HEALTH OF LONDON _DURING THE WEEK.

(From the Registrar-General's Weekly Return.)
In winter the mortality, chiefly of the old, is
increased by cold ; at this season it is raised, chiefly
amongst the young, by heat. In the week that ended
last Saturday the deaths in London, which in the
two previous weeks of this month had been succes-
sively 1,043 and 1,106, rose to 1,171. The average
number of deaths derived from returns of corre-
sponding weeks in the ten years 1851-60, and cor-
rected for increase of population, is 1,168. There-
fore the actual amount agrees almost exactly with
the estimated number; and the heat of the summer
months has not yet produced any result worse than
that which it usually brings.
they rose to
134, the corrected average for
last week being 138.
Of the 134 cases, 106 occurred infants
to children one year old, but
