Of these 662 were persons, whose re j rious notions were unknown. Of the rest 2,950 ,',e c!ased as Rman Cat':. olio. From whence .it j,pt.-ars that the latter, " though but one -M,, fourth of the population. of r nglarid, fur- i .. th ,,f ,. iinina'c mtwelve times 85 ni.m as they would have done had their nigral condition been '.equal to other classes of t eeople. ' Again we learn that, from tables laid lefore Parliament, in 1852, it appears that the total number of committals for murder in En 'land and Wales, had been about 72 for each t,f the ten preceding ) ears, or not four to each miliiou of the population. But in France, the annual committals for murder are about 31 to each million of inhabitants. But . the most ;,t"uUuing contrast is presented in the following paiagrapus: Tlu: Pontifical government, naturally anxious to eo-liroud in darkness the dreadful state of the tomitrv, have taken care to publi.-h no official fttiriij of crime. But, happily for our subject, torn the statistical information which Dr. Bow ii .f procured , some time since, by order of the imisb government, for commeivial purposes, and which has-been printed by order ot Parlia ment, the annual average of murders in the Papal States can b ..safely reckotn d at 339, uliich, as : the population is only 2.908,115, g'lVtrS SiViOVe ONE HCNDREO AND THIRTEEN to .-each "million of the population, or twenty-tight tniies moie thn iu England ! But it seems tti;it P' pcry owns a more fearful Aceldama than this. For in the neighboring kingdom of Naples, 'which is, if possible more Popish than the Papal States themselves, and in which, in 1S4S, the Pope took refuge when flying from hi, own subjects, the criminal calendar of one jear as given in Mittermaier and that the vear 1832, long before the sceues of the last re vj.'utiou contains the awful uumber of 1045 murders which, as the population was then little over 5,000,000, makes one hundred and fcEVENTr-FouK murders to the midion, or forty thru and a ('times more than in heretic Eug--gund !. While in the whole of Italy, where the Church of Koine is supreme, and where neither llbie nor heretic is tolerated, we gather from the same authorities that the yearly average of mtinlers is 19G8 ! We ak Dr. Wiseman if he can tinJ auything to equal this among the Mo-ik-, the Cherokees, or the Catires ; and. this ;'s the land iu wLicb there are upwards of 120, 000 priests and monks' and nuns ! And yet theie are stiil fouud Popish priests and news paper editors wlio have the ignorance, or the .'audacity, or both, to raise the question of the 'comparative- morality 'of Protestant and Popish countries. .. Who is not struck with horror at this com parative, tli-re-rard of human l.fe in lands which are, and ever have been, under Popish leaching an t toiv.rol Popery is as he was in the days when she wielded agaiust the Reformers the poient weapons of the toich and the sword, as it they we're diseased limbs for which no remedy was iefi but the kuife and cautery. Cruel and murderous as ever, siie still paints her own poi naiture iu blood, though now ,it is mostly the okmi ol uer own-Uapless children. Surely ifthere is any foundation whatever for the- u cx raordi nary statements, the eulogists of i li me have reason to be ashamed at the revel a ion. Ibe statistics in regard to the beventh Commandment are still more di-graceful. Ac coiding to returns made to Parliament in 1851, four per ce is the ratio of illegitimate children in Lundoii. Iu Paris it is estimated at thirly P't per cent and the same in Brus.-els. In iinuich it is -forty-eiyht per cent. In Vienna tuoie than fifty per cent. Does the reader exclaim Can this have a parallel in the civilized world ? Yes, it has a parallel; yea, and is far outdone in another European capital and that is the holy City of Ro7iu. 'e have fouud that the Pope aud his Cardiua's have taken good care to publish no initial returns of the country. But from the kalian statistics, collected by .Mittermaier, it ap m that the yearly average of foundlings ex in the city of Rome, is 3,160, while the "nuai average of its births is, 4,373 !!! This is aty containing, exclusive of Priests, Monks ' d Nuns, about 130,000 souls. And it is stated 111 Lr. bowling's 'Report, that 73 per cent of ': es wretched foundlings d e in the Roman 'bundling establishments.

