Our Chinese Correspondence. The telegraphic letters from our special cor- eapondent at Shingbae, which we published esterday, gave an inte-esting detailed account f the appoin‘ment of M-. Anson Burlingame, merican Minis‘er at te Court of China, as an bassador Plen potentiary to all those gov- ronments that have commercial or political eaties with the Chinese empire, describing Iso his suite, his d»pirture from Pekin, ac- ompanied by the wo'e body of foreign min- ters and by the bch officiils of the Chinese Yourt, and the tbrilling incidents of his jour- ey to Tienisin. These letters fo-m the initial page of an alto- ther novel chap‘er in the history of the vast ancient empire of China, The announce- ment which we recen'ly made of Mr. Burlin- ame's extraordin» y mission from the Flowery ingdom to the outside world was more start- Qing and far more impor'ant than the first news ‘@espatch which we received by the Atlantic folegraph on th: 25h of August, 1858, pro- claiming that pea-e hal been concluded with China; for it on one d a peaceful victory jwhich American influence bas won on that dis- Aan! field. The future consequences of this victory are almo-t mvalculatle. Alréady, as thas been truly remirked, the United States nd Russia, so fur as regards the peaceful and rofiiable intercourse wiih China, bave ob- ined the greate t a!vantages from the com- ‘plications of the war of 1857-8, and at he smallest risks. It is a significant fact that according 'o the first clause of the htreaty signed at Ti n sin in 1858 China bas con- beidorea the United Sta’es as pledged to secure ustice and ami'y in cases of future collision ith o'her foro'gn Powers, And this is as- signed by our corre:ponlent as one reason which determined the selection of the Ameri- ‘can Minister as the envoy of the Chinese gov- ‘ernment. Obviously, and aside from the per- onal esteem in which he was held, Mr. Bur- ingame bas occupied, in the eyes of the Chi- tese Court, the posit on of the foremost diplo- ‘matic representativ gat P-kin—the representa- \ivo ofthe Power with which China had con- Aracted the closest alliance. It is, therefore, mot surprising that he should have been nomi- Maicd for bis unprecedented mission in the Amporial decree wiich created it. » There ix neverthcless something startling end almo-t incredivle in the spectacle which As thus presented by the sudden miraculous Wownfall of the great Chinese wall of exclu- biveness, and by the unexpected request of the ‘oldest empire in the world to be formally in- troduced by the youngest to the family of ‘ations. Nor is it the least peculiarity of this ‘wonderful event that it nas occurred under the wegency of a woman. It is an Empress that ‘has signed this strange imperial decree in the ‘name of her son, a boy only ten years of age, ‘but the lineal successor of a mythically long line of sovereigns—a line “running back into times deemed prehistoric by nearly every other race.” No race can boast of greater an- tiquity, and, whit is more, of earlier remarkable developments in civilization Khan the Chinese. The pyramids of Egypt e@re antedated by public works still standing, which were erected to shut in ‘the Yellow river of China and reclaim its ameadows from devastation, when, as a recent writer observes, “ihe Hebrews were wearily ‘wandering through the desert in search of their promised land.” The same writer felicitously Sllusirates the antiquity of China by saying:— «When not a single Germanic tribe bad learned to read and write China had entered upon her tmodern era. When potty Roman chiets, whose ‘very existence is doubted by the historical ‘criticism of our day, were brawling in an ob- scure Italian village, the representative man of China was casting in a form which should endure forever the gradually elaborated wis- dom of numberless generations of his ancestors. When the Grecks, happily settled near to the homes of older systems of culture, were only preparing the way tor that glorious career on which they later entered, the Chinese state had already become, in the main, what it is now.” Every schoolboy knows that the Chinese origi- mated the manufacture of silk and porcelain, invented the compass, gunpowder and the art of printing, and, in fact, anticipaced almost every so-called modern invention except the steam engine and the telegraph. They have perfected many processes of agriculture, their cookery ihas been pronounced next to the French and superior to the English, and they have carried administrative government to such a degree that our radical Congressmen in their bungling efforts to rule the unrepresented States of the South might learn much from the Tsung-tus, or Governor Generals, of the Chinese provinces. Im short, crystallized as their civilization