POPULATION OF ENGLAND AND WALES.The number of persons returned as living in England and Wales at midnight on April 4th, 18~h,

was 25.968,286. This was an increase in ten years of 14'34 per cent, or an amount almost exactlyequivalent to the addition of a second London. We may remark that the rate of increase dependslargely upon the birth-rate and the death-ratec--fhe factors of emigration and immigration being oflittle cornparntrve importance; and they, moreover J can be told with only vagueJy approximativeaccuracy. Of these 25,968,286 persons, 12,624,754 were males, 13.343,532females, or an excess of718,778; a number which would be lessened, however, were the army, navy, and merchant serviceabroad not excluded from the reckoning.

Roughly dividing the population into urban and rural (terms which may be taken to apply-thefirst to the inhabitants of the chief towns and their immediate neighbourhood; and the second tothose of smaller towns, as well as of the strictly country parishes), we find that there was

1881.An Urban, population of ..•..•.•.•...•...• 17,285,026; or a percentage of 66'6And a Rural 11 '" ••••••••••••••• 8,683,260; " 33'4

Giving a Total for England and Wales of.. 25,968,286; 100'0Or a very near approach to a population of exactly 2 to I of urban over rural districts.

POPULATION OF LONDON.This, at midnight on Monday, the ath of April, 1881,was 3,814.5il, a number which, by itself,

somewhat exceeded that of the nineteen largest provincial towns-Birmingham, Bradford (Yorks),Brighton, Bristol, Hull, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle-on-Tyrie, Norwich, Nottingham,Oldbams Plymouth, Portsmouth, Salford, Sheffield, Sunderland, and Wolverhampton-in the aggre-gate 3,764,244. No fewer than 560,3II persons were added to the inhabitants of the metropolis in thecourse of the decade, a number surpassing the entire population of Liverpool, the largest provincialtown (552,425). The total of London has almost exactly doubled itself in the course of 4I years,whilst that of England and Wales has taken 57 years, The metropolis has thus been gaining; andwhereas at the beginning of the century ODe Englishman or Welshman in ten lived in London, theproportion is now one in seven.

OUR ILLUSTRATIONS.BANKS OF THE DOVE.

A mile or two over the meadows from Harting-ton will bring us to the little fishing-house familiarto every reader of the" Angler." As we comeupon this spot we should be ready to exclaim,with Viator, 11 Now, I think this a marvellouspretty place, especially if we look from the brinkof the hill upon the river, the vale it windsthr~>ughlike a snake, and the little fishing-house."This house was built by Cotton, and dedicated toanglers. _

THE OLD BRIDGE-THE DARGLE.This beautiful spot is about three miles from

Bray, and fifteen from Dublin. Sir J. Forbescompares it to the val~eyof the Wye, and a corn-pamou to the Wyndchffe of that locality is foundhere in the Lover's Leap, a lofty rock coveredwith creepers and mosses, the summit of whichprojects across the glen, and overshadows thetorrent below.

GLASTONBURY.Glas.tonb~IJ:' Somerset, twenty. five miles from

Bath, 1S built in the form of a cross and owes itscelebrity entirely to the monastery which existedhere from A.D. 60 to the reign of Henry the Eighth.The town occupies a peninsula, formed by theriver Brue, or Brent, called the Avelon. Its exporttrade of timber, slates, and tiles is carried on bymeans of a canal connecting it with the BritishChannel.

PEVERIL CASTLE, CASTLETON.This celebrated ruin is situated immediately

above Castleton, on Castle HiIl-U That gray crag begirt with towers,"

which is, in fact, a promontory from the moun-tains forming the south side of the valley. On theeast is Cave Dale, and on the west a narrow gorgeleading to Peak Cavern. The castle ruins aresomewhat small, but the outer wall still remains,fencing- the summit of the hill on every side. Thecastle is mentioned in Domesday Book, and wasthen in possession of William Peveril, who is saidto have been a natural son of the Conqueror. Ithas seen many vicissitudes of fortune, and is nowleased from the Crown by the Duke of Devonshire.