At the mention of one of these rural goddess es how many good thingl of which they are mis tresses pop into our heads T We involuntarily think of butter rich, alnd nice, chickens fat and nicely dressed with a dish of gravy close by, nice boiled hams, cabbages, pickles, strawberries, jellies, citron, fec, besides ajhost of fat pigs and turkeys for extra occasions. There is always something refreshing to a man, in the idea of a country life, especially to one whose earl days were spent on a farm, and he can fully appreciate what wie mean,, when we say, that for real enjoyment,so!id happiness and domestic felicity, the country life surpasses the- city a thousand fold. Lithe city, formality, il .a 1. 11 . ! m mat ciuu stupid round ot nonsensical, fashiona ble duties must be observed ; the hours for visit ing are adopted, the time for social enjoyment is allotted and the amusements for the evening or morning, in many instances, are prescribed. These laws must be obeyed or the offender is considered a 14 green Vn" by the fashionables, and perhaps justly so, and the consequence is. a smart bit of gossip gets afloat, the burden of whjch, is, to the effect that " such an one called at such an unusual hour, staid at such a place until such a late hour," in'roduced srlJScjch an unknown topic or amusement arid oy his unheard of rudeness grossly insulted the daugh ter of such a Mr. B., or Lawyer C., or Dr. D. Against the observance of such formalities in a city or town we urge no objection, nor do we murmur, that he who violates etiquette in the smallest particular, should be properly censured, but the point we had in view when commencing this article was to draw a comparison between the advantages which a fanner's daughter and a city lady have for social and; intellectual injoy ment. We have often heard farmers in-, their great zeal for the enjoyment of, their daughters, say, " well, it is so dull, so monotonous in the coun try, Pm almost determined to break up, sell my farm and move to town, that my daughters may have the advantages of better society." "What an error! What an insult to the in tegrity, the sobriety, the industry and chastity of those living.in the country ! " Better socie ty '." Where could lhere be found better so ctety than that which lias raised up moral and religious people ? True the town might open a wider fie d of acquaintances, might afford the w daughters" a wider sphere for-making suitable conquests, yet at the same time, it would ex pose them to a thousand unthought of vices, (if the term may be applied here) temptations ar d inconveniences. A new1 mode of life must be adopted ; old and agreeable habits must be re strained, new habits formed, formalities adopted expenditures incurred, and a thousand little pleasures forsaken they once enjoyed. A farmer's daughter is, and has a right to be, the happiest being living. Free from those con ventionalities that prove so burdensome where enforced and bbseived. their neat litth chamber is a palace, their home a kingdom, and the so ciety of friends . nd relations around them an empire of loving, sympathising hearts. Every day has its novelties, every hour its sweets. She is subject to no studied expenditures to make a show for a street parade at 4 o'clock every af ternoon, nor to captivate the worthless, vaunting beaux that call at half-past eight at night; but dressed as becometh the sphere in which she moves, she is ready at a moment's warning to entertain her guests, in the parlor, churn the butter, make a bed or discuss jolitics or religion as the case may require. If she has been pro perly raised she will not be at a lo-s in doing either of these things, and when the hour for dinner arrives she modestly begs leave of ab sence, only for a minute, and before you are a ware of the departure of even that minute, she returns, and witn a smile that tells you how hap py 6he i in having you for her guest, she in vites you to dinner. And then what delicacies! what fruits!' what meats, and such puddings, jellies -and sauces ! "You would imagine, if you knew no better, that these were the verv best fixings from some French cookery. We delight to think of such scene if we cannot enjoy them, and they have been impressed itipon us of late, by seeing at our late State Agricultural Fair, so many of the blooming, rosv-cheeked daughteis of our North Carolina Farmers. One thing we will venture to assert, and it is this : if our farmers are lack ing in every thing else, they can exhibit, in their daughters, as beautiful and lovely women as the world can boast. Dying Ocr. We very much regret to see in the Virginia papers, an announcement by the Proprietors of the Southern Literary Mes senger, that unless a great change in its pros pects takes place iu a few weeks, when the vol ume will close, that excellent periodical must go down. Here then is one of the first, best, and last of Southern Magazines about to be dis continued, for want of support ! And why has this support not been supplied ? . We answer, for want of zeal among the people of the STIth, for their own literary improvement. The capi tal has not been furnished to sustain literary enterprise, and the materials have been withheld, which were necessary to meet even the small, demand. THE NEXT STATE FAIR. Now is the very time, in our opinion, to begin to lay plans and make preparations for the next State Fair. If the people, and especially the fanners and mechanics of North Carolina, will only bear this in mind, and