hands and the feet of the victim, her
breast was torn, and her head dashed
tn pieces with mailet. During their
dreadful cruelties. the young woman.
who thus fell victim to her pretend
ed revelations, uttered shouts of JOY
and gladness, until the spirit fled un-
der the tortures Of her religious exc
cutioners. The infuriated group as
sembled around her, mingled shouts
of joy with hers, and, at the conclu-
sion of the sacrifice, celebrated her
death, by chanting over her remains,
hymns to her departed spirit. As
soon as the magistrates were inform
ed of these atrocities they hurried
to the spot, and six of the guilty ia
natics were instantly seized to ans
wer the calls of offended justice.
1t is somewhat remarkable that
the idea of Bonsparte should enter
into the mind of the deluded young
woman. and mingle with those senti-
ments of religion, that are drawn
from such a different source. The
otherwise popular character of Bona.
parte, can surely claim little congo.
niality with religion. But from this
circumstance we can perceive the de-
plorable ignorance into which the
common people of some portion Of
Europe are sunk. They possess
slight acquaintance with the doc
trines of the scriptures. and learn
from hearsay the political event OF
the times but from the want of an
early education, they mix up in their
minds these unconnected species oil
knowledge, without order of regula-
rity. The establishment of public
schools, and the liberty of the press,
arc the only remedies for such ex-
cesses and even with these advanta-
ges, the perversity Of human nat ure
will in some instances triumph over
knowledge, intelligence, and common
sense.

CAPT. WHITES VOYAGE.

VISIT TO COCHIN CHINESE PAGODA.
In one of our walks in the environs
of the city, sequestered spot. at the
further end of romantic pathway.
amid the foliage of various kinds of
beautiful trees, situated on a small
mound, apparently artificial, we ar
rived at the largest Pagoda we had
yet seen in the country. twas of
brick, covered with tile, and in TO-
tally different style from others in
the city. 1t bore traces of great an
tiquity, which, with its immense pro-
portions, and certain air of Goth
ic grandeur and Druidical seclUsion,
were admirably calculated to inspire
an involuntary awe, and to render it
a proper retreat for the most rigid
asCetic.
An old priest, with grey beard,
but got otherwise distinguisbabie from
the laity, accompanied by a young
aspirant, advanced a few steps to
meet us, and received us with great
appearance of cordiality, and when
informed by the linguist, that our OBJ
iect was curiosity to see the temple,
he readily proceeded to crafty us.
In front of the pile were suspended
four bells of different sizes and tones
and of the form and arranged in the
manner heretofore mentioned we en-
tered by a door near the eastern an
Gle, and were ushcred into small
apartment, where were suspended
from the walls several articles of clo-
thing, which appeared to be the vest
ments of the priests; from this, by
a side door, We entered spacious
vestibule separated from the nave of
the church by massy partition of
polished wood in pannel work.
In this place were three immense
drums mounted OH frames, and on
"A table small brass idol with an Gle.
plants proboscis, before which was
brazen censor filled with matches,
one end OF which had been burned.
The priest then threw open a large
door in the partition and led the way
into the body Of the temple. There
was no light besides what was ad.
mitted through the door by which we
had entered, and that was barely suf-
fficient to render "darkness visible:"
our eyes however were enabled to
penetrate the gloom sufficiently tQ as
certain that its interior proportions
were commensurate with the idea we
had formed from its exterior.
Several groups of idols, of hideous
& some of colossal proportions, were
visible through the dim twilight that
pervaded the temple and seemed to
render them still more hideous and
unearthly. In fact the recollectIons
of this exhibition arc more like the
traces of an indistinct and feverish
dream than reality.
1t would be as futile to attempt any
description Of the various monstrosl-
ties in this pantheon of pagan divinI-
ties, as it would to repeat.their seve
raj genealogies, histories, exploits,
&c. as delivered u, by the priest,
through the medium of Polonio.-
Their divinities, however, were not
treated with any great venera-
tiou nv these rnardians nj the tenn.

DOMESTIC LOVE.

