ItEALTIff OF LONDON DURING THE
- WEEK.

(Prom the Rep6rt of the Registrar-General.)
The nuinbbr of deaths registered in London in the
week that ended on Saturday was 1,284. In the 10 cor-:
responding weeks of the years 1846 55 the average num-
ber was 1,166, which, if -raised' by a tenth part for in
crease of population, becomes equal to the number
actually registered last week. •
Phtbisis (or consumption) carried off a greater number
of persono than any other disease ; it was fatal in 152
cases, bronchitis in 135, pneumonia in 112, typhus and
common fever in 61, hooping-cough in 43, scarlatina in
56, inea;alea in 23, diarrhoea 16, small-pox in 15. A
Chelsea pensioner died at the. age of 93 years, and the
widow of a shoemaker at the age of 96 years.
Last week the births of 943 boys and 925 girls, in all
1,868 children, were registered in London. In the 10
corresponding weeks of the years 1846 55, the average
number was 1,513.
At theßoyalObservatory, Greenwich, the mean height
of the barometer in the week was 2.776 in. The highest
reading was 30'14 in. on Sunday (Match 30). Tile mean
temperature of the week was 46.4 deg., which is 2.6 deg.
above the average of the same week in 38 years (as de-
terrained by Mr. Glaisher). The lowest temperature oc-
curred on Monday, and was 241 deg. ; the wind veered
towards the south, and the highest was 60 8 deg., and
occurred on the following day: The mean dew-point
temperature was 35'8 deg., and the difference between
this and the menu temperature of the air was 10.6 deg.
The temperature of the water of-the Thames rose to 49 5
deg. on Saturday, the lowest on that day was 46.5 deg.,
the mean of the week was 45 5 deg. The wind blew
• mostly him-4W- iiiiirtb--east .outrthe mouth-west. - The
. thin as measured was Only .09 in.
-TC-Ithit quarter which has just terminated, comprising
January, February, and March, the public health was
better than the population of London usually enjoy in
-that-period of the year. The teliqierature of the air wa••
generally high during the first nine weeks. The mean
temperature of the quarter was 40'1 deg.,_ and that of
the seventh week was 47 deg., or B'4 deg. above the
average. The total number of deaths in the three months
was 14,533, which is little more than t' at of the same
quarter in' 1852, 'when the population was not so great ' •
it.is also less than the numbers in 1853 and 1854, and
much less than the number in 1855, which rose to
19,62.7. - The mean temperature of the quarter that has
now passed was 6 deg. higher than that of the corre-
sponding quarter in 1855, and it is probable that to this
circumstance is chiefly due a d,ff Tence in the number
of the deaths to the extent of more than 5,000.
In comparing the rsults in the tables of fatal diseases
of winter quarters of 1855 and 1856, it is found that the
deaths from zyrnotic diseases were respectively 3,856
and 2,897 ; from tubercular diseases (mending phthisis)
2,946 and 2,307 ; from di,eaies of the re-Tiratory organs
4,850 and 2,883 ; and in like manner there is a decrease
for the present year under other heads, except those
which are comparatively unimportant in point of num-
ja.r.o.-- In all the principal diseases of the zysantio
class the firit quarter of this year shows a decided
decrease, except in typhus, the deaths from which
rose from 572 to 719. Typhus has ben rather pre-
valenP, especially in the east di%ision of London, where
the 'deaths from it in the last three months were 212.
Of the 14,533 per,ons woo died last quarter, 3,073
ends t their days in public institutions, beir,(, in the
proportion of more than one in five ; 1,817' died in
45 workhouses, 1,065 in hospitals for tie sick, 88 in
unatic asylums, 11 in prisons, the remainder in asy-
ums for soldiers, sailors, and foreigners.
