ESTIMATED NUMBER of FOUR CLASSES of EMIGRANTS in the Interval between the CENSUSES of

It may be inferred from the official returns that the number of Emigrants from the United Kingdom was not less than 717,913 in the interval of the Censuses 1831 and 1841; 1,692,063 in the interval of the Censuses 1841 and 1851; and 2,249,355 in the interval of the Censuses 1851 and 1861.

The following is a RETURN by Her Majesty's Emigration Commissioners, showing the NUMBER of EMIGRANTS from the UNITED KINGDOM during the Ten Years 1851 to 1860.

NOTE.-It appears from the above table that 2,287,205 emigrants sailed from the ports of the United Kingdom in the ten years, 1851-60. Of that number, 1,582,475 emigrated in the eight years 1853-60; and 454,422 were found to be English, 121,530 Scotch, 736,731 Irish, and 115,353 foreigners. The origin of 154,439 emigrants was not ascertained. If we assume that these unascertained numbers should be distributed proportionately over the rest, the numbers of the several classes will be shown in the annexed table.

The emigrants in the first three months of 1851 were 56,584, consequently the number in the two years 1851-2, namely, 704,730, have to be reduced to 648,146 to obtain the number of emigrants in the interval extending from 1st April, 1851, to 31st December, 1852. The nationality was not then distinguished, but a large proportion of the emigrants was of Irish origin, and the best estimate will be made by assuming that the proportions were the same as in 1853; the results appear in the table. 18,734 emigrants sailed from the United Kingdom in the portion of 1861 terminating on April 8th, the census day, of whom 3,886 were English, 738 Scotch, 9,006 Irish, 842 foreigners; of 4,262 the native origin was not ascertained. In the following table the 4,262 have been distributed in classes in the proportions of those whose birthplaces were ascertained.
