THE CENSUS OP-EMMA ND.ilth-riiiLic,ll36l7

The tables are eleven in number.

Table I. comprises the population enumerated on April
8, 1861, in Engird and Wales and the Islands in the
British seas, amounting to 213,293,501. Of these 9,823,246
were males and 10,3i40,25A females. Of the grand total the
numbers assigned to England and Wales are 9,758,852 males
and 10,302,873 females together 20,061,725 ; and to the
i. 1311.14 111 the British seas, 66,394 males and 77,385 females
- together 143,779. The portion of the army, Royal Navy,
and merchant seamen out of the country at the time of the
I,llBtll is not included, and as it appears from official re-
turn, that the army abroad amounted to about 137,000, the
Ifocal Navy and marines absent from the United Kingdom
to about 42,9110, and the merchant seamen absent on voy-
age.' to about 96,000, it may be assumed that the numbers
of these cheers belonging to England and Wales were col.
lectively not leas than 114,021, mostly adult males.
Table 11. exhibits the number of houses and the popula-
tion enumerated in England and Wales in 1831 and 1861,
with the increase in the interval. In 1861 the inhabited
home.% were 3,745,463 (increase 467,424) ; uninhabited,
182,325 (increase 28,831); building, 27,540 (increase, 1,009).
Table 111. shows the population of England and Wales at
each of the censuses, 1801.61, including the army, navy,
and merchant seamen abroad as well as at home, with the
increase in each decennial period. The actual increase of
population (2,169,576), between 1881 and 1861, was greater
than in any previous decennial period, hut the rate of in-
crease, owing to octave emigration, bad somewhat ditni-
.

Table IV. presents a comparative view of the number of
homes enumerated &tench of the censuses.

Table V. shows the houses and population enumerated
in the counties (proper) in 1851 and 1861, together with the
immune or decrease of persons in each county in the period
between the enumerations. In tLe county of Middleton Ole,
area is placed at 180,168 statute acres, the inhabited houses
an 279,831, persons 2,335,771, being au increase of
319,196 *ear 1851.

Ii Table VI. the numbers of inhabited houses and of the
population in 1851 and 1861, with the increase or decrease
of persons in the interval, are presented for each of the 631
superintendent registrars' districts into which England is
divided. These &stride are for the most put co-extensive
with single Poor-law union., or two or more unions com-
bined, but in some instances they consist of places in which
the relief of the poor is regulated under local acts
or otherwise than by the Poor-law Amendment Act.
A column is added in this table showing the
excess of registered births over deaths in the ten
years 1851-60 ; bet in comparing these numbers with the
ascertained increase or decrease it is necessary to bear in
mind that the whole of the births are not registered. No
birth can be recorded after six month., and registration is
pot compulsory, so in the present state of the law many
butte are not entered in the registers, especially in London
Isnal the large towns.
The following districts show the moat noticeable inertial
►f population over 18:11 in the London division, vin.
Kensington, 66,459, the excess of births over deaths being
14,209. Islington, 59,962; births over deaths, 15,881.
Poplar, 32,020 ; births over deaths, 9,466. St. Pancras,
31,296 ; births over deaths, 19,649. Hackney, 24,866 ;
births over deaths, 8,338. The greatest decrease is in the

Main

Table VII u framed from the details in Table VI. The
superintendent registrars' district, are grouped together in
11 divisions, each comprising the whole, or nearly the whole,
of the several counties named. In the columns showing the
ascertained increase of population and the excess of births
over deaths in three divisions may be traced the powerful
stream of immigration into the principal centres of trade
and the seats of mining and manufacturing industry. Thus
in London, where the exam of registered births over deaths
was 253,989, the influx of persons from other ;aria had
raised the actual increase to 440,798 ; in the Eastern Division,
eossiatiog of the manlier of Imes, Sneak, sad Norfolk,
the aseertaind increase was only 28,220, while the
natural increase or exceed births over deaths was 129,726.
The South-Eastern Division (registration districte chiefly
n the counties of Surrey and Kent [extra-metropolitan],
lleasex, Hants, Barks) shows as increase of 218,460 ; the ex-
erts of births over deaths being 196,992.

The tiouth•Midlaod Diviiiolllregietrution districts chiefly
n the counties of Middlesex (estra•metropolitan], Herta,
Bucks, Oxford, Northampton, Hunts, Beds, Cambridge),
increase, 61,043 ; births over deaths, 155,742.
The South-Weston Division (registration districts chielly
in the counties of Wilts, Dorset, Devon, Cornwall, Somer.
et), increase, 32,290; births over deaths, 530,673.

The Weet Midland Division (registration districts chiefly
in the counties of Gloucester, Hereford, Salop, Stafford,
Worcester, Warwick), increase, 299,564 ; births over deaths,
298,980.

