HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK
(From the Registrar-General's Return.)
The aggravated rate of mortality in London, which
marked the first two weeks of the current month, has
prevailed without abatement in the period embraced by
the present return. The deaths, which increased to 1,247
in the beginning of March, and subsequently rose to
1,401, amounted in the week ending last Saturday to
1,412. Taking for comparison the 10 corresponding
weeks of 1841-50, it appears that the highest number
was 1,197, and occurred in 1845 (in a week when the
mean temperature had fallen about 10 degrees lower
than usual), and that the average mortaility was 997.
This average, if corrected according to the supposed
rate of increase in the population, amounts to 1,088;
and the increase above it exhibited in last week's return
is 324.
The sickness which now prevails is common, as al-
ready shown, to all periods of life; but it deserves
notice, that whereas the total mortality returned in
either of the last two weeks is nearly the same, the
deaths of young persons under 15 years shows a decrease
from 593 (in the week ending March 15) to 566 last
week, while those which occurred in the middle period
of life rose from 442 to 456, and those in the still more
advanced stage (or above 60 years) rose from 365 to 390.
In the last week the deaths attributed to influenza—
simply, or in conjunction with bronchitis, inflammation
of the lungs, disease of the heart, or other malady—are
65; in the previous week they were 39, while the ave-
rage of corresponding weeks does not exceed 8. The
