v : ee Velie wos New York, Sunday, February 2, Opinions of the Press on the Ooderdonk "s of the Clergy—Soctat Con- 8 Case Wanne dition of the Chure vapers are now busy discussing Bishop Onderdonk, but we > find that the religious Auny of th the guilt or ianc e of rprised have been rather papers known as the “or * of the Presbyterian aud Duich Reformed churehes do not touch the case atall. This iscertainlyfrather singular, for the avidity with which the rival sects are accustomed to seize upsn any thing to the disadvantage of each other 1s tolerably well inown, or at all events has been pretty well illustrated on various occasions. The paper in this city which is generally regarded as the organ of Bishop Hughes, however, takes up tha matter and handles it “ithout much ceremony It has a long article on the sabject—in which we think we can discern the traces of amecclesiastical hand—abusing the book, the Court, the Bishop, the witnesses and every body. The book it characte_ rizea as ‘* most disgusting and most disreputable to all the parties involved.” The writer then proceeds to spewk of the case itself:— ‘That the conduct of Bishop Onderdonk—ifthe witnesses tell be trath—was indefensibly culpsbdie. is not to be de nied, Bat whether those witnesses told the truvh or not, they are, both mile and temile, eqnaily deserving ot con- demuation. it the charges were true, by what dastardly hypocracy have they abstained so long from making them puohe and bringing the criminal to seernot? By whet d-spwable by pocracy have they pat aside the substance of the senctm ions character Which they 1 ow put ox and ‘reated thot criminal, with all the outward marks of courtesy and good fveling,as if he bad never done any thing to fortert their respect and reverence? How have they been uble to keep this mass of vileness and insult, — of foul coas iousness lock-4 up within their breasts, whilst they allow:d the highest dginitary of thatchurch, which they pretend to love, to continue to exercise ite most sacred ministrations, whilst, if they state the truth now, they must have known him to be, during all these three, and five, and seven years pust, a wolf in sheep's cloth: ing? Oa the other hand, it would be high trea sou doubt the truth of their statements. They are ladies, forsocth, and the mawkish sentiment lt ty ofthe Jand is more +xtravagant than rny thing that can be found in Don Quixote in its chivalry towards Whateveris called a lady If the nature of the cas: had allewed similar testimouy of guilt to have been presented by witn of the other sex, it would have been scouted —it would have been ridiculed in the public would have been met with execration by all p’, perhaps, the personal and theolegical ene- mies ot the accused Now, without meaning to cast one word of suspicion on (he testimony, we beg leave to re mark that ladies are women, and thot all history, of whic 1 this is but a new lesf testify that they are as deeply involved in the consequences of original sin as men are. That they have no more right to @ blind credulity in f: vor ef'beir testimony than men have, and that, so far as regards the present case, their test'mony at this time con: verts their silence for so long a period into an impute tion which will have its proper influence on the silent jutgment st least. ofthe publicat large In looking at the proceediugs of the court, so called, there is nothing calculated to ciminish the disgust excited by the chargee Such is the manner in which the Freeman's Jour- nal speaks of the case, and certainly the remarks relative to the long silence of the Bishep’s accu- sers are not altogether uncalled for. We had al- luded to that point more than once. And nothing, in our opinion, gives more painful evidence of the strange laxity of morals and manners amongst the so-called strictly religion es, than this faet, that a Bishop of the church was accustomed, in his inter- course with the females of his flock, to take such questionable liberues with their persons, and yet pot a murmur of disapprobation in any quarter, un- til the circumstances were seiggd upon by the agents of a clique to effect the destruction of the Behop. This view of the mater cannot be too frequently or too forcibly presented to the public. Bishop Oaderdonk is not the only clergyman who has offended against the laws of moral and virtous society, by indulging in fami harities with the females whom he met. There must be something wrong in the social condition of the religious community, or such conduct could not be tolerated in a single instinee. And this is, indeed, the sa ality. We have seen at “ cam mectings” ante revivad meetings,” all over the country, how lamentably pure and undefiled reli gion has been disgraced by the indecent and im moral conduct not only of the ‘* disciples” but of all themselves Christian ministers. Jt was supposed in most quarters that all