For the information of readers generally,
and more especially those in the -cannery
.who may have never seen the great Metro;
• polis, a few facts about " the firsteity in the
world," will prove interesting. London
may be said to be a little world'in itself, for
lthere are men of all countries. and cilium) in;
it. You meet with every variety of hanlan
opinion and human 'character within its vast
eircumference, and there is no -other Metro-
pollein the world which can, in thierespeete
be ebnipared with it. It is computed that
there are, on an average,, meekly 500,000
strangers at all timeseetaying only for a few
days, in London. The number of Scotehroen
eupposedto be in London, is 250,000; being
within. a few thousand of the populetioned

Computed at 450,00Q, being nearly equal to
the population of Dublin. The number of
• foreigners in the Metropolis is calculated te
be about 500,000.
• We have often been struck with the cir-
cumetentle Of meeting •with „so few; peraensi
patatively, who were born in the -Metro
