late census :

In the population of Cardiff; an increase of upwards of one
thousand has taken place since the former Census was-

r; E CAS T L E.—The census of Newcastle and Gateshead and
of the immediate dependencies, is now, we believe, finished;
but as the returns of.some parishes and townships are yet Want-
ing, we are unable to give the total amount ; and in the mean
time shall subjoin the returns of such parishes and wards as
have reached us, , From all the information we can obtain,
there would appear to, be a very considerable increase of inhabit
tents as compared with the census of 1811. Part of this in-
crease is probably owing to the very opposite circumstances
under which the two census were taken.

The year 1811
,wa*,a time of war; when beside other causes
of inaccuracy, many people either misunderstood the measure,
or froth groundless alarms of taxation and military service were
not reconciled to -being numbered. The public have now ma.
nifested in every instance the utmost readiness to afford the in
formation required. Ti is singular enough that in all the low
and thickly' peopled parts of Gateshead not a single individual
was found, confined to bed: The following are the. returns which
we have received:—

Of this town we have only obtained the returns of three pa.

So that the population has increased by the whole of St. An.
drew's parish. But Gateshead, we understand, exhibits the
greatest increase, being now about 13,000, whilst it was only
8,782 in 1811. As far as we can ascertain, the population of
Newcastle and Gateshead, with the immediate dependencies of
Byker and Westgate townships, will not be less than 52,000-in.

All the Returns which have yet been made public exhibit an
increase of population equal to that which took place between
1801 and 1811.

CENSUS OF Nonwrcu.—The following is a comparative
View of the Population in 1811 and 1821. It shows a prodigious
increase, but .such increase is very much to be accounted for by
new settlers, whom the flourishiing state of our manufactories
has attracted. Still the increase is great 1811 there were
15,66-1 males; 21,567 females—Total, 27,231. In 1821, 21,808
males;. 26,019 females—Total,47,B27. The Population at dif-
ferent periods :—ln 1693, 28,881 ; in 1752, 36,169 ; in 1786,-
40,051 ; in 1801, 36,832; in 1811, 37,231. The parish of
Clement is not included in this account, as it was not completed
when the account was made up. The parish is now supposed
to contain about2,ooo people, which will make the population
nearly 50,000.
.POPULATION OF THE PARISM OF GAINSBOROUGII,—

[BRITISH PRESS.]
By a vessel which arrived lately at Marseilles
from Constantinople, intelligence was received as
of the beginning of May. The Turkish capital
had been during the greater part of April a prey
to the utmost violence and alarm, and for three
days, from the 20th to the 23d of that month;
there had been a dreadful massacre of the Greek
inhabitants. Christians of every nation were ex-
posed to great danger. and it is known that even
the palaces of the .Ambassadors were not free
from insult and outrage. The barbarous Go-
vernment of Turkey does not stand relieved from
the imputation of having encouraged the soldiery
and rabble of Constantinople in the indulgence
of their hatred to the Greeks, when we find that
even the sacredness of the episcopal character 7, the
reverence due to advanced years, and the merit
of having uttered a solemn anathema against the
inonrgent Greeks, were not sufficient to save the
ene ra b e Patriarch Gregory from beinc, dragged
from the altar, and hanged without the form of
trial, or even of accusation, by the sole order of
the Sultan, or of his Grand Vizier. This atro-
cious murder being perpetrated, the ruffians who
committed it threw the mangled body of the old
man to the rabble for their amusement, and the
ferocious savages having dragged it, still covered
with the garb of a Christian Bishop, through the
streEts 1-of the capital, finally thing it into the
Bosphorus. Yet this is the Government' which,
in the opinion of the sage Francis of Austria,'and
of the mangnanimous Alexander of Russia, ought
to be supported against the " criminal" insurrec-
tion of the Christian Greeks !—Fioin Smyrna,
the dates reach down to the 3d of May. At this
place tranquillity was in some measure restored,
although a great degree of irritation still sub-
sisted in the minds or the people, and it would
require the lapse of time to restore complete

order.

