MR. CUSHING IN CHINA.
FROM TlIE N. X. THUE SVy. . " From Bombay Mr. Cusuixg proceeded in the Biandywine down" the souihern coast of ludia to Ceylon. At this island he passed a week, and visited the old., native , capital, Kandy, the principal site ol the Biniddists. Tlie island is called by the natives ."the Celestial Paradise," and since the English have obtained an undisputed title, by cession from the native chiefs, it has becoino more than ever flourishing and prosperous. The greatest attention was piid the American Envoy by the principal authorities, and particularly by the Governor, Sir Colin Campbell. A ball was given by the English residents , in honor of their American guests, at the hall of the Consulate. From Ceylon the frigate proceeded by a rouie, called tlie Eastern Passage, south of the Island of Java, by the way of Timor and Amboyna, and so into the Pacific Ocean, thence up to the easivvard of the Island of Luzan to Macao. It wa9 the first time this' passage was ever made by an American man-of-war. At the season of the year when it was accomplished it is the only way to reach China, in consequence of the northeast monsoon. The passage was made very successfully, under- the judicious and prudent directions of the gallant Commodore Parker who cheerfully encountered all the hazards of the rouie in order that the mission might arrive as early as possible in t China. Mr. Cushing resided in that country exactly six months to a day, and during the whole period was constantly engaged in promoting the objects of his mission. By the non-arrival of the St. Louis slorp ol - war, which lay, very singularly, a lotvr time at the Cape, and through the continued obstacle of the northern monsoon, he was under die necessity of remaining at -Macao until the Imperial Ciovetnmunt actually anticipated his movements by despatching a commission to him. It consisted of Tsi Yeng, an' imperial delegate atid plenipotentiary; Wang, treasurer of the two Kwangs; and Pwati Pwan, another high dignitary of State. - Tsi Yeng is a Tartar of the imperial blood, and the same person -whq Negotiated with Sir Henry Pottinger. His name, .we might as well state here, has been erroneously spelled Keying in the English newspapers. This personage seemed to have the lull confidence of his sovereign, as he was appointed, with all the powers of a plenipotentiary, to negotiate with the French and American Legation as soon as they arrived. . ' One very interesiing fact is worthy of notice: no obstacles were placed in the way of Air. ousniug's proceeding s rekrn one great object of former embassies from England. He was told there would be none, but finding the- imperial commission Iiad powerfully to treat with him, he yielded his personal curiosity aridpride, if he entertained any such feelings, to the consideration of his country's interests. He therefore entered at once upon the negotiation so promptly and conveniently offered htm, and was an immense gainer by this considerate course. The Chiuese Commissioners were intelligent and gentlemanly men; they had a retinue of civil and military attendants, and so large was it that it was with great difficulty they could find quarters for them all. Tsi Yeng very Tinceremoniously took possession of an immense temple dedicated to "bur Lady of Mercy," in the village of Wang-Hi-ya, where he kept bis stale. The difficulties of the languages were obviated by ihe frankness and tact of Mr. Cushing in declaring at once the real objects of , his mission, disclaiming any. resort to finesse -or force, and appealing at once to the eood sense and h;gh character of the Chinese ambassadors. These, with equal frankness and confidence, proposed to employ the American interpreters exclusively, aud, by so doing, paid our national character and our national representative the very highest compliment in their power. ' ' " For two- weeks the two Commissions were employed day and night, with the exception of t heir meal-liuies and a few hours given to repose, in discussing and .arranging the various questions in controversy between the two Governments, and in ' negotiating the treaty now before the Senate of the United States. It was at last agreed upon and drawn up in Chinese and English, but finally prepaied in the Tartar dialect, which is the language of the Emperor. '' r It was signed at ten o'clock at night on the 3d of July l ist, in the Sanctuary of the Temple we have already mentioned, and from which, as we have stated In pirt, the priests and their idols had been previously displayed without the slightest hesitation, to make room for the Commissioner and his suite. This circumstance confirms the opinion entertained by many residents in China that, at the Impei ial Court, there is no par ticular regard paid to any religion. - When the treaty - was signed, a . snlendid repast was given in the Temple to the A - mencan Minister. Indeed, during the fortnight of negotiation at Macao,the respective j legations were constantly giving and receiv ing entertainments. At one giveu '- by Mr. Cushing all the American ladies at Macao were present, and the Chinese dignitans, for the first time in their lives, performed the extraordinary duty of handing in foreign ladies to the dinner table, and of paying them the Usual attentions there .. Many ot .the officers of the squadron were also present. The next day Tsi Yeng was taken so ill that he was obliged lo be removed to Canton, and there various other minor questions were afterwards settled by correspondence, and the personal attention of some members of our legation acting Tor the Minister at Micao. , Indeed, from the 4th of July for 'two
