POLITICAL STATE OF CANADA.
The Toronto Globe gives a series of tabular statements
respecting the political state of Canada, from which we
gather the following items:—
In Upper Canada twenty-three constituencies have re-
turned Liberal members to the present Parliament. The
aggregate number of their inhabitants is 493,929. The
remaining eighteen constituencies have returned nine-
teen Tory members--while their aggregate population
is only 238,658. Two to one of the inhabitants of this
province have returned Liberal members. The average
number represented by each member is 17,217. The
average number represented by each Reform member is
22,015 ; while the average of representation of each
Tory member is 12,560,
In Lower Canada, according to the estimate of the
population for 1848, each of the forty-two members
represents 18,293. Of these, thirty. five members have
been returned on the Liberal and seven on the Tory
interest. The Liberals represent a population of 705,265,
and the Tory only 73,058.
The aggregate number of Liberal constituencies,
then, is as follows :—ln Upper Canada, 483,912; Lower,
695,268—t0ta1, 1,179,180. The Tory constituencies
number, 313,417, of which 218,658 are in Upper, and
73,058 in Lower Canada.

The census, according to ages, makes the population
of Upper Canada, 735,879. No census having been
taken in Lower Canada since 1844, an approximating
series of calculations was necessarily instituted, which
gave a result of 768,434 inhabitants, the increase being
taken at 79,552 over 1847.

QUEEN'S THEATRE, HULL.—This theatre opened
for the eeason last night, when the manager, Mr. Caple,
had the satisfaction of seeing a well filled house.
Amongst the audience we observed—Mr. Sheriff Fearne,
Mr. ex-Sheriff Malam, Mr. Alderman Sandal, and par-
ties. The redecorations, executed by Mr. Peck, and
the new act drop, painted by Mr. Dally, deserve the
highest encomiums. The performance commenced with
the Winter's Tale, after which God save the Queen was
sung by the whole company;- and, on the manager being
loudly called for, he stepped forward and addressed the
audience in a neat speech. Miss Goddard personated
Hermione, and in the statue scene was admirable. Mr.
E. Graham took the part of Leontes with his usual abi-
lity. The whole of the performers appeared to do their
utmost to please, while the audience did not fail to give
their warm tokens of approbation.
ROYAL VISIT TO VAUXHALL STATlON.—Yester-
day afternoon some considerable interest was manifested
in the immediate vicinity of the Vauxhall station of the
South-Western Railway by the appearance of the royal
carriages and four, with out-riders, at the bridge-road
entrance of the station, and the alighting of Prince
Albert from the foremost of the carriages. His Royal
Highness, who was attended by the Marquis of Aber-
corn, arrived at about twenty minutes past four o'clock,
and was escorted up the private staircase to the platform
by Mr. Macartby, the ticket collector, in the absence of
the agedt, when it was ascertained that the Prince had
come to,meet the Queen of the Belgians, who had been
on a visit to her illustrious parents, the ex-King and
Queen of France, at Claremont, and who was to return
to town by the 3.55 train from Esher. His Royal High-
ness, in the interval that elapsed, minutely inspected the
station, with which be seemed much pleased. The ex-
pected train arrived at its appointed time, 4.35, when the
Prince assisted the Queen of the Belgians to alight, and
escorted' her Majesty to one of the royal carriages, into
which he himself got, and the carriages started off at a
rapid rate over Vauxhall-bridge for Buckingham Palace.
This is the first occasion of royalty visiting the station,
and, from the flattering remarks made by Prince Albert
respecting it, there is little doubt but that the directors
may be induced to make it what it was.originally in-
tended to be—viz , the royal station.
