Returns have been sent by the Superintendent Re-
gitrars of the City of London, the West London, and
the East London Unions, to the Registrar-General's
Office, of the population of the several parishes forming
the Union, agreeably to the 3d and 4th Vic.' c. 99, the
3d and 4th Vic., c. 100, and the 4th and sth Vic., c. 7.
The parishes are as follow : •
CITY OF LONDON UNlON.—Ninety-eightlarishes.
WEST LONDON UNION.—St. Andrew, Holborn ; St.
Bride, St. Bartholomew the Great, and St. Bartholomew
the Less.

BRIDEWELL PRECINCT.—St. Dunstan in the West and

Botolph, Aldersgate ; St. Botolph, Aldgate ; and
Bishopsgate.
The total results are—Males, 46,263 ; females, 48,963.
Grand total population, 1831, 123,897 ; 1841, 126,242.
Excess of 1841 over 1831, 3,655. Excess of females
over males, 2,673, with the exception of the West Lon-
don Union, which were not obtained, but where they
scarcely vary.
In the above returns are included the. Fleet Prison, in
St. Bride's, which contained 230 persons; the East Lon-
don Union Workhouse, which contained 157 persons;
the West London Union Workhouse, which contained
387 persons; St. Bartholomew's Hospital, which con-
tained 533 persons; Bridewell Hospital, which contained
154 persons ; Newgate, which contained 265 persons; the
Ladies' School, King-street, which contained 51 persons;
the Giltspur-street Compter, which contained 210 persons;
Whitecross-street Prison, which contained 585 persons;
the workhouse in Bishopsgate, which contained 297 per-
sons; and St. Sepulchre's workhouse. which contained
85. Many of the parishes within the walls of the City
of London, and which are formed into the City of Lon-
don Union, have a population of between 100 and 200
persons. According to the return of 1831, in the parish
of St. Christopher-le-Stock, Threadneedle-street, the
population was only 72. According to the same retnrn
there were only twelve parishes which contained more
than 1,000 persons, the most populous being St. Ann,
Blackfriars, whose population was 2,622; Christchurch,
Newgate-street, the same number; and St. Stephen,
Coleman-street, which had a population of 1,014.

Messrs. BROWNE and CART WRIGHT, Surgeon-
Dentists, 21, Fleet-street, beg to call public attention to their
new and beautiful EVERLASTING TEETH, the most clean
and wholesome that can be worn. They are so exactly formed
to nature, both in shape and colour, that the closest observer
cannot detect the difference, with this advantage—they never
change colour, decay, or wear out ; and a complete set, on fine
gold, for which they will only charge 15 to 18 guineas, will last
for 20 years or upwards, and are far superior to those usually
charged 30 or 40 guineas ; a single tooth, one guinea ; three
ditto, two guineas and a half. Natural teeth supplied from 51.
per set, or 10s. per tooth. Messrs. Browne and Cartwright's
method of fitting neither requires the extraction of stumps nor
gives the slightest pain ; and having had upwards of 20 years'
experience in the profession, can guarantee to restore perfect
mastication and articulation, having succeeded in thousands of
cases, in hundreds of which other dentists had entirely failed.
The above are totally different from the brittle glossy French
teeth, usually supplied by dentists as newly-discovered mineral
&c. A visit will convince the most sceptical of the fact.

NEWSPAPERS!

MARVELLOUS CREATION OF

READERS ! !

Our excellent Contemporary, the Morning
Advertiser, in commenting on the disputed circu-
lation of the other Morning Journals, gives the
following edifying, yet modest, account of its own
extensivb circulation. It is as follows :

"We destroy no stamps—we export rib paper
to Hamburg with stamps cut off, ours is a genuine
sale—and when we add that this journal is read
by forty to one of any journal published in Lon-
don, or within 25 miles of it, which we are ready
to prove, the boastings of these journals, and
their quarrels, are not worth a moment's consi-
deration.

