" The Post-office Turkish Bath x,lO, St. Martin's-le-Grand. —Dr. Culverwell has already established the reputation of an able physician ; he has nowproved himself to ben worthy Philanthropist, in as far as he has established, in the heart of th e Cit y, an institution that more nearly than any disco- Very of modern days, goes nearer the abolition of the practice of physic, than any proposition or invention yet established , the Turkish Bath. . . Our object being merely to direct the attention of our City readers to the fact that they posses s one of the best set of bathe, at 19, St. Martin's-le-Grand, which the country can produce; perfect in all its appliances, and most admirable in effect. Dr. C u l v erwell has fitted up his baths with a d egree o f elegance, luxury, and refinement , • which , considering th e space at his disposal, is truly sur prising, while everything that taste or delicacy could desire has been obtained to add to the comfort and luxury of the visitor. . .

The summary of the weekly returns of 1861 has just been issued, and is of an interesting nature. It shows the births to have been, males, 49,076; females, 47,313 ; total, 96,389 ; the deaths, males, 33,014; females, 31,987; total, 65,001; the popula tion (estimated for the middle of the Sear) being, males, 1,312,981; females, 1,502,157; total, 2,815,138. When the census was taken—on the Bth of April, 1861—the population of London was 2,803,289. If the rate of increase which prevailed in the decen nial period 1851-61 continued to govern its pro gress the population enumerated received an acces sion of 11,149 by the middle of 1861, and the total number became 2,815,138. In the ten years that intervened between the last two censuses the amount of increase of the London population was equal to 121 daily. But its natural increase; viz., the excess of births over deaths, did not much exceed 72 daily; whence it follows that nearly fifty persons on an average arrived and settled each day in the metropolis over and above that ascertained number of settlers who only stepped into the places of per sons who left it for parts in these islands beyond its bounds, or for more distant regions of the globe. Whether London is equal to the task of providing by new and improved arrangements for this constant accumulation of human beings within its limits still remains to be determined by experience. When a family increases in its nar row lodging, in circumstances of dirt and squalor, that bane; increase and w hich should be it s bl ess i ng b ecomes its a tlast fever destroy s w h a t s l ow di s • ease may have spared. And in a city or a state the growth of its population is not a strength to be trusted, but a weakness to be feared, if improve ment in its physical and moral condition is not te with e t the outbreaks of c h o l era , which growing urgency of its c w o a m n m ts e . ns T ur w a odistin made havoc in many families and struck terror into all, and the brief but fatal eruption of influenza in 1847, furnish the most remarkable passages in the sanitary history of the metropolis during the last 20 years ; but they cannot justly be regarded as its worst features. Other diseases, more frequent in their recurrence and persistent in their character, and also more wasteful in their effects, mark the whole period. Heavy bills of mortality forced public attention ; and in the course of these years important measures for the improvement of the public health have been undertaken, and some proof that they have not been unfruitful has been ob tained. Health officers have been appointed for the City of London, for Marylebone, and the other metropolitan districts. Inspectors of nuisances have acted in co-operation with them. Drainage works have been carried out, and are in progress. The water companies obtain their supply at higher positions in the river, and subject it to improved filtration. The markets are inspected, and attempts made, with partial success, to protect consumers against unsound meat and noxious, fraudulent compounds. Hospital ac commodation is extended; and, what is of prime necessity, the working classes have probably become more awakened to the care of their own health—to the importance of keeping their dwelling sweet and dry. This task, which is imposed on the people themselves, and can only be performed by them, it is the object of the police regulations to render possible; and unless it is fulfilled, public works will comparatively little avail. Altogether there is abundant proof of that increased regard for human life that attends civilisation; and though much re mains to be accomplished, it is true, according to the proverb, that " a work begun is half done. In the ten years 1840-9, the mean rate of mortality in London was 2.51 per cent. ; in the subsequent de cennium, 1850 9, it fell, to 2.36 per cent. It is still, -.,, .4tistElotoev te.