The Wesleyans held their annual mis-.
siouary meeting at Horncastle last week /:
great effort was made to get up a first
rate meeting extra circulars were printed
and circulated profusely abroad the eff
cient services If the Rev - Dickenson

ly returned from the Friendly and Feejee
Islands, after an absence of about % years.
were obtained the sermons and speeches
were excellent; and good feeling perva-
ded The morning service was thin'y at
tended, only eight persons occupying one
side of the spacious gallery, four of whom
were strangers; but in the afternoon and
evening there was tolerably fair atten-
dance The collections were 81 less than
last year, and about 60i less than was
contributed previous to the agitation.
Free Cancer Hopi,al-Thc building on
the Fulham road, situate about a quarter
Of a mile beyond the CoLsumpt:on Hospi-
tai, and purchased BY the managing com
mttee Of the Cancer Hospital, for the re-
ception Of indoor patients, was opened for
the first time last week. Several visitors
were present, and a number of persons af-
fiicted with this most painful disease, great
ly exceeding the means Of accommodation
provided in the house, were in attendance
to urge their claims for admission. Since
the opening of the hospital, 81 cases have
been admitted, of which fifteen have been
discharged quite cured, although confirmed
cancer had previously been supposed to be
malady which admitted Of no cure, nor
even Of effcctual relief

rled in the quarter ending june 30th, 1852;
and thus 40, COZ new families were estab-
lished, OF $3.50 more than were established
in the corresponding quarter of ISIS
Th. increase in the marriages appears to
be general; but it is the greatest in Lon
don, where the marriages in the quarter
were 67l3, or 1904 more than the mar
riages in the corresponding quarter Of 1913.
l5l, l93 births were registered in the quar-
ter ending September 30,h, 1852. The
number slightly exceeds the high number
registered in the corresponding quarter of
le51, aud is greater BY 81, ,57l than the
humber registered i'll ls40, when it is be-
lieved the registration Was more imperfect
than it is now. Within the last twelve
months 62l,.60 children have been enrol
led en- the nationa! registers. The rate Of
births IL Eng gland Is influenced by the sea
sons it is higher in the first than it is in
the last two quarters Of the year, in the
proportion Of ii 10 81 Thus, taking enc
year with another, the annual rate of births
per cent. in the spring quarter is 81 III
the summer quarter 3.ll1 /; the rates III
1882 were 3.5l6 and 3.294 I00, ,497
deaths were registered in the quarter end
ing Sept. 30th. This number greatly ex-
ceeds the number Of deaths in any Of the
corresponding quarters of previous years,
except 1916 and 1S49, when 10l ,66j
deaths and 1923 deaths respectively
were registered. The excessive mortality
in the summer Of 1916 was the result Of
an extensive epidemic Of summer cholera
and diarrhGa Asiatic cholera was epiiem-
ic in the summer Of 1919 and in the pre-
sent quarter the chief causes Of the increase
! of deaths were the same as were in opera
ton in lSi6.-As l5l, 1913 births and 100,-
497 deaths have been registered in the
quarter, the natural increase is 50,696,
which is at the rate of 1899 weekly and
557 daily. The natural increase Is less
than it has hitherto usually been-not
through any diminution in the number of
births, but by the increase of deaths from
epidemic causes. Emigration has proceed
ed with increased activity. The emigra-
ton from the United Kingdom went on
through the summer at rate which, if it
continue the same, will sensibly reduce the
population. lO9,236 persons left the ports
at which there are Government emigration
officers; 62, $40 sailed for the United States,
ZIG for British North America, 50, COL
for the Australian colonies, and $40 for
other places. 1885 emigrants sailed from
Irish, 1916 from Scotch ports. S4,925
sailed from English ports namely, 70,0l2
from Liverpool, 1925 from Plymouth, and
l,1SS from London The destination of
1896 Of the emigrants from London was
Australia. 1t is well known that large
proportion Of the emigrants that sail from
the port of Liverpool are of Irish birth
