Excerpt from Seventeenth Annual Report of the Registrar-General of Births, Deaths, and Marriages in England

In the Scorn eastern tstos (il) the health of the people was various. Amongst its five counties iiumpshire was rather unfortunate, its deaths risi to age, which, though not remarkably in excess, is more than in an of the our corresponding quarters. Southampton, which had been fatally visited y small-pox in the early part of the year, continued to suffer from this distemper, which recently, however, has abated. At Kingston, in the same county, and Landport the disease showed no abatement in the last quarter; while scarlatina and typhus prevailed in the former place, and low fever was common at Newport in the Isle of Wight. Kent and Berkshire enjoyed more than usual exemption from fatal disease. The number of deaths in the second division was 7984; a great reduction on the unhealthy spring of I853; but the return is not very satisfactory as compared with those of ordinary years.

The south aaxn division lost 6236 lives, the number of deaths in the same quarter of the previous year having been 6795. The mortality was low in the county of Hertford and partsof Cambridge: rather high in Northamptonshire and Bedfordshire. 'i'ypltus had broken out in the parishes of Westbury and Finmere in Northampton, and had drawn attention to the necessity of cleansing Operations. At Crowland, in the same county, smallcpox was prevalent, owing to the neglect of vaccination. This disease attacked also Luton and various other points in Bedford, and not without much severity. Intermittent fever was very general in the Sutton sub-district Of Ely. In Cambridgeshire. Speaking of Whittlc~ any, the Registrar says: For a fen district this may be considered healthy. Some years ago the parishioners filled up all the muddy ditches in the town. Paved all the streets, gravelled all the roads, and made brick drains and cesso pools where most required.
