A Dr. Parker, the Ameiican; commissioner. and Hip, the Viceroy of Centon. We have not seen the corpsapondsnce but it bas been made public enough in Canton, where If has been freely commented upon. The case, as we have heard {t, is as follows:—— On the Commissioner’s arrival by the December mail, H, E. acdressed @ communication to Hip, simply infora- ing him of his having en:ered up.n the duties of his office ae Commissioner from the United States. fo this note no answer was returned. Weeks passed on; the time was about arriving when a United States vease! could be peor at the Commissioner’s disposal to convey him to ‘anton ina manner befitting his position, and it wad therefore necessary to test the Viceroy’s politeness by acéresizg him @ second communication. Pais was more Tepg'hened, and of a heel flowery and insinuatin, charac‘er. It informed the Viceroy that the writer had previously had ihe honor to address him; it enclosed him & copy of the public notice which the Commissioner had issued ageinst the Coolie trade, and expressed the Com- missioner’s anxious desire to see this deplorable trafiic brought to an end, and requested that the Viceroy would be good enough to appoint a day on which an iaterview might be held ‘n order that the Commissioner might deli- ver into the Viceroy’s own hands a letter which the Presi- dort ofthe United States had addressed to the Emperor of China, with which he had been entrusted, and that he might have on opportunity of expressing the earnest wishes of the President for the unlimited longevity of the Emperor, and the prosperity of the{Flowery Land, by oommunicat- ing which to the Celestial Court, the Viceroy would render H. E, excessively happy. Finally the Cammls- sioner expressed his own happiness on finding the country free from the dirsensions which had exlated at his deperture, and all erjoying compleve repose, and ended with ‘he urual assurances to the Viceroy of his own esteem and consideration. Ihe Commissionor’s re- juest seems in every way modest enough, and the grant- Fog of it would be aaticivated by all but thous acquainted with apercitious pride aud haughtiness of Chinese. peneee @ Feecnd communication did more than the irat, for it brought about a reply. reply was worded in the most guarded manner, It referred to the first communication; and the Commis- sioner was informed that the Viceroy had thereby been made acqualnted with his (the Commissioner's) ap- pointment ; it referred slightly to the notification ra- garding the coolie traffic, and most diplomatically to the request mace for an interview. The Viceroy said that on previous ocessions, havirg repeatedly had interviews with Dr. Parker in Canton, he could see no good reason why another should now be sought for, the more especial- ly as he had no time at his diposal, being busily engaged in the qilitary administration of tne affairs of the Kwang-si—that as regards the letter to the Emperor, the Commissioner had only to enclose it to him and he wou'd forward it to Peking when he could find a cor venient op- porturlty. Im truth, the Commissioner had this reply mace to him—‘‘No can see.” This polite bowing out of the American Commissioner can hardly bave been unlooked for even by Dr. Parker, It simply now remains to bo seen whether H. E. the Com- missioner Plenipotentiary from the government of the United Staies will do, as Hip desires him to do, forward the President’s letter to the Emperor of China through some common Canton police runner, or will stand upon his posi Pier Cemand ita per, tore at the hands of the Viceroy of Canton, as stipulated for in the Sist artiole of the American treaty. Large Shipment of English Cattle for the United States. [From the Liverpool Times, April 26.] It is not perhaps generally known that cat@e are ooca- sionally shipped at this port for America. It appears that bak cattle are held in high esteem on the other side ct the Atlantic, and, in some instances, almost fabulous pe are given for them when they are known to have een selected from the stocks of emment breeders. This © of things haw necessarily ea'led tnto more active re- quisition that spirit of enterprise for which the American people are proverbial, and large shipments of cattle are eda from land to supply the demand in the Ameri- cen markets. The trade is carried on by agents sent to this country for the purpose of attendirg our principal cattle sales and making purchases. By the jiom of new blood into the American stock, it is anticipated that many of its hereditary defects will be done away with, and the gereral character or the breei materially and permanently improved. On Monday, the 2ist of April, an extensive shipment of cattle for this purpose was mace at this port, by Moners, Bell, of the Adelphi coactirg establishwent. They had previously con- ducted other consignments of » mmilar kind. The stock comprised twenty-fiur head of cattle and a lot of Southdown sheep, all of them being of that high class for which our own country and Ireland are 60 eninently distinguisked. They wore purchased at cattle suies in various parts of the kingdom, and amongst the brevcers are the names of Booth, Bolden, Knightley, Fawkes, Tcwneley, Barnett, Fowler, Linssy, and that en- terprising Irish farmer Mr. Christie. fhey were selec: by Aleesrs, Marebail and Smoot. A fine yearling heifer attracted much attention. It took the first prize for the best yearling heifer, at the Royal Dublin Society’s ahow egainst all Irelard, and atao wm the priza of £60, given by Col. Towne!cy, of Towneley Aa‘l. A splenaid bull, celled Vatican, touk the first prize at the Royal Agcisul- tural Society’s Show, beld at Liscoln in 1851. There were other fine specimens from the herds of F. H. Fawkes, Esq., of Farnley Hull. A poztion of the animals were ecnsigned to Mr. Thorne, of New York, who ia wall known here ua a celebrated cattle breeder, and more particul: ly from his baving conferred a distinguished honor on this country, by electing two bulls, for which he gave ‘the extraordinary sum of ‘1,000 gulueas each.

