vised, and totalled, before its product was allowed a
place in the "three folios." This gigantic operation
took two years to complete. A rough-and-ready
general total was, indeed, published very shortly
after the day of enumeration, just to let John Bull
know the exact size of his family; but the prepared
and abstracted returns did not make their appearance
until an advanced period of the session lately closed.
We must now, however, let Mr. Cheshire set forth
SOWe of the results of his analysis. Of the " Gross
Population " he states

'"Ilso number of people in Great Britain and the small
adjacent islands in Issl was 211,9511,477 ; and the men in
the army, navy, and merchant service, and East India
Conspany's service, abroad, on the plumage out, or round
the coasts. belonging to Breat Britain. amounted, on the
same slay, to 101,490. The isopsibiti 111 l of Great Britain
may, therefore, i.e set down at twenty-one millions. one
hundred and twenty-one thousand, nine hundred and
sixty-seven (21,111,907 • • •
•
' The number sit the male popnlati 111 l of 4 irent Britain,
excluding those absent in foreign countries, was 10,154,;14M,
and the female population 10,735,019; consequently the
females were in excess of the males by 512,301.
" The births during the last thirteen years give a reversed
proportion, viz., 105 boys to 100 girls. flow !II the
change in the proportions, and the subsequent disparity of
the numbers in the two sexes, is sine to emigratism, CO' to a
difference in the degree of the dangers; and diseases to
which they are respectively exposed, will be discussed
when the numbers of modes and females living at ditb.reist
revisals of life are compared. The disparity in the propor-
t. of the sexes is greatest in Scotland, there being no
leas than 110 females to 100 mules in that eountry. • •
The population of heat Britain has nearly doubled
since the commeneement of the present century, notwith-
standing the great number that have at 1111 l ally lett the
country, and settled and multiplied into millions in the
United States in the colonies of North America, Australia,
and South Africa. The increase in the last tiny years has
been 1017 pet cent., or at the rate of 1•319 ioer cent. annu•
silly, the increase of each sex being about equal.
" flue annual rats. of in has varied in each decen-
nial period : lima, in 1841-41 the population has increased,
but the rats. of increase has declined, chiefly from acce-
lerated emigration.
" The emigration from the United Kingdom in the ten
years 11411-31 was 211,317; in the ten years 153141 it
t 1111.1111114411 t.. 717,013 ; and in the ten years 1541.51 it had
increased to 1,003,510."

Respecting the " Law of Population " we arc
told :
" The increase or tb•crense of a people depend upon the
age of mari•iage, the age of parents when children are
Isom, the hers who marry, tile fertility of the niarriagea,
the duration of lite, and the activity of the migration flow-
ing into or out of the country. These influences act more
or It•ss upon each 101 A%
" The ill MINTSof the 11010 dal( in bear a definite relation
to the deratit ot' life, or to the mean lifetime. Thus, if
the 1114411 lifetitllf. of It 1101111111 f is thirty years, then if
the 'Mills are 1(141,4100 a year, and remain uniform. the
popithif will :ill times lIHMSSI, Now,
the births remaining the same, let the lifetime he gradually
extended to forty years, then the populat' will become
-1,000.1100 : if the lifetime is extended to fitly years,
the population. from the extension of lik• alone, will rise
from three to live millions. The deaths, upon this by
will he equal to the births, and the saute in number
when the population is live as when it is f •or HIM`
p Millions. It is probable that the mean lifetime of the
great botdy of the popidation did increase from the year
INOI to Pill, when the increase of population was greatest
in Great Britain.
" The interval front the birth of one generation to the
birth of their descendants ttl the generation fttilowing
beam also a definite WI/116M to the MaillberS, which in•
crease as the interval is shortened. Thus, it' the population
hie reiglieli at the rate of 1'319 auuuohly, and it' the inter-
%ening time front generation to geut•ration id 831 years, it
follows that the inerease fi•om generation to generation is
fifty-five tar cent., or that every I,lsittwomen are succeeded,
at the interval of :1:Ik yearn, by 1,5:13 women ; every two
couples• male and female, by thaw. If the interval is con-
tracted, mitt the increase from 1,114/0 to takes place
in thirty years, the mutual rate of population increases
from 111111 to 1.411 per cent.; and as we assume by hypo.
tht.sis that the births and the lifetime remain the same,
the population weld.' be ultimately one. • th part more
numerous titan it was under the former conditions.
Early marriages have the effect of shortening the interval
between gill. rations, and tend in this way tom c.rrase the
population."
l'pon the interesting subject of households, and
the average number of inhabitants to every dwelling,
Mr. Cheshire remarks :

