ABSTRACT OF THE REGISTRAR-GENERAL'S RETURN OF THE

MARRIAGES IN ENGLAND AND WALES DURING1 THE THIRD QUARTER (JULY-SEPTEMBER), AND OF THE BIRTHS AND DEATHS DURING

THE FOURTH QUARTER (OCTOBER-DECEMBER), oF 1859.

THiIS Return comprises the BIRTHS and DEATHS registered by 2,197 Registrars in all the districts of England during the Autumn Quarter that ended on December 31st, 1859; and the MARRIAGES in 12,387 churches or chapels, about 4,195 registered places of worship unconnected with the Established Church, and 631 Superintendent Registrars' offices, in the quarter that ended on September 30th, 1859.

The last Quarterly Return of 1859 presents satisfactory results. The country has recovered from the depression of 1858. The mnarriage rate, which had been low in the two previous years, approached the average. A great number of children in excess of the average were born; and, notwithstanding the severe Weather, the Mortality was nearly at the usual rate in the last quarter of the year.

The accounts of the Year 1859 are now made up, and they show in satisfactory contrast an increase in the birth-rate, a decrease in the death-rate of England and Wales.

MARRIAGEsS.-79,852 persons married in the Summer quarter that ended on September 30th, and the marriage-rate was 1-602. This is a great increase on the numbers marrying in the corresponding quarter of the previous year, when the marriage-rate was 1-568. The average marriage-rate of the season is 1-623.

BIRTHS.-The births of 170,091 children were registered in the quarter that ended on December 31st. The number is 12,084 in excess of the number registered in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. The birth-rate was 3-402; it is the highest on record. The average of the season is 3-197.

689,558 children were registered in the year, or 1,889 daily. INCREASE OF POPULATION.-The Births exceeded the Deaths by 60,641, and

that was therefore nearly the natural increase of the population in 92 days. Thus the population of England and Wales increased at the rate of 659 daily; and the probable natural increase of the population of the United Kingdom was 988 daily.

In the year the excess of births over deaths was 248,309, or 680 daily in England and Wales; in the United Kingdom the natural increase must have exceeded 1,000 daily.

24,118 Emigrants sailed from the ports of the United Kingdom at which there are Government emigration officers, and about 9,894 of them were of English origin. During the year 120,432 emigraiits sailed from our shores, of whom about 40,245 were English, 12,077 Scotch, 62,841 Irish, and 5,269 were foreigners.*

PRICES, TIE WEATRER, AND PAUPERISM.-The prices of food, the weather, and the state of employment influence, to a certain extent, the births, deaths, and marriages of the population.

Wheat was sold at the average rate of 43s. 4d. a quarter during the last tlhirteen weeks of the year 1859; in the corresponding weeks of 1857 and 1858 the price was 52s. and 41s. 9d. The price of this great article of food fluctuated little, and has been moderate during the last two years. The average price of beef by the

The price of meat fluctuates less than the price of bread; but taking the mean of the two articles, the price has followed the same course as the price of wheat. So the price of potatoes, which fluctuates largely, and has an evident effect on the public health, was 140s., 87s. 6d., and 102s. 6d. a ton in the last thirteen weeks of the three years 1857, 1858, and 1859.

Col. 6 is deduced from the Weekly Tables published in the Economist. The average of the highest and of the lowest prices is here shown in cols. 4, 5, and 6, and not the absolute highest or lowest price quoted at any period of the quarter.

Cols. 7 and 8 are deduced from the Returns of the Poor Law Board. The Returns relate to 644 Unions, &c., comprising a population of 17,652,540 (in 1851), and do not include the paupers of parishes, &c., incorporated under Gilbert's Act, or still under the 43rd Elizabeth; Lunatic Paupers in Asylums and Vagrants relieved in the above Unions are also excluded. They amounted on January 1st, 1858, to-Insane Persons, 19,487; Vagrants, 2,265. The rest of the paupers on that day amounted to 880,280.

(November lst-8th); then the cold weather returned, and became intense, the temperature falling all over the country below the freezing point of water (320), and in many places descending below 100. At Norwich the low point of 1? was observed; at Holkham 3 8?; at Lampeter 2? below zero. The weather after December 23rd, became again unusually warm until the end of the year. The rain- fall was 8 7 in.; or 1-6 in. above the average of the season. Nearly 26 in. of rain fell in the year; or half an inch in excess of the average. In the four previous years the rain-fall was deficient.

Pautperism has gradually declined; the average number of paupers in receipt of relief duiring the last thilteen weeks of 1857-8-9, were respectively 859,756, 826,655, and 793,391.

STATE 0F THE PUBuIC HEIALTHE-109,450 deaths were registered in the last quarter of the year 1859, and the mortality was at the rate of 2-189 per cent. per anlnum. This is sliglhtly above the average rate (2-183); but is much below the rates in the corresponding quarters of the two previous years (2 263) and (2.402).

In the last year 441,249 deaths were registered; and the mortality was at the rate of 2-231 per cent.; or rather more than 22A died out of 1,000 living.

