hero and there a yellowish or greyish tinge, something like
the appearance which follows our severe frosts in October.
This colour, unusual at so early a period as the Ist of Sep-
tember, became more and more marked, and at length at-
tracted sufficient attention to induce the farmer to examine
the " tubers" or " roots." To the no small surprise of those
who had viewed the changes in the tops or " shaw," as the
result of a sharp frosty night, the potatoes were found dis-
coloured on the surface—soft and friable in places, and the
interior much changed in colour wherever the disease had
manifested itself. Examining furrow after furrow, as some
had done, where the tops showed the withered appearance,
and finding the same untoward condition of the " roots," the
greatest alarm has been caused amongst those who have the
misfortune to possess such crops, and this alarm, we need
hardly add, has taken possession of the purchasers.—Cariisle

FIELD LABOURERS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Witnessing the conclusion of a most bountiful har-
vest, my attention has been called to the state of the field
labourers in harvesting the allotments of their half acre,
quarter of an acre, and some few from one to three acres. Their
little ricks of corn, safely gathered, the spade is immediately
at work, women and children busily engaged in getting
potatoes and beans.

Hundreds of families here have allotments. All hands are
employed. Viewing the country from a fine eminence, it
looked like a terrestrial paradise, but seeing no labourers'
cottages, asked where are the poor workmen? One said, driven
into towns or large villages, sleeping four or five in a bed.
The Duke, said the man, would build us cottages, but great
objections are made by the farmers, who are afraid of having
too many of us, and cannot allow us to get a little food and
comfort. Three hundred labourers left here for Australia a
few years ago ; they blessed the day that caused them to go,
where land could be had. Meeting the Rev. Mr. Hawkesley,
of Souldrop, he told me he had fifty tenants; the Rev. Mr.
Thornton, of this parish, the same ; John Gibbard, Esq., the
same, and many others.—Yours, &c.,
MATTHEW PHILLIPS.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of Sept. 26.)
SUGAR.—To-day all descriptions of West India Musco-
vado Sugar were in excellent request for the use of grocers
and refiners; there was more doing for the ontports, and in
consequence of the firmness of the merchants, buyers were
compelled to pay stiffer rates, so that prices are now the same
as they were on Friday last.
REFINED.—To .day refined goods were only in brisk re-
quest by the home trade, brown Lumps at 64s 6d to 65s 6d,
and Standard Lumps 66s to 675. Bonded Crushed Sugar is
offered at the reduced rates of 40s to 40s 6d per cwt for first
sorts.

Mitunrrius.—This afternoon there was a better demand
privately for Mauritius Sugar, and the rates obtained were
equal to those of the last public sale; the sorts the most
wanted were the low and middling yellow at from 47s to 50s
per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon white Bengal was purchased
more freely, and, privately, several parcels were sold at fully
former rates ; 500 bags at auction went as follows—good
white at 565, middling 54s 6d to 555, low dingy 53s
to 53s 6d, damp 53s 6d to 555, washed 535, sugar drainage
damaged 535. Of brown sorts some parcels sold privately.
In all, 1,500 bags of Dobah have been sold at 52s to 625, and
2,000 bags of strong grainy yellow at 54s 6d to 55s Gd
per cwt.

FOREIGN.—To-day there was little desire manifested to
purchase Foreign Sugar by private treaty. At public sale
29 tierces and 363 barrels of Foreign West India in bond
were sold, but at a decline of is to is 6d per cwt; low yellow
selling at 233 ; middling 23s 6d to 243; and good middling
24s to 24s 6d per cwt.
MOLASSES.—This afternoon West India Molas'es were
sought after, and stiffer rates were given, 250 puns of An-
tigua were sold, fine new at 23s 6d, and very fine 24s to
24s 6d per cwt.
COFFEE.—This afternoon there was no public sale of any
sorts of Coffee, but 6,000 bags of East India are declared.
There was little business transacted by private treaty in any
description. For good ordihary pale Ceylon 47s to 48s per
cwt are however asked.

