STATIMCAL STATE OF SCOTLAND• - , It is admitted on the Continent that Scotland is the country where, at the present moment, the spirit of observation and of inquiry, re garding objects of a statistical nature, is carried to the greatest per fection. In the course of a few years a distinguished individual (Ow Right Hon. Sir John Sinclair, Bart.), aided. in the . commencement of his undertaking, by the zealous support of the Clergy of Scotland , obtained-Ist. ii n accui ate description of every parochial district in that kingdom. 2d. With the assistance of the Board of Agricul ture, detailed accounts, were' next procured of the agricultural state and political circumstances of the several counties or larger diVisions. And 5d.. Under the sanction et* that 'Board, this ex tensive mass of information, which filled above fifty volumes large octavo, !closely printed,n. was condensed into three volumes, with two of Appendix, in a. work, entitled, " The General Report of Scotland." The result of all these inquiries, and of an examination of the most valuable works on such subjects, the same author,.it is said, proposes to draw up as a " Code of Political Economy." Annexed to the third volume of the General Report, there are the following Statistical Tables, with reference to thc year 1814. These furnish such a view of Scotland, as SiS never hitherto been given of any other country; and we insert thA l lf 'With much pleasure. 1. EXTENT IN SQUARE MILES. Latid. Fresh water Lakes.

" These tables present some extraordinary results, which, if not well authenticated, could scarcely be credited : more espe cially when the facts thus brought forward are compared with the state and circumstances of Ireland. ", It appears that Scotland litissesses only 1,804,864 souls, or about one-third part of the supposed population of Ireland ; and yet, in the year 1813 (the period at which the Report was completed), the people paid 4,204,0071. 7s. t4l. of net revenue, exclusively of the expellee of management and drawbacks.— This comparatively immense sum amounts to within about half a million of the net revenue of Ireland ; and it exhibits most clearly this important fact—namely,. that the people of Scotland are able to bear a rate of taxation, exceeding that of Ireland, in the proportion of three to one ; or, in plain language, a Scotch man pays three pounds to the - State, for every one paid by an Irishman ; and, by the same rule, Ireland instead of paying only 4,822,2641. I3s. of net revenue,. which was the Amount in the year 1813, .ought, on this account alone, to afford 14,466,7011. Is. 10All. annually, without burdening the people more heavily than they are in SCotland. • But • Ireland enjoys local advantages superior to-those of Caledonia, in as far as her soil and climate are. more favourable to the productions of the earth. " But, in comparing the circumstances of the two countries, there is another consideration of the utmost importance that bears upon the question. The total extent of Scotland includes nearly nineteen millions of English acres, of which only 5,043,000 are fully or partially cultivated. The total extent of Ireland may be estimated at more than twenty millions of Eng lish acres, of which 15,000,000 are fully or partially cultivated. Here we find that the people of the latter country have the su. periority over those of the former, in the proportion Af.nenrly' three to one, in all.that relates to the products of the soil, which are, in fact, the primary sources of national ivealth. " In regard to the quality of . soil and climate, Ireland pos sesses an advantage over Scotland, that may he estimated in the proportion of three to two—in reference to . her capabilities for manufactures, she may be supposed equal; but, in relation to facilities for commerce, she again has the superiority; and, without calculating minutely, it may be fairly stated—that the resources of Ireland exceed those of Scotland, as three to one, in calculating from population—as three to one in extent of produc tive soil—and as three to two in the quality of that soil. It ' therefore follows, that if the capabilities of Ireland were equally `well brought into action as those of the sister country, the re venue of the former should amount to about six times the re, ' venue of the latter, or to something about twenty-five millions sterling, without the people of Ireland being more heavily loaded with taxes than those of Scotland; and, at the same time, they ought to enjoy a similar degree of comfort and happiness, which is not the case. Without, -however, carrying the statement to the full amount it might seem to bear, we shall renounce a great part of the sum, and say, that Ireland could have afforded from twelve to fifteen millions of net revenue, if her moral and physi cal resources had been properly employed."

It is his Lord ship's intention to proceed with the Lancashire parishes, and terminate with those more locally situated in the county. The last general survey was made by Bishop tiastrell about a Cen turyago, but we do not believe it was a personal one ; probably nothing.more than what was collected from interrogatories put to the Churchwardens or Ministers of the remote districts. Dr. Gastrell was, however, a very intelligent and valuable man, and the county is much indebted to him for the additional light thrown on - its history by his collections, entithe, " .Notitia Cestrienss."—Chester Chronicle.

Walker is a bold and determined character, very' athletic,. and swift of. foot ; and as he always carried fire-arms, with the determination of never bring taken. alive, it was deemed necessary to take out a strong party to ap prehend him.

" Sen—l find it maintained, in a letter signed by Dr. James Johnson (London Courier of Ilth October) that the yellow fever is a dismseof local origin, which never was imported into the countries where it happened to rage; that it is not_ personally contagious : that- the poison, or malaria, which produces the disease, originates from the soil itself, being elicited by particular seasons; that the fever so generated, if exported to other countries, could not there be propagated, tbr want of its proper pabulum_; that, at least, such as the opinion of many enlightened French. and English physicians, , an opinion satisfactorily confirmed by the personal and . reiterated experience of Dr. James Johnsan. To the above *assertion I beg leave to oppose the folloWing fact : —ln the year 1800 a vessel, with a cargo of cotton, from-Phila delphia, was consigned to Iliessfs. Segalas and Co., an eminent -mercantile house of Cadiz. The I3oard .of Health, having been inforMed that several seamen belonging to that vessel had died during the passage, put her under a strict quarantine: As the house of Segalas enjoyed a great credit, and the special pro tecti4l of Don U.rquijo, then Secretary of State, and, as such, Superintendent of the Board of Health, they obtaired from that Al Mister permission that the vessel should be relened from the quarantine. She was, of.course, admitted into Ca:az, the crew landed, the cargo unloaded. The consequence was,.that a few days after, the yellow fever broke cut, for the first time, in the town. Segulas, the greater part of. his .family, and all his clerks, were the first victims. The destruction of human life the yellow fever occasioned, then and since, at Cadiz, is too well known. It is questioned whetheithe fatal disease has been entirely extirpated to this day. (Signed) " Liverpool, Oct. 10, 1821."
