The play was enthusiastically received. the Coutinued applause sustaining little abatement from the somewhat lergthened delays and occasional | ecepic drags, more or less incident to the first re- presentation of an elaborately wrought drama ot adventure, and the curtain dropping at a late hour wpon a noisy scene of apolaudiug enthusiasm. “*Sextua the Fifth” wi!l doubtless prove a drawing and popularly attractive piece.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. Feeling a deep interest in the island of Cuba, J have closely watched every indication tending to cast any Jight on the question of its future destiny ; aud nothing that has came before the public has more seriously engaged my attention than the arti- cles which have lately appeared in your extensive- circulated and very influenual journal. From the epecial epportunities for information, and the general sagacity of ndgment possessed by the editor of the Heral have been anxious to learn its views and opinions, and especially to know whether the Herald really expected any political guaranties to be included in the changes you have announced, in the policy of Spain respecting Cuba, and by this } meen institutions affording to the peo- ple of the island some power which may act as a check upon their government, or whether your pa- per intended to maintain that simple administration reforms were sufficient and possible wahout any such guaranties. Inyour paper ofthe 2#h there appears an interesting letter from a Havana corres- pondent, which, though some of its passages are calculated to leave the mind in doubt, on the hole, by its allusions to representation and taxa- tion, end to an anticipated variation in the course of the Chronica, would seem to indicate that some kind or degree of political guaraniiea may be anti- cipated Indeed, on the one hand, the very mild course of the present Captain General, Concha, in whoee praise your columns have been liberal, and I trust also, just, tend to confirm such hopes ; but, on the other hané, the latest indications from Madrid itself, in the debates of the Cortes, and the leading articles of the official journals, are certain- ly, not very encouraging As late as the 28th of apuary, in the Spanish C ortes, the motion of the deputy ‘‘Madoz,” to subject the budget and ac- count of the public expenditures in Cuba, to an ex- aminstion, was rejected by a vote of 14710 13; and the ministerial vews on the subject unequivocally expounded in the speeches of the President of the Cabinet, Bravo Murillo, and in the columns of the Madrid Heraldo seem to showat once and decidedly, that not even the first elements of political reform are to be expected. I subjoin a translation of the editorial of that journal, (the official organ of the government) of the 3lst ult, which I trust, from our liberality and impartiality, you will publish, as aving an importent bearing on the interesting question of the condition and prospects of Cuba. February 25, 1851. Respectfully. (From the Madrid Herald, Jan. 31} ‘There isone point in which all parties have agreed in Spain, and that is, that the colonial should be governed by speciallaws It lished in the constitution of 1837, so in that of 1845, and it it was mot so in that of 1812, the authors of the rame must have found many occasions for remorse. It is unnecessary to examine the causes which have made this a general cpinion d fixed it was as am axiom; every one knows them, every one respects them, and it is only a class of philanthropists—poor reformers, ignorant of the art of government—wht venture to oppose them. It is not long si rumored that the British government was carrying the representative system to her colonies, inst that idea, which we may call revolutionary ), the deeply thinking men were aroused sideration of the influence which it might ha' on possessions beyond the belonging to other cou: tries. Well, then, if this is not exp t juch & thought would be treasonable, not interest of the Peninsula, but to that of ies th comes it to be desired that, in what appertain financial administration, ‘the fun- of the metropoli: ‘We have said that it ia only visionary peo, awny by a mistaken ipinay bel philanthropy and liber- ho can demand for the whole human race (with the exclusion of the savage Atricams) liberal institu- tions, destined te give to eachindividual a share or in- fluence in the supreme power. But yet we can ima- ine sensible persons to exist, who, when the subject of a political system is disouss- ed. find @ difference between a people who are near and those who are at an immense di ce from the action of government. What we cannot understand is, that mep, who have themselves asserted in their writings that the provinces beyond the seas should be ruled by especial laws, should pretend to make an exception respecting budgets and accounts—as if this were a matter of no importance—ae if the presenting of budgets and accounts to the Cortes were not the great basisot our political system, as it is of the rystem of si] countries where the people interfere in the government of the 6. Now, them, should that be granted to the colonies which, among us, is called guerantee? If not, then we cannot see t otive for erpecial laws, nor the reason why other guarantees may not be equally refused, which arv not so important. They ehould be excluded from the political rights of the mother country; and, therefore, it would not be Heal) comristent to give them the right of publicity, of the examination of their budgets and accounts, (t! merican public must bear in mind that this exa- mination, so dreaded, is on! sular deputies) which, ax right of countries constitutionally go 't will be alleged that i a very different matter to bave the accounts examined, as a fiscal chack exercised by the Bpanish Cortes on the Executive, or to allow the colonies to exumine them, which is what would consti- tute the political right which, for the Peninsula, has been consecrated in the constitution. But those to speaking are not aware that from ons thing to the ether there is but one step, and that the duty once being’ acknowledged, on the aig of the executive, of prerenting, for the examination and approval of the Cortes, the budgets and accounts of our colonies, there is nothing more natural ond reasonable than tosee the latter demanding to participate in this very examina- pation; for, after ail, it was the discussion of their eire—their own interests—and there would be no undue exigency im wishing to take a part in all the qdestions which arose from those interests.

