Of the farm are squandered to put on their

INTERESTING sTArisrics.-The whole mum
Der oflanguages spoken in the world amounts 10
3.O64, viz 507 in Europe, 937 in Asa, ZIG in
Africa, and 1864 in America. The inhabi-
tants Of our globe profess more than ! 900 diff
terent religions. The number of men il about
equal to the number Of women. The average
of human life is about 80 years. One-fourth
half before reaching II years of age, and those
who pass tina, age enjoy felicity % refused to
oae-half the human species. To every 1000
persons, only one reaches lU0 years of age ; to
every loo. only six reach the age Of &c, and not
more than one in 500 lives to so years Of age.
There on the earth ,0O0, O0e, 900, inhabi.
tants, and of these 333, 333, 333 die every year,
81 ,34 every day, 3,73u every hour, So every
minute, or one every second. These losses are
about balanced by an equal number of births.
The married are longer lived than the single,
and, above all, those who observe sober and
industrious conduct. Tall men live longer
than short ones Women have more chances
Of life in their favor previous to being SO years
Of age, than men, but fewer afterwards.
The number oil marriages is in prop ,rtion Of
l75 toevery 1000 individuals. Marriages are
more frequent after the cquinoxes-that is, du,
rim the months Of June and December
Those born in the spring are generally more
robust than otllers. Births and deaths are more
frequent by night than by day. The number Of
men capable Of working or bearing arms is cal
culated at one fourth Of the population.
Some of these statements are rather singular,
and yet many Of them are susceptible Of an
easy solution. That marriages take place more
frequently in June and December, Than any
other months Of the year, was just what We have
always suspected was the case. Those who
marry in June do so because they cant help it
while those who connubialize in December do
50 doubtless to guard against the chilly pillows
which distinguish the frost-bitten months Of
winter. The matches which come off in June
are commonly love-matches, and are brought
about BY green fields, and the contagious infu-
ence Of bobolinks and yellow birds while those
which happen in December are brought about,
in degree, by mixing plain mathematics with
the market value of flannel under-garments.-I

TRAHsAcTIoS or The RorHscHILDs-A re-
cent writer gives somes vesy interes ing particu-
lars upon this subject:
ain twelve years about Eve hundred million
dollars were raised BY the house for different
powers, by the way Of loan or subsidy, which
were distributed in nearly the following proper
tons:
For England two hundred millions; Austria,
fifty millions; Prussia, forty millions; France,
eighty millions Naples, fifty millions; Russia,
twenty FIVE millions, for several German Courts
four millions; Brazil, twelve millions exclusive
of various other large sums. The remarkable
success Of the Rothschilds, setting aside the
great opportunities they have enjoyed from
favorable circumstances, may be attributed to
their strict adherence to two fundamental max :
inns. The first of these in compliance with the
dying injunction Of the founder of the house, is
the conducting of their operations entirely in
common. Every proposition Of magnitude
made to one Of them is submitted to the deli0-
erations Of all. No project is adopted unit
thus fully discussed and is then executed BY
united efforts. A second principle is, not t
aim at exorbitant profits to set definite limits t
every operation, and, 50 far as human prudence
and foresight can DE-, 10 render it Independent
Of accidental influences In this maxim lie
one Of the main secrets of their strength"

OF this quantity, large proportion is shipped a,

The New York Times, of yesterday, publishes
number three Of serie of "Democratic Let
tiers on European Matters and American Poll
cy" which, it is reported and not denied by the
Times, are from the pen of no less man than
KossurH. We make the following extract
from the one published yesterday, which will
be found OF interest, as indicating the probable
turn Of affairs in the East

fleets thus he let's the combined feet anchor
where it pleases and will but take MoIdavia

Well, were the English government little
more intelligent, a littleness aristocratic, would
be obvious for to says "Why, against that
Russian plot or navy is of no avail, of course !;
and we can't dispatch, the camp of Gotham to
Bucharest !; but there are the Hungarians, they
can assist Turkey and save her." That would
be an obvious course. Every child might hit
the nail /; but the English Government, with
its habitcal stolid short sight edress is making
every exertion to the contrary, and takes out
with her aristocratic fingers, the chestnuts from
the embers of Russia, Is growing big with the
stupid ideas Of "Austria's neutrality" and gio
rying in the assertion that Austria will not go
i full length with Russia. As if the pernicious
idea Of neutral Austria were not more than
going the full length with Russia-more, be-
cause it is the only means of preventing Tur-
key from putting in activity the only auxiliary
element which might save her, by assisting bel
there, where all the marantime power Of En-
gland and France, is of no avail and that ele-
ment is a revolution in Hungary, which is no
for Turkey to make but it is for her not t.
prevent by accepting the internal imposition o
Austrirn neutrality.
In another part Of the the letter, the writer says:
/, alt is reported that LOUIS NAPOLEON, having
