HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THB
WEEK.

From the Report of the Registrar•aenoral.)

The returns of the. London registrars continue to show
a very satisfactory state of the public health. Ia
the week that ended en Saturday the deaths of 1,062
persons—viz., 541 males and 521 females, were registered.
In the corresponding weeks of the yeara 1846.55 the
average number was 1,200, which, if raised in propor-
tion to increase of population, becomes 1,820. Kenos
the deaths returned last week were less by 258 than
would have occurred in the present population under
the average rate of mortality at this period of the year.
The 6 epidemic diseases which contribute more to the
total mortality than others in the same class, with the
exception of cholera at particular seasons, were fatal list
week in the following order—typhus caused 57 deaths,
hooping-cough 40, scarlatina 28, measles 17, diarrhoea
11, and small-pox 10. Eight deaths from typhus were
returned from Islington West, the sub-district in which
the Fever Hospital is situated. Heaton and Hagger-
stone sent to suff-r from it
.to sonic extent. Mr. Up-
john, the registrar of Pentenville, states that beeping-
cough has lately been very prevalent in his district ;
but in the London districts generally less fatal last week
than is usual in the month of February. Twelve chil-
dren died of croup, 1 of put pura, 1 of intermittent fever,
2of infantile remittent fever. Oue person died of in-
fluenza, and 1 of rheumatic fever. •

mew's Huspitsl of "elephantiasis of the left thigh and

Hsr Majesty's paddlewheel sloop Scourge, which left
Sierra Leone on the 3d inst., arrived in Plymouth Sound
yesterday afternoon. The only ship of war in port when
she left, was the Salamander, Commander George T.
Meehan, to which the pennant of Commodore Adawsand
the crew of the Scourge have been transferred. The Chil-
ders, 12, Commander Hickley, had left for the Bights.
The sloop Phiimpel, 8, Commander Skene, was on the
North Coast of Gambia. The brig Linnet, 8, Commander
H. Need, and the screw steam.sloop Plumper, 9, Com-
mander W. 11. Haswell, were on the South Coast. The
paddle-wheel steam-sloop Alecto, 5, Commander Robert
Phillips, was conveying the newly-appointed Consul
down the Cape Coast. The paddle-wheel steam-vessel

The Royal Mail Company's paddle-wheel steam-ship
Orinoco, transport No. 218, was, in accordance with or-
ders previously received from the Admiralty, ready for
the reception of troops and horses at Southampton yes-
terday. The Great Western, steam-transport, No. 6,
will be ready for the conveyance of troops, &c., on the
2d of March. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's
screw steamship Candia, transport No. 213, is awaiting
the arrival of horses and troops. This, vessel, which is
now lying in the Southampton docks, was to receive on
eseltenkaratirp-ert to=day, 2.l7llerups and seo ha: ses,
besines offieers ; but up to ast evening no- information
had been received that they would positively arrive.
Tne Orinoco, which was to embark horses, &c., yester-
day, has no% yet received the Government stores, and
the Candia is in a like position. The crew for both
!nips have had their victualling placed on board by their
respective companiee. Owing to the non-arrival of the
hay, &c.; for the horses and troops (the Government
undertaking to provide the necessary stores), there is
little probability that the troops will embark at South-
ampton to-day, as originally intended.
The General Screw Company have received orders to
prepare their four large ships. viz.—the Argo, No. 81 ;
the Calcutta, No. 195, the Queen of the South, No.
135 ; and the Hydaspes, No. S 7, for the reception of
horses and troops. These ships are to be fitted to con-
vey the following :—Calcutta, 26 officers, 140 men, and
160 horses ; Argo, 28 officers, 150 men, and 190 horses ;
and the Hydaspes and Queen of the South will each con-
vey 28 officers, 120 men, and 200 horses. ' Each vessel
will also have placed on board 10 tons of heavy and 200
tons of light stores. All four of these large ships will
be ready at Southampton for the reception of their freight
on the 3d of Marcb, but the company have only received
information that the Argo and Hydaspes will receive
full pay from that date. I East Distrus....
