A Comparative View of the Tonnage of the United States, from 1815 to the 30th of June, 1843, inclusive. In Tons and 95ths. The first Catholic Bishop in the United States (John Carroll, D. D., of Baltimore) was consecrated in 1790. The Catholics increase rapidly, mostly by emigration from Europe. They have now 21 dioceses, 1 archbishop, and 26 bishops; and, according to the "Catholic Almanac" for 1845, 675 churches and chapels, 592 stations, 572 clergy. men on missions, and 137 clergymen otherwise employed, 22 ecclesiastical seminaries, 220 clerical students, 28 literary institutions for young men, 63 female academies, 29 female religious institutions, and 94 charitable institutions. Summary of the Roman Catholic Church in the United States. [From the Metropolitan Catholic Almanac for 1845.] REMARK. The population here marked, as far as it extends, is from official sources; and if we suppose the aggregate Catholic population of the other dioceses to amount to 260,000, (which cannot fall short of the truth,) we will have 1,071,800, an estimate considerably less than that furnished for several years past.
