      HBIRTHS , MARRIES , AND DEATHS IX ENGLAND . ' - The Registrar-General has issued his quarterly return of hethe ^ arriages . bir . hs , and deaths , registered mthe divisions , o rountie * . and districts of England . Ttrths-151 , 193 births were registered in the quarter ueodte- September 30 , 1852 . The number slightly exceeds luthe Wgh number registered in the corresponding qnarter of IS 1 S 51 and is greater by 31 , 371 , than the number registered nin 1840 , when it is belieyed the registration was more imlast twelve months

      , eperfpctthanit is now . Within the 5-i G-n "CO children have been enrolled on the national registers ' ' The rate of births in England is influenced by the ; eseasons ; it is higher in the first than it is in the last two ip quarters of the years , in the proportion of 34 to 31 . Thus , aitakin" one year with another , the annual rate of births per > e cent , in the spring quarter is 3-411 , in the summer quarter , 5 S 147 ; the rates in 1852 were 3 * 516 and 3 , 294 . S Sr - Marriages . —10 , 014 persons weie married in the quar-U ter , ending June 30 th , 1 S 52 ; and thus 40 , 007 families were « established , or 5 , 286 more than were established in the

      c corresponding quarter of 184 S . The proportion of persons n married to the population was 1 , 766 ; of marriages , 883 in 1100 , 000 j while the average numbers are respectively 1 , 656 a and 828 . The increase in the marriages appears to be g general ; but it is the greatest in London , where the mari riages in the quarter were 6 , 713 , or 1 , 304 more than the i marriages in the corresponding quarter of 184 S . In Hamps shire , Devonshire , Somersetshire , Cheshire , Lancashire , ] Durham , Cumberland , and South Wales , and generally in 1 the ports from which emigrants sail , an unusual number of ; marriages was celebrated .

      Deaths . —100 , 497 deaths were registered m the quarter ending September 30 th . This number greatly exceeds the number of deaths in any of the corresponding quarters of previous years , except 1846 and 1849 , when 101 , 663 deaths and 135 , 235 deaths respectively were registered . IxcitEASE of Population . —As 151 , 193 births and 100 , 497 deaths have been registered in the quarter , the natural increase is 50 , 696 , which is at the rate of 3 , 899 weekly , and 557 daily . The natural increase is less than it has hitherto usually been , not through any diminution of the number of births , but by the increase of deaths from epidemic causes .

      EMiGRATipir . —Emigration . has proceeded with increased activity . The emigration from the United Kingdom went on through the summer at a rate which , if it continue the same , will sensibly reduce the population . 109 , 236 persons left the ports at which there are government emigration officers ; 62 , 579 sailed for the United States , 7 , 116 for British North America , 38 , 601 for the Australian colonies , and 940 for other places . 8 , 335 emigrants sailed from Irish , 5 , 976 from Scotch ports . 94 , 925 sailed from English ports , namely : 70 , 012 from Liverpool , 3 , 125 from Plymouth , and 21 , 778 from London . The destination of 14 , 956 of the emigrants from London was Australia . It is well known that a large proportion of the emigrants that sail from the port of Liverpool are of Irish birth . Births axd Deaths in the Metropolis . —Last week

      the births of 6 * 6 boys and 714 girls , m all 1 , 400 children , were registered in London . The average number in seven corresponding weeks of the years . 1845—51 was 1 , 400 . In the week that ended last Saturday the deaths from all causes amounted to 1090 . In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1842—51 the average number of deaths registered was 961 , which , if raised , for comparison with the present mortality , according to increase of population , becomes 1 , 057 . Hence it appears that last week ' s retnrn is slightly in excess of the corrected average .

      Gardening Calendar. Hakbt Frum Gardes.—T...

      GARDENING CALENDAR . Hakbt Frum Gardes . —The planting of fruit trees , either in the open quarters or against walls , may be commenced at once , supposing tlie borders to have been sufficiently prepared for their reception . In planting , add trees between old-established ones against walls ; a ho ' le of considerable size should be made for the young tree , and refilled with the fresh compost , keeping our former directions in mind as regards depth of "border . In preparing new soil for planting fruit trees , endeavour to keep it as dry as possible , and choose a dry day for planting , that the soil may be in a favoural . de state to facilitate the growth of fresh roots this present autumn . The present time is

      likewise ihe most favourable for relifting and root-pruning such trees that are too luxuriant , and require checking , to induce a fruitful habit . We prefer lifting the trees entirely ( unless they are very large ) to cutting off the roots as they stand . After shortening the roots proportionably to the strength of the tree , spread them out near the surface , and fill iu with compost , oh which a mulching of half-rotten dung should he spread , to prevent frost from entering the ground , but while the above is often necessary with existing trees , planting in too rich or too deep borders , it should be home in mind that it is only a palliative measure , and in

      the course of a few years will require repeating , unless measures are at the same time taken to make the border shallower or poor r , as the case may be . We are of opinion that most wall trees would be more fruitful , were their roots confined to borders of very limited extent , compared with what is generally the case ; and by which the balance between the roots and branches could be adjusted without the trouble and expense of lifting and root-pruning . Clear off the remaining leaves from Avail trees , to give the wood the advantage of sun and air to assist its ripening . Gardeners' Chronicle . *'
