Population of Great Britain.
Few people have any adequate idea of
the immense labor involved in taking*
census of a large population. In 1851,
a census of Great Britain was taken; but
the results have not been rendered avail-
able to the public until quite recently;
and this delay will not seem surprising
when the following statistics arc consid-
ered, as given by the London Mail:—
The number of schedules returned to the
Census office was seven millions, or one
for every family in the kingdom, and in
weight 40 tons. These in manuscript
made forty thousand volumes. After
two years labor of the entire census force,
these foirf thousand volumes were re-
duced to three j^lky folios. The whole
number of persons employed in collecting
these statistics, was as follows: Superin-

the work for which it wasprganized
The labor of this host of men has at

of fifty or sixty pages, from which the
leading results of three years labor of an
amy of men has been rendered intelligi-
ject. It will not remain dredged out;
and if it did remain, still that will not do.
The great trouble is, first' that Lavaca
bay for five miles does'not afford water
enough for the larger vessels coming into
Matagorda bay and regularly landing at
the wharf of Indianola, to reach Port La-
ble to the people. From this it appears vaca, even if there were no bars to cross,
that the populationtof Great Britain has j Such vessels as the steamships Louisiana

United Kingdom has about reached its
stationary limits, considering the present
rage of emigration. ,..Th<s pref^t^ popu-
lation gives 233 persons to every square
mile in the kingdom, and would allow 2

the points. Another point is, that.if the

even 200 feet, which would require more
money than the whole,town would bring

a river, where neither wind nor sea can
do harm. Vessels in sea or bay must
have "sea-room," otherwise they are con-
stantly liable to sheer and ground on the
shoals near them. Every one acquaint-
ed with such navigation knows this. An
old sailor dreads a shoal as much as a
child does a Comanche.
But the channels will fill up, just as
surely as time rolls on—and why ? Be-
cause every wind that blows, and espe-
cially our northers and south-easters, cre-
ate a heavy commotion in the bay—the
water in Lavaca bay is thickly charged
with the muddy sediment from the Lava-
ca river and other streams and from the
numerous and everrincreasing mud flats
in the upper half of that bay; there is a
great deal of quick-sand all over the bay,
and these causes, with others, all tend to
combat every effort of man to resist the
laws of nature in the open bay, where the
confinement of the water into a single
channel, as at the mouth of a river, is ut-
terly impossible. A heavy sea plays with
every blow, upon these channels, with
the bar above and below and a little
channel of 50 feet in width, must needs
be filled up by such causes.
Now let us look at the facts so far de-
monstrated. The dredge machine cut a
channel 40?feet wide through Gallijiipper
bar, piling oge-half the mud and sand'on
each side, b\> which two islands of t«i.=,

most constantly to be seen fast on the
bare and shoals, in ascending or descend-
ing from La Vaca, it were an insult to a
reasonable man, to ask which were the
better policy. We accord to that place
those advantages that her age and pecu-
liar circumstances have bestowed; but
they weigh not a drop in the bucket in
considering the subject at large.
Indianola not only began her career
with all the business of the country at
Port La Vaca, and has risen up in the
face of a vigilant opposition, but has met
with very severe losses by fire and casual-
ties at sea, which have weighed heavily
upon her; but with all these disasters to
meet she has ndbly stood her ground, and
is now advanced with renewed spirit. It
required time and much money to prepare
wharfing and other facilities; but they
have been prepared, and are now telling
with decisive effect. The nucleus has
been formed, around which thousands
will, in a comparatively short time, con-
gregate to do business. Our receipts and
shipments of cotton this season are three
fold greater than ever before, and con-
stantly increasing. Before autumn Ave
will have built a road to the country, by
which the transportation of goods and
produce will be rendered as light as pos-
sible, until the iron horse can be brought
into requisition: a steamer will be plying
to Texana, tapping a large and product-
ive country, of which that highly favored
town is the natural outlet. It is hoped
the Colorado will be opened, as high up
as Columbus, and we shall see business
next season following new channels with
great advantage to the country. We con-
tend that whener goods are i*-shipped at
Indianola, they should go to the highest
lumgable points, as to Matn<rord; , Co-
lumbus, or Texana, depending' u^sa the j
final destination of the goods.

