Not a ‘word, not an act, can be oiled that beary evidence of uny- thing calculated to remove the foolings of contempt which She Mormons joatly felt towards some of their prodecns ‘ners, Whosd Immora.\ities were a stench in their nostrils. ‘Your readers cannot have forgotten the eternal din wade in the States for nearly two years over the burning of the United States tibrary and the records of the Sa preme Court. Uncle Sam was dreadfully Met and ‘gutraged—poor old gentleman ! Yet when 1 records and books were discovered intact, who among them but Gov. Cumming had the common honesty to undeceive the public and bear witness tha’ this grand charge @ weasop, rebellion, and the devil knows what, inst the ‘United States, was an unmitigated faleehood: Bening short of the impeacbment of his Exceliency’s Yeracity, by a correspondent of a city paper, forced from dhe Secretary of the Territory the affidavit that the books and records were all right, and that the Mormons had been villaixously slandered; and even in tho face of these afii- davits the same correspondent maintained hissiander, and gave ae one see oy judy beep 5 game Ji made himeelf ric jously Mexico Py priestly law on whieh he could indict the . This was the first Judge who en- trea a yey ayrangemons of aimiouitens” What has the done? President Buchanan’s “par- @on”’ stood in his way. He wanted to try the whole of the inhabitants for treason, convict them, pass judgment and then hand them the “pardon,” if they would accept a. On this meget work he wanted to commence wkh Brigham Young. Why? Sim) because be had heard comebody vay, who had heard another vorerpear way, that he knew somebody who was acquainted wi mother somebody that had heard it said that Brigham ‘Young would never appoar before a Gentile Court to an- swer to anything preferred against him. The Prosecuting Atoruey fortunately arrived in time to steady the young Judge's boad, and his celebrated charge to the jury accom. nothing beyond furnishing the Mormons with the evidence of his ance and spleen. Hus subsequent eourse bas been all of a plece—that was the second Judge. The third Judge—what has he done? Take his last act: # expiains enough. Contrary to the decision of the Su- preme Court he takes a fancy—after some length of time with the army at Camp Floyd—to holda court at Pro- ve. He opens court with a tothe jury that bas astonished everybody ‘who bas read it. The dignity of the Judge—where, oh where was it? A tirade of abuse; a sammary of every accusation that had ever been launched against the Mormons. True these accusations might be; ‘but the very fact that he travelled out of bis prescribed duties to reach the Mormons with them could (to nothing elee than confirm the prejudices of the community his course. [is court soarcely opened, and in enters 3 bundred soldiers jato the same building—a thin board only eparating the Judge and jury from the bayo- nete. Bis reasons for the presence of sotdiers were that there was no cal , and that he might require them fe guard prisonors, like 60 caitle on the prairies, ‘ith the proceedings of the firat week of the court be- fore me I find one, aud only one, noticeable thing— ene hundred and twenty-five persons made declarations of intention to become citizens of the United States; ten reoeiv- edfull papers of citizenship. The third Judgo opened court for a row, ani the telegraphic despatch informs the public that he is likely to get satisfied than his predeces- gore. That’s all. Well, air, what is there in all the startling news from ‘Utah? Bimply, the Judges, their satellites and all who have soy intercst in keeping the army in Utah are rejoicing in something like the pect of a difficulty between the ¢ivil and military chiefs in that Territory. I could, sir, teli you something here, were I at liberty to make pubiic ‘what does not become me to give to that public; enough, however, bas been published by all Utah correspondents to show that an effort has beon maco timo and again to keep Gen. Jobnston and Gov. Cumming apart. The Judges Dave at last sucoceded, it would appear, in bringing diem imto collision. But what have the Mormons to do with that? Nothing whatever. The citizens of Provo, satistied ‘that their righte and liberties as American citizens were menaced by the course of Judge Cradicbaugh, are report- ed t bave sent for Gov. Cumming. His Excellency is ‘tiated that the tr: had no business there, aud asks their withdrawa!. Gen. Jobnston and Gov. Cumming seemingly have different views of their authority; this is ‘af the fogs and fury of the despatch. Finally be assured, sir, that the Mormons are not on the eve of hostilitios; but, sir, it is positively true that the enemies of the Mormons are yery desirous that it should be so. The Gentile paper—~ the Vall+y Tan—is thoroughly dovoted to that work. From. ‘ts first number to the prevent time it has been devoted to atteking the Mormone, their leaders and doctrings. It is published to provoke ‘hostilities; its enormous price of subacription is the evidence that it never was started for any other purpore. Look at Utah matters how you may, ‘and from beginning to end the conviction is forced upon the mind thet the Mormons have given no small evidence of their desire to preserve the peace, im spite of many mptations to the contrary. bs ing ius A NEW YORK MORMON, Ons Washington Correspondence. ‘Wasnixcton, April 23, 1859.

