THE SOCIAL CONDITION AND EDUCA TION OF THE PEOPLE. By Joseph J. Kay, M.A. Longmans. A work on so important a subject must always be interesting to the public. The first chapter treats of the social condition of the poor in foreign countries, the second of the awful state of demoralisation, poverty, and crime which is but ton common among the poor of England and Wales. The accounts given of their destitution and suffering are most appalling. The subsequent chapters describe the education of the Poor in foreign countries, and the final one is de voted to the present state of education in England and Wales, and considerations of the best plan to Provide sufficient instruction for the people. It is a highly interesting work on a subject demanding im mediate attention, and those desirous of obtaining ac counts of the habits and dwellings of the poor will be find ample information.

The rev. gentle man condescend=, in addition to his other r?cpontibili ties, to encumber himself with the rectory of Rolling bourn, in Kent, value 551. per annum—a mere crumb dropping into the gorged lap of this clerical Dives.

A few extra hundred pounds subscribed by the incumbent the Rev. Robert Moore, at once (and, the contribution would hardly have been missed from his plethoric pur,:e), would have furnished the children of Ilunton with need ful instruction in a becoming dwelling. The 1,0001. not being sufficient for the endowment, a generation actually passed away, while the Rev. Robert Moore prudently allowed the bishop's bequest to accumulate at compound interest. After 30 years' delay—l believe I speak under the mark—the school-house is built, time having quietly added to the 1,000/. the needful amount which this Ca lifornian pastor refused to grant to the children out cf the abundance of his wealth and the charity of his heart. The Rev. Robert Moore to do his work by deputy. Your faithful servant, MEMENTO. JUSTICE TO MR. MOORE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—You and your correspondents have (I am sure quite unintentionally) done an injustice to the Rev. Mr. Moore, in failing to give him the honour duo to him as rector of two more livings than you have enumerated. You have rightly described him as Registrar of the Pre rogative Gain of Canterbury, Canon of Canterbury, rector of Hunton, Kent, and rector of Latchingdon, Essex, all in the gift of the Archbishop of Canterbury, and presented to Mr. Moore by his father, the late Arch bishop Moore. But Mr. Moore rejoices in the possession of two more rectories, proceeding from the same source. lle has had ever since 1802 the sinecure rectory of Eynesford, Kent, which though put down at the moderate sum of 1501. annually, has annexed to it the very substantial benefit of the patronage of the vicarage of Eynesford (value 4101. a year), to which the said Mr. Moore presented in 1807, and may therefore not improbably be able to pre sent ugain. Moreover, since 1801 he has had the sine cure rectory of Holling,bourn, Kent, valued, it iL true, at the very moderate sum of 551, annually; and at first sight it might appear strange that it could have been worth his while to have enclosed such a minnow in his net. But the report of the Commis sioners on Ecclesiastical Revenues, published in 1835, will probably nO considered as affording a glimmering of light on the subject. for the following important ad dition to the 551. will be found there :—" Income 551, and fines on renewals, but none received for 28 years." Everybody, I am sure, will sympathize with Mr. Moore for his not having received a fine for so many years ; but as 28 years from 1835 brings us to the year 1807 , and Mr. Moore was appointed (according to the Clergy List for 1851) in 1801 (the " report" says 1802), no doubt there was something to comfort him at that more interesting period of his incumbency, and, as the fines are generally large in proportion to the smallness of the income, we may hope the best, though Mr. Moore did not favour the Commissioners with any further informa tion on this point ; and, as 17 years more have now elapsed, there is every probability that the patience that was so sadly tried by a delay of 28 years in receiving a flue has been abundantly rewarded. In future, therefore, Sir, justice to Mr. Moore will require that you should give him all the honours due to the holder of the following six offices :- 1. The Registrar of the Prerogative Court of Can terbury (worth, say, 10.000/. a-year). 2. A Canon of Canterbury (1,000/. a-year, and a share of the patronage of 34 livings). 3. The Rector of Hunton, Kent (7831, and a suitable house). 4. The Rector of Latchingdon, Essex, (6801., and a suitable howe). 5. The Rector of Eynesford, Kent (1501., and patron age of living of 4101.). 