HEALTH AND MORTALITY OF ENGLAND.

The Register General's quarterly return of the health
and mortality of England, for the quarter ending the 31st
of December, has just been published ; and as it must be
a question of considerable interest at the present season
of scarcity to know the effect of the deficiency of food, and
the badness of its quality, on which the greater portion of
our working people have been recently fed, we subjoin a
condensation of the document, in so far as it relates to
our own Districts. These quarterly returns are obtained
from 115 districts in the Kingdom, which are sub-divided
into 576 sub-districts. Thirty-four of the districts are in
the Metropolis, and the remaining 81 comprise, with some
agricultural districts, the principal Towns and Cities in
England. And these are made from an area of ground
which, according to the census of 1841, contained 6,579,693
souls. The return commences by stating, that in the first
quarter of 1846, in consequence of the mildness of the
weather, the rate of mortality was lower than it had
been in any of the corresponding quarters of the pre-
vious 8 years. To this pleasing fact, however, the
districts of Sunderland•, Newcastle-on-Tyne, and Carlisle
were striking exceptions. In the second quarter, (ending
the 30th of June,) the mortality was a little above the
average : and diseases began to be prevalent in June,
which raised the mortality in the third quarter to the ex-
traordinary amount of 9655 above the average of that sea-
son. During this time, as can well be remembered, there

was an epidemic of Diarrha
Cholera. From that time the average number of deaths
has been increasing. Although the abstract returns
for the whole of England have not yet been made
out, yet from the present returns it may be calculated that
there were 106,000 deaths in the September quarter,
which, after correction for increase of population, is 20.000

,nd what is called English
