Bolide every shop is an ido! of the god of wealth, and every house has a god of longevity, to which devout and daily prayers are offered. Most of them are utterly ignorant of the existence of a future state; but they receive instruction gladly. In tho streets, the Chi nose appear just as they are depicted. They walk with a swagger, and their long tails present an almost irresistiblo temptation to seize and pull them over. While the legation were amusing themselves with looking about town, it was announced that they were about to be visted by four high officers of Canton. Every thing was prepared for tbeir recep

Theao were executioners, who always accompany high officers.

Thoy entered with their caps on shook their hands at us, and the chief presented the letter. It was read by tho interpreter; and after a short silence, thoy commenced the conversation by asking our names. Informed upon this point, thoy next asked our ages.

The Chinese have tho art of dwarfing trees, and will cultivate a pear or applo tree, perfect in all its parts, and yet not exceeding a foot in height; and what is still more strange, they will raise from them at pleasure, fruit either of tho usual size, or of a sizo proportioned to tho diminished growth of tho tree.

Our Minister resolved to acquire the Manchou Tartar, the language of the court: and Mr. W. was despatched to Canton for a Tartar, as a teacher. The voyago is pleasant made in boats kept and hired for tho purpose, and very prettily furnished and managed with tho greatest dexterity. Smaller boats, by which tho others, which cannot approach tho land, are roachod, aro constantly kopt by womon who thus obtain a living, nnd who pass their lives on board. Theso boats are very numerous and of all sizes, many of them are fitted up no as to appear like immense blocks of houses floating on the water. Shops of all kinds aro kept in them; and thus at least 300, 00(1 persons obtain a living born upon tho water, living there all their lives and finally dying on board their boats. About GO milos above Macao is the mouth of tho river. Forts stand on cither aido, and on Tigor island in the centra. These forts look formidable, but are soon seen to be quite useless. They are simply walls, open at the top, and not placed upon the summit of the hill so that they aro easily commanded from tho top. They have numerous port holes, as large each of them as a barn door, and no guns at all are mounted. The population of China is very variously estimated. Tho Chinese accounts have not been received as correct, and Mr. Webster said he could not but think injustice had been done them. Thoy have every moans of ascertaining tho actual population; and when we compare tho assert

ed population of that Empiro, with that of Western nations, thero can bo no good reason for

Hogging is thus a trial of patience; tho ono strives to annoy and the other to endure; and it continues till ono of the two gives up. Tho government of China is patriarch.il a pure, unalloyed dospotism. The Czar of Russia

is less absolute than tho Chineso Emperor. Tho soil of all China is his: the lives, proporty and honor of tho people aro in this hands: ho is to them tho Sun of Heaven the source of law and religion, and is investod with every attributo of power nnd sovereignty. Tho Empiro is divided into provinces; oach province into districts, and the districts into towns, villages and hundreds. Each officer of each division is responsible to his immodiato superior. Crimes or accidents are punished, not only upon those by whom they are committed, but thoso also by whom thoy should havo been prevented. In any serious disturbance in a town, tho authorities of tho district and tlio provinco in which it is situated are punished in various degrees. Families aro hold responsible for the behaviour of each member of them. It seems to us cruel to punish a family for tho offence of one, or to ravago a district for a crime of somo of its inhabitants. But tho thoory is that all the members of tho empiro are bound to preserve order and ponce, and aro responsible for its infraction; as in England and this country, whero towns aro held liable for property aesl roved by mobs. And in China this theory is nover allowed to be-

Beef, however, can always be procured in our western counties at a cheaper rate than it can be obtained perhaps in any part of the United Stales. The commissaries of the army will have little difficulty in procuring an abundant supply of beef in any of our western settlements at a cent to n cent and a half a pound; and the beef from tho Rio Grande can doubtless be obtained at a still lower rate."

tlncluuing, we presume, the purchase of Louisiana. Thus we see that this most christian nation, in something less than a life-time, has paid nearly secen hundred

millions of dollars directly for the cost of War, or more than twice the cost of all its public service beside. The expenses of Foreign intercourse and much else are indirectly created or exaggerated by the spirit of War. The real expense of War, including the destruction of property, the stoppage of industry and improvement, and the blocking up of our coasts and harbors, have been not less than two hundred thousand millions of dollars, during these fifty-six years of almost unbroken peace. What would be the cost of a seven-years' icar at this rate? What comparison do all our expenditures for religious, benevolent and philanthropic purposes bear to those resulting from this infernal scourge?

Or giving to all aliko a density of one-third that of France, the population would excood ti5 1,000,000. Theso accounts are trcry largo anJ seem almost incredible, but when tho facts of the case, and tho means the government has of acquiring information aro considered, they will not bo deemed beyond belief. Canton is built upon low ground; hills aro on the east, and a Tartar station commands tho city. Tho population is variously reported from 500,O00 to a million. Tho streets aro seldom over 8 feet wide, and the houses are low and dark. It is hard to distinguish the city proper from the suburbs; and so closely aro the walls interwoven with the dwellings that they can scarcely be rec

ognised. The factories for tho foreign merchants are on the banks of the river, and aro much the finest buildings, except ths temples, that moot the sye. Air.

me nexi congress ior an appropriation ot lands to complete this national thoroughfare through our state. He thinks an appropriation of money can be had; and refers to the fact of one having been made by congress at its last session. It is true the locos did permit a provision to be introduced into a general appropriation bill at that time, but it was not allowed until several whig members voted against the bill without it, and persisted and determined to do so, nntil this work was provided for. It was a mere accident that the appropriation was made last year, and there is no probability that snch a contingency will occur again soon. While the editor of ihe JefFersonian objects to asking a grant of lands, the loco member of congress from the Indianapolis district has circulated petitions, asking an appropriation of refute lands. He must regard the probability of getting good lands doudtftil, much less an appropriation of money. We believe, no j

A letter from Havana to tho New Orleans Ticayune says: 'A ball was given 011 the ICth ult.. by the Conde Fernandino, at which all tho haut ton were present. Gen. Santa Anna, lady and suite attended. The wife of the ex-President of Mexico wore upon her person $50,000 worth of diamonds. To gratify the curiosity of our fair readers, we may mention that her dress was a blond lace skirt over a white satin slip. Another lady at this ball sported $10,000 in diamonds in her attire, while ten

and twenty thousand dollars' worth of "pebbles" were

quite common. There were no less than seven hundred

at this ball. The service of plate upon the supper table is

valued at $35,000; but this the Count can well afford, his income exceeding $120,000 per annnm." From Vera Crcz. Accounts from Vera Cruz via. Havana to to the 11th October had been received in New Orleans. The Picayune learns from conversation with the passengers in the steamer that the opinion appears to be general that there will be no war; the Mexicans can raise no fuuds, the troops are not paid, and there is no prominent leader to rally around. Mr. Jons Crowv Cur, of Kentucky, being on a visit in Philadelphia, was invited by a committee of the Whig citizens of that city to a public dinner. In a letter to Messrs. Sergeant, Ingersoll and others, he declines the invitation for want of time, from which we make the following extract: "I need not assure you that it Wonld give me great happiness to make the acquaintance of the friends of my f.ither in this city. I shall bear to him in Kentucky intelligence of the kind feelings which are entertained to
