HEALTH OF LONDON DURING T.HE

WEEK.

(.17Pont the Registrar-General's Report.)
The deaths of 870 persons were registered in London
during the week that ended on Saturday, Oct. 13 ; 449
of the number died under 20 years of age ; 131 young
men and women died of the age of 20-40 ; 124 persons
had lived to the age of 40-60 ; and 124 more to the Age
of 60-80 ; while only 22 had passed 80 years, and ap•
proached the natural limit of human life (100 year-).
223 of the deaths were by zymotic diseases, including
16 by small-pox, 50 by scarlatina, 44 by diarrhoea, 4by
cholera, 45 by typhus and ether fevers. Couumptioa
was the cause of 108 deaths, apoplexy of 23 paralysis of
16, bronchitis and pneumonia of 92 Eighteen violent
deaths were registered. The average deaths in the c )r-
-responding week of the previous 10 years was 995, or
corrected for increase of population, 1095. The deaths
in the last week were 870, or 225 below the corrected
average deaths in London.

The stanciard of comparison here is the average mor-
tality of London ; but that average is itself much
above the average of England and Wales, and still fur-
ther above the mortality in several of the healthiest dis-
tricts of the country, where the annual deaths have been
on an average of ten years at the rate of 14, 15, 16, and
17 in 1,000 of the population ; while the average mor-
tality of London was nearer 25 than 24 in 1,000.
At the annual rate of 17 deaths in 1,000 living, the
weekly deaths in London would amount now to 836 ;
and the excess of 34 may be referred to causes which
were in operation, destroying during the week nearly
five lives daily.

The 836 deaths may be held for the present to be na-
tural deaths, as they are the result of natural causes ;
the 34 deaths may be considered unnatural deaths. As
they are the results of extraneous causes that admit of
removal.

The steps that have already been taken to supply the
people of London with purer water than they received
during the last cholera epidemic are already producing
beneficial results ; and the next most effectual measure
of sanitary improvement will be the purification of the
London atmosphere by the complete removal from the
houses and streets daily of the residue of the organic
matter which is brought into them daily.
Last week the births of 793 boys and 771 girls, in all
1,064 children, were registered in London. In the ten
ourresponding weeks of the years 1845-54 the average
number was 1,313.

The new moon on Thursday was ushered in by rain,
of which 0.39 in. fell in five days of the week, and wind
which blew from the south-west and north-west over
Greenwich, at velocities ranging from 70 to 250 miles a
day. The barometer was low (29'443 in. ; the thermo-
meter in the air 52'2 deg., so the mean temperature of
the week is now descending to the mean temperature of
the year. The mean dew point was 46.8 deg. On Wed-
nesday night the temperature of the air fell ►.o 42.7 deg.;
of the grass to 38.0 deg. The mean of the highest tem-
perature of the air was 60.1 deg., which was nearly the
mean of the highest temperatures of the Thames ; but in
the nights, while the air was on an average at 46 2 deg.,
the water of the Thames remained at 56.7 deg. On Tues-
day the Thames was at night 13.3 deg. higher than the
lowest temperature of the air, and gave off vapour,
which in the calm air was thrown down in fog.

mittee of the corporation of Liverpool to acquaint them
of the townihip'e decision.
