SOLOMON, 39, Albemarle street, Piccadilly. to Marriages, Births, and Deaths. The following is the quarterly return of the Registrar-General of Marriages, Births, and Deaths registered in the divisions, counties, and districts of England ; marriages in October, November, De cember, 1865 ; and births and deaths in January, February, and March, 1866 : The registers of the United Kingdom show that 142,304 persons married in the quarter that ended December last ; that the births of 265,663 children and the deaths of 185;138 persons of both - sexes were registered in the three months ending on March 31. The death rate of the United Kingdom differs little from that prevailing in England and Wales to be here discussed. The several facts concerning the other divisions of the kingdom are fully set forth in the reports .of the Registrar-General of Scotland and the Registrar-General of Ireland. The estimated population in 1866 of England, Scotland,and Ireland is about 30,005,519. The cor rected death-rate of the quarter is 2.596 per cent. ENGLAND. This return comprises the births and deaths re gistered by 2,200 registrars in all the districts of England during the winter quarter that ended on the 31st of March, 1866 ; and the marriages in 12,828 churches or chapels, about 5,352 registered places of worship unconnected with the Established Church, and 641 Superintendent Registrars' offices in the quarter that ended on the 31st of Dec., 1865. If a high marriage-rate is accepted as an indica tion of well-being and contentment in the great bulk of the people, the present return is highly satis factory j a ge g h e p 0 - a r lp a l u t o e lva m et ia ot s nh u , e n ac u so s u u sn a h l to l r y wy , . n p e Tb r y h h the factory ; for in thelast quarter of last year the mar rra t e l he growthe r e e g n i t s e t d e l r o y s aepautnbuPri has been active for a considerable time ; and it was well maintained in the first three months of the pre sent year. Against this latter fact must be set the high mortality which prevailed during the same period, partly in consequence of meteorological con ditions and changes unfavourable to health. MARRIAGES. In the quarter that ended December 31, 1865, there were 114,100 persons married in England. In London the weddings rose from 7,856 and 8,711 in the December quarter of the two previous years to 9,746 in that of last year. In Lancashire and Cheshire, ;which together contain a population not much exceeding the metropolitan, the marriages in the same periods were 7,685, 7,253, and 8,576. In the northern counties they were 2.917, 3,173 1 and 3,274. In Monmouthshire and Wales 3,3 2 9, 3 , 416 , and 3,538. In Yorkshire, 5,659, 6,027, and 6,291. Taking a few districts as examples, the mar riages in the three .December quarters of 1863, 1864, and 1865 were' in Kensington 505, 555, and 706. In Marylebone, 478, 524, and 601. In Pancras, 554, 643, and 668. In Islington, 353, 422, and 525. In Hackney, 258, 281, and 371. In Shoreditch, 560, 607, and 600. In Bethnal-green, 360, 420, and 520. In Lambeth, 624, 669, and 799. The returns show continued prosperity in the scats of the woollen trade. In Bradford the marriages in the same three corresponding quarters were 633, 635, and 676. In Leeds they were 525, 517, am:1604. The marriage-rate per annum in the December quarter of 1865 was 2.2148. This result represents the proportion of persons married to a hundred in the population. The average of 10 corresponding' quarters was F9Bl per cent. Weddings are always the most frequent in the Christmas quarter, and in that of 1864 the marriage-rate was 5.022 ; but within the range of the comparison —viz., the 10 years 1866-65, a rate as high as 2.1 per cent. is with out any example, with the single exception of that which is supplied by the present return. BIRTHS. Of children born in the March quarter of the pre sent year the number was 196,737, against the high number 194,289 in the corresponding period of 1865. The annual birth-rate for the same period was 3.776 per cent., the average being 3.644. The birth-rate is always higher in the first six months of the year than in the last ; but the tables for the last 10 years furnish no instance of a rate so high as that which prevailed last quarter. London yielded its fair contribution to the increase ; the 'births were under 30,000 in the metropolis, and slightly above that number in Cheshire ant Lancashire. In some counties, as Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Norfolk, and Leicestershire, there was a decrease, for which others, chiefly in the northern parts of the kingdom and in Wales, more than compensated by their in crease. The births were very numerous in Surrey, Devonshire, Lancashire, Durham, Northumberland, Cumberland, and Wales. INCREASE OF POPULATION. While the births were 196,737, the deaths were in the same time 138,233, and the excess of the former over the latter was 58,504. The natural increase was 650 daily, but this was disturbed by migratory tendencies, always in active operation. The total number of emigrants from ports in Eng land, Scotland, and Ireland was 3 9,672, of whom about 11,000 were of English origin. Irish emi gration from the same ports was nearly double that amount. Of the total number 33,000 emigrants had chosen the United States for their destination, 6,000 the Australian Colonies. Of the 21,000 Irish emigrants 19,000 went to the United States.