this laxity ot morals and manners was confined to those itinerant hypocrites and impostors, and to the indiscriminate gatherings which they were accustomed to address; but the development; in the case before us, show that the jadgment of charity was in this instance entirely at fault. Mrs. Beare stated that the Bishop kissed her in the presence of her mother, in such « Manner as to leave the impression that it was 0 customary mode of salutation. Such literal and ctical adherence to the precept of Paul to Timo- thy, is by mo means, we have every reason to be lieve, a rave virtue amongst the clergy of all de- nominations, The social condition of the churches tay thus be easily guessed at, and it is this view cof the case that we wish to keep before the public, or we trust yet to see salutary influence exerted in that direction, by the developments of this extra- rdinary tial. Itas asif the light of day had been tin upon the community of “ the saints,” and thatis the first step to a thorough cleansing. Notthe least singular and instructive of the de velopments made by the ‘* Book of the Trial,” is that given to the public in the ‘‘ opinions” of the We do not know which most to con- femn—the canting slang, or the party feeling Some of these holy men of God utter in the same breath the most stinging expressions of personal hatred to the accused, and the most pious prayers to Heaven for the good of the Church! The Bishop) in favor of the accused have certainly less of the slang than the others, but they are al! evidently partial judges. But we are most etruck aud most pained by the elaborate efforts of the fa- thers who condemned the Bishop, not merely to justily their sentence, but to cover him with iufamy and shame, and to close the door against any public eympathy for him. Oh! how ualike the meek and lowly Jesus! How un- like the fishermen of Gallilee! How unlike the early fathers of the church, who joved not their lives unto the death, and whose conduct towards each other was such tha! even the enemies of the fiith were constrained to call out—“*Brhold! how these Coristians love one another 1’ Alas! ales! when the Bishops and fathers of the church act in such a manner, is it any wonder that the lovely fraits of peace and charity have well nigh utterly perished in the charches ? those who Bishops. Carraty Rywpers —We insert in this day’s pa per, avery curious and iateresting sketch of the life of the vned Captain Rynders—the cele brated Doa Giovanni of the modern democracy — In our aext Weekly Herald, probably, we shall be able to give a likeness of this famous Captaia,with a view of his club grouped around the stove of their club room, and deliberating on the annexe- tion of Texas. The Captain, himself, departed very suddealy yesterday morning for Albany.

Hatu.—We have Biven our readersa full and grephie report of the id doings at the recent remarkable Anti- y and Aati-Texas Convention in Faneuil Hall, Boston. Lt appears to have been a congrega- tion of “black spirits and white,” of ali sorts aad sizes, actuated by various impulses and strange ideas, bat all uniting in one universal sentiment of bitter and unrelenting hostility to the Southern in- stitution, and the existing social condition of that portion of the confederacy. There is a great deal of talk and bluster, and bravado and abuse, in the Northere prints, respecting the conduct of the nul lifiers of South Carolina—the chivalry of Quattle- bum—and the disunionists of that part of the coun- try. No doubt under the bright sun of the South, men in Carolina, who are suilering from the ini- quities of unequal taxation, and unequal laws, will occasionally express their feelings with some exug- geration and violence, but these expressions are not by any means to be taken literally. There is no quarter of the Union, ia which a more devoted spirit of loyalty to the republic exists than in the South—nowhere else would the hostile attempts of a foe be more promptly and energetically met This every one must acknowledge Such is the paesing sentiment of disunion or nul lification as developed in the South; but what is it in Faneuil Hal!? There it assumes e much dark- er hue, and a far more dangerous character. We see in the recent convention there the develop- ment of sentiments and principles, in the first birth, which, in process of time, if not checked by the good sense of the Union, will destroy} our whole social fabric. Look at the resolution pro posed by Garrisen—a resolution cquivalent to a dissolution of that fair fabric, which we call the glorious Union! Look at every sentiment and every principle and every purpose developed by those speakers, breathing throughout a degree oi fiercensss and hostility to the social institutions of the South, increased by the very ignorance which they discover regarding the naiure and character of these institutions, which leaves