These further returns show the ages of the people, their condition as regards mar riage, their occupations, and their birth-places. A fuller, or more instructive exhibition of the condi tion of a community was never presented in a single volume. Although the facts elicited by an enu meration of the people in their geographical distri bution and civil relations is obviously of the first importance as a basis for the action of the states man and the legislator, no national census was at tempted in England before the present century. This last, carried out with the experience gained is six previous operations, may be regarded as being as complete in its results as any similar inquiry that has hitherto been instituted in any country. It is obviously not enough to know the mere numbers of the people and their distribution ; the ages of persons living in a community are, for ex ample, fn important element of investigation. To know the robustness, the efficiency, and generally the economic condition of a population we must in quire what proportion its adults, those upon whom the burden of society falls, bear to the whole. The proportion varies in different countries, and in the same country at different periods, the causes which act upon it being temporary or permanent, or both. In some countries, while many children are born, few arrive at maturity. In others, emigra tion and wars are taking away the most productive of the inhabitants. Although the strength of the United States is nourished by • continued influx of energetic adult emi grants frem the Old World, and although immigration has taken plume to an enormous extent during the last two years and a half, it is impossible not to believe that a war which con sumes the flower of the people has diminished the total efficiency of the population of the Republic. Now, an examination of our own latest census returns gives, under this effect, very satisfactory results. The total population of England and Wales was found in 1861 to be 20,066,224, of whom 9,082,666 'persona were under, and 10,983,558 over, twenty years of age. The number of males of twenty years of age and up wards was 5,230,573. This is that portion of the population on which all the remainder depends for protection and support the section from which our agriculturists, artisans, miners, and soldiers and sailors must come. It is, there fore, eminently satisfactory and a cause of thank• fulness that it should be ascertained to be in a state of unexampled efficiency. The figures just given show that the males of twenty years and upwards bear to the rest of the popula tion the proportion of 2,606 in each 10,000 of the population. Nor is this an accidental phenomenon. It comes before us as the development of en im provement which extends over a considerable period of steady advancement. At the census of 1821 the number was 2,424 in each 10,000 of the population. In 1841 the proportion was increased to 2,597 in that number. It is now, as we have seen, 2,606. The curious as well as statistical inquirer may find something in these tables of ages. Thus it appears that two years ago there were more than two hundred persons of 100 years of age and upwards, and between seven and eight thousand persona between 90 and 100 years of age, living among us. Of the male centenarians three were Chelsea pen sioners ; one is entered as a seaman in the Royal Navy, and another as of the merchant service ; eleven were agricultural labourers, four were shoemakers, one was a fisherman, and two were engaged in the cotton manufacture. Of the females above 100 years of age, eighty are set down simply as widows, six as domestic servants, two as hospital attendant*, and three as nurses. One female centenarian is entered as a gipsy. From the tables showing the civil and conjugal condition of the people we find that in a total population of 20,066,224 there were unmarried 5,987,861 males, of whom 4,540,542 were under, and 1,447,319 over 20 yeah of age. The number of numarritd males between 20 and 30—a period when moat men are seeking to establish themselves—is 961,695, leaving 486,624 persons over 30 to complete the total number of bachelors. The widowers, who form a separate clam, numbered 359,955. The number of un married females of all ages is 6,044,296, exceed-' ing that of the unmarried males by 56,435, the whole female population exceeding the whole male population by 513,706. The unmarried women under 20 years of age numbered 4,506,982; between 20 and 25, 643,366 ; between 25 and 30, 307,633 ; between 30 and 35, 168,100; between 35 and 40, 109,952; between 40 and 60, 223,205 ; of GO years and upwards there were 85,158, unmarried females, including 20 centenarian spinsters. The number of widows greatly exceeds, as usual, that of the widowers, being 756,717. As many as 5,066 males between fifteen and twenty years of age, are enumerated as married, and it is stated that • few cases have been met with of marriage• in which the husband is under fifteen. As may be supposed, it is in the north-western parts of the kingdom, where, owing the abundance of employ ment, youth acquires independence early, that these precocious unions are most common. Perhaps the most interesting portions of these returns are those which show the population of England and Wales marshalled according to occu pation in six groups, although in this preliminary survey we can only mention them. We are once more struck with the high organization to which oar society bee attained, and the immense variety of character Mlim... THE E: —that most peculiar feature of our own com munity—which it implies. The proportion of a, population employed in raisi ng gi r for the whole' is a fair expression of the s h avanceitent. Now, it appears that of 5,143,007 sale permits of 20 years and upwards engaged throughout England and Wales in specified productive occu pations, professional, commercial, manufacturing, domestic, only 1,286,960, or 25 in every hun dred, were engaged in agricultural occupations, leaving the energies of three-fourths of the effective population free to carry out the manifold enter prises which secure for Great Britain ita place among the nations of the world. gbe eoun.