*"flie possession of an entire honse in strangle desired
by every Englirilnuan. This feeling is universal, but
stronger in England than on the Continent. The erowding
of the initiclie and higher thisto.s, who sleep in Bats, is
ealeied to at great execss ill the capitals on the Continent.

mouth and the adjacent districts had more than two
families, together averaging ten persons, to a house. In
iVurcesterahire, Warwickshire, Gloucestershire, Hereford.
shire, Shropshire, and Staffordshire, a large proportion of
the people lived in separate houses, with the exception of
Bristol, Clifton, Gloucester, Hereford, and Birmingham.
In the counties of Leicester, Rutland, Lincoln, Notting-
ham, Derby, and Yorkshire, nearly all the families lived in
separate houses, the city of York and Hull being scarcely
exceptional eases to the rule. In Lancashire and Cheshire
more than :OMNI° out of 471,907 families lived in separate
Masses. Liverpool, Bolton, Manchester, and Salford were
the chief places where two or more families iu many cases
occupied the same house. In the northern division of
Englund, comprising Cumberland, Northumberland,
ham, and Westmorland, the pmportional timber of Coun-
ties and persons to a house increased."
" Cities and Towns "

"In Pei I 6 neat Britain contained slri towns of various
magnitudes, either market towns, county towns, or cities ;
tirat were in England and Wales, •21,:i in Scotland, and In
in the Channel Islands. The population of these 141. i towns
was 10,556,168 ; the population in the rest of Ureat Britain
was 1003,110 ; consequently, if detached houses, yillagi s,
and ninon towns without markets, are called country, the
town and country populations of tireat Britain may he
considered equal. The density in the country was No
persons to the square mile ; in the towns. 4,337. or about
twenty-eight times as ninny.
" T se average population of each town in England and
Wades was 1:,,:i01; of each town in Scotland, only
less than a halt' that of the English town. The a% erne
ground-area of the English town is 1 three-tifth miles, and
fiams the centre of an area of 101 square miles."

Of the " Density of I'opulatiou " :

" The 021 districts of England and Wales, classed in an
order of density, range from 1N5,751 persons to the square
mile, in the east London district, to eighteen only in
Northumberland. In all London. the number of persons
to a square mile, in Issl, was 111,375. In INOI, the people
of England were on an average 15si yards asunder; in
IN4I, only IoN yards asunder. The mean distance between
their houses in 1801 was 302 yards; in It+sl, only 2t02
yards. In London, the aserage proximity in IN►l was 11
yards; in only 14 yards.'

And of " Absentees " :
The number of persons absent from Great Britain and
Ireland ou the night of the census was about a quarter of
a million. viz., army, navv, uterine and merchant service,
belonging to Great Britain, 162,490; belonging to Ireland,
49,704 ; and British subjects resident or travelling in
foreign eoumnes, 33,775. The latter were distributed as
follows :—France, 20,357 ; Belgium, 3,Pc2s ; Russia, 2,753;
Two Sicilies, 1.414 ; Turkey, 1,235 ; Sardinian States,
1,4109 ; Greece. 1,068; Mexico, 755; China, 64t) : Saxony,
311 ; Alexandria, 155 ; Cairo, S 5 ; Persia, 33 ; Tripoli, 23."
We have said that the present bulky reports con-
tain but a portion of the abstracts of population.
They are drawn, in fact, but from a moiety of the
original " entries " obtained by the enumerators.
The remaining half of the twenty million totals re-
late to other topics, and will be analysed, grouped,
and abstracted into a second series of reports, whose
appearance may be expected some time next year.
In these supplemental volumes, we are informed,

