REALM- OF LON DOR DURING THE
TVA BK.

(From the Registrar-G'e neral's Weekly Return.)
The total deaths in L o ndon in the week ending
last Saturday were 999 ' in the previous week the
number was 1,047. If the deaths from epidemic
cholera in the thirty-se mud week of 1854 are ex-
cluded from the retu rx is of previous years, it is
found that the average number of deaths in the
weeks corresponding v7l;.th last week of the years
1850-59 becomes, after correction for increase of
population, 1,227. Coln pared with this result the
deaths in ast week we ri i less by 228.
Ten deaths were ret u. rned from small-pox last
week ; 2 of these occurre d in the village of Lewis-
ham sub-district, and 1. in Plumstead. Diarrhoea
continues to increase; the deaths from it in the
last four weeks were su(;cessively 32, 52, 65, and
90. The mortality from diarrhoea is, however, still
very low as compared vr;ith that of previous years,
for the corrected averagt: of 10 corresponding weeks
is 202. Five deaths occurred from this complaint
last week in Islington 1V Test sub-district and 6 in
Poplar. There were 3'9 deaths from measles, 37
from scarlatina, and 5 from diphtheria. Seven in-
fants were suffocated in bed, 1 of these in a turn-
up bedstead.
Last week the births of 857 boys and 799 girls,
in all 1,656 children, were registered in London.
In the ten corresponding weeks of 1850-59 the
average number was 1,550.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 29.534 in.
The barometrical readings fell to 29.22 in. on Mon-
day, and rose to 29.77 in. on the following day.
The mean temperature of the air in the week was,
56.3 deg., which is 5.6 deg. below the average a
the same week in 43 years (as determined -by Mr.
Glaisher). The mean daily temperature was mug-
derably below the average throughout the week.
The thermometer in the shade fell to its lowest
point, 45.5 deg., on Tuesday ; it rose to its highest
69.6 deg., on Saturday. The extreme range in the
week was therefore 24.1 deg. The mean daily
range was 17.5 deg. The difference between the
mean dew-point temperature and air temperature
was 6.3 deg. The mean degree of huthidity of the air
was 81, complete saturation being equal to 100 A..
On Tuesday the humidity was 71, and on the fo).
lowing day 99. The mean temperature of ths)
water of the Thames was 61.4 deg. The wind
blew more or less on every day from the soutia-
west. Rain fell to the amount of 1.01 in., nearly

der storm on Saturday morning, more violent in the
western parts of London than it was in Greenwich.

the 6th inst.
