2 A NEW INSTITUTION IN THE UNITED FALSE GODS (NOT POLITICAL) SET UP IN OUR MIDST. Tae Mammon Worshippers ef California Prestrating Themselves before Buddhist Shrines. Celestial Propagandists amongst the Out- side Barbarians, &e., a&e., &e. Oar San Francisco Correspondence. Say FRancusco, April 21, 1856, Brauguration of & Buddhist Temple—Arrival of Ching Fai—Description of the Opening Ceremonice—The Feast —The Sacrifices—Chinese Devotion—Squibs and Orackera General Flare-up in Honor of the Joss. After the gigantic efforts of missionary and Bible so- @leties to spread the beneficent influence of Christianity @hrowghout heathenish lands, the people of San Francisco ere witnesses of the inauguration of Buddhism on Ameri- ean soil, attended with unusual pomp and magnificence. ‘Fhe Chinese pepulation have at last, after many disap- polatments, imported a wooden god and all the paraphar- walia of their worship, or the purpose of erecting them @* permanent institutions in our midst. They have in ‘ast years celebrated annually funeral feasts, visiting the ‘& es of departed relations, to offer articles of food for Derr spirits to feast upon. This year the same obser- ‘vances were gone through the day before this deity was fmstalled. The introduction of public idolatry into Caii- fornia isan event that may well claim the attention of the people of the United States, and, as considerable dis- play was made, a discription of the ceremony and orna- mants used on the occasion may prove interesting to the veadere of the Hxnatp. Before the dawn cf Christianity, Buddhism was seven @enturies in existence. , It is more ancient than the reli- gion calling itnelf Catholic, and can count a greater num- Der of followers, and a larger extent of territory subject 40 %t, than United Christentom, Cakymouni is supposed to be its founder. He bad in view the alleviation of the eondition of mankind, and endeavored to prove himself a | Denefactor to his race. He was expelleiasa heretic from | Brabmanirm, but ultimately his doctrines were adopted: and were soon recognized as a distinc’ re.igion. ‘The festival, as it was called, comunenced on the 4th instant, and continued to the 8th, occupying five days. The arrival of the statue of Ching Tai, or Joss, a renown: ed character in Chinese history, deified by that people. furnished the occasion, The edifice in which it was held was erected in 1853, and is called the See-Yup Azylum, ‘The builcing, constructed of brick, is situated on Pine street, and is of a singular sty’e of architecture, tha en- ‘trance being through narrow end devious passages, hay- ing cn each side high walls. A general Granites was ex'enced to our citizens, through the press, to visit the | building, and at least twenty thousand men and women must have taken advantage of the access freely accorded. ‘The inhabitants of the Flowery Kingdom are prastised in politeness, ard all who visited their temple were treated | ‘with extreme courtesy. Entering on the ground floor, over which is suspend- ed two large colored ba'loon ismps, is & spacious re- ception room tastefully furnished with cushioned chairs | and tables arranged on each side. The walls were ov- ‘Vered with paintings of females and children, with round fall faces and exceeding'y fait. One rep:esented Ching ai the chosen patron of the See-Yup, with features very unlike any celestial that has yet mae his appear- ance here. This apartment was used as @ supper room, and vititers were accommodated with ten ant tobacer | ‘The principal ceremonies, and the installation of the ‘wooden deity, were enacted in the second story. A large Foom, occupying nearly the entire floor, was devoted for this object. It was gorgeously farnished in oriental mtyle, and its appearance at first had » most striking ef- fect. From the ceiling was rusperded small pieces of ‘Painted wood,"baving sentences in praise of the Joss; and seattered through tbe ball were boards with similar in On a large table in the centre of the room ‘was placed » hog and ram ready for cocking; a large yoast pig, with towl, plucked clean of their feathe: d various kinds of fish, all decorated with small boqusts of artificial flowers and gold leaf. On other tablea were apples, oranger, bananas and tropical fruits, arranged om pistes like piles of shot. The Chinese cuisine was put vader tribute to add to the display of suxu: nd as it i_clades dogs, unbatched chiekens, rats, feline ragouts, the uninitiated would herita teking of any part of the feast. Diminuti fizares of plaster, showing rkill and taste in desigo. had Png amic the tables, anc appeared to stand gaard over many set out.

