The deaths of seven persons who were killed by
horses or carriages in the streets were registered.
The annual rate of mortality last week was 24 per
1,000 in London, 22 in Edinburgh, and 21 in Dub-
lin ; 17 in Bristol, 24 in Birmingham, 27 in
Liverpool, 26 in Manchester, 28 in Salford, 24 in
Sheffield, 29 in Leeds, 23 in Hull, 28 in Newcastle-
upon-Tyne, and 25 in Glasgow. The rate in
Vienna was 23 per 1,000 during the week ending
the 10th inst., when the mean temperature was 5.2
deg. Fahrenheit higher than in the same week in
London, where the rate was 22.

The fatality of summer diarrhoea usually reaches
its maximum about the end' of July. London,
Liverpool, Manchester, and Birmingham are the
only large English towns in which the mortality has,
during the past few weeks, been raised to any con-
siderable extent by deaths from this disease. In
Manchester the greatest mortality occurred at the
end of July, b'it has since declined ; in London,
Liverpool, and Birmingham it is, however, still
high, and the 200, 47, and 42 deaths from diarrhoea
respectively returned last weak in these towns give
annual rates in the proportion of 3.1 in London, 5
in Liverpool, and 6.4 in Birmingham, to 1,000 per-
sons living. This fatality from diarrhoea in Bir-
mingham is the more remarkable from the compa-
rative immunity from cholera and diarrhoea, which
that town has usually enjoyed.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 29.789 in.
The barometrical reading decreased from 30.02 in.
on Sunday, Aug. 11, to 29.50 on Thursday, Aug.
15. The mean temperature of the air in the week
was 66.1 deg., which is 4.5 deg. above the average
of the same week in 50 years (as determined by
Mr. Glaisher.) The highest day temperature was
89 deg. on Wednesday, Aug. 14. The lowest night
temperature was 50.2 deg., on Sunday, Aug. 11.
The entire range of temperature in the week
was, therefore, 38.8 deg. The highest read-
ing of the thermometer in the sun was 147.1
deg. on Tuesday, August 13. The mean of the
highest temperatures of the water of the Thames
was 61.5 deg. ; that of the lowest was 62.6 deg.
The highest temperature of the water of the Thames
was 66, on Wednesday, the 14th of August.
The difference between the mean-dew point tem-
perature and air temperature was 8.4 deg. The
mean degree of humidity of the air was 75,
complete saturation being represented by 100.
The air was very dry in the early part of the week,
but on Thursday, the 15th of August, the degree of
humidity was 95. Rain fell to the amount of
0.77 in., of which 0.76 in. fell ou Thursday, the 15th
of August ; during the early morning hours of this
day the rain was accompanied by thunder and light-
ning. The general direction of the wind was S.W.
London, according to the returns of the eight
companies, was supplied daily with 108,000,000
gallons, or 491,998 cubic metres of water, equal to
about as many tons by weight ; the supply is equal
to 35 gallons per head on the population.
A considerable quantity of this water, however,
was used for other than domestic purposes.
