In the different States of Germany. In Holland and Belgium... ..... Sweden and Denmark, . France. ind Wea In the Mahometan States of Kurope, Asia and Afric: oe Persia, China and Hind 6,471,000 ‘The above includes all who are actually known as professing and following the religion of their forefathers. It is impossible to ascertain the num- ber of those residing in Catholic countries and con cealing their religion from motives of policy. The number in Spain who preferred outwardly embrac- ing the Catholic faith to avoid banishment under ‘erdinand isabella, is several hundred thou- sands, and are at this day connected with the first families in Spain and Portugal. In Asia and the Turkish dominions, I have made an estimate rather below their actual number. They are pow- erful in China, and on the borders of Tartaty; like- wise in Persia and the countries bordering on the Indian Ocean. In Abyssinia and Ethiopia there are many communities of black Jews, and they have a separate congregation at Calcutta. The number of the Jewish people dispersed in every part of the world will surprise no one who takes into consideration that for the last four hun- dred years they have been in a measure exempt from those persecutions which they suffered prior to the reformation; nor have they been included in the various wars which have for several hun- dred years desolated Europe and Asia. Naturally a pacific people, adhering at a very early age to their international marriages, exceedingly tem- perate in living, and constitutionally active and energetic, their self-augmenting population from these causes must greatly have mecreased their numbers, and warrant the belief that they are at this time as numerous as they were in the palmy Cie of David and Solomon. .. Chere is another error in your paragraph which it may be well also to notice at this time. You state that the number of Jews has never material- ly varied from three millions, from the time of Da- vid downwards. Very nearly that number has heen exterminated by wars and violence, from what may be considered the commencement of their national troubles, According to Josephus and cotemporary writers, there were slaughtered in Cesuria, by the Sy.

Under all these calamities and oppressions, the Jews like those vivatious plants which can resist the intemperance of all seasons, have been by divine interposition, enabled to sustain themselves amidst so many appalling obstacles, and have found in the strength of their laws, new principles of existence In pursuing the inquiry as to their numerical force, much interesting information has been ob- tained as to their various pursu and it is grati- fying to learn that agriculture, their original occu- pation, claims a great jvetiban of their attention. The plains of Ninevah, Greece, Persia, Egypt, Lithunia, Ukraine and Moldavia, are full of Jewish agriculturalists; they are, it is said, the best culfi- vators of the grape in Turkey; in all parts of the East they are dyers, workers in silk, weavers and blacksmiths ; in ‘Poland they are farmers, curriers, Jace weavers, potters and silversmiths; and al- ce the great body of the nation are atill en- gaged in trade and commerce in every quarter of the world, with undiminished success, theypare ne- vertheless receiving a more liberal education, are cultivatiog a taste forthe arts, many are pursuing the more enlightened and acientific professions with reputation, and are instituting reforms in the ceremonial parts of their religion, without invading any et its cardinal principles. ze Ith is not generally or equally diffused among the Jews, but the aggregate of their possessions constitutes them by tar the most wealthy people on earth, and the enormous proportions are so located as to secure a very decided influence in the move- ments of every nation, making them, in a measure, the arbitrators of very important movements. ,_ Although the Jewish people are entirely passive in relation to their restoration, and waiting the great advent with the same patience and humility which they have evinced for the last eighteen hun- dred years, relying with unabated confidence on the [sit ang and protection of that divine power which jas ever been near them and with them, neverthe- less there has been no period in their history in which Christians generally have taken more inte- rest in their temporal and religious welfare, than they evince at the present time. This is the provi- dential prelude to great events;—they know too little of each other; and a closer approximation, a mutual surrender of, prejadices, and a greater reli- ance of Christians upon what constituted primitive Christianity, will at once show how slender is the line that dividesus. I cannot avoid believing that the great triwmphs reserved for Christianity will be in their agency and co-operation in restoring the Jews io they ancient heritage, for it cannot be po- letically accomplished without ‘their aid, and if ‘the second advent so called, and 80 ardently desired by prour Christians, is ever to come to pass, it cannot, 1 ‘ardly conceive, take place until after the restoration ts accomplished, and there is, a throne to be occumed, @ nation to be governed, and the prophecies led.

