 The following statistics have been compiled with as much 
 care and accuracy as the limited time allowed would admit. 
 Even when not obtained from official sources, they are be- 
 lieved to be nearly, if not perfectly, correct. 
 
 As in some instances, it is designed to show the advanta- 
 ges possessed by Boston, as compared with those of other 
 cities, great pains has been taken to make it as impartial as 
 possible, and to give to those cities the benefit of prospective 
 improvements in the way of shortening their lines of commu- 
 nication with the Canadas and the West. 
 
 Much labor has been bestowed upon the accompanying 
 map, to make it as accurate as the best available sources of 
 information would admit. No doubt errors and omissions 
 may be found on it ; but it is believed they are not of a char- 
 acter to affect its general correctness, or usefulness, for the 
 purposes of the present celebration. 
 
 Free use has been made of an article on " Boston as a 
 Commercial Metropolis in 1850," by E. H. Derby, Esq., and 
 originally published in Hunt's Merchants Magazine for No- 
 vember, 1850. 
 
 At the close of the pamphlet, important conclusions are 
 drawn from the facts it contains, and to these conclusions, 
 with accompanying summary statements, it is hoped by the 
 Committee, that special attention will be directed.

 " TJie growtli of Boston and her envnons, has been more 
 ra[)i(i during the past ten years, than in any previous de- 
 cade. The South has ascribed her progress principally to 
 cotton mills. In common with commerce, the fisheries, and 
 other manufactures, these have doubtless contributed to her 
 increase ; but the cotton business grew more rapidly in the 
 |)receding ten years, and is now less important than the man- 
 ufactures of leather." 
 
 " The principal cause has undoubtedly been the construction 
 of railways, and the establishment of a semi-monthly steam 
 line to Europe. These have given great facilities to her 
 commerce, enlarged her market, attracted merchants, stimula- 
 ted every branch of manufacture, created a demand for 
 houses and stores, and advanced the value of real estate. 
 September 30th, 1839, there were but one hundred and 
 sixty-seven miles of railway radiating from Boston." In 1851, 
 Boston is wedded to more than one thousand miles of railway 
 in Massachusetts, more than eighteen hundred in the five 
 other States of New England, and six hundred and fifty 
 more in New York. " In all, three thousand miles. In Sep- 
 tember, 1839, her railway horizon was bounded by Salem, 
 Bradford, Nashua, and Providence. It now encircles a web 
 spreading over Massachusetts, and extends to the Kennebec, 
 the St. Lawrence and the Lakes. This great system of rail- 
 ways has been principally planned and directed by her saga- 
 city. Boston invested largely in lines to the North, and in 
 distant railways, — the Michigan Central, Mad River, Read- 
 ing and Wilmington ; and 'she also expended five millions 
 in an aqueduct, and as much more on factory cities. The 
 aqueduct has been in operation three years. Her last invest- 
 ments promise to be remunerative, and will briug with them 
 a strong current of trade from newly acquired territory. 
 Railroads have become the great interest of Boston, and her 
 investment in them exceeds fifty millions of dollars.

 "The following tables, carefully prepared from official doc- 
 uments, will show tlie amount of freight business, which has 
 been done by the British Canard line of Steamships, from the 
 time when the line commenced running to Boston, in 1840, 
 to the first of January last." 
 
 " The original design contemplated little beyond the trans- 
 portation of the mails and passengers. Hence, the freights 
 were very small during the first year, and the duties trifling. 
 From the small amount paid in 1840, namely, 2,928 dollars, 
 the duties have swelled to 1,322,383 dollars, — the amount 
 paid last year. The smallest amount ever paid by any one 
 steamer, was 29 dollars and 38 cents only, by the Acadia, on 
 her first trip in 1840. The largest amount was paid by the 
 America, in February, 1850, namely, 217,483 dollars. There 
 have been eight arrivals which paid over 100,000 dollars 
 and three which have paid over 200,000 dollars each. The 
 Hibernia, the Cambria, and the Caledonia, have each paid 
 over a million of dollars revenue to the government. It is 
 probable that during the whole time, the steamers have brought 
 to Boston, 12,000 passengers."