* Emigration declined greatly in the first quarter of 1865 ; but it has again increased, and was as active as in the two previous years, 1863-64. PRICES, PAUPERISM, AND THE WEATHER. The price of wheat continues to rise, and in the first three months of this year it was 455. Gd. per qr., which is ss. more than it was in the same period of 1864, and 7s. more than in that of 1865. During the four quarterly periods that have elapsed since the 31st of March, 1865, it has been slowly but con stantly rising ; it was 40s. 6d., 435. 3d., 445. 10d., and 455. 6d. Beef at Leadenhall and Newgate markets, sold by the carcase, averaged 5 d. per lb., a price which differed but little from those of the March quarter in 1861 and 1865, which were Sid and 51d. The price for inferior quality of beef was in all these three periods the same—viz. 41d. for superior it was 61d. in 1864, 7d. in 1865, 61d. last quarter. The highest price of beef scarcely varied during the last 18 months. The mean price of mutton was 68-d., and was was rather higher than in the two previous corresponding quarters. Best potatoes at the Waterside -market, Southwark, ranged from 555. to 90s. per ton. The average number of paupers relieved on the last day of each week in the quarter was 139,546 in -door, 759,402 out-door. The amount of in 7 door relief was the same as in the March quarter of 1864, but rather less than that of 1865. The number of out-door paupers was less than it had been in either of those periods. the According to the Greenwich observations month of January was warmer than that month has * Return with which the Registrar-General has been favoured by the Emigration Commissioners. Of 39,672 emigrants the origin was undistinguished in 1,239 cases which have been distributed by calculation. , nucE.. 4d. STAMPED sd. been in any year since 1881. In ordinary course January is almost 3 deg. colder than December ; but last January was as warm as the remarkably warm mouth that closed the year 1865. At the be ginning of the month the weather was stormy, and the wind blew in gales ; and on the 11th there was seriously London oulys a fall of unusually h eav y snow , w hich e impeded traffic and broke down the tele graphic poles and wires. Soon the snow disappeared under a rapid thaw, which was followed by the in undation_ of all the low-lying lands in the valley of quent chan ges , the Thames.

The mean temperature of the air in the quarter was 41.2 deg., which is 1.7 deg. above the average of the same period in the previous 25 years. The fall of rain way, 9.3 in., which amount is 4.5 in. above the average. Less than 2in. of that quantity fell in March, the rest in nearly equal portions in the two previous months. The atmospheric pres sure was low throughout the quarter. AtAldershot on the 11th snow covered the ground to a depth of 9in., and about the middle of the month snowdrops, crocuses, and primroses were in flower. On the 4th February a hurricane of unprecedentedviolence blew at Belfast and for many miles around it, accompa nied with thunder and lightning, and with hail and rain which swept along in masses. " Large trees were torn up, chimneys thrown down, and slates whirled through the air like feathers." This storm visited Manchester and some other places in the North of England. DEATHS, AND THE STATE OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH. The weather in the quarter, as it was observed in the metropolis, has been described in its main points, and the description of it is for the most part appli cable to that which was experienced over the coun try. It was unfavourable to health ; and by exciting or aggravating pulmonary diseases carried off many persons of advanced age. The total number deaths in England and Wales was 138,233, which implies a rate of mortality above the average of ten previ ous winters, though not so high as it had been inthe winters of 1864 and 1865. In these two periods 142,977 and 140,646 deaths were registered. It deserves to be noticed that while the mortality in London and other eight divisions was lower last quarter than in the corresponding period of 1865, it was higher in the two remaining divisions, viz., the north-western (Cheshire, Lancashire, and York shire). It would appear that in thelarge andalways unhealthy manufacturing towns in these parts the people suffered more than they did in others from conditions and sudden changes of the atmosphere which were not confined to them ; and also, as shown in the Registrar's reports, that scarlatina, measles, hooping-cough, and other zymotic diseases prevailed there, and co-operated with the weather in producing a high mortality. The population of London is not very differcntin amount from that of Cheshire and Lancashire ; the births were as 28 in the former to 30 in the latter ; but the deaths were 20 to 26. The annual rate of mortality last quarter in Eng land was 2-653 per cent. ; the average of ten previ ous winters being 2-501. But it is a remarkable cir cumstance that this excess above the average was