" Circulation 380,000 in three months.
"Ann/tally, ONE- MILLION FOUR HUNDRED
AND FORTY THOUSAND, which, being multiplied as
above—or only leave the half of our statement
to be correct—gives a circulation in point of
readers which no journal can boast !"

Boast indeed would be hopeless for any
Journal, not even excepting the Times, or " the
great Globe itself;" to boast of any thing compar-
able to such a circulation of readers—unle s,
perhaps, it be the memorable garrison of Gibral-
tar, under the renowned Elliot, who made the
soldiers pass round and round in review before
the Spaniards, till they thought the'rnuster-roll
would never end. And so with the Morning
Advertiser circulation—we can hardly reckon
it up with tolerable correctness; let us see—One
million four hundred and forty thousand—what
beautiful alliteration! But come to figures—or,
as our learned Contemporary would say, to the
sctatch—
Circulation
Multiplied by. 4O

Gives
This is really astounding !—so much so, that
our worthy friend seems rather posed himself—
" And back recoils, he knows not why—
E'en at the sound himself had made !"
For in his exultation he generously offers to
knock off one half of his readers, (we wish he
would give them to us f) and yet he will have a
circulation "of which nd journal can boast "—for
see—the half of fifty-seVen million six hundred

thousand is somewhere about 28,800,000 readers,
being about the amount of the interest of the
National Debt !—Twenty-eight millions of read-
ers!—bless their learning! We never could
satisfactorily account for the march of mind be-
fore ! But here it is, as pain as a pikestaff.
However, there is no glory without a drawback.

Envy will follow merit as its shade—

And a wicked wag has just thrown a huge blue
book on our table, 'ycleped Population Returns
for the three Kingdoms, defying us to find out
the readers, which he says do not exist—the po-
pulation for the three Kingdoms being only
twenty-six millions ;--and he modestly doubts if
they all can read—certainly not the wild Irish,
who are to be struck out of the new Registra-
tion Bills. This is a sad dilemma; but hold—
" you have forgotten the increase in the popula-

tion, which the next returns will show." -Good,
good ! this proves the circulation beyond doubt,

readers—bar Ting a million or two 1

IRELAND.

THE REGISTRATION BILL—The entire country is up and
doing- all that hatred of Toryism and its measures can suggest
to mark the sense of the people against Lord Stanley's Bill,
while the true Reform Bill of Lord Morpeth daily enlists in its
favour thousands assembled at public meetings to record their
app!oval of its principles,
KING'S COUNTY ELECTION.—The Tory candidate, Mr.
Bernard, after a long secret canvass, has declared himself, an d
the Orange journals are appealing most beseechingly to the
" out-voters"—the fictitious Rent-Chargers and the absentee
parsons—to come to the rescue. But, the people are prepared,
and they defy the local Orange confederacy as a ell as their
allies out of the county. The nomination took place to-day,
but, probably, the polling did not commence, as it is not denied
that the chief object of the contest, on the part of the faction,
is to delay the return, in order to prevent Mr. Armstrong from
voting for Lord Morpeth's, or against Lord Stanley's Bill.—
Dublin Evening Post.

awiti or AN ALDEILMAN.-The sudden exit of an Alder-
man under circumstances which leave no doubt that those who
confided in him, in pecuniary transactions, have severely suf-
fered, has been the town-talk for some days past. We should
not, 'pending proceedings for a fiat of bankruptcy, have at all
alluded to the matter, but that we have seen exaggerated state-
ments of the amount of the losses sustained—one account re-
presenting it to he 100,0001. Our information leads us to be-
lieve that the " liabilities" are not one-fourth of that sum ;
but, certainly, considering that the' defaulting party was not
in any regular branch -of commerce, oven that would be enor-
mous. '1 he principal sufferers are persons belongiirg to the'
party in the corporation, of which the Alderman has been so
stirring and influential a member. The question whether the
Alderman's case comes within the Bankruptcy Act—whether he
comes under the designation of " buyer and seller," according
t o the terms of the law, is still undecided ; but the Court is
hourly expected to pronounce its judgment.—Mercantile

LONDON:
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1841.

