[The following appeared only in part of our impression
fi, eiterday] :

cholera and measles," says the registrar, "that have
proved fatal were in the town of Great Marlow. The
agricultural portion of my district is very healthy."
Twelve males died of cholera in the Wycombe union
as orkhotne. Cholera, diarrhoea, and small-pox raised
the mortality in Northampton. Cholera prevailed in
Titchmarsh, Tnrapston, and Peterborough. Cholera
broke out in Thdford, and in about 11,000 inhabi
tants 9 deaths were registered ia the last 9 days of
September, 26 deaths in October and November. The
board of guardians was liberal ; medic d relief was af-
forded in 829 diarrhce cases. And the registrar believes
al•hough they "were guided by higher and purer
motives than those of a sordid and calculating eco-
nomy, that the recent epidemic has cost them much
less than it would have done had they locked their
coffers against preventive measures, and confined
their attention exclusively to burying the dead, and
providing fur the dependent survivors." The effects
of crowding are shown in North Witchford ; in the
sub- district of Gaatteris the deaths in the quarters,
December, 1845-9, were 38, 39, 41, 42, 73 ; in the
last quarter the tenements were crowded by labour-
ers on the river works. ~.:anitary improvements
have, it is said, been made at Cambridge.
IV. EASTERN Drearox.—The deaths in the five
corresponding quarters of 1845-9 were 4,525, 6,118,
4,674, 5,033, 5,753, in Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk.
The excess was greatest in West ham, Romford,
Witham, Woodbridge, Yarmouth, and Norwich.
Cholera was noticed in West Ham, Chipping Ongar,
Rochford union-house, Lowestoffe, and Norwich.
Scarlatina and low fever prevailed in several low
districts.
V. SOUTH-WESTERN DIVISION.—The mortality in
1849 was generally lower in IVilts, and higher in
Dorsetshire, Devonshire, Cornwall, and Somerset-
shire, than it was in the corresponding quarter of
1848. Small-pox prevailed in many districts where
vaccination had been neglected. Scarlatina prevailed
in Heavitree, where is "great destitution among the
labouring population from want of labour." There were
2 deaths from cholera in St. Sidwell, 13 in St. David,
Exeter (the last on Oct. 30) ; and 18 from dysentery,
in the Exeter workhouse. After the cholera of the
summer had extended over England—and smitten
many thousands of the population in all unhealthy
places—partial outbreaks followed in autumn, like
the distant peals of thunder after a hurricane. The
epidemic lingered in parts of Devon, Cornwall, and
Somersetshire, and broke out fatally in Taunton
workhouse and in Bridgwater. The deaths in Bridg-
water from all causes were 318; which is nearly at
the rate of 4 per cent. per annum of the population.
Cholera prevailed in Plymouth through October ;
fever in Bath.
VI. WEST MIDLAND DIVISION.—The mortality,
was lower than the average in Gloucestershire, Here-
fordshire, Shropshire, and Warwickshire; higher
than the average in Staffordshire and Warwickshire.
Scarlatina was rire in parts of Shropshire and War-
wickshire. Several cases of cholera were fatal over
Staffordshire. The deaths in Birmingham were
1,036, in Coventry 349, in Worcestei 143, Stafford
115. Shrewsbury 122.
VII. NORTH MIDLAND DIVISION.—The mortality
in Leicestershire, Rutlandshire, and Nottinghamshire
was above, of Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire below
the average of the season. The mortality was below
the average in Lincoln and Nottingham. The mor-
tality was the average in the Basford district, where
were several cases of cholera as well as in Newark.
VIII. NORTH-WESTERN DIVISION.—The morta-
lity in Cheshire and Lancashire is considerably
below the average. Scattered cases of cholera oc-
curred over the counties—chiefly in October. The
deaths in Liverpool and West Derby were 2,681, in
Manchester and Salford 2,415. The registrar of
Howard-street, Liverpool, sap the sub-district is
depopulated one-half from various causes ; no deaths
from cholera occurred in the Manchester workhouse,
containing 1,300 inmates.
IX. YORK DIVISION.--The mortality was above
the average in the West Riding; below the average
in the East and North Ridings. Cholera broke out
in Knaresborough with some severity, and doubled
the deaths in the sub •district. The epidemic cholera
was fatal in Leeds in October. Bradford and other
districts suffered more or less from the disease. Shef-
field was comparatively healthy. Hull suffered hea-
vily from, cholera in the summer, and lost some in-
habitants in October, but the last two months
of the year were healthy. In Rillington only four
out of 4,000 inhabitants died from any cause in the
three months.
X NORTIZEBN DLvalorv.—The mortality of Dur-
ham and Northumberland was above, of Cumber-
land about-, of Westmoreland below, the average.
The cholera epidemic terminated in many of the dis-
tricts of Durham ,at the beginning of the quarter;
the epidemic broke out at Bedlington in Novemher,
and killed on the hill-side 26 people in a short time.
There is a want of drainage. Cholera also raged in
Aln wick.