con tributed entirely by the large towns ; for in the country districts the death rate, 2.252, was actually lower than the average, 2-295. The annual rate of mortality in the 142 town districts was 2.967 against the average, 2-680. These results confirm the con clusion that there were other destructive causes at work besides unfavourable states of the weather— that the diseases above mentioned, which commit so much havoc in towns, were still more extensively fatal, and only acquired additionalvigour from influ ences peculiar to the season. The death-rate was higher in Cheshire and Lan cashire than in any other of the 11 divisions ; it was 3.384 per cent. In Yorkshire it was 2.960 ;in Lon don it was 2.666 ; in thewest midland counties 2.654; in the northern counties (Durham, Northumberland, &c.), 2.443. It was lowest in the south-eastern counties, where it was 2.185. If the map of England were shaded to represent the rates of mortality of last quarter in the registra tion districts, the eye, travelling from the lighter south to the darker north, would be instantly drawn to a spot of portentous darkness on the Mersey ; and the question would be asked whether cholera, the black death, or other plague, imported with bales of merchandise, had been lately introduced into its busy and populous seaport. Happily this has not been the case ; but fever, probably developed or aided by the mild and damp atmosphere of the season, and by overcrowding in an increasing population, has been busy and fatal in Liverpool, and in other towns of the same county, and of Yorkshire. The annual mor tality of the borough of Liverpool in the three months was excessive, and demands immediate and earnest consideration ; it arose to 4.593 per cent. This im plies thatif this death-rate were maintained for a year 46 persons out of 1,000 in the population would die in that time, or 15 more than died in Glasgow, its northern rival, 19 more than in London. The mor tality in the city of Manchester, though far less than that of Liverpool, was higher than in any other of the 13 selected towns of the United King dom; it was 3.742 per cent., and that of Leeds was hardly less. The following numbers of deaths registered in a few districts in three corresponding quarters, make the recent increase sufficiently ap parent : Ma 81122 r ,8,: c 302164 h 91353365. Qr.

" Count Karolyi communicated to me on the 28th inst. the reply, of which a copy is annexed, of his Government to the despatch which I addressed to your Excellency on the 21st inst. I cannot, I regret to say, conceal from your Excellency the fact that we had expected a manifestation of a different cha racter. As I then stated, by his Majesty's com mand, we had expected to receive more precise com munications as to the extent and the periods at which the reduction of the Austrian army would be carried out, in order that we might make corres ponding disarmaments with those of Austria ; and we did so on the assumption that the Imperial Cabinet, like ourselves, had in view a return to A complete state of peace. " The Imperial Cabinet seems to have satisfied itself that the apprehensions of offensive measures on the part of Prussia, which formed the motives of the Austrian armaments, were unfounded. We are therefore the more surprised when the Imperial Cabinet does not now think itself able to fulfil the proposals of disarmaments made upon the 18th inst., and readily accepted by his Majesty the King, but materially modifies those proposals in many respects. In his despatch of the 18th Count Mensdorff first held out the prospect that Austria would take the initiative in disarmament as she had done in arma ment. This concession seems to be called in ques tion again by the text of the despatch of the 26th, which demands simultaneous disarmament. Sub sequently we acceded to the proposal of the Im perial Government that, to use its own words, the Emperor would at once give orders ' to counter mand the movement required by, preparation for war against Prussia, and to stop the measure con nected therewith.' ~~~ the's'eAms o t v h e e n lmperial Government th t s e e l f f r a m d m n i f t ted a n approach ronti e rof Austria of bodies ov o f troops erh t e greater t o the p north-western artof the Empire, and we were, therefore, justified in assuming f according to the proposal of the Imperial Govern ment, that the intended restoration of the normal status quo ante would extend to the whole of those movements required by the war footing. Instead of this the latest de c l arat i on of the Imperial Govern ment limits the disarmament, of which it holds out a prospect, exclusively to the withdrawal of the troops sent to Bohemia to reinforce the garrisons there stationed, which, by the statement of the Im perial Government, amount to ten battalions of in fantry. As regards the remaining provinces, the despatch does not even mention Silesia, Moravia' and Western Galicia, which border Prussia, and i n which it is notorious that a large number of cavalry regiments summoned from remote parts of the country are stationed. While the Imperial Govern ment considers the measure affecting Bohemia alone to present a full equivalent for the return of Prussia to a peace