Among the topicé of interest which the approach- ing General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, to be held at Chicago next May, will dis- cuss will be the question of lay delegation. Pe- titions im favor of the measure were-submitted at its quadrennial session held at Buffalo in 1860, snd after an elaborate discussion the bishops and members of that body expressed their willingness, to open the dours of the legislative councils of the Church to the laity whenever a majority of the members of the denomination asked for admission. The friends of tie invvement immediately institu- ted measures tv have an expression of the popular will, and the question was put toa vote within the Dounds of the annual conferences. . The result showed that a large majority were adver: to the proposed crange, and it was so re- pried at the meeting of the General Conference eld in Philadelphia in 1864, The advocates of the reform claimed that as the vote was taken while the country was plunged into war, the vote was net @ correct representation of the popular mind, “Accordingly the Methodist, an ably edited Journal, devoted to tie special advocacy of Ia: representation, and a number of le: ig pn fenewed the discussion with increased zeal. The Christian Advocate, of this city, is very conserva- tive on this subject, and an article recent! ap- peared in it severely reprimanding Bishops Simp- son and Kingsley tor the active part they hooks sadvocating the desirability of admitting laymen to ‘the legislative councils “of the Church. If the @riends of the measure do not succeed in effecting this proposed change at the approaching session that the time is not far distant when the republi- can principle will be incorporated into the polity of the Methodist Episcupal Church in America. STATISTICS OF CHRISTIANITY. {From the Pall Mall (English) Gazette.) So much has been said late/y respecting the rel- Ative numbers of the members of the several de- vominations of Christians, and so much ay loose assertion on the subject is daily hazarded that the Following is submitted as founded, at least, on competent authoritics. It comprises those parts of world which may be comprehended under the general term Christendom—Europe, America and Australia. The Christians of Asia and Africa, and e of Polynesia, are omitted, because, al- though taken togetier they amount to a very con- siderable number, statistical details are wanting. or the United a es no regular computation ‘is available.

For the materials are a little tmore trustworthy, For the United States the cal- culation of Dr. B. Smith, reproduced in the American and English newspapers of recent date, thas been borrowed. For Europe in general, the fnumbers given in the ““Almavach de Gotha,” founded on official data, have been for the most part adopted, It is scarcely necessary to add that all such enumerations must be received with large allowances in many respects, but especially in this—that in all countries where an established charch exists, all those who have not publicly em- braced some other confession are set down as be- Jonging to it. It has not been thought worth while to encumber the catalogue by the insertion of the numbers of extremely small minorities ; as, for instance, the few scattered Roman Catholics Scandinavia or Protestants in Belgium and Italy. ‘our colonies : Roman Greens & States.

If any bank has tent mors than a tenth part of ite capital to any one person it wan easy matter in Wall street for the borrower to get some other person to divide the loan; but asa rule the banks of thie olty have pursued a cauttoue policy with regard to coltaterals in granting ioans, and: mining stocks have alwaya@been deciined as euch, with the ex- ception of Cumberland and Quicksilver to very moderate amounts, That some bank officers may have abused their position by lending without sufficient security is got impossible, but these instances are likely to prove rare, although speculation among bank oiticers is doubt- tess not uncommon, The earnings of nearly all the railwoys continue to be ou a larger seale than they were a year ago, which is asying much, considering she depressioa whioh has pre- vailed in trade for many months past.
