1t will be noticed that previous to the census Of
$50, the number of inhabitants in Philadelphia
exceeded that of New York, but that since that
period, the progress OF New York has been much
been greatly benefited by the internal improve
ments in their respective States since $780, but the
decided advantages which New York possesses,
for foreign and domestic commerce, have placed
her ahead, not only of Philadelphia, but of all
other American cities.
The six lower wards contain a population, ac-
cording to the present census, of AT In 1880,
the same wards contained. 70, l72-thus showing
that the older part of the city, viz. below Canal
s,reet-hss increased about fifty per cent in popu-
lstion within the last twenty years. The number
of vacant building lots in those six wards, in
1881, was 3s5, and in ell the osAer wards below
Fourteenth street, at the same time, the number
of vacant or unoccupied building lots was 5,967.
The increase OF population in the lower wards has,
therefore, been very great in proportion to the
dwelling houses erected within twenty years. The
population Of the city, above Canal street, In 1881,
was I29 ,4l7-it lie now 40s, APP.
The comparative increase of the city, in popu-
lation and wealth, since 1910, is shown by the

The above official valuations Of real and per-
sonal essate convey, il is true, bat an inadeqate
idea Of the wealth Of the city, but these statements
are sufficient TO show the astonishing progress OF
thisfE commercial metropolis during the present
half century, and particularly within the last
twenty years. Nothing is wanting but a good
administration Of the municipal government, es-
pecially in keeping down the city expenditures,
and thus preventing accumulation Of taxes, to
make this city, within the next quarter OF cen
fury, the greatest commercial mart, as IL is already
one Of the most Populous ciIes on the globe.

TUX SCARCITY or SILVER CorS.-we publish. in
another part Of this days paper two articles ex-
tracted from the London press. on the subject Of
the scarcity Of silver coin in the world The with
drawing Of that metal from circulation has been
going on rapidly in the United States for sometime
past. Mexican dollars are at a premium Of Eve per
cent; and the brokers in Wall street charge a sh-
ling premium on FIVE dollars worth. Shopkeepers
and traders are, in consequence. much incommoded
in their business. The English papers attemp, to
accopot for the scarcity which exists in the old
world, az well as in the new, Of silver currency,
by the large quantity which has gone to California.

liors n pounds sterling has been withdraw from
circulation IN Holland, and the demand that hiss
arisen for it in consequence of the threatening

Of stipg all sectional combinations either before

The administration has no fooihold in depending
upon the dislocated whig party-it has the Grmest
footing in the Union party, North and South.
That party has got to be organized; but the ele-
ments of Northern notification and Southern Sc
cesson early indicate its necessity. And what
ever may be the result to Presidential candidates.

Mr. Fillmore nay be assured that he, or his
administration, can gain nothing by an alliance
with Seward or his tribe of higher law politicians.
Under the reaction which took place IN public
opinion during the recess Of Congress, their in
Huence has dwindled down to nothing, and in
attempting to coalesce with his administration,
they are only trying to grasp at something 10 keep
them from sinking. The better way would be to

The Population and Growth OF the city Of

BY the statement we published on the 18th inst,
il appears that TIE population of this city, accord

of the city, al that time, 3l2 $685. but there

ward, which would have reduced the total of the
city 10 less than 304, 600. The actual increase Of
the city, therefore, in the last ten years, is about
| 2l4,0CO, or over sky per cent-an immense in.
crease on large a population. The increase
of the city of London and suburbs, in the ter
years from 1881 TO IS4l, was little over twenty
/ per cent.
For the purpose of comparison, we give the popu
lation of the principal European capitals and com
mercial cities, by which it will be seen that New
York, without including Brooklyn, &c, outnum
bers all the cities of Europe. except two or three
viz: London, Paris, and perhaps Constantine pie
With regard to the latter-the capital of the Tur
hish enpire-the number of its inhabitants is pro
badly overrated-there being no other authority
than vague estimates, which vary from 800, 900 Il
100000. MeCulloch says, the population is be
