THE CENSUS OF YORK AND ITS

VICINITY.
(From the York Herald.)
To some of our readers it will be a matter of consi-
derable interest to ascertain the advance of the popula-
tion, and the consequent importance of our ancient city.
In former times, we find that the population of the
suburbs greatly exceeded that of the :city, within the
walls ; but those times are gone, and York, thrown back
by the outrages of war and the progress of manufactures
in other parts, has had many difficulties to contend with.
It, however, has lately risen from its ashes, and, during
the last twenty years, has assumed a progressive im-
provement, which, we trust, will continue till the future
shall surpass the olden time, and rival the most flourish-
ing cities and towns in the British Empire.
Our readers are aware that the Census is taken only
once in ten years. We will, therefore, commence with
1801, and show the increase through succeeding years.
The population, in 1801, was 16,846
1811, ... 19,090
1821, ... 22,529
1831, ... 26,777
1841, ... 29,435

'We, hence, see, that the increase from 1801 to 1811,
was 2,244 ; from 1811 to 1821, the increase was 3,439 ;
and from 1821 to 1831, the increase was 4,248. The in-
crease of the population during the last ten years ap-
pears to be only 2,658. This may be accounted for by
the change in the boundaries of the City. The estimate
is now governed by the Poor-law Union, and we have
at present our City Boundary, our Rural District, and
our Registration District, &c. The consequence is, that
the population does not seem to have increased in pro-
portion to other years. It, however, is a notorious fact,
known to all, that the population of York has increased
far more during the last ten Tears than it ever previously
did in the same portion of time, and that this compara-
tive difference is solely to be attributed to the present
mode of calculating the divisions of the boundaries.
We mention these particulars, in order to prevent
false conclusions, and we feel confident that the spirit of
enterprise is such at the present moment in our city, that
we may look forward to a far greater extension both of
the population, the manufactures, and the general pro-
sperity of Old Ebor.

PARSONS AND ELECTIONS.

All over the country, the parsons have taken an active
part against the people during'the late elections. They
have arrayed themselves on the side of the " withholders
of corn:" and we are told that " he who withholdeth
corn, the people shall curse him."
We profess we did not anticipate that the parsons
would ever take part with the people in the battle for
" daily bread." No ! As they defended the slave trade
and slavery, and opposed the amelioration of the crimi-
nal code, and have uniformly clung to persecution in all its
forms, so do we now expect them to make common cause
with the withholders of corn, and the oppressors of the
poor. But as the slave trade was abolished in spite
of the parsons, and the criminal code was amelio-
rated in spite of the parsons, and the Reform Bill was
carried in spite of the parsons, so also, may we with per-
fect safety predict, will the Corn-laws be abolished, in
spite of all the priests, rectors, deans, and bishops in the
empire.
The parsons cannot fail to provoke most serious in-
vestigations into the real uses of a Church Establishment,
when they are thus found so pertinaciously resisting all
measures proposed for the amelioration of the condition
of the people. Their uniform support of all harsh
and oppressive laws, and their persevering opposition
to all attempts made to educate, to enfranchise, or to
emancipate their fellow-men, must necessarily provoke
discussion of their claims to assume the character of
teachers of a religion of truth, charity, and mercy. Men
who turn up the whites of their eyes and talk about trea-
sures in heaven, are liable to severe scrutiny, when we '
find them directing their whole attention to hoarding up
treasures upon earth, in the shape of tithes, pluralities,
fat livings, and benefices. And when we find fhem pray-
ing God for "daily bread" to the poor one day, and•
going to the poll the next to uphold the starvation laws
of the landlords, surely they then lay themselves open to
the charge of the grossest hypocrisy and deceit.
As professed teachers of the Christian religion, we
would naturally expect the parsons to be the very first
in every good word and work ; but instead of this
we find them to be perpetual clogs upon every scheme
of national amelioration and improvement. But they
do not even teach the religion for which they are
so greatly overpaid. They keep the people grossly ig-
norant : they support bad laws : they administer bad
justice : they make common cause with the persecutor
and oppressor. " They are ready to fight," says John
Milton, " and if it lay in their power to massacre all
good Christians under the names of horrible schismatics,
for only finding fault with their temporal dignities, their
unconscionable wealth and revenues, their cruel authority
over their brethren that labour in the word, while they
snore in their luxurious excess : openly proclaiming
themselves now in the sight of all men to be those which
for a while they sought to cover under sheep's clothing,
ravenous and savage wolves, threatening inroads and
bloody incursions upon the flock, which they took upon
them to feed, but now claim to devour as their lawful
prey."
The clergy should beware in time. They have hitherto
been far too ready on every occasion to show their hos-
tility to the rights and privileges of the people. The
consequence has been, that the great mass of the people
now regard the Church with feelings of indifference and
contempt. It is already thoroughly sapped and under-
mined in the opinions of men ; and the clergy may de-
pend upon it that their present conduct is only hasten- '
ing on the day when it will be openly attacked in the
laws of the country. And, as with an aristocracy, a
Church that has once lost the affections of the people, is
like a tree dead at the root, which is only the more easily
torn up by the winds the higher its branches have
spread.—Leeds Times.
