The English Census.

The population of England and Wales
under their admirable system, is taken in
one night, is ascertained to be over co..
100000. Scotland and Ireland will in
crease the population of the British Isles
to some 81 100000. This is just about
equal to the proportion of the United
States, north and south, which was 31,-
100000 by the census of last year.
England and Wales have about the popu
lation OF our loyal States, while Ireland
and Scotland equal all our Southern
States. The population Of the British Isl
ands is now nearly equal to that Of
France, where in the beginning of the
present century it was only about half as
great.
The population of Liverpool, including
its suburbs, as ascertained by the census
just taken, is 100000. New York city
and suburbs have over 1900 900. Man
chester, the great manufacturing city o'
England, has decreased in population with
in the last ten years. 1t now numbers
but $4,000 The diminished population
Of the city is owing to the conversion o.
dwelling houses into places of business
and the reconstruction Of narrow streets
crowding out the poor. The returns from
the rural districts Of England show q di
munition i'll the agricultural population
Glasgow, Scotland, including its suburbs
numbers 100000, being an increase O
$4,000 in the last ten years. Glasgow i:
pressing Liverpool hard, and is now the
third CITY in the British Isles.

grand army Of occupation when reviewed
from an eminence, gives one some idea OF
the immensity Of our military prepara-
tions.