INVERARY.Inverary is a royal and municipal borough and

seaport of Scotland, and the chief town of Argyle-shire, sixty miles N.W. of Glasgow, and thirty-twomiles S.E. of Oban. It is built upon a small bayfive miles from the head of Loch Fyne. where theArag falls into that arm of the sea. It is repre-sented in Parliament in union with Ayr, Irvine,Campbeltown, and Oban by one member. Thechief support of the place is herring fishery,though a considerable influx of tourists of lateyears have called here. Near the town, on thesouth bank of the Arag, stands the Castle ofInverary, the principal residence of the Duke ofArgyll. It is a large quadrangular building, witha round tower at each corner, and a high glazedpavilion by which the staircase and saloon arelighted, shooting- np above the towers in the centre.The castle was founded in I745, and is built of amicaceous slate brought from the other side of the

, lake, which is extremely soft, but will probably last, a long time. The stone is of a bluish grey colour,and a single shower of rain turns it quite black,but a gleam of the sun restores its original colour.

CLOVELLY.Clovelly is built on the side of a steep rock, to

which the houses seem joined like pigeon hutsagainst a wall. At the bottom there is a smallpier, The place is famous for the best herringstaken in the channel. An ancient encampment,called Clovelly Dykes, is situated on a command-ing height here.

LANE IN OXFORD.The view of the City of Oxford from all the

neighbouring heights is very picturesque. Theprincipal approaches are from the four cardinalpoints, and High Street-the principal street-isupwards of a mile IO:J.g, and so well edificed as tobe esteemed one of the handsomest streets inEurope. The four main streets meet at rightangles in the centre of the city, The generalappearance of Oxfordshire is one of surpassingloveliness, and Broome Hill and Chiltern Hillsare almost the only ones in the county.

BERRY POMEROY CASTLE.The magnifi·cent ruins of the castle, erected by

the Pomeroys, are seated upon a rock which risesperpendicularly from a narrow valley throughwhich winds a small stream of water. Beingoverhung by the branches of trees and shrubs,and incrusted with moss and mantled by ivy, theruins form one of the most striking and picturesqueobjects in the county. The great gate, with thewalls of the south front, the north wing of thequadrangle, some apartments on the west side,and a few turrets are all that the Parliamentariansleft in their destruction. The town of BerryPomeroy is also said to have been destroyed bylightning.

DROGHEDA.Drogheda (Irish-''' The Bridge of the Ford ").

a Parliamentary borough of considerable import.ance, is built on both sides the river Boyne, fourmiles from its mouth, and thirty-one miles fromDublin. The Dublin and Belfast Railway crossesthe Boyne here by a viaduct 95 feet high. Vesselsof 500 tons reach the quay, and barges of 50 tonsply nineteen miles up the river to Navan. Theparts of Drogheda on the opposite sides of theriver formed two opposing corporations till I412,when' a sermon by a friar caused a petition toHenry 1., who gave a charter of union. Fromthe 14th to the 17th century Drogheda was thechief military station in Ulster. and had the rightto coin money. In I494 Sir Edward Poyningswas appointed Lord Deputy of Ireland, and atDrogheda passed the famous law bearing his name.He was empowered to 11 search and purge all suchtowns and placeswhere Perki n [Warbeckj wasreceived, relieved, or favoured." The battle ofthe Boyne, fought at Oldridge, four miles west ofDrogheda, in 1690, led to its surrender to WilliamIll. the day after. Drogheda was formerly walledround, and two of the four gates and some but-tresses still remain, besides the ruins of manyfriaries and monastic institutions. Droghedawas formerly a city and county, but is now aParliamentary borough in parts of the countiesLouth and Neath. The celebrated ruins of 'I'araand Monasterboice and -Helfipont are also withineasy distance.

OUR ILI,.l.)STRATIONS.ENGLISH RURAL SCENERY.

The view presented in our illustration is one ofsurpassing loveliness to the tow~sman longing forthe relaxation of a summer holiday. The placidtream the joyous faces of the husbandmen as

~hey g~rner a plentiful ~arves~, a~d the sublimemountain range, standing Iike Iordly graut ssmiling on the scene beneath, forms a picture soserene as to give a foretaste of the sweet pleasureof the actual spot. The progress of the nation,the high speed at which human life has now tolive superinduces the yearning for this rest andrefr~shment suggested to the mind ~Ythe con-templation of rural beauty as here depicted.

The Lake Country is, the only part of Englandin which such a scene as here shown can be multi-plied ad libitum, and Wordsworth, in the a~c:om-panying poem, beautifully expresses the sprn t ofthe scene depicted by the engraver.