6. The Rector of Hollingbourne, Kent, (55/. and fines). The interest felt in Mr. Moore is perhaps enhanced ,y the recollection that his brother, the Rev. George Moore, was till 1846, by gift from the same quarter, — Canon of Canterbury (value as above), held since 1795. Rector and Vicar of Wrotham (value till his death 2,0611., with suitable house). held since 1800. Vicar of East Peckham (value 750/, with suitable house), held since 1805. But here I stop, lest I should exhaust your patience. I must leave it to the Clergy Lists of this and past years to do further justice to the Moore family. One question in all seriousness, and I conclude. Is there anything but an Act of Parliament, providing some check similar to what the bishops themselves placed in a recent Act upon the exercise of their patronage by men equally, I suppose, trustworthy—namely,deans and chapters— that will bring the bishops to their senses, or suffice to teach them that the patronage intrusted to their disposal, especially that more valuable part which they almost in variably appropriate, is not their own, nor intended to enrich the families of those already so munificently pro vided for, hut a solemn trust placed in their hands for distribution to those whom in their consciences they be lieve to be the most deserving of it, and likely to make it yield the most benefit to the great object for which alone the clerical office exists? Many think there is not, and their own legislation for the case of deans and chapters may be fairly taken as their own testimony on the subject. A FRIEND TO THE CHURCH. FILTHY WATER.—The Directors of the Wenham Lake Ice Company, in the Strand, are wags after a fashion, and mix much of practical philosophy with their humour.

Our Transatlantic friends of th e S trand do no t, h owe ver, step at this lesson, but they go on t o teach us w h a t our river ought to be, by a rapid restoration to its unsophisti cated country state, through the agency of a most s i m ple and perfect contrivance, termed an Hydro s t a ti c S yphon Purifier, the invention of Mr. Alfred Bird, the ingenious analytical chemist of Birmingham.

I t being impossible to proceed on the up line in conseque nce o f the disabled engine and tender lying across the rails, the ex cursion train was oblig,ed to be shunted on the down line, on which side it proceeded towards Scarborough for s ome time. This reprehensible step happily took place without any mishap, and the train, in which was our correspondent, shortly afterwards passed again on to the up line, about ten minutes before the last train from Scarborough to I ork came quickly forward. Had the excursion train been a few minutes later on the down line a terrible concussion would have been the necessary result. By the delay from the ac cident on the line, the excursion train due at Scarborough at 8.30 P.M. did not reach that place until 12.20 A.M. (Sun day morning), and at that late, or rather early hour, pas sengers, wearied and disgusted, had to seek lodgings as they best might.

The unfortunate g entlem an was very and had for some time been a n inmate of the workhouse. On Saturday h e had had p ermission to go out, and, on his return, was descending down a flight of eight or ten stone steps into the yard of th e house, when it is supposed his hand g ave 'way as he was lea nin g on the railing, and he fell over into the area below, a height of about sixteen feet. His head pitched first on the stones, and Mr. Brooks, the task-master, described the concussion as like " some one breaking a cocoa nut with a hammer." Assistance was immediately rendered by Mr. Duke, the surgeon, but he wa s wholly insensible, and died in about eight hours from concussion of the brain. The railings are three feet three high, which was considered too low fur aged people. The jury returned a verdict of "Acci dental death," and also agreed to send a manorial to the board of guardians recommending the hand -railing to be heightened at least six inches. AIATRIMONY.—The advertiser, aged 40, of improv- 1 ing political connexions, and being as well known for his independence of mind as he is for his independence of for tune, i 3 anxious to form a matrimonial alliance with a young lady, not older than himself, who might be able to command, ;f not an army, at least the means of procuring one in the hour of necessity. Temper is of no kind of object, as politi cal influence in the scale of Europe is the grand thing needed. If this influence in the scale can be further in creased by the weight of a fortune sufficiently large to turn the scale in the advertiser's favour, so much the better. Absence from England having somewhat limited the circle of his respectable acquaintance induces him to take this now not very unusual mode of making known his wishes. Has every reason to believe his name and position would, upon acquaintance, make any one happy who accepted his h a nd, though it still might bear upon it the stains of recent political events.

