■The editor of the N. Y. Hcnild (who by the wny is not very good authority in such matters) gives the follovving, as the result of his obser vatioiis in Europa : " I have been an attentive observer of this matier wherever I have been- in France, in Italy, in Germany, in England and elsewhere. Europa is divided uto two large sects of Chris trans - Proiestant and Cathclic ; but in point of piety and morality, I am persuaded there is very little difTerence betwoen. There is more real religión in the United States; and ihis arises l'rom the Tact, tlmt there every sect have to support their own clergyman. But in Europe, the utmost indifference, if not something woi-83. exists amutig the great mass of population towards all religión. Boih high and löw, educated and ignoranl, exhibit this ir.difrerence, alrnost amounting lo unbelief. 'fhíoughout the i continent - n ltaly, France, Germany - both Cntholic and Protestant - the old churches nre e.xhibiied at all hours, as curiosities, l'i.r hire ; and the very clergymen pocket the money thus collectcci from the travelers. Nonoseem to go to i churcli to perfurm their devolion?. excei)l "ld women, old men and young children. The kings, emperors, and other high official personages, of both Min, nflect t be pious, tod allond reügious services ; bui the great bulk of t!,e eJufated and intelligent. are jast as indifleret.t as the same ciases weie in the old Roman world, in the age of Augustus." The interments at New Orlenns tot ihp '2.r) hours ending on the morningof the 13ih instant, from the Yellow Fever,were 28. From Charity Hospital, to evening ofnma day.lO. Dr. Hawkins, of Baltimore. died on the lOtb, of Yellow Fever.
