THE PUBLIC HEALTH.

(From the Registrar-General's Weekly Return.)
In the week that ended on Saturday, July 21, the
births 'registered in London and 12 other large towns
of the United Kingdom were 4,132 ; the deaths re-
gistered, 3,433. The annual rate of mortality was
29 per 1,000 persons living.
In London the births of 1,008 boys and 1,015
girls, in all 2,023 children, were registered in the
CC!:. In the c3rresponding weeks of ten years,
1856-65, the average number, corrected for increase
of population, was 1,909.
The deaths registered in London during the week
were 1,798. It was the 29th week of the year; and
the average number of deaths for that week was,
with a correction for increase of population, 1,370.
The deaths in the present return exceed by 428 the
estimated number.

While epidemic cholera has been for months pre-
valent in several cities on the Continent, and in some
cities, such as Amiens, has been extraordinarily fatal,
London has hitherto remained free from its ravages.
At the end of June the temperature was exces-
sively high, and after that cholera cases were no-
ticed ; their character was not at first grave, but in
the first week of July 14 cases, in the second 32
cases, of cholera were registered, half of them at
least of the epidemic type. In the week that ended
on Saturday last 346 deaths from cholera were re-
corded. This fatal explosion occurred chiefly in
the comparatively poor districts of the east of Lon-
don. The mortality by the epidemic is much greater
than it was in the corresponding week of 1854, but
not so great as it was in the epidemic of 1849.
Of the 346 fatal cases now recorded, 308 occurred
in the east districts of the metropolis. In the sub-
district of Bow the total number of deaths was 77 ;
of these 39 were referred to cholera. In the sub-
district of Poplar 93 deaths were registered, and the
deaths from cholera were 52. In the sub-district of
Limehouse the deaths were 54 ; of these 43 were
from oholciu. In Green sub-district, Bethnal-green,
59 deaths occurred ; 30 of these from cholera. In
the sub-district of Mile-end Old-town Eastern, 57
deaths were recorded ; 33 from cholera. Eleven
deaths from cholera were registered in the west dis-
tricts, 6in the north, and 20 in the south. Only
one death from the epidemic occurred in central dis-
tricts. Former experience should now be turned to
account, and the authorities should be as prompt in
defence as the cholera is in attack.
The annual rate of mortality last week was 31
per 1,000 in London ; 20 in Edinburgh, and 17 in
Dublin ; 22 in Bristol, 16 in Birmingham, 43 in
Liverpool, 31 in Manchester, 30 in Salford, 27 in
Sheffield, 33 in Leeds, 21 in Hull, 27 in Newcastle-
upon-Tyne,
and 30 in Glasgow. The rate in
Vienna was 29 per 1,000 during the week ending
the 7th inst., when the temperature was 10.1 deg.
Fahrenheit higher than in the same week in Lon-
don, where the rate was 22 per 1,000.

the week was 29.894 in.

The barometrical reading decreased from 30.01 in.
on Sunday to 29.74 in. on Thursday. The mean
temperature of the air in the week was 62.2 deg.,
which is 0.2 deg. above the average of the same
week in 50 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher).
The highest day temperature was 83.3 deg., on Sun-
day. The lowest night temperature was 47.2 deg.,
on Wednesday and Saturday. The entire range of
temperature in the week was therefore 361 deg.
The mean of the highest temperature of the water
of the Thames was 681 deg. ; that of the lowest
67 deg. The difference between the mean dew-point
temperature and air temperature was 81 deg. The
mean degree of humidity of the air was 75, com-
plete saturation being represented by

fell in any of the 13 towns.