" the ages of the population will he given, their condition
and occupations. As regards age, they will lw arranged in
quinquennial sections, that is, in seetions advancing by
periods of five rears each, from children in arms to the
age of ninety and upwards. The people will tl►en be classed
iu sections, ns lmshands, wives, widowers, widows, LucLe-
lo►v, 141141 spinsters ; again, they will be grouped, first,
according to place of residence, and, subsequently, under
the counties and countries in which they were born ; and,
finally, they will be arranged in professions or ocenpations,
from the prince to the peasant : paupers, prisoners, In-
Indies, and vagrants, being severally grouped. The survey
will extend over thousands in Inure than a thousand differ-
ent callings."

THE MORTALITY OF' THE METROPOLIS for last week
shows but a small reduction on the previotts return,
which was rather high. In the week that ended on
the 19th, the number of deaths registered in London
was 1,102. In the ten corresponding weeks of the
years 1543-52 the average number was 1,028, which,
if raised in proportion to increase of population, be-
comes 1,125. Therefore, the actual mortality some-
what exceeded the estimated amount. It is satisfac-
tory to perceive that the mortality from cholera was
not so great as in the four previous weeks, the num-
ber of deaths having fallen to 12, while that from
diarrhoea was only 80. In the three weeks of
November cholera has carried off 102, t#4, and
persons. The mean weekly temperature, which rose
so high as 55.5 in the last week of October, declined
in the two subsequent weeks to 4,4.9 deg. and 45.;
deg., and last week fell so low as 3$ deg. Of last
week's deaths from cholera 5 occurred iu the west
districts, 11 in the north, 3 in the central, 20 in the
east, and 33 in the districts on the south side of the
river.

THE 'WARD OF Wonks Ast) Bt LDINUS purpose to
obtain powers for the formation of the long-contem-
plated new street from Chancery-lane to Fetter-lane,

yard to Chancery lane, in the line of the proposed
s treet.

CITY REVENUES AND EXPENDITURE.

Amps". the voluminous nniasof evidence now almost
daily collecting before the City of Loudon Corpora-
ration Commissioneri, we find in the testimony given

. .
by Mr. Benuoch a brief and interesting tmiumary
of the various sources of income from which the
corporation funds are supplied, and the ptuposes to
which they are devoted. The evidence in question
was elicited in the course of the inquiry on Tuesday
last :

Mr. Bennoch : 1 think the aldermen perfonn their
duties to the best of their ability. But 1 would have paid
magistrates iu the City, who would devote all their time
to their magisterial duties. .111 y objection to the
court of Aldermen is that they hold the purse attinps of
the corporation as much as the general Issel. The alder-
men have the power of awarding stuns of Homey to the de-
enyed families of their own members. The Court of
Common t'ottneil do the MAIM. thing 111 a different
way. They appoint petwous to 'situations. The property
of the corporation is execeditigl well miutaged as reganls
rents. and there are uu better landlords. Their property
is very lt within the city. I think the estates an' well
managed as regards the property itself. I believe that
nothing call be better managed than the sewers of the
City, and the accounts as to the sewers are c‘ceetlingly
clear. But this was in consesinence of the appointment of
proper auditunt. The gross illtY/Illt! of the corjsiration is
•215,47'11. The revenue from rents and quit rents Is NOAH/. :

:1,7411/.: freedoms, 8401.: interest, ; chtuitable
founslations, 1,100/.: casual revenue, 6,149/. ; making a
total of '21:0171. But in addition to this revenue they
derive from the navigation co 11111 l ittee, 1+,3771. ; from the
conselidated We, front general slues

