CHRISTIANITY IN CHINA.--A native of
Chine, now at Rome, furnishes the following statistical
details to the Francoi:ion Courier :—" There are at
present about 300,000 Christians in China. The greater
part of them arc indebted for pastoral care to the Laza.
ruts, but some likewise to the Dominicans and Fran-
ciscans, and to a small number of Italian priests. The
whole number of priests, European and Chioese, does
not exceed 300. Of seminaries there are but iew, and
those few arc little more than common schools. The
Christians .are not allowed to practise their religion
publicly, but with their private assemblies no inter-
ference takes place. The churches are but few in
number, and those not capacious enough for their seve-
ral congregations, and the faithful are obliged to
meet privately. Singularly enough, a church erected
at Pekin by the Emperor Hang Hi, who was very
friendly to the Christians, has remained intact. A
notion has long prevailed among the Pagans of China,
that as long as the cress remains standing on the steeple
of this church no serious calamity can befal the empire.
In Canton there are between 8,000 and 9,000 Christians,
who in that city enjoy greater libtrty than in any other
part of the country. In Macao there R'C upwards of a
thousand Catholics.
THE SILK GOWN.—" "fo be or not to be," ia
the question whirls is now agitating the Wesleyan body
throughout this country, on the subject of wearing cleri-
cal gowns in the pulpits of the Society, by its itinerant
ministers. Mr. Welsh, in a pamphlet which lie has pub-
lished, states that the system, if adopted by ali the itine-
rant preachers, will cost the Society 7,000!. a-year. The
Rev. S. D. Waddy, the most popular Wesleyan preacher
in this town, having had a silk gown presented to him by
some ladies in his congregation, has appeared therein in
public, but his so doing has not met with the approval of
the otlice-barers of the Society in Hull. The Rev. Mr.
Bunting, at Manchester, also appeared in one on the same
day as Mr. Waddy, which circumstance being strongly
disapproved, Mr. Bunting has withdrawn Marvell until
the Conference, when the matter will come on for discus-
sion.—Hull Paper.
LAMENTABLE OCCURRENCE.—A most
die-
tre~sing case of suicide occurred in Dundee on Tuesday
night lest, arising out of the following circumstance
A young man, belonging to Forfarshire, who had been for
several years labouring under consumption, had been per-
suaded to come to Edinburgh for medical advice, which he
did. A consulting physician heard and examined his case,
and, we are informed, gave him to understand that
it was hopeless. Of this the young man wrote
to his fricads, and requested a brother to come
for and conduct him home ; but, without waiting-
for his arrival, took the coach for Dundee on
Tuesday, and on the evening of the same day, in an hotel
of that town, seemingly unable to bear the sentence hang-
ing over him, shot himself through the head, and died in-
stantly. So determined had the unfortunate youth been
to effect his purpose, that he had put no fewer than three
bullets into the pistol. His brother came to Edinburgh
as requested, but had passed bhn, unknowingly, on the
read ; and on Wednesday forenoon was made acquainted,
by a mutual friend, of the melancholy and fatal catas-
trophe.—Edinburgh Paper.
COLONEL TORRENS.—It is understood that

Colonel Torrens has resigned bis seat at the Colonial
Land and Emigration Board, under both the General and
the South Australian Commissions. In 1835, when the
establishment of the South Australian Company was
in contemplation, Mr. Angas, then a member of tlor
South Australian Commission, entertained scruples as
to the compatibility of his office with the holding of
laud in the colony, and his participation in trading
speculation!. Ile consulted Lord Glenelg on the sub-
ject, and received a letter expressing Lord Glenelg's
concurrence in his scruples. Colonel Torrens, it now

the 15th of llccernher last, he tendered his resignation to
Lord John Russell. It was accepted ; Colonel Torrens
having the option, however,
of retaining his post if he
got rid of his land. These circumstances came out in the
examination of Colonel Torrens before the Select Com-
mittee on South Australia, about ten days back. In some
further commuhications which have passed between Colonel
Torrens and the Colonial Secretary, the Colonel expressed
a doubt whether his resignation bad been construed to
apply to both the Commissions under which he held office.
He was informed that it had been so construed ; and that
it would be proper that it should take effect as soon as the
pending inquiry on the state of South Australia closed.—

Ebenezer Elliott is not known as a defender of
the Corn-law ; but he says, " that law is worth the many
millions which it costs us, if it do no more than demon-
strate to the firm above-named (Messrs. Protection, Clod,
and Co.), that they must beware in. future how they play at
the game of tear." It is thus the wise man extracts " good

hope that our declining revenue may convince our legisla-
tors of the necessi.y of a more liberal system of commer-
cial police. —Leeds Times.
The Marquis of Waterford proceeded last week
to England, where he purchased twenty-five couple of the
finest and best bred fox hounds in that country, and re-
turned to Rockwell, bis sporting residence in this county,
on Tuesday morning last. This truly liberal and high-
spirited nobleman has now in his possession three as fine
packs of fox hounds as there are in the kingdom ; and the
sporting gentry of Tipperary anticipate rare sport during
the next seasa.— Tipperary Constitution.
