HEALTH OF LONDON DURINO THE WEEK.

(From the Registrar-General's Report.)

The Registrar-General reports that the number of
deaths registered in London, in the week that ended on
Saturday last, was 1,204, and shows a small increase on
those of the two previous weeks. In the ten corre-
sponding weeks of the years 1844-53, the average num-
ber was 1,091, which, with a correction for increase of
population, becomes 1,200. The actual result of last
week agrees very closely with the calculated amount.
While diseases of the respiratory organs have de-
clined, those of the zymotic class have increased. Deaths
referred to the latter (viz., epidemics) were 263 last
week, which is more than the corrected average by 19.
looping-cough is still fatal, and carried off 78 children ;
the mortality of croup is unusual, the deaths from it
having risen to 17 ; diarrhoea numbers 31. Only one
death from cholera was registered, it occurred on Jan.
28, on board the ship Emma, of Union-stairs, Wapping.
The deceased was a carpenter, aged 65 years, and the
cause of death is certified, •' diarrhoea (three days),
cholera (24 hours)." This disease, which unhappily
has kept its ground in various parts of the island,
notwithstanding the sharp frosts of winter, has almost
disappeared from London—however brief the respite
may be. In the last week in 1853, 10 deaths from
cholera were registered ; in 5 weeks of the current year
the whole number has been only 6.
Last week the births of 857 boys and 798 girls, in all
1,655 children, were registered in London. In the
nine corresponding weeks of the years 1845.53 the ave-
rage number was 1,470.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 29.958 inches.
The reading of the barometer decreased from 29.98 in.
at the beginning of the week to 29.70 in. by 1011. a.m.
on the 29th ; increased to 30.09 in. by 9 h. a.m. on the
31st; decreased to 29.82 in. by 8 h. a.m. on the Ist
February, increased to 30.22 in. by 9 h. a.m. on the 3d ;
and decreased to 29.73 in. by the end of the week. The
mean temperature of the week was 42 deg., which is 4.3
der,. above the average of the same week in 38 years.
The excess of mean daily temperature was 5.8 deg. on
Sunday, 11.8 deg. 6n Monday, 11.3 deg. on Tuesday,
7.9 deg. on Wednesday, only 0.4 deg. on Thursday. Oii
the last two days the mean temperature was below the
average. The mean dew-point temperature was 39.3
deg. The temperature of the water Gf the Thames rose
to 46 deg. and upwards on Wednesday, Thursday, and
Friday. The wind, which blew from the south-west on
the first four days, afterwards changed to north.
