In the Returns made pursuant to an
act OF Parliament, the population of Ire
land in 1921, is said to be ,sa9, vizs
males 3,S41, 9s6, females 3,A59,90i.
The density of this population is s6s
persons to an Irish square mile, being
three times as populous as Scotland,
one anda half as populous as France,
and twice as popnlous as Germany

England, is a. 22s to 2o7, the latter,

This new Philosophical journal, the
only periodical which issues from the
Dublin press, seems likely TO take from
the university of that city, the doubtful
praise 'ol the silent sister," which she
has hitherto enjoyed; among the contri-
butors, we notice with pleasure the,
name of Brinkley and Lloyd; the arti-

ing the longitude, sc. if it contain no

remarkable for its elegance and con-
