The following paragraph from late Lon.
don paper, may interest some of our fair read
ers. The general adoption of the system
might save many bashful lover a1bunglinp
or awkward reimbursement.
eff gentleman wants wife, he wears a
ring on the first finger of the left hand if he
is engaged, he wears It on the second finger
If married, on the third; and on the fourth, if
he never intends to get married. When a Ia
dy is not engaged, she wears hoop or dia-
mond on her first finger; if engaged, on the
second; If married, on the third; and on the
fourth, if she intends to be maid. When a
gentleman presents fan, a flower, or trinket
to lady with the left hand, this, on his part,
is an overture of regard; should she receive it
with the left hand, it is considered as an ac-
ceptance of his esteem; but if with the right
hand, it is a refusal of the offer. Thus by a
few simple tokens, explained by rule, the pas
sion of love is expressed.

LATEST FROM CHINA.

New York, MAY 81, 1910, o. clock PM
Highly imporfantfron Minu-INe English
Captain released-Ihe Blockade broken up
The arrival of the fast-sailing ship Eben Pre-
BILE brings us important news from Canton to
February Cd. She brings intelligence that
the English merchant captain, or supercargo,
MIR. GIBBLE, who was taken prisoner by the
Mandarin boats, for trying to smuggle from
one ship to another, had been released.
1t appears that the High Commissioner,
LIN, either out of policy, or from pure gene
rosity, or mere freak, treated Mr.. GfBBLE
with every possible degree of kindness and
attention. He took him under his special
charge-took him to Canton, showed him all
sorts of civilities, Gas we are doing to the Arab
Captain now here showed him all the curl
osItles of the city of Canton, and then escort
ed him down the river to Macao, with several
Mandarin boats, large retinue of officers and
men, and ultimately surrendered him to the
British.
AS it was On Mr.. Gibble's account that
Capt. ELLIOT declared Canton in a state of
blockade, of course the blockade was with
drawn the instant he was surrendered.
LIN was still very strict in not allowing
British goods to pass the Bogue in American
bottoms. The trade with the Americans was
still unrestricted, and enormous prices were
paid both for goods and freights at Canton.

THE GREAT ARCTIC PROBLEM,
SOLVED.

The long mooted geographical problem of a
Northwestern Passage to the Pacific Ocean
from the Atlantic is at length solved-there is
such passage. The honor of this discovery
belongs to Messrs. Dease & Simpson, of the
Hudson's Bay Company. In 1887, and again
In 1888, they attempted to complete the ex-
ploration of the northern shore of this Cont
nent by descending Coppermine, which emp
ties into the Arctic Ocean, in longitude about
ITO west, and from its mouth proceeding east
ward until they should arrive at the western
most point reached by explorers from the At
lantic. In both years they skirted along
great extent of coast, though much impeded
by ice, but failed to accomplish the grand OBJ
ject ofHheir pursuit. Now at length, their
perseverance has been rewarded. they have
ascertained that Boothia is an island, and
that 1t is separated from the main land by a
strait from 3 to 10 miles wide, which con-
meets the Gulf of Boothia partially explored
by the Fury and Hecla) with the Arctic O.
cean in about latitude 6S 33, and longitude
SO 10. The entire passage FROM the mouth
OF Copperlnine river to the Atlantic, (exten-
ding near so degrees of longitude) lies to the
southwark of latitude 69.-.Journal of CON-
mercs.

u FROM NATCHEz-I'he New Orleans
papers give some extracts from the Natchez
Free Trader of the 18th inst. The delegation
from New Orleans had arrived and were re-
ceived amidst grateful and glad manifestations
by the distressed inhabitants of the s.Citv of
Ruins" The Committee appointed to make
collections in Natchez for the relief of the I'M
fortunate sufferers report that they have re-
ceived S6,455, and in addition $3.50 subscrib-
ed but not collected. The committees Of the
different Wards, the Physician, the sexton
and others had made reports, from which it
appeared that in the city there were forty-one
persons killed; and that tiu loss Of property
and goods amounted to 81 ,O69, 1850. Twe6-
ty-three were reported to be wounded. The
names of the killed are not given. It does
not appear That the estimate includes the da-
mage and destruction among the hatboats and
their crews.
The following extract dated Natchez, Nav
IL, appears in the New Orleans Bee "There
is not house in the city or under the Hill,
that escaped injury from the tornado Our
city VIII never get up again, as j believe, as
plantations on both sides of the river are over

ST. AUGUSTINE, May l5.-Gen. Armstead
mas ordered concentration of 900 men at
Fort King, on the 22d of this month. They
Will be composed Of footmen and horsemen,
and operate in divisions of 100 each, indepen-
dent OF each other, in the enemy's country
The season for gathering their grain is near
at hand, as well as assemblages for their green
corn dance, when publication for war and a
relation of their enterprises, strengthen them
to renewed efforts in their aggressions on the
whites. Should these scouts, now CHARGED
with the duty ofhunting for the enemy, come
upon them, we may hope for results, differing
at least from those which have been had for
the last twelve months. If the enemy shall
have dispersed into small parties. great aud
invaluable gain will be effected, in the destruc-
ton of his planting grounds, and he will learn
with trembling, that though he has sown in
quiet, he shall not reap in security. Gen.
Armstead has taken hold of affairs in Florida
with vigorous hand. Success must, and
should accompany such effort and if he fails,
ne will have the proud consolation of having
deserved it.

first orators in the State were listened to and
cheered for hours, amidst the falling rain. as
they uttered words of eloquence and patriot.
ism.
The close Of evening witnessed the still
busy and earnest movements of the excited
and determined multitude. Night came, but
still the soul stirring words of talented and
eloquent men were poured out to groups of
thousands, even in the market place, and
wherever the multitude could find space
whereon to rest their feet.
Midnight, and the approach of the sacred
Sabbath alone, effected that which neither
fatigue, nor the inclemency of the weather,
could accomplish. All retired to rest deter
mined not yet "to despair of theRepublic."
So ended the 22d.

reform the abuses and misrule which have
bowed our beloved country in the dust, and
brought upon her, even in her early youth.
the grey hairs of premature old age. Shall

people, who will no longer bear the woke of
party slavery, who fight for the restoration of
their liberties-for their families-for their
household Gods-for every thing that is dear
answer. NV.
