The various accounts from which the whole has been
compiled have not yet undergone final revision; but, as
we are preliminarily informed, no errors sufficient toin-
validate the fair inferences to be drawn from these
figures need he feared—careful scrutiny will only detect
minute inaccuracies.

From this interesting and important document it would
appear that the population of Great Britain and of the
Islands in the British Seas, as enumerated on March
31st, 1851, was 20,936,468; and that the part of the
army, navy, and merchant service belonging to Great
Britain, but out of the country when the census was
taken, has been estimated from returns to have been
167,604; that of the total number of these persons,
21,104,072, 10,360,325 (including the 167,604 absent
soldiers and sailors) were males, the remaining
10,743,747 females; and the preponderance of females
over males 383,422. -
The actual increase in the inte'rvals of the censuses
between 1801 and the present year has boon steady, and,
till within the last interval, progressive. The total in-
crease in Great Britain and the Islands in the British
Seas, for these fifty years, has bsen 10,317,917—that
from 1841-51 being 2,227,438; for 1831-41. 2,260,749;
for 1821-31, 2,184,542; for 1811-21, 2,132,896; for 1801-
11, 1,479,562, The population (thus nearly doubled)
numbered, therefore, in 1801, it will be seen, 10,567,893
souls, whereas it now counts 20.936,468. This result is
somewhat, but not mater ally, disturbed, by some varia-
tions at the different periods in the mode of enumerating
the army and navy. Females, of course, such circum-
stances do not affect, and the actual increase in their
number during the fifty years under review is said to
have been 5,198 063, whilst that of males is computed at
5,119,854. The proportion maintained between the
sexes has fluctuated considerably at the different periods
quoted; from 1801-11, for instance, the increase of males
was 710,922, that of females, 768,640. In the next
period the scale is turned, and against an increase of
males of 1,137,804 we have that of females 995,092,
There were in 1801 in Great Britain and the Islands in
the British Seas 5,025,035 males, 5,542,856 females.
There were on March 31, 1851, excluding the absent
soldiers and sailors mentioned above, 10,192,721 males,
10,743,747 females. The rate of increase per cent. for
the entire population for fifty years has therefore been
98 per cent.; the annual rate of increase per cent. in
fifty years, 1,37.
Of the whole number (20,936,468) thus enumerated
on 31st March last, England and Wales contained
17,922,768 persons; Scotland, 2,870,784; and the Islands
in the British Seas, 142,916. In each the number of
females is greater than that of males. In England and
Wales there were, at the enumeration, houses inhabited,
3,280,961; in Scotland, 366,650; in Islands in the British
Seas, 21,826; uninhabited in England and Wales,
152,896; in Scotland, 11,956; Islands in the British Seas,
1,077; building iu England and Wales, 26,534; Scotland,
2,378; Islands in the British Seas, 202.
Coming next to "divisions" and registration coun-
ties," the reader is somewhat puzzled at the alteration
hero made in the position of the local landmarks on
which he has been accustomed to rely. The registra-
tion counties, for instance, comprise groups of registra-
tion districts generally conterminous with poor-law
unions; consequently the aggregates of such districts
seldom correspond with the precise boundaries of the
actual counties. According to these arrangements, the
enumeration at Bristol—which is included in one division
—occasions some surprise till viewed by that of Bedmin-
ster, which is placed in another; the apparent inconsist-
ency then disappears. First, then, in the London division,
including parts of Middlesex, Surrey, and Kent, we have
enumerated, for 1851, 2,361,640 persons, 1,103,730 of them
males, 1.257,910 females. Of this total male and female,
Middlesex (part of) supplies the largest proportion,
1,745,095; Surrey (part of) the next, 482,310; and Kent
(part of) the third, 134,235. The London division, in
1801, contained 958,863 souls, and there has been an in-
crease of 1,394,963 between that time and the present.
The rate of increase during the five decennial periods
which it includes has not fluctuated to any remarkable
extent. For the half century it has been 145.51; annual,
I'Bl.
The South-Eastern Division, made up of Surrey (ex-
tra metropolitan), Kent (extra metropolitan), Sussex,
Hampshire, and Berkshire, contained a population in
1801 of 878,066; in 1851, 1,619,351; the increase,
741,295; and the rate of increase for the half century,
84-42.

