OF THE POPULATION OF LONDON:

London is less populous, for its extent, than m►ny other
great cities: The streets are wider, and the inhabltants of
every class, below the highest rank, enjoy more room fur
themselves and families than is usual for the same classes in
.foreign countries; not only the merchant, the wealthy
trader, and persons in liberal employments, occupy each an
entire house, but most shopkeepers of the middling class, and.
sonic even of the lowest, hare their houses to themselves; al-,
_though many let out part of tbeni to lodgers : all the,ie
circumstances it is plain, that a less number of people is spread
over a given space in. London, than in most foreign cities.
From the report on the population of Gfeat Britain, pub-
tithed on the authority Of-an Act pastid in the 51#st (leo. 111.
London, including the suburbs, appears to contain 1,009,546'
inhabitants ; but we shall snb-divide this total in a more in-
telligible form.

MEANS OF INTELLECTUAL IMPROVEMENT.
The following summary will, in some measure, stew that
moie has been done within the hills of mortality, with a view
to benefit and improve the inhabitants, than in any other
par t of the kingdom.
There are 407 places of public worship.
40,5 u Seminaries fur Education, including 237 parish charity
schools.

8 Societies fur the express purpose of promoting good
morals.
• 12 Societies for promoting the learned, the useful, and the
polite arts.
132 Asylums, and Alms houses, for the helpless and indi-
gent, including the Philanthropic Society for reclaiming cri-
minal children.
$0 Hospitals and Dispensatories for sick and lame, and for
delivering poor pregnant women.
700 Friendly or Benefit Societies and institutions for ahls-
rit4ble and humane imposes.
There are also about thirty institutions for teaching some
thousands of poor children the arts of reading, writing, and
arithmetic, on the plans introduced by Mr. Josdph Lancaster
and the Res-. Dr. Bell.
Which several institutions, including the poor's rate, are
supported at the ainiost incredible cost of one million per
annum.

We are surprised to observe how well the maxim'
of mutt= in patio is exemplified in this truly
domestic volinne. With the exception of the
Table of the Fares for Hackney Coaches, which
we believe, not perfectly 111 contonnil with
the existing regulations, we have not deteeted one
erroneous statement-iZa sufficient recommenda-
tion, it recommendation could he Wanting, to this

THE COLONIES.

NOVA SCOTIA.

\Ve received in the course of Saturday after-

'noon, Letters and Pitpers from IlvitishNorth
rica, to the 27th ultimo, and we are sorry they
infOint ris, that the Ainetichns hue renewing their

e ticinichnieuts, and are endeavouring again to
establish thernSelves iu The Fisheries on the shores
of these Provinces, and that they are greatly en-
couraged in these attempts'hy the ineffective mea-
sures which have hitherto been adopted respect-
•ing them. This is a sujvct upon which our sen-

timenta are well knnken, but we cannot too often
express our regret at the apathy and indifference
‘vhich seem' still to prevail, and we must lament

that his Majesty's Ministers have not, by their
firmness, and a steady adherence to the maritime
policy of our ancestors, at least secured to our
lellois:-subjects in British North America that

t%clusive light of fishing on their own shores

which is conceded to the subjects of every coon-
try, by established u,age or the Law of Nations
The arrival of every packet brings to us additional
Proofs of the erroneous policy which has been
pursued in this respect, and we fear that the time
is passing quickly away in which it will be in the
power of the British Government to counteract
its evil effects—the mischief will soon have spread
too widely, to admit of remedy ; and as every day
'gives strength and consistency to the resources of
the United States, so in proportion decreases the
ability of Great Britain to command their respect,
and to assert and maintain the rights of her sub-
jects against the encroaching and domineering
spirit of the Americans. It is useless to recur to
the past, except to enable us to act..more.wisely
in future, and therefore we shall abstain from
again remarking on the favourable opportunity
which presented itself at the close of the late
American war to secure these privilegeSwhich
peculiarly are our own, and we. shall only express
our hope that his Majesty's Ministers will not
tamely submit to see theni,,wrested froM us by
American fraud and impudence.'
Early in the last year, a representation on the
subject of the Fisheries was made by the. Legisla.;'
Live Council and .1-lonse'of Assembly of the Pro-
vince of Nova Scotia to the Lieutenant Governor
of that Province. It was founded oil smtements
verified by affidavits of most respectairle persons,-
and fully detailed numerous instances of Ajueriean.

