(From the London Times. } Of course we must pay. The expedition is gone, and the cost has been incurred under the ublic eye, and without Parliamentary protest. here seems, however, to be some probability of this vast amount being utterly thrown away. There is at Pekin a stupid, obstinate, faithless pulation of old Mandarins who direct the af- fairs of the Chinese Empire. They have never yet heen reached, and they do not believe that they evercan bereached. They hear of cities sacked by rebels, and of cities taken a f for- eigners, but they do not believe in Pekin being reached by either. They have no notion that there is any arm long enough to reaeh their haunts. At the worst they trust always to stop a barbarian Envoy at Tien-tsin, or to buy a rebel leader before he gets conveniently near. If we destroy this superstition—if we go straight up to Pekin, as we might as easily as we might march from Salisbury to Devizes, this wretched clique might run or might stay, but we should never have occasion to go there again ‘he Mandarins would have had their lesson Tf. however, all these plenipotentiaries, staff- officers and soldiers and sailors, with their Arm- strong guns and their tremendous stores, are only going to rectify some wordy diplomatic subtlety, and to make something plain upon paper. our money is cast uselessly away. There may be some use in giving the Chinese a lesson at Pekin, but we have positive proof that there is no use in making them sign any quantity of paper. We have got all that paper can give us we have the Yangtse opened and the North opened, according to paper right. All that we ean possibly now usefully do is to show what happens when these paper rights are violated. As to pressing. under such circumstances, for more paper rights, it would be like prosecuting a man who had given you a forged note, and compromising the matter upon his giving you more forged Sotes. In the first instance the acknowledgment of the right to free transit in China was invalu able; but, this having been obtained, any more diplomatic reeognition of that right is. instead of being worth three millions and a nny ineome tax, not worth the peacock’s feather of the Mandarin who, with his tongue in his cheek, may sign it. A Chinese war, properly eon- ducted, and with a just and practical object, would bea payable and decisive thing, pee fiable upon every ground of morality and ex- pediency; but a war for a certain number of scratches of India ink upon a certain quantity ot bamboo paper—and that is what we fear this is likely to be —is something so absurd that we think it will be well for the English public to say of Chinese, as they have said of Arctic expeditions, that the last has gone forth, and that, let who will get into a difficulty in these latitudes, we will spend no more lives and money there 0m - Cutcaco Zovaves —The Courrier des Etats Unis, in a criticism upon the Zouaves, says: These Zouaves are, however, three quarters contraband. Their uniform has nothing, or rather very little. of the uniform of the French corps whose name they have adopted We made a pretty close inspection of them, while they were drilling in front of the City Hall, and we looked in vain for the leggings of the Zounve; his puffy trowsers that rest upon the ealf of his leg; his girdle; his vest; his fez or turban; his heavy. imposing moustache. The sixty-five m -men who arrived on Saturday can take whatever name it pleases them to as- sume. but a Zo-zow of France will be unable to recognise in any of them ihe copy of which he (the Zow-:ox) ia the glorious und brilliant original. They wore, on Saturday, a sort cf searlet red kepi with a black border, a blue waistcoat mixed with orange color and moire antique facings, a vest of dark blue hollowed out like that of the Zouaves, with red and orange ornaments and 4ed/-huttons, and scarlet pantaloons, which fell down to the ankle, not puffed at all. but wrinkled a little at the bot- tom, wita small puffs like those of the French Chasseurs—a puir of ordinary gaiters completes this uniform, which in itself is handsome enough, but which is not that of the Zouaves. We have said that the men of this company bave no moustaches or beard. True, this ia a trifle; but who can picture to himself a Zouave without this marti! ornament to his face? You might as weil paint a heardless sapper, ora tar without whiskers. If these young gentle- men—they are all very young—wore a proud moustache. their aspect would no doubt have some of that ‘touch of ferocity’’ of which the Herald spoke yesterday, but which we, less fortunate, could not discover in those placid figures. The Chicago Zonave belongs to the temperance society. is a sive qua non for admission into the company. This is a very good rule. especially if he is afraid to abuse the bottle whenever he touches it. but the con- fequence of it is that he looks lke a water- drinker, which is not exactly the case with the heroes of Algiers, Alma, Turbigo, and Sol- ferino Wuart Beecowes or tHe Newspapers ?