Maying allowances for the imperfect returns in the earlier periods of our ecclesiastical organization , it may not be far from the truth to estimate the number of clergy in 1790 , at about 2 O 0 ; and ap&ii ibe whole ^ it was scarcely on the
increase in 1814 ; although some States were then just commencing their career of exertion &n& prosperity . In little more than twelve years 1 jhe number of bishops has nearly , and of clergy perhaps quite , doubled .

By accounts from Petersburgh , dated the 6 th of June , we learn that the Emperor Nicholas has made an important alteration in the criminal law of Finland , inasmuch as he has abolished the
punishment of death in all cases except that of treason . It is stated in the Ukasey that time and circumstauces do not at present permit the submitting the plan of a new law to the States of Finland , and that his Majesty , therefore , exercises his prerogative of pardon or commutation . It is ,
however , thought advisable that persons sentenced to perpetual imprisonmeqt and labour , in lieu of death , should nqt l ? e detained in the interior of Fiulaud , but that , on the capital punishment beln # commuted , they should be seu . it fco . ,. $ e distant ^ Qveruments of Si , ^ ejqia ia > ty ^ ux Ml the wines . , - ' / . . . / '' . ! , ¦ > : ; ' .

Jews . —A writer in the North America Review thus speaks on the subject of the Jews in , the United States :- — " H is difficult to arrive at their number with any precision . Such are the
influences of habit and time , that while in the Old World , under innumerable exactions and disqualifications , there are six millions of Israelites , there are in these happy United St ^ te ^ not more than six thousand . I arrive at this conclusion
rather from comparative corollaries than from any given and accurate data . Tn the New England States there cannot be iBore than three or fc ? ur hundred in all ; ia Pennsylvania about that number ; in New York about nine hundred and fifty ; iu Virginia about four hundred ; irj North
Carolina about four hundred ; ia South CaroUna , atjou ^ € > ne thousand two hunjh'cd ; in Georgia about four hundred ; hi Florida , thirty or forty ; in Louisiana < &Qut , one Hundr ^ d ; and , making a large allowance for the scattered and unknown , 'think six thousand the maximum . "
