LoSaEvIrT or THE BRITISH PEERAGE.-Is
has been frequent remark that the average
duration of life of the British Peerage greatly
exceeds that Of the similar class elsewhere
The following supplies another confirmation
of the fact;
The Countess Dowager OF Hardwicke, who
recently died in England at the age of s5, was
the daughter Of the 6fth Earl of Balcarres,
who at the age Of 60 married her mother.
Lady Hardwicke was therefore able 70 saw her
father was engaged in the rebellion Of l713,
lone hundred and forty-three yeart ago,l that
her grandfsther was born in the same year that
Charles the First was beheaded, l649, and that
Chaflcs the Second gave away the bride st her
grandfather's irss marriage"
REDucrfoS oF OrYIcKEs.-It appears that
an agent Of the Treasury Department recently
visited the Baltimore Cus.um-house, examine.

PoPuI.ATIoN OF THE WoRLp.-Herr Die
trich, y distinguished Professor Of the Univsr-
sity Of Berlin. quoted by the Philadelphia Bull
letin, has lately addressed a paper to the Acac-
emy of Science of that city, in regard to the
worlds population. and it is generally agreed
that it is the most carefully prepared and most
reliable work that has yet appeared ON this
subject. After some detailed estimates in re-
gard to the rivc great divisions of the world, he
arrives at the conclusion that its present popu-
lation is about tlrelre hundred and ciqitv-tfrce
millions
This will no doubt account for the Lard
times. and the great difficulty. nowadays, of
making q living! II has generally been SUP
posed that eight hundred millions, or a thou.
sand, at the very outside, was the highest fig
ure of the worlds inhabitants But here comes
this Prussian statistician, with his twelve hun
dred and cighty-threc millions, showing an
amount Of competition for the fruits Of the
| earth, to say nothing of locusts, catcrpillars,
grasshoppcrs, chinchbugs, weavil, &c, &C..
which may well throw faint-hcarted people
into despair. Nor is this the worst of 1t, for
Herr Dietrich calculates that by the end OF this
century the present number of human beings
will have increased to the enormous sum of two
thousand millions Let us be thankful that
we shall not see the end Of tilis century.
The whule estimated population Of the earth,
according 70 our professor Of Berlin, Is % fol-
lows:
Population Of Europe 272.000, 900
Asia 720, ,000, 900
q" America 200. 900, 900
Africa 1000, 900
| Australia, Go 1000, 900
| Total population of The globe 1.2Ss, 900, 900
The Bulletin indulges in \ picture of the
mortality among this vasi human family.
Thus, taking the average annual number Of
deaths - about ono 70 every forty inhabitants.
aRd snppoSing that the earth has, as Herr Die
trich estimates. l.26a. .0eO. 900 inhabitants al
the present time, the number Of deaths in q
year would bc abeut g., ,OOO. 900, which is more
than the entire present population Of The Uni-
tad States. A. the this rate the average num-
Der Of deaths per day is about 1851; the av-
esage per hour about 1855; the average PEI
minute ab0ut 81: Thus at leaxt every second
human life i ended. However, as the births
considerably exceed the deashs, there are prob
ably seventy or eighty hnman beings born pen
minnie. !, Perhaps, after al Herr Dietrich may
have shot wide Of the mark, for it Is admitted
that tha population NJ che world i, in great
measure, only wen rcaaOned eoLjsstaEs.

Ex-PREsIDENT TYLER.-A letter from Old
Point. Va. says:-Ex-President Tyler, having
purchased farm only two miles from the
hotel, spends most of his time here in social
communication with the guests, all of whom
express for him the highest consideration. The
old gentleman eschews politics, and devotes
his attention to agriculture, not scientifically,
but according to the old Virginia principles OF
making all you can this year, and letting the
next take care of itself. His family attend re-
igious worship at the chapel within the fort,
where Mrs. Tyler has her own pew. John
Tyler is now In his 69th year, but looks az
young as when he occupied the Presidential
chair, and is quite as jccular and full Of fun.
He expresses the greatest confidence In poster
ity doing his administration justice. and says
that time and reflection but satisfies him tie
more with every act of bis official life, not one
Of which would he now change had he the
power.

Now Il should be born in mind that the above
comparison Is made between the years 1867
and 1858.
In 1857 thc hands in the several warehouses
had been employed &c several years, ana con-
seaues.tiy ksd become accustomed 10 the Ia
bor in the various departments, When the
present Inspectors came in power, they dis
cnrieti the "better citizens" and employed
American labor, the result Of which, as will
bc seen by the above statement, is n0e at all
Jiscreditable 10 the latter. True, the present
employees were unacca4oined to warehouse
labor, yet the result shows a much larger
amcslnt cf labor performed during the first
quarter Of 1858 than during the corresponding
Pcriod Of 1857. So much then foE this
charge.
The charge made by the Advocate, "that
Iayoitism in the Inspections will be shown for
. money consideration" Is met by q plump
denial, and the proof Of the charge Is boldly
challenged. awe deny" say the inspectors,
''that . single cent has been received for in
specting t,bacco, other than tue law allows"
II Is admitted that many members of the differ
snt clubs Of Baltimore have been employed in
ihe several Warehouses, and the Inspectors
claim for these gentry at least the negative
uacrit Of not stealing the Tobacco. They ex-
press themselves upon this point as follows:
We 10 not feel ourselves called upon to de-
Iend the various clubs Of the city Of Baltimore.
yet we viii take occasion to say that, although
many Of their members have teen employed in

A BOLD, But BEAUTIFUL FIoUHE-During
the delivery Of sermon in st. Patrick's Catho-
lie church, at Washington D. c., the speaker,
Rev. Francis X. Boyle, made use of the follow
ing beautiful figure in connection with the
Atlantic telegraph:
"What is it, after all, when compared with
the instantaneous communication between the
throne of Divine Grace and the heart of man :?
Offer up your silent petition for grace 1t is
transmitted through realms of unmeasured
space more rapidly than the lightnng's flash,
and the answer reaches the soul ere the PRAYER
has died away on the sinners lips. Yet this
telegraph. performing it saving functions ever
since Christ died for us On Calvary, fills not the
world with exultation and shouts Of gladness-
with illuminations aud bondEires and boom =
ing Of cannon. The reason is, one is the tele-
graph Of this world. and may produce wonder
full revolutions on earth; the other is the sweet
communion between Christ and the Christian :
soul. and will secure glorious immortality in
heaven"

a way which was caution to peace disturbers.
They are about everywhere, especially active
in preserving order OH the Sabbath, and, in
walking the streets of London. it is difficult
to be beyond the sight OF call Of policeman.
As they are retained during good behaviour,
and are not subject to political change, and do
not feel ANXIOUS about offending pot-hou.e
politicians. or hesitate to refuse TO fraternize
with drunken rowdics, they are doubly efficient,
and are ever prompt in the discharge of duty.

sa DEATH FROM THE GROWING or ToE-NArI..
A man lately died in Boston, from the effects

we presume is meant that frequent occurrence
Of the corner of the nail growing into the over
lying flesh. in consequence of wearing shoes or
boots too tight. We have known cases of ex-
cruciating suffering arising from this cause;
and only last week We rode down town in COM

a toe that had become inhamed from the cor
ner of the nail growing into the flesh. Now
to prevsnt this di6culty. Do not cut away the
offending corner of the nail, ~ is usually done
very short, but cut notch in the centre, quite
down to the quick, aud keep that notch there
until the difficulty is cured, which will some
times be with the first cutting. The philoso-

arch, and naturally changes the curvature Of
the nail, and makes the corners turn up instead
