PRESENCE OF MIND.—Some few months since
noticed that the wife of a pensioner named Chadwi
residing at Matlock Bath, had been the means of see'
the life of a woman, who, through distress of mind, 1
attempted suicide by hanging; and it is a singular f
that the same aged individual last week was provid
tially the means of preserving from death the infant
the woman who had made the rash attempt alluded
The child, who was just old enough to run about,
strayed into a neighbour's cottage, and there, UOI
ceived, fallen head foremost into a deep narrow eart
vessel, locally called a " closhen," which was half
of water. It was luckily discovered by old Rh A,
the point of suffocation, and rescued from its peril
position, to all appearance inanimate, when Rhoda, i%
her usual promptitude and presence of mind, insteae
raising an alarm or running about to seek remedies,
stantly applied such restorative means as common se
and her own experience dictated, and restored the inl
to consciousness before the mother was even made
quainted with the accident. Rhoda Chadwick, who,
a soldier's wife, was for many years exposed to
vicissitudes, hardships, and dangers of the camp,
march, and the battle-field, attained her 80th year
Saturday, and during a residence of thirty years
Matlock Bath, has been a most useful woman among
middle and poorer classes' in cases of sickness or a'
dent. We bear it is intended by Rhoda's neighbc
to present her with some slight testimonial for havi
in the evening of her life, promptly saved from destr
tion two of her fellow-creatures.--Derbyshire Courier
THE BOILER EXPLoSION NEAR ROCIIDALE.—rI
inquest on the people destroyed by the explosion
concluded on Thursday. The jury brought in a eer
that " John Leach came by his death accidentally, f'
the explosion of the steam-boiler, caused by an tin
pressure of steam; that the safety-valve was defec
in construction and neglected in condition; and tha'
appeared the mercurial steam-gauge was plugged
an iron plug, and, consequently, useless. The .1
also expressed their opinion that Richard Booth, •
engine-tender, was incompetent for his situation,
that great blame was attached to those who envie:
such incompetent persons. Similar verdicts were
turned in all the other cases.

THE SPORTSMAN'S THREE WISHES
The sportsman has wishes—we name them—they're three,
With the truth of this version you all will agree:
Now geptember's set in, most nobly we'll strive,
To keep the old custom of shooting alive.
The game is abundant, the weather is clear,
Bright Phoebus commands all her guests to appear ;
But sportsman, before you depart for the fun,
Obtain your three wishes—your Coat, Dog, and Gas,
The first in the field L. HYAM now stands,
Fir his " Paletot Shooting-coat," known in all la;ds ;
Enveloped in these, it soon will be found,
That the wind and the rain fall powerless around.
For warmth, style, and freedom, none such can be got,
Just wear one—you soot wit be reckoned a " shot."
Then sportsmen of England, appreciate well,
One who pleases so much, and who strives to excel
For that is the cause why the journals express
Such very great faith in his prime shooting dress.
Fulfil then your wishes—your pleasures complete,
By a call at the Mart, 36, Graceckurch-street.

In equipping yourself in a " good shooting Dress."

