We have not given any citjj; whose population is below 500,000, though there are many we could enumeiv ate which closely approach that figure., It will be seen that in the thirty-five cities tabulated below there are32,510;819 souls, or nearly the population of the British Isles, a fact which cannot be grasped in & moment by any ordinary intellect :