STATE OF TRADE, cirom the Manchester Guardian of this (iv.) • MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—The Europa's ndvices, received on Suratly, report en advance, to the 11th inst., of to per cent. per lb. in the New York cotton market. This Les no effect on Liverpool, however, for it is seen to have been occasioned by intelligence of an upward course in Liverpool to the 29th July, and not by any circumstances affecting the prospects of supply. These, on the contrary, are of an increasingly propitious character ; the receipts of the past crop being 3,000,917 bales against 2,316,931 at the same period last year, and the ac counts of the growing crop being more favourable, with fewer drawbacks, than such as we usually re ceive at this season. The'se circumstances are evi dently felt by speculators on this side, as the sales in Liverpool were only 6,000 bales yesterday ; and, although prices were not quoted lower, yet here and there a trifling advantage was experienced by buyers. l In our own market no further effect has been pro duced than that of a slight increase of caution amongst buyers. But any expectation of a turn in their favour, which they might entertain at the com mencement of the day, was found to be groundless as the forenoon advanced. The spinners of most descrip tions are too well supplied with orders to be at all anx ious about making further sales ; indeed, many of them are unable to undertake further contracts for delivery in any reasonable time. Under these circumstances, the market at large has been characterised by a gene ral firmness in prices ; while some of the scarcer articles, as for instance 28's to 32's warps, and certain numbers of cops, have shown a hardening tendency _imparting, indirectly a steadiness to those sorts which are somewhat dull, such as Indian qualities of mule. The cloth market has been inactive, but steady, indeed exceedingly firm in general prices. Under a fair demand from the home dealers and printers, the bias is still rather upward in some fabrics. Domestics are selling more readily, and the makers are therefore rather more independent in dealing with their customers. ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—The demand for flannels has been good, and the manufacturers are asking higher prices. The late advance in the raw material has had the effect of clearing the market. In wools prices are at present stationary; but low and middle quali- ties are very scarce. MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY. Our manufactured goods trade continues to maintain its position of last week, and with this continued impetus cer tain " makes " have become scarce ; consequently, prices have attained a firmness for some time without parallel in this market. The demand for thrown silks in the home trade may be quoted about the same as last week. In the mean time the mills continue in full operation for foreign account, and a scarcity of hands is manifested in this department. Raw Silk—Chinas have experienced a further decline of fid. per lb., but up to the present this has been without reaction or resumption of business. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY. —Business continues much the same in our market to-day as last week. There are more buyers in the town, but we cannot hear of any very large purchases having been made. Trade is dull for this time of the season ; still more is being done to order than is usual of late. HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—There has been a little inquiry to-day for camlets for the East India trade, but not in large quantities. For other descriptions of worsted goods there is scarcely any demand. In the yarn market there is no noticeable change. The spinners are moderately employed, but at rates that are not wholly remunerative. Wool is firm, and not much doing. COURT CIRCULAR. OSBORNE, TUESDAY. Her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Al bert, accompanied by their Roy al Highnesses the Princess Helena and Princess Louisa, drove out in an open carriage yesterday. Lord Colville was in attendance on horseback. The Earl and Countess of Derby arrived on a visit to the Queen. The Royal dinner party included the Earl and Countess of Derby, the Earl and Countess of Wilton, Baroness Speth, the Hon. Colonel and Mrs. Phipps, and Mr. Gibbs. Mr. Newdegate had an interview with Mr. Secre tary Walpole yesterday at the Home-office. The Cambridge University Commission had a meeting yesterday at the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury, in Downing -street. Pre sent—the Bishop of Chester, the Dean of Ely, Sir John Herschel, Professor Sedgwick, and the Rev. W. H. Bateson (Secretary). Dispatches