And notice is hereby further given, that the said Meeting will be made Special for the purpose of considering and determining on the propriety of dividing and converting the 50i. shares in the Midland Railway Company into two shares, one of the nominal value of 33/. 6s. Bd., and the other of the nominal value of 161. 135.4 d., under the provisions of the " Midland Railway (Capital) Act, 1551," and of taking such orders wid giving such directions thereon as may be thought proper. And notice is hereby flirther given, that the said Meeting will also be made Special for the purpose of considering the underwritten re quisition, which has been served upon the Directors of the Midland It a Tway Company by certain SharehoDler , therein, regarding the al lowance of the free passage of proprietors along the line, to attend General and Special General Meet ngs. JOAN ELLIS, Chairman of the Board of Directors. SAMUEL BEALE, Deputy Chairman. By order, J. F. BELL, Sec. Derby, July 26, 1851. (Copy.) To the Chairman and Directors of the Midland Railway Company. We, the undersigned Provirietors in the Midland Railway Company ?! 1 :111est you will give notice, that at the next Half- y earl y Meeting of the Proprietors, it will be proposed to discontinue the practice of al "ring the free passage of Proprietors along the line to attend Ge neral and Special General Meetings. This system is one confined almost to the Midland Railway Company, and is one objectionable on may Pants. It is unjust to the Proprietors who reside at a die /lee, and are not on the line, it is liable to great abuse, and entails very considerable expense on the general resources of the Company by allowing parties who may hold ever so s mall an amount of the Stock, to pass free along the whole line at ail events twice, and it may be more frequently annually, for any purpose whatever. We the support request you will give the above notice , and we also claim supportof the Board in getting the system of such free passes abolished. Dated this 26th day of May, 1851.

RICHARD CHURCHILL, Secretary, THE GREAT SOLAR ECLIPSE It is impossible to over-rate the interest which men of all classes appear to take in the forthcoming phenomenon; millions of eyes will be directed to the one great object ' • every telescope in the parts of the world where the eclipse will be visible must he in re quest ; pails of water, smoked glasses and coloured ones, everything that can assist the sight by reflection or refraction, will be occupied by the different classes, from the philosopher to the schoolboy. There has not been such a sensation created since the building of the Great Clothes Mart of E. MOSES and SON. Then, as now, for days be fore the opening, it was in everybody's mouth , and public curiosity was on tiptoe ; nor will the surprise and gratification felt at the eclipse of the sun be greater than the astonishment of the public the first time the doors of the Mart were thrown open. Its fame spread far and wide, until it was talked of east, west, north, and south, in all qm,rters of the globe. At this time there is such a display of fashion at the Monarch Mart, that everything of the kind is ECLIPSED. E. MOSES and SON have ECLIPSED everybody who has attempted a show of dress. Every article of theirs is per fect; all, in fact, that can be wished by the most fastidious man of fashion is there in perfection, while hundreds of the best tailors in Europe are ready to make anything to measure in an incredibly short time. But Messrs. E. MOSES and SON cannot too earnestly assure their friends that the article& in stock are in all respects the same jl, quality of material, neatness and darability 4 ,..tasti-an4-43esisrniita same as if made to meaSure, and - tbat . thEonly reason fir charging more is the - making Singly instead of making a hundred or more at a time ; so that if a gentleman happens to fit himself from the stock, he has equally a first-rate article.

