THE HEALTH OF LONDON.

The following interesting summary of births, deaths,
and causes of deaths in London, with meteorological
observations, for the 15 years 1842-1856, compiled chiefly
from the weekly returns, has just been published by
authority of the Registrar-General :
44,159
1856—Births { Males Total 86,833
Females 42,674
Ic's6—Deaths { FE:Measles (9A,} Total 56,786
1856—Population
(Estimated for Males 1,225,546
Total 2,616,248
the middle of Females 1,390,702
the year)
"In the 52 weeks that ended December 27 the num•
ber ot children born in London was 86,833. According
to a rule which holds invariably in this large population,
the number of males exceeded that of females, for the
births consisted of 44,159 boys and 42,674 girls. In the
same period 56,786 persons died—namely, 28,894 males
and 27,892 females. The births increase more or less
rapidly with the population ; and under a reduced rate
of mortality the number of deaths in 1856 was less than
that of any previous year since 1852, and the result is an
excess greater than was obtained in any former year of
births over deaths. This excess is 38,647. Soldiers and
seamen have returned from the seat of war, persons en•
gaged in peaceful pursuits have arrived iu the capital
from other parts ot the United Kingdom and from
abroad, and, though many have left it for other homes,
it may be assumed that sustenance, clothing, and hou.P
accommodation must now be found in London for abDut
GO,OOO inhabitants more than it contained at the end of
1855.

" Last year the public health was unusually good.
During the last 10 years the annual deaths in London
have been on the average 25 tol,ooo of the population; in
1856 the proportion was 22 to 1,000. The mortality was
lower than in any year within thelimits of this comparison
except 1850, when it was slightly less than 21 in 1,000, a
redaction which, it is probable, was partly the conse-
quence of the premature destruction of infirm persons
by the cholera of the previous year. That improved
state of health which last year prevailed in London as a
whole was in various degrees enjoyed by each of the five
great divisions of which it is composed. The mortality
ranged from 21 in the western and northern divisions
of
23 in the eastern. But without reference to the rtilotiei_f.

deaths fell to 949. D 'auh cea prevailed among infants
in summer, which to other classes of the community is
the healthiest season ; and hence, though the mortality
was rather higher in winter than in the other quarters,
its uniformity throughout the year is remarkable. An
exception to this statement must be made with regard
to October, which was conspicuous among the months
for its low rate of mortality, the weekly deaths having
been considerably less than 1,000. The mean tempera.
ture during great part of that month was 53 deg. The
most fatal period was the first week in December, when
the deaths rose above 1,310, in consequence of the great
rigour combined with sudden change in the state of the
atmosphere. 22 inches of rain fell in 1856 ; the average
of the last 40 years is nearly 26. In the second quarter
the rain-fall was in excess of the average. The horizon-
tal movement of the air was, on an average, four miles
an hour.
The decline of smallpox in London may be traced
through the last seven quarters. In the spring quarter

