      , average n umber of deaths was 961 , which if raised , fr comparison with the present mortality , according to ' crease of population , becomes 1057 . Hence it appears that last week ' s return is slightly in excess of the corrected average . Tn comparing the results of the last two weela a decrease is perceptible in the aggregate of mortality from pidemics , which is principally owing to the continued deline of diarrhoea , though it will be seen that scarlatina shows no abatement , but makes considerable progress , and last week numbered upwards of 100 deaths . The fatal cases of this epidemic were in the last three weeks , 73 , 92 ,

      104 . The Registrars in their notes refer to its ravages in particular houses . Influenza is recorded in 4 cases last week ; diarrhoea in 17 , which is only half the number of the preceding week . Five children and two adults died of emall-pox ; amongst these was a man , aged 28 years , who died of confluent small-pox , never havin g been vaccinated , and of whom it is stated that he bore the marks of an attack which he had 6 years before . last week the births of 686 boys and 714 girls , in all 1400 children , were registered in London . The average number in seven corresponding weeks of the years 1845-51 was 1400 .

      At the Royal Observatory , Greenwich , the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29 ' 278 in . The mean temperature of the week was 45-6 deg . The mean daily temperature , which was 49-4 deg . on Sunday , fell to 41 ' 6 deg . on Wednesday , which is 5 * 2 deg . below the average , rose on Thursday to 46 deg ., which is about the average , fell on Friday to 41 deg ., and again rose on Saturday to 52 " 6 deg ., which is about 6 deg . above the average . The wind blew from the north-west on Thursday , and in the same direction on part of the days preceding and following , and generally from the south-west during the rest of the week . The rain that fell in the week amounted to 2 * 01 inches .

      It is now definitively settled that the body will lie in state at Chelsea Hospital for five days , and be conveyed thence to tho Horso Guards on the night previous to the funeral . The funeral car is described as follows : —The base is intended to be formed by a square bronzo platform , about twenty-ono feet long by eleven wide . This will rest upon six elaborately-ornamented massive bronze wheels , about five feet in diameter . These wheels will be divided from each other by six broad panels of the same sombro metal , and will descend from the platform or base of the car in the form of an inverted cone , reaching downwards until about level with the axles of the wheels . The panels

      themselves aro highly ornamental , being surrounded with rich bronzo borderings , and bearing in their centre allegorical figures of Fame , Victory , War , and othor emblems of tho departed hero ' s career . From this platform or base will riso a second one , about two foot high , seventeen long , and eight or nine foot broad . JOach side of this second stage , which will also bo made of bronze , will bo divided into ten or twelve square panelH , in-Hcrihcd with the names of Wellington '*) most celebrated achievements , while the corners will bo decorated with heraldic bronze ensigns . Tho spaces between tho panels will bo emboliHhed with rich chasings . Resting upon this platform will be disposed lour groups of weapons from tho Tower , arranged in the most striking and martial manner , each group surmounted by a pedcntal supporting a velvet cushion , on which the ducal coronet will ho placed .

      In tho centre of the groups of weapons tho bier will bo fixed . This is intended to be about ten feet high , and will bo covered with a pall of the finest black velvot , richly embroidered with silver luce , and odgod with deep fringes of tho same costly material . Krom the corner of tho upper , or second stages and on a level with tho bottom of tho bier , will bo four three-footed triangular basements , serving as stands to as many metal halbortu , about twelve feefc high . From these will bo suspended a canopy of rich gold Mhhuo , underneath which , and renting upon tho bier , tho coHin will be laid . The total height of the whole ear will be about twenty feel , itrt breadth at . the buno twentyono . From tho great , weight and size of the car , it in conjectured that from twelve to sixteen hornos will bo required to move it , ovuri at the slow pace to which custom bun retitricted such mournful ceremonies .