THE CENSUS FOR 1851. From the summaries of the 40,000 enumerators em ployed in taking the census a series of tables have been compiled, and presented to both Houses of Parliament, showing the population and houses in the divisions, registration counties, and districts of England and Wales, in the counties, cities, and burghs of Scotland, and in ;►ae Islands in the British Seas. The various accounts from which the whole has been compiled have not yet undergone final revision; but, as we are preliminarily informed, no errors sufficient to in validate the fair inferences to be drawn from these figures need be feared—careful scrutiny will only detect minute inaccuracies., From this interesting and important document it would appear that the population of Great Britain and of the Islands in the British Sea% as enumerated on March 31st, 1851, was 20,936,468; and that the part of the army, navy, and merchant service belonging to Great Britain, but out of the country when the census was taken, has been estimated from returns to have been 167,604; that of the total number of these persons, 21,104,072, 10,360,325 (including the 167,604 absent soldiers and sailors) were males, the remaining 10,743 747 females; and the preponderance of females over males 383,422. The actual increase in the intervals of the censuses between 1801 and the present year has been steady, and, till within the last interval, progressive. The total in crease in Great Britain and the Islands in the British Seas, for these fifty years, has been 10,317,917—that from 1841-51 being 2,227,438; for 1841.41, ,260,749;_ for 1an:3,11,,2 4 1,11‘542c-for 1114-91r2e182,89(iffor 11, 1,479,562. The population (thus nearly doubled) numbered, therefore, in 1801, it will be seen, 10,567,893 souls, whereas it now counts 20,936,468. This result is somewhat, but not materially, disturbed, by some varia tions at the different periods in the mode of enumerating the army and navy. Females, of course, such circum stances do not affect, and the actual increase in their number during the fifty years under review is said to have been 5,198 063, whilst that of males is computed at 5,119,854. The proportion maintained between the sexes has fluctuated considerably at the different periods quoted; from 1801-11, for instance, the increase of males was 710,922, that of females, 768,640. In the next period the scale is turned, and against an increase of males of 1,137,804 we have that of females 995,092. There were in 1801 in Great Britain and the Islands in the British Seas 5,025,035 males, 5,542,856 females. There were on March 31, 1851, excluding the absent soldiers and sailors mentioned above, 10,192,721 males, 10,743,747 females. The rate of increase per cent. for the entire population for fifty years has therefore bean 98 per cent.; the annual rate of increase per cent. in fifty years, 1,37. Of the whole number (20,936,468) thus enumerated on 31st March last, England and Wales contained 17,922,768 persons; Scotland, 2,870,784; and the Islands in the British Seas, 142,916. In each the number of females is greater than that of males. In England and Wales there were, at the enumeration, houses inhabited, 3,280,961; in Scotland, 366,650; in Islands in the British Seas, 21,826; uninhabited in England and Wales, 152,896; in Scotland, 11,956; Islands in the British Seas, 1,077; building in England and Wales, 26,534; Scotland, 2,378; Islands in the British Seas, 202. Coming next to "divisions" and "registration coun ties," the reader is somewhat puizled at the alteration here made in the position of the local landmarks on which he has been accustomed to rely. The registra tion counties, for instance, comprise groups of registra tion districts generally conterminous with poor-law unions; consequently the aggregates of such districts seldom correspond with the precise boundaries of the actual counties. According to these arrangements, the enumeration at Bristol—which is included in one division —occasions some surprise till viewed by that of Bedmin ster, which is placed in another; the apparent inconsist ency then disappears. First, then, in the London division, including parts of Middlesex, Surrey, and Kent, we have enumerated, for 1851, 2,361,640 persons, 1,103,730 of them males, 1,257,910 females. Of this total male and female, Middlesex (part of) supplies the largest proportion, 1,745,095; Surrey (part of) the next, 482,310; and Kent (part of) the third, 134,235. The London division, in 1801, contained 958,863 souls, and there has been an in crease of 1,394,963 between that time and the present. The rate of increase during the five decennial periods which it includes has not fluctuated to any remarkable extent. For the half century it has been 145.51; annual, I'Bl. - - The South-Eastern Division, made up of