ANONYMOUS LETTER WRITER'S

NOT more than one occurrence in fifty, that
the w ashington letter writers so confidently pre-
dict, ever takes place. designations and reno
walls are constantly announced by these news
mongers, and when the public expectation at
distant points amounts to an absolute certainty
that the changes &c. must transpire, some pub-
Inc act or official statement at length undeceyes
them.
Those who take particular interest in the
movements at the seat of Government should
always regard the rumors Of ANONYMOUS letter
writers with due allowance for their opportu-
mites of being deceived.
Not long since mischievous urchn told
letter writer that he heard the President while
walking TO church, declare he would resign
Immediately after the fact appeared in the pa-
pers' Another lad, seeing fair-faced gentle
man with ringlets, approaching the State De-
partment, declared that he had heard Mr.. Web

son. say there must be ,oar. This fact or
something similar to it, was in the u. S. Gazette
a day or two after. But if war should taxi.

There are many confirmed wags in this
city, who amuse themselves by communicating
to every body all the extraordinary movements
at least few days before they actually trans

only enjoy hearty laugh at the gulliblty Of the
PUBIC, but soon manage TO ascertain who are
the correspondents Of the different sheets
We allude, in the above remarks, more par,i-
cnarly to the idle gossip concerning estate Sc
crets"-the transactions meditated in Congress
are more accurately given by the letter writers

POPULATION OF ENGLAND, &c.

The population Of England and Wales at periods
anterior TO 1901, only be determined by computa-
tons founded the returns obtained under poll and
hearth taxes and registers of births and Deaths.
Unfortunately, however, none Of these afford data
from which the amount Of population be
ly deduced During the latter part Of the last
ry the uncertainty in which this subject was involved
afforded materials for keen controversy, which
carried by DR.. Price on the one hand, and Mr..
Hewlett, Vicar Of Dunmore in Essex, and Mr.. Hales
the other. The former had contended that popu-
lation had been declining in England from the
luton downwards, and that it did not in TIT exceed
4,763, 900. Mr. Hewlett, however showed concur
syely that no reliance could be placed on either DR..
Prices facts or arguments and that there could be
reasonable doubt that the population had mate
rally increased in the interval between 100 and 1880
The returns obtained under the population acts put
end to this controversy and proved the general
curacy of Mr. Howett's conclusions. The popua-
ton, deduced from them, after allowing for their
defects and inaccuracies, is follows

western editor, after reading PROSPECTUS with

Then why should be prescribed But he objects
to our thanking them for their attention. We
think we might be permitted both TO thank them for
their attention, and pay them the usual commission
allowed by our contemporaries for Their trouble.
The above usage has been permitted by the Depart
ment for two reasons First, because it facilitates the
dissemination OF useful knowledge among the people,
who are the real soveregns Of the land and second
w. because il very materially increases the income of
the Department.
We ask no privileges Of the postmssiers not grant