 Note. In the Eeport to the Stockholders of the East Boston Company, re- 
 ceived after tlie above table was prepared, the Agent of the Cunard line of Steam- 
 ships, gives the distances from Liverpool, by Steamer, as follows, viz: 
 
 To Halifax, 2,508 miles. 
 
 To Boston, direct, 2,856 miles. 
 
 To New York, direct, 3,073 miles. 
 
 Were these distances ailopted, instead of those in the table, the comparison 
 ■would be still more favorable to Boston. 
 
 The following statistics were taken by the Day and Night 
 Police force, on Saturday, September 6th, 1S51, under the 
 direction of the City Marshal. The force, consisting of 55 
 men, was stationed at 6J o'clock, A. M.,and continued with- 
 out intermission to keep regular count, until 7^ P. M. 
 
 The vehicles which entered the City by the various routes 
 not including those that came from East or South Boston, 
 numbered 6,626. The number that went out, 7,063. 
 
 The number of Railway Passenger Trains, which entered 
 the City, was 116. The number that went out, 120. The 
 number of Freight Trains, which entered, was 39. The 
 number that went out, 38. Total Passenger and Freight 
 Trains, 313.

 FISHERIES. 
 
 Ill 1849, 204,000 barrels of Whale and Sperm Oil, three- 
 fifths of the entire Fishery of the Union, were brought 
 into Massachusetts; also, 231,856 barrels of Mackerel. A 
 large portion of these imports find their way to Boston. 
 
 For more than a century, Boston has been the chief mart 
 for the sale of dried Fish, and a large proportion of the Fish- 
 ermen engaged in both the Cod and Mackerel fishery, resort 
 to Boston, for outfits and sales. 
 
 CATTLE TRADE. 
 
 Large sales of Live Stock are made weekly at Brighton, 
 near Boston, brought principally from other States by Rail- 
 way. Many Horses are also brought by the same convey- 
 ance. Cattle are killed in the environs.

 Another large Market for Cattle and other Live Stock, is 
 now held weekly at Cambridge. The Live Stock offered 
 for sale at this Market for 1849 was as follows, — 56,144 
 Cattle, 168,224 Sheep, 7,678 Swine, and 1,245 Horses. 
 
 Large quantities of Pork in bulk are in the winter convey- 
 ed by railway to Boston from the interior of New York. In 
 the year ending September 1, 1850, 37,778 whole hogs were 
 thus- transported.

 IN 
 
 EXPANSION OF BOSTON. 
 
 a 
 
 A peninsula less than one square mile in extent was soon 
 found insufficient for Boston ; and the State annexed to her 
 Dorchester Point, a peninsula containing six hundred acres. 
 To this she is wedded by four bridges. At a latter period, 
 ferries were established to Noddle's Island, an area of six 
 hundred acres, and this island now forms a ward of the city. 
 Some hundred acres have also been reclaimed from the sea ; 
 but these narrow limits, less than two miles square, prove en- 
 tirely inadequate, and have been long exceeded." 
 
 " The population of Boston outside of her chartered limits, 
 already equals the population within. We should do injus- 
 tice to Boston, were we to confine her to such narrow 
 bounds, or within such arbitrary lines. Her true limits as a 
 commercial metropolis, are those marked out by her business 
 men for their stores, piers, shops and dwellings — the space 
 occupied by those who resort daily to her banks and ware- 
 houses, or meet at her exchange. How is it with her sister 
 cities ? Philadelphia, by the last census, embraced within 
 her chartered limits less than half her inhabitants ; the resi- 
 due were diffused through the extensive districts of Spring 
 Garden, Moyamensing, and Northern Liberties. She virtu- 
 ally extends, under different charters, from Richmond, six 
 miles down the Delaware." 
 
