Some three hundred thousand human soula havft Yen added tdhe population of London since the census of 1851. Withm the border of that metropolis are gathered one-tenth part of the popnlati n of Scotland, England, and TreUnd. It is five times more populous than New York, four times m re populous than St. Petprsbu-2, twice as papulous as Constantinople, with two-thirds more people in it than in Pans, and one-fourth more than the population of Pekin. Every eight minute? of every day of every year one per cent, dies, and every five minutes of every day of every year one is born, The extant of its territory is never the "same. Measuring within its girdle 90 square miles, every year Borne green fi4ds are built over, and some new suburb arises with five or six hundred houses, and three or four thousand inhabitants. It is at once the Court, the seat of Government, the centre of fashion, the home of all the charities, and a general rendezvous for most of the criminal and desperate classes of the kingdom. It contains one hundred thousand winter tramps, forty thousand coisters; thirty thousand paupers in the Union, more Jews than are to be found in all Palestine, as many Asiatics and other heathenß as are to be found in Poona, *with a criminal class, of whom 66,000 were committed last year' (so,ooo males and 16,000 female?)! of Which number only 7,000 could read and i write.