were sent yesterday from the Colonial office to the Governors of Hang-Kong and Ceylon, and to the Governor of Malta. THE PEERAGE. Sir,—The remarkable statement made in your valu able journal on Saturday last, under the above heading, has attracted attention. I have carefully checked it, and find it correct, save as to the earldom of liaddington and the baronies of Belhaven and Bayning. In the two former cases, upon the demise of the present peers, without mail issue, their British peerages respectively will become extinct, but both Lords Haddington and Belhaven have heirs presumptive living who will inherit the Scottish honours. With regard to the barony of Bayning, his Lordship is blessed with a son and heir born in the year 1844. The baronies of Aston, Nugent, and Rancliffe, which your correspondent enumerates amongst those that will become extinct, have already become so, Lord Ashton having died in 1845, and Lords Nugent and Rancliffe in 1850. .However it is quite plain that within a very few years indeed thirty peer ages have become extinct, and that there are now no less than fifty, for which there are no heirs, either ap parent or presumptive, the_ great majority, if nut all, of which will also become extinct.

COWES, AUG. 24.—The match for the Royal Yacht Squadron Cup, so unfortunately interrupted on Satur day, was started afresh yesterday, but, as will be seen, with a result no less unsatisfactory than would have been the ease had the yachts continued their course on the day of the first attempt. Yesterday morning, before able the h ou r of starting• ten o'clock, there was a e breeze from N.N.E., but it died away soon before the hour fixed on arrived. owevThe vessels whic en h were destined to take part were, her, started at t, westward. 6he did not start the second time. tt A hhee s They were the same as on Saturday, with the exception of the Gloriana; yachtsUSgCloU lead,tO lying t g uhn a d b te r hr :a w s: Arrow t ff e distance of soon cAryom a r aso Claymore ike aad nad slight m a quarter of a mile; these two shortly afterwards stand ing over to the north shore. The Lavrock and Alarm were at this time the two sternmost. Off Leap-bank, the Musquito bade adieu to the Claymore, and drew on the Arrow, the latter showing signs of wishing to get into closer company with her little rival. All the yachts now got well over to the north shore, to shun the tide. There the Aurora got a breeze, and again took a nice lead. The Musquito and Arrow, now in close company, were followed by the Claymore about a mile astern. There was no great change in their positions for upwards of an hour, and on passing Hurst Castle the time for the i four leading yachts stood thus:— 12h. 10m. 455.

THE INCOME, AND PROPERTY 2'.41; There is no doubt that' the correct prilaciP 4 M . taxation is, that every one should contribute to the yearly expenditure of the country in e fix€d ProPoie non to the amount of property in his Pcs'es si9 . y n dUring that year. That is the posit i on very correctly laid down by Mr. William Fear, in his eviden ce, just published, before th e S e l e ct Committee on the Income and Property T ax . A m oment's reflection ill be sufficient to show thet it is in the highest degree unjust to exact the same sum iu the way of taxation from two men, one of whom derives an income from an estate in fee or from money in the funds, and the other whose income is a profes sional one or a short annuity. Let the tax be levied on the veue of the property, no matter what that property may be—land in fee or for a term of years, houses, a post in S omerset-house or i n the Treasury, skill in healing hum an di sor d ers, or i n playing on the fi idle. We care no t f rom what source the value may proceed, so it is value. L e t eac h man con tribute in pro portion to the amount of that value in his posses s i on. Now, what better t est o f t h e va l ue o f p roperty can be taken than the p r i ce i t w ill f etc h i n mar ket overt? . It is easy enough t o ascerta i n the va l ue o f e ach man's interest in real and personal estate ; it is also a suffi ciently simple task to determine the capitalised value of any income derived from skill or industry. As the best illustration of our meaning, and at the same time as the severest comment upon the present iniqui tous method of levying the income-tax, we would submit the following figures to the consideration o f our readers. They w ill serve to show th e sums for which such annuities rents, estates, an d sec urities as are there set forth w ou ld sell. It is rea lly difficult to see, with such calculations as the following before us, why we should not all be taxed according to our real, and not our imaginary means. We COPY the assessment from the reported proceedings of the Select Committee on the Income and Property Tax : " A has 10001, a year in Long Annuities B has 1,0001. a year in Consols at par 33,333 C has 1,000/. a year f rom land worth 30 years' purchase ••• 30,000 " D has 1,0001. a year from land, during his life ... ••• ••• ..