is a sufficiency of these necessaries for all
tion, and land transportation by wagons
or railroads, in these great elements
combined, she stands unrivalled. With
a. strong rivalry and years of age and
trade ahead of her existence, she has
grown to be much the largest town on
the bay, and she is still going ahead; new
improvements and brighter prospects are
constantly rising up before her. W e hold
that the country, under all the facts—
her unrivalled natural advantages, and
her astonishieg growth under an unabat-
ed persecution from enemies and so many
adverse circumstances, should lend every
encouragement to promote her growth
and the general concentration of trade
here. The advantages that would result
to the whole country from this course are
great and of lasting importance. In the
first place, by bringing all the shipping
to one good point, so that vessels will be
able to discharge and load without the
delays and expense of sticking on bars
and employing lighters at destructive
prices, freights will be relatively reduced
from one-fourth to one-third, and still
pay better to vessels. Capital will be
concentrated and build up capacious
docks, fire-proof ware-houses and stores:
wholesale houses will be established;

cheaper. Bay pilotage will be lopped

these changes, the puWk

of 1850, commonly called the compro-, be developed greatly to the present and
channel; and this fact is proven by Capt,
Bcehner, (who is high authority in all
such matters,) and several others, who
have passed through it—the Captain's
schooner grounding on 4 feet in the mid-
dle of it, and finding but 4 feet in sever-
al places of considerable length each. It
■was originally dug to a depth of eleven
feet, (so heralded by its prime movers
throughout the country, in so much that
the New Orleans Picayunc was led into
the worse than ludicrous mistake of say-
ing upon such authority that vessels
drawing eleven feet could then reach Port
Lavaca;) but in filling up it has become
irregular in its depth and may require
some time to assume its natural level.—
Another experiment was made at Port
Lavaca by the same machine. It worked
two or thifee days in digging out a place
designed as a basin , for a wharf. The
mud'and quicksand were taken out as at
Gallinipper bar; but on the third night,
a blow sprang up, causing a motion of
the waters; and next day they could not
tell where they had dug—-the mud and
quick sand had settled into their original
shape, as it always will, in a longer or
shorter time. i
A third trial was made on Indian Point
bar, just above this place. The machine
cut a channel 20 feet wide and some 400
yards long, piling a sand and mud island
on the north side some 7 or 8 feet above
the water. After it had remained there
during several weeks of calm weather, a
norther came on, and in 24 hours washed
it all back—no island was to be seen.—
At Bog island bar, below Matagorda,
and at sundry places in Espiritif Santo
bay, similar efforts have at different pe-
riods been made, all with substantially
the same results—some fiUing up almost
immediately; others requiring a longer
time. Snrh in divert smaller

But again, if all these things weresuc-

we invite the country to look at them.—
Vessels could only go up and down in
mild weather, and with favorable winds
and tides; thus involving the most blight-
ing delays in shipments. They must em-
ploy special bay pilots, at an additional
expense. They must pay to this patriotic
dredging company, fifteen cents per ton
for every ton they mcasqre at the custom
house, for going up, and the same for com-
ing down. This littfc exaction in the
shape of toll (merely to reimburse the pa-
triots for their outlays in the enterprise)
on a schooner of three hundred tons,
would be ninety dollars per trip! On the

OBITUARY.
The death of the statesman and military chief-
tain is promulgated throughout the whole extent
of our country, with all the titterings of pomp and
show,—their great Lchievements are recounted,
their important services recapitulated, the rancor
of party spirits is disarmed: but there is that lack-
ing which shows that there is no real grief felt by
the mourning crowd. But it is not so when death
assails our domestic circle. Those who are taken
away from us are so deeply identified with our-
selves that we sensibly feel their loss, and we may
be pardoned if we devote a few moments of reflec-
tion to the memory of one. the departure of whose
gentle spirit, which but a short time'since adorned
its tabernacle of clay, has filled onr hearts with sor-
njw; for when death claimed as his own that mere
garment of the soul—the perishable robe which
enshrouded her lovely mind >nd peaceful spirit—
we felt that in fte samnams^of Asxa Dcdley

highly ornamented, we weredeprtved of a treasTtre—a School at the,
which could never be restored.
She was indeed a bright example* of every virtue
that can exalt and dignify the human character,
for in all the relations of life her excellent qualities
shone conspicuously. As a wife* she was unsur-
passed ; as a daughter, sister, friend, she was all
that woman of the most delicate and refined feel-
ings, educated in the best of schools could be.
In the midst of a lingering illness, her heart
strings were unstrung by a call from the spirit land,
The tender bud which blossomed on her bosom left
her arms to bloom in beauty in the. courts of heaven.
Ere the bruised feelings of this severe loss were
healed, she received another blow; the partner of
her life, her devoted husband, descended to the
portals of the tomb. Through these trials she
passed in patience and resignation of spirit, and
awaited calmly the hour when death would unite
her to her treasures.
She diedWvs she had lived, btloced and respect-
ed by all. Her memory is embalmed by the tears
of friends, relatives and dependants. To really
know her, ensured her the highest respect and es-
teem. To a highly cultivated mind, which she re-

Weak and delicate persons are mad# strong by

Persons visiting districts harrassed annually with

is better than cm-e.
Full directions for their use win be found with-
in the wrappers about each bottle.
These Bitters require no certificates of remark-

as their patron, is a sufficient guarantee, he having
prescribed them for manyVears in his private prac-

them having incrensed to so great an extent, that
it has become necessary to manufacture them ex-
tensively for public distribution.
