OPPOSITION IN EVERY THING. When
the goodly town of Rochester had grown to
goodly size along the banks where the
Genesee River tumbles mady over its sue
eession OF cataracts, and began to put on
city airs, they engaged an honest cartman
TO sprinkle The streets with water, la
Broddway. John went cheeriy at work,
but before he had half ended his job, brisk
shower came sweeping over the fields.
"There's opposition in all trades in Roch-
ESTER" exclaimed John with sigh and to
save sprinkling himself, he drove his wa
ter-cart under comfortable shed. This
anecdote was revived in our recollection by
observing at Concert Hall the other even
ing, a shower of handbils, announcing the
wonderful performance Of "the American
Fire King" Thus it is amongst the Yam
kees: Opposition IN every thing p Even
Mons. Chnuhert, who bore away the palm
for swallowing poisons, and devouring flames
in Eurepe-who, while in London, could SIT
in the bake-house OF Beelzebub longer than
Beelzebub himself-no sooner sets his foot
among the Yankees, than competitors start
up ready to match him in drinking burning
lava, sitting in hot ovens, dancing horn-pipes
on red hot bars of iron, or swallowing heic.
bore or hemlock. The Yankee land seems
to be an unfavorahle soil for foreign hum
hugs. Here we have an American System
OF natural origin, and unprotected by Tariffs.
Yankee at Rochester, made an Antoma-
ton Chess-Player, on hearing that Maelzel
nad made one, and without having seen il.
NO wonder, then, that the Fire King. has
found as good King as himself, where
least to have been expected, even among
republicans.

FOREIGN MISSIONS. The Missionaries
above mentioned, sailed in the ship Averick,
on Saturday week last The Boston Re-
coTder contains letter from Mr.. Brewer,
dated Smyrna, Oct. 5tb, from which the
following is an extract
From Cairo, Alexandra, and other cities
OF Egypt, we hear that the cholera has
swept off hundreds daily, but happily is now
abated There are also reports of its raw
ages In Damascus and along the coasts of
Syria. Mr.. Whiting writes US from Bey-
rout under date of Sept. 9Th, that Mr.. Mich
olayson and Mr.. Bartholomew had left them
a few weeks before, for Safet and Jerusalem,
Letters from Mr.. Wolff speak of his safe
arrival at Tebreez, from whence he was
about setting out for what he supposed to be
the principal seat Of the Ten Tribes of Isra-
ell in the country of Bokhora. The plague
was prevailing at Tebreez, SO that the GEN
tlemen Of the English consulate were en-
camped in tents beyond the limits Of the city.
ConstantinoPle at the last dates seemed q
little more quiet from confagration, plague.
and cholera, and Mr. Goodall was getting
schools into operation. Messrs. King and
Hill are here on visit from Athens, Their
schools are still more fourshing than we
had reported. Mrs. Hill and Mrs. Robert
son have 160 Greek girls in their school,
and our EpiScepa' brethren are going for
ward with much judgment and efficiency in
the publication of school books.
In Smyrna, there are cases of cholera re-
ported among the Jews and Turks. The
exposure of the former, during their feast
ofTabernacles, has doubtless been favora-
BILE to the spread of the disease. Notwith-
standing all that has been said about the
plague and cholera here, there has been
this summer but one int erment in the Eng
lish cemetery, besides those of four children
which have attended. This would he con-
sidered in America as very limited NOR
tally in so numerous a community as the
English and Americans of this city consti-
tute.

Impression is calculated TO do me a serious and lasting

an allegation is wholly aud totally groundles s, but bears
not the reInotest resemblance to any opinion that | have
ever entertained or expressed on the subject.
IL Is a very gross error, and l think YOU will bear
me out IN saying, a very strange one too, into which
the gentleman has ialen, who has made this represent

state my views ON the Tariff, that did not hesitate TO

to say, that was opposed as well to he Administration
as to the election OF Gen. Jackson. also declared nv
