On the basis of the number of trainee in the
new oity directory, the population of New
York, from the Southern boundary of Yorkers at from 3;o to 4o, common abet 3c. Calves
to the Battery, is not less than 1,600,000. in good demand at from $2.50 to $10. Sheep
The population of Brooklyn is probably over dull at from $3 to $5. Good lambs in de -

A geographically united to, the port of New

Titan district is more than 2,200,000. At the
present moment the population of the area
known as tbo Registration District of'Londou
is about4,250,000, so that there is a long in
tern' to be covered before we can begin to
rival the populousness of the great English
"province in brick and mortar." But if New
York keeps up its accelerated rate of growth
is about 60,000. But in the ten years ho-
tween 1870 aud 1880 the average annual addi
tion to our city population was less than 27,•
0:)0 eo that we have already more than
doubled the annual increment of the decade
preceding last census, andhave for the last six
years established an average of 58,000. This
kind of geometrical progression has only to
be maintained to make the size of New York
as unexampled as its ernwth—NewYorkEpoch

Lieut. Reginald Warren, the ghampiou at
Wimbledon this year, is a little over 30 years
of age, and is a solicitor in London, He visited
Wimbledon Common to shoot for the first
thine in 1871.
R Hutton, who played the bassoon in the
band of the Seaforth Highlanders, died sud
,denly on the I5tb ult., from an affection of
the throat, said to have arisen from playing
that instrument.
Alexander Adams, who is performing the
novel feat of walking from Dundee to London
on stilts, arrived in York on July 16th. He
left Dundee on June 25th, and expected to
reach Lindon ou the 30th, alt: He met wish
a poor reception during his journey.
Charley Laomis,a Kansas City saloon-L-eep•
er, has anchored a boat in the exact centre of
the,3iissonri River, where he sella whiskey
without paying License. Ho claims that no
one can ascertain under what jurisdiction he
does business, Several attempts have been
made to convict him under the law, but each
time he escaped ou the ground ofnon•jexisdie-

made at least one man take water.
Cablegrams bring the alarming news that
the cholera is spreading in Southern Italy,and
there is a general fear that it will overrun
Southern Europe in the next two months pro-
bably extending in every direction when the
dry season ends in the rains which so spread
the infection. The plague is firmly seated in
Malta, which makes Euglish physicians very
nervous about its possible transmission to
English by troop ships, always one of the
choicest means of transnorting the contagion.
The Boston Commercial Bulletin records
the following singular Cause of a fire ;—A fire
happened in a woollen mill in the most re•
markable way a short time ago. Two shut-
tles in a flannel loom got out of adjustment
and tho metal point struck each other so ex•
flatly ou the end as to cause a spark that
set fire to the warp. A pail of water extin-
guished it, A fire from this cause was never
known before, and might never be known to
ooeur again, as the most minute deviation

In order to relieve to an extent the ember
moment resulting from the treasury surplus,
United States Secretary Fairchild has resolved
to pay in advance that portion of the interest
on the public debt falling due within the next
six months. This will amount to 'about $22.•
000,000. The relief will be only temporary;
for when the time comes at which the interest
should properly have beeu paid there will be
nothing to pay, and the surplus will acoumu•
late faster than ever. Itis thonght,however,
that the secretary has been led to take this
stop on account of the stringency in the
money market and the depression of stooks
during the past fortnight. -
