THE HEALTH OF LONDON.—It appears from the
return issued by authority of the Registrar-General,
that in the week that ended on Saturday, January
20, the births registered in Loudon and twelve other
large towns of the United Kingdom were 4,548 ; the
deaths registered, 3,590. The annual rate of mortality was
31 per 1,000 persons living. In London the births of 1,149
boys and 1,097 girls, in all 2,246 children, were registered
in the week. In the corresponding weeks of ten years,
1856-65, the average number, corrected for increase of popu-
lation was 2,081. The deaths registered in London dunog
the week were 1,569. It was the third week of the year,
and the average number of deaths for that week is, with a
correction for increase of population, 1,64 L The number
of deaths actually returned is leas by 72 than that obtained
by calculation. Whooping cough is the most fatal disease
in the rymotio class according to the present return, and it
is recorded in 78 cues. There are 69 deaths from
typhus, 38 from scarlatina, 38 from measles, 16 from email-
pox. To phthisis 165 deaths ea referred ; to bronchitis,
188 ;to pneumonia, 110 ; to disease of the heart, 59. The

able to persona liable to this complaint, and the mortality
from it, as compared with the average, is low. On 29th