If some method can be Invented by which that consummation can be achievod your New York Senator calculates his success in 1860 would be almost, if not altogether, certain, But there are difficulties im the way. Seward proposes himself as the candidate of the oppo- kition, and his friends are working hard to place him in that position. But the sentiments promulgated in his speech Jast year at Rochester have rather damage Lim with cer- tain portions of the North. His purpose is to smooth down the asperity and the outrageous character of that eseapade, in ordor to concilfate the old whigs and consor- vatives of the Northern States, who have been severely shocked by such revolutionary doctrines, There is also ‘ap opiniun in the South that the elevation of Seward to ‘© the Presidential chair would be the signal for breaking up Union. But duriog hia residence here he is very hospitable to Southern men, takes particular pains to be ‘bland and complaisant to thom, and to smile over these ‘matters at the social board and in the lobbica of ress as morely articles for home consumption and for Ban. eombe, but for no purpose of State or of government. ‘ean be more plausible or insinuating than his artul address, Oniy just piace him in power, and mone woukl be more conservative than he or more eonciliatory to the interests of the South. And after all, there may be more truth in this than most peo- ‘would give the arch egitator credit for. It is frequent- ‘the case that men who ere yery violent in their senti- menta before obtaining cffice, become suddenly paragons of conser vatiem 80 soon as they foci the weight of rospou- sibility resting on their own shoulders. Seward, more- over, in too senaible & man to belicve in abolitionism, ‘whatever be may pretend to his followors at the North.

A spring trip to. the Southern States will soon become & fashionable and frequent journey to people in the North- ern States who wish to get rid of the chill March winds and the disagreeable weather peculiar to this season in our northern Jatitade, The Southern States are boing so rapidly covered with # network of railroads spreading in every direction, that they can now be travelled with more comfort in spring than any other part of the country. In the great West or Northwest at this season the winds are cold, raw and disagreeable. In the sum. mer tbat region is too hot, being neither protected from the perpendicular rays of the sun dy the shade of trees, nor fanned by cooling mountain breezes, while in the fal! the atmosphere is too unhealthy for those who travel for pleasure or to recruit an impaired constitution. Bot a journey in the spring through Virginia, North Carolina, South Onrolina, Alabama, Temnessee and Kestucky is the most delightful recreation in the world. In April the sea- son ig much further advanced there than it is in the mid- dle of June in the North. Everything is fresb and blooming and rosy; the air is soft and baimy, and salutary without being oppyeeestve, and mere animal existence is a plea- sure. Green peas, new potatoes, vegetables of every variety and strawberries, with early sbad and other fine fiah, are to be found im abundance and cheap—fresh and eweet, too, nct as they come to New York by steamboat from Charleston aod Savannah, the vegetable productions wilted, and the fish rendered soft and flabby, while the prive is extremely high. All the senses are gratified in the highest degree,and even the imagination finds new sources of pleasure. The railroads, opening in every direction, carry their passengers through beautifal and picturesque mountain ranges from which pure and in- vigorating breexes bear healing on tucir wings. In this spring journey a small party reached Charleston in the beginning of April, in oue of the etcamers from New York—the James Adger, Captain Adams, a most obliging and gentlemanly man, one of the old school, with whom it is a pleasure to travel. Charleston is = very beautiful city; it is the commercial capital of South Carolina—but it is only a second rate town and Seaport in every point of view. The last time some of us gaw it was thirty-seven years ago, and there is not a Great deal of difference between it uow and then, As we passed the vorner of King and Queen streets, our eye met the identical old shantee in which we had seen beer sold in 1822, and we now pointed it out to our friends; it was unaltered, and the same in every respect ag it was thirty- seven years ago. The Battery and some of the atreets are improved, but the principal thoroughfares—Hast Bay and King etreets—are the same to-day as before. There are some very good hotels there—tho only good ones to be found south of Richmond; for in point of hotels the Southern country, in the interior, appears to be in the Dark Ages, and to have made no pro- grease whatever in tbe culinary art; with the exception of the articles of rice aud hominy, nothing is cooked proper- ly. With all the finest materials for food at hand in groat abundance, there is no capacity