James Gorpon Bennett, Esq.— Sm :—We continue to enjoy the most complete political calm, and nothing appears likely to dis- turb it in this part of the world. The state of Italy and Turkey, indeed, is such as to render a catas- trophe of some kind inevitable, the people of those countries having been driven to desperation by the most execrable misgovernment ; and the last ac- counts from Rome and Constantinople, render it not at all improbable that both the Pope and the Sultan (arcades ambo) may be sent to the right about in the course of the year, and have to pass their next carnival at Venice, like the seven mo- narchs mentioned in ‘* Candide.” But all this is taking place at too great a distance to excite ad particular interest among the good folks of Berlin, whose attention has for some time been quite absorbed by railroad speculations. All the world has been mad after shares in railways of every possible denomination, tn esse and in ‘posse ; not a soul but what has been dabbling in them, to the great detriment of all legitimate business. Of Prussian railways, there are now about ten, either completed or in a state of great forwardness. Most of their shares bear a high prempicinys the highest being those of the road rom Madgeburg to Leipsic, that were issued at one hundred Prussian dollars each, and are worth now one hundred and ninety-three, wii a tendency to rise. This is owing to the great traffic on the above route, which has enabled the company to pay a half yearly dividend of seven and a half per_cent, besides the annual interest of four perceat. The Government has guaranteed the interest on several roads at three and a half per cent, and the additional security this affords has induced many to invest their capital in shares, in- stead of applying it to other purposes. Besides the railways already in operation, upwards of twenty new ones have been projected, and it is the wild speculation in the shares of such as have not even had their charters granted by government and whose existence is quite problematical, that I am now alluding to. The spirit of jobbing has seized upon the whole community ; bargains on time to amounts far more considerable than the sum total of all the railroad shares extant, have been entered into on "Change. where the excitement is such as to remind one o' the Stock Exchanges of London and New York, or the Bourse at Paris. The shares generally rise at the beginning of the month, and fall towards the end, when the settling day arrives. During the month of March considerable fluctuations took places and something of a crash was apprehended, ut it fortunately happened that a rise occurred in the very nick of time, so that differences were more easily regulated than might have been ex- pected. ‘ . Meanwhile new schemes are continually appear- ing for starting railroads in all directions, and the eagerness with which proposals of this kind are re- ceived, is such, that no sooner ate the subscription lists opened, than the actual amount required is generally exceeded, by subscriptions in the propor- uon of 25to 1. There are instances where two and a halt millions of Prussian dollars have been wanted for a road, and upwards of fifty mullions subscribed ; and the shares being generally of one hundred dollars each, a person subscribing 20,000 dollars would not get more than 1000 dollars, or ten 100 dollar shares. The latter, it is expected, will bear a premium as soon as the different com- panies are chartered by Government; and, in that case, the speculators are in hopes of realizing a profit by selling off their shares before a call is made for the firet instalment. {f the contrary should happen, and the shares be at a discount, great havoo will ensue among the unlucky subscri- bers, a great part of whom have not the remotest intention of taking to their shares, and would not be able to pay the first instalment, even if only ten per cent were called for. A day or two ago, how- ever, a notice was published by the Minister of Fi- nance, that no charters will be granted tor some os to any railroads excepting such as have een already authorized, or may be found ab- solutely necessary; that no other plans will be acceded to; and that all subscriptions on them will, consequently, be of no effect. It is reported, too, that government will issue an ordinance, sta- ting that no debt originating from differences in such shares can be recovered in a legal way, and that the courts of justice are to take no cognizance of any suit instituted for these claims. A similar law was long since enacted in England, and there ts every reason to believe that it will put a stop to these wild speculations. You are of course aware of a treaty having been concluded with the United States, by the German commercial league,(Zollverein, according towhich the duty on American tobacco, imported into the states of the League isto be reduced, and the goods manutactured in, and exported from these coun- tries are to be admitted into your republic at a duty not exceeding twenty percent. This treaty