THE EGYPTLUI HALL. After ten or twelve years' popularity as the hsed-gnarters of " eetertaimsate," the Egyptian•hall (by which, of amnia we moan the room long occupied by the late Mr. Albert Smith) has returned to those attractions which made Its youthful reputation. It has gone back boldly to moving diocamas, nod will open oa Moaday seat with that splendid series of pectins of the Holy Lend which hare been painted by Mr. W. Telbin and his son to ilk.- trate the Prince of Wales's tour in the East. This is not the first time that the little "Moot Blanc" stage has bees fitted up for sketches of Egypt, Byrn", and Tarkey,as kileems. Beemoi and Feed, we believe, displayed a penman* of the Holy Land here some yams ago—a short time after Mr. ttsurard went away with his gigantic roll of American seseacy. Mr. Telbis's diorama, we seed scasesly naiad our readers, was misted for Mr. B•ckstone, who originally ietended to produce it as a pendant to the burlesque of Randal. As It could not be got ready for this Christmas piece its produc tion was deferred until lust Baster, what it was plac e d on the Haymarket stage to follow a little burlemee by Yr. Stirliag Coyne. There was always something forced and unnatural about this combination of farce and pictures of solemn and deathless interest % and for obvious reasons one or two of the most affective somas could not be shows. The removal of the diorama from meet, if not all, of the emaciation' of the theatre, gets over this difficulty of taste and feeling, and it is, therefore, now given in its entirety. Mr. Tends has bets so long before the public as a scents artist, and has produced so many works of great artistic merit, that we shall pay him the highest praise when we my that in this, his latest production, he is fully aqua to himself. In the Egyptian-hall ha is brought okeer to his audience than he has generally bees accustomed to, sad has small space is which to work his dioraisia effects, but he comes out of this tryiog position triumphantly. His pic tures if plums have the impress of reality ; his richness of colour is shows in the atmospheric Until, foliage, sad dram• ; his riven an as wonderfully miner-like as ever, and he has succeeded is the difficult tank of coeveyieg the sentiment of each picture.

If we are well informed (says tlitihallpendanee)l and we believe we are, the Russian answer which is expected in London, Paris, and Vienna, whilst maintaining the principles already laid down by Russia in previous dispatches, and reiterated in the last article of the St. Petersburg Journal, will likewise contain an indication of the reforms projected by the government of the Czar. These reforms will consult of the introduction of the principle of decentralisation, ou representative bassi, into the administration of the empire. Provincial insti tutions similar to those of the arrondissement and departmental councils of France will be established. The members will be chosen by election. The functions of these councils will be more exten sive than the similar ones in France, and will more resemble in character those of the provin cial councils iu Belgium. With respect to Poland the institutions indicated in the treaties of 1815, with perhaps some extension, will be granted, but only after its pacification, and without the least mixture of interference on the part of foreigners. The answer will soon be sent from St. Petersburg, but its contents are already known by the governments of France, England, and Aus tria, and have given entire satisfaction to two of them, the meaning of which is that the third will also have to accept them. PRUSSIA. A SIGNIFICANT HINT. The Kreutz Zeitung, the organ of the federal party in Prussia, publishes the following from Frankfort-on-the-Oder under date of Sept. 6 : The municipal cooped of our city unanimously rejected yesterday, in en extraordinary special meetiog, the propo sition of the chief magistrate to vote a sum of money for the/Cte in honour of the King, who will reside here during the great marceuvres which are to take place in the environs.

