Mr. MITYO RD presentdd returns of the compare:
live population of the different pa, ;she' in Great Bri-
tain in 1810 and 1811, together with the 'name at

Mr. ROSE took this opportunity to allnde to the
increase which it appeared liad.talsen place to °reef
'Britain within the last tea years, which amounted to
1,609,000. This increase had t:Lilo place in the pro.
portion of 14 to 1(Y.) in England, 1 t in 100 inWales.
and 10 in 100 in FeAland. This was a circumstance
highly sa.isractory, but as the .incto.rsed populating
required extraordinary means of support. it became
necessary tqauossider from. what source that menu*
should-be supplied. Mr. R. ellsChd to she Immo
sum annually paid for the importation of comp
amounting to not less than four millions and a half s
the advantage which would result from reducing 'his
i importation must be ebvious: and to accomplish
that object, it would be desirable that all the land
I which could possibly be applied to the growth of corn
should be cultivated. But this alone would nut (lo;
I au.l he should advise in aid of t, enccuragieg the
growth of potatoes, which might be cultivated oss
any 'ant. Another source of supply would be the
encouragement of the fisheries, which might easily be
ace( mpl'iled, if Gentlemen would give attention to
tit—of this he was satisfied from his uwn exeerience,
Ifor, by purchasing . herrings at an vdvantagiotii
marker, and cultivating potatoes, he had beeh toe-
bled, at a time when the quartein loaf was at 18d. to
sell to the poor pecple round him, 2'4lbs. of pot*.
toes and nine large herrings, for fifteen-pence. He
concluded by observing, he thought it his duty to call
the attention of Gentlemen to these subjects.
• Mr. BROUGHAM acknowledged the weight
these arguments had ;to his mind, out, at the same
time, observed, he did not consider the Muni now
laid before them, was a correct criterion to go by—.
he was persuaded the increase of population had not
equalled what it appeared to be on the face of them.
Prejudice, which had existed in the public mind when
the population was taken under the first Ceases
Act passed, in 1801, had caused numbers of
persons to withhold their names, who had, under
the last Act, come forward, and this occasioned tee
seeming increase. He did nor, however, wish to de.
preciate the useful labour of the Right Honourable
Gentleman, in bringing forward this measure... as
the contrary, he could not avoid expressing, his
warmest wish, that the measure should be extended
to Ireland.
Mr. HERBERT wished to see the measure etc.
tended to Ireland ; if it was, he eras persuaded the
r I Population of Ireland would be fuuad tomcod what
was generally imagined.
1 Mr. P. MOORE said, that these papers stated the
' Population cf England, Wales, and Scotland, at
' 111,000,000, and the Right Hon. Gentleman took
this as a criterion of the strength of the Effipire. Why
I , had he not included Ireland r Did he mean to say
that the population of Ireland formed no part of. the
strength of the Empire.
The papers were then ordered to lie on the table.
HIS MAJESTY'S HOUSEHOLD.

Mr. LUSHINGTON brought up the Report of
the Resolutions of the Committee on this subject,
when—
Mr. CREEVEY observed, it had last night bean
stated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer that any
arrears of the Civil Liscshould be in future, as they had
before been, paid out of the Droits of the Admiralty;
he had also stated these Droits of Admiralty as the
private property of the Crown. This property had
amounted to eight millions, and he (Mr. Creevey)
could not consent that they should be doled out by
Ministers as they thought proper. It had also been
proposed that £lOO,OOO should be granted to the
Regent. He did not oppose the grant; but if the
Crown was thus to claim the Droits of Admiralty....
if any corrupt Minister was to advise his Royal
Highness to seize American property before a decla.
ration of war, he might thus possess himself of mil.
lions. Another fund, claimed as the property of the
Crown, was the 41j per cent. Leeward Islands duty ;
but both these subjects would come before the House
soon. It was not the property itself which was of so
much consequence to the Public, but the fund it af-
forded, from which Ministers were enabled to enrich
themselves and families.
