My good friend Sirius, in the Herald of yes
teSdav, has vapourrd away in his usual acute
style, and has by one of those poetic licences,
granted to writers ofhis transcendant abilities K
5eep research, (having by going to the Coffee
House accidentally fallen upon Judge Richard
: sons chargeto the Jury, and thereby convicted
Orion ofplag iarism) traRsmogTsfed me into ava
liant knight, for which honor I ought certain
ly to be grateful but such is the perverseness of
my nature, cannot, knowing the aversion
have to being an actor in chivaftous feats. 1T
Is some consolation to me, however, to know
thatif have inundated myselfit has not been
on the shrine ofthe mar!ing correspondent of
the Herald. With respect to the Astronoml-
cal alusion, it IS possible that had the honor
,ofhaving station in the upper regions might
be able to understand it without glass.
4 certainly never doubted, that were the
writer of Sirius the Editor ola newspaper, it
itwould abound with those scintiIlati0ns OF arit
and h,,nor for which he Is SO proverbia;, and
still more, if ! could by any process recall a
rcandsring correspondent to give life and elias
ticity to the columns of my paper, its uapidraess
would disappear, ifby no other means, by the
denseness of the cloud which he would raise.

A son of William Sox, at the Mountain
Inn, on the top Of the Pocano Mountain,
was bitten by Rattlesnake above the
heel, on Tuesday, the Cd ins:. On We'd
nesday morning the Sd inst. saw him:
the leg was much swollen, and was purple
and red half way up his thigh: around the
wound it was very black; blisters rose on
the inside of his. leg; it was at first per-
feCtly white, but soon became discolored,
and one of them which had been opened,
bled profusely; the lad bIed freely at the
nose. When struck, he scarcely felt the
wound, but heard the snake rattle, in from
FIVE to ten minutes he began to feel sick;
and the sickness and weakness increased
until in twenty or thirty minutes he was
unable 10 move; little brother ran home
and gave information to the father, who

Immediately revived and the sickness lett

and used several remedies to draw out the
poison; 'bnt the state of the leg was such

SUSPENSION OF THE TEA TRAD

WITH CHINA.
It is one Of the effects OF distance that it
renders US, 10 degree, insensible to con-
sequences of the greatest magnitude and
Importance. In another part of our paper
will be found an account OF some recent e.
vents in China namely. the killing OF one
Chinese, and the wounding of several 9TH
ers the certain result of which will be,
unless the matter be compromised, that a
permanent stoppage will be imposed, by
the authority of the Chinese Government,
to the future expectation OF tea by the
East Iniia Company to Great Britain.
Under the rude principles of the Chi
nese law, there is no distinction between
homicide and murder and all acts of ho-
micide, whether by natives OF foreigners,
are punished by the death OF the party com.
hitting the act, whether voluntary or in
voluntary. Upon this principle, the Chi.
nese Viceroy Of Canton has made a de-
maDd OF the gunner of the Topaze, tie
British frigate from which the shot was fl
red, in the protection of her own crew
and as this demand has Of course been ie-
fused, and can in no event whatever be
granted, the whole British Factory have
been Professionally expelled from Canton
all their treasure and property embarked,
and all communication cut of.
In this manner the case stands at pre-
sent, and under these circumstances there
are two questions The first is, whether
