This island is at present the object Of general at
tention. The following items respecting its dimen-
sions, population, and productions, will be read
with interest They are taken by the New Orleans
Bulletin from De Bows Review

the Island of Pines, $40 square geographical miles,
or OF square English miles; and TO the other
,290 square English miles. Total Of the Island of
Cuba and its dependencies, AZ 1877 square English
miles.
1.-The length of the island, in the shortest line from
cast TO west, s $50 miles. In its narrowest part,
the island is 20 miles broad. In the broadcast part,
it is 1856 miles wide. At this particular time, 1t is
desirable to know the relative position Of Cuba, and
its distance from other points From the southern
part Of Florida 10 the most northern part of Cuba
the distance is ll3 miles. The distance from the
extreme southwest point of Cuba TO the nearest
point of Yucatan is 1872 miles the eastern point Of
Cuba is 40 miles from the nearest point Of Hayti,
and the nearest distance between Cuba and ia
maica is 81 miles.
elm regard to the population, the statistical infor-
nation is likewise detective but not as much so
now as formerly. The returns of the white class
may be relied upon, for the Government has ample
means insure the correctness of this portion Of
the census, and it's registration system, applied
to the whites, is well organized. Not so with the
class of slaves. The returns doubtless incor-
rect for the interest of the planters and their fears
of taxation tempt them 20 conceal the real number
of their slaves. With the other class enumerated
in the census there is likewise incertitude, owing
TO the fact that many in the habit of enrolling
themselves as white who had previously been

Jexish Celebration at NEW Oriean..

The beautiful new Synagogue on Canal street
was thronged yesterday with the sons of Ierael,
sembed to celebrate that great event, the spiritual
birth of this ancient people, the delivery Of the ten
commandments to Moses. The galleries were filed
with bright array of dark-gancing daughters Of
Judah, and many persons not Of the religion at
tended to witness the, TO them, novel ceremonies
The prayers were read, and the ceremony OF ele-
waiting the scroll of the ten commandments was per-
formed by the Rev Mr. Nathan. At the conclu-
sion Of the ceremonies the Rev. Mr. Lesser, OF Phil
adelphia, delivered able and interesting discourse
on the duty of the Jews to maintain with more ex-
acness, and cultivate with more assduty, the rites
and ceremonies of their ancient religion. He also
gave very full, lucid, and elaborate exposition Of
the leading points in their religion In his dis
course, Mr.. Lesser referred In handsome terms, TO
the hberaty of worthy son OF Israel, who had
bestowed upon them the magnificent edifice in
which they worshpped.
We noticed that the venerable and benevolent old
gentleman referred to, (Mr Judah Touro,) was
present. This gentleman, short time ago, was
in city He is now the proprietor OF Mr.. Clapps

has afforded to that congregation for many years
past He was also the owner OF the present church

the absence of water, it did not differ materially

stated fact not generally known, that the jews
consider as the first commandment the verse which
the Christians deem the prologue:
