BEALT.H OF LONDON DURING THE

WEEK.

The deaths registered in the week that ended on
Saturday were 1,209, which is nearly the same as the
number returned in the previous week. In the ten
years 1847-56 the average number of deaths in the weeks
corresponding with last week was 1,167 ; and if this is
raised for the purpose of comparison, proportionally to
increase of population, it will become 1,284. The rate
of rcioiCality that' now rules is not high, as Compared
with' that of previous seasons, although it has lately
shown that tendency to increase which is to be expected
at a period of the year usually the most fatal to.humin
life.,

The deaths caused by diseases of the respiratory organs
were last week 288,,being rather less than a fourth part
of the total number returned. The average rate of mor-
tality from this class of diseases at this season would
have produced nearly the same number. The number
referred to bronchitis in the present return is 166, which
exceeds the average, and is double the number referred
to pneumonia. Seventy-three of the deaths caused by
brorichitis occurred to persons who were 60 years old or
more, whilst 70 of the 84 from pneuinOnia, occurred to
children. Phtbisis, which is not included in the above
elms's, vftslatal t 0146 persons (beingai most the same as the
corrected average ; and of these 107 died in that period
of life which extends from 20 to 60 years. Roving-cough
is at present decidedly the most fatal disease included in
the lzymotic class ; 57 children died of it, whilst 29 died
of scarlatina, and 28 persons at various ages of typhtis
and: common fever. Two children of a dock labourer
die I of " lebris" at .4, Crown-court, Whitechanel., Ttlroe
children died of measles in the workhouse, St. George in-
the-East. A. mother, and her sou acted 4 years, died 4f
dysentery at Hammersmith. The death 7 of a seaman
who had been expelled from his ship when in a state of
illness was accelerated by exposure to cold; and that of
a young woman by want of food.
Of 60 persons who had attained the age of 80 years of
more, 7 were nonagenarians. The oldest was the widow
of a tailor, who died at 1, Boddy's-bridge, St. Saviour's,
at the very advanced age of 97 years.
Last week the births of 879 boys and 883 girls, in
all 1,762 ehddren, were registered in London. In the
ten corresponding weeks of the years 1847-56 the
average number was 1,572.

At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 29.602 in.
The highest reading occurred on Thursday, and was
21/7 in. The'mean temperature of the week was 31'2
deg.,_which is 7 deg. below that of the previous week,
and lower by Cideg. than the average of the same
week In 43 yeark(as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The
mean temperature was bellw the average on every day
of the week, and on Thursday, when it was 26'2 deg.,
anurunt of depression below the average was nearly 12
deg. The highest temperature in the week was 39
deg. (on Sunday the 25(b), and the 1 >west was 20
deg. (on Friday). Tne range of the week was coy-
sequently 19 deg. The lowest on grass on Friday
was 8 9 deg. The mean de s-point temperature was
2 1 deg., and the difference between this and the mean
to rperature of the air was 3.1 deg. The wind blew
g nerally.from the north-north-east till Thursday after-
nlon, when it began to blow from the south-west. The
anrount of rain (or melted snow) was 0.44 in., of which
0.25 in..fell on .Saturday. Snow or rain fell on every
day except Thursday and Friday.

CORN EXCHANGE.

A very moderate supply of English wheat was on sale
in to-day's market For most kinds there was a fair, but
by no means active, demand, at Monday's currency. Most
the samples came to hand in rather better condition.

Only 485 quarters of foreign whoat have arrived this
week, but the show of samples was extensive. Importers
were very firm in their demands, and late rates were well
supported.
The barley trade was dull, at Monday's quotations.-
The malt trade was heavy, at barely previous cur-
ren cir;s.

There was a full inquiry for oats, at full prices.
13e3ns, peas, and flour sold to a moderate extent, on

LIVERPOOL-FEB. 3.

Business in wheat and flour prOceeded slowly, owing
mainly to the extreme firmness and indifference of holders
of prime" and useful qualities of both, and where pur-
chases were made fall and rather better prices had to bo
subscribed to. Indian corn was the prominent and favou-
rite article, some extent of trausa,;stions having occurred