was signed about the end ot last month by the Prussian minister for foreign affairs, Baron Bulow, for the Zollverein, and Mr. Wheaton, the American minis. ter at the Court of Berlin, as the representative oi your government. Mr. Fay, the secretary of lega- tion, left this on the 27th ult. on his way to Lon- don, from whence the treaty will be forwarded to Washington, to be ratitied by the President. I can hardly think that it will be productive of any ma- terial benefit to either party, as a trifling reduction in the duty will have but fittle eflect on the qua uty of tobacco used ; a larger profit may accrue to the manufacturer, but the consumer will have to pay the same or very nearly the same price as be- fore. As to the exports of German manufactures, those of cotton, linen, and silk, will have to. compete in the markets of the United States with the manufactures of England, France and Belgium, and they will not find it an easy task to eclipse such formidable rivals. By the last ac- counts you gave us, the duties on the latter in the U. S. are not to exceed 25 per centad valorem; and if the reports contained in the newspapers are cer- rect, those imported from the dominions of the Zoll- verein, will have to pay no more than 20 per cent; but this difference of 5 per cent inthe duty is ab- sorbed in the first place by the freight of the cotton being higher to the ports of Germany, than either to Liverpool or Havre,and then by the carriage from the interior of this country to the seaboard, and higher freights across the Atlantic. This will make them come into the market upon nearly equal terms, and it remains to be seen which party the preference will be awarded to. i The Germans have a great opinion of their jinen, which was formerly the staple produce of Silesia, their exports extending to Spain, South America, but various causes have contributed em. A short time since the weavers " being reduced to star- Mehndi the Minister of Finance for re- lief, and requested him to conclude commercial treaties with those countries that were formerly supplied with their linens, by which means the trade would be brought back to the same channel, and restored to a more flourishing condition. The answer of the minister, an extract of which found its way into the newspapers, was to the following effect :—The German linens, he said, had lost their sale inthe foreign markets through the competition of the Irish, which were better bleached, of a more even texture, [their yarn being spun by machinery] and sold at greatly reduced prices. Instead of em- ulating these improvements, the German weavers had tried to BH with them by stinting their goods in the width, mixing them with cotton, and bleaching them by artificial means, endeavoring without success to give them the appearance of Irish linen (whice is grass bleached). The deteriora- tion arising from these practices being evident, the r manufactures were forced 4: ly out of the market, and the minister advises them, therefore, to regain their former reputation abroad by produc- ing a superior artic'e, and exerting themselves to re- medy the defects complained of. In this respect no advantage can accrue to them from the treaty with the U. S.; their succees must entirely depend upon their own conduct. Some of the coarser lin- ens, such as striped shirtings and checks,have been eupplanted afew years since by close imitations of these articles in cotton, and being so much cheaper, large quantities of them were introduced into the U.S. and South America, both from England and Germany. At the present moment several estab- lishments “down east,” are manufacturing goods of this description, and they supply the place of the same article in linen at a much lower rate. Of course every body knows they are made of cotton, but they answer the purpose just as well, and are likely, therefore, to retain their ascendency.-— Meanwhile, subscriptions have been opened here, for the starving weavers in Silesia, and a commit- tee composed of men of the highest standing, [min- isters of State, some of the principal divines, Xc.] has beenformed to concoct measures for their re- lief. _ Areligieus excitement has been lately created in Germany, particularly in parts where the popule- tion is mostly protestant, by a society that has been inatituted for the purpose of assisting poor protes- tant clergymen and protestant communities in ca- tholic countries, who are too indigent to support a ininister. ‘This sgpiety originated some years back in penny when “It took the name of “ Gustav Adolphs Verein,” (Gustavus Ado!phus Union) in hon- oret the Protestant hero at the Thirty years war, who fell at the battle of Lutzen in 1632. “The King of Prussia has consented to accept the title ot patron to this society, and there is no doubt but that other protestant princes will follow his example. A con- tribution of 25 cen'is is sufficient to censtitute a member, and they are going ahead prodigiously, but atthe same time a violent opposition has arisen in some of the Roman catholic, sta:es, where