We consider the class of all partitions of a set of n elements into N blocks. Provided that the uniform distribution is given on this class and n, N → ∞, we describe the asymptotic behaviour of the mathematical expectation and variance and prove Poisson and local normal limit theorems for the random variable equal to the number of blocks of a given size in a partition chosen at random. We find asymptotic expansions of the number of partitions of a set of n elements into N blocks with exactly k = k(n, N) blocks of a given size.
