The total number of Protestant niis- 

 Jiionarics emjiloyed by different societies 

 in Europe and America in 1819 was 

 439. This appears from an ennmera- 

 tioii lately jiublished in one of the New 

 York journals. Out of these, the Eng- 

 lish Society for the Propagation of 

 (Christian Knowledge maintained eight ; 

 the College! of Danish Missions main- 

 lain two; that of the IJiiiled Brelhren, 

 V'i(;iity-Gvc ; tliu MctbaUiiit Mis£>ions, 



sixty-live; tliose of English Baptists, 

 seventy-two; the I^ondon Missions col- 

 hclivcly, eiglify-foiir ; the Scotch Mis- 

 sions, twelve ; tlie Church of England 

 Missions, si'veiitv-four ; the L'nited 

 States Eoreign Mission OIHce, thirty- 

 one ; the Amerieaii Baptist Missions, 

 three ; and the American Society of 

 United Foreign Missions, three. These 

 tlifl'crcnt Societies, besides the mission- 

 aries, have to support a great number 

 of farmers, workmen, medical atten- 

 dants, with the wives and children of 

 the missionaries. — The 'J'welve A|)os- 

 lles were supported by no subscription, 

 and in tlieir own lives they seem to 

 have eflected more; than all these mis- 

 sionaries in a century. 



RUSSIA. 



In regard to the gold-mines lately 

 discovered in the Oural mountains, in 

 the vicinity of Catharineburg, Siberia, 

 it lias been observed, that a \ery rich 

 metal entered into the construction of 

 several houses of the town, since wliicli 

 a considerable quantity of gold has been 

 extracted from the soil of which the 

 bricks were made a few years ago. At 

 the outset of the mining operations, 

 pepiles or pieces of gold were foim<l 

 weighing three-quarters of a |)ound. 

 Since the o|)eniug of the galleries, more 

 than 3000 [xtunds weight of gold luivc 

 been collected, and which have arrived 

 at Petersburgh. The Russian senator 

 Soi'MONOF, and Dr. Fuchas, professor 

 of Me<licine in the university of Casari, 

 have returned from a recent journey t(» 

 these mines; and they slate, that the 

 metal is found in ;ibundanee, in the 

 form of golden grains, almost imme- 

 diately under the turf in a bed of pot- 

 ter's clay. The lalxiur of cliildrcu 

 would siiilice to wash and cleanse the 

 auriferous particles of the soil. Amonjf 

 them have been discovered some p^-Q- 

 cious stones ; one of which, rcsemblin";' 

 the sapi)hire, Las received the name of 

 Su'imonof. 



In Poland, some considerable public 

 works are carrying on, at the national 

 charge; snciuis rendering navigable the 

 rivers of Pilica, Nicmeii, Kominka, and 

 Rcdomka. Labourers are also employ- 

 ed in coiiliniiig and strengthening th« 

 banks of the Vistula, in tiie vicinity of 

 Vinnicia, Islianowice, and Birzyaeani, 

 in the districts of Sandoniir and 

 lladoin.
