      Statistics Of The Week. Births And Death...

      STATISTICS OF THE WEEK . Births and Deaths is tub Metropolis . —Last week the births of 847 tors and 793 girls , in all 1 , 640 children , were registered in London . The avenge number in seven corresponding weeks of the years 1845-51 was 1 , 860 The official report states that last week 1 , 077 deaths were registered in the metropolitan districts . There is an increase on the return of the preceding week , when the number was 913 ; but this is chiefly due to coroners ' cases , manv of which occurred at previous dates , but were not registered till the end of the quarter . In the ten corresponding Aveeks of the years 1 S 42-51 the average auinlier o £ deaths was 1 , 042 , which , with a correction for increase of population , becomes 1 . 14 G .

      Steam-Boat Building On The Clyde.—In Ref...

      Steam-Boat Building on the Clyde . —In reference to the progress of the trade of steamhoat building on the Clyde , it is shown that in ' the year ending June , 1852 , the number and tonnage of steamers engaged in traffic on the Clyde were 93 vessels , of 11 , 992 tons—the increase on regularly employed vessels on the river was 26 , and in tonage , 5 , 301 tons . But that gave no idea of the magnitude of the steamhoat building and marine engine making . During the last seven years there have heen constructed , or are constructing , in Glasgow and neighbourhood , 123 vessels , 122 of which were iron 80 paddle .

      , and 43 screw , consisting of 200 wooden tonnage , 70 , 441 iron tonnage ; 6 , 610 horse-power engines for wooden hulls ; 22 , 539 horse-power for iron hulls ; and 4 , 720 horse-power engines for vessels not built in the Clyde . At Dumbarton , during the last seven years , there have heen constructed , or are constructing , 66 steamvessels , 13 of which are wood , and 53 of iron , 25 being paddles , and 41 screws ; the gross tonnage being 47 , 202 tons . It would be seen that the wooden hulls are fast giving place to

      those of iron , and the screw is more patronized than the paddle . The proportion in 1852 was 73 iron against 4 of wood , and of screws to paddles it is as 43 to 30 . Dr . Strang then exhibited the amount of money expended in this branch of trade , and the quantity of employment it gives . Both are enormous : —taking the last seven years of building on the Clyde at £ 4 , 650 , 652 , and the employed at Dumbarton , Greenock , Port Glasgow , and Glasgow , at 10 , 820 persons at annual wages of £ 450 , 112 .

      The Militia . —The cost of the Militia now raising , for the year ending the 31 st of March , 1853 , is estimated at £ 386715 . in the present year the number to be raised is 50 , 000 , and £ 100 , 000 is put down as " bounty and recruiting charges , payable within the year , taken at the rate of £ 2 per man , payable partly on enrolment , and partly at the termination of the training and exercise , or by monthly allowance .