By a careful induction, drawn from an extensive series of observations on various portions of the population, it appears that the Deaths should not have exceeded 322,616 in the year, at what may be provisionally called the natural rate, actually prevailing in sixty-three districts of the country. The 118,633 deaths in excess of this number were, therefore, unnatural deaths.

If we divide the population into two nearly equal parts, the Town population, it is found, died at the rate of nearly 25 in 1,000; the Country population at the rate of 19 in 1,000 on an average during ten previous autumn quarters. In the last Quarter the mortality of the towns was between one and two in 1,000 below the average. This reduction may be fairly referred to the full employment of the people in the manufacturing districts, and to the partial sanitary improvements which have been made in several large towns. That is not the effect of the weather, or of any universal cause, is proved by the fact that in the country and small town districts the mortality rose from the average of 19 to 20 deaths out of 1,000 living.

The diseases of the Lungs were unusually fatal, in consequlence of the severity of the weather; and the new form of throat disease (diphtheria) has caused much sickness, and in some places has destroyed many lives.

Fever lhas also been unusually prevalent in certain districts. Pathologists now distinguish three kinds of fever which have been hitherto confounded together; and are still apparently undistinguished by a certain number of medical practi- tioners. The typhoid fever, or typhia, as it may be called to distinguish it from typhus, Dr. Southwood Smith, Dr. Murchison, and others, have shown is a kind of night-soil fever. It was the cause of many deaths in families during the quarter. Thus in the sub-district of Lyncombe, near Bath, the Registrar reports five cases of typhoid fever at Oldfield Cottage; three had terminated fatally, and another death was hourly expected. The deceased young ladies, aged 19, 18, and 15, were the daughters of a lieutenant-colonel, who expressed his conviction that imperfect drainage was the cause of his most distressilng loss. This fever has prevailed at Bedford; rich and poor have been affected. Twenty-six deaths from it have happened in the town duLring the last three months. People are suddenly attacked with considerable irritability of the bowels; tenderness of the right iliac region, gurgling of the bowels, the eruption of rose-coloured spots, delirium, and sometimes perforation of the intestines follow. Relapses are frequent. Foul cesspools are numerous in the town, and the drainage is very defective. The soil is mostly gravelly, porous, and affected by soakage. Water colntamination is frequenit. A wheelwright's wife aged 37, died of the fever on October 31st; a labourer's wife, aged 25, on November 16th; a dairyman's son, aged 23, on December 7th; a physician's daughter, aged 20, on December 15th; a captain's daughter, aged 18, on Decemnber 18th; a dealer's son, aged 23, on December 21st; and the curate, aged 24, died of the same low fever, with homorrliage, on

December 28th. These tragical losses would undoubtedly be less frequent, nay would not be sustained, if the eartlh, air, and water of the town were effectively purified. More than 50 cases of the fever occurred in the small village of Hartfield (East Grinstead, Sussex), where the drainage has been mucli neglected, and the sanitary arrangements of the houses generally are bad. The fever has been very prevalent at Newport, and its neighbourhood, in the Isle of Wight; it destroyed 13 lives. At Lemsford, in the Hatfield district, on the banks of the Lea, several persons were attacked, and two died. When this disease enters a house it generally attacks several members of the same family. The Registrars cite instances. The introduction of the disease can sonmetimes be traced ; thus, a woman went to Yarmouth to nurse her daughter, who died, and was brought to Billingford to be bulried. Afterwards the mother, a daughter, aged 24 years, and a son, aged 14 years, died of the same fever. Two more members of the same family were attacked, but are now better. The house stands apart, and the disease has not extended to any other family. Portland is crowded by men employed in the Government works; and yet patients suffering from small-pox, measles, or typhoid

fever are, the Registrar complains, distributed in private lodgings, among the inhabitants; he has registered one death by fever. Other illustrations of the fatal prevalence of-typhoid fever will be found in the Registrar's notes.

Cholera and diarrhcea have proved fatal in the Pontefract sub-district. In Glass Houghton, a towvnship of about 200 illhabitants, 12 deaths were registered in seventeen days (Oct. 1st-I 7th); they all died of cholera and diarrhcea. The dwellings in which the disease raged were badly ventilated, and in a low damp locality. Of the same diseases 15 persons died in Castleford and Whitlwood. The people had been allowed to deposit dung and other offal near a well which supplied the streets to which the disease was mainly confinied; and the heavy rains had washed the dirt into the water.

The returns afford evidence of the efficacy of Sanitary measures. Thus the fever which had prevailed some time in the camp at Colchester, continued during October and November. An inquiry was irnstituted; sanitary measures were probably adopted, and no death from fever occurred in camp or town during December, which was unusually healthy. The great diminution in the mortality of Bristol is ascribed in part to the comparative prosperity of the working classes, but still more distinctly to the improvements which have been made in the drainage, and in tlle sanitary arrangements of the city. The Registrar of Walsall accounts for the decrease of deaths by sanitary regulations.