• ..• ... 16,6 67 " E has the reversion of rents, of 1,0001. a year, after the death of D 16,666 "F h houses returning, in current rents, 1,000/, a year 16,000' A professional income is, probably, much inferior in value even to the lowest interest in the above assess• went. As is very properly stated in the report of the Committee, the highest possible point at which an income of this sort can be estimated is to place it among life annuities. As we all know it is, in point of fact, something much inferior. There are the contingencies of ill health end fashion. The fashion able physician of to-day is the nobody of to-morrow. The barrister who has sunk a considerable capital in subsistence, education, and protracted preparation for his profession, and had already begun to realize some fruits from all his anxieties, toil, and self-denial, finds himself suddenly thrown back upon the world, not from any fault of his own, but because changes have been introduced into the administration of the law. Then there must be taken into account the deductions made for life insurance, aril other similar provisions against sickness and death. How can any assessment be fair and equitable which not only strikes at the realized property of two soen, but then proceeds to levy a further toll upon the transitory income of one, while the other goes free for the simple reason that he has none which can be affected by such an impost ? Dr. Chambers or Sir Benjamin Brodie buy lands and estates like their neigh bours, and are subjected to similar taxation in every respect. The same thing happens if they invest in the funds. Their investments are realized values. Any 11. they receive from their patients is a simple 11. ; nothing more. Any l/. from their landed es tate or from the funds represents 301. besides itself, and yet seven-pence in the pound is deducted from each. Seven-pence is deduced from the 311., and seven -pence from the 1/. ; any. this is justice ! What we have said of coarse applies strictly to professional incomes, but it mill also bear upon all incomes derived from trade, manufactures, and com merce. First, the capital invested must make a suit able return ; then in good years an insurance must be paid against bad years ; Ihen the merchant or manufacturer is entitled to wages for his own solici tude and superintendence ; then he must insure against the dropping in of his own life ; finally, there is the net profit from the busbies?, whatever that may be. The Chancellors of the Exchequer, however from Mr. Pitt's time downwards, have refused to take notice of this analysis of an income. They consider the unstable and transitory income we have just described to be precisely identical with that of the landowner or fundholder. No allowance is made for the vicissitudes of commerce in the case of the mercantile man, any more than the changes of fashion or the failure of health in the case of his professional fellow taxpayer. All must dance according to the same tune, and march in the same step, whether Mr. Pitt or Sir Robert Peel, Sir Chas. Wood or Mr. Disraeli, be the fiscal fugleman. As it was in the year 1798, so it is in the year 1852 ; but so will it not be much longer. The anomalies we have named, which constitute :ndeed the gross and crying iniquity of the tax according to its present method of assessment, are not the only ones which might be signalised. We see it set forth in the very interesting evidence given before this Committee, that the whole of the tax is paid by about 350,00 0 persons , to annual incomes of 501. , there wou ld be four times as many taxpay ers. Thus, ever y taxpayer pays not only for him se lf b ut for t h re e others, which is an arrangem en t of much the sa me cha racter as the one prop ose d during every English the sharp pinch and that if the operati on of the tax descended of the Irish famine namely, th at f a mily should be requi re d to receive—gra t u itously, of course—two Irishmen a s par l our b oar ders. It is bad enough to have to Pay taxes f or on eself,but it is cruel to have to pay f or others . The minority. is fleeced that the majorit y may go f ree . will venture, at this point, to quote a few lines f rom report :—" The farmers occupy i ng l arge farms pay their own tax and also th e tax that t h e farmers on rents of 2991. a year or l ess i n Eng l an d, and 4191. a-year or less in Scotland, ought to pay.

