justly ranked among the first class periodicals.

BY an abstract Of the Irish census, which has
been made public, it appears that the present pop.
ulaon Of that country is about what it was thirty
years ago. The census shows a decrease within
the last ten years Of no loss than 1859 $3.50; the
popul0 lion, which in lS4l amounted 20 6,l75,I
being now reduced to 6,5l5.794, or about twenty
per cent. The following rssume ia taken from the
Dublin Express:
SIN this reduction Connaught and Munster have
borne the largest share, the decrease in the former
province being % per cent, and the latter 23-
while IN Leinster and Ulster the decrease is pretty
equal, being about l6 per cent. in each. Ii may
not be embarrassing to state briefly the iuctua-
tions in the number OF the population for the last
40 years. In the first decade il increased from
1851 $50 to sol 627, rapid ratio of35 per cent
IN the second the increase IL per cent; in the
third, per cent; and now, at the close of the
fourth decade, by reduction of 30 per cent. We
arc less In number than VIC were 80 years ago;
whereas, If instead of decreasing, the population,
according To It's natural tendencies, had increased
only In the low ratio OF per cent, il would now
be upwards of 900 900 more than il is Dublin
is the only county which shows an increase OF
about 10 per cent. With this solitary exception
the decrease extends TO all the counties in Ireland
and varies from per cent. in Antrim, TO 81 per
cent. in Roscommon. Ii will be observed that The
per centage 10 lowest in Antrim, Wexford, Down,
and Londonderry, and highest in Galway, Mayo,
and Rosoommon. comparison of the numbers
indicating the decrease per cent in the different
counties, viewed in connexion with the state Of
society IN each, suggests many topics for reflection
which we have not leisure at present to discuss,
but from which important differences may be de-
duced. The towns all exhibit an increase, vary
ing from to f3 per cent on the 10 years. In
Dublin we find the population is now 254 $50,
showing an increase of per cent. In Cork, the
increase ID per cent; in Belfast 80 per cent and
Galway has nearly doubled its inhabitants, being
now 43 per cent more than in 1884,"

[PREsIDENT FILLMoRE's MESSAGE.
''The Presidents message, at the opening of the
present session of Congress, expresses fully and
plainly his own and the unanimous opinion of all
those associated with him in the Executive admin
'istration Of the Government, in regard to what
are called the Adjustment or Compromise mea-
sures of last session. That opinion is that those
measures should be regarded in principle as
a final settlement of the dangerous and exciting
subjects which they embrace; that though they
were not free from imperfectons, yet, In their
mutual dependence and connection, they formed
a system of compromise the most conciliatory
and best for the entire country that could be OBJ
tanned from conflicting sectional interest and
opinions, and that therefore they should be ad
'hered TO, until time and experience should de-
monstrate the necessity of further legislation to
guard against evasion or abuse. Thatopinion, SO
far as know, remains entirely unchanged, and
will be acted upon steadily and decisivey. The
peace ofthe country requires this; the security OF
the Constitution requires this; and everyconside-
nation of the public good demands this. If the
Administration cannot stand upon the principles
ofthe message, it does not expect to stand at all "

boy, twelve years of age, convicted Of the murder
of the child John Rumpf, five years of age at Bal
timore, on Thursday sentenced to be hung.
The sentence (says the Americdn) was heard by
the prisoner without any apparent emotion. and
after it had been pronounced he returned to the
lookup with his usual agile step and animated
countenance.
After the pronouncing Of tho sentence, Mr.. May
remarked to the court that ii was with much plea
sure that he felt at liberty 10 state that the
mendation Of the jury TO commute the sentence Of
the prisoner to imprisonment for life would be
granted by the Governor.

polite invitation Of the warden, we visited the va.

ADD EL KADER.-The London Weekly Ne,Ds, OF
the 9th instant, contains the following notice of a
| recent movement in the British House of Lords in
behalf of the unhappy prisoner, ADD ell Kader,
whom France has so shamefully and perfdiously
treated:
"The Marquis of Londonderry, who with all his
faults has something generous aud chivalrous in
his nature, on Monday last brought the case of
ABIDE Kader before the House of Lords, in the
hope, apparently, Of shaming the French nation
into something like justice and humanity towards
their heroic prisoner. II scarcely necessary
for the Marquis OF Lansdowne to state in reply to
the formal questions proposed, that il not with
in the province of her majestys government to in
terfere, however much they might regret the cir
cumstances nor to express the opinion that 10 held
unanimously throughout the civilized world be-
yond the confines of France.
We are glad to sec that both Louis Napoleon and
Louis Philippe are exonerated personally from the
guilt and infamy of the transaction. which Lord
Brougham agreed with the other two noble lords
who spoke on the question in atributing to O state
OF opinion in France neither wholesome, sound,
nor creditable.' Louis Napoleon does not appear
to forget that he himself spent some time in the
house of bondage; but the fault seems to lie with
what may be termed the colonial interest of France
the parties who have pecuniary interest in Alge-
ria, and who naturally dread the possibility of the
lion, ii once set free, finding his way back again
to his native mountains.
"Honor and justice, and the plighted word of
princes and soldiers must give way to the clamor
OF merchants and colopsts; and Add ell Kader
must remain in prison till France grows conscien-
tous and honest, or feels the sting of the infamy
that she s bringing upon herself by this perdious
conduct
