Health Of London During The Week. The De...
HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK . The deaths of 1021 persons were registered during the last week ( August 21-7 ) in London . The number is below the average of the corresponding week in previous years , even if we strike out of the calculation the week of 1849 , in which 2796 persons died from epidemic cholera and other causes . Of the 514 males and 507 females , 517 were children underlo vears . 6 f age , 316 wore adults of" 15 and under 60
years of age , 187 were old people ; 2 of the men and 19 of the women had attained the ages of 85 , 90 , and upwards . The causes of death present one feature of much intei'est ; 137 of the deaths were referred to diarrhoea , 18 to cholera . Five of the persons who died of cholera were adults , and the shortness of life after attack , 7 hours , 9 hours , and 13 hours in three cases , with the other symptoms , appears to have left no doubt on the minds of the medical men in attendance that they had before them cases of epidemic cholera .
In the corresponding wesks of 1851 and 1852 the deaths from cholera were 28 and 15 , and the deaths from diarrhoea were 174 and 125 . But it was shown at that time , from the analogy of the previous epidemics and the general character of the eases , that the disease was not likely then to assume the Asiatic form . Now our hopes that England may escape are less sanguine ; but it is right to mention that in the last weeks of August and the first weeks of September the cholera of the common form is virulent , and sometimes simulates the Asiatic cholera , which has besides never prevailed here to any extent until it has been some months in the country .
It is satisfactory to reflect that active measures have been adopted by the Secretary of State to close the London churchyards , and that the water supply , although still bad , is likely to be greatly improved ere long . While this great disease is evincing so much activity , our sanatory arrangements , particularly that great measure for the purification of the Thames and the drainage of London , will not be allowed to linger unachieved . The public should at this moment bear in mind that nearly every quickly fatal ' case of Asiatic cholera is
preceded for a few hours by a painless diarrhoea , and that in its first stages the diarrhoea can generally be cured by medical men , and the ., threatening attacks of cholera be averted . They should therefore in all cases of diarrhoea , whether occurring _ in children or in adults , immediately apply for medical advice . The importance of this rule was adverted to last week by Dr . Macloughlin , and was painfully confirmed by the ballast-heaver , aged 46 years , who had early in the morning , ' ¦ ' diarrhoea which ho did not heed , " and died in 7 hours after the first evident symptoms of cholera appeared .
Last week the births of 803 boys and 683 girls , in all 1486 children , were registered in London . In the eight corresponding weeks of the years 1845-52 tho average number was 1352 . At the Royal Observatory , Greenwich , the mean height of tho barometer in the week was 29 " 543 in . The mean temperature of the week was 58-6 deg ., which is slightly below the average of the same week in 38 years . Tho highest temperature of the week was 74 * 5 deg ., on Sunday ; tho lowest was 47 * 2 dog ., and occurred on Friday . Tho greatest difference between the dew point temperature and air temperature was 15 deg . on Sunday ; tho least 0-0 deg . on Tuesday ; the mean difference of the week was 5-6 dog . ; nearly one inch of rain fell on Tuesday . Tho wind was chiefly from the south and south-west .

Money Maeket And City Intelligence. Frid...
MONEY MAEKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . Friday Evening , September 2 , 1853 . There has been a decline in prices since last -week , chiefly in the heavy railway speculative stock , and some French railway companies . Consols , on Thursday , partly in consequence of the Bank raising its rate of interest , touched 97 £ h both for money and 8 th-September account ; the ' excessively bad weather ; during the last few days , must be taken in account , and no doubt has been a great cause of the fall of prices , together with the annual migration of jobbers , brokers , and their principals , , commencing about this period . Quotations , in our opinion , would not vary , or be so good as they are , but for the continual time bargains , or speculative operations , of the Stock Exchange " bulls and bears , " the value of . shares or stock thereby resting not so much on its intrinsic merit as the disposition of those in the market , speeulatively to buy or sell for the account , a difficulty in delivering , or an excess of stock on the market , of course causing a corresponding rise or fall in price . Where no such operations are effected , and where there is what i 3 called a limited market , as in the Grand Trunk Railway of Upper Canada , some of the chartered banks of Australia , and Australian land companies , tlie prices showing a steady declining tendenc } r . What little business has been done in the Mining Market has been chiefly operations in Aqua Fria , English and Austrian copper , Linares Nouveau Monde and Mariposa , at slightly advanced prices . Motcalf Mining Copper are still lower , now hovering at only 3 prem . Magdelona Steam shares have boon freely sold at 1 | discount , but tho stock has been less easily delivered than hitherto . Land shares are still flat . Austrian Agricultural , 33-35 ; North British Australian Company , - } discount to -j prem . ; Van Dicman . s , lfi-17 .
