|sANCROFTs HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES
To the Editor Of the Boston Courier: have been
much interested in the able and satisfactory remarks
ofMr. Bancroft, in the Courier, respecting the at
acks made upon his history in President Quincy 8
Introduction to Mr.. Graham's history Of the United
Shtes The frequent perusa of Mr. Bancroft's three
volumes has led me to place a very high estimate
upon them. They are eminently suggestive; and |
scarcely ever consult them without having my re-
searches delightfully."- enlivened by the collateral in
formation which the philosophical historian has
condensed. With such views Of this work, have
been grati6ed to find that the learned men of Eng
and regard 1t with admiration. McCulogh, in his
recent book on history writes thus, page 1873: Zone
page Of Tacitus or Herodotus, Bancroft or Napier,
contains more thinking stuf--more of the winnow-
ed corn of experimentation all Rspn or Echard put
together" On pnge lS9, America will have repre-
sentatiyes Of her own in the sanhedrim Of time.

The wisdom Of the ancients. There were innumera.

His charming history Of the colonization Of the
United States which brings us down nearly to the
end Of American tutelsge, is complete. In the
beautiful words Of a brief notice appended to the
Concluding volume, he pauses to hear from the fa
Voring opinion Of the people the summons to 90 for

looks to him, does him grateful homage, cheers him
on. Morally, there is no Atlantic ocean now ~ In
these remarks | fully coincide, and trust that the

great national work o.

VIRGINIA ELECTIONS.

The Ssnais consists Of 81 members, Of which the
fourth class, consisting Of members, were 10 be
elected In addition to these, there was vacancy
IN the second class to be filed, which was OCCASION
ed by the resignation Of Mr.. James II. Piper,
,dsmoerat) During the last session the democrats
had majority Of 10. We have heard from all the
districts Of the eighth class, and the wings have
gained one only; thus reducing our majority to 3.
We cannot permit ourselves to doubt that MIR. Piper
will be succeeded by another democrat; in which
case our majority in the next session will stand at
g. Since last evening we have heard from the Ka-
nawha district and Mr. Fry (democrat) has been
elected.
Hous. Of Delsgaiss-The House consists Of l34
members all Of whom have been just elected. At
the last session the democrats had majority Of 26;
that is to say, not counting Gen. Carson, from
Frederick, who, after arduous contest for the
seat permitted take it at the eleventh hour Of
the session. So far as we had received returns last
evening, we had heard Of the election Of 80 dele
gates-eavlng Al to be heard from. According TO the
returns, we had los 9 delegates and gained 4-being
net, loss Of S. equivalent to 10 delegates out Of the
s3 and reducing laat winters majority of 26 to
10.

RELIGIOUS ToLERATloN IN CHINA UNDER THE
TREATIES WITH THE UNITED STATES AND
ENGLAND.
federation in matters Of religion is destined, ere
long, to find its way into the Celestial Empire.
From the New York Journal Of Commerce.
Doubts having been expressed whether the Chi
nese edict of religious liberation, published some
months SINCE designed to include Protestants
as well as Catholics, the British plenipotentary in
China recently addressed note to Keying, the high
imperial commissioner soliciting information on this
point, and the following is the commissioners reply,
showing that distinction is to be made between
Protestants and Catholics
"KEYMG High Imperial Commissioner, &c
"Sends the following reply to the Hon. Enjoys
despatch concerning equal toleraton of the religion
professed by the English (here follows extract Of
the contents Of that letter.
"When | previously concluded the commercial
treaty with the United States, one of the articles
gave permission to erect chapels in the five ports
and all nations were to have the same privilege
without the slightest distinction. Subsequently
the French envoy, Lagrene, requested that natives,
if they were good men, should be entirely exempted
from punishment account Of the religion they
professed. l. the great minister, then again repre-.
sened this matter to the throne; upon which the I'M
peral reply was received that it should be done as
proposed, without drawing any distinction between
the rites of the several religions
GAS, however, some OF the local nanuarins selzeu
cruc6xes, pictures, and images, and burnt them, j,
was subsequently settled that permission should be
given to worship them.
'I the great minister, do not understand drawing
a line of demarcation between the religious ceremo-
nies of the various nations; but vrtuous Chinese
shall by no means be punished on account OF the
religion they hold No matter whether they wor-
ship images or do not worship images there are no
prohibitions against them, if, when practising their
creed, they act well.
''You, the honorable envoy, need therefore not to
be socitous about this matter, for all western ma
tons SHALL in this respect, certainly be treated upon
the same footing, and receive the same protection.
81 have now addressed a letter to the lieutenant
governor Of Keangsoo, to direct the inspector OF
Soochoo, Sungkeang, Taetseang, to publish another
proclamation; and likewise officially requested the
encouragement of Fokeen and Chekeang to issue
distinct declaration Of the tenor in the various
ports.
"WhiIst sending an answer, wish you much
happiness at this season, and send this important
paper. o,ro

PROSPECTUS OF THE NEW LIBRARY
OF LAW AND EQUITY, under the direc-
ton of Francis j. Iroubat, esq, of Philadelphia
Hon Ellis Lewis, Of Lancaster; and Wilson Nc
Candess, Esq, of Pittsburgh.
This work contains the best productions of Eng
lish law authors without to priority of claim
on the part of any American publisher. Such books
are now notoriously too dear. The reason is, that
as fast as they appear, they become monopolies in
the hands of booksellers in the Atlantic cities. Un-
der the plea of right, acquired by the addition of
notes of American decisions, the latter claim un-
divided title to those works, and set burdensome
price on them The publishers of the work now
offered to the profession throughout the Union, will
not respect such titles but will reprint the standard
British law books as fast as they emanate from the
London market. Should new editions of the works
of such writers as Starkie, the Chittys, Stephen,
and Archibold appear, they shall also be included
and dlgests Of equity and law decisions-works
which have been studiously kept out of the Law
Library published at elphia--shall have a
place IN the proposed new one, together with every
new valuable English treatise on chancery or com
mon law.
IsP This work will be issued monthly, in num-
bers oi l60 pages, printed on fine white paper, and
good new long primer type, at seven dollars per an
mum, payable half yearly.
