . And then the Earl of Malmesbitrt rose and said , —• My lords , in consequence of what took place in the House of Commons last night , with respect to the resolutions moved by the Chancellor of the Exchequer , and in consequence of the unavoidable absence of the Prime Minister , who has gone to see her Majesty at Osborne , I have to move that this House adjourn to Monday next . Their lordships then adjourned .

THE MINISTRY . The Herald of this morning informs us that Ministers have resigned . " At an early hour yesterday morning ( says our venerable contemporary ) notices were forwarded to the various members of the ( jovernment to attend a Cabinet Council at the Foreign Office , at twelve o ' clock . The noble Premier arrived a quarter of an hour after the time specified , when the rest of the Cabinet Ministers were in attendance , and the result of the division on Thursday night was , of course , taken into consideration . The result of the conference was a determination on the part of Ministers to tender their resignation to her Majesty ; and accordingly , immediately after the rising of the Council , a telegraphic message was dispatched to the naval authorities at Grosport , directing a steamer to be in readiness to await the arrival of the express train that leaves London at three o ' clock .
" The Earl of Derby left London by this train to tender the resignation of himself and his colleagues to the QueeD , and it is supposed that his lordship will recommend to her Majesty to confide the formation of a new Administration to the Marquis of Lansdowne . " So far the Her-ald , not always the best informed journal in London . The Times mentions another name . The Times points to Lord Aberdeen as the man to fill the vacant post . After saying that the new ministry should include all shades of tho Liberal party , and that the days of cliques are over , the leader
proceeds" Tho materials of which a nobler and more energetic Government can bo formed are abundant and various , and we repudiate tho notion that it is possible either to revert to tho decrepit combination which preceded Lord Derby ' s accession to power , or to strengthen that combinanation by a mere infusion of oxtrcme Liberal opinions . Tho course of events , tho state of parties , and the predominant convictions and desires of the country , point to tho colleagues of tho lato Sir Itobert Peel as tho men from whom tho Liberal party must now look for the most effectual assistance , in conjunction with whatever remains available of tho last Whig administration . We may add that wo have roaaon to believe that private communications
have already taken place by which tho principal obstacles to thin union are removed ; and wo believe that it is upon tho Earl of Aberdeen that the formation oi" the new Cabinet will devolve , with tho active co-operation , not only of his ibrmor colleagues , but of Lord John Kusnell and tho chiefs of tho Whig party . The same delicate task of bringing together for tho first time men not before asHoeiatod by party tics might equally be entrusted to tho Marquis of Lansdowne , whose experience , authority , and tact , perfectly qualify him for such a duty . Hut that veteran statesman has already taken a formal leave of official life , and although his couohoIh must , evor have the [ M-eatest weight with the Liberal party , we t the mostmierouu
do not anticipate that ho will accep , position in tho service of the drown . Lord Aberdeen has , moreover , the advantage of being letss shackled than any man of equal eminence by personal and party tiiw . If it should be Juh duty to distribute the chief offices of State , wo have no doubt that , he will do it with triugleneHH oi' purpose and with an undivided regard for the public nervice . One of the inconveniences of such an Administration is no doubt , the number of aspirants for ofliee , some of whom must be content to see their opinions represented by more fortunate or more able competitors Hut , the « HW » ntial point is , that , the respective elements of such a Ministry should be fairly represented and evenly combined , since the places are riot for the men , but the men for the places . The result , if it can bo obtained , must be a wider mnge of opinion and observation , a more < riin < li < l and coiroct estinnUi of tho real opinions of the country , a more resolute superiority to the nbuses and impediments of more routine ; and although n Government ho constituted will find itself watched in the present , Parliament by , a utrong Opposition , it will array on it « side not only a very large proportion of tho » tut , » iniuanshij > and the eloquence of tuo JIouho of Cominoiw , but alno Uio most temporal , *) convictions and important inluruuLti of the whole community . " Tho Daily Nctus published evidently u gijcH « coniuiuutiuu » ~ r «
First Lord of the Treasury . . Marquis of Lansdowne Foreign Affairs Earl of Aberdeen Home Office and Loader of the Commons Lord J . Russell Colonies Sir J . Graham Chancellor of the Exchequer . . Mr . Gladstono Admiralty Mr . S . Herbert Secretary-at-War Mr . Osborne Lord Lieutenant of Ireland . . Duke of Newcastle &c . &c . &c . Lord Grey and Manchester are to be passed by . But this guess ait a Cabinet agrees both with the statement of the Herald and the warm recommendations of the Times . But it is significant that the Morning Chronicle ventures no suggestion ; showing that whatever share the Peelites may have in the thickening negotiations , they choose to conceal their game . But we may ask , if Lord Palmerston was " master of the situation" a fortnight ago , where is he now , and why is he forgotten ? He was forgotten in the Militia debate which gave office to Lord Derby ; he was forgotten in the debate on the address . He is forgotten now . But we hear that his gout is wonderfully better now that the defeat on the Budget has cooled the political atmosphere . Parties must know , if they reflect , that he is an element which will have to be calculated . Lord Clarendon , too , is a name that can scarcely be omitted from any such combination as that suggested by the Daily News . And Mr . Cobden , from the judicious habit of silence on the subject of National Defences he has so recently acquired , may reasonably prefer a rival claim to that dashing Whig Hussar , Mr . Bernal Osborne , for the vacant post of tlie Right Hon . W . B . In case of his appointment , Mr . Bright would be Paymaster to the Forces . Of course , we shall see . Meanwhile , what an unpleasant entertainment for her Majesty ' s Christmas week—a Ministerial snapdragon ! THE DIVISION .