has so long remained, it attained its present @evelopment ages before the nations of Western pe had emerged from barbarism. Yet we behold China to-day stretching forth ber hand in friendly recognition to a nition (Which bas arisen on a continent discovered less than four hundred years ago, the youngest nation on the globe, but, in her opinion, the most vigorous and destined to be the most powerful. American influence has for the first time effectually opeved China to the world, and ere long it must be diffused throughout that immonse and populous empire in innumerable ways, The marvellous imitative faculty of the Chinese will enable them to adopt readily our latest inventions, the germs of which they themselves have Jong possessed. Our steamers and fire engines, our sewing machines and egricultural implements, our cotton gins and our cottons, our printing presses and our tele- gtaphs—in fine, all our practical applications of science will sooner or later be introduced throughout the Flowery Land. American commerce will take the lead of the commerce of other nations in the Chinese ports and markets, It has already marked out a new highway of trade and is rapidly changing its course. It is now found that Columbus was wiser than he knew in pointing towards undis- covered America for the shortest route to the East. New York must henceforth be the re- celving point and San Francisco the dietribut- ing point for European exports to the Kast, as San Francisco will be the receiving point and NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1568.—TRIPLE SHEET. New York the distributing point for the exports of Chin), Japan, the Indies, and, in due time, even Australia, The approaching completion of the Pacific Railroad will expedite the tran- sit of passengers and traffic scross our Conti- nent, according to this revolutionized state of things. It will, moreover, tend to develop enormously the already large Chinese immi- gration to this country—an immigration which may yet impart fertility and wealth to our great American desert, The destinies of the whole world must be affected by the political revolu- tion in the Celestial empire, which has made an American minister to Pekin the chosen representative of China to the United States and Europe. Ecclesiastical Strategy—The Kev. Mr. Tyng and the Canons Agn' As will be scen by reference to another column, the Rev. Dr. Tyng, the senior of the exceedingly original junior, has taken up the cudgels in defence of that young gentleman and his cleverness in setting at naught the canons ; while, meintime, the reverend judges plod doggedly on in the investigation of that which really needs no investigation. The manifesto of the elder Tyng is to the effect that the ecclesiastical action at present going on is m the highest degree illiberal ; in other words, that while canons may be very excellent for clergymen in general they ure by no means applicible to the Rev. Stephen H. Tyng, Jr., and ought not to be permitted to work harm to his clerical standing and in- fluence—a proposi.ion which w» have aiready substantially demonstrated on the ground of the young gen.leman’s exceedingly original turn oi mind. No arsument need be wasted, therefore, in connection with the justice of the question, though this heaping of affidavit upon affidavit to prove thit which is admitted seems to us very l:ke re soning ina circle. The aim of the court—and we hereby declare our re- spect for the delicacy of tie reverend judges— seems to be not to convict if conviction can be avoided. Se-ing, as in a glass darkly, that: canons are not exactly in accordance with the culture of the age, they are naturally impressed with the absurdity of attempting their applica- tion. To be sure, canons in the abstract are very necessary things, but canons in their application—that is exactly what the reverend gentlemen object to. Canons must be entorced or they are no canons; and again, canons must not be enforced to the detriment and scandal of Episcopacy in America; and how to enforce the canons and yet leave them unenforced i3 a sort of penny puzzle to the prosecution. It might be con- strued as illiberal to censure or suspend, and even then the young gentleman might refuse to be suspended. He mizht carry off his parish with him, moreover—and it is very difficult to suspend a whole parish. This is the problem that vexes; for though the judges are no doubt willing to spare the clergyman trom the Epis- copacy, they are not quite eo willing to spare the parish also. To our mind there is but one way of eluding the dilemma. The judges must have recourse to the works of a curious old logician, in which he explains the best manner of proving that “that which is, isnot, and that which is not, is.” By