Excluding those still-born, the Births of 4103 children were
registered in 1859, or 181 more than in the preceding year.
Of these the Boys numbered 2088, and the Girls 2015.
Their rate to each 1000 living is 38.4, and to the Deaths as
1.8 to 1. In all England the ratio per 1000 for the last 10
years is 33.8, and in the Metropolis during 1859, 33.3. With

in the Autumn. Irrespective of migratory changes,
the number in excess of the Deaths was 1830. Of each
1000 born within the year there died 148, while to every
100 deaths the proportion dying out of the annual births
was 26.7. Among the 4103 Births those out of wedlock
amounted probably to 88, for on an average of 7 years the