Whatever opinion may be formed of the specific re-
medy which Mr. Duncan and many who a4ree in the
main with him, propose for the evils of the present cur-
rency laws, there can be no doubt in the minds of im-
partial inqnirers that great alterations in these laws are
required, and that most important improvements may
be made. We may appeal to the report of the Com-
mittee of the House of Lords on the commercial distress
of 1847 as conclusive as to the necessity of a revision of
the present system. The Act of 1844, they reported, has
not prevented commercial excitement and depression, nor
checked improvident speculation, nor proved a security
against violent fluctuations in the value of money, nor
lessened the number and extent of commercial failures,
nor corrected railroad speculation, nor promoted the
power of obtaining banking accommodation on mode-
rate terms. Sir Robert Peel himself considered this
document as so condemnatory of his monetary policy,
that he could not refrain from publicly expressing
his annoyance at its appearance. Nor was the opinion
of their Lordships' Committee arrived at without
extensive investigation and mature consideration.
The mass of evidence collected by them proves their di-
ligent attention to the object for which they were ap-
pointed, viz., the examination of the causes of the panic
of 1847. But were all the facts which could be adduced
in proof of the injurious tendency of the Act of 1844 to
be collected, they would fill blue books beyond all limit
of Parliamentary patience. The town of Liverpool might
itself furnish abundant testimony on this head. Let us
take that of Mr. Samuel Holme, who recently presided
at the Liverpool Currency meeting. He said—
" One of the greatest errors in the late Sir Robert
Peel's Bill was, that in periods of great depression it
made no distinction between a man whose credit was
good, and whose property at his banker's was undoubted
in real,value—it made no distinction whatever, in case of
a panic, between a man who was trading on a borrowed
capital and another who was trading on his own capital.
He felt the effect of that very strongly in his own case,
in the year 1847. It 6c, happened, that in that year he
had a great body of workmen employed on certain
railways which ho had under contract. In that year,
during the panic, he was placed in this position, than
with credit and property at command, far away more
than he wanted, it was impossible for the banks, in con-
sequence of the restricted currency at the time, to find
him either bullion or bank notes. Any security he could
have given them, but they could not obtain the money;
and ultimately it was with great difficulty that they were
able to pay their workmen, and then it was by Govern-
ment itself doing an illegal, act; which gave them relief;
and if this had not been done, he should have been com-
pelled to discharge several hundred men, not because he
had not the means of paying them, but because the
bankers had not the means of giving it to him. Several
eminent merchants and tradesmen told him that they
were in the same position, at that time, and if it had
continued a week longer—if the Government had not
been driven to do an illegal act—his workmen and the
workmen of several other firms, would have had to walk
about the streets. It was for the purpose of getting rid
of such a calamity as this that he hoped something
would be done to make an alteration in our present cur-
rency regulations."
We respectfully request the merchants of Liverpool to
ponder these facts. This statement is made by one
whom they know, a practical man of business. Mr.
Duncan labours under this disadvantage, that he is a
man of popular talent, that he is a scholar, that he is an
enthusiast in the cause of monetary reform, that he has
made great sacrifices for the opinions which he so ably
advocates ; and therefore many who most fully admit
his seal and undoubted ability, speak of his views as
theoretical. Very well. Hear, we say, what practical
men, of business . habits, and whose interest is concerned,
say about the existing monetary system. it eloquence
and disinterestedness are to cause a man's opinions to be
open to suspicion, discard these dangerous endowments,
and go to facts, and men of facts. And if on an appeal
to facts it should be proved that Peel's monetary sys-
tem is a monster evil, which involves this country '
periodically in distress and ruin, then we tell the
merchant princes of Liverpool that they have
a duty to perform, for the neglect of which no ex-
cuse can be invented. They have a duty to perform to
themselves and to their country. And they have, above
all, a duty which they owe to the most numerous and
most helpless class of their fellow•countrymen. Mr.
Holme tells you that if in 1847 Government bad not il-
legally suspended the operation of Peel's Bill, his work-
men, 1;200 or 1,500 in number, must have been turned
out of employ. Mr. Holme, with ample means at cone-
weed, might have been ruined, but his workmen, with
their wives and families, would have been deprived of
their daily bread. A working man's labour alone stands
between him and destitution. The effects of a monetary
crisis, though first felt by rich bankers and merchants,
find their way to the habitation of the humblest of the
producing classes. A drain of gold from the Bank, less
legal tender attainable by the merchant, the manufac-
turer, the contractor, means less food, worse clothing,
worse lodging—or the lodging of the workhouse—for the
patient son of toil. The poor man knows least about the
currency-laws—hefeeis their evil effects most. And. „there-
fore, it is that we impress it as a duty on the rich and
powerful to endeavour to obtain a revision of these most
pernicious and unjust laws. It is vain to subscribe to
charities, to build schools orhospitals, to devise means for
improving the condition of the working classes, while you
allow a system which may ono day cause thousands of
workmen to be thrown destitute on the streets, to remain
in force. We mean not to say theta reform of the monetary
system will remove all the evils which flesh is heir to.
With the best and wisest laws which man can frame,
vice and improvidence will still produce suffering.
Ignorance and want of judgment even, will still entail
distress on the poor. And after all is done that can be
done, there is still much human woe which no human
wisdom or foresight can prevent or alleviate.
"How small, of all that human hearts endure,
That part which laws or kings can cause or cure."
But we are bound by every right principle to do all that
we can to remove the sufferings which bad laws cause,
and to cure the evils which admit of cure, by the enact-
ment of good ones. It is with such feelings that we call
upon the people of Liverpool not to be content with
talking about the currency question, but to do something
to endeavour to obtain redress for the greatest evil of
modern legislation. Redress will be obtained, sooner or
later. The nation is bound over by security to the
amount of eight hundred millions to revise the money
laws. Let no one dream that the currency question will
be " disposed of" while the debt remains. And there
are number.) of thinking men—and they are daily in-
creasing—who will persevere, under any circumstances,
in the attempt to rescue their country from the thral-
dom of the money power. We believe our principles
to be true, and most importantly true; and truth, we
never doubt, will prevail at last.—Derbyshire Courier.

