The firat of these is Lieut. 8. D. Dobbins, 3d Infantry. He is a citizen appointment, and entered the army in 1833 His first service was inthe Indian country west of Ar- kansas ; then in Florida, where he served three years; then in Louisiana and Texas. He was the frst man who landed in an official capacity at Corpus Christi, on the main land. He was rendered quite notorious there for having killed a great desl of game ; and, among other things, he had a fight with an enormous couger, wi he killed: and after our taking up the position opposite Matamoras, the General kept him going almost con- stantly in ‘the chapparal- He belonged to the advance under Capt.

Hotels—The Harbor and Promenades--The Phil- harmonic Society of Macao—Grave of the Poet Camaens—Temple of the Queen of Heaven, Na- tural Curiosities. There isa hotel here kept by a New Yorker, but pork chops for the principal dish at dinner, for the small sum of three dollars per day, is ra- ther too much for one, who, although not a Jew, has no very particular desire for the commodity, and gentlemanly driver. The sun beat down with | £0 I took rooms ata fine French house—the pro- great power, but there was acool breeze which | prietor did not wish it called an hotel, for then he I sincerely hope that he will indulge the | our city, and if constantly fanned the cheek, and made our situa- tion quite comfortabe. The stage passes through the new city of Roxbury, a growing and flourish- ing place, which includes within its limits many elegant country residences and fine farms. We passed the residence of the cele brated Rev. Theodore Parker, at West Roxbury, about seven miles from Boston. He has a very pleasant loca- tion in a very ta little village, surrounded on every side by highly cultivated and productive farms. His Louse presents a neat and student- like outward appearance, with trees in the front yard, and other tokens of taste and refinement zround the premises. Near by is the village church in which he officiated as a preacher, be- fore his name and fame became so extensively noised abroad ; yet here his splendid talents and somewhat novel doctrines attracted no little atten- tion, and he soon emerged from the comparative obscurity which usually attends a young courtry cer leaving the’ village of West Roxb r leaving the village of West Roxbury, a ride of three miles brought us to Dedham, the shire town of Norfolk county. This is a quietand handsome village, ornamented with large and noble shade trees, which render the walks plea- sant, and impart a cooling and agreeable aspect to the whole place. A short branch from the Pro- vidence railroad, affords the residents of this village frequent and easy communication with Boston, and induces many to take up their resi- dence here whose business is inthe city. Among the number is Mr. John gett, an extensive dealer in carpets, looking glass and picture frames, &c., and father of the gentleman who is familiar to your citizens as the author of Doggett’s Direc- tory of New York. Edmund Quincy, the famous abolitionist, and brother to the present Mayor of Boston, has a delightful situation here, where he spends his time in dreaming about theories which are generally pronounced Utopian. He is a finished scholar,a rank abolitionist, a non-resistant, a come-outer, a disunionist, and, in short, a regu- lar Garrigonian reformer. The next town on the road is Medfield. It isa small but excellent agricultural town, containing extensive meadows, in which the farmers were busy with the scythe and rake as we passed. These meadows yield a good crop of grass, and they also produce an abundance of cranberries, which always command a good price, and are of much more value than the hay. A cranberry meadow is about the most profitable piece of land a farmer can have in this vicinity. The contem- lated line of railroad from Boston to New York, by way of Woonsocket, known here asthe “ pet- tee route,” will pass throughthis town, and will probably be of some advantage to it. We next passed through Medway, a much larger town, in which are several manufacturing villages, where a few men have acquired fortunes within a few years past. These men, it is not difficult to ascertain, are opposed to the new ta- riff. 1t will undoubtedly curtail the profits of their business. The new railroad will also pass through this place. Mrs. Torrey, the widow of Rev. Charles T Torrey, who died recently in the Maryland Peni- tentiary, is supp rting herself and children here, Lam told, by industriously plying the needle. Her father, Rev. Dr. Ide, is a very respectable ortho- dox clergyman of Medway. One 4 the first eotton factories ever built in this country was erected in this town by Mr. J. Blackburn, who came over from England in the game ship with Mr. John Slater, a brother to Samuel Slater, the pioneer in the manufacture of cotton cloth by machinery on this side ef the Atlantic. He (Samuel Slater) erected the first cotton mill at Pawtucket, R. 1., having obtained the means to do so of seme capitalists in Provi- dence, who had faith in the success of the sche:ne Mr. Blackburn is now living in the town of Wal- pole, Mass., having acquired a handsome pro- perty. From Medway we pemer into Bellingham, an agricultural town, and not one of the most thriv- ing. The soil is not of the best description, but it is near this at_ manufacturing village of Woonsocket, which affords a good market for the surplus produce of the farmers. We passed the renowned hotel of Mr. Crooks, two miles from this place, (| within the limits of Massachu- setts,) where . Bl t and his associates, of the ** law and order” army, made a_ forcible en- trance in the night time, and captured and made prisoners of several Dorrites, during the recent war in this State. For this act, committed in vio- lation of the laws of Massachusetts, the a Colonel and two others were indicted by the grand jury of Norfolk county, and a requisition was made upon the Governor of Rhode Island for them. They were arrested, tried and convicted, but their sentence was delayed for some cause, and what has been done with the case 1 know not. After leaving the scene of Col. Blodget’# heroic and valiant exploit, we were soon in sight of Woonsocket. ‘This is the Manchester of Khode Island. It has already beaten Pawtucket. A de scription of tae place, with some observations re- specting it, as well as some interesting matters connected with the manufacturing business, will embody in future letters from this village, which may not be altogether devoid of interest. 1 have made particular enquiries in regard to the anticipated effect of the new tariff; in many in- stances these enquiries have been addressed to the manufacturers themselves, and their views at the present time, may be entitled to some at- tention. The fields of corn which I passed in coming from Boston to this place, a distance of torty miles, look remarkably well. The potato vines, in some places, are dying, in consequence of the rot, as I was told. ere is something singular about this potato rot. Some fields are affected by it badly, while other fields, in the immediate vi- cinity, appear not to have been touched. There are but few apples, this year, on the trees in this part ofthe country. Rye, oats and hay, full an average crop of each, have been gathered into the barns, and the farmer will now have a little resting spell. « Etiquette tn a City.’’ Sim :—I fear your fair corr ndent—‘* The Beauty”—is one of those spoiled beauties whom the American people pet and indulge entirely too much. Politeness, forsooth! When did a lady ever acknowledge by look, word, or sign, any mark of civility or politeness shown to her by a gentle- man t Never. They will permit you to relinquish our seat in a stage coach or an omnibus, (and if Tail, to stand upon the outside steps, as I have often done, but will never do again) to pass their fare, open,the door, help their children in and out, without the slightest smile, or bow, in acknow- ledgement. Nay, they will even (particularly if they are pretty) toss their heads in disdain, and | curl up their beautiful lips at you in the most pro- voking and contemptuons manner, if you are the least tardy in offering these attentions. For my own part, (though I will yield to none in my de- votion to and admiration of the sex) I have done taking the slightest notice of these disdainful beauties when | meet them in an omnibus, or any other public place. When they want to pass their fare, 1 turn my head to one side, and pre- tend not to see them. If they have children with them, I move to the upper end to get rid of help- ing them out. In short, I return scorn for scorn whenever the opportunity offers, which {though at first.it greatly rebelled against my natural good nature and politeness to do so—yet I now begin to feel a sort of malicious pleasure in it. y No, sir, tell your “ uty,” that if “itis po- liteness for a gentleman to give a lady a seat by a lady in @ public vehicle,” or show her any other civility, it is no more than common decency in pe coe beers let him see that she is conscious of is havi Ne 80. .

