Imienrunom.—The annual fenival, in aid of the above in-
stitution, is to take place at the Freemasons Tavern, next
Thursday evening, whoa Mr. Charles Dickens, president of

THE FORTHCOMINO TRINITY TREY.—OR Saturday
the law offices were clossd for the holidays until Wednes-
day, when Trinity Term commences. The arrears are in-
considerable in the common law court., and in the coasts of
equity there are now in reality, but some cases hays been
set down fur hearing. In the Queen's Bench there are four
rules in the new trial paper for judgment and 50 for amp-
meat. In the special paper there are two for judgment
and 43 for argument, Insides which there are seven en-
larged rules. In the Common Pleas there are eight enlarged
rules, 19 in the new trial paper, five matters standing for
the decision of the court, and 15 demurrers entered. In
the Exchequer there are eight errors and appeals, five rules
in the peremptory paper, and 10 in the special for
argument ; whilst of new trials there are five for judgment
and 18 for argument. The courts will sit at 10 o'clock, as
the judges will not breakfast with the Lard Chancellor.
Ties CENRol.—M&Honurna.—The total popu-
lation et what is commonly understood by the word "Man-
chester," and which includes Salford as naturally a. London
include Southwark, has not
.yet been exactly ascertained.
An approximate calculation gives 367,438 as the number of
persons mow in the city of Manchester by itself, as against
316,1155 in 1851, showing an increase of 40,483. This in-
doles the nine townships of Manchester, Hulme, Chorl.
ton.upon-Madlock, Ardwick, Cheatham, Newton, radford,
Berwick, and Harpurhey, and is altogether exclusive of the
borough of Salford. All the townships show an increase
except that of Manchester, where there Ina been a decrease
of Lira. This is accounted for by the migration of inha-
bitants to the suburbs, and the removal of cottages in the
centre of the town to make room for warehouses, he. ; or
in the course of street improvements.

Tea CIIIBUM, NolimicH.—The result of the late
enumeration of the people of Norwich, shows an lacrosse
during the ten years 1851-1861 of 6,150, against an
advance of 6,412 in the ten years preceding.
Not the least interesting information gained from •
study of the returns is the fact that there has been,
with few exceptions, • steady emigration from the more
c3mel7•packed parishes in the heart of the city to the subur-
ban districts, so that whilst the population of the former is
diminishing, we find Thorpe increased by nearly 600, 81.
Clement's Occluding New Cotton and Philadelphia) by
more than 700, and Hingham by upwards of 6,ooo—the last
named hamlet haring been in fact nearly doubled. The
numbe. of inhabited houses which in 1841 was 14,900, has
been increased to 17,100; the uninhabited houses which in
1841 were 339, are now 791 ; and the number of houses
is the course of erection is about the same as before, 97
to 101.

Tug POPCLATION OF LIVZILPOOL.—•••
The results of the recent census in Liverpool were known
ou Saturday, and by the kindness of the local superin-
tendent registrar we are enabled to present our readers with
the following abstract of the Waste! tables :—Population
Parish of Liverpool, 263,570 ; out townships, 174,170 ; the
fluctuating population, those on board ships, Eris; in the
streets, travelling, connected with the customs, lie., are, as
is 1831, estimated at 8000—total 445.740. Inhabited
houses: Parish of %wizen), 37,101; out townships,
28,898—total 65,999. Population in lilBl : 375,955—increase
in 1861, 69,785. Inhabited houses is 1851, 54,310—in-
crease in 1861. 11,6161. These figures are mast satisfactory.
A Cuntoarry or run CzNeva. —There is one pariah
in England which has increased Its population during the
last decennial period by no lees than 100 per cent. The
parish of Al4lllllo°o, near Br ghtou, was the only parish
that returned in the census of 1851 a single unit of popu-
lation. The pariah ie entirely agricultural. It was for cen-
turies without a house. There are, however, the ruins of a
chinch, which are noticed by the travellers on the South
Coast Railway. When the road from Brighton to Shore-
ham woe made a turnpike, it pleased the trustee, of the
road to erect a toll tar in the pariah, and the toll-house of
course had an occupant. Thus the parish became inhabited,
and the eons= of 1851 gave the population as "1." The
census of 1861 shows a population of the same parish of 2,
an increase, as we have mid, of 100 per cent. The 'pike man
las taken to himself a wife.

61111trTATTiiit07 CAPITAL. BENTINCE.—TheUM
of Alexander Hutchinson, a convict under sentence of
death in the gaol of Dundee for the murder of his wife,
has boen under the cousidendion of the Secretary of State,
who has advised the queen to commute the sentence to
pled servitude for life. It appears that the convict's wife
was a most profligate and abandoned woman, and that in
conseunence of gross prevarication he committed violence
upon her which resulted in her death. He was guilty of
murder in the eye of the law, but the facts of the case
fairly lead to the inference that he did not contemplate the
commiseion of that offence.
