In Shropshire the increase is one per cent; in Wiltshire the decrease is nearly one in every hundred. Staffordshire has added 20, ami Warickshire 18 per cent. In Surrey, the rate of increase is only half what it was ; the decline in Beikshire is from 12 to 10, 9, and 5 per cent., the lowest figure last. In Northamptonshire there is now an incteaseof 7, instead 12, ten years ago; in Cornwall 4, instead of 13 ; in Wiltshire the increase was 12 per cent., the decrease nearly 1 per cent. ! The only explanation of these phenomena is the increase of manufactures and discouragement of agriculture, the growth of towns and the abandonment of the fields. In London the increase is 21 males, and 22 females in every hundred of each sex.
