FIKALTH OF LONDON.—it appears from the
return issued by authority of the Registrar-Oeneral that
in the week that ended on Saturday, Jan. 20, the births
registered in London and twelve other large towns of the
United kingdom were 4,430 ; the deaths registered 4,141.
The annual rate of mortality was 35 per 1.000 persons
living. In London the births of 1,160 boys and 1,077 girls,
in all 2.=:7 children, were registered in the week. In the
oorrespontling weeks of ten yearn 1857-66 the avenige
number. corrected for increase of population. was 2,17.4.
The deaths iegistered in Londe, during the week were
1,880. It was the fourth week of the year ; soli the average
number of deaths for that week is, with a correation for
increase of population. 1,641. The deaths in the prevent
return -coed. the estimated number by 239. The deaths
registered in the last three weeks ending Jan, 96,
amounted to 5,485, while the deaths of the three
preceding weeks coding Jan. 5, amounted to 4.250 ,•
and the difference is 1,2:)5. Now the mean temperature of
the three cold weeks ending January 19th waa 30.2 dep. ;
of the three mild week. ending December' 11th,42.9 degs. ;
leaving a difference of 19.7 dep. So every degree of de-
pression. over three week., corresponded nearly to 160
deaths in London. The excessive number of deaths is
thus distributed over five ages: 164 at ages under 20 ; 193
at 20-40,312 at 40-60. 531 at 60-80, and 106 at the age of
80 and upwards. When the deaths are compared with
the numbers living at the corresponding ages. these results
are obtained : to 100,000 persons living at each of the five
ages, the deaths were 12 le 0-24, 12 at 20-40, lii at 40410,
297 at 60-80, and 884 at the age of 80 and upwards. As
age advances after childhood, the power fails of producing
the internal warmth by which life is upheld. So while

large towns. ;he annual rate of mortality last week was 32
per 1.000 in London, 32 in Edinburgh, and 43 in Dublin ;
35 in Bristol, Dl in Birmingham, 41 in Liverpool,
48 in Manchester, 40 in Salford, 31 in Sheffield, 99 in
Leeds, 30 in Hull, 43 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and 42 in
Glaagow. The rate in Vienna was .10 per 1,000 during the
week ending the 19th inst., when the mean temperature
was 6.1 deg. Fehrenheit higher than in the same week in
London. where the rate was 29 per 1,000. Nine water
companies state that they supplied London on a daily
average with 94,0.'4,159 gallons, equal to 427.:611 cubic
metres, or about as many tuns by weight. This was nearly
a ton of water, or a cubic metre, to a house. Dr. Frank-
land's careful id impartial analysis shows that the solid
matter in 100,000 parts of the waters ranged from 31.34
(Chelsea) to 39.40 (Kent) ; the organic matter from 0.69
(New River) to 2.64 (East Loudon). The waters, except
those of the New River, were turbid when drawn from the
stains.
