HEALTH OF LONDUIV D u THE WEEK.

(From the Registrar-General's Report.)
Nine hundred and fifty-three deaths were regis-
tered in London in the week ending last Saturday.
The average of ten corresponding weeks in 1841.50
was 922 ; but as population increased during the ten
years and up to the present time, the average, to be
rendered comparable with last week's mortality, must
be raised in proportion to the increase. The average
thus corrected may be stated as 1,014, on which the
deaths of last week show a decrease of 61.

The zymotic or epidemic class of diseases produced
242 deaths, or more than a fourth of the total amount,
while the corrected average is 278. The number of
fatal cases ascribed to small-pox is 18, all of which
occurred to children, and in none is it stated that the
patients had been previously vaccinated. The n
of vaccination is repeatedly noticed by the egt
registrars,lea
and their observations on this subject deserve atten-
tion. In North St. Giles, at 21, Lumber -court, the
daughter of a butcher, aged 3 years, died .
of mall-pox
after nine days' illness. Mr. Simpson

been performed, the general adoption of which is
loudly called for in poor and

degree of susceptibility."