months following an official correspondence was kept up unceasingly 111 relation, to mat
ters connected with the negotiation among ! tnese, especially, was that of the personal safety of Americans in China, arising out of the circumstance ,bf a Chinese, one ". of a mob, having been shot by an American in the streets of Canton, while engaged in the popular work of insulting foreigners. Mr. Cushing's account of these various difficulties is in the highest degree graphic and entertaining. ,. . , - "....., ,. j Afier closing his arduous labors, and, as we believe, achieving more 1 for his country by far than Sir Henry Po.ttinger has dons for his, he" left ' Chiua onthe 2dh of ' .August' last in the .United States 1 brig . Perry.. A successful voyage of sixty-five days brought him to San Bias, touching at Mazailan by the way. ; From this place he proceeded -on horseback to Guadainja, a town ' possessing about sixty thousand inhabitants, accompanpanied for a part of ilio way by , a party . of Mexican ofiicers. On his arrival he found himself in. tho midst of a, serious revolution. From "thence to the 'capital he travelled in a diligence, passing the whole way ' through detachments of the hostile armies of Paredes and Santa Anna." ,Not,the slightest obstacle was placed in. their wy, northe sinillest in sult given by any ol Uiese troops. ..-t . OCT-Puuch is no respctor or persons. . He applies his lash - to high and low alike. v In the following extract he "satirizes," with admirable effect, the verbosity, the priggish formality,-and the 'affectation of method,o!kn employed at the bar and on the bench (o conceal real ignorance, or "make a shoW"of profundity. .The wit of the 'charge1' none will relish fnore heartily than lha" lawyers themselves: . . - - ' ' . .-. Puncii's charge to the Jury. Gentlemen of the Jury You are sworn', in all cases, to decide according to Ihe evidence; at Ihe 'same' lime, if you have any doubi, you are bouud to give the prisoner the benefit of it. 'Suppose you have 10 pronounce on the guilt or innocence of a gentleman' accused of felony : You will . naturally doubt whether any gentleman would commit such offences; accordingly, however strong may be the testimony against him, you will, peilups, acquit him. The evidences of your own senses is, at least as creditable a3 that, of thewiinesses; if, therefore, your eyesight convinces you that the prisoner is a weil dressed person, you have a right to presume his respectability ; and it tV for vou to ay --fliether a rpspectuhla person jyoubl he likely to he guilty ot the crimes imputed to him, in like manner wheu you see a shabby-looking fellow in the. dock, charged for example, with hog-stealing, the decission rest with you, first whether or not that individual is a ragamuffin, and, secondly, how far it is to be supposed that a man of that description would steal sheep. Of course, as has been before said, you will always be guided by the evidence; bu t then whether the matter is trustworthy or uot, is a matter for your private consideration You may believe it if you choose, or you may disbelieve it; and whether, gentlemen of the jury, you will believe it or disbelieve it, wdl depend on the constiiuiionofyouf miuds ;ifthey a re so Cons! it uted that you wish to find the prisoner guilty, perhaps you will believe it; jf they happeu to be so constituted that you desire to find him not guil;y, why then, very likely you will disbelieve it. You are to free your minds from all passion aud prejudice, if you. can aud in that case, your judgment will be unbiassed; but if you caunot, you will return a verdict accordingly. It is not, strictly speaking, for you to consider what will be the effect of your verdict; but if such a consideration should occur to you, aad you can not help attending to it, that verdict will be influenced by it to a certain extent. You are probibly aware that when you retire, you will be locked up until you contrivs to agree. You tiny ariive a' uiiatiirniiy by fair discussion, or by some of you starving out the otheis, or by tossing up; and your conclusion, by which ever of Uiese processes arrived at, will be more or less in accoid ince with your oaths. Your verdict may be right; it is to be hoped it will; it may be wrong; it is to be hoped it will not. At all eveuts,gentlemen of the jury, you will come to some conclusion or other, unless it should so happen that you separate without coming to any. (. , . : .... The Sub-Theasuheh in Cistody. We learn from thsBdiimore Am. Republican of Monday, that McNulty, the 'defaulting Clerk of the House of Representatives, had given himself up, and was in custody of the U. S. Marshal of the District of Columbia. If he gets off, as we have but Hltle doubt lie will, with the influence and aid of those who have been concerned with him, he will i "ave mde a fair pecuniary speculation for He had - in his hands 232,000 oue )ei,r of the contingent fund, of the House. . Of this sum, he had been allowed lor expenditures and contingencies, $174,500. The committee have secured $13,000 more, which was on deposite in the Bank of the Metropolis, thus reducing the deficiency to 14,500 dollars. He gave bonds to the amount of 20,000 dollars so that after "the securities shall have paid up their bonds in full, the Clerk will be minus 24,500 doll trs. He had loaned of the fund entrusted to Mm, according to the report, 30,000 dollars to a Mr. Woodward, of Mt- Vernon,!, 700 to the CoIumbu3 Saving3 Institution, and 2,000 dollars to Levi D.

