Health-os Lokdo-i _Dniosa _theWeek . - _^ -the week ending last' Saturday , 965 deaths were registered in London .- The increase on the return of t he previous week , when only 775 deaths _, occurred , . arisesnot from-an increased rate of mortality , but from an influx of eases which had been the subjects of coroners * inquests at various periods in the last three months , but were not registered till tbe end of the quarter . The corrected average for . 10 corresponding we eks iri 1840-9 , is 994 ; compared with which the deaths of last week exhibit a decrease of . ' 29 . Tea persons , bf whom 9 were children , died of _-fsmaltpoir , 17 of measles , 14 of scarlatina , 19 of hooping-cough , and 34 of typhus ; all of these epi-. demies showing much less than the usual mortality , except the last , which differs little from the average .
But diarrhoea shows a considerable increase ; in the last three _weess the fatal cases have run thus , —17 , _19 ,-and 33 . —Two deaths from cholera were regstered : —Oa the 25 th of June , at 4 , Princess-street , fcipplegate , a porter _. aged 33 years , died of '' acute rheumatism { 10 days ) , cholera { 3 days . ) The deceased had a _gevereattaoBMbholerain August last , and since tbat time _bis _^ Keflth has not been good . On the 28 th of June , at 23 _^ Wmdmill-row , the wife of a labourer , aged 54 years , died-bf " bilious cholera ( 45 hours . )' ' The certificate adds that "there was no purging in this case / ' Mr . Hears , the registrar , when cholera prevailed last . year , described this row as in a filthy condition , and angularly adapted to generate disease . The mean height of the barometer in the week was 29 * 888 inches . The mean temperature was 46 * 2 deg . It was more than 7 deg . above the average on the first four days , and it was below it during the remainder ofthe week . ¦
Death _weuxbtikbeu thb Influence of Chloroform . —On Friday afternoon , June 28 _ih , an important investigation took place before Mr . William Payne , in the Board Room of Guy ' s Hospital , respecting the death of Alexander Scott , aged thirtyfour , a policeman of ths R . division , who died from the effects of chloroform while undergoing an operation for the removal of a portion of the right hand , which had been bitten by a man thirteen months previously whilst on duty at Deptford . Some unimportant evidence having been taken , Mr . Edward Cock , Slid the deceased was sent to him by a surgeon at Deptford for a gavere pain in the right hand . One of the fingers had been removed , and deceased suffered great pain at the stump . ' Witness found him to be a
strong vigoroas men . The bone was in a diseased state , as were also the nerves , producing immense . tenderness of the arm and right side of the body . The only remedy was to remove the end of the bone ¦ and the diseased nerves . The deceased came into the hospital to bave the operation performed , when deceased said , "i hope , Mr . Cock , you will give me chloroform , for I cannot bear the pain . " Witness informed him that he would rather not use it , ahd endeavoured to dissuade him from taking it ; bnt the deceased added that he had made up his mind to 'have it administered to him . Witness always objec--ted to _fiie use of ehloroform , for it conld never be -given without some degree of danger . The ordinary machine was used , and , as it had not the effect ,
witness directed thata napkin should be folded into the shapeof a cone , which was applied , with chloroform . The _ojerafion of removing a portion of the bone occupied one minute and a half , but before it was completed ihe blood , which was gushing out , suddenly stopped , when witness directed Mr . Lacey to feel the pulse of tbe deceased ; when they ascertained that the deceased had expired . —Coroner : What " was the cause of death?—Witness : The chloroform , most undoubtedly . ¦ In this instance a very small quantity had been used , not a tenth part of what bad been administered in other cases . Witness could not account for the deceased dying , and was certain , there was no disease about him . So strong and powerful
: agent was chloroform , that it could not be administered without some amount of risk and danger , and the penalty the public must pay for the alleviation from pain , would be a death occasionally . A similar -death occurred about twelve months since at St . c Tfaomas _' s Hospital , and many other deaths might be _TScbrfed . It might be used one or two thousand 'times or more successfully , aud was * of great assis-• taace to the operator .- The publicoughtto know the danger and great-risk attending its . administration . _ many . c & g « where chloroform , had been used wit" _ness } had Availed' with , breathless attention for the " recovery " of the patient Witness strongly , objected : to its use . —The coroner then summed' up the _evidence , and the jury returned "a verdict of " Died 'from the effects of chloroform . " f _- . _- ¦• - •¦ - ¦¦

• Suicide wi a . Clergyman . —A few days since , the Rev . William Prescottj a clergyman , aged forty from the country , entered King ' s _C-illege Hospital ; for the purpose of undergoing the operation of lithotomy . . On the 28 th alt ,, it was intimated to him that the operation would be soon performed , when he appeared willing to undergo it . In the evening tbe porter fonnd tbe unfortunate gentleman banging , and quite dead in a closet .