Domestic love not in proud palace haas
Is often seen thy beauty to abide;
Thy dwelling is in lowly cottage walls.
That in the thickets of the wood-bine hid,;
With hum of bees around, and from the side,
OF woody hills some little bubbling spring,
Shining along thro' banks with harebells dyed
And many bird to MARBLE on the wing,
When Morn her saffron robe DER Heaven anc
earth doth fling.
o love of loves Ito thy white hand is given
OF earthly happiness the key
Thine are the joyous hours of winters even,
When the babes cling around their fathers
knee;
And thine the voice, that on the midnight sea,
Melts the rude mariner with thoughts of home,
Peopling the gloom with all he longs to see.
Spirit I've built shrine and thou hast come,
And in its altar closed-forever closed thy
plume!

or Just rights of the new states, howsoever
fairly acquired.
Before closing the report, your committee
would observe that they had not the means
within their reach, OF making any very exact
calculation of the nature of the right given up
to Congress, to tax the bounty lands for three
years from the date of the respective patents,
and of other lands for five years, from the date
of purchase. But short reflection on the
subject it is thought, will convince any candid
mind that Sl50,000 for the time which has
elapsed since our admission into the Union,
is far from exceeding fair estimate.
They will also observe, that among the do
cuments committed to them are the reports
of the Legislatures of the States of Ohio and
Massachusetts on the subject of the PROPOSE
tons Of the State of Maryland, in which some
of the views taken by your committee are
strongly enforced, and others upon which they
have not touched, very learnedly displayed.
They have the more satisfaction in noticing
these reports, as the one comes from large,
very popuous and respectable State, the
first formed out of the northwestern terrific
~, and which, therefore, might very naturally
be expected to take the lead in resisting any
unjust attempt to affect our rights; and the
other from one Of the States proposed to be
profited by the measure, which repels, with
becoming tirmness, the slightest attempts to
enlist her i'll an unjust cause.
Your committe, taking the view of the sub
ject they have beg leave to recommend the
adoption Of the following resolutions:
1. Resotved by the General assembly Of the
State Of Illinois, That the appropriations made
by Congress to certain States, of lands lying
within said States, for the purposes OF educa-
ton have been made for national, and not for
State purposes.
9. Resotyed, That the public lands do not
form fund, out OF which appropriations may
be made for the use of Schools to any State,
other than such, wherein said lands lie and are
ordered for sale, except upon good and yalua-
BILE consideration given therefor.
8. Resolved That il would be derogatory to
State sovereignty, and tending to disturb The
harmony and peace of the Union, to give our
State jurisdiction over, or right OF property
to, lands lying within another, without the con-
sent of the State or States within which the
same are situate.
4. Res1red, That our Senators and Repre-
sentative in Congress be requested to use
their endcayors to oppose any measures Or
propositions of the States, conflicting with
the foregoing resolutions.
S. ReSo{usd That the Governor Of this State
be required to transmit a copy OF the fore
going report and resolutions to our Senators
and Representative III Congress and also to
the Legislatures OF the different States in the
Union.

INTERESTING OPERATION

IN LIKED lNAr Of ERA i'm.
Among the many cases of cataract
successfully treated by Dir. Beckwith,
one, vino was eye witness OF the facts,
thinks the following case, the only Que
among US, it is believed, of one born
blind, being restored to sight, mus, be
interesting to the public.
Some time since, Miss Mary Smith, a
young weman about Is or 10 years OF
aye, blind from her birth, in both her
eyes, came to this place to submit to the
operation of COUGHING. The event has
more than realized her most sanguine
hopes. BY the operation, she has been
brought to as perfect sight as persons OF
her age, laboring under congenital cata-
rac,, have, probably, ever been. The
effects on her feelings were such as
might be naturally expected. When the
broad light of day burst upon her, no.
thing could exceed her joy, surprise and
establishment. On using, for the first
lime pair of cataract spectacles, she
could express her Joy only BY repeated
and exravasa ant bursts OF laughter. The
sense Of touch had made many objecI 5
familiar to her; but on receiving her
sight, all was to be learned anew as
she could not tell single article by
sight, until she called In the aid OF
| touch, or was told its name. She can
now distinguish her acquaintance across
the street, walk freely abroad, and per-
| form most domestic duties. She de-
clares that she never suffered one hours
pain or any Inflammation in consequence
Of The operation. DR.. Beckwith, who
has thus had the singular happiness OF
restoring an interesting female from all
| the horrors of total blindness, to the bles-
sings ofsociety, has succeeded in com
pletely restoring 10 sight a number OF
other persons, laboring under this dis
tressing privation, within few years
past. From the circumstance of an al
most total absence of pain, inflammation,
and other unfortunate symptoms, so often
complained oil, We are induced to be
lieve there must be some improvement
in DR.. Beckwith's mode OF operating
We entertain hope, he will give the
public a history of his cases, with his
method Of operating and mode of treat
ment. Should any apology be due to
the Doctor for using his name so freely
the desire we have, that others may ex-
perience the happy effects of his skill, is
all we can offer.
