TIIE ENGLISH CENSUS SYSTEM,
Ilavr the People are EaamerMed la flrent
Britain be Urndanl PeiTertlea of the
ftlarhlnery, and Its Superiority ( Oar tlrn.
The fclarlng defects of the recent enumeration
Of the people of Philadelphia will naturally excite
cariosity as to the census machinery of Grent
Britain, which enjoys such a biu reputation for
efficiency. The United States was the first
country In which a systematic attempt was
made to ascertain the number of inhabitants,
ft regular decennial enumeialion of the people
being provided for in the Constitution as
originally adopted, and the first census
taken In 1790, Immediately after the machinery
of the new form of government was put in mo
tion. In Great Britain the first regular census taken
was in 1301. The population previous to lht
time was much In dispute uutil 1S'?', when an
examination of the parish registers of births,
marriages, and deaths was made by the clergy,
the inquiry in some instances being extended
as far back as 1570. On tho supposition that
the births, marriages, and deaths bore the same
proportion to the total population before as
after that date, an estimate of the aggregate
population of England and Wales was mide on
this basis for various dates between 1570 and
1750, and these estimates form the most authen
tic cine extant to the population of the country
previous to the opening of tho present century.
Tiic census taken In 1801 included the number
of persons In each parish of the kingdom, dis
tinguished by sex but not by age, the number
of inhabited houses and lainilles tenanting
them, the number of uninhabited houses, and
some indefinite and unsatisfactory inquiries as
to the occupations of the people.
In the second census that of 1311 the same
facts were elicited, except that, instead of at
tempting to ascertain the occupation .of each
person, the number of families chiefly supported
by certain occupations was taken.
In 1321 the ages were ascertained for the
first time, classified by five years under twenty
and by ten over that age.
In 183 1 many improvements were introduced In
the census system, with respect to ascertaining
the occupations of the people, tho whole num
ber of occupations rctarned being 5'.)3. The
area of each parish and township was also
taken this year, for the fin-t time. Up to this
date, the enumerations were superintended by
Mr. Kickman, clerk of the House of Commons,
the labor being performed by the overseers of
the poor in England and Wales, aud by the
parochial schoolmasters in Scotland.
In 1841 the work of enumeration was trans
ferred to the otllcers of the Registrar-General
of births, marriages, and deaths, England and
Wales being divided into about 35.000 different
enumeration districts, each with not less than
25 nor more than 200 inhabitants, so that the
enumeration cf each district was easily com
pleted in a single day. The exact age aud em
ployment of every person were taken, and also
the number born in and out of the county in
which they resided, or abroad.
In 1851 still further improvements were
effected, inquiries being extended to the marital
and family relationships, tho number of blind
and deaf and dumb, and the statistics of reli
gious and educational Institutions. Under the
Registrar-General of births, marriages, and
deaths an office which had long been in exist
ence in England and Wales there were at that
time 024 superintendent registrars and 2190
local registrars. The latter divided their dis
tricts Into 30,610 sab-districts, with an enume
rator to each. There being at that time no
registration system in Scotland, the enu
meration in that country was made
by the sheriffs, schoolmasters, etc., the
number of enumeration districts being
7873, making 38,740 districts altogether,
with as many different enumerators, to an
aggregate population of 20,816,351. In the
United States the number of enumerators in
18C0 was 4417, to a population of 31,445,030
an average of 7119 inhabitants to each, while in
1851 the average in Great Britain was but 537
inhabitants to each enumerator. Hence, while
in the United States the enumeration is pro
tracted through an almost indefinite period, in
Great Britain it is completed in a single day,
and a degree of accuracy Is attainable which Is
altogether out of the question under the loose
system of this country. Under the per
fected English system which was
put in practice in Great Britain in
1851, a schedule was given to every
oscupier of a house or tenement, in the course
of the week preceding the 31st of March, and
every person to whom such a schedule was de
livered was required by act of Parliament, under
penalty for wilful default, to fill it up with
all the information required. On the 31st of
March each enumerator visited every house in
his district allowing five persons to a family,
the average number of houses to a district was
but 107 and collected the schedules, which ho
was required to correct when defective or appa
rently inaccurate, and fill up when returned to
him blank. The enumerator was directed to
ascertain carefully that bo person was omitted
from the schedule who slept in the
house on the previous night, and that no person
who was then absent was included. In some
cases, this course would not have resulted in
securing the actual population of a particular
district, but in all such cases the enumerator
was required to make an estimate of the num
ber of persons only temporarily absent from
their usual place of abode or temporarily in the
house in which they were found to have slept
on the night of March 30, to accompany the
published statements as comments, and also to
estimate the number of persons who had slept
in the open air or in other unusual places, on
the same night. Special schedules were also
prepared for sea-going persons in all capacities.
The whole task was thus elaborately laid out,
and effectively and accurately performed within
a single day, and by the 7th of June the aggre
gate result in the whole kingdom was ready for
inblication.
B.ut little improvement on the system so suc
cessfully carried out in 1851 was possible, and
therefore there were no material changes in
1861. In that year, the perfected system in all
its details was put in practice in Ireland, and
the enumeration throughout the entire United
Kingdom was made on the 8th of April, and
completed in a single day, as before.
Not until Congress sees fit to provide for the
tame elaborate machinery in this country as in
Great Britain can we expect to have an enume
ration of the people which will approximate to
the truth. The lamentable failure of the enu
merators in Philadelphia, New York, and other
large cities to perform their task thoroughly
this year should make such a durable impres
sion on public opinion as not to suffer it to be
forgotten and ignored by our law-makers, when
preparations are in progress for the census of
MUBlfJAC Ann I It ASIATIC.