The South Midland Division—consisting of Middlesex
(extra metropolitan), Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire,
Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire, Huntingdonshire, Bed-
fordshire, and Cambridgeshire—which in 1801 numbered
707,322 persons, increased its population in the halt
century by-526,560, and at the rate of 74.44 in the fifty
years.

The Eastern Division—Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk—pro-
gressed at the rate of increase for the half century of
59.68, its population growing from 696,223 to 1,111,701,
an addition of 415,478 during that period.

The South-Western Division—Wiltshire, Dorsetshire,
Devonshire, Cornwall, Somersetshire—enumerating in
1801 a population of 1,100,314, shows now a difference of
697,938, having mounted up in the interval to 1,798,252,
the rate of increase for the half century 63.42.
The West Midland Division—Gloucestershire, Here-
fordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Worcestershire,
Warkwickshire—advancing in the fifty years at the
rate of 95.65, has now a population of 2,131,604, where,
in 1801, it numbered only 1,089,491. The difference is
1,042,113.

Middlesex (part of) had in 1801 a population of
746,718, and has now one of 1,739,902. Surrey (part
of) had then 161,642; has now 450,472. Kent (part of)
had then 50,503; has now 133,452.
In the South-Eastern division, Surrey (extra metro-
politan) has, in the half-century, advanced from a popu-
lation of 109,561, to one of 202,495; Kent (extra metro-
politan), from 258,450 to 480,794; Sussex, from 161,306
to 338,877; Hampshire, from 217,741 to 398,041; Bakal,
from 131,008 to 199,154.
In the South-Midland division, Middlesex (extra me-
tropolitan) has a population of 150,615, where half a
century ago it had 77,582; Hefts, 173,963, instead of
101,802; Bucks, 143,670, instead of 95,827; Oxford-
shire, 170,286, instead of 112,194; Northamptonshire,
213,784, instead of 128,245; Huntingdonshire 60,320,
instead of 34,704; Beds, 129,789, instead of 66,176;
Cambridgeshire, 191,455, instead of 90,702.
In the Eastern division, Essex, in 1801, containing
201,408 persons, has now 342,785; Suffolk then 214,690,
now 335,704; Norfolk, then 271,125, now 433,212.

