Population., 1,418. The actual number is mere than
the estimated number by 22.

Smallpox exhibits a decided increase. In the two
previous weeks the deaths from it were respectively
23 and 25 ; in last week they rose to 42. Fifteen
out of the 42 occurred in the east districts, chiefly
Bethnal-green, Bow, and Poplar. Seven were re-
turned by the Smallpox Hospital in Islington.
Scarlatina was fatal in 68 cases, diphtheria in 13,
and typhus in 59.
The deaths from phthisis were 159 (against a
corrected average of 164) ; those from bronchitis
167, against an average of 188; and those from
pneumonia 72, against 104.
Three cases of infanticide are recorded in the
week.
A man, aged 58 years, died in Middlesex Hos-
pital from elephantiasis, for which an operation was
performed. A labourer, aged 66 years, was found
dead in a van in George-street, 'Whitechapel, from
" disease of the lungs, accelerated by want of food
and other necessaries."

Eight nonagenarians died in the week, the oldest
of whom was a widow, aged 98 years.
Last week the births of 1,163 boys and 1,077
girls, in all 2,240 children, were registered in Lon- ,
don. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years
1853-62 the average number (corrected) was 2,009.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 30.167 in.
The mean daily reading was above 30in. through-
out the week. The reading rose to 30 30in. on

the morning of the sth of February to the end of
the month it has been constantly above 30in.; and
it hes been above its average reading on everyday
from tt.e 4th. The mean temperature of the air in
the week was 43.4 deg., which is 4 deg. above the
average of the same week in 43 years (as deter-
mined by Mr. Glaisher). The mean daily tempera-
ture was above the average throughout the week.
The lowest night temperature was 32.2 deg. on
Monday. The highest day temperature was 55. e,
deg. 7
on Saturday, on which day the thermometer
fell to 32.9 deg., and the range of temperature was
22.8, and was almost as great as the range in the
week. The mean of the highest temperature of the
Water of the Thames was 43.7 deg.; that of the
lowest was 41 2 deg. The difference between the
mean dew point temperature and air temperature
was 5.1 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the
air was 82. The wind was on Sunda; and MondaN
generally in the north west ; it then turned to the
northeast, and on the last four days it blew from
the aonth-weat. There was hardly a drop of rain.
