The above includes all who are actually known
as protesting and following the religion of their
forefathers. 1t is impossible ascertain the
Der of those residing in Catholic countries and con
cealing their religion from motives Of policy. The
number IN Spain who preferred outwardly embrac-
ing the Catholic faith to avoid Punishment under
Ferdinand and Isabella, is several hundred thou
sands, and are at this day connected with the first
families in Spain and Portugal. In Asia and the
Turkish domnons, have made an estimate
rather below their actual number. They are pow
erfu in China, and the borders of Tartafy; like
wise in Persia and the countries bordering on the
Indian Ocean. In Abyssna and Ethiopia there
are many communities of black Jews and they
have separate congregation at Calcutta.
The number OF the Jewish people dispersed IN
every part of the world will surprise no who
takes into consideration that for the last four hun
dred years they have been in a measure exempt
from those prosecutions which they suffered prior
to the reformation; nor have they been included
in the various wars which have for several hun
dred years desolated Europe and Asia. Naturally
pacific people, adherng at very early age to
their International marriages, exceedingly tenn
perate in living, and constltutiOnally active and
energetic, their self-augmenting population from
these causes must greatly have increased their
numbers, and warrant the belief that they are at
this time as numerous as they were in the pdlmy
days OF David and Solomon.
There is another error in your paragraph which
it may be we'll also to notice at this time. You
state that the number of Jews has never material
y varied from three Millions from the time Of Da-
vid downwards. Very nearly that number has
been exterminated by wars and violence, from
what may be considered the commencement OF
their national troubles.

BUSINESS PaosPEcrs OF THE LEGITIMATE DRAMA.
--VAUDsvILLE-MUsc-TH OpERA.-The legiti.
mate drama continues to go down-dowr-down
This has been the tendency Of it for considerable
time past, and scarcely a respectable vesige Of IT
remains In this country at the present moment.
lts not at all difficult to explain this melancholy
phenomenon. Much of the hard fortune of the
drama in this latter day, is TO be attributed to the
conduct of the heroes Of the sock and buskin them
selv 8. We have had one set of Thesplans, claim
ing for themselves exclusive right and title TO dra-
matte empire, setting themselves up the tip-top
Of respectable society, and looking on none with
more sovereign contempt than on their poor bre-
thren Of the profession who had not succeeded so
well as themselves in ascending the ladder of poe
ularlty or assurance, as the might be. We
have had this set thus treating with and con-
tumey their professional brethren, and playing of
all sorts of antics, exciting the ridcule or pity of
the spectator whilst at the other end Of the profess
sion we have had another and larger set, grovel-
ling in the mrc of vice and poverty. Between the
two, the poor legitimate drama has been reduced
TO its present iicketty, asthmatlc condition
The folly, stupidity, ignorance, and want of prn-
cipe on the part of many of the theatrical mana
gers has also had great share in the degradation of
the legitimate drama. But one of the chief causes
has been the great change in the public taste. The
public havelo their relish for witnessing the dull
and tedious representation OF five act tragedies.
They now prefer the light, amusing, graphic sketch
es of society, of the ioes Of the day, of the me
and manners of the time, which are produced at
the small theatres. Vandeviles, farces, petit come.
DIV, these are the dramatic productions for which
nova days there is market, and in this city and
throughout the Union this species Of dramatic en-
tertainment has become universally popular and
profitable.
Music and the ballet too, have now been fairly
established as the most popular species OF entertain
ment Fanny Elssler at once created a taste 10
the higher order of dancing and the ballet, which
nothing can now repress; and in music, Ole Bull ha
excited perfect mania. He has succeeded 10
most extraordinary extent. Italian Opera also hal
been established permanently in this city, aud new
direction has been thus gwen 10 the popular taste
which will be as enduring as it is classical and re-
fined.
