New York City.—The London Times speaks of New York City as follows:

The city is certainly the most remarkable result of wealth and enterprise which the world has known. In an incredibly short space of time it has risen from the rank of a tenth-rate town to the third city in the world in population and riches. In the last ten years the larger part has been entirely rebuilt; marble and freestone edifices of great size, beauty and costliness have been substituted for the old brick houses: Broadway has been extended for miles: a vast park of nearly eight hundred acres is being laid out in what will be, before long, the center of the city; dwelling houses have been built by thousands, far exceeding in elegance and comfort the average dwellings of Londoners; and New York with its suburbs, now reckoning more than a million of inhabitants, may look forward to being, the next generation, not only the largest, but perhaps the most beautiful city in the world. All this has been done by private enterprise, and if the administration of the city had been in honest hands the result would have been far more extraordinary.