BRITISH POSSESSIONS IN
EUROPE, AFRICA, ASIA, AND AUSTRALIA
CONNECTED WITH ENGLAND BY THE
INDIA AND AUSTRALIA MAIL STEAM-
PACKET COMPANY. Prepared at the request of
the Committee by the Author of the " History of the
British Colonies."
This brochure, whieh has been most carefully com-
piled by Mr. Montgomery Martin, and which is de-
dicated to the Earl of Clarendon, gives a succinct
account of the different colonial dependencies of the
British Empire, between which and the mother
country the Indian and Australian Mail Steam-
packet Company will open more frequent communi-
cations. The royal charter incorporated the company
for the conveyance of mails, transport of troops, pas-
sengers, specie, goods, and merchandise to
and from Great Britain the East Indies, Austra-
lasia, and New Zealand, and to other intermediate
ports or places." The powers of the company, there-
fore, extend across the glebe from north-west to
south-east, over 180 degrees of longitude and 100
degrees of latitude, on a line 13,000 miles in length.
Their object is to establish a weekly postal commu-
nication with India, taking en route Gibraltar, Malta,
the lonian Isles, Alexandria, Suez, Aden (from whence
a steam communication will probably be opened
with the islands of Seychelles and the Mauritius),
and so on to Bombay,Madras, and Calcutta,
taking en
route between Bombay and Calcutta, the island of
Ceylon. From Ceylan the line goes through the
Straits of Malacca to Penang and Singapore, from
whence it goes to Batavia. From hence two lines of
communication are opened with Australia; the one
goes to Port Essington, of the north coast of New
Holland (from whence a steam communication
could be easily opened with New Guinea, an island
the colonization of which Mr. Montgomery Martin
strenuously advocates), and frcm thence to Moreton
Bay and Sydney ; another goes direct from Batavia
to the Swan River. From Sydney there is to be a
direct steam communication witt. New Zealand and
with Van Diemen's Land ; while from the latter
island there is to be a line to Port Philip, South
Australia, and West Australia, or Swan River, thus
establishing a complete and perfect steam communi-
cation between all the British Australian colonies, the
most important as well as the most interesting colo-
nies of the British empire. In speaking of these
magnificent possessions, Mr. Montgomery Martin
says—
" After an examination of nearly all the colonies
of England, that New South Wales is the proudest
monument of the Christian civilizatioe of our country.
Founded with the refuse of gaols and prisons, peopled
originally by the lowest class of emigrants, planted at
the Antipodes as if ashamed of the outcasts, and afraid
of their moral pestilence, yet has this extraordinary
colony become the centre of a new empire in the
southern hemisphere, from which all the blessings of
Britain will radiate to millions yet unborn; and future
ages will contemplate with admiration and reverence
the nation that gave the criminal time to repent before
he went to his final judgment; turned the erring sinner
from his way, and held forth the prospect to him of a
useful, nay, happy life; that with such means peopled
the desert, and raised a monument to the glory of God
by the dissemination of His word among the isles of the
south, and amidst myriads who shall yet revere his
name.
" South Australia, of which Adelaide is the capital,
is another illustration of the rapid progress of British
colonization in this part of the globe. In 1836 South
Australia was hunted over by a few migratory savages,
and depasturated by herds of kangaroos; notwithstand-
ing some early unfortunate proceedings, its improvement
has been little short of marvellous. The colony is
situated on the south coast of New Holland, between the
26th degree of south lat. and the sea-coast, and the
132 d and the 141st degrees of east long. This area ex-
tends over 300,000 square miles, i. e. nearly 200,000,000
acres of land—about double the size of Great Britain
and Ireland.

_ .... ___.
" The province is remarkable for its park-like scenery;
one-third is estimated as good open agricultural or pas:

vad-ilmtinsa_yet well adapted
Adelaide, Pera, and Gwalior plains, a plough might be
driven 12 or 14 miles without a single obstruction.
" The harbour of Port Adelaide is an inlet from the
sea; it is nearly eight miles in length, and will accom-
modate a large amount of shipping. Captain Stokes,
R.N., calls it a natural dock. Ships of 500 or 600 tons
can always pass the bar in safety.
" Two great inland seas indent the coast; Spencer's
Gulf on the west, and St. Vincent's on the east; each
being separated by a long and narrow neck of land
termed York's Peninsula. Kangaroo Island is situated
in front of St. Vincent's Gulf, and is a good barrier
against the force of the Southern Ocean, and contains
several safe and commodious harbours. The mariner,
with ordinary precaution, has no difficulty even at night
in sailing through the other gulf, or Investigator's
Strait, as they are quite free from hidden dangers.
"In the absence of navigable rivers (except the
Murray) abundance of water is found for man and beast.
" For five months in the year the creeks and rivers
are running with good water, and during the drought
their natural reservoirs are full ; besides, water can
always be procured at a depth of 20 feet.
" Situated on the south coast of New Holland, it has
the benefit of the whole indraught of the south-west
winds which prevail for four months of the year. The
colonial surgeon, after some years' experience, says,
'we are without any endemic disease. We have no
marsh miasma, and consequently escape those dreadful
remittent anWetermittent fevers so prevalent in India
and China. have all the meats, fruits, and vege-
tables to be found at home; and if our days are warm
our nights are cold and bracing.' The average of the
mortality for five years is less than one per cent.; in
England, it is 2'13.
" From the calculations of Mr. Dutton, the coldest
day was in June, 1844, when the thermometer was 47
deg., and the warmest day in January, 1845—at noon it
stood 106 deg. The average of the annual quantity of
rain which fell in South Australia is 19'902. The
longest day, in December, is 14 hours; shortest, in June,
10 hours.
" It is surprising how long this fine region was ne-
glected. In 1836 its woods resounded to the war-cry of
the naked savage. In 1839, there were introduced from
New South Wales, 4,200 horned cattle ; 130 horses ;
35,000 sheep ; and the first three months of 1840, 7,000
horned cattle ; 100 horses, and 25,000 sheep, the total
being valued at 230,8001. in fifteen months.
"The subsequent increase of stock is enormous.