The Peers met yesterday in their legislative
capacity, and received from the Commons the
Exchequer Court and Tithe Composition (Ire-
land) Bills.

Lord WHARNCLIFFE expressed a wish to have
what the LORD HIGH STEWARD said on the late
memorable trial put on record and published, as
it would put an end to much of the nonsense, the
Noble Lord said, that was talked on the subject.
We presume, therefore, that the speech deli-
vered by Lord DENMAN, during the exclusion of
strangers, has been very satisfactory to the
Peers, and means will be fbund, we hope, to
enable the public to share that satisfaction. and
come to as dear a conviction as their Lordships
possessed that they were perfectly justified m
pronouncing a verdict of acquittal on their ho-
nour, when the fact that the Earl of CARDIGAN
did designedly wound a person in a duel was
clearly proved. Lord W HARNCLIFFE also gave
notice that he would bring in a Bill to clear up
doubts as to a Peer pleading privilege, for the.
credit of their Lordships.
Lord BROUGHAM, in presenting; some petitions,
took the opportunity to ask whether the Govern-
ment of Ireland had refilsed to nominate Mr.
ROCHE as Sheriff for Cork, because he was fa-
vourable to the Repeal of the Union, and to ex-
press his opinion, though he was opposed to
Repeal, that such a mode of proceeding was
not the right way to put it down.
The Marquis of NORMANDY had no official in-
formation on the subject, but he believed the
fact was so.

The Earl of RIPON brought the state of our
relations with Persia before their Lordships,
and blamed the silence which had been observed
concerning them by the Government. He also
blamed the conduct of the Government and of
our Ambassador, and concluded by moving an
address for correspondence between our Govern-
ment and Persia.

Viscount MELBOURNE stated that all out dif-
ferences with Persia had been accommodated,
except one relating to the possessions of the for-
tress of Gourcal, belonging to Herat. An officer
had been sent to see that it was restored, and as
soon as that was done our Ambassador would re-
turn to Teheran. The motion was agreed to.
The Bishop of EXETER complained of an ordi-
nance relating to Canada, which was ordered to

or generally agreed on.
The Governer Fenner is said to have been
wretchedly crazy. it appears that she was thir-
teen years old, which is not a great age for a ship
originally well built of good British oak. What
it may be considered for a ship built of American
oak or pine, we cannot say ; but there is a reason,
in the destruction of the Governor Fenner, to
believe that she was in a bad condition. She
struck the steamer a-midships, the weakest part
ot the steamer, with her bow, the very strongest
part of the ship ; and yet the Governor Fenner,
not the steamer, instantly sunk. A carelessness
or an utter disregard of human life, when put
into competition with making money, or gratify-
ing the hateful thirst for gold, is one of the cha-
racteristics of this age ; and we hope that no ac-
cusation of the kind will lie against the owners
and captain of the Governor Fenner. It will be
impossible, however, to satisfy the relatives and
friends of the lost passengers, and impossible to
satisfy the public, that a great fault, not to say a
great crime, has not been committed, unless it
can be distinctly proved by LLOYD'S books, by
premiums of insurance, by the surveyors who
examine vessels, that the Governor Fenner was
a perfectly sea-worthy vessel.

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result
of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec-
tioi.s, which for some unaccountable reason have been either
altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in-
difference, by the ei dinary practitioner. To enter into the
details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to
mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical,
which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits,
would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have
no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of
society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe-
ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA-
RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN.

