STATISTICS OF EMPLOYMENT.

There is an immense number of important facts to be
gathered from the " Occupation Abstract" of the popu-
lation commissioners as given in the census returns of
1841.

With respect to the comparative numbers of the popu-
lation engaged in manufactures (properly so called) and
agriculture respectively, it will be found that the former
constitute something more than one-sixteenth, the latter
something more than one-twelfth, of the whole popula-
tion of great Britain. Of the whole number of paupers
(100,529) within the walls of workhouses on the night of
the 6th of June, 1841, the agricultural labourers (3,555)
form something more than 1-28th part. The largest
class of paupers in workhouses was " servants (domestic)"
5,401, of whom the principal part were women. The
whole number under the head " servant (domestic)" in
Great Britain is 1,143,007. We have noticed the imper-
fection of the returns in some points ; as, for instance,
the return of seven oculists and four aurists for all Great
Britain. In some points of arrangement they are equally
deficient. Thus there is no head of cook nor of confec-
tioner, nor of drover : then we have " cupper and den-
tist," "corn cutter," and "scrivener," under the general
division of " professional persons." By the way, some
people will scarcely believe that there are only 279 match-
makers in Great Britain. Again, under the general di-
vision of " educated persons," we have " aeronaut" and
" ventriloquist." If you want to find the head " post-
boy," you discover it clubbed with " coachman" and
" coach-guard." Some of the heads want explanation.
What is a " portioner ," Probably, however, these
faults are mostly attributable to the caprice of the
parties making the returns and answers, rather than
to want of diligence in the enumerators. There are
no fewer than 1,097 persons employed in the destruction
of vermin in Great Britain. The subject is too ticklish

to admit of remark.
It is manifest, we think, from the tables, that there are
sundry occupations enumerated in which people have
an inclination to shirk returning themselves as engaged,
their return being made under some more eligible or
high-sounding denomination, but this ambition does not
appear to go the length of disclaiming all occupation.
The head of persons returned as of independent means is
only 511,440, or somewhat over two per cent. of the
whole population—a strikingly small proportion in so
rich a country as this, and showing conclusively that in-
dustry is the rule of English society, and idleness the
exception. The fact stands out still more clearly on ob-
serving that of the above number 373,633 are females.
The Commissioners have gone out of their way to obtain
an account of the previous occupations of the inmates of
gaols, hospitals, workhouses, and lunatic asylums, on the
night of the 6tk of June, 1841. It is creditable that of
22,330 prisoners in gao's, only 340 belonged to the army,
17 to the navy. On the other hand, there were under the
head " attorney, solicitor, and law-student," 49 ;
" banker," 10 ; " barrister," 7 ; "surgeon," 20. It is
to be observed, however, the tables include debtors as well
criminals.
There were 11,218 persons confined in lunatic asylums.
The following are some of the heads:—" army,c, 232;
" navy," 46 ; " barrister," 10 ; " attorney, solicitor, and
law-student," 50 ; " clergyman," 39 ; " servant" 4.do-
mestic). 864—the largest denomination. 288 were returned
as of independent means. This part of the tables we regard
as the least satisfactory of the whole. For every 10,000
persons throughout the population, the following are the
proportions of the inmates of the above four institutions ;
—ln workhouses, 62 ; hospitals, 5 ; gaols, 11; lunatic
asylums, 6. $o ne arithmetical results of the tables may
be worth notice.
In England, Wales, and the isles of the British Seas,
there are 252,192 farmers and graziers ; in Scotland,
54,873 ; together, 307,065. There are 1,127,115 agricul-
tural labourers in Great Britain, which gives an average
of nearly four labourers to each master agriculturist. In
England and Wales there are 13,255 nurses returned,
which gives one nurse for every 1,210 of the population.,
In Scotland, according to the returns, there are no nurses.
There are in Great Britain 4.283,247 males, 4,301,300,
females returned as under 20 years of age ; together,
8.584,547 ; but there are, it seems, only 59,745 persons
occupied as educators, including " all branches" and
either sex, which gives one teacher for every 143 young
persons—a suspicious result, which becomes more sus-
picious when we remember that, in addition to the above
numbers, nearly 11,000,000 persons, classed as " residue
of the population," being unreturned, contain about 31
per cent. males, and 33 per cent, females, under 20.
The principle of shirking seems to have been al work
here. Few men like to write themselves down school-
masters. So in the metropolis, to a population of 1,873,676,
only 7,138 persons place themselves under the very com-
prehensive head, " schoolmaster, mistress, or assistant,
tutor or governess."
The number of domestic servants for the metropolis
(of whom 39,300 are males) gives about one for every 47
of the inhabitants ; the proportion throughout Great
Britain is one for every 16 persons; that of the county of
Westmoreland one for every three. In the metropolis
there are 834 clergymen, or one for every 2,246 persons ;
the proportion throughout Great Britain is one for every
12,892; the proportion for Westmoreland (the pattern
county in many respects) is one far every 262.

