HEALTH OF THE METROPOLIS,

(From the Registrar's-General's Weekly Return.)
The mortality of London last week was considerably
higher than is usual at this period of the year, but exhibits
a reduction as compared with that of the previous week.
The deaths registered in the last three weeks were 1,798,
2,427, and 2,180. The temperatures of the air in the
same periods were 261 deg., 36.8 deg., and 44.5 deg.
In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1854-63 the
average number of deaths was 1,389, which, with a correc-
tion for increase of population, becomes 1,529, therefore the
deaths were more than the estimated amount by 651.:
The deaths last week exceeded the births in the same
period by 104.
The deaths referred to pulmonary diseases (exclusive of
phthisis) were 744, the corrected average being 385. Bron-
chitis was more fatal than any other disease, and caused
498 deaths; the average number is 225. The deaths as-
cribed to pneumonia are 148, while the average is 111.
Phthisis or consumption carried off 246 persons, the ave-
rage being 172.
403 deaths occurred from zymotic diseases, including 88
from typhus, 73 from scarlatina, 77 from whooping-cough,
34 from measles, and 12 from smallpox. 183 persons died
from affections of the brain and nervous system, and 100
from diseases of the heart.
771 persons died under 20 years of age, 712 at 20 and
under 60 years, and 690 at 60 years and upwards. The
deaths of 18 nonagenarians are recorded, the oldest of
whom w‘s a widow, who had attained the age of 97 years.
A man, aged 40 years, died at 21, Mint-street, South-
wark, from destitution, accelerated by previous illness. A
servant, aged 60 ears, died in the Strand Union Work-
house from typhus, caused by destitution. The wife of a
shoemaker, aged 77 years, was found dead at 2, Saville-
street, Marylebone, from effusion of serum on the brain,
accelerated by the want of proper necessaries of life. The
wife of a coach-trimmer died at Campbell-street, Kensing-
ton, from effusion on the brain, caused by opium eating. A
needle-woman, aged 73 years, died at 15, Paradise. street,

Marylebone, from carbuncle.
Last week the births of 1,063 boys and 1,013 girls, in all
2,076 children, were registered in London. In the ten cor-
responding weeks of the years 1854 63 the average number

. _
(corrected) was 1,973.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height
of the barometer in the week was 29.87 a in. The barometri-
cal reading was 30.14 in. on Wednesday, and decreased to
29.64 in. on Saturday. The mean temperature of the air in
the week was 44.5 deg., which is 7'7 deg. above the average
of the same week in 43 years, as determined by Mr.
Glaishor. The highest day temperature was 63'2 dog., on
Saturday. The lowest night temperature was 32'5 on Sun-
day. The entire range of temperature in the week was there-
fore 201 deg. The mean temperature of the water of the
Thames was 39 deg. The differense between the mean dow
point temperature and air temperature was 2.8 deg. The
moan degree of humidity of the air was 90, complete satura-
tion being represented by 100. A dense fog prevailed on
Monday. Rain fell frequently during the week. The gene-
ral direction of the wind was south-west.

BRIGHTON ELECTION.—Mr. Otway's retirement
virtually leaves Mr. Dumas sole possessor of the field, as
he is the only candidate pubbely before the constituency,
though young Mr. Goldsniidt, who has issued an address,
and Mr. Fawcett are still talked of as possible competi-
tors in", the Liberal interest. A sort of burlesque opposi-
tion on the part of the Tories is likewise spoken of, in the
person of Mr. Paul Foskett, an exaggerated echo of Messrs.
Wlictlley Novidegate and-