for preparing them for the table—no genius of the kitchen, Everything is en- trusted to the negroes, who have no skill in the cooking of anything except the piainest and most common articles: ‘The claret and other wines at the Mills House in Charles- ton are excellont, superior to any to be tound in New York, owing no doubt to the genia! climate and even tem- perature. The cold of the North renders light wines sour and acrid. Fro Charleston we proceeded to Columbia, the politi- cal capital of the State, lying 120 miles to the northwest. ‘The railroads aro good, and the speed was from eighteen to twenty miles an hour. Columbia is oe of the most beautiful towns it the South, being situated in a high, Tolling region, on the eastern banic of the Congaree river, immediately below the junction of the Broad and Saluda rivers, which, united, form the Gongarce. The land risoe gradually from the river, which at that point rans through ® plain of two or three miles in extent, from which the ground slopes on every side, On this plain the town is built, and it commands @ most extensive prospect. The streets aro exceedingly wide and spacious (fally 100 fect) and the number of beautiful aud blusbing gardens, highly guitivated wud with every variety of exquisite and gor. | goous flowers, is truly astonishiig, Hore many gems of rare beauty are uative to the soil and thrive in the open air which in the climate of New York or further north could only be kept alive in the groenhouge. The same re- mark applies to the forms of the treos and to the hues of their glorious foliage. Tere is nothing like them at the North. Among the owners of fine gardens here is Mr. Wade Hampton, who bas @ plantation gome miles down the river. To his town house in Columbia ia attached a beautiful garden in the French style. area great number of other splendid garden! altogether the place is one of the most in which a party of travellers, who have leisure and know how to amuse themsolyes, could spond a few days, In Columbia is now being erected a maguificent State House of large dimensions, romewhat in the style of the Capitol at Washington. Tue work is superintended by an accomplished architect from Vienas, whose name we forget. When finished, it will be one of the most beauti- ful and classical buildings in the Southern States. The material of which it is constructed deserves particular notice. It consiets of very fine, ‘ight gray granite, found in Immeuge blocks at three miloz distance in the bed of the Congaree river. We made a visit to the quarry, which is a curiosity in itelf, and was shown us by the polite architect. Here blocks of one hun- dred (ons weight, without a vein, are taken out and transported by mules, on a railroad constructed for the purpose, to the riging edifice in the contre of the town, which is supported by several hundred pilasters of this beantifal granite, which have a very striking and fine efect, The smaller piliasters for the windows aro turned like wood, m a machine like a lathe, which we believe has never been done before in the case of granite. The Jarge blocks are quarried without blasting, they are cut to apy size required, and split through vy means of wedges, In procees of time every new building in Columbia will be constructed of this stone, which is ner than any in the Northern States, oapable of 8 polish as smooth as merbie, while it is as hard as apy other granite. From Columbia we might have travelled by rail- road 0 Nashvilie and thence to Richmond through the Great Valley, which is a most picturesque and pleasent route in the spring. The lines of the rail- roads wm the Northern States, except the Erie, are far outstripped by those in the South in the beauty and variety of the seenery, and in the winding of the valleys and mountain gorges, the roads crossing and reorogsing the Allegbanies, and somotimes running along the edges, commanding panoramic views of the plains and yal. loys below. The Southern railroads have very little foreign travel, and none of the fashion- Purposs of amusement, The Teagon is that the mountain ranges of the Southern States are hot known to the people of the North, for they pre gent more charming views than any section of the country north of the Alleghanies can afford. Wo might have come back, as wo have just gaid, by Nashville and Richmond or we might have proceeded by way of Louisville and through the teeming fruitful valley of the Ohio. There fare, in fact, three or four routes round to Now York, al equally interesting. There i# a line of railroad from Nashville to Kentucky, which is not yet complote, but it will be in a year or two, and then that route will be both oany and desiradie, ‘Wo should mention that in the South are to be forind some of the ablest medical men fu the cauniry, In Co- lumbia we mot very anexpectodly an excellent aad highly accomplished physician—Dr. Fair; a well bred and poe | Nahed gentioman, who has made the tour of Nurope. ie was educated is, ané thoroughly knows Uis profes: @ion, During