churches in other parts of the country. Of Lu- | therans there are 51, and of the Reformed Church 10, congregations. The English have a chapel of their own at Warsaw. The government, according to the budget of the last five years, has contributed during that time 7,533,319 florins to the maintenance of religion, and 1,701,000 florins to the building of new churches and the repairing of old ones. The population of the kingdom, according to an official statement just published, may be estimated as follows: The press is subjected in Poland to exactly the same system of censorship as in Russia. In 1840 there existed in Poland six political papers, and 19 other periodicals. The public libraries, which suffered terrible devastations in consequence of the insurrection, have been to some extent refurnished, through the exertions of M. de Uvaroff, who has directed the Imperial Library at St. Petersburgh to forward its duplicates to Warsaw. This is in some measure the repayment of an old debt, for the Imperial Library was originally formed by spoliations from Poland. PRUSSIA. The Jews in Prussia according to a recent statistical table published in the State Gazette, amount to 191,558. In the province of Posen there are 77,102; in Silesia, 26,703; in the Rhine province, 26,367; in the province of Prussia, 25,779; in Westphalia, 13,766; in Brandenburg, 13,747; in Pomerania, 6832; in Saxony, 4262. Two-fifths of all the Jews in Prussia, therefore, resided in the province of Posen, or Prussian Poland, where they form one-sixteenth of the population. By a decree dated the 31st of May, 1842, the King of Prussia has instituted a new branch of the Order of Merit, for the purpose of conferring a distinction on men eminent in science, literature, and the arts. The German Knights of the civil branch of the Order are to be thirty in number, one of whom is to be the Chancellor of the Order. In case of a vacancy, each knight is to have the right of proposing a successor. These votes are to be collected by the Chancellor, and submitted by him to the King, who reserves to himself the ultimate selection of the new knight. In addition to thirty German Knights, there are to be foreign knights, who are never to exceed thirty, but need not always amount to that number. The following is the list of what may be called the original members of the order. GERMAN KNIGHTS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF W.

RUSSIA. the botanical specimens sent home in the first year, 190 were collected among the Altai Mountains, and previously unknown to naturalists. Kohl's works on Russia have been placed among the books, the importation of which into Russia has been prohibited. His work on Southern Russia is indeed allowed to circulate there, but not till several passages of considerable length have been carefully obliterated. Yet Kohl, though he speaks with frankness, manifests throughout all his works a decided partiality for Russia and the Russians. Nürnberger's Stillt Leben, oder ueber die Unsterblichkeit der Menschlichen Seele, and Weisse's Philosophische Geheimlehre von der Unsterblichkeit des menschlichen Individuums, have shared the fate of Kohl's amusing works. Among the works, the introduction of which has long been and still is prohibited, are:-the historical works of Rotteck and Pölitz, the Conversations-Lexicon of Brockhaus, Keller's Andachtstunden, Malten's Britrage zur neuesten Weltkunde, Cotta's periodical Das Ausland, &c. There are 139 periodicals and newspapers now published in Russia, being five more than were in existence a year ago. Of the existing publications, ninety-eight are printed in Russian, twenty-two in German, eight in French, four in English, three in Polish, one in Italian, and three in the Lettish dialect. Three only of these periodicals are of a decidedly scientific tendency: namely, "The Journal of the Ministry for Pub- The Emperor and Empress of Russia, celelic Instruction," "The Bulletin of the Academy brate this year (on the 13th of July) their silver of Sciences," and "The Memoirs of the Univer-wedding-day, as it is called in Germany, namely, sity of Kasan." An imperial order was issued in 1837, to establish local newspapers at the chief towns of the different governments. Of these provincial papers, forty-one only have as yet been established. Their contents are almost exclusively of local interest. M. Karelin is still engaged in his scientific journey through south-eastern Siberia, which has now lasted for upwards of two years. He commenced his undertaking in 1840, at the expense the 25th anniversary of that happy event. The imperial festivities are to take place at the palace of Peterhof, and a million of silver rubles are said to have been set aside for the purpose. SPAIN. Spanish literature has suffered an irreparable loss by the death of Espronceda, the deputy, and the first lyric poet of Spain. He died on the 23d of May, after an illness of only two days.