all the mere vaporing about disunion in the South, immeasu- rably behind. But the most dangerous feature of the whole of that Convention, is developed in the declaration made by Mr. C. F. Adams, the son of John Quincy Adams, who is represented as having recommend- ed that the {question of Slavery should be intro- duced into ail future political contests, and particu- larly in the free States, so as to divide them on that issue and destroy the present organization of par- ties. Such a purpose, if carried out, would as cer- tain'y lead to the destruction of the Union as the laws of nature produce their invariable results. For some singular movement of this kind—the deetruc- tion of the present arrangements of parties and their reconstruction on the principles of the Abolition- ists—we have indeed been prepared, as well by the speeches of Mr. Webster and John Q. Adams as by the proceedings and declarations of the present Convention. The Abolition party, numbering at the last election in the freé States over 62,000 voters, will form the nucleus, no donbt, of a new organi- zation of the Whig forces in the North, with this broad principle of action—the destruction of Slave- ry at the South by the legislation of Congress. We will see how this movement will be followed vp both by the Whig party and the Abolitionistsin the tree States—we will see what may be the future course of John Quincy Adamsand Daniel Webster in Congress, for it is very evident that there is some general attempt now in contemplation to form « union between the Abolitionists and the Whigs, for the purpose of regulating the policy of the Union and defeating the Democracy in all future contests Danerr Aurep.—Even the National Intelii gencer of Washington, appears to be alarmed at the present aspect of our foreign relations, now menaced by the progress of the Oregon and Texas questions in both Houses of Con- gress. This alarm is beginning to pervade many other minds, besides those of the editors of the Intelligencer. But we do not apprehend any im- mediate war either with Mexico or England, should both these measures pass the present Congress. Mexico has enongh to do within her own limits, torn ag she is by contending factions, which de- stroy herenergy and power. Inregard to Engiand, we have a bond of indemnity on her good beha- vior in the shape of annnal imports and exports to the amount of nearly sixty millions of dollars A suddén interruption of the commercial relations between the United States and England, or the stoppage of the cotton supplies furnished by us to the British manufactories would most seriously en- danger the domestic peace of that kingdom, ren- dering it still more difficult to manage than Ireland. We thus possess in the cotton trade a power over England that keeps her in peaceful relations whether she will or not. Anxiety For THE AnsenT Packets.—There is a great deal of anxiety now felt for the safety of the packet ships United States and England. They have been at sea over two months, and sailed from England in time to be in the terrible gale of the Ith and 12th of December, which caused so much devastation from one extremity of the Atlantic to the other. In this gale, it will be recollected, the pecket ship Dorchester was totally lost. The United States and England have valuable cargoes on board. ‘They had not, we are glad to learn, many passengers. The England, we believe, had none in hercabins. In the United States, if we mistake not, the Rev. Weir Tulloch, a Scotch clergyman, was a passenger. This person com- mitted forgery at Perth and fled, intending to reach America, by taking passage in the United States. This is the only passenger on board of her to our knowledge. These two packets were very strong ships. They were built here, and commanded by good and ex perienced men. Captain Britton, of the United States, ia.a brother of the commander of the Gla- liator, and also Of the captain of the Rochester, who saved the lives of those on board the Dorches- ter, which, singularly enough, was wrecked in the same gale that cither destroyed or badly disabled he United States. The Engiand was commanded by Capt Bartlett, who has had charge of her since the retirement of Captain Waite, and a better mau never walked a deck. Notwithstanding that appearances are against tem, there is yet a hop», and not a very weak ove, of seeing these packrts again. They may have become dismusted, and in that cuse could vardly be expected to make a very rapid passage from longitude 29, while etrong westerly winde have been blowing Theatricais, d&ec, A Sigaor Martinez 1 giving Cuocerts in Detroit Mrs. Strong, of thie city, was highly successful et the Concert of the Philadelphia Sacred Music Socirty% neeting, on Friday evening, and most enthusiastically ecvived Madame Haromerskold, a lady of great talents ae a vocalist and pisnist, has arrived in Orleans.

