HEALTH OF LONDON.

(From the Registrar-General's Weekly Report.)

In the week that ended on Saturday, the. 30th,
the births registered in London and ten other large
towns of the United Kingdom were 4,277 ; the
deaths registered, 2,666. The annual rate of mor-
tality was 24 per 1,000 persons living.
Ia London the births of 1,066 boys and 1,090
girls, in all 2,156 children, were registered in the
week. In the corresponding weeks of ten years,
1855-64, the average number, corrected for in-
crease of population, was 1,928.
The deaths registered in London during the week
were 1,214. It was the 39th week of the year, and
the average number for that week was, with a cor-
rection for increase of population, 1,233. Hence
it appears that the mortality was slightly below the
average for the end of September.
The deaths from diarrhoea in the four weeks of
September were 89, 85,- 83, and (last week) 92.
The highest number of fatal cases of diarrhoea in
ten corresponding weeks was 79, in that of 1857 ;
and the lowest 40, in that of 1859. The unusual
heat of the present season appears to have raised
the mortality from this complaint to a degree
slightly above what has been previously experienced
in the last week of September.
Besides those from diarrhoea, four deaths, one of
which was that of a child, were referred to cholera.
The three following occurred to adults :—At 11,
Church-street, Westminster, on the 26th of Sep-
lember, a. distiller's collector, aged 59 years, died of
" cholera biliosa," after five days' illness. At 4,
Kinder-street, Westminster, on the 23rd of Sep-
tember, a master tailor, aged 56 years ; " English
cholera (five days) fever." At 14, Crab-street,
Shot-road, Camberwell, on the 23rd of September,
the wife of a watchmaker, aged 62 years ; " cholera
(three weeks)."

Three deaths from scarlatina occurred in the sub-
district of St. Mary, St. George-in-the-East, in the
north part of which this disease is said to prevail.
The following four cases are recorded in which
accidents in the streets by horses and conveyances
were attended by fatal results :—On the 20th of
Sept., a builder, aged 28 years, fell from a cart ;
died in the Great Northern Hospital. In Farring-
don-street, on the 21st of Sept., a skidman, aged 52
years, run over by a cab ; died in St. Bartholo-
mew's Hospital. Atl43, Packington-street, Isling-
ton, on the 27th of Sept., the wife of a commercial
traveller, aged 35 years, fell from a vehicle. Found
dead in Bridge-street, Hackney, on the 20th of
Sept., the daughter of an ostler, aged 7 years, run
over by a waggon.
The annual rate of mortality last week was 21 per
1,000 in London, 26 in Edinburgh, and 25 in Dub-
lin ; 33 in Liverpool, 34 in Manchester, 28 in Sal-
ford, 24 in Birmingham, 31 in Leeds, 19 in Bristol,
29 in Hull, and 26 in Glasgow. The rate in Vienna
was 26 per 1,000 during the week ending the 9th
ult., when the temperature was 1.2 deg. Fahren-
heit lower than in the same week in London, where
the rate was 20 per 1,000.
In Liverpool the births were 411, the deaths 305 ;
in Manchester the births 231; the deaths 233 ; in
Salford the births 90, the deaths 59 ; in Birming-
ham the births 339, the deaths 148 ; in Leeds, the
births 219, the deaths 133 ; in Bristol the births
120, the deaths 60 ; in Hull the births 80, the deaths
57 ; in Edinburgh the births 106, the deaths 88 ; in
Glasgow the births 330, the deaths 215 ; and in
Dublin the births 195, the deaths 154. There were
279 deaths in Vienna during the week ending the
9th ult.

At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 30.090 in.
The mean reading was above 30in. on five days of
the week. The reading was 30.31 in. on Sunday, and
fell to 29.91 in. on Saturday. The mean temperature
of the air in the week was 59.3 deg., which is 4.9
deg. above the average of the same week in 50 years
(as determined by Mr. Glaisher.) The mean tem-
perature was considerably above the average through-
out the week. The highest day temperature was
77.6 deg., on Wednesday ; the lowest night tempe-
rature was 43.5 deg., on Thursday. The range of the
thermometer in the week was, therefore, 34.1 deg.
The mean daily range was 23.4 deg. The difference
between the mean dew-point temperature and air
temperature was 7.1 deg. The mean degree of hu-
midity of the air was 77, complete saturation being
represented by 100. The air was often calm, at
other times the wind blew from N.E. and E.S.E.
There was no rain. On Monday and three follow-
ing days there were early morning fogs and heavy
dews.

Social Science Congress at Sheffield.

The ninth annual meeting of the Association for
the Promotion of Social Science, which opens this
afternoon at Sheffield, promises to be attended with
considerable success. In venturing to the great
headquarters of industry in steel the Association has
diverged a little from the ordinary well-worn circuit
of scientific associations, and no doubt some extra
trouble has been entailed thereby upon those who,
in the metropolis as well as on the spot itself, hold
themselves responsible for the success of the annual
expedition. Advantages, however, are always to be
gained from breaking fresh ground, and this year
special benefits are expected to connect themselves
with this visit to the heart of the manufacturing
district. Not merely are what may be called the
pet ideas of the Association and the stores of
knowledge winnowed from much surrounding
matter by the patient labour of previous sessions,
carried down to novel fields, and diffused among
classes that hitherto have betrayed, by name at

11 Among other interesting discussions looked for
in the course of the meeting will naturally be
that upon the expediency of further regulation of
the labour of children, with a view to pro-
mote their education. This is just one of those
controversies possessing an immediate local in-
terest, and certain to be keenly contested. The two
Employment Commissioners, whose names are so fa-
miliar in connexion with this subject, will maintain
what maybe called the affirmative view and willmeet
unhesitating opponents in the persons of two working
men, both speakers of no mean repute. In the Health
Department, papers affecting those questions of such
magnitude in the present day—the spread of con-
tagious disease and the contamination of air in
towns—are promised. To one essay, on the unne-
cessary exposure of workmen to dangers of life and
health in collieries, mines, and manufactories,
weighty as well as painful interest will attach from
the fact that the gentleman who brings it forward
is called on, in the discharge of professional duties,
to attend no less than 28,000 persons annually, all