TEA.—For Congou holders are unable to obtain any
further advance, but the demand has been excellent for
all descriptions. In Pouchong there has been a good deal
doing at 5d to 10d, according to quality, but clean sorts from
6d to 9d per lb are the most in esteem. For Twankly the
demand is increasing, and prices are rising. For Hyson no
further improvement in prices has occurred. Young Hyson
has been sold to a large extent, at 9d to is 10d, and better
sorts at 'is to 3s Bd. Of Hyson, some parcels sold at late
rates. Gunpowder is wanted, but holders are willing sellers.
Imperial has met with a good demand. For Souchong a fair
demand has been experienced. Caper sells more freely at
slightly improved rates. For Orange Pekoe the demand has
been brisker.

PRICE OF SUGAR.

SAGO.--A good desire has been shown to purchase Pearl
Sago, and several parcels were sold privately at stiff rates ;
110 hests at auction went 2s per cwt above former rates.
Sago flour is wanted, but higher rates being asked, checked
business, and 250 bags at public sale were taken in at 21s for
good middling good colour, being above the value.
RICE.—To-day the market presented a dull appearance for
all sorts of Rice ; 19s to 20s 6d have been accepted privately
for low to mid white Bengal, and 21s to 22s for good and
fine. Since this day week several parcels have arrived.
FRUIT.—AII the recent arrivals of New Valencia Raisins
has been sold at 435. For New Patras Currants higher
prices were given. The new Turkey pulled Figs and Sul- COURSE OF EXCHA.

Geneva has been purchand with increased freedom, and prices
have advanced from 2s 4d to 2s 5d for common export sort,
and 2s 7d to 2s 9d for fine fit for duty. British Corn Spirits
are in good demand at lOs 2d per gallon, nett cash.
INDIGO.—The market has still a very du:l appearance for
East India, there having been scarcely any demand since our
last report from exporters and the home trade, and last sales
rates are not obtainable. The quantity announced for public
competition on the 7th of October has been increased to
17,989 chests.

SALTPETRE.—HoIders of Rough submitting to rather
lower rates has occasioned a good business to be transacted
privately. In English Refined a good deal has been done at
28s for large, and at 28s 6d per cwt for small casks. For
Nitrate of Soda prices are firm.
SHELLAC.—An improved demand has at length taken place
for this article; an extensive business has been transacted
this week chiefly on speculation, and advanced rates are
given. Lac Dye has been purchased more freely.
TAR is much wanted, and in consequence of the scanty
supply a further advance in prices has taken place. Spirits
of Turpentine have been purchased more freely. Rough is in
good demand.
Ous.—Although there are sellers of Southern Oil at lower
rates, still the demand by private contract has been limited
from exporters and the home trade. Seal has been pur-
chased with caution, and prices are drooping. The business
transacted in Cod has been trifling; and prices downwards.
Sperm Oil is not so much in request, but full rates are
insisted upon. Although Linseed Oil can be purchased 6d
per cwt under previous rates, still the demand from the
home trade continues to be limited; there are few ex-
port purchasers, and the contracts entered into for forward
delivery have been trifling. Rape Oil has been sold to some
extent. Palm is wanted, and prices rule firm. For Cocoa
Nut late rates are asked, but there has been less doing
privately. Olive Oil has been in good demand, and holders
show firmness. Lard Oil is worth 421 to 43/, and Ground
Nut Oil 301 to 311 per tun.
TALLOW.—This afternoon at public sale 187 casks New
South Wales were sold—fine 42s 9d to 435, good 41s to
41s 3d, low to middling 38s to 40s 9d; 38 hhds Petersburgh
soap Tallow 38s 9d to 39s 3d per cwt.

