The PREsBYTERIAN ASSEMBLY Buffalo,
May 31.-The slavery question is still under discus.
sion in the Presbyterian Assembly. The committee
modified their report by recommending that the pres.
hyteries in the slaveholding States, answer inqur-
les respecting the number OF Shareholders in the
churches, &C., instead Of appointing commission
TO make the inquiry. The farther agitation of the
subject was violently opposed by Southern delegates
and II was declared plainly that every Southern
Presbylery had resolved to secede il the report was
adopted. nthe other hand, the Western delegates
declared that all the Western presbyteries would
withdraw if no action was taken. Great excitement
ensued, but The report Of the committee, as modified
was finally adoped-yeas 76, nays 3S. The South.

The CHINESE REBELLIoN.-A letter from
Messrs. Augustine Heard & Co., dated Shanghae,
Mach II, contains the following information:
Cuisines OF all kinds hasbeen stopped for sew
eral days. The late successes of the rebels and the
probability Of their capturing Nankn, have created
so great panic among the Chinese that many have
left the province; capital has been Withdrawn from
trade, aud the bankers in this city and Soochow
have closed their offices for the present. Goods Of
all kinds unsaleable, it being unsafe to carry
them through the country, aud produce IS also at a
stand as Chinese will only sell for cash, which for.
eigners cannot pay. The Of this state
of things is severely felt by all.
Contractors for silk goods could not complete their
engagements, and refused to under take TO deliver
them until the country was tranquil"
The following is an extract from letter from
Messrs. Russell s. Co dated at Shaaghae, March
18th.
''Aiter few transitory successes, the Imperial
forces were driven back upon Nankia, and the reb.

The Plurality Law.

The Egs Of Wednesday, LIST inst, while speak
ing of the Constitutional Convention says:-
rThis body has been engaged, during the week
past chiefly the discussion Of the Plurality ques-
ton Appearances indicate that the report Of the
Committee recommending the adoption Of the Plu.
ralty rule in all elections, will be voted .dowu by
force OF party discipline. What Constitution we
shall have il framed for party purposes"
Now, in ls49 and 1850, when the Plurality ques-
ton was discussed in the Leg stature, the Wings,
with very few exceptions, were against il, and ar
gued and voted in favor Of the malrity principle
In the Constitutional Convention they are all but
unanimous for plurality, and they make it strlct
party question. Ii is notorious 6ct that the most
eminent and talented Wing in the Convention is il
favor Of the majority system, and ready speak
in It's favor few days ago, when, "ty the force Of
party discipline he was compelled to hold his
tongue and stiAe his convictions.
The Wing State Committee in their address,
which was issued previous to the election OF dele.
gates to the Constitutional Convention, were very
pathetic in their appeals 10 the people to renounce
all party issues, and subdue all parizan feelings in
connection with said election. They protested to
have abjured all party pariiaties in the matter
But the action Of the Committee, and the Wing par.
~ generally, at the election showed how much sim
certy there was in the ''no party'' dodge.
The Wings in the Legislature repealed the secret
ballot law, in the hope that their party would gain
power in the Convention by their doing and
they are in favor of the plurality law, because
they have got the foolish idea into their heads that
the plurality system will establish their party once
more ia power. The whole aim and action of the
Wings, both in the Legislature and in the Conven-
tion, have been Of the most unmtigaled patty char
acer. The Esis knows this, and yet it turns up it's
eyes in affected horror at the idea OF the plurality
system being rejeced by ''the force Of party disci-
pline." The Wings peculiar morasts. They
remind us Of the clergyman out West who used to
preach the most rigid doctrines while he pracsed
rather loose manners. When taken to task, by his
parishoners, for The discrepancy between his prac.
tice and his profession, he the matter short by

A YOUTHFUL CUvIER.-We call attention TO
the fact that Cincinnati is furnish to the scienti-
fc world one Of the most accomplished naturasts
of the day.
We have for some time past been much inter-
ested in young man, native of this city, named
w. II. b. Thomas. There is nothing pTepossesSimg
in his appearance; the ccntrary-excepting a
good eye--he carries external that might tempt
one, de j~e, to indict Dams Nature for libel Meet

specimens, the somhre hue of his linen advertising
the death Of his washerwoman, he would most likely
be taken for country lad from the hoop-pole region,
who had yenlured trip on the canal, in search Of
the terra incognita ''town."
We first knew Thomas as newspaper carrier,
in '4S; his unusual knowledge of botany, geology,
and zoology, was then the remark of all. Soon af.
ter this, he obtained employment as an assistant
teacher in one of our Schools at salary that barely
sutced 20 buy meal and Goals for his aged mother.
We met him again in the spring Of '5l, at the Gin.
cinnat meeting OF the American Association for the
advancement of science. In the proceedings Of this
body, he took interest that surprised all, whose
observation was drawn by his eager listening, and
large collections of minerals, plants, and fossils
Here he attracted the attention of Professor Beard
ana Professor fenry, OF the SIM -hsonlan Institute.
We afterwards met him on Mound street in this city,
in the shop of Mr. Mckinley, another humble, hot
enthusiastic devotee of science, of whom the world
will yet take note, who had just finished with his
own hands and rude tools, powerful telescope that
Thomas was criticising.
For some months past, We had seldom met with
our eccentric friend; but we encountered him late
last evening, at the Little Miami Railroad depol-a
