REALM OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK.

(Prom the Report of the Registrar-General. )
Cholera is now rapidly declining in London, and the
deaths by it have fallen from 2,050 in the first week to
754 in the last week of September.
The present epidemic eruption began later than the
eruption of 1849, and it has latterly been more fatal ;
but the aggregate mortality will yet probably be less
than it was in 1849 ; for the deaths by cholera in that
year down to September 29th were 13,098, while the
deaths in the present epidemic down to September 30th

Lave been 9,707. -
Yet the loss of nearly ten thousand, or including the
deaths by diarrhoea, of twelve thousand lives, within a
few weeks, in the chief city of the empire, is an appalling
fact, demanding the strict investigation into all its details
which the Board of Health has directed to be instituted.
Is London to continue every five years to be attacked
by pestilence, and to lose so many thousands of its inha-
bitants! Cannot the conditions in which disease is fatal
be determined, and cannot they be removed ? To 'assist
in the solution of these questions, the area of the several
sub-districts, as well as the elevation of the ground, is
given in the annexed list.
The 2,216 deaths from all causes, registered in the
week, include the deaths of many persons on whom in-
quests had been held in previous weeks.
