REPORT of DISEASES in a WESTERN DISTRICT of LONDON, From December 21, 1805, to January 21, 1806. The weather has been, on the whole, mild, during the period included by the present report. There has been more rai than is usual at this season of the year, and several high winds. The diseases have continued nearly of the same description as during the preceding month. Catarrhs, however, have not been quite so frequent, nor so acute. They still continue to be connected with symp toms of debility; and the more severe affections of the lungs have verged to the bastard penpneumony, as it is call ed, and have, in several instances, proved fatal. The small-pox seems to be greatly on the decline, following its usual course, as in the time of Sydenham. As the summer again advances, it will probably recommence its fatal attacks. At present, there is no ruling epidemic or contagious disease. Typhus fever, scarlet fever, and measles, are almost unknown in this district. The general good health which prevails, may be regarded as a strong evidence of the truth of the posi tion stated by Dr. Fothergill, that an open moist winter is the most favourable to the health of this country, and of the still more pointed observation of Dr. Heberden, (Philosoph. Transact for 1796,) that a mild winter, contrary to the general opinion, is much more conducive to the health of the inhabitants of this island, than the clear continued frosts, which are hailed as the most wholesome accompaniments of winter.

LIGHT and dry lands are now expeditiously getting into culture for oats and pease; but the strong soils and clays, are in a very wet and backward state at present; a week's continuation, however, of the present dry weather, will materially alter the case for the better, and much forward the bean-setting. The slug has been particularly active this warm season, among the wheats, which in many parts, look but indifferently, and it being probably now too late for any considerable winter frosts, there is but too much reason to apprehend a cold spring. The wheats not being generally so rank and large a plant as is common in warm and wet winters, is perhaps a favourable symptom. Rye, tares, cale, cabbage, &c. fine crops; and a considerable quantity of corn is expended in fatting beasts and sheep. Much wheat, which was harvested too early, comes cold to hand, yet makes good ficur, and is a full average crop; in the North, more than an average, where agriculture is in a very improving state. Threshing machines are coming more and more into use in all parts, and they do the business so clean and well, that the pigs would be actually starved if left to what they could find in the straw, as in former days. In some parts, the labourers are much set against these machines; in others, probably where work is in plenty, they are so satisfied, that they desire not to go into the barns. The scufflers, or cultivators, are also getting farther into use, and save a great deal of ploughing, besides making a very fine tilth. The stock of lean and fat cattle, very large and very dear. Pigs as before, scarce and dear, particularly large stores. Markets large in Smithfield, but dearer, and a midling commodity goes off at a higher price than before Christmas.
