Sir FnaIICIS 001.1nnID, Bart., reed a paper on the so-
nata atatistial of Prussia. It was a Memel of the informa-
Woe famished by the volume of official statistics published
by the Prussian government relating to births, marriages,
and deaths, showing the proportion of males and females in
the births, the number of illegitimate as compared with the
legitimate births, and the rate of mortality divided into male
end female deaths, sad at various ages. The general moults
deduced were, that male births were in the proportion of 106
or 106 to 100 to the females; that one in three of the
children born were illegitimate (the proportion in
this country being computed at 1 in 20) ; that is these illegi•
if mate births the excess of melee over females was reduced
by about 2 per cent.—and that theurunber ot births through-
out the whole kingdom wee, in the towns as 1 to 26.68
of the population, and in the country as 1 to 22 88
of the population—these proportions, however, varying
according to the social end other circumstances of the
locality. The great number of illegitimate births was
accounted for by the impediments which the Prussian
government throw in the way of muting., and by
the difficulty which the laws interposed spinet young men
establishing themselves in business in totem, and peasants
acquiring land in the country. The death-rate, se compared
wins the birth., was, in 1849, 498,862, as against 691,662 ;
and while the erase of male births wee 19,428, the excess of
male deaths was 13.826. It was found that boys and young
men died more quickly than females of the same age.
Between the ages of 25 and 30 the deaths were equal in both
sexes. Prom 30 to 40 the exam was on the female side ;
after that to 60 it wee on the male side again, so that amongst
very old messes it wee found that more females died than
mates. The rate of mortality es compared with the pope's-
Oen between 1818 end 1849 varied from one Le 28
to one fa 37, the higheet mortality having been
in 1831, the cholera year. It did not appear that
the rate of mortality was in say way determined by the
eroplorneut, whether manufactures or agriculture, for Simony
and the Rhenish provinose, when manufacture' were carried
on, were healthier than Prussia proper. Humboldt oonsi•
' dared that the different* of race had some Influence on lenge-
vity, it being undoubted that the rata of mortality was
higher among the Sclavordc than the purely German nom

conclusions in this matter, end believed it would be found
upon close investigation that drainage, ventilation, end water
supply had more to do with health and longevity than race.