Harrington, of Wor- cester, in favorol Murray & Ogden, oa coatract—they having refused or neglected to pay the demand then dur. The contrect was a fir business transaction Sheriff Whittaker having served adeclarotion on Abraham Har rington, leit for the purpose uf ser the remaining one on Jacub H. Harrington, the old man. After arriving at his house, nearly half a mile distant from the honse of son, he discevered himselt followed by the young man Abraham, Mr. Whitteker was there informed that he had gone from home, and would probably be found ut the house of hie son-in-law, residing in Summit, Schoharie county, about two miles distant. Mr. Whittaker thinks it was preconcerted But the demand being nowise con- nected with “ anti-rent,” he did not suppose that he would be resisted in the service ef rapara—and wishing to get a personal eervice, betook himself thither; but had not reached hia place of destination when he was encount ered by a party of men disguised as Iodians, to the num- ber of twenty-five or thirty—who, having stopped his horse, proceeded to search for pa which Mr Whitta ker refused to give up In the mean time, discovering the old mon, Jacob H Harr ngton, in council with the Indians, he attempted to serve bis papers, but was hin- dered by their flocking round him, stopping the service, demanding pspers, &>. Young Harsngton repeatedly presented himself ‘o the sheriff, with the deciaration thet it had been previously served on him, requesting that the sheriff should receive it again ; but on being repulsed threatened a coat of tar and feathers. The ludians seeing that they were effecting nothing, became enraged; anc presenting a pistol at tbe head of Mr Whittaker, threat ened his life should he refuse to sccommedate himeell to their designs—at rhe same time saying that “dead men told no tulea” Mr. Whittaker, determining to do bir duty aa becema tion, was, alter being provoked anc insulted to the lust degree, rode on a rail, his h tarred, d bis boots filled and d:awn on, and finally sent away, ith the action that he must never again appear within “their dominions,” under pain ef death. Exuicorrvitie, January 97, 1845. We are in the midst of an antireat war, On Friday evening last the sheriff despatched three depntics to Daich fill. for the purpose of arresting some of the ring leaders, who attacked the sheriff and his deputies las: Juve, who were thers for the p:rpose of executing a writ of possession. Some eight or ten were in- dicted at the June court for the offence, but no attemp! was made to arrest them until Frday night last — In the mean time, trom certain indic.tions a d threat: thrown out, the sheriff thought best to order out a strony force to protect the jail from attack, sould any of then be captured. The urrang:ment was that they shoul? make a quick trip and return by 6 o'clock on Saturday morning. The whole day passed, however, without their returning, and hearing no tidings from them, fears wer: entertvined that they had been captured themselves. Ani the orders of the sheriff were promptly obeyed by the citizene of adjoining towns, in flocking to his standard, © «mail detachment of six men, under Co). Eli sent out to ascertain the difficulty; but before 1 turned, the deputies first sent out came back prisoner, having captured him after a desperate encoun ter with some 10 of the gang. Col E. however went ‘hrough the settlement a short time afer, and found 1 large collection at the schoo! hous halt, which orders he disobeyed, eight rifles. He returned the fire, and came on his home Whetber any were injured we are unable to Last eveving there were probably 600 people in the lage, 400 or 400 with arms, realy to act under the sheriff at 120’clock Jast night, about 350, uoder th» command of Gen. Huntly, proceeded with the sheriff to the scene o! diaturbance, leaving about 300, with three pieces of can non, to protect fhe jailand land-cfices. The report of © cannon was heard this morning ix, in the direction o: Dutch Hill, probably one the anti-renters have obtained from Cubs. They are strong in numbers on the Hill,an' what the result will be I am unable to say. Iam of opin- ion, however, that the sheriff will march through with outany diffizulty, and that he will find the men among ‘hetmissing when he geta there.