of :t.V.,:1:41/. The reve athe Irish Seleiet, and :'O.l
lusliee rate is not included in this aggregate. I apprehend
the whole revenue of the collimation is about 400,1100/.
The expense administering title fund is as follows :
general expenses, of officers, :Isit;',/1,; legal salaries, 1 1,115 ;
legal expenses, 1/. ; pet miens to the relation's is,* office' le,
3,644/. ; ditto to the relations of aldermen, .ei8401.;
strlin-
mrntat'y expenses, 14,007/. ; committees' allowances, :,IMMII.,
but I believe it amounts; really to 4,000/. ; auditors, VW.;
printing and stationery, 3,111/.; state coach and official
clothing, 774/. ; disbursements through the hall-keeper &mil
petty ofHcetx, 4,0(17 ; that item will require explanation.
Then there is a variety of sundries, amounting altogether
to 14,1115 m/. The total amount ie and this seam is
expended to ashetittioster the balance of •.2):•.:1.17/. this, of
the items of expenditure set down in tit" accounts is 1:1;1/.
for clothing fur the great ministers of state. This was
given in (miner time* in consequenee of some rights
grsuited to the corporation.
The titanium' (Mr. ladrionclterel: l'ait ,)on say wind

Ali. Ilettusielt : I believe the first Minister gets some,
and I know the Lord Chancellor does. There is it stun of
for ',rioting and emblazoning the address presented
to the President of France. 1 find that there is a sum of
111,61.5/. in the accounts under the head of lodging-
houses for the hamming poor." Any one would suppose
from this that sal 1131101 money had been e‘petided fur this
purpose. But it is not so. This sum is part of it balance
of the Finsbury estate, wine!' is held in tinstottal ls•jog so
larld it wits not thought right to bring it into the general
account. It was, thetefsire, M 1,4111111 1.1 upplh it to a parti-
cular purpose, but the flituttlittii ins of the
are not yet laid. The sum lies by to he used on some
future ()evasion. _ _ _

Not one penny. except stl/. or 100/. given now Sint again
to some establishments in the neighbourhood, though I
lwlieve they intend to build some in connection with the
new street from Earringdon-street. The tax on coals is
I:td. per ton, of which the City receives Id for the expenses
of collection. They recelle and appropriate to poldie
provemets under act of Parliament, fid., and the remaining
1.41. is banded over to the tiovernment for the purpose of
making general metropolitan improvements. Out of that
fund New Oxford•street was eonstroctrd. as also most of
the improvements in and about Trafalgar-square and New
Coventry-street; awl about !sirs .01. is plow lying to the
credit of the borough of Southwark for a new street from
the Town-hall to Southwark bridge-rmid. Tlw coal tax,
therefore, is not badly expended. The corporation has sins
mgit to answer for without put•
ting this upon them. which they do not deserve. The 4.1
per ton is applicable to City improvements alone. I tiled
that the police tax has been elwerndly borne, and I be-
lieve that a tax for improvements would be also borne
cheettillv. The sooner the tax on voids is abolished the
better. the expenditure in connection with the others of
the city of London is much larger than that of the end
federal tioveniment of the United States. What is more
startling still, it expends tot itself, as administering the
funds of the ViniantiOn, Won' than the uloar amount te•
ceived tells, and fees from brokers, which
forma the three great items cf it. income. The corporation
of Manchester manage funds to the unwind of 4045.2k2/. at
4 cost of ff,tt49/., and this nullities water works and ow
which in London are managed by pi ivate companies. If I
include the tow toady* of Manch...o. r. 1 find that the cerise
ration there manage the expenditure of funds to the amount
of 53.502/. for WNW.. or fifty per cent. more than the
corporation of London manages fur 107,0001.
Mr. Lewis : Who orders the payments in the city of
London?

Mr. Bennoch : The general nth• is that no money of a
general nature is paid except by the chamberlain on the
order of the Cunrt of Aldermen or the Court of Common
Council.

Tin: project of founding in Birmingham a public
institute. to be di, i4ted into two departments, one
embracing general literature, and the other devoted

haggard, feeble, badly clad, and badly fel may
staud to be killed," he says, " but it ix astonishing to me
how they eau kill any one." The tounalwrs the F.noperor
of Russia eau draw upon are, to Is cure, minima mi). VII,
and, in a service when neither the comfort of the men is
odan.d for nor the slightest value set on their lives, there
are always thionaands upon thousands dragged to supply
the places of those whop perish by the neglect of their
otlieers and the rapacity of their co • sariat, who have
more regard fur brute l.escts than for human hidings. Tta!