Occasionally, wallss recurring to the many outrages upon life and law, he grew warm and eloquent, which produced = deep’ impression, not only upon the jary, but all in attendsnce. Judge Le- compte is the man of the right stamp, both as @ jarist and gentleman. The Grand Jury have returned several bills of indict. ment, and it ia rumored that the Marshal is now upon a visit fo their Highnesses, Reeder and Robinson, but of course we cannot speak with certainty, as these matters sre confined to the knowledge ot the court for a while. The Marshal and Deputies are ont for something, and no doubt they each have bench warrants in their pockets. A few days will explain all. We shall attempt to [keep our friends posted, as this is an important court upon the present crisis of affcirs. REEDER THREATENS THE MARSHAL’S LIFE—IN- FLAMMATORY SPEECHES. News bas just reached us of a very important charae- ter. The court, day pefore yesterday, issued a sud; for A. H. Reeder, to appesr before the Grand Jury. The Deputy Marshall was directed to serve the process, and immediately proceeded to Tecumseh, where Reeder was then attending the testion of the committee, and served the summons, Reeder toid the Marshal, em. Platically, that he would not atiend. | Uson such re- turn bewg mace, Judge Lecompte weued an attachment; the officer proceeded on yesterday to Lawrence to serve it, He found Reeder in the committee room and inform. ed him of the atiachment he bad against him, whereupon Reeder told him “4if he laid his hands upon him it would be at the pert of his life.” He said he would not obey the summons, be did not recognize its legality, and that he was exempt from any arrest, “beicg a deiegate to | Congress trom Kansas Territory,” and repeated agaia, ¥ tue Marshal atvempted to exzcute the attachment, he should do it at the peril of his life. Duricg the remarks of Reeder, he was several times applauded by the crowd gathered ia the room and around e house at the doors and windows. Upon Reeder’s taking his seat, Sherman, one of the commitiee, ia & very animated and warm mancer sustained Reeder in his en- tise position, acknowlecging him « celegate trom the Ter- ritory of Kansas, and that mo “litte ferritorisi Court” had the power to interrupt Mr. Reeder, or that body, by the arrest of Mr. Reecer. He was sacred from the touch of apy such attachments. He said that they (the com- mittee) had the power and sufficient grounds to have every ixember of the Grand Jury and the Court arrested sent to Washington. He said many other things of imilar character that infismed the crowd to frequent outbursts of applause for Sherman and expressions of re- s'stsrce to the laws. Immediately after Sherman con- cluded, Howard. the other abolition member, srose and sustained both Reeder and Sherman. His zemarks were passicnate and ixflamstory, and were received by the crowd fn the same manner as Reeder’s and Sherman’s. Mr. Oliver several times requested the committee not to sy or do anythirg in the matter. ’I'was a matter on which aherane no authority to act, that Reeder was not a part of them, and that his presence and privileges were only allowed through courtery. He nor Mr. Whinfiela had n> right to demand cf them any privilegaybat they were forced to obey farther than courtesy compelied them. He said this was a point sprurg and unanimonaly consented to in the beginning of the investigation, end that he was surprised to see gentlemen pursuing the couree they had upon this cocasion. Mr, Osiver said that he, as « com- mitieeman, feeling he had no right or authority to act ia the maiter, woud do nothing Mersrs. Howard and Saer- man still persisted im their course. The Marshal return- ed without making any arres's, and so the matter stanis up to this time, These are the facts just communicated 10us by these gentlemen, present duricg th» proceed- ings, and if webad time shouli take their affidavits to the statement. Atter the rerosrke of Mrz. Oliver, Reeder very indig- pantly and insuiting’y told Mr. Oliver that no man wao acknowledged himeeif a lawyer would disseat from the opin'ons of Mecere, Howard snd Sherman, thit he was privileged from arrest a1 torial delegate, and re- peated “that if the Marshal jaid bia hends upon hia, twat he would do it at the peril of his lite.” We wise ¥€ had time to make some comments, but, as we stated in the bencuing, we stopped the press to give thee items—but this we will sty, and time will bear us out in, tne asvertion, that this act of Howard and Sher- man has dene more to creste c'vil commotion in Kansas, when any prececing act doce in our midst, This un- exled for, uns uthorized interference on the part of the committee will, no doubt, involve Kansas in war, We | steed by end tay our worthy fellow citizen shot down in the attempt vo execute the la wa, We row see ancthe- one th-ea‘ered if he sitemp's, and that threat countenanced and eustaiued by a committee sim: by Congress, prefesting to restore peace and amity in our much disturbed Territory.

No one appears to be frightened but holders of railroad stocks, whieh,gven in the event of a war, would not be materially injured, while the owners of vessels engaged in distant voyages: who would be ruined by a war with England, calmly and coolly attend to their legitimate line of business with the most perfect confidence in the future, dangers of the sea only excepted.

The great body of the community appear to be pursuing their usual course of business without a thought of war, They do not dream of a rupture wiih Great Britain, and it would be exceedingly difficult to make them believe that the return of Mr. Crampton can by any possibility endanger the peaceful relations of the two countries.