The North•llidland Division (registration districts chiefly
in the counties of Leicester, Rutland, Liman, Nottingham,
Derby), increase, 73,217 ; births over deaths, 161,763.
The North•Westeru Division (registration districts chiefly
in Cheshire sad Lancashire), increase, 446,284 ; births over
deaths, 308,022.

The York Division (registration districts chiefly in York-
shire), increase, 226,2 n ; births over deaths, 256,117.
The Northern Division (registration districts chiefly in
the counties of Durham, Northumberland, Cumberland,
Westmorland), increase, 182,155 ; births over deaths,
152,604.

The Welsh Division (registration districts chiefly in
Monmouthshire and Wales), increase, 125,803; births over
deaths, 145,878.

In Table VIII. the houses and population in the principal
cities and boroughs in 1861 are stated chiefly on the autho-
rity of the superintendent registrars in whose districts the
places are wholly or partly comprised. The municipal and
parliamentary boundaries are frequently not conterrninate
with those of parishes or other local sub-divisions, and great
ears Is required in assigning the population within their
exact limits. It is probable that sufficient attention to
questions of boundary has not been given in some cases by
the local officers in preparing these statements within the
limited time allowed them. The numbers must therefore
be received u approximations only, subject to revision
111111111141 f at the Census-office. This table includes only
eoeperabe towns and boroughs returning members to
parliament ; several large towns consequently do not ap-
pear in it.

- T►bles IX. and X., referring to the Channel Islands and
the Isle of Man, require no explanation.
Table Xl. relates to emipution. Aooording to the re-
turns of the Emigration Commissioners 2,249,355 emigrants
sailed from the ports of the United Kingdom in the inter-
val between the census of March 31, 1851, and the census
of April 8, 1861. But 194,532 of the number were pro-
bably of foreign origin, leaving 2,054,823 emigrants from
the population of the United Kingdom ; of whom about
640,210 were of &Wish origin, 183,627 were of Scotch
origin, and 1,•230,986 were of Irish origin.
The retura does not contain the results of the censuses
for Sootland and Ireland.

MUSIC.

ROYAL OPERA, LYCEUM.
The Lyceum opened on Saturday night, accord-
ing to arocalieeement, for Italian opera The season, begin-
ning so lets, most necessarily bee short one. It is intimated
that the subscription is for six or twelve represeutatious, in
the option et the subscriber. The company is strong, in-
cluding ?Wen., Alboni, Oiuglisi, and other members of the
comps* of her Majesty's Theatre last year, together with
Al. sod Madame Gassier, Signor Dells Salle (whose ap-
pearence at a recent Philburmouie Concert at once estab-
lished him in the estimation of the public), and several
other eminent performers. The ripertoire of the season
has been announced : it is limited to a few of the popular
operas of the day, tad Verdi, am usual, is in the ascendant.
One novelty is promised—that composer's last production,
Un Ballo is Ataschera, which is quite unknown in this
country.
The theatre opened with the Troadore—the eternal Try-
cnv, which we have seen and heard waive ad arrant—
till we an heartily weary of it. But the public, it would
seem, is not weary of it. It still remains in vogue, still
draws full homes ; an unanswerable reason why opera-house
mailmen should retinue to give it. Of the opera awl,
we have spokes so very often that we have not a single word
more to way on the subject; and of its performance we can
say very little. Titian r Leonora, therein' as Maurice,
and Albouitas Lanese, acted, sang, and were applauded, ari
they bar acted, wrap, and been applauded, nemberlees
times before. But the character of the Count di Luna was
,pralraoril, Jr alarama4 time is ffrAred, >ry Aiwa Drift
Bed's, idle achieved the rooms we had anticipated from
his previous appearance. as a concertainpr. He is a hand-
some MAD, noblerin aspect and bearing ; and his impersona-
tion of the martial chief was full of fire and runny. Hie
singing of the lemons air, "11 Wen dal sun sor-
riso," was peculiarly happy. The air, in itself,
is one 4 Verdi's sweetest melodies ; and it derives
additional effect from the contrast between the fierce and
haughty wirier, and the " woful ballad, writ to his mis-
tress' eyebiew.“ Signor Dells Sedies voice is a soft and
mellow baritone, and he sings with the grace, smoothness,
and teiriarte expression of the pure Italian school. We
need scar* add that this air was enthusiastically encored.
We meet et omit to mention that the subordinate part of
Ferraro derived more than ordinary prominence and im-
portance bum the excellent acting and singing of IL
Classier.

To-morriir night, we observe, Luria Borgia iz to be
given, wt time as the heroine, Giuglini as Gamow,
Gassier asethe Date of Ferrara, and Alboni as Maio
Orsini. Thee is to be the only performance of that opera.