footing, it further plainly expresses its intention to undertake in the remaining parts of the Empire such considerable movements of troops and calling out of furlough men' as may be requisite to place the Emperor's ' Italian army' upon a war footing. It has been ascertained from the most re liable quarters that purchases of horses are taking place for this latter purpose upon an extended scale throughout the Monarchy. The strength the Im perial Government may accordingly intend to give the army upon a war footing to be stationed in the other parts of the Monarchy, and also perhaps in the other provinces adjoining Prussia, except in Bohe mia, will, of course, depend solely upon the judg ment of the Imperial Government and upon the im portance it attaches to the danger of attack by which it believes itself threatened. The Austrian Government thus demands that Prussia shall countermand her, in themselves, mo dest defensive armaments which have remained unchanged since the 28th of March, while Austria certainly withdraws her reinforce ments of garrisons from Bohemia, but extends and hastens her armaments for the establishment of an army on a war footing. I cannot conceal from your Excellency that after the exchange of mutual de clarations upon the 18th and 21st, hailed by us and by Europe as a guarantee of peace, we were not prepared for this demand. In justification of the altered attitude it takes up in the despatch of the 26th the Imperial Government adduces the intel- ligence it has received from Italy. According to this the army of King Victor Emmanuel is said to have been placed upon a war footing to proceed to an attack upon Venetia. The information which has reached us direct -from Italy, and that we have received through the medium of other Courts, coin cide in stating that armaments 'of a threatening character against Austria have not taken place in Italy, and confirm us in the conviction that an un provoked attack upon the Empire is far distant from the intentions of the Cabinet of Florence. If in the meantime and recently military preparations may have commenced in Italy, these, as well as the measures adopted by us upon the 28th of March, may probably be regarded as the consequence of the armaments begun by Austria. We are persuaded that the Italian armaments would be as readily dis continued as our own, provided the causes through which they have been occasioned ceased. In the interest of the preservation of peace, and the cessation of the pressure which at present weighs upon the relations of politics and trade, we there fore again request the Imperial Government to ad here without wavering to the programme it laid down itself in its despatch of the 18th, and which his Majesty the King accepted without delay in the most conciliatory sense, and as a mark of his per sonal confidence in his Majesty the Emperor. In execution of the same we should expect—first, that all the troops sent to Bohemia, Moravia, Cracow, and Austrian Silesia since the middle of March should not only return to their former garrisons, but also that all bodies of troops stationed in those provinces should be replaced upon the former peace footing. We await a speedy authentic communi cation as to the execution of these measures—i.e., of the restoration of the status quo ante, as the term of of the 25th of April, fixed by the Imperial Govern ment itself, for the return to a peace footing of the troops assembled against our frontiers has long since expired. We hope that the Imperial Government will at once by further inquiry arrive at the convic tion that its intelligence as to the aggressive inten tions of Italy was unfounded, that it wi e ll e t e h f e o n o p ung pro ceed to the effective res toration of d . therebypa enable ', throughout the Imperial arm tion. So long as th is course —in our opinion the only correct and which we bad imagined al ready a ccepted by b o th parties—is not adopted, it i s i m p r acticable us o to y tstke the the as same r the King's Government to look . for future, in Which import ant and pregna nt n f orwa rd to nego ti a tions impend with th e Im perial one, step to his Majesty's satisfac- Gove rnmen t otherwise than with the esta blishment o f eq uilibrium, in the prepar a ti ons of both Powers for war. The King's Government cannot suc cessful result from negotiationsexpect carried on between one party armed, and the other in a state o f perfect disarmament. I n this sense it regrets exceedingly that the Im perial Government has not been willing to assent to our proposal to request the other Federal Govern ments to suspend their mil itary arrangements, the actual existence of 1 wh . lc I cannot be denied even by the respective Governments themselves. The King's Government, for its part, has not shrunk from ad dressing the necessary summons to the Saxon Go vernment, whose armaments arc furthest advanced ; but the success of this appeal, and therewith the in terests of peace, m i g ht be regarded as more certain if the Imp er i a l A us t r i an Government bad been able to resolve upon a similar proceeding.rd this despatch " I request your Excellency to to the Austrian Minister, and to ea l ea ve with him a 6 ' VON BISMARK." copy of the same.
