HEALTH OP LONDON.

It appears, from the weekly return of the
Registrar-General, that the deaths in London were above
1,400 in each of the last three weeks of November ; they de-
clined to 1,376 in the week that coded last Saturday. The
seeress number of deaths is ten corresponding weeks (taking
the forty -oiuth week in each of the years 1813-62) is, with •
correction for WOMAN of population, 1,460. The actin!
number is lees by 84 than that obtained by calculation. The
' births io the weak were more numerous than the deaths
by 419. Small-pox was returned in 26 cases, seven of which
coonned to persons who were 15 years old and upwards.
Soulatina was less fatal than it bad been during
a long period, the number recorded being 88. This com-
plaint averaged 129 deaths weekly in October, and 119
weekly is November; sod it appears to have recently
still further declined. Five deaths from scarlatina were re-
gistered in Kentish-town, 10 in Islington, 4 in Limehouss, 5
in Bow, 4in Poplar, 5 in St. Peter Walivorth, and 4in
Piumstad. A child died of scarlatina at 20, Margaret-
street, Limehouse ; and this lactated to be the fourth fatal
case of this disease in the same house within twenty-three
days. Sixty-four deaths are referred to the head of
"typhus" in the tables. The corrected avenge for ten cor-
responding weeks ia 50. Of the 64 there were 34 returned
as typhus, 14 as typhoid fever, Bas fever, 8 as bilious, gastric
fever, Ste. Bronchitis caused 155 deaths; it exhibits no
biasses on the three previous weeks. Last week a greater
number of deaths was assigned to it than to phthisis, or any
other disease in the list. Last weak the births of 941 boys
and 854 gide, io all 1.795 children, were registered in Lon-
don. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1813.62
the average number (corrected) was 1,863.
At the Royal Observatory, Orenewich, the mean height
of the barometer in the week was 29.710 in. The mean
daily reading was above 30 io. on Tuesday and Friday ;
and below 29 in. on Wednesday. The reading fell to 28.8
in. on Thursday, and rose to 30.22 in. on Friday. The
mean temperature of the air in the week was 42.1 degs.,
which. 0.5 dep. above the avenge of the same week for
43 years (as determined oy Mr. Glauber). On three days
the mean temperature was below the average ; on Saturday
it was in excess by 8 dogs. On the first three days the
teeiperature fell below the freezir4 point of water. The
lowest was 29.8 dep. oo Monday. 'rho highest was 54.2
