Paris, had been returned, with an objection to one of its provisions. The pre- cise terms of the proposed convention were not of course known, but it was understood thattheycontemplated treaties with the African native chiefs to prevent the sale and embarkation of slaves; and in the event of failure or deception on the part of such chiefs, or any of them, that their territory be blockaded, and possession taken of their factories.— “In the present rage in France for sei7ing and “‘ pro- tecting” foreign ports, islands, and territory, and for the extension of the steam and other naval force of the country, few schemes could better than this,” ob- serves a writer on the spot, “be hit upon.” The SECU tome of the Jesuits has occupied the , Mr. Haussens, one of the directors of the Grand Jrench Opera of Brussels, has been in London for toe arpoee of making final arrangements about the performances of the French Operas, to take place on a very grand scale in the beginning of June, at Co- vent Garden Theatre, under the patronage of his oe the King of the Belgians.

A few years since Mr. Cooke. seni., lost his valuable horses, theatrical properties, & by. fire, in this country, and subsequently experienced a disastrous loss in ireland. In the early part of the present year the circus belonging to Mr. W. Cocke was torn down by a violent gust of wind, just before the pe formance at Hackney, by which Mrs. Isbister and her nephew lost their lives, and many visitors narrowly escaped serious injury.

Cuina opgnep To Curistianiry.—We have re- ceived letters from Macao, containing intelligence which, if it be confirmed, will produce a sensation in Europe, and do great honor to the French mission .in China. It is nothing less than the abolition of the rigorous edict which forbid the Chinese to embrace and practise Christianity. We know that these edicts, after ili Hp revoked under the reign of the Emporer Kan-Hi, were again brought into force about a century ago, on the advice of the Tribunals of Rites ; and, until these latter times at least, have been put into execution by the Chinese magistrates with the utmost rigor. Thus Christianity has found a double obstacle to its introduction into the middle of the empire; for on one hand were the laws which interdicted foreigners from penetrating into the inte- rior of the empire, and on the other hand the Chi- nese, who, if left to themselves, would be inclined to embrace the religion of the Gospel, are restrained by the pains and penalties denounced by the edicts.It is these edicts which itis now in contemplation to abolish. To obtain thisabolition the French mission, as may be believed, could not make meres: Propo sition to the Chinese commissioners. twas only by influential means that it ought or could act. Thus the first overtures came from the Chinesgsnegociators themselves, from Ki Ying, the representative of the Emperor, and from the treasurer, Hu Ad. Ki Ying has a liberaland philosophical mind. Far from hav- ing any prejudice or antipathy against Christianity, he repeats, both in personal conference and in his written correspondence, that a religion which for- bids evil and commands good cannot be a false one. He adds, that as this religion is professed by the great Emperor of the French, and by the noble na- tion of which he is sovereign, the ‘abolition of the laws which forbid its exercise in China would be the best means of confirming a friendly alliance be- tween the two countries. In a word, he offered his mediation with the Emperor and the Tribunal of Rites to obtain a revocation of the anti-Christian edicts. Tous alone will belong the honor of having represented Christianity and civilisation in China, by causing edicts of intolerance and persecution to be abolished? Though others may have converted China "to commerce; we shall have opened her to Christianity and tolerance!—Journal des Debats. Markets.

Koch has brought to light the fossil remains of a monster in the animal creation that puts in the shade the celebrated “ [quanodon” of England, of col- lossal size, and the still more gigantic Missourium. ‘This last discovery may be set down to the State of Alabama, and to a county adjoining Mobile, namely, Washington, being found imbedded ina yellow lime-rock formation, near the old Washington Court House. The description of this munster is in substance as follows :—I have suc- ceeded in bringing to light the very arly complete skeleton of a most colossal and terrible reptile, that may be justly termed the king of the kings of reptiles. Its length is one hundred and four fect—the solid portions of the vertebra are from 14 to 18 inches in os fe and from 8 to 12 inches in diameter, each averaging 75 pounds in weight. Its greatly elongated jaws are armed with not less then forty incisor or cutting teeth, four canine teeth or fangs, and eight molars or grinders. ‘These teeth all fit into cach other when the jaws are closed, and it is clear that the animal was of the carniverous ne- ture. The eyes were evidently large, and were promi- nently situated on the forehead, giving the animal the power of keeping a constant and vigorous watch for its prey. The body had members attached resembling ped dles or fins, which in proportion to the size of the animal were small, and were doubtless intended to propel the body of this enormous creature through the waters of those large rivers and seas which it inhabited or fre- quented. "Each of these paddles or fins is composed of 21 bones, which f in union, seven frecly articulating joints, re of avery peculiar shape, and ex- ceedinglg ni us. ‘They are three times the thick- ness at the lower that they are at the superior extremity. —Mobile Advertiser. Human Sxeverons Founp.—Last week, on the premises ot Mrs. Heman Smith, in Stow, while ex cavating the earth for a cellar, upon the sot, from which an ancient barn had been recently removed for the erec: tion of a new building, the remains of three adult human skeletons, one female and two males, were discovered by the workmen and exhumed for inspection.

