In Rome, the working classes were not enumerated ; in the Domesday-book, and even in some modern states, they are only counted by the as head ; but i n E ngland they are all taken down in the census b oo k s b y name, and treated precisely on the same footi ng persons of the highest rank. Another peculiarity of th e E ng li s h census consists in its being taken by paid enumerators in one day. This is done to make the operation almost photo graphic, so that each individual may be counted only once ; but it adds to the difficulty of this apparently simple but really complex and vast operation. England and Wales have been divided into 30,441 districts, to each of which an enumerator has been appointed, as well as 501 to the large institutions. They work under 2,192 district registrars and 631 superintendent registrars. To each officer minute printed instructions, suggested by the experience of the last census, have- been given by the registrar-general; and all have been supplied with appropriate books and schedules suitable to their districts through the Post-office, the railways, and the Parcels Delivery Company ; and the papers thus distributed with strict regard to economy, weigh more than 45 tons. The enumerators are a highly respectable body, and include clergymen and many other professional men, who have undertaken the work from public motives. But the success of the operation depends not so much on the registrar -general, on his officers, or on the enumerators, as on the four or five mil lion heads of families in every part of the land. Some of these. of course, are not in a position to understand the measure; and the co-operation of all the educated classes, particularly of the clergy, of medical men, and of public writers in the press, is indispensable to the complete success of the seventh census.: If the influential classes of society will expend a part of the interval between this date and the Bth of April in explaining the measure, in disseminating information among the poorer classes, and in persuading them to furnish exact returns, the operation will undoubtedly be as successful as it was in 1851, when the census was taken without the infliction of a single fine under the penal clauses of the act of parliament. Census-office, London, March 25. The following are the headings into which the form to be filled up is divided:- 1. Name and Surname.—No person absent on the night of Sunday, April 7th, to be entered here ; except those who may be travelling or out at work during that night, and who return home on Monday, April Bth. Write after the name of the head of the family the names of his wife, children, and other relatives ; then visitors, &C., and servants. 2.

Condition.—Write either "married," " widower," " widow," or " unmarried," against the names of all persona except young children. 4. Sex.—Write "DI" against males, and "F" against females. 5. Age (Last Birthday). —For infants under one year, state the age in months, writing " under 1 month," "1 month," " 2 months," &c. G. Rank, profession, or occupation. 7. Where Born.—Opposite the names of those born in England, write the county, and town or parish. If born in Scotland, Ireland, the British Colonies, or the East Indies, state the country. If born in foreign parts state the coun try ; and if also a British subject add " British subject," or "naturalised British subject," as the case may be. S. If Deaf and Dumb or Blind—Write "Deaf and Dumb," or " Blind," opposite the name of the person ; and if so from birth, add "from birth." Thd following general instruction will accompany each form to be filled up by the occupier or person in charge of the dwelling.

For it is . obvious that if any Japanese laws are to be upheld as against foreigners in Japan, the local authorities must have some power of arresting those who are engaged in committing offences. This you yourselves admit in some degree, and such authority cannot be denied them, either in justice or reason. It has, in fact, always been conceded in all countries where similar privileges are granted as those stipulated for here. This may be indiscreetly exercised, and like most other things, is liable to abuse;, but so far as this port is con.. cerned, it will be my duty to use every exertion to provide against both the one and the other—not to protest against the reasonable end proper use of such provisional authority. It only remains to reply to your remarks on the prohi bition to carry ostentatiously about the persor, revolvers and other fire-arms during the day. lam constrained to differ from you both as to the alleged necessity for this practice and its utility. The assassinations you refer to were after sunset, The only two murderous attacks which have taken place in the daytime (both at Yeddo) were .cases where it was notorious the parties attacked invariably carried re volvers. Each, of them had one or more in their belts with loaded barrels at the very moment that one was thrust through his body by his assassin, and some months later when another was wounded by a sword cut. If the arms they carried were not provocations, at least it is evident they were no prate against