INCREASED PoPULATIoN.-The increase
in the total vote Of this city at the last cleo
lion 10 over 5000 when at the election of 1850
few over $500 votes were polled, shows
that either large number of illegal votes
were cast here or that the population OF the
city has considerably increased since 1851,
and may now be reckoned at at least l3:OOO
souls. The increase in the number Of houses
and the number of children attending the
schools of the city strongly indicate raj
idly growing population.