— The Newburyport Herald has the following in- quiry and caleulation, which is quite as inter- esting tothe general public as the mquiry, ‘What becomes of all the pins?’ It says: There are published in this country and Can- ada nearly three thousand newspapers More than one-half are weekly; the remainder are divided into semi-weeklies, tri-weeklies, and dailies. These papers would more than reach around the globe. We have sometimes heard it asked how high would all these journals reach, if piled on the top of each other, just the thickness of one sheet. Some have an- swered, a thousand feet; others, two thousand; others, a mile. But all are wide of the mark. Dr. Ayer, of Lowell, is probably the only man in the United States who takes all the journals of our country, Canada, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia. By actual measurement he has ascertained that in one year his exchanges amount in hight neither to a thousand feet, nor five thousand, nor two miles, nor five miles, nor ten, nor twelve, but to more than fourteen miles' In short, the ee published north of the southern lineof the United States are nearly five times higher than Mount Blanc in Europe—a mountain which overlooks a cir- cle whose ——— is ~~ ae nen we Pay Tinted upon not round over an: tr, oh Printer’s ink spats paper for re- manufacture, and the t amount of r which enters into public journals, after bela perused. is not bound up and laid aside, as it should be, for future reference, but goes to waste. A portion is used for wrapping paper, but, sad as is the reflection, news: rs con- taining so much that has cost \d-labor, sleepless nights and weary days, to waste ‘hurries on to indistinet decay.’ Let each one, after reading these figures, do his own moralizing Ue The Richmond Las apres ives a tabular estimate of the militia of the on States, which makes the aggregate 1,959,782. It adds “ Two millions of men, at least, are now mus- tered in the militia. Upon paper this has a formidable look. In the field, upon muster days, aspect is more ludicrous than fero- cious. Nevertheless, an American has more reason to be proud of the militia than France has of the Imperial Gaard, or England has of her choicest troops, the Life (iuard included, or Russia, Austria, and other d of their colossal agd well disci; armies.

Archbishop Hughes A: ig the Ladies—A Practical Speech. Bishop Hughes distributed the premiums at the Mount St. Vincent Academy of the Visita- tion, near New York, on Tuesday last, and at the conclusion of the exercises addressed the young ladies as follows : ‘My dear children and young ladies :—I have witnessed many anniversaries in which you received the testimonials of merit to which you were entitled, but I do not remember any occasion which excelled the exercises of to- day. But I will not enlarge upon this; there are probably a great many in this audience better able to appreciate the merits of your performances than Iam. We have the honor of having many distinguished persons present with us to-day—not strangers, but friends. Only one thing has troubled us during the ex- ercises—your speeches has made us ssd—but this was to be expected from the nature of the occasion, when friends and schoolmates were about to take leave of each other. But the chief thing that has troubled me is the dilem- ma in which one of the speakers placed the Sisters of Charity by quoting a remark from me. True itis that they have ‘none to over- look them upon this hallowed ground but an- gels,’ unless, indeed, our Jersey friends on the other side of the river may look down upon them. |Laughter | But the dilemma in which they are placed is this: if the term angel can be applied to those good spirits that look down on the Sisters from above, why cannot the same term be applied to the young ladies I sce before me’ Here, then, are the Sistors, be- tween two sets of angels; the one overlooking them from above, and the other looking up to them for guidance and instruction. { Laughter. } Isn't that a dangerous position to place the Sisters in? May not this double compliment from earth and heaven make them vain? [Re- newed laughter, in which the Sisters heartily joined.