HEALTH OF LOIVL
WE

ON DU.RING

(From the Report of tie Regis Srar-General.)
The deaths in London in the reek that ended last
Saturday were 1,268, showing a slight decrease on
those of the previous week, and a more consider-
able decrease on those registered. in the earlier half
of April, when the weekly numbe r was above 1400.
The air continued as cold as it ha d been in the pre-
vious fortnight, the wind blowing ; from the north-
east.
In the ten years 1850-59 the a verage number of
deaths in the weeks correspondit ig with last week
was 1,075, but as the deaths of Last week occurred
in an increased population they s Should be compared
with the average raised in pro portion to the in-
crease, namely, with 1,183. Fro In this comparison
it appears that the deaths now : returned are more
numerous by 85 than they weed( I have been if the
average rate of mortality had pre 1 -ailed.
There were 20 deaths from sma'll -pox in the week.
The. weekly mortality from this d: isease has not in-
creased within the last month, rani I it is less than it
was during the first quarter of thi, s year. Measles,
however, exhibits an increase, the ) deaths from it
having been, in the four weeks of April, 20, 21, 33,
and 37. Three children belongin gto two families,
but in one house, 3, Railway-place t, Limehonse, died
on the 19th and 23d of April fron s measles. There
were 33 deaths from scarlatina a nd 9 from eiph-
theria. Two childrsn died from tI ie last-mentioned
disease at 6, Charles-street, Dawn ham-road, Isling-
ton. A boy died at's, Harvey's-be tilelings, CharCharing-
cross, of scarlatina maligna ; and hi; death is chiefly.
attributed by the medical attendan• t to impurity of
the air in the room occupied by th e family, owing
to its proximity to a nuisance.
Phthisis, or consumption, was el :ceedingly fatal ;
the deaths from this disease were; 198, while the
corrected average for correspondi ag weeks is 163.
A hundred persons in the pericp I of life 20-40
years were its victims last week . The increased
mortality of phthisis has been rem irked in previous
returns.
Of eight persons who died 1 )3f suffocation, six
were children, and one a young T nan, aged 17 years,
all suffocated in bed. A labou.rer's son, aged 11
months, was scalded, in conseqr,ence of his mother,
when in a fit, falling with him ; the daughter of a
porter, aged 2 years, was scalded by sucking hot
water from a kettle ; and the son of , t labourer, aged
15 months, was scalded by upsettin; g. a pan. Also
two children were burnt by means not stated. Of
six nonagenarians who died in the week, one was
a man, aged 91 years ; the rest wer e widows, aged
respectively 90, 94, 95, 97, and 98 y 'ears.
Last week the births of 914 boys. and 885 girls,
in all 1,799 children, were registQrei d in London.
In the 10 corresponding weeks of 'theyears 1850-59
the average number was 1,650.
At the Royal Observatory, Green rich, the mean
height of the barometer in the 'week was 29 855 in.
The mean daily reading was above 30 in. on the
last three days. The barometer falll to 29.55 in.
on Monday, the lowest point in the week, and rose
to 30.19 in.-,--the highest point— -on Saturday.
The mean temperature of the air in the week was
41.2 deg., which is 6.6 deg. below I the average of
the same week in 43 years (as date r mined by Mr.
Glaisher). The mean daily rearlin,g was always
below the average ; and on the first t hree days the
depression below the average was i rein 8 deg. to
11 deg. On Sunday the wind was in the north-
west, on Monday in the south-west, thereafter in
the north-east. The thermometer in the shade fell
to its lowest point on Sunday, namely, 28.5 deg. ;
it rose to its highest, 58.3 deg., on Saturday, the
range in the week was therefore 2;9.8 deg. The
mean daily range was 18.0 :leg. The difference
between the mean dew-point temperature and air
temperature was 5.5 deg., showing the dryness of
the air. The mean degree of humidity wets 83, com-
plete saturation being equal to 100. The mean tem-
perature of the water of the Thames was 46.9 deg.
