' Sax Francisco, Jane 2, 1866. ome weeks ago, on the arrival of the Hon, Anson Bur'ingame, on bis way to his post at Pekin, the Chinese ‘merchants of San Francisco determined to give hima dinner aftor the true Celestial custom. For a variety of ‘easons they proposed to defer it until a day or two be- fore the sailing of the ship that was to convey the Min- ister aud suite to their destination, making it, if possi- ‘blo, on the evening before the departure. The Swallow, ‘with bor-ambassadorial freight on board, is to leave port om Monday next, and as neither Saturday nor Sunday is ‘supposed to be the proper day for dining out the great ‘festival waa fixed for last night. The preparations for ‘the feast have been quite elaborate, and required several “days for completion; so that notice was given at the res- taurant garly tn the wees that company might be ex- pected on Friday, Juno 1. INVITATIONS -« to tha following effect were distributed :— Sax Fraxcwco, May 29, 1° Diz Sin—The undersigned request the pleasure of Pei at a dinner to be given to the Hon.

T noticed that they were nearly as awkward with those things as were the Americans with the chop sticks. “How tse doth breed a habit in a man.” ‘THs COOKERY, ‘The roast chicken was good, though there was too much oft used in its preparation te suit the stomachs of most Americans, The second dish (fried oysters) was excellent, and most of the guests allowed thomsel vos to be helped a second time. oysters were of California production and fried ‘in batter,” very much as they might be fried at a New York restaurant, Sharks’ fin, the third diab, was toothsome to an extent that agreeably disappointed tho novices, and the comments upon it by those aroond me were highly eulogistic. | canuot say positively how it was cooked, bat suppose it had been boiled till very tender and then fried with eggs. Up to the present me I have always entertained a prejudice against tne shark, on account of bis interfering with my bathing amusements while at a certain place by the sea side, Having ecaton of his fins forgive him all his evil intentions toward me, and will henceforth declare that I love him as &® trae Feejeean loves an English missionary.

Speaking for my- seif, I can say there was too much oily substauce in this, as ia many of the dishes, to allow me to enjoy it. T fancy that a native of the ‘hog and hominy" portions of Awerica might find Chinese cooking to his taste, and I know that some of the guests last evening were well pleased with the vary feature that failed to satisfy my- self. You know the Latin adage, ‘de gustibus,”’ ke. CT L know of no better place to prove its truth than at a Chinese dinner, = DINNER: CUSTOMS, Atter roast pig, which was simply roast pig cut up li the chicken, and washed down with claret and cha pagne, which were furnished in abundance throughout the dinner, we were supplied with cigars and requested to leave the tables, that they might be prepared for the second course. alf hour was passed in the smoking room, and we were then summoned below, Thig custom of un intermission in the course of a meal tor the pn pose of smoking and aiding digestion is purely Oriental, end, far from pal, though a fancy, the Americans will not be likely to adopt it, as it savor: too much of deliberation to suit our fast age and people. BIRD Nxst sour. The second course opened with the famous bird nest ‘soup. whict I found quite patatable, though not as deli- cious as it is described by some of the gacats, The pli nous matter which comes from the bird nests is lik a hard jelly, and with the other its of the dish made¢ a very good eoup.