If there be any thing which could a dd to our s aggravation in the m id st of this injustice,fere th the full conviction th a t to wish s i nce rely remedy is to discov er it .

STATES. - (FROM AN AMERICAN COE.REPONDtNT.) The preclominqnc,,, of the Anglo-Saxon race in numerical, as well es in intellectual capaeiiy, in that part of North America comprised within the area of the Republic of the United States has been generally admitted, or, in deed, scarcely denied, until within as very recent period. It now seems to have become important to political derna -:•ormes in their anxiety to wiel d b, influe nce w ith t h e numerous c l asses o f the American population, principally from Ireland and Ger many, who ha ve swe ll s d th e ran k s of emigrants to those shores within the last quarter of a century, to mnrepresent and exaggerate the proportion of the Celtic and modern German element in the aggregate numbers of the American nation. An Irish--Arneri can writer of thi s s t amp, I o b serve, i s quo t e d a s an authority in the l as t J anuary num b er o f t h e L on don Quarterly I?e v i ew , and en thot account deserves at tention, for the purpose of correcting his gross mis representations. In the article referred t o ( on " Hi g hl an d Destitu tion and Irish Emigration") the Q uar t er l y sa y s : " But what will be the influence of the Irish exodus upon the destinies of the g rea t A mer i can Republic? The population of the United States is probably the most mixed and heterogenous on the face of the earth. Toe Slavonic element, which is entirely antipathic, is almost the only European one unrepresented there. The native German, the Anglo-Saxon, the .Milcsian, and the Gaelic sub-varieties of the Celtic race—to say nothing of the African—have all contri buted largely to the composition of that strange people. But, if auy reliance can be placed on the accur..cy of the following table, which seems to have been con structed with groat care by a Mr. William E. Ribinson, and read before a learned and statistical assemblage at Clinton, in New York, the Celtic blood even now predo minates. The gross population of the Union was, in 1350, a little above 23,000,000, which (says Mr. Robin son) may be thus appropriated : Irish barn 3,000,000 Irish by blood ... ... 4,500,000 German by blood or birth 5,500,000 Anglo-Saxon by blood or birth ... 3,500,000 French, or other Celts, by blood or birth 3,000,000 Coloured, free or slave 3,500,000 Total... ... 23,000,000 " According to this table (the Quarterly gravely re marks), more than half the white population in the United States are Celts; more than a third Irish Celts; a seventh actually of Irish birth. This more than increasing predominance of a race of so strongly marked a character, and of qualities so opposed to those of the AnglceSaxon, may well give rise to consider able anxiety on the other side of the Atlantic, and to interesting speculation here. If the Irish, enabled by their numbers to congregate together there as in the old country, and thus to withdraw themselves in a great measure from the influences of a new scene and a supe rior race, shall retain their national features unchanged or only slightly modified, they may affect greatly 'the aggregate character and the political and social proceed ings of the Union. The stern and resistless energies of the Anglo-Saxon may, and probably will, still enable him to retain the supremacy, but even then the destinies and the nature of the America people, as a whole, must be affected by this inordinate i n nfusion of Irish blood." As I shall be able to show that the reviewer reasons upon false premises, founded upon the misrepresenta tions of the Irish lecturer " before a learned and statistical assemblage at Clinton, in New York " (which assemblage, by the way, was principally composed of young men and plain country people at the commencement of Hamilton College, a minor institution in central New York), I think he may dism i ss his apprehensions as to the effects which an Irish Celtic emigration in large numVers may pro duce on the character of this Anglo-Saxon Republic in its social or political relations. If I were, however, to admit the facts stated, such is my confidence in the predominance of the Anglo• Saxon intellect, and governing powers and influence over the other races with which the people of this vigo rous stock comes in contact, that I should still believe in the permanency of Anglo-Saxon insti tutions, government, and social superiority, as much in America as in Great Britain. All experience on both sides of the Atlantic serves to confirm the soundness of this opinion. In the United States it is well known that the only influence the Celtic race, when banded together, has exercised upon our poli tics has been in the use which has been made of them by demagogues (generally of other races, and most frequently Anglo. Saxon) to hold the balance of . power between contending parties, and thus to elevate aspiring individuals to office and power. A transfer to the American continent of the