Pitiful semblance of Gods noblcst work,
Thy spitefu venom falls upon our race,

Forever in thy heart ,Twoud serve to chase
From its dark caverns every generous thought,
And leave within its folds, except its evil

But search thy heart, oh man! and If thou find
OF great, or good, or virtuons, aught IS lett
Unscared away-cherish the thought, and bind
1t firmly to thy soul for if once beref

Thee nothing, for which man should wish t.

NJ. Arago has proposed plan for dis
charging clouds, in cases Of storms, of
the electric fluid which they contain,
and thus for preventing the frequent oc-
currenccs Of hail storms, which, as is
well known, are generally produced by
two currents of clouds, charged with
positive and negative electricity, cross
ing each other. it consists in an i'm
provemcnt upon FrapkIin's experiment
Of the kite, with which he obtained an
electric spark from cloud, and AFTER
wards DR.. Romas, Of Ncrac, and Mes
srs. Lining and Charles, of the United
States, produced electric flashes three
and four feet in length. nj. Arago re-
commends that small balloon, properly
secured, armed with metallic points, and
communicating with the ground by a
rope, covered with metallic wire, like a
harp-string, should be kept permanently
floating in the air at a considerable height
over the spot which it is wished to pre-
serve from the effects of lightning or hail;
and he expects that by such an appara-
tus as this, cloud might have its cleo
trio contents entirely drawn off without
any damage being caused, or that, at
least, the intensity Of hail. storm would
be greatly diminished. The experiment
is so simple, that it is we'll worthy of n
trial. French Paper.

The Company owning the steamboats,

The Company owning the steamboats,
North Carolina and G. Vanderbilt, which re-
Gently came in contact, instituted an invcsti-
CATION into the cause Of the disaster, that
resulted in the removal of Capt. Davis Of tho
North Carolina. The course Of the Company
in this respect is worthy of commentator,
and we trust may be taken as an example,
An investigation into steamboat disasters,
wbe never they occur, should be rigdly made,
and the prompt dismissal of the culpnble Of
fcer should always follow. This would lead
to more care, and, consequently, prevent the
preater portol of the disasters to which

LATE FROM CANTON.

by the barque 7 trenton, Capt. Hal
lett, at New York, Canton papers to the
29lh Of January have been received
The difficulties about the opium trade
continued, but not to such an extent as
actually to interrupt the forei gn COM
merce. The horg merchants have pub
lished new set al regulations Tor The
government Of foreign vessels.
The regulations are not to be cnior-
ced until next year, the hong merchants
agreeing that il is reasonable Tor the
mere hants in foreign countries to be
made acquainted with them before they
60 into operation.
The Canton Register is Of opinion
that these regulations will not be sub
miiicd io-lhat no captain or consignee
will ever subject himself to the degrada-
ton of giving bond to the hong mer-
chants that he is not a smugglcr.
In the Register of Jan 30 we find the
consl tuition of "The Seaman's Friends
Association in Chlna"-which has been
organized for promoting the welfare OF
foreign seamen, Of all nations, coming
within the Chinese waters.
In the same Register we find "spe-
cial edict" from the hoppe to the hong
merchants, commanding them to build
up the back doors Of the foreign facto-
ries, on the ground that they give faciIi-
ties for smuggling.
Mr.. Jardine one Of the oldest British
residents in China, being on the eve OF
returning to his native country, n grand
dinner was given him by the other for
cign merchants on the 23d Of January
the account of which, and Of other pro-
ccedings connected herewith, occupies
five columns Of the Register.
In his answer 10 the toast proposing
his own health Mr.. Jardine bore hand
some testimony to the general good con.
duct of the Chinese government as re-
CARDS foreigners.

