ME MINISTRY-THE " BIGHT" MAN.

A highly interesting document was yesterday issued
by the Registrar-General. It is a further instalment of
the figures afforded by the census, and affords informa•
tion as to the ages, occupations, and birthplaces of the
people.
The tables display the following remarkable results :
-Of the 14,422,801 people living in 1821, 6,981,063
were under 20 years of age, and 7,441,733 were 20 years
of age and upwards; while of the 21,185, 010 living in
1851, the numbers under 20 years of age were 9,558,114,
and the numbers of the age of 20 years and upwards
were 11,626,896.
The number of the population of the age of 20 and
upwards in 1851 exceeds the number under the age of 20
by 2,068,782.
The increase in the young population under 20 years
of age in the 30 years (1821.1851) has been 2,577,046 ;
the increase in the adult population of 20 years of age
and upwards in the same time has been 4,185,163.
The males of 20 year of age and upwards at the two
periods amount to 3,587,600, and to 5,610,777 ; the in-
crease in the 30 years has been, consequently, 2,023,177
men of the age of 20 years and upwards. All of these
numbers, it is evident, would not be able to "go forth
to war," if the population ea masse were called to arms ;
and the quality of the population at alter ages differs
so much in vitality, strength, and intelligence, that it
requires stilt further analysis.
The males et the soldier's age of 20 to 40 amounted
to 1,966,664 in 1821, and to 3,193,496 in 1851 ; the in-
crease in the 30 years is equivalent in number to a vast
army of more than twelve hundred thousand men
(1,226,832).
The women at this fruitful age of marriage (20 to 40)
were then 2,119,385 in number; they have increased by
1,243,073, and now amount to 3,362,458.
While the population under 20 years of age increased
37 per cent.. the population at the second age of 20 to
40 increased 60 per cent.
At the age of riper knowledge and experience (40 to
60 years), the increase was 1,244,400 persons, or 55 per
cent. in the thirty years.
The number of persons in mature life, at the age of
60 to 80 years, increased 45 per cent. ; while the in-
crease at the extreme period of life after 80 was only 34
per cent.
If it be assumed, as it may be fairly, that the popula-
tion under the age of 10 years, and the great bulk of
the population of the age of 70 and upwards, are chiefly
sustained by the industry of the population living in the
middle periods of life, extending from the age of 20 to
the age of 60, it will follow that in 1821 the 6,367,991 per-
sons of the two middle ages sustained 4,355,166 children
and old persons, or 63 per cent. of their own numbers ;
while in 1851 only 5,797,295 i effectives by age (57 per
cent.) were sustained by 10,082,296 of the effective po-
pulation. Tested by these facts, the strength of the
nation has increased faster than its numbers.
The population of 1851 is so constituted that if the
century of life over which a generation may extend is
divided into five periods of 20 years, commencing at
the ages, 10, 20, 40, 60. and 80, the numbers in 1,000
males are 461, 307, 165, 62, and 5 ; while the numbers
in 1,000 females at the same periods are 441, 812, 168,
71, and 7. The exact proportions are shown in the
table (4), p, xvi. They are approxiniatively represented
by 6 under 20 years of age, to 4 at the age 20, 40, 2 at
40-60, and lat the age of 60 and upwards. The num-
bers at the ages 20 to 60 now somewhat exceed the
numbers under the age of 20 years ; and it should be
borne in mind by those who have to deal with the whole
population, that the persons of the age 20 to 40,-but
not their possessions,-are nearly twice as numerous as
the persons of the next vicenniad (40 60), and that the
males of that age (20 40) exceed in number the males at
all ages over 40 in the proportion of 31 to 23.