" Pigs, horses, and goats, which had increased 30 per
cent., are omitted. In 1845, there were 480,669 sheep,
26,146 horned cattle, and 1,044 horses assesed as stock
in South Australia.
"The agricultural resources of the colony are quite
equal to the pastoral.
" The official return of acres in cultivation under
wheat, barley, oats, maize, and potatoes, was in 1840,
2,503 ; 1841, 6,722 ; 1842, 19,790 ; 1843, 28,690; 1844,
26,918 ; 1845, upwards of 30,000 acres.
" The produce is exported to Sydney, New Zealand,
Van Diemen's Land, Swan River, Mauritius, Singapore,
Cape of Good Hope, and England.
" The South Australian, of the 13th of April last,
states, that 660 acres of land, situate at Lyndock
Valley, produced 28 bushes per acre. At Mount Barker,
some hundreds of acres produced 35 bushels per acre.
Sweet pea yields 40 tons per acre, arrow-root, 4 tons,
and maize ranges from 70 to 100 bushels.' South Aus-
tralian wheat sold in England for 965. per quarter, when
English wheat was selling for 60s. In November, 1845,
there were sold in England 450 quarters of South Aus-
tralian wheat at 765., when English wheat was 60s. ;
these 450 quarters were freighted at 641bs. weight per
bushel.
"The mining resources are also very great. The
South Australian Mining Association during the first
six months raised 2,707 tons of ore, and a great increase
was looked for. A conical hill, 40 miles north of
Spencer's Gulf, is. said to be literally a mass of copper
ore, which it would require ages to work.
" The share list of the mining companies in the colony
in 1846, shows the estimation entertained of their pros
pects

"By accounts to May, 1847, the •
mining operations
were being prosecuted with great success ; the dividend
on the Burrs Burrs Mine, on the ore sold was said to be
equal to 280 per cent. he mineral

is probably very great. Sir Thomas ,in
recent expedition to the north-east, found a region like
the TJralian Mountains, abounding in gold. The spe-
cimens I have seen of the gold are very rich. It is in
large grains or irregular veins, loosely imbedded in white
quartz. Lead is also found.

" The population in the colony in 1847, is about
35,000, and there is a truly British and enterprising
spirit in the inhabitants, who, as well as their brethren
in New South Wales and Van Diemen's Land, deserve
a free representative constitution.
" Western Australia, or Swan River,' between the
parallels of 31 deg. and 35 deg. S., and that part of New
Holland westward of the 129 deg. of longitude, is 1,280
miles from N. to S., and 800 from E. to W., comprising
a great extent of country. The colony has made less
progress than the settlements on the east and south
coast. It was founded in 1829; in 1836 the population
was only 2,000; and in 1845 no more than 4,350. The
imports from Western Australia into the United King-
dom in 1844 were only 4,778/., and the British and
Irish produce consumed there the same year only
13,4771., yet Parliament has granted altogether
232,6621. to Western Australia. The best means of
improving this settlement is by establishing a good
inland communication with South Australia, thus de-
veloping the internal resources of the colony. Steam
communication with Mauritius is impracticable by reason
of the distance (3,400 miles), want of coaling stations,
violent adverse winds for a large part of the year, and
absence of traffic. The same remarks apply to com-
munication with India.

