HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK.
The official report nays :—Tho total number of
deaths registered in the metropolis in the week that ended
last Saturday was 1,324. This number exhibits a further
increase on the high rate of mortality in previous weeks,
but to a considerable extent it is augmented by mos on
which inquests have been held, and which are now tittered
in the registers in undue proportion. The following are
the weekly numbers returned since the end of February,
after • deduction Is made of "sudden deaths," and those
caused by drowning, fractures, and other violent means,
which constitute nearly the whole of the cases returned by
coroners :-1,093, 1,146, 1,182, 1,146, and 1,181.
In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1812.51 the
average number of deaths was 974, which, if raised in pro-
portion to the increase of population during that period and
up to the present time, becomes 1,071. The present return
therefore exhibits an excess above the average of 253.
Last week the deaths of 561 children under 15 years, of
471 persons of 15 years and under 60, and of 291 persons
aged 60 and upwards, were registered. Of the last-men-
tioned class 126 were men and 165 were women. Of the
men only one was a nonagenarian, but no fewer than 10 of
the women had reached 90 years, and two of these kad,
nearly attained 100.
The mortality produced by diseases of the respiratory
organs is still of unusual amount ; the deaths which were
in the previous week 243 haviug been 249 in the last, while
the corrected average of corresponding weeks is only 193.
In each of the last two weeks bronchitis was fatal to 128
persons, being much in excess of the average, while pneu-
monia was fatal at the same time to 72 and fill, which is
about the usual number. Last week phthisis (or consunip-
lion) carried off 15 children under. 15 years, 139 persons of
15 years and under 60, and 7of 60 years and upwards,
altogether 161 persons, whilst in corresponding weeks of
1842-51 the lowest number was 115 and the greatest 149,
and the average 129.
Amongst epidemics small-pox continues to prevail as
much as it has done for a lung period, and scarlatina
shows • disposition to increase. Last week the former
was fatal in 27 cans (in 5 of which it is stated that vaccina-
tion bad been previously performed), and the latter in 38.
The following death was also registered : the daughter of a
to snemsson, aged two years, on 30th March, at 9, ug Eccleston-
place, Delgrave subdistrict, from "cholera (38 hours)."
In London the births of 838 boys and 892 girls, in all
1,730 children, were registered in the week. The average
number in seven corresponding weeks of the years 1845.61
is 1,365.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean daily
reading of the barometer was above 30 in. on the last
two days of the week ; the mean of the week was 29.686 in.
The mean temperature of the week was 43.5 deg., which is 'I
slightly below the average of the same week in ten years.
The mean daily temperature rose from 39.8 deg. on Sun-
day, which is 3.6 deg. below the average of corresponding
days, to 46.9 deg. and 450 1 deg. on Monday and luewlay, ,
which are respectively 3.3 deg. and 6.3 deg. above the ave-
rages. It then continued falling till Friday, when it was
again 39.9 deg., or 4.4 deg. below the average. The wind
blew chiefly from the north-east. Rain fell en Monday
evening and on the morning of Tuesday.
