THE PUBLIC HEALTH.

(From the Repstrac-General'sQuarterly Return.)
General Register •office, Somerset-house, July 31.
I'hlB return COLOIN lot,o 1.1.3 and dotatamm Uy
2,201 registrars in all the districts of England during the
quarter that ended June 30, and the marriages in 12,630
churches or chapels, about 4,808 registered places of wor •
ship unconnected with the Established Church, and 640
superintendent registrars' offices in the quarter that ended
March 31.

In the last quarterly report it was stated that in the
period to which it referred the birthrate had been unusu-
ally well maintained. That rate was still higher last quarter,
and in all the quarters of the last ten years, 1853.62, only
two instances occurred in which it was as high ur higher.
This fact may be remarked in connexion with the generally
healthy state of the population during last year. The mar-
riages in the first quarter of the year were more numerous
than in the two corresponding quarters, a result which the
metropolis appears to have mainly helped to produce. But,
in taking a general survey of the returns, that which chiefly
claims notice is the fact that the mortality, which was high
in the first quarter of the year, continued high in the quar-
ter that ended June 30.
