STATISTICS OF POPULATION.
The Memorial Diplomatique gives the following interesting account of the density of population in the great centres of humanity throughout the globe:
There are nine cities having a population exceeding one million souls, viz .: London, 3,251,000; Soochou, 2,000,000; Paris, 1,825,000; Pekin, 1,648,080: Yeddo, 1,554,000; Canton, 1,236,000; Constantinople, 1,075,000; Siang-tan, in the province of Hunan, 1,000,000; and Tchan-tchaon-foo, in the province of Tokion, 1,000,000. It will be seen, that, although London holds the first place, the Chinese Empire can still boast of possessing more populous cities than all the civilized States of the West. The number of cities possess ing a population ranging from above half a million up to a million, is twelve, viz .: New York, Vienna, Berlin, Hank-kaow, Philadelphia, St. Petersburg, Bombay, Calcutta, Fow-chow, Tchening, Bangkok, and Kiato. Twenty cities have a population of from 300,000 to 400,000 inhabitants; thirty-three of from 200,000 to 300,000, and ninety of from 100,000 to 200,000. Europe alone possesses one hundred and seventy-one cities contain ing more than 50,000 inhabitants, at the head of which stand London, Paris, Constanti nople, Vienna, Berlin, and St. Petersburg.
