In 1890 the population of Boston was II 900, and
that of New York, 5000. In 1850, Boston, 1868 !;
New York, SIS, SAL In each city census has re-
Gently been taken and the result, it is said, will be
as follows Boston, 10000; New York, 100000.
Il these figures are correct, nearly so, they will
show the enormous increase in New York of 1885,
400 people in five years $4,000 more than the en-
tire population of Boston, and 81 900 more than the
increase of New York from 1845 10 $780, which was
l44OOO viz from 81, 900 to 900. Beside this
great superiority of New York within municipal limits,
has larger suburban population than Boston, as
Brooklyn, alone, has more people than the whole vi
entity Of Boston, comprising Cambridge, Charlestown,
Chelsea, ROxbury, &c. A great many large villages
are within few miles of New York. and they are
mainly inhabited by people employed in the city
The places increasing at greater rate even than
New York itself. Brooklyn fifteen years ago held
out $4,000 people now nearly 100000, or $4,000
more than the city of Boston. Williamsburg, in its
corporate limits, in 1853, had $4,000 souls.
The population of New York, as lately ascertained
places that CITY in the front rank of cities in the civ
iGzei globe London and Paris, alone, surpass it in
numbers In another decade two, New York
will overtake Paris, and have only the single rival
London the mistress of the world, to compete with
Boston will be lost sight of even more than now,

From the London papers received by the steamer
Asia, we learn that, by extraordinary mistake
or oversight of Mr. Gladstone, hen he prepared the
revision Of the English tariff in 1853 great number
of important articles, such tobacco, tea sugar,
timber, and wine, were really exempted from duty
by being omitted certain schedules. referred to in
the act There was no intention, of course, to make
these articles Free and the thing done in the
hurry of legislative business. If this be so, the du-
ties on these articles will be recoverable. The Lon"
don News says:
"To some extent the mischief has been remedied
by the act of the present session, which imposes spe-
cited duties on tea coffee and sugar; but this does
not give validity to the customs collected from the
Sth of August, 1854, to the 21st of April 1885, when
the last act came into operation, and wine, tobacco
and timber still remain subject to the provisions or
non-provisons of the tariff of 1854: 1t is said thai
the government have consulted the lawocers OF the
Crown-with what precise result we do not know
but there u.s. doubtless, sufficient anxiety to save
former colleague from tn Q humiliation which would
follow any attempt to rectfy the error by retrospect
tive legislation.
