ABSTRACTS AND SUMMARY TABLES OF RESULTS OF THE CENSUS OF NEW ZEALAND, TAKEN ON THE 16TH OF DECEMBER, 1861.

PRESENTED TO BOTH HOUSES OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY BY HIS EXCELLENCY'S COMMAND.

D—Xo. 9

Registrar-General's Office, Auckland, June 19th, 1862. Sir,— I have the honour to present herewith a series of Tables, containing certain principal results of the Census of New Zealand, taken on the 16th of December last. They have been prepared with the greatest practicable dispatch after the receipt of the necessary information, and comprise those branches of the Census Statistics on which there is the most general desire that the results should be officially made known without the delay which must necessarily attend a sufficiently careful compilation of other portions (such as those relating to Education, Religious Denominations, Occupations, Places of Birth, &c.,) throughout the Colony; all of which, as well as fuller details of information herewith presented in a condensed form, will be included in the Volume of Statistics for 1861 now in course of preparation. The late Census was taken under arrangements designed to collect the required information not only for the Colony as a whole and for the several Provinces, but also for each of the Electoral Districts established and defined by " The Representation Act, 1860," of the General Assembly. The following Tables have been constructed in pursuance of this plan. Thus, Table I. shows the Population of the Colony according to the division into Provinces, distinguishing the Sexes and the Ages as given in the Census Schedules; together with the Numbers and Descriptions of the Houses, and (in Notes) the Condition (Conjugal) of the People, the Population of the Chief Cities or Towns of the Provinces, and the Number-s of Half-Castes in each Province. Table 11. contains similar information respecting the Houses and the Numbers of the People in each of the Electoral Districts, but in this Tablo a different classification of Ages has been adopted,—viz., under twenty-one years, ?ind twenty-one and upwards. Tables 111. and V. respectively show the Live Stock in the possession of Europeans in each of the Provinces, and in each of the Electoral Districts. An enumeration of " Poultry," now for the first time introduced, has been added after the mode adopted in the Censuses of the Australian Colonies. Tables IV. and VI. relate to Cultivation and Crops, showing respectively for each Province and each Electoral District the Quantity of Land Fenced and the Number of Acres under each of the Principal Crops. The correctness of the figures given in these several Tables may, I am satisfied, be safely relied on for all practical purposes. It is right, however, to observe that fuller information on certain points is still expected from some of the Districts, and that the whole has to undergo a final revision on a comparison of the Returns of the different branches of the Census information with each other, the result of which will probably be that all the figures which will appear in the Statistical Volume will not precisely agree with all those now presented. But such corrections as may be thus required,—though not unimportant with reference to the object of exact statistical accuracy—are not likely to involve any alteration affecting any political, financial, or social question which may be influenced by the results of the Census. Stewart's Island and the Chatham Islands are not included, the Census Returns not Baying been yet received at this office. The Aggregate European Population of these Islands, however, would probably little, if at all, exceed 100 souls. With a view of showing, in a convenient form, statistical evidence of the rapid progress of the Colony, Comparative Tables are added (Tables VII., VIII.,) showing the Numerical and Centesimal Increase of the Population in the three years since the last Census was taken, and also in the ten years since the General Census in 1851. The Numbers for 1851 are from Abstracts of the Census published in the Government Gazette of May 31st, 1853. Some qualification with regard to the comparison of the results of that Census with those more recently taken may perhaps be deemed necessary from the circumstance that it (the Census of 1851) applied to the "Settlements" of New Zealand, while in 1858 and 1861 the more recent divisions into "Provinces" have been adopted. But although the geographical boundaries of the latter extend beyond the less defined limits of the former, yet, in a comparison restricted to the European Population, the difference is not so great as materially to affect the general value of the comparison.

CENSUS OF NEW ZEALAND-1861.

CENSUS OF NEW ZEALAND—IB6I.

It will be seen that the Population of European Descent in New Zealand which in 1851 was 26,707 had in 1858 increased to 59,254, being an absolute increase in seven years amounting to 32,547 persons, or calculated centesimally, of 121.86 per cent. This striking advance has, however, been surpassed proportionately by the progress in the interval of three years between the Census of December, 1858, and that of December, 1861. The Numbers enumerated in December last amounted to 98,915, being an Absolute Increase on the Population in 1858 amounting to 39,661, or an Increase of (56.93 per cent, in those years. To the Numbers actually enumerated, however, may be added 3,000 persons (Gold Diggers) who were believed, on sufficient authority, to have been on the roads and in the gullies at the Otago Gold Fields on the day when the Census was taken, but who, not having been individually entered in Schedules, are not included in the Returns. Thus the Population in December last may be fairly estimated at 101,915; being an Increase in three years (1858-1861) of 42,661 persons, or 71.99 per cent., and iv ten years (1851-1861) of 75,208 persons, or 281.60 per cent. It may be remarked that the Population of the single Province of Otago thus estimated, exceeded in 1861, that of the entire Colony of New Zealand in 1851, by 3456 souls. It is to be borne in mind that these Numbers do not include the Military and their Families, which, on the 16th of December last, numbered 7,294, —viz., Officers and Men, 5,836; Male Children, 437; Women and Female Children, 1021. The evidences of advance presented by the comparative figures relating to Stock and Laud Cultivation (Tables IX., X.,) present similar matter of encouragement. The Aggregate Numbers of Live Stock of all kinds which had increased in the seven years (1851--1858) from 299,115 to 1,727,997, still further increased in the three years (1858-1861) to 3,036,901, (not including Poultry enumerated at the last Census.) Taking Sheep separately, the Total Number in the Colony which, in 1851 was 233,043, and in 1858 had increased to 1,523,316, in 1861 amounted to 2,760,163. So, with respect to Cultivation and Crops, the Aggregate Quantity of Land under Crop which, in 1851 was 29,140 acres, and in 1858 had increased to 140,946 acres, in 1861 amounted to 226,478 acres ; and tho Land Fenced was, in 1861, 409,467 acres, against 235,468 acres in 1858, and 30,470 acres in 1851. The distribution of the Population, the Live Stock, and the Cultivation and Crops respectively amongst the several Provinces and Electoral Districts, will be found in the following Tables ; —but tho comparative Tables necessarily relate only to the Provinces, and in most of these Tables, for the purposes of comparison, the recently established Provinces have been included with those of which previously they formed part. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient servant, John B. Bennett, Registrar-General. The Honorable the Colonial Secretary.
