HEALTH OF SYDNEY. 
The following table is published by the 
Registrar-General every month, and will be 
carefully re-printed in this journal, forming 
at the close of each year a valuable statisti¬ 
cal document. 
The table printed for the present month 
contains the aggregate amount of deaths 
during the months of January, February, 
March, and April, 1857. These are printed

take the usual monthly issue, which will in 
future be a copy of the official document. 
The following is a statement of the births 
registered during the first four months of the 
present year.
