A Losr ART The most remarkable Chinese
porcelain is the Kiassing, or azure pressed; the
secret OF its manufacture has been lost but the
specimens which are preserved are OF inestma.
Die value The art was that of tracing figures
on the china, which are invisible until the yes.
sci is liled with liquid. The porcelain is of the
very thinnest description almost as thin as an
egg-shell 1t is said that the application in trac.
ing tnese hgures is internal, and not by external
painting as in ordinary manufacture, aud that,
ai'er such tracing was made, and when ii was
perfectly dry, very thin covering OR coating
was laid over it OF the same paste OF which the
vessel had been formed, and thus the painting Law
between two coatings OF china ware When the
internal coating became sufficiently dry, they
olltd 1t over, and shortly after plced tin mould,
ana scraped the exterior Of the vessel as thin as
Poss Die, without penetrating to the painting, and
men baked it in the oven. 1t is evident that if
such be the mode which was adopted it would re-
qulre the incest dexterlty and patient care, for
which the Chinese are re markable; but, although
they constantly endeavor to recover the exact
method, their trials have hitherto been unavailing

business are highly satisfactory, almost every
branch of trade is, perhaps, if we except colonial
produce, giving signs Of tirmness, activity and

the value OF wheat, flour and cotton, while the
statements from the manufacturing districts fur
nish strong assurance OF an earnest extension OF

THE TROY POST OFFICE-ARREsT OF THE

The good of the whig party, not Of the country,
demanded change Of Postmasters at Troy, in

place was removed for the crime of being a
Democrat Though the country of Miami is
strongly whig .thePeople resented the removal
at the last election, by making Mr. Pearson the
discharged Postmaster, Sheriff of the county.

which contained SO, 5oOin bank bills: Suspicion

OVERLAND EMIGRANTS.

SUFFERING AND WINrERING AT THE MORMON
SETTLEMENT AT SALT LAKE.-The St. Louis
Republican has letter from Green River, Cali
fornia Territory, dated August 10Th, and another
from Fort Laramie, Indian Territory, dated Sept
18th, which gives some interesting news from Salt
Lake, respecting the overland emigrants for Cali
fornia There is every probability that fifteen Or
twenty thousand persons will be compelled to pass
the winter at the Mormon settlements Of Salt Lake
owing TO the grass being consumed by fire for two
hundred miles beyond, renderingi impossible to
silbsist the animals in the train of the emigrans.
The supplies at Salt Lake are limited, and there
will be much suffering unless the emigrants them
selves are provided, which is not likely, as they
have thrown away everything that could impede
their travel.
1t is evident that great want Of foresight has
characterized this overland expedition. The coun-
try was but little known, and the difficulties to
encounter not at all understood. First the emf.
grants overloaded themselves with every useless
kind Of artcles--furniture Of no possible use to
them, and household luxures that could we'll be
dispensed with in the new country they were go
ing to. These they were compelled to abandon
in very short time, and subsequently when their
horses, mules and oxen were broken down by this
unnecessary lumber, they were compelled to part
with, more valuable things.
About one thousand wagons have been burned
or abandoned on the road. Along the banks of
of the North Platte to where theSweetwater road
turns off, the amount of valuable property thrown
away is astonshing-iron, trunks, clothing, &C.,
lying strewed about to the value of at least fifty
thousand dollars, in about twenty miles. Five
hundred dead oxen, one writer says he counted on
the road.
Those who will succeed in getting across to the
land ofther hopes will scarcely be much better
I Al. O.
will arrive so late that the season for working the
mines will be over, and they will be compelled to
pass in idleness long winter in California, many
Of them destitute of money or other of the neces-
saries of life, and compelled to subsist upon the
charity and benevoEence of those who are better
provided. With these prospects before them, we
must expect to hear Of much suffering among them.
The difficulties to be encountered will probably
deter any further emigration by the land route.

CAUSE OF THE DEFEAT.

