From The ". Y. Erening. Post.

THE CHINESE PORT OF SHANG Hal.
Our government has given the post of Consul
at Shanghai in China, to Caleb Lyon ESQ.,, of
Lyondale, in this State.
Shanghai is the northernmost, and therefore
the healthiest of all the Chinese ports open to
foreign trade. 1t is situated in 80 deg of north
latitude, at the mouth of the great river Yang
tsee-kee, name signifyrng Child of the Ocean,
with current two thousand miles In length 1t
flows through the richest and &C ntral portion of
the empire, and about hundred miles above
Shanghai it passes the ancient city OF Nankn,
with population of about l ,l00O 600 souls Nan
kin is older than Pekin, and was the capital of
the empire before the Tartar conquest. AT Nan
kin the emperor still passes the summer months,
and his palace stands on the banks of river a
little above the CITY.
Shang- hal is also the most populous of the
Chinese ports with which foreigners are permit
ted to trade Within the walls are 500 900 in
habitants in the suburbs are 100000
On the banks OF the Yang tsee- kee, and around
Shang-h hal, lies the region in which green tea is
produced Teas are cheaper at this port than at
Canton; they are brought Immediately down the
river, and the producers have no canal transit
duty TO pay at that port. This circumstance
and the commodiousness of its harbor, and tn e
healthness of its climate, are probably the reas-
ons why the English trade with this place has
increased so rapidly. 1t is now quite equal to
the English trade with Canton
Shang hal commands the extensive japanese
commerce which passes through that city up the
Yang tsee kee TO Nankin, and thence through
the great canal 600 miles further to Pekin, the
great inland city of the empire. So large is the
trade of the port, that 1000 junks have been
seen lying before it at once, waiting for their
cargoes. II the trade with Japan is ever acquir-
ed to this country, it must, in all probability be
by means OF the wealthy Japanese merchants,
amounting to about 200, who reside at Shanghai,
where they conduct the commerce OF their coun-
try, maintain their own schools, and preserve a
separate existence from the Chinese
The river Yang tsee-kee is the Mississippi of
Chna-its banks, in the language of the country,
are called the Paradise of China. The French
missionaries remarked, long ago, that great re
semblance existed between the climate of the
Chinese coast and that of North America but
at Shanghai the winters appear to be colder and
the summers warmer than in the same latitude
in the United States. At Shang-h hal the snow
falls in winter to the depth OF two or three inch
es, and ice, the product of the winter frosts, is
preserved for use through the summer ANY of
the vegetable productions Of the region around
Shanghai would probably be hardy enough for
this latitude

FROM SANTA ZEE.

The accounts from New Mexico which have
reached US, are from Ell Paso to the 18th January
and Santa Fe to February Sd.
The battle fought by Capt. NORM and his COM
mand took place % miles from Santa Fe. At the
first volley discharged by troops, SO of the
Mexicans were killed, the rest were thrown into
confusion and precIpitately fled to the mountains
Capt NORM followed up his advantage with
decision, pursued the enemy, and devastated the
valley of the Moro, burning every thing in his
path. The people, terrified, fled TO the noun
taQs also, where death, in the shape of starva-
ton, awaits them-a horrible but just retribution
for the sanguinary massacres which they effect
ed, and the wide spread instruction which thew
contemplated.
When Mr. Caldwell, who brought the express
from Santa Fe to st. Louis. left the former place
he heard heavy reports OF artillery in the direc-
ton of the Moro, and doubtless another battle
was progressing-but no particulars were re-
ceived.
At the first battle Capt. Headley was killed.
and seven wounded on our side.
From FoRr PIERRE. The st. Louis papers
of March 20 contain the following
Major A. j. Drlpps, Indian agent, arrived in
this city yesterday from Fort Pierre, post be-
longing to the American Fur Company. 500
miles up the Missouri.
On the way down Maj. Dripps passed several
encampments of Mormons In every instance
he represents them as enduring great privations
and suffering. He passed number OF them re
turning to the settlements
The people from all that we can learn of their
position and condition have endured more prIva-
tons during the winter than even many of those
who are suffering from famine in Europe.

RELIGION IN THE EAST.

In continuation of his lectures on this subject
last Sabbath, DR.. Baird said it was as true of the
Greeks now, as in the days of st. Paul, that they
were people who I" seek after ioisdom' or
knowledge. Nothing in all Greece interested
him halt so much as its 400 primary schools, its
four Gymnasia or Colleges (at Athens, Patras,
Chacis, and Syra,) and its University with its
library OF $4,000 volumes, aud its observatory
which is a better one than any similar establish
ment in these United States at least any one
connected with college or university Many
OF the elementary and secondary schools have
been established through the muni6cence Of in
dividual Greeks. A rich Greek in Smyrna, or
some other foreign city, gave $780, 900 to found
the University of Athens Another, OF Vienna,
gave nearly $4,000 to found the obse; vatory,
and supply II with the admirable set OF instru-
ments and appliances which it possesses.
Dr. Baird said that he was delighted TO see in
the miserable villages OF Greece, poorlv.cla
but brighteyed, spnghtly little children hocking
to the schools, bare footed and bare headed with
satchel or basket in hand, containing piece Of
black bread, and two or three dried figs. The
Bible is read in many Of the schools
He stated one fact in relation TO the University
OF Athens, which is very interesting He said
that 1t has 25 professors, some Of whom have no
small reputation, as for instance old and good
Bambas, Of Sciote memory. There are $50 youth
attending the University as regular students.
Many OF these young men are sons OF Greeks
more or less rich, who live in foreign cities
Smyrna, Salonica, Constantnople, Adrianople.
Vienna, Corfu, &c. In addition to these $50 stu.
dents, there are 400 young men in Athens, clerks
and others, who attend the lectures on History,
Political Economy, &c. These lectures are not
given every day, but several times week, and
last an hour or an hour and half.-Bost. Jour.

BREAD FROM BRAIN

Where the iron of our lives
Is wrought cut in fire and smoke
There the mighty Vulcan strives,
Hot the furnace, hard the stroke.
There the windy bellows blow.
There the sparks in millions glow
There on anvil of the world.
Is The changing hammer hurPd.
Hard the labor small the gain
Is i'll making bread from brain
Where that nameless stone is raised.
Where The patriots bones were placed
Llv'd be-lttle loved and praised
Died he-llttle mourned and graced
There he sleeps who knew no rest.
There unblest by those he best,
Here he starved while sowing seed.
Where he starved the worms now feed
Hard the labor small the gain,

Raining thoughts in dewy showers.
While the signs OF nectar rare,

As he eats the moudy crust.
Hard the labor small the gain.
Is in making bread from brain.
When the prophets warning voice
Shouts the burthen of the world.
Sackcloth robes must be his choice,
Ashes on his head he hurled.
Where tyrants live al ease,
Where false priests do as they please,
He is soorned and pierced inside
He is stoned and crucifed
Hard the labor small the gain,

Only on the mouldy crust;
Tyrant fool and false priest, need
All the crumb, and scorn the just.

Let thy children eat who labor,
