We have here the population of the Jews of Cincinnati, but no other religious society keeps a full register of its members, so that the number of each can only be a subject of estimate. The follow- ing table, which is taken from the registers of the Roman Catholic churches here, affords an inference of the numbers of their members :

COURTS OF JUDICATURE.

V. PUBLIC AUTHORITIES.
COURTS OF JUDICATURE.
BESIDE the administration of township magistrates residing in Cin- cinnati, and of the Mayor, who derives his authority under the city charter, there are four courts held here : the Supreme Court of Ohio, the Court of Common Pleas, the Superior Court, and the Commercial Court of Cincinnati.
1. THE SUPREME COURT OF OHIO holds its session here, in the month of March, annually. The constitution and laws of this State have conferred upon the Supreme Court, original jurisdiction, concurrent with that of the Common Pleas Court, in all civil cases at law where the cause or matter in dispute exceeds one thousand dollars ; and appellate jurisdiction from the Court of Common Pleas, the Superior Court, and the Commercial Court of Cincinnati, in all cases in which these courts have original jurisdiction. This court has also original jurisdiction, concurrent with that of the Court of Common Pleas, of all offenses, the punishment whereof is capital. It is also invested with authority to issue all writs which may be necessary to enforce the due administration of justice, and for the exercise of its jurisdic- tion, agreeably to the usages and principles of law.
2. THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS for Hamilton County holds three sessions annually for the transaction of civil business,-four for the trial of criminal causes. This court has original jurisdiction in all civil cases, both in law and equity, where the sum or matter in dis- pute exceeds the jurisdiction of justices of the peace. It has also exclusive cognizance of all crimes, offenses, and misdemeanors, the punishment whereof is not capital, and concurrent jurisdiction with the Supreme Court of all crimes, the punishment whereof is capital. It has exclusive jurisdiction likewise, of all matters of a probate and testamentary nature-though the new constitution formed by the Convention, but subject to the adoption or rejection of the people in the month of June ensuing, among other changes in the judicial system, directs the establishment of a new and distinct court, to which the sole jurisdiction of probate matters shall be confided. The Court of Common Pleas, upon appeal from the decisions of the

county commissioners, supervises the public economy of the county. It revises the proceedings of justices of the peace in civil matters upon certiorari and appeal, determines all contested elections of sheriffs and other county officers, grants licenses, fixes the rates of ferriage, and appoints inspectors of meat, flour, &c.
3. THE SUPERIOR COURT was established in 1838, for the purpose of facilitating the dispatch of business on the civil docket of the Court of Common Pleas. It has concurrent jurisdiction with the Court of Common Pleas, in all civil causes at common law and in chancery, wherein the last mentioned court has original jurisdiction. The three sessions of this court commence in January, June, and October.
4. THE COMMERCIAL COURT OF CINCINNATI was established in 1848, and for the same purpose as that for which the Superior Court was or- ganized, viz .: to expedite the administration of justice in civil causes. It has concurrent original jurisdiction with the Court of Common Pleas of all civil cases at law, founded on matter of contract, whether written or parol, expressed or implied. This court holds three terms in a year, commencing on the first Mondays in January, May, and October.
5. The MAYOR, in his judicial capacity, has exclusive authority in all causes for the violation of city ordinances, beside possessing such criminal jurisdiction and powers as are vested in Justices of the Peace.
6. JUSTICES OF THE PEACE .- Of these, there are seven in the city. They are conservators of the peace; their jurisdiction in civil cases, is, in general, limited to the townships in which they are elected and reside ; and under certain restrictions and limitations they have cog- nizance in all cases where the matter in dispute does not exceed one hundred dollars. Their jurisdiction, however, in criminal matters. and in the administering of oaths, the issuing of subpoenas for wit- nesses in causes pending before them, &c., is coextensive with the county in which they reside. Justices have no jurisdiction in actions of assault, and assault and battery, or in actions of ejectment, replevin, slander, verbal or written; or in actions on contracts for real estate, or in which the title to lands and tenements may be drawn into question.
SUPREME COURT .- Peter Hitchcock, Rufus P. Spalding, William B. Caldwell and Rufus P. Ranney, Judges. Isaac G. Burnet, Clerk ; S. G. Burnet, Deputy.

