lIEALT.H OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK.

(Front the Report of the Registrar-General. )

The deaths registered in London, which in May rose
to nearly 1,200 in a week, and in June to nearly 1,100,
fell to 926 in the week that ended last Saturday. The
average number in the ten corresponding weeks of 1845-
54, when corrected for increase of population, is 1,058.
The present return is therefore of a favourable character.
Diarrhoea was, however, fatal in 28 cases, cholera in
6 ; and one of the cases of cholera was of a severe type,
as in 11 hours it killed a labourer in the Battersea work-
house on Friday, 6th July; one warning day of diarrhea
preceded the cholera.
The temperature of the Thames was 66.2 deg. during
the week, and its waters were exceedingly impure ; the
water supply is not yet good, and the sewers are left en-
trapped and ill-ventilated, while the streets are imper-
fectly cleansed ; so that if London is left much longer
without some sensible sanitary control, the public health
must inevitably soon decline, and the population be
&filleted by a great epidemic.
The health of London during the three months of
April, May, and June has bean better than it was in
the corresponding seasons of the two previous years ;
but the mortality is still higher than it was some years
ago, and the deaths in thirteen weeks were 14,997, or
more by some thousands probably than would have hap-
pened had the sanitary arrangements of London been in
a satisfactory state.
328 persons, nearly all children unvaccinated, died of
small-pox, 182 of measles, 589 of scarlatina, 626 of
hooping-cough, 505 of typhus. Small-pox prevailed most
in the East and South districts, measles in the East,
scarlatina generally, hooping-cough in the West and
North, fever and diarrhoea in the South districts. Ery-
sipelas is still unusually prevalent ; and 47 mothers died
of metria, or fever after childbirth, and 78 of other dis-
eases incidental to that state ; of diarrhoea 222 persons
died ; of cholera 8. The deaths from cholera were only
11 in the corresponding season of the year 1854, which,
nevertheless, subsequently witnessed a great outbreak
of the epidemic.
The deaths from consumption (2,126) and from broil.
ehitis (1,175) exceed the average ; a result which is, per-
haps, referable in some measure to the preceding severe
winter ; 22 deaths are ascribed directly to intemperance,
38 to•delirium tremens, 28 to poison, 86 to burns and
scalds, 26 to hanging (chiefly suicides), 30 to suffocation,
89 to drowning, 188 to fractures and contusions, 19 to
wounds. 3,870 men of the ages of 20 and upwards died
in London in the 13 weeks—namely, 2 peers of the realm
and 82 persons in the civil service, and 25 in the police
and in offices of local government ; 209 officers, soldiers,
and pensioners, 103 members of the learned professions,
including 9 clergymen, 4 barristers, 23 solicitors, 3 phy-
sicians, 12 surgeons, 43 men of letters, men of science,
or artists ; 478 men engaged in entertaining, clothing,
performing personal offices, including 12 eating and coffee
house keepers, 88 domestic servants, 60 inn servants, 15
hairdressers, 108 tailors out of 20,257, and 139 shoe-
makers out of 26,639. Of the mercantile class 189 men
died, including 10 merchants, 1 banker, 5 stock-
brokers, 67 commercial clerks ; of the carrying class 484
died ; of men engaged in agriculture and in gardens 85
died. The deaths of men engaged about horses and
animals, as grooms, jockeys, horsekeepers, and others,
were 50 ; of men engaged in art and mechanical pro-
ductions, 670 ; butchers and men engaged in working
and dealing in animal matters, 201 ; greengrocers, ba-
kers, licensed victuallers, and persons working and
dealing in vegetable matters, 469 ; men working and deal-
ing in coal, iron, and other minerals, 308 ; labourers
and others (branch of labour undefined), 237 ; men of
rank or property not returned under any office or occu-
pation, 142 ; and 81 men had no specified occupation.

Letters Patent for valuable and extraordinary improvements
in the most powerful and brilliant Telescopes, Camp, Race-
course, Opera, and Perspective Glasses, to know the distances
of objects viewed through them—of great importance to the
army, navy, and others. These telescopes possess such extra-
ordinary powers that some 33 inches, with an extra eye-
piece, will show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's ring,
and the double stars ; with the same telescope can be
seen a person's countenance three miles and a half distant,
and an object from 16 to 20 miles. They are of larger and al'.
sizes, with increasing powers accordingly ; while their vary-
inn. from 4 to 6 inches enable us to discover more than the
above, and. the Georgian, with his 6 satellites, &c.—The Royal
Exhibition, 1851.—Valuable, newly-invented, very small,
powerful waistcoat-pocket glass,the size of a walnut, by which
a person can be seen and. known 1 miles distant; they answer
every purpose on the race-course, and at the opera house.,
country scenery, and ships are clearly seen at 8 to 10 miles.
They aro invaluable for shooting, deer-stalking, yachting, to
sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers, and tourists. Opera,
race-course, camp, and perspective glasses, with wonderful
power.—Newly-constructed Spectacle Lenses of the great-
est transparent power. The valuable advantage deriveC
from this invention is, that vision becoming impaired is
preserved and strengthened, and very aged persons an
enabled to employ their sight at the most minute ocetz-
pation—can see with these lenses of a much less magnify-
ing power—and they do not require the frequent changes
to the dangerous effects of further powerful assistance. Deaf-
ness—New Discovery.—The Organic Vibrator, an extraordi-
nary powerful, small, newly-invented instrument for deafness,
entirely different from all others, to surpass anything of the
kind that has been, or probably ever can be, produced.
Being of the same colour as the skin, is not perceptible ; it
enables deaf persons to hear distinctly at church and at
public assemblies ; the unpleasant sensation of singing seises
in the ears is entirely removed ; and it affords all the assist-
ance that possibly could be desired. 39, Albemarle-street,
