such q result. Thst there has been general oreaA
ing I'D of business firms and the withdrawal from
business Of many men who have heretofore pror''-
nently appeared in the Directory is true, anu iot
that reason aud other reasons, the entire LIST OF
names has been much shortened; but very ioT OF
these men have left NewYork, or rather its vlcini-
ty, but are new lying on thsir oar', as 1t were
awaiting the return Of opportunities FOR active en-
ployment. On the 1st OF May las, an unusual
number Of persons went into the suburbs 70 reside
for the purpose Of obtaining cheaper rents. Ihese,
of course, do rot appear il the Directory although
they remain for all business purposes ia the city.
From careful comparison Of the bills OF mortality
for the preaent year with similar period OF last
gear We Esd the number Of deaths has increased
in about the regular proportion with the annual IN
Of population tor the last ten years; 50 tna'
either the city must hsve been much more ua-
healthy this year than the preceding one, or the
population instead Ofha7ing diminished has stea1i
ly increased. But We do not plsce any great re-
lsnce upon the results obtained in csayassing tor
Directory where the great object is in ge.ting the
book out immediately. 1t is quits probable that
ten DAYS mole time given 10 The cauyassers would
not only have made up the 1900 names lacking
from last year but added from ten to fifteen
Thousand more to the list chiefly OF tie humber
glasses of population who are hurried over care'
lessly or altogether neglected by the gatherers OF
names.
IL is a difficult matter 10 ascertain with any de-
gree of accuracy, the population of this city. The
constantly incoming aud outgoing emigration and
fra eltnu nlat
mske the aggregate vary from day TO day by
thousands and tens Of thousands. The census oil
1868 was most shamefully botched Any person at
all acquainted with the city can point out the most
i,grant errors such as to render the returns alto
eeibeI uDtrustwortby. The population as then re-
turned was about $50, coo, when it was unquestion-
ably nearer 800, OOO Five years before, it was put
down at SIS 900, when it should have been at least
$50 600. Al the presert time the actual resident
population within the limits of the city is probably
about 900, 900. Brooklyn must have between
300 600 urd 400 900 inhabitants, and the adjacent
suburban population would swell the metropolitan
aggregate to 100000 Of actual or business resi-
dents in snd near the City of Nex-York.
