+ THE returns of the Registrar Gen
eral show some curious statistics with
regard to the population in Ireland
particularly in respect to its diminu-
ton. It appears thatiast year, among
the Protestants, there was oneamar-
riage for every LA persons and only
one marriage for every PIP Roman
Catholics. The rate in England is
one marriage for. every L2 persons.
There is a theory that a tondness for
early marriages abounds among the
Irish, and the marriages are almost
universal, few persons remaining
single to the end of their lives. The
statistics would seem to d~isprove this,
particularly as the birth-rate in Ire
land is only two and one-half births
to every one hundred of the popula-
ton, while in England it is three and
one-half. These discrepancies are
accounted for on the ground that
some Depew may have taken the latest
census in Ireland, or what is more
likely, that the flow of emigration
carries off the young and marriage
able, and leaves the old and feeble at
