London, says Henry Mayhew. may bo safely
asserted .to • be’the most densely populated city
In all the world: ‘containing one fourth more
people than Pekin, and two-thirds more than
Ports—more than twicc-as many as Constanti
nople—four limes os many as St. Petersburg
five times as many as Vienna, or New’York. or
Madrid —nearly seven times os*many as Berlin
eight times as many as Amsterdam—nine
times as many as Rome—fifteen times as many
os Copenhagen—and seventeen times ns many
as Stockholm. 1 It covers on area of 122 square
miles in extent, or 70,002* statute acres! and
contains 327,391 houses. Annually 4 000 new
nousea ore in erection for Upwards of 40-000
new comers. The continuous line of buildings
stretching from Holloway to Camberwell is said
to bo twelvemllea long. It is computed if the
buildings were set in a row. they would reach
across the whole of England and Franco, from
York to the Pyrenees. Lond6n has 10.500 dis
tinct s'rceis, squares, circuses, crescents, terra
ces vijlqs. rows, buildings, places, lancs.conrts,
alloys, mews, yards, rents. The pa v od stmts
of London, according to a return published in
1850- number over 6.000, a*»d cxc(ed‘2,oop
miles in length : the cost nl this paved reading
wns fourteen millions, and tjie repairs cost £l,
800 000 per anriitui. London contain* 1.000
miles of pas pipes, with a capital of nearly
£4.000,000 spent in the preparation of gas-
The cost of pas lighting (S half a million. It
has 360.000 lights; and 13,000.000 cubic feet
or pa 8 ate burnt bvery night. Last year along
these streets the enormous quantity of upwards
of eighty millions of gallons of water rushed
for the supply of the inhabitants, being nearly
double what It was in 1845. Mr- Mayhew
says. If ihc entire people of the capital 'were t »
be drawn up in marching order, two and two.
the length of the groat arm}' of Londoners
would be no less than 070 miles, and, suppos
ing, them to move at the rate of three miles an
houi% it would require more than nine days and
nine nights for the average population to pass
by.' -To accommodate this crowd 125,000 ve
hicles pass through the thoroughfares in the
course of twclvphobra; 3,fioo.cahs, 1.000 om
nibiisea, lO.ftflO private and job carriages and
carts ply daily in the streets; 3,000 convey
ances enter the metropolis dally from tho sur
rounding country.
Speaking generally, Tennyson tells us,
“Every minute dies a man,
Every minute one Is bom.”
In London, Mr. Mnyhew calculates ICO pro
pic die daily, a baby in born every five minutes.
The number of persons, says the Registrar
General, who dK'd.ip iB6O, in 110 public insti
tutions. such as workhouses .and hospitals, was
10.381. It is really’shocking to think, and n

•Thames every year. In the first week of the

nntlse Iwofadts the deaths from actual in*
temperance bear bur a small pioportion lo the
deaths induced by the immoderate use of intox
icating liquors; nnd of the 500 drowned, by far
the largest class, we have every reason to be

A meeting has just been held of the unem

which it wns s-n-id that their number—(hough
wry probably (hero may Iks some exaggeration
here—is 35 000 If ihcsc men arc married nnd
have families, we"got a further idea of the deep
distress in this wealthy and luxurious Capital
—this capital where the gold of Australia, the
jewels of 3olconda, (he silks nnd spices of the
East, come for sale, and ore lavished ns freely
on the most questionable purposes and persons
ns on the noblest specimens of humanity, and
Ihe most glorious objects •or which.men care to
live. Then think of the Inmates of the lunatic
nfiylums, and tbepoorhonsea. and the hospitals.
In most cases Rent there os the result* of (heir
own Ignorance or Imprudence. Add to these
our prison population, ami onr criminal classes,
nnd our prostitutes,and what a picture we get
of the Night Side of London, of the classes
Whose existence Is a reproach or a curse. In
London, one man in every nine belongs to the
criminal doss.

development of moral principle. Almost 20,-

tho number of ragged children’ls nearly 30,.-

is estimated as high as 150.000. It appears
from a report by Mr.' Goderich, officer of health
in the nn;..shof Kensington, that in a place
Called the Potteries, there nro 1.147 human be

of less than nine acres,'tho present number of

we shall not wonder that the public houses,

Qmelly sending olio nrelty stiff - invoice of the

he attended the sale, nnd bid readily nt pre

stood up manfully and bought. While old

During the afternoon, a pretty large holder,
who hud always been ready to buy when he saw

asked the rate of coffee.

Tlio Extent of Rebellion in Indio,
There can be little doubt that tho outbreak
in India has cxicnded 10 the Mohammedan
population as well as the Indian army. The
following is a corrected narrative of tho recent
jccurrcnces, from o disinterested source:—
“ The plan is lo murder tiro Europeans ond
Christians, and to restore the ancient Mnhom
mednn empire. All the plans were well laid,
and the object must imvo been attained if it
had not been for the reoipitency of the 21st
Native Regiment. The revolution was to have
begun in Calcutta, and noi in Delhi. The 2d
Regiment of Grenadiers was to Imve taken pos
session of iho fort in Calcutta, and at (he same
time tlie 34th Native Regiment was to have
murdered all ilie Europeans residing iii Bar
rack pore, and afterwards made the best of its
way to-Oolculta.
The Native Artillery at Dondum was to have
filed iu the same way, and to Imvo assisted
ic Second Regiment of Grenadiers in sinking
the ships in the Jloohly bytmeans of the guns
of the fort. Tho ships were ta be’sunk in or
der that no Europeans might bo able to escape.
The body guard df the Governor-General (vete
rans taken from Ihc'didercnt cavalry regiments)
was to have murdered nil the persons in.the
service of Government. The Mohammedans in
tho bazaar were to have, destroyed the railroad
and telegraph. The 19th Rcgiminb, after all
tho Europeans had been put to death, was to
march towards'tho North; murdering and plun
dering its it went. As has been .said, the pre
cipitancy of the 21st Regiment'caused the fail
ure of the whole’scheme.
“ Six men belonging to the 2d Regiment of
Grenadiers were arrested, but instead of being