The CltT Amusements.
At Tiik Ciiksnut Mad'lle Fanny .Tananschek
will appear this evening in the titlo role of
Schiller s tragedy of Mary Stuart. This lady
is one of the few really great tragic actresses of
the day, and as during her present engagement
she will perform In English, an unusual interest
will attach to her personations. The engage
ment of Mad'lle Janauochck is limited to six
nights nnd one matinee, and in addition to
"Wary Stnart" she will appear as "Deborah;"
"Bianca," in the tragedy of Fazio; "Lady Mac
beth" and In The Debutante.
At thk ARcn a new comedy entitled The Two
Hones, which has achieved couel lerable success
in London and New York, will be produced this
evening, with new scenery, appointments, etc.
At the Walnut Mr. J. 8. Clarke will appear
this evening as "Young Goslincr," in tho new
comedy of Fox and Goose, by Mr. J. D. Stock
ton, of this city, and the late William Brough.
This piece achieved a brilliant succecs in Lon
don when Mr. Clarke brought it out there dur
ing his brilliant engagement at the strand The
atre, and as Mr Stockton is a Philadclphian,
the Interest that is felt in its first performance
here will undoubtedly crowd tho Walnut to Its
utmost capacity this evening. The perform
ance will conclude with Nicholas NiekU'by, in
which Mr. Clarke will appear as "Newman
Nogga."
At the Amkkican Mr. O. W. Jester, the man
with the "talking hand," will appear this even
ing, in conjuuetion with a variety of other en
tertaining features.
Adam FoitEPAt.'eu's Circus and Menagerie
will commence its second week at the corner of
Broad and Wallace streets to-day. This show
Includes a full troupe of first-class equestrians,
acrobats, and trained horses, and a lirge collec
tion of wild animals. Exhibitions will be triven
this afternoon and evening:
At the Eleventh Street Oiera House
a new duct entitled "The Larboard Watch," will
be sung this evening by Carncroas and Kusell.
The burlesques of The Philadelphia Firemen,
Dr. Schencks Syrup, and Mad'lle Nilsson; or,
Hie Black Nightingale, will be repeated.
At the Alien Street Opera House Mr.
Hughcy Dougherty, tho favorite comodlau, aud
Messrs Sheridan and Mack, the character per
formers, will appear for the first time this
evening. The farce of Forty Winks will con
clude the evening's entertainment.
At Dupkez c Benedict's Opera House the
drama of Christmas Eve; or, The Duel in the
Snow, and the farce of Nicely Taken In are an
nounced for this evening.
The Germama Orchestra will resume its
Fopular matinee performances at Musical Fund
Iall on next Saturday. The "rehearsals" of
the Germania a few seasons ago were among the
most attractive musical entertainments ever
given in this city, and it was a matter of gene
ral regret when they were discontinued. It is
to be hoped that the effort now being made to
ehtablish this orchestra upon a permanent foot
ing will be a success, and that Its performances
will receive such patronage as they deserve.
Madame Marie Seedach will commence a
season of six performances of German tragedy
on Monday evening next at the Academy of
Muslo. tho is announced to appear as "Mary
Stuart," "Jane Eyre," "Adrlenne Lecouvreiir,
"Louisa Miller," in Schiller's K ah ale vnd Liebe,
and as 'Marguerite," in Goethe's Faust.
Madame Seebach has a great European reputa
tion, and although the experiences of Jauaus
chek demonstrated the difficulties In the way
of making German tragedy popular, her per
formances will doubtless merit the attention of
all real lovers of dramatic art.
English Opera. A season ot English opera
will commence at the Academy of Music on No
vember 14, when the combination under the
management of C. 1). Hess & Co., which in
cludes all the'principal members with theexcep
tion of Madame Pare pa-Rosa of the two troupes
that were before the public last season, will ap
pear in a round of favorite operas. This troupe
is now tho only one before the American public,
and as the prospects for operatic performances,
except for such as they dve. are exceedingly
slim, their season ought to be a brilliant suc
cess. city rrisras.
Fast Living and Its Oon3bquknce3. When
"fast lile" has undermined the strength, destroyed
tho appetite, Impaired the digestion, aud stolen
the hue of health from the cheek when the hand
trembles, the spirits droop, and the whole physical
and mental organization languishes, Is It possible to
repair the evil and restore the dilapidated system
to full health and vigor? We answer that it Is.
Hundreds of cases have been cited, thousands might
be cited, In which this regeneration has been accom
plished by the regular and persistent Use of Plan
tation Bitters. Abstinence from the indulgences
which have wrought the mischief Is, of course, ne
of the means of restoration. But it is not sufficient
alone. The consequences remain after the cause
has been abandoned. A wholesome and genial
tonic Is absolutely necessary to rouse the corporal
and mental energies from their state of collapse.
This good work It Is the mission of the Plantation
Bitters to perform. But no other stimulant must be
taken.
A Fine Thing for the Tbeth. The fragrant
Sozodont has taken a very promlpent place among
the most approved dentriflces of the day. It Is a very
popular article for the toilet, highly recommended
by all who have used It, as a beautiner and preserver
of the teeth, refreshing the mouth, sweetening the
breath, and arresting the progress of decay.
Mb. William W. Cabsidy, the Jeweller at No. 8
Booth Second street, has one of the largest and most
attractive stocks of all kinds of Jewelry and Silver
ware in the city. lie has also on hand a fine assort
ment of fine American Western Watches. Those