6 There are some natural, some useful, and some
artificial divisions of human life, of which a few may be
advantageously noticed, since the tabular returns have
been distributed, by the method of differences, so as to
exhibit very nearly the numbers living at each of the
several years of age.
Human life is naturally enough divided into two
periods; the first terminates at the age of 25, which is
now the average of marriage in England ; the second
period extends from that age to senility, or to the catas-
trophe of death. In the Roman law 25 was the age of
majority, as it is in the prese t French code for males.
The number of persons at the last census in Great
Britain under the age of 25 was 11,573,377 ; of the age
of 25 and upwards, 9,611,633.
By the common law of England all persons under the age
of 21 are infants ; 21- is the age of majority ; and in the
following years of age half of the marriages in England
are now contracted. The number of minors in Great
Britain at the last census was 9,985,133 • the number of
21 years of age and upwards was 11,199,877.
Males at 14, females at 12, may consent to marry,
but cannot legally marry until the age of 21 without the
consent of their guardians. And the English law re-
gards 14 as the age at which a person is competent to
distinguish right and wrong ; under 7, children are ir-
reeponaible ; between the ages of 7 and 14 they are in
some cases responsible. The number of persons of the
age of 14 and upwards was 14,167,871 ; of 14 and under
21, the number was 2,967,994 ; of 7 and under 14, the
number was 3,260,188. •
Physiologists divide human life into four periods, the
embryonic, immature, reproductive, and sterile ages :
the first terminating at birth ; the second at puberty,
which is achieved at 15 ; the third at 45, after which
few mothers have children ; and the last at 100 and up-
wards. The numbers in Great Britain at the three latter
periods are, males under 15, 3,754,936 ; of 15 and under
45, 4,811,172; of 45 and upwards, 1,851,235. The
number of females under 15 was 3,703,144 ; of 15 and
under 45, 4,9-34,299 ; of 45 and upwards, 2,080,224.
Individual life exists on such conditions that it may
at any moment cease ; and the vital tenure varies not
only with every change of external circumstances, but by
natural laws at every year of age. It is most insecure in
infancy and old age. At the age of puberty-before the
period when the growth of the body is most rapid-be-
fore the age of its great strength-before the age of greatest
intellectual power, it is least assailable by death. The
chance ot living through a given year increases from birth
to the age of 14 or 15 ; it decreases to the age Of 55-8 at
a slightly accelerating rate ; after which the vitality de-
clines at a much more rapid rate. The numbers living
at the ages 15-55, extending to the extreme limits of
the reproductive age, where the vitality wears away
slowly, is 5,664,781 males, and 5,903,111 females. The
numbers living of-the ages after 55 are 997,626 males,
and 1,161,412 females.
Seven, which numbered the notes of music, the metals,
and the planets, for the Greek philosophers, was sup.
posed by them to measure the critical intervals of human
life. The "seven ages" of Hippocrates,-which, ac-
cording to one account, terminated at the years seven,
fourteen, twenty-eight, thirty-five, forty-two, fifty-six,
seventy, or more-were extended by Solon to the ten
equal septennaries ending in the years seven, fourteen,
twenty-one, twenty-eight, thirty-tive, forty-two, forty-
nine, fifty-six, sixty-three, seventy, or the last to which
life extended ; and another philosopher added the two
periods up to eighty-four years, the fulness of life-be.
yond which ho would no more reckon than would the
charioteer the ground that he ran beyond the goal.
Some of these septeunary years coincide with striking
epochs of life, .and have evidently suggested our legal
and some of our popular divisions for which the num-
bers in the population have been already given. Varro
divided life very naturally into five equal ages, termi-
nating at the close of the years 15, 30, 45, 60, 75 or
more, and proposed to call males at the five respective
ages, pueri, adolescentes, juvenes, seniores, seizes.
-The popular English divisions of life are expressed in
the language by several characteristic words, such as
babe, suckling, infant, child, boy, girl, lad, lass, youth,
maiden, and young, middle-aged, old,-man, woman.
These terms are not used with so much precision as they
might easily acquire
; and some of them, derived from
different sources, are used synonymously, while the latter
terms often include the period which the earlier words
especially designate. But (using a little force to make

AGES OF THE PEOPLE OF ENGLAND.

(From the Morniny Herald.)

To collect the verdict of the public on any great ques-
tion, in any mode which may secure us from delusion
or deception, is not, perhaps, very easy, but it is far
from impossible. At the present moment, on the only,
point of pressing importance—namely, whether the pre-
sent Government is honestly prosecuting the war —we
imagine that we can point out one tolerably safe crite-
rion of what the people think.
We have already said, more than once, that a rational
and discriminating view of the line taken by the public
press will often furnish this criterion. Probably this
was never more true than at the present moment.
By a rational and discriminating view, we mean an
estimate founded on all the known facts of the case. We
are not merely to count heads. We are not to assume
that a Government is popular because it is supported by
the Times ; or that it is unp,,pular, because it is opposed
by the Morning Herald. Let all the circumstances be
taken into account. If, therefore, we seek to learn from
the public press whit is thought of the Government, we
must begin by throwing certain journals oat• of the ac-
count. We do not think that anything can be argued,
in the present case, from the opinions of the Morning
Herald or the Standard ; or from those of the Times,
Chronicle, or Globe.

