HEALTH OF LONDON DURING
WEEK.

(From the Report of the Registrar-General.)
The deaths registered in London in the week that
ended last Saturday were 1,389, being nearly the
same as the number returned in the previous week.
In the 10 years 1850-59 the average number of
deaths in the weeks corresponding with last week
was 1,205 ; but, as the deaths returned for last week
occurred in a population that has increased, they
should be compared with the average raised in pro-
portion to ttte increase—namely, with 1,326.
This
comparison shows that the number of persons who
died last week was greater by 63 than the number
that would have died if the average rate of morta-
lity for the beginning of February had prevailed.
The deaths from smallpox again rose last week ;
the number was 44, of which 15 occurred to per-
sons who were 13 years old and upwards. Four
were reported in the sub-district of the Borough-
road ; 3 in that of Lambeth Church, first part.
There were 39 deaths from scarlatina, and 4 from
diphtheria. Pulmonary diseases, exclusive of
phthisis and whooping-cough, were fatal in 389
cases, the corrected average forcorresponding weeks
being 293. The 389 deaths were chiefly the result
in various proportions of bronchitis, pneumonia, and
asthma, which were fatal respectively in 217, 136,
and 23 cases, the corrected averages of each being
159, 91, and 23. From these figures it appears
that this class of diseases is at present considerably
more fatal than usual. Nine children died from
syphilitic disease, 11 from want of breast-milk and
inanition, 16 having been born prematurely, 7 from
suffocation, apparently accidental, and 6 from
murder, manslaughter, or criminal neglect. The
deaths of eight nonagenarians are recorded, the two
oldest of whom died at the ages of 97 and 99 years.
Last week the births of 1,003 boys and 940 girls,
in all 1,943 children, were registered in London.
In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1850-9
the average number was 1,693.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 29.65 in.
The mean daily reading was below 29 in. on Monday
and above 30 in. on Friday and Saturday. The baro-
meter rose from 28.78 in. on Monday, the lowest
reading in the week, to 30.21 in. on Friday, the highest
reading. The mean temperature of the air in the
week was 36.3 deg., which is 1.1 deg. below the ave-
rage of the same week in 43 years (as determined by
Mr. Glaisher). The mean daily temperature was
below the average on the last five days. The ther-
mometer in the shade attained its highest point,
451 deg., on Monday, and reached its lowest, 25.5
deg., on Wednesday. Its range in the week was
therefore 20.2 deg. The man daily range was 10.7
deg. The difference between the mean dew-point
temperature and air temperature was 4.0 deg., re-
presenting the dryness of the air. The mean de-
gree of humidity of the air was 85, complete satu-
ration being represented by 100. The man tempel a-
ture of the water of the Thames in the last four
days was 37 deg. On the first two days of the
week the wind was in the south-west; it then blew
from the north on Saturday, when it again turned
to the south-west. The rain-fall in the week was
0.31 inch, the greater part of which was measured
on Monday. Snow fell on Thursday.
THE GREAT SHIP COMPANY.

(Continued from The Sun of yesterday.)
Mr. TAYLOR entered into a statement of tkel cause that
had led him to agree to the report, which was the import-
ance of unanimity. There were many things the committee
had learned that would be interesting to the meeting to
know with respect to a number of contracts entered into;
but he would not disturb the unanimity of the meeting.
The committee, in the course of their investigation, had
met nothing contrary to; the integrity of the directors.
The speaker then went on to allude to certain subjects the
committee had met with in the course of their investiga-
tion, when

A PROPRIETOR rose to order.
Mr. Jlcirsox said in the event of Mr. Taylor pursuing
the subject further, he should demand to have the whole
of the affairs fully discussed. He was of opinion that the
best conclusion the meeting could come to was to let
bygones be bygones, and to see what could be done to
secure the prosperity of the ship. The meeting ought
simply to adopt the report of the committee, with the re-
servation of the election of directors, upon which, as an
honest man, he should doom it his duty to say a few words.
Mr. TAYLOR, however, then proceeded to notice the
financial position of the company, and concluded by saying
that without the company made a strong pull altogether
they would lose the ship.
Mr. HOPI said he thought, before the meeting proceeded
to the election of directors, they ought to give the pro-
prietors residing in the country an opportunity of express-
ing their opinion upon the labours of the committee of
investigation. He did not see how any objection could be
made to a week's delay before such a proceeding was com-
menced.
Mr. J.kcicsox thought a meeting ought to be called
specially for zottidering the election of directors. He held
a great number of proxies to exercise on the election of
directors. He thought a fortnight ought to be the time
allowed for the purpose.
Mr. Ilona said he intended to bind himself by the report
of the committee, of which he had been one, namely, that
any alteration in the names of the gentlemen set down
there as directors would not !nclude his name.
A discussion then ensued relative to the time th should
elapse previous to the meeting for the election of dkectore.
Mr. WEBBER asked Mr. Magnus how he would use the
proxies he held ?

Mr. MACiliLs said all the proxies he held would be exer-
cised in favour of the report and the election of the gentle-
men mentioned therein as directors and notin his own
favour. (Loud cheers.)
The report was then agreed to unanimously.
The CHAIRMAN then moved a resolution deeply deplor-
ing the loss of Captain Harrison.
The resolution was unanimously carried.
After some discussion,
The CHAIRMAN said he thought it appeared to be the
feeling of the meeting that the election of directors should
be immediately proceeded with. He therefore moved that
the Marquis of Stafford, Captain C. E. Mangles, H. T.
Hope, Esq., Samuel Baker, Esq., Captain Carnegie, R.N.,
J. R. Croskey, Esq., Daniel Gooch, Esq., be elected
directors.
Mr. JACKSON seconded the motion.
Mr. MAGNUS said if the names of the gentlemen were
submitted in a body he would vote I'm- them, but he did not
think he could do so if they were put separately.
The CHAIRMAN then put the resolution, when it was
carried unanimously.
A resolution empowering the new directors to borrow
£50,000 on mortrige or debentures, preference shares or
otherwise, was then submitted and agreed to, shortly after
which the meeting broke up.