EXPORTS AND IMPORTS.
A very valuable Parliamentary paper has just been issued
from the Vote-office, for which the public are indebted to a
motion of Mr. Hasne's, made on the Bth of August last.
No document could have been better calculated to exhibit
tha present condition of the several main branches of our
Indian, Colonial. and general American trade than this.
Under the heading of " Exports and Imports," it exhibits
an account of " the declared value of the various articles of
British produce and manufactures exported to the British
West India Colonies, for each of the past five years,
ending the sth day of January, 1845, with the rate of
duty imposed on each article in the colonies ; and of the
quantities of the principal articles of the growth and manu-
facture of the British West India Colonies imported into the
United Kingdom; and of the quantities cleared for home
consumption, and the rate of duty charged upon each arti-
cle, &c. ; also the number of ships, distinguishing British
and Foreign, with their tonnage that have entered and
cleared for the British West India Colonies from the
United Kingdom during the same period." From this
well-digested mass of statistics, it results that the aggregate
value of British and Irish produce and manufactures exported
in 1840 was 3,574,970/. ; in 1844, 2,451,477/. ; showing a de-
crease in our exports to our West India colonies on the latter,
as compared with the former year, of 1,123,493/. This aggre-
gate decline in 1841 improved in 1842; again in 1843, when
it reached the amount of 1840 by less than 700,0001. In
looking over the articles which compop these exports we
have been struck by the general precision of the relations
which they bear to the transition state of these
colonies in their progress from slavery to freedom. It is
painful to remark how large a decrease there is in
articles necessary to the culture or the manufactur-
ing processes of the principal staple products of these
islands, and also to those commodities of luxury or refinement
which were till within these few years so largely exported
from this country for the enjoyment or consumption of the
planters and proprietors. On the other hand, it is at once
curious and satisfactory to remark how marked an increase
has gradually manifested itself in our exports of those arti-
cles, not, as heretofore, almost exclusively of necessity, but
of what may be called coarse luxury and finery, such as we
may well suppose would be among the most favourite and
the earliest gratifications of a newly enfranchised race of
a rude people. To begin with this last class of exports
first, we find, accordingly, a decided increase in
"apparel, slops, and haberdashery." In 1840 they were
231,0001. odd ; in 1844, 244,437/. Of manual instruments,
within the same period, the exports rose from 5,9511. to
7,045/. Of perfumery (always extravagantly prized by the
negro races), from 7,466/. to 9,543/. Earthenware of all sorts,
33,000/. odd to 35,700/.. Against this pleasant glimpse of
improvement we must place, with pain, such significant indi-
cations of decaying tillage and impoverished means on the
part of the planters as we fear these must be taken for which
follow. The decline on the declared value of our exports to
the same colonies in manure was from 9,459/. to 5,850/ ;
oil cake, 8,747/. to 7,298/. ; lime, 7,5371. to 6,917 ;
bacon and hams, 39,4921. to 20,931/. ; beef and pork
(the most enormous decrease on any of the items), from
104,6181. to 15,8771., or 650 per cent. on the five years. Then
cabinet and upholstery ware dropped from 15,814/. in the year
1840, to 9,6781. in 1845. Butter and cheese from 111,8081. to
64,707/. Beer and ale from 81,6891. to 57,923/. Cordage from
19,007/. to 15,301/. Cotton manufactures, including cotton-
yarn, from 1,234,687/. to 637,962/. Linen manufactures and
yarn from 332,041/. to 217,071/. Plate, plated ware, watches,
&c.' from 23,223/. to 13;1221. Silk manufactures from 36,2301.
to 25,078/. Woollen manufactures and yarn from
90,916/. to 78,695/. Then there is a fall in brass
and copper manufactures in the same period of some
12,000/. ; in coals, calm, and cinders, of more than 11,000/. ;
