Is there a way to do statistics with tethereal on a captured file without seeing all descriptions of the packets scrolling on the screen or logged in a file?

Unfortunately, no. There should probably be a flag to suppress the printing of the results of packet dissection; I don't know whether the existing "-q" flag should also do that or not - one could argue that suppressing that is different from suppressing the count of packets captured, and therefore that a new flag would be a good idea, but I could see "-q" used for that.