v here one of ove party had ooeasios (0 consult him for an ailment of some standing, and do rived more Venefit from his troatawul then from that of tome of tise Hest physicians of Kurope and of the Vatted States. We thought ite pity toseo » geutloman of snch } talent avd refinement, who would be an ornament to his Profession in London, Paria or New York, buried here in the obesurity of an miand town of South Carolina, with ten or twelve thongan! inhvhitan’s, and with Kittie bu the grest natural Desuty of ihe piece to recoumend i. From Columbia we took the railroad to Charlotte, pass. ing through a beautiful undulating country, and crossing several rivers, which diversified the aver-shifting scenery. Charlotte is a handsome, though smal! torn, in the famious gold district of North Carolina, where there is = branch of the United States Mint, superintended by-a gen- tleman of scientific attainments, Dr. Gibbons, of Philadel phia. According to reliable accounts furnished this gold region is superior to any district in Oslifornia or Pike’s Peak. The difficulty with it is that 1% is owned by Incrviduala, and they are ignorant of the value of the pro perty, and dreadfully afraid of being cheated. Thore is one old fe) mer there who owns part of the richest portion,of it, He ploughs it every now and then, when he wants a nug get. Sometimes he turng up one worth $50, sometimes one worth $19@, and sometimes one worth as much a; $200, He lives mizerably on this till his meeeenities again drive him to the plough in quest of another piece of the shining metal, A great many capitalists made bim splendid offers if he would permit them to mine on his emall property, but he invariably refused, preferring to live the life of the dog in the manger on a farm of eighty or one hundred Acres of land, which contains gold worth ten millions of dollars, but which he will neither work himself nor per- mit others to work, while he lives in abject poverty all the time. The proceeds of the mines at Charlotte last year amounted to over half a million of dollars, and the gold was coined at the branch mint there. But it would easily yield, undor energetic enterprise, ten or twenty millions. It fs the richest gold rogion on this sido of the Alleghanies, and far superior to that of Pike’s Peak, about which so much no'ss is made, A gentleman named Andrews, a doctor, of Charlotte, has in his poeseagion wonderful epecimens of the gold of this district. He is agreat enthu- siact on the subject, and possesses more inforination in re- lation to it than any other person wo met. If the farmers in the gold district of Charlotte would give the same privileges to diggers aa they get in California, soon such an avalanche of adventurers would degcend upon it from the North as would make it in a ghort time one of the most rising aud important places in the South, while the whole State would be improved beyond conception. From Charlotie we proceeded by failroad to Raleigh, the capital cf North Carolina, and thence to Weldon, in the same Btate, a new town on tho Roanoke river, where three or four railroads meet. This must soon prove a growing place. The Roanoke at this point is capable of contributing ® vastamount of water power and favilities for every species of manufacture. Indeed, in wearly all the Southern towns the water power is immense; but the application of it is very small compared with what we witness in the Northern States, The want of active capital and men of enterprise stands as an obstacle for the present in the way of advancement in maunfactures. Bat it is only a questign of time. The day will come when the mighty power to which nature invites the art of man, and which might turn the machinery of the world, but which now flows idly by in wasteful profusion, will be applied to thousands and tens of thousands of wheels; and then the latent resources of the South will be devsloped to an ex- tent beyond the wildest dreams of her sons. As far South as Raleigh on one line of railroad, and as Charleston and Savannah on another, we found the Hexawy for sale by newsboys, price one shilling. It was the only Northern daily paper we saw. In the South they are not so active in pushing business or #0 rapid in their movements asin tho North, the West and Northwest. At Chicago and Louisville the Array is told in great quantities, and all over that Western region. But in a fow years more it will be found all along the railroad ines of the South, which are now opening im every direction, and traversing all its vast territory, ‘We had only time to stay a few days in any one placo, but we saw enough to satiefy us that the region through which wo travelled is one of the most delightful spring Pleasure trips for a few weeks that can be enjoyed on any part of this continent, The best time to return to New York is abont the 1st of May, when the weather becomes feitied and genial, and rather more pleasant to Northern people than the now very warm atmosphere of the sumy South, The Labor Movement.

