New York, Sunday, October ay, 1858. The News. The yellow fever continues to prevail at Mobile, ew Orleans and other Southern cities. It will ‘ain until after a frost has visited the several a , ed cities, Absgntees as well as strangers, seeming- ly more anxious about time than eternity, are daily making their appearance in Mobile and New Or- Jeans, and aiding in the increase of tho disease.

The sa'es of cotton yesterday reached about 6,100 bales, chicfly in transitu. Prices continued to rule heavy and to ve unsettled and difficult to give, aa transactions on the spot were limited. Sates in transitu aro so much regulat od by rates of freight from Southern ports that it is diftl- cult to base quotations that would have any general ap: plication. A private despatch received from Mobile, dated the 16th, quoted middling cotton at 11%{c. a 11 %¢0., with sales of 2,600 bales.

Of the whole offered, 619 bags were withdrawn, and 200 bags of it after wards sold by private sale at 11 ye. The public sale was spirited, and fully sustained the previous prices of the trade. One thousand bags of Java were also sold by auc tion at I4e., at which the sale was stopped. Freight en gagements were moderate, and quotations without change of moment, Conversion of the Chinese—Great Movement Among the Churches. Whatever objections may be urged to religious propagalism as a system, there can be no doubt it has ever been the active instrument of civilization, Whilst, therefore, we may not al- prove the steps taken by the different Christian churches to diffuse their doctrines amongst barbarous tribes and nations, we cannot help recognizing the benefits which, on the whole, they have conferred on the commerce of the world and upon the interests of humanity | generally. We, of course, in common with the | vest of mankind, have a leaning towards a par- ieular creed; but we nevertheless regard with satisfaction the efforts of all the various denomi- nations of Christians to open up new fields for their labors amonget the vast masses of human beings who are still plunged in the darkness and intellectual sloth of paganism. One of the most promising results of the re- cent tre with China is the eagerness which has been displayed by the different Christian sects to avail themselves of the opportunities sfforded by them of carrying the light of the gospel inte the heart of thet vast empire. The ink on those instruments was seareely dry when vast preparations were everywhere set on foot to recruit missionaries for this great work. The Pope, alive to the importance of drawing within the folds of the Catholic Church a popu- lation outnumbering that of Europe, and specu- | lating probably on adding something substantial | to its patrimony, immediately set about organ- izing a grand scheme of pecuniary contributions | = over ay wae, with the view of enabling mai fonaries to this new fi a RG g te to facilitate the work of proselytism, the Jesuits, al- ready established there, despatched four native | students to Rome, in order that they may be edu- cated for the priesthood and sent back to aid in the spiritual regeneration of their countrymen. France, to whose efforts the most important of the religious privileges weung from the Chinese | are due, is also about to forward immediately, with the sanction of his Holines«, 2 number of young priests, drilled under the super. ision of her archbishops, and who will remain dircetly under their orders. The mission will be protected by war vessels, and will necessarily be more or less controlled by the civil government. In Russia a similar move- ment bas been inaugurated, and during the re- | cent visit of the Czar to Moscow, the Patriarch | of that city, in a sermon delivered before the Em- peror, abjared—nay, almost commanded—him to immediately march a legion of missionaries to China to convert the people te the Greek chureh. Nor are the churchmen in this country behind | their European brethren in the zeal and promp- titode of their efforts, Already the Episcopal Methodists of New York have sent out the Rev. | Mr. Baldwin and four female teachers. The American Duich Reformed church have also for- | warded to the old stations a fresh reinforcement of three missionaries and their wives, and it is only a few weeks since the Rev. Mr. Vrooman, of the Canton Mission, a«ked the American people for 350,000 missionaries to convert China to Christianity, and 60,000 yearly recruits to keep the number complete. In addition to these he demands 3,000,000 of teachers. -@ number suflf- cient, we should think, to keep up the reputation of the church militant, in case persuasive mea- sures should fail. ‘The magnitude of these preparations, backed as they will be by the authority of treaties and the presence of humerons vessels of war, leaves no doubt as to the proximate opening up of this im- mense empire to the purifying intluoneca of Christianity and the benefits of Western civiliza- tion. Where the missionary once obtains a foot- ing, we may reckon upon these results following in bis train. Bat the missionary would be pow- erless in China, as