. .
In the South-Western division, Wilts has in the fifty
years increased its population from 173,906 to 241,003,
Dorset from 109,646 to 177,294, Devon from 343,223 to
562, 623, Cornwall from 193,039 to 355,223, Somerset
from 281,500 to 456,109.
In the West Midland division, Gloucestershire num-
bers now 418,226; in 1801, 228,895 ; Herefordshire now
99,112, then 75,260 ;IShropshire, now 245,019, then
182,695 ; Staffordshire, now 258,762, then 132,423 ;
Warwickshire, now 479,979, then 216,135.
In the North Midland division, the population of Lei-
cestershire has advanced from 133,975 to 234,931 ; of
Rutlandshire, from 18,311 to 24,272 ; of Lincolnshire,
from 205,340 to 399,633 ; of Notts, from 152,573 to
294,438; of Derbyshire, from 140,998 to 260,707.
In the North-Western division, Cheshire, which in
1801 enumerated 189,411, has now 423,356 ; Lanca-
shire, which then numbered 683,252, has experienced
an increase of 1,375,777, and contains now 2,059,029.
In the Yorkshire division, too, the growth has been
considerable. The West Riding has added 762,977 to a
Population which, in 1801, amounted to 576,336 ; the
East Riding (with York) from 127,241 has advanced to
252,001. The North Riding increasing 147,706 by
46,660, enumerates now 194,366.
The Northern division shows considerable progress.
Durham in 1801 showing 159,161, shows now 408,896;
Northumberland has changed 168,078 for 301,205;
Cumberland, less rapid in its strides, has moved on from
117,230 to 194,803; and Westmoreland adds 17,495 to
the 40,878 which it numbered fifty years ago.
Tho Welsh division gives some more surprising re-
sults. Monmouthshire from 54,750, has advanced to
176,276; South Wales has more than doubled its popu-
lation, 299,644 having become 604,022; and North
Wales nearly doubled its numbers, 247,373 being
changed for 403,219. As the general result of these
calculations, we found that the population of England
and Wales enumerated on March the 10th, 1801, and
the few following days, was 8,892,536; the population of
England and Wales enumerated on March 31, 1851, ex-
clusive of persons sleeping in vessels, was 17,877,473;
the difference, 8,984,937, is given as the increase. The
population of 1801 is exclusive of the army, navy, and
merchant men; the population of 1851 includes the army
in England, under the several counties in which the sol-
diers slept or abode on the night of March 30. Conse-
quently the increase may be somewhat over stated.
The population of the various districts in 1841 and
1851 is next recorded. In Kensington them were in
1841, 74,898 persons, there are now 119,980; in Pau-
-1 eras there are now 167,198, there were then 129,969;

In the same period,. the interval between the censuses,
1,692,063 persons emigratedfrum the, Ifilitee Kingdom;
but hOw many of thew were from Ireland we are not in-
formed. In the previous ten years, as may be inferred
from the Cbromistdoners return, 717.913 was the number
of emigrants from among us; and the total during the
twenty-six years, from 1825 to 1850 inclusive, was just
,f,92,617. In 1825 there were 8,741 who went to the
North American colonies, 5,551 to the United States,
485 to the Australian colonies and New Zealand, and
114 to " all other places." In 1850, 32.961 left for the
North American colonies, 223,078 for the United States,
16,037 for the Australian colonies and New Zealand,
and 8,773 fur "all other places." In no previous year
are so many recorded as having gone to the United
States. The emigration elsewhere has been greater on
former occasions than it was in 1850.

THE GREAT EXHIBITION.
Ls:erday the receipts at the doors of the building
amounted to 2,835/. 65., and the number of visitors, an-
cordir g to the police returns, was 58,382.
We understand that the price of season tickets is re-
duced from 3/. and 21. to 30s. and 1/., and that the Com-
mission have come to a resolution, by which the sale of
thoso tickets ceases ca the 31st of Auggist. As we re-
commended a few days ago, the ss. entrance fee on Sa-
turdays is to be reduced, immediately after the proro-
gation of Parliament, to 2s. 61.; but the immense crowd■
that still flock to the Exhibition on the shilling days
render it in the meantime impracticable, in the view of
the Commission, to adopt measures for admitting a
larger prc portion of the humbler classes than now find
their way into the Crystal Palace.

METROPOLITAN INTERMENTS ADVANCES.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—ln the rrcent debate in the House of Commons
on the above subject, the Chancellor of the Exchequer
said "he wished to state the whole difficulty;" he re-
minded the House that " what the Board of Health
thought indispensable, was, that they should be consti-
tuted a permanent body, and should have, practically, a
monopoly of burials, receiving a fee for every person
dying in the metropolitan district;" that the Board of
Health " thought it nec,!ssery that they should be in
possession of all the burial-grounds in the metropolitan
district;" that " the Treasury thought that was going
faster than was expedient, and he (the Chancellor of the
Exchequer) refused his pprintssion"—but "'that it seemed
that the possession of one or two cemeteries would enable
the Board of Health to close the grave-yards in the me-
tropolis, and enable those whose grave-yards were closed
to obtain burying-grounds."
At the present moment there are eight perfectly
well-conducted cemeteries surrounding London, con-
taining, collectively, a larger extent of acreage than
the two hundred Golgothas added together, which
in thirty years have engulphed a million and a
half of the inhabitants. These eight cemeteries are
, respectively presided over by boards quite as com-
petent to discharge their duties, with public approbation,
as the three gentlemen who sign the "report of preli-
minary proceedings under the Metropolitan Interments
Act," notwithstanding the wonderful amount of official
dexterity they possess—seeing (as we learn from the ap-
pendix to said report) that from the sth of August last to
the close of 1850, they dispatched, by post or hand, letters
and packages to the overwhelmning number of 24,339.
What the Board of Health have been doing since the
Ist of January, 1851, the " Report of Preliminary Pro-
ceedings under the Metropolitan Interments Act" saith
not, but if anything like a similar efflux of letters and
packages has issued from Gwydyr House, the public may
very fairly come to the conclusion that they have spent
fully eleven months since they got their Burial Act in
performing—the Comedy of Errors and Much Ado About
Nothing.

