The HING OF SIAN. We have mentioned
the death OF the klnE of siam, am the corona =
ton Of his son. Soon after the event great
preparations were made for burning the body
of the old King, which was carried INTO effect
in the following manner:
a quadrangulnr range of buildings, 400
feet each side Of the square, was erected. In
the centre of that, Il spacious temple, l-i feet
i'll diameter, lowered up with It's nlnc-stoned
splre to a height OF at least 81 feet.-Four
immense pillars of the woo1-oll tree, each a sen
(l3O feet long, were planted in the centre to
sustain this Splre. Between these rose a lesser
splrc. full one hundred feet, however. Be,
tween the four pillars Of this inner structure
rose the plat orln and throne, on which were
deposited the remains of his Majesty IN golL

base, and rising twenty-five feet in n stnried
pyramldal form, was entirely overlaid with the
rich red gold of the country, in weight four
picuiS, lis value SI13,G00. The richness of rs
appearance was beyond description, and all
was in exquisite taste.
At each corner Of the great quadrangle and
midway on lis sides, were lesser temples. fac
slnlIes OF the centre one, their spires but 100
feet high. The roofs and walls and spires
all were covered with an imitation of oldinr
made by rubbing gamboge and oil over thin
sheets of an alloy of tin and lead. The por
geousness of the cooring, the number and
beauty fthe spires and stored roofs. the pro-
fuse ornaments, hosts of poles for the frc-trees,
the nine and twelve stored, gllded and painted
chats, made the whole look like q scene of en-

The exercises were kept up for fortnight.

The Outrage on the Crescent City.

Capt. Porter at New Orleans, has made
public statement Of the proceedings connected
with the arrival of the Crescent City at lIavunl
When the steamer was approaching the harbor
she was met at the mouth by the boarding Off
GERS who slgnallzed her not to attempt to enter
These signals were dsreglrled, and the
steamer proceeded without a pilot to the an
chorage.-They wore boarded by the officers,
who, finding the name Of Purscr smith on the
ships papers, produced an order from the Cap
tain General, enionlng Captain Porter to leave
port Immediately. This order Captain 2. re-
fused to obey, caiming the night to land his
mails and passengers. He also sent a protest
to the Captain General, who declined TO re-
ceve any communication from Capt r. ex.
cept through the American Consul, who hap.
pened at the time to be absent from his post.
In the meantime the order was repeated for
the Crescent City to leave the port imue-
diately.
Finding further par!ey unavailable, Captain
Porter put to sea at 7 O'clock IN the evening -
The protest Is an able and manly document,

commanding separate forts, are responsible, n
all times, for their defence, and are bound tt
use due precautiun to avoid danger If bod,
of armed men approach Sullvans Island witt
apparently hostile views, it will be proper tt
pursue the course indicated by you to Coonc
| Bankheaj. That is, to warn their commlndinn
officer to retire, and to inform him of the course
which you will be compelled to adopt in the
event of his continued approach. Should this
warning be useless. and the armed body attempt
to land, you will be justified in res sing such
attempt. Bm before his unfortunate Mterna-
tue is resorted to, / rely upon yom dt,ioiS0,
and dScriion to endc0uor, BY aN reasonable
and peaceabie means, to induce nny such armed
body TO obdndOn their ente prise The subject
is committed to you, in the full conviction, that
while you discharge your duty as an officer,
you will be mindful Of the great dclicacy of the
subject, and Of the anxiety to the President to
avoid. if possible, resort to force But what
ever the first rights of self.defence require,
must be done, should u case occur involving
such a question.
Your order to Col. Twigr7 was right, in the
event of his being compelled to abandon his
post. But before the receipt of your letter,
while we were here in much anxiety about the
arsenal at Augusta, and had not learned the
prudent measures taken by you for It's Defence
Col, Twiggs was directed to defend hnsgl IT,
II attacked. to the last extremity. In such case,
your officer must reject all other consideration :,
and maintain his position as long as he has the
means of resistance. 1t would certainly be
better to destroy the arms and ammunition in
the arsenal than they should fall into the hands
of any assalants, But that is result do not
suffer myself to anticipate while so valuable an
4 -,
supported by an adequate garrison.
The course you have directed respecting
those officers, if any there may be who hest
tate in their allegiance to their country in the
hour of trial and peril, meets the entire appro-
baton of the President. tlattct myself that
none such will be found; but # there are, they
should be Immediately known, when their cas-
es will become a subject Of special consdrra-
ton. When received your letter rcSpe, ting
- - and -- -, directed
General Maconb to order Col. Bankhead to
call upon all the officers under him, who had
not already done it, to take the oath of ale
glance. and to sign the rules an ar i;ics of war.
Since writing the above paragraph, | learn,
on inquiry, that the directions gave respect
ing the oath of allegiance, were omitted to be
carried into effect. | have renewed the order.
will thank you to report any facts which may
come to Your knowledge, tending to show that,
upon the great question of duty, any officer has
embraced views which wou!d probably unit
him for the performance of any trust which
might be rcpo'cd in him; and you are at llher-
~ to order from South Carolina, or lis borders,
any such officer.

is doing exceedinly well. as may be seen from
the following statement of its earnings in June,
July and August of 1850, 1851 and 1852
For the three 1850. 1851. 1852
months S54676, 20. $763l7,55. $l32,lOs,-
&C. Showing gain in 1852 O! I45 per cent.
over 1850, and Of IS per cen. over 1851. By
the last report the gross earnings fer the year
ending May 1852, was 1921, $50 ,G3, or nearly
per cent. VI on the whole cost of $i,Sl7,40l.
As will be noticed, the earnings Of the first
qnarter of last year were $7G,3l7, or abou' 23
per cent of the earnings Of the year. The
earnings Of the first quarter OF 1852 (beguing
June lst) being Sl32 lQS,G6, the earnings OF
the whole year cannot run below ?5UO,0OO, il
We take the same percentage for basis IT
calculation. This will be more than 10 rer
c, nt upon the whole cost Of the road. All
that the Rutland, and the Central also, (as far
as business is cOnccrncd) is a Withdrawal OF
that killing competition between them that pre-
vents either road from obtaining living prices
on certain classes of business. This course
must be pursued, TO insure the large profitable-
ness of either In the mean time, the Rutland
is earning more than enough to pay all It's div
idends on preferred stock, and its interest on
bonds and floating debt; and it woulj not be
surprising If the accounts o. the present year
showed small surplus of profits over aud
above interest and expenses OF every kind
The above figures are conclusive as to the ex-
ceIlence of the mortgage bonds of the Rutland
tor permanent investment.