need to be told that they bring together the
worst characters, and afford scenes Of DIS.
slpatlen, debauch and riot. Ardent spirit,
the moving principle in all such assemblogcs,
is provided in abundance, and drinking Is the
order of the day. The races themselves are
Of course conducted on the principles OF

table that any WHO are looked upon with re-
spect and have influence in cultivated society.
should lend the sanction Of their example to
entlce young men to the race ground.
II No language can reprobate too strongly
that utter disregard of all responsibility for
the influence OF our actions, which can gus
tain in the midst Of crowded population
those establishments which are destructive
ofthe morals Of the community, which almos,
without fail lead to ruin the young who are
unguarded. and which boldly counternct 80
far as possible, the influence Of the kind and
anxious parent over his child. In proportion
TO the facilities which great cities afford for
the combination Of those whose business il
is to furnish temptations to evil, should be the
energy and vigilance of the good.
II In such circumstances parents and all
guardians OF tho young are placed Under
higher responsibility. Instead Of exeusing
the mselves from the discharge Of their duties
on the plea Of pressing business, they should
remember that the causes Of ruin are multi.
| piled as well as the calls of business. and
that If those for whom they labor are left to
the mercies Of these public corrUpters, il will
be Of little avail to have amasscd wealth or
gained the admiration Of fashionable ac.
quaintances.
The miserable apology for horse.racing
that it tends to improve the breed Of horses
Is now correctly appreciated. Nor can any
apology be made for this procticc which will
not aggravatc its condemnation in the view
Of considoratc minds. II IS for the friends OF
moralIty and Of the young to set their faccs
against ". until u is banished from our vlciDi.

Dear Sir-Evcry thing is going on well
and smoothly in the negotiation line and in
very short time, expect to be able to np-
prise you of the successful termination OF
Gen. Macomb's mission. Col. Harncy arriv-
ed from the south a few days ago, bringing
with him very important chef of the Mick.
asuckie tribe; he with fourteen others, came
in to Col. H., while on the southern coast,anc
says the Indians are anxious for peace anC
will gladly accede to the generals terms.
Gen. Jones (Sam) says if he comes in, i,
will be after peace is made and every thing
settled. Coacoochcc cntertains and express.
es the same opinion. Several Indians have
also visited the General, at Fort King, and
promised TO bring in more. Murders COM
mltted by Struggling parties of Indians may
still be heard of, but as soon as the news of
our wish TO make peace is known at all, no
danger even Of this kind is TO be apprehended.

salutations with her officers. The President,
among others, has been on board"
The Galvestonian contains various par
ticulars Of the arrival Of the rare visitans.-l
The Ncriad, in entering the port, got aground,
and was towed off by the Iavala. The com.
mander Of the Phmton had been on board the
Texan steam ship, and expressed himself
highly pleased with the vessel and her ar
rangcmcnts. Formal visits had also been
exchanged between the officers of the Neriad
and Zavala.
The Houston Telegraph, of the 9Th inst,
says =" Admiral Baudin arrived in this city
yesterday, aud was received by the officers
of government with the attention and re-
spect due his high rank and character. This
aged veteran attracts great attention WHEREBY

The "Irish policy" question, on the turn Of
which, II wos understood, that the fate Of the
present ministry depended. has been decided
in favor of the ministry. We copy the fol.
lowing from the New York Commercial Ad-
veTtlseT -
The grand debate on the Irish policy OF
ministers was brought to close on the eve.
ming Of the 18th, almost every member tina,
ever spoke at oil having taken part in it,
The ministerial majority on the main ques.
ton was n, the vote being, for Sir Robert
Pcel's amendment 206, against i, 3lS.
No other business Of interest was trans
acted in the House of Commons, except an
arrangement that the bill for suspcnding the
constitution Of the Island of Jamaica should
have its second reading on the 22d, and that
counsel should be heard at the bar upon II.
The Parliamentary proceedings on the 22d
were Of very limited interest. The jamaica
government bill had its second reading in
the House of Commons, without discussion.
Sir Robert Peel expressed his hope that the
bill would not be treated as a party ques-
ton, and avOwed his counsel against II, there
should appear TO be a real necessity for its
adoption. He thought, however, that time
should be allowed the Colonial House OF
Assembly, to reconsider and reverse their
decision.
Lord Abinger called the attention Of the
House TO the progress oiarming in Lancashire
stating the magistrates who took an active
part in supporting the laws had opprehen.
sions that their lives were in jeopardy.
II we may Judge from the police reports in
the London papers the use of the Bowie
knife is getting to be quite as fashionable in
England os in Mississippi or Arkansas. No
less than Dor 10 cases Of stabbing are re-
ported in the journals before us.
A further payment Of 50 per cent has been
made, by order Of the Queen, to the creditors
