Tre total popuiaticn consisted of 137,977 souls, of whom 69,788 were males, and 68 289 females. (Of thes, 90 fami ites, or 827 persons, were Christians; 14,766 families, or 66,120 pertons were Mahommedant; and 19,267 families, or 71,530 persons, were Hindoos. In the year 1846, there were born 1,964 males and 1,910 females; the marriagss were £68 tn bomber, and 4,860 deaths octurred, Of the Inst, 1,020 took p ace before the age of 12 mputhy, 493 re. tween 19 months and 2 years, 84 between 2 and 12 years, and 2,194 above that age centux of tho 13 forming the suburbs of Delhi comes down to 1817.

Tho first is, what, notwithstanding the practice of polygamy, there is & very (rifling diffe: ence between the number of malesand that of femaies. The only in‘orence t be drawn from this fact is, that a largs proportion of the males mant be unmar: ried, and that, corsequently, diasolate habits are the rule. The otber point to be remarked ts the equal division of the popvlation into Hindoos and Mahommedans. Throughout Bengal foahinn f the former ts to the latter as three to one. This exteptional fect is. of course, attributable to the cir. cumeétance thet Delbi hae alwi been regarded aa the headquarters and capita! of the Mahommedan population of Ladin.
