HEALTH OF LONDON LURING THE

WEEK.

(From the Registrar-General's Weekly Return.)

In the week ending Saturday, Oct. 13, the deaths
registered in London were 1,008. In the 10 years
1850-59 the average number of deaths in the weeks
corresponding with last week was 1,018, but as the
present return is for a population which has annu-
ally increased, the average with a view to compari-
son should be raised in proportion, a correction
which will make it 1,120. Hence it appears that
the deaths in the present return are less by 112
than they would have been if the average rate of
mortality had prevailed. Ihe mortality from small-
pox continues low, the deaths from this disease re-
corded in the last week being only 3. 42 deaths
occurred from diarrhoea, 41 from scarlatina, 39
from measles, and 10 from diphtheria. Two widows
died, one at the age of 90 years, the other aged 94
years. The death of a boy, aged one year, is re-
ferred to " cholera Angliea ;" and a boy, aged
9 months, died from choleraic diarrhoea. A man,
aged 50 years, died of tetanus at the Strand Union
Workhouse ; and the death of a widow, aged 43
years, is reported to have been accelerated by want
of the necessaries of life. • The violent deaths re-
corded were 31. _ _ _

Last week the births of 876 boys and 813 girls, in
all 1,689 children, were registered in London. In
the ten corresponding weeks of the year 1850-59
the average number was 1,578.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 29.750 in.
The highest barometrical reading was 30.062
inches on Sunday, the lowest 29.396 inches on
Saturday. The mean temperature of the
air in the week was 45.8 deg., which is 5.8 deg. be-
low the average of the same week in 43 years (as
determined by Mr. Glaisher). The highest point
attained in the week by the thermometer in the
shade was 60.0 on Sunday, the lowest was 32.4 deg.
on Friday. The entire range of temperature in
the week was therefore 27.6 deg. The mean daily
range was 13.3 deg. The mean temperature of the
water of the Thames was 52.3 deg. The difference
between the mean dew-point temperature and air
temperature was 4.0 deg. The mean degree of
humidity of the air was 85, complete saturation
being represented by 100. Rain fell on three days
he week.

THIS DAY'S MAREBTS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Our market to-day has been but moderately supplied
with English wheat, chiefly in very poor condition. Good
dry qualities have sold steadily at quite Monday's quota-
tions, but for other qualities the inquiry has been much re-
stricted at irregular currencies.
The show of foreign wheat has been very extensive. For
most kinds there has been a steady inquiry at fully last
week's prices. Floating cargoes have commanded rather
more attention.
We have to report a good consumptive inquiry for bar-
ley at extreme rates. The show of samples was small.
Good and fine malt commanded extreme rates, and other
kinds were steady in price.
There was a good demand for both home and foreign..
grown oats at extreme rates.
Both beans and peas, from their scarcity, were held for
more money.
The transactions in flour were to a moderate extent, on
former terms.

Bisll°P CcEUR'S DEATH.--The death of Mgr.
Coeur, Bishop of Troyes, was caused by an attack of pare-
-I„.s. The venerable prelate had gone to Charpont to spend
fewl days with M. de Truchy. On the day of his death he
bad gone to his own apartment before dinner, having asked
Mme. de Truchy for a certain book which he wished to look
at. On her return with it, she found the bishbp lying on
the ground, with his head supported on a chair, his mouth
drawn on one side, and his voice almost gone. Medical
aid wag sent for, but it was of no avail. The bishop was
able, though with difficulty, to confess, and, after receiv
jog extreme unction, became speechless, and in a few hours
after expired.