Surrey (ex tra metropolitan), Kent (extra metropolitan), Sussex, Hampshire, and Berkshire, contained a population in 1801 of 878,066; in 1851, 1,619,351; the increase, 741,295; and the rate of increase for the half century, 84.42. The South Midland Division—consisting of Middlesex t (extra metropolitan), Hertfordshire, B i ckingliamshire, Oxforrishire, Northamptonshlrv, Huntin onshire; Bedv fordibiii, and Cambridgeshire—which i 1801 numbered 707,322 persons, increased its population in the halt century by 526,560, and at the rate of 74'44 in the fifty years. The Eastern Division—Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk—pro grassed at the rate of increase for the half century of 59.68, its population growing from 696,223 to 1,111,701, an addition of 415,478 during that period. The South- Western Division—Wiltshire, Dorsetshire, Devonshire, Cornwall, Somersetabire—enumerating in 1801 a population of 1,100,314, shows now a difference of 697,938, having mounted up in the interval to 1,798,252, the rate of increase for the half century 63 . 43. The West Midland Division—Gloucestershire, Here- fordshire. Shropshire, Staffordshire, Worcestershire, Warkwickshire—advancing in the fifty years at the rate of 95'65, has now a population of 2,131,604, where, in 1801, it numbered only 1,089,491. The difference is 1,042,113. The North Midland Division—Leicestershire, Rut- landshire, Lincolnshire, Notts, Derbyshire—with a popu lation in 1801 of 651,197, and an increase since then of 562,791, has at present 1,213,988; the rate of increase for the period 86.42. The North-Western Division—Cheshire and Lanca shire—by an addition of 1,609,722, has prbgressed from 872,663 to 2,482,385; the rate of increase in the fifty years being 184.46. The York Division—West Riding, East Riding (with York), North Riding—advancing at the rate of 10916 in the half century, adds 934,397 to its population of 1801, and has now 1,785,680. The Northern Division—Durham, Cumberland, West moreland—shows an increase for the fifty years at the rate of 98.47—a population of 485,347 having grown into one of 963,277; difference, 477,930. The Welsh Division—Monmouthshire, South Wales, North Wales—has now a population of 1,183,517, and had in ]BOl one of 601,767. The increase has been 581,750; and the rate of increase 96'67. Coming next to the sub-divisions, of which these divisions are made, we find that in the London divi sion— Middlesex (part of) had in 1801 a population of 746,718, and has now one of 1,739,902. Surrey (part of) had then 161,642; has now 4E0,472. Kent (part of) had then 50,503; has now 133,452. In the South-Eastern division, Surrey (extra metro politan) has, in the half-century, advanced from a popu lation of 109,561. to ono of 202,495; Kent (extra metro politan), from 258,450 to 480,794; Sussex, from 161,306 to 338,877; Hampshire, from 217,741 to 398,041; Berke, from 131,008 to 199,154. In the South-Midland division, Middlesex (extra me tropolitan) has a population of 150,615, where half a century ago it had 77,582; Hefts, 173,963, instead of 101,802; Bucks, 143,670, instead of 95,827; Oxford shire, 170,286, instead of 112,194; Northamptonshire, 213,784, instead of 128,245; Huntingdonshire, 60,320, instead of 34,704; Beds, 129,789, instead of 66,176; Cambridgeshire, 191,455, instead of 90,702. In the Eastern division, Essex, in 1801, containing 201,408 persons. has now 342,785; Suffolk then 214,690, now 335,704; Norfolk, then 271,125, now 433,212. In the South-Western division, Wilts has in the fifty years increased its population from 173,906 to 241,003, Dorset from 109,646 to 177,294, Devon from 343,223 to 568, 623, Cornwall from 193,039 to 355,223, Somerset roria 281,500 to 456,109. In the West Midland division, Gloucestershire num bers now 418,226; in 1801, 228,895 ; Herefordshire now 99,112, then 75,260 ; [ Shropshire, now 245,019, then 182,695 Staffordshire, now 258,762, then 132,423 ; Warwickshire, now 479,979, then 216,135. In the North Midland division, the population of Lei cestershire has advanced from 133,975 to 234,931 ; of Rutlandshire, from 18,311 to 24,272 ; of Lincolnshire, from 205,340 to 399,633 ; of Notts, from 152,573 to 294,438; of Derbyshire, from 140,998 to 260,707. In the North-Western division, Cheshire, which in 1801 enumerated 189,411, has now 423,356 ; Lanca shire, which then numbered 683,252, has experienced an increase of 1,375,777, and contains now 2,059,029. In the Yorkshire division, too, the growth has been considerable. The West Riding has added 762,977 to a population which, in 1801, amounted to 576,336 ; the East Riding (with York) from 127,241 has advanced to 252,001. The North Riding increasing 147,706 by 46,660, enumerates now 194,366. The Northern division shows considerable progress. Durham in 1801 showing 159,161, shows