REALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK.

(From the Regzstrar-General's Weekly Return.)

The Registrar-General's return states the total
number of deaths registered in London in the week
that ended last Saturday was 1,108, which, as com-
pared with the returns of four previous weeks, ex-
hibits but very slight variation. The average
number of deaths in corresponding weeks of ten
previous years 1851-60, corrected for increase of
population, is 1,329, and if the deaths from epidemic
cholera in the corresponding week of 1854 are ex-
cluded from the returns on which the calculation is
based, it will still appear that the rate of mortality
that now prevails is comparatively lo w.
The births in last week exceeded the deaths in
the same time by 740.
The deaths from diarrhoea, which in one week in
August exceeded 200, and in each of ten weeks
since the middle of July exceeded 100, declined last
week to 68. Four deaths are also referred to cholera
or choleraic diarrhoea. A girl, aged 9 years, died
at 5, Bean-street, Borough-road, of " cholera."
But while diarrhoea is diminished, there is a percep-
tible increase in scarlatina., the deaths from which
rose to 55 in the week. Of these 55, 7 occurred in
Islington, 3 in the sub-district of St. George-the-
Martyr, Holborn, and 6in Deptford. At 55, Eagle-
street, Holborn, a woman died after childbearing, a
case in which, according to the verdict of a coroner's
jury, " the midwife was culpable." It appears
that four members of the same family (a labourer's)
have died within six days, three of whom were
children, and died from scarlatina. The registrar
of St. George-the-Martyr, who recorded these 4
deaths, adds that scarlatina is very prevalent in
his district, and that in one family 8 per-
sons are suffering from it. Three children have
died from the same disease in a family at 110, New-
street, Deptford, in which two otheis have been
attacked by it.
Six nonagenarians died in the week, the oldest of
whom was a widow 98 years of age ; she died at
Fulham.

Last week the births of 925 boys and 923 girls,
in all 1,848 children, were registered in London.
In the 10 corresponding weeks of the years 1851-60
the average number was 1,659.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 29.459 in.
The readings fell to 29.15 in. on Wednesday, and
rose to 29 M in. on Friday. The mean temperature
of the air in the week was 53 8 deg., which is 1.1
deg. below the average of the same week in 43 years
(as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The highest day
temperature was 66.2 deg. on Friday ; the lowest
night temperature was 37.7 deg. on the same day.
The range of the thermometer on that day, and also
in the Week, was therefore 28.5 deg. The diffe-
rence between the mean dew-point temperature and
air temperature was 4.9 deg. The mean degree of
humidity of the air was 85, complete saturation
being represented by 100. The prevailing direction
of the wind was south-west ; on Thursday the direc-
tion was chiefly north-west. The rain•fall was 0.92
in., almost all of which was measured on the first
four days.

THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

The fresh arrivals of English wheat to this morning's
market were much restricted ; nevertheless the demand,
both for red and whito qualities, ruled very inactive at
Monday's decline in the quotations.

All kinds of foreign wheat were in slow request, and in
some instances the currencies were drooping. -
Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly, yet no change
took place in their value.

The trade for barley was dull, and prices had a down-
ward tendency.
In malt sales progressed slowly at late rates.
A fair amount of firmness was observed in the oat trade,
prices being in most instances supported.
Beans and peas—the supply of which was very moderate
—changed hands slowly at previous quotations.
The flour trade was dull, and the currencies were rather
lower.

REMARKABLE PRODUCE OF HONEY. Mrs.
Parker, of Station-street, Lewes, who has kept bees for
years, and during 1860 was very uafortunate (out of three
hives only saving 61b. of honey and three sets of bees), has
now had the wonderful produce of 761bs. of honey from
one hive. This is the more remarkable, as bees generally
have been so very unproductive this year. They were fed
all the winter upon sugar and honey.

HARVEST IN HUNGARY.—The corn harvest has
been most abundant this year in Hungary, and enormous
quantities are in consequence being sent off by railway to
the countries of Western Europe. The advantages which
Hungary will derive from these exports are exceedingly
great. According to a statistical return, drawn up by the
Minister of Agriculture, the value of corn exported from
Hungary since the beginning of the month of August is
Dearly 18,000,000 f., being only about a third of what can
be sold. The abundant harvest has been important in a
political point of view ; it has had the effect of making the
rural population better disposed to pay the taxes to the
Austrian Government.