'[.IORNING POST.]
We are happy to find, that in proportion as
that laudable Institution, the CONSTITUTIONAL
ASSOCIATION, is calumniated and vilified, its
auMbers and its funds increase. Well, indeed,
may the Committee express their-satisfaction in
being able to exhibit so gratifying a proof of the
continued estimation in which their efforts are
held by the loyal and well disposed part of their
fellow subjects. Firm in the principles upon
which the Institution was established, they com-
mendably avow that they will not suffer them
selves to be turned aside from their duty by the
calumnies and falsehoods of known violators of
the-laws ; -and their certain success will be the
lA-mid reward of their loyal and virtuous ex-
ertions. Nothing can be more • wretched or
contemptible than the attacks daily made by the
faCtious and unprincipled upon this truly pa-
triotic and honourable Association; nor can any
thing be •so senseless as the wilful misrepre-
sentations of its objects in regard to the Liberty
.of the- Press. Their calumniators well know
that they aim no blow at the liberty of the Press,
and that their attention is directed only to the
Tunishment -of the vile panders to infidelity„trea-
sou, and disaffection, who are the disgrace of the
_Press, and whose infamy have converted for a
timer that blessing into a curse.—There is no
danger to the Press but such as arises from its
base and- atrocious licentiousness. Its true and
only liberty will breathe with renewed vigour,
and-inoye with redoubled energy, when relieved
from -this morbid excrescence, which deforms its
beauty and paralyses its influence ; and in this
glorious and virtuous pursuit of united good men
-against combined villainy, the result, under Pro-
vidence, we trust,- will not fail to frustrate the
diabolical- designs against social order, and pre-
serve to us those blessings which alone-can render
fife- endurable to moral and Civilized man.

' [NEW TIMES.]
- The certainty of the Coronation has ‘given a
degree of life and spirit to the Metropolis, which
it is pleasing to contemplate. His Majesty will
highly gratify his loyal subjects by going through
the solemn ceremony, which stamps his relation
to them with the sacred seal of Religion. He
will afford them the opportunity of contemplat-
ing a scene of magnificence and splendour, im-
pressing the mind with ideas suited to the gran-
deur of this mighty Empire. Above all, the
labouring- and industrious classes will be kept in
active employment for the next six weeks, in
preparation for, and attendance on the ceremony.
The money thus circulated will be considerable,
and it will all be spent within the kingdom, af-
fording a seasonable 'relief to some branches of
trade that have languished, and giving a new
spur to all branches of active employment..
The Regalia, which tire to adorn his Ma-
jesty's person, are extremely rich and solid.
Doubtless it is in good taste that they should be
so : yet we cannot help suggesting that as the
solemnities will be extremely long and fatiguing,
ar:l as the King has of late suffered some degree
of indisposition, every means should be adopted
to prevent the burthen of the massy ornaments
from pressing on him too heavily-. The number
of .pages and trainbearers around the Royal Per-
son will of course he considerable ; and it will
require some ingenuity so to arrange theirattend-
ance, that they may 'relieve his Majesty from
fatigue, without interfering too much between
the King and the spectators, or injuring the
pomp and picturesque effect of the procession.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
The organ of the self-called Constitu-
tional Association states what amounts to an
admission that it comes I:•ithin the operation of
the 39th of the late King. " It is argued," he
says, " that the Constitutional Association is a
Society composed of different divisions or branches
acting separately and distinct from each-other,
and that it employs Committees to meetrconfer,
and communicate with other Societies ; but for
all this there is no ground whatever in fact, and
though the Address speaks of the possible con-
tingency of a correspondence with other Socie-

ties, yet we believe there never has been any
thing of the kind done; and if it were done, no
doubt it would be under proper advice, so as not
to violate the law of the land, which it is the
great object of this Society to uphold."—
So it apppars,. then, :that, under proper ad-
vice, they have ascertained that a corresPon-
deuce with other Societies would subject
them to the penalties of the Act in question.
But this, it would now seem, was only thrown
out in the_Address as a possible contingency.
It is a possible contingency, however, that it may
be proved that the mother Association in Lon-
don has corresponded with affiliated Associations
in more than one place. Of course every endea-
vour will now be made to prevent such proof
being obtained ; but it is a possible contingency
that these endeavours will not be successful. If
proper advice bad been taken, a combination of
this kind never would have been entered into ;
but as the Association began to act without tak-
ing proper advice, it is possible that, by some
contingency, they may have to pay for their
rashness.

• [THE TIMES.]
The general opinion certainly was in favour of
raising the Duke, of Clarence_ to a. level with
others of his brethren in respect to income, be-
cause he applied for such elevation; but there
was no idea in, the public mind that the arrears
which had accumulated during a. period when he
had .not thought proper to apply were to be as-
sigued.to him"; because, if the 6000/. for the year
181 S, or they year 1819, or 1820, were neces:
sary for his Royal Highness, he should have ay=
plied for them during those years, and not done
one of two things, viz. either accumulated
debts to the amount of all those six.,thousand
pounds, or lived- below his dignity as one of the
Royal Family. But, as
,he himself said that he
would not have the 60001. per annum, the
nation had a right to expect that it was released
of that`burden ; .and not that we, the people of
England, should be called upon to make good
those arrears, which had accumulated through no
fault of ours. It would have been easy for his
Royal Highness to ask for the 6,0001. in 1818,
and in the other succeeding years ; but it is not
quife•so agreeable in 1821 to the country to have
at once: eighteen thousand pounds demanded of
t for a 'period which is gone by, and Which we
never expected to hear of again.