Speaking of the recent and numerous defeats
of the Wing party, the N. Y. Herald, IA Taylor
paper,) says:
But all these are mere triAes they do not ac.
count for the disaster. Gen. Taylor was well
received in Pennsylvania. The people were
pleased W it'll the honest simplicity and frankness
of the man. He left good impression among
the people He is known to be favorable to a
tariff discriminating the protection of iron and
COAL An administration taking that stand ought
to be popular in Pennsylvania What then is
the reason of this terrible defeat
Brought TO the direct question, we must ac-
knowledge the corn. The great and sufficient
cause for this defeat is the same that has defeat
ed them every where else--the cabinet--the inn
beetle, humbugoing cabinet at Washington
What else was to be expected? Their wretched
policy with foreign nations more than all Other
causes has done the business. A pititu tmidity
or more ridiculous pretence of insult, has been
the card The Secretary of State, with the tear
of an old granny, could not venture to speak a.
bove whisper for republicanism i'll Europe
but, supported by the despots and those Old party
hunkers of the ':alien and sedition laws" ne
could promptly stihe the symptoms OF republl-
can ideas in Canada and Cuba. And when adj
monished of his imbecilitv and blunders, he re-

out her minister to kick up a row, and got up a
war panic, and put on his regimentals it added
only another chapter to the public modification
The people could not stand it.
This is the secret OF the general revolt: The
cabinet with their fishy intrigue with Seward
and the aboiitionists; with their wholesale specu
lations in the offices of the coantfy, under the
direction of Thomas Ewing and Truman Smith
with their weak, vascillatIng and suspicious d.
plomacy- have done it. We expect New York
10 follow Pennsylvania; and that the whig party
and the whig administration will go down, until
this weak and bung!ing cabinet rs dismissed
Mr.. Clayton is behine. the tines Ewing is too
much of a butcher, and Collamer too much his
deputy Meredith is but clerk; and the rest are
but subordinates TO the butcher or the condemn
ed head ofthe State Department. They have
tricked the President, perverted his policy, and
betrayed the country. Let us have change

NEW YORK "COALITION."

| The Southern Wing papers continue to clam
or against the Union Of the Democrats OF N. y;
who have expressly declared by resolution that
they reject all tests on the power or action Of
Congress over slavery in the territories, and con-
fine themselves to their old platform of principles
As proof that this is regarded as a just view Of
their position, the N. Y Tribune abolition whig)
quotes with JUNCTION s. letter from William Jay a
leading free soiler, under the caption OF 'the Goa
lition repudiated by true free soiler.o Jay ar
CUES as follows:
Recently the Democratic seceders in N. York
who had Joined the Free Soil party have return
ed into the bosom of the old National Pro-Slave-
ry Democratic party and while potesslng md
,id,al hostility 10 Slavery declare that such hos
tility shall not be made by them q party test
They have accordingly consented to support cam
didates brought forward by men who utterly re-
pudiate the Free Soil creed. Hence these New
York Democratic Free Sellers are now bound by
all the ties which their own professions can forge,
to support Cass or Calhoun a. the next Presiden-
tial election should either be the regular Demo
cratic candidate. The avowed object OF the late
union is not to rescue our Territories from the
curse Of Slavery, but to aship the Wing Ito get
office by reviving the very issues sacrificed al
Buffalo on the altar of Freedom.
In this reunion and its motive, think see,
not only surrender of principle, but betraying
of those members of the Wing and Liberty parties
who acted with the seeding Democrats in vo-
ting for Mr. Van Buren,. Hence feel under nc
obligation whatever, to support the present mon
grel Democratic ticket. So far as profession goes
Iregard the Wing partyin New York, Judging
from their late address, as far more reliable
Free Soil party than the New York Democratic
Coalition and where the candidates are in other
respects equally qualified, prefer the the Wing
nominees as apparently TIC most True to the Anti
Slavery couse-at least the Wings have not aban-
doned, cheated and betrayed their friends and
fellow-aborers for moiety of the spols.
You tell me the Liberty party men are gene.
rally more inclined to support the Wings than
the Democratic nominees. Such feeling is,
think, under existing circumstances, but natura
and honorable.

Iii. seldom we have to record more self

in blasting near the top of one Of the highest
cliffs on the Potomac river, and sand-blasl

ceeded more than six inches, when the unbumt

Tremendous exploson-tearing the rock into a
thousand fragments. Mr.. B., who was near BY,
attracted by the noise, ran to the top ofthe cliff,
and perceiving the negro dreadfully wounded
and in the act Of falling ouer, without moments
hesitation leaped some fifteen feet to tie bench on
which he was struggling, justin time to save
him. The escape Of Mr.. B. himself was truly
wonderful and miraculous. Had he struck the
bench t,ro inches farther from the bank, he must
have lost his balance and been precipitated
with the negro, two hundred and fifty feet to the
