[For the American Republican. I

.NessrS. Editors,-The trade of this country
with Canton is principally done through New
York, Boston having, with this exception, the
balance of it.
During the past twelve months there have
cleared from Baltimore and elsewhere for the
East Indies, as folows:-Bark Pioneer; ships
Stephen Lurman, Orphcus, and Cincinnat;
and briggs Lady Adams, Canada and Argyle
Several others (new) cleared hence, but were
owned 10y merchants at the Eastward, having
been built here for their account.
These vessels were nearly, if not altogether,
loaded by Batimoreans, notwithstanding which
they will all return to New York, because they
will there find a ready market for their cargoes.
Now, had there been a concert of action be-
tween the owners of the above vessels and car
goes, causing them all to return to our port,
the stock of teas in our market would have ia
duced purchasers to buy, as the assortment
would have been large and various, and the
competition sufficient to guarantee as low a
price as elsewhere.
Some may say the experiment has been tried
and failed. deny the assertion. True, one
of our Oldest and most enterprsing houses
made an effort to sell one or two cargoes of tea
in Baltimore, and our own trade compelled
them to desst by still continuing to give the
their purchases; but we say the experiment
was still untried, for we had not the large as
sortment and the competition which the return
Of the vessels named herein would have afford
ed by making this their port of discharge
two Prerequisites for opening a market success
fully for new import.
Now If am right in my supposition that
the cargoes of the above vessels coming into
our port in the course of twelve months would
have created market here for teas, then am
also right in asserting that the Baltimore capt.
tai invested in the trade is sufficient for the
same purpose, and concert Of action is only
necessary.
Will not then those engaged in the Canton
trade take some steps to redeem our city, that
our capital may no longer pay tribute to other
cities? Surely they will do SO.
1t behooves us as community to look
around us at the present moment five make
the effort now to create a mai et here for the
various articles we are indebted to the Eastern
ports for, we may yet, before the completion of
the Canal to Cumberland, fortify ourselves
against its evil effects and place us in posi-
ton to assist our Railroad OH to the Ohio.
| have already shown in my first commune
cation, that the coal contract between the rail-
road company and the coal company will cause
an increase of 10000 tons of shipping to take
off the same. The tea trade would add ano-
Their link to the chain binding the West to us.
In a cargo on Baltimore account received at
New York a few months since, we noticed a.
mong the consignees one of our large Grocers.
His teas were brought to this market, and here
sold. One must admire the spirit which actua-
ted him, and trust others will hereafter follow
his example. JOHN SMITH, OF JNo.

The HoRRoRs OF SUPERSTITION. The
"festival of Charak Pujah" is thus described in
"Duf's India" The revolving ceremonies af-
ford an idea of the barbarous practices of these
heather peoples
This festival derives its name of Charak P,t-
jah, from chakra, discus or wheel; in allusion
to the circle performed in the rite of s,uinging,
which constitutes so very prominent a part of
the anniversary observances. An upright pole,
twenty or thirty feet in height, is planted in
the ground. Across the top of it, moving free
ly on pin or pivot, is placed horizontally ano-
Their long pole. From one end of this trans
verse beam is rope suspended, with two hooks
affixed to it. To the other extremity is fasten-
ed another rope, which hangs loosely toward
the ground. The devotee comes forward, and
prostrates himself in the dust. The hooks are
then run through the feshy parts of his back,
near the shoulders. A party, holding the rope
at the other side, Immediately begin to run
round with considerable velocity. BY this
means the wretched dupe of superstition is
hoisted aloft into the air, and violently whirled
round and round. The torture he may contin-
ne to endure for longer or shorter period
according to his own free will Only this be-
ing reckoned one of the hottest of acts, the
Iob5cI uc CdH eHuuTe lue torture, the greater
the pleasure conveyed to the deity whom he
serves; the greater portion of the merit accru-
ing to himself, and, consequently, the brighter
the prospect of future reward The time usu-
ally occupied averages from ten minutes to half
an hour and as soon as one is ended another
candidate is ready, aspiring to earn the like me-
rit and distinction. And thus on one tree, from
five to ten or fifteen may be swung in the course
of day. OF these swinging posts there are
hundreds and thousands simultaneously in ope-
ration in the province of Bengal. They are
always erected on the most conspicuous parts
of the towns and villages, and are surrounded
by vast crowds of noisy spectators. On the
very streets of the native city of Calcutta, many
of these horrd swings are annually to be SEEM
and scores around the suburbs. 1t not unfre-
quently happens that, from the extreme rapidity
of the motion, the lgaments of the back give
way, in which case the poor devotee is tossed
to a distance, and dashed to pieces. A loud
wall of commiseration, you now suppose, will
be raised in behalf of the unhappy man who
has thus fallen martyr to his religious enthu-
siasm. No such thing! Idolatry IS cruel as the
grave. Instead of sympathy or compassion, a
feeling of detestaton and adherence is excited
toward him, By the principles of their faith
he is adiudged to have been desperate criminal
in former state of being; and he has now met
with this violent death in the present birth, as
righteous retrbution, on account of egregious
sins committed in former.

MORNING, APRIL 8, I845

PHILADELPHIA, WILMINGTON AND BALTIMORE
RAIL ROAD A correspondent of the u. S.
Gazette says:-
The Bostonians have made dip into the
stock of this Company, TO the amount of al
least ten thousand shares, causing it to advance
to S23 within few days past.
The reduction in the fare on this road from
four dollars TO three, has been commended by
the Stockholders on the ground that Il lower
scale OF prices than that heretofore adopted by
the Company, will ensure more patronage and
consequently more profit Hence it is, that in
New England, (wherc three cents per mile is
regarded as high price, those Companies
have been most successful, which have adopted
the lowest rates.
1t is estimated that one half of their revenue
arises from freight carried at about cents per
ton a mile!
We understand that the late reduction in the
charges of the Wilmington and Baltimore Com
pany have increased the business of the line
very materially, and it only needs a continual
ton of moderate prices, and the substitution of
heavy rail for the few miles of fiat bar which
yet remain, (and which will combine economy
of money and time,) TO secure to the route d
large and inalienable patronage.
