Mr.. Cushing, on China.

The Newburvport Herald Of Monday last gives
| sketch Of Mr. CusHiNG's Lecture Friday
evening before the Lyceum Of that place
Mr.. c. has a much better opinion Of the intel
lisence and capacity Of the Chinese than those
who have had no opportunity of intercourse with
that people have been Won't 10 entertain. "A large
class of the people are learned; as nation, they
a re Industrious and ingenious beyond others; tho
whole country is like n beehive. Learning has
the frs, place in public estimation, aud books arc
as numerous in Europe. a catalogue which
Mr.. c. had il his possession OF single library
occupies ten volumes. Public measures arc de-
| bated by the populace as much as In tho Cnitec
States and public opinion has as much influence
IN CHINA tho Government as with US. he
fatal error of tho Chinese has been in giving too
epicuroan cha ractcr TO ,hoir habits and their
Government. One illustration Of this cited was
the fact tina, at tho close of all letters 10 ono ano-
,her tho written salutation is 81 wish you tram
GUILTY. and promo,ion.' They lack only military
skill and disc pine TO make them powerful ma
ton, capable Of repoIing invasion, or overrunn-
ing contiguous countries for no men arc Drawer,
or die moro fearless y in the ranks.
China does not need any foreign trade With
in bor own territory she produces every thing re-
qusite for tho wants of her population. ....
Newspapers as well as books abound and circu-
late freely among tho Chinese, and tho Pekin
Gazette particularly ponetra,es to every part OF
! the Empire. They annually publish Red Book,
giving the names and emolument of all public
officers.
In regard to the population of China. Mr. Cush-
ing to DO of opinion that the Chinese census
does not overraie the number, and that the three
hundre and fifty millions. which they claim. IS
not far from the true number. In The southern
part of the country two crops yoar are pro-
duced, and the poorer classes subsist on Iittc
rice, and tho flesh Of dogs. cats, rats. &c. TO
the cities and towns thero no carriagoways,
the streets only narrow foot-paths, no horse
or other beasts Of burden kept to require large
ranges of pasturage. The population is crowded
into tho narrowost limits, by long succession oil
ages of peace and industry. The compensation
asked by tho servants which Mr.. c. in his cha
ractcr of American Ambassador employed. was
only five dollars n month. and out of this they
found their own food and clothing.
Tho Chinese have long been acquainted with
all tho improvements in tho arts, upon which
Europeans pride themselves Us the inventors, with
the exception only of the s,eamengino. Machin-
cry has not been introduced among Them.
Tho wrong impressions which have obtained
in regard 10 tho Chinese character, have been
caused by the always difficult and often erroneous
TRANSACTIONS from primitive language which
frequently mako what in the original was rational
and serious, appear in the translation absurd and
Iudlcrous.

In the month of August last boy Of IL years
of age, the Of of our citizens, visiting
in the country. AS he was crossing fold, a dog
pursued him an intruder upon his masters pro-
misses and the boy being alarmed ran FOR some
distance, the dog chasing and barking fercely.
At length tho dog within few feet Of
him. the boy stumbled and fell down bank and
broke his leg. Tho poor fellow Of course
terribly alarmed, tho dog still barking ut him as
he lay helpless at his foet. But the instant the
dog perceived that tho child was hurt, he returned
iowa rds his masters house and by his voice and
actions convinced the family that something
wrong. Finally, afor having tried in vain to
quiet the dog, they followed him till they found
tho child crying for help, ou, at such a distance
from any house that he could never have mndo
himself heard. Had it not been for the kindness
of tho dor. bis enemy! the boy would have faint
cd there or would have attempted to crawl a why,
in which case he would doubtless have destroyed
his limb.
The rcmar able feature in this case is, that tho
disposition Of the dog suddenly changed.
We often read Of dogs making similar efforts to
the lives of their masters children to whom
they nro attached, but this is the only instance
we have ever met with, where brute exercised
what may be called, without irreverence, ''tho
christian principle of kindness fallen enemy.
In this respect the dog was much moro of q man
than many in this world who walk upright.
