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 "'8 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.

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.

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.

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 EV - O narly five hundred millions of copies. Of the newspapers in 1850, 855 were wbiiand 742 democratic. The public libraries of t e United States contain near five millions of volumes. In the slaveholding States thirteen free colored persons in every 10,000 are in jails, or risons, or penltentierles; in the non-slave- liolding. % in every 10,000. -About one-third o upers on the lat June, 1850, were foreihgnprsl: althonngh they constitute but one- test 0 t a non.

NIGHIINGALEI Mrs. N ightingule is Miss Nighiu do, or rather Miss lorencc Nighinga e, the youngest daughter and p mptive co- heiress of her father, G Nightingale, of Embley-park,‘iH' 1 . and the Lea Hurst, Derbyshire. 5. ig . moreover, u young ladygof singular endow: t‘ ‘ ments, both natural and acquire . In a knowledge of the ancient languages, and of the higher branches of mathematics, in general art, science, and literature, her attainments are .cxtrscrdinary. There is scarcely a modern language which she does not understand, and she speaks French, German, and Italian as fluently as her native English. She has visited and stu- died the various natious of Europe, and has ascended the Nile to its I-emotest cataract. Young, (about the age of our Queen,) graceful, feminine, rich, and popular, she holds it singularly gentle and per- suasive influence over all with whom she comes in contact. Why, then, should a being so highly blessed with all that should render life bright, innocent, and, to a considerable extent, useful, forego such palpable und heartfelt attractions? Why quit all this to become a nurse? i-om her infancy she had a yearning affection for her kind,—a sympathy with the weak, the oppressed, the destitute, the suffering, and the desolate. The schools rind the poor around Lea Hurst and Em- hley first saw and felt her as avisitor, teacher, consoler, expounder. Then she frequented and studied the schools, hospi- tals, and reformntory institutions of Lon- don, Edinburgh, und the continent. Three years ago, when all Europe had a holyday on and alter the Great Exhibitiop, when the highlands of Scotland the lakes of Switzerland, and all the bright spots of the continent were filled with parties of plea- sure, Miss Nightingale was within the walls of one of the German houses or houses or hospitals for the care and reformation of the lost and infirm. For three long she was in daily and nightly _ i uccuniulating expel-ience in allih 7 and labours of female ministrstia. She then returned to be once more the delight of her own happy home. But the strong tendency of her mind to look beyond its own circle for the relief of those who, rio- minnlly, having all, practically have too frequently none, to help them, prevailed; and, therefore, when the hospital establish- ed in London for sick governesees was about to fail for want of proper manage- ment, she stepped forward and consented to be placed at its head. Derbyshire and Hampshire were exchanged for the narrow, dreary establishment in Harley-street, to which she devoted all her time and fortune. Meanwhile a cry of distress and for addi- tional comforts beyond those of mere hos- pital treatment came home from the East, from our wounded brethren in arms. There instantly arose an enthusiastic desire to answer it. Brit, inexperienced zeal could perform little. and a bevy of ill-orgaiaed nurses might do more harm than good. There was a fear lest anoble impulse should fail for want ofa head, a hand, and a heart to direct it. It was then, that's field was opened for the wider exercise f Miss Nightin ale’s sympathies, experi e, and owers 0 command and control. t at w at cost? At the risk of her own life, —ut the pangs ofeeparstion from all her friends and fsmily,—-and at the certaislty The ‘floor surface of this immense . oi encountering hardships, dangers, toils, , and the constantly renewing scene of hu- man suffering amidst all the worst horrors of war. There are few who would I00 recoil from such realities, but lies Night- ingale shrank not, and at once accepted‘ the re uea that was made her to firm and ‘ centre the entire nursing establihment the ‘ our sick and wettttked soldiers and fillet‘ in the Levant. ‘