 "New York reaches fourteen miles from King's Bridge to 
 the Battery." 
 
 " New Orleans embraces three distinct municipalities, on 
 the crescent of the Mississippi." 
 
 " London, the queen of commerce, contains but six hundred 
 acres, and less than one hundred and thirty thousand people 
 in her chartered limits ; but her streets stretch eight miles on 
 the Thames. Within her metropolitan districts are eighteen 
 square miles of buildings and three millions of people." 
 
19 
 
 '• Boston, with less scope than New York, has, like New Or- 
 leans, Philadelphia and London, overslept her sea girt isles. 
 She has attached herself to the main by one wide natural 
 avenue, the Neck, paved and planted with trees ; by one 
 granite structure, the Western Avenue, a mile and a half in 
 length,- by six bridges, seven railways, and three ferries, one 
 terminating in a railway. Seven railways branch into six- 
 teen, and ten avenues divide into thirty within the first nine 
 miles from her Exchange. These diverge like a fan, and on 
 the streets thus made is found a large population under sep- 
 arate municipalities. As land rises in value, hotels, offices, 
 and blocks of stores usurp the place of dwellings. The old 
 residents, leaving the low and reclaimed land to foreign 
 laborers, plant themselves in the suburbs. There they build 
 tasteful houses, with flower plats and gardens ; availing of 
 the frequent omnibuses, or of special trains, run almost hourly, 
 and commuting for passage at $20 to $40 a year, they reach 
 their stores and offices in the morning, and at night sleep 
 with their wives and children in the suburbs. No time is 
 lost, for they read the morning and evening journals as they 
 go and return. Some of the wards appropriate for stores 
 thus rise in value, but diminish in population. The suburbs 
 extend, and the commercial community grows in a widening 
 semicircle." 
 
 Dr. Lardner well remarks in his late treatise on railways, 
 " The population of a great capital is condensed into a small 
 compass, by the difficulty and inconvenience of passing over 
 long distances ; hence has arisen the densely populated state 
 of great cities like London and Paris. If the speed, by which 
 persons can be transported from place to place be doubled, the 
 same population can, without inconvenience, be spread over 
 four times the area ; if the speed be tripled, it may occupy 
 nine times the area." 
 
 "Boston, the first of our American cities to adopt improved 
 modes of locomotion — instance her early Stages, her Middlesex 
 Canal, and Q,uincy Railway, — is entitled to avail of these 
 laws of science, and in computing her population and wealth, 
 
20 
 
 should embrace the surrounding districts within nine miles, 
 or half an hour's distance, c(inival(Mit to a two miles' walk 
 from her exchanj^e." 
 
 TABLE or INCREASE OF POPULATION AND WEALTH OF BOS- 
 TON AND VICINITY. 
 
 The following table exhibits the population and wealth 
 of the metropolitan district of Boston, by the census and 
 valuation of 1850 and 1840, with the growth of each. 
 
 This district is sixteen miles in length, by nine and a 
 half average width ; about one fourth of it is occupied by 
 water, marsh, or rocky hills, too steep for building.

 CONCLUSIONS AND SUMMARY STATEMENTS. 
 
 An inspection of the foregoing tables and statements, will 
 show that Massachusetts has, up to this time, constructed 
 1,150 miles of Railroad at a cost of $52,000,000; and the 
 other New England States have constructed over 1,700 miles 
 more, at a cost of $55,000,000. To these might be added 
 the Northern N. Y. (or Ogdensburg) Railroad, which is virtu- 
 ally a New England road, making a total of about 3,000 miles 
 of Railroad, constructed at a cost of upwards of $110,000,000. 
 
 The gross earnings in 1850 of all the Railroads in Massa- 
 chusetts, and of those that are partly in Massachusetts and 
 partly in adjoining States, were $6,903,328. The net earn- 
 ings during the same time, were $3,480,347. The cost of 
 these Roads was $53,264,000. The net income was there- 
 fore more than 6 per cent, on the total cost. 
 
