Curious AND INTERESTING FAcTs.-A cores
pendent has communi :a,ed for our columns,
the following miscellaneous statements.
Europe now contains 227 millions Of inhabi-
tanls, and there appears H. tn, quarter Of the
world, 2,l42 journals of e,roy description; that

ca has SO millions OF inhabi' ants, with 97s
newspapers and periodical journals: that's, one
for every 40 900 inhabi ants, Asia, with $50
millions ofinhabiants has but one journal for
every Ia millions Africa, wi h 60 millions of
Inhabitants, has bu: one journal Tor every five
millions.
BY this view il is 10 be seen that, proportion
ally, the greatest number Of journals appear in
America, the best proof Of the blessings OF a
free press, which canuot fail 10 contribute par
ticularly to The unusual rapid Improvements of
the people Of lha, quarter Of the globe, among
whom the people OF the U States Justly claim
thu first rank.
Since he end Of he las, European war, in the

has increased by 90 millions.
The annual value Of the wines cultivated in