ARRIAGES.
67,578 persons werMe married in the quarter which
ended on September 30, 1849. I; was the time when
the cholera was rife; yet the marriages exceeded in
numbers—and even in
proportion to the population—
the marriages in the corresponding quarters of 1848
and 1847, and in every quarter since the summer of
1838, except the summers of 1839, 1844-5-6. The
excess was chiefly
in London, Middlesex, Surrey,
Norfolk, Herefordshire, Leicestershire, Nottingham-
shire, Derbyshire, Cheshire, Lancashire, the
West Riding of Yorkshire, and Cumberland.
The marriages were stationary or decreased
in Kent, Hampshire, •--Berkshire, Bedfordshire,
Cambridgeshire, Essex, Suffolk, Devonshire, Corn-
wall, Somersetahire, Gloucestershire, Shropshire;
Staffordshire, Warwickshire, Rutlandshire, Lincoln-
shire, the East Riding of Yorkshire, Durham, North-
umberland, and Westmoreland. In the towns and
manufacturing districts, the marriages as a general
rule increased ; in the agricultural, coal, and iron
districts they decreased ; but the deviation from the
average was on neither side considerable. At St.
George's, Hanover-square, the marriages were 238,
or less than in the same season of 1845-6-7 ; in
nthaei.
gSr et Strand,
d
Whitechapel,Holbor n,St. Luke, Shoreditch, Bermondsey,Beth-
Lam-
beih districts the marriages
exceeded the
and
average. In Brighton the marriages (163) were
considerably above the average; in Cheltenham
the marriages in the fire summer quarters of 1845-9
were 112, 99, 90, 90, and 99. In Bristol, Wolver-
hampton, Liverpool, Leeds, and Hull, which suffered
severely from cholera, the marriages were depressed ;
in Bath and Birmingham about the average; in
Sheffield, Manchester, Stockport, Halifax, and the
manufacturing districts of the same class, the mar-
riages ;mere much more numerous than in 1847-8,
and indicated the dawn of prosperity. The average
rate of marriage in the 11 preceding summer quar-
ters was .747 ; in the summer quarter of 1849 it was
156 per cent. ; somewhat therefore for the whole
country above the average. Winter and summer are
the seasons in which the fewest marriages are cele,
brated in England.

CLOSE OF HOLIDAYS.
Now that the season of annual festivity is about to termi-
nate, and the respective boarding-schools reinstated by the busy
throng of youthful aspirants, their personal comfort and attractions be-
come naturally an object of great solicitude with friends and relatives.
Now it is that ROWLAND'S MA.2ASSAR OIL, for accelerating the
growth and for improving and beautifying tho hair ; ROWLAND'S
KALYDOR, for improving the skin and complexion and removing
cutaneous eruptions; and ROWLAND'S ODONTO, for beautifying
the teeth and preserving the gums, must be universally considered
Indispensable.
The august patronrge conceded by all the Sovereigns of Europe to
these creative and renovating specifics, and theconfirmation, by ex-
perience, of their inflallible efficacy, have characterised them as per-
fect, and given them a celebrity unparalleled.

