IRELAND. - Census Returns. - The
census Just completed shows decrease
within The last ten years Of no less than
1859 $3.50; the population, which in lS4l
amounted to S,l75, 1874, being reduced
to 6,5l5,794, or about20 per cent The
following resume is taken from the Daily
Erpress:
sin this reduction Connaught and
Munster have borne the largest share, the
decrease in the former province being2S
per cent, and the latter % while in
I.einster and Ulster the decrease is pref
ty equal, being about l6 per cent. each.
1t may not be uninteresting TO state
briefly the fluctuations in the number of
the population for the last 40 years. In
the first decade il increased from $685.
S56 to 6,60l ,627, rapid ratio Of 35 per
cent; in the second the increase was
Id per cent; in the third, 5 per cen,;
and now, al the close of the fourth de-
cade, by a reducti n of 20 per cent.
We are less in numbor than we were 30
years ago; whereas, il instead Of de-
creasing, the population, according TO its
natural tendencies, had increased only in
the low ratio of 5 per cent, it would now
be upward OF 2,000,000 more than il is.
Dublin is the only county which shows
an increase OF about 10 per cent. With
this solitary exception, the decrease ex-
tends to all the counties in Ireland, and
varies from Q per cent. in Antrim to 81
per cent. in Roscommon. 1t will be OBJ
served that the per centage is lowest in
Antrim. Wexford, Down and London
derry, and highest in Galway, Mayo and
Roscommon. A comparison of the Num-
bers indicating the decrease per cent. in
Tie different counties, viewed in connec-
lion 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 inferences may
be deduced. The towns all exhibit an
increase varying from 8 to43 per cent.
on the 10 years. In Dublin we find the
population is now 254, $50, showing an
increase Of 9 per cent. In Cork the in
crease is 7 per cent; in Belfast, 80 per
cent; and Galway has nearly doubled its
inhabitants, being now 43 per cent. more
than in lS4l."

RESIGNATION on MR. WEBSTER

As matter Of news, il seems to be
settled thing that Mr.. Webster will not
resign, though he is advertised to sail for
Europe on or about the 10Th Of August
The puffers OF the administration allege-
that Mr.. Webster's disposition TO resign
arises from no want Of unity between him
and Mr.. Fillmare---ihai he visits Europe
to avoid, as be thereby did once before,
The periodical recurrence Of catarrhal
affection, which always produces general
proslraiion OF his health--that he and the
rest of the cabinet are as one.
We have ihase assurances only from
those interested, for. divers causes, in
keeping the administration in as favora-
Bile light before the country as possible;
while several neutral journals and cores
pondents, and opposing papers speculate,
on Mr.. Webster's proposed withdrawal
in difieren, way, and insist on the proba-
bility of a want Of perfectly good under
standing between him and the Executive. :
We do not know how il is Of course, and
can give no inkling which we do not re-
ceive from those nearest s.ihe court, and
more able to guess out hidden things.
Among these is the N. Y. Tribune, A
special dispatch in that paper as follows,

health is partially fabulous.--Ohi States

l have reason for saying, that between

not in all cases existed perfect harmony
as TO the foreign policy of the county,
Mr.. Webster's ecent separation from the
Presidential party al Dunkirk, and his re-
naming behind to make speeches after
the other members of the Executive Gov

not increase the cordially Of feeling in

causes Of the resignation. L, MN. (.

THE selection Of men Of correct prin.

ners and feelings as the candidates Of the
Democratic Party for State and Judicial
Offices is ofthe FIRST importance in secu-
ring correct impulse 10 the working Of
the new Constitution. Il isa good and
progressive instrument and can be made
The means ofinfniie benefit and happiness
10 present and future citizens ofthe State,
provided that il is carried out ia its true
spirit. On the contrary il may br,hy crafty,
selfish and designing politicians, miscon-
sirued and misinterpreted iill every pro-
gressive principle and improvement il
contains is neutralized, muiilaied and
rendered practically useless. On the
selection Of good men--men Of ability,
integrity and sound principle, especially OF
the Supreme Judges its success depends.
The men Of the Wing party who opposed
|, because they said it contained doctrines
curbiag special privileges, monopoly and
aristocracy, viii be found, with quite a
different construction Of IFS meaning If
placed in power. Like vinton, they were
satisfied without improvement, hated
change, and preferred abuse and wrong
10 experiment. They of course will seek
10 make the new Constitution conform
to the old as far as they can, without
much regard to the will Of the people, the
language Of the Constitution, OF the strict
and correct rules Of construction. As
they could not openly defeat its adoption
they are now willing 10 take Office under
il and render il as great nullity as possi-
bic. We trust that BY the prudence, pro.
biiy and sagacity Of The Democratic State
Convention in the selection Of candidates
they will meet defeat, FOR their defeats