now 408,896; Northumberland has changed 168,078 for 301,205; Cumberland, less rapid in its strides, has moved on from 117,230 to 194,803; and Westmoreland adds 17,495 to the 40.878 which it numbered fifty years ago. The Welsh division gives some more surprising re sults. Monmouthshire from 54,750, has advanced to 176 276; South Wales has more than doubled its popu lation, 299,644 having become 604,022; and North Wales n e arly doubled its numbers, 247,373 being changed for 403,219. As the general result of these calculations, we found that the population of England and Wales enumerated on March the 10th, 1801, and the few following days, was 8,892,536; the population of England and Wales enumerated on March 31, 1851, ex clusive of persons sleeping in vessels, was 17,877,473; the difference, 8,984,937, is given as the increase. The population of 1801 is exclusive of the army, navy, and merchant men; the population of 1851 includes the army in England, under the several counties in which the sol diers slept or abode on the night of March 30. Conse quently the increase may be somewhat over stated. The population of the various districts in 1841 and 1851 is next recorded. In Kensington there were in 1841, 74,898 persons, there are now 119,980; in Pan cras there are now 167,198, there were then 129,969; [PRICE SD. in Shoreditch, 83,564 the then population has grown, in the ten years' interval, to 109,209; whilst in Stepney there has been an increase of the difference between 90 ,831, and 110,669. Lambeth, which in 1841 num bered its 116 ' 072 souls, counts now 139,240; but Green wich shows a less increase, only substituting in 1851, 99,404, for the 81,125 population which it exhibited ten years before. Epsom shozs ts slight increase, 17,245, having become 19,043. Gravesend gives pr oo f o f b ut li tt l e a d vance, ten years hs only altered the number of its population from 15,670 to 16,635. Tunbridge, from 23,817, has got on to 28 560; Dover from 24,523 to 28,324; and Hastings from 14 536 to 21,214. Brighton has made no inconsiderable increase, 46,661 it had in 1841; bat now it hes 65,573, 36,612 of whom are females. Portsea island, containing 53,058 in 1841, numbers now a population of 72,676. South ampton, which had then 26,103, has now 34,092. In Reading there are 22,175 inhabitants, where there were 19,5 9 1; in Brentford 41 , 305, where there were 37,053. Royston, which in 18 41 had 24,930 inh abitants', has i n the present year 26, 356 ; and Hitchin, which then had 22,346, has now 24,73 2 . Bucking ham has very slightly progressed, 14,239 having only grown to 14,412; Ox ford, instead of 19,667, has 20,173 to exhibit; North ampton's 28,121 is at present 33,858 ; Huntingdon's 18,432 have in ten years become 20,900; Bedford, from 31,766, has moved on to 35,511; Cambridge from 24,453 to 27,803 ; Wisbeacb, from 31,405 to 36,192 ; West Ham, in 1841, enumerating 26,920 persons, numbers -13.0 W 34,378; Bury St. Edmund's, wi;ere it gave 12,538, gives 13,902. Yarmouth, with a population of 24,086, in 1841, has increased since to 26,898; Salisbury, which in 1841 contained 9,490, has now only 8,931 ; and Shaftesbury has, but very slightly, in like manner decreased from 13,106 to 13,028. Beaminster has lost some of its population, the difference between 15,112 and 14,275. Axminster has also gone down to some extent, 20,302 being its present population, 20,583 what it numbered in 1841. Honiton has sunk a little, from 23,892 to 23,824. In Plymouth, East Stonehouse, and Stoke Damerel, whose returns are given separately, we find that the numbers are respectively, in 1841, 36,520, 9,712, and 33,820 ; in 1851, 52,223, 11,971, and 38,182. The population of the Scilly Islands, which was 2,582, is 2,627; that of Bed minster, which was 36,280, is 38,171; that of Bristol, which was 64,266, is 6i,781. Hereford, instead of 34,458, gives, as the ten years' augmentation, a total of 35,158; and Shrewsbury, for 21,518, has substituted 23,095. Staf ford, from 20,292, has advanced to 22,785; West Brom wich, from 62,578 to 69,718; Stourbridge, from 47,929, to 57,360. In Birmingham the population has become 173,878, where it was 135,215; in Leicester, 50,853 has been converted into 60,651; Oakham, which had 11,218, has 11,508; Lincoln, which had 36,110, has 42,061; Nottingham returns 58,418, its number in 1841 having been 53,091; Derby 43,690, its number at the same period having been 35,019. In Stockport, 85,673 has been increased to 90,205; in Wirrall, 31,784 to 57,047. Liverpool makes its 223,003 into 255,055, West Derby its 88,680 into 153,243. Lancaster's advance is but small from 34,605 to 34,660. Goole's also, is disproportionate to the expectations of many-from 12,529 to 13,916. York has 57,111, where it had 47,778; Darling ton, 21,617, where it had 21,487. In