THE CENSUS.

- _
The Population Returns, just published by
order of the House of Commons, form only.a
brief summary of the Census. The clerks in
the Registrar General's Office are actively en-
gaged in arranging the numerous statisti-
cal details furnished by the superintendents
throughout the United Kingdom, such as
the number of persons engaged in different
trades and professions ; distinguishing those
under certain years of age, commencing with
those under fifteen, then, those under twenty,
and so on, up to the greatest age at which man-
kind are generally able for labour. These returns
will be given as corrected by the master ma-
nufacturers and others, intimately acquainted
with the facts. The population of all the
cities, towns, and boroughs will also be given
separately, with the comparative increase or
decrease for the four decennial periods during
which the Census has been taken. The work,
which requires great labour and skill in the
`arrangement, will yet occupy the com-
pilers for a considerable time ; it will extend to
three, folio volumes, and when completed will
form the most valuable statistical account of the
inhabitants of the United Kingdom ever pub-
lished.