- ,- -,- • - At ~ .-140 y.O otAM.Rtee!- thy in each of the PaSt three years, 1859-61, has been less then the lower of the two rates that have just been mentioned. In 1860 the rate was 2.26 ; in 1861 it was 2.32. If the mortality of London were confined permanently within the limit repre sented by the mean rate of the last three years, the effect of that reduction in the population as it exists at present would be that more than 4,000 persons would survive annually, whose lives would drop under the mean rate derived from the 20 years 1840-59. And if measures that have been already adopted are not relaxed, the amount of benefit will be increased, as the population that is the subject of it is increased. But a higher standard of health than any which the present tables show is possible, and, it may be hoped, will be attained. 65,001 deaths were registered in London in 1861. In the March, June, September, and December quarters those thousands occurred in several proportions,whichwere nearly as follows-19, 15, 15, and 16. The mean temperature of the air (49 deg. 4 min.) was higher than that of the preceding year (47 deg.), and the mortality was also higher by about 3,000 deaths. The two years were distinguished nosologically by a greater amount of fever in 1861, especially towards the end of it, by the much greater prevalence of diarrhoea and a general increase of disorders of the digestive organs. But last year the mortality from bronchitis and pneumonia was less. There were 215 deaths from smallpox, a mortality which is less than that of the same disease in any of the last thirteen years except 1857. In 1852 and 1859 the annual deaths from it were more than 1,100. Spitalfields, Mile-end, Clapham, Deptford, and Poplar are localities where its presence was most felt. Thirty-four deaths occurred in the Smallpox Hospital, Islington. Scarlatina was fatal in 2,358 cases ; diphtheria in 697. Both diseases increased towards the end of the year. Croup and whooping cough were very fatal ; but the former, like scarla tina and diphtheria, increased towards the end of the year ; the latter diminished. Quinsy also rose, and with other throat complaints was most fatal in the December quarter. Scarlatina appears to have visited all quarters of the metropolis, and with con siderable impartiality. Somers-town suffered much, also the Waterloo-road neighbourhood. There were 23 deaths from it in Plumstead. •Camden town, West Hackney, and Rotherhithe are dis tricts of nearly equal population ; scarlatina was the cause of 43 deaths in the first, 18 in thesecond, only 4 in the third. In St. George, Bloonis bury, it caused 37 deaths • in Fulham, which is nearly equal to it, 32; in Hampstead, with a larger population, only 4. In St. George-the-Martyr, Holborn, besides 36 from scarlatina, there were 23 from diphtheria. There were 1,754 deaths from typhus. It did not appear in unusual force till the latter part of the year, and therefore the total mor tality was not great. Indeed it was much less than that of many previous years. The districts of West London, North Poplar, and Greenwich may be mentioned among those which suffered most from typhus. The London Fever Hospital recorded 118 deaths, whilst the total number from scarlatina and typhus in, the west sub-district of Islington, includ ing those in the hospital, was 152. The most fatal zymotic disease in the year was whooping-cough (3,497) (next to it scarlatina with diphtheria; then diarrhoea (2,625). In respect to the last complaint the summer quarter was as usual the season of its activity. It may be added that near l y 1 ou t of 1,000 persons living died of diarrhoea in St. Mary Paddington, Kensington Town, Hoxton, Stepney, Mile-end Old-town, Poplar, Newington, Bother hithe, and Plumstead. In many parts the ratio was higher. There were 2,247 deaths by violence in,. the year. This class of cases bears a rather larger' proportion to the mortality from all causes than it did 10 years ago. By comparing the three years, 1850-2, with the last three, 1859-61, it appears that while the total deaths increased in the proportion of 16 and 19, those by accident, suicide, and horno tide increased in that of 16 and 21. The number last year who received fatal fractures and contusions was 71 9 . Falls from scaffolds, and street accidents make their annual contributions to the list. When building operations are extended in all directions, and the stream of men and horses from the widening area pours through old channels into the centres of traffic, casualties of this description must increase faster than the population. The railway system extended, and reaching to the heart of the metro polis, w ill c ounteract this te n d ency.

