The New Orleans Delta says:-Not the least of
the many disasters produced last summer by the
crevasse on the west bank of the river, is the des
truction of the oyserbeds in the Bay and Bayou of
Barratara, which have long been the chief resource
and dependence of our oyster dealers. Every day
since the oyster season has opened, the extent Of
this damage becomes more manifest. The enor-
nous body of Mississippi water which has been forced
through these outlets to the Gulf, has left thick
and heavy deposit of sediment, that has proved like
the water for poor Ophelia, ''too much of mud'
for the poor crustacea.

Upon this result the Protestant Charchman COM
ments as follows:
In TIA there were only nineteen priests in the
the United States (then colonies. In 1890 there
was one bishop and twenty priests. In ls00 two
bishops and about forty priests. In ls0S two bsh
ops and sixty-eigbt priests. From lsOS to 1880 no
details are given, but in the latter year the number
had increased to 10 bishops, 232 priests and 230
churches Ii will therefore be seen that during
the last thirty years the number of doceses has in
creased from IL to 43; the number of bishops from
10 to 45; the number of priests from 2S2 to 2,l0S;
the number of churches from 230 to 2,334.
Descending to details, we find that the most rap
id growth has been in the Western States the dio-
cese of Milwaukee, for instance, having lS9
churches, while New York has but rs, Philadelphia
l53, Boston s5, New Orleans 73. The diocese of
Cincinnati, organized at a comparatively recent
date compared with that of Baltimore, has l23
churches, while Baltimore has only SO. The do
of Buffalo, organized only some ten years ago,
has one of the finest cathedrals on the continent,
and l02 churches In the archbshopric of st.
Louis, containing the dioceses of St Louis, Alton,
Chicago, Dubuque, Milwaukee, Nashville, Santa
Fe, st. Paul and Kansas, there are 500 churches,
while in the archbishopric Of New York, compris-
ing New York, Albany, Boston, Brooklyn, Buffalo,
Burlington, Hartford, Newark and Portland, there
are but SIG.

THE HETINUE OF THE BRITIsH CoURT.-It appears
that the number ofindviduals employed in the per-
sonal service of Her Majesty, exclusive of hunts
men, whippers-in, &C., not enumerated in the de-
partment of the Master of the Horse s as follows
In the department of the Lord Steward lG7; in the
department of the Lord Chamberlain, 635: in the
department of the Master of the Horse, 1l9; total
92l. Imposing as is this array there must be ad-
ded to it the household of the Prince Consort which
consists of groom of the stole, a treasurer pri-
vate secretary, two lords of the bedchamber clerk
marshal, three equeries in ordinary, and an equery
extraordinary, two grooms of the bedchamber four
chaplans in ordinary, and a chaplain at Osborne,
librarian, two gentlemen ushers, two physicians in
ordinary, and two extraordinary, four surgeons in
ordinary, two surgeon dentists, and an apothecary
and gentleman rider; besides an army agent to re-
ceive his pay, and solicitor to conduct his tiga-
tion. Adding these the household functionaries
muster 955 strong. In Scotland and Ireland there
are two more royal households. The first of these
consists of keeper ofthe great seal, lord privy
seal, lord clerk registrar, lord advocate, lord
Justice clerk, an hereditary grand constable a
knight marischa an hereditary master ofthe house
hold, an hereditary standard bearer, an hereditary
armor bearer and squire of the royal body (Lady
Seyton Stewart), an hereditary carver, an heredi-
tary cup bearer, hereditary usher (heirs of the
late Sir Patrick Waker), historiographer, three
physicians in ordinary and physician accoucheur,
three surgeons in ordinary, two surgeon dentists,
two chemists and druggists, cupper in ordinary
and an ocuist, three deans and six chaplains, six
hereditary keepers of palaces (nearly all mere ru-
ins), and body guard of royal archers, commanded
by captaingeneral three lieutenant generals and
four major-generals. The Irish household, which is
formed on the English model, has among its func-
tonaries two persons described as "gentlemen at
large" whose duties must be left to the imagina-
ton. If three-fifths of the household proper were
also made Hgentlemen and ladies at large" in the
ordinary meaning of the phrase, Her Majesty would
be much better served and vastly more comfortable.

LATEST FROM CENTRAL AMERICA.

The brig Caroline, Captain J. Potter from As
pinwal December Z, arrived at New York early on
Friday morning. The Caroline anchored off Sandy
Hook on Thursday evening-making the passage
home in sixteen days, and bringing advces three
days later than those received by the Moses Tay-
lor.
Business at Aspinw all was uncommonly brisk and
everybody seemed to be occupied; quite large
number of vessels were lying in the harbor.
At the time that the Caroline left the United
States store ship Relief weighed anchor and set
sail for New York.
The British South Pacific steamer had not ar
rived at Panama at the time of the departure the
Caroline, but was hourly expected

the day before the G. sailed but brought no news
of interest Some distinguished parsonage arrived
by it, and was Immediately taken on shore by the
boat of the United States flag ship Roanoke, Com
modore Mcintosh, then lying at Aspnwall.
The British steam frigate Vaorous had not ar
rived with Sir William Gore 0useley, but was ex-
pected with considerable interest. On his arrival
Sir Gore will have an interview with Commodore
Mcintosh, after which he will proceed across the
lsthmus to Panama, where the British steamer
Alert awaits to receive him. He is to proceed to
Costa Rlca to have diplomatic confab with Presi-
dent Mora. He next visits President Guardiola, OF
Honduras, relative to the retrocession Of the Bay
Islands to that republic.
The Caroline had her forsail and foretopsail rent
in the gale of Wednesday last.
The thermometer in the shade off Cape Florida,
ON Friday last, was eightysix degrees, which Cap
tain Potter thought remarkable for the present sea
of the year. Captain p and had to don their
lightest garments, and on deck were at that uncom
fortably warm.