PARIS, Famat Evainto. (rwox oils oww col Universal suffrage is certainly entering upon what the French call • " new phase." For many years it has been worshipped as a veiled prophet, but now the veil is dropping down, and the pro. bable consequence is that the reverence of the wor shippers will very much diminish. Scarcely a day passes but some instance of monstrous, flagrant ini quity on the part of the authorities, which in the early days of the empire would have been thought too much a matter of course to be noticed even in conversation, and which no journal would have dared to allude to, is laid bare to the public gaze. A recent trial at the assize court of Chateaurouz, in the Luke et Loire, gives a most amusing insight to the coulisse of a country election. As the report in the Droit is very long, I shall abridge it, without closely following the form of a legal narrative, but you may rely upon the scrupulous fidelity of this resume. Here are the dramatis persona : Sauty, president of the Assize Court., a judge who, like moat of his fellows, perceives that the system of fistula. lest elections is tottering to its fall. M. Teetard Vaillant,mayor of St. 'naive (Indre et Loire), a functionary devoted to the power which set him to rule over his fellow citizens. M. Henault, the mayor's assistant, equally devoted. rouget, garde champetre, • country bumpkin, with just intelligence enough to know on which side his bread is buttered. --- —. IL de Charge, a country gentleman, and a supporter of the opposition *end/date. M. Lepine, so elector 98 years old, stone deaf ►nd nearly blind, but entertaining lively recollections of the principles of 'B9. M. Delavand, government osndidate. M. de Bandy, opposition candidate. M. Silvain Roy, a "devoted" elector. Members of the bureaus, commissaries of police, justices of the pram, kc. On May 31, when the bureau of St. Hilaire was assembled to proceed to the general elections, some time was lost in waiting for the mayor. K de Chergi, an elector who, although a supporter of the opposition candidate, was on terms of courte ous private acquaintance with the mayor, proposed that the bureau should proceed to business and leave a blank for the president. While the discus sion was going on the mayor came in, and was playfully reproached by M. de Chergd for being late, but told at the same time that his natural place of president of the bureau was reserved for him. The mayor, however, feeling somewhat in disposed, gave up the chair to his assistant, M. Henault, and attended the bureau only in the capacity of a private elector. But his worship was in a very ill-humour, and upbraided M. de Chergo for having placed a lad at the door to distribute bulletins for the opposition candidate, M. de Bondy. M. de Chergd replied to the mayor that he had only done what the law allowed him, and that if his worship thought otherwise, he might make a note on the minutes of the proceedings and get the question tried. This irritated the mayor, who knew as well as M. de Cherg6 that there was no question whatever, and that opposition candi dates have just the same right as legal candidates to circulate their bulletins. But, as a matter of fact, M. de Chergif deposed that so great was the terror of the mayor and other authorities that he could not get any tradesman in the village of St. Hi laire, nor even one of his own servants, to distribute M. de Bondy's voting papers. He was obliged to select for that purpose a little boy who had not the consciousness of the risk he was running. As swim the little boy had taken up his station at the door of the voting place, M. Pouget, the garde chain 'Are, who was distributing the government candi date's bulletins, began to intimidate him. and told him that he should not stand there twenty minutes. Shortly after the poll was opened a grey-headed elector named Ldpine, nearly 100 years old, ap proached the bureau with a bundle of bulletice in his hand, and begged that some one would be good enough to tell him s hick was M. de Bondy's ticket, as he could not see. After several people had refused to help him K de Chergi, who knew the man, went up to him, led him out of the office, and indicated the bulletin he wanted. Thereupon M. Silvain Roy, an elector, told the garde champetre who was haras sing the little boy at the door that he would be more in his place inside, where "atrocities" were going on, and where M. de Chergd had been "cul tivating" au elector. Upon this hint Pouget, the garde champaltre, went inside, and being hounded on by the mayor and his assistant, who told him significantly that he "knew his instructions," he went up to K de Chergd, then performing his duties at the bureau, and told him that be was his prisoner, and must come along with him to the commissary of police. On M. de Chergd refusing to go, Pouget repeatedly threatened that he would bring two gendarmes, and take him away forcibly. Thus threatened, K de Chergd at length gathered up his papers, said he would go before the commissary of police, and hastily rushed out of the office. M. de Chergi had a horse—the garde champetre had none. He entreated the mayor to lend him one, but this functionary, who, although vindictive, was prudent withal, began to think be had gone too far, and, determining to leave the responsibility of the arrest upon the poor mooncalf the garde champetre, refused the loan of a horse. The man got one at last from the landlord of an inn, and spurred after K de Charge as hard as he could. The latter, however, who had a great objection to be seen by his friends and tenants in custody, especially on a Sunday afternoon, got to the commissary of police first. The latter laughed at the charge, and dismissed it. Nevertheless K de Cho*, to vindicate a principle, instituted a prosecution for false imprisonment against the garde champetre, and the result of the trial fully justifies him. Pouget is indeed ac quitted, but only on the ground that he had no evil intention, and blindly executed what he sup ' posed to be tbe orders of his superiors. The pre ' aiding judge distinctly and repeatedly censured the I conduct of the mayor and his adjoint, and said over and over again that M. de Chergd, in placing • the little boy at the door of the mayoralty to dis tribute bulletins, and pointing out the bulletin of M. de Bondy to the deaf and short-sighted elector, had only exercised the plainest amid most un doubted rights of every elector, and that it was disgraceful in the mayor and his subordinates to stir up an ignorant man like the garde champetre to molest him.

