SUMMARY OF EDUCATION RETURNS. -The total number of children attending daily schools of all kinds in Scotland was greater in the winter half year of 1833-34 than in the summer half year of 1833; the returns of the several parishes in the above winter half year amounting to 222,453; and to the number of children therein specified must be added an estimated number (64,345), obtained by the rule of proportion, to supply defects in these returns. Hence results a total of 286,798 children under education in Scotland,-a proportion of 11 per cent. upon the resident population, estimated at 2,452,000 at Lady-day 1834. In like manner the actual returns of the preceding summer half year produced a total of 211,397; and with similar supplement (49,456) a total of 260,853, or 10 per cent. on the population of Scotland; but these estimated numbers and proportions are liable to deduction from the form of the question; which, by requiring return of "the greatest number of scholars in any of the respective half years,' ‚” has doubtless produced return of a greater number than attended school at any specified time in the summer and winter half years respectively. But this kind of inaccuracy admits of correction, by combining with the greatest numbers in each half year (286,798 and 260,853) the smallest numbers in each half year (208,384 and 189,266), whereby is produced an average of 236,325, or 92-3 per cent. on the population of Scotland, which 9-63 per cent. includes the estimated numbers additional to the numbers actually returned from the several parishes. The defective returns, which have occasioned and indeed required such estimated addition, must not be deemed evidence of inattention or negligence in the ministers of the several parishes to whom the questions were addressed. The nature of some of the questions, as requiring information beyond the minister's own knowledge, usually prevented him from obtaining a distinct answer to every one of them, insomuch that some part of his return could not but be conjectural or defective; and the latter alternative has frequently been preferred, especially with regard to the questions less essential than others to the main object of the inquiry. Under these circumstances the summary of education in Scotland would appear to disadvantage, unless the defects were supplied by calculated estimate; and thus much it is necessary to premise in its justification. The columns of augmented totals (obtained by the rule of proportion applied to each county), as regarding all Scotland, produce the grand totals mentioned in the remarks appended to the summary of actual returns. An inquiry into the amount of education in England and Wales was made in 1833, when the resident population was estimated at 14,400,000; and the number of children attending daily schools at that time was 1,276,947, or nine per cent. on the said population; besides which the number attending Sunday schools was 1,548,890, or nearly 11 per cent. (10.7) on the population.-Newspaper. COTTON.-The following is a summary of the cotton trade in France, including all the ports, for the last ten years:— Years. Imports. Sales.
