HOW FOREIGN INTERVENTION is
LOOKED UPON, IN THE UNITED

! LOOKED UPON, IN THE UNITED
STATES.
The laws which exist in the Southern States
of this Union, for protecting themselves
against the dangers and inconvenience OF
the immigration of foreign free negroes, have
been the subject of debate in the French
National Assembly. The debate was marked
by that ignorance of the political organization
of this country which prevails even among
the most distinguished foreign statesmen
Very few have any idea Of the division of
power between the federal and state govern
ments, and not few are totally ignorant Of
some of the most public and important acts
of Legislation by Congress. Some that occa-
sionally discourse with the greatest fuency
of tongue, are but little better acquainted,
even.with the geography of the country, than
the traveller who wrote down Charlestown,
in Massachusetts, the capital of the state Of
Albany
The French government has, it seems, re-
cognized the existence of these laws, on the
subject of free negroes in the southern states.
and issued a circular to the captains in the
navy, pointing out to them the expediency of
avoiding to carry such persons, where they
may De ildDle 10 arrest. Inc subject DelDg
one upon which France has, it is said made
complaints to our own governmental would
be but courteous to await the decision, with
out multiplying the causes of complaint. 1t
was not to be supposed that these laws would
be suspended by the mere fact Of the COM
pIaint- England has complained of the same
thing for many years, without obtaining any
relaxation. 1t was rather a considerate and
humane act, for the French authorities to
advise this sort of people to keep away from
the southern ports while those regulations
exist. But the opposition in the Assembly
have assumed that this is an abandonment of
the rights of French citizens, and discredit-
able concession by the French ministry, and
quite scene occurred thereupon, in the
French Assembly, on the 4th Dec.
The orator, on this occasion. was one NJ
Schelcker, who, mounting the tribune, ar
raigned the Minister of the Marine for this
|circular. He described the American laws
las condemning the captains of vessels to
sc Imprisonment and the coniscation OF the
vessel, :" for. having people of color on board !;
and affirmed that some eminent French citi-
zens could not land in the United States,
without being in danger Of +" the gallies."

THE POLYNESIAN.

WE have received, from New York cor
respondent, a series of sketches for the
Polynesian, which we shall lay before oul
readers as we have room. Below will be
found the first, which we commend to the
attention Of our readers. Not the least in
teresting feature, in regard to them, is, tha,
they were written by native Hawaiian
DAGUERREOTYPE SCETCHES.
JOHN COUGH.
On the Christmas eve Just past, Mr.. John
Cough delivered a temperance lecture, in
one Of our New York churches. The SUBJ
ject of Temperance was supposed to have
been long since worn threadbare, and an
unpleasant north-easter bore on its frigid
bosom, that evening, clouds of damp snow !;
still the building was early filled to its utmost
capacity. At the appointed hour there walk
ed up the aisle small man, whose long un-
CLOSED hair fell stiffly over his ears and FORE
head. From the distance where we were
Old Boy. There was not the ruddy fullness
of youth, nor the full-lengthed stability of
thrifty maturity. His face and his head
seemed small, but the cerebral development
was perpendicular, and little singular in
its height over the eyes. His person was
small and unimpressive-his eye small and
uncommanding-his nose small; yet from
such an organization you would expect mani
festations of wiry life, and talent that would
battle and supersede the prepossessing a6ili-
ties of more elegantly and fully developed
face and frame. His skin was a pale russet,
and his dress so destitute of peculiarities,
that am only able to assure you that he was
dressed. Of'' first Impressions" then, you
will notice they were few and faint. AS he
rises in the pulpit to speak, your eye rests
upon him with calm Indifferent glance
You expect to hear something, and yet you
form no ideas of what it will be. He begins
to speak, in a calm conversational tone, Of
his wish to address himself this evening to
young men, and to demonstrate to them that
il is not safe to indulge the habit of spirituous
drinking; nor wise, even though there was a
certainty that it could, in due time, be check
ed and abandoned. You are not surprised.
He speaks easily and correctly; and it is all
Just as you yourself wsuld have said it. He
enunciates sentence after sentence so easily
and naturally, that If any one has. perchance.
teen leaning forward in expectancy, he now
settles back, calmly, in his seat, and does
no more than lend an unforced attention. 1t
is not disappointment, but satisfaction. He
does not give us mere commonplace, and yet

THE FIRST PRINTED BooK-lt is re-
markable and most interesting fact. that the
very first use to which the discovery of
Printing was applied, was, the production of
the Holy Bible. This was accomplished at
Mentz, between the years 1850 and A55,
Gutenberg was the inventor Of the art, and
Faust, goldsmith, furnished the necessary
funds. Had it been single page, or even
an entire sheet, which was then produced,
there might have been less occasion to have
noticed it; bat there was something in the
whole character of the affair, which, if not
unprecedented, rendered it singular, in the
usual current of human events. This Bible
was in two folio volumes, which have been
Justly praised for the strength and beauty of
the paper, the exac;ness of the register, and
the strength and lustre of the ink The work
contained 1882 pages, and being the first
ever printed, of course involved long period
of time, and an immense amount Of mental
manual, and mechanical labor; and yet, for
long time after it had been finished, and
offered for sale, not single human being,
save the artists themselves, knew how it had
been accomplished.
OF the first printed Bible, eighteen copies
are now known to be in existence, four of
which are printed on vellum. Two Of these
are in Eng land, one being in the Grenville
collection One is in the Royal Library Of
Berlin, and one in the Royal Library of;
Paris. OF the fourteen remaining copies,.
Ten are in England-there being a copy in
the libraries Of Oxford, Edinburgh and Lon
don, and seven in the collections of different
noblemen. The vellum copy has been sold
as high as $1,000.
Thus, as if 10 maik the noblest purpose to-
which the ar. would ever be applied, the first
book printed with moveable metal types was
the Bible.
WAGES IN IRELAND-We copy the follow
ing from the London Times
's AT the petty sessions lately held at Kan
turk. Ireland, an Irish farmer. Green by
name, was summoned by ono Of his laborers
for the sum of one shilling and sixpence.
which. We might suppose, represented days
work. 1t appeared, however, that it was
claimed for three weeks work, done at the
rate OF one penny per diem-ior eighteen
days, eighteen pence. There was no dispute
about the fact of the labor having been per-
formed, the farmer reluctance being ground
ed on the exorbitant nature OF the demand.
Mr.. Green declared that he should never
have thought of engaging a staryellng, like
the complainant Walsh, at that money, when
he could get the best men in the country for
as little He would bring a witness to prove
that the wages really covenanted for were
one haIfpenny per ,ceek. 1t was purely
commercial question. He had made bar
gain, as he averred, in accordance with the
state of the labor market in that locality,
taking into consideration the capacities Of