In this house there is no direct charge made for board, but when a person leaves, the proprietor is pre- sented with the amount of his bill.

One side of Macao fronts a small bay in the form of a horse-shoe, and along here are the finest buildings and the prettiest sidewalks. The quay, extending along the water’s edge, is wide an well paved, and abeut a mile in length, forming a fine parade ground for the garrison troops, There is a large building here, which we went through, appropriated for balls, theatrical exhi- bitions, squalls, &c., by what is called the Philharmonic Society of Macao, composed of gentlemen who each contribute so much a month to carry into effect these objects. On our way to visit the last resting place of the celebrated poet, Camaens, we passed through beautiful grounds, very tastefully laid out in walks and grotios. The cave is formed by the natural meeting of three immense rocks, half hid b whose shadow is the tomb, the attraction of all foreigners visiting Macao. Surrounding it are trees and wild shrubbery so dense as to resemble a forest, and the walks are so arranged that, without a guide, one would quickly lose himself. mae genleinenty owner of the grounds himself acted as our guide, and, before leaving, he insisted on our entering his house and partaking of re- freshments. A day or two ago we vere carried by a palan- guin, to the ‘ Temple of the Queen of Heaven,” a Chinese Josh-house far exceeding in beauty and or any thing of the kind Thee ever seen here or in Canton. On approaching it, it resem- bles a series of platforms rising one above another with the utmost regularity,—the Joshes being at the extremity of the Temple on the highest plat- form. The Temple itself is in its Hatural state, nothing artificial having been added ; it is on the side of a hill, and A yee as if had been cut or formed out of the solid rock, but this would evi- dently have been a work of too great magnitude evenfor the Chinese. While proceeding to this Temple I saw a curiosity equal to any Barnum ever produced, at his most “ enormous expense,” it was a cow having a tail with the hair growing up. Now this may appear very ludicrous, but it was a very ve deea nomenon. Imagine a cow’s tail turned up side down ! A new cotton factory is now in operation at Falmouth, Va., the property of Mr. Green. is the third cotton factory in that place, all of which are in successful op e- ration.
