is no doubt that the observation can be speedily per. firmed. That the children of the poor, at least in London, die in very great numbers, appears manifest from the Reports of the Committee on F, iendly Socie ! ties; but whether the presence or absence of the small pox, rather than the obvious evil of bad nursing, is the cause or antidote, is a matter a Melt at all events is not ■ self evident proposition. Whether, after all, the small pox itself might not have been the develhpment of some evil principle in a particular form, which, opposed and pot down in that form, might not still be in a state of activity in some other; or, to speak plainly. whether in proportion as small pox bas fallen to a discount— scrpfola, consumption, and a power of other maladies have not risen to a heavy premium, is a question en tirely submitted to those within whose province it falls to be answered. Be this as it may, the gradual dimi nution of mortality in flutterer life, in middle and old age specially, presents one practical consequence of the greatest impotence in financial calculation►. if the diminution had been doubtful, or very slight in degree, it would follow as a matter of course, that a combina tion of all the facts observed upon would have formed the proper basis for lite annuities and insurances; but this being quite otherwise, there was no choice but combination of two or three observations, the latest in point of time. In every census there are found alive many more fe males than males, while in the births and baptisms of every town, district, or kingdom. there is invariably produced at least 105 boys, for every 100 girls. The lesser mortality of females wai known to M. de Par cieuz, but he was unable to assign the precise magni• tude of the difference, except in regard to the monks and nuns. Four years previously it had been made pub lic by M. Wm. Kersseboom, who hoverer disregarded the difference in the general table of mortality which be sent forth. His data exhibit, from the experience of many thousands. the mean duration of male children distinct from that of -females; and those infants must of necessity have commenced existence nearly two centti• ries ago. With a slight correction the result may be briefly stated thus; If there were ten classes of children at each age, the first under one year old, the last aged nine; and if the mean duration of life which it was found each individual in a class had ultimately attained were separately set out. the sum.of the existence ob tained by boys would be 369 years, that of the girls 402 5- In other observations, taken at Montpelier, in France, the fact was once more affirmed. The existence of ten males as before being 396.79 year: ; ten females, 424.69. Again, on the whole population of Sweden it was in like manner established; ten male children having 44763; and ten females. 471.26 years. And lastly, two additional tables have very recently appeared, showing the mot tality of males and females respectively, both for the city of Amsterdam and the city of Brus sels, pusslislied in the latter in 1827, by M. Quetelet, among the a Recherches cur la Population, les Nais sauces. B<c. dans le ltoyaume des Pays Bas." Taking in these, as in the lotirner cases, the sum of the first ten years existence, there is at Amsterdam for the males 402.15, for the females 450.43; and at Brussels, for the males 397.97. the females 41293.. So that if the ex igence of the male children be represented in each of those six instances, by the number 100,000. that of the females will by proportiru stand' as under, vis._ Anciently in H0114n41, 109.079; at Chester, 111,831 ; at :Vlontrelier. 107 031; in Sweden, 105.279; in Am sterdam, 112,005 ; in Brussels, 103.764. All these Jesuits, it will be remembered, except the fist, are 'founded merely on statistical data. But the superiority of female life is evident iu every instance. It is hoped that the annexed observations will remove all doubt whatsoever on that subject. They demonstrate that, except tinder the age rt 12 and above the ige of 85 (extreme periods in which perhaps no distinction of the mortality is apparent), there is at every other period el life a remai Lade and decided advantage in favour of the female. This is first must evident about 14, after which the mortality among the female sex is observed to proceed onwards to the age of 55 with the slightest imaginable increase, contrary to many received notions that child-bearing and nursing entail on this sex a severe mortality in early life, and that in the earlier stages of the decline of life they are also subject to many casualties; all which is otterly disproved by the fact. It is not true, but quite the contrary, therefore, that married women incur greater danger than the single; and reasonably may this conclusion be admitted, when it is considered that the mauled are, in'tlie first instance, in regard to health and strength of constitution, always the elite of the whole sex, the unhealthy not choosing,to marry. After 60 the female mortality ad vances more rapidly. but is always, until the age of 80 at least, very decidedly less than that of the males. Among these on the contrary, aft- r the age of 14, a remarkable increase of mortality occurs, Which rapidly advances till the age of 23 ; it then diminishes till 33; very slightly rises again and falls alternately till the age of 49. when it stands at the same point as at 23. From 49 the decline of life commences on the side of the males the same as with regard to the female.. and these occurrences are manifest in almost every one of the obser• stations—a matter that cannot be referre I to accident.

It appears that Rautcain PACHA, the new Grand Visier, has succeeded, not only in appeasing the discontent of ' , the Albanians, but in inducing them to enter into a convention, by which they agree to send 6,000 men ins . - usediately to the Danube, and to place a further number of 6,000 under the orders of the Pacha of JANINA. The Pacha of Sourant had also been desired to send troops to Janina.