,
e. /7_ - c_

of 1855 the deaths from it were 328 ; thereafter the
quarterly numbers were 196, 177, 194, 146, 103, having
decreased almost continuously till they were only 74 in
the last quarter of 1856. the annual mortality from
scarlatina har only been perceptibly less since 1.851. If
the deaths fraru this disease, as they occurred".. iri,four
seasons during the last live years, he comparedeit
be seen that they always arose rapidly towards disclose--
of each year; in 1854, when scarlatina was most fatale
the deaths front it were 3,439, and in the last quarter or
that year, 1,297 ; in 1856 they were 1,795 ; and in the
last quarter, 556, having
been in each of the pre: ions
three quarters about 400. Whooping-cough differs from
scarlatina in this respect, that it is almost invariably
most fatal in the winter quarter, viz., January, February,
and March, and (in the nest degree) in the spring. The
deaths from whooping-cough were 2,078, showing a de-
crease on some previous years. Measles alone, of the
four epidemics mentioned, exhibits an increase ; in
1855 it was fatal in 864 cases, but last year in 1,445,
"The number of persons who died in 116 public in-
stitutions was 10,331. Nearly one person out of five
who died in the year closed his days under a roof pro-
vided by public law or private charity. In workhouses
the deaths of females preponderated over those of males ;
in hospitals for the sick, lunatic asylums, and prisons,
the numbers in relation to sex are inverted, the inmates
of the houses last mentioned being chiefly men and boys.
The deaths of soldiers and seamen, which during the
war rose each year above 400 in the London military
and naval hospitals, were last year 282.
"On the 24th of November the temperature suddenly
fell, and, after remaining amid some fluctuations low
for the following ten days, it rose again on December
5, and continued for some days higher than the mean
temperature of the year. The mean temperature
of the 10 cold days was 36.6 degrees, and it ranged
from 27.7 degrees to 47.6 degrees. But the mean night
temperature was 26.9 deg., and the range was from 19.4
deg. to 35'3 deg. Upon the grass the thermometer fell
one night to 9.5 deg. Fog prevailed for the first four
days, but was afterwards dispelled ; on Thursday, Dec.
the 4th, rain fell, and an increase of 10 deg. of tempera-
turo took place between the hours of 6 p.m. and 8 p.m.,
followed by a nocturnal rising temperature, accompanied
by a magnetic disturbance. Electricity was positive
throughout the period, and volleys of sparks as well as
galvanic currents were frequent at first, and became con-
stant during the last five days.

"Althou,2,ll the temperature was not on an average be-
low the freezing point, and the freezing did not, as in the
six weeks ending on Feb. 21, 1855, when the mean tem-
perature was 28'4 deg., exhibit the eff, cts of extreme and
protracted cold on the populatioz of London, it was
held to be a favourable opportunity fur investigating the
immediate effects of a fall to a comparatively low tempe-
rature followed by a mild temperature.
" The deaths at different ages, and of the several
diseases in the nosology, were taken out for each day
from Nov. the 23d to Dec. the 13th.

"The 10 days (Nov. the 26th to Dec. the sth) may b•
called cold (lays ; the 10 days (Nov. the 23d, 24th, Dec.
the 6th to 13th) may be called warm days, for the sake
of distinction.

"The general result is that the deaths in London during
10 cold days were 1,844, while the deaths in the 10 warm
days were 1,505. The excess of deaths in the cold days
was 339, or nearly 34 daily.
" Under 5 years of age the mortality was increased by
cold one-fourth part ; at the age of 5 to 10 there was no
increase ; at 10 and under 20 the increase was one-third
part ; at 20-40 one-sixth part ; at 40-60 one-fifth part ;
at 60-80 one-third part. At the age SO and upwards no
effect of cold is shown.
"The deaths by consumption were increased at the
age 20 and under 60.
" The deaths by lung diseases and heart diseases were
increased by the cold; but on the brain diseases the effect
is not obvious."

LORD ADOLPHUS VANE TEMPEST, M.P.

A few days since, Lord Adolphus Vane lempest, one
of the members of Parliament for the Northern Division
of the County of Durham, met and addressed a number
of the electors of that division, in the Golden Lion As-
sembly Rooms, South Shields.
His LORDSHIP, who was received with applause, after
a few preliminary observations, alluded to two questions
having great affinity with. each other, via., the education
of the poorer classes, and the question what we are to de
with our criminal population? These two questions, he
said, had a wonderful affinity to each other, and binged
essentially upon one another. As they increased their
education, he conceived they diminished their crime. A
celebrated man had said, in speaking of a river which
had long run a muddy and polluted course, " You must
not go into the middle of the river to cleanse it, but you
must go to the source whence it drew its discoloured
stream." That was the principle upon which they ought
to go. They should go to the fountain head, the source of
crime, which he conceived to be ignorance. Let them
extend education as much as they possioly could, for he
was perfectly satisfied that in proportion as they did so,
would the crime be diminished which existed in this
country. When he observed that there was only 400,0001.
given, and given grudgingly, by the Government of this
country to the cause of education, and reflected upon the
millions which were expended in convictions, prosecu-
tions, and punishing their criminals, he aid think that
the expenditure should be reversed, for they might rest
assured that the more they spent on education, the less
they would have to spend in punishing the perpetrators
of crime. lie hoped that this question .vould assume
sonic practical form in the house next session. For him-
self, he was exceedingly favourable to the extension of
education. (Hear, hear.) His lordship then referred to
the question—" What is to be done with our criminal
population ?" The ticket-of-leave system had certainly
nut worked with the success that was anticipated. Thn
system was imperfect, and which be proceeded to de-

