HEALTH OF LONDON.

(From the Registrar-General's Report.)
The deaths registered in London in the week
that ended last Saturday were 1,441, showin
slight increase on the number in the previous wee g k,a
which was 1;413. If the deaths from epidemic
cholera in the 35th week of 1854 are excluded, it
will be found that the average number of deaths in
the weeks corresponding with last week was 1,113,
which corrected for increase of population will be-
come 1,227. Hence it appears that the deaths last
week were 214 in excess of the estimated number.
The deaths from zymotic diseases were 613.
Under, this head are inc:uded seven deaths from
smallpox, 58 from measler, 62 from scarlatina, 18
from diphtheria, 23 from whoopingcough, 87 front
typhus,. 180 from diarrhoea, and nine from cholera.
Of the 180 deaths caused by diarrhoea, 159 were
of children under five years of age, and the nine
victims of cholera were cruder two years of age.
Of the 1,441 persons who died during the week,
800 wero under 20 years of age, 210 were 20 and
under 40, 180 were 40 and under 60, 207 were 60
and under 80, and 41 were 80 years of age and up.
wards. The deaths of five nonagenarians are re.‘
corded; the oldest was a man who had attained the
age of 93 years.

One hundred and fifty-ono persons died fro•nl
phthisis, the total number of persons dying from,
other diseases of the respiratory organs, bronchitis,
pneumonia, asthma, &c., being 149.

Last week the births of 970 boys and 897 girlsi, in.
all 1,867 children, were registered in London. In
the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1854-63
the average number (corrected) was 1,872.

At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 29.775 in.
The barometrical reading was 30.13 iu. at the begin.
ning of the week, and decreased to 2952 in. on
Saturday. The mean temperature of the air in the
week was 60.3 deg., which is 1.3 deg. above the
average of the same week in 43 years (as determined
by Mr Glaisher). The highest day temperature was
81.0 deg. on Tuesday. The lowest night tempera.
tare was 47.4 deg. on Thursday. The entire range
of temperature in the week was therefore 33.6 deg.
The mean temperature of the water of the Thames
was 61.3 deg. The difference between the mean
dew-point temperature and air temperature was 9.1
deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was
73, complete saturation being represented by 100.
Rain fell during the week to the amount of 0.33 in.
The general direction of the wind was southwest.
The births registered in Dublin during the week
ending the 3d of September were 174, and the
deaths were 120, in a population of 254,808 (in
1861), spread over an area of 3,808 statute acres.
The numbers are kindly furnished by the Registrar
General of Ireland.

The deaths in Vienna, as returned by Dr. Glatter,
were 280 in the week ending the 27th August,when
the mean temperature was 61'2 deg., that at Gri:en4

SEPTEMBER 6.
The following despatches have been received at the
Foreign Office, from Sir Frederick Bruce, her Majesty's
Minister in China, and from Mr Caine, her Majesty's Con-
sul at Swatow

Pekin, June 7, 1864:
My Lord,—l have the honour to enclose " Returns for
Shanghae of impart and export trade under foreign flags"
for the year 1863, published by Cninese Customhouse. On
the last page there is a table giving the yearly amount of
foreign commerce, beginning with 1851.
The import trade has increased from taels 41,000,000
(about £13,000,000) in 1860 (the last year before the open-
in,' of the Yangtze and the northern ports), to taels
817000,000 (about £27,000,000) in 1863.
This increase is due, in a great measure, to the largo
and increasing trade, from the ports opened on the Yangtze,
in Chinese produce of ail descriptions. Owing to the vio-
lence of the winds and the rapidity of the currents in cer.
tain places, the ;application of steam to navigation was re-
quired before the Yangtze could be made available as a
highway for transport. The decks of the steamers are now
crowded with Chinese passensors, and their holds are
filled with produce destined, not for foreign export, but for
Chinese consumpti m. The practical advantages of foreign
inventions are thus brought home to masses of the popula-
tion in the very centre of China, and they can now avail
themselves of the natural outlet for the productions of those
rich internal provinces, instead of being driven to the slow
and circuitous method of artificial water communication,
and exposed to the exactions of officials of the different
provinces they had to puss through.
The large amount under the head of re-exports embraces
the trade in imports and exports which have been brought
