Yesterday forenoon, while in Broadway, we witnessed another instance of the impropriety of suffering Hogs to run at large in our streets. A highly respectable and most worthy young lady, was literally run down by a large Hog that was pursued by a dog. In her fall, her breast struck the curb stone, and she was considerably injured. After she had partially recovered, the gentleman at whose store she had made some purchases, kindly conveyed her to her father's house in a carriage. The reader may easily imagine the distressing effect produced on the mind of a fond parent, at the sight of a darling child, whose pale cheeks plainly indicated her situation. --> _What would not the citizens of Boston say of their Police, if Hogs were permitted to run loose in the streets_? _Columbian Centinel,_ Boston [1817]. * * * * * English blunders about America in 1802. _From the_ (Newyork) EVENING POST. SPECIMENS _of the_ IGNORANCE _and_ BLUNDERS _of_ English Geographers, Tourists, _&c. &c. with respect to_ AMERICA. THE Rev. R. Turner, who has published a book called Classical Geography, gives the following account of the cities of Philadelphia and Newyork. "Philadelphia, (says he) is the finest and _best situated_ city in America, containing _thirty thousand_ houses and one hundred and twenty thousand inhabitants, who are mostly quakers!!!"--"Newyork contains three thousand houses and twelve thousand inhabitants!" Another book, intitled Guthrie's improved Geography, after setting forth in the preface that their (the Editors) relation of America, will be found both satisfactory and complete, as they have not only carefully examined the works of the celebrated Morse, but likewise applied to several other authentic sources, which have enabled them to give the best information in the most satisfactory manner, states that "the city of Newyork contains five thousand inhabitants, chiefly of Dutch extraction." Here is pretty strong evidence of the diligence of these London bookmakers, as to applying to the most authentic sources of information, as they profess to have done. An imposition of this kind in any American publication, would afford a fine opportunity for an English Reviewer to rail against our national honesty. The very last edition of Guthrie's original work, describing the river Hudson, states that this river is navigable to Albany, which is "_six hundred miles from Newyork_."
