Mr.. CUSHING brief account Of Mr..
Cushing's travels is given in the True
Sun of yestoday:
At Bombay, Mr.. Cushing was the
guest Of Sir George Arthur, former
Governor Of Upper Canada. During
the period Of his brief stay he found
time, in company with Mr.. Fletcher
Webster land Mr.. O'Donnell, an atachc
of The Legation, to make an Interesting
excursirn into the Mahratta country
one which pleased them far more than
they possibly could have anticipated
The journey was made partly in coach
es and partly in palonkins. They went
as far as Poonah, situated in the south
western part Of the Deccan, in Contra
India, and formerly the capital of the
Mahrattas. 1t is somewhat celebrated
for having been captured in 1908 by
Sir Arthur WELLESLEY and the ssIron
Duke" Here the travellers saw the lar
gest cantonments Of English troops in
India, and attended a grand review,
where the American Minister received
the highest military honors. They also
visited celebrated Bfahmin temple, be-
ing carried on the backs of sacred ele-
phents; and escorted by the English
Political Resident, Mr. Warden, who is
favorably known to many Of our coun-
trymen, after whom he inquired with
great interest.
Mr.. Coshlng resided in China exact
ly six months 10 day, and during the
whole period was constantly engaged
in promoting the objects ofhis mission.
By the non arrival of the ST. Louis
sloop of war, which lay very singular
ly, a long time at the Cape, and through
the continued obstacle Of the northern
monsoon, he was under the necessity Of
remaing at Macao until the Imperial
Government actually anticipated his
movements by dispatching commits
sion 10 him. Ii consisted Isl Yeng, an
imperial plenipotentiary; Wang, treas
urer of The two kwangs, and Pwan an

State Of tie Moon.--The observa-
lions made upons.ihe surface of the
moon by telescopes tend strongly tcsup-
port the hypothesys as TO all the bod
les of space being composed of similar
matters, subject TO certain variations
1t does not appear thatour satellite is
provided with that gaseous envelope
which on earth performs so many inn
portant functions. Neither is there
any appearance of water upon the sur
face; yet that surface is, like that ofour
globe, marked by inequalities and The
appearance of volcanic operations
These inequalities and volcanic opera
tons are upon a scale far greater than
any which now exists upon the earth's
surface. Although from the greater
force Of grayitation upon its exterior,
the mountains, other circumstances be-
ing equal, might have been expected to
be much smaller than ours, they are in
many instances equal in height TO near
ly the highest ofour Andes. They are
generally of extreme steepness, md
sharp-of outline; a PECULIARLY which.
might be looked for in a planet deficient
IN water and atmosphere, seeing. that
these are the agents which wear down
&
ruggedness on. the. surface ofthe earth.
The volcanic operations are on STU
pendous scale. They are the cause of
the bright spots ofthe moon while The
want of them IS what dis
tinguishes the duller porlions-usually
but enormously, called seas In some
parts bright volcanic matter, bes ides
covering one large patch, radiates out
in long streams, which appear studded
with subordinate foci, Of the same kind

well known bright spo, in the South
east quarter, called BY astronomers Ty-
che, and which can be readily listing
uished by the nakedeye, is one ofthese
ring mountains. There is one 2oo1
miles in diameter. with a pit 10000
feet deep-ihat is twice the height of

Tender Lily Of The Vale,
LoYely,modest, sweet, and pale,
While tear the night hath she'd,
Weeping DER thy heauteous head,
Forms the trembling diadem,
Weighing down thy slender stem;
How, in meekness art thou seen,
Like the lowly Nazarinea
STOPPING DER the dust beneath,
From the leafthat rose 10 sheath
Thine unsulIied, snowy bells,
Art thou pouring from their cells,
As from pensile walls there,
Odours rising like the prayer,
When in solemn midaight scene
kneeled the lonely Nazarine.
When the blast, or lightning stroke,
Wrings the willow, rends the oak,
Fearless Of the tempest's power,
As a spirit clothed flower,
Calm amid the raging storm,
Stands thy frail and silken form,
With no earthly prop or screen,
Like the houseless Nazarine.
Teaching on Judea's height,
He, whose words were life and light
Looked from that far founlain-side
Down DER field and vally wide,
For d glory there displayed,
Such as monarch ne'er arrayed;
Then the lily on the green
Named our Lord the Nazariue!