THE SMALLEST CRAFT THAT EVER CROSSED THE ATLANTIC. TO THE EDITOR OF THE EXPIIIIBI. Stn.,—There bag been a great deal of talk lately about small craft crossing the Atlantic. The kw Captain Adam Keilock, who commanded the Himalaya when she belonged to the Peninsular and Oriental Company, not only aroused the Atlantic, but passed round the stormy Cape Horn in a small vessel called the Little Henry, am idderably under 50 tons burden.

Tim SUPPLY OF GOAL—Much misapprehension appears to have been occasioned by that pert of Sir W. . Arnistron's address at the opening of the British Asap. I elation meeting at Newcastle regarding the reeourom of our coalfields. It seems in many quarters to have been sup. pned that when the president spoke of the probable ex• haustion in about two centuries, he was referring to the coal supply of the whole kingdom; whereas he distinctly limited the remark to the coalfield of Durham and Northum berland, in the immediate neighbourhood. As regards the supply from all our coalfields, the time for exbanstios demanded was much more extended. "As regards the absolute quantity of mineral fuel in this island," writes Mr. Hull, of the Geological Survey, "it may he considered as emetically inexhaustible. The seams of coal outcrop to ear coalfields, and descend under the Permian and Triassic formations to depths exceeding 10,0(10 fat. The question of the available supply is therefore one depending on the rapidity of production and the limit of depth. For the pre sent however. and for geseratiosa to come, the commerelel and maritime supremacy of Great Britain Is in DO lung of being impaired for ray want of end."

A Very large number of people intended to go from Manchester 'ad the surrounding districts.

It woo estimated that there were above 80,000 people present when Taylor, the Manchester murderer, was hanged, and that crowd was surnamed in numbers today. With regard to the calming themselves, we may state that they h a y, lately, one and all, seemed penitent. Alvarez and Thome' lost the callow and indifferent berried which they m a t. fasted in the early part of their confinement. Thomas, it may be remembered, feigned madness during his trial, bet his conduct during the past week confirms the opinion of the surgeon of the gaol that his mind was never affected. Thomas, when informed that the efforts which had been made on his behalf were 11011Ueeeerf al, received the intelligence with apparent resignation. The Rev. 31 r , Hughes sad the Rev. Mr. Saunders, Welsh dimentieg mioisters, have had frequent interviews with Thomas, and two or three days ago he also received a visit Irma an old schoolfellow, who called again yesterday, but as Thomas expressed his nnwillingeess to see him, Captain Gibbs (the governor of the gaol) did not allow as interview to Oka place. . . . O'Brien has not been visited by any relatives or friend., bat Mr. Gibson, the Roman catholic chaplain of the gaol, has been most assiduous in by attentions to him.

About 100,000 persous were present. O'Brien exhibited a defiant been-lag, the others were calm, submissive, and prayerful. The followiog are the various murders : connected with the Benjamin Thomas lodged with Mn. Rowlands, the wife of a merchant osptain, and was slightly in her debt. Bo bad envied to go to sea in a ship for which • man surd Cromthwaite mu acting as shipping-muter, and, in WOW queries of that engagement, received an advance note, which he lodged with the deceased as security for the money that he owed her. Be afterwards expressed an nowilling -116111 to sail in the ship ; and Mrs. Rowlands, who was aware that in the event of his failing to go on board at the sp. pointed time the advance note would become worthless, made repeated attempts to overcome this unwillingness, and toU him distinctly that if he did not join the ship be would be seat to prison for three months. On the 12th of May she was ressoaiog with him in the Walsh language, when the prisoner suddenly roes, went into the cellar, and called to the deceased to come after him. She followed him immediately, and while sbe was in the cellar be at. tacked her with • heavy wooden instrument called a " potato masher," and mangled her heed and face dread fully. She died immediately.

Jose Maria Alvarez, another of the murderers, was walk. lag along Old Hall-street, Liverpool, on the 12th of May last, as were also Jinn= Harrison, and a man named Cohen. Cohen accidentally jostled the prisoner, and immediately offered him an apology. Alvarez appeared very mach enraged, spoke a few words in Spanish. drew hi knits or dagger, and stabbed Cohen twice. He first wounded him in the back and then in the breast ; but neither of the in juries in this case proved fatal. As soon as Harriers heard his friend cry out, and became aware of what bad happened, he ►ttempted to arrest the pt miner, but Alvarez resisted, and wounded him twit. One of these wounds was a very seems one in the abdomen, of which the unfortunate man died. Harrison fell in the street, and the prisoner went away.

Having done this be succeeded in getting ►way, but was shortly afterwards appro. heeded by the police.

Thin feeling towards his wife took s muiderosi shape on April 30, on the morning of which day he got up, went to her bedside, and asked her to give him a shilling.