BIRTHS.

135,481 births were registered in the quarter
which ended on December 31, 1849. The births
in the corresponding quarters of 1845 8 were
131,219, 139,349, 127,267, 133,204. So that the
proportion of births to the population is 3.022 per
cent, in 1849, or greater than in the correspond..
ing quarters of 1847-8 ; it is less than in the De•
cember quarters of 1843-6. The births in the year
1849 were 578,087, which is the greatest number
ever returned in one year. The number of births in
1846 was 572,625, in 1847 only 539,965, and in 1848,
563,205. The estimated proportions to the population in
the six years 1844-9, were 3.263, 3.236, 3.364, 3.131,
3.223, and 3264 per cent. The latter proportion
is equal to 1 in 31 (or 30.64) of the population ; 1
in 15.67 of the female population ; and 1 in 7'33 of
the women at the ages 15-45. Ttie number of per-
sons of the ages 15 and under 45 in the country was
on July 2, 1849, not more than 3,945,299 men, and
4,238,481 women, showing an excess of 283,189
women of the age 15-45 in England ; against which
a party of the army, seamen, and fishermen belonging
to England, but absent from the country in the middle
of the year, have to he placed.
The births, in the metropolitan districts of Surrey,
in Liverpool, and in Hull, where cholera was so fatal
in the summer quarter, were fetter in the December
quarter of 1849, than in the corresponding quarter of
1848.
BIRTHS AND DEATIIS.--MOVEMENT OF POPUL ATION.
Tne births registered 1.7 the last quarter of 1849
were 135,481, the deaths 97,688 ; so that the natur4]
increase of which there is a record was 37,793. But
46,136 persons emigrated in the quarter from 11
ports at which there are Government officers, and
41,845 of the number left the three English ports of
Liverpool, London, and Plernouth.* All the births
in England are not registered, the emigrants of
English birth are not distinguished, no account is
taken of the immigrants into England, and
Scotland and Ireland still remain almost the
only parts of the civilized world in which the births
and deaths arc unregistered, so that the accurate
statement, which might otherwise by proper arrange-
ments be so easily made of the movement of the
population of the United Kingdom, is impossible.
The excess of births over deaths in the year was
578,087-441,458136,629.
STATE OP THE PUBLIC HEALTH.
The deaths in the last quarters of the five years
1345-6-7-8-9, were 80,681, 108,937, 103,479,
92,447, 97,778. The rate of mortality in the quarter
was 2.181 per cent. ; slightly in excess of the average
rate (2.165) of the 12 December quarters 1838-49.
The lowest rate of mortality (1.898) was experienced
in the December quarter, 1845—the highest (2529)
in the corresponding quarter of 1846.
If we take the complete years—the deaths re-
gistered in the five years 1845-6-7-8-9, were 349,366,
390,315, 423,304, 400,060 441,458. The deaths in
1849 exceeded the deaths in 1845 by 920,92. The
average annual mortality of the 10 years 1838-47
e r t
was 2.213 per cent. ; of the 12 years 1838—.49,
2143. Tne annual mortality was lowest (2.080 per
cent., or lin 48) in the year 1845 ; highest (2.493,
or lin 40) in the year 1849. The high rate of mor-

