HEALTHOF LONDON DURING THR WEEK.
5m
(From the Registrar-General's Report.)
od A thousand deaths were registered in the metropolis
in the wbek that ended last Saturday, showing an im-
portant increase on the previous week, in which the
I number was only 883. In connexion with this result
it will be remarked that the mean weekly tempera-
ture fell from 52.7 deg. and 55-6 deg. in the second
and third week of May to 50.8 deg. in the fourth, while
last week it was 52.5 deg., having been during the last
fortnight about 6 degrees below the average, to which
atmospheric change the increase of mortality is probably
to be attributed. In the four week's now mentioned the
rain that fell amounted to 2.21 in., though in the pre-
vious twelve weeks the entire amount was less than one
inch.
In the ten weeks corresponding to last week in the
years 1842-51 the average number of deaths was 877,
which, if raised in proportion to the increase of popula-
tion, becomes 965; the present number therefore ex-
hibits an excess of 35 above the estimated amount.
A comparison of facts in the last two returns shows
an increase in some epidemic complaints—namely,
measles, which rose from 16 deaths in the preceding
week to 23 in the last, diarrhea which rose from 13 to
20, typhus, &c., in which the numbers were respectively
38 to 49, whilst scarlatina increased from 41 to 63.
Pnemonia also rose from 46 to 58, whilst the mortality
of bronchitis was stationary. Phthisis suddenly became
more fatal, rising from 119 to 150 cases. Last week
the deaths of 4 children and 3 adults were registered as
caused by syphilitic disease.
In the present return the number of cases in which
small pox was fatal amounts to 40; those of 32 children
4 and 8 persons of 15 years of age and upwards. Five
of the sufferers are reported to have been previously
vaccinated; their ages were 6 months, and 5, 1.5, 16, and
35 years. Two deaths were registered in the Small-
pox Hospital ; of these the following are the parti-
culars :
On 31st May a labourer, aged 32 veers, from Brook-
green-terrace, Hammersmith, died of " small-pox, con-
fluent. unprotected (15 days),"

Mr. Watts, the Registrar, states that " this hospital is
still full, having had during the past week eighty patients
occupying beds. But at the Fever hospital only one
death has occurred since the 18th ult., and the number
of patients had decreased to ninety-two."
At 5, Hope-place, Islington. the son of a drover,
aged 13 years, died of "small-pox, confluent '(l6 days),
not vaccinated." The parents entertained an objection
to vaccination. In the east sub-district of Islington
% three children died of small-pox, none of venom
had been vaccinated, a cireumatauce which Mr. But-
terfield ascribes in two cases to " ignorance," and in
one to "prejudice of parents. At 5, Amelia..
place, Aldgate, on 3d June, the son of a tailor,
, aged 5 years, died of small-pox; he had not beenvaeci-
14 nated. Mr. Spencer adds that two other children who
had been vaccinated have escaped. The place is "Close