mphilanthropic
individual, however, would like to see a recurrence of
the Norfolk Island system. His lordship adverted to
the idea of employing convicts on public works, &c., and
proceeded to quote some statistics in reference to what
was doing in various prisons in the country, illustrative
of the superior advantages of the system pursued at
Mi;bank and Portland Prisons. In the Portland pri-
son, at the end of 1854, there were 1,462 prisoners,
who were employed in quarrying, on the prison build.
ings, or on fortifications, &c., without at all interfering
with free labour. He found the cost of keeping those
prisoners amounted to the sum of 48,8331. ; but they
had earned the sum of 42,8311. The cost of their main-
tenance had therefore been reduced to about 6,0001.
At Pentonville, the cost of keeping the prisoners
amounted to 16,0751., reduced by the amount earned by
them to 15,7751. At Parkhurst the cost of keeping
prisoners was 16,1231., reduced by their labour to
' 14,277/. At Milbank the cost of prisoners' main-
tenance was 40,235/. ; the amount received for
labour, 32,283/. The quotations, he conceived,
in a manner, gave a clue to the settlement of thie
vexed question, and one which had occupied so much
attention. The convict could be employed to the ad-
vantage of the country, and without interferng with
free labour. He would employ them in constructing
harbours of refuge, fortifications, &c. There were many
questions which no doubt would engage the attention
of the Legislature during the ensuing session. There
was, however, one question which was being agitated
very much throughout the country. It was the income
tax. (Hear.) The question of taxation was a very
difficult one to touch upon. It was a difficult thing
for the Chancellor of the Exchequer to solve the quell-
tion how he could collect the revenue required by the
state, and at the same time give certain reductions.
With respect to the double income tax, his lordship
considered that it would be an act of trickery on the
part of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to take advan-
tage of the few days that elapsed between the signing
and ratification of peace, and inflict upon the country
for a longer period a double income tax. (Hear, and
applause.) He could not conceive that the Chancellor
of the Exchequer would be so blind to all feelings of
right, as to attempt to continue the people of Englan.l.
under this double or war tax. There would, however,
be such a strong pressure put upon the Government that
in his opinion there would be no chance of its imposition
for another year. For himself, when the subject came
before the house, he would adopt that course which
jug-
lice and equity demanded. Mr. Anderson also alluded
to the question of agricultural statistics. He was inclined
to think the agriculturists of England were quite
the measure which

pared to admit that it would bevoerfyamgruiucuhlttuottahlesitraatit

re. (Bear.) His lordship then referred to the question
for the extension of
lofi church leaseholds. He formerly took considerable
interest in this question—a question which he conceived
demanded the attention of any representative connected
with the county of Durham, where so much property was
held under the church. There could be no doubt that
the tenure under which the leasehoders held their pre*
perty had a withering and blighting effect upon the
improvement generally. Mr. Bell, in his essay on agri.
culture, proved that the system of church leassbolds had
been a great bar to agricultural and other improve.
means. It was not to be expected that a person would
lay out his money upon improvement, without he bad lb
reasonable expectation of getting a fair return for the
capital expendeo. (Hear.) He conceived that it would be
impossible to resist the claims of the leaseholders. When.
ever arrangements were made by the commissioners, due
regard should be had to the interests of the leaseholder.
(Hear, hear.) They should be met fairly and liberally.
(Hear, hear.) This subject should also have his moat
earnest attention. With respect to local dues on ship•
ping, he promised to give the matter his careful atten•
tion, and to endeavour by every possible, fair, and legi.
timate means, to advance the interest of the shipowners,
from any of whom he would be most happy to re-
ceive communications on the subject. His lordship
having thanked them for the attention with which they
had listened to his remarks, resumed his seat amid ap-
plause.
The CHAIRMAN said it only remained for them to
express their thanks to his lordship for the observations
which he had made to them.
Three cheers having been given to his lordship, thi
iroceedings terminated,
