HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK.
The 1,217 deaths registered in the week ending
Juno 30, exhibit an e :cue of 254 a. use the weekly avenge
of the quarter, which ends on June 30; beu this unusual re-
sole is due only iu part to an increased rate of mortality.
The ngistratiou of a cousiderabl portion of those deaths on
which Inquests were held, though they occurred at an earlier
pelted, is not completed till the end of the quarter • a fact
by which is explained the accumulativ of deaths Observed
in the present return, from fractures, hutting, drowning,
poison, burns, and some vaguely desatheil as " natural," or
"from the visitation of (1,d." The number now retureed
by coroners, as caused by eh knee, is upwards of 80, though
the weekly average is only 29; those enumerated in the table
se "sudden deaths," are 46, though the average does not
exceed 11; an excess, for the same reason, is found under
" apoplexy," the cases returned being 42, while the avetage
is 24. But the mortality from &sauce of a tubercular na-
ture, and from those of the organs of eirculetio-, differs little
from the average; that from diseases of the respiratory
organs falls sow lerably under ft. In the symotie or epi-
demic clam the increue is remarkable; hen, the deaths
which in the two previous weeks were respectively 251, 277,
were last week 349, whilst the average is 198. Tne fatal
causes in this group, which atm ct notice, aro hopping.
cough, (from which there were 53 deaths) the aver.
age being 36) ; diarrhma, from which there were 30,
whilst the average is 12 ; end cholera, from which 124 deaths
are enumerated. The recent progress or this disease isstown
by the WO4kly return., for in 14T previous weeks the fatal
eases w. re respectively 9, 22, 42, red 49. Last week it was
fatal to 76 aides and 48 females, of whom only lie.. were un-
der five years of age, 21 between tbst age end 16 years, 88 at
16 and under GO, and 10 a: 60 and upwards. Few deaths
