600 lbs annually consumed. and the quantity sx-
ported from China by sea, to ell places, cannot fall
short Of leo GOO 600 los England gives TO Chios,
for tea, silk sugar, candy and ca pphor, $40 00O000

With this N oney the Chinese pure opium from
the East India Company, who are the principal
gamers by all this trade, whence they derive
. profit of $25 600 600 year. The Eoglish
government derive q revenue Of $27 900 900 an
nually from tea, but 1t comes GU, OF the pockets
OF the unfortunate people, who consume more
than twice the quantity of tea consumed by
all other countries except China and Japan.
The chief advantage derived by the United

Mr. Boris AT THE CONFESSIONAL We notice
| in an abolition contemporary, famous for similar
contributions Of personal abuse, letter from the
| Con John Botis, in which such expressions IS
mo gentleman" scurrility and bla,kguardisn,"
"crazy from beastly insox'caton, aud other SINH.
| lar flowers OF language, are corspcuou language
| far more congenal to the Five Points and Cor
| laers Hook than to the splendid drawing rooms Of
| tie Aston House. Mr. Bolts. who claims patent
Of gentility from Virginia, has the simple candor
| TO admit the truth Of one charge, viz that he
transgressed the rules Of good breeding, by intro
| duciDg the name Of lady into political speech,
| aud endeavored TO amuse public meeting with
false aud fictitious anecdotes Of her private life, in
| connection with General Scott's oh sra,ter as a
| gentleman His excuse is that he said nothing of
Ger at which her friends, in his opinion, could take
offence.
| What must We say to su.h unparalleled obtuse
| as this 1t is intolerabe that man who sets
up for a gentleman one degree above The level OF
| Coilsers Hook, should be- allowed TO drag lady
INTO u political canvass, ard then screen himself
from the contempt such conduc. cannot bu. create,
| by the contemplate plea in exclamation, that he
| did not villify backyard her! A pretty pass
| ,hipgs have to in Virginia, if stump orators
are at liberty to make free with the names of the
! wives and sisters Of their political opponents
| and are held harmless if they only refrain from
"refecting upon the character, propriesy,
| discretion Of the ladies IL question. We did
| not think we should have required to tell
| .he Hon. John N Bolts that the very act o.
introducing ladys name into political speech at
| public meeting, is 20 unworthy Of a gentleman
that like the letter Mr. Bolts aas published in the
Tribune, it would be Indignantly repudaed by any
/! Ct the rowdy orators OF the lowest assemblies In
| ibis city. We have fastened on this yrglnan gen.
| tleman the charge Of ignoring the common pro
prieties of life and outraging the whole female sex
ia the person of lady. To excupate himself he
will need better than assertion that
be merely circulated kitchen gossip and forebore to
| assail character.
| Nor has Mr. Bolts been more fortunate in his at
tempt to defend himself from the charge of ira
duciDg General Scott. 1t is most inexplicable
circums ,ance that while the wings papers TEEN with
charges of personality against the democratic can
didaies, the only really offensive anecdote of Cen
F., er,l scott's life, (Which we have over and over
mead a \ 49, ba
oce of the whig abolition paper Of this city, sent to
distant whie Journal fo insertion, and subsequently
re- copied in the Tribune, Albany Ereaing J1u'Hai,
&c., and ccmmented upon by the editors of these
papers. We have spent our strength in endeavors
to defend General S,ott from the calumny
Of having behaved with gross rudsness to a
ady. We know that whatever John N Bolts
snd his apologists nay think fit 20 do,
General Scot. ia too well bred to insult lady to
Der face but sc utterly imbscile have these wings
become, that they insist upon the genuncness OF
their forgery. The Tribune is determined .. al
hazards, to certify to the people Of this Uaon that
General SCOTT is lost to I'll sense of courtesy and
his worthy coadjutor John u Botts is not behind
hand IN asseveratipg tie calunlny. Between the
two, in spite Of strenuous Efforts we knox that
many wings are beginning TO alter their favorable
opinion OF uSHeIal ScOIt, ana 10 argue that IA III
who could be grossly wanting in respect to LADY is
hardly entitled to much respect himself We shall
however, continue to defend General Scott from
this unwnrrantable csiumny, and trust tina. our
efforts will succeed in exposing the fasehood Of
those who, for some sinister purpose, are bent on
hbelling the private character of the whis can
didate.
We hnve not done with Mr. Bolts He is now de-
veIng speeches in this latitude and it is not impss
sbe that we may treat our readers to few spicy
selections, if they possibly be put 10 fit dress
for the columns Of this journal. This will probably
draw forth another Five Points letter from Mr Bots
