The recent: state of things has been such as one cannot bear to mention to his most intimate friend. Inasmuch as opium is an article injurious to men, therefore, our Government legislated tbat it would not receive a revenue derived from it.

Inasmuch as I reflect that your honorable nation for- merly bought Africans and made slaves of them, so that i period the aggregate has amounted to se- , henceforth may the men of worth of your honorable country, in imitation of high Hes cherish for them a feeling of commisseration, and diffuse intelli- gence among the men of worth of every nation, that the may exert their strength to prohibit and arrest this evil, and not allow the people of that country (Africa) to be made slaves. Those who have been bought should be eir options to return to their country, and to their native villages. Then, this being done, it will be seen that your honorable nation delights in a’ righteous heart. very man of worth in your honorable nation, pleasure in righteousness, and is devoted to nd clearly understands the principles of reason, high Heaven, delights in a life of virtue, may disseminate among the men of worth of Kibet ition, that inasmuch as they themselves formerly cherished commisseration for the oppressed, and put an chd to the slave trade, so to eternity let opium be prohibited. Ab- solutely, let them not again be transporting it from dif- ferent countries;then there will be perfect tranquillity to th voth Chinese and foreigners, and the people will rejoice : i ; | in their possession; and the places, in which in bye-gone bin and! wecerage: pusesagerss penous wishing’ to cuback | lays, opium hos been planted, willanswer for the growth of cotton and different kinds of grain, and still may be the profit obtained, so that it is unne cultivate this article,which injures men. This is what I sincerely hope for ft the men of worth of your honor- able nation, und I beseech them not to regard pains, nor be sparing of ink, but earnestly, by the diffusion of cor- rect intelligence among the meu of worth in every nation, urge the ne like that of Heaven, to exclude this article of opium, hich so injures men. is can be done, then May the citizens and people all attend to their own proper duties, and every nation may have harmony and prosperity, and mutually delight in universal peace. ‘Then the men of ‘orth of every nation will have done righteously, and planted the seeds of happiness without end.

A lady arrived here on Sunday morning, and went to Boston along with the express mail on Sunday afternoon; but when she got there, lo, and behold! she could not get a passage, because Sir Charles Metcalf had engaged the ladies’ cabin for his own personal use. Is this right? Is this the just and proper way to treat the travelling public? { think not. This misconduct of the agent and Captain of the Britannia cost this lady and her son-in-law, who accompanied her, about twenty dollars, going to, and returning from Boston. There were other females in the same pre- dicament ; they did not eee ssage for the same reasons. But even thisis not all the trouble, in- convenience, detention, and expense my female d. 1 would not, howe’ attach this blame y. ‘tra price ty-five miles in about twelve hours, they had to hire coaches or wegons, and in consequence of the great quantity of baggage which belonged to Sir Charles, one coach or wagon could not take all the passengers (ola One wagon could hi ravelling bag for each, and had such been the tl r¢ bush in time for the Western road cars on Saturday morning.

The Britannia, Hewett, sailed this morning. ‘The Britannia carried out in her mail 40,000 letters and 67 passengers for Liverpool, one tor Halifax. I observed that two wagon loads of newspapers went from the post office to the steamer. ‘There is some rascal in our city who has been most cunningly at work, for some days past, in endeavoring to set the town in a muss by his single efforts, and to the truth, he hes succeeded to no small extent. Adver- tisements of the dissolution of some of our firat firms bi tors to nts, and like tricks, have also been perpetrated to the no small annoyance of many.

Mr. Booth commenced at the St. Charles, and playea four nights to good houses, then gave evidences of his peculiar eccentricities, and broke off his engagement. A crim. con. case, in our good city, has produced much talk and excitement tor the past few weeks. One Mr. Philosopher, in Camp street, it appears, had been watched at the lake, in consequence of taking late rides at night with a lady, well known in this city, who were seen to enter the ladies’ bath-house and remain there some two hours. As the bathing season was over, and it being a cold night, it gaverise to much talk and wonder, until some of the members of the same church to which the Poilosopher belongs,took him to task The gay deceiver started instanter for P., where he has conmenlons, and it was said, about to be married. The husband of the lady was informed of the bath-nouse ru- mor after some days, and immediately sent her hme to her family, where she formerly flourished as a belle dur ing the watering season.

Trouble m Prospect—Crisis in Politicsa—Meetmg of the Legislature—Theatricals, §., §. The representatives of this State, assembled in the New York Legislature last year, were not gene- rally distingnished for erudition, or for an intimate acquaintance with State politics and State policy. Tt is to be regretted that a flimsy legislation, inade- quate to the wants of the State, and utterly incon- sistent with the polity of our institutions, has pre vailed for a number of years past. It is also to be re- gretted that a tew membersof conceded ability, who | should properly have been leading spirits im the pro- motion of measures for the general good, have prosti- tuted their talente—have been regulated in all their tion by partisan considerations, and have been nguished for nothing but a narrow minded and | selfish course of action, foreign and false to every con- servative principle; and to the purposes of the men wha originally instituted the blessings of true republi- cen legislation. This Empire State is the heart of the great contederacy—she holds in her hands the ba- lance of political power in the nation—she controls the elective scale, and her verdict is final and im- mutable. ‘Whither are we tending?” If submit itto you if this is not an important query; and I have been led to make the above remarks on ac- count of the frequenoy with which] have heard this question proposed.
