STATE OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH

(From the Registrar-General's Return.)
The Quarterly Returns are obtained from 115 districlB.
35 are in the metropolis, and the rest comprise, with soul°,
agricultural districts, the principal towns and cities 01
England. The population was 6,579,693 in 1841.
Fifty-one thousand two hundred and thirty. five deatbg
were registered in the summer quarter ending Sept. 30th'
A number greater by 15,227 than the deaths (36,008).1°
the corresponding quarter of last year. In the mild WO'
ter quarter of this year ending March, 1846, the deaths
were nearly 5000 below the average ; in the spring quartet
(June) the mortality was slightly above the average;
testinal complaints then arose, and becoming epideroier,
have been the principal causes of the immense loss °I

life on record.
While the deaths in London were little more than 14
per cent. above the return of 1845, the deaths rose from
25,166 to 38,826—0 r about 52 per cent. after a correctiln
for increase of population—in the towns and other cils;
tricts of the kingdom included in the return. In some 01
the densely peopled towns:the mortality was doubled. The
deaths in the corresponding summer quarters of the pa
and present year were in Maidstone 124, and 239; Port-
sea Island 239, and 433 ; Winchester 89 and 141 ; Oxford
89 and 194 ; Northampton 182, and 221 ; Bedford 18"
and 254; Bedford 182, and 254; Ipswich 119, and 240:
Norwich 306, and 451; Plymouth 191, and 279;

Wolstanton and Burslem 164, and 315 ; Coventry 188 ana

300 ; Nottingham 285, and 469 ; Lincoln 154, and 46.
No such mortality has been witnessed in Birmingham for
many years ; the deaths in 1845 were 694, in 1846 they
amounted to 1,627. In Liverpool and the adjacent
trict of West Derby the deaths in the summer quartedg slot
1845, and 1846, were 2,595, and 4,090 in Manchester,

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, Nov. 3.
Owing to the extraordinary interruptions to which the
corn trade in Ireland has been lately exposed, our supplies
thence are still very inconsiderable, and those fresh in
coastwise are scarcely worth naming ; to serve the wants of
consumers, therefore, with the demand for transits coast-
wise and to Ireland, we are of course dependent on the
stocks in granary, or deliveries from the neighbouring
growers, and on foreign importations which, since this
day week, furnish a liberal supply of Wheat, and Flour,
with a few lots of Barley and Pease, and 3,938 qrs. of
Indian Corn, as stated below.

The declin'elnConcionye;ierday has produced an in-
creased depression here this morning : altogether, a very
limited business has been done, at a reduction, on Wheat
of 3d. to 4d. per Nibs. ; Sack Flour 2s. to 35.; Barrel,
both free and bond, 2s. 6d.
Oats and Oatmeal about support previous rates,
and Indian Corn still commands high prices for any
on the spot, while parcels for future arrival are
more plentifully offered, and little or no enquiry for them
even at reduced rates from those lately obtainable.

CORN EXCHANGE, Nov. 6.
Instead of receiving large supplies from Ireland, as usual in
former seasons, the case so far during the present has been en.
tirely reversed, the farmers there, owing to the unsettled state
of the country, being deterred from bringing their Grain to
market; of course. as the bulk of last harvest is still said to re.
main in the stack yards, the exports thence have near! y (+cape
and, in order to supply the urgent wants of the home trade,
considerable shipments of Wheat, Indian Corn, and Flour, con-
tinue to go forward hence for that purpose. We have had,
since Monday, however, several arrivals of Wheat, Barley, and
Malt. coastwise, and a large import of States and Canadian
Flour; besides 2393 quarters American Wheat and a fair quan.
tity of other Grain, chiefly European.
The depression noticed on Tuesday has been followed by
somewhat more confidence, and it has since been difficult to
purchase either Wheat or Flour at the extreme reduction of
that day; the business done is principally on Irish account.
Having had very few country buyers at our Corn Exchange
today. and most of our kcal millers being inactive, the business
done in Wheat was upon a very moderate scale, on terms barely
Teeettny. Irish• Pio., Although to slow
request, maintained our last quotations; whilst States and Ca-
nadian, both free and In bond, were more saleable, principally
to consumers, at an advance of 6d. per barrel.
Malting Barley, being more plentiful, declined 2s. per quar-
ter, but in the value of grinding samples we have no change to
note. Malt, Beans, and Prase ruled steadily at late prices.
Oats and Oatmeal were difficult of sale, but not decidedly
cheaper.

Indian Corn, with scarcely any limit to the demand, continues
to be taken on Irish account, and rather exceeds our last cur-

DUBLIN CORN EXCHANGE, Nov. 6.

We had again this day a very dull market for all kinds of
grain. Wheat was sold at a further reduction of !s. per barrel ;
Barley was also about 6d lower, and Tuesday's prices were with
difficulty obtained for even the best qualities of Oats.

BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, Nov. 4.
curing the present week there has been little disposition to
buy Wheat. and few sales made at a decline of Is to 2s per qr.
Malting Barley dicffiult to quit, and 2s per qr. lower; grinding
held for last week's prices. English Beaus maintained their
value. Oats dull, and rather lower.