Bxrortep Ovrracer ww Havana.—It has been reported ‘that while the Moses Taylor laid at Havana, on the 2ist instant, several of hor officers were arrested while re- turning to the vessel from the shore. It appears that ‘William. Osborne, chief engineer, Charles Satterly, purser, K. G. Berford aad Henry Mott, had been on shore to wit- negs the religious carnival of holy week. While the pro- cession was passing, one of the party being commanded to take his hat off by a man whose appearance did not warrant such an assumption of power, had it kuocked off; but there the matter appeared to end. However, as they were returning to their ship, betweon nine and ten P, M., in a chore boat, they were arrested, and taken on board a Spanish frigate. As none of the mon from tho Moses Taylor could speak or understand the Spanish language, they have no idea of the reason of their arrest; but on making themeelves understood that they belonged to the Moses ‘Taylor, they wore invited to drink, and were then carried to their own veesel in the [rigate’s boat. Mr. Porter, of Carthagena, a passenger, who understands the Spanish language, volunteered to ascertain the reason of ‘80 peculiar a proceeding on the part of the frigate, but the captain could not allow the steamer to bo detained any longer. His opinion is, that the frigate’s commander sus- pected there was something wrong when he saw a shore Donat making for the steayer so late in the evening, That opinion is supported by the fact, that immediately their truo choracter waa ascertained they wore courteously treated and returned to their own vessel.

Adout the middle of June we may expect to see ais- embark in our port the Commissioners appointed by the Emperor of Jupan to exchange the ratification of the American treaty. The antecedents of these functionaries induce the belief that we ehall dud them well educated ‘and intelligent men, who will be able to comprehend and sppreciate all that they see bere, Their names are, Nogaal Genba-No Kami, Governor of Accounta and Minis ter of the Navy, and Twa Say-Higo-No Kami, Imperial Inspector.

This official wag also one of the commissioners employed to negotiate the last trea- ties.

A. W. Habersham, of the United States pavy. They are dashed off in that frank, careless and off hand style pecu- Mar to sailora, but they present unmistakable evidence of truthfulness, In view of the interest which has been ex- cited by the expected arrival on oar shores of tho Ja panese Commissioners, we are induced to reproluce a few of the opinions contained in this work. Of the power and infinence of the United Statez, Leut. Habereham says that the Japanese cntersain a very ex- alted idea. They have « notion that the whole Western Continent belongs to us, and that we have only to signify our wishes to the Earopean nations to compe! the latter to keep the peace. Of course impressions such as these are execedingly fayorable to our infiaence in Jeddo, and will enable us toefivct any commercial objects that we may have in view in addition to those already attained. Of tho honesty of the Japanese, asa perple, Lieut. Haber* sham has no very high opinion. Le says that they are, commercially and politically, the most dishonest and un- trustworthy people in the world, and that a good filibuster drubbing is the only thing that will ever introdace them to a knowledge of fair dealing. “I'ne great bugboar of the government is the fear of a foreign war, They are well aware of those which the English waged so suczesefully against the Chinese, and are neryously afraid of experi- eneing similar treatment at the hands of any nation they may be so unfortunate as to offend. He firmly belioves that they signed the first American treaty as the ‘“Jeaser ‘of two evils;” that they knew exactly what it meant, and that there was a mental reservation on thelr part to re. spect its provisions enly so far as they should be forced, to keep ont of trouble. To the existence of am undercurrent of strong reyolu- tionary feeling amongst this prince ridden people Lieut. Fabertham bears the following curious testimoay. His party haWng in their walks inland been compelled to re- lieve themeelyes of the espionage of the Japanese offisials, by the administration of the argunentum ad podariorem to the perron of ene of them, the following were the com- ments made on the feat by tho delighted plebs: We are yery glad that you kicked him, but bad oue of ue done £0 his hoad would have been cut off. We work and they walk around. We have to give them money to buy food with. ‘We would like very much to know all about you, to buy and eqjl with you, but they won’t let us. ‘We cannot do what the officials do not want us to, &e. Of the natnral intelligence and quickness of the Ja- panete Licut. Habersbam gives us many proofs. The following aneedote will, we think, show that bis judgment ie tounded on correct premises. He saw a child who jearped to count as high as ten in az many minutes, and the next day he found bim ou the sandy beach with a therp eticky wet ownten ne was trmemg 1, 2, 3, &s., as readily and of aceurately at many thick-headed school- boys after a month of daily drabbinge, He held in bis left hand a slip of paper, on which