Mr- Wilde'# information. was obtained from the latins and Jewish rabbis; Dr. Richardson's from a Turk; Mr. Joliffe'e from a Christian; and Mr. Buckingham's from a Jew. It i« better to consider the population aa two claaaes: 1, The resident*; and 2, The partial residents, or foreigner*. The resident popalation consists of— 1, Jews; 2, Mohammedans; and 8, Christians. The last class is again subdivided into Greets, Latins, and Armenians. The Jews hate been variously estimated from 8,000 to 10,000. Dr. Richardson gives their supposed numbers aa 10,000; Wilde ; 8,000 y Mr. Niqolavson, 6,0Q0 or 7,000; Mr. Young, late British consul, at .Jerusalem, 5,000 or 6,000; Lord Nugent,- 4,000; Warburton, 8,500 ; and, Dr. Robinson, 8,000. It ia well known, by those who have taken any trouble about the matter, that the Jaws do not like to give their true numbers, which may arise from a Tmrkiah law forbidding more than 2,000 Jews to reside within the walls ; and, therefore, as Mr. Nieolayson and Mf. Young have both had excellent opportunities of investigating the subject, we may fix the num ber at about 6,000. —« *r l t_ • Keep out of Debt. rath read »r o copy the fblfowibg items from the American Agricrdturut: Haltke Breaking Youkg (Jdtti— — ;s M much advantage in beginning with a colt as with a boy. ft Is se„ business to ttfo« ftrmeri to break a itout four tear-old to the halter, and to handling; but begin with a sucking colt, and you hate an easy teak.

Like a tired traveler taking rest Under the arch of tDlue. ng a strong —  saio pa*etoent, ad there wti left uncovered by the carpet throWn ovei ft to preserve it (Vom injury, and the pulpit in centre of the churoh. with a cupola over it, both inlaid with xnothcr-of pearl and tortoise-shell; while the pillars, which are covered with porealaia tiles with blue crosses and other deqjgnsoutham, up to a certain height, and the altars covered with rioh embroidery, and cbureh vessels, filled up the background. On the left inasmall recess is what the priests term the sanctuary of Bt. James, sculptured in white marble, and adorned with painting and gilding; this is said to be the precise spot on which be was beheaded. Passing on, we came to the vestibule, where we were shown two large stones ; it is said that one of them was taken from that part of the river Jordan where wMn §t, Johnbaptized him ; and that the other is part of the rock against which Moses broke the' tables of the law at Meant Sinai. Near to the convent is a small Armenian chapel, which is statad to be built on the spot where the house of the High Priest Annas formerly stood. Leaving this, we passed the laser-houses on the left, where the apart from the rest fit the population, and. went out of the Zion gate, which is the southern gate ofthe city, and leads to the summit of that part of Mount Zion which is without the walls. Near to the Zion gate is an Armenian chapel, very ill-shaped and remarkably gloomy in-its appearance, which is built upon the site of the palace of Oaiaphas, the High Priest; within it is an altar inclosing a block of compact lime-stone, about seven feet Jong, three broad, and a loot thick, which is exposed in some places for the devout pilgpms to kiss it.— This is affirmed to be the stone which closed the mouth of the sepulchre of our Saviour. A few paces to the right of this chapel is the Christian burying-place, with its flat tombstones marking the last resting place of many a Greet and Latin. A short distaneo from the cemetery is the placo where the Virgin Mary expired, ' and tharpillar on the north side of the gate of' Zion, or David, as it is sometimes is the spot where the cock stood and crowed when Peter-denied his Master. We are now fairly on Mount Zion, one of tho four hills Upon which Jerusalem formerly stood; viz., Mount Zion on the southeast; Mount Moriah .on the southwest; Area on the north west; and Beze. !tha on tho northeast of the present ly.— Zion, which was highest, was formerly Occupied by the upper city, "the City of David" here was the residence of the ark, the palace of the kings of Judah; here our Saviour celebrated his last passover, and here the disoiples assembled on the day of pentecoet. Desolate as Zion now is, deprived of her bulwarks of former days, and. "ploughed as a field," yetH is doubly interesting for that very desolation, because, as we walk about Zion, and go round about, "tell the towers thereof," and gate upon tR Valleys below, we feel that the words of prophesy aft fulfilled, for where her palaces once stood barley now waves, and the goats now browse on the scanty herbage on its terraced and sloping ridges. At its foot, about, 150 feet below us, JS the Valley of Hinaom, oalletj Wady Jehennam, a narrow, steep, and rocky place where the Jews sacrificed to Baal and Moloch, causing their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire; and before us is tho Hill of J&vil Counsel. it one the firan Dpen face in kles—how, like wImM, it will Stat -*rt I, And (hen its traasforowit has be?n known to change i gov - D into a mask of brass—the man a callous trickster !

