A CHINESE CoNvENT.-At Ningpo, in
China, is situated the convent of Bon
zesses, which Mons. Hausman, all attache
of the French embassy, in spite of his
quality as barbarian, was permitted to
visit. He says:-'It is just to say, how
ever, that our visit was, at first very coldlv
received by the lady mother, who was
dressed in a shabby grey mantle, with
black t0que on her head. But, after a
while, she grew affable enough, and in
PRODUCED US into the establishment The
laughing and good-natured nuns all wore
dresses of coarse material. Some were
Of agreeable features, but these poor girls
were all bare-headed and closely shaver.
The sisters Of Ningpo are dedicated to
the service of Kwaine, Goddess of Mercy.
According to the rules of the order, they
are obliged, when once their vows arc
pronounced, to live in modification and
abstinence, to give themselves up to de-
votion, to isolate themselves from the
world, to eat only vegetables, and to
eschew strong liquors; Notwithstanding
all of which, public rumor accuses the
superior Of indulging freely her passion
for spirituous drinks, and of tolerating
the greatcot improprieties in her convent.
1t appears that religion in China is like
the philosophical laws and precepts-its
practice is ut great distance from it's
principles"

DAILY EVENING STAR.
The Honest Boy, or the Shilling and the
Guinea.

Some time ago the Duke of Buccleueh
in one Of his walks, purchased a cow
from a person in the neighborhood of
Dalkeith, and left orders to send it to
his palace the following morning; accord
ing TO agreement the cow was sent, and
the Duke happened to be in dishabille,
and walking In the avenTc espied a little
fellow Intellectually attempting to drive
the animal forward to its destination.-
The boy not knowing the duke, bawled
out to him:
"Flimum, come here, an gie's han
wi this beast.
The duke saw the mistake, and deter
mined ON having joke with the little
fellow pretending, therefore, not to I'M
stand him, the duke walked on slowly,
the boy still craving his assistance; at
last he cried in tone of apparent distress.
"Come here, mum, an help us, an as
sure as any thing I'll give you half get?"
The last solicitation had the desired
effect. The duke went and lent helping
hand.
And now," said the duke as they
trudged along, {" how much do you think
yell get for this job!"
"Oh, dinna KEN" said the boy, "but
I'm sure of something, for the folk up at
the house are good to a. bodies"
As they approached the house, the duke
darted from the boy and entered by diff
ferent way. He called servant and put
a sovereign into his hand, saying, "Give
that to the boy that has brought the
cow. The duke returned to the avenue,
and was soon rejOined by the boy.
"Well, how much did you get 2" said
the duke.
a shilling" said the boy, land there's
the half of it t'ye."
But you surely got more than shil-
ling said the duke
No" said the boy, with the utmost
earnestness, las sure's death that's a. l
got-an' dye no. think it's plenty"
g do not, +" said the duke; ''there must
be some MISTAKE. and as | am acquainted
with the duke, if you return, think I'll
get you more"
The boy consented-back they went;
the duke rang the bell, and ordered all the
servants to be assembled.
Now" said the duke to the boy,
point me out the person that gave you
the shilling"
1t was that chap there with the
apron" pointing to the butler.
The delinquent confessed, fell on his
knees, and attempted an apology; but the
duke interrupted him, Indignantly order
ed him to give the boy the sovereign, and
quit his service instantly.
You have lost" said the duke, "your
money, your situation, and your charac-
ter, by your covetousness; learn, hence
forth, that honesty is the best policy"
The boy by this time recognizedhis as
sistant in the person of the duke, and the
duke was so delighted with the sterling
worth and honesty of the boy, that he
ordered him to be sent to school, kept
there and provided for at his own ex-
penSe.

MANUFA cT'URE OF FRANcIs's METALLIC LIFE
B OATS Humble in its com mencement, the manu-.
facture of Franciss metallic boats has attained an
importance that now concern the whole coun-
try-every steam vessel carrying passengers being
obliged, under the new