QUARTERLY RETURN OF THE MARRIAGES,
BIRTHS, AND DEATHS, IN ENGLAND.

(Pob'Jahed by authority of the

This return comprises the births and deaths regis-
tered bp 2,189 resistran in all the districts of England during
the summer quarter ending S. pt. 30,1830,and the marriages in
more than 12,000 churches or chapels, 2,869 registered
pleats ni worship unconnected with the established ...harsh,
and 623 superintendent registrars' clams, in the quarter that
ended June 30. 1860. . . . .

The general result of the return is favourable in a high
degree: the marriages in the erring Varier are more nu-
merous than in any or rrsep3nding quarter of the last twelve
fears; so also are the births in the summer quarter; and
the deaths are 86,044, instead of 136,35 i, which they
were in the Toner ending Septemb.e, 1849, when
cholera ravaged the chief towns of the kingdom. The
decrease of deaths implies neoeuarily the decrease of
sickness and suffering; the increase of marriages and births
Indicates imprivement in the condition and prospects of the
great body of the people.

The marriages in ell B4landlnthe quarter ending June
30,1550, wen• 39018. Tha Lumbers in the spring quarter
reclined rapidly from 1846, to 1848, and rose still more ra•
pidly up to 1850; thus foll,wing and pourtraying the rate
of the country. L)11.1313, Cheshire, Lanculiire, the West
Riding of Y irkshirs, and South Wale., presented the great-
est fluctuations, and the greatest increase of marriage. in
the June quarter, 1850. TOG marria.tes increased in Mid-
dime:, Hertford, and Buckingham; in Essex and Sulicilk
the marriages declined, as they did also in Devon and Corn.

creased; they increased also in Leicestershire, Nottingham.
shire, and Der brshiro—tke natio( the thread, lace, and other
manufactures. In the great agricultural county of Lincoln
the 11..ei nation was in an opposite direction; the marriages
rose from June 1846 to June 1848, and then declined. In the
But and Nor• h Hidieg., Dorbsm, Not thumberland and Cum-
beiland, and West norelend, in Monmouthshire, and North
Wales, the marries's increased in 1850. The marriages in
Portsmouth and Plymouth declined; in Bristol and Chel-
tenham they itlereased ; in Stoke-upon-Trent (the potteries),
in C..ventrs, and in arminghana, Liverpool, end Manches-
ter, the harpies* was considerable. It wee still greater in
Leeds; Hali,sx and Sheffield shared ia the general advance.
Hull, Wolverhampton, and Saliabary—where cholera was
exceedingly fa:al no 1849 —have little more than the average
marriages.

146,970 births were reeistered in the quarter which
ended in September. Toe births are invaria►ly more
IfIUIIOfOUS in the first and *mond than in the third
sad fourth quarters of the year; and they are in the but
fewer by 8,757 than iu t►e previous Jane quarter ; the num-
ber and tee proportion to the population ere, however,
greetings Chit than in any of the corresponding quarters
sines 1839. The incases of births is greatest in London, in
the Wee: Ilidiant Counties, and in the North Wtskrn
Counties, Cheshire and Lancashire.

INCILIAIIII or POPULATION.

The men of bunny regie:ered over deaths in the
quarter wet 60,926; which, if all the births were regisr
tered, would be the nvtural increase of tie population.
In the $llOll time 63,703 emigrants salted from three ports
of England 1,394 from Plymouth, 7,694 from Loadon,
end 44,625 from Liverpool. Trig leaves a narrow mar-
gin for the increase of papule! too ; but many of the
emigrant. entered at the Enelish ports are from Inland,
which has been LT many ran diffusing a stream of natives
over England es well as well as, America. The progress of
the whole livid and moving population of the country can
only be determined accurately from a comparison of the re-
turned births and deaths, of emigrants and immigrants, with
periodical enumerations.

STATE or THIII PUBLIC HEALTH.

The morality Is mum below the average, and the public
health has never been an good • ince. 1845 an in the present
quarter. The rate of mortally is 1 901 per cent. per an-
num. At this rate one in 211 persons living died In three
months. The chanties of living through this quarter were
210 to 1 ; the average chancel of living through three
summer aottbs (183050), for persons of all ages, being
192 to 1. . .

•
The rate of Mortality in 506 districts. comprising chiefly
small towns and country parishes, was 1*693 per cent. per
annum in the quarter; the average summer rate (1840,50),
being 1.831 p. r cent.
The rata of mortality in 117 district., comprising the large
town,. wee 2106 err sent. per annum ; the average rate
(11140.50), being 2 517 par sent.
Toe junta position of the figures in the table suggests the
melancholy reams i in that more than seven millions of people
inhabiting the metropolis medial the cities and great centres
of industry, are still exposed to a mortality which is not in.
It .y.se is their seine, but is due to the arafleial circum-
stances in which they are placed. The water., the sewers,
the soils, the churchyards, the houses emit poisons. To
every 10 natural deaths. 4 violent deaths—deaths from these
poisonous exhalations--are superadded.
Still, otter the scarcity, after the great epidemics of
miss, and after the catastrophe of last year, the return even
to the wonted degree of health is a relief to the nation ; and
health above the average, not only in plasm 'coursed by cho-
lera, bat in nearly all the towns of the country, is cheering,
ea it seems to show at once that the imperfect unitary
mem progress ars already beneflzial, that the country
is recovering from its lost, and that the wants of the people
are new more abundantly supplied than they have been of
late years.

THE LivEKPOOLDOCK COMMITTEE AND THE WRECK
OE rats FILOVIDINOL—At the, usual meeting on Thursday,
Mr. T. Littleilale, chairman, the marine Bub-committee
reported the result of its ir.quiry Into the conduct of the
lite-boat crew in reweave to the wreck of the ship Pearl-
donee; namely, 1. As regards the crow, they did not give
op the attempt to reach the ship until they felt themselves
in great danger of being washed out of the boat, but not
from a feeling cf cowardice. 2. The tow-rope was let 'go
on board the steamer, and not cut. 3. As regards the beam,
the evidence gore to show that they are the most efficient for
the service. Some conversation ensued, the general Wa-
llasey of which was to cattail the life-boat crew, and to
sustain the build of I Ito life-boa's. Mr. Jones said the life-
boots were efficient for the reguirid purposes ; and as to the
propositi,n that they ought to be OD the self-baling princi-
ple, its adoption would be most mischievous and foolish.
The report was edowed.
CARRYING OFF CROPIL—On Monday nht last a
arty of miiniatit legislators attacked two bailiffs, who had
been placed on keeping over the crop of a farmer named
Bernard ninon, ten .nt to Lord Kilmaine, at Monkeland,
within one mile of Athlone. and • few perches of the resi-
dence of B. L whim, Esq., J.P. The bailiffs were beaten
and obliged, in defense at their lives, to take to fight, when
every vestige of the Grope was *arid away. Mr. Patrick Falb.,
agent to Lord Kilmaiee, made every poesible effort to trace
the es, but after showing a trail of about two miles all
er no was lost. Bernard Fallon owed two and a half
years' not, and some time tines was allowed the abatement
whisk his keetl•liip h,s lately made to the tenantry on that
property.—Weettneoth Independent.