'rho reason is obvious. The Morning Herald and
the ,Standard opposed the Aberdeen Ministry from the
first hour of its formation. The Times, Chronicle, and
Globe supported that Ministry from its earliest existence
to the present moment. Hence, in taking the opinions
of either of these five panere, we should be asking the
judgment of those who had adopted a prejudice at the
outset.

But there are four other London journals of various
shades of politics, and all of which are free from political
connection either with the Government or the Opposi-
tion. These are the Morning Post, the Morning Adver-
tiser, the Daily News, and the Sun. And, be it re-
marked, that so far as these four journals could be sus-
pected of any bias—that bias would be in favour of the
present Government. Three of them are of Liberal
politics, and the fourth as an admirer of Lord Palmer-
ston. Not one of the four has any leaning to Lord
Derby or his friends. Now, have these four journals
expressed any opinion, recently, as to the conduct of
the war I And is their verdict at all unanimous ?
It is singularly so. The Conservative, but Palmer-
stonian Post,—the Radical Daily News,—the highly-
Liberal Advertiser and Sun, all concur in the most
' remarkable manner. All agree most fully and cordially
that the way in which the war is carried on, or rather
the way in which the war is not carried on, is most dis-
graceful to all parties concerned in it.

- The weekly humorist Punch, equally " Liberal,"
equally opposed to Lord Derby, entirely concurs in this
judgment, representing in its caricature of this week,
the Queen, as schoolmistress, writing this character of
the two principal members of the Cabinet

" In the calif, of Masters Aberdeen and Russell, I re-
gret to say that the most extreme idleness has charac-
terised the whole half-year."

Are we not right, then, in saying that the present is a
case in which the public verdict may be easily gathered ?
These various journals represent various cla'ses of the
public, none of them being Derhyite ; and their decision
is a unanimous one—The present Ministry is not honestly
carrying on the war.

One other test is a less obvious one, but, if closely
examined, it furnishes an equally invincible proof. It
is—an inquiry how the Ministry is defended by its par
tisans ?

Now let us give one example of this from the Morning
Chronicle of yesterday. The Premier is thus defended
by au advocate of, perhaps, rather too vehement a
temper :
_ _

"Lord Aberdeen suffers in popular estimation from a
coldness of manner which is as far as possible from being
the index of his heart. Ardently loving the people and
their cause, he spurns the art of popularity to an extent
which is. perhaps, scarcely prudent in a democratic
country, governed by rhetoric. The first Conservative
Free-trader, a most consistent friend of religious liberty,
and the steady, though peaceful, supporter of constitu-
tional government in Europe—which claims to popular
esteem on which other men would have traded to the
greatest advantage—he has not only not courted, but he
has repelled applanse. Acting simply on the dictates of
his conscience, he has expressed those dictates i❑ the
simplest and most unvarnished form. He thought the
bread tax unjust, and he eagerly embraced and heartily
supported Sir Robert Peel's proposition to repeal it ;
but he has never tried to make capital out of his per-
sonal conduct on that occasion. He never brags ;he
taunts nobody ;, he does on each occasion the thing that
he thinks right ; he says on each occasion the thing that
he thinks right, and no power on earth will induce him
to say more. He believes that the Emperor of Russia
has done a great and crying wrong, and he will do his
utmost to avenge that wrong. NO one who knows him
doubts for a moment that his whole soul is in the
struggle." _

Wien Sir Dugald Dalgetty hears his visitors in the
dungeon indulge in. a similar strain of the Marquis of
Argyle, he exclaims, " You must know the marquis
very well ; or, rather, you must be the marquis him-
self !"

With equal truth may we say, " This is a singular
sort of newspaper-scribe, who professes such a remark-
able knowledge of Lord Aberdeen's ' heart,' and con-
science,' and ' whole soul.' "

But we must make one other objection—namely, that
the Lord Aberdeen of this fancy sketch is as little like
the Lord Aberdeen of real life as the Argyle of the dun-
geon was like the Argyle of the council-room. Buth
were fictitious.

