MORTALITY OF PORTLAND.
The whole number of deaths, in the city for the year ending March 31, 1848, as per return of the Superintendent of Burial Grounds, was 369.
The whole number for the year ending March 31, 1849, was 408-287 males, 182 females. Of these S were over 80 years of age, 41 between 60 and 80 ; 55 between 40 and 60 ; 73 between 20 and 40 ; 49 between 5 and 20 ; 185 undor 5 ; 32 still born.
The whole number for the year ending March 31, 1860, was 481-231 males, 250 females. Of these 13 were over 80 years of age ; 44 between 60 and 80 ; 50 between 40 and 60 ; 80 between 20 and 40 ; 71 between 5 and 20 ; 223 under 5- 38 still born.
By referring to previous numbers of this reference book, it will be seen that the increase of mortality has been much larger for three years past that can be ac- counted for by the increase of inhabitants. Previous to the year ending March 31; 1848, the average number of deaths was about 1 for every 70 inhabitants per annum. During the last 3 years, supposing the minimum number of inhabitants to be 19,000, the proportion will be about 1 for every 45 3-5 ; and during the last year, supposing the number to be 20,000, the proportion was about 1 in 41 8.6.
'The increase of mortality however has been quite as great in other places. In Boston where the proportion of deaths was formerly 1 for every 41 inhabitants, the number the past year was 1 in 26.