Every pecautlora measure was taken for their safety, and there ia litcle doubt that they will reach their dessination witbout the slightest accident, The arrangements for the shipment were conducted solely by Mes+rs. Bell, who accomplished their tark in the most eatisfxctory manner. Me. Straf- ford, ot Landon, an extensive cattle salesman, and editor of the ‘ Hezd Book,”’ came down to Liverpool’ to see the cattle pleobd on board the vessel, and expreased his ap- proval of the way in which Messrs. Bell discharged their duty, There {s lictle doubt that as the facilt'i-« oflered a7 this port for shipping cattle besome more generally known, this branch of traffic will be largely increased.

Remazxs ON THE Evaiisn Exuistuent Question, with an Absteact of the Correspondence thereon. By R. W. Rureell. This pamphlet has been written to prove that the English government committed no infringement of he laws of the United States in the course which it pursued in endeavoring to obtain recruits for its armies in this country. Mr. Russeli contends that hiring or engaging men to go abroad with intent to suading or assisting them to do so. The oneis never intended to be madea legal offence. The right |’ of a citizen of the United States togo abroad and serve in any foreign army cannot for a moment be contested. If Congress, therefore, had intended to punish persons for furthering by their counsel or assistance the exercise of that right, they would be clearly straining their constitutional powers. The instruetions issued by the English government to ita agents in this country expressly cautioned them against committing any act which might be con- strued into a promige or contract of enlistment with- in the jurisdiction of the United States. The terms offered were to be stated as matter of informa- tion only, and not aa implying any promise or engagement on the part of those supply- ing such information. From these statements of law and fact Mr. Rascell deduces that the extreme view taken of the question by our government is erroneous, and not justified by a fair interpretation of the authorities relied upon by Mr. Secretary Marcy. Hontes’s MepioaL AND SURGICAL SPROIALIST. We perceive by the last number of this able scientific periodical, that its editor, Dr. Hunter, has associated with him in his literary labors several eminent physicians, who have charge of the spe- cialities in which they have severally distinguished themselves. Thus, Dr. Francis Salter writes upon diseases of the eye and ear, Dr. Wm. Henry Tucker on diseases of the stomach and liver, and Dr. Van- derveer Newton on diseases of the skin. Dr. Henry Melville performs the duties of assistant editor, and Dr. Hu1.ter, as usual, devotes his pen to pulmonary and bronchial affections. With such efficient aid, the Specialist promises to become one of the most interesting and important. medical publications in the country. Jn the April number we notice some statistics with regard to consumption in New York, which are deserving of attention. It will be recol- lected that a statement was lately put forth by Dr. Hunter that the diminution in the mor- made penal by the act of Congress; the other was A antipodes of these. The wis comica scoms to him of the manner born, and, whether on or off the atage, it bursts forth irrepressibly at every move- ment. He has only to take the pen in his hand to throw off wichout effort quaint conceits and fancies which woud make the fortune of any regular litte- rateur, His other avocations do not often permit him to thus amuse bimeelf, but when he dues he always gives us something bearing the stamp of eccentric genius.