attack. - And any. immu nity from such attempts on life at Yokohama, during the last six months, I believe to be attributable to quite other causes than the display of revolvers. I would fain hope that those among you who most desire the establishment of amicable and permanent relations in this country, will see, upon reflection, that - nothing can so little tend to this object as au open disregard of the laws and customs of the Japanese, or a belligerent and offensive attitude of perpetual menaces. They who would live in peace and security in foreign countries must ever have regard to the prejudices of a people, as well as their laws and established customs. When you speak of sumptuary laws, which might be rendered obligatory upon you, in a manner at once vexa tious and injurious, I think you may fairly be called upon to wait until you have experience of any such attempt; No Japanese law can be enforced against you by legal pro cess, except with consent of the British authorities, and by their action you may reasonably be required, therefore, to show that one such law, contrary to your true interests and the reasonable exigencies of the Government of the country, has been admitted as binding and obligatory. You come here for trade, you come as pioneers, and in some sense as the representatives of British commerce and nationality ; but if you come with muskets and bayonets, or revolvers, as the proper implements of a mercantile pioneer, you come under conditions never contemplated in the treaty, and under conditions, let me finally observe, much more likely to provoke collision than to conduce to the only object for which your right of residence in Japan was sought. If conflicts should unfortunately result from any want of due consideration for the national peculiarities of an Eastern race, and a wilful violation of laws or customs, which do not interfere with the full enjoyment of all the treaty rights necessary to the prosecution of peaceful and commercial objects, you will be disowned, alike by the people and the Government of your own country, neither of which will consent to be dragged into a long and doubtful war for the sake of supporting a few in. dividuals in overriding the laws, customs, or even the pre judices of a whole nation, in matters indifferent and con trary to the best interests of both parties. Against such a contingency, it is my duty, as I know it to be the determination of her Majesty's Minister at Yeddo, to guard by every means, and therefore I have told you in my notification, and must again repeat;—you may not shoot because the law of Japan forbids it, and your own laws bear out the prohibition which the Go vernment refuses to license. You may not carry revol vers at your belt between sunrise and sunset, while engaged in the peaceful occupation of a merchant, buy ing or selling—because, while it fails to give the protec tion you seek to secure, there is reason to believe it tends directly to provoke a breach of the peace in many cases and the very danger you apprehend. And, lastly, Chinese servants under the protection of the British flag must not be allowed to ride down Japanese in the streets, and therefore must not ride a all; because it is in the first place an unnecessary and motiveless violation of the laws and customs of the country, and in the second place be cause by such absolute prohibition alone the danger is to be effectually averted. I trust you will receive this full answer to your letter as a proof of my desire to show you that any action en my part has had your security and welfare in view, and is not an arbitrary exercise of authority.—l have, &c., (Signed) F. HOWARD VISE, H.B.M.'s Acting Consul for Kanagawa. To Messrs. A. J. Macpherson, H. Bush, W. J. Aspiaall, and others, Yokohama. THE BRI2I rB R IN JAPAN. The following is Consul Vyse's reply to the remonstrance of the British merchants in Japan : British Consulate, Kanagawa, Dec. 13, 1860. Gentlemen,—l have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 10th inst., protesting against the terms of a notification issued from this consulate on the sth of this month. I have given careful consideration to ali you have seen fit to urge; and although I do not feel called upon to enter into a long discussion on points of law with those under my jurisdiction, I am quite willing to show that the action taken in all that concerns your interest or secu rity is just and reasonable, and that I am not leas bound than you are yOurselves to act in accordance with• the law, and the treaties under which all foreigners reside in Japan. Your observations bear chiefly on two points, in which you conceive erroneously—as I hope to satisfy you—firstly, that I have misconstrued the obligations of the law as it affects you, under the treaty of Yeddo and the Queen's Order in Council; and secondly, that your interests and security are damaged by the requirements made upon you in the notification. Quoting the Order in Council, you state that no act done by a British subject can be taken to be a crime, misdemeanour, or offence, which if done in England would not be punishable by law ; and then apparently you draw the inference