Some of the best warerooms and salesrooms

subterranean business, and thousands of
people, too, live IN the first and second

THE ARMIES OF EURopE.-A late Lon
don letter says: "We have very good au-
thonty for stating that in 1851 there were
no fewer than 2,783, 1888 men under arms
in Europe as regular soldiers. and if to this
number be added the various corps of vol
gale would swell up to 5000, ,Ooo-the pop
uIation of Europe was then estimated at
227, ,403, 900. According to the usual ratio
OF calculation, one person out of every twen-
ty of the adult and able population of Eu-
rope was at that time soldier. Besides
this immense army,there was an aggregate
feet Of 2, 1853 vessels, carrying A. 105 guns,
and manned by at tleast 10000 seamen.
We cannot compare these figures with any
previous statements, but We feel warranted
in asserting that never since the commence
ment of the peace movement, did the face
Of Europe present so belligerent an appear
ance."