Newcastle upon•Tyne the population has increased from 71,844 to 89,145; in Carlisle, from 38,159 to 41,566; in Kendal, from 34,832 to 36,564; Abergavenny, instead of 50,845, has 59,225; Swansea, instead of 38,649, 40,951. The advance of Llanelly is from 20,182 to 23,104; that of Haverfordwest from 37,139 to 39,382. Cardigan enu merates 20,179-in 1841 it had 19,903; Brecknock 18,182 -in 1841 it had 17,701. Presteigne gives only 15,140 where it gave 15,739; Llanfyllin only 19,506 where it had 20,450. Holywell has 41,053, instead of 40,798; Wrexham, 42,295, instead of 39,558. Dolgelly's popula tion has sunk from 13,411 to 12,915; Bangor's has risen from 25,901 to 30,805; that of Anglesey, which in 1841, was 38,106, has risen since to 43,248. Such are the more interesting and instructive facts of the census, so far as regards England and Wales. Coming next to Scotland, we learn that its population, which, in 1801, numbered 1,608,420 smile, has, in the 50 years following, increased to 2,865,421, the difference being 1,257,001. In 1801 the females were in the ma jority-869,829 to 739,091; their increase has been greater than that of the males-637,679 to 619,322; and consequently, in 1851, the proportion maintained is 1,507,008 females to 1,358,413 males. 71 is the rate of increase per cent. in the 50 years for the whole popula tion-84 per cent. for the males, and 73 per cent, for the females. Descending to the southern counties, it will be seen that Dumfriesshire has now a population of 78,025, which is an increase since 1801 of 23,426 ; Kirkcud bright, now 43 274, increase 14,063 ; Wigtonshire, now 41,109, 20,t91 ; Ayrshire, row 188,524, in crease 104,317 ; Butes sire, now 16,547, increase 4,756 ; Renfrewshire, now 158,651, increase 80,150 ; Dumbar tonshire, now 44,724, increase 24,014; Lanarkshire, now 530,989, increase 383,297 ; Stirlingshire, now 85,556, increase 34,731 ; Linlithgowshire, now 29,262, increase 12,125; Edinburghshire, now 258,215, increase 135,618; Peeblesshire, now 10,582, increase 1,847 ; Selkirkihire, now 9,797, increase 4,409; Roxburghshire, now 51,570, increase 17,849 ; Berwickshire, now 36,277, increase 6,071; liaddingtonshire, now 36,387. increa;e 6,401 ; Fifeshire, now 152,747, increase 59,004 ; Kinross-.hire, now 8,913, increase 2,188 ; Clackmannanshire, now 22,921, increase 12,063. In the northern counties, the progress made in the half-century has been .-Perthshire, from 125,583 to 139.190 ; Forfarshire, from 99,053 to 174,368 ; Kin cardineshire, from 26,349 to 34,739 ; Aberdeenshire, from 121,065 to 214,448 ; Banffshire, from 37,216 to 53,829 ; Elginshire, from 27,760 to 38,616 ; Nairn shire, from 8,322 to 9,918 ; Inverness-shire, from 72,672 to 96,166; Argyllshire, from 81.277 to 88,460 ; Ross-and-Cromartyshire, from 56,318 to 82,564; Suth erlandshire, from 23,117 to 25,771 ; Caithness-shire, from 22,609 to 38,422; Orkney and Shetland, from 46,824 to 62,159. In the increase per cent. in the several counties for these fifty years a considerable difference is to be seen. Whilst the rate in Lanarkshire is 260 per cent., that in Argyllshire is but 9; Ayrshire is at 124 ; Dum bartonshire at 115, and Clackmannanshire at 111; whilst Nairnshire is at 20; Perthshire and Sutherlandshire both at 11. Ia Kirkcudbright the increase per cent. of males as well as females has been 48; in Forfarshire also it has been equal-76. In the remaining counties the increase of females has exceeded that of males. _ Of the cities and boroughs, a few had at the time of this years' enumeration no houses building at all-Wig town, New Galloway, Kirkcudbright, Renfrew, and Linlithgow, for instance. In the same case were An etruther Wester, Kinghorn, Culross, and Cromarty. Glasgow had, houses inhabited 12,006; uninhabited, 182; building, 143. The population 333,657, of whom 174,982 were females. The population of Dumfries is stated at 11,106; that of Kirkcudbright at 2,774; Wig town, 2,230; Kilmarnock, 20,913; Rothesay, 7,106; Renfrew, 2,942; Paisley, 47,951; Port Glasgow, 6,996; Dumbarton, 5,411; Lanark, 5,305; Stirling, 12,357; Linlithgow, 4,189; Edinburgh, 158,015; Jedburgh, 3,614; Selkirk, 3,313; Peebles, 1,982; Lauder, 1,105; Haddington, 3,883; Dunbar, 3,038; Dunfermline, 13,861: Perth, 23,814; Dundee, 78,829; Inverbervie, 934; Aberdeen, 71,945; Banff, 6,042; Elgin, 6,336; Nairn, 3,420; Inverness , 12,715 ; Cam p belltown, 6,829 ; Ding wall, 1,966; Tamp , 2,588 ; Dorn o ch, 599; Wick, 6,722; and Kirkwall, 3,331. The population of the Islands in the British Seas, as enumera ted on March 31,1851, is 142,916-66,511 males, and 76,405 females. The increase here in the thirty years, from 1821 to 1851, is 53,408, 89,508 having rises' to 142,916. The number of males was, in 1821, 41,733; that of females, 47,775. By an addition of 24,778 in the