Health Of London During The Week. The To...
HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK . The total number of deaths registered in the met ropolitan districts in the week that ended last Saturday Was 971 . In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1843-62 the average number was 1049 , which , raised in a certain proportion according to increase of population , gives an estimated : amount of 1164 . Last week ' s registration therefore shows that the actual mortality is 1 ' less than the corrected average by 183 . . . The deaths ascribed to zymotic diseases are 226 , about the same number as in the previous week . In the two
weeks fatal cases of small-pox were respectively A and a , of measles 26 and 11 , scarlatina 27 and 26 , hooping-cougn 37 and 30 , typhus and other fever 61 and 58 . The only fact particularly attracting notice is the increase , _ usual at this season , of diarrhoea . The numbers referred to . this complaint in the last four weeks are the following : 28 , o 4 , 64 , and 73 . It appears that the last few days have witnessed a decided increase both in diarrhoea and summer cholera ; and though typhus contributes nothing more than the usual proportion to the weekly mortality , local reports show that it is prevalent in some parts .
Last week the births of 819 boys and 741 girls , in all 1660 children were registered in London . In the eight corresponding weeks of the years 1845-52 the average number was 1336 . *¦ At the Royal Observatory , Greenwich , the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29-745 in . The reading of the barometer increased from 29-72 in . at the beginning of the week to 29-79 in . by 9 h . p . m . on the 17 th ; decreased to 29 * 70 in . by noon on the 18 th ; increased to 29 * 83 in . by 9 h . p . m . on the 19 th ; remained at this reading nearly till 3 h . p . m . on the 20 th ; decreased to 29-59 in . by 3 h . p . m . on the 22 nd ; increased to 29-85 in . by noon on the 23 rd ; and
decreased to 29-81 in . by the end of the -week . The mean temperature of the week was 59 * 6 degs . or 2-2 degs . below the temperature of the same week on an average of 38 years . The mean daily temperature was below the average on every day of the week . The highest temperature was 73 degs ., and occurred on Saturday ; the lowest was 50-7 degs , and occurred on Monday . The greatest difference between the dew point temperature and air temperature was 15 * 4 degs . on Saturday ; the least was 1 * 9 degs . on Wednesday ; the mean difference of the week was 7 ' 8 degs . The wind blew on six days from the south-west . The amount of rain was 0 . 29 in . The highest temperature of the water of the Thames was 64-1 degs . ; the lowest 59 ' 7 degs .

City Intelligence. Corn Market. Mark Lan...
CITY INTELLIGENCE . CORN MARKET . Mark Lane , Friday , July 29 , 1853 . The supplies of all grain during the week have been moderate . Notwithstanding heavy rain during the week , a return of fine weather has caused the wheat trade to be dull to-day , and only a small amount of business has been done at the prices current this day week . The value of wheat continues to advance in the northern continental ports . Danish barley is very scarce here , and brings full prices . Several cargoes have arrived recently from the Mediterranean , and this description meets a slow sale . Oats are fully 6 d . cheaper than this day week .