 The number of passengers transported over these Roads 
 during the same time was 8,973.681, which gives an average 
 of 28,761 a day for 312 days. 
 
 The annual amount of duties paid on freight brought by 
 the Cunard Steamers to Boston, shows a constant yearly in- 
 crease from $73,809, in 1841, to $1,322,383, in 1850, except 
 for the year 1848, when the New York freight by the Steam- 
 ers ceased to pass through Boston, and the amount of duties 
 declined from $1,199,972 to $649,178. 
 
 Assumin ^ Liverpool as the starting point from Europe, for 
 the trade of the Canadas and the Great West, the " Table of 
 Distances " shows that Boston is on the shortest route, for a 
 very extensive territory, including the cities of Montreal, Al- 
 bany, BuUalo, Cleveland, Kingston, Toronto, Detroit, Chica- 
 go, St. Louis and Galena. If the exact distances across the 
 Atlantic given by the Agent of the Cunard Line, and the im- 
 provements they are making between Albany and Buffalo, by 
 which it is said the present travelled route will be shortened 
 30 miles, even Cincinnati will be 50 miles nearer Liverpool 
 through Boston, than through any other important seaport.

 If Cincinnati be nearer, it follows that every other point be- 
 low on the Ohio River must be. These are natural advan- 
 tages, which an accurate knowledge of the geographical posi- 
 tion of Boston, and of the topographical features of the terri- 
 tory embraced in this comparison, will show, can never be 
 taken from this City. 
 
 As Steamers on the Ocean, and Railways on Land, are 
 now the modes which must be adopted by all who would 
 compete successfully for the commerce of Great Britain, and 
 this Country, nothing but a failure of that enterprize which 
 has ever characterized this City, can prevent Boston from se- 
 curing her full share. 
 
 The Foreign Commerce of Boston, including exports and 
 imports, has increased from $19,859,817 in 1842, to $39,241,- 
 682 iL 1860. Its Shipping increased during the same time 
 from 193,502 tons to 312,192 tons. 
 
 The expansion and growth of population and wealth of 
 Boston, and the neighboring towns in which the families of 
 so many of her business men reside, has been very remark- 
 able during the last ten years. In 1840, the population of 
 this district was, by the State Census, 158,546 ; by the same 
 Census in 1850, it was 269,874. The assessed valuation in 
 1840 was 1120,114,574, in 1850 it was |266,646,844. This 
 population and wealth must preserve to Boston her station 
 among the three first cities of the Union. 
 
 The rapid growth of Boston and vicinity has not been at 
 the expense of the rest of the State ; for the population of 
 Massachusetts has increased from 737,700 in 1840 to 94,8665 
 in 1850, by the U. S. Census ; and her property valuation 
 from $229,828,399 to $507,936,995, or about double. 
 
 The imports from Canada, by Inland Ports into this Coun- 
 try, have increased in value from $5,204 in 1840 to 1,860,636, 
 for three quarters of 1850, or to about $2,500,000 per annum. 
 If this remarkable increase took place before our Railway 
 system reached the Canadas, what may not be expected now 
 that it is completed and in operation both to Montreal and to 
 Ogdensburg ?

 On the accompanying map will be found a plan of ** Bos- 
 ton Harbor and Railroad Termini." An inspection of it will 
 show how all the Railroads entering the City, have been, or 
 may be, connected by means of the Grand Junction Railroad, 
 and the proposed Horse Track along the heads of the wharves 
 in the City Proper. As the increasing commerce of the City 
 will require enlarged wharf facilities, this plan will show the 
 extent of water front, partially or wholly unoccupied, in South 
 and East Boston, in both of which it is proposed to extend 
 greatly the lines of wharves and docks, so that the accommo- 
 dations for shipping may be kept equal to the greatest proba- 
 ble demand. The Harbor of Boston has sufficient water front 
 susceptible of improvement, to accommodate all the shipping 
 of the Union.