former case, and of 28,630 in the latter, the figures are now—females, 76,405; males, 66,511. The population of the islands is respectively—Jersey, 57,155, instead of (as in 1821) 28,600; Guernsey, 34,645, instead of 20,827; Man, 52,116, instead of 40,081. The general rate of in crease, therefore, in the thirty years has been sixty per cent., whilst severally the rate of the three islands has been Jersey, 100 per cent.; Guernsey, 61 per cent.; and Man, 30 per cent. In Jersey, the increase of males has been 102, that of females, 98 per cent., but as the females had in 1321 a majority-15,554 to 13,056—their number is still higher than that of the males, by the excess of 30,795 over 26,360. In Guernsey, li kewise, have increased at a higher rate per cent. upon the num the males num bers of 1821 than have the females-64 to 60; and here, too, they are still in the minority, as they were in 1821. Of males there were then 9,519, and are now 15,598; of females there were then 11,308, and are now 18,047. I In the Isle of Man, however, the preponderance is with the women, who have increased at the rate of 32 per cent., while the males have advanced at 28 per cent. Tha l number of females is here 27,563; that of males, 24,553. The gradual increase of population in these islands in the three decennial periods since 1821, when the num bers were 89,508, has been shown by the difference in each succeeding enumeration; tho first, 103,710; then, 124,040; and this year, 142,916. The census of Ireland, of which as than is given , presents some more startling featu:c " here is those of ' our prosperous country. The contrast here and between the population of 1851 and that o has that then e the result of the comparison is to prove in the number been, in the ten years, a total decrevo yet but an abstract having of persons in Ireland of 1,659,330, populationgtheoonly 6,515,794. been, in 1841, 8,175,124, and earlierMo reov t e h r a , n the h that t a o te f of th e t pres ent h p e reeed h i itl was, t h atascertaint:de epi.Dg isn4sulspbetrisnogns6B3hdoauylds 'f 841 being u be added to the gross population o f number of harvest labou r e rs of a general system of regis- June in that year. however, of in Ireland, period at ' hlnadthleeftablrseenlaened, previous the necessary tration of births and were in consequ en ce tothofe 7th he of f hange o f taken, cannot be arrived at. adjustment , wh ieh th It would seem, from th e d ocument before us, that the population has now sunk below what it was in 1821, for land had then 6,801,827 the tw o censuses inhabitants, whereas she has Ire at present only 6,515,794. In 1831 she had 7,767,401. Her next rise was, in ten years, to 8,175,125, and by this descent she has gone back to 6,515,794. Unfortu nately the return of emigration from the United King dom appended to the census does not distinguish the emigrants born in Great Britain from those born in Ire land. The statistics show the decrease, but do not ac count for it. ~....C_,,,)''7"----- 7 7 ' Beginning no w w i t h t h e province Of Ulster, the rt. cord beforo us shows that of its counties and towns, Carlow, numbering 86,228 persons in 1841, has now f8,157—a decrease of 18,071; that Drogheda fon, bay. iog then 16,261, has now 16,876—increase, 615; that Dublin city, having then 232,726, has now 254,850—in crease 22,124; that Dublin, having then 140,047, has now 147,506—increase 7,459; that Kildare, having then 114,488, has now 96 , 62 7—decrease 17,861; that Kul• kenny city, basing then 19,071, has now 20,283—in crease. 1,212; that Kilkenny, having then 183,349, has now 139,934—decrease 43,415; that King's County, having then 146,857, has now 112,875—decrease, 33,982; that Longford, having then 115,491, has now 83,198—decrease 32,293; that Louth, having then 111,979, has now 91,045—decrease, 20,934; that Meath, having then 183,828, has now 139,706—decrease 44,122; that Queen's County, having then 153,930, has now 109,747—decrease 44.183; that Westmeath, having then 141,300, has now 107,510—decrease 33,790; that Wex ford, having then 202,033. has now 180,170—decrease 21,863; that Wicklow, having then 126,143, has now 99,287—decreae, 26,856; that the province has in the aggregate, with an increase in some cases amounting to g,tner ti 31,410, R total decreaof, tbf.337,370• Munster presents similar .resyl''s—a decrease of 580,437, after an increase el 16,093, thus strived at: — By a thoreaso of 73.674 Ile population of Clare hss fallen from 286 394 to 212,7 0 0; so, by a decrease of 222,246. that of ork from 773 :19S to 551,12;2; by a c:e..reaso of 55,639, Kerry from 293 880 to 238,2-: - 1; by a decrease of 80,019, Limerick froa) 281 648 to 201,6 19 ; by a decrease of 111 724, Tipperary from 435,553' to 323 829; by a decrease of 37,135, Waterford fro.ll 172 971 to 135,536.

