ST. LoUIs.--We have often expressed
the opinion that the city of ST. Louis is
destined, from its position and other advan-
tages, to become the most important and
populous inland town in the world. From
facts connected with the progress Of the
city, which we find in late St. Louis pa
pers, it would seem that the conjecture is
net extravagant, nor likely to be long, com
nafssively speaking, IN being fulfilled. A
cersus Of the Town which has Just been
completed, shows present population Of
$4,000, against population in 1880 of
5000; in 1887, Of $4,000; in ls43, Of
$4,000; and in October last (when the
enumeration was taken by authority Of
the State) Of 34.420. The progress OF the
place in buildings, trade, manufactures,
the mechanic arts, and other sources and
evidences Of prosperity, has been in ra-
ito corresponding TO the increase Of the
Inhabitants. M 0. Bulletin.
