they have adopted and avowcd he principle Of
heresy in their symbolical books ami in their

The above figures were obtained from the
Catholic Bishop, an intelligent Jewish Rabbi,
ministers of the Gospel, and other parties who
hold such relations to their several churches as
enables them to give intelligent information,
and. although not in every case transcribed
from the records, yet they may be relied upon
as a very near approximation TO the truth.
The total number in full and regular stand.
inc in the churches Of Richmond, as seen above,
IS l5.S 500. equal to "a per cent. upon the whole
population or one to erery thrfe-a proportion
which we believe does not find parallel in
anv city Of its size, or larger, in this country.
If we are correctly informed, the average pro
portion throughout the United States is one to
every seven
At or about twelve years of age, ctHdren are
presumed to have sufficient intelligence to un'
ders,and the obligations of n religious profes-
sion. BY reference to the United States cen.
sus of 1850, it will be seen that in the State Of
Virginia Sc per cent. of the whole population
was under II years Of age; and assuming the
same ratio for Richmond now, the white and
colored OF - years old and upward, number
Is 500 of whom l5,405, or SO per cent, are
full church members.
The white PRoTEsTANTS of ~ years and over,
number Is, 232, of which I, 1863, or47 per cent,
are in full church communion. The ROMAN
CA7uoLlcs, Of l2 years and over, number 2,6sS,
of which 400, or 80 per cent, are in regular
communion. The JEWS, Of - years and over,
number $50, all Of whom have been confirm.
ed and are. therefore, i'll full membership
The coloRED population OF IL years and over
number 6, 600 Of which $3.50, or CO per cent,
are in full church communion.
In connection with the different religious
divisions Of our population and the various re-
licious and benevolent societies usual IN chris
fan communities, such as Sunday Schools,
Bible Tract, Missionary and Humane Socie
ties. Orphan Asylums, Parochial and other
Charity Schools, in some OF which several de-
nominations Join with benevolent persons who
are members OF none, and others are strictly
denominational-all Of which are in u greater
or less degree Of prosperity. The Christian
benevolencc of our city provides SO well
for the support and education Of the or
phan and the poor, Of our white popu'
lation, that none ure allowed to suffer ior
the want Of either. Beggars are rarely seen
in our streets. and such as do occasionally
present themselves are generally strollers from
abroad. The sick and infirm among the slave
colorcd, are taken care Of by their owners.
This they are bound to do, not only by moral
obligation but by law; and the public senti-
mcnt in reference to this is such, that il there
wcrc no law the owners would be compelled to
take care Of them.
SUNDAY. SCHOOLS.
VIZ have the same authority for the follow
ing Sunday school statistics, as We have Tor the
Church statistics above:

an, Episcopal Church, and Seamens Bethel,
are also So far in progress as to have secured
large subscriptions towards their erection
The - edifices now occupied as places oil
worship, will scat 1850 persons. Allowing as
the capacity Of the four colored churches 1900
seats and this is probably not too large num-
Der, as one OF the churches is quite large; there
remain 10000 for our white population
Our whites number $4,000 from which, II
there he deducted 1900 children under five
years Of age, and also us many more persons
who are necessarily absent from sickness, IN.
firIuty and other causes, 1t is seen that our
white churches now have, within 1000 sit
tinrs sufficient capacity to seat at the same
time the remaining white population. Ad-
ding the churches and session rooms OF such
of our white churches, as are appropriated IN
the afternoon Of the Sabbath day, to the use OF
our coored people, to the 1000 seats in their
own churches, it will be seen that this portion
Of our population is also well provided with

man assembled the throne, rs next heir
AS is TOO common in Europe. the Young
Emperor commenced his reign bv issuing
n proclamation to his subjects, full OF pro
mises. Under this rule Austria was TO
have freedom and constitutional form
OF government-the monarchy was TO be
reformed-the people were TO have equal.
ity Of government on the basis CE true
Liberty, and on the basis OF their equal
participation !n the representation and
legislation. Scarcely Was is signature
dry on this document, when he closed the
national rep' esen;a,iye assembly met at
Kremsier; cancelled the ancient constitu

charter which. being dead letter, was
Withdrawn in eighteen months; called
OF the aid OF the late Emperor of Russia
to crush all vitality OF Freelom in Hun

attempts at liberty in Lombardy and We

TIE SELECTION OF WIrE.-Sam
Slick, in his late 'sNying,' gives some ad-
vice about the selection Of a wife. Says
he:
Don't marry too poor gal, for they
are ap: to think there is no end TO hus-
band puss nor too rich gal, for they
are too apt to remind you of it-onpleas-
ant sometimes nor too eiddy gal, for
they negec; their families, nor too de.

give YOU the dodge, race off, and leave :;

RusTIc IGNoRANcE.-A clergyman
was appointed to cure of souls in an
agricultural district, and ad TO deal with
population scanty in number, stolid and
contented in their nature, who, so long as
their bacon served their cabbage, and
their cabbage served their bacon, slept
calmly aad snored soundIy through his
most rousing sermons. One evening he
visited an old woman, who had not, in.
deed, led very exemplary life, but was
still cheerful and uurepen,ant at the age
Of threescore and ten. After some little
talk he read to her the description of th O.
cruclhxion and the scenes previous to il.
She listened very atlentiveIy and moaned
audlbly, and at last fair ~ cried. He was
naturally pleased at such proof of the
power of his ministry, and, unwilling to
weaken the effect, closed the book in
silence. The old lady continued wiping
her eyes with the corner of her apron
Deed, sir, it's all vera sad, I'm sure
But she added brisk'y, as though snd.
den thought had occurred, let's hope l's
not true.'-London Star.
