UNITED STATES STATISTICS.

Mr. De Bow, Superintendent of the United States Census, has just issued a newwolume, of which a very heavy edition was printed by Congress. It is 8_ most complete c c opaedin_ 0 new and interestin statistics. , T e following ’ sied rom it, but the whole vol- ume is wor y of study and reflection :

The cost of the census of 1790 was $44,377 ; of 1840. $883,370; of 1850, 31,362,500. exclu- sive of final printin . U wards of 3,500 per- sfinsfwere employed in co acting and digesting t e

acts.

The area of the United States has increased from 820,628 square miles, in 1783, to 2,963,- 666 in 1854, being more than it third of the area of North America, and unite the Roman empire or that of Alexander in their pulmisst days; 1,217,562 miles of this territor is in the Mississippi valley, and 766,002 on t _e Pacific. The main shore line of the Union. including be s, sounds, &c., is 12,609 miles, of which 6,- 861 miles are on the Atlantic, 2,281 on the Pacific, and 3,467 on the Gulf. Of the conti- nental shore line 907 miles are on the Atlantic north, end 1,256 south of Vir inie (inclusive ;) 1,764 are on the ulf; 1,34. on the Pacific. The distance from ew York to New. Orleans is equal to that from London to Rome; from New York to Astoria by water equal to that from Liverpool in Canton by the way of Cape Hope. The total length of shore of navigable rivers is 49,065 miles. The frontier line of the Union on the British possessions is 3,303 miles; on Mexic 1,456 miles. Nebraska constitutes one-ninth of the Union; Texas, one-twelfth; Virginie, one-fiftieth; Rhoda Island, ona-two- thousand-three-hundredth. The States and Ter- ritories have about on equal area. '1‘lic slave- holdiug States have 851,508 square miles ; nou- slave-hcldin , 612,597; 1,970,077 miles are north, an 66,089, south of latitude 36 30. Six States und Territories are larger, as large, or a little less tliitn either of the powers of France, Great Britain, Austria, Prussia, Spain, or Turke . Eight of the largest Stutes nro equal to t e 23 others in territory.

The Shtes should be classed as—1, eastern, or Atlantic; 2, interior, or middle; 3, western, or Pacific. Tbs northeastern would then com- prise New England, New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jerse ; the southeastern the remain- ing Atlantic tates, includin Florida; the northwestern, Oregon and Wes ington; south- western, California, New Mexico, and Utah; the northern interior, Indians, Illinois and Iowa, Michigan, and Wisconsin, Nebraska and Minnesota: the southern interior, Kentucky,

Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Alabama. Miss-

1850, 7,90; 44 per cent. of the pulstion re- sided, in 1850, in the Mississip i valley and Gulf slope. This re ion, which ad in 1790, £1,711 persons, in 1 50 bed 10‘34-1,746. If as dense as the southern Stntesour territor would embrace 45,000,000; as New En land, 1 ,000,- 000; as the middle States, 170,000,000; as Great Britain, 660,000,000; as Belgium 1,150,’-

of the slave properties are in a single slave, and nearly one-half in less than 5 slaves. New-York has about one'4i hth of the popu- lation’ of the Union, Penney vania one-tenth, Delawareone-two-hundred-and-sixty-third rt. In the last ten years Vermont gained 88tI’.per cent. ; in 60 years Delaware gained but 54 per cent., and e_unessee 2,701 per cent. There are about two families to every eleven free per- sons in the U nice, and one dwelling-to a little more than six persons. The average a e of white none in the Union is 23 years; 0 free colore 24.54; of slaves, 21.35; and the age which equally divides each of these classes of po elation is 19.15 for whites, 20.27 for free Not more than 20 rsons who were in the country when the Dec oration of Independence was si ned can still survive. In 1850, l in ever 70 colored persons were insane or idiotic in t e ni)n-slu.vo- 'olding States, and 1 in 1821 in the sleveliold-

in . éonnecticut, South Carolina, and Vermont have more than half as many native born re- sidin in other States as remain at home ; North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Virginia neurly one-half ; iirlitssechusetts, Maryland, and New-Jersey one-t hird. The largest roportion of foreigners is ii Wisconsin and innesots, being about one-third of the whole; the least proportion is in North Carolina, being 1 to native ; in South Carolina, 1 in 32; in Arkan- sas in 98; in Mississippi, 1 in 62. More than a quarter of the free ersons born in the South have left for other sections; only one- sixth have left the custom or middle States ; only one-tenth the South-west. 726,450 rsons born in the free States, now live in slave States ; whilst B2,112 born in the slave States r side in the free. 1,800,000 forei uers reside in the free States, and less than ,000 in the slave

titles.

There are in the United States 961,719 per- sons born in Ireland, 278,675 in Englund, 40,- 550 in Scotland, 29,868 in Wales, or in Grout Britain and Ireland 1,340,812-—considerabI- more than half of the forei -born residents oi the country; in France, .069; Prussia, 10,- 549; rest of.

About 40 in every 100 Irish live in the large cities, and about 36 in the 100 Germans. 56,- 214 persons born in the United States reside in C

unadn.

If the United States increase in the next hundred years as fast as in the last sixty, the total population would be 446,l59,670,; if as fast as between 1840 and 1850, deducting immi- grants, 252,152,290. The most moderate ratio would give in 1,900 70,000,000, and in 1950 125,000,000, of whom 64,000,000 would reside of the Mississippi. The annual increase 0 the United States has been neitrly three times as rent us that of russin, not- withstanding what she gained from Poland,

.more than four times as much as Russia, six

times as much as Great Britain, nine times as much as Austria, ten times as miwh as France. Upon the basis of est increase, in 1950, France would have 61, ,000, and Great Britain 83,-

000.0 0.

There are 38,183 buildings used for religious worship in the United States hnving nccommo- dutions for over 14,000,000 persons, and of a total value, including other prgpgrty, of $87,- 446,331. ' There are about 30, clergymeu. The Methodists have more than half of all the churches. There are about 5 churches to every 3,000 of the total po ulation. The churches of Charleston accommosete a larger ortion of the whole population than do those 0 Boston.

The federal verninent has nted over forty-eight million acres of Inn for school purposes, and over four million! for universi- ties. Maine has a lager proportion of scholars at school than any other State or country in the world. Denmark exceeds the United States; the United States exceeds all other countries, even including the slaves. Thus, there is one person at school to every 4.9 whites and free colored, undone to every 5.6 of total popula- ' n; in Prussia, 1 to 6.2; in Great Britain 1 to 10; France, 1 to 10.5; Russia, 1 to 50; Por- tngal, 1 to 81. In New-England so admirable is the school system that only one person over twenty years of age in ever four hundred of the newve whites is incapab e of reading and writing; in the South and Southwest, the pro-

rtiou is 1 in 12; in the Territories, 1 in 6; llfthe slaveholding States, 1 in 12; in the non- slaveliolding, 1 in 40; in the whole Union 1 in 22. The. to tion of the illiterate to the whole Rirellgn rn is 1 in 12.

There were in 1775 thirty-llve newsgpers in the United States, in 181 , 359; 18 , 852; 1740, 1,681; 1850, 2,596—olroIlsting annually

States contain near five millions of volumes.

In the slaveholding States thirteen free

colored persons in every 10,000 are in jails, or
