Re » Statistics of Van Diemen's, Land. 
Table 43 states the number of Sheep and Cattleslaughtered 
in the two chief towns of the Colony in 1849, and shows an 
increase upon the year of 11°1 per cent. of the former, and 
0°6 per cent. of the latter respectively. 
_ Tables 44 to 58 are a group forming the Religious Sta- 
tistics of the Colony for 1849, setting forth in detail the 
number and names of the clergymen and other ministers of 
religion and religious instructors of the several denominations 
of Christians, and where they are respectively allocated ; the 
emoluments enjoyed by them collectively and individually, 
and the source whence derived; the number of places for 
the celebration of Divine Worship possessed by each Body 
respectively ; the number of Baptisms performed at each 
church and chapel, &c. 
An epitome of the facts thus collected, placed in a tabular 
form, will doubtless possess more interest than any more 
lengthened statement: it being premised that the Census 
of 1847 is neces¢arily taken as the basis of the present 
comparison. \

Looking to the evidence afforded by the ratio of Baptisms to 
population, the Church of England shows by comparison 
a decrease of 9°35 per cent., while the Church of Scotland, 
on the contrary, has increased her numbers, judging by the 
same test, 2°49 per cent., the Church of Rome 4'13 per 
cent., and the Wesleyans 3°7 per cent.
