HEALTH OF LO VDO AT DURING THIs
YT'E K.

From t 1 Report of the Registrar• General.)

In the week that ended on Saturday the total number
of deaths registered in London was 1,213, of which 638
were deaths of males, and 575 those et tesnalee. In the
corresponding weeks of the ten years 1846-55 the aver.
ace number was 1,164. This number, if raised by a
'tenth part of comparison with last week's deaths, which
occurred in an increased. population, becomes 1,280.
The present rate of mortality is therefore less than the
average.
The mean temperature of the air fell below the aver-
age on Tuesday, the 4t'S instant., and hss cow inued
more or less
.below it every clay since that date, with
the exception et four days la-t week. That this un-
usual coldness has to some extent affected the public
health is shown by the deaths from diseases of the respi-
ratory organs, which were in the last three weeks suc-
cessively 191, 223, and 281. The increase of bronchitis,
which belongs to the class mentioned, appears from the
following numbers, returned in the same weeks :-86,
101, and 141 ; the increase of pneuirsbuia, the deaths
from which are more confined to children, is less marked,
the numbers biting 76, 92, and 9G. Phttlisis (or consump-
tion) was fatal in the same periods in 129, 148, and 144
cases. Hooping-cough, from which 54, 47, and 52 chil-
dren died, was subject to but slight fluctuation. Of 26
deaths from scarlatina, a half occurred i❑ the north dis-
tricts, principally Pancras, Islington, and Hackney ;
whilst from 58 from typhus and common fever, 18 occur-
red in the east districts, ch:efly in Whitechapel and Mile-
end. Four deaths from typhus and "fever" occurred in
the workhouse, St. Peter, Walworth, besides 2 from
hooping•cough ; and 4 occurred from the same disease in
' Chelsea, north-west sub-district, two of these in the
workhouse. Mr. Faulkner, of the south sub-district of
St. Gdes, registered 2 deaths from typhus in the work-
house, and he states that the deceased persons were not
regular inmates, but " when brought in were cuff iring
from the fever, which appears to have prevailed lately
in the parish. A few houses have each had several
cases, and the assistant-surgeon bas been attacked by
the disease." In North St. Giles, at 29i Crown-street,
a woman died of typhus ; Mr. Simpson, the registrar,
writes that four persons have been attacked by the fever
in that house, and three have died.
In last report a woman was stated to have died at
the age of 104 years. In the returns for last week an-
other remarkable example of longevity is recoscied. A
woman who had lived at 4, William-street, Dorset-
street, Clapham road, died o❑ the 17th inst. of " decay
of nature ; diarrhcea, (three days)," at the age (as stated)
of 103 years. She was the widow of a pardener. Mr.
Edwards, the registrar, mentions that her illness was
caused by hearing of the death of her st n, a man 61
years old, who died in Guy's Hospital, where he had
undergone an amputation. -She, was previously in
.go >d
health, and in possession of her faculties, and waisted,
in the last week-of her life, in the usual domestic duties.
The age of the old persons is, however, often exagge-
rated ; and such statements are not to be received w►th-
out doubt, unless they are confirmed by a' r« gister of
birth or baptism, or other setiela,ctory evidence. •
Last week the birth of 889 boys and 838 girls, in all
1,727 children, were registered in London. In the ten
Icorresponding weeks of the years 1816 55 the average
number was 1,565. _ . .

. ,
- At the Royal. Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height
of the barometer in the week was 29.823 in. The highest
reading was 30 in. at the li-ginning of the week. The
mean temperature was 42 8 deg., which is o'9 deg. above
the avetage. of the eame week in 38 years (as determined
by Glaisher). The 'highest reading was 52 deg., and oc-
curred on Wednesday; the lowest was 31.1 deg., awl oc-
curred on Sunday: The mean dew-poiet temperature Was
38'8 deg.; and the difference between this and the mean
temperature of the air was 4 deg. The mean temperature'
of the Thames Was 42.6 deg. The temperature of the
river raii;zed front 40'3, the lowest on Sunday and AO-
day, to 45.5 the highest on. Saturday. The wind
blew generally from the s,itith-east, on the first 3 days ;
from the north-east on the last 3. Rein fell to the autoun t
of 1.29 in., most-of which-fell on Monday aid Tuesday.

POTATO PLANTING.—The greatest activity is displayed
in this part of the corm; ry in potato planting. The con-
fidence of the hninbler clasies in their favourite esculent
has teen' folly restore and the quantity already pi.aated
far exceeds any former year.—Sligo Journal.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—It is with pleasure we notice the daily
in :rease of cures without medicine of indigestion (dyspepsia),
flatulency, constipation, nervous, bilious, and liver corn-
plaints, cough, asthma, consumption, and debility, by Du
Barry's delicious Revalenta Arabica. We quote the follow-
ing : —Southwick Park, Fareham, Hants, Oct. 31, 1548.
Gentlemen, I sincerely thank you for your kind attention.
When I began taking the Revalenta 1 was in as deplorable a
condition as can well be imagined. I was confined Only bed,
and so weak that I could neither stand nor walk, suffering
severely from flatulency, constipation, and indigestion, and
being compelled to have recourse to aperients every s coed or
third day; and, upon one occasion, I swallowed uo less than
seven doses within twenty-eight hours, under medical Avice.
There wat a giddiness in my head, and a singing in my right
ear, that *hen I turned my head on the pillow it resembled
the sound produced by a light touch on a musical glass. I
had a pain and rort of fullness across the chest, a sore throat,
and a slight cough ; but the pain around my loins was so
great that I could not remain in the same position for ten
usinutes all night long. The principal seat of the pain seemed
to be just below the ribs on my left side, and about t;iree
inches from the backbone. I commenced taking Du Barry's
Revalenta Arabica mon ing, and evening, boiled in water and
salt ; aid in less than a fortnight my appetite was greatly
i-uproved, and flatulency and constipation so far vanished
that I have not tasted a pill or drug of any kind
tiuce. I am much stronger, can walk steadier, aad
less like a drunken man, &c.—Jeinv VASS, Land-steward.-
