ATTACK UPON A VESSEL By SAvAGEs.-
A late San Francisco paper states that
the brig Rosa, while on trading voyage
among the South Pacific Islands, was at.
tackled at Tauroa, by savages, and the
captain and several of the crew murdered
1t seems that the natives, of whom a
large number had been admitted on board
the vessel, commenced a simultaneous
attack upon the crew of the brig, killing
or overpowering six of their number, and
forcing the survivors to seek refuge in the
cabin. They there procured arms and
ammunition, ard succeeded in shooting
several natives from the skylight. The
crew finally left their place of refuge, and
after sharp conflict, succeeded in over
powering the natives-driving most of
them overheard. On the deck were found
the lifeless bodies of Jacamo Ferreo, the
captain; Emanuel Pancho, boatswain ;
VIM. Speen, cooper; and Samuel Bolls,
a seaman. There were also missing
having been either thrown overheard or
carried away by the savages-Charles
Terminus, the chief mate: Henry Wilson.
seaman-both Americans. Other of the
men received severe injuries. MIR. Mai
den, the second mate, upon whom the
command of the brig devolved, bore the
vessel up for Sydney, where she arrived.

POPULATION OF CHINA, &C.-The fol-
lowing statistics relating to the internal
condition of China Proper are taken from
the statistical chart of new work by
Mr.. L. Montgomery Martin, late her
Britannic Majesty's treasurer for the COL
onial, consular, and diplomatic services
in China, and member of the Legislative
Council at Hong Kong:
In China Proper, it appears that there
are 367 ,632, ,907 inhabitants, and in the
dependencies of Mantchsoria, Mongolia,
Turkistan, Thiret, &C., about 40 600 900,
making total Of 400,000,000 of people
under one government. The population
on each square mile is 2S3, and the acre
in square miles is ,297 .999. The guam
tity of land is estimated at S3O, $40, 100
English acres, of which 14l ,119, ,347 is
under cultivation. The lax tax realises
q ,S54,023 taels Of silver: the salt reve-
nue., 4,61S,S taels; and other duties
99l ,O92 taels.
The total fixed revenue of the provin-
ces is 35,0l6,023 taels, of which sum
22,455, ,573 taels, and 3,42S.9 shih of
rice "a shih being about $50 lbs avoir-
dupois) are transmitted to the imperial
treasury, whilst 5,569,329 taels remain
in the provinces. The standing army
and militia number ,232 900 men. The
table from which the above statistics are
taken is prepared from various authori-
ties, the greater portion having been
furnished in China, and translated from
the official records. With respect to the
density of the population, DIR. Gutzlaff
and other Chinese scholars consider the
census to be correct. The population is
most dense along the banks of great
rivers, particularly near the great Yang
tye-kong, and the central district of the
country, where the waters furnish large
supplies Of food. The very great fecun-
dity of the Chinese is visible in the
smallest village. The natural produc-
tons of the various provinces include
every description of meal, as well as al
most every known article of merchandise.

Wuman's Rights.

The balance Of wrongsis decidedly
on the side of men. When the sim 4
pie question Of superiority is at is
sue-the men always have to give
up. If ladies and gentlemen meet
on the sidewalk, who has to turn QUIT
If there are not seats enough for all
the company, who has to stand up?
When there is danger to face, who
must go forward? If there is Curl
osity to crafty, who gets behind? -
IF there is too much company for
the first table, who cats at the sect
ond? Who has always the right
hand, and the most respectable posi-
ton? We could mention a hundred
other eases, in which, on the simple
question Of right, everything is yield
ed to- the woman.
But there are many cases in which
the condition of men is still worse.
For instance, il, on any public 6c-
casion, a pew at a church or seat
anywhere be occupied by men ever
50 respectable or aged; a smirl4y little
beauty trips along and presents her
self at the top Of the seat, apd they
must all jump up and clear out as if
they had been shot. Especially
ought it to be noticed, that when
matrimonial negotiations are to be
made, the whole burden Of perform
ing the delicate and often very en-
barrassing part of making proposals
IS thrown upon N the men, while the
women sit and say no, no, no, no, as
long as they like, and never say yes,
until they have mind to.

Coffee

Here are some facts worth know
Ing. Read and ponder them we'll
TIL generality of families make their
coffee too weak, and use too much
sugar, which often causes it to turn
acid On the stomach. Almost every
housekeeper has a peculiar method
of making coffee; but it never can be
excellent unless it be made strong Of
the berry. And make it as you
will, sweet or bitter, unless it is
properly roasted, it viii be a misera-
hle, unwholesomf beverage If it be
underdone, its virtues will not be
impaired, and in use it will load and
Cypress the stomach; if it be over
done it yields fat, burnt and bitter
taste; its virtues will be destroyed,
and in use, it will heat the body, and
act as an astringent. The closer it
is confined at the time Of roasting,
and till used, the better viii its vola-
tile puagency, flavor and virtues be
preserved. Count Rumf3rd, a gen
ileman Of science, taste, skill, judg-
ment and ability, to say the truth,
says: 'Cohee may be toe bitter : but
il is impossible thu It it should ever.
be too fragrant. The very smell of.
it is r6viving, and has often been
found to be useful to sick persons,
and to those who are aiili bted with
the htadhehe. In short, ev cry thing
proves That the volatile arom attic mat
fer, whatever it may be, Il at gives
flavor to coffee, is what is most val
liable III it, and should be preserved
with the greatest care, al d that in
estimating the strength or richness
Of that beverage, its lragranfe should

a spade, and at blow struck off his
tail. The dog sprang over the gan
