HEALTH OF LONDON .DURING THE WEEK;

(From the Itepstrar-General' Weekly Return.)
The increase in the mortality noticed in pre-
vious returns was maintained last week. The
deaths,,in London, which were 1,043 in the first
week of July, rose to 1,207 in the week that ended,
last Saturday. The average number as obtained
from the returns of the week corresponding with
last week in the ten years 1851-60, and corrected
for increase of population, is 1,214; hence, it er
pears that though the mortality rose last week, a°
it has generally done at this season, it did not ex-
ceed its estimated limit.
The deaths by diarrhcea, which were 87 and 134
in the two preceding weeks, rose to 200, the cor-
rected average being 158. Of these 200 no less
than 152 occurred to infants who had completed
the first year of life •, 19 to persons of 20 years of
age and upwards. Besides the cases referred to in
the tables to diarrhcea, 20 deaths were returned as
caused by cholera or choleraic diarrhcea • and of
these, all except 8 occurred to children. It may be
added that Marylebone, which contains a popula-
tion of nearly 162,000, returned 16 deaths from
diarrhcea in the week, and that Lambeth, which-
contains about the same number of inhabitants, re-
turned 10 from that complaint. This latter district
is composed partly of Kennington second parts
Brixton and Norwood ; and in none of these sub-
districts were any deaths from diarrhcea, or indeed
any of the more fatal complaints of the epidemic'
character, registered in the last two weeks. Sig'
teen from diarrhcea occurred last week in Panora/Yr
which has a population of nearly 199,000 ; they
were chiefly in Tottenham-court sub-district and
Somers-town. Diarrhoea was fatal in 7 cases in
Islington West sub-district, in 5 in St. James,
Clerkenwell, 5 in the City-road sub-district, 5 itt
West London North, 5 in Limehouse, 5 in St.
Savour, Southwark, and 5 in Kennington first part.
A man died at the age of 95 years, and two
widows at the same age ; also a widow at 94. These.
four persons are the oldest of those whose deaths
are recorded in the week.
The bad sanitary condition of the premise& in