FRAMPTON'S PILL OF HEALTH.
THE manifold advantages to the Heads of Families
from the possession of a Medicine of known efficacy,
that may be resorted to with confidence, and used with
success in cases of temporary sickness, occurring in fami-
lies more or less every day, are so obvious to all, that no
question can be raised of its importance to every house-
holder in the kingdom. From among numerous testi-
monials, the following is respectfully submitted :
U TO MR. THOMAS PROUT, 229, STRAND, LONDON.
" 5, Cooper-street,Memehester, March 12, 1812.
" Sir,—l have much satisfiction in communicating to
you the result of my experience after repeated trials of
FRAMPTON'S PILL OF HAALTH, and I feel it but justice,
to state, that in the couyie of many years' trial of various
Aperient Medicines, I have never found results at once
salutary and efficient in the relief of the system from re-
dundant bile, &c. &c., with so little inconvenience ; I am,
therefore, warranted in declaring that they supply to me a
means long wanting, of being able to recommend to Fami-
lies, Schools, and especially Mercantile Men, whether at
the desk or on the road, a most valuable resource in an
occasional medicine. And I shall take credit to myself
if, in giving this testimony, I am the means of making
FRAMPTON'S PILLS more generally known and appre-
ciated.

" I am, sir, respectfully yours,
"WILLIAM SMITH."

The unprecedented sale of these Pills, arising from the
earnest recommendations of the many thousands who have
derived benefit from their use, render any lengthened
comment unnecessary; they are not put forth as a cure
for all diseases to which mankind is liable, but for Bilious
and Liver Complaints, with their many well known at-
tendants, Bilious and Sick Head-ache, Pain and Oppres
sion after Meals, Giddiness, Dizziness, Singing Noise in
Head and Ears, Drowsiness, Heartburn, Loss of Appe-
tite, Wind, Spasms, &c.
Two or three doses will convince the afflicted of thei
salutary effects. The stomach will speedily regain its
strength ; a healthy action of the Liver, Bowels, and Kid-
neys, will rapidly take place ; and instead of listlessness,
heat, pains, and jaundiced appearance, strength, activity,
and renewed health, extending to good old age, will be the
result of taking this medicine, according to the directions
accompanying each box.

NO CHIROPODISTS ! ! ! NO CUTTING ! ! I
CORNS AND BUNIONS.
PAUL'S EVERY MAN'S FRIEND is a sure and
speedy cure for those severe annoyances, without
causing the least pain or inconvenience. Unlike all other
remedies for Corns, its operation is such as to render the
cutting of Corns altogether unnecessary : indeed, we may
say, the practice of cutting corns is at all times highly
dangerous, and has been frequently attended with lamen-
table consequences, besides its liability to increase their
growth. It adheres with the most gentle pressure, pro-
ducing an instant and delightful relief from torture, and,
with perseverance in its applicatiOn, entirely eradicates
the most inveterate Corns and Bunions.
EXTRAORDINARY TESTIMONIALS.
From Dr. Cummins, Lecturer on Medical Jurisprudence
at the Aldersgate School of Medicine.
Dr. Cummins presents his compliments to Mr. Paul,
and begs to inform him that his Every Man's Friend has
entirely taken away his Corns, and he has recommended
it to several of his friends and patients, and in no one
instance has it failed in eradicating both Corns and
Bunions.
From Dr. Ley, Midwifery Lecturer at St. Bartholomew's
Hospital.
Dr. Ley presents his compliments to Mr. Paul, and
begs to inform him that his Corn Plaster has taken away
his Corns.
Similar testimonials have been received from upwards
of one hundred Physicians and Surgeons of the greatest
