The number of Births registered during December is 198, viz., 102 males and 96 females.

^ le number of Deaths registered at the Central Office during the month of January is 167, viz., 86 males and 
81 females. Ibis is somewhat less than was shewn in the Returns for December. The infantine mortality,

the number of Deaths registered during the corresponding month of last year was 143. 
I he number of Births registered dating January is 159, viz., S7 males and 72 females. It is remarkable that 
this is the first occasion ou which the Deaths have ’exceeded the Births.

with tne return for January, 1858.