in machinery and millwork, of 20,000/. (this item in 1840
was 44,388/., last year only 24,1100 ; in painters' colours, of
5,000/. ; tin and pewter wares, and tin-plates, of 2,0001.
These are, all of them, commodities which in a sounder con-
dition of our West India trade ought to have shown a large
rate of increase instead of such a fearful diminution. In addi-
tion to the very few items of "improvement," we scarcely
know whether we ought to take account of so ugly as
item as apothecary wares, which have gradually expanded
from 18,1231. to 20,3851. " Hardware and cutlery "
has risen from 70,8791. to 77,529/. Our imports
from these colonies, for the same term, show some contra-
dictory results which it is not very easy to reconcile. For
example, whilst cocoa, at a duty of 2d. and a fraction per lb.,
rose from 2,045,244 lbs. in 1840, to 2,583,400 lbs. in 1845, at
just half that duty per lb., coffee, which, at a duty of 6d. and,
a fraction per lb., was imported to the extent of nearly ten
millions of pounds in 1840, and upwards of ten millions and
a half in 1841, last year, at the diminished duty of 4d. and a
fraction, had rapidly run down to 7,712,211 lbs. only, in
contempt of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the poli-
tical economists, and everybody else who bad predicted
a concurrent rise of consumption with lowering of the duty.
In like manner, in 1840 we imported of ginger, from these
colonies 7,935 cwt., at the duty of Ils. 6 3-sd. per cwt.,
but directly this duty was reduced to ss. 3d., in 1842, the
import fell to 5,068 cwt. It is now so far recovered as to have
been, last year, 6,100 cwt. The rum imported in 1840 was
3,772,047 gallons, of which there were entered, for home
consumption, 2,498,255 gallons. In 1844 these quantities
were, respectively, only 2,506,941 and 1,987,970 gallons
(this latter quantity exclusive of 104,793 gallons East and
West India rum vatted together). Sugar shows an increase
in the same period of about 50,000 cwt., at the duty of
11.55. 2 2-sd. per cwt. Upon the whole, these statistics of
our trade with the British possessions in the West Indies
appear not only unsatisfactory, but alarming. We shall soon
hare occasion, however, to recur more largely to this interest-
ing point.
The return of British and Irish produce and manufactures
exported from the United Kingdom to the East India Com-
pany's territories and Ceylon is far more encouraging. The
aggregate in 1840 was 6,023,192/. (declared- value) ; for 1844
it was 7,695,606/. The importations from, and exportations
to China, present an interesting feature in the document.
The articles of British and Irish produce and manufactures,
exported from the United Kingdom to China, consisted of
apparel, slops, and haberdashery, arms and ammunition, beer
and ale, printed books, brass and copper manufactures, cotton
manufactures, cotton yarn, earthenware of all sorts, glass,
hardware, and cutlery, iron and steel, lead and shot, linen
manufactures, pickles and sauces, plate, plated ware, ewellery
and watches, stationery, tin, and pewter, wares and tin plates,
woollen manufactures, and other articles. There has been a
great increase in the last year. The following figures show
the aggregate value of British and Irish produce and manu-
factures during the five years :-1840, 524,198/. ; lB4l,
862,570/. ; 1842, 969,381/. ; 1843,!1,456,1081.; 1844, 2,305,617/.
The declared value of hardware and cutlery exported last
year was 16,281/. The exportations have increased since the
establishment of the tariff with China in a surprising
manner, and must have given a great impetus to trade. The
articles imported from China are likewise iven. Of course
the article " tea" is a great feature in the list. For the five
years the following return is given :-1840, 22,576,4051b5.;
1841, 27,639,8171b5. ; 1842, 37,409,5441b5. ; 1843, 42,779,265
lbs. ; 1844, 51,754,4851b5. The quantities entered for home
consumption are for the years respectively 31,009,9661b5.,
33,588,1221b5., 36,003,4671b5., 38,686,2621b5., and 40,118,782
lbs. The rate of duty charged is 2s. 21,4 d. per lb. In the
accounts rendered of shipping, it appears, with respect to
China, that the vessels that have entered and cleared for