the Lieutenant had written him the numbers on the previous evening, and recognizing him as goon as the latter epproached, he made signs that he had no longer any vse for thoee, and wanted him to put down fome more, Our author looked in admiration at his childish fratae and dright sparkling dyes, and begaa Lo conceive ® hich ‘2eq of Japanese braing. He and his young friend seated themselves on a piece of ship timber, and he wrote him down the numbers, ad infinigom, which he had no sooner receives, (the lead pencil being added, to his great delight), than he commenced counting on bis fingers as high as each number, when, as the head was bent in assent, he put the Japanese character opposite to cach, and the whole bolug translated in that way, he emoocthed off a place on the beach and went to work with his sharp stick end a will that caused Lieut. Habersham to look back to hig own truant playing days and blush. This sharpness in figures of course found a pra i demonstration in the Japanese stores. Lieutenant Ha. versham says that, not satisfied with exhausting the purses of himeel’ and party, the shopkeepers would hold up their wares before them and tempt them to bonrd the shrinking purser, ustil the Ameri cans ually ‘ound themselyes overbead and care in debt. They would watch them with “ crickets’ eyes’’ whilo they examined their various articles, judge with as_ toniehing accuracy as to those with which they seemed most struck, and the noxt day all similar articles would be advanced in price, sometimes as much asa hundred por cent, They would take the tallies off at night and put on others with bigher marks on them, and then insist’ with their usual barefaced disregard for truth, that they were all the same as the day before. ‘The feather work of the Mexicans has always been ad- mired for its extraordinary ingenuity. Lieutenant Haber- ebam tells us that the Japanese are equal adepts at it. One object, an artificial bird—an ordinary chicken hawk— was, he cays, one of the moet naturally executed things he bad ever seen. No feather work specimen of RioJa™ neiro, Madeira, Mexico, or any other part{of tue world’ ever excelled it. The bird sat upon an ivory perch, to which he was secured vy a chain of the same material» and was invariably, when first_scen, taken for a live bird. Good roadside entertainment and a companionable Boui- face are to be met with in Japan as well as in other coun- ties. Cur author describes one publisan with whom he came in contact who might have been taken for the keeper ofa New England hostelry, He wag a fine looking old man» with ap upright frame, an expansive forehead, a mild blue eye, and a general cast of features that partook as much ne Caucasian as of the Mongolian type. He reeciyod je strange visiters without the slightest hositation of manner—in faer, with polite self-possession—and drow them off several cops of aki from one of his numerous hogeboads. He alsocadied bis wife and daughters to see the ‘‘Amelicans,’’ and they approached without the usual signs of distrust, smiling good humoredly, and giving utterance to several connected words, which, judging from the morning complimeuts usually indulged in by ladies of our own land, they concluded had some vearing “upon the general state of the weather, and upon | the heat of their walk in particular.” | Of she importance of the clause in tho last treaty re | moving the prowibition om the export of the precious me- | tale,an opinion may be formed from the fact that silver jas a much higher value than gold in the Japanese cur- | rency. A Japanese gold piece valued at four isabu weighs adout as mach as one of our quarter cagles; hence if an article is marked §2 50 in a Japanese store, and paid for with a quarter eagle, the gold received would only be cqual to four i#tabu; but were it paid for in silver, this jatter would be equal to seven and three quartors iteabu or nearly double. Lieut, Habersham tried to arrive at an explanation of the reason of this anomalous difference, hut the only one he could get was, that one was as hard to dig a8 the other-which of course was morely a clumsy evasion of the question, Of the alloged depravity of the Japanese ws have Liou tenant Babersbam’s indirect testimony—and that of a sailor on such a point oughtto be conclusive—that the charge has had its origin merely in the difference of ideas and customs which prevail betweon thom and foreigners, Tt is trae that the women bathe promiseaously with the opposite cx in the pabils baths beeanso tholr prtwitire notions recogni But ia practical morality thoy dofnot seem to be de‘lotent, So far as th acto are concernod, he gays the Japance wouen are per harm in a9 doing. ir LE SHEET. fectly correct in their intercourse with strargers, which is more than can be said of the Chinese, who, whilet they place a barrier between the sexes in public }, and preserve gn outward show of modesty, are in reality unchaste. ‘The complicated ingenuity of tte depotirm by which the, Japaneze are kept in subjection to telr :ulers re- minds one of some of the Eurorean sytto@. In the opinion of Lieutenant Habershaw, Japan ia worse than Jesuistical Rome or iron heeled Austria, as far as her Police department is concerned.