A SCENE At WASHIXGTOX. The following is from a' " correspondent of the
Sun: v "' '' The reported defalcation of the Clerk of the House of. Hepreseutaties of the U. ,S., has created as you may suppose, an intense excitement throughout tin's, metropolis..' I hasten to apprise you of a . thrilling ad venture which took place here this afternoon. and which very neatly hastened the spirit of j one of Xiie parties into eternity. Mr. Thorn-1 as Fenton Owen, a respectable citizen of the "Old Dominion,1-has recently taken that! nue.estaofishment. kDO.vn as the "Potomac Bridge Hotel,1 verynear the. bridge from which it takes its' name. Mr. Benjamin Thorn, .formerly a police officer, was employed a3 bar-keeper.'. Mr. Thorn bad. been absent for a dayor two, and returned this afternoon : on his .. arrival .Mr.. Owen , remarked that already Iia ljud received encouragement iu his new vocation; that two ladies aud two gentlemen ,were, occupying a room in the second story, - Mr. Thoni enquired If they had left their, uhmes at the bar, to which the landlord replied in- the negative, and asked Thoi-n to go up aud get their names, and see that they were comibrtably situatedv Thorn immediately proceeded to their room, when, judge of , his. . astoniishtnent 011. recognizing two prosiitutes sitting in conversation with a man whouj.,lhey called t McNuliyv and an old acquaintance of Thorn's named Banks, lying in a bed. . , " ' .. .,, Tiionv promptly admonished the prostitutes that they were in ihe-"wrong place, and, abandoned as they were, thev quietly and respectfully left the house. . Banks entreated that he should be alliAved to' remain in bed, undisturbed; and," as tbe women had departed, his request was granted- both landlord anv'. barkeeper assuring him lliat. he should not be molested. , McNuliy appeared to be deeply agitated, and walked to and fro across the floor, with a quick pace, as he conversed -with Banks. Mr, Ov en and Mr. Thorn then retiied to .tae bar-room. But a short time had elapsed when McNuliy and Btnkssent down for. Owen lo go to -their rocm. . He obeyed the call, and in a . moment or two-the, report of a pistol summoned Thorn to ihe scene of aciipn. n . At the thteshold of the door, it seems, the pirties attacked ihe landlord, who fired a pistol in defence: one duck shot wa"s , lodged under Banks1 eye -another in bis chin, and three m his breast. .Banks, however; still retained his grasp on Owens' throat, 'which he held until Owens fainted. -. McNuliy retreated, and escaped the moment the pistol was fired. Thorn held Banks in custody for a short period; until .the result of the choking should be' ascertained," when he was permitted to depart, Thorn tendering him every assistance in the way of procuring a physician, &.c. I understand that Banks i3 - not mortally wounded; but, at any rate, both he and his companion have received a lesson uot easily to be forgotten. Thus it is that the fair fame of Washington, and its society, is injured by the, outrages of men whose breath is only equalled by the "pestilence that walketh in darkness." INDIANA COAL MINES. Within a lew years a vein of Coal nearly equal in value to I lie English Cannel, lias ben opened at Ilawesviile, Ky., which exlends under the bed of the Ohio, and is also worked on the Indiana side, opposite. The mine is now chiefly owned by a Company of Bos:on capitalists, who have leased the same (o an energetic agent, one of their members Mr. Hexsy Boyd. . A neat village of GO frame houses has spiuug up on thu Indiana side, called Canncltoa. .where not a house was to be seei. a few years since. A Saw and Grist Mill , is now going up: a Lumber Yard is to be established, which will always be supplied with steam boat arms and buckels as well asl other lumber. Two or three other brandies of manufactures, it is expected will be started the ensuing spriug The pUce enjoys the benefit of a productive school fund, which yields $'3;)0 p r anuum in cash, by which means aTree grammar school is admirably kept up, the average attendance of children being 100, at a very neat frame school house. A , Unitarian Church is to be erected this spring, towards the building of which about CQQ was subscribed by Peter C. Brooks, John D. ' Williams. Rev, Dr. Frothingham, and a few o'.h er individtrals in Boston. Mr. Boyd has closed a contract with the (iovcrnment, for supplying Coal to the U S. Steamers In the Gulf of Mexico, and is , steadily shipping Coal to the Eastern Cities, via New Orleans, thus developing the resources of Indiana and opening a new and importaut trade with the East. , ' - , - We add, with pleasure, that Cannelton is growing up a strong Whig place. It cast about 00 votes at the late Presidential election, of which 150 were for Clay. There is no danger of their relapsing into Locofocoism, so long as their school is well attended.

