HEALTH OF LONDON.

(From the Registrar General's Weekly Return.)
Last week there were 1,364 deaths in London. The report
for the week that ended on the 11th iust. showed an increase
of 100 deaths over those of the previous week; and the re-
turn for the week that ended last Saturday exhibits a fur-
ther increase of nearly 100 on the preceding number.
The average number of deaths in ten corresponding weeks
(viz,, a week in each of the years 1853-62) is fouad, with a
correction for increase of population, to be 1,223 ; and the
actual number of deaths is therefore in excess of the esti-
mated number by 141.
The increase in the mortality is caused chiefly by
diarrhea, the deaths from which rose from 47 and 91 in
toe two previous weeks to 148 last week. Besides the deaths
ferred to "diarrhea," there were also 16 from summer
cholera Of the 163 deaths referred to under both heads
142 occurred to infants under two years of age. Eleven
deaths from diarrhea in the west sub-district of Islington,
Where there were also 9 from scarlatina.
Small-pox was returned in 61 cases, 12 of which are
Stated to have occurred after vaccination. But the evidence
of vaccination, or of the successful performance of it, is
often of doubtful character. The mortality of the disease
given not much indication of decline ; it is satisfactory,
however, to know that it does not increase. Ten of the 51
deaths occurred in the Small-pox Hospital.
eOn July 7, in St. Martin's Workhouse, a man who had

‘o,et formerly a bedstead-maker, aged 62 years, died

usted state, and died in four days."—lnquest.
Two deaths in the week are referred to intemperance,
besides 6 to "delirium tremens."
A woman died at the age of 95 years, and another at 99.
Last week the births of 930 boys and 880 girls, in all
1,810 children, were registered in London. In the ten cor-
rosPonding weeks of the (corrected) was 1,803. years 1853-62 the average number