re- ligious intolerance reigns supreme in a guise worthy of the sixteenth century. The King of Bavadia has laced himself at the head of the latter party, pro- fining apy of his subjects, Roman Catholic or Protestant (of which there ar¢ about a million and a half in his Kingdem) to receive assistance from the aforesaid Union, or contribute towards it in any shape whatever. Some funds having been already forwarded to Bavaria to assist the oppressed protes- tapts in building or repairing their places of worship, he ordered the money to bereturned to the parties who sent it, giving them notice that his subjects were not allowed to accept of such contributions, and if any more were sent hereafter they would be handed over to a public charity, or disposed of, at the option of Government. Shortly alter this royal mandate, a long article | appeared in the ‘Allgemeine Zeitung” (published at Augsburgh, afcity in the Bavarian dominions) de- fending the steps the King had taken, on the grounds that this union would only give rise to the renewal of religions disputes between the Catholics and Pro- testants of Germany, as was evident by their con- juring up the phantom of Gustavus Adolphus to dis- tunb the peace so happily established between the two rival sects. Itwas also hinted that the Union had shown a revolutionary tendency,by calling up- on the people for subscriptions without the consent of their rulers, being actuated by the secret design of overturning the lawful governments and introduc- ing a system of democracy, anarchy and irreligion. This article was met by several others, from pro- testant and even Catholic pens, pointing out how many unions of asimilar nature existed in Catholic countries, ridiculing the idea of itsdemocratic ten dencies, and arguing that the King of Prussia would scarcely have taken the Union under his protection, if he had entertained any fear of its feing used asa cloa® for revolutionary designs They urged the notorious fact, that’ Catholic unions and societies in different parts of Europe, had Jong been in the habit of assisting their neces- sitous brethren in Protestant countries, besides en- tertaining regular missions for the conversion of the latter to the true faith; and intimated that the Protestants of Germany had felt the want of a similar institution, to serve as a rallying point in resisting the encroachments of their adversaries At the same time, Dr. Zimmerman, a distinguished Protestant clergyman at Darmstadt, and chaplain tothe Grand Duke ot Hesse, addressed a letter to the King of Bavaria, defending the union against the aspersions of its enemies, and appealing to the justice of the king to puta stop to the arbitrary measures undertaken in his name. What will be the end of all this, whether the agitation will con- tinue, br whether it will die away by degrees, without leading to any violent ebullition of reli- gious fervor, it 18 impossible to foresee. His ma- jJesty of Bavaria is said to have a will of his own, and being a zealous and devout Romanist, he pro- bably imagines he is acting ‘‘ad majorem Dei glo- riam”’ in persecuting that portion ot his subjects who are_ obstinate enough to adhere to their hereti- cal opinions. At all events, this controversy will exercise a beneficial effect on Protestant Germany, ifit should arouse the nation from that state of in- difference and infidelity, which prevails at present in all ranks ot society, and is productive of 60 inju- rious an effect on their moral and intellectual cha- racter. Iremain, Sir, yours respectfully, A. B. Awrot Musprr.—One of the most horrid mur- dere we have ever been called upon to record, was perpetrated about four miles west of Winchester, Ind., on the %hinstant. The Winchester Patriot furnishes the following particulars :—About twelve montha since Adam Fi, a German, emigrated to this county from Co: lumbus, Ohio, accompanied by his wife, daughter and son in law, (the victim of thia atrocious act.) The old man purchased a tract of land upon which they all set tled, but it was not long untila ditticulty arose between the old man and his son-in-law, and we understand that threats of personal violence were made by both parties from the time of the first difficulty until the accomplish- ment of the murder. Martin Heltz, the son-in law of Fi, came into town last Saturday, and returned home at night, when a quarrel ensued between the parties, but nothing serious was upprehended from this ; and on Sun- day morning they again had a few words ; alter break- fast was over, Mr. Heltz, while in the act of shaving, and sitting with his back to the old man, he (the old man,) took down his gun, and in the presence of his wife and daughter shot his son-in-law, the ball entering a few inches below the neck bone. On seeing her husband fat) the daughter ren, but was pormued for some ilstance by the old man, why had reloaded the gun. She, however, escaped, and the neighbors soon cume in and arrested the murderer, who is over seventy years old. The young man lived but a few hours after receiving the shot.

