MR.. GUSHING. ON CHINA.

The Newburypor Herald Of Monday last gives
sketch OF Mr.. CUsHNo's Lecture on Friday even
ing before the Lyceum Of that place:
Mr. O. has much better opinion Of the intelligence ant
capacity of the Chinese than those who have had no oppor
tun Of intercourse with that people have been wont to en-
tean large class Of the people learned, as nation
they industrious and ingenious beyond others the whole
country like beehive. Learning has the first place il
public estimation and books in Europe
catalogue which Mr. O. had in his possession Of single
library occupies ten uomes Public debated
by the popuace as much the United States and public
opinion has much influence in China the Government
with us The fatal of the Chinese has been in CIV
ing epcurean character their habits and their Govern
men One illustration of this cited the fact that at the
close of all letters another the written santaion Is
81 wish you tranquility and promotion. They lack only
military skill and discipline TO make them powerful nation,
capable of repeg INVASION overrunning contiguous
tries for Drawer, die fearlessy in the
ranks.
China does not need any foreign trade Within her
territory she produces every thing requisite for the wants Of
her population.
Newspapers well books abound and circulate freely
among the Chinese and the Pekn Gazette particularly pene
trates to every part Of the Empire They annually publish
RedB Book, similar BueB giving the and
emolument of all public officers
In regard the population of China Mr. Gushing
be Of opinion that the Chinese does the
number, and that the three hundred and fifty millions which
they claim, is not far from the true number. In the southern
part Of the country two crops year Produced and the
poorer classes subsst little rice, and the flesh of dogs
cats rats &C. To the cities and towns there carriage
ways, the streets only foot pats and horse
other beasts Of burden kept require large ranges
urage The population is crowded into the narrowes limits
by long succession Of ages Of peace and industry The
compensation asked by the which Mr. c. in his cha
racter of American Ambassador employed only pe dol
month, and Of this they found their own food and
clothing
The Chinese have long been acquainted with all the i'm
provements in the arts, upon which Europeans pride them
selves the inventors with the exception only of the
engine. Machinery has been introduced among them
The wrong impressions which have obtained in regard
the Chinese character have been caused by the always diff
cult and often TRANSACTIONS from aprmtve language
which frequently make what in the original rational and
serious appear in the translation absurd and ludicrous

SAD PHASE OF HUMAN NATURE.-The ordi-
nary civiIity of mankind towards each other is very
much dependant their actual relations. The
rich of civil treatment, and they like the
compliment, though even they must understand the
motive.
One of the most estimable men in this city, New
York; once highly prosperous, informed the writer
of this that upon the loss of most of his property,
and his entering upon business of an humble cha
racter, by which to recover himself, he found that
the very persons whom he had rendered the great
est services passed him by without speaking, and
this made such an impression on his mind that he
now never speaks first to any acquaintance lest he
may find out his mistake in his estimate of their
characters, and learn the miserable motive of their
once extreme ciUiify.
Such be the flies Of the summer while plenty siteh
at the board
Such be vutures round assembled together FOR
the feast
But sudden noise scareth them, and forthwith they

Civility is, however, pleasant commodity, and
the shadow which we are obliged to accept instead
Of the substance. Though its motive may in many
instances be very questionable, il is restriction to
which we submit Would TO Heaven that sincerity
walked hand in hand with it.--Irue Sun.