getic manner, pointed out the evil cons‘equence's

which would ariie
__Qom such practices Icing per-

mined
,to pass unnoticed, and solicited the in-.
terference of his Excellency the Governor, who,
we ❑nderstand, most readily acceded to the wishes
of the Legislature of the Province, and took every
measure in leis power to suppress an evil which it
was evident must ultimately destroy one of the
most lucrative branches of the trade of this in-
teresting Colony—a trade of the highest im-
portance to Great Britain, not only in a commer-
cial, but a national point of view, as it is the
source whence we derive a numerous and hardy
race of seamen, who have on all occasions dis-
tinguished themselves in the service of their coun-
try. This assertion, however, has been so often
made, that we shall merely allude to one instance,
amongst many which might be adduced, to.shew

the spirited and persevet ing conduct of the Nova
Scotia Fishermen. We refer to the officers and
crew of the Liverpool Packet Privateer, all of
whom were fisher Men, and who in that small
schooner, by their activity and courage, took
more prizes, after the breaking out of hostilities
with the United States, than the squadron on the
station. B,:t we have also often heard with
pleasure. Officers of his Majesty's Navy bear
willing testimony to the seaman-like conduct of
such of their men as bad been engaged• in the
Fisheries of Nova Scotia. That such men should
bi protected in the enjoyment of their rights as
British subjects, justice demands ; but more effi-
cient measures must be adopted to remove the
grievance of which they have most properly com-
plained, and to enforce the observance of those
instructions which it is said have been sent out,
for the American vessels have this year flocked in
greater numbers than ever to the shores and bar-
hours of British North America for the purpose
of fishing, and if an immediate check is not given
to them, it is certain that his Majes:ty's subjects
in these Colonies must abandon the occupation of
f►ohing, upon which they principally dej end for
subsistence. Even the American fishermen them-
selves have plainly declared their opinion upon

this point, and have distinctly asserted, that. if
the present system is not changed, the fishing
" business will not last above a year or two more,
beforeTHEY (the Americans) will overdo the bu-
" siness, as they always do every thing else, when-
"-ever they hear that there is any thing toe made.'
We give their own words, as they folly corroborate
.our views upon the subject. All the information
which we have collected front different quarters
concurs in stating, that the American fishermen
Who are engaged in the fishing this season on the
Labradore Coast, declare they will return in
greater numbers in the next, as they find themselves
still unmolested and unopposed by authority ;. and
they argue, most justly, that if it was the intention
of the British Government to prevent them, some
of his Majesty's cruizers would be stationed on
these Coasts to warn them off, and until that is
done they conceive that they have a right to resort
there for the purpose of fishing. For our parts,
tve arc surprized that this measure has not been
adopted, for certainly it was clearly understood
in the last Parliament that the Americans were not
to come to fish within three
,leagues of the Coasts
of the King's Provinces, and for the accuracy of
our recollection upon the subject, we refer to Sir
JOHN NEWPORT, Mr. M. 'A: 'TAYLOR, and Mr.
LISTER, and the other Members. who interested
themselves' upon it, and in particular we refer to
Lord CASTLEREAGH'S answer to that effect, when
the question was put to him in the- House of
CoMmons by Sir JOHN NEWPORT. After such an
assertion, from such a goat ter, and,in such a place,
the Colonists surely had every reason to expect
that the Administration would have acted in con •
fortuity to it, and have sent out a sufficient force
to protect these fisheries.
