(h.o,n, the Report of the liegtstrar-General.)
The numi-er of deaths registered in Loudon in
the week that ended on Saturday, June 27, was
1,005. In the tea years 1847-56 the average num-
ber of deaths in the weeks corresponding with last
week was 1,090 ; but, as the deaths of last week
occurred in an increased population, the average
should be raised with a view to comparison propor-
tionally to the increase, in which case it will be-
come 1,199. The deaths now returned were there-
fore less by 194 than would have occurred if the
average rate of mortality towards the end of June
had prevailed.

The deaths produced by the zymotic or epidemic
class of diseases were last week 195 ; the corrected
average of correspor idi ng weeks is 264. The mortalii
y
of this class is considerably I,ss han usual; and on
reference to particular heads it will be seen that the
reduction is in typhus (including common fever),
searlatina, and small pox. Four cases of small-
pox and one of varicella. (chicken-pox) were
fatal in the week. Although the heat was exces-ive,
and the mean temperature of last week higher byB
deg. than that of the previous three weeks, tie
mortality from diarrhoea has not yet shown any
important increase, the weekly deaths from this
comklaint during June having been 26, 20, 35., and
33. Besides the 33 of last week, three deaths of
children were registered as caused by "English
eltol- and " cholera infant urn." Whooping-
cough, which carried off 46 children, and, in the
next place, measles, which carried off 36, are at
present the most fatal diseases of .he zymotic de-
scription. Three deaths from meas'ea are returned
from each of the following sub-districts ;—West
HaAney, St. Clement Danes, and Mile-end Old-
town Lower. Five children died of whooping-cough
in the sub-district of St. Leonard, Shoreditch.
Three persons are recorded as having died of in-
temperance, besides six cases in *which the cause
of death is stated to be delirium tremens.
A deaih which occurred in May, and on which
an inqu-st was held, was caused by star-
vation. The two oldest persons in the returns are,
women, aged respectively 91 and 95 years.
Last week the births of 867 boys and 805 girls,
in all 1,672 children, were registered in London.
In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1847'
56 the average number was 1,563.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 30.058 in.
Tue mean daily reading was above 30 in. on five
days ; the highest reading attained was 30 25 in.
on Thursday. The mean temperature of the week
was 67.3 deg., which is 6.9 deg. above the average
of the same week in 4 ; years (as determined hY
Mr. Glrshier). On four days the mean tempera-
ture was from 8 deg. to 10 deg. above the average.
The highest temperature in the shade occurred on
Sa urday, and was 88.5 deg. ; the highest in the
sun occurred on the same day, and was 116 deg.
The lowest temperature was 501 deg. on Thurs-
day, and the range of the week was 37.8
deg. Tue mean dew-point temperature was
58.2 deg., and the difference between this and the
mean temperature of the air was 91 deg. The mean
temperature of the water of the Thames was 65.8
deg. On Saturday the theremometer in the rivet
rose to 71.7 deg. The air was frequently calm.
