By a favoring coincidence, the general total of the American eemys taken last year, haa just been received, and wc arc enabled, in conjunction with tho returns made on tho 31st of March fbr England, to measure the absolute progress of the Anglo-Saxon race in i ita two gfaind divisions, anil to compare the laws'of their respective growths in relation to each, other and the rest of the world. It is estimated, including Ireland and thecolo' niesr that there is a grand total of men sharing tho same general tendencies of civilization of 50,000,000, from which is to l>e deifucted the three millions of slaves m the United States, leaving a remainder of fifty-three millions, chief!}' of Anglo-Saxon descent, and deeply impregnated with its sturdy qualities of heart and brain, a? the representatives of *i. _- &?- - -A * uivHunincins stock. Two centuries r.}&> tlierc wns not quite' throe million? of this race 011 the face of the j earth. There are a million more persons of1 Magyar descent, speaking the Magyar lan-' guage, at the present moment in Europe, than were in Europe and America of tins conquering and colonizing people in the time of Cromwell. How vain, then, for men to talk of the political necessity of absorbing small races ! , Sixty years ago the AngloSaXon race did not exceed 17,000,000111 Europe and America. At that timo it was not numerically stronger than the poles. Thirty years ago it counted only 34,000,000, and a fraction more than the population of Central France. In 1851 it is ah earl of every civilizod race in the world. Of races ly? ing within the zones of civilization, the Sclaves alone arc more numerous counted bvheads; .but comparatively few of this plastio nnd submissive stock has yet escaped from the barbarism' of the dark ages. In wealth, energy, and civilization, they are not to be compared with the Frank, the Teuton, and the Anglo-Saxon. N umber is their only clement ,y of strength. , Of all. the races which are now striving for the mastery of the world, to impress on the future of society and civilization the stamp of its otori character and genius, and to make it* law, idiom, religion, manners, government and opinion prevail, the Anglo-Saxon is now unquestionably the most numerous, powerful and active. The day they might possibly^ more been crushed, absorbed, or trampled OUt, like Hungary or Poland, by stronger hordes is gone forever. That it wns possible iit one time for this people to be subdued by violence, or fall a prey to the slower agencies of decline, there Ain be little doubt In 1830, the United Provinces seemed more likely to make a grand figure in the world's history than England. Their wealth, activity, and maritime wrncr ?oro ilm mnct imnminx ... jr- , ? it) Europe. They had all tlio carrying trade to the West in their hands. Their language was spoken in every port. In the great Orient their empire was fixed and their influence paramount. England was then hardly ? known abroad. Her difficult idiom grated oft foreign cars, and her stormy coasts, ro jwd'Xl ?nc curiosity of morecultiv*,' 2?1 travelHad the. thought of the day arriving when Itay single European language woukl be | spoken by miliious of persons scattered over the great continents of the earth, from Cape of Storms to the Arctic Ocean, occurred to any speculative mind, Dutch or English would Mobably have been the tonguo to which ne would nave assigned the marvellous mission. Yet, Holland has fallen nearly de much as the Saxon has risen in the scale of nations. . Her idiom is now acquirer? Vy few. Her merchants conduct their correspondence and transact their business in French or English. Even her writers have many of them olothed their genius in a forcigh oirb. Ob the other hand, our literature ami' language have passed entirely out of this danger, Dutch, like the Welsh, Flemish, Erse, Basque, and other idioms, is doomed to perish as an intellectual medium; but whatever may be the future changes of the world, the tongue of Shakespeare and of ttaoon is now too firmly rooted ever to be tons away. lio longer content with mere preservation, it aims at universal mastery. Gradually It is m taking possession of all the ports and coasts of the workl; isolating nil rival idioms, shutting them up from intercourse with each otfc ' +* ;'4j i , . . er.

No other language is spreading in this wAy. French and German find students among cultivated ir.cn, but English permanently destroys and supersedes the idioms with which it conies in contact. The relative growth of the two great t\ngflo-Saxon States is note worthy. In 1801 the population of Great Britain was 10,042,046. in 1800 that of the United States was 5,810,802, or not quite half. In 1860 the population of the United States was two millions and a third more than thpt of Great Britain in 1851 ; at this moment it proba-. bly exceeds it by three millions. Tho rate of decennial increase in this country is less I lhau 13 percent, whilein America it is about | 35 per cent. Hindoo Widows There nro very many widows fti Iitdias.? They form comparatively a large class of the populution. Nearly every man marries, and some of them havo many wives. Every bride is a child, whilst the husband may be an old .man. Again, a woman once.a widow can nev er, according to the custom of Iliudoos, marry again. Even'it she l>e left a widow, as many arc, when not more than five or six years old, she can never marry. And perhaps there is scarcely any human being more to be pitied than a poor Indian widow. While ! yet a child, or a merry girl, the umn to whom she is married, and who j>crhnpa is quite a stranger to her, though called her husband, dies; immediately she is stripped of herjowcls and her tahli, or marriage .ornament; her dress is exchanged for a widow's robe, her j chief ornament, is shaved off; she begins a life ' of shame and sorrow; her own family now j dislike and nvoid her; they believe thnt the gods have thought her unworthy of the dignity of being a wife, lier husband's death is laid to her charge. It is the punishment of sins which she is supposed to have committed when her spirit was in adifferent Ixnly in a former state of existence; for you know they believe in what is called the transmigration of souls. If auy calamity liefals the family it is Iter evil genius that hiinga it. "The house is cursed for her sake." She must labor and sutler, do all the hard work, and gel nothing in return but Reorn and abuse. 1 All who ought to love and pity her become ' her enemies. 8hc is cast out ami despised ; ! she becomes wicked and miserable, and too 1 ..A... 1- -I 1- - - - uutu cany ueuiu enus nor sport but s;uJ lustorv. Ihit slio may come to her oml in another. : way. Her religion tenches her that the la-st ami most worthy path open to her is to destroy herself; that she ought to hum with the.dead body of her husband. It is certain that in the year 1818 alone, in ouo part of India, no less than 800 widows were burnt on the funeral pile of their dead husbands ; 1 but in the whole country there was at least ' three thousand destroyed at that time. What a dreadful effect of heathenism in one laud! 1 Through the blessed influence of the (iospcl j this crime is no longer allowed ; yet still the marriage of the poor Hindoo widow is con- 1 trary to law, ami she grows up to a life of shame and sorrow; for there in hardly to ' be found a single Hindoo of caste who would dare to marry a young person who li.-u* lost lier husband, however noble her birth, or beautiful her person, or excellent her character.?Juv.