imprisonment of Col. Stoddart. The house would re-
member that last year the Noble Lord was good enough
to state that Col. Stoddart had been unjustly detained
at Bukhara, and that the Government would use all
the means in their power to obtain reparation and the re-
lease of Colonel Stoddart. He would be glad to know
whether these objects had been attained.
Lord PALMERSTON was sorry to say that the
exertions of her Majesty's Government to obtain the
liberation of Colonel Stoddart had not us yet been suc-
cessful. Still he had hopes that they would eventually
succeed in obtaining it. Colonel Stoddart bad been
subjected to very severe and unjustifiable treatment
during his confinement. He would not now go into
the details, but he might state generally that he had
reason to believe that during the time he was confined,
Colonel Stoddart might have obtained his release at
the intercession of the agent of a foreign power, but
Colonel Stoddart not knowing that the intervention of
that agent was sanctioned by his own Government
very honourably and nobly declined to avail himself of
that offer. He said that he was employed by the
British Government, and that it was only to his own
Government he would be indebted for his release.
Meantime the Government was employing all the means
in its power to effect his liberation.
Captain HAMILTON gave notice that, on Wed-
nesdav, he would ask the Noble Secretary for the Co-
lonies' a question respecting the Assistant Poor-law
Commissioners, in taking evidence of witnesses in
private.
Mr. L ABOUC HERE gave notice, that on the Bth
of March he would move that the House resolve itself
into Committee upon the Customs duties of the pro-
duce of the West Indies and our North American
Colonies.
Sir E. KNATCHBULL moved for an account of
all sums of money paid to the Poor Law Commis-
sioners in the years 1836, 1837, 1838, 1839, and 1840,
and also an account of all suits to which the Poor-law
Commissioners were parties, the costs incurred, and
the results of such suits.—Ordered.
Lord MAHON begged leave to renew a question
which he formerly put to the Secretary for Foreign
Affairs. He wished to know what progress had been
made in the negotiations with foreign countries respect-
ing an international copyright kw ?
Lord PALMERSTON said that propositions bad
been made to the Government of France, the United
States, the Germanic Confederation, Saxony, and

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

We have been long and most assiduously labouring to win
to our uncongenial northern shore that wayward and gay '
daughter of " the sweet south"—masquerade. The experi-
ment has proved almost uniformly vain. We have neither the
quick facetious vein—nor the spontaneous dramatic spirit from
which this singular popular emanation breaks forth in its native
soil. It is the embodiment of the soul of satire amongst the
children of Italy—it throws the pasquinade into the various
forms of farce, and through that medium lashes the prevailing
follies of the time. We cannot personify its jocund train, and
for the most part, fall into most pitiable mockery. The ordi-
nary public masquerades in this our metropolis, have been dis-
gusting for their unmitigated grossness—their coarsely animal
character—their utterly vulgar Saturnalian quality. The
effort now made at this theatre to give them something of a
better tone is creditable. It greatly mitigates their demerits.
It emulates the Bals Masques of Paris, and may be consi-
dered to realise a very animated fancy ball, in which attention
to something like order is preserved and well regulated, exten-
sive exhibition of dance, set off with a great variety of bright
and picturesque costume, is secured. The arrangements
for the display of last night were very complete in the house.
The orchestra was brought to a position at the centre of the
dress circle. A fresh crimson drugget was laid down on the
boards of the whole area, and the theatre appeared to be bril-
liantly lit up. The dress circle was appropriated to the use of
the masqueraders—the other parts of the house were reserved
for spectators, and from the very commencement of the night's
work they were occupied by a crowd which seemed very much
to enjoy the scene upon which it looked down. The number
of masqueraders was very great indeed, and they exhibited many
very elegant, and some most striking specimens of costume.
Amongst the more prominent supporters of the scene in its true
spirit were a considerable number of French artistes, as we must
call them, and they gave an animation to the dance, in which a
more than ordinary Vestris character prevailed. The music
was excellent, and well calculated to inspire the children of
Terpsichore on the occasion. The attendance of dominoes was
very full. The arrangements for refreshment and for supper
were plenary and convenient, and the whole affair passed off with
the most ample success.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE SUN.

