THE CENSUS.
An examination of the census returns, which we published the other day, discloses a very considerable diversity in the rate of progress on the part of the different provincial districts. Taranaki occupies the place of honor with an increase of over 2-1 per cent., while Westland is at the bottom of the list with an actual decrease of 12 per cent. Marlborough occupies second place, next to Taranaki, with 22£ per cent increase. Canterbury follows wish 21 per cent., and the other provincial districts in the following order: —Wellington, 19 per cent. ; Auckland, 18 per cent. ; Otago, 17 per cent. ; Hawkcs Bay, 12£ per cent. ; and Nelson, 4 per cent. The progress of the North has actually been greater than that of the Middle Island, the percentage of increase in population the former case being about 22£, and in the latter about 1G per cent.
