The World Of London.

The metropolis of the British Empire,
the largest city the world ever saw,
covers, within fifteen miles radius OF
Charing Gross, nearly 700 square miles,
and numbers within these boundaries
1000, 600 of inhabitants. 1t comprises
1000, 900 foreigners from every region
of the globe. 1t contains more jews
than the whole of Palestine, more Roman
Catholics than Rome itself, more Irish
than Dublin. more sIcotchmen than
Edinburgh. The port of London has
every day on its waters 600 ships and
5000 sailors. Upward of 120 persons
are added to the population daily, or
$1,000 yearly, birth taking place every
five minutes, and death every eight
minutes. On an average twenty-eight
miles of streets are opened and 5000
houses built every year. In its postal
districts there is yearly delivery of
238, ZOO, 900 OF letters. On the police
register there are the names of 100, ,000
habitual criminals, increasing by many
thousands every year. More than one
third of all the crime of the country Is
committed in London, or at least brought
10 ngnb tnere. Inere are aS ulaiiy UeeT
shops and gin palaces as would, if their
fronts were placed side by side, reach
from Charing Cross to Portsmouth, a
distance of seventy three miles, and
3S, 900 drlnkards are annually brought
before its magistrates. The shops open
on Sundays would form streets sixty
miles long. It is estimated that there
are above 100000 of the people
who are practically heathen, wholly
neglecting the ordinances of religion.
At least 900 additional churches and
chapels would be required for the wants
of the people.-Leis,re Hours.
