The report about to be published will show, in 1851
very little more than G, 900. The same report will
also show a remarkable decrease in the number of
"houses,' as compared with the number in the prece
ding census and of course, still greater compared
with the number which would have appeared now had
the former rate of increase been maintained The an
,icipatons which we have recently expressed in our
notice Of the OF Great Britain will therefore be
confirmed by the facts which have now to be officially
reported. The most startling fact OF the census will
be- that whereas the ordinary law OF increase had it
not been interrupted in its operation, would have shown
progress the of6 per cent the returns now made
present instead, decrease of about 20 per cent the
decrease embracing above quarter of the population
which it anticipated that Ireland would possess at
the present time.
That these anomalous phenomena may be properly
accounted for and correctly appeca ed there are some
considerations to be taken into the account, which it
may not be the duty of the Irish Census Department 10
present for public consideration, but which it may be
well 10 observe in connection with the leading facts we
present and which will be laid before the country
in detail
considerable portion of the deficiency about to be
officially reported the Irish population is attributable
to scarcity the SuHer0gS OF the poor
the want of fuel and shelter during Indictment seasons,
and the scourge of the cholera, darrh9a influenza
and other epidemic and endemic Diseases which have
been carrying on their destructive operations In that
country with unusual force during the last ten years
While these causes will aid the inquirer in reference
the deficient population generally, 1t will be seen that
some OF them will apply to particular localities IN man
highly suggestive to those who tor the last ten years
have directed their attention to the way in which things
have been managed in Ireland.

Populations from six departments, and the inhabitants OF
the neghhcrng country showed the same anxiety
as the inhabitants OF Poicters to give worthy recep.

is the speech of the French President Poictiers:

When, under another point of view, reflects on
that territorial unity which has been bequeahed to us
by the perseverng efforts OF the monarchy to that poll

which has teen given to us by revolution; when one
conempates those populations so intelligent and labo-
