HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE

WEEK.

(Prom the .Report of the Registrar• General.)
In the week that ended on Saturday the total number
of deaths registered in London was 1118. In the cot.-
responding weeks of the ten years 1846-55 the average
number was 1,067, which if raised in proportion to in-
crease of population, for comparison with the destbs of
last week, will become 1,174. The number now re-
turned is less than the estimated amount by 56.
The present return exhibits an increase on that of the
previous a eek, when the number of deaths were less • than a thousand, in consequence of cases, on which
quests were held, being entered in the registers in con-
siderably more than the due weekly proportion, whioh
usually happens at the end of a quarter. The number
of deaths referred to the zymotic class of diseases is not
affected by this circumstance, and that was, last week,
228 ; the average for ten weeks, corrected for popula-
tion, being 255.

Typhus, though it does not increase, continues to be
more fatal than any other disease in this class.
Last week the births of 834 boys and 853 girls, in all
1,737 children, were registered in London. In the teu
corresponding weeks of the years 1846 55 the average
number was 1,529.

MARKET tIEWS.—(This Day.

CORN ENO ITANGE.
Although the supply of English wheat in to-day's mar.
ket was very moderate, the demand for all kinds was ex-
trmely- inactive, and last week's prices were with diffi-
culty supported.
Foreign wheat—the show of which was small—moved
off heavily, and late rates were almost nominal:
There was less doing in floating cargoes for France and
Belgium.

The blrley trade was dull, on former terms. In malt
so little was doing that the quotations were almost nominal.
We had a very dull sale for oats, and inferior kinds
were 63 per qr. cheaper.
Beans, peas, and flour were heavy.
