the expulsion of the Tartars, and, consequently in
the success of the Chinese insurgents.
To show the changes in the dynastes which
have ruled the Chinese empire, and to give some
idea of the great antiquity Of the nation, we have
prepared the following table Of Imperial Dynasties,
taken from the best authorities and showing sue
cession of two hundred and twenty one sovereigns,
extending over period of more than four thousand
years. Before Confucius, $3.50 B. CO. China had no
authors much less an historian, SO that his own
annals were transmitted by tradition, through
course of two thousand years. "Under such Cir
cumstances" says the Rev. Mr.. Gutzaf, an excellent
modern writer on China, "what correctness can we
expect even after the most laborious researches!
On these annal, however, the antiquity OF the
Chinese empire is founded with as much claim to
our belief as might be accorded to an English writer
OF the present day, who should sit down to compose
the history Of the ancient Brtons before the invasion
Of the Romans, and not only give the names of their
kings but also repeat the speeches they uttered in
council or the debates of their Druidcal assemblies.
We therefore consider the history previous to Yaou,
(2237 B. C.,) as fabuous from thence to Confuoius,
$3.50 B. ca as uncertain; from Confucius to the
Sung Dynasty, CA. D. 960) it may be deemed
as correct as that Of Greece; and since that period
it is fully authenticated"
Chinese authors divide their history by the several
dynasties. They may be comprised under the fol
lowing general divisions
First-Ancient history, from the commencement
of the Hea Dynasty, 10 the conclusion Of the Han
Dynasty, (2207 B. c. to A. D. $685.
Second-Middle ages, from the Tsin Dynasty to
the Yuen Dynasty, CA. D. 264 to 1867
Third-Modern history, from the Ming Dynasty to
the present time, CA. d. 1868 to 1859

Trade.
From the tenor and drift Of the debate
in the British House Of Lords, which we
published yesterday. it is very evident that
Her Majesty's government intend to make the
suppression of the African slave trade with the
island of Cuba, serious matter. Thus far the
Queen Mother, Christina and her agents in this
piratical traffic, have laughed at and defed al
remonstrances and complaints against the n.
and their open violation of the law which mo Ses
Spain party to the declaration that this Afri-
can slave trade shall be considered and tr Gated
as piracy Now, the Queen Mother is admo-
nished that unless this piratical bus ness ia
stopped in Cuba. in the event of any .sunder-
standing between Spain and the Unite d States
putting in jeopardy the Spanish sovs ,reignty of
the island England will be dispose to remain
neutral and to permit quietly tho ABSORPTION
of Cuba by Brother Jonathan.
The probability of the immedia g strengthen.

the coasts of Cuba, gives pee aliar pangency
to this debate of the British L ords and n,aces

THE New HAMPSHIRE DEMOCRACY AND THE AD-
INTERCHANGEABLE letter of our Concord cores
pendent, explanatory Of the proceedings of the
late New Hampshire Democratic State Conven-
ton. and which we publish to-day, we commend
to the attentive perusal of our democratic poll
ticians and especially the hard shells 1t appears
that Mr.. Burke was not elected President of the
Convention after having introduced his resolu-
tion virtually censuring the administration in
regard to the distribution of the spoils, but that
he introduced the resolution after his election
to the chair. This makes very material differ
ence from the case as represented in our lead
ing article of Saturday last. The mistake,
however. is chargeable to our telegraphic re-
port, upon the assumed correctness Of which we
based our observations But, although his
election to the chair failed to tranquilze Mr..
Burke. we think that his resolution, in the long
run, will do no harm. As timely admonition.
it may do some good. The hard shells have
had hard time of it but they are not all dead
yet. The end is yet to come Let the admins
tration look to the end. Nothing like a good
forty-foot telescope.
COOP SIGN--We understand that one dav
last week there was not a single member of
Congress left in Washington-not one This is
a good sign, for we take it az an indication that
the work of dividing the spols is substantially
finished; for where the carcase is, there will be
the buzzards also. Never, we venture to saw
have we had more demoralizing spectacle
than this Congressional Office begging, which
the country has been called to witness since the
fourth Of March. Senators and members of the
House have usurped the powers of the execu-
tive, and have claimed the right and have been
unwisely permitted to exercise it in too many
cases ofparcellng out the share of the good
les" due to their respective States. down even
to the pettiest clerkships at Washington. And
five have not been misnformed there have
been cases in which members of Congress. de-
scending to the most pitiful hucksteriap oftheir
influence with the President and cabinet have
used that influence in procuring Offices for Tom.
Dick and Harry. LII this view of the subject.
we are gratifed to hear that our honorablesn
are pretty well cleaned out of Washington.
WAKING UP AT LAsT.--For the last twenty
years or so the railroad (of forty milcs) be-
tween Baltimore and Washington has been pro-
nounced an extortionate monopoly By all who
have travelled over it. We believe the fare
for long time over this road all through the
miscrably POOR country which IL traverses, was