The numb er o f deaths in 116 - institutions was 10 , 276 or near l y a sixth public part of the whole. Of that number more than a half occurred in workhouses. Of 100 persons who shared the common fate of humanity, nine died in estab lishments provided by parochial rates; six in hospi tals for the treatment of sick persons. In the work house of the most populous parish, namely Pancras, there were 487 deaths ; in that of Marylebone, the third parish in respect of population, there were 450 ; while in the workhouse of Lambeth, which is a rather more populous district than Marylebone, there were only 299. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. GLOUCESTER. THE POLL. The poll took place yesterday. Mr. Henry Berkeley the member for Bristol, who, it will he remembered, moved for the writ, had issued an ad dress to the electors calling upon them to conduct the election upon purity principles, and telling them that it would probably depend on the mode in which they conducted the present election whether they would be continued as the constituency of a Parlia mentary borough. Whether this intimation had the desired effect or not, it is certain that there were less outward and visiblesigns of drunkenness appa rent, although the public houses appeared to be doing a very brisk business. There were some rows in the course of the day, and a few broken noses among the most ardent of the suppoiters of the three parties. A mob of disorderly persons assem l ble4 in front of the polling boothsstwhich were ali built together under the shadow of the Shire-hall instead of being distributed over the city), and here were several rows, and the adjacent shop-keepers closed their shutters, but nothing serious took place. The Liberal candidates took the lead on the poll early in the day, and at 12 o'clock the poll stood thus : Berkeley Powell 498 Potter Majority for Berkeley for Powell 54 The constituency is about 1,400, of whom at this time about 900 had polled, so that there was plenty of margin to turn the tables. Between 12 and two o'clock Mr. Powell had increased his majority over Mr. Potter to about 70, according to the statement of the Liberal party, though Mr. Potter's friends (who however did not issue any " state of the poll") made it much less. Between two and six o'clock, however, Mr. Potter repined some lost ground, and his friends were still sanguine of success " if they could only get the voters to the poll." Many, how ever, imbued with the old leaven, hung back. At three o'clock the poll stood thus : Berkeley P0we11.... Potter Mr. Potter still continued to creep up to Mr. Powell, sustaining the interest of the struggle to the last, though without changing the actual result, the poll standing at the close thus : Berkeley Powell .... 713 Potter Thus giving Mr. Powell a majority over Mr. Potter of 29. WAKEFIELD. THE NOMINATION. After a disfranchisement of two years the con stituency of Wakefield yesterday resumed the exer cise of their electoral functions. The nomination of candidates took place in front of the Corn-ex change, the proceedings being opened by Mr. W. Shaw, the mayor and returning-officer, and a bar rister, as early as nine o'clock in the morning. There were then at least 4,000 persons present, and their conduct was in no degree more turbulent than is customary at most elections. The partisans of the two candidates were only vehement to an extent which is considered conventionally and from. the whole -aspect and bearing of tto assem bin it- to be inferred that the people rif Wake field, having rn uacauf solved no more to be betrayed into any risk of for feiting one of their greatest privileges. :it is said, however, that there are upwards of a hundred voters who decline tb declare their intentions with reference to the present election; they have re sisted all solicitations to promise their votes, and their conduct can only be explained by the suppo sition that they hope to hear of something to their advantage on the afternoon of the polling day, when the friends of the candidate then in minority may be induced to make some sacrifices in order to gain support at whatever cost. After the usual preliminaries Mr. I. BARFF pro posed, and Mr. T. M. CARTER seconded, Sir J. C. Dalrymple Hay as the Conservative candidate. Mr. R. X. MACKIE proposed and Mr. SIMPSON seconded the candidature of Mr. Richard Smethurst, of Chorley, Lancashire, the Liberal. After the address of Mr. Simpson some filth and light missiles were thrown from among the crowd within the area partitioned off for the Conservatives on that portion of the hustings occupied by Mr. Smethurst and his friends. The concourse of per sons below in the Liberal interest made a retalia tory and drove the Conservatives a considerable distance from their original position. Peace and good humour were, however, soon restored, and Sir J. D. HAY came forward to address the elec tors. He declared himself a friend of the present Administration, so far as its foreign policy was con cerned. He perfectly approved the course taken by the Government in American affairs, and depre cated any attempt to break the blockade. He entered at some length into the American question, and the war now going on in the United States, and expressed his belief that the war had not risen from slavery, but from the commercial legislation of the North, who were endeavouring to retain within themselves the raw materials which they obtained from the South, and to keep their own looms active rather than to admit English manufactures. They were suffering in America from all the evils usually attendant upon war, and at this moment they were beginning to incur an enormous debt which would hang round their necks till it sunk them into perdition. (Cheers and dis