THE CENSUS.

Of all the Returns that load the tables of public
men, and ultimately " wrap up" sugar and tea,
none are so popular as the Decennial Census. As
a race we assign a high place to the command to
increase and multiply and replenish the earth. We
consider it our vocation to people the wilderness.
Then, how rapidly does Time take with us elders
this gigantic stride from 1851 to 1861! In how
many respects is this year different from that, and
this decennial period from that which preceded it !
During the last ten years we, who were told to
expect the Millenium, have had two great wars,
which, though distant, drained our armies, and spent
in the work of death what would otherwise have
gone to the common stock of peace and plenty at
home. We have had an unexamplediemigration,
and vast cities have risen up in the antipodes,
peopled by men and women who would other-
wise have pressed on the common resources of
home. How does all this work ? Then we look
around, and see in France the phenomenon of a
population which hardly increases, and which
allows itself to be as much attached to the soil as
our Saxon " villeins," or the serfs recently eman-
cipated by Russia. The United States, which but
the other day all confidently expected to reach a
hundred millions in half a century more, have sud-
denly broken up, and are now preparing to show
by mutual extermination how it was the human
race was so many ages at a standstill. So, how
are we doing, and what addition have we made to
our family ? The greatest fact of the Census is
that the population of England and Wales is not 1
increasing quite so fast as it hat dolle—in fact,
that the ratio of increase is steadily decreasing.
This does not signify very much, nor is the fact one
to be alarmed at. An increase at home of only
2,176,576 is not one to be ashamed of, for it is about
150,000 more than the increase in the preceding
period ; but, as the population is much greater, the
increase ought to have been more, and no doubt
would have been but for the causes alluded to. The
decrease in the ratio of increase is curiously uniform.
In that marvellous decennial period between 1811
and 1821, which included the general peace, the re-
turn of our armies and navies, the remission of war
taxes, and what may be called the revival of the
arts and sciences, the increase was 16 n_ r cent. In
the successive periods, down to that ending last
Easter-day, the increases have been respectively 15,
14, 13, and 12 per cent. The above ratios of in-
crease are easy to remember ; so also, for the pre-
sent, is the fact that the population of England and
Wales and the smaller islands is, in round numbers,
20 20,205,504; the fact that, inclu-
sive of army, navy, and merchant seamen abroad,
the population of England and Wales, without the
smaller isles, is 20,223,746; the fact that the popu-
lation has more than doubled since we were pre-
paring against an invasion in 1801 ; and the fact
that the number of the inhabited houses, which
nearly doubled in the first 40 years of the century,
is now 3,745,463, against 1,575,923 in 1801.
The most curious results of the Census are those
which can only be thoroughly appreciated by the
residents in the counties and towns ; but they will
often surprise. Taking the counties alphabetically,
we may venture to ask why Bedfordshire, with a
population of 135,265, should have increased by
10,787, when Perks, with 176,103 has only increased
6,050 ? Is it that the one is less attractive, or that
there is more of that freedom, enterprise, and per-
sonal ability which prompt the young and strong,
to seek their fortunes elsewhere? That Bucking-
hamshire, with nearly as large a population, should
only have increased by 2,874, and that Cambridge-
shire, with a population as large, should exhibit a
decrease of 9,455, is very intelligible. Cheshire
shares the fortunes of its neighbour across the
Mersey, and its increase of 49,428 in about half-a-
million brings it up very nearly to the general rate
of English increase. Cornwall, in spite of its
mines, has only increased 13,765 in a population of
369,323. Cumberland seems to exhibit the usual
moderate increase of a thriving agricultural county
which is about half the general ratio of increase for
ail England. Derbyshire rises above the general
average, its increase being 43,293 in a population of
339,377. Devonshire, with a population nearly
twice as large, hasincreased not half as much—viz.,
17,433. Poor Dorset has not done so much amiss,
having actually made 4,444 in a population of
188,651. Durham is the first county in the list
where we come to one of those grand figures which
swell the result. lead countervail against the lower
rates we have hitherto been dealing with. On its
population of 509,018 the increase is 118,021,
which is more than twice the average rate, and
itself the population of a small county. Coal, it
is evident, is the flame of life in this
country, the vestal fire which burns for ages,
and the luminary at whose exhaustion it may
be truly said that "England's sun has set
for ever." Essex :has a good neighbour in the
metropolis, and rises nearly to the average rate of
increase. Gloucestershire does not find the Severn
so prolific as the Thames, for its ratio of increase is
only about half the average rate. llerefordshire has
done pretty well as an agricultural county ; Herts
not so well, and Huntingdonshire, the first small
county in this list, has almost stood still. In Kent,
amain, we come within the metropolitan influence.
Smoke and dirt breed fast, and whatever shortens
life, in this country at least, is sure to create
" masses." In a population of 733.675 the increase
is 117,909—n0t Quite so much as in Durham, with
two-thirds of tlie population. Lancashire is the
leviathan which has evidently absorbed the natural
increase of many
smaller countiee. In a population
of 2,428,744 the increase is there 397,508,—a popu-
lation nearly as large as that of Essex or Lincoln,
notwithstandingand larger than

