HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK.

(From the Ropstrar-General'sly Return.)
In the week that ended last Saturday the deaths
in London fell to 1,271; they were fewer than they
bad been in any week since the end of last year. In
the first week of the current month they were 1,505.
The average number of deaths for the third week
of March, or for seven days nearly corresponding
with it (in ten years 1852-61), after correction for
increase of population, is 1,410 ; therefore the deaths
in the present return are less by 139 than they
would have been if the average rate of mortality
had prevailed.
Tt if; very satisfactory to notice a decided decrease
last week in the deaths from typhus ;
they were 63,
which is about half the number that the number s returned
in the first week of the present month.
T
however is still above the corrected average, which
h. Typhus was fatal
is 44. There were 50 deaths from scarlatina, and,