China from the United Kingdom, in the last two years,
ending in January last, -numbered, as "entered inwards" in
1844, was 84, and in 1845 104, British ; and "cleared out-
wards," in 1844, 73 ; and in 1845, 78 British ; and of foreign
there were 3in 1844, and sin 1845. Our exports to the Mau-
ritius in the same term had declined from 325,812/. to 285,6501.,
whilst those to the British North American Colonies increased
from 2,874,913/. to 3,070,861/. A bad account, indeed, is
shown of exports to New South Wales and the Australian
Colonies. In 1840 they reached 2,004,3831. In 1844 they went
down to 744,0604 Our export trade to the United States,
after declining from its amount in 1840 (viz. 5,283,0207.) by
nearly the sum of 2,300,000/. in 1842, had risen at the close
of the last commercial year to 7,038,079/. Our trade to Cuba
stood as 514,782/. in 1840 ; at the end of 1844 it was 654,214/.
To Brazil, it was in the first year of the same term 2,625,863/. ;
in the last, 2,413,538/. ; to Mexico and the States of Central
and South America we exported, in 1840, to the amount of
3,576,357/. ; in 1844, to 3,013,267/.

HOP

INTELLIGENCE.

BURWASIL—Hop-picking commenced here on Tuesday
last, and will be general in this neighbourhood to-morrow. It
is now beyond doubt that the crop has been, by many of our
planters, much over-estimated. Almost every planter who
has begun is inquiring for more pickers, his usual number of
hands being insufficient to supply his oast daily with the re-
quisite quantity of hops. " We can't get on at all," say the
pickers, "the hops don't rise, they are so small—so very
small." The sweeping winds of the last week have done an
amount of injury in the gardens, to which the farmers and
labourers here say they do not remember a parallel. Great
numbers of labourers, male and female, are employed daily,
propping up poles and gathering up the large quantities of
scattered hops. A common expression with us is, " Depend
upon it, these winds have blown away twenty thousand duty."
FARNIIAM.—It is said the crop of hops is never safe until

.aey are picked and dried ; and so it would appear this year,
for where there is a tolerable crop they have been sadly
knocked about by the tempestuous weather which prevailed
from the 15th to the 18th inst.; this must much detract from
the quantity to be picked in the Farnham district ; the wind
was so violent that many branches have been blown off, and
thousands of poles blown down. The picking would have
begun on the 15th generally, but many have waited until the
violence had abated on the 19th. There has been no mould
throughout the year; bu: of the Aphilice, they have now
laid prostrate the foliage of many trees, assisted by the
ed with the decayed and winds. The gardens are carP,'.l
in-
fected leaves, and the poles are as If plain wires were twisted
up them; and this appearance occurs more particularly in
the deep rich learns of the vale of Farmi,.lm, always called
the best grounds in the district.
HEATICFIELD.—The all-absorbing topic of convezlaation at
our market on Thursday last was the wet and boisi:Vrous
state of the weather during that day and the few previoQs
ones, and the consequent havoc and dismantlement of the
hop plantations, whereby each garden, without exception, is
truly emblematical of a field of battle, with the slain,
maimed, and wounded, lying cross and pile in all directions.
The decrease of duty on this account was variously esti-
mated at from 20,0001. to 30,0001., and there were those
who, in consideration of the immediate and premature pick-
ing that must ensue, even ventured an opinion of 40,000/. de-
crease. Mr. James Relf's choice garden of pockets are of.
good condition, and weigh well. One of them weighed 1 cwt.
2 qrs. 27 lbs., and required 66 or 67 bushels to the cwt. Far
different will it be with the backward sorts.
ITORSMONDEN.—The beautiful appearance which our hop-
gardens presented last week has vanished, and a scene of de-
vastation now presents itself, the wind having committed ter-
rible ravages. Thousands of poles are torn down in this
parish, and the crop must be lessened to a great extent.
Picking has become general, but they do not answer the ex-
pectations of the planters, being smaller and difficult to pick,
consequently great difficulty is experienced in supplying the
oasts. Duty here is now estimated at 155,0001.
RYE.—The hop-picking has partially commenced in this
neighbourhood, and in a few days will become general. The
violent gales dttring Tuesday, Wednesday, and 'Thursday last,
did considerable damage. in some of the plantations, and it i;
conjectured will materially affect the duty.
W4DITURST.—The heavy gales of last week
phave
in
our com-
pletely changed the appearance of the ho gardens
neighbourhood : those grounds that a week ago looked like
growing from 10 to 15 cwt. per acre, will now in many in-
stances come down from 7 to 10 cwt. per acre. So great is
the havoc in .our parish, that we think if other plantations are
injured in *portion., the duty must come short of last week's
quotation from 20,0001. to 30,0001. Picking will become
general to-morrow.—Sussex AdOrtiser.

