THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 16, 1856,

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE

WEEK.

(From, the Report of the Registrar-Centre.)

Elev,en hundred deaths were registered in London in
the week that ended on Saturday. In the second week
of the last ten years (which corresponds to last week)
the average number wai 1,239. If for comparison with
the deaths in the present increased population this aver-
age is raised by a tenth part, it becomes 1,363. The
present state of the public health must be regarded,
therefore, as comparatively good; and if last week be
compared with the same week in 1354 and 1855, when
the deaths rose to nearly 1,500, the result becernes still
more satisfactory.
The return includes 542 deaths of males and 553 of
females, and gives a total number, which, as compared
with the number of births, is less by 463. Of the 1,100
persons who died, 224, or about a fifth part, perished
beim° they had completed the first year of their exist-
ence ; and 47 were old men and women, on whose heads
80 winters or more had gathered.
Fatal cases produced by diseases of the respiratory
organs have decreased in the last fortnight ; the num-
bers in the last three returns having been 348, 253, and
233. Bronchitis, the most fatal of the diseases which
constitute this class, numbered in the earns periods 204,
141, and 126. The return for pneumonia (or inflammation
in the lungs) is not heavy for this season. Phthisis was
fatal to 118 persons, the corrected average being 121.
Twenty-one deaths occurred from small-pox, 4 of which
took place in Woolwich. Mr. Rixoa, who registered
three from that disease in the Royal Ordnance Hospital,
mentions that it has been extremely prevalent there, but
is now abating ; that there were upwards of 30 cases
at one time in that establishment, and some of the
worst description. Two deaths from typhus, one from
" fever," and one from erysipelas occurred on the sth
and Bth January in St. Luke's workhouse. Measles
carried off 3 very young children in the Westminster
workhouse.
Last week the births of 798 boys and 765 girls, in all
1,563 children, were registered in London. In the ten
c irresponding weeks of the years 1846.55 the average
number was 1,486.

At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height
of the barometer in the week was 29.357 in. The baro-
meter rose from 28.85 in. on Monday to 30.40 lin. at the
end of the week. The mean temperature of the week
was 36.4 deg., which is 1.3 deg. above the average of
the same week in 38 years (as determined by Alr. Glai-
!her). The air was much colder than in the: two pre-
vious weeks. The mean temperature was below tat,
average on the last four days. The highest occurred on
Sunday and Monday, and was 47 deg.; the highest on
Friday was only 32.8 deg., while the lowest in the week
occurred on that day, and was 27.9 deg. The entire
range of the week wag, therefore, 19.1 deg. The mean
dew-point temperature was 34.4 deg., and the difference
between this and the mean air temperature was 2 deg.
The mean temperature of the water of the Thitmes was
41.9 deg. The temperature of the river varied from
44.1 deg. to 38.2 deg. The wind, which blew'from the
south or east at the beginning of the week, changed to
north-east on Tuesday, and continued almost constantly
in that direction. The amount of rain was 0.80 inches,
and of this amount 0.80 inches fell on Wednesday. Snow
fell on the morning of that day.

the Emperor of Japan.

(From the Gazette of last Evening.)

Signed at Nagasaki, in the English and Japanese lan
guagee, October 14, 1354.

[Ratifications exchanged at Nagasaki, Oct. 9, 18551
CONVENTION FOR REGULATING THE ADMISSION OF BRI•
TISH SHIPS INTO THE PORTS OF JAPAN.

It is agreed between Sir James Stirling, Knight,
Rear-Admiral and Commander-in-Chief of the ships and
vessels of her Britannic Majesty in the East Indies and
seas adjacent, and Mezi-no Chekfu-no Kami, Obunyo of
Nagasaki, and Nagai Evan Ocho, Omedeki of Nagasaki,
ordered by his Imperial Highness the Emperor of Japan
to act herein ; That,-
1. The ports of Nagasaki (Fisen) and Hakodadi
(Matsmai) shall be open to British ships for the pur-
poses of effecting repairs, and obtaining fresh water,
provisions, and other supplies of any sort they may ab-
solutely want for the use of the ships.
2. Nagasaki shall be open for the purposes afore-
said from and after the present date ; and Hakodadi
from and after the end of fifty days from the Admiral's
departure from this pert. The rules and regulations of
each of these ports are to be complied with.
3. Only ships in distress from weather, or unmanage-
able, will be permitted to enter other ports than those
specified in the foregoing Arbicles, without permission
from the Imperial Government.
4. British ships in Japanese ports shall conform to the
laws of Japan. If high officers or commanders of ships
shall break any such laws, it will lead to the ports being
dosed. Should inferior persons break them, they are to
be delivered over to the commanders of their ships for
punishment.
5. In the ports of Japan, either now open, or which
may hereafter be opened, to the ships or subjects of any
foreign nation, British ships and subjects shall be en-
titled to admission and to the enjoyment of an equality
of advantages with those of the most favoured nation,
always excepting the advantages accruing to the Dutch
and Chinese from their existing relations with Japan.
6. This Convention shall be ratified, and the ratifi-
cations shall be exchanged at Nagasaki on behalf of her
Majesty the Queen of Great Britain, and on behalf of
his Highness the Emperor of Japan, within twelve
months from the present date.
7. When this Convention shall be ratified, no high
officer coming to Japan shall alter it.
In witness whereof, we have sinned the ea'ne, and
have affixed our seals thereunto at Nagasaki, this four-
teenth day of October, 1854.
(LS.) JAMES STIRLING.
N.B.—The Japanese text was signed by the Japanese
Plenipotentiaries.