And then for raiment—what warmth in a threadbare coat, if the tailor's receipt be in the pocket; what Tyran purple in the waistcoat, the Test not owed for; how glossy the well-worn hsj, if it corors not the aching head of a debtor ! Next, the home sweets, the out-door recreations of a free man.

( that makes the heart quake at the haunted flresj.de ; debt, the invisible demon that walks abroad with a man, now quickening his step, now making him look on all sides like a hunted beast, and bring to his face the ashy hue of death, as the unconcious passer-by glanoes at him. Poverty is a very bitter draught, yet many—rfnd sometimes with advantages—b« gulped down. Though the drinker make wry faces, there may, after all, be a wholesome goodness in the cup. But debt, however courteously it may be offered, ,is the cup of a syren, and the wine, spiced ind" delicious though it be, in eating poison. Thef matt out' of debt, though with a flaw in his jerkin, a crack in Bis shoe-leather, and a hole in his JiWt, is still the son of liberty, free as the singing, lark above him ; but thedebtor, though clothed in the utmost braveiy, what is he but a serf upon a holiday—* slave to be reclaimed at any instant by his owner, the creditor V " My son, if poor, see wine in the «m-only wear, and acknowledge a white-Wash garret the fittest hoUsing-place for a gentleman;.1 Dp this, and flee debt ; so shall thy heart.bti at attd the sheriff be confounded. 8.

Jan. 1-W. Now shall thy honse he desolate, Tliy glory now shall close; 1. Nor leavo one trace of ruined state, To tell Where Salem rose.—Dus. A residence in Jerusalem has something very peculiar in its associations—it is so different from other cities, so motionless, so gloomy and dispiriting, so silent and forsaken, that it appears more like a oity of the dead than one having such a vast population. Every spot has its Ule—each rock its tradition. This pool, or that tomb, are both rendered memorable by some historical event, and the very trees share in the veneration with which everything connected with the Holy City is held. If yott want amusement, it is hot to be found—unless a little more bustle than usual in the bazzars, which are generally orowded, will satisfy yba. Perhaps a ramble to Bethlehem, or a lounge in the cafes, may please you; but, despite all your endeavors, there is no possibility of being amused in the city. When any travellers arrive they arc weary, and seem to partake of the spirit of the place, so that you are obliged to retreat to your hotel, and dream away the hours of evening amid clouds-of tobacco-smoke and dismal domestics. If you rise from your divan and take a turn upon the roof of the house, you have not grand qiountsins to gaze upon, such as Gasper Poussin loved to paint, nor glorious sunsets, with the golden vistas of Claude, that are to be seen elsewhere—as On the ocest.of Syria, or even Palestine. There are no Ostade-looking interiors, or Teniers,'Uke hovels, to gate upon in this C4ty.«— Pleasing recollections of die paintings of Rembrandt, Murillo, Guido, Leonardo da Vinci, Miehaol Angclo, and Raphael, come crowding: into the mind, associated with the poetical effusions of Heber, Tasso,Dale, Millmau, Montgomery, Roscoe, and Knox; and as your eyes winder from dome to minaret, and from vale to mount, aid from rained wall to stunted tree, the queen of night oasts her placid light on yon rugged hills and castled steep, and "All heigth. depth, wlldness, grandeur, gloom below, Touched by the smile, lone moon I in one Dflld splendor grow."

The partial rcsidehts or foreigners, condiet of people from nearly evenr count 17, and may be calculated, lb round numbers, at from 4,000 to 9,000. The fluctuation of the partial residents is very considerable on account of the great numbers of pilgrims that are annually shipped to Jaffa, and travel thence to the Holy City. It is affirmed that upwards 30,000 pilgrims visit Jerusalem every Easter.The glory of Jerusalem has, indeed, departed ■, for when Titus besieged the city, the number of the Jews was 1,300,000, and the Arabians state that the population of the city when attacked sod taken A.D. 1099, exceeded 200,000.

There is not anything peculiar is this oonvent, exeept that it is the place where the pilgrims obtained a certificate of having visited the Holy City, and perhaps, its irregular form girded by strong Walls. Prom this we passed on to the oity oastle, which is built on the ruins of the Turris I'sephina of old Jerusalem, end is now called the Castile of David, and sometimes the tower of Hlppicus. It is situated near the vale of Gihon, which it overhangs, tradition affirms that it is one of the three towers built by Herod, and spared by Titos when the temple and the oity were destroyed. The lower part of one of the towers is evidently very ancient, and composed of large stones beveled lit the edges.