elsewhere, without the presence , aud aid of the sword. Much as the profession of the soldier is deeried, and the ravages he is com- pelled to commit groaned over, it is he who is in reality the pioneer of religion as well as of com- merce and civilization. In the march of haman progress the euldier moves first, then the mix tionary, and efter him the merchant. [t is a hope amd cheering feature in the solution of this Chinese problem—a problem which has vex- | ed the world for conturles—that these successive | conditions of progrestion are heing vigoroudy fulfilled, Once inundate China with missionar | and its adbesion to Western ideas and prin- ciples will follow as 4 matter of course. Tt ia not simply the propagandism of religions doctrines, but of the political and commercial systems of their respective countries that they will carry out. Some of these political systems may, and undoubtedly will prevail, to the exclusion of others; but the less favored vations may console themselves with the reflection that the commer- clal advantages which will be secured by the Jabors of the missionaries can be monopolized by none, and that the world — must par- ticipate in their perpen Conversion oF mae Cares —Econestastt et Zeat—The Bishop of Exeter, with an in- come of more than $50,000 a year, has offered a subscription of $500 towards a fund for the es- tablicament of special mission to China, when SUNDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1853. a bundred contributions of a similar amount 4 despotism, regardless of the cliquo in occups- shall be made for the same purpose.

The ladies, it was argued, used up 60 much money for their silks, laces, gloves, jewelry, snd so on, that their natural or acquired protectors broke down when the bills camein, This view of the subject ex- cited the livelieat interest in the highest sewing circles, and furnished a topic for that light, airy and elegant style of conversation which is con- sidered the correct thing in fashionable society. Away down East there dwelt the Chevalier Caleb Cushing, who had before proved his devotion to the beau sere in the tented field. Tho firo ot chivalry still burned in the breast of this Yankee Bayard, and he rushed to the tourney, armed at all points to defend the ladies against profane publicists and scoffers at the goddess of crino- line, We are not quite certain, but we are willing to believe that the Chevalier Cushing proved that the ladies were not responsible for the revulsion; that they wete all discreet, frugal, economical, saving—Lucretias in their household virtues, Minervas in wisdom, and Penelopes in abiding faith, which they are, of course. They cconomized last year by purchasing an immense quantity of old dry goods, which the dealers took an opportunity to “close out,” as they call it, “below cost.” Mra Toodles, it will be re- membered, did not want Thompson's door- piate, but thought it might come possibly in use at some time or other, That was the case with all her friends who made great bargains last year. Nor are our Christian ladies alone in their devotion to dry goods. We read in our foreign files that the Commander of the Faithful hath lately resolved to retrench, The represen- tative of Solyman the Magnificent has been over- taken by a crisis, He has been expanding too much, and must contract. The Sultan, there- fore, has appointed a commission, at the head of which is the Seraskier, Riza Pacha, to straighten out the civillist. The Pacha found that the houris who compose part of the imperial house- hold were among the prime plunderers of the public purse, He gave them some good advice; told them that the sort of thing that had been going on would not do any more; that when they went abroad they must not cut such heavy ewells, and generally they must contract. Ima- gine a Fifth avenue belle ordered to ride in an omnibus for life, when she has always had a coupé, and some idea may be formed of the in- dignation of the Light of the Harem when the Seraskier’s words were made known to her. Economy was a word unknown at the court of the Sublime Porte. The Light did not mean to be extinguished by it. She would not put up with any such nonsense. The Light called ail her slaves, ordered out her full dress caique, with no end of rowers, and covered Sel ee 8 S ons Fourth of July procession in an muenor town. Thus arrayed she made a call upoa one of the Sultaa’s daughters, aud the pair went on a grand crinoline blow out, ransacking all the bazaars and Imying the most costly statts that could be found. Returning home the Light sent for the Seraskier, and with that “there, now, what do you think of that,” air so expe- cially feminine, told him what she had done, and what Mantiiini calls the “demnition total” would be. The Pacha, terribly cut up, flew to the foot of the throne. The Commander of the Faithfal, who objects to being bored, agreed | with the Seraskier that it was a shocking state | of things, but mildly suggested the feastbility of | leaving that particular Sultana to do what she liked, otherwise she might do something “ugly” to him, at which the