that you may violate any laws of Japan with impunity, provided the particular act or law violated could not be shown to be contrary to the law of England. To carry out this argument to its legitimate conclusion, it would follow that the Government of Japan has made a treaty, by which foreigners are privileged to come within their territory and outrage or trample under foot all laws and customs of the country which may not happen to be in accordance with those of another race or nation; and to do so wholly regardless of the obvious inconvenience and danger to society, by an immunity which not only would expose the laws of the State to continual infraction, but must unavoidably expose its Government to degradation in the eyes of their own subjects, to the sub • version of all order. Can it for a moment be supposed that the high contract ing parties on either side ever contemplated this as the necessary or legitimate consequence of the treaties ? Is there any nation on which such an obligation could be im posed, except as the result of utter defeat and conquest ? or would any Government listen to proposals for a treaty de clared to have this object, or by any possibility calculated to have this effect ? The monstrous nature of the result to which such a claim as you now put forward would necessarily lead is enough to negative it. It is one which in effect woull leave the Japanese Government not only power less against the infraction of their laws and customs, but make the presence of foreigners one continued outrage to those feelings of self-respect and independence which a high-spirited people, long isolated from the rest of the world, like the Japanese, are most prone to exaggerate. It is quite clear such a position would be wholly unten able, and nothing could possibly be more disastrous to foreigners than a pretension to maintain it. Let us rather turn to the consideration of what is the position of Christians in infidel countries. Such as it is, we owe to a concession, on the part of their ruler, of a sovereign and absolute right of jurisdiction within their own territory, and this by a fiction of exterri torality. It is, in a word, what that of a duly accredited Public minister of a foreign State at the present day is in all Europe. I presume you will scarcely desire that your privileges should be greater, or your immunities from local jurisdiction more ample. Still less can you suppose it was the aim of the British treaty to place you in any higher position, in furtherance of its declared objects of amity and commerce. What is the position of such a Minister in Europe ? He is not justiceable to the tribunals of the country in which he resides, whatever crime or offence he may be charged with. Neither are you. By the tribunals and laws of his own country alone can he be made amenable to justice. This also is your case. But do you from this infer that a Minister is at liberty to violate the laws and outrage the customs of the country in which he is permitted to reside, because these may have no counter part in his own? If he escaped being stoned or slain in the streets by the people he thus outraged, it would simply be that the Government of the State would require and enforce his immediate departure out of the country, as incompatible with the public peace, and refuse to allow him to return. And they would do this in th. exercise of a right which has never been disputed between This is the remedy against the abuse of a privilege con ceded only for just and reasonable ends. So, if even a Minister in Europe, with all his recognised immunities, is found risking the lives of native subjects, or endangering the peace, his arrest, however temporary, is a liability he will assuredly incur by reason of his own acts; for the law of self-preservation confers rights upon States as well as individuals. The laws and customs of !apan, then, even when not similar to our own, must be respected when they involve no sacrifice of treaty rights or interests. You can claim no right wilfully to violate them, to the prejudice and contrary to the remonstrances of the Govern ment; and if you do, it is impossible to deny their right in return to demand redress, and, if persevered in, your de portation ; because such conduct would be manifestly the abuse, and not the proper use, of the privileges conceded by treaty for quite other objects. To apply this to shooting at this port, and riding of Chinese servants—the one is contrary to the dictated law, and the other to the custom of Japan. The first is no less contrary to the law in England, where no one is permitted b shoot without a Government license. To do so is to commit a punishable offence. Here the Govern ment refuses, for reasons which it deems good and suffi cient, to give such license. So also, as you must be aware, no one can trespass over the land of another in England without committing an actionable offence. Yet both these acts, I repeat, have been deliberately committed by divers foreigners, British and others, in spite of distinct warnings in official notifications. The riding of Chinese servants is precisely one of those sumptuary laws to which you refer (and which law, be it observed en passant), the Japanese have not hitherto at least expressed any desire to enforce. Two Japanese have been only lately, in successive days, ridden over and either killed or grievously injured. Are such things to be tolerated ?