A Nook in Braztl—Petropolis, the Healthy--New Roud—The Path to Petropolis—Topographica' Description-~New Palace for the Emperor—The People--Pwbire Manners, §c. Into almost every nook and corner of this re- markable planet of oura, some enterprising “ special correspondent” of the newspaper press, seems to find his way, now ‘taking notes” of men and things, for the inquisitive reading public—now jotting down facts statistical, facts commercial, and facts political, for the active men of businees—and now indulging ia more fanciful fight of imagina- tion, for the delectation of those idle gentlemen who ‘hive at home at ease,” and, by the sids of their own comfortable hearths, travel over the wide world, most safely and delightfully, by proxy. How maxy of these useful correspondents you possess | will not undertake to say; and yet | flatter myself that 1am the first who has directed a letter to you from this remote little colony—a little mountain bower, deeply bidden, lke a rose_ bud in a garden, or a jewel in a casket, within the overtowering sierras of Brazil, far away from the great metropolis—a sort of obscure, almost unknown “ hoppy velley of Rassellas ’—barely penetrable to the outward world, ecarcely heeded by the rest of mankind. Placed at aa elevation of nearly four thousand feet above sea level, and surrounded on all sides by mountains, whose giant crests are exalted a thousand feet higher, it nestles within the eternal walls, as if it were a thing apart, and did not be- long to our noisy, bustling little world. The very difficulties attending a journey hitherward have tended to keep it unknown, and of the swarm of adventurous Americans who have stopped at Rio de Janeiro, on their wey to “El Dorado” of the Pacific, 1 doubt it any three of them knew even of he existence of the little mountain retreat of Pe- ropolis. Infact, it has heretofore been accessi- ble to travellers only by a small mule path, over an ancient road, cut by the Jesuits, and the long and toilsome ascent of the ‘old sierra,” over steep and rugged heights, or across deep and dangerous chasms, made a journey hither anything but a joke to persons troubled with nerves. But, happily, these obstacles no longer exist, and ‘ Pe- tropolis, the healthy,” may soon be better known to the world. A good carriage road has recently been opened, after some ten years, and avast sum of money, spent in its construction—a perfectly eafe carriage road of easy ascent—though the way it zigzags around mountains, and plunges over valleys—now terracing a lofty crag, and now, with bold arch, leaping over some torrent or cataract— affords still, to the lover of the “sublime and beautiful,” all the accessories he could desire for his ideal picture. Indeed, as a most daring and skilful work of art, this new road deserves to be named even with that miracle of Napoleon’s ge- niug, the road over the “ Simplon,” or say even some portions of our own stupendous Cumberland road, second to none other. _ This great engineering fait accompli of Brazil was, of course, done by the government, or rather at the joint expenee of the government imperial and the government provincial, private enterprizes of such sort being utterly unknown among this very slow people. But it has been done, and now stands a substantial monument of the liberal spirit which has penetriied even into the imperial coun- cils of the Brazilian; a proof that the most inert re ople may sometimes be stimulated to eflect great things. : x But Petropolis, what is it? Perhaps, to some of your readers, an answer to this question may be acceptable. So, with your permission, | will start from the city of Rio de Janeiro ona voyage thither. I first go on board a smali, but comfortable steam- er, which leaves the wharf, near the the arsenal, punctually at 11 A. M., and proceed at a good rate up the magnificent bay of Rio, winding around the islands that are scattered broadcast, and coasting along the lofty shores, for some twenty miles, | when we suddenly Jeave the wide expanse ot waters, and wedge ourselves within a