SPANISH STATISTICS,

Spain has been looked upon as a
used up country. Statistical returns,
however, of tho population tell a diff.
fercnt story. Spain is about twice the
size Of the State Of Missouri, but on
this area it has nearly fifteen times the
population of that State, nearly fifteen
and half millions. There are four
cities in the kingdom whose popula.
ton exceeds 100000; Madrid being
the largest, and numbering 2e1, ,l70.
There ale five cities having popula.
ton ranging from 100000 to 70,009.-
Spain's imports grew from 33,000,O00
III 1850 to 77,000,O0O in 1859. There
are in Spain 42l English miles of rail-
roads finished, $40 miles in progress,
and ! $50 more authorized. There are
also s,oss miles Of telegraph in opper.

for 1859 was estimated at S122 100000,
the total expenditures S123, 0,000.-
About 100000 Of her children are in
Schools. The number of religious
functionarics has been reduced. A
hundred years ago they were estimated
at near 100000, or one to 43 OF
the population. Now they count
about $4,000, or l to 275.

that l have resolved to spend portion
of the summer with him amid it's genial

poet represents as emigrating from
Canada and taking up their abode
under our cleaning Southern suns.
These people all speak the Frencl,