—and if not, where is the remedy? You will s 9 y, arrest the offenders and punish them. Who is to arrest them ? Foreign Powers keep no police in Japan. And the servants' masters will not, it seem, exercise proper control, or they never would have suffered them to career about on horseback. Both the oft'enden in the recent cases have'escaped inden tification and punishment. And so it will be in 9 cases out of 10, even if the Japanese were urged to be more vigilant and resolute. So it was with shooting. How were the offenders to be identified ? Reiterated complaints were made by the Japanese Government that guns were levelled at the offi cers by foreigners, when the former sought the means of identification, At last the attempt to secure them led to an event which does more to endanger the security of life and property than any of the acts of which you show yourselves so sensitive, and so anxious lest they should cur tail your legitimate freedom of action. But, in point of fact, what you are really contending for is the right to put aside all effective effort on the part of the authorities of the enutry to maintain respect for their laws, as the foreign TILE STEAMSHIP ADRIATIC. SOUTHAMPTON, March 27. The steamship Adriatic, Captain Jefferson Maury, which arrived here on Sunday morning from New York, and is now the property of the Atlantic Royal Mail Com pany, was taken to Stokes Bay to-day for an official trial trip before entering on the mail service under the British flag. She made four runs on the mea sured mile with the following results :—First run, 4 min. 31 sec, equal to 13284 knots per hour; second, 3 min. 18 sec., or 13.181 knots ; third, 4 min. 20 see d , or 13.846 knots ; fourth, 3 min. 21 secs., or 1 r 910 knots; giving a mean speed of 15.908 knots per hour. Revolutions of engines during trial, 17 to 18; pressure of steam, 251 b.; vacuum, 251 b., with surface condensers. Draught of water forward, 17 feet 2 inches ; aft, 18 feet 10 inches ; 110 tons of coals on board. The usual authorities of the Admiralty and Board of Trade were present to witness the trial, together with some of the company's officials and a few other scientific gentlemen. The Adriatic goes into dry dock on Thursday to be surveyed, and will leave for Galway in the course of a few days. It is ex pected that she will take the mails from that port on the 9th of April. This fine steamship has excited much attention among nautical men during the time she has been lying in our docks, her beautiful lines, as well as the extent and splendour of her internal arrangements, being much admired by all who have paid her a visit. An iron paddle wheel steamer, built for the new Southampton and Isle of Wight Steamship Company, was launched at noon to-day from the premises of her builder, Mr. Kerman, at Millbrook, about two miles distant from this place. This boat is being constructed on a plan patented by Mr. W. H. Muntz, of Mill brook-lodge, and another vessel, somewhat similar in principle, built for the same station, was launched a fortnight since from the works of the Thames Iron Shipbuilding Company at Blackwell. The latter ship is named the Lord of the Isles, and the one launched the day is christened the American. The vessels of which the American will be a type are built with flush decks, level with and suppor ted on the gunwales, the decks overhanging the sides of the hull to the width of the outside of the paddlewheels. On this overhanging part the pas sengers cabins are placed, and between them and the engine-room, which occupies the centre of the vessel, is the necessary accommodation for carriages, horses, and cattle. There i s a p romen ade deck over the cabin, which may, where desired, also be carried over the carri age an d ca ttl e deck. The vessel is steered by means of a helm at either end, both worked by one wheel. Com munication with the shore is effected by a floating dummy, with a deck about the same level as the flush deck of the steamer, and this dummy, which is attached to the landing-place, rises and falls with the tide. This is the fir s t introduction into this country of the principle of the American lake and river steamers, and the chief merit s c l a i me d f or th e invention are the superiority of accommodation for pleasure traffic, enabling passengers to enjoy freer ventilation and uninterrupted views of the adjacent land and water scenery through the ranges of win dows 84c. in the cabins, and also enabli ng th e vesse l s t o , without risk of carry danger, h o of h dispensingr e e s , v a c a y ttt tow-boats. cattle, bi carriages , toha t st h. eThe accompani mentse Lord of the Isles will be ready for the station in the course of two or three weeks, and will shortly be followed by the American, which two vessels will ru n d ur i ng .the has been appointed a present season, two more being propo se d t o b e a dd e d to the fleet in the succeeding year.

