Amongst the 50 married couples it may he remarked that 46 of 
the males were civilians and 4 of the Mditary profession. Dining 
the year 1846 thete was one marriage disolved. 
On comparing the above results with the return from 1836 to 
1846 inclusive (vide Java Courant. March .list., 184/) we must 
conclude 1847 to have been a peculiarly fortunate year. f l he num¬ 
ber of births from 1829 to 1836 both years inclusive, averaged 184 
to 185 yearly; from 1837 to 1846 inclusive from 189 to 190 births. 
From the latter period to 1847 there was no great difference ob¬ 
servable. The number of deaths in 1847 was less than in any form¬ 
er year or from 1829 to 1836 when the deaths averaged 469 yearly 
and from 1837 to 1846 the deaths averaged 460 to 470, whilst in 
1847 the number was only 270. 
The marriages have increased on the average of the ycais 1829 
to 1846, when they numbered 44 couples yearly ; in the number of 
births and deaths the difference is even much greater. The deaths 
comprise a large portion of military and seafaring single men; a- 
mongst the 372 deaths for the year 1847 we find that 59 were mi¬ 
litary and 53 seamen, or a total of 114, against 158 civilians and fe¬ 
males .—Javctsvhe Courant t April 1st, 1848,