Yesterday the receipts at the doors of the building amounted to 2,8351. 65., and the number of visitors, ac cording to the police returns, was 58,382. We understand that the price of season tickets is re duced from 34 and 2/. to 30s. and U., and that the Cotn• mission have come to a resolution, by which the sale of those tickets ceases on the 31st of August. As we re commended a few days ago, the 53. en t rance f ee on Sa turdays is to be reduced, immediately after the proro gation of Parliament, to 25. 6d.; but the immense crowds that still flock to the Exhibition on the shilling days render it in the meantime impracticable, in the view of the Commission, to adopt measures for admitting a larger proportion of the humbler classes than now find their way into the Crystal Palace. METROPOLITAN INTERMENTS ADVANCES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—In the recent debate in the House of Commons on the above subject, the Chancellor of the Exchequer said "he wished to state the whole difficulty ;" he re minded the House that " what the Board of Health thought indispensable, was, that they should b e consti tuted a permanent bo dy, and should have, practically, monopoly of burials, receiving a fee for every person dying in the metropolitan district;" that the Board of Health " thought it necessary that they should be in possession of all the burial-grounds in the metropolitan district;” that "the Treasury thought that was going Lister than was expedient, and he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) refused his permission"—but "'that it seemed that the possession of one or two cemeteries would enable the Board of Health to close the grave-yards in the me tropolis, and enable those whose grave-yards were closed to obtain burying-grounds." At the present moment there are eight perfectly well-conducted cemeteries surrounding London, con taining, collectively, tv i larger extent of acreage than the two hundred GOlgothas added together, which in thirty years have ongulphed a million and a half of the inhabitants. These eight cemeteries are respectively presided - over by boards quite as com petent to discharge their duties, with public approbation, as the three gentlemen who sign the " report of preli minary proceedings under the Metropolitan Interments Act," notwithstanding the wonderful amount of cfficial dexterity they possess—seeing (as we learn from the ap pendix to saidreport) that from the sth of August last to the clove of 1850, they dispatched, by post or hand, letters and packages to the overwheluming number of 24,339. What the Board of Health have been doing since the Ist of January, 1851, the " Report of Preliminary Pro ceedings under the Metropolitan Interments Act" saith not, but if anything like a similar efflux of letters and packages has issued from Gwydyr House, the public may very fairly come to the conclusion that they have spent fully eleven months since they got their Burial Act in performing—the Comedy of Errors and Much Ado About Nothing. It was understood that the scope and intent of the Metropolitan Interments Act was the total and imme diate abolition of the profane and disgusting practice of burying yearly about 60,000 corpses in and amongst the hearth-seats of the living. But the 130,0001. advance now required by the Board of Health as a first instal ment of the 700,0001. needed to realise their burial mo nopoly scheme, appears to be sought with a view of making the Brompton Cemetery and the Nunhead Ce metery two large grave-pits for the promiscuous inter ment of the metropolitan mortality. But what, let us ask, will be the sanitary condition of Chelsea, Brompton, and Kensington, from the moment that 20,000, 30,000, or 40,000 corpses are deposited yearly in their centre ? As regards health, the practice is deadly enough when burial is distributed amongst the 200 City grave-yards and the eight suburban cemeteries. But to accumulate burial in a spot such as the Brompton Cemetery, sur rounded with a dense and rapidly increasing population, is an unheard-of aggression upon the longevity and com fort of the community. Before the Board of Health made their , report in the spring of last year on extramural sepulture, steps had been taken by Sir Richard Broun and Mr. Sprye to supply the desideratum of a METROPOLITAN NECRO POLIS, or city for the dead, on a comprehensive scale at Woking, in the county of Surrey, twenty-three miles distant. For this purpose they entered into a contract with Lord Onslow for 2,000 acres of highly suitable soil, and also completed arrangements with the South-Wes tern Railway, by which corpses will be conveyed from the Waterloo station for less than 6d. per body—the fares for mourners back and forward being, Ist class, 65.; Ind ditto, 3s. 6d., and 3rd ditto; 2s.

But that is one thing—to become undertakers-general, grave-providers, and coffin-makeis , is mother. Mr. Williams might very well c b ar e.cteris the purchasing of two ce meteries as " a job."