THE SOLITARY REAPER.BY WM. WORDSWORTH.

Behold her single in the field,Yon solitary Highland lass!Reaping and singing by herself;Stop here, or gently pass!Alone she cuts, and binds the grain,And sings a melancholy strain;Oh, listen, for the vale profoundIs overflowing wi th the sound.No nightingale did ever chantMore welcome notes to weary baurjeOf travellers, in some shady hauntAmong Arabian sands:Such thrilling voice was never heardIn spring-time from the cuckoo-birdBreaking the silence of the seasAmong the farthest Hebrides.Will no one tell me what she sings?Perhaps the plaintive numbers flowFor old, unhappy, far-off things,And battles long ago:Or is it some more humble lay,Familiar matter of to-day?Some natural sorrow, loss, or pain,That has been, and may be again?Whate'er the theme the maiden sang.As if her song could have no ending iI saw her singing at her work,And o'er the sickle bending;-I listened-motionless and still ;And when I mounted up the hill,The music in my heart I bore.Long after it was heard no more,

CLIFTON HAMPDEN CHURCH ANDFERRY.

Foreigners vislttng England for the first timeare usually struck with that feature of Englishscenery well described by the word pastoral.Quiet, peaceful, and pretty, it is doubtful if anequal degree of sweet content and rustic lovelinesscan be found in so many leagues anywhere as ismet with in many of the hamlets bordering on theThames, in its meandering through Gloucester-shire, Oxfordshire, and Berkshire. It is, then, nowonder that artist and author have vied with eachother in setting forth the glories of the Thames,Cl that king of island rivers." Of the many beauti-ful spots thus broug-ht before us Clifton Hampden

deservedly holds high rank. It is situate aboutthree and a half miles from Abingdon, in Oxford-shire, on the U higher reaches" of the Thames.The village is neat, well ordered, and evidentlyprosperous. Over the whole district there isevidence of wise and generous superintendence,the clergyman there, it is said, uniting in himselfthe squire and rector. Thus the temporal andspiritual wants of the people receive generous andconsiderate attention. The church, though small,is of mixed styles of architecture, beautifullysituated on a bend of the river, and has beenrestored under the direction of Mr. Scot t, thearchitect, in extremely good taste, at the cost ofthe patron, Mr. Henry Hucks Gibbs, in pursuanceof the wishes of his father, the late Mr. G. H.Gibbs, who left by will a considerable sum ofmoney for· that object. A handsome lich gate,of carved oak, has been placed at the entrance tothe churchyard, adding much to the picturesquebeauty of the spot. The scenery is porely pastoral,but is relieved by gently undulating hills, uponthe boldest of which the church has been built.In the restoration of the church care was taken touse all that was sound and useful in the old struc-ture, and the most careful pains taken to restorethe old features of the church faithfully. Fromthe tower of this church, raised as it is somewhatabove the surrounding district, we obtain a nobleview of Oxford, and exclaim, in the language ofWarton-Cl Ye fretted pinnacles, ye fanes sublime,Ye towers that wear the mossy vest of time,Ye mossy piles of old munificence,At once the pride of learning and defence;Ye cloisters pale, that, lengthenin~ to the sight,To contemplation step by step invite ;Ye high arch'd walks, where oft the whispers clearOf harps unseen have swept the poet's ear iYe temples dim, where pious duty paysHer holy hymns of ever echoing praise;Lo! your loved Isis, from the bord-ring vale,With all a mother's fondness bids you hail!Hail! Oxford, hail! "

SPIT HEAD.Spithead is one of those celebrated spots that

can never become uninteresting, nor indeed un-important. When George the Third was King itwas a place of all-absorbing interest for manyyears during the wars against Napoleon, and it isstill a favourite rendezvous for the British navy.It receives its name from the 11 Spit," a sandbankstretching three miles from the South Coast ofEngland towards the Isle of Wight. It is theeastern, as the Solent is the western, division ofthe strait between the Isle of Wight and themainland. The H Spit" is about fourteen mileslong by about four miles average width, and iscalled by the sailors the 11 King's bedchamber," itis so well protected from winds. Its capacity isvery great, a thousand sail of the line being ableto ride at anchor at one time. It was here, in 1797,the sailors of the Channel Fleet mutinied for moreliberal pay and allowances, pecnlation and jobberywere found rampant in high quarters, and thedemands were granted by the Admiralty.
