Religious Papers.

The inquiry has sometimes been made
how the present newspaper wal affects
the rclig GUS papers? To this it may lie
replied that these papers lave a war of
their own which renders them indifl;er-
cnt to the secular press. ] mean by this
that thy are under a severe rivalry
whose intensity, indeed, is continually
increasing. There are 1wenty-one re-
ligious papers published weekly in this
city, besides Sunday-school issues and
periodicals. The Methodists, the Re
formed and the Swedenborgian, each
have one. the latter being a very small
affair. The Baptists, the Episcopalians
and the Presbyterians each have two.
The Roman Catholics and the Congre-
gationalists each have three, while the
Jews have four, the latter being Of lin
tied circulation. There are also two
others which claim to be independent.
The most profitable of the numb4r are
probably the Christian A3,o ate, and
the OJ,scyrer. The Eeauge1isl is also on
a paying basis. The mi pendent
(Bowen's paper) was severely injured
by the Brooklyn scandal. and has never
fully recovered. The others have each
its patronage, differing according to
danominational power, but owing to
competition the profits are very small.
There will be no more religious paaers
started in a long time. The amount of
capital thus invested is very large, and
the O6strcer alone is estimated at $780,
600. Bowen onc valued tie Iud,pcna-
cnt at d still higher figure, but his esti-
mate is probably lower at present The
Evangelist is worth S1CO,000. and the
aggregate capital represented in the re-
ligious press Of this city is not ie IS than
a million.-N. Y. Cor. Eticu Hsrusd {.
