The return of births and deaths in London,
issued by authority of the Registrar-General, states the
deaths reriste in the week that ended last Saturday were
1,4394 tad they show a great decrease on the 1,708 slammed
in the previous weak. The *rungs number el deaths ta
the eerrespeeding weeks of the ten years 185049, when
corrected for increase of population, is 1,268. The rate of

also exhibit. a decrease ; it was fatal last week
in 23 cases. Scarlatina numbered only 26 deaths, diphtheria
14. Three children and an adult died by murder or man-
slaughter. Three deaths were caused by privation. An
ostler died from glanders. A widow died at the age of
95 years two widows at the age of 99, one of whom died
in King.street, Camden Town, and her age is proved by
certificate.
week the births of 838 boys and 755 girls, in all
1,593 children, wen, registered in London. In the ten
corresponding weeks of the years 1850-59 the average
number wan 1,617.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height
of the barometer in the week was 29.470 in. The mean
temperature of the air in the week was 45.7 deg., which is
0.9 deg. above the average of the same week in 43 years.
The lowest temperature was 33.4 deg. on Wednesday ; the
highest, in the shade, 62 deg., occurred on Saturday. The
wind blew chiefly from the south-west ; on Thursday rad
Friday it was in the north-east. There was 022 in. of rain*
The quarter comprising thirteen weeks that ended Satur-
day 31st March was distinguished by a high rate of morta-
lity. .The deaths in London in that period row to 18,814,
Whereas in the four corresponding quarters of the years
1856-59 they were in one instance as low as 14,533, and did
not in any other exceed 17,308. The aromas was caused
apparently by the coldness and occasional severity of the
weather in February and part of March. Zymotic diseases,
which numbered 3,380 deaths, were, taking them in the ag-
gregate, lees fatal than in the two previous corresponding
quarters ; but under other general heads the mortality was
higher than it usually is in the winter quarter, which is the
most fatal in the year. A comparison of the numbers re-
ferred to particular diseases will indicate the nature of the
causes by which the weekly mortality wasraised from
about 1,300 at the beginning of the year to 1,700
at the end of March. The deaths by phikieis rose
from 1,916 in the same quarter of 1859 to 2,009 in
last quarter; those by small-pox freer 201 to 464 ;
these by paralysis from 335 to 398 ; those by convulsions
(almost wholly amongst children) from 577 to 701 ; by heart
disease from 659 to 795 ; by bronchitis from 1,754 to
2,966 ; by pneumonia from 1,056 to 1685; by asthma from
167 to 275 ; by disease of liver from 141 to 1156;nttc:ephria
from 83 to 91; by disease of the kidneys, not from 85
to 104 ; akin dunes° from 11 to 24 ;by old age m 614
to 790. The mean temperature of the air was much higher
in the former of the two quarters thee compared than it
was in the latter, for in 1859 it was 43.3 digs., in the pre-
sent year it was 38.9 dogs.
In a cold season fatal cues of burns will probably be
more numerous, and they rose last quarter to 138,
sad were 22 in excess of those in the winter quarter of
1859 ; the increase is also great in cases of suffocation (115),
most of which occurred to children in bed ; also in murder
and manslaughter (chiefly infanticide), the number of which
cases was :ti. Sixty-three persons died in the quarter by
their own hands.
