HEdLTHof LONDON DURING the WEEK.
(From the Registrar - General's Report.)
In the week ending last Saturday, the deahs re-
gist,-red in the metiop.)li:-an distriets were 967. show-
ing an increase of nearly 100 4m those of the previon.,
week, and a dispo,ition to rise after a eowinuous
fall during a period of years (1840-9) is 991, whi,,h,
if corrected for increase of population, become 1,081 ;
the number now returned is theref ,re It.es than
the average by 144 deaths. T,lcing again the ten
corre,ponding week., it appears that the deaths fluctu-
ated between 792 and 1,118, and that the mortality,
which showed a decided tendency to increase in later
years, rose in the last three above 1,003. To account
for the excess in thm present return over that of the for-
mer week, the only epidemics observed to be more f ital,
are hooking-cough, croup and diarrhoea, which num-
bered respectively 43, 9, and 17 against 35, 3,
and 9 of the previous return ; but these diseases,
except the last, do not seem to prevail more than usual
at this season. The 17 deaths from diarrhoea, are
double the average of ten corresponding weeks, but in
the three weeks of 1847 49, during which years this
complaint has increased, they were 10, 19, and 20.
The increase is further accounted for by phthisis, the
mortality from which has risen to near the average,
and amounts to 143 deaths ; and also to some extent
by bronchitis from which there were 79, and by pneu-
monia from which there were 82, though neither of
these numbers is remarkable as compared with returns
for the same season in the last three years. The deaths
of three persons were registered last week from
cholera, of which the following are the particulars:—
In Golden-square subdistrict, at 174, Regent-street,
a chemist died on the 10th of March, at the age of
56 years, of " cachexia (6 months), English cholera
(3 weeks)." In Sr.. Mary (subdistrict of Marylebone),
at 2, Salisbury-place, a widow died on the 7th of
March, aged 77 years, of "cholera biliosa (2 days),
indigestion." And in west subdistrict of Islington,
at 24 Albion-grove West, a widow lady died on the
14th of March, at the age of 73 years, from " premoni-
tary diarrhoea (16 hours), cholera (46 hours)." With
reference to the last case, Mr. Watts, the registrar,
states that "the locality is good, well paved and drained,
awl has a regular supply of New River water." At
3, Newman's-mews, in All Souls, a looking-glass
silverer died at the age of 49 years of " salivation—
effusion on the brain." " Copious salivation was pro-
duced by the constant use of mercury in the exercise
of his profession." Two men died from excessive
drinking, which produced in one case apoplexy, and
in another delirium tremens. Last week there were
registered the deaths of 85 persons in workhouses, of
69 in hospitals, of which 17 occurred in military and
naval institutions, and 7 in lunatic asylums.
The births during the week were 1,384.

At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
daily reading of the barometer was above 30 in. on
every day in the week ; on Tuesday it was so high as
30.438 ; and the mean for the week was 30 292. The
temperature decreased considerably towards the end of
the week, and the mean was 40.9 deg., rather less than
the average of the same week in seven years. It was
less than the average on the last three days, and on
Friday and Saturday was from 4 deg. to d deg. less
than the average of these days.