approbation.) The true cause of the difference was the difference of tastes which prevailed between North and South, and a principal difference was the fact that law was subverted and not respected in the United States. He spoke in high terms of the loyalty displayed by the Canadians, and then eulo gised the conduct of the Emperor Napoleon, whose prompt recognition of the infraction of interna tional law by the Americans merited our warmest thanks, and no doubt influenced the successful con clusion of the negotiations. (Cheers.) With regard i to home matters, he said he did not object to a prudent reform, but he wished in these matters to be guided by constitutional principles. As to the Educational Code, he thought some security should be taken for the proper application of the money; but, at the same time, he would not deprive those who have bound themselves to the cause of educa tion of their just rights. He wished to see educa tion extended, so that the franchise might be safely given to the people. (Cheers.) He believed that reform in the administrative departments was essen tial, and thereby greater economy would be secured In conclusion, he said he felt himself qualified to represent the borough, and represent it well; and he believed they would place him at the head of the poll. (Cheers.) Mr. SMETIIURST next addressed the assembly, recapitulating those opinions which to a consider able extent were similar to those contained in his printed and oral addresses. He was a supporter of those great principles which had placed England in the proud position she occupied, and a friend of the men who had introduced those measures. (Cheers.) Ho would vote for such a measure of reform as that once introduced by Earl Russell, and he considered it his duty to say that h e was un equivocally in favour of the ballet for the p rotec- . tion of the voter. As a member of the Church of England ho believed she had we alth enou g h to PRICE...,. -...4d. STAMPED ....sd. support herself, and he was therefore entirely opposed to church rates. (Cheers.) He had, he said, promises of a large majority of the electors,- and he believed he would be returned triumphantly. (Cheers.: After some few questions had been put to both cindida.tes, the MAYOR took the show of hands. He declared that there was a majority in favour of Mr. Smethurst. A poll was then demanded on behalf of Sir I. I). Hay, which was fixed to commence at eight o'clock tho following morning, After a vote of thanks to the Mayor, the large crowd dispersed quietly. • London : H.

The Simoom, screw troopship, arrived at:Ports mouth on Tuesday, from China, is ordered to clear out with all despatch, and pay off into the steam reserve at the port. The Simoom has been upwards of five years in commission. Commander J. Cooke, who commissioned her, recently died in command cf her on the China station. He was an .officer much and deservedly respected in the profession. The troops disembarked from the Sinaoona at the dockyard yesterday morning. The 60th (Royal Rifles) Regiment, 2d battalion, under Lieut.-Col. nuter, marched into quarters in the Cambridge Barracks, and will remain in Portsmouth garrison for the present. This regiment embarked for foreign service at Cork in 'July, 1851, proceeding to the Cape of Good Hope, where it was actively employed in the Caffre war of that period. In March, 1858, the headquarters and right wing proceeded to Ben gal, and took part in the suppression of the Indian mutiny, the left wing following them six months later. In lan., 1860, the regiment was ordered to - . China, and on arriving there formed a part of Sir J. Michell's division of the expeditionary force, and was present in all the chief operations of the war, including the capture of Pekin and the destruction of the celebrated Summer Palace, Yuen-Min-Yuen, where the non-commissioned officers and aum are said to have secured a large quantity of " loot." Of the 650 men who left England in 1851, only 99 have re turned with the regiment. Capt. Montgomery, Lieuts. Gosling and Morris, Assist.-Sorg. Doran, and 168 men landed from the Simoom at Hongkong, on arrival there from the Peiho, as it was found she would be over-crowded for the long homeward voyage. They are expected to embark for England in the sailing transport Albuera. The screw steamship Revenge, 89, Capt. Charles Fellowes, flag of Rear-Admiral Robert Smart, from Queenstown ; the Trafalgar, 86, Capt. John B. Dickson ; and the Emerald, 51, Capt. Arthur Cum ming, from Portsmouth, are expected at Plymouth. The paddlewheel steam frigate Magicienne, 16, at Devonport, is fast advancing for the first division of the steam reserve.

With regard to the third charge the Court fcund it partly proved, in asmuch that Arabs were landed contrary to the special request of Lieut.-Col. Rigby that they should not be so landed, - it being established at the same time that they had not been landed in sufficient numbers to create danger. With regard to the fourth charge, that of visiting the Sultan of Zanzibar, the Court found that Capt. Crawford visited the Sultan, but that he considered that he did so in a private character. On the fifth charge the Court found that Capt. Crawford had received presents from the Sul tan, contrary to the Queen's regulations, but that the presents so received were of no considerable value. The Court therefore adjudged the prisoner to be reprimanded and admonished to be more dis creet in future. The following appointments and promotions were made yesterday at the Admiralty --Lieut. E. St. J. Garforth, to the Emerald ; William Edwards, acting second class assist.-engineer, to the Indus, as supernumerary. The under-named second class assist-engineers have been promoted to the first class :—R. Dithburn and John G.