It was understood that the scope and intent of the
Metropolitan Interments Act was the total and imme-
diate abolition of the profane and disgusting practice of
burying yearly about 60,000 corpses in and amongst the
hearth-seats of the living. But the 130,0001. advance
now required by the Board of Health as a first instal-
ment of the 700,0001. needed to realise their burial mo-
nopoly scheme, appears to be sought with a view of
making the Brompton Cemetery and the Nunhead Ce-
metery two large grave-pits for the promiscuous inter-
ment of the metropolitan mortality. But what, let us
ask, will be the sanitary condition or Chelsea, Brompton,
and Kensington, from the moment that 20,000, 30,000,
or 40,000 corpses are deposited yearly in their centre ?
As r'gards health, the practice is deadly enough when
burial is distributed amongst the 200 City grave-yarda
end the eight suburban cemeteries. But to accumulate
burial in a spot such as the Brompton Cemetery, sur-
rounded with a deuce and rapidly increasing population,
is an unl:eard-of aggression upon the longevity and com-
fort of the community.

Before the Board of Health made their report in the
spring of last year on extramural sepulture, steps had
been taken by Sir Richard Brouu and Mr. Sprye to
supply the desideratum of a METROPOLITAN NECRO-
roms, or city for the dead, on a comprehensive scale at
Woking, in the county of Surrey, twenty-three miles
distant. For this purpose they entered into a contract
with Lord Onslow for 2,G00 acres of highly suitable soil,
and also completed arrangements with the South-Wes-
tern Railway, by which corpses will be conveyed from
the Waterloo station for lets than 6d. per body—the fares
for mourners back and forward being, Ist class, 65.;
2nd ditto, 3s. 6d., and 3rd ditto; 22.
The Board of Health in the " Report of Preliminary
Proceedings under the Metropolitan Interment Act,'
enumerate amongst tho " business transacted" from sth
of August to 31st December last, reports on fifteen sites
offered to them for metropolitan cemeteries. But they
do not make any mention of a memorial which was pre-
sented to Lord John Russell, as first Lord of the Tre-
sury, in October last, by Sir R. Broun and Mr. Sprye,
offering to make the proposed Necropolis at Woking
an adjunct to the practical working of the Peletropollta!!
Interments Act, thereby relieving the Government of II
dt
outlay in the matter. This memorial was specially referred
to the Board of Health by the Lords of the Treasuryfor
their consideration, and the omission of any notice of
a proposition which would save an (area
700,0001, which would leave undisturbed the
eightiure of
smallth
suburban cemeteries to pursue the even tenor of their
pemotroiailtabbeoßvoearred-
f
burial operations, and which wohurasld,coso,,ltvhee(whole
tousedittilie
Chancellor of the Exchequer's P.
culty" in the case, calls for explanation.
Should this meet the eye of of the metropolismetropolisMembers, it would render a service to the public if he
of Health on the same. It appears strange that Lord
John Russell, with the offer before him which said erred would mtoo,vaenfdo rt
alsohe
fors od ucti
copy
or

f the

re
me-
morial contains, should have " wished to hear some Hon.
Gentleman point out a practical mode of getting quit of
the difficulty of intramural interments." The difficulty
in the case is—the Board of Health. Until the schemes
and designs of Messrs. Chadwick can be buried, the old
abomination will live and thrive. Public enterprise has
already created eight suburban cemeteries, and public)
enterprise is now about to establish a Necropolis equal
in size to thirty liensal-green cemeteries. What more,
then, is needed but to allow these nine bodies to do
their work unmolested, and free from interruption, ex-
cept they should happen to transgress in matters of
sanitation. In the latter case it should be the duty of
the Board of Health to act as a medical police in
interment matters. But that is one thing—to become
undertakers-general, grave-providers, and coffin-makers,
is another. Mr. Williams might very well characterise
the purchasing of two cemeteries as " a job." There
is no need whatever for the Board of Health to expend
sixpence in the purchase of graveyards, much less
130,0001. The passing of that grant will only open the
door for a recurrence of similar demands; and it is to
be hoped the House of Commons will stil negative the
proposal of the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
I am, Sir, &c.,
ZENO.