it was succeeded by influenza at the close of 1847 and
the beginning of 1848; the Asiatic form of cholera
first distinctly showed itself in October, 1848, and
raged in many places with
great violence in the
months of July, August, September, and a part of
October, 1849, when it generally subsided.
The returns of the other States of Europe are still
so much in arrear that there are no means of com-
paring them with those of England, but it is worthy
of remark that the mortality of England in 1849,
when cholera was epidemic, scarcely exceeded the
mortality of France and Sweden in ordinary years,
and was much less than the ordinary mortality of
Saxony, Prussia, Italy, Austria, and Russia.
LONDON.—The deaths in London from specified
causes were 12,818 ; of which 3,227 were by diseases
of the aymotic class, 2,035 tuberctilar, and 2,133 by
pulmonary disease. Of the deaths 494 were by cholera;;
482 by diarrhoea. All except about 20 of the deaths
from cholera occurred in October. 99 deaths from
small-pox, 338 from measles, 486 from scarlatina,
and 273 from hooping-cough, were registered ;
the numbers are below the average. Metria, erysi-
pelas, and syphilis, were less than usually fatal. The
deaths of the mothers in and after childbirth, were
116, or one death of the mother to 1,168 children
born ; a small proportion, not so low, perhaps, as it
should be, but much lower than it has been at the
same season in London, or, perhaps, in any other city.
one death from hydrophobia was registered in the
December quarter, 1845 ; none since. The registrar
of St. Afartinsin-the-Fields, Charing-cross, reinaks:—
" Cholera has disappeared, but there is an extensive
field for improvement in the dwellings of the poor,
as well as in the drainage ; and a supply of water
in a state fit to drink, instead of the disgusting fluid
now so highly charged for, is loudly demanded."
If. SOUTH-EASTERN Measles and
scarlatina prevailed in some of the parishes of Epsom ;
typhus and influenza in Guildford ; at Farnham,
Dorking, and the other districts of Surrey, the mor-
tality was below the average. The registrar of
Frimley only registered six deaths. " This is lower,"
he says, " than I ever remember it to have been.
Owing to the alarm of the cholera, the people in this
district lave been more guarded in their manner of
living ; and in consequence of the low price of almost
every article of food and clothing, the condition of
the labourer is considerably improved within the last
six months "

Oxford-street, nearly opposite the Pantheon.
The proud position in which L. lIYAM and COMPANY stand as
the largest Tailors and Clothiers in the world, is a sufficient guaran-
free of their capablities for offering extraordinary advantages in

find that each succeeding season will bring with it the most striking
proofs that every exertion will be used still further to develop these
advantages, and to produce an assortment of clothing of the highest
and most perfect character.

The whole of the Winter Stock being now on view, the favour of
an early call will be duly appreciated, whilst the proprietors will
spare no exertion or expense in producing for the inhabitants of
London and its vicinities costumes unequalled in the fashionable
world. Convinced both by ntnnerous flattering testimonials and by
yet more numerous and more tangible proofs of public approbation
of the superiority of their business system, and of the important
economical advantages, L. lIYAM and COMPANY respectfully

Poole, of No. 2, Mermaid-court, Borough, had suffered for a
very long psriod with a dreadful sore leg, which baffled the
skill of many of the most eminent surgeons in private practice,
as well as in the hospitals and dispensaries, under whose treat-
ment she had been, none of whom, after repeated trials, could
effect the least good. The use of Holloway's Ointment and
Pills alone has been the means of curing this extraordinary bad
leg, to the wonder and astonishment of all who have seen it, as
Mrs. Poole is a person far advanced in years.--Sold by all

!to examine what compensation is due to the post-
masters of France for losses sustained by th in
consequence of the establishment
of railroads.em It

The General commanding at Lyons has ordered all
copies of the speech of M. VICTOR HuGo, on Public
Instruction, which arrive in the city during the con-
tinuance of the state of siege, to be seized. The

statesman.
The responsible editor of the Liberte
months' imprisonment
MOUILLARD,
M has been condemned to three
imprisonment
and 4,000 f. fine for publishing a seditious Dbel.
The Ordre says :—" Several journals have repeat-
edly stated that the idea of a parliamentary club,
composed of a great number of the members of the
majority, who do not belong to the legitimatist party,
had been abandoned. We have already corrected
this error. The club is constituted ;it is now com-
posed of 200 members, and the first meeting will pro-
bably take place on Thursday evening."

