11E.A1111 or LONDON DOLING TOE WEF.E.—Tito
01111.116 i report says: The rate of mortality that now prevails
'in the metropolitan popish Ilion is still higher than from the
esperiene. of late years might be expected at the beginning
of May. The deaths, which in the previous week had risen
to 1,0,.,, base decliniAl in the week ending last Saturday to
001; hut as the avenues of ten corresponding weeks is only
88:1, and. if raised in the supposed ratio of increase of pops•
lotion, dues of exceed 963, it appears that there is still an
Ctn.. in the mortality of the present time abuse the cur-
vetted average, equal to 31. it will be seen from a
comparison of cornsponding weeks of 1811-30, that
only in one iota see, which occurred in 1848, when
mnall-pox, scarlatina, and typhus abounded, were
the deaths more num, roll. than those registered last week.
Is the prssious we,.. the number of young persons who
died under the oar of 13 years was 1111, in the last it was
441. ileum it appears that, though this latter number is
greater than usual, the health of the juvenile pert of the
population has improved. But the unseasonable coldness
of the weather is more perceptible in its effects on the old ;
fur in the some period the mortality of this claw has in-
creased. the death. of rer.ons of 1.1 years and upwaids
basing here in the pees ious week 216, in the latter 2'22.
The eymolic or epidemic class of disorders exhibits little
difference between last week's results and the average.
Fourteen persons, all of whom were children except one,
died of email-pox. A death which occurred at the Small-
pox Hospital ia recorded thus : —On 2nd May, a police-
constable from Lambeth, sated 22_years, 1e am con-
tinent. unprotected (20 days). ' Mr. Watts, the registrar,
adds that •• the deceased had been sent up from Hampehire
to be in attendance at the Exhibition, and with some others
of the polies• was attacked with the disease and conveyed to
the hospital at l'pper Holloway." pooping-cough is on
the decline, though it numbered last week 57, while the
corrected average is 43. There were also 6 deaths from
croup. and 11 from influents. In the tubercular class there
are 11 deaths from scrofula, P from tribes mesenterica, 145
from consumption, while hydrocephilus, or water in the
bead. reaches the unusual number of 50. Cephalic* or in-
lemmatise of the brain. which stands in the clam of dice
oases of the nervous system, was also fatal in 19 cases, which
is nearly double the usual number. The 6') deaths from the
two last-mentioned complaints, cephalitis and hydrocepha-
lus. occurred with only three exceptions among children,
and exceed the corrected average by '2l. The births of 757
boys and 730 girls, in all 1,487 children, were registered in
the week. The average of six corresponding weeks in
1843-60, was 1424. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich,
the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29;737
in. The mean temperate', was only 42 deg. 8 min., which