The performances were, as usual, classical and elegant. At the Olympic a pretty full house attended to see the new piece of ‘* The Devil in Paris”—plainly avery old story, by the way—ir which a man why’ had painted a tremendous likeness of a black eye, and was costumed in the received habiliments of the cité, was rapturously applauded by the discrimi- nating andience. The Bowery is playing up its stock of old melo- dramas, to tolerable houses, and the Chatham has gotupthe “Chimes,” of Boz—a sort of Chatham street edition of the “Christmas Carol.” On the whole, our city theatricals, with the exception of Welch’s company of splendid equestrians, are rather small business. Tue Streets Acain !—For the last ten days the streets have been in even a worse condition than when pedestrians were up to their ankles in mud The clouds of dust, palpable and penetrating, hav been most disagreeable to all who were obliged toftraverse the streets. The truth is, no one who values comfort or cleanliness, and can possibly avoid doing so, dares to venture into Broadway, either in wet weather or dry. In wet weather it is all mud, slush and dust—in dry weather, when the wind blows, the dust is so thick that one canno: see across the street. This is one of the reforms of the present reforming corporation.

Oe After all the opposition to Mr. Seymour, oj Oneida, the Speaker of the House, he fills th: place well. No one finds fault with his manner o conducting his business in the House. Ia Com mittee of the Whole House he frequently calls Mr Crain, of Herkimer, to the chair, thereby evidei cing a gentiemanly courtesy towards an unanccess ful competitor for the Speaker’s chair, The mev tal calibre of the members is “multitudinous.” O. the whig side, Mr. Young, of Livingston, seems \ he considered by every body as the strong mat Mr. Lee, of Erie, has much to say om every sub ject presented to the House; but he is not equa in any way to Mr. Young. Mr, Bloss, from Mon- roe, 1s the Crockett of the Assembly. He speak often, and with evident effect upon the risibles « the members. He contends that all movements ¢ the opposition cannot “affect our rights a hooter.’ Bloss is a great man, after a fashion. Itis said b can preach an orthodox sermon quite as creditab!: es he can make a political or statesmanlike speech Versatility is said to be characteristic of Blor: He ought to go to Congress. This place is alt getter too circumscribed for his soaring intellec' if you look at the legislative reports, Bloss will b shewn up as a genius and a man of parts. Of the democrats, Mr. T. R. Lee, of Westche: ter, may be considered, in the words of the flov dealers, from “‘tair to middling.” “Mr. Lee, it wi. be remembered, was President of the Board of A sistant Aldermen some two or three years ago. H 1s considered here as somewhat favorable to th. extreme droit of the party, or the “ barn-burning interest. Occasionally he has “a sly dab” at ti Speaker, but the Speaker is as mucn in half 0 hour, as Mr. Lee. In a well-contested and lon. winded discussion, it would be difficult to sx) which of the two possessed the best bottom. On of the ‘“natives”—Oakley, who heretofore hi acted with the democratic party, seems to posse: tolerably correct notions on some points, and if h could get over his prejudice against ‘ the co: founded foreigners”’—his chance of ivfluenc would be thereby much increased.

It seems that, in thes hard times, two thousand dollars, clerk hire anc other little arrangements, amount to over-muc! pay for gentlemen, who, in the most favorab!: view of the case, are incumbents, almost, of sint- cure offices. Such seems to be the opinion ¢ Senator Porter, who is thought to be the leader ¢ the extreme droit, or the Barn-burners, in th: Senate. It is doubtful whether any thing will com: from this discussion, having a tendency to benefi the people. In order to defeat any substautin good that might, by any possibility, be derive: from the consideration of the subject in goo faith, Senators introduced all sorts of propositions amendments and substitutes. One proposed to re duce the salary of the Comptroller and Secretar: ot State. Another introduced a proposition to rr duce all salaries according to a fixed proportion.— They caunot touch the salary of the Governor -- One thing should be done.

