HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK.
(Brian the Register-General's Report)
'rho work that ended last Strurday brought a con-
siderable aen,-ssion to the mortality of. London, which-
rose bigher.than'it had been in the eleven weeks pre-
ceding. In the week ending 3d July, with a mesa.
t,moerature or 59.7 deg., the rea.ths registered were.
987; in last we-k ending 10Th July, with a mean tem-
perature of 70.9 deg., they were 1,080, showing an in
ereat-eof nearly 100.

In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1842-51-
the' average. number of deaths was 889, which, with
correction for increase of population, will be 978. The
present return, therefore, .shows_ a mortality greater
than the estimated amount by 102. The average tear'
perature of the corresponeirg.weelts. was 62 deg. From
hero facts it seems reasoeaule to draw the inference,_
i-tat a sud(lee itcreasteof heat sbove the average, to the
m,e.int of nine degrees, has shortened the lives of more
:hat. at hundred perses,
A c,.m0,06.11 of the returns of the last two weeks sr
pears to show that extreme heat has been unfavourable.
to the young and the old, while with regard to the middle
,ged its tendency has been ben, finial, except to such Of
these as were labouring under consumption. In the
week ending 33 July 416 children died under 15 years,:
last week the number rose to 505,exhibiting an increase of
21 per cont..; in the previous week. 187 i..ersons of 60
years and upwards sunk under disease, last weak the;
was. 203, shoring an increase of about 9 per,
cent.;, whereas the deaths about the middle age decreased
!row 383 in the termer week to 349 in the last. But it
will be ebserved that the number of fatal eases of phthi-
sis among persons between 15 and 60 years rose froth
110 in the preceding week t 0.127 recorded in the present
return.

. . . .
Still comparing the facts of the last two week,
appears that there is., an
.increase in the epidemic)
class, arising partly from scarlatina,' and partly from
a greater prevalence of diarrhoea; that diseases er
the brain
,and nervous system .numbered in heal
returns 1314. while those of the digestive organs rot°
from 59 to 74, and those of the respiratory organs from
91 to 122. .This important increase in thelastementioned
class is due.to a greatetiatality of bronchitis and inflam-
mation of the lungs among children, for while only 39
of the'young.died in the. previous week of these disease*
they carried off 63 in the last.
In the York-road on, the sth of July, the son of a
gardener, aged 7 years, died of " ascites and albutai"
nuria supervening on scarlatina." Three fatal cases '
of scarlatina have occurred _in this family, and as'
other member of it—is not expected to live. On •
making inquiry (says Mr. Child) respecting the
drainage, I find that the cesspools emptY, them-
selves into-the front of the houses, and there the reface
lies for want of a proper sewer to carry it away, Havil -
had ati interview with the landlord upon the subject,
am told that• he has made several•applications to the.
Commissioners of Sewers, and has paid heavy rates sine*
they have had the 'matter in their hands, yet he cai3o
get assistance in any way.
Twenty-four deaths occurred last week from weir
pox; two of•these in the•Smalt-pox Hospital. The•fo'
lowing are the particultds of 'the latter:— ' :
On pth July a woman, aged 21 years, from Williarn"
street, Kvnningtoia, died of pox, confluent,
protected (14 days)."

7th July, a 'gentleman,' aged 22 yeays, died of "debility

pit-yard, Medford-row, on tee' 9th July, the son of air
horse-keeper, apt] 6 months, died of "dierrhcea

the child, that he did no.cinoW 'where to take hiin." Oa

Mr. Ross, the registrar
.of the sub-district, makes tie
following remarks:—" I regret that I have again to Fe:. -
turn two depths from small-pox, and. there are a great
number number of persons suffering from the disease in wy (J.!,