conduct all their business for the next twelve months with refer ence to it, there is no question but the next ex hibition will be as brilliant as any may dare to' hope. There is scarcely a "single farm in the State on which some article may not be produc ed which would be worthy of exhibition, and the humblest or most delicate hands can prepare some useful or curious fabric to be exhibited and scld. We insist upon it that the ladies of the State are bound to come to the rescue. It was generally felt at the late Fair that what was wanting was chiefly in the line usually sup plied I'ythem. There are many articles we nrghf. specify which they could easily prepare in abundance, if they would only make up their miuds. We will mention but one, aDd that by way of example. Wby was there so little butter exhibited here last week ? There were but one or two small specimens, and they of a quality by no ' means to be spoken of as a subject of State rride. Now. we Vw-Hpva. and will maintain that the ladies of North Carolina, especially in he Wj-st, can ma!ce a respectable display of but ter at oui next Fair. Will thev do it ! Yes, is hard word to extort from the sex, but they ave a practical way of responding in the affirm ation which we hope they will not omit in Oct ober next. . -. 0TJR LATE STATE FAIR. The third annual Fair of the North Carolina State Agricultural Society was opened to mem bers of the Society on Tuesday the 16th, and to the public on Wednesday the '. 7th ultimo, under an aspect of the weather and other con curring circumstances as favorable as could be anticipated. The sky was beautifully clear and serene, the air pleasantly warm, and everything auspicious for a brilliant occasion, with the sin gle exception of the dust, which for the third time interfered with the comfort and pleasure of the assembled multitude. This condition of the weather continued till near the close of the Exhibition, when a warm rain setting in, at the same time laid the dust and hastened the de parture of the people. Pre iously to the opening of the Fair, con siderable exertion had been made, under the. direction of the Executive Committee, to pre-' pare the enclosures and buildings in improved style for the occasion. ' The increased order and system displayed in the arrangements and conduct of the Fair, clearly showed that much experience had been acquired from the difflcul- - ties and mistakes of former exhibitions, and we only regret hat some important matters of a minor character were left too rjaueh to the discre tion of subordinate agents. TThat some mem bers of the editorial corps were excluded from the courtesies and accommodations so generally tendered to the press on such occasions else where, was, we are sure, not contemplated or designed by the Executive Committee. It will however be well that the' Committee for the next year should bear in mind bow much the an nual exhibition must depend for its eclat and success upon the facilities extended to members of the editorial profession. Now that the exhibition is over, and we are . permitted to review it. with calmness and im partiality, we must take the liberty to utter our sober sentiments in regard to it. By some who witnessed it, it has been pronounced a brilliant affair, and by others equally friendly to its objects, it has been publicly character ized as a failure. The truth lies between the two. Considered as a grand popular convention, a pleasant re- - union of the sons and daughters of North Car olina, in the capital of the State, forgetting for a season the differences of sect and party, and mingling together in delightful social inter course, the late Fair far surpassed, jn the num ber of the attendants and the interest of the scene, either of those that have preceded it Many of the most distinguished men and love liest women of the State graced it with their presence, and the concour-e of strangers from distant counties was equal to our largest expec tations. AYe must however confess that a general dis appointment was manifested at the falling off in the number and variety ofarticles on exhi bition. That Floral Hall contained a meagre collection of domestic articles, that the staljls for stock were only partially occupied, and that the number of farming and mechanical imple ments was comparatively small, must have been apparent to every person who visited the Fair. In these features it was undoubtedly a "failure," and it would be well for the friends of agricultural improvement in North Carolina to feel the full force and mortification of the' statement. But we are by no means willing to admit that this reproach belongs to the exhibi tion on the ichtd-c, considering the circum stances that conspired to interfere with its suc cess. The beautiful displays of North Carolina productions, in several of the departments, the exquisite character of the workmanship in some of the articles of Mechanics' Hall, and more es pecially the elegance and ingenuity illustrated by many individual objects, all forbid that we should consider the exhibition unworthy of the State and of the day. Foreign articles were comparatively few, but the displays of native industry were such as to encourage us to more generous efforts in the future. We refer our readers to the Premium List in another part of our columns, for information in regard to the character of the specific articles exhibited. We would not undertake to give a minute deseription of the objects of merit which passed under our