HEALTH OF LONDON.

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

In the week that ended on Saturday, December
2, the births registered in London and ten other
large towns of the United Kingdom were 4;079 ;
the deaths registered, 3,050. The annual rate of
mortality was 28 per 1,000 persons living.
In London the births of 1,058 boys, and 1,013
girls, in all 2,071 children, were registered in the
week. In the corresponding weeks of ten years,
1855-64, the average number, corrected for increase
of population, was 1,968.
The deaths registered in London during the week
were 1,368. It was the 48th week of the year ; and
the average number of deaths for the week is, with
a correction for increase of population, 1,569. A
comparison of the two result: is satisfactory; for it
shows that the actual mortality was less by 200
deaths than the amount obtained by computation
for the last week of November.

The deaths from diarrhcea, are 24, and exhibit a
slight decrease on those of the two previous weeks.
The corrected average for ten corresponding weeks
(in the year 1855-64) is 18. The deaths referred
to typhus are numerous : they are 88 against a
corrected average of 57. There were 53 from scar-
latina and 11 from diphtheria. Bronchitis numbered
151 cases, being a less number than was recorded in
any of the three previous weeks.
The two following cases are referred to cholera in
the Table of Causes of Death :—at 60, Wentworth-
street, Spitalfields, on November 17, a skin dyer,
aged 54 years, " sudden ; choleraic diarrhcea ;" and
at 5, Little Weymouth-street, Marylebono, on
November 30, the wife of a journeyman carpenter,
aged 21 years, " choleraic diarrhcea during child-
birth."

On the 24th and 22d of November respectively,
at 27, Grey Eagle-street, Spitalfields, a furniture
packer and his wife died of " typhoid fever, engen-
dered by overcrowding and the filthy condition of
the house and neighbourhood." (Inquests.)

Eight deaths from typhus occurred in the Hack-
ney sub-district. Out of 38 from measles, five were
in the south sub-district of Chelsea ; four in Somers-
town.

In Shoreditch Workhouse, on the 31st October,
a shoemaker, aged 34 years, died of " inflammation
and ulceration of the bowels, accelerated by want
of proper and nourishing food, and the want of
medical attention." (Inquest.)
The four following deaths by horses and carriages
were registered in the week :—At Highbury-grove
a greengrocer, aged 47 years, fell from a cart. Died
on the 27th of November in St. Bartholomew's
Hospital. At Merton, Surrey, a labourer, aged 32
years, fell out of a cart. Died on the 20th of

Bristol, 30 in Hull, and 36 in Glasgow. The rate
in Vienna was 24 per 1,000 during the week ending
the 25th ult., when the temperature was 11.9 deg.

There were 256 deaths in Vienna during the week

Southampton.—Among the population of this
borough (estimated in the middle of the present
year at 53,001) 15 deaths were registered during
the week ending last Saturday ; of these 4 were
again referred to scarlatina ; no death resulted from
cholera. The annual rate of mortality during the

The barometrical pressure was 28.93 in. on Sunday ;
it rose to 29.91 in. on Friday. The mean tempera-
ture of the air in the week was 43.7 deg., which is
2.3 deg. above the average of the same week in 50
years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The mean
daily temperature was always above the average,
except on Monday. The highest day temperature
was 51 deg. on Sunday ; the lowest night tempera-
ture was 32.6 dcg. on Monday. The mean daily
range of the thermometer was 9.2 deg. The dif-
ference between the mean dew-point temperature
and air temperature was 3 deg. The mean degree
of humidity of the air was 89, complete saturation
being represented by 100. Rain fell on five days,
chiefly on Sunday and Tuesday ; and the amount
was 0.72 in. On the evening of Saturday Mr.
Glaisher ascended in a balloon, and found the wind
changed from S.E. to S.S.W. at the height of 3,000
feet, and again fell in with south-east wind on de-
scending to the same height.