ANGIOLINA BOSIO. This charming ginger, #0 well and widely known in the United Staten, died at St. Petersburg on the 12th of April ‘The St. Pevereburg correspondent of Le Nurd (April )) sonoauced the return of the prima donn» from Moseow and stated that she was then very ill with influenza. The next news was that of her death, telegraphed to Lon don, where she was engaged (at Covent Garden}, on the Mth. Here the news created a profound seusation Bosio bad been for several seasons thejleading favorite ip Mr. Gye’s company, and was adored by the habitus, who are ag loyal to an artiat that they once atmtre as to their govereign lady. Angiolina Bosio was born a poor girl at Turlo, about 1824. She studied at Milan under maestro (Cattaneo, and sung first in 1843 at a concert given by Mr. Strakosch. She made her operatic debut at the age of niaeteen (July 1844), in Verdi’s “I Duo Foseari.’’ She sung afterwards at Verona, and several other Italian cities, going the usual round of a young vocalist. Her first sensation seems to have been made at Copenhagen, where she was tendered tn engagement for six yeare, but did not accept it, and went to Madrid, where, we believe, she was married to Greck, named Xindayelonis. From Madrid ebe went to Paris, and was engaged for the Italions in the season of 1848-9; but we are under the impression that she did not sug there, or at least, if she did, made any particular sen. tation. The credit of discovering Bosio’e talent was reserved for the stupid Yankees, who, according to Huropean an thorities, arc barbarians in art matters. Jn Paris was at this time Marty, a wealthy Havavese, who amused bimself with the Opera, and paid pretty wel! for the privilege. he troupe which he selected that year was very large and very good. It included three prime donne—Bosio, Steffenone and Tedesco; contraito, Vietti; three tenors—Saivi, Bettini, Lorini; two baritones, Badiali apd Corradi Setti; bese!, Marini and Coletti; con ductors, Bottegini and Arditi, This great company, afior he Havana zeason, came (June, 1850), to York, and sung at Castle Garden at fifty cents admission. The gensation was extended, but not equal to the merit of the artists, Steffenone and Tedesco had the mublic ear eimply becange Bosio, a thin, high soprano voice (we are epeaking of public opinion), could hardly in duce any one to hear ber. In Boston she made, however, en immense succet The writer recalis with pleasure her exquisite singing of the Macbeth Brindisi, which made such # furore as iu the course of a somewhat extended experience he has rarely seen equalled. In Lucia, which she sung with Salvi and Badiali, the scene was repeated. Sents were gold at auction, and the promiune ran as high as $18 50 for one seat. The Bostonians had discovered a pure soprano siogato voice with the most exquisite execu- tion auda poetic torvor rafely experienced. Renrning to New York, Bosio reappeared at Castie Garden, and eung Lucia for ber benefit to five thousand pergone. The next acason the company was engaged by Maretzck, all the priccipals being retained. But frog some inter disrensions hardly necessary to deseribe, there was a mutiny, and a portion of the artisie—Bosio, De Vrics, Bettini, Lorini, Badiali and Coletti—formed an artists? vniou, aud opened Niblo’s Garden. The allair very soon @ about a month) broke up, and Bosio returned to rope. Her successes in Paris, London amd &t. Petersburg, between which cities sho bas divided ber time during the Inst five years, have beon regularly recorded in. the Hxnraip. Bosio’ belonged reaily to the American public, which was the first to recognieo her merit. If her re. Ward was not equal to that merit, it wos because of mat. ters in which the public had no hand. Her great suc- cesses since her visit to this country, were Gilda ia “Rigo- foto?” Zorlina in ira Diavola;) Vialatiain the Traviata.’ and Martha. In the lighter operas her facility of exceution, her wonderful car (we have beard that she sang alto gether by it, vot knowing anything of the science of music, aud being unable to readjpure notes), and her delleate quality of voice, made her the rst of European prima donnas. She wag paid and potted I'ke a princes: The writer of this sketch last heard Mme. Bosio in Londen, ia 1857, in the Italian version of “Fra Diavoto.’