| » But to return: although it is of the utmost importance, young ladies, that you should have a good education, should be accom- plished, cultivated. graceful and refined, yet there are other things that cannot be Tost sightof. Before another year rolls around [ propose to arrange with the Sisters for a new branch of study inthe Academy. That branch of study is what the French ext] the science of It is the science of keeping house, and that we all know commences with the kitchen. Every young lady, [ don’t care if she be a queen’s daughter, ought to under- stand that department of life. Even though she may not have to practice it, though she may be able to hire her cook, yet she should under- stand it herself, for it may happen some day that the cook will dismiss her. [Grest laugh- ter.] What o peoecsnen she would be in then Well, what I was going to say was that the Sisters should arrange it so that all the girls over thirteen of age should be enabled to spend a portion of the time in the kitchen,and become acquainted with cooking and house- keeping. Tike will be a new bureau of edu- cation. {Laughter.| We shall! then have the theory and sume practice too. ~ Another point and I will close. At the end of another year, if living, and my purse is jong enough, I am going togive a gold medal of not less than $90 in value, to the young lady who will write the best essay, not’ exceeding five pages in length, upon this great new sei- ence I have spoken of Laughter and ap- plause.| a curstne Tue Caampions tv Inevasp—Ruiot at Dra- Liy.—Sayers and Heenan appeared at the Ro- tanda Gardens, Dublin, on the hult. In the evening it was with considerable trouble the “champions”’ could disengage themselves from the motley crowd by whom they were surrounded. The Benicia Boy and Tom Say- ers promenaded as fur as they would be per- mitted among the n j twisted to try and ¢ After some time, persons began amusing them- selves by blocking the hats of their fellow spectators. The standard of rebellion agains: pugilis uthority was raised, and in a very short time indeed the platform was broken to pieces, and the carpet with which it was cov- ered torn intoshreds. This system of agita- tion had the effect of bringing in vast rein- forcements from outside, and the railings were sealed by hundreds from every quarter. The two pugilists presented themselves amtdlet « storm of noise and confusion. Sayers tried tu make himself heard, and was understood to say that if a space was cleared, the stience of himself and bis friend would be displayed. The appeal was in vain. and the Benicia Boy having tried his persuasive powers with as little success as his companion, both immedi- ately threw down the gloves, and then ensued scene of tumult and disorder perhaps never equalled in Dublin, hats were Piockea. cost tails were torn off, and Johnson's refreshment marquee was colispsed in the twinkling of an eye. The wine, whisky, and drink of all kinds which it contained, as well as all the money which had been received in it during the day, for drink, were made away with by the riot- ers. ‘the police arrived in large numbers, and succeeded. after much trouble, in clear- ing the gardens and restoring order. The ‘heroes’ returned to their hotel, and all was quiet before eleven o'clock. At the time of the row inthe gardens not less than 10.000 persons were present. Heenan and Sayers left next morning for Belfast. The visit of Sayers and Heenan to Belfast was “a great success,”’ each exhibition having been atterd- ed by about 2,000 persons, and double that number were unable to obtain admission. The Northern Whig says the ‘“‘champions’’ started off by the Leopard, for Glasgow, amid the cheers of the greatest monster meeting that has been seen on the quays of Belfast since the Queen’s visit eleven years ago. Sorrp O1. ty THE Suape or CoaL.—We have been favored with a small specimen of coal from the neighborhood of Cairo station, Ritchie county Va , on the Northwestern Virginia rail- road, which is of a peculiar ag ~ It has been tested by various chemists, and has been found to be as it were crystalized mineral oil— being without stratification, and free from any foreign substance. The tests have shown that it will yield one bundred and sixty-five gallons of pure oil to the ton. By taking a portion of the eoal and laying it on a hot stove or shovel, its extraordinary quality is obvious. It melts and runslike wax.—Piitshurg Post, 11th. We fear our Pennsylvania and Virg.n' friends are getting too much excited, in nat: ral oil beds, as we Downeasters once were re- specting trees. And this story of solid oil reminds us of an occurrence in our State during the days of the land fever. After most of the lands had been sold over several times, other projects were started, and them that of finding coal along the rimitive formation of our ses coast in Maine. The existence of red sandstone upon the river St. Croix led some to believe that coal might be found beneath it, and hence a company was formed * Down East,” and the work of boring for « oal commenced. stock was taken up by the bulls of that day to five dollars per share; when, one Monday, in drawing up the boring apparatus, pieces of black scale were found similar in character to those which overly the coal formation in Pennsylvania.