Bennerr, Esq :— 4 After a terribly rough voyage, we arrived safe- ly at Naples. Head winds and head aches almost constantly, rough short seas, but by no means short. ness of sea stores—noise, confusien and oaths in- stead of appetites, Not a bottle of champagne was touched for the first fortnight. We arrived at Gibraltar in time to hear the bombardment o! Tangier by the Prince de Joinville’s squadron. At Marseilles I saw nothing to admire more than the fine French beds we found there. There are no beds like French beds, no dinner like a good Eng- lish dinner, no chair to compare with an American rocking chair, and as for a blazing coal fire, what can surpass it. From Marseilles { travelled heré by steamboat along the Mediterranean, touching at Leghorn, Genoa, Civita Vecchia. Naples is densely populated, even to inconvenience. Th: Via Toledo, at Naples, presents one continued throng of persons and carriages from morning ti! aight, equal to what is seen in Broadway on the Fourth of July; and, go into whatever street you will it is almost alike in this respect. It is no easy maiter to refrain from getting in a passion anc swearipg atevery one that runs against you, or you run against—from grumbling at every thing you get and cannot get, and wishing to Gad yor had never come. Getting out of bed in th: morning, and putting your feet oa the stone floors, reminds me of the New York carpets: ind the dinvers we get at the restavrauts are com- posed principally of maccaroni, soup, vegetables, and sour wine. There are no oysters here, anc for that reason I wish for them the more ; but, instead of them, fowls, like so many thread: wasted together; meat, like a blue-bag after hare -ervice, and bread as close as a miser’s pocket — And yet living is dearer here, than in New York, which perhaps can hardly excite surprise when the vest population is considered. Apartments, too, art extremely high. The climate here and at Palermc (of which I shall afterwards speak,) is much abou: che same in variablenees as that ot New York, ye! tess cold, but damper, as it rains every other day during the three winter months incessantly. nave had an eternal head-ache from the first mo ment of my landing, with the din and noise which beset my ears Every one strivesto make mor noise than any other body; there ix no euch thing 4s apeaking in the ordinary way ; instead of that, veople prefer roaring out at the top of their voice: whether in their houses, the street, or theatre. About three weeks ago [ returned from a visit tc Palermo, which is about seventeen hours sail fron Naples. The same winter weather, the same bad coakirg, noise, extortionate priees for apartments, aud general discomfort is found there as at Naples When at Palermo, a suit of three reoms ina Pa tazzo, furnished servants, room, kitchen, with eilve kitchen and table services, cost sixty dollars + month—the price of a whole house in New York. A good part of my time at Palermo, as here, wat oceupied ingrumbling at everything, and particu larly at wot being able to get what I wished of En. alish and American luxuries ; and often I have saic I would fain be back in New York, for in these parts td have nothing fit tor christians. A piece of roast beef would be as great a miracle as rais- ing one from the dead The nobility there ail ride on donkeys—a fact, 1] assure you—and liv principally in large Palazzos, and eat mac carom, salads, figs, and rice. Of this clas: there is no scarcity here. Countesses, Dutch- esses, Marchionesses, Baronesses, S&c., are at thick as hail. When at Palermo I started a tandem, which was truly a novelty, the people there ha’ ng not the slightest notion of English driving—and a terror to all sober pedestrians in the via Toledo, the grand thoroughfare. The Secretary of Police wrote me a polite letter the other day. saying he wished to have a discourse with me or a driving affair—but the whole business turned ou! a very elow affair indeed, and although the Police have power, foreigners who have seen the world are always an over match for them. I paid a visit t« the Duke of Como, a fine young fellow, who wes locked up at the Prefev’sfor fighting a due!lo—for- hidden things here—which they said was his fifth [ took him the pistol you gave me, and he frigh' ened the Prefet and police out of their wits by dis- charging succeesively all five barrels. It was re- garded as a regular infernal machine, and had Tnot been a foreigner I would not have gotit back; best it was a great favor to be permitted to keepit Thad also great satisfaction in meeting with ou: friends Madame and Mr. Sutton, with whom [ had tae pleasure of several interviews I learnt fron them, that upon their arrival at Naples, Madany Sutton, on account of indisposition and fatigue o/ travelling, resolved to defer any engagement unt! aoring, and so declined the overtures of Signe: Flanto, manager of the San Carlo Theatre, whe therefore completed his engagements. Shortly at ter, the directors of the “Teatro Reale Carolini,” at Palermo, seeing in the papers the annoancemen of their arrival in the Naples papers, came anc forced her to acceptan engagement at that estab. lishment. It is the Royal Theatre, and has an er. dowment of 20,000 dollars «very season, besides al the subseripers who can be procured.