LEGISLATIVE AND EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS.
THE fiscal and prudential concerns of the city, with the conduct, direction and government of its affairs, devolve on the mayor, and a board of trustees of three members from each ward, usually known by the name of the City Council.
The Mayor is elected biennially, on the first Monday in April. It is made his duty by the charter, to cause the laws and ordinances of the city to be duly executed and enforced, to inspect the conduct of the subordinate officers of the city, and to bring to punishment all negligence, carelessness and violations of duty. He is the keeper of the public seal of the city, issues all licenses, commissions and per- mits, under the authority of the city council, has power to administer oaths, take and certify depositions, and to certify the proof and ac- knowledgment of deeds and other legal instruments. An appeal lies from his decisions to the court of common pleas for the county of Hamilton.
The trustees, composing the city council, are elected annually on the first Monday of April. They must be freeholders, and residents of the city three years previous to the election. They determine the rules of their own proceedings, and it is made their duty to keep a journal thereof, open to the inspection of every citizen. They are required to take an oath of office, administered by the mayor, and to elect from their own body a president, who is to preside over its meetings, and, when necessary, act as its representative ; and a re-

corder, whose duty it is to keep in his custody the laws and ordin- ances of the city. They elect from the qualified voters, a city clerk, whose duty it is to keep a journal of their proceedings. They are empowered to appoint all collectors, assessors, surveyors, inspectors, street-commissioners, health-officers, weighers of hay, measurers of wood, lime and coal, &c. They have the control and manage- ment of all the real and personal estate of the city, but are expressly prohibited from banking, and restricted in borrowing, for city purposes, to an amount of not more than five thousand dollars in any current year. They have power to establish a board of health, to organize a city watch, establish and regulate markets, wharves and fire-companies, and to license and regulate public shows. They are authorized to abate nuisances, to appropriate ground for new streets or alleys, to open, straighten, widen or repair streets, to license and regulate wagons, drays, &c., and to levy and collect taxes for city purposes. It is made the duty of the council, annually to publish for the information of the citizens, a particular statement of the receipts and expenditure of the public moneys. For their ser- vices the members receive one dollar per day, which is restricted to the actual meetings of the board.
A city treasurer, and marshal, a wharf and three market masters, are elected biennially by the qualified voters of the city, on the first Monday in April.

PRIVATE BANKING
From the limited amount of banking capital, heretofore allotted to Cincinnati by the Ohio Legislature, the business of Private Bank- ing has become an interesting feature in the growing commercial operations of our city. Among the most important Private Bank- ing institutions of Cincinnati, may be named,
ELLIS & MORTON, Corner of Third and Walnut Streets.
This Banking House has a large list of customers among the mer- chants of our city. Persons who keep accounts at this bank, are allowed six per cent. interest per annum on their accounts, and are charged at the rate of twelve, for discounts-thus if they do not bor- row more money in the aggregate, in the course of the season, than they have to their credit, the cost is less to them than though they borrowed at six per cent., and obtained nothing upon their balance.
This house does not vary their rate of discount-it remains invari- ably the same, whether money be plenty or scarce ; but they do not buy paper of transient parties, confining themselves at all times, to those keeping accounts with the establishment.
The sales by the firm, of exchanges on the eastern cities for the season past, were upward of ten millions of dollars-their average deposit account during that period, was about eight hundred thou- sand dollars-they draw bills and make collections on the principal cities, east, west, and south. Their bills discounted, range from five hundred thousand to eight hundred thousand dollars, according to the season of the year and demands for money.
This Banking House pays a tax on capital used in business, to the amount of seventy thousand dollars, and holds real estate and other assets of the value of about eighty thousand dollars. It was established in April, 1838, and was about the first to introduce the general system of allowing interest on current accounts.

BANKS AND BANKERS.
T. S. GOODMAN & Co., Main Street, just above Third.
This is an old firm, that does a business similar to that of ELLIS & MORTON. Their list of depositors, however, does not include so large a portion of the active mercantile men of our city, but embraces many who have retired from business, whose accounts are probably more valuable to the banker on that account.
GEORGE MILNE & Co., Third Street, between Main and Walnut.
This House deals very extensively in exchanges, domestic and sterling, and in time bills on N. Orleans and the eastern cities.
They allow interest on deposits only, when there is a special agreement to that effect.
CITIZENS' BANK-W. SMEAD & Co., Main, between Third and Fourth Streets.
As this is the oldest of the Private Banks, so it is one of the most extensive in its operations. Its annual discounts are between five and six million dollars. On the 18th April last, when this sheet went to press, the deposits were $749,274, 7 cents ; discounted, $965,277, 57 cents, and assets $1,046,248, 58 cents, mostly of paper at short dates. The rate of discount varies with the ease or tight- ness of the money market. »Six per cent. interest is allowed on de- posits.
B. F. SANFORD & Co., Corner of Fourth and Walnut Streets.
This is a new Banking House, composed of the old and well- known firm of SANFORD & PARK. Its business is rapidly increasing, their policy of taking time deposits and allowing eight and ten per cent. interest on the same, having attracted public attention, and se- cured to it a large list of valuable depositors. Special deposits for twelve months, draw ten per cent. interest; or eight per cent. for six months.
LANGDON & HATCH, Corner of Main and Court Streets.
This Banking Office is also doing a good business. It enjoys the local advantage of being a convenient place of deposit for a large

number of up-town customers; discounts business notes, buys and sells city orders, and makes collections generally. Interest allowed on money deposited.
GILMORE & BROTHERTON, Main Street, below Columbia.
