HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK.

(From the Report of the Registrar• General. )

The week that ended last Saturday produced a con-
siderable increase of mortality, the deaths in London
having risen from 1,135 in the previous week to 1,343,
the number now returned. Changes in the weather
appear to have acted injuriously on the public health ;
the mean temperature fell below the average on Friday
in the preceding week, and continued to fall on three
following days. On Monday it was only 34 deg., or
nearly 6 deg. below the average ; on Wednesday it rose
to 49.3 deg., which is 9.4 deg. above average ; on
Thursday it rose to 54.5 deg., or 14.3 deg. above the
average. The variation in the mean daily temperatures
of Tuesday and Thursday amounted to 17.8 deg.
In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1844-53
the average number of deaths was 1,083; which, if
raised in proportion to increase of population, becomes
1,191. The number returned last week, therefore, ex-
ceeds the calculated amount by 152. .

Deaths from bronchitis rose in the last two weeks
from 106 to 147 ; those by pneumonia from 81 to 103.
The total number caused by the diseases of the respira-
tory organs is 295, while the cerrected average is 257.
The total number referred to the class of epidemic dis-
eases is 254, the corrected average being 222.
Last week the births of 946 boys and 854 girls, in all
1,800 children, were registered in London. The average
number of nina corresponding weeks of the years 1845-53
was 1,491.

At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 30.229 in. The
mean daily reading was above 30 in. on every day, ex-
cept Friday. The highest mean was 30.539 in. on Sun-
day ; the lowest 29.962 in. on Friday. The mean tem-
perature of the week was 43.8 deg., which is 3.7 deg.
above the average of the same week in 38 years. The
mean daily temperature was below the average on the
first three days ; it was considerably above it during the
rest of the week. The highest temperature was 63 deg.,
on Thursday ; the lowest, 25.5 deg., on Monday, making
a range of 37.5 deg. The wind blew from the north-east
on Sunday, and mostly from the south-west on the last
five days.
