This is probably too low an estimate with re-
spect both TO numbers of clergy and amount of
remuneration. The tables which we here use
are found in the Encyclopaedia Americana; they
are not sufficiently comprehensive TO allow OF
satisfactory calculation, with reference to many
nations. It may generally be remarked that the
Catholics have more clergymen in proportion to
their lay members, than have the Protestan's: yet
the former pay about twenty cents per annum,
and the latter nearly one dollar per annum to
support their clergy. S. Gazette.
