STATISTICS OF THE UNITED STATES.—The follow-
ing statistics were prepared in the United States Census
Bureau, Department of the Interior, and are taken from
a report in reference to the area, population, and density
of population of the United States :—The land and
water surfaces of the United States are equal to
3,250,000 square miles—land 3,010,370, water about
240,000 square miles. Tho States embrace 1,804,351
square miles of landed surface, and the Territories
1,206,019 miles, as exhibited by the eighth census of
1860 The number of inhabitants in the United States
returned in 1860 was 31,443,321—in the states 31,148,046,
and 295,275 in the territories—thus showing an average
of seventeen inhabitants to each square mile in the states,
while in the territories there are four square miles to each
inhabitant, and exclusive of the district of Columbia the ter-
ritorial area would represent five and one-fifth square miles
to each inhabitant. In 1860 Massachusetts had 157, Rhode
Island 133, New York 82, and Pennsylvania 62 inhabitauta
to the 'finale mile, which rate applied to the United
States would give 472,000,000 in Massachusetts,loo,ooo,ooo
in Rhode Island, 246,000,000 in New York, and 189,000,000
in Pennsylvania. Belgium, England and Wales, and France
in 1855 had 397,307, and 176 inhabitants to the square mile
respectively. If the United States was as densely popu-
lated as France our population would number 528 ,000,000,
or if populated as densely as England and Wales,
924,000,000 ; and if according to Belgium's density of popu-
lation (397 to the square mile). the United States would
contain 1,195,000,000, wbich is 110,086,000 more than the
atire population of the world in lrit4o.