The commercial, literary, theatrical and geneaal news, will be found under their respective heads. To the opinions of the English press on the present relations of the two countries, to which we have given considerable space, we need hardly direct the particular attention of our readers. The feeling of the British public with regard to the United States and the probabilities of 2 collision between the two countries, present at this mo- ment a subject of study at once interesting and amusing. A sort of panie appears to have been produced by the intelligence conveyed from this country to England by the Great Western. Stocks were reeling about—cotton was rising and falling— every thing was in confusion—and the journalists seein to have been quite thunderstruck on finding that the abominable Yankees toek the blustering de- clarations of Sir Robert, and the violent declama- tion of the newspaper editors, in @ manner so con- foundedly cool. Some of them affect to praise us for our moderation and calmness—some abuse us like pickpockets, and call us ‘‘swindlers” and « robbers,” because we didn’t go into convulsions of terror or rage—but all are evidently astonished that we are so calm and cool—so provokingly cool. These journalists forget, or do not know,the relative condition of the two countries. We can afford to hear all these rumors of war with smiling compo- sure. This country is but in the spring of its man- hood and vigor. The present is full of encourage- ment—the future) is full of hope. And what a fu- ture! Wecan look forward to century after centu- ty of national life, and more than imperial power. Not so with England. She has passed the climac- teric of her existence, and is now in that perilous epoch, described with such graphic power by one of her own poets :— First seedling hid in grass Then twig ; then sapling 5 and as century roll’d, Slow after century, agi it bulk Of girth enormous, with moss covered trunk, Rnd roots upheaved above the soil, and sides Embossed with prominent wens globose ; till At the last, the rottenness time inflicts On other mighty things, found also thee! Waris a word now full of terrible monition to Eng- land. Nota tap of the drum has been heard, and yet we see the old lady has gone off in hysterics al- ready. With what evident delight the London Times assures its readers. that the intelligence from the United States is “decidedlv pacific!” How it has moderated its tone with respect to the claims of Great Britain to Oregon! Not long since it talked loudly and wildly about British claims of sovereignty —now it mumbles something about ‘joint occupa- tion,” and seems to hint at a settlement of the controversy by John Bull and Brother Jona- than tossing up coppers for the whole territory, like two ragged loafers by the side of our own beautiful Fountain in the Park, on a fine June morning.— Peace—the world’s peace—peace withAmerica above all—is now an essential condition of the national pros- perity of Great Britain. Hence the fidgetty uneasi- ness excited by any threatened interruption of the pacific relations of the two countries. John Bull appears to be in pretty much the same position as a nervous passenger in one of those panderous dili- gences that traverse the steep passes of the Alle- ghany mountains. On one side an awful precipice —on the other hanging piles of gloomy rocks that seem about to crush the luckless traveller—before him the rough, broken, downward road, on which the cumbrous vehicle thunders along at the rate of ten miles an hour—the horses helter-skelter—the driver ready to tumble from his seat—the reins every way—crash—dash—merciful Heaven!—should a linch-pin give way! This view of the present ‘state of feeling in Eng- land, as shydowed forth in the leading journals, na- turally leads us to the consideration of a very re- markable feature in this intelltgence from the other side of the Atlantic—the feature of most im- mediate and practical interest. And that is the evi- dence which is afforded, confirmatory of the opinion expressed by us on more than one occasion, that all the fuss and blustering about Oregon in the British Parliament, was a concerted and cunning move- ment for the purpose of diverting the attention of the government and people of this country from the an- nexation of Texas. There is now no room left for doubt on this subject. The recent intelligence from Mexico, revealing the successful progress, almost to a termination, of the intrigues of the British agent» Mr. Elliott, has opened the eyes of every body, but the “organ” at Washington. The government of Great Britain has never for a moment lost sight of the Texas question. And why this vigilance—why this strong and unceasing effort to prevent annexation ? The answer is easy. The annexation of Texas would be but the first step in the mighty movement for the subjugation of this whole continent to repub- lican government. Texas annexed, Oregon, Cali- fornia, Canada, follow—all in due process of time. England desires to establish a barrier to this