review, because a want of time and space, and a desire to be impartial, warn us against the task. We would gladly mention the names of many of the more suc cessful exhibitors, but their number was too great to be recorded. Let all take encourage ment from past success or from the success of others, to prepare early for the next Fair, and contribute to it with icreased zeal and enlarged liberality. Let it occupy a prominant place in the thoughts of the people throughout the year, and perhaps the word "failure" will not be ut tered again. Cultivator. NEWS DEPARTMENT. RETURN OF DR. KANE FROM THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION We announced in the telegraphic- department of Friday morning's Express, th arrival at New York, of the propeller Arctic aod barque lielease, sent to the Arctic region in search of Dr. Kane, bringing back the gentleman and his long missing compan ions, with the exception of three, - who had died. Dr. Kane sailed" from New York in the brigantine Advance on the 3lst of May, 1853, for the Polar Seas, in search of Sir John Franklin and his com panions, taking with him a variety of instruments for scientific purpo-e, and a supply of provisions for a three years' cruise. His entire ship's compa ny consirted of seventeen persons. The iollowiug came home in the Release : Dr. Kane, United States Navy; John W. Wilson, Amos Bonsall-, Dr. J. J. llaynes, Augustus Son tag, Henry Goodfellow, George Stephenson, Wm Morton and Thos. Hickey. In tlie Arctic : Hen f ry Brooks, Boatswain U. S. N.; Jas. McGarry, George Riley, Wm. Godfrey, Charles Blake and Geo. Whittle. Lieutenant Hartstene commanded the expedition fitted out for the relief of Dr. Kane, pursuant to an act of Congress, which sailed from New York on the 4th of June last. The expedition consisted of two vessels, the propeller Arctic, and the barque Release, which were officered as follows : Officers of the Rebpge. Henry J. Hartstene, lieut. commandinjvV'illiam Lovell, acting mas ter ; Joseph P. Fyffe, passed midshipman ; Elisha R. Kane, assistant surgeon ; Van Rensselear Hale, boatswain.'; Officers of the Arctic. Charles C. Semms, lieut. commanding ; Watson Smith, acting master ; Harman Newell, engineer ; Samuel Whiting, act ing boatswain. The arrival of the expedition at New York on Thursday created intense excitement, and hundreds flocked down to the -wharf. Dr. Kane, as soon as possible jumped into a carriage and proceeded to the residence of Henry Grinnell, Esq., through whose munificence his expedition was fitted out." He met with a most heartily reception from Mr. G. ' I have no Advance with me," said Dr.. Kane, alluding to the loss of his vessel, which as we have stated, he was obliged to abandon in the ice. "Never mind that," replied Mr. Grinnell ; "so long as you are safe, that is all we care about. Come into the parlor," he added, "and let us I. ear the whole story." And Dr. Kane proceeded at one to relate I lie story of his second voysge ro the Arctic regions, the perils and danger to which he was exposed, his adventures, and still more wonderftd escape. He was obliged, he said to abandon the Advance in lat itude 78.45, after having penetrated a far as 8'2.30f whinh was further than any other navigator had gone, with the exception of Captain Parry, who reached the latitude of 83.15. Whi'e here he saw the Polynva or open sea stretching away off to the north farther than the eye could reach. the winter of 1854-55. The extreme severity of the previous season made it evident that the brig could not be libera ted before the winter set in. She was fast impoun ded in the centre of a large field of ice. The pr ywkrns, although abundant, were pot -calculated to resist scurvy ; and the fuel, owing to the emergen cy of the previous winter, was deficient in quanti ty. Under these circumstances Doctor Kane, with a party of volunteers on an attempt to reach the mouth of Lancaster Sound, in hopes of mee'ing the English expedition, and thus giving relief to his associates passed in an open boat over the track of Baffin's travel, riding out a heavy gale. Thej fonud an uninterrupted barrier of ice, extending ib one great horseshue from Jones' to Murchinson'i Sound, and were forced after various escapes to re turn to the brig. During the winter which ensued they adopted the habits of the Esquimaux, living up n raw wal rus meat and surrounding themselves by walls of moss. In spite of these precautions the scurvy ad vanced with steady progress ; but by the aid of a single team of dogs Dr Kane succeeded in effect ing a communication with a settlement of Esqui maux seventy miles to the Southward, and by or ganizing a hunt relieved the party. At one time every man of the expedition except Dr. Kane and Mr. Bonsai were confined to their bunks with scur vy ; but by a providential interp ition the party escaped without a doath. escape to the soith. The gieat belt of ice made it clear that no reli f expeditions from the South could reach the party in time to prevent the imprisonment of a third winter, wnicti, with their aenciency ot tuel, w uld have proved most disastrous, if not fatal. Under these circumstances, Dr. Kane wisely determined to a bandon his brig, and attempt to i scape to die South by a combination of boats and sledges. In accor dance with this view they left the brig on the 17th of May, the temperature at that time being five degress below zero. They crossed a belt of ice eighty-one miles in diameter, dragging the boats behind them, and