HEALTH OP LOYDON.

It appears from the return Maned by authority of
4he RegistrarOmieral that the deaths in London declined
to 937 en the week that ended August 25, they ruse to
IRIS in the week that ended last Saturday. If 1287
deaths from cholera, that occurred in the thirty-fifth week of
1854, are withdrawn from the returns to be compared, it
, will be found that the average number of deaths, in the
weeks corresponding with last week, of the years 1850-9 was
1,045; end this average, corrected for increase of population,
becomes 1,149. Hence it appears that the public health is
&ow comparatively good ; for the deaths were fewer by