Captain Charles Talbot (1830) has been appointed to
the Meander, 44, as einem adore of the second elate and
Commander-in-Chief of the Cape of Good Hope station,
vice Wyvilt, in the Castor, 36, whose term of service has
expired. Commodore Talbot has terved 18 years
afloat. Ho was born Nov. 1, 1301; is second son of the
Very R. Charles Talbot, D.D., Dean „t slroto
(grandson of Charles, first Leril Talbot, Lerd High
Chat:ceder of England), by Lady Elizaeeth Somers%
daughter of Henry, fifth Duke of Be:invert, and grand-
daughter of Admiral don. Edward 13oscawen. 11e en_
terad the Royal Naval College August 19, 1851, and
embarked Dec. 7, 1817, as a volunteer on board tae Pro-
metheus sloop; was noteirieteil Oat. 17, 1822, actin..
lieutenant of the Dispatch, 18, Captain Clarkeh
Jetivoi3e. His promotion being confirmed on the 7th
Jan,, 1832, he was next appointed to the Eat-riles, 42,
fuel Rtiubow, 28, and attaioed, April 30, 1827, the
rartk of commander. Towaria the close of May, 1829,
Captain 'Pelbot commissioned the Helicon, 10, but that
vessel being found defective, he was transferred to the
lgerine brig. As a reward for the activity au had dis-
played in the performance of a detached service in Souih
taerica, he was, Nov. 25, 1830, promoted by the late
Sir Thomas Baker, Commander-in. Chief, into his own
flag-ship, the Warspite, 76. On the eight of April 6,
1831, an insurrection having broken out at Rio de Ja-
neiro, he had the fortune to rescue and bring off from
the Palace of San Christavao their Imperial Majesties,
also her Majesty Donna Maria of Portugal. and suite,
and the Marquis and. Marchioness of Loup-a service
which Don Pedro 11. subsequently acknowledged by pre-
renting him with the decoration of the Brazilian order of
Cruzero. His next appointment was to the Vestal, 26,
in which we?' he centinned from Nov. 2, 1843, until
paid off, in July, 1847. On August 18, 1845, being off
the northern end of Borneo, Captain Talbot was in-
trusted by Sir Thomas John Cochrane with the command
of the Maluda enterprise, when the loss they sustained
was great, extending to no less than six men killed and
fifteen wounded. It is scarcely necessary to add that
the distinguished gallantry and good conduct exhibited
on the occasion by Captain Talbot and his brave com-
panions had the effect of drawing from the Admiralty an
expression of its great admiration and eatisfaction.
Captain Talbot married, Dec. 11, 1838, Charlotte
Georgiana, widow of LieutaColontl Stapleton, and
daughter of the late MajareGeneral tho Hon. Sir Wm.
Ponsonby, K.C.5'., by whom he has issue a eon and two
daughters.
Commander Henry Phelps (1849), who was lucky
enough to get appointed to the command of the Ferret,
8, at Devonport, for coast of Africa service, has been
still more fortunate in obtaining the appointment of com-
mander in the Sanspareil, under that highly-favoured
officsr, Captain Deans.
Commander John A. L. Wharton (1848) has been
appointed a mail agent in a Calm of Good Hope screw-
steamer.
MALTA; JUNE 2.-On Saturday kat the Peninsular
and Oriental Company's steamer, with the outward India
mail on board, arrived in port, having performed her

The Fury is still in port, as are the Indefatigable and
Terrible; but it is thought they will immediately pro-
ceed to join the Admiral, who, by the last advises, was
at. Port Mahon.
Extract of a letter from Port Mahon, May 18:-
"You are aware we loft Malta on the 524tb, nod on the
28th were joined by tee Fury. On the 30th the Tra-
falgar, having carried away the slings of her umitiyard,
we anchored off Port Farina (Panic), until the follow-
ing morning, when we again got under weigh, the ren-
dezvous being Cape de Gatt. On the 4th of May we
had a heavy squall, accompanied with thunder, light-
ning. and hail. On the 10th we communicated with the
English brig Queen of the Tyne, from Newcastle, bound
to Tunis, from which vessel we received information
that she had seen a squadron of five sail off Cape do
Gat`, and that on the 7th she had passed a steamer. Is,
the evening, when in let. 37° 28' N., and long. 2° 0' 5"
E., Cape do Gatt bearing S. 77 W. 211 miles, we were
joined by the Vengeance, Aleion, Indefatigable, and
Phatton, certainly a splendid eddaion to our squadron.
" On the 11th spoke the Iteglish schooner Gwaine
Maid, from Girgengi, 11 days, having, while reefing
topgeliant sails, lost her foretoptnest, and two men over-
board, in consequence of which we supplied her with a
spar to replace her topmast. I have forgotten to men-
tion she belongs to Fishguarcl, and that we spoke her
in left 38 deg, 28 min. N,, long. 2 deg. 40 min. E.
We have lied the attest exercise at quarters, reefing
and furling sails, Sete, of watch it is esetegi to give an
rctount, sometimes one ship being first, sometimes an- 8'
other. We anchored in Port Mahon on the 15th, where 4d
we found the Antelope.. The Firebrand has had to do ,
all the work in towing, the Fury having had her ma- the
chinery out of order three times during the cruise, being 2801bs,
twice taken in tow by the Firebrand and once by the ahnid,
Bellerophon. -On coming into Mahon, the Fire- Ltni..Bu

It is rumoured in this port that the reason of the elk

PEMBROKE, JUNE 7.—The near completion of
it7,-r
leviathan line of battle screw steam-ship, the Winat
Castle, on the stocks in the Pembroke Dockyard,
cites, at the present time, a vast amount of etteolil
