Census of ENGLAND

TIL first volume Of the census for England
which has just been issued, shows the numbers
and distribution of the people in the several
parishes and places. An abstract of the re-
turns was published last year; a careful rsvis-
ion of them shows that on the 9Th of April,
1861, the population of England and Wales,
with the Isle of Man and Channel Islands, in.
Guiding the army at home and the navy and
seamen in the ports, rivers, and creeks-ths.
is to say all the persons in the kingdom
amounted in number to 20,209,6 GIL. The re-
ports for Scotland having also been revised,
the population on that day is found to hsvs
been 23,271 ,965; and the returns for IRELAND
when the revision of these, also, is completed
will bring the population Of the United King
dom to above 100000. The increase ID
England and Wales alone, since the census Of
1851, has been 2,13S.000, notwithstanding
the United Kingdom, Of whom it is calculated
that GAG, 3l6 were English. Since the census
Of 1851 the male population of England Of
and Wales has increased 11.3S per cent; the
female population II SO per cent. The excess
Of females over males, 395, I59 in 1851, had
grown to 513, 7Os in 1861 and these figures do
not include the army, navy, and seamen out Of
the kingdom. In Scotland the disproportion
is still greater; in Great Britain, with the is
lands in the British seas, the excess of females
over males in 1861 was 687,471 to which the
Irish returns, according to the unrevised ab.
stract, have above 10000 to add. On the
census night 62,470 persons were on board
vessels in the harnors, rivers. and creeks q
England and Wales, without reckoning persons
in barges on canals; in the metropolitan dis
taict 8,0S4 persons were on board vessels ID
the docks and the Thames. In England and
Wales 124, 962 persons were in work-houss
and work house. schools, 1886 in hospitals,
q, 5O7 in lunatic asylums, &c, 1874 in prisons
and reformatories, 1898 in orphan asylun'
and other principal charitable institutions
without reckoning in any instance the of6ca
staff in charge Of these institutions, s0,SSs
persons, military and families of military,
were in barrrcks. The population of the Isle
of Man and the Channel Islands, which had
previously been increasing, has, in the last ten
years under review, hardly maintaiuediis
number, except by an increase of the military
force. In few months the publication Of the
census of England will be completed by the
issues of tables of the ages, occupations, birth
places, SC, of the people, with q report Oh the
general results.

CONNECTICUT AND THE PREsIDESr-The lower

by vote of $50 TO AZ, adopted resolution

rB-The Tory papers threaten to withdraw
their support from the Government in case the
President persists in issuing his Emancipation
proclamation. This is bad for the President and
for the country. If Steward, Clagget, Dean
Mahony and Dodge should withdraw and refuse
longer to support the war it might bring abou,
a crisis and perhaps counter revolution. We
hope they will not do it. We implore them to
ct the war 60 on.

Dear Sir:-The letter signed by you and
several other parties Of the 18th inst. is at hand
The House has already passed bill curing the
stamp difficulty of which you write. The five
dollars penalty is repealed, and time extended

Any party in interest may afix stamps and can
eel; also may use any kind of stamps until that
time, for any kind Of ilstrument SO the amount
corresponds with the requirement OF the law
The entire difficulty will be cured.
Yours truly,

E The work of raising the track of the c.,
B. & O. Railroad across the bottom opposite this
city, still progresses. The weather has been fa-
vorable, and about mile of track, including
several bridges, has been raised. Piles are be-
ing driven at all the bridges preparatory to the
erection of more permanent structures upon the
new grade, which is above big h water mark. The
work will probably be SO far completed at that
time as to prevent any interruption of business
by the June rise in the Mississippi. We wish
we conld also announce as much in regard to the
wagon road across the bottom. This is a job
that must be done.

4 Iowa TRoops-It is some consolation to US of
Iowa, that in the raid of Van Dorm and his for
ces, within Gen.. Grants lines, he has invariably
found the Iowa troops wide awake and ready for
him. On the Goth ult he made an assault on
our forces at Davis Mills, probably not aware
that $50 Iowa boys, of the 25th, commanded by
Col. Morgan, and two companies of the 9Th Ohio
cavalry we're there. The result was, that Van
Dorm was repulsed, losing 20 killed, 80 wounded,
and number Of prisoners; and sixty muskets
It would be the same with all our forces, we're
not so many officers devoting their time to some.
thing else than watching and guarding against
the enemy When will the authorities learn
that it is military necessity to dismiss all such
incompetents. A surprise is always an evidence
of neglect. The officer who is caught mapping
ought to be at once authorized to do it outside
the army.

GEN. BANKs.-The landing of so large por-
ton Of Gen. Banks expedition 60 far up the
Mississippi as Baton Rouge was an indication
that he was to cooperate in the first instance
with the movement Southwark against Vicks-
burg. If Port Hudson is already captured, as
dispatches published yesterday assert, then 60
far IS We have learned, there are no distractions
left south of Vicksburg, and it is probable that
our forces, moving up and down the river, are
already at, or about, that point. Of course We
look upon the forces and means thus concentra.
ted there as quite competent to take the place
without difficulty. Once taken, the whole Mis-
sissippi will be open to US, and nothing but gross
incompetency will ever permit it again to be
closed for single hour. The supplies require
for the forces at and about New Orleans will
thereafter be transported down the river safely,
expeditiously, and at an immense reduction Of
expense, and the Confederacy, for the first
time, will be effectually cut in two, and one of
it's chief sources of supply completely separated