Exposition of the Articles of the Convention of Nagasaki
of the 14th of October, 1854, agreed to on the 18th of
October, 1855, by their Excellencies the Rear-Admiral
Commanding-in-Chief aud the Japanese Commissioners.
"1. The ports of Nagasaki (Fisen) and Hakodadi
(Matsmai) shall be open to British ships for the purposes
of effecting repairs, and obtaining fresh water, provi-
sions, and other supplies of any sort thef may absolutely
want for the use of the ships."
Exposition—The first Article of the Convention opens
the ports of Nagasaki and Hakodadi to British ships for
repairs and supplies. It opens the whole and every
part of those ports ; but ships must be guided in an-
choring, by the directions of the local Government. Safe
and convenient places will be assigned where ships may
be repaired. Workmen, materials, and supplies, will be
provided by the local Government according► to a tariff
to be agreed upon, by which also the modes of payment
will be
'regulated. All official communications will
hereafter, when Japanese shall have time to learn Eng-
lish, be made in that language. A British burial-ground
shall be set apart on Medsume Sima, fenced in by a
stone wall, and properly protected.
2. .g Nagasaki shall he open for the purposes afore-
said from and after the present date ; and Hakodadi
from and after the end of fifty days from the Admiral's
departure from this port. The rules and regulations of
each of these ports are to be complied with."
The second Article provides that at each of the ports
of Nagasaki and Hakodadi the Port Regulation shall be
obeyed ; but the Japanese Government will take care
that they shall not be of a nature to create embarrass-
ment, nor to contradict in any other way the general
tenour and intent of the Treaty, the main object of which
is to promote a friendly intercourse between Great Bri-
tain and Japan.
3. "Only ships in distress from weather, or unma-
nageable, will be permitted to enter other ports than
those specified in the foregoing articles, without permis-
sion from the Imperial Government."
Exposition.—The third article declares that only ships
in distress from weather, or unmanageable, shall enter
other ports than Nagasaki and Hakodadi without per-
mission from the Imperial Government ; but ships of war
have a general right to enter the ports of friendly Powers
in the unavoidable performance of public duties, which
right can be neither waived nor restricted ; but her Ma-
jesty's ships will not enter any other than open ports
without necessity, nor without offering proper explana-
tions to the Imperial authorities.
4. " British ships in Japanese ports shall conform to
the laws of Japan. If high officers or cemnoanders of
ships shall break any such laws, it will lead to the ports
being closed. Should inferior persons break them, they
are to be delivered over to the commanders of their
ships for punishment."
The fourth Article provides that British ships and
subjects in Japanese ports shall conform to the laws of
Japan ; and that if any subordinate British subjects
commit offences against the laws, they shall be handed
over to their own officers for punishment ; and teat it
high officers or commanders of ships shall break the
laws, it will lead to the closing of the ports specified.
All this is as it should be ; but it is not intended by this
Article that any acts of individuals, whether high or
low, previously unauthorised or subsequently disap-
proved of by her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain,
can set aside the Convention entered into with her
Majesty alone by his Imperial Highness the Emperor
of Japan.
"5. In the ports of Japan, either now open, or
which may hereafter be opened to the ships or subjects
of any foreign nation, British ships and subjects shall be
entitled to admission, and to the enjoyment of an
equality of advantages with those of the mo=t favoured
nation, always excepting the advantages accruing to the
Dutch and Chinese from their existing relations with
Japan."
The fifth Article secures in the fullest sense to British
ships and subjects in every port of Japan, either now
open or hereafter to be opened, an equality in point of
Advantage or accommodation with the ships and sub-
jects or citizens of any foreign nation, excepting any
peculiar privilege hitherto conceded to the Dutch and
Chinese in the port of Nagasaki. If, therefore, any
other nation or people he now or hereafter permitted to
enter other ports than Nagasaki and Hakodadi, or
to appoint Consuls, or to open tra le, or to enjoy
any advantage or privilege whatever, British ships and
subjects shall, ae of right, enter upon the enjoyment of
the same.
6. " This Convention shall be ratified, and the rati-
fications shall be exchanged at Nagasaki on behalf of her
Majesty the Queen of Great Britain, and on behalf of
his Highness the Emperor of Japan, within 12 months
from the present date."
7. " When this Convention shall be ratified, no high
officer coming to Japan shall alter it."
ARRANGEMENT REGARDING SHIPS.
An arrangement made subsequently to the Conven-
tion requires that British ships intending to visit Japan
shall be provided with a document in proof of their
nationality, and as a check upon the conduct of
♦essels in Japanese ports ; and her Majesty's Go-
vernment has directed a form of certificate of registra-
tion to be adopted*, which has been accepted as satisfac-
tory by the Japanese authorities ; and merchant ships
arriving in Japanese ports are to submit their certificate
of registration to the officers to be appointed by the Ja-
panese authorities, and to permit them to make such ex-
tracts from it as may seem good to them, before such
ships can be admitted to obtain repairs and supplies. Her
Majesty's ships of war will not be provided with such
documents ; but the officers in command, upon proper
application will afford all reasonable infsrmation re-
garding their ships.
