HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK.

( Front the Report of the Registrar-General. )

The present return discovers an increase in the deaths
of the week that ended last Saturday on those of the
two previous weeks. Having been in these weeks 1,087
and 1,132, they rose last week to 1,185, of which 597
were deaths of males and 588 of females. In the ten
corresponding weeks of the year 1845-54 the average
number of deaths was 990, which, if raised fur increase
of population by a tenth part for the purpose of compari_
son, becomes 1,089. It appears that nearly 100 deaths
occurred last week more than the ordinary rate of mor-
tality would have produced.
Last week the births of 845 boys and 779 girls, in all
1,624 children, were registered in Lnrigon. In the ten
corresponding weeks of the year 1845.54 the average
number was 1,507.

At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height
of the barometer in the week was 29.844 in. The reading
of the instrument rose to 30.11 in. by nine o'clock a.m.
on the last day of April, which was the highest reading
in the week. The mean temperature was 44 degs.,
which is 7 degs. below the average of the same week in
38 years. It was the same as in the preceding week.
The mean temperature was below the average on every
day of the week, and on Friday the extent of depression
below,the average was so great as 11 degs. The mean
temperature of that day was only 40.8. The highest
temperatures of Thursday and Saturday were 63.0 degs.
and 63.6 degs., and these were the highest in the week.
The lowest temperature in the week occurred also on
Saturday, and was 28.3 degs. ; the lowest on Thursday
was 281 degs. The mean dew-point temperature was
37.7 degs., and the difference between this and the mean
temperature of the air was 6.3 degs. The wind blew
generally from the north-east. No rain fell, except a
slight quantity on Monday and Tuesday.