northern link between our possessions on the eastern
and western coasts of Australia, thus securing the N.
and N.W. coasts, and closing the ring-fence with which
we have girt the island of New Holland.
" The most striking feature of Northern Australia is
an excellent harbour, sufficient to hold the largest fleet;
since the establishment of the settlement, aid has been
rendered to vessels in distress, and the surviving crews
of shipwrecked vessels: good teak and oak for repairing
ships are found on the spot.
" Port Essington and the contiguous country was
first taken psssession of in 1824, by Sir G. Bremer, but
was not made a station of until 1838. The township
(Victoria) is situate 16 miles from the harbour; this
great distance was selected with a view of combining
the advantages of a good soil, fresh water, and an easy
approach for the ships in port. Shortly after the set-
tlement was formed, Lieut. Stewart, and a party ex-
plored the Coburgh Peninsula, on which Victoria is
situated. The second day they crossed several running
streams, with grassy patches, fine cedar trees, while
thick woods of mangroves appeared on all sides. On
the eastern side of the Peninsula, they found a rich and
beautiful ;country, which reminded them of the South
American forest rather than the Australian wood.
" Their observations extended over about 80 miles.
Lieut. Stewart says, there is abundance of fresh water
on the Peninsula; the south side is the best locality;
the trees are free from the white ant; and the cabbage
palm abounds.'
" Captain Grey says, ' the productions for the growth
of which the country and climate seem best adapted, are
cotton, sugar, indigo, and rice. The cotton-plant
•
" The Rev. Dr. Lang, whose exertions for toe men
of Australasia deserve the highest commendation, has
recently arrived in England to urge the formation of a
new settlement on the northeast coast of Australia for
the growth of cotton and other such tropical products.
" Captain Stokes, R.N., says of Port Essington, it
is in truth a magnificent harbour, and well worthy of
having on its shores the capital of North Australia,
destined to become a great commercial mart and naval
station.' Its great size and admirable position render
it a shelter for vessels in distress.
" Dr. Leichardt's expedition overland from Sydney to
Port Essington shows that there is excellent pasturage
and water for cattle the whole way. Cotton andi ndigo
have been found growing wild in the intermediate
country, and the report on the cotton is very good.
Chinese would make the best settlers on this part of
Australia.
" Port Essington possesses little influence at present,
but experience has shown what great emporiums have
grown up from small matters. Wherever a few English
merchants settle, if left free, they plant the germ of
future prosperity. There ought, however, to be a station
at Cape York, and one at Wellesley Islands, at the head
of the Gulf of Carpentaria.
" We now pass from Australia to Van Diemen's Land,
an island of the South Pacific, lying between 41 deg.
and 44 deg. south latitude, and 144 deg. and 148 deg.
east longitude. It is about 210 miles from north to
south, and 150 east to west, and contains 24,000 square
miles, or 15,000,000 acres—nearly as large as Ireland.
For a length of time it was erroneously conjectured to
form a portion of New Holland; Mr. Bass, a surgeon,
discovered the strait which separates the island from
the continent. Hobart Town, the capital of Van
Diemen's Land, is 800 miles distant from Sydney, and
is picturesquely situated on the river Derwent. The
physical features are very beautiful, and in some places
grand. The island reminded me of Great Britain more
than any other country I have visited. It is well
watered, and has several excellent harbours.
" The colony is more agricultural than pastoral. The
land is very productive, and although the progress of
the colony has not been so rapid as New South Wales,
it has been more steady. The island was colonized by
by a detachment from New South Wales in 1803. The
population in 1844 was 57,420 ; the exports in 1845,
242,5611., and the imports for the same year, 339,1191.
" Wheat, oats, barley, flour, potatoes, cattle, wool, and
oil, form its chief exports ; that of wool now amounts to
nearly 5,000,0001b5.
" Van Diemen's Land has a weekly communication

with Adelaide and New South Wales, and would be
much benefited by steam communication with India and
England.
" Late accounts state that the colonists had petitioned
for a free emigration to be provided out of the surplus
land fund. Wheat tillage last year exceeded 70,000
acres—produce 1,200,000 bushels, which was then fetch-
ing 4s. Gd. a bushel.

tain and Ireland, next clatui utteiitlon. th
islands, lying north and south, extending from
76 35 deg. to
47 deg. south lat., and between 164 dog. and 1 deg.
east long. The most northern island, Eainomawi, New
Ulster, is about 400 miles long from north to south, and
sto 30 miles broad. The middle island, New Munster,
separated by Cook's Straits from the northern island, is
abpout 500 miles long, varying in breadth from 50 to 120
miles.
" The most southern island, or Now Leinster, is not
much larger than the Isle of Wight.
" The North Cape (Otou) is situate in lat. 34 deg. 35 ;
sec. 30 min. south, long. 173 deg. 9 sec.
48 min. east
where the country terminates in barren hills of sand
and rock. This portion of the coast has a dreary fsspect,
but none of the shores of this country give any indica-
tion of the fertile interior. The east and west coasts
are divided from each other by mountainous ridges ; in
many places at the southward the altitude is such as to
be continually covered with snow.
"The greatest breadth is
at the East Ca
its enpe i 37

