Tuesday night l6th.-The Senatorial
fight wakes hotter and hotter and the day
has closed without gaining an inch, or appa-

The Constitution, article four, requires
the vote to be ezra Uoee. But it is argued
that this is out of Tie convention, and not of

p. S.-If the free trade and direct taxa

assessed upon the States, in proportion to
their representation in Congress. The alb

THE SUSPENSION BRIpeE.-The Buffalo
Express says:
ave understand that the difficulties that
have existed for several months past, be-
tween Mr.. Ellet, the contractor Of the sus-
pension bridge and tbs company, have been
adjusted arnicably. The company takes the
bridge off the contractors hands, paying
him Sl2, 900 for his services, ETC., and at tho
same time taking his stock at par. During
the litigation that has attended these diffi-
culties, il has been made to appear that there
has been already received for tolls on this
bridge since it was passable, over 5000.
This being so, the stock is destined to be
the best in the country.

CHINESE ITEMS.

Hwang, late Lieut.. Gov. of kwanglung,
has been summoned TO Pekin to aIo the
Emperor with his advice concerning the re-
cent revolutionary movements Ia Europe,
which nave startled even the repose of the
Celestial Empire. The Mail says he is a
man Of great sagacity ,-dlsinteresied and
sincerely DESTROYS of retirement.
Very severe rain storms have deluged the
northern provinces of China, doing great
damage to the country and causing IN some
instances great loss OF life.
Constant ontrages are committed by crews
of conveys, on the coast OF China. At
Ningpo party OF Portuguese sailors be-
came engaged ln an aiiray with some Chi
nese, in which two of the latter were killed.
The affair Oceasioned great excitement-
As all foreigners are COMPOUNDED with the
English, there was general rush to the
british Consul for redress, which OF course
could not be afforded.
Some converts To Catholicism, near Ming
DO, the capital OF Chusan, attempted TO
turn one of the temples into chapel for
their own service. They were opposed,
beaten, and two of their number apprehen-
ded. Hearing of the affair, Pere +. y.
Dancourt, tire Catholic Missionary, denan-
ded their liberation; and failing to gain It,
he procured so Portuguese sailors, aud drove
the natives from Chusan, taking several Of
them prisoners.
The posterity of the Emperor of China
Is so numerous that many OF them receive
only small stipend, and are really meni-
all. A great grandson Of kang-he is a ser
want. Some new arrangements have ately
been made, By which they will descend grad
ually in rank until they become mixed With
the people.
The China Mail Jays that China has IN
dergOne an entire revolution IN lis ideas Of
passive obedience. Disturbances have bro
ken out 10 several provinces--in Shan-tung
among others.

When the boy runs merrily after his ball.
or chsses in the race, or leaps over the

SUGGESTIONS TO TEACHERS. each
scholar, aud see what can be made Of him.
Some who do not succeed well generally,
may yet have some peculiar talent that may
be made use of, to awaken the whole mind
and soul. Some peculiarly Of disposition
may exist, of which you must take advan-
tage, in order TO govern or excite interest.
Let the children, and the parents too, If you
can, feel that you are interested in each one,
and can sympalhise with each one, in ditii'
Guilty and in success.
At times, child's natural disposition
should be suffered 10 flow out as much as
possible consistent with restraint upon evil
actions. 1t is only in this way that one can
ascertain what the disposition is, and so
know how TO correct its eccentricites, or
lis alterations. Some persons think they
have reformed bad disposition, when they
have only depressed its external manifesto

BArHING.-Oue Of the things in which
we excel our fathers is the now common re-
sort to frequent bathing aud the use oil cold
water. as a means Of retaining and promot-
ing health. Personal cleanliness is undoubt-
eddy the greatest guaranty OF good health
any person can have. II is well known that
fve-eighlhs of all the waste matter Of the
body, passes of through the pores Of the skin.
1t is, therefore. necessary to the preserva-
ton Of health. thalthese pores be kept open
and the skin clean and active. BY doing
this faithfully and carefully. the incipient
causes OF all the ills that flesh is heir 10.
may be expelled from the system. All the
evils arising from oyer.eating. foul stom-
sch, exhaustion or exposure may thus be
remedied. Colds. too, and their frequent
sequence, consumption, may be prevented
by constant and careful ablu,ion.
In word. the bath, frequently aud thor
oughly resorted TO, is the chief means for
the promotion Of comfort, and the preserya-
ton Of health, that this world affords. 1t
offers the best OF security for long life and
happy one, and by keeping people good
naiured, lessons toy an uatold degree the
amount Of yesations, crosses and unhappy
collisions that are sure TO arise in this busy,

theatre and the wine cup have been Justly
charged with entailing sorrow on many
hitherto happy family; but il is the solemn
conviction OF the writer, that the novel
comes in for its full share Of pernicious in
fiuence. Follow that young man who has
been lolling over the fictitious tale, behind
the counter, or al his desk, TO the domestic
circle, and see whether he meets the glad
steps Of his sister as in the days Of his child
hood he was wot or whether he returns
the welcome Of his mother with that ingen-
uous smile which most gladdens a mothers
heart. Mark the husband who has sought
recreation from the pages of romance, and
see whether he enters the homo Of his wife
and children with lighter heart or kind
lier greeting. Watch the mother who has
been forced to descend from the ideal world
to the prosaic employment Of the needle,
and see whether her heart seems 10 be in
the work. Look stthe daughter who is ac-
customed to trim the midnight lamp, that
she may pursue the waking dreams; why
sits she so languidly by her mothers side ?
where is the glad voice that would have

LrcEHTIous PoETRy.--It is one OF The
foulesi and melancholy OF facts, that writer's
Of extraordinary genius, not to be surpassed
in the play Of Imagination and the power OF
language, have desecrated their talents 10
the adjoining of debauehery, to the throwing
grace and beauty over the denominations OF
vice. And il must be 4 fatal and stand
ing reproach on our literature, that It con-
tains volumes which are almost unrivalled,
in the mere article OF composition. rich in
tha -snlandnr of diction, the bTilliancy Of
metaphor, and the patnos Of description,
but which put all modesiy to the blush, and
few fragments of which can we venture TO
place in the hands Of our children. These
deserve TO be called the treaiises on magic,
when il is the wand Of pleasure which evil
spirits wave. II is beyond calculation what
an amount OF yiciousness is fostered in
land, through the circulation Of loose, but
beautiful poetry. We speak not OF publi-
cations which can only be sold in secret,
and the vendors of which have only to be-
come known to be punished by law, We
speak OF those 10 which no such open stig-
ma is attached, but which are, nevertheless
as instrumental 10 forming base passions.
and encouraging RIGHTEOUSNESS, as the more
indecent and scandalous, which draw upon
themselves Judicial condemnation. There
is many young person who would shrink
from gross writings with sort Of insiinc.
tive adherence. but who is not proof
against the seductions Of voluptuous poetry,
and TO whom. therefore, the elegant author,
who can clothe immortality in fascinating
dress, will serve as sort Of high-priest oil

by any Of IFS less polished ministers.