entire Celtic population of Ireland need not, therefore, create any feelings of apprehension among those who are anxious for the perpetuity of Anglo-Saxon rule and predominance. Indeed, most of the Irish and other emigrants who settle among us seem to consider this result as a necessary consequence, and to acquiesce in it with a readiness which shows that they appreciate Anglo-American institutions, man ners, and customs, as the best calculated for the adoption and use of a free and republican people. I propose, however, to show the erroneous cha racter of the statement respecting the elements of the population of the United States, as quoted by the Quarterly Review. This I shall do very briefly, but I trust satisfactorily, by two statements ; first, by answering the inquiry which may be made, what was the character, as to races, of the population which composed the thirteen British colonies which declared their independence in 1776; and, secondly, in giving the numbers and character of the emigrants from Europe to the United States since the Ameri can Revolution, with an estimate of the probable numbers of the descendants of those emigrants, thus added to the population. The British colonies in America, forming the original 13 States, it is well known, were settled by emigrants, a large proportion of whom were natives of Great B r it a i n . No considerable emigration of Celtic Irish, or other people of Celtic origin, took place until after the N commencement of the pre sent century. The England States, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, i3o v E elaware, Maryland Vir ginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia were mainly settl e d b y Englishmen. New York , the only Dutch colony, passed ' under British domi nion, with a small population, partly Dutch and partly English, i n 1674. The Dutch records of 1673 say They, and as many of the Dutch nation as are yet residing under this Government, are calculated to amount, women and children in cluded, to about 6,000." In 1698 the total number of inhabitants in the colony was 18,067, and in 1723, the whites had increased to 34,393, wa534,393 and the blacks to 6,171 : —t o t a l, 40,564. This unde r the English G overnmen t. A f ew Dutch, Germans, Poles, se ttl e d i n N ew J erse y ; a few Swedes and in Delaware, many Germans in Pennsylvania, where they afterwards became one-third of the popula tion ; and some French Protestants, called Hugue nots, in New York, New Jersey, and South Caro lina. Besides the small Polish colony in New Jersey, referred to above, another branch of the Slavonic race was represented by a colony of a fesi Moravians and Bohemians in Pennsylvania. With the exception of a few Scotch Highlanders who settled in North and South Carolina and Geor gia, I believe no Celtic colony is to be found among the settlements in the British North American colonies of either the 17th or 18th centuries. Settle ments of Lowland Scotch and Scotch-Irish from the north of Ireland were made in Pennsylvania and the Carolinas, and a small number of Irish Protes tants settled in the town of Londonderry in New Hampshire. The very considerable numbers of Irish Protestants from Ulster and other parts of Ireland (of Lowland Scotch and not of Celtic origin) who have, from time to time, emigrated to the United States, have led to much confusion and error in investigating the elements of American population. But minute inquiries into the progresa of the colonies will satisfy impartial obseraers that no considerable Celtic element existed in the population of America previous to the United States census of 1790. The Welch, considered by some as Celts, but who, in truth, are the descend ants of the Cymri, furnished a small proportion of the early emigrants to British America. They have doubt less mixed more with their English neighbours on their native island than have the Scotch and Irish ; and of the emigrants to America, particularly to New England, it was often difficult to distinguish between the Welch and English who came over together in the early colonial history. There we re , however, a few Welch colonies in the United States in the last century, where the emigrants retained their language, manners, and customs. Such is the county of Cambria, in Pennsylvania, and some smaller settlements in New York and other States. It is ro" p bably fair to estimate the Welch element in the -pre" sent population of the United States at 500,000. In giving a view to the various races who contri buted to form the population of the colonies, I should mention that a few Jews were among the number, principally commercial adventurers in the Atlantic cities-and towns; but the greatest proportion of the Jewish race now found there is of recent emigration. We see, then, that the follo w i ng European races made up the population of the British Colonies pre vious to the American Revolution—viz., Anglo- Saxon, Lowland Scotch, Scotch-Irish, Welc h , High; land Scotch, Germans, D u t c h, F renc h (Buff"" t " Moravians, Poles, Swedes, and Jews.

