and in this respect they aie much more advanced than any other of the colonies.They are, however, capable of supporting an increase of population to the extent of 10,500,000, {Qy ?] Supposing, therefore, emigration were to continue at the rate of 37,000 per aunum, which is the average of the last few years, they would yet hold out inducements to emigrants for 197 years to come, allowing them the same amount of population as at present for increase during that period \u2014 [Colin T.Campbell PuUPULATION OF THE CHIEF AMERICAN CITIES according to the census of 1840 : New York, 312,- New Orleans, 102,103;

such a security being a condition of the union, and essential to the safety of the church.The resolations were adopted.In the Free Church Assembly several financial reports have been produced.The amount received on account of the Sustentation Fund was £68,700, which allows a salary of about £105 n-year to each minister, The Central Building Fund was £85,927; the sum collected for local objects, by 438 congregations, £133,323; besides sums spent by 53 congregations, which have built their own churches and made no retura.The sums collected or subscribed during the year, for all purposes connected with the Free Church, amounted to £420,613.The law expenses were £5,000;

but it is explained by the Journal des Débats, On the previous day the Chamber had passed a vote withdrawing the smaller schouls for the education of ecclesiastics from the coutrol of the Council of the University.That vote displeased several peers, who, by way of protesting against it, voted against the whole bill, and thus swelled the apparent strength of the church party.General Delarue set out, on Saturday, for Algeria, to give the beuefit of his maturer experience to the Duc d\u2019Aumale, whose ardour had betrayed him into some imprudence, and some awkward reverses, in a recent encounter with the Kabyles.The Tou- lonnais says that he narrowly escaped being captured; aod that, as it was, the French tronps incurred great loss of life through his rashness.M.Jacques Laffitte, the great financier, died yesterday week.He was a remarkable man : the son of a Bayoune carpenter, he became Goveruor of the Bank of France, and had the illustrious fortune to confer signal services on bis country.On Monday the Chamber of Deputies resolved to attend bis funeral, en masse.SwitzERLAND.\u2014The disturbance in the two Va- luis, or rather the civil war between the Aristocratic party of the Upper Valais and the Liberals of the Lower Valais, or * Young Switzerland,\u201d has been quelled.Both parties appear to have committed , cruelties on each other, though that statement is denied ;

