In London the average between 80 and 90 is 27, and between 90 and 100 but 2 in every 10,000.

London contains 1,225,694 resident inhabitants, besides 50,000 visitors and seamen. The females exceeding the males by 85,000. The inhabited houses were 164,681; and the number of families 287,101. 3,299 houses were building, and 8,246 were unoccupied.

Within a radius of eight miles of St. Paul's, the surface over which the population of Paris is taken, the numbers are 1,481,500, or double that of Paris, and perhaps equal to that of ancient Rome in its greatest prosperity.

In eight-ninths of the population of Great Britain, there are 34,964 males and 45,049 females between 80 and 90; 2,873 males and 4,046 females between 90 and 100; and 100 males and 191 females above 100.

In Great Britain there are 2,429,630 houses inhabited; 21,679 building; and 82,364 unoccupied.

The families employed in agriculture are 978,656, and those in trade, manufacture, and handicraft, are 1,350,739; other families are 612,488. The total popula tion being 14,391,651.

The demand for the Dictionary of History, the first of a series of separate dictionaries destined to constitute a Methodical Cyclopædia, having far exceeded the preparation of copies, and the necessary boarding and binding of several hundred volumes requiring many days; it has been judged more expedient to defer the general delivery till the 15th of January, than to create confusion and dissatisfaction by the partial delivery which must have taken place on the 1st of January, as proposed. Under these cireumstances, the second volume, containing Chemistry, Mineralogy, and Geology, will be delayed till the 1st of March, a delay which will be advantageous, because it will afford the public more time to estimate the merits and claims of the work.

For the honour of the age, it grieves us to learn, that the first number of the Liberal has had an indictment prepared against it by certain busy bodies, and that a Grand Jury have returned a true bill against the publisher. We have not been among the approvers of the empirical spirit with which the rival rhymesters of the hour seek to quack themselves into vulgar celebrity, and we therefore do not justify the bad taste with which they have severally blended religion with their ridiculous controversies; but bad taste

ought to be corrected by public opi-
nion, and not by the interference of
law. In this case public opinion had
decided, and the publication in ques-
tion had become harmless by not be-
ing read,-just like its precursor, the
Vision of Judgment, which had sunk
still-born, and would never have been
read beyond the month of its publica-
Nothing
tion, but for its travesty.
but the irritability of genius could
have stimulated Lord Byron to reply
to the Laureate: it was an eagle enter-
ing into formal contact with a tom-tit!
His lordship has, however, brought a
whole rookery upon him, and the ex-
pected tragi-comedy at Westminster,
in creating great public interest, will
at least serve the purpose of a thousand
puffs and advertisements. If the ge
nius of certain modern scribblers tran-
scends in any thing, it is in the art of
rendering themselves notorious, and
in profiting by the gullibility of their
cotemporaries, whatever may be their
reputation with posterity.

A Narrative is in the press of the Operations of the Left Wing of the Allied Army, in the Western Pyrenees and South of France, in the years 1813-14, under the Marquess of Wellington, comprising the passage of the Bidassoa, Nivelle, Nive and Adour, the blockade of Bayonne, &c. illustrated by numerous plates of mountain and river scenery, views of Fontarabia, Irun, St. Jean de Luz, and Bayonne, with plans, &c. drawn and etched by Capt. BATTY, of the Grenadier Guards, F.R.S. and member of the Imperial Russian Order of St. Anne.

Proposals are circulated for publishing by subscription, in one volume royal quarto, Memoirs of Mr. John Debrett, and the History and Literature of his Times, from original documents and papers prepared for publication by Mr. John Debrett some time previous to his death; comprehending a period of forty-five years, from the year 1777 to the year 1822 inclusive, and containing original anecdotes, biographical sketches, correspondence, and several unpublished productions of the most distinguished literary and political characters of the time. The whole arranged with a brief memoir of the history of literature of the last century, and biographical notices of the most celebrated booksellers distinguishing the same period. The press will be superintended by Mr. WILLIAM EARLE,

and

and twenty-six portraits will be introduced of eminent persons. Of Mr. Debrett's opportunities and capabilities, we can speak from personal knowledge.

Mr. HORNER is about to publish an illustrated prospectus of his Panoramic View of London from the summit of St. Paul's, containing various engravings, showing the superior advantages of the cathedral as a central point of view, including a geometrical section (fifty inches by thirty) of that edifice, with the north and south sides of the church-yard, and exhibiting the ascent from the base, through the circular stair-case, the dome, and the scaffolding, to the observatory erected above the ball and cross, from which the drawing was taken. It will also contain an account of the origin, progress, and completion of the under. taking; and of the extensive range of the metropolis, its suburbs, and surrounding scenery, which form the subjects of the engravings intended to be published.

The Rev. W. BUCKLAND is printing a description of what he empirically calls an Antediluvian Den of Hyenas, discovered at Kirkdale in Yorkshire, in 1821, containing the remains of the hyena, tiger, bear, elephant, rhinoceros, hippopotamus, and sixteen other animals, all formerly natives of this country, with a comparative view of many similar caverns and dens in England and Germany, and a summary account of the evidence of diluvial action afforded by the form of hills and valleys, and the general dispersion of beds of gravel and loam, containing similar bones, over great part of the northern hemisphere. The Reverend Professor errs in supposing and asserting that these congregated bones formed part of a den! The gradual retiring of the sea, and successions of meeting tides, would necessarily accumulate bones, &c. on particular spots; and the same effect may be constantly witnessed on all points among sand-hills on our coasts. The animals might even go to such spots for safety, or for food washed there. Researches in the South of Ireland are preparing, illustrative of the scenery, architectural remains, manners, and superstitions, of the peasantry, from personal observations, ancient authorities, and original manuscripts, by T. C. CROKER.