The new edition of this admirable work, of which we have received the two first volumes, will bring down the narrative of European events to the ac- cession of Louis Napoleon, the first ten years of whose reign will probably form the next contribu- tion of its distinguished author to historical litera- ture. The story of the complications which led to the Russian war, and of the events which marked | and are certain to flow from it, will in itself form material sufficient for a couple more volumes, Should | Sir Archibald Alison live long enough to witness the iesult of that precious piece of political patch- work, the Treaty of Paris, he will find, perhaps, occasion to change many of the views to which he has given expression in the earlier portion of hia | history, Grorge CARDWELL; or, A Monta IN A Countae Paniso. Dana & Co. This is a pleasingly written sketch of rural life, the object of which is to practically illustrate the value of the principle of life insurance. Mr. D. N, Morgan, the President of the Manhattan Life In- surance Company of New York, is the author. The book, we believe, can be had gratis, by applying to the office of the company, at whose expense it has been published. PrororraL Lirg AND ADVENTURES OF JACK ADAYS, the Celebrated Sailor and Mutineer. By Captain Chamier, R. N. This 1s a cheap reprint by Peterson of Phila- delphia, of one of Captain Chamier’s beat stories. It combines all the interest attaching to the life of a remarkable historical character, with the stirring events which make up a career at sea, and which no man knew better how to throw into the form of an attractive narrative than Capt. Chamier. Wau-Pun, the “Early Day” in the Northwest. Mrs. John H. Kinzie. Derby & Jackson. This isan autobiography giving a narrative of the early settlement of Chicago, by Mrs. John H. Kinzie, daughter of the enterprising gentleman who By tality from consumption, observable in the City built the first house in that place. It includes the Tnspector’s reports for the last three months of 1855, as compared with the corresponding three months of 1853 and 1854, and amounting to nearly twenty-five per cent, was attributable, in a great degree, to the system of treatment recommended and practised by him. The first quarter of the new year having just expired, Dr. Hunter, in reply to some criticisms that have been published on his statement, shows that this decrease, so far from being an isolated fact, is history of many important and stirring events, such as the massacre of Chicago, and the surrender of Detroit, in which the family of the writer were sufferers, The book is written in a natural and truthful vein, and consequently has a freshness and interest which will recommend it strongly to the favor of our readers. As a faithful and well drawn picture of the life of those pioneers of the American wilderness who have paved the progressive, and that in the latter perioditamountsto | Way for civilization, it deserves to rauk with the no Jess than thirty-five per cent. The following tables, | best sketches of the sort that have as yet Leen pub- taken from the City Inspector's reports, certainly appear to establish the correctness of his asser- tions:— Ip the first quarter of 1354 the deaths from consumption were— In commenting upon these figures, the Doctor says:— When it is considered trat the past winter bas been ur usually seyere end that there has been a very con- sideravie increase in the population of New York during the past two years. whicn increase would, of necesti-y, sveliins correrpording degree the number of puir>. acy cases, it will be seen that even thirty-"wo p:r cent does not repzeatnt the actual decrease which bas taken plece in the mortali'y trom consumption. During the part {wo years may thousands in this city have availed themselves of our ucvice for the purprse of being treated by inhelstion; ana there is scarcely a town or hamiet throughout the Union from whi:h con- stmptives Pave not come to submit their cases to our care, This gcaeral resort to tubelation eould not be un- produc ive of results. If our treatment had been unsuc- eereful it must have {ncressed the mortali y. If anccess- ful, itcould aot but dimini-h it in proportion te that suceess. None who are at ail acquain.ed with the mag: xitude of our practice will deny that it has been, duricg the past two years, sufficient to exert the most decited influence on the { mortality, not only of this city, of Philatelphis, Bslticore and Boston. That that ivflueuce has beou exerted in the marked Ceereare in the numter of deaths is i from he facts, not enly legitirate, put, veidable; ard ‘we claim it act on any personal geounds, but astae netural result of adoptiog # more Girect, sim- ple ané commen sence treatment. More than s yeasag> ‘we stated in one of our publiched letters tnat “if every case of consumption in oity wee placed under ju cicious treatment by inhalation, within two yeas she mortality from this Gisease would be diminished one- Falf,”” This preistion 1s now coming to pass. A single fact is worth a host of assertions, and the Doctor ceems to have the advantage of mathe- matical demonstration on his side. We believe in a science which can be reduced to such positive de- duction.

