MODERN TOEK. 117 €f)e Jftetf Cofoer. The Red Tower,—generally neglected, is an object of peculiar interest. Its situation is remote ; and the exte rior can only be seen from fields out of the common road, at the north side of Walmgate Bar. As we have already noticed, this tower forms the termination of the walls in this part of the city ; the base of it being washed by a small lake, formed by the Foss, now, by an impropriety of speech, called Foss islands, much frequented by skaters when the waters are frozen ; formally an artificial dock, constructed by the Romans for the accommodation of their snipping, &c. The present tower is built of red brick and stands on a stone foundation, the same as the walls. POPULATION OF YORK. The population of York has increased rapidly of late years. In the year 1801, it was 16,145; in the year 1811, it was 18,217; and in 1821, it amounted to 20,787; and in 1831, it reached 26,320, not including the parish of St. Olave, Marygate, which is in the north-riding. We take the return of the population of 1 831 , from the report of the Poor Law commissioners for 1837, which was as follows:— All Saints, Pavement 508 St. Michacl-lc-Belfray 1,350 All Saints, North-street 1,216 St. Martin-cum-Gregory, . 547 St. John, Micklegate 926 St. Sampson. , 995 St. Giles, (part of) . 1,052 St. Helen's, Stonegate. 707 Holy Trinity, Goodramgate . 540 St. Andrew, . 238 St. Mary, Bishophill, the Younger Minster Yard with Beddern (extaparochial) 901 St. Michael, (part of) Spurriergate . 1,462 642 St, Lawrence. 830 St. Dennis 1,718 St. Saviours. . 1,455 St. Margarets 1,034 St. Mary, Castlegate, 994 St. Maurice 1,114 St. Nicholas, . 103 Holy Trinity Micklegate . 1,108 St. Crux. 874 St Mary Bishophill Scnior(partof) 1,038 St. Peter-Ic-Willows - 413 St. John, Delpike . 350 St. Martin, otherwise St. Peter the Little 698 St. Wilfrid. 277 St. Martin-le grand,Coney-8treet.586 St. Cuthberts, St Helen-on-the- Liberty of Mint Yard, . 166 Walls & All Saints, Peasholm 1,805 Total 26,320 Holy Trinity, Kings Court . 706 Adding St. Olave, Marygate,* to this number, the po pulation of York was, in 1831, 26,945 souls.