narrow and exceedingly tortuous stream, which winds with annie current through a low flet of swamps and marshes, overgrown with a rank and unhealthy vegetation. But this leads us, through serpentiae | courees, tc the port of Estrellar, some eight miles further. In the meantime, we have exhausted every epithet in praise of the strange and superb scenery we have passed through; even the low sluggish river. with its swampy bank, has received our admiring wonder; for ‘trees of all foliage, lowers of every hve,” have made the passage rich with recollections, and the clinging parasite’s covering bank, and reow and branches, infinite in color and ppotesaee in form, opened to us an entire new floral world. But we arrive at last at Porto d’Estrella, where we take leave of our steamer, and jump into what the natives call a‘ gondola’’—not the gondola of Ven- tee, nor even @ floating machine of any descrip- tion, but nothing le.s or more than @ simple omni- bus, an omnibus like our own of Broadway the exception that mules, not horses propel, it aloag the hot and dusty road to the little village, or ham- let of Fregoea, some seven or eight miles towards the sierra. e heat of the road, the squalid ap- pearance of the scattered houses, the idle and dirty look of the people, the half naked blacks, the concourse of Jaden mules, the waste and unculti- vated neglect all around this exuberant land, the occasional) villages, the imperial powder m ravanseries and guard houses, which we pasa in going ever this road, why should | dwell upon? Let us arrive and obtain carriages at Fregosa, and commence the ascent of the sierra. Our vehicle is a heavy one, and our mules form, by no means, a strong team; but if the day should be dne through- out, we do not object to the slow pace at which we are dragged up the steep acclivity; for, through ‘he whole sixteen or eighteen miles, our senses are enchanted with the beauty and grandeur of every- thing above, below, and around us. But a tine cay, atleast at this season, 1s what we means sure of amoagst these mountain p when it does rain, * you had better believe” it pays attention to the business of raining. However, | rain or shine, we arrive, about seven ia the even- ing, at Petropolis, and where, if we p at the Tiller House, a English supper and a hearty welcome awails us. (/f course, we are in no par- ueular hurry to get through with this grateful meal, afterthe fatigues of the journey, especially as we tind | the society at the table, including the family of our | worthy minister, Mr. Tod, particularly agreeable. cs After that, we fee! too tired, or it 18 too late, orthere is too much comfort the Yenkee rocking chair in which we seat ourselves, while we inhaie our * Babia” segar, and enjoy the cool breezes that | draw freshly through the long verandah—all rea- eons sufficient for not moving out of our ian that vight—even to make the most exciting exploration emong the surrounding mountains. But the next morning, if We are early risers, we plunge from | our beds into baths fed by the cold stream that | pours down fromthe sierra, and then mounting the vigorous little horses cf Petropolis, take a ecamper among the rock. d valleys, and earn for ourselves @ good appetite for the ample and quite Americen-like breakfast that awaits our retara at nine o'clock. After that, ninepins, whist, talk, begatelle, walks to the various points of interest, visits to the villa, (for our hotel 1s suburban,) and other amg ments, while away the day; and the evening is spent sometimes by a dance, or more whist, or more anything else you please; though the highest enjoyment, especially to a quiet maa like myself, consists in the mere inxury of living, and in breathing the pure and health giving air of this elevated region, eepectally after eweltering for months in the close and heated atmosphere of Kio. But I have not yet given you much account of Petropolis. tme goon: [a the highest part of the range of hills that ekirt the northwestern side of the great bay of Kio de Janeiro, there are seve- rel beautiful valleys