; _ _AccniBNT TO Mr . Green , ihb Aeronaut . _^ Gbavxszsd . —At about a quarter to nine o ' clock on Saturday night last , a balloon , under the direction , as it appears , of Mr . Green , the celebrated aeronaut , accompanied by another gentleman , passed over this town , in nearly a direct easterly course down the riveri' la almost a quarter of an hour afterwards it descended suddenly and fell into the river near _Jenkin buoy , off the Nore . A barge happening to be coming up the river at that point , observing the floating , monster balloon , made towards it , as did also the Fly revenue cutter ; and fortunately rescued Mr . Greed and his _eovtpognon- du voyage from their perilous : position . The captain and crew of the
cotter found great difficulty ia securing the _balloon , hat the expedient adopted by the captain—namely , pouring a volley of musketry into it so as to give , by the perforations , room for the gad * " to escape , In a Ehnrt time enabled them to secure it . It was put on board the barge , and brought , with its owner and his companion , to this'town . They , after a short stay at Mr . Waites ' s Hotel , proceeded to London , at four o ' clock on Sunday morning . Mr . Green liberally rewarded the crew of the barge , who mainly contributed to save himself and friend from a watery grave . We regret to be obb ' ged to add tbat Mr . Green is severely injured on the head and face , doubtless from the struggles be had fo make to keep himself on the balloon when in the water .

He had been married about seven months . Witness had her suspicions , from what had been told her by a surgeon , and from what had been stated to bier by her son , that he was suffering from somethine he had taken . He came to her on Friday ,- the 14 th June , and was very ill . He complained of excessive sickness , and said that , at breakfast time , his wife gave him a cup of coffee which was so nasty that he could not drink it . He remarked to her that she had put something in it ; which she denied , when he observed ,: " If you have not , then drink it . " She immediately took it out of his hand , and threw it under tho stove . He asked her to go to the dispensary with him , as he was very ill He had some medicine _^ On the
Monday following he came again . He Still continued to complain of sickness . - Witness did not see him again till the subsequent Monday , when she scarcely knew him , as his head was so swollen j He also stated that his legs and stomach had swelled greatly . In answer to the jury , ' the witness stated that until her son was taken ill with sick- ' ness he always had excellent health : She believed tbat deceased did not live happily with ; his wifel- * j The Coroner , having here been informed that de- ; ceased's wife was in the house , directed that she ' should be brought into the inquest room . He then read the evidence ofthe witnesses to her , ' after ; which he asked her if she had any questions to put to either of them , stating to her that' she had liberty to do so . She said that she had not . —The inquiry was subsequently adjourned , to have a post mortem examination of the body , and an analysis of the contents of the stomach .
The Post-office Obstruction . —At an ; inquest : held on Tuesday , at the Heroof Waterloo , Lambeth , ' on a boy , who fell into the water and was drowned ,-Mr . _"Wm . Carter ; tbe coroner , remarked'that the : recent alterations in the Post-office were likely to ] work very prejudicially between the coroner ' s ofiice and the public . He lived at Kingston , arid received information of all cases requiring his attendance throughthe post . Oh Saturday night last _, he went to the post-office and received his letters , ' for which he had to pay one penny on each . Now ! that was an additional tax , but what was still ; worse , he sent his warrant appointing the present inquiry for Tuesday . He ( the coroner ) came to : tow a , but when he arrived at the place appointed to ! hold the inquest he found neither the ' summoning :
officer nor the jury . Alter a great loss of time he , found that the constable had not received his war-i rant until one o'clock in the day instead of eight ' o ' clock in the morning , Owing to the recent postal alterations : The consequence was that he was obliged to go back to Kingston , and return again ; that day to hold the inquest . It was absolutely necessary that the earliest information should be forwarded to tbe coroner of all cases requiring an inquest , more especially during the hot weather , for ; if a postmortem examination should be required , tip : lapse of thirty-six or forty-eig ht hours mi ght tend _, to defeat the ends of justice . The jury were unanimously ofthe same opinion as the coroner , and they said the sooner the recent order was altered the ] better it would be for all parties . _.,. '
. Burning of a Brewery . — Shortly after one o ' clock on Saturday last , an alarming and destructive fire broke out at the spacious brewery belonging to Mr . Raven , situate in Bull ' s-fields , contiguous to the sappers and miners' barracks , Woolwich . . No time was lost by . the authorities of the dockyard , arsenal , and artillery barracks ' , in despatching , the , various engines belonging to those establishments , to the scene , hundreds of soldiers accompanying them . For a long time , however , they were unable to arrest the _progress of the flames ; owing to the want of a sufficient supply of water . Placed in this difficulty ,, and seeing no chance of a continuous supply of water , the troops , to ' stay the" further progress of the devouring element , proceeded to demolish the adjoining buildings and outhouses . \ By this means the fire was confined to the brewery in which it originated , the whole of which was burned to the ground . The extent of property destroyed is stated to be very considerable . , ,