GERMANY.

____._—___
Intelligence has been received from Berlin to the
29th ult. In the morning sitting of the First Cham-
ber on that day the general debate on the Royal
Message was concluded.
As yet the following propositions have been
adopted unanimously, in accordance with the Se-
cond Chamber:—Proposition I. (concerning the
Press) • IL (Landsturm); 111. (Civic Guard); IV.
(Term for the dissolution of the Chambers); and IX.
(Electoral districts of the Second Chamber). Pro-
position V. (Ministerial responsibility) has been re-
jected.
The Stoats Anzeiger of Wirtemberg confirms the
report that a German constitution has been drawn
up by the Four Kings of the Secondary States. The
Erfurt elections have generally fallen out, in the
small stater, in favour of the constitutional party.
The democratic party has abstained from voting.
The Saxon Government has laid before the Cham-
bers a Bill on the right of association and assembly.

In Hungary the Austrian authorities are setting
the condemned murderers and thieves at liberty, in
order to obtain room in the prisons for the political
prisoners.
According to correspondence of the Augsburg
Allgemeine Zeitung from Frankfort, dated 17th,
fresh rumours are current in that city of a partition
of Baden. The proposal is represented to have
emanated from Vienna, and to be grounded upon a
convention between the Cabinets of Vienna and
Munich. Austria claims the portions formerly
belonging to her Crown ; and Bavaria that part of
the Palatinate which fell to Baden. Hess is also to
get a bit of the spoil lying on her borthr. The
Grand Duke of BADEN and his successors are to be
indemnified by possession in Franconia. Fresh
changes of territory are to follow upon the execu-
tion of this plan, according to which Prussia is to be enlarged at the cost of the same Prince.

RUSSIA AND CIRCASSIA.
A private letter from the Dardanelles states, on the
authority of accounts from E-zerown of the 13th of
December, that instead of the great victory stated in
the St. Petersburgh Gazette to have been gained by
the Russians over Scilasin. in Daghestan, it was, on
the contrary, the Russians who were obliged to retire
after a heavy loss.

F
,- CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.
During the present week the arrivals of English Wheat
fur our market, coastwise, have been confined to 2,720
quartes. By land-carriage the supply has been trifling.
To-day several of Monday's unsold samples were on offer,
and the demand for all descriptions of Wheat of horse pro-
duce was excessively heavy. Where sales took place, prices
ruled the turn in favour of the buyers. Upwards of 8,000
quarters of Foreign Wheat have come in, chiefly from the
near continental ports. Fine parcels ruled nominally ths
same as on Alonday, but the middling and inferior kinds
were Is. per quarter lower to purchase. Barley—the supply
of which was seasonably large—was dull in the extreme,
and is per quarter cheapen Scarcely a transaction took
place in Malt. Good sound Oats were scarce, and held at
late rates. Damp qualities were quite neglected. Beans
ruled heavy, at late rates. White Peas and Indian Corn
were Is per quarter lower. In Flour next to nothing doing,
Several large parcels hare come in from France.

Notwithstanding that the supply of Beasts here to-day
was very moderate, the time of year considered, the demand
for all breeds, owing to the change in the weather, ruled
heavy, at a decline in the prices of Monday of 2d per Blbs.
The highest figure for the beet Scots was 35 10d per Blbs.
With Sheep we were very scantily supplied. As the arrivals
of dead meat up to Newgate and Leadenhall during the pre•
snit week have been comparatively small, the Mutton trada
ruled tolerably firm at full rates of currency, and at which a
good clearance was effected. The number of Calves was
limited, yet the Veal trade was in a sluggish state, at last
week's currencies. In Pigs next to nothing was doing at
our quotations. Milch Cows were very dull at from 14f. to
W. each, including their small Calf.