REPRESENTATION OF SOUTH LANCASHIRE. A numerous and influential meeting of the Liberal electors of South Lancashire was held yesterday afternoon at Newton•in-the-Willows to promote the nomination of the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone. Mr. 0. Heywood, of Manchester, was called upon to preside. The CHAIRMAN said he should have the utmost pleasure in voting for Mr. Gladstone, although there might be many points of difference of opinion be tween the right hon. gentleman and himself. Mr. Gladstone was a man who would not hesitate to vote in the House of Commons in accordance with his convictions ; and he (Mr. Heywood) felt when such a man's views were mainly those which he himself entertained, he could heartily support him without seeking to tie him down to specific pledges on this or that subject. (Applause.) Mr. W. EARLE (of Liverpool) moved the follow ing resolution : " That the position occupied by Mr. W. E. Gladstone as onelof the first statesmen and orators in Europe, the extensive knowledge he possesses of the commercial wants of the country, the impor tant part he has taken in its fiscal legislation, and the popular opinions he has expressed on foreign policy, recommend him as a fit and proper repre sentative of the views and interests of South Lan cashire in the House of Commons." Mr. J. CHEETHAM, who was loudly cheered, said it was with the greatest pleasure that he heard the name of the gentleman who was proposed as a can didate after he (Mr. Cheetham) had himself declined to contest the seat. Perhaps he had, more than many gentlemen present, had an opportunity of knowing something of Mr. Gladstone's qualifica tions. Having watched that gentleman's career for some years past, he would say that Mr. Gladstone had made upon him the strongest impression of any of the rising statesmen of the day. He was pro posed on the present occasion, however, more on account of his knowledge of the commercial wants of the country than because he was the first orator in Europe. Mr. Gladstone had invariably, since he accepted the office in 1852, shown the greatest sym pathy with the commercial and manufacturing inte rests of the country, and had shown himself at all times ready to listen to the advice of men repre senting this great county. He had displayed the deepest interest in the progress of that great portion of her Majesty's subjects concerning whose industry, talent, enterprise, and capital it was not too much to say that upon them depended, in a great degree, the solidity and welfare of the empire at large. There were doubtless some things in which Mr. Gladstone did not go to the full extent that was desirable, but from year to year he had been slowly and steadily advancing in the path which his best friends approved, and in process of time had taken more and more of a liberal tone in thought and feeling. He (Mr. Cheetham) believed the very best thing that could be done for Mr. Gladstone would be to sever his connection with Oxford—(laughter) —and the next best thing would be to unite him to a constituency eo closely identified with commerce, liberal opinions, and progress as South Lancashire. (Cheers.) He had great pleasure in seconding the resolution. Mr. J. PLATT (Oldham) said they had in Mr. Gladstone not only a Lancashire man, but one whose feelings and interests were identified with the pros perity of that county. In speaking of that county they spoke of the life-blood almost of England; because, however they might be accused of self flattery, whatever was noble, generous, and far sighted in the interests of this country generally emanated from South Lancashire. (Laughter and cheers.) The last session of Parliament was of itself sufficient to establish Mr. Gladstone's claims. There might be difference of opinion as to the motives of France in the negotiation of the commercial treaty, but there could be none as to the motives of Mr. Gladstone and those with whom he was associated in the undertaking. Although at the present time no great results had flown from that treaty, the day could not be far distant when most important con sequences would issue from it. It was no matter in whatever light Mr. Gladstone's character might be viewed—they all saw now that he was for the on ward course, and there was nothing that would more assist to push him on than making him a representative of South Lancashire. (Cheers.) Mr. H. MASON said the polling district of Ashton• under-Lyme would rally round Mr. Glad stone as heartily and successfully as it had supported the Liberal candidates on former occasions. As a man entirely bound up with com merce, he (Mr. Mason) was glad to see a gentle man brought forward having the high commercial qualifications of Mr. Gladstone, but he did not see why there should be anything like a divorce be tween the gentlemen of the land and the gentlemen of cotton factories, seeing that the interests of both classes were thoroughly identified. He believed it was only because there was not a proper diffusion of information among either class that the landed and the commercial interests were to some extent disunited in the South Lancashire election battles, and he thought they should expect in the approach ing contest a more cordial co-operation between the two. (Applause.) Mr. G. WILSON, who was greeted with loud cheers, said he might take the opportunity—as having been the chairman of the committee of the Liberal candidates for South Lancashire at every election since the first (in 1832), and as it had been his privilege to support men whose opinions differed very much from Mr. Gladstone's on many points— of showing why he thought he was not inconsis tent in supporting the right hon. gentleman on this occasion. From the first moment of hearing his name