deaths in Loudon hinted by the Registrar-General that the
deaths registered in London, which were 1,182 in the week
that ended November 6, were 1,061 in the week that ended
but &tardily. In the ten years, 1849-58, the average num-
ber of deaths in the weeks corresponding with last week was
1,068 ; but as the deaths now returned occurred in an in-
-01111111•1 population, they should be compared with the avenge
raised in proportion to the inmesse, namely, with 1,174. Last
week was therefore so far favourable to health that the deaths
is it were lees by; 123 than the number which would have
cocarred if the average rate of mortality for the early pert of
November bed prevailed.
The deaths from bronchitis continue to int:ream ; in the
last three weeks they were 68, 90, and 102 ; those from
Cumla had risen to 73 in the previous week,
etieny declined to 60 last week. Whooping-coogh
has also declined to 14. Thera were 21 from small-poz.