Lord Aberdeen is now desceibed as "the first Conser•
vative free-trader, the consistent friend of religious
ligerty, and the steady supporter of constitutional
government." But what says history ?
In 1827, when Mr. Canning and Mr. Huskisson
made the first attempt to modify the corn laws, the
first name in the majority against the proposal was
that of Aberdeen. In eight months after this
Canning Ministry was dissolved, and Lord Aber-
deen, the stern. Protectionist, was rewarded with the
Duchy of Lancaster. In June, 1828, a proposal was
made by the House of Commons, "to consider the Ca-
tholic oaths"— the mildest way of approaching emanci-
pition. Again, the name of Aberdeen was foremost in
rejecting even the proposal to consider the subject, and
as a staunch Protestant he was raised to the Foreign
Secretaryship.

_ .
The very next year the Duke ordered his troops to
" right about face," and " Aberdeen" was all for Eman-
cipation._ _ _

Excluded from office for a dozen years, he had no fur-
ther opportunity for such feats of agility. But in 1841,
having assisted Sir Robert Peel in rejecting the Whig
proposal to lower the duty on wheat to Bs., Lord Aber-
deen once more became a Minister—a member of the
Protestant and Protectionist Ministry of Sept., 1841.
In 1845, at Sir Robert Peel's command, he supported
the Maynooth Bill ' • and in 1846, similarly obeying
orders, he abandoned the corn laws !
More than thirty years of his public life had been
spent as a Tory, when "circumstances" demanded one
inure surrender. Te gain office a fourth time, it was
now necessary to abandon the Conservative camp alto-
gether, and to become the Premier of the Peelites and
Whigs. But even this dose was not too strong. Nor
do we suppose that if Mr. Bright could gain a majority
in the House of Commons next year—Lord Aberdeen
would not at all object to " manage the House of LOrds"
for the Bright Government.
And this is the sort of patriotic statesman of whom
the writer in the Chronicle tells us that—
" He does on each occasion the thing that he thinks
right ; he says on each occasioz, the thing that be thinks
right ; and no power on earth will induce him to say
more."
Oddly enough, on five or six great occasions, when
this inflexible patriot saw it "right" to make an
entire
change in his conduct—that entire change happened to
be just the very thing that was needful to enable him
to hold his place ! No doubt all was pure, and virtuou..,
and patriotic; but the concurrence of " conscience" and
interest was somewhat remarkable, occurring, too, so
repeatedly !

i

fewof them reside in the parishes where they were born
and have been known from youth ; many of the old peo-
ple are 'paupers, and probably illiterate ; so that it
would no doubt be difficult to obtain the documentary
evidence which can alone be accepted as conclusive
proof of such extraordinary ages.
Until the system of registration and the census have
been for many years in operation, the evidence of extreme
ages must remain indecisive ; but there can be now no
doubt that some of the 21 millions of people in Gieat
Britain have lived a century ; which may therefore be
considered the circuit of time in which human life goes
through all the phases of its evolution.

SPORT! NG IN T ELLIO ENCE.

GOODWOOD RACES-WEDNESDAY.

The scorching heat of ye,terday no longer prevailed ;
it was succeeded ley a cold, low, dust-raising day—the
very wind which the weatherwise prognosticate generally
" blows up rain."

Towards noon heavy lowering clouds gathered around,
and the rumbling of distant thunder was at times dis-
tinctly heard. The sign, of an impending storm were
u‘!mi takeable, and many persons—ladies in particular—
who had cone unprepared for a pluvial visitation, hur-
ried from the course before the proceedings were brought
to a termination. Just after the race for the Goodwood
Stakes a smart shower fell, and umbrellas and Macin-
toshes were in immedi ,to requisition.
The attendance of general company throughout the
(lay was unquestionably inferior in numerical strength
to that on the previous day.
The appended return of the racing will sufficiently in-
dicate the character of the sport. The most important
feature in the list was the Goodwood Stakes, which
brought out 16 runners. The quotations given below
will show that the betting underwent several changes
at the close. Bribery, the winner, was backed at all
sorts of prices, from 20 to 1 down to 12 to 1. Her suc-
cess, however, was hailed with considerable satisfaction
by the book-makers.
