BIRTHS AND 1)14718 IN LONDON:  The total number of deaths registered in London In the week that ended on Saturday, April 3, was 1,374. In the ten years 1848.67 the average number of deaths in the weeks corresponding with last week was 1,392, but as the deaths of last week occurred in an increased population, they should be compared with the average, after the latter has been raised proportionally to the increase, a correction which will make it 1,631. The deaths now returned are, therefore, lam by 167 than the number which the average rate of mortality would have produced. The registration of last week exceeds that of the previous week to the extent of 106 deaths ; but the excess arises from deaths, on which inquests had been held, having been entered in the registers in more than their due proportion, at the end of the quarter. and not from an increased rate of mortality. This will be evident when it is stated that came in which bronchitis, pneumonia, and asthma were fatal, declinedin the two weeks from 271 to 268; whereas deaths produced by mechanical or chemical injuries increased from 60 to 113. The same explanation applies to an increase of " sodden" deaths, of which the cause is unascertained or not defined, from 14 to 27.

(which is higher by 16 deg. than it bad been in the earlier part of the month) ; but in the last two weeks the air has not been so warm, the means having been 47 deg. and 46 deg.
