[se* Toi* Tim*..] It is said that there are at present 497 churches, cbapels and missions of all de nominations in the Metropolis—a gain of 98 in the last 10 years. Of these churches and the like, 402 are set down as Protestant, with accommodations for 285 00 ) persons. The Episcopalians have the most of a'l the Protestant churches with 52,806 sittings. The teriaus have 69 churches, with 43,241 bit tings. The Methodists have 61 churches, with 30,766 sittings. Baptists have 48 churches, with 26,912 sittingo. The Reformed Dutch have 28 churches, with 14,986 sitings; The the Lutherans 23, with 8,891 sitting churches, 0 . Roman Catholics have 57 with 71,784 sittings, the largest Dumber of any sect in the city. As it is estimated that the present population of New York proper is from 1,250,000 to 1,300, 000, more than three-quarters of all the inhabitants could not get into church if th-y should want to. But they do not want to, obviously. If they did, plenty 0 f accommodation would be pretty sure to be furnished. It is asserted that not muc h over half the seating generally" capacity needed. of therity churcl esis Many of the churches are never half full except on special occasions. On'y the Roman Catholic edifices are likely to be thronged at any time. This is not a cburch-goinsr town. The working classes, outside of the Irish and a few Germans, do not usually attend church; and there are a great many educated Americans who invariably stay at home on Sunday.