The increase of births, and the decrease of deaths, in Wilton, the Registrar states is, in his opinion, attributable to the introduction of a new and superior class of Cottages, in lieu of the former ill-built and badly-ventilated dwellings of the agricultural labourers. The numerous new cottages, which are being built in several parishes of that sub-district, "by the direction of Mr. Sidney Herbert," will no doubt improve the health of the inhabitants.

The improvement of the health of the labouring population of the kingdom is one of the most pregnant measures of defence that can be conceived; and will not be overlooked by the great landed proprietors.

At the instance of the Lords of Her Majesty's Privy Council, the Registrars have returned the causes of many deaths in their several districts. The printed Notes contain many interesting facts; the whole of the MS. Notes have been placed in the hands of Mr. Simon, their Health Officer, as they suggest important inquiries.

Note.-The Numbers of Births and Deaths in this Return are furnished by the Registrars at the end of the Quarter, and have not yet been subjected to revision at the General Register Office; they will, therefore, be found to differ, in some instances, from the more correct numbers to be published hereafter in the Annual Report of the Registrar-General.

REMiARKS ON THE WEATHER,

DURING THE QUARTEPR ENDING DECEMBER 31ST, 1859.

By JAMIES GLAISNER, EsQ., F.R.S., c., Sec. of the British Meteorological Society.

From October 1st to the 20th the weather was very fine, and the average excess of daily temperature was 6?. On the 21st a sudden and very severe cold set in; the depressions below their average temperatures on the 21st and 22nd exceeded 12? on both days, and was as much as 15? below on the 23rd, and nearly 16? on the 24th; the daily average defect of temperature from October 21st to tlle end of the month was 81O nearly. From November 1st to 8th was warm; the daily excess of temperature was 3;*. A cold period set in on November 9th, and continued, with the exception of a very few days, to December 23rd; the cold was very severe between December 14th and 19th, particularly so from 16th to 19th; the defect of temperature on these days amounted to 15, 17', 16f, and 154? respectively; the average daily defect of temperature for the 45 days ending December 23rd was 210. From December 24th to the end of the year was warm, particularly on the last two days, when excesses of temperature over their averages were 13? and 15? respectively, and for the eight days ending December 31st average 8? daily.

The ranges of temperatures in the months of October and December, as might be expected from the preceding facts, were very remarkable, the extreme readings having beeii both remarkably high and low in both montlhs all over the country; the following Tables show these extreme readings in October:

From the Inumbers in this table it will be seen that in some cases the rang-e of temperature has closely approximated to 600, though not actually attained in any instance. The effect of the vicinity of the sea in lessening the maximum and raisinig the minima temperatures, are well shown. The ranges of temperatures in this month are very similaIk to those in the month of April of this year. The next table shows the extreme readings in December.

Fr'om this table it will be seen that the temperatures in the month of December have beeil remarkably low. At Lampeter it is stated to lhave been as low as -20; at Norwich, 10, confirmed by Holkham, 30 8, althouvh it is situate(d close to the sea; these very low tenmperatures are, lhowvever, confined to a few localities only; at nmany stations the minima readingas were, however, below 100.

The mean high day temperature of October was 590, being ;to above the average; of November was 490.4, being the same as the average; and of December was 41 ?, being 40 below the average.

The mean low night temperature of October was 450, being 1L? in excess; of November was 351", being 21' below the average; and in December was 31 0 being 40 too low.

Therefore both the days and nights in October were moderately warm; in November the days were of their average warmth, but the nights were cold; and both the days and nights in December were very cold.

The mean temperature of October was 1;' in excess, November was 11', and December was 3W0 in defect, as compared with the average of the 18 preceding years.

The mean temperature of the whole year was 500.8, being 20.5 above the average of 88 years.

The mean temperature of the dewv-point was above its average in October, and below it in November and December. The degree of humidity for the quarter is that of the average.

The mean temperature of the dew-point for the year was 44; ?, and the mean degree of humidity was 80, complete saturation being represented by 100.

The pressure of the atmosphere was above its average in November, and was much less both in October and December. The mean for the year at the height of 160 feet above the level of the sea, and in latitnde 51j0, was 29-772 iniches.

The decrease of temperature from October to November was from 50 to 100,



1860.] 1?eqistrar- General': .Report.-Dec., 1859. 127

being generally small near the sea, excepting at Worthing; the decrease from November to December was 50 or 60,. and nearly uniform all over the country.

The reading of the barometer was low in October; it increased 0-3 inch generally by November, and was 0-2 inch lower in December than in the preceding month.

The range of readings of the barometer in the month of November was large, amounitinigto 1 3 inch in the south of England, gradually increasing to 2{ inches in the north, andl in Decem-ber was also large, exceeding 2 inches at all places.

The fall of rain in the quarter was 81 inches, exceeding the average by 1-6 inch. The fall in the year amounted to 25-9 inches, exceeding- the average by half an inch; this is the first year since 1854 that the fall of rain has not been short of the average.

The temperature of vegetation, as indicated by a thermometer placed on grass, was below 30' on 52 nights out of the quarter.

The mean temperature of the air at Greenwich for the three m-onths ending Novemxber, constituting- the three autumn months, was 490.9, being 0'-7 below the average of 88 years.
