Pauperism, which attracted some attention, and was transferred to the col umns of ionic of the prints bollv secular and religious. The subject is a. sore one. for tht? Jesuitical cauists of Home. When compell ed to admit the too palpable fact of the pover ty of Fapist as compared with Protestant pop ulations, they ..gloss it ovorr by paying with anctiraonioiis airs.tliat '-the Gospo ia preach ed to the poor, and among them .finds-its sin cerest and moat exemplary disciples." i This Is tru3. But it is not to their piir'pos'.'uniess they'c'an show that it is the intent and lea'doti cyof the Gospt-I to make men poar, keepthem poor, and render them poorer and poorer to thjj .Very, brink of starvation. So far from this, It, can be morally, demonstrated, that true re ITion, as an enlightner of the mind and a re- llner of the heart, promotes intejlienee.' vir- tue, industry, and health; and therefore Las a natural and necessary tendency towards tem poral comfort and prosperity. I-'ioiance is neither the mother of devotion iivr f thrift. ' As to devotion', the '.'ignorant .oship thy know not what; and as to thrift, it Is truly said by Solomon, "JIuch food is in the tillage of the jotHf f-buV Uu re. is that which is destroyed for want of judgment.?

Southerh America and the United States of North America ;r or between the Papal cantons of Switzerland and the Pro testant cantons, all being under the same civil government or between Popish Ireland and'. Protestant Scotland, both of these also being ; under the same civil government; or even be tween those counties of .Ireland .itself ; where the Papacy- prevails,; and those in winch theJ Reformed religion predominates;' or the com parison might be made , between1 r Popish Aus tria and Protestant Prussia, lying side by .side; or between -Romish Belgium ami Protestant Holland, also next door neighbors., , But this would require a view so extensive as to take up a tolnme in its diseription,'and is altogeth er too wide a' scop for the space we pan spare.

By Parliamentary "returns obtained and print ed by .the, zealous PopelHig Lucas in his Tb let," ths wholj numlr i.f prisoners in the jails of England on the 2jth of September, .1332," was 22,822.".

' with a popula tion less, than onerfourth as numerous. ; ,. , : By the last census of the United States,.the whole population was returned at almost twen: millions, (19,981.317.) Of" these, 2 .210.823' were foreign-born, -The number of.cr min Js in confinement at that time whs about 27,lOO, of whom more than half, or 11,00.1. were for eigners.'.

A very striking case is afforded by the returns made 1-sst year by the city Mar shal of Jersey Cjty, who states the whole num ber who have been committed to the city pri son from the beginning was 4,100: of whom on ly szveniy-jice were natives. Of the rest, 3,5 H) were from Ireland.' the other foreigners being but i2o.

Of nearly 500 families of out door poor reliev ed, o:!y six were American. Thtjshnt for the foreign population, the city might almost dis pense with the almshouse and prison both." Now the, religions connections of all this population are not given. But as the whole numheriof .Romanist in this country, accord ing to-' their own t-t itemetits, s.y three millions d-os 'V.ot 'very greatly exceed the number of fvivigners here,-an 1 as it is known that the vast iH 'jurity of immigrant who land on our shores is Popish, especially of thos-i from Irj lan.l.' the inference '" is irresi -table as to the vaitly 'inferior uioral.ity, of the Romanists. ; But our labor in this iuquiry is greatly. less ened by the investig itions of ilieRw, II.
