BY the arrival of the ship Morea, OF Boston, we
have accounts from Macao to the 18th November ana
from Wampoa to the 3d-bcing five days later than
by the way of England.
The Captain of the Morea was an eyewitness to
the battle between the two British sleeps Of war
and the Chinese. The day before he left Mocao
the news had reached that place that all foreign
trade had been stopped, not even excepting that
with the Americans. The Morea passed ST. Eele-
ma on the 10Th of January.
Since the Chinese killed the first EnSlishman last
September, things have been geing on from bad to
worse. The Chinese have had about dozen YES
sells destroyed and over 1000 men killed. The Eng
hsh have not lost vessel, and only half a dozen
men. However, they have three or four frigaes
now on the station, and seven more frigates the
way there, with two three seventy-fou Canton
Bay is to be the principal of operations. The
first great fight took place at the Hong Kong anchor
age, the Bocea Tigrs, and attack was short
ly to be made upon Macao. The whole of the bay
was to be blockaded, and if this did not bring the
Chinese to TERMS part of the fleet was TO go round
to Pekin and land troops to attack the capital.
What of grievance the British originally
had, does not clearly appear. They struggled
opium contrary to law, and the Chinese destroyed

Lord Mccartney did, and make dash on Pekin,
which is barely 100 miles from the sea, and has fine

for the use Of the State.

The FINE ARrs.-Since the Herald" has de-
voted its attention the fine arts, they have taken
immense start in this city The number Of talent
ed young artists has greatly increased during
the last three years, and their productions arc
far superior to the trashy daubs brought from
abroad and made up into exhibitions" The
Apollo is in the full tide of successful experiment;
talk is made of re-opening the Barclay Street AGA
DENY; and the National Academy of Design com
mence their grand annual exhibition about the mid
die of next month The number of new paintings
this year will be unusually large; some will be very
good some very bad; but we shall take an early OPP
portunity of criticising the whole of them. These
exhibitions increasing in interest every year, as
the young artists improving in their profession
This is gradually changing the public taste, and di-
vertpg the same entirely from bad theatrical exhi-
bitons and in agreat from foreign trash, both
as regards pictures and books. The National Aca-
demy.only wants little more lberality in its govern
ment to stand unequalied.

THE NAVAL ScHooL.-It is now nearly ten wears
since Mr. Il. Coin, of this city, first started the plan
of the Naval School, in operation in several OF
our ports. Since then he has increasingly labored
for the advancement of this project, sparing neither
time, trouble, money to bring it to perfection.
After long, tedious and dilasry of conduct,
Congress has moved in the matter but not to the
enterprsiHg protector. Every seaport in the Union
should have one Of these Naval Schools; and every
necessary expense should be allowed in making
them as nearly perfect possible. They are the
most valuable institutions in every of the word
that our country contains, and are a benefit and
blessing to all classes.
The advantages resulting from the establishment
Of Naval Schools in the United States can never be
sufficiently estimated, or appreciated. Before they
were in existence, than two-thirds of the sea-
men in our national vessels of war were foreigners
This is startling, but il is truth At the same time
the streets of our cities the Atlantic seaboard,
were over-run with boys, profigate by reason of
ideness and lack of education. Now, the reverse
will soon be the case these schools properly foster
ed will train, educate, and fit seamen enough TO man
the whole Of our armed vessels with valuable sur
plus to be pat board distressed mere hantmen in
the winter. Besides this, thousands of native born
children saved from vice and misery. Congress
should carefully foster this valuable institution lib
orally appropriate to sustain it and
y reward the original protector.

GREEswooD BURYIss GRoUND.--A SPEcULA-
rIoS WITH THE DEAD INSTEAD OF the LIVING
A few months since, when the disasters and revul-
sions brought about by the land specializing mania
of ls3i35, had partially died away, or were tempo
rarily forgotten, some Of those miserable specula-
tors, who are ever on the lockout to nveigle the
unsuspectng into all sorts Of schemes finding they
could make no more money out Of the living, hit
upon the brilliant idea Of specializing in the dead.
With this view, they went to work and got up what
they call the Greenwood Cemetery Assoc iation =
laid out barren piece of ground somewhere on
Long Island in lots for the dead instead Of the liv-
ing; got the bankrupt Wall street press to puff it,
aad went to work TO induce to lay out money to
be made available for their benefit after death The
scheme failed, and il was dropped for short time
now attempt is making to revive it. II won't do
already there are burying places enough laid GU
around New York, large enough to bury every sou
that dies in il up to the day Of judgment Men can
get money to buy bread, to say nothing Of buyin,
burying places in advance.