carrying four ot iheii sick com rades by means of a dog sledge. After an actual travel of 361 miles, they reached Cape Alexander and embarked in open water. Their guns supplied them with animal foi d, no food being carried in the boats, excepting breadstuff and tallow. From Cape Alexander they travelled to the South ward, sometimes over ice, sometimes through wa ter, shooting duck and sea, and eolWtinsr nough ogs to keep the party in good condition. At Cape York they burned up their spare boats and sle iges for fuel, and left the coast, striking out into the open sea of Melville Bay, steering fur the North Danish settlements of Greenland, Here the)' were provi dentially landed on the 6th August, in vigorous health, after a travel of 1,300 miles in 8 1 days of constant exposure. From Upernivik, the largest of these settlements, the)' took passage in a Danish trading vessel for England. By great good fortune they touched at Disco, where they were met by Capt Hartstein's expedi tion. This searching expedition having found the ice of Smith Sound still unbroken, but having com municated with the Esquimaux, had heard of the departure of Dr. Kane, and retraced their steps. The expedition has to mourn the loss of three of its comrades, two of whom perished by lock jaw, and one from abcess following a frozen extremi'y. They may be said to have fallen in the direct dis charge of their duty. Their names are, acting car penter Christian Chilsen, Jeffer on Baker and Pe ter Shulwrt, volunteers. APPEARANCE OF THE SAVIGVTORS. A northern latitude is eminently conducive to the development of hair and fat. At least the samples of its effects in the persons of the returned Arctic navigators yesterday would unavoidably led us to this conclusion. Every one was stout and rosy and as no razor had married the beards of the mariners since their departue from these shores, ever' face was covered with a sturdy growth of hair that was perfectly refreshing to behold. Dr. Kane himself wore a beard of patriarchal proportions,in the curners of which still lingered the silver traces of his resi dence within the frio;id zone. Fatal Railroad Accident. At two o'clock on Thursday morning, Wm. In skip, a fireman on a freight engine, was killed at Kiugwood tunnel, un der the following circumstances, as det-iled in the Wheeling Argus : It appears that two trains were ascending the inclined planes, which were wet and very slippery, so much so that when the foremost train had near ly reachecj one of the summits the wheels lost their hold, and the heavy engine and cars slid back with great velocity, striking the other ascending train, damaging its engine, destroying the tender, and causing injuries to Inskip which resulted in his death about five hours nfterward. Hi thighs were crus'ied, one hand nearly cut off and he eceived severe internal injury in the upper poriou of his left side. Several of the cars of the di-scemling train were very badly broken.

The ceilings over us and the carpets we tread on, are hallowed by Art. Art win ls the railway throuo-h tho mountains and the mud: makes her machines of wood and iron, to act as if with knowl edge and annihilates space with lightning tamed down to the tutelege of a boy. Nothingis too lofty for her touch and nothing too humble. A new proof of this old conviction, has just fallen un der our notice, in the shape of a Cathartic Pill, from the Laboratory of that world renoMrned Chemist Doctor J. C. Ayer. , If we understand the subject, he has carried that article to the farthest perfection of which it Ls ca pable. Instead of employing Drugs in its com position, as we have always thought the necessary and only way, he has with consummate skill ex tracted the virtues of the medicine to be employed and combined them alone in their purity togeth er. The composition is then mixed and rolled by machinery and steam power into a speroid pill which is wrapped in an envelope of gelatine, for protection from the effects of weather or time, and then thickly coated with sugar, to serve as its passport over the palate. . Notwithstanding all thin 3 farmers or the South, you have now an opportunity to secure for your selves and families a monthly repository xf the most useful information on all subjects connected with the practical management of the farm and the household, and a convenient vehicle for your thoughts and suggestions on the same subjects which you may desire to communicate to others. It is our design to rill the "Caro lina Cultivator" with a Variety of short, pointed, and useful selections, adapted to the seasons, culled from a large number of valuable exchanges; to invite contributions from every quarter, wherever experience may have acquired a new lesson in the art of cultivation or domestic industry; and in our editorial columns to condense such important additions to our stock of recent information as cannot be otherwise compressed into our limited pages. We will also present our readers with all the more important items of intelligence connected with the general advancement of agricultural knowledge, and endeavor inr every proper way to stimulate the industry and enterprise of our fellow citizens. The publisher of the " Carolina Cultivator " will be aided in the Editorial de partment of the paper, by gentlemen fully competent to make it one of the' best Agricultural Papers in the pountry, and also by several able members of the State Agricultural Society, at whose earnest solicitation the work has been undertaken.