move- ment. She seeks to make Texas that barrier. Hence her laborious, secret, unceasing, anxious efforts to defeat annexation. Hence the crafty at- tempt, by seizing upon a hasty expression in Mr. Polk’s inaugural address, to change the issne be- tween the two countries, the annexation of Texas being a subject on which the minister could not say any thing in Parliament without violating the prin- ciples of the recognized law of nations, and with which he had no right or pretext in that place to meddle. Thus, again, the humiliating conviction is impres- sed with added force upon us that our government has been duped, sadly duped in this whole business of Texas annexation—duped by the British govern- ment—duped by its own agents—duped all around. There was a time when the golden opportunity of annexing Texas presented itself with such pressing invitation that nothing but the maddest and blindest partisanship could have refused to improve it. That time was when the Tyler treaty was presented to the Senate of the United States. Then the measure—a measure of the utmost interest to the honor and welfare of free government and the advancement of human rights and human liberty all over the world—could have been effected at once and for ever, without any opposition from England and France, without any difficulty what ever. But the folly, violence, and factious spirit of a portion of the democracy—the folly of Benton— the folly of Van Buren—the folly of Clay—zhe folly of all the old stagers jealous of Mr. Tyler—led to the rejection of that treaty. The golden opportunity was lost. That was the first great error. If the ‘irmness, honesty, and patriotic devotion to the spread and growth of Republicanism on this Conti- rent, of the American population in Texas, fail in che struggle that is now approaching between them m the one hand, and foreign and domestic intrigue on the other, shee error may be irretrievable.

IT Exgction oF Scroor, CommissiongRs, aND THE Srmce.—The election for a School Commissioner in each ward, and also for a Trustee and Inspector, takes place this day. Considerable excitement pre- vails amongst the fanatical portion of the commu- nity on the subject; and every effort has been made within the last few days, to induce the voters to re- cord their votes, so as to enable the bigots and the fanatics at every side, to carry out their worst pre- judices. The rehgious element, that has given a distinctive trait to the now defunet “ native” party, is narrowed down to a simple issue, in this contest, as to whether or not the Bible shall be introduced in the public schools. It, therefore, is a question be- tween the fanatical and the ultras of‘party, and the calm, thinking, liberal and high-minded, who look upon those bitter prejudices, that have latterly been infused into the debates before the Board of Educa- tion, as derogatory to the character of true religion, and to the common principles of Christianity. The excitement upon the subjeet, has risen already to the utmost pitch, and the result is looked to with the deepest interest. .We have, invariably, condemned every effort on the part of the fanatical and the pre- judiced of every class of the religicus sects, to infuse their bitter animosities into these elections, where the simple question of education of the poorer classesis made the subject for the people to decide upon. Re- ligious toleration 18 the proud boast of our Constitu- tion, and the election of the Commissioners, Trus- tees, and Inspectors, this day, will decide a question which has so long distracted the community—a ques- tion which has been the cause of bloodshed inmany parts of Europe,and has latterly convulsed the entire country. The Courts will be adjourned in accordance with the provisions of the law, so that the entire commu- nity will have time to calmly and deliberately de- cide upon this question, the result of which islook- ed to with the deepest interest. We shall carefully watch the result of the election in the different wards this day. i ARRIVAL OF AN AmBassaDor.—Among the pas- sengers in the Great Western, are Marquis de la Talarue and Secretary. The Marquis is a fine looking old gentleman, and has taken rooms at the Astor. This gentleman is ona visit to this continent in an official capacity, either as minister to this coun- try, Mexico, or Texas, or to the three at the same time. It is supposed that he comes from France to watch the movements in Texas, Mexico, and the United States, relative to annexation. What the result of his mission will be none can now tell. It is time, however, for France to see what she is doing, in regard to Texas and this country. It is rather a dangerous step for her to take, to act in conjunction with England in any movement against the United States. The British government would gain a powerful point by turning the friend- ship that has for so long a time existed between America and France into hatred. She is exerting herself to do that. Rev. Dr. Tyna’s Sermon.