. .Newspaper Establishments. The following article,, which we find in the Boston Transcripi, gftes 1 some idea of the nature r
of a newspaper establishment, and, although ihe London Times is an extreme case, may " : serve as a warning to those who are so rea dy nbwa-days, Vhh little or no capital, to embark in so responsible and costly an un dertaking;.. ;.; y-. : " . ::' Persons are apt to think that it is an easy matter to establish a paper, and many individuals have tried the experiment to their heart's and their purse's cost.

We have been led to these brief remarks by seeing in a foreign journal, an enumeration of the expenditutesxf the London Times, the largest pa- ' per 111 the world, circulaiing probably the greatest number of cupjes. It is -emphati- ; cally a profitable paper, tooahd this caunot be &aid to any extent of our American jour--nals. - :v .:- ..,:' . ..,-,':' '- The slalemeut to which we Lave alluded, has respect . to the receipts as well as the expenditures, and .commences with the editorial expenses, which amount," weekly to' 35: tlieu follows the salaries of 2 conespuiiden:s,vj 10; Parliamentary reporter?, (20 in number, 5 each per week,) 1 00 ; , scientific, fine arts, and literary reporters, 21; peniiy-a-lineis, (reporters c( the occurrences of 4 he day in London, viz: fires,"murders, curiosities, 60c.,) 21 ; for" extraorciiuary information from atithois of celebrily, per week, 30;" law and police courts'? , reporter (several-in number,) per week, 20 Tha whole of their expenses for lit erary'matter atuotiiils per vreek to 300.

The payment to (iovcrnment for stampsaad advertisement duly is' 35,000. . " , s. Ihe budget of receipts of the same journal is as follows: In the years lSr2'-3, G,"303,000 copies Y were sold per' annum,' amounting to about 125,000, or $000,000 The entire expenditure, wuh the excepiion of the payment to the Government for stamps, &c, amounts to $3G3,000. Ii appears that the annual profits derived from it amount lo $2 10,000, without, ihe profit, derived fiom the advertisements, of which .no account is given, but the average number of each copy of the Times contains from about 700 to 1,000 announcements, 4,000 to 7,000 per week, and annually 203,000 to 3G 1,000 announcements. It has also been calculated that 480,000 typographical letters are used , to each copy on an average, and each such copy, divided into octavo pages, will form a volume of 300 pages, so that the 6,000,000 impressions of the Times annually in circuation would form a I; brary of 6,000,000 volumes in octavo. . The number of letters received per day at the Time3 office amounts upon an- average to 130, making annually as many as 40,000! We .fiud, however, no calculation lor the., time spent in their examination. 1 The Times newspaper is a "gteat fact," in -the history of journalizing, requiring constant activity (menial and physical) to sustain if, and exerting an immeuse influence. In our own country, not a pnper can be compared with il, and yetj 33 we have said, our American journals are attended with tremendous expenses. : When we hear of the birth of , a new paper, we wonder at the moral courage ot tne editor tn givina it a besnsr, ana 11 it survive to its secoud year, we are ready to cry a miracle! .

Governor Haines, of New Jerseyx seut in his Message to the Legislature on the 15ih insf. , It shows that the present re sources of the Treasurer will enable him to pay off the whole of - the State debt, and leave a surplus in the Treasury. : The Gov ernor recommends that the Legislature ornit the usual tax bill this year, as the other resources of the State will pay all its neces sary expenditures, ($55,33G.) and still leave a surplus fn the Treasury of $20,846.
