THE COTTON FAMINE IN ENGLAND.

Report showing the Ratio of Pauperism before the Cotton Famine, the Maximum since, and Present State.

The following table exhibits the pauperism at its maximum and in its present state. The first column of figures gives an average degree of pauperism in a period of great manufacturing activity, by showing the numbers weekly relieved in every 1000 of the population; the second column contains the actual mean of the numbers so relieved; the third column shows the highest numbers returned during the cotton famine; and the fourth column, the present numbers (Sept. 12, 1863).

The least pauperized Union in 1861 is placed first; the others are in due sequence.

The maximum for the whole district occurred in the first week of December, 1862; but in some

Unions it fell earlier, and in some a little later.

Among the flag-officers numbered above there were-3 Admirals of the Fleet, 7 Admirals of the Red, 7 Admirals of the White, 7 Admirals of the Blue, 9 Vice-Admirals of the Red, 9 of the White, and 9 of the Blue, 17 Rear-Admirals of the Red, 17 of the White, and 17 of the Blue; making in all 102 admirals.
