THE DAILY UNION.

China, reports having very distinctly seen rock
with heavy breakers on it, bearing NE. by N. dis
tant about three miles, with Pulo Sapato bearing
NV. by W. distant 81 miles.-Singapore Free Press,
tn November.
From Circularsof thesBs Mission In China
ain our last annual letter we mentioned that we
were encouraged to believe that the Spirit OF the
Lord was at work with a number OF hearts among
this great heather people, who had been for some
time under the regular preaching Of the Gospel in
their own language. Our hopes have been more
than realized and eighteen Chinese have been
baptized during the year, upon profession Of their
faith in Christ All these were received into the
church after repeated and careful examinations, both
private and public. Some of them are men Of high
atianments in their own literature, and have already
proved of great usefulness to the mission. OF these
eighteen only one, and he the least promising, has
been excluded from the church, while all the others
give evidence Of holding to their profession. We
now have between twenty or thirty cases OF INTEREST,"
ing inquiry affording more or less encouragement.
ave have thirteen native preachers daily at work
at Hongkong and the neighborng towns and villa
ges ON this and other islands, and also on the maii-
land preaching the gospel, and scattering far and
near tens of thousands of Christian books and tracts
The truths of the gospel are evidently spreading and
taking hold of the minds of mulntudes all around
U.S. Our Chinese Sabbath congregations at the chap
els are remarkably attentive, and sometimes crowded
to excess"
The mandarins of Rowloon had granted the mis-
sionares the undisturbed Of two Of the temples
of idoatry in town for dspensary, rent free, and
at the same time granted full permission to preach
the Gospel and distribute tracts, which privileges
they had awaited themselves Of with great effect
There has been much less sickness in the colony
during the past year than during l843 and many
Improvements, such drains, roads, &C., are in
progress and which are calculated greatly to benefit
the health of the place.

CT. MARY'S HALL.--In approaching the close
- of the eighth year of this institution, the Bishop
Of New Jersey acknowledges with gratitude the
blessing from the Lord which crowns his abors in
its behalf. The term now current for the first time,
finds the building filled. Not to reject, at the next
term, many Of the numerous applications now re-
ceived, an enlargement of the buildings will be ne
cessary. This will be done without delay, in good
time for the opening of the term, TO the great inn
provement well as increase Of the present accom-

as in its oversight and government. The Rev. Mr..
German will continue to be the chaplain and head

sery Of the church, to train up Christian women.

Middle, and Senior Class. The studies of each
cants will be admitted into the primary department

cede it. Those who complete the whole course sat-
sfactory to the direction Of the institution, will
ceve, at its close, testimonial to that effect

IMPROVEMENT IN SUGAR-MAKING.

A new process for the manufacture Of sugar has
recently been introduced into the southern States
and the West Indies. II is the invention of French
chemist. We had the pleasure about year since
of visiting estate the south side of the island
of Cuba where the apparatus for this new process
of manufacture had just been erected under the SUI
perintendence of the patcnee. The whole process
was kindly explained TO us by Mr.. Lapice, of Mis-
sissippi, the agent for the United States. The de-
tails could not be made Ineligible to our readers,
without drawings of the different parts; but the in
vention, no doubt, az soon as il is generally intro
duced will work quite revolution in the manufac-
ture of this most necessary article Of domestic use.
The process consists, substantially, in boiling the
juice by steam instead Of in kettles, as in the ordi
nary process. The product is fully equal to the
best cayed Havana sugar; and for all practical pur-
poses is as good as ordinary lump sugar. 1t is
claimed that by this mode the expense of manufac-
ture is greatly reduced-the time shortened, and
increased yield Of 20 per cent. effected.
ing of sample of new sugar, which had been
shown them, says: "The new process is working
wonders in the sugar of Louisiana. We have at
our Office sample Of three hundred packages, made
on one plantation which is whittier, and the whole
more beautiful, than any sugar ever imported from
the West Indies. The expense of the new process
is no more than that of the old, except for ma
chinery. This parcel of sugar was received at Phil
adelphia and most Of it sold there at 81 cents per
pound. "A small portion of il has been brought on
here, and sold at 81 TO 81 cents per pound. The
highest sale of St. Croix sugar yet made, was at VI
cents.n
Whether this is manufactured on the plan above
alluded to not we cannot say but we are certaln,
from what we seen, that the sugar manufactured by
that process will fully equal the sample here spoken
of. sg.

MATAMORAS.

The steam schooner Augusta, Captain Gitt, ar
rived at this port late the evening before last in
three days from Matamoras. She brought no pa
pers. From gentleman who came passenger in
the Augusta, we learn that before he left Matamo-
rns news had been received there that the Mexican
Congress were considering bill to close the ports Of
that country against all American vessels As il
was known that large majority of the Congress was
In favor Of hostile measures towards this country, il
is presumed that the bill has ere this become law
if i has not already gone into operation. Troops
were being sent to the mouths Of the Brasos, Santi-
ago, and del Norte. under the direction of General
Arisa, commander-n-chief Of the northern forces
About z, 500 troops were stated to be at Monterey
II is possible this news may be unfounded for in
the present precarious state Of our relations with
Mexico, rumor stalks abroad in thousand shapes
ringing alarms with thousand tongues.

TUITION In MUSIC AND THE ITALIAN
AND GERMAN LANGUAGES

MT RS. FLIESCHMAN has the honor to an
wi nounce to the citizens of Washington and
Georgetown that she has engaged the invaluable
services of MADAME KORPONAY as instruct
ress in her establishment.
The departments to which Madame Korponay
shall chiefly devote her attention Music and Hal
ian and German Literature. The miscellaneous ed
ucation Of Madame X. most peculiarly qualities her
for the successful discharge Of those interesting du-
ties. native of Italy, she is intimately conversant
with its elegant literature, and speaks the lovely
language of her country in the pure mclliAuous ac-
cent Of Florence German by descent, as well AZ
education, the beautiful, expressive dialect Of her
maternal parent 10 alike familiar to her. Indeed,
both those fashionable languages are spoken and
written by Madame Korponay with the purity of a
native and the accuracy Of scholar. Her distinc-
ton, ALSO as musician, is not inferior TO her
COMPLIMENTS as a linguist-having completed her
musical education under the celebrated Thalberg,
with whom she was favorite pupil.
