Population of the United States.

At the last Census of the United States, in 1860,
the population numbered 31,738,721, and consisted of
26,957,471 whites, 488,070 free colored men, 3,933,760
slaves, and 339,420 Indians. There was a preponderance
of 700,000 males over females; this preponderance was
greater in the population under the age of 70 ; but beyond
that age the proportions were reversed, females being 5
per cent. iu excess. Of centenarians there were 2,950, of
whom 1,571 wore slaves; of nonagenarians, there were
13,i66, of whom 2,031 were slaves; of octogenarians,
93,535,. including- 9,961 slaves. The population of 1850
was 23,191,876; the increase in the decennial period was,
therefore, at the rate of 35.58 per cent. In 1790 the esti-
mated population was 3,929,827 ; the increase in the
seventy years ending in 1860 was thus eight-fold. Of the'
large free population, numbering 27,489,561, 4,088,215, or
nearly ono iu every six, were born in foreign countries.
Tho statistics o: the various States show some interesting
and instructive results. In North Carolinathe proportion
of foreign to native-born population was ono in 200; in
Arkansas ono in 87 ; in Georgia, one in 50 ; in Alabama,
ono in 43 ; in Mississippi and Tennessee, one in 40; in
South Carolina and Virginia, one in 30 ; in Florida, one
n 26; in Maine, one in 17 ; in New Hampshire, ono in
16; in Kentucky, one in 15; in Delaware and Indiana,
one in 12 ; in Oregon, Texas, and Vermont, one in 10 ; in
Kansas and Maryland, ono in 8 ; in Missouri, Ohio, and
Pennsylvania, ono in 7 ; in lowa and Connecticut, one in
6 ; in Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, New
Jersey, and Rhode Island, one in 5 ; in New York, one in
4; in Minnesota and Wisconsin, ono in 3 ; in California,
about 4 in every 10. In the leading cities the proportions
are startling. In Boston, 6 out of every 11 were foreign
born 3, ;

of
Chicago, out of 109,260, the native born exceeded the fo-
reign by only 12; in St. Louis, out of 186,178, 96,086 were
foreign. From these statistics it would seem that the
Southern States are more thoroughly American than the
Northern.

The summary of the occupations in the States must of
necessity be imperfect; still it presents some interesting
facts. Of clergymen there were 37,529 ; of teachers
110,469; of professional authors, only 216; of editors,
2,904 ; of publishers, 917; of printers, 23,106; of book-
sellers, only 1,861; of physicians, 51,543 ; of lawyers,
33,193; of judges, 787; of nuns, 114; and of sisters of
charity, 1,379. Astronomy only figures with 2 professors,
while astrology has 8. The only boot-blacks to be found
in the States wore in California, in number only 14. The
prim sober State of Massachusetts was the only State
which possessed cardmakers, of which it had 137. The
same State possesses all the chiropodists, in number 5, and
all the "Intelligence Agents" (2). Missouri monopolises
the horse-trainers (11), and the geologists (3). Pennsyl-
vania has all the ventriloquists (11), and 251 glass-makers
Michigan has all the " explorers" (2), all the "house-
movers" (2), and 2 out of the 8 trappers who find a place
in the Census.
A

REIVAL OF THE ALABAMA AT NEW ORLEANS.
—The Alabama, the Pioneer of Messrs. 13oult, English,
and Brandon's new line of screw steamships, arrived from
Liverpool at New Orleans on the 22nd October, having
sailed hence on the 24th September. The Alabama is a
splendid steamship of 1,500 tons burthen, under the com-
mand of Capt. Glover, and has been followed by the steam-
ships Gambia and Florida of the same line, thus opening
a regular communication by steam between this port and
New Orleans.