Jackson ( No . 23 ) , and Mr . Weatherfield , surgeon , ( No . 21 , ) the destruction of the whole side of the street at one period seemed inevitable . The firemen , ' however , kept to their , posts , and , by conveying tiie hose of two or three engines ' on to the adjoining roofs , they were enabled / to ; cut 'off the further progress of the flames ; but . it was jriearly , ton ere they ' were wholly subdued . The total _lloss is ' very considerable , being estimated by . some [ ofthe firemen at nearly £ 2 , 000 . A . female in the lupper . part of the premises had a narrow escape .

District . — Wedne 3-bury , ; June , 29 .- —Under this date a correspondent feays : _—' . | Thefbusy , industrial district of ; which this place forms a sort of centre is in a very unsettled and unsatisfactory state ; ' i Various causes are operating to produce this—the depressed state of the iron trade ,
the : disputes between ; : the men and their masters about the payment ofiwages ; and . the continued ' strikes' on the part of the men in consequence of the attempts made to reduce their wages . During the last week the ' chain-makers of Cradley have turned out ; and at _Darlaston the gun-lock filers , to thenumber . of six hundred , are also laying idle . In the latter instance , at least , the poor men seem to be rather hardly dealt with .. ' There is an order in hand fromgovernment for 50 , 000 locks , but inthe _compej tition which necessarily takes place amongst the per-! ' ons who send in contracts , ' the : price' to be paid per ock has been reduced from 7 s . to 4 s 5 d . ; to meet this reduction , the contractors have required the workmen to produce _eaohlbck ' , including forging and
filing , at 3 _s . 7 d ., thereby leaving a profit bf lOd . per lock for . the contractor , or 2 d . more than they obtained during , the war . The contract now referred to is divided . amongst five persons , so thatthe clear profit to each , at the labour price offered to the men , would be something like £ 400 , whilst an expert workman would not be able to clear more than _half-acrbwn a day / ; Last September a reduction was made in the . _wages of this Class df workmen amounting tb ten per cent . ; the reductien now proposed iB something like ; twenty-five .-per cent . additional -this the men have resisted , and at present there appears to be little : probability of them and their employers coming to terms ; The government _assistant-inspeotor of small arms has been down to the- spot , but with no beneficial results . ' ; The men complain of promises made to them by him only to be broken ; and . whilst all the dissatisfaction and bad feeling produced by this increase , there are scores of families enduring
privation . The Board of Ordnance is to some extent to blame for this ,- but especially are they so for ' giving / their contracts to persons who arc connected with . ' tommyshopB' i and public-houses " ; it being generally an . understood thing that nearly all the money shall be expended thereat . ' The trade strikes in this district are becoming more and more frequent in their occurrence ; their evil effects it would be almost impossible to calculate . It is one of the greatest blots in our social system ; and itis one for which the employers are to-a great extent responsible . ' .