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT ON A RAILWAY.—The
tramroad between Carnarvon and the Nantile slate quar-
ries is also employed for the conveyance of passengers, the
carriages being drawn by horses. On Tuesday, as the train
leaving Nantile at 11 5 a.m. was &bout two miles from Car-
narvon, drawn by two horses, the first carriage got off the
rail at a sharp turning, which was also, unfortunately, at
the top of an embankment ten yards high; the whole train
was precipitated down the declivity, dragging the pair of
horses after it. Unhappily, Mre. Rowlands, the wife of
Mr. Richard Rowlands, Bank Quay, Carnarvon, was found
dead among the debris. Another lady had her arm frac-
tured, and one or two others were slightly injizred.

FAIHER DALY AND LORD PALMER-
STON.

Father Daly is at home again, and is crowing
lustily. At a meeting in Galway on Monday he gave
a funny account of his interview with Lord Palmer-
ston, which scarcely admits of abridgment :
" At a meeting of the trades of Galway this day
the Rev. Mr. Daly gave an account of his mission
to London on the subject of the packet station. In
reference to his interview with Lord Palmerston
the rev. gentleman said he went with a written let-
ter in his hand to the residence of the Premier of
England, was admitted, and inquired for his lord-
ship, as he expected he would be at home, having
official advice of his intended visit. But, to tell the
truth, and not to draw any conclusion, the servants
in the hall told him that his lordship had gone out.
He expressed his surprise, and left a letter for his
lordship in these terms The Rev. Peter Daly
presents his respects to Lord Palmerston, and re-
quests an interview of five minutea with his lord-
ship upon the question of the Galway contract.'
He left that letter with his visiting card, and said,
as his lordship was not then at home, he would
call again. To shorten details, he did call again,
and before he did he went to see Mr. Gregory, who
advised him to call again. He accordingly called
at 2 o'clock, inquired for his lordship, and received
the same answer, that he had not returned. "That
was perfectly true; but the reason was, his lord-
ship had not gone out at all. (Laughter.) He (Father
Daly) expressed his doubts that his lordship was
out, and told the servant that it was very possible
he would call again. (Cheers.) He did call again,
at 5 o'clock, and saw his lordship's horse saddled at
the door, and was admitted at the very moment
that his lordship was very anxious to take an airing,
because it was very long for an elderly gentleman
of his kind to be closeted up to that hour of the
day. (Laughter and cheers.) Lord Palmerston
received him very courteously, shook hands with
him, and said,—' How do you do, Mr. Daly ?' and
considering his courtesy, he thought he might belon
very familiar terms with his lordship. He (Father
Daly) said he had been there at 1 o'clock, and that
he understood from Mr. Brand, Secretary of the
Treasury, that his lordship should meet him, but
he was told he was out. His lordship said, I have
not been out all day." His reply was, Well, my
lord, it is not my Ault to detain you now from your
ride, for your servants told me you were out.
' Well,' said he, I was not out all day. So I
thought, my lord,' said I—(loud laughter)—but I
could not intrude myself on your servants ; how-
ever, I have come, trusting you will give me a short
interview on the subject of the Galway packet sta-
tion and the subsidy. I come here at the request
of the people of Galway, and I hope you will tell
me if it is the intention of your Ministry to abide
by the letter of the Postmaster-Gmeral, annulling
the contract that was honourably entered into be-
tween Ireland and the Government of England.'
Oh,' said he, your company have broken the con-
tract.' My lord,' I said—and I said the truth, and
the Irish members afterwards admitted I said the
truth—' I don't advocate the company—l don't
come here to defend their acts or deeds, I
am not at all disposed to be their advocate, or to
hide their mismanagement ; there is no person more
sensible of their demerits than I am, but the ques-
tion is not between the Atlantic Company and the
Government you preside over, but between Ireland
and the Government of England. It is to that
alone I direct myself, and I don't speak on behalf
of any company or any private individual, although
