      Population Of The United States.—The New...

      Population of the United States . —The New-York papers contain a census of the population of the United States , and , compared with the census of 1840 , it is most interesting . It is observed that a few of these returns are estimates , in part , the marshals taking the census , but that they are sufficiently near to what maj ; be called correct for a comparison . A total of forty cities , towns , and villages shows within the ten years an encrease from 382 ? 913 to 831 , 802 inhabitants , or 448 , 889 , which is equal to 117 per cent . The American editors with truth remark , of these returns , that they show an astonishing encrease , and prove the great pros- .

      perity of the country during the period in question , as the cities and towns mentioned comprise a large proportion of the commercial and manufacturing marts of the Union . These returns , it is admitted , do not form a correct guide , or index , to the general encrease of population throughout the United States , many of the agricultural districts having remained about stationary , and others showing but a small encrease . The agricultural regions which will exhibit the greatest encrease are those of the Valley of the Mississippi . It was supposed , judging from the returns received , that there was in the ten years an encrease , on the wuole , of upwards of four millions . Baltimore had encreased from 102 , 313 to 165 , 000 ; Cincinnati from 46 , 338 tf > 150000 ; St . Louis from 16 , 469 to 90 , 000 ; Buf-

      , f ilo from 18 , 213 to 50 , 000 ; Providence from 23 , 171 to 43 , 000 ; Williamsburgh ( New York ) from 5094 to 30 , 884 ; Richmond ( Virginia ) from 20 , 153 to 30 , 280 Lowell ( Massachusetts ) from 20 , 796 to 32 . 9 S 4 ; Syracuse ( New York ) from 5500 to 22 , 000 ; Chicago ( Illinois ) from 4470 to 35 , 000 ; Milwaukie ( Wisconsin ) from 1700 to 20 , 026 ; Utica ( New York ) from 12 , 782 to 17 , 558 ; "Wilmington ( Delaware ) from 8367 to 13 , 700 ; Oswego ( New York ) from 4658 to 12 , 199 ; Poughkeepsie from 7500 to 11 , 080 ; Pottsville ( Pennsylvania ) from 4337 to 7396 ; Norris Town ( Pennsylvania ) from 2937 to 6050 ; New Brunswick ( New Jersey ) from 6500 to 7893 ; Nashua ( New Hampshire ) from 3700 to 5920 . The returns for gome of the larger cities had yet to be made , as more time was required in preparing them .

      The Foreign Trade . —The total number of vessels which entered inwards the ports of the United Kingdom in the month ended September 5 was 2755 ; the tonnage of which amounted to 592 , 373 . The total number of vessels which entered inwards during the eight months ended the same day was 20 , 155 , with a tonnage of 3 , 824 , 470 , as compared with 19 , 846 , and tonnage 3 , 855 , 050 in the similar period of 1849 . In the similar period of 1848 , the total number of vessels entered inwards was only 16 , 051 . The encrease of shipping ,

      therefore , in 1850 , was 4104 vessels . The total number of vessels which cleared outwards in the month ended September 5 , 1850 , was 3352 ; with a tonnage 647 , 992 , as compared with 3181 , and tonnage 631 , 275 , in the month ended September 5 , 1849 . The total number of vessels which cleared outwards in the eight months ended September 5 , 1850 , was 20 . 2 S 9 ; with tonnage 4 , 045 , 501 . In the corresponding periods of 1848 and 1849 , the numbers were as follows : —1848 , vessels , 16 , 577 ; tonnage , 3 325 , 641 ; 1849 , vessels , 18 , 459 ; tonnage , 3 , 711 , 897 .

      Health Of London During The Week. (From ...

      HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK . ( From the Registrar-General ' s Report . ) In the week ending last Saturday the deaths registered in the metropolitan districts were 839 . Taking , for comparison , the ten weeks of 1840-9 , it appears that the lowest number occurred in the corresponding week of 1815 , and was 786 ; the highest in that of 1849 , when it was 1075 ; the average of the t *» n weeks is 925 , which , if augmented in the ratio of the assumed increase of population , becomes 1009 . This last number exhibits a high average mortality for autumn , and places the present state of the public health in an advantageous point of view .

      The deaths from the epidemic class of diseases were last week 207 : in three previous years ( 1847-9 ) , taking the same week in each , the deaths from epidemics were respectively 327 , 448 , and 372 . But it is an important fact to be observed , that the present decrease of mortality is almost entirely confined to the juvenile part of the population ; in no corresponding week of the previous ten years have the deaths of young persons under fifteen years been so few as in last week , for the lowest number , which occurred in 1841 , was 390 , and the highest , which occurred in 1848 , was 531 . The following statement shows the deaths in three periods of life : — Average of Ten Laat Week . correspondingWeeks ( 184 U-0 ) . From birth to 15 years .. 365 .. .. 459 15 to 00 years .. .. 279 .. .. 297 S jk 60 and upwards .. .. 187 •> 168 W Whence it nppenrs , further , that whilst the rate of mory tality now prevailing approaches the average amongst ' persons of middle sis » c , it actually exceeds the average with Nf'xsigrnuriuns and others at an advanced period " of lie .

      ^ MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE * FHIDAY . The English Funds closed on Saturday at a decided improvement on the prices of the previous day , and the same buoyancy was maintained up to the middle of this week , causing such an advance as has not been witnessed for many months . On Monday morning the first quotation of Consols was 97 £ to 97 f , and the closing prices were an eighth higher . On Tuesday the market still continued brisk , Consols leaving off at 974 to 97 | , being exactly an advance of 1 per cent , from that day week . Next day the Funds showed another advance , the closing prices being 97 f to 97 $ . Yesterday , however , a slight check took place . The recent advance had brought sellers into the market , there being no great amount of faith that the advance would be permanent . The result was a decline of a quarter per cent . Consols opened yesterday at 97 f to 97 | , and closed at 97 | to 974 The extent of the fluctuations during the week has been—Consols , 974 to 9 7 f ; Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents ., 98 £ to 99 &; Exchequer Bills , 65 s . to 70 s . premium . The chief feature in the Foreign Stock Market during the last few days has been the extent of business in Peruvian Stock . The actual bargains yesterday were at 82 and 82 * for money , and 82 $ , 81 f , 82 | , 83 , and 82 | for the account . The Deferred were done at 38 , 371 , 38 ;| , 37 | , 38 . J , and 37 £ .
