NEW YORK'S ALIENS.
The oatent of New York's alien problem is strikingly shown in an article in an American magazine by Briga-dier-General Bingham, city Police Commissioner.

Besides 1,000,000 Hebrews, mostly from Russia, there are to-day in New York 500,000 Italians, from 125,000 to 150,000 Hungarians, 100,000 Austrians, 150,000 Germans, 75,000 Bohemians, 00,000 non-Hebraic Poles, 40,000 Slovaks, • 50,000 Greeks, 25,000 Armenians and Syrians, 10,000 Chinese, and several thousands of Frenchmen, Bulgarians, Hollanders and natives of Balkan States.