which lie in elose neighbor hood, and are evrrounded on ati sides by Titanic black, and hills, whose Jofiy brows are here t derolate, and there grecn to the very crown with erenniel verdure—craggy and vast, the bold, buld head of some alpine hill frowns down upon the ae- A of vale and mirrored iake ; and, + throws his head as bigh ty brist- g with oaks and fire, wh deepening shadows are thrown athwart a sister vale, into Whose bosom a cilvery current winds i's course around the trees | gnarled roots of the antique torest vericns dales and valleys are inhabited by a coleny of Germans from the lower Khine; and the whole settlement is knowa as Petropolis though that name ‘is more 1 bes'owed upoa the town which occupies th valley, with four or live hundred hor The whole of u mounta'n domein wae originally the private roperty of Vedro L., the father of the present em ci The founder ot the eoloay is Pedro II some ten yeers Tered liberal proposals to fermans to emigrate hither, and some three Ww ement at I rtaia easy co works They we inditeed to come te tropoti thovssnd peor , and form a se otted to them upon e+ yment upon publ or aceties of yeors rt own churcbes and ditions inured € also to schools Those promises have been tolerably well kept The community has increas villages have purg up, with churches schools, and the ew road ove: the mountains is one great result ees gag nfo in progress of erection, and partl: finished. It was occupied, during the prevalence of the epidemical fever at Rie, last summer, by the imperial family. When completed, it wiil be an elegant, but not ostentatious building, and the regular summer palace of the court. A fitter place for royalty to unl ad in, and ‘ smooth ita wrinkled front,” can scarcely be imagined. Here, during the last season, the emperor and empress lived very much en bourgeorste. The latter is a person of plain manners end uapretending exterior; from her fair complexion, one wov'l Neapolitan origin, and her mild German features betoken what she is said eminently to posseas— reat goodness of heart and sweetness of temper. Fike her royal sister of England, she appears to be devoted te home pleasures and domestic duties, im which she 13, perhaps, better fitted to shine than in the pompous ceremonies of a regal court. When residing at Petropolis, she walked out dany with ber children, ail dresged in the plainest cos tume, their homely sunbonnets ducking familiariy to every peasant who lifted his avmbrero respect- sully, in peanng, I would here remark, that, in Brazil, every body salutes every body by a courieous gesture, or a cordial and reciprocal ** bons dias.” ‘The half naked black, trudging by the side of his cargo mule: the dirty urchin, idling by the road- side ; the stolid German, or the stately Senor—ail raise their hats ia passing a stranger ; nay, should pes fortunately utter an audible sneeze, the very eggar lying in the wayside shade will start up and greet you with a hearty viva, which, unless you are the veviest churl that ever sprung from Anglo-Saxon stock, you will reward by at least a civil muy obligadv in return.” In- deed, Iam not certain that many of our preux chevaliers at home might not be taught a lesson in good manners by making a visit to Brazil. Wot much more remains to be said of Petropolis. Too many fine things could ecarcely be said of the beautiful scenes that nature here opens to us on every hand; but minute of Sanathy descriptions are apt to become tiresome. An almost infinite varie- ty of scenery, clad with strange and beautiful ver- {ure, such as only lives in the tropics, is the pecu- liarity of Brazil; but, in addition, Petropolis pos- sesses an atmosphere that exhilarates like the first ge of champagne ; and as it is fast becoming to io de Janeiro what our Saratogas, Newports, &e., are to our own metropolis—a health giving place of fashionable resort—I have deemed that it might not be uninteresting to some of your readers After two or three weeks spent here, [ shall retura to Rio with regret. i Interesting from the Sandwieh Islands.