This regiment is spoken of as being one of the finest that has been stationed in Portsmouth garrison for a considerable period, Yesterday Major-Gen. A. B. Stransham, the newly appointed Inspector-General of the Royal Marines, commenced his first inspection of the divi sion at head quarters, Chatham. The entire bat talion, consisting of eight companies, which together with undisciplined men and recruits numbered about 1300 men of all ranks, was formed in the bar rack-square at 9 o'clock yesterday morning, the men being in heavy marching order. At 10 o'clock Major-General Stransham, attended by Capt. J. C. Travers, his aide-de-camp, rode up to the barrack - gate, at the entrance to which he was received by Col. E. Rea, commandant ; Col. T. C. C. Moore second commandant, and the entire Staff of the division. The division, which completely filled the restricted parade-ground, was formed in line, with the Queen's and divisional colours in the centre, the inspecting General being received with the ac customed honours. Major-Gen. Stransham then p r oceeded to inspect the men com posing the com panies, in which he wa s occupied some time, and afterwards examined each man's kit and accoutre ments. At the termination of this portion of the inspection, which lasted until noon, Major-General Stransham inspected the several departments of the barracks. In the afernoon 50 men were selected indiscriminately from the battalion and snatched to the gun-shed, for the purpose of being inspected in the gun-drill, under the direction of Captain D. Blytb, the inspector in gunnery. The battery at which the men are instructed in this part of their duties is formed to represent the broadside of a li ne -of-battle ship, and is fitted with 100- pounder and 40-pounder Armstrong guns, and the ordinary 68 pounders. Although several of the men selected had only been under instruction in gunnery for a very short time, the manner in which they acquitted themselves in handling, point ing, and firing both descriptions of ordnance was highly satisfactory. Major Gen. Stransham was entertained at dinner last night by the officers of the division, in their mess-room. The inspection of the division will be resumed to-day. A fire broke out yesterday on the glacis of the NEWSPAPER •'• e\ work surrounding the poWer magazine , c tel Hard, near Govort, which at first_ er. F.-: greatest alarm. Boats were despatched f."qtriklthfa s 'dockyard at Portsmouth, but the fire was subdued by the officers and men belonging to the establish ment before the' boats arrived. The wind, strong at the time, fortunately blew the fire from the direction of the magazines, and enabled the men to , take energetic measures to beat out the fire,wif bout any of the sparks and pieces 9f burning furze being blown into the interior of the establishment, where large quantities of powder are stored. The autho • rities have recommended that the whole of the furze in the vicinity of the building should be cut down and removed. NEW TVESTMITBT.EI2 It is some comfort in the midst of the delays and mistakes that have been made with regard to the Kensington-road, to find that we are lil:ely to have at least one improved thoroughfare in London 'open in time for the Exhibition. Mr. Page is confident that • ' he will have the whole roadway of the new bridge et stininsier finished in May next, and, eccordinr, as he succeeds or faUs in his ends:arc:lira to this end, he may look for praise or censure from the public. The long work of constructing this very handsome bridge, without for a day interrupting the carriage or passenger traffic, has been one of no ordinary difficulty, and to this is due much of the delay that c has arisen in its progrea-towards completion. Old - Westminster-bridge, ruinous and unsafe, had to be cut almost in two to allow of the erection of the.first portion of the structure, and then its crumbling foundations had to be gathered from the bed of the river before the other half could'be proceeded : with., 'ben we,se ,hp7:-. fo; ;tiak'Wnoi - r tip inias Pipe hap-''• Tonle to be, out .of order or a 31'I Sewer wants eLly - bricks inii^s erolki;lr IS - tc contrast „creditable to Mr. Page that he has been abl?, to build his bridge .; across the Thames without a single stoppage of traffic of any kind. The last vestiges of the old - structure have new been dredged outoand all the arches of the remaining half, save the fifth and , sixth, are completed. The two latter will have their crowns of wrought-iron girders bolted_in next week, and as fast as each is placed the buckle plates for the roadway will go down. Over these plates comes a packing of blocks of pine wood and and over all the stone pitching pavement of fniroad;. Up to the present the eastern half has been entirely disconnected from that which is