BEALTII-,OF LONDON DURING THE

WEEK.

(From, the Report of the Registrar-General. )
The returns for the week that ended on Satur-
day, June 6th, exhibit the gratifying fact that the
remarkably small number of 868 deaths was regis-
tered in that period in London. There has been a
constant decrease of mortality since the temperature
rose ; and in the first week of June the deaths are
about 200 less they were in the first week of Mae.
In the ten years 1847-56 the average number ef
deaths in the weeks corresponding with last week
was 979. But as the deaths of last week occurred
in an increased population, the average, with a
view to comparison, must be raised in proportien
to the increase an' in this case it will bexnue
1,077. r- iat the deaths now returned
ere less by 209 than the average rate of reortenry
at this period of the year would have produced. la
the first week of June, 1847, the deaths were 786,
in that of 1850 they were 844 ; and these furnish
the only instances in corresponding weeks in which
the deaths were not mote numerous than those of
last week, though each successive year has added
to the number of persons living within the bills of
mortality.
The deaths from the zymotic class of diseases,
which in the previous week were 181, were I,st
week 170. Of the six principal diseases in this
class, diarrhoea a?one shows a tendency to increase,
the cases in which it was fatal having been in the
in the last three weeks 12, 17, and 26. Summer
cholera has made its appearancs as usual, and 4
deaths are referred to it under the designa-jon
"English cholera," " cholera infantum," or " cho-
leraic diarrhoea." A severe case of this complaint
manifested itself in St. Anne-street, Limehonse,
whore a man, 26 years of age, died af er a day's
illness. Small-pox was fatal in only one case,
which occurred in Deptford. Measles carried off
24 children, but the only parts in which it seems
to be more fatal than usual aro the Goswellestreet
and City•road sub-districts, in each of which four
deaths from it are returned. The deaths from
hooping-cough were 47, of which 5 occurred in the
Rectory sub-district, Maryleboue.
The deaths caused by diseases of the respiratory
organs were last week 125 ; the corrected average
is 134. Those from bronchitis, which a few weeks
ago were 100 or more, have declined to 63.
Only 3 persons whose deaths are returned bed
attained the age of 90 years or upwards. Two
women were 93 years old ; and a widow died in
Hereford-street, Marylebone, at the great age of
96 years.

Last week the births of 774 boys and 768 girl=,
in all 1,542 children, were registered in London.
In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1847-
56, the average number was 1,497.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 29.877 in.
The highest reading was 22.99 in. on the morning
of Thursday. The mean temperature of the week
was 60.6 deg., which is nearly 4 deg. higher than
that of the previous week, and 3.9 deg. above the
average of the same week in 43 year (as deter-
mined by Mr. Glaisher). The mean daily tempera-
ture was more or less above the average on every
day of the week except Monday, and the excess on
Friday and Saturday was 10 deg. and 11 deg. The
mean dew-point temperature was 51 deg., and the
difference between this and the mean air tempera-
ture was 9'6 deg. The highest reading of the ther-
mometer in the sun was 106.7 deg., which occurred
on Friday. The mean temperature of the water of
the Thames was 62 deg. ; on Saturday the tempe-
rature of the river rose to 64.7 deg. The wind was
in the north-east on the first two days ; afterwards
it was for the most part in the south west. Rain
fell to the amount of 0.23 in., most of which fell in
the afternoon of Saturday.
