HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE •

WEEK.

(From tire Report of the Registrar-Oeneral. )
In the week that ended on Saturday the total number
of deaths registered in London was 1,118. In the cor-
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 deaths of
!ast 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 week, when the number of deaths were less
than a thousand, in consequence of cases, on which in-
quests were held, being entered in the registers in con-
siderably more than the due weekly proportion, which
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 tLa❑ any other disease in this &ass.
Last week the births of 884 boys a❑d 853 girls, in all
1,737 children, were registered in London. In the tea
corresponding weeks of the years 1846 55 the average
number was 1,529.

MARKET NEWS.--(his Day.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Although the supply of English wheat in to•day's mar-
ket was very moderate, the demand for all kinds was ex-
tremely 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 barley 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 Gd per qr. cheaper.
Beans, peas, and flour were heavy.

LIVERPOOL-JULY 1.

At the Exchange this morning we had a fair attendance
of millers and dealers, but their transactions were circum•
scribed. Wheat declined about 2d to 3d per bushel, and
flour Pd to is per sack and barrel. Indian corn gave way
Is to is Gd per qr., but it had a good attention for holding
over. Oats commanded full prices. Oatmeal keeps up
quotations. Barley, beans, and peas were unchanged in
value.