The following is the result of estimates and returns made up at the Census-offi ce a t Washington bearing upon this sub ject of emigration : /MNIGRANTS FROM FOREIGN COUNTRIES INTO THE From 1790 to 1810 From 1810 to 1820 From 1820 to 1830 From 1830 to 1840 From 1840 to 1850 120,000 114,000 ••• 203,979 ... 778.500 ... 1,543,850 1852.

Twenty years since, when the white population of the United States was 10,537,378, and the number of coloured people 2,328,642 (viz., slaves 2,009,043, free 319,599), according to the census of 1830, Pro fessor Tucker, of Virginia, who has written much on the subject of population, made the following esti mate of the division of the people of the United States, according to races and descent, viz.:— Census of 1830.

IRELAND. DUBLIN, TUESDAY.—At the recent annual cattle•show in Galway, it was arranged that the exhibition of the Royal Agricultural Society for 1853 should be held in Killarney. This was effected through the intervention of Mr. Pierce Mahony and Mr. Dargan, the eminent rail way contractor, the latter of whom volunteered to give the necessary indemnity, on his own account, for 500/. The landed proprietors of Kerry will, however, gladly subscribe that amount amongst them, whilst gratefully declining the liberal offer of Mr. Dargan. It is stated that the Queen and Royal Family contemplate a visit to this country during the Great Industrial Exhibition of 1853 iu Dublin, f or w hi c h t h e p re p a rations are already in a forward state. It is considered probable that her Majesty and her illustrious Consort will avail themselves of the opportunity of proceeding from Dublin to Killar ney by railway, and the agricultural show will take place in that town about the period mentioned for the Royal visit. The railway communication with Killarney is likely to be completed long before that time, and it is hoped that her 'Majesty will visit the far-famed scenery of " the Lakes." THE HARVEST,--In all parts of this country the busi ness of the harvest is now in active operation; and so great is the demand for labourers, that wages have risen considerably beyond the rates in previous years. In the county of Dublin reapers are obtaining half-a-crown a day. The reports of the cereal crops are most satisfac tory, and there is the fairest prospect of an unusually abundant harvest. There are renewed assurances of the stoppage of the potato blight. Although there is a con siderable loss in that crop, it is calculated that the resi due will be nearly adequate to the ordinary supply of the markets, in most districts. Potatoes are again ad vancing in price , in Dublin. IMPRISONMENT OF MR. DELMEGE.—The following letter from Mr. Delmege, J.P., now in the gaol of Ennis, appears in the Dublin Boning Mail.

GREENWICH PARK.—We have frequently ca ll ed a ttention to the shamef u l state of Greenwi c h Park. About a month since notice was taken of the falling of a dead branch from one of the trees, and one especially was then mentioned, which was in a most dangerous state ; no attention was paid to that, nor will there be, until a similar fatal result to that of last year takes place, when a child lost its life. A few days since Mr. Moore, the churchwarden of Green wich, while in the park with his children, had moved from under one but a few seconds, when a dead bough fell on the spot he had just left. At the time there was no wind, so the state of the tree must have been evident. Any person walking round may perceive hundreds of such cases, that would not be tolerated in a private gentleman's estate; yet here, in a public Vice, visited daily by th owazum ,..- this is lowed,..4Celiei4ll 4'11414 SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
