compromise was adopted somewhat IN the

He said further: 81 recolleci how II wa

Do, The fifth I.ec,ure befure The Mechan-
les Association was delivered on Thurs
day evening by Fletcher Webster, Esq, of
Boston. His subject vas China. Not.
wilhs and ne the severe inclemency Of the
night, and the very disagrseaole walking,
The Church was well filed by an attentive
and INTEL gent audience.
Mr.. Webster was Secretary Of Legation
under MIR. Gushing, who was the fret rep.
resenia,ive of our Government to the Ce
lestial Empire. This Mission formed a
very important Treaty with China, and the
gentlemen composing il were received and
treated in manner highly complimentary
TO our Government, and they consequently
enjoyed many excellent opportunities for
observing the manners, character and Gus
toms OF the Chinese, as vel as for gather
ing valuable information relative to their
history.
The Chinese are among the Oldest ma
prise one tenth Of the whole and-portion
of the globe, and their population is fairly
estimated at three hundred million. Thus
far, however, they have so completely lock-
ed themselves up from all the world that
little mas been known of them, and they
seem inclined TO preserve their long con-
tinued system of isolation. Mr.. Webster
stated that while in China he had no intcn-
tion OF ever writing upon the subject, and
consequently he did not take notes or in
vestigate many matters as thoroughly as
he would have done had he then enter
tained thoughts of doing " hat he has since
done. lie stated that the idea of writing a
lecture on the subject, giving his views
and impressions of what he saw, was first
suggested to him by his friend, DIR. Choules
and that he had acceeded to the request in
conseque. ce of this, and the urgent desire
of numerous other friends. The Lee
ture was rather narrative of things and
events as he saw them during his residence
in China, than any effort to be learned or
profound on the subject. 1t contained a
great variety of pleasing and singular inlor-
nation such as man would observe and
naIrate to his friends in a social manner,
rather than Incorporate into book /; hence
he impaired what the pubic could hardly
expect to find in a volume 1t would not
be fair to give the substance Of what Mr..
Webster said, as we thought, at first, of
doing, as he will probably deliver the lec-
lures elsewhere, and If any portion of
them sho Id get into the paper, it might
detract somewhat from the public interest,
in them, afer having oce read them. Ev-
cry one appeared pleased, and we have
reason to believe that all were satisfied with
it. The strange an cdotes which he told :,
illustrative Of the Chinese, called forth
frequent laughs from the audience. The
subject vii be concl"ded by Mr.. Webster
on Thursday evening next.

Several important resolutions will come
up in Senate Tomorrow. Among e'hers
will be ,ha, of General Cass, relative TO the
suspension of diplomatic intercourse WIN
Austria but if other business interieres,
IFS discussion will be postponed. Mr.. Clay
is understood to be opposed to the susPen-
s,on of intercourse with Austria, on the
ground ,ha, If her governmen, is barbarous'
it is necessary TO have minister there 10
pro,ect our own citizeRs and that such
suspension would be bad precedent, aP-
plcable also to Russla, France, and other
nations. The object of General Cass is to
elicit condemnation Of Austria in the dis
cussion. Ills proposed speech, and others,
mus, have a coed effect in Europe, as an
expression of public sentiment in America.
Mr.. Webster is expected to sustain his
Boston speech in .he debate.
If the Missouri resolutions are presented
tomorrow, Col. Benton is expected 10 be
down upon MIR. Calhoun.
Al tedious time is anticipated in the
