ROme's Population.


From the London Pail Mall Gazette.
While waiting for the general census,
which will be compiled at the end of this
century, l find from figures taken from
the Office of Statistics that the population
of Rome has turned the half million, the
exact number being 50012S. These figures
are really astonishing when one considers
that on the entrance of the Italian troops
on Sept. 20, 1870, the population was only
226, 022 so that in twenty-eight years 1t has
more than doubled, the augmentation be-
ing ga, 1906
Looking back it may be noted that in
1870 the population had already greatly
increased since the Napoleonic invasion of
1912, when it had fallen to 117,SS2. But that
was not the lowest level 1t had reached
for in 1927, after the siege and sack of the
Eternal City by the troops of Charles ",
there were only 5000 people left. In this
period the very reduced numbers were,
of course, mostly due to political events
but even during the splendid Ponuhcate
of Leo X, (dedicD, between 1913 and 1921
the population varied between 10000 and
40, 600. The lowest figure ever reached
since the fall of the Roman Empire was
in 1877 on the return of the Popes from
Avignon. when Rome was reduced almost
10 a village, having only 1900 inhabitants,
aud therefore scarcely exceeding the pop
ulation of the days of Romulus, at whose
death there were loco Romans. In any
case, what a fall from the period OF her
real greatness, when, at the end of the
republic, she could boast. according TO the
fantastic estimate If Nossio, of from eight
to fourteen millions, or. putting it lower
according to Hook. Of 2.265.000!
