Population of New Jersey in 1860.

The Philadelphia North American is " tax
ing the census" in advance. In series OF in
teresting articles it enters upon some elabo-
rate calculations which we think will prove to
be pretty near correct. 1t makes out the
population of the Union to be over 80, 900, 900,
aud of New Jersey nearly $4,000 Here is
what it says of New Jersey;
). g BY the census of 1850, the children in this
State from to Is years old were about l46,-
500, numbering / in every 8 rs of the white
inhabitants. The Numbers of such children
reported in 1853 and 1858, when compared
with each other and with those of 1850, and
properly carried out till now, result respect
lively in totals of GAS, 900 and 100000. The
vote in l84S was | in every 23 of all the
inhabitants. The votes cast in 1856 and 1859
were 99.400 and 10000. Computing the
former at l to 5 %, and the latter, as in a
mere state election, at to 6, the results for
1860 are $4,000 and 646.000 Averaging
these four conclusions we obtain $4,000 -
We think it quite safe to assign to New Jer-
Hsey an increase Of 32,per eent-and popula-
Htion of GAG. Geo. @A sASAtaA4 ~ 1870
OF all these four States, this is the only
one likely oretain fully and for many years
the rapid progress of the last two decades -
This prospect she owes to her lying, like a
huge market garden, between two immense
cities. New York and Philadelphia now con-
centrate in and Immediately around them near
ly 100000 Inhabitants, and in 1870 the
number ll,.he over 100000 So vast a
multitude of people will be constant stimu-
lus to her agricultural industry, and her posi-
ton will cause her to be the best cultivated
State in. the Union. Those great cities will
also pour much of their population ia to her
borders, and Camden Jersey City and Ho-
boken. may be expected to flourish greatly
during the next decade. These cities with
Patterson and Newark. have gained over 10, :
600 since 1850 1t is quite likely that New
jersey may add IS or 40 per cent to her num-
bers by the year 1870"

rsn- AZ about midnight Of Friday. a horri-
BILE murder was committed in New York
the victim being Custom House watthnan
named VIM La Tonrs, engaged in the store
houses around and in State street. The muir
der is involved in mystery. as nothing was Ia
ken from his person The unfortunate man
must have been felled to the ground with
some heavy bludgeon Of wood orion and kill
ed almost instantly, as his skull was nearly
cut in two. It appears that Mr.. Toms
was recently appointed q reundsnlan of the
night patrol Of the Custom House, aud his
office was to report remissaess of duty on the
part Of the patrolmen Being faithful in the
discharge OF this duty, he was compelled to
report several, who, in consequence were rep
rmanded or discharged. These persons be-
ing prompted by revenge, are now supposed
to have hired some miscreants to make way
with him. A couple Of arrests Of suspicious
characters were made by the police, but Cor
oner Jaekman, before whom the inquest took
place, did not think there was saiicent evi-
denee to, warrant their detention, and they
were accordingly discharged. 1+

CoMMUrArIoN FARE BETWEEN TRENToN AND

State will reduce the transit duty on each
passenger from its present rate (tea cents per
trip to six per cent on the sum received by
the railroads. Under the proposed conmata-
ton arrangement, it is believed that the reve-
nue. of the railroads and the State would be
largely augmented by the increased travel be-
tween these points. A bill is before the Leg

nsr Mary Fuller, a young girl imprisoned
in the OHIO Penitentiary for counterfeiting,
made her escape on the fst instant, from the
fifth story Of the prison, by passing out Of her
window and passing along the side Of the
building, upon the cornice or pater table,
about eighteen inches broad. Passing along
the front Of the building. at the immense
height of fifty OF sixty feet from the ground,
with nothing to hold to, and upon the projec-
ton scarcely visible from the ground, she
cached. at the distance of about forty feet
from her window, place where it was neces
sary for her to jump abont twelve feet to tie
roof Of the west wing. The leap was taken,
proved safe one, and the dauptless woman
next fastened to the corner Of the roof a rope
which she had made Of her bedding, grasped
it in her hands, and swinging from the roof
passed down on the outside Of the wall over
windows where other conyicts were sleeping,
and down to terra firma, where, at distance
OF forty-fyc feet below the roof, she alighted
ia the arms of a coti.e6NFate.
