11&;.LTEL OF LONDON DURING THE

WEEK.

(From the Report of the Registrar•Gcneral.)

The total deaths in London, which in the previous
week were 969. rose to 1,006 in the week that ended
last Saturday. The average number in the tsn weeks
corresponding to last week of the year 1846.55, was
1,032 ; and if this number is to be compared with the
deaths now returned, it must be raised in proportion to
increase of population, when it will become 1,135. The
comparison shows a difference of 129 in favour of the
return of last week.

'The births regis'.;ered last week exceeded the deaths
registered in the same time by 605.
Diseases of the zymo io class numbered 238 •lea•hs ;
the corrected average of corresponding weeks is 293. In
the numbers referre respectively to the dices-es that
compose this class, scarlatina stands highest ; it was
fatal in 56 ca-es, typhus or common fever in 49, hooping•
(rough in 37, measles in 26, croup in 15, small-pox in 6.
These numbers are all higher than those under the same
heads in the previous week. But diarrhoea has inva•
riably deCreased during the last twelve weeks, and though
the deaths from it rose considerably above 200 in sum-
mer, they were last week only 15. Two children died
in the week from small-pox in a tain,ly in Stapleton's-
bui!dings, Stamford-hill ; they were both unvaccinated,
in consequence, as is stated, of " ptejulic, against vac-
cination, and two other children have caught the infec-
tion. Two persoes died from intemperance ; one from
exposure to cold. A garden lab ,urer at Fulham died at
the age of 91 years ; the widow of a government clerk at
95 ; and the widow of an agricultural labourer died in
ObligaTior,-row, Upper Tooting, of bronchitis, at the Age
of 100 years. :Mr. Withal!, toe registrar, mentions that
.‘ this centenarian was born at Sevenoaks, in Kent, in
November, 1755 ; she enjoyed good health and the use
if her faculties till within the last five weeks."

Last week the births of 820 boys and 791 girls, in all
1,611 children, were registered in L'‘ndon. In the ten
corresponding w-eks of the years 1846.55 the average
number was 1,514.

At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 30.236 in. The
highest reading occurred on Friday, and was 30.48 in.
From the 15th ult, to the Bth of this month (the last date
included in the Greenwich table) the mean regeltim of the
barometer was on every day 30 in. or tn,,re The mean
temperature of the week was 43.4 deg., which is 2 0
leg. below the average of the same week in 38 years (as
determined by Mr. Glaisher). The mean temperature
on Sunday was 50 7 deg., which is 4.6 deg. above the
average ; on every subsequent day it was below the aye-
rwe, and on Thursday it was only 37.7 deg., which is
7.5 deg. below it. The lowest temperature on the last-
,nentioned day, and which was also the lowQgt in the
week, was 29 deg. The mean dew-pint temperature
39.8 deg., and the difference between this and the
nean air temperature was 3.6 deg. The mean tempe-
-Iture of the water of the Thames was 49 6 deg. The
wind blew generally from the north-ea 4, hut the move
ment of the air was mall. Rain fell to the amount
of .21 in. on Saturday, nearly all that fell in the
week.