Sultan would be | penetrated with grief. So ended the attempled contraction of the harem. Now, it will be noticed that thoagh we have hot yet recovered allogether from the effects of our crisis, yet we have returned to the old ex- travagant ways of flush times. The Sultanas of New York and other cities vie with each other in the magnificence of their attire, and the im- porters say that the most costly stalls meet with the readicst sale. Nor is the love of display without adeqnate means conflaed altogether to the softer sex. The metropolis just now i# at the height of its autumnal splendor. City peo- ple wish to astonish their conntry consina, end they ip torn carry home town airs and dresses. It is a high carnival of fashion and folly, in which many people are imitating the perverse Light of the Harem. We are afraid that the Chevalier Cushing will have to make another speech in defence of the erinoline. Per- | national issues of November—will not be per- | mitted seriously to damage the uaity and har- mony of the masses of the party. Tux Soctat Revowvrion iv IreLanp.—We find in the last Irish papers a summary of the pro- ceedings of the Encumbered Estates Court, from the filing of the first petition on the 25th of Oc- tober, 1849, to the 31st of August, 1858, being the termination of the ninth and Inst session of the commission. This document is a highly in- structive and suggestive one. It appears that the total amount of purchase money received by the court between the above dates was £23,161,- 093 Gs. 7d., and the gross amount of funds distri- buted, £21,934,696 Os. 9d., leaving a balance on hand of £1,226,397 5s. 10d. The amount of pur- chase money paid by English, Scotch and foreign buyers waa only £3,160,224, leaving a resi- due of £20,000,5€9 6s. 7d, amongst the Irish pur- chasers. Thus it will be seen that nearly twenty-two millions of hopeless indebtedness have been cleared off, and the industry and pro- ductive resources of Ireland benefitted nominally to the same, but in reality to a much larger amount. Once liberated from the incubus of this enormous burden, and fructified by the capi- (al returned to it through indirect channels, the soil of Ireland has shown that it is fully capable of sustaining a population much larger than that which has hitherto dragged out a miserable and precarious existence upon it. The Trish laborer can earn wages suffi- cient to support his family in comfort, becanse the present holders of the land are free from debt gud have the means of cultivating it. The im- provement which has taken place in his condi- tion is, as a natural consequence, reacting upon the manufacturing and commercial interests of the country, and thus we see the linen trade and others of the old staple interests of Ireland rapid- ly reviving, whilst the advantages of her splen- did maritime position are being developed by new enterprises like that of Mr. Lever’s Galway line of steamere. There is one curious fact connected with the measure which hes worked out these great changes which is worth mentioning. The pride of family is, a3 it is well known, one of the strong- est sentiments which animates the Irish heart. All classes are more or less influenced by it, and the commonest laborer who can claim a pure Milesian descent is as proud of it as the oldest ennobled families of the invasion are of theirs. One of the greatest difficulties which legislators had to deal with in devising a remedy for the so- cial evils by which Ireland was afflicted, was that of breaking up the ties which bound the people to their old traditions. When the Encum- bered Estates act was resolved upon, it was ap- prehended by many that it would lead to an im- metese influx of English and Scotch proprietors, and asort of internecine warfare between the adherents of the old families and of the new ones. So far from this anticipation being realized, it WHEE WO COU, Mun the mbeen Agmroa that only a seventh of the whole amount of property sold has paseed into foreign hands, whilst the remainder bas been purchased by Irish capitalists. It has been ascertained, curious to say, that a large propor- tion of these latter are branches of the fiunilies of the original proprietors, who, having had the good sense to prefer honest industry to helpless dependence, were enabled to amass sufficient | money in trade to purchase back portions of the estates which the improvidence of their elders had sacrificed. This is one of the reasons why the Irish people, usually con- | sidered so impracticable, have been readily | brought to accept the changes which the Encum- | ered Estates act has effected in all the social re- | lations of the country. Now that they have had « clear experience of the beneficial resalts of the | measure, there is no reason to appreherd that the progress which it has inaugurated will be arrested by prejudice or want of exertion on their part. Let Irishmen have fair play and a full field for their energies, and we have no doubt that they will develope the qualities of in- dustry and thriftiness, in which it has been the habit to account them deficient.