and that, during them, the mind be withdrawn as much as possible from all other concerns, and interested especially in the agreeable sensual impressions it is experiencing.The enjoyment of our food forms one of the best of sauces for the promotion of its digestion.Eating, furthermore, being an imperious animal duty, sufficient time should always be appropriated to its performance.The habit of rapid eating is exceedingly common A Free-TrapeE Parapise.\u2014Jersey, with a population of about 47,000, and enjoying all the advantages of British protection, is entirely exempted from taxes, and has only some trifliug rates.No assessed taxes, no income or property tax, no house or window tax, no stamps, no customs, no excise, no toll Lars\u2014horses, dogs, servants, carriages, all free.\u201c What a blessed country I\u201d says the well- taxed Englishman.But Jersey owns other blessings.Upon neither the importation nur the exportation of articles of any deseription is there any restriction.; Trade is free.It is very pleasant to know that there is at least one spot on God's earth not blight.have every where else imposed.Ships from all countries sail into St.Heliers, and pour forth their | stores unchallenged, subject to no other charge than harbourage.The corn, wines, and liguors of continental Europe, the sugars of the West Indies, the tobacco and cotton of Virginia, the timber and drugs of South America, the tea of China, the spices of Java, and the silk of Hindostan\u2014ail eoter this Lappy little port free of any kiud of duty.Besides the advantages derivable from the freedom of import boun of incalculable value.all articles of foreign growth are disposed of in Jersey at \u2018but a small and reasonable advauce on their first cost.An English housewife gets quite beside herself on entering a grocer\u2019s shop in St.Heliers.All her previous knowledge of marketing is upset.What visions of bargains rise in her imagination ! We entered one of the largest in the town, aud first addressed ourselves to the article sugar, of which the capacious window boasted numerous specimens.\u201c What is the price of that very fine-looking loaf-sugar ?° * Five-peuce a pouod, but here is sugar nearly as good for 43d.\u201d \u201c Show us some brown sugar; ay, that light-lovk- ing kind; what is it per pound?\u201d \u201c Threepeuce; but here is some at 24d.\u201d * Just so: now tell us the price of tea.\u201d * Here is some good black tea at 2s.6d.a pound, and green tea from 3s.to 5s.\" \u201cNow for coffee.\u201d \u201c We can supply the best Indian coffee at from 8d.to 11d.per pound, and Mocha for about 18.6d.\u201d These prices we learned were Jersey mopey, by which is meant that ls.English will be taken for 13d.; and the weight of the pound being an ounce and a half heavier than it is in England, the purchaser has two important deductions in his transactions.ln the same shop we learned that the price of Cognac brandy is 6s., old Jamaica rum 7s.6d., Hollands 3s.6d., and whisky 8s.per gallon Port and sherry wines were from 20s.to 25s.per dozen, and clarets trom 125, upwards.In the butcher market we found the price of meat of various kinds much the same as it is in England and Scotland, and so likewise was the bread ; but this was not reckoning the advantages from overweight and over-value of money.Notwithstanding the general lowness of the price of the articles of consumption, the wages of labour are about the same as with us, In all our perambulations we never saw either a rag or a beggar.Left to take their fair course, population aud the meavs of subsistence have evidently adjusted themselves; and the consequence is, we see & spectacle of peace and plenty which [am well assured could not be discovered in [Chamber's Journal.] tempted on Ly the inviting quietude, are in the habit of protracting their labours late into the hours physical health.The wan aud sallow countenance of the student is almost proverbially associated with the miduight lamp.Few causes tend more certainly to shatter the nervous energies, waste the constitution, and hasten on the infirmities of age, than defi cient and irregular sleep.Thus, *\u201c to be a long and sound sleeper,\u201d ture, interfere with their necessary and regular ed with the curse which commercial restrictions | trade, the inhabitants enjoy the privilege of exporting their produce unrestrictedly to England\u2014a As might Le expected, | avy other part of Europe, or perhaps in the world, A Hint ror THE STUDIOUS,\u2014 Many students, of the night, and at the manifest expense of their à we often find included by the older writers amoung the signs of loagevity., Those per- sous whose occupations, whatever may be their na- 18pose, are almost always observed to be pale, netv- | June, among studious men, and is very apt to be acquired | at our colleges and boarding-schools, the inmates of which often despatch their food more like ravenous animals than civilized human creatures.\u2014 Mental Hygiene.MR.FEATHERSTONHAUGR'S EXCURSION THROUGH THE | SLAVES STATE OF AMERICA.| Box-M0T oF GENERAL JACKSON.\u2014 As we drove up ! to the door of the tavern, I saw General Jackson.i the venerable President of the United States, seated at a window smoking his long pipe, and went to pay my respects to bim; apologizing for my dirty appearance, which I told bim I had very honestly , come by in hammering the rocks of his own State.He laughed and hook hands cordially with me ; {and learning that my son was with me, requested me to briog him in and present him.My son, who had been scampering about the country all the time we were in Knoxville, was in a worse pickle than myself, and felt quite nshamed to be presented to so eminent a person; but the old General very kindly took him by the hand, and said, \u201c My young friend, don\u2019t be ashamed of this: if you were a - politician, you would have dirty work upon your hands you could not so easily get rid of.\u201d PracTicaL TEsT oF SLAVE AND FREE STATES.\u2014 | The change from a State where slavery exists, | which it does in Kentucky, though in somewhat n mitigated form, to a State with a free population, is obvious here.In Indiana you see neat White women and their children, with here and there a free Negro; and evervthing is cleaner and tidier than in Tennessee and Kentucky.The mistress of the house and her daughters wait upon you at table, instead of the huge, fat, frowsy Negresses, that, in the Slave States, poison you with the efluvium from their skins, when they reach over to set anything on the table.THE PRESIDENT'S SADDLE.We now drove ou to the Hermitage, the plantation of General Jackson, the Presideat.I had seen al a tavern in Virginia a box directed to him, and learnt accidentally that it had been waiting there several weeks; the contractor of the stage having refused to forward it because the carriage was not paid, and because he was opposed to the General in polities.l tberelore took it under my care ; aud, mentioning the circumstance to him when 1 met him at Campbell\u2019s Station, the old \u2018gentleman tôld me that the box contained his favourite saddle, abd that he had been inconvenienced for the want of it during the short holiday he had been indulging iv from the seat of government, Tue Kine on THE King\u2019s Spreca.\u2014Though George the Second, as a constitutional Mouarch, thus spoke to his Parliament in the language of bis Ministers, he did vot attempt in his private cobver- sation to conceal his real sentiments.Thus, on one occasion, being informed that au impudent printer was to be punished for publishing a spurious Royal Speech, he answered, that he hoped the man\u2019s punishment would be of the mildest sort, because he had read both, and, as far as he understood either of them, he liked the spurious speech better than his own.IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.House or Lorps, May 30th.The Lord Chancellor gave notice that he wonld, on Tuesday, lay upon the table a somewhat modified bill for regulating Presbyterian marriages in Ireland.\u2018 House or Coanons, May 30th, In reply to a question from Sir W.James, Sir J.Graham said that Government had not the slightest intention of not proceeding with thé Poor-law Amendment Bill during the present session.Fripav, May 31st.Mr.Hume presented a petition from an agricultural society in India, praying for the admission of corn from India on the same terms as corn coming from Canada.The hoo.membef gave notice of his intention to call the attention of the house to.the subject on an early day.In answer to Mr, Hume, Sir R.Pesl said the Bank Charter Bill would be brought on early in I memes Tors Lo Sh eb ss re, SE ET ES ARE pr re 2m STATE SITE A, 70 Cm Mat LT SH TA ET TE RI RA 7 CAPT UNCLAIMED LETTERS.Lisr or Lerrers remaining in the Quebec Post Office on the Ist July, 1844.(If the follow ng Letters are not r deemed within six werks trom this date, thev will be seat to the Desd Letter Office.)
