lime before us, statstisch Yaarbaek yoor het Ko-
nngrijk der Nedcrlandcn. Statistical Annuai OF The
Kingdom of the Netherlands, besides the other i'm
provements it exhibits, its ample pages supply the
most desirable latitude for the insertion Of tables
and NJ de Baumhauer takes advantage Of the quarto
form to present at the commencement OF the volume
resume of the movements of the population OF Hob
land during the quinquennial period from 1850 20
1854
The total increase Of population in Holland during
this period was 1872 .l62, or annual average OF
36,432-cqual to about one and quarter per cent
This rate of increase will appear considerable espe-
ciay if consider the density of population, which
is 100 TO the square kilometre in Holland while IN
France it is GO in the United Kingdom, SO and is
much lower in other countries of Europe, If we ex-
cept Belgium, Saxony, Lucca and Lombardy. 1t
seems, however, that the increase dimnshes as the
density of proportion increases, according to the
law of inverse proportion, which NJ. de Baumhauer
calculates in Cap. III of comparative demography-
Thus, the Increase of population in Holland which
was OO253 CT per cent? in the period, lsl5-I830,
descended successfully to 0236 in oolss
in 1910 and to Ool2l Tor II per cent? in 1856
1854.
We have merely leisure, however, at this moment
to glance cursorily this valuable work, and must
content ourselves for the present with the brief no.
tce we have given. In studying the social, indus
trial. and commercial progress of the kingdom of the
Netherlands during the past five years, this volume
will render invaluable assistance, as its facts and g-
ures are derived from official sources, and are ar
ranged and combined with judgment and skill

THE LAST BALTIMORE OUTRAGE.

The frightful atrocities of the murderous gangs
whose ''reign of terror has made Baltimore almost
a by-word and reproach wherever the English Ian
guage is spoken, have called forth, and are still call
ing FORTH from the press of this country the most
hearty and indignant condemnation. Within "a week
these atrocities have increased to such degree,
that the Baltimore American and Baltimore Patriot
not only shrink from appearing before the country
as the apologists of the desperate lawess portion of
their political associates but these journals have con-
fessed in so many words that their mobrued city is
all that we have described it to be. But these con
essions lack the honest manly ingredient of candor
for they are coupled with broad nmations that the
responsibility of the outrages which have 80 long
disgraced Baltimore should be equally shared by
both political parties of that city These intima-
TONS it should be remembered, made in the
very face of last Tuesdays bloody work OF that