—St. George’s church was thronged yesterday forenoon, where the Rev. Dr. Tyng presided—his first discourse since his acceptance of the call of that con- gregation. His text was taken from the second chapter of the second Book of Kings, 15th verse:— “And when the sons of the prophets, which were to view at Jericho, saw him, they said, the spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha; and they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.” The first portion of his remarks were in ex- planation of the office of the christian ministry, in which holy calling he had been engaged’a quarter of acentury, he said. Next followed some strictures on the troubles and dissensions in the church,which arose out of the encroachment of an organized pow- er who sought to oppress the dissentient portion, and teach unscriptural doctrine. Against this power he was resolved, by the help of God, to defend his liber- ty of action, andconduct his system of instruction without control. Next followed a definition of the differences existing between the twosections. The church, he held to be composed of the whole com- pany of the elect, united in communion, fellowship and faith. As to matters of worship, he claimed the rightto preach extemporaneous, or written sermons, at pleasure ; to cherish Sunday schools, hold prayer meetings, and judge freely as to what should be use- fal. The conclusion consisted of an eulogy on his late flock—a description of their ardent love for him —their mutual grief at parting—the sacrifice he had made from a sense of duty, and the candid ad- mission that his new congregation could not provide more handsomely for him and his than did those from whom he was now severed. The closest atten- tion was paid during the whole sermon. Puseyism.—The Rev. Dr. Seabury yesterday preached a sermon at his church, corner of Thomp- son and Prince streets, on the subject of the proprie- ty of praying for the souls of the dead. The congre- gation was not very numerous, and ‘ve noticed alarge proportion of theological students amongit. This ser- mon was one in answer to one delivered by Dr. Wain- wright last week, in which he disclaimed any lean- ing towards this doctrine. We have notes of ‘it, but in consequeuce of the crowded state of our columns, cannot give them ’till to-morrow. Surerinrenvenr or Porice.—Mr. Kiersted, for- merly a democrat,and kept in office by the “natives” last year, has been added to the list of applicants for the office of Superintendent of Police. Two days ago the Mayor resolved to nominate him. He will, probably, be as obnoxious to the democracy of the city as Justice Taylor was. The democrats are call- ing out for Justice Matsell, who has had experience in the police department, and is practically acquaint- ed with the duties of the office. We will see, how- ever, what will be done to-night. Conremeriste Trick.—One of the penny papers is in the habit of issuing “ extras” on the arrival of the steam ship, containing merely a few paragraphs, generally inaccurate, and thrown together at ran- dom. The poor concern to which we allude, got out one of these miserable catch-pennies yesterday, afew minutes before our ‘ extra” was published. The catchpenny gave a few erroneous and incohe- rent statements, purporting to be extracts from Eng- lish papers. We gave three and a half columns of carefully selected matter with reports of all the mar- kets. The public, however, have learned to discri- minate, and refuse to buy the abortions of the penny paper. So now the newsboys repudiate them, and there 1s thus, happily, little danger of any one being misled by these fabulous “extras.” Exrraorpinary Dispatcn ix tue New Yorn Posr Orrice.—The letters by the steamer Great Western were yesterday assorted and ready for de- livery in twenty-one minutes after the bags were re- ceived at the Post office. This was in consequence of an order iseued the night before by the Postmas- ter, directing all the clerks to be at their posts on Sunday, in expectation of the arrival of the Western. Speen ro Boston. The passengers by the steam- er Cleopatra, via Norwich, arrived at Boston on Fri- day morning, at 5 o’clock 45 minutes, making 12 hours and 45 minutes from New York to Boston. Mr. Maywoop.—This talented veteran of the stage leaves for Canada on Wednesday next, where he will introduce a new piece of entertainment in two parts, illustrative of Scottish character in a series of stories, anecdotes, and recitations, having for their tendency to show the great dramatic power of the wople of that country, and the great value of their sharacter to the stage. It may be truly said of it that t gives the lights and shadows of Scottish lite with the greatest effect. The second part consists princi- rally of anecdotes of celebrated performers, up to the time of Garrick and Mire. Jordan: also with many original anecdotes of Bras wind other Seottish poets. The whole concludes with the recitation of Burns’, ‘Tam O'Shanter,” The whole abounds with wit and humor, and cannot but be both highly amus- ing and instructive, Na a Cem