LIVERPOOL CURRENCY REFORMERS. Whatever opinion may be formed of the specific re medy which Mr. Duncan and many who agree in the main with him, propose for the evils of the present cur rency laws, there can be no doubt in the minds of im partial inquirers that great alterations in these laws are required, and that most important improvements may he made. We may appeal to the report of' the Com mittee of the House of Lords on the commercial distress of 1847 as conclusive as to the necessity of a revision of the present system. The Act of 1844, they reported, has not prevented commercial excitement and depression, nor checked improvident speculation, nor proved a security against violent fluctuations in the value of money, nor lessened the number and extent of commercial failures, nor corrected railroad speculation, nor promoted the power of obtaining banking accommodation on mode rate terms. Sir; Robert Peel himself considered this document as so condemnatory of his monetary policy, that he could not refrain from publicly expressing his annoyance at its appearance. Nor was the opinion of their Lordships' Committee arrived at without extensive investigation and mature consideration. The maps of evidence collected by them proves their di ligent attention to the object for which they were ap pointed, viz., the examination of the causes of the panic of 1847. But were all the facts which could be adduced in proof of the injurious tendency of the Act of 1844 to be collected, they would fill blue books beyond all limit of Parliamentary patience. ,The town of Liverpool might itself furnish abundant testimony on this head. Let us take that of Mr. Samuel Holme, who recently presided at the Liverpool Currency meeting. He said— " One of the greatest errors in the late Sir Robert Peel's Bill was, that in periods of great depression it made no distinction between a man whose credit was good, and whose property at his banker's was undoubted in real value—it made no distinction whatever, in case of a panic, between a man who was trading on a borrowed capital and another who was trading on his own capital. He felt the effect of that very strongly in his own case, in the year 1847. It so happened, that in that year he had a great body of workmen employed on certain railways which he had under contract. In that year, during the panic, he was placed in this position, that, with credit and property at command, far away more than he wanted, it was impossible for the banks, in con sequence of the restricted currency at the time, to find him either bullion or bank notes. Any security he could have given them, but they could not obtain the money; and ultimately it was with great difficulty that they were able to pay their workmen, and then it was by Govern. meat itself doing an illegal act which gave them relief; .nd if this had not been done, he should have been com pelled to discharge several hundred men, not because he nad not the means of paying them, but because the bankers had not the means of giving it to him. Several eminent merchants and tradesmen told him that they were in the same position at that time, and if it had continued a week longer—if the Government had not been driven to do an illegal act—his workmen and the workmen of several other firms, would have had to walk about the streets. It was for the purpose of getting rid of such a calamity as this that he hoped something would be done to make an alteration in our present cur rency regulations." We respectfully request the merchants of Liverpool to ponder these facts. This statement is made by one whom they know, a practical man of business. Mr. Duncan labours under this disadvantage, that he is a man of popular talent, that he is a scholar, that be is an enthusiast in the cause of monetary reform, that he has made great sacrifices for the opinions which he so ably advocates ; and therefore many who most fully admit his zeal and undoubted ability, speak of his views as theoretical. Very wall. Hear, we say, what practical men, of business habits, and wh ose interest is concerned, say, about the existing monetary system. If eloquence and disinterestedness are to cause a man's opinions to be open to suspicion, discard these dangerous endowments, and go to facts, and men of facts. And if on an appeal to facts it should be proved that Peel's monetary sys- tern is a m roster evil, which involves this country periodically in distress and ruin, then we tell the merchant princes of Liverpool that they have a duty to perform, for the neglect of which no ex cuse can be invented. They have a duty to perform to themselves and to their country. And they have, above all, a duty which they owe to the most numerous and most helpless class of their fellow-countrymen. Mr. Holme tells you that if in 1847 Government had not il legally suspended the operation of Peel's Bill, his work men, 1,200 or 1,500 in number, must have been turned out of employ. Mr. Holme, with ample means at com wasd, might have been ruined, but his workmen, with ,heir wives and families, would have been deprived of their daily bread. A working man's labour alone stands between him and destitution. The effects of a monetary crisis, though first felt by rich bankers and merchants, find their way to the habitation or the humblest of the producing classes. A drain of gold from the Bank, less legal tender attainable by the merchant, the manufac turer, the contractor, means less food, worse clothing, worse lodging—or the lodging of the workhouse—for the patient son of toil. The pour man knows least about the currency-laws—he:feels their evil effects most. And, there wre, it is thAt we impress it as a duty on the rich and powerful to endeavour to obtain a revision of these most pernicious and unjust laws. It is vain to subscribe to chari:iee, to build schools orhospitals, to devise means for improving the condition of the working classes, while you . allow a system which m ay one day cause thousands workmen to be thrown destitute on the streets, to remain in force. We moan sot to say theta reform of the monetary system will remove all the evils which flesh is heir to. With the best and wisest laws which man can frame, vice and improvidence will still produce suffering. Ignorance and want of judgment even, will still entail distress on the . poor. And a ft e r all is done that can be done, there is still much human woe which no human wiedom or foresight can prevent or alleviate. "flow small, of all that human hearts endure, That part which laws or kings can cause or cure." But we tire bound by every right principle to do all that we can to remove the sufferings which bad laws cause, and w cure the evils which admit of cure, by the enact ment of good ones. It is with such fe e lings that we call upon the people of Liverpool not to be content with talking about the currency question, but to do something to endeavour to obtain redress for the greatest evil of modern legislation. Redress will be obtained, sooner or later. The nation is bound over by security to the a mount of eight hundred millions to revise the money laws. Let no one dream that the currency question will be " disposed of" while the debt remains. And there are numbers of thinking men—and they are daily in creasing—who will persevere, under any circumstances, in the attempt to rescue their country from the thral dom of the money power. We believe our principles to be true, and most importantly true; and truth, we never doubt, will prevail at last.—Derbyshi r e Cou r ier.