LBOTURE BY DR. BETTNER, AT NOPE CHAPEL. On Wednesday evening, Dr. Bettner delivered hia second lecture on Oriental life, and chose China as his subject. Considering the advantageous po- sition of China, he said, ite high state of culti- vation, the extensive commerce and enterprise of its people, their curious customs and habits, China, the oldest and still the newest nation in the world, | and atanding, as it does, face to face to our own continent, must form a subject of peculiar interest to every one of ua. The aspect of the coumtry ta | beautiful, diversified by hills and valleys, and in- tersected by navigable rivers, and numerous canals. ‘The whole of China int act, one extensive garden. It possesses the greatest population of any nation on the globe, being, according tothe census | of S47, about four hundred and fifty millions. I order to supply sueh a vast nuayber, all kinds of grain and vegetables are extensively cultivated. A great quaniity of flour is imported from Sidaey, and their rice from Java. It is in social life we see displayed the peculiarities of a people—their | national character and ideas. The Chinese re- semble the French greatly, by frequently aveo- ciating together. They have tea-gardene instead of our cotfee-houses. They live very cheap. All is also remarkably cheap. They pay compliments by myieg friend, or brother. Their salutation con- sists in bowing, and doubling their hands. Taeir ing cards are somewhat different from ours, g considerably longer. Their dinnera are served up according to the French style, and very sumptuous. No nation has carried the culinary art so farsa China. They are remarkably fond of gelatinous food, particularly of several kinds of sea weed. They use chairs to sit upon, while all the other peone in the East do not. In their stores they have also seats for their customers. The feod of the common people consists mostly of ducks, pigs, eggs, fisb, &c. The higher clase, again, fare very sumptuously. They have many attendants, and live, in fact, in a style which is unsurpassed by any other nation, and which could not be sustained anywhere else. Every kind of trade is considered by them as discreditable. The women are never seen in the streets. They live in Constant seclusion. The price of labor there is about ten cents a day, on enaverage. First rate workmen will, however, earn forty cents a day. The Chinese wear tails or queues; they use the moustache. In habits, no jeople are more frugal and more economical than they, are, and none more cunning and politic. They submit to the ills ‘Theatrical and Musieal.

There are no poor houses or poor rates, the poorer classes being maintained by voluntary contributions. Tne Chunese surpass the whole of the eastera people in enlightenment and activity. Their institutions in- dicate a high degree of civilization. The Chinese education, although the oldest, is the best in the world, and somewhat similar to our own system. The government contributes a portion of the mo- ney neceesary for the support of schools, while the parents make up the rest.

He then alluded to the lite encouragement the man of learning has to expect in this country, and to the niggardly com- pensation for his Jabor. In the organization of their government, the Chinese have seized upon two principles, which are, parental affection and filial obedience. Hence their success, and hence the extraordinary durability of their public in: tutions. Notwithstanding t! vantages, there are some rebelliousand revolutionary movements foing on. China has also her political agitators, er radical reformers, her socialistic Fourieritea, and religious transcendental: incite the people to rebelli The language is very peculiar and interesting. It consists of the hieroghphic, combinative, and symbolical cha- racters. As a epoken language it is very harsh and unpleasing, being both gutteral and nesal. When Src esa they use pencils and not pens. The Chinese possess at once all the finesse and politeness of the French—all the gra ty and taciturnity of the Germans, combined wit ail the energy and enterprise of the Yankees. The tea plant has been cultivated in China for mere than a thousand years. It is scarcely two hundred ears since it was first introduced into Eurooe. he shrubs which produce the tea grow to seven feet in height. They are very hardy, and are used edges. The soil upon which the plant grows stenie and rocky, exactly similar to the quality in which the vine 1s raised. It is the same it that gives the black and the green teas-.-the dif- ference _—. the quality of the ground and the manner in which it is cured. The plants are plucked every third year; rolling, heating and sifting, com- plete the procees ot curing. The Chinese only use black tea. The best qualities are not permitted to be exported; and, consequently, the Chinese tea markets are supplied with better and far superior qualities of teathan ours are. They have as many different names’ for their t we have for our wines. They use neither milk nor sugar with the tea. The tea crop is enormous—eight hundred miliions of pounds are annually raised. The Chi- nese take tea frequently during the day, and at every meal. The tea plant is also found pretty extensively in Java, A » South America, and several other places. The question has arisen whether the cultivation of the tea plant—which hae been attempted in South Carolina—will suc- | ceed in this country or not. His impression is, that there is not the shghtest difficulty in raising tne | common kinds of tea in South America; but that | the cultivation of the finest qualines will be ua- | successful, because it does not depend solely upon the latitude; the longitude also exerts an influence | upon the plant. “Tea isan agreeable and whole- some drink, it is also the most beneficial and the most universal; and the nation who first intro- | duced thiz delicious beverage, deserves our eternal | ratitude.

They did, however, break down that | monopoly of the Hong Kong merchants, before which time no Chinese could trade with foreigners, | except the monopoliste.

They clear a net revenue of twenty-five thousand | dollars annually from this trade; they have, a an additional inecme of twenty-five thousand dol lars for taxes laid upon the tea trade Dr. Bettner then concluded by returning hie thanks for the attention that the audience bestowed upon the subject of his lecture , who endeavor to The Collings Steamship Arctic.
