between two and three hundred thousand readers of these papers are to be
found in the metropolis alone. While the great number of pressmen,

most flagrant breach of the day of rest."

In the mean time, the number of deaths in New-York is about _five
thousand_ annually: in London, about _thirty-three thousand_.
