BABYLON THE ANcIENT.-Tho fol-
lowing affords curious comparison of
past and present. IF we believe Herod-
otus and other ancient writers, Babylon
of old had within its walls 100 square
miles Of open space for exercise and rec.
reation. The city, which was a square
of 15 miles on each side, had SO streets.
each 150 feet broad, and 15 miles long.
They all ran in straigt lines, and crossed
at right angles, so as to cut the houses
into GIG squares of half milo ia the
side. No two houses touch each other,
or were without spaces between them !:
and the middle of each square was laid
out in gardens and pleasure ground.
Here then is an ancient city, buik near
~ 200 years ago, which may be fairly
held up to imitation, as aHordine III ID
stance of large ard liberal provision
for the exercise and recreation Of ia
inhabitants, and for insuring, bv free
external ventilation, tho utmost possibIe
purity Of atmosphere. What contrast i
does this mighty city OF old form WITH
modern LonGoni If wc estimate fhe
builded area of London al Is square
miles, and add 5 square miles for barks
and recent additions, we have = total ~
20 square miles, which forms but ! fffth
part Of the mere exercising ground of
the inhabitants Of ancient Babylon.

FREE TRApE.-Fsgaro, the little dra..
matte journal of San Francisco, has
brief article on this subject, in which it
puts the whole matter in a nutshell, In
this wise: "We do not think of any
civilized nation that conducts its COM
mercial affairs on the principle of free
trade ; and as large portion of our pub
lie revenue is derived from the customs,
it does not appear, in view of the enormi-
ty Of the public debt, that the present is
good time to dispense with that source.
of income. The great question now is.
the extinction Of the vast nationaI debt
incurred in the late war, and in addition
to this VIC must raise money for the cur
rent expenses of the Government, which
are every year necessarily increasing.
The means to accomplish that must be-
derived from very few sources, from
taxes upon the products and income Of
our own citizens and duties upon import
ed merchandise. IF the latter be remit
teds the former must be correspondinely
Increased, so that the abolition of custom
dues must unavoidably impose an addi-
tional burden of direct taxation upnn all
classes of people." !"
