New YORK THE THIRD CRY N THE World.
The N. Y. Herald of August llth, thus
speaks of the great American metropolis:
The labor of the Census Marshals in this
city, although not yet complete, indicates
pretty clearly that the population of the
metropolis at the present time is nine hun
| dr'd and fifty thousand-an increase of four
| hundred and thirty-four thousand four hun
dred and fifty three over the population as
shown by the census of 1850. This return
refers to the city proper only, comprised
within the limits of Manhattan Island III
we take the Metropolitan Police District
which is composed Of the counties of New
York, Kings, (Brooklyn,) Richmond and
/ "estchester all Of which may he said to
comprise New York, the population will
tarn ont TO be close upon n million and
half. Thus we shall count as the third city
on the globe in population, exclusive of Can
ton, Jeddo, and it may possibly be one OF
two other Asiatic cities. London, Paris and
New Y York take the lead in consecutive or
der over all the cities of the Christian world.
and the growth of New York has been more
rapid and wonderful than that of either of
the European capitals. We should not be
surprised if, in a quarter of century, we
should become the first city of the Christian
world.
