Rel'gions Denominations,
According to an estimate made by one of
the Professors ofHamillon College, the num
ber of members of the different religious
denominations in this country Bland pretty
much as follows:
Catholics, 1,131,300 Unitarians, 34,00
Methodists, 1,216,0G9 Baptist, 1,215,620
-Presbyterians, 495,083 Friends, 50,000
Uuiversalists, 325,000 Episcopali's 67,540
Hard l imes in New York.
By an estimate in the Herald, it is shown
that not less than twenty thousand people, on
an average, nightly visit the theatres nnd
other places of public amusement in that
city. The cost of admission to these places
of amusement is not less than between ten
and twelve thousand dollars nightly, or
about seventy thousand dollars a week.

Digging for Treasure. —A cro*d of men
and boys were gathered about the ramparts
of the old French Fort, on tho west side
yesterday afternoon, nnd again this morn
ing. It seems the farce of digging (of trea.
tare is again in operation there, with the
aid of what the boys call a "witch." Thi9
has produced the interest, and called togeth
er an amused crowd. A young girl, appa
rently 14 years of age, said to have seen j
this treasure in a mesmeric sleep in Albany. I
is on the ground. Slto sits upon the bank of!
a deep excavation, and while working the
msn are not permitted to speak, she issuing •
her directions in writing. Preparatory to j
the commencement of the work, tho girl
•{in Bloomer costume) with solemn gravity
"walks round the edge of the excavation
'three times, and at a given signal the men
'fall to digging. The whole scene is one
•bordering largely on the ridiculous, but
strongly marked by gullibility. A police of
ficer as present yesterday to preserve order
To-day the number of spectators is largely
•increased, in consequence of the presence
of the sight-°eeing young miss, who directs,
with tl.e aid of her mesmeric eye, exactly
•where the treasure -is bu-ied.— Osicego Jour- i

MORE THREATEN t-.n SECESSION.— The citi
zens of Dade countv, Georgia, acting upon
the oxample of their disunion Coventor, at j
'a late meeting resolved that, if Georgia re- j
•cedes from the Union, they will secede from
"Georgia. The merit of lite resolve is mostly
•contained in the fact that Dado county is
naturally separated from the rest of Georgia J
by a range of mountains, and Iter citizens [
•could annex themselves to Tennessee, upon 1
which State they border, without any diffi- j
culty whatever.

properly considered a companion to the
" Sacred Mountains,' by the same author.
Its object is to illustrate and "render more
life-like" the sacred writings. It is not the
< author's design to supersede the Bible. But
his wish is excite a solicitude to obtain, and
to become intimately acqMpiied and per
fectly familiar With its histofyj doctrines and
1 laws; to know its truth to imbibe its spirit,
feel its power, ami partake of its salvation;
I in a word, to prize in some measure as it
. deserves, thin treasure which is indeed he
; yond price. We predict for it a circulation
; lar beyond any of the author's former works.

Rambles and Sketches —By Rev. J. T. Head
ley. We have not for a long time sat down
to a book with more pleasing anticipations,
or found those anticipations more lully re
alized, than in the perusal of the wmk be
fore L'S, and we know it will be hailed with
gratification by the many admirers of the
talented author. His "Napoleon and his
Marshals" was, perhaps, as popular and
found at least h. J many enthusiastic readers
as any book that can be mentioned. We
ill ink the Rambles ana' Sketches are des
tined to be as popular at least as any of bis
previously published works. There is not a
dull chapter in the work, tilled as it is with
I "an infinite variety." The author has nm
■ pie room and verge enough for the employ
-1 ment of his fine talents to great advantage.
1 and most successfully has lie accomplished
I the task. The biographical sketch of the
aiuliCr is interesting and "well considered,"
• and adds much to tho value of the book,
I which is got up in a very neat and attractive
style by the publisher.—See Portland Trank
-1 script, Dec. 15th.
Mr, Headley is otto of themnat promising wri
ters of tills cnuutiv, nn<l we have here one of his
■ liest books—oi.e nil which he rn safely rest his
fame. It possesses the unfaliguing charms of
perfect simplicity and truth. There is graceful
frankness porvsding the composition, which en
gages the interest of the reader in tho author as
well as in thr subject. His rambles about Roma,
Paris and London exhibit o thousand traits of mi
ingenuous natuic, upon which a man of taste
will delight to linger. We predict for this n
sale equal to that ot any of Iho author's works.
[New York News.
The collection is ono of which no euthor
need he ashamed. It consists, indeed, of some
of Mr. Headley's most brilliant and highly i| n
ished compositions of those specimens* of his
abilities by which he may he judged with the
greatost safety to his fame as n word-painter and
thinker. [New York Tribuno,