Sitt,—On Thursday last one of the most numerous and re-
spectable meetings of the inhabitants ever held in this town
took place, at the Guildhall, on the occasion of the presenta-
tion of a silver salver and tea service, value one hundred
guineas, to G. L. Parrott, Esq., Master in the Royal Navy and
one of her Majesty's Justices of the Peace for the Borough. This
valuable mark of respect from his fellow-townsmen was pre-
sented to Mr. Parrott, as a testimonial of their gratitude for
his arduous and successful exertions in rescuing them
from the mischievous effects of the notorious frauds by which
the first election of Councillors in this Borough, under the
Municipal Reform Act, was so unfortunately distinguished, and
in remedying the evils occasioned by thelsubsequentmisgovern-
ment of the town by the Tory party, who for a time had the
ascendancy in the Council. It will serve to mark the triumph
of Liberal principles in Poole, to state that the Council, which
originally consisted of 17 Tories and 7 Liberals, now contains
18 Liberals and 6 Tories ; and the conduct of the two parties
cannot be better contrasted than by the mention of the facts,
that the Tory party, with a rental from corporate property of
8001. per annum at the time they took office, made borough-
rates in the course of four years, exceeding 10,00 W. in amount,
whilst the present Council, without the aid of any rental (for
the corporate property having been seized in execution for the
compensation awarded by the Tories to their partisan—the
former Town Clerk—have required for the current half-year
a borough-rate of 800/. only,
.of which sum 5001. have been
applied in payment of debts incurred by their predecessors.
The inhabitants are deeply indebted to Mr. Parrott, for the
zeal and ability displayed in his exertions to bring about this
beneficial change, as well as for his straightforward and honour-
able conduct as a Magistrate ; and the manner in which they
have acknowledged their obligations must be highly gratifying
to him. The plate, bearing an appropriate inscription, and
written address, expressive of their grateful esteem and admi-
ration of the inhabitants towards Air. Parrott, for his conduct
as a Magistrate and a citizen, were presented by George
Penn;,}., Esq., the Mayor, on behalf of the subscribers.
Poole, Feb. 20, 1941.

A very considerable failure was talked of as
having occurred at Hamburgh. The house named (that
of Eimbke and Cc.) has been engaged in the corn trade,
and its stoppage is understood to have bean caused by that
of k firm at rk which suspended its payment some time
since.

IRELAND.

THE REGISTRATION BILL.—The entire country is up and
doing all that hatred of Toryism and its measures can suggest
to mark the sense of the people against Lord Stanley's Bill,
while the true Reform Bill of Lord Morpeth daily enlists in its
favour thousands assembled at public meetings to record their
approval of its principles,
KING'S COUNTY ELECTION.—The Tory candidate, Mr.
Bernard, after a long secret canvass, has declared himself, and
the Orange journals are appealing most beseechingly to the
"out-voters"—the fictitious Rent-Chargers and the absentee
parsons—to come to the rescue. But, the people are prepared,
and they defy the local Orange confederacy as well as their
allies out of the county. The nomination took place to-day,
but, probably, the polling did not commence, as it is not denied
that the chief object of the contest, on the part of the faction,
is to delay the return, in order to prevent Mr. Armstrong from
voting for Lord Morpeth's, or against Lord Stanley's Bill.—
Driblin Evening Post.
FLIGHT OF AN ALDERMAN.—The sudden exit of an Alder-
man under circumstances which leave no doubt that those who
confided in him, in pecuniary transactions, have severely suf-
fered, has been the town-talk for some days past. We should
not, pending proceedings for a fiat of bankruptcy, have at all
alluded to the matter, but that we have seen exaggerated state-
ments of the amount of the lasses sustained—one account re-
presenting it to be 100,000/. Our information leads us to be-
lieve than the " liabilities" are not one-fourth of that sum;
but, certainly, considering that the defaulting party was not
in any regular branch of commerce, even that would be enor-
mous. 't he principal sufferers a; e persons belonging to the
party in the corporation, of which the Alderman has been so
stirring and influential a member. The question whether the
Alderman's case comes within the Bankruptcy Act—whether he
comes under the designation of " buyer and seller," according
to the terms of the law, is still undecided ; but the Court is
hourly expected to pronounce its judgment.—Mercantile Ad-
vertiser.