I deplore that if this step is persevered in by the
English Ministry, it will be the ruin of thousands
of poor people who, from a feeling of patriotism and
love of country, put the whole savings of their lives
into the company.' 'Well,' said he, ' the act of the
Postmaster-General is the act of the Government,
and we do not dissever ourselves from the Post-
master-General." Well,' said I, would you say
that it is the intention of the Government to perse-
vere in that resolution?' Oh,' said he, ' why do
you ask me that question ?' I answered Because,
my lord, I mean to bring a deputation of Irish
members, and as many more as I can collect, to pre-
sent the memorial from the people of Galway, and
to represent the wishes of Ireland." Are you the
ambassador of Ireland ?' said he. (Laughter.)
Undoubtedly he said that with a very benignant
smile, and I endeavoured to return the smile with
my own ugly grimace. (Laughter.) But,' I said,
with the humility that ought to become a priest,
I would not assume the position of ambassador
from Ireland, but I tell you candidly I speak the
mind of Ireland. (Cheers.) May I then hope, my
lord, you will receive the deputation on Monday on
this subject with me ?" Why Monday ?' said he.
' Oh,' said I, I would not have time to-day or to-
morrow to make up the deputation, for many of the
Irish members are not yet come over.' But,' said
my lord, would not any other day after Monday
be as good ? There is a very serious question to
come on Monday ; why do you choose that day ?'
' Oh,' my lord,' I replied, it is precisely on that
account I choose Monday.' (Cheers.) The truth
was that on this occasion the trial of Irish interests
was to be settled and determined. (Hear.) By that
I meant no unconstitutional pressure on the Minis-
try, but I meant that the Irish members should act,
or, as the term now is, take action' for the benefit
of the country, and when Lord Palmerston asked
what course of action' they would take, I said, I
am not prepared to tell you what course of action
they will take, because they are not come from Ire-
land in sufl•'icient number ; but I will tell you what
I think they ought to do, and what their course of
action ought to be—to secure the interests of their
own country before those of any other. (Loud and
prolonged cheering.) Father Daly then reviewed
his exertions to get together a phalanx' of mem-
bers ; 75 Irish members, he said, stuck together
like a wall, and made the Ministers of England
shake and totter on their benches. Some people had
said Father Daly had a fight with Lord Palmerston.
Now, that was a falsehood, for they closed their in-
terview as they began it—with a shake of the
hand. (Cheers.) Lord Palmerston had thought fit
to make their private conversation public. He
(Father Daly) would do the same. Lord Palmerston
said, I think it is desirable there should be quick
communication established between the west coast
of Ireland and America, and I think Galway is that
point. (Cheers.) His conversation with Lord Pal-
merston had created a vast deal of jocularity, and
an immensity of interest in the public mind of Eng-
land, but in reality it was of more interest that at
first might appear. It was made by Lord Palmer-
ston himself a matter of political advantage to his
party, for it must have been Lord Palmerston who
informed Lord J. Russell that there was an attempt
by Father Daly to coerce the Ministry of England.
However, he (Father Daly) was there to proclaim
that Lord Palmerston's account was a perversion
and a wilful misrepresentation of the conversation
that took place between them. The best proof of
it was that in reference to it Lord Brougham sug-
gested that he should he summoned to the bar of
the House of Lords, and on reading his lordship's
speech he (Father Daly) at once wrote a letter to
his lordship, requesting that he might be sum-
moned to the bars of both Houses of Parliament,
when he would prove that the sense given to the
conversation by Lord Palmerston was untrue, un-
founded, and groundless. Father Daly passed a
high eulogium ot, the members for the town and
county of Galway for their exertions in the cause
of the packet station, and concluded by calling on
all to unite for the great object they had in view."

LAW IA TELLIGENCE.—June 13.

BAIL COURT.

(Sittings at Nisi Prins, at Westminster, before Mr

Justice Hill and Common Juries.)
This was the first day of the after term sittings.