permanent investment in local lines, but the greater number,lwe

A TOBACCO TEMPERANCE SOCIETY.—A Tobacco
Temperance Society has, it Is announced by the Spanish journals,
been formed at Soria, the object of which Is to put an end to
smoking. Persons of all classes, who prove that they have
been constant smokers up to the time of their applications tcr
become members, are admitted, and receive a ticket, on
which is written, " Thou shalt smoke no more ;" and every
infraction of this injunction is subject to a penalty of
13 maravedis (about 15 centimes). To insure the object
of the society, each member is bound to accuse another, if he break
the rule. Every meeting commences with a mutual inspection of
hands, pockets, and clothes, and an olfactory test of the breath, to
be practised by each member upon his neighbour. The produce of the
fines is to be laid out in subscriptions for journals ; but as there are
yet only fourteen members, and the taste of the Spaniards for cigars
and cigarets is so deeply rooted, it can never be expected that thiS

STATISTICS OF THE ORDER OF
THE JESUITS.
There has appeared at Leip zic (says the Constitution-
nel) a very interesting work on " the actual organisa-
tion of the Company of Jesus." The information which
it discloses (founded upon documents, says the writer,
which have been obtained for the majorpart at the prico
of considerable sacrifices, which he was obliged to make
in order to secure their authenticity), upon the position
of the Jesuits in various parts of the world, has never
before been published in so complete a form. The diffe-
rent establishments of the order are variously called.
There are the Houses of Profession, which possess no
property, and in which the father Jesuits—the professed
of the order, live in common. The Residences are esta-
blishments of less importance, and have the right of
possessing property. The Houses, properly so called,
are embryo establishments in countries where the Com-
pany has tried to penetrate. The missions are formed
by isolated Jesuits, who feel their way. A mission be-
comes by degrees, by the adjunction of new members, a
college, or a nursery, for the Company, or a home of
probation, or a residence. The seminaries are the spe-
cial establishments in which the Society gives its theo-
logical instruction. The members may be divided into
three great classes :-Ist, the Priests, amongst whom
are all the professed ; 2d, the Scholars and the Novices ;
and 3d, the Brothers occupied in domestic services and
with the material cares of the establishments. In 1626,
eighty-six years after the foundation, and under its sixth
General, Mutius Vitelleschi, the Company reckoned 29
provinces in Europe, viz., 4 in Italy, 2 in Sicily, 1 in
Sardinia, 5 in Spain, 5 in France, 3 in Belgium, 1 in
Scotland, 1 in Ireland, 5 in Germany, and 2 in Poland.
Out of Europe it had established 5 residences in
the Turkish dominions, 2 provinces in the East
Indies, lin the Philippines, 1 in China, 1 in Japan,
and sin America. These provinces contained 803 esta-
blishments, thus classed :-26 houses of profession, 222
residences, 51 places of probation, 48 seminaries, 542
colleges, and 71 missions. The monopoly of teaching
was then almost everywhere in their hands by means of
the colleges. They nacl ion coll,ge. in Spain, 79 in
France, 91 in Germany, 36 in Belgium, and 29 in Po-
land. The number of members of the Company was
15.493, of whom 13,369 were in the provinces of Europe.
The order continued from year to year to progress. In
1749, they had 89 houses of profession, 669 colleges, 61
places of probation, 176 seminaries, 335 residences, 273
missions. The personnel amounted to 22,589 members,
of whom 11,239 were priests. The documents relative
to the following years are not so complete. On the sup-
pression of the order by Pope Clement XIV., in 1773,
most of those papers were destroyed. Notwithstanding
the Papal bull, the Society continued to exist openly in
Russia. The chiefs, in the interval. and until 1805,
when the order was re-established by a bull of Pope
Pius VII., assumed (instead of the name " General ")
the title of " Vicars-General in White Russia." It is
now forty years since the Company has been re-consti-
tuted in an official manner. Its progress was at first
