Population and Wealth Of the Country.
The New York Herald publishes a
table Of the population and wealth Of the
United States in 1855, which puts down
the total population. 27,l14,2s7, and the
total wealth $685., 093, 1872. The popu.
lation in 1850 was 23,323,714, and the
wealth $6,024,666,es6. The population
Of the Western States increases nearly
Is rapid as that Of California, whilst that
of the territories runs far ahead of that
auriferous region. The South Western
slave holding States have increased in
population and wealth nearly twice as
rapidly - the New England States. The
relative increase Of wealth in five years
is double that Of population. - :

Lsthe Prince Of Algiers Heir to the
French Emp;re.-This is question start
ed by the New York Post, which states
that the three most considerable Of the
continental powers Of Europe, exclusive
Of France, sometime since settled that
question for themselves. They determin.
ed, four years ago, that no male descendent
Of Louis Napoleon should be regarded as
the heir.apparent Of his crown. The en-
Pire, according to this arrangement, was
to be Louis Napoleon's only for life; when
he died Russia, Austria and Prussia
pledged their word to each other to
restore the legitimate heir of the throne, /"
and to recognize no other. The Poa
however, is Of opinion that Louis Ma
poleon will undoubtedly exert himself to
have these pledges cancelled, now that
peace is about to be proclaimed. ..i

Gold and Silver.

The vast quantities Of gold thrown in.
to use in Europe and America by the
mines of Australia and California, have
had the effect of revolutionizing the cur
rency of both continents. Silver is no
longer the standard, and is going out of
use to a great extent in consequence of
the abundance of gold. The question,
what becomes of the silver, is not so
difficult of solution as it seems. 1t is the
standard of value in the vast empires Of
India and China, with which Europe and
America maintain so large a commercial
intercourse. In propotion, therefore as
gold currency increases in Europe and the
United States, the silver finds its way east.
ward, to supply the Indian and Chinese
markets. During the year 1855 the ex-
port of the precious metals from Great
Britain to the East, was Es4s, 273 in gold ;
f5,669,ss9 in silver; total, f7,35e, 16l.
Here is near thirty one millions Of dollars
worth of silver taken from the currency
of the civilized world and thrown into the
Oriental empires. Of the amount e.
97O, 1869, or some twenty-three and half
millions of dollars went to India, and the