The following are extracts of a letter from J. R. Pcters, Jr., attache to the late embassy, and agent of the National and America: Lustitutes, Septem- ber, 1844:— 1 wag assisted by Mr. Cushing’s influence as min- ister, and Dr. Parker’s knowledge ot the languege and personal influence, as much es I could be. The education of the Chinese renders them very cautious and suspicious, and, having been taken in by foreigners at various tines, they have reason to be and are particularly suspicious of them, and appear unable to appreciate the motives of persons visiting the country for avy other purposes than those of trade. ‘The mandarins are the enly acces- sible persons who cau make or allow changes and improvements; and depending entirely upon the will of the Emperor, who promotes and degrades them/at pleasure, and having little feeling in com- mon with the prople whom they govern, as they are never appointed to office in their native pro- viness, thes enrich themselves as fapidly as possi- ble, regardless of every thing but their popularity with the Emperor, who appears to be quite easily and often imposed upon. Notwithstanding the bursting of their miserable cannon during their difficulies with the English, and the knowledge th: y obtained of the superiority of European arms and military skill, and the effi- ciency of steam frigates, they still appear disposed to foliow their old policy of buying off, in ease of dif- fieulty, and humbuggiog the people by bombastic wlacards and edicts, and a great show of ily ar ranged fortifications, fi led with guns, more miserae ble, Lam tolt, (because made by econtreet with a mandarin,) than those destroyed by the English 5 and to which, on account of their frequently buret- ing, the men had to be chained before they would fight ‘hem. The leading men among the people at Canton complain because the mandarins will not do avy- hing themselves in the way of improvements, or let anybody else; and in conversation with one off the Horg merchants, who takes considerable inte+ restin improvements in machinery, aud particular ly in the different applications of steam, upon asks tog him why he dido’t get asteamboatand ranit on the coast of Canton River, he answered very ex- pressively in the Canton English— my. likee too much, but no can: that China law have tie hand, have te foot; how can walkee?” and this I am in- clined to think: is too true for our. interest — Ignorance of the language is a great impediment to acquiring information; but those who have a knowledge of it find it extremely difficult to get that which is correct respecting Chinese arts, owing to the ignorance of their artisans of the nature of the materiale-they use and where they are produced, their suspicious dispositions, and the Chinese pot of excluding foreigners from the interior o! their cities and country. The machinery used by the Chinese is not only curious but instructive on account of its simplici- ty; and shows that by patient lubor the fines fa- brics can be made with rude machines. Their tools are evidently original, of simple construction and few in number. The carpenter’s plane is ge- nerally about 14 inch wide by 1 thick, and from 6 +o 10 inches long; the iron, about an inch wide, tg confined by a small iron wedge which is driven in between the iron and a piece of stout wire which crosses the eye of the plane. A stron, vooden peg passes through the scock just behini the iron and projects on each side far enough for convenience in holding it firmly; and in planing it is pushed along the surface of the wood with both hands. The planing bench is similar to a cooper’s horse without the head, and the workman sits astride of the wood while planing it. The hund saw as like our buck saw in form, and although it looks clumsy with the bamboo trame, it is light, and the workmen use it with one hand with facility. The corpenter saws his own boards from the log, witha wide, thin, fine-toothed saw, worked like