mentioned as a candidate he (Mr. Wilson) never asked a question as to how far Mr. Glad stone's views might correspond with his own. He knew that on many questions they did not. It was no disparagement to Mr. Gladstone to say that although, if he were himself in the House of Com mons, he (Mr. Wilson) might very frequently go into the opposite lobby from the right hon. gentle man, yet he believed Mr. Gladstone would be one of the most suitable representatives of South Lan cashire. It could not be ignored that from the first mention of his name as a candidate an electric shock of approval had passed through the minds of Liberals of all classes in that constituency. They took the man, not perhaps as they could like him to be on all questions, but they took him as he was — not perhaps merely as the greatest member of the present Government, whose genius far eclipsed all the rest of his colleagues, but because they believed there was a great future in Mr. Glad stone, which the act of the Liberal party in this constituency to-day might promote the realisa tion of. He agreed with Mr. Cheetham that Ox ford was not the proper place for Mr. Gladstone to represent. The connection between Mr. Gladstone and that University had been most honourable, and if he (Mr. Wilson) were a scholar the representa tion of Oxford would be the object of his highest preference; but he must concur in the opinion that Oxford University, at this time, was not the constituency from which we should take our rising statesmen in a nation which existed entirely in the prosperity of its trade, manufactures, and agricul ture. (Cheers.) Mr. M'CORQUODALE said he would be very happy to support Mr. Gladstone, though he could not con scientiously have voted for the Liberal candidates proposed at the last election. . _ A letter was read from Mr. J. P. Hey Wood, one of the unsuccessful Liberal candidates at the last election, expressing a hope that the Liberals would be united in the contest. The resolution was unanimously adopted. Mr. BAZLEY, M.P., gave some explanations as to the result of the deputation of Liverpool gentlemen to ascertain the disposition of Mr. Gladstone. He said those gentlemen went to London on a voyage of discovery, having in their eye the promontory " Gladstone," How to approach that promontory PRICE 4D . STAMPED, SD. was a matter of difficulty, because Mr. Gladstone, as a gentleman of delicacy of mind and the highest honour, on being informed of the object of the de putation, said Lancashire had not the seat to offer, and he was not in a position to receive gentlemen on that subject. The deputation, therefore, placed themselves in communication with the ,Liberal members of the House of. Commons, who said their best course was to take care to present to the right hon. gentleman a requisition that would be irresis tible. The Liberal members would, in that case, recommend Mr. Gladstone to place himself in the bands of his political friends who would enforce upon him as a duty the acceptance of the invita tion. (Cheers.) A resolution pledging the meeting to the support of Mr. Gladstone was carried, and spoken to by Mr. Hadfield, M,P., Mr. E, Potter, and other gen tlemen of influence. THE FORTE COMING CENSUS. The following official memorandum on some of the objects and uses of the census of 1861 has been issued, and will be read with interest. It may be stated that there will be no investigation as to the " religious profession" of any one. That inquiry, when proposed last year, having been met with general disapproval, was abandoned by the Govern ment. The census concerns every individual in the British Isles. Early in April a schedule will be left with the occupier of every house and apartment ; and shortly after sunrise, on Monday, Bth April, 30,441 enumerators in England and Wales will begin their calls at every house and collect the schedules which they have previously left, filling up those of persons who have been unable to write. A similar army will perform a precisely similar opera tion in Scotland, Ireland, and Australia. It is sometimes asked, why is the seventh census to be taken ? What is the use of the information to be collected? The injunction " know thyself" is as binding on nations as oh individuals, and self. knowledge is in both cases as useful as it is difficult to acquire. The householder takes some note of the members of his family; the merchant takes stock ; and governments count the numbers of their people. The population of a country is not only of great interest in science, but it is a piece of infor mation with which every educated person is familiar, and is indeed the primary heading in every elementary book of geography. That the population may be correctly known, the census must be taken. The usefulness of information of this kind is shown by the demand for the London and other directories, court guides, law lists, and peerages. The census su ppli es ma t er i a l s f or a na tional directory, in which the names of every Englishman will be found inscribed. But the in formation in these national books will be more comprehensive than that in the directories ; for after the names of the inmates in each inhabited house, their sex, age, corjugal condition, occupa tion, and birthplace, will be writt e n. Th us , by an analysis of the returns, the population can be classified. We can learn the number of males and females living at different ages, distinguishing those married and unmarried, and those who fabri cate in every variety of industry the infinite number of valuable products in these islands. A knowledge of these facts about the English people would in itself be useful and gratifying to a liberal curiosity ; precisely as is an acquaintaince with the plants and minerals and animals of the world, and the stars of the heavens, whose " multitudes " have been catalogued by scientific men. It is moreover well established that the relations of men to each other, and all their acts, are governed by laws of universal interest, which can be deduced from the observations of which the census supplies the most essential part. Some of these laws are too recon dite for casual discussion, but the doctrine of population may be referred to as of obvious importance. The area of these islands is limited, and it is a matter of no small inter est to know bow many mouths there are to be fed, at what rates they are increasing, and how they are likely to increase by subsisting marriages— how many are dependent on the several kinds of industry, deriving materials from the produce of the soil, or from the wider fields of foreign com merce. The census supplies answers to all these questions, and shows how population is increased or diminis4d by marriages at different ages, by the different species of industry, and by emigra tion to our vast colonial possessions. The numbers' of fighting men, as well as intelligence and wealth, determine the position England holds in the pre sence of the other great powers of Europe ; and are the measure of the influence which it can exert iu the cause of freedom all over the world. The census displays to her enemies the force invaders have to dread, and to friendly States the numbers of their friends in England. _ The first census was taken under Mr. Pitt's administration in 1801. It was the year of the Union with Ireland ; a year of famine, and a year •f Ean guin ary war with France, having the northern confederacy for its allies. The population of Great Britain was estimated at 7,392,000 in 1751. Ma nufactures and the large towns increased, but emigration was commencing, and some country villages were deserted. Goldsmith sang : 111 fares the land, to hastening ills a prey, Where wealth accumulates and men decay ; Princes and lords may flourish or may fade, A breath can make them, as a breath has made : But a bold peasantry, their country's pride,: When once destioyed, can never be supplied. And Dr. Price contended that there was an abso lute decay of the population. This gave rise to a protracted controversy, which, in the critical state of the country, it was important to settle. The population of Great Britain was then enumerted in 1801, and amounted to 10,917,000, and with that of Ireland united with her, made above 16,000,000. This was a triumphant reply to the doubts of those who despaired of their country. Notwithstanding the war the popu lation increased, as the census showed, at the rate of two to three millions every ten years until 1841. a: Then immense emigration took place ; there was depopulating fami ne i n I re l an d , which had an imperfect poor law, and cholera was epidemic; yet the population of Great Britain was augmented by 2,308,000, and although the popula tion of Ireland fell off, the people of the United Kingdom amounted to 27,724,000 in 1851. Since that date there have been great emigrations, and an epidemic of cholera ; but the marriages have in creased, the births have exceeded the deaths, and the mortality of the towns has been diminished by sanitary measures. An increase of the population may be expected; but its extent and the particular classes which have increased or declined—in towns or in the country—can only be determined by the census to be taken on the Bth of April. The " num ber of souls," in the expressive language of the old writers, will then be known, and will remind the nation of the extent of the institutions for the advancement of education, religion, and justice, re quired to keep pace with its numbers. The infor mation which the census supplies admits of innu merable practical applications. It is absolutely necessary for determining the state of the public health ; and by pointing out the immense varia tions in the rate of mortality, and the intensity of diseases under different circumstances, will lead to the removal of the real causes of national suffering and decay. In the same way, by comparing the crimes committed by different classes of the popu lation with their numbers, the prevalence of crime may be discovered and diminished; which, when criminals are no longer transported, is a matter of immense importance. The frequency with which reference is made in both Houses of the Legisla ture, at public boards, and municipal bodies, to the varying population of the towns, counties, and several divisions of the country, demonstrates the propriety of obtaining all the information accu rately which the census supplies for public pur poses. The census was taken by the legislators of antiquity, and by the practical Romans ; it is now carried out in every civilized country. But the Eng lish census has in it some peculiarities. It has no connection whatever with rates and taxes. There is nothing approaching to a poll-tax in England,and no one has anything to dread from the census. in quiries. There is no conscription in England,and even the ballot for the militia is forgotten; the services by sea and by land being filled by volunteers. The inquiry elicits no real secrets, as the information asked of each man is known approximately to all his friends ; and even in the delicate matter of ye ars numbered by gentlemen, or even by ladies of a certain age, it is found, that although many may look, they are never thought younger than they are by other people ; so that to tell the truth is the right and the prudent course to pursue. The re turns of age, and indeed the whole of the facts, it is officially announced, ere to be treated as confi dential, and neither to be used to a person's disad vantage her to gratify "idle curiosity."
