HEALTH OP THE METROPOLIS.

(From the Registrar-Generals Weekly Return.)

The mortality falls with the progress of the spring
months, and in the week that ended on Saturday the deaths
in London were 1,307, and showed a decrease on those of
the previous week and a more important decrease on those
of the earlier weeks of April. The mean temperatures of
the four weeks of last month were the following-41.5 deg,
48 9 deg, 53.3 deg, and 47.6 deg.
The average number of deaths in the 17th week of 10
years 1854-63, is, with a correction for increase of popula-
tion, 1,321; and the result of last week's registration diffas
little from the average weekly mortality at the end of
April.

The deaths from phthisis were 170, and exhibit no de-
crease on those of the three preceding weeks, whilst those
from bronchitis were 197 in the first week of April, and 139
last week ; those from pneumonia in the same times were
104 and 79.

No deaths from smallpox were registered in the week, a
circumstance which has not occurred before since the pre-
valence of that din: se in the metropolis. 45 deaths oc-
curred from scarlatina. Four children in one family died
on four consecutive days in Elizabeth-street, Chelsea, from
" scarlatina maligns,"

A child, aged two years, died of laryngitis, from drinking
hot water from the spout of a kettle.
Six persons were killed by horses and street-conveyances.
Last week the births of 1,006 boys and 910 girls, in all
1,046 children, were registered in London. In the ten
corresponding weeks of the years 1851-63 the average
number (corrected) was 1,971.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height
of the barometer in the week was 30 inches. The reading
rose to 30.10 inches on Sunday, and fell to 29'95 inches on
Thursday. The mean temperature of the air in the week
was 47.6 deg, which is 0.7 deg below the average of the
same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher).
The lowest night temperature was 37/ deg, on Monday;
and the highest day temperature was 62.4 deg, on Friday.
The range of temperature in the week was therefore 24 7
deg. The mean daily range was 16.3 deg. On Thursday
the
mean dew-point temperature and air temperature was 6.1
deg. '1 he mean degree of humidity of the air was 80, com-
plete saturation being represented by 100. The general
m range was only 8.1 deg. The difference between the
direction of the wind was north-east. There was no rain
measured in the week. The highest reading in the sun
was 103.6 deg, on Monday. The mean of the highest tem-
peratures of the water of the Thames was 58•6 deg; that of
the lowest was 64.6 deg,