these means they will be able to enforce the canons and not enforce them at the same time—a quirk of ecclesiastical gymnas- tics which will satisfy all parties. Operatic and Dramatic Progress in New York. The progress of opera and the drama in this city for the past ten years or more is something extraordinary. There are, perhaps, no elements of busy life and advancement peculiar to our society which can show so many evidences of the progressive ideas, the growing tastes and the increased requirements in the matter of recreation which pervade the metropolitan community. A few years ago, comparatively speaking, the theatres were in the possession of an occasional star, flilting now and then across the dramatic horizon. The star was usually supported by @ strolling company, the accidents of the hour. With the exception of Wallack’s, Burton’s, and Mitchell’s Olympic, there were no good stock companies, But all this is changed now. The rule and not the ex- ception is a stock company of fair and some- times of excellent quality, with whom the people become familiar. No matter in what costume the actors may appear, or what character they portray, the public welcome them cordially and are determined to be pleased with them. Let us take Wallack’s at the present time as an example. It has grown to be an institution, because people know that there is a fine taste exercised in the production of plays put upon the stage. The scenery is good and appropriate. In getting up the cos- tumes there is evidence of painstaking in order to preserve the subject of the drama as natu- rally as possible. Everybody knows that the legitimate drama can be found almost always at Wallack’s, and everybody goes there to meet friends of like tasies—to hold, as it were, pleasant reunion. There is not a theatre in London to-day more comfortable or elegant, or more judiciously conducted than our Wal- lack’s. In imitating the English style the management has really succeeded in excel- ling it. We are gradually receding towards our original tastes in the drama. For a while we ran mad after Black-Crookism, and some people pursue the ignis fatuus still in the more atiractive form of the “White Fawn.” But it is true, nevertheless, that although the coat of producing the latter piece may be greater than that of the “Black Crook,” it does not possess the attraction of its prede- cessor. The costumes may have cost a good deal of money—no doubt they did, for they are all of Parisian fabric; but the effects are not so astonishing, because people are more used to them. The whole thing reminds one of .a psrvenu displaying bis diamonds, real or fictitious, as the case may be, the price of which was cheaply earned and the display easily made. Tinsel is, in fact, the prevailing quality of the spectacle at Niblo’s. Now, as to progress in the opera business, ‘we have the addition of a now house, the rival of the catacombs, the slaughterer of the inno- cents, There isnot on this Continent nor— with the exception of Parie—in Europe either so beautiful and periect a theatre as Pike’s Opera House, and if Mr. Pike only exercises a little prudence there may not be any theatre more successful, If he supposes thai the house will run itself on {ts beauty on its own merits he is grievously mistaken. He must give the pu @ first class order of talent ifthe Highth avenue bev institution is to prosper. He must not be excelled by any other manager in the material provided for public patronage. We have come to be of late years a critical and not easily pleased audience, and we will have none but the finest talent in our opera singers. We have sent to Europe nearly half @ score of well educated artists wao command Old World applause ; and a country that can do that should insist upon having imported talent of the first order. We cannot say whether the late quarrels between the Montagues and Capulets of Piks’s Opera House and the Academy were 4 fatal mistake or not; but if Pike will only take warning by tho various troubles which have for many years past afflicted the managers, the stock- holders and the artists of the Academy, he may steer clear between Scylla and Charybdis and furnish us with-what we much require—a good and enduring Italian opera. Thero is a rivalry springing up, too, in the production of the legilimate drama. Booth’s new theatre will naturally en‘er the lists with Wallack’s, and there may be a theatrical war following hard upon the present operatic war. So much the better for the public. It is the duty of » manager to educate the public taste, and if Wallack is occasionally a litile flashy it will be the province of Booth to cor- ret him by the introduction of the severely classical, which, of course, we are supposed to ex;ect at this n-w house.