44 min. south, 178 deg. . west, wher
width is about 300 miles, but the average breadth is not
more than 100 miles across.
" The Bay of Islands, in latitude 35 deg. 10 min.
south, longitude 171 deg. 30 min. east, is capacious,
being nearly 12 miles in width ; it will accommodate
the largest ships. The anchorages vary in depth from
sto 25 fathoms. This has been a favourite resort fvr
the ships of all nations for many years.
"The North Island is so contracted a few miles from
the North Cape, and at the Thames. the centre of the
island on the east, and Kaipara and Manukou on the
opposite shores on the west, that canoes are drawn by
the natives across the narrow isthmus, which does not
exceed three miles. The east coast is the best locality;
the harbours indenting its shores are valuable, not being
obstructed by sand-banks. New Zealand, lying north
and south for about 900 miles, enjoys a great variety of
salubrious climate, is well adapted to European con-
stitutions, capable of supporting a large and civilised
community, and worthy of becoming the Britain of the
south.
" The New Zealand Company deserve great credit for
their colonization of the country. The far-seeing mind
and promptitude of E. S. llalswell, Esq., M.A. (who
patriotically made a philanthropic voyage to our pos-
sessions in the southern hemisphere, with the primary
object of ameliorating the condition of the aboriginal
natives, and also with a view of understanding
the
nature of penal discipline there, w Mr. Ha's e

viduals, caused the dispatch of the ship Tory' on a
preliminary expeditiun.to New Zealand, May, 1839, and
thus pre'venled. those noble islands becoming a French
colony. It is to be hoped that the differences between
her Majesty's Government and the New Zealand Com-
pany are now entirely at an end, and that the progress
or the colony will be as rapid as that of its sitter set-
tlements in Australia.

" Timber, flax, wool, provisions, oil, grain, copper,
&c., are the chief exports, and amounted in value last
year to about 56,0001. Coal quite equal to that ob-
tained at Newcastle (New South Wales) abounds at the
Nelson settlement, and has been burned on board her
Majesty's steamers. The European population is about
14,000, and the natives, a bold, hardy race, capable of
being trained to useful industry, and a totally different
race from the Australians, who melt like snow before a
summer sun, are estimated by Mr. Halswell at not more
than 107,000.
" Governor Grey has ably brought the war to a close,
and it is to be hoped every aid will be given to,the New
Zealand Company to carry out colonization on a large
scale with those fine islands in the Southern Pacific,
which are very near our antipodes. A Scotch colony is
being now planted in Otago, in connexion with the
Church of Scotland. This settlement, which comprises
400,000 acres, is situated on the middle island, and
where there are not more than 1,000 natives. This
system of colonizing, by providing religious instruction
on the outset, is a revival of the ancient system of colo-
nizing ; and Captain Cargill, the leader of the colonists,
will, it is to be hoped, have his noble efforts crowned
with success.

" Sir Robert Peel rightly said—' When I look to the
extent of New Zealand, the line of the coast, the quan-
tity of land, but, above all, its position, I think it
is destined to occupy a most important station in the
world. Its relation with this country is most important.'
" The passage from New Zealand to Sydney is about
a week; by means of the India and Australia Steam
Company,' Auckland, the seat of Government, would
have a regular post from London in less than 70 days.
Such a measure would rapidly raise the value of all
property in the colony, and give a greatly enhanced
importance to the lands of the New Zealand Company."

HEALTH AND MORTALITY RE-
TURNS FOR TIIE LAST QUARTER.
The Registrar-General's report on the health and
mortality in 117 districts of England for the quarter
ending, Sept. 30, 1847, has just been published.
"The quarterly returns are obtained from 117
districts, sub-divided into 582 sub-districts. Thirty-
six districts are in the metropolis, and the remaining
81 comprise, with some agricultural districts, the
principal towns and cities of England. The popu-
lation was 6,612,800 in 1841."
The deaths, registered in this quarter were 49,479 ;
a number less by one thousand nine hundred and
forty-eight than were registered in the corresponding
quarter of 1846; but 7,007 more than the corrected
average of the September quarters of 1838-46.
Upon the whole there is a slight improvement in the
health of the country.
The summer season of 1847 must, however, be
considered on the whole unhealthy, inasmuch as the
deaths have exceeded the average proportion by
7,007, the actual number of deaths having been
49,479, whereas the average number deduced from
the average of 1838-46, had the mortality been
uniform, and had the numbers increased at the rate of
1-75 per cent. annually, would have been only
42,472. As compared with the corresponding
quarter of last year, however, there is a decrease, the
number of deaths during the quarter ending Septem-
ber 30, 1846, having amounted to 51,427. It
appears from the tables of mortality here given of the
deaths in each quarter since 1838 that a small rise in
the mortality took place in the spring after the mild
winter of 1846, that a sudden advance occurred in
summer-that the mortality reached the maximum
(56,105) in the winter of 1847, and has since slowly
subsided.
, ,
deaths were registered in the September quarters of
1845, 1846, and 1847. The deaths in the summer
quarters of the three years from small-pox were
76, 51, and 320 ; measles, 688, 78, and 521 ; scarla-
tina, 194, 208, and 316 ; diarrhoea, 449, 1,549, and
1,196 ; cholera, 26, 197, and 98 ; dysentery, 43, 75,
and 143 ; remittent fever, 8, 12, 23 ; typhus, 273,
403, and 895 ; erysipelas, 56, 92, and 126 ; the
zymotic class of diseases generally, 2,409, 3,234, and
4,061. The deaths from diseases of the respiratory
organs were nearly stationary; 1,558, 1,784, and
1,581 persons died of consumption ; 1,111, 977, and
1,071 persons died of inflammatory and other diseases
of the lungs. Two, three, and sixteen deaths were
directly ascribed to various kinds of privation in the
three last September quarters. The increase in the
deaths by external violence, which were 342, 403,
and 425, may have arisen from erysipelas and other
affections supervening on accidents in an unusual
proportion.
In the first nine weeks of the quarter the mean
temperature of the atmosphere, and of the waters of
the Thames, was above 60 deg.; the mortality in
London from diarrhoea, dysentery, and cholera, rose
from 17 on the first to 188 on the seventh week of the
quarter, and gradually fell to 107 on the last week.
Typhus raged with unusual virulence. The weekly
deaths were never below 50, and in the third week of
September 111 persons died of this disease. The
weekly average was 30 for the same quarter of five
preceding years.
The epidemic of fever has been more fatal in Lan-
cashire than in London. In Manchester, Salford,
and Chorlton, 4,154 deaths were registered :from all
causes. Diarrhoea and fever were the prevalent dis-
eases. Typhus carries off men and women in the
prime of life. Diarrhoea destroys more children,
and becomes dangerous to adults in the form of
cholera.
Liverpool-created in haste by commerce ; by:men
too intent on immediate gain ; reared without any
very tender regard for flesh or blood; and flourishing
while her working population was rotting in cellars
-has been severely taught the lesson that a part of
the population, whether in cellars or on distant
shores, cannot suffer without involving the whole
community in calamity. In itself one of thef un-
healthiestr towns of the kingdom, Liverpool, has ae
year been the hospital and cemetery of Ireland.ll wTh

correctly than is done by the short notes of the re-
gintritrq the p.itenus spectacle _which this great town
presented ; with the floating lazarettos on the Mersey,
the workhouses crowded with destitute paupers, the
three large " sheds which will hold 300 persons,
nearly full of patients at the present time,'' and the
fever " getting tmore prevalent among the upper

classes."
The mortality remains high in Birmingham, Dud
ley, Wolverhampton, Shrewsbury, in many of the
towns of Lancashire, in Leeds, Hull, York, and Sun-
derland. The returns from the other towns of the
kingdom present nothing unusual, the mortality
being much the same as in previous years. This re-
fers to the relative mortality. The absolute mortality
is always higher by from 10 to 50 per cent. in towns
than in open country districts. This is illustrated by
a comparison of the deaths registered in London
during the last 13 weeks, and of the deaths which
would have happened if the rate of mortality had
been the same as in Dorsetshire, one of the agricul-
, tural counties, in which the wages are low, and in
which the condition of the labourer is far from what
it is desirable that it should be.
The total number of deaths registered in London
during the 13 weeks ending September 30, 1847, was
13,187 ; the number, had the mortality been at the
same rate as in Dorsetshire, would have been only
8,109, showing an excess of 5,078 deaths as against
London.
3,506 children under 15 years of age were de-
stroyed in London, in addition to 3,078 carried off by
causes which may be supposed to be the same as
those fatal in the country. The mortality is equal
at the age 15-35, when London receives healthy re-
cruits from the various counties. After the age of
35 the mortality is 45
per cent. higher in London
than in Dorsetshire. If the chance that a man above
35 will die in the country during the summer a
e
quar-
ter be represented by 2, the chance that he will
die
in London is nearly 3. It may be admitted that
part of the London population is poisoned by alcohol,
and that in their houses and persons they are dirtier
than the country people ; still the great excess of
mortality, and in part, perhaps, the intemperance and
impurity must be ascribed to the crowding, the want
of water, decaying animal and vegetable matters un-
removed, and the inefficiency of the sewers, which
neither carry off the solid, liquid, or gaseous matters
poured into or generated within them every day. If
