HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK.

(Prom the .Registrar-Oenerars Report.)

The mortality of the metropolis is still high, though it
exhibits an important decrease of the previous week. In
the week that ended last Saturday the number of deaths
registered were 1,340. The average number in ten corres-
ponding weeks of the years,lB43-52, was 961, which with a
correction for increase of population, will give a mortality
of 1,057 for last week. The present return, therefore,
shows an excess of 283 above the estimated amount. With
the progress of the spring months, and a warmer sky,
there is ground for expectation that the public health will
speedily improve. The mean temperatures of the last
three weeks have been progressively 33.3 deg., 43.4 deg.,
47.3 deg.
With reference to fatal diseases, a comparison of the
facts of the last two weeks discovers generally a decrease.
Typhus has declined from 77 to 49, brochitis from 231 to
186, pneumonia from 122 to 98, phthisis (consumption)
from 179 to 165. But hooping-cough, which prevails at
present, continues at the same amount, and last week
carried off 80 children. Five children died of small-pox,
17 of measles, 36 of scarlatina, and 12 of croup ; 5 persons
of influenza, 1 of purpura, 6 of laryngitis, 7 children of
laryngismus stridulus. Eight fatal cases of syphilis are
recorded, four of which occured to children. A woman,
aged 35 years, died from "grief and anxiety (12 months),
anaemia (3 month)."

Last week the 'births of 791 boys and 800 girls, in all
1591 children, were registered in London. In the eight
corresponding weeks of the years 1845-52 the average
number was 1368.

At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height
of the barometer in the week was 29.742 in. ; on Saturday
the mean reading was 30.149 in. The mean temperature
of the week was 47.3 deg., which is three deg. above the
average of the same week in 38 Years.