HARVEY V. SAVAGE.
This was an action for the unlawful conversion
of a diamond ring, valued at £l,OOO, the property
of the plaintiff. The defendant pleaded that it was
not the plaintiff's property.
Mr. Huddleston, Q.C., and Mr. Griffiths were
counsel for the plaintiff; Mr. Sergeant Petersdorff
and Mr. Honeyman were counsel for the defendant.
Mr. Huddleston, in stating the case to the jury,
said the plaintiff is a chemist and druggist, carry-
ing on business at 23, Leicester-square, and he
sought to recover, on the part of a lady named
Minnie Holmes and himself, a valuable diamond
ring which Minnie Holmes had pawned with
Messes. Attenborough, the pawn ticket of which
the plaintiff had purchased of her. The question
was whether the ring in question had been given
to Minnie Holmes under the following circum-
stances :—The plaintiff is the nephew of a distin-
guished nobleman, but what he had been doing
during the course of his life, except travelling
abroad, he (the learned counsel) scarcely knew.
The defendant was possessed of considerable pro-
perty, and had cohabited with Minnie Holmes for
some years. It would appear that in the early part
of this year Minnie Holmes was staying in Paris
with the defendant, when a separation. took place.
She came to England, and being in want of money
she pawned the ring for £lO. Subsequently she
wished to raise more money, and she applied to
the plaintiff, who advanced her money on the pawn
ticket, and when he went to redeem it, he was met
with the suggestion that the ring had been stolen
from the defendant. Upon that he brought his
action against Mr. Attenborough, and on an appli-
cation to a judge at chambers, Mr. Savage was sub-
stituted for Mr.Attenborough as the defendant, and
the question the jury would have to decide was,
whether or not the ring was given by the defendant
to Minnie Holmes. The connexion between the
defendant and Minnie Holmes was of a peculiar
character, and had lasted about ten years. She had
been a professed cook in the family of the defen-
dant's uncle, where he became enamoured of her,
and seduced her, and after that she went to live
with him. The defendant appeared to be very fond
of her, though at times, from excitement, he acted
rather cruelly towards her, and on one occasion he
severely wounded her in the wrist. In March last
they were residing in Paris. He had illused her
very much, and she had left him, at which he ap-
peared to be very much annoyed. He discovered
that she had gone to the Café de Globe, she being
acquainted with the female who kept it. He went
there, and as he anticipated, found Minnie there.
Minnie had for ten years passed as his wife, and was
known everywhere as Madame Savage. He begged
and implored her to return and live with him, pro-
mising to amend his conduct towards her. He
professed the most ardent love and affection for her,
and :having on his finger this most valuable and
handsome ring, he took it off, and in addition to
his other protestations, said "I'll give you this.
You look much better in diamonds than I do. Now
come, forgive all that is past." She returned home
with him, and at the end of two days he repeated
his violent conduct towards her, upon which she
left him and came to England, and being in want
of money she went :to ;Messrs. Lambert and Raw-
lings, jewellers, Conduit-street, who had sold the
ring for £l,OOO to Mr. Savage, with the view of
selling it, informing them that she had had it from
Mr. Savage,the defendant. They were disinclined to
purchase it, and recommended her to Messrs. At-
tenborough, of Piccadilly, who would only ad-
vance a temporary loan of £lO, after having first
communicated with Messrs. Lambert and Rawlings.
Messrs. Attenborough afterwards communicated
with the defendant, who replied that the ring had
been stolen, and in consequence they declined to
part with it. Under these circumstances the action
had been brought. Since the action had been
brought the defendant had found out Minnie
Holmes, and had slept with her on several occa-
sions, and upon one occasion the defendant, actuated
by one of those extraordinary fits of eccentricity to
which he was addicted, gave her in charge for steal-
ing a ruby ring. She was taken from the coffee-
house where they were staying, in the middle of
the night, to the police-station. The charge was
made by the defendant, and after hearing the cir-
cumstances the inspector refused to detain her. On
that the defendant said, "I give her in charge for
stealing the diamond ring" (the ring in question).
The inspector investigated the charge, and Minnie
said the defendant had given her the ring in Paris,
and on the inspector asking the meaning of it the
defendant said, " Well, I believe I did give her the
ring." The consequence was that the inspector
declined to take her in custody: Minnie was allowed
to go at large. It was under these circumstances
that the present action was brought, and he hoped
the jury would protect this young woman by re-
turning a verdict in her favour.

The learned counsel having addressed the jury
for their respective clients,
The learned judge summed up.
The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for
£l,OOO, to be reduced to the nominal amount of his
claim.
