NEW YoRK EATING HousEs.-A late number
Of the journal of Commerce contains some very
Il interesting statistics concerning the eating
| houses of the city. 1t is estimated that there
are not less than ten establishments of this
character in the lower wards Of that city, which
feed, on an average, 1000 persons daily. The
two largest supply daily 1000 persons One Of
them-Petit & Crook s-used, in the month of
July, the following articles: 1882 pounds Of
meat 1,4s5 pounds of fish 1853 bushels of pota-
toes; 2,76O loaves Of bread; 6,472 quarts Of
milk; 1855 pounds Of sugar; and 1886 pounds
| Of butter. This seems almost incredible, and
did it not come from so reliable u source, we
n should be inclined to diseredit it altogether.
From the above statement, the average daily
consumption for the hot month Of July, was
3s2 pounds Of meat; 4s pounds Of hsh; bushels
Of potatoes; SO loaves of bread; 209 quarts Of
milk; 95 pounds Of sugar; and 45 pounds OF
butter Ii, to some extent, illustrates another
matter of some interest, which is the difference
in the feed Of the animal man in different
| parts Of the, country. In the consumption OF
| 3S2 pounds Of meat and 4S pounds of fish, only 3
bushels Of potatoes and 80 loaves Of bread were
used We will venture to assert that in this
city, for an equal consumption Of meat and fish,
: at least four times the quantity of potatoes and
7 bread are called into requisition.
a ARRIVAL OF ENGLISH GIPsIEs AT NEW YORK.
The New York papers notice the arrival Of three
\ families of English Gipsies at that city. They
consist of twenty seven persons, all related tc
! each other by blood or marriage.
Z This'is all that was needed to complete our
Al stock Of foreigners. We have had paupers from
Ireland Jail birds from Germany, galley slaves
from France, lazzaroni from Italy, but this last
! arrival puts on the finishing touch. We suppose
Il that they will soon declare their intention te
Y become citizens, Greeley, in particular, seems
to 20 into ecstacies over them in an article Of
: column in length.