slow and concealed. Towards the end of the Restora-
tion (of the elder Bourbons) the order was beginning to
raise its head and to assume the boldest attitudes ; but
the revolution of 1830 arrested it in its progress. It dis-
appeared again, waiting till the storm should pass away.
It soon resumed its confidence, and it now openly pro-
claims its intention to reassume all the influence which
it possessed in the days of its splendour. The check
which the popular will, energetically expressed, has just
made it undergo in France, will not discourage it, or
cause it to relinquish its projects. The struggle
will continue under another form. In and out
of Europe the Society of Jesus actually possesses
fourteen provinces—those of Rome, Sicily, Naples,
Spain, Paris, Lyons, Belgium, England, Austria, Ger-
many, Ireland, Maryland, and Missouri. The order
reckoned in these provinces, on the first of January,
1838, 173 establishments, and 3,067 members ; on the
Ist of January, 1841, 211 establishments, and 3,565
members ; on the Ist ofJanuary, 1844, 233 establish-
ments, and 4,133 members. Thus in the space of six
years there has been an increase of sixty establishments
and 1,066 members. In 1844 the increase was still
more rapid. In the seven provinces of Rome, Sicily,
Turin, Paris, Lyons, and Belgium, the only ones con-
cerning which the official accounts has reached Rome,
the order had an accession from the Ist of January,
1844, to the Ist of January, 1845, of 394 new members.
Indeed the reception of new members had become so
numerous, that Father Rothaan, the General of the
Order, has deemed it necessary, in a circular to the
provincials, dated March, 1844, to point out the dangers
of so rapid an increase. The province of Rome reckoned,
on the Ist January, 1845, 702 Jesuits. It is at Rome that
the General of the Order resides, and in that city are con-
centrated the principal establishments. The Company
has there its more important house of profession, and a
college specially destined to form priests fur Germany.
It has besides, at Rome, a college and a residence; a
place of probation, properly so called; a place of proba-
tion of the third degree; a school for noble boarders;
and a seminary where missionaries are brought up for
the Society of the Propagation of the Faith. The other
establishments of the province of Rome are generally
colleges, by means of which the Jesuits have the complete
control of the education of the youths. In the province
of Sicily the order is most flourishing, as also in those of
Naples and Turin. In the province of Spain its estab-
lishments have been disorganised by the political events
of which that country has been made the theatre. On the
Ist of January, 1845, there were 113 Jesuits located in
some of the large towns of Spain. There were besides,
90 Jesuits belonging to the same province, but they had
retired into other countries. This province pos-
sesses a college and residence at Nivelles, in Bel-
gium, and a residence at Aire, in France. This
province has, in South America, residences in
Paraguay, Uruguay, La Plata, the Brazils, New
Granada, and Chili. The province of Paris consists of
Paris and of the North of France. On the Ist of Janu-
ary, 1841, this province contained 291 Jesuits, and on
the Ist of January, 1845, 420 Jesuits. It had residences
and seminaries at Paris, St. Acheul, Strasburg, Nantes,
and many other cities and towns. As the colleges
are not open to them in France, they found one at
the very entrance of the kingdom, viz., at Brugelette,
in Belgium, and it depends on the province of France.
This province has besides missionaries in Canada
and China, and two establishments in North
America. The province of Lyons comprises the
South of France. It contained 290 Jesuits in 1841, and
446 on the Ist of January, 1845. There were residences,
&c., at Lyons, Aix Bordeaux, and the principal towns of
the South. This province had also Jesuits in Algeria,
and missionaries in the East Indies, in the Island of
Madura, on the north-east of Java, in Syria, and in Ma-
dagascar. The province of Belgium is one of the most
flourishing at this moment. There were 319 Jesuits in
1841, and 472 in 1845. They have colleges at Alert,
Antwerp, G and, Brussels, &c. &c., besides residences.
