Notts -This Botm-n lias neon compiled from Abstracts of the Population of Townlands and Streets prepared by the several Enumerators, which may hereafter be altered in some degree upon Revision, Tint it is apprehended that no change of any very great importance wiUbe necessary. 

The date of the present Census being 08 days earlier than that of the preceding-5,841 persons should be added to the gross population of 1841, that being the number of harvest labourers who it was ascertained had left Ireland previous to the 7th June in that year. 
In the absence, however, of a general system of lustration of 

Blithe andDaaths in Ireland, the necessary adjustment in oonsecmencG of the change in the periods at which the Census of 1841 and 1851 were taken cannot he arrived at. 
Neither of these Abstracts include the Army serving in Ireland.
