HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK,

(Prom the Reglerrar-Creseral's Report.)

• -
In the week ending last Saturday, the deaths
registered in the metropolitan districts were 1,034, sad ex-
hibit a decrease of 122 on those of the previow. a ek. A
comparison 4,1 the same weeks of former years show. that thg
mortality hes not been so low as at the present tine, since
1846 ; in the early part of the years 1847-9 the deaths ranged
weekly from 1,200 to about 1,450. T e average of ems.
pending weeks in ten previous years (1840-9) is 1,084, or, if
a correction is made for increase of population, 1,183, com-
pared with which the present return shows a decrease of 43
deaths. The deaths from consumption were 128, er whet
less than the average. Amongst other fatal disesses. bron-
chitis is now predominant, and last week carried off 121 per-
sons, a number which, though less than in the week before,
exceeds by 61 the corrected average of ten tone posting
weeks of former years. It is worthy of re mark that this
complaint, which has exceedingly increased during the hat
six parr, bas, sines 1844, produced at this season a weekly
mortality more than feurfold its former amount. Puetnamis
was fatal to only 78 verso= last week (a great majorits of whom
were children), whilst the corrected average of ten c:rres-
ponding weeks is 109; this disease, though it has fluctuated
so its weekly numbers from 64 to 156, has not shown the
same disposition as bronchitis to increase during later years.
The deaths of 7 nonagenarians were registered last week;
at these, a woman at the ago of 96 years, awl a man at L.S.
The deaths of 106 persona were registered in wcrehouaes;
57 in hospitals; and 13 in the two royal hospitals, amongst
whom were 7 pensioners at Greenwich, who died I:etwe en
oho 18th and 24th of January, at various ages from ::7 to
The mortality from epidemics continues to be enmp..aancely
low, though measles and dlarrhata (from the for me three
having been 28 deaths, and from the latter 14), are ..hout the
average: 11 children died of artrup. The bireos during :Le
week were 1,494.
Tao mean daily reading of the barometer at Greenwich
was above 30 in. on the first five days of the week; the wan
of the week was 30.050. The mean daily temperature rocs
from 29 deg. on Sunday to 45 deg. on Friday ; the mean ;:
the week was 35.6 deg., which is rather less than the aver..te
of the same week in seven years. The mean um:ism:ore
was 9 dig. below the average of the same day, on 3lutway;
on Friday it was 8 dig. above it.

MARRIAGE WITH A DECEASED WIFE'S SISTER.—

on Monday night, at Brunswick Independent Chapel.
Mr. ilsieby in the chair, for the purpose of consider-
ing the present law, by which marriages of widowers wish

HIGH TIDE IN THE THAMES.—Tettet day the tide
rose so extraordinarily high as to overflow the walls of tan
river and inundate the various thorough fares slant[ e r
'bare. So unexpected was the high tide, that no one had
made any prepatation to preserve their property, and the
sonsegneuss was that znisehisf to an incalculable amount
was dose. The tide on the previous day was lower than is
has been known to be for some considerable time past,
whilst that of yesterday rwe two feet one inch higher
than it did in Odober, 1844, when so much property was
destroyed. The various wharves slung the river preserved
immense sheets of water, timber and other articles being
forced about with the strength of the tide, whilst the small
craft lying on the shores of the Thames were either titled
with water or forced into the open streets. In Lembeth
and the two adjoining parishes property worth noisy thou-
sand ponds was destroyed. In the neighbourhood of the
Commercial, Belvidere, and York-roads, a vast deal
of damage was date. In the Crescent of Bel-
videre-road the houses have sustained great in-
jury, sod the furniture is destroyed. As late as
eight o'clock last evening the whole of College strut
was ander water about four feet. the lower floor' of the
houses being fall of water, whilst the residents were
anxiously looking from the upper windows for the water to
recede. Even at that period the 'widests were obliged to
be taken to and from their residences by means of hones
and carts. The furniture belonging to nrsrly fifty penons
in this street is either destroyed or extensively damaged by
the visitation. So deep did the water rise in the Commer-
cial-road that boats were employed during the day
in conveying reople w
along. Fore-street, Lbet'a.
Bishop's-walk, as well as the several wharves it
the opposite aide of the river at Millbaak, were all un,hr
' water. Along Vaugh U, the Lammas lands it• Fulham
and Sattonsa, the open country presented broad sheets .f
water, in many places being several f. et deep. At Bankside.
Bermondsey, and Itotherhithe a vast amount of damage has
been dons. It would be impossible to give a list of the whole
of the premises ured, as scarcely a building on either a,,la
of the rive escaped, and the furniture destroyed matt amount
to many thusand pounds. Toe tide completely overflowed
the Temple Gardens, and the various piers both up and down
the river haw wened much damsels. Had the tide must
have ▪ high la, the night time a fearful destruction of life must
have tollowed.—Tzte MORNINO.—Ii Wee elpected that the
tided this morning would have reached the height of that
of yesterday afternoon, hut at high-water time it wet found
that the wt.ter was two feet lower; yet, notwithstsnding, it
is pretty evident that much more injury will be added to
that recorded this day from wring sources. At high-water.
however, a curious scene presented itself in Stranti-lane,
where upwards of a dosen when's, skids, and other boats
were seen floating till the needing of the tide. The S
was to be seen in the various boachailders' yards, but wore
precaution had been takes by lastriv4p them together. at.bigba