Much excite 1s; but the course determined on, is to throw Joe into opposition of the laws. These Nauvoo rulers have doffed their saintly robes, and have come out in their true characters of hellish fiends. Yes!

Disrressina Accipent at Newarx.—A Whig mass meeting was to be held at Newark on Satur- day afternoon, but was postponed until to. morrow even- ing, in consequence of the following painful circum stances. The meeting, which promised to be very large and influential, was adjourned to the Court House on ac- count of the threatening state of the weather. About four ovclock, the main procession, then extending from Broa ot to the Court-house, and followed by the Orange Hlizabethtown delegations in great numbers. Jarnagin, Hardin, and other speakers, excortel by the Clay Club, arrived on the ine from the residence of Governor: Pennington. The speakers were about to mount the plat torm, upon which were already stationed several re. porters and @ band of music, when it fell; killing and sadly mangling in ite fall an intereating little boy, about eleven yeura old, the son of Simon Fasemore, a very worthy and respectable citizen of Newark. ‘This melan- choly eccident, resulting we understand, from the gross negligence on the part of the person who erected the plat- form, of course threw a | bode over the still bemctiin J thousands, and the meeting was judiciously postponed. ‘The music of the Elizabethtown band had but a minute before attracted a crowd of boys, who were playing un- der the stage, and who thus narrowly escaped the fate of their companion. ‘The little fellow was following, and was caught by the folling timbers. Storm, on THe Urrrr Mississterr.—The storm and hurricane in the vicinity of Bloomington, low: which we noticed on y, are thas mentioned in the Upper Mississippian :—" In our neighboring villoge of Moline, ® house was struck by the ightning, and three men sarionsly but not dangeronsly injured. The circum- stances are briefly these. ‘Two men were sitting with their feet upon the steve ; the lightning struck the stove and passing from it to them, tore off their shoes and la cerated their feet and toes. The toes of one of them were much injared—torn and twisted as if they had been munched by a bear, The other was not so badly hurt We have scen one of the shoes, in the possession of Dr. Green, who attended them, and it is really a curiosity. It {a torn into eleven pieces, the sole torn off and into se- | ™ Veral pieces, and the upper consilerably rent. The third person hurt had his shirt sleeve torn ; the fluid passing in there, ran up his arm to his shoulder, then across bis breast and stomach, and down his leg.’ A passenger on the fowa informs us that farther up the river the effects of the storm were far mora disastrous. The honse of Mr. Armstrong, near Albany, was unroofed, and his barn le. feled wittihe ground. he house next below was blown down, and an infant carried off by the force of the wind, was dashed against a tree and killed.” Outrageous Arvain.—The Presbyterian Church at Champlain, Clinton co., is reported to have been design: edly set on fire atew days ago and destroyed. The in- habitants of Champlain, it is said, attribute this wanton tnd sacriligious act to animosity engendered by the sup- posed adherence of the Champlain Presbyterians to the jative American Party.—Jibany Ade., June 24. ‘Trial of Polly Bodine.
