Calcutta, Sept. 8.
From an article which we find in late
American paper, it would appear that the
good folks Of N. York are really very thirsty
souls. The population OF that city is estl-
mated at about ll5,ooo individuals, who re-
quire, in order to wet their clay, 100 ia
yerns! This gives one to about every If
houses, and the sum of 5000 dollars per an
mum, is reckoned very moderate estimate
of what is sold on anaverage by every one.
Welding to,al CT g.; 90 900 dollars, as the
annual tavern expenses OF the inhabitants.
Dividing this again among every man, wo-
man and child, the expenditure Of each is a.
bout IA dollars per annum, or il the number
of adults be taken at %, $50, eachshaS to pay
296 dollars annually. This seems Justly to
have been pronounced an enormous tax
without benefit, and some sober citizens
attempted TO diminish the number OF those
convenient establishments. To effect this,
a meeting of the corporation was assembled
on the 18th March lat, and resolution was
proposed, advising the mayor not to grant
more than 1900 hundred tavern Licenses for
the year ensuing. The resolution was how
ever sharply and successfully opposed by
the Recorder aud Doctor, (tbe latter a
Brunonian, no doubt, who reckoned it an
improper interference on the part of those
who were not sufficiently acquainted with
the Detail Of the circumstances 1t was "a
greed, nevertheless. to petition the Legisla-
ture 10 restrict the Mayor within certain
number and the writer Of the article, from
which we gain the information recommends
it TO the society for preventing pauperism.
and to other benevolent societies, &c. in n.
York, TO second the effort that had been made
TO restrain an alarming and increasing evil.