a pit saw, by one or two men, without a line being drawn on the under side of the log. The black- sinith’s apparatus is more simple even than the carpenter’s, and there are many itinerant ones who carry their forges, tools, fuel, and materials in baskets slung ontheir backs, and trudge about the streets seeking employment. Their bellows are generally made of a piece of the trunk of a tree, about 2 or 24 feet long by 7 or 8 inches diameter, made hollow and cylindrical, and closed at both ends; in this a paper piston is worked forwards and backwards, by a sinall wire rod, (sometimes two) which passes through one end, with a cross handle outside. The cylinder having valves open- ing in and out at eachend, the piston draws in the ait at one end; at the same time it forces it out at the other. [have not seen any arranged to make the blast continuous as represented in Davis’ and other works on China. Their anvil has a round faes, but they appear to work as handily as our smiths do upon a nearly flat eurface.. They use clay in weldix; The work ia brass and other compocition metals are skilfal, but their general mode of fiuiehing these by seraping (the same way the smiths finish their iron work) gives ita coarse ap: pearance. They understand polishing and finiching with the file, but seldom do it, I suppose from mo- tives of economy. have seen the operation of welding evst iron (as itis called) several times ; itis nothing more than mekipg a crack im a cast iron vessel wide »nough, by breaking out pieces, to admit of melted cast Iron beiug put in in drops, and pressed down on each aide like rivits, until the whole length of the crack is stopped ; it isthen rohsed over with wet clay, which stops tp any small holes remaining une til it is ag in put in use, after which there isno dan- ger of its leaking if the clay comes out, as the dirt pital fast enough upon the inside to keep it ight. here js one article extensively used by the Chi- nese which | am surprised the Yankees have not applied before—ihis is Chunam, The seams of all Chinese vessels, large and smuil, are caulked or filled with this article—it becomes as hard es stone ander water in a few days, and isan excellent, du- rable, and cheap material, especially for small vege sels, but if not skilitully made and putin, the work- ing of the timbers of large vessels is suid to throw itout in spots It is made here by thorcughiy mix- ing, with a rammer, the oil of the Jatropha, (a species of Croton) with slaked shell lime, (hey have no limestone in this vicinity,) and adding barahoo scrapings to bind it together. When ex- posed for sale it is about the consistence of glaziers outty, and looks like it. The Jatropha oil is used for the same Leal pag that linseed oil is with vs, and sells at retail for 10 cents a catty, or about 60 cepts a gallon, and at this price would be cheaper to use than linseed oil, which, I suppose, would answer ag good a purpose formaking chunam from the fact of its rendering the fece of the plaster of varis motids, used ‘to cast busts and figures in, of a stony hardness in a short time,and keeps the wet plaster from advering Oakum would probably an- sera belter purpose than bamboo shavings to bind it. Itischeaper and more expeditiously ap- plied, and presents a smoother and more uniform surface to the water than pitch and oskum. The mode of dividing vessels by water-tight bulkheads or partitions, forsecurity against sinking, which is comparatively new with us, is an old plan with the Chinese. All their vessels, down to the “tanker,” or small boat, seniled by women, are fixed in that way, and made tight with chunam.— They also use the centrifugal bellows, the idea of which was probably obtained by the European ine ventor from the fanning mill, which is likewise a Chinese invention. The flowers, fruits and vegetables of ¢ hina, the same kinds 8 those produced in the Northern and iniddle parts of the United Srates, are quite inferior to ourr.
