VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA.

The full census returns for the colony of
Victoria was published on the 9Th MAY,
and the Melbourne Argus gives very full
abstracts which may he interesting to us
here.
The most striking feature of the returns
ID the enormously disproportionate ex-
pansion OF the urban as compared with
the country population.
While the mining districts are report
ed weaker than at the last decennial GEN.
sus, and the new agricultural districts
somewhat stronger, the population of
the city OF Melbourne has increased by
73 per cent, the increase in the whole OF
the rest OF the colony is only IL per cent.
VI every fourteen people in the colony,
Six are in the metropolitan area and
eight outside, or to put it in figures,
total population of Melbourne is 4S9, 1856,
the rest of colony GA ,661, making total
OF ,l33, 600, which is $4,000 below the
estimate of the Government statist. a
discrepancy which is supposed to be
largely due to the fact that numbers OF
passengers leaving the colony do not
book at the office but on board the ship
just before sailing. The proportion of
the sexes is considered to be favorable.
as IN 1881 the increase for the preceding
decade was mostly female, in the last ten
years, while the males have increased
by $4,000, the female increase is only
10000. The male population OF Victoria
now exceeds the female by 55,3l4. The
total increase is the largest since the
gold rush era being 271 500, or
more than double the increase between
1871 and 81.
As compared with the neighboring
colony OF New South Wales the Victor
ians are some $1,000 behind, as the
older colony is credited with total pop
ulation of 10000.
An estimate of the comparative wealth
has been made the Statist of Victoria.
by ascertaining for series of years the
average amount left by each person dy-
ing In either colony which gives from
1885 to 1889 the sum Of 1899 left bv each
person deceased in Victoria against s31s
by each in New South Wales.
One other point is worth noticing; it
is that the census was TAKEN on the 5th
of April and PUBLISHED on the 5st of
May. The final checking has of course
yet to b. done
