RELATIONS WITH CIIINA.

The executive is entitled TO the thanks
of the country for the promptitudc with
which he has called the attention Of
Congress 10 the subject Of our relations
with China. Tho door is now open for
the establishment Of dirsct CONNER
cial intercourse with China, 10 a far
greater extent than has ever been be
fore carried on with that country, and
we hope TO sec the opportunity cmbra.
ced by tho appointment Of n com.
missioner to reside there. Hereto
Tore our commerce with China ha.
been considerably DISTRACTED by the
teDacity with which that government.
has maintained her exclusive system and
also, by the fact tina: Great Britain had
meagre loolhold there. while we had
scarcely any opportunity Of trade -
Now, the greatest barriers are broken
down, and II evidently only requires o
little energy on the prrt Of our Govern
mcnt TO insure an intercourse qual with
that of England at the ports OF Amy,
Foo choo-loo, NingPoo AM ChinGhai
As little advantageous as has been our
commerce with that country, our i'm
ports have been about nine mil
lions annually and our exports pretty
extensive, though mostly indirect. They
may now be introduced more cxtensiv o
ly and it is hoped, with more profit than
they have heretofore been.

THE EARTHQUAKE.
WOODWARD COLLEGE,
January 9Th, I843

Mr.. Edito.:-Last evening. Jan 4.
l943, at about min. past O'Clock
there was experienced in this city the
shock ofun earthquake; the time OF the
commencement was particularly noted,
as the writer had just entered the usual
meteorological observations for the e.
vening and was counting the beats OF a
box chronometer, to get the exact diff.
ference oftime between that and a half
second clock having u mercuTiaI pendu-
lum, with view Of ascertnining by a
series OF observations whether the rate
OF the chronometor was the same du.
ring every part OF the first twenty four
hours after winding it up. While en-
gagged with the chronometer the win.
dows Of the room began to tremble VIC.
lently and continued in this condition
for little more than two minutes. The
sky atthe time was clear except near
the horizon where there was dense
hezej this haze was the thickest in the
south west. from which direction the
wind had blown during the day. The
barometer stood al 1921 in, the attach.
ed thermometer being at az while the
i'm the open air stood at 80.
The present morning, hat is, following
the earthquake, tho Thermometer stood
at 81, having fallen much less during
the night than is usual when the sky IS
clear, and the earth rrdiates caloric
freely.
AZ the time Of the shock ;he air was
perfectly CALM 30 much so, ms not TO
disturb the fame Of lamp that ] held
IN the open air while tee oscillations

'ower as now provided in relation 10 the
rerriioryof iowa.
The bill contains a Proviso that any
subject Of Great Britain, who may be
arrested under this law in the said ter
rity, shall be delivered up to be tried
by the laws Of great Of Great Britain
under stiPuIations between the two Gov.
ernments.
We have been highly gra,ifed with
the perseverance with which the Sena

soon be successfully closed. We do not
Imagine that any claim great Britain can
lay TO the territory, can be success
'ul bar 10 the right and justice OF these
proceedings, and IL they attempt to cx
'rcise or assert claim, it should be
promptly met. Ii were better that this
question should be promptly and de6ni
lively settled.
Some persons suppose that this terri
tory would be OF little service 10 this
country, and would in fact, but increase
the embarrassment under which our
Governmen; Iabors from the present
extent Of our territory. We apprehend
no difficulty on this acco Unit, as from the
clima;e, it would not create additional
interests, and not be allowed 10 give q
preponderance to any now existing
while 1t would give us much valu
able territory, g. avoi unpleasant neigh
bors, that would be troublesome in wal
and expensive in peace. especially when
the policy OF protection sh I'll be tho
permanent one ofour government
Ihere is, also, no doubt but a quarter
OF century will see some important
towns, and much valuable commerce
