that ia the j edjment et the meeting, the general election of

necessity for the adoption by the legislature of the great fan-

form of the miscalled representative system, as the only

Tax FLooDs.—At Lincoln the flood has never
bees known to be so high as during the past week. On
Thursday morning the whole of the residents in Foundry-
open found there we. no egress from their homes, the lower
pan Wag under water to the depth of several niches. In
the Lock 'Tavern 'mid the 1 iwer part of the houses were
also under water, and from the Witham having risen six
inches, further injury was apprehended. For miles around
nothing but one sheet of water is to be 111110, and nearly a
total stop is put to general tillage, even upon higher ground.
In the fens the roads are impassable, and the dikes and
drains in many perm are tell. The land itself is so com-
pletely saturated with wet, and rotten, that In many of the
oldest drained districts the houses are continually miring
down, whilst in several others the sowing of wheat this sea-
son hes been abandoned altogether. The floods having set
la so early, the water will be no doubt high during the
semis( winter, and thus in several ways entail heavy losses
and expenses on the different occupiers.

STATE OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH DURING
THE LAST THREE MONTHS.
On Tuesday the Registrar-General ironed his official
return of the " state of the public health during the third
quarter of the year 1848. The quarterly returns arc ob•
Wised from 117 districts, subdivided into 583 sub-districts.
Thirty-six districts are in the metropolis, and the remaining
81 comprise, with some agricultural districts, the prin-
cipal towns and cities of England. The population was
6,612,968 in 1841."
The mortality in the quarter is below the average. Only
43,445 deaths were registered; which Is lees by 6,034 than
the 49,479 deaths registered in the corresponding quarter of
1847, and 7,980 less than 51,405—the number registered in
the September quarter of 1846. The mcrtality of the Gone.
try, it should be reoollected,was low in the three years 1843,
1844, 1846, and in the first quarter of 1846: a 'light increase
took place in the spring quarter of 1846; in the summer a
great mortality broke out, end continued through the
autumn, as well as the whole of the year 1847, until kfluensa
raged epidemically at the clots of the year 1847, and was
then and in the winter of 1848 fatal to tbousaada. A re.
imitable improvement was apparent in the spring of the
year 1848, and was atia more obvious in the Bummer quarter.
While the deaths in the summers of 1848 and 1847,were9,680
and 5,988 above, the deaths in the summer of 1843 ware 809
below, the corrected average. The facts are shown more
clearly in the tables appended to the report than they can be
described.
The improvement in the public health is cansiderabis in
all the divisions except London. The deaths is the districts
of Lancashire and Cheshire in the September quarters of
1848, 1847, 1848, were 15,221, 17,080, 11,720. In the sense
years the death' in the districts of Yorkshire were 6,708,