* Nothing could be more charming than ber singing of Zerlina’e wusic. In concluding @ notice of Bosio’s death a London paper enys:— St. Petersburg, where Madame Bosio received more applause from the public, and morg distinguish +i . tions from the ecurt, (Ha any vocalist who evar visited the Russian capital, the news of her déath wil! prodvce the saddest effect. In lees than two years the Sc Petors. burg company has lost its two most digtinguished mon- bers, who in their reepective lines were the greatest ar- tiste in the world. On the occasion of the Caar’s corona- tion at Moscow, the incomparabio duet in the second act of the “ Elixir’ was sung by Madame Bosio and La- Dbiache—* T panied by the Lion'’—and to such perfection that, notwithstanding the well-known rule which forbids applause in the presence of the Emperor, the wudience were quite unable to restrain their en- thiagm. The names of those singers belong now to the hietory of the Italian Opera, and Angiolina Bosio takes ravk in the annals of the paet with the impassioned Pasta, the brilliantly cold Sontag, but, above all, with the terder, sensitive Malibran, who, like her, was cut off in the prime of life and in the fulness of her genius LADY MORGAN. The death of Lady Morgan is annotinced in the London nowspepers received by the last mails, and the fact was cbron'cled in yesterday’s Henatp. The two most remark- able women in the British dominions during the last cen- tury were the Countess of Blessington and Lady Morgan— both natives of Ireland, and both sprung, not as their titles would seom to indicate, from the nobility, but from the people. Both of humble birth, they won for them- relves tigh position end literary distinction, Lady Blecsington, who died in 1849, was the daughter of Ed- mound lower, a farmer in the county of Tipperary. She was a woman of dazzling beauty and great spirit, and firet married a captain in the British army, after whose death che married the Earl of Blessington, and became the most celebrated woman of her day for her beanty, her accomplishments, and her fascinating powers of conversation. The wits, the rank and fashion, including the nobility of England, met other literary and artistic circles at Seamcre place and Gore House—which ‘were tho greatest centres of attraction in Loniton society about twenty-five years ago—cclipsing even the rival salons of Lady Holland and the reunions of the Countess of Charleville. Her principal worke were ‘(Conversations with Lord Byron,” and the “Idler in Italy,” both charm” ng bocks, but giving only faint shadows of the mental giits and graces of this lovely woman. Lady Morgan moved in a somewhat different sphere; she met with many literary people, and mingled occasionally im fashionable society, but seldom in the very highest circles. She was cousidered ‘by many coarse to the very Jast,and as never having risen above the vulgarity which is said to have surrounded her birth and early history. She was undoubtedly a woman of masculine character and disposition, being what ig called one of the “strong minded.” But large allow ance must be made for the spirit of party, for never per haps was any wornan soassailed in print before. From the beginning she espoused the liberal side in politics, inter- weaving them with all her works of fiction, This brought down upon her head the vengeance of partisan writers in acountry and ata time in which there was little candor or moderation on eithor side. The Quarterly Renew, Blackweod's Magazine, and other periodicals of the same stamp, disgraced the name of criticism by their attacks But she had plenty of pluck, and merit too, and could not be written down. She was deficient in taste and delicacy, but there can be no doubt that she rendered great service | to the party to which she belonged. By their organs sie was praised as extravagantly as she was consured by Liose of the opposite side. She was ominently a self made, self educated woman, who fought her way to distinction amidst raillery, earcasm and vituperation, and plumed herself on degpiting public opinion.
