HEALTH OF LONDON.
The official report sari: In the week ending last
Fiturday the deaths registered in the metropolitan dis-
tnets were 1,072, showing an increase of 102 on the return
't the previous week, in which the number waa 970. In
the tin coevespoadiug weeks of the years 1842-61 the &so-
ng.. was 1,096, which, with • correction made for increase
Of population, becomes 1,194. The return of last week ex-
hibits a mortality, therefore, le, than the corrected average
by ta.
The increase on the preceding return arises principally
from ciimmee of the respiratory organs, which were fatal in
the former week to 184 persons, in the latter to 203.
Fhthisis or con.umption (in the tubercular duel destroyed
111 and 155 lives in the two successive weeks. It will be
obwrved also that while the deaths front pneumonia rose in
the same period from 54 to 74, those from bronchitis de-
mand from lit to 93. In connexion with these facts, it
seems necessary to remark that the mean weekly tempera-
ture, which in January was generally above 40 deg., and
in the first wick of February rose to 47 deg., declined in
the ,frond week to 3811 deg., and last week it was 39.8 deg.
the births of 764 boys, and 824 girls, in all 1,589 chil-
dren, were registered last week in London. In the seven
co
44rresponding weeks of 1846-61 the average number was
1,7.

At the Royal O'vervatory, Greenwich, the mean daily
rewhog of the barometer wan above 30 in. on Sunday. Fri-
aud Saturday, and the mean of the week was 79.871 in.
Tie me in d.iily temperature was above the average of eon
r"`Pondutg days in ten years on the first four days, and
be:ow it on the last three. On Tuesday the mean tempera-
tun r.we to 41.1 deg., and on Friday it fell to 31.9 deg.,
silo, )1 IS more than 7 deg. below the average. The mean
upi ratan. of the week was 39.8 deg. In the former part
