HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK.

(From, the Report of the Registrar-General. )
The total nnmber of deaths registered in the metro-
polis in the week that ended last Saturday was 1,188,
and exhibits a decrease on that of the preceding seek,
when 1,343 were registered. In the ten weeks, corre-
sponding to last week, of the years 1844-53, the average
number was 1,122, which if raised in proportion to in-
crease of population becomes 1,234. The deaths re-
turned last week are, therefore, leas by 46 than the cal-
culated amount.
The 1,188 deaths now returned are thus distributed in
three periods of life :-562 children died under 15 years
of age, 348 men and women at 15 and under 60 years,
254 at 60 years and upwards. The corrected averages
of deaths in the three classes, as derived from corre-
sponding weeks in previous years, are the following :-
531, 419, and 282. Hence it appears that the rate of
mortality among children last week was rather greater
than usual, whilst in middle and more advanced life the
number dying was below the average.
Hooping-cough appears to be still prevalent among
children, 71 cases of this disease having ended fatally
last week. Measles caused 21 deaths, scarlatina, 22,
croup 8, diarrhoea 22 (16 of which occurred to children).
There were ten deaths from small-pox, 6of these under
10 years of age ; 5 from influenza. It will be seen that
no death from cholera has been registered in London in
the last five weeks, and only seven in the present year.
In the sub-district of Hoxton New Town, at 46,
Forston-street, on 11th March, a gentleman, aged 66
years, died of "nervous irritation occasioned by a sudden
fright on the approach of the chartist rioters, producing
imbecility (about 6 years), insanity and paralysis (about
2 months)."
Last week the births of 883 boys and 881 girls, in all,
1,764 children, were registered in London. In the nine
corresponding weeks of the years 1845-53 the average
number was 1,511.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
reading of the barometer in the week was 29.997 in.
The mean daily reading was above 30 in. on Wednesday,
Thursday, and Friday. The mean temperature rose
from 43.8 deg., and that of the previous week, to 47.2
deg., in the last, which is 5.7 deg. above the average of
the weeks, corresponding to last week, in 38 years. It
was above the average last week on every day except
Saturday. The highest mean of the week occurred on
Monday, and was 52.1 deg., or 10.9 deg. above the
average ; the lowest was 41 deg. on Saturday, or 0.8
degree below the average. The highest temperature of
the week was 64.2 deg. on Monday, the lowest 31.3 deg.
on Saturday. The mean dew-point temperature was
39.5 deg. The wind blew from south and south-west
till Thursday, when it changed to north-west and north.
No rain fell till Saturday, on which day the fall was
0.13 in.

to scale, the owner of Tipperary Boy objected to the
winner, and also to the second horse, on the ground that
neither owners and riders were qualified according to
the conditions of the race. The case was forthwith in-
vestigated by the stewards, who decided that the objec-
tion was valid. All bets therefore respecting the two
horses void.
