ROYAL MARINES.
C lend Robert Mercer, Comtnandant of the Woolwich
division, has fourteen days' leave of absence.
Lieutenant Colonel M'Adam, Captain Congden, Cap-
tain Penrose, Lieutenant and Quartermaster Dyer,
Lieutenant Dougla9, and Lieutenant Harrington have
each of them two months' leave of absence, which will
expire on the 3J of October, 1852.
An augmentation of this corps is much required, as
there are so many men serving afloat that the duty is
heavy for those at head-quarter stations. When the re-
lict at Deptford took place last week, a detachment of
the Royal Artillery had to do duty at Woolwich Dock-
yard.

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK,
(From the Registrar-General's Report.)
The health of London in the week ending Saturday,
31st July, has been disturbed by the prevalence of
summer cholera and diarrhoea, yet the deaths have
been 1,040, or 118 below the weekly average, which
in the previous ten years was, when corrected for in-
crease of population, 1,158. 532 males and 508 fe-
males died in the week; the mortality bore moat
heavily on early life ' • for of 1,040 who died, 586
were children under 15 years of age, 289 were in the
middle stage of life extending from 15 to 60, and 165
were of the age of 60 and upwards. A woman at-
tained the advanced age of 96. One death in seven
occurred in a public institution : namely, 92 in work-
houses, 39 in hospitals, 6 in lunatic asylums, I in
prison, Bin Greenwich and Chelsea Hospitals. The
districts of Chelsea and Greenwich, as well as Ken-
sington and Wandsworth, experienced more than the
usual mortality.
During the week 18 deaths are assigned to small-pot;
2 cases are recorded as having occurred after vaccina-
tion. Fifteen children were left unprotected by their
parents, and died the victims of this negligence; 54
children died of scarlatina, which is prevalent; 34 per-
sons of typhus; 145 of consumption; 45 children of
convulsions; 31 persons (all, except two,
foadults)o2fsdi-
sease of

Diarrheea was the reigning disease; it was fatal to 110
children, 7 adults, and 8 persons of advanced age. It
often approached in the severity of its symptoms to
summer cholera, of which 10 children, 4 adults, and:
persons over the age of 60 died. Here, as in epidemics
cholera, early and prompt medical treatment is called for.
The following are the returns of the 16 cases of cholera
registered in the week. In conformity with a suggestion
in the cholera report, " summer" has been substituted
.throughout for "English" cholera, which is often used
in the medical certificates, although the disease prevails
ell
over the world, and is by no means confined to Eng-
land:—

malignant cholera in my district during this season, bat
it has occurred in a street in which the cholera most
fearfully raged in 1849; the first and last cases of
cholera (in my district) of that year took place in this
street. The beadle informs me that the inhabitants
complain bitterly cf the landlord's neglect in not attend-
ing to the cesspools of the house, 5, Fair-street, and I
can certify to the tenants making the same complaint in
1849 in this and in other houses in the same street,
where cases of cholera occurred."