The Sparnoworass Parers. By I. G. Cozzens. New York. Dix & Edwards. This is a collection of country sketches, most of which hove already appeared in Putnam's Maga- zine, aud (ormed one of the chiet attractions of that periodical. Mr. Cozzens is a new hand in the literary workshop, known only ina small circle as the author of a volume of lively sketches published tome time since under the pseudonyme of “Huy- warde.” The “Sparrowgrass Papers” are likely to secure him a high place among American ho- morists. They breathe a pure, hearty country air, and can be thoroughly apprecia‘ed by every one who bas lived for three months within hail of the “green sward” or the “roystering brook.” Kindly genial bumcr—a quaint, homely style—a keen ap- preciation of the comical in the various aspects of country life—and, rising above all these, a happy temper, which nothing can discompose—such are the chief characteristics of the book. It will be, no doubt, the summer book of the season; and, in- deed, a fitter companion to “Lotus Eating,” to car- ry with one into the shade at Saratoga or under the old trees on Goat Island, or to the sea beach at New- port, it were hard to select. From the author, how- ever, literature will expect something more and still better hereafter. Yankee AMONG THE Mermatps. By Wm. E. Burton, Esq. T.B. Peterson, Philadelphia. Those who know Mr. Burton as an actor, natural- ly arrive at tbe opinion that he must be a humorist of a high order. The conclusion in his case is cor- rect, though it is far from being ao generally. Some of the best comedians that the stage has boasted of have been but melancholy dogs off the boards. Liston was morose and tacitarn; Grimaldi, the clown, was ® confirmed hypochondriac; and little Keeley, whose very appearance sets an au- dience in 1 roar, has little or nothing to say for lished. The book is appropriately dedivated to General Cass. Tax Bunssy Parrrs—Irisn Ecnors. By John Brougham. Derby & Jackson. After Banim, Carieton, Griffin and Lover the man must be a bold one who ventures into the field eas asan Irish storyteller. There is as widea diffe- rence between the clear, sparkling, genuine humor of those writers, and the flashy, theatrical by-play of our friend John Brougham, as there is between the ring of the genuine metal and of the faise. Trish eccentricities to be rendered at all must be rendered literally. They will not bear adaptation, like the production of French dramatists which fit well on to any stage. GovFRNMENT Map or NICARAGUA. Fulton strect. This isa cheap lithographed map of the State of Nicaragua, taken from the last surveys ordered by Don Patricio Rivas and General Walker. It has been executed under the supervision of Senor Feu- nin Ferrer, Governor of the Western Department, and the errors contained in Bailey’s and other maps have been carefully rectified in it. Lixvrenant Mavury’s PuystoaL GroGraPay oF vax Sea. Harper & Brothers, The sixth edition of this admirable work is now announced. It has received several important ad- denda from tie results of the latest discoveries in maritime geography, and correcting the ‘heories previously set forth by the light of new observations. The fact that the book has run through so many editions in the course of a year, is the best evidence that can be afforded of the general appreciation it has met with. Loomis’s AriTaweTic. Harper & Brothers. Thuis is one of the best digested and most useful educational works published by this writer. We re- commend it highly to schoois. Hampyre'’s CLassican LIBRARY. Youge’s translation of the orations of Cicero, forming the 12th volume of this excellent serial, is just out. Nolibrary should be without this collec- tion. Aw Unsovunp Boog Fortacomina. The Rev. John Young, upon whom tne Senatus Academieus of the University of Edinburg recently conferred the degree of LL. D.,and whose late work, “The Christ of History,” is familiar to our religious readers, is about bringing out another work on the- ology, under the somewhat singular title of “The Mystery; or, Evil and Good.” The early shects of this work reached this country some weeks ago, and have passed through the hands of several of our prominent publishers, three of whom announced its A.