finished. It is new being joined by a number of short cross girders or stay pieces of _cast-iron, and over these, as soon as the timber scaffolding is removed, the plates and roadway will be laid so as to form one com- Plete structure of the two halves. When the two are connected into one rigid mass the vibration now ex perienced on the western and smaller half will en tirely disappear. Before the bridge can be opened, however, the half that is now finished and closed must be entirely complete. A very broad . foot, pavement will be laid down with small handsome , 'terra cotta tiles, crossbarred in contrary directions, 'to give firm foothold, and these are to be edged in With a kerb of red granite. These terra cotta tiles are tinning much into use, as experience shows them to be better, drier, more easily repaired, and more durable for passenger traffic than granite itself. After long consideration and discussion it has been decided to p l ac e the tramways for heavy traffic to and fro,lolie centre of the bridge, leaving two r oowaYS of 20ft. wide on each.side for the lighter vehicles. The side next the, Houses of Parliament is completely finished, except some ornamental shields that can be 'bolted into the Gothic quatre foil sprandrils of the arches at any moment. From this point therefore the effect of the whole struc ture can well be judged, and it appears to be both. graceful and massive, and the perforated trefoil balustrade between the granite piers has especially a light and pleasing look, and serves as a cornice to the whole. The conventional street lamppost will not intrude upon this ThorOnghfare, as hand some lamps and posts of asst iron have been specially designed to be in keeping with the main architectural features of the rest of the work, and. all the iron portions are to be painted of a pale neutral tint, excepting only the ornamental shields eta ha pn7:eiS ich.lo44l.4e,enzlzhzoyed --- vilt the Aiitis of *gland And Veit opened for traffic; not he inO.a,t reniotapproacb. towards a sinking 0t the,fier,l has taken.place, which is somethid- to ay :whet "e:fttilltikik -- care with which London-bridge was bnilt ifiunk more than an inch on the eastern side before it had been open a month. When the entire bridge is finished there will be two footways of 15 feet wide each, two tramways in the centre of 7 feet 6 inches wide, and two roadways for the light traffic of 20 feet each; The extreme width of London-bridge is only 56 feet from parapet to parapet, or exactly the space of the roadway of the new bridge exclusive of footpaths. To enable the bridge to advance as far as it has done, nearly 2,000,000 cubic feet of masonry and brickwork have been removed from above and below the river. When all is complete, the bed of the river itself is to be dredged out of rubbish, &c., some 10 or 12 feet below its present level beneath. the new arches. At present, the waterway under the new bridge is the same as that under the old — namely, 750 feet. But of this space nearly 150 feet are occupied by the scaffolding, &c., connected with the new structure, In a month or two more these will all be removed, and for the first time within the last. 20 years the tide will flow unimpeded up and down the Thames. The result of this will be of course that the tide above Westminster -bridge will rise slightly higher than it has hitherto done, while the scour down the river will be largely increased. The knowledge of this fact ought to hasten the Com mittee of the Bridge-house Estates to an immediate decision with reference to Blackfriars-bridge. An in creased scour is almost certain to lead to an increased settlement in the most defective arches of that most defective structure, and to an increased settlement they cannot be exposed without the greatest risk of their coming down in a mass, when in all human probability most of the arches in the centre of the stream would be certain to follow. As a stimulus towards arriving at a decision, Mr. Page cannot do better than get his bridge finished at once, and then leave the public to judge of the soundness of his opinions as to what a bridge should be. For the sake of the public, and their convenience, we cer tainly hope that this opportunity will on no account "- deferred beyond next May.—Times.

But this is not the whole of the taxation on stimulants ; the exciseman in 1861 taxed 19,698,722 gallons of homemade' spirits retained for home consumption (a falling off, how ever, of 1,705,296 gallons from 1860, and of 4,179,869 fronx 1859) ; to which may be added 46,650,100 taxable bushels of malt (4,896,050 mere than in 1860, but 1,096,189' fewer than in 1859, and lastly 23,430,1701 b. of hops— crop so variable that this quantity is more than double that of 1860, but really not very greatly more than a third of that of 1859.
