HEALTH Or LONDON DURINO THE WEER.
Yesterday the Registrar-General's report was issued for the
week ending Saturday last. March 31. The births during
the seven days were 1,621; the deaths registered in the
week were 1,241, or 72 more than the weekly average of the
emu. Bat it mast be observed, that the excess in this re-
turn is not caused by sudden increase of mortality ; it is due
to as accumulation of coroner's cases, which occurred in pre-
vious weeks, though they were not registered till the end of
the sputter. The eases cm which inquests were held and
registered last week were 198, and are principally found
amongst violent and sudden deaths. If 80 be taken es the
number of inquests that on the average actually occur in a
week, which is probably not far from the truth, 138 are in-
eluded in this return to account for the increase of deaths
registered. The persona who died in the week were, there-
fore, about 1,100, while the average is 1.189. Small-pox,
measles, typhus, pneumonia, and plithisis, all continue
to be les fatal than usual ; hoopiog cough prevails
to setae extent. Cholera has nearly disappeared from
London, the deaths in last week being not more than four.
Six deaths were caused by privation, most of them having
occurred, probably, in various weeks of the quarter. A
eork-eutter, of 35 yews, was found in Spur-street, Leiceeter-
square, and died in 12 hours afterwards, of " exhaustion
from want of the common necessities of life, and general
neglect."—(lnquest) The wife of a pensioner at Greenwich
died of *serous apoplexy, hastened by the want of proper
nourishment."—(lnquest) The total number of deaths in
the bet three months by starvation, either from poverty or
self-neglect, or voluntary abstinence in lunacy, is 13; the
number from went of breast-milk and inanition, in the
same period, is 28. A man died from injury which he re-
ceived from falling in a state of intemperance. Two lads,
respectively 17 and 18 years, died from excessive drinking ;
one was found dead on board a ship. In the first quarter of
this year intemperance is reported as the immediate cause of
21 deaths ; in other cases persons died of miliaria from falls,
carriages, or otherwise, after excess in drinking; also 40
depths are ascribed to delirium tremens, a disease which, in
majority of cases, is the effect of intemperance. A woman
died in Thornhill-street, Islington, of fever after childbirth,
in which the medical attendant certifies that her illness was
aggravated, Helot caused, by bad drainage. A girl of six
yeas* also died la St. Giles-in-the-Fields (North), of " typhus
(5 days)aed deficient drainage," according to medical certi-
ficate. Tee mean height of the barometer was under 30 in.
