By the laft publication at the Houfe of Corn-
mons, of the Population of this ifland, it appears
that there are 3,33 1,434 perfons. In Scotland ra- ,
ther more than a million and a half, and in Wales
rather more than half a million. Add to thee
the army and marines, together with the Britifh
feamen employed in regifter {hips, and the total
amounts to eleven millions. In Ireland the popu-
lation is more than four millions. The population
of both, therefore, is about fifteen millions. At
the commencement of the laft century, the popu-
lation of England and Wales, now nearly nine
Imillions, was only fix millions. The number of
males born exceeds the females about four in an
hundred ; but, on account of the number of males
who die abroad in war. the colonies and naviga-
tion, the burials of the females exceed that of the
males about one in an hundred.

The St. Vincent Gazette of the sgth May lays—
" We learn with regret, by accounts from Tobago
and Granada, that a great mortality prevails in
thole illands, particularly among the (hipping; a
circumflance," lays the Granada Gazette, " not
only lamentable but aflonifhing, as there appears
to be nomalignant chforder among the inhabitants."
Letters from Munich mention a grange difco-
very which has lately been made in that City.—
While a number of workmen were employed in
removing the benches and wainicotting of a church
belonging to a convent that had lately been fup-
prefied, one of them while removing a confellional,
fell through a kind of trap into a fubterraneous pal-
Lige which communicated with a gallery. On ex-
amining the latter place there were found depofit.
ed in it a number of dead bodies, among others
that of a well known officer, who fome time back
had difappeared, and who was recognized by his
button, which had infcribed upon it the number of
his regiment. The Eledloral Government imme-
diately iftued an order for apprehending the late
Superior of the Convent, and a Special Commit.
Pion has been appointed to enquire into this my Re-
rious bufinefs.

Between (even and eight o'clock on Wednefdo
evening, when walking towards Camden townrvae
nbferved the appearance of a meteor, coming from
the direetion of Paddington, and alternately blaz-
ing out and difappearing in the cloudsywhich were
then very lowering. The phonon:len-con turned out
to be a fire balloon. In a few minutes it was ap-
parently over the Jew's Harp public-huufe, and its
body began to be vifible ; being at the time, in
appearance, at a height not lefs than twice that of
St. Paul's. It then gradually dercended, driving
the cattle before it, which fcanspered as if feized
with fudden madnefs. About 3co yards to the
northward of St. James's Chapel, it lighted on the
pailing by the road fide; the lzwel, which feemed
to have been only brufh-wood, being extra tilled.—
There appeared to be an infcription on it, but we
were prevented from reading it by the nativer,who
had affsmbled, and who inftanily tore it in pieces
for the fake of the thin brown paper c f which it
was compofed. However partial we may be to
fuch ingenious experiments, we are not quite clear
as to the propriety of fending up Oir kind of bal-
loon, in a populous neighbourhood. During the
former ballowsowania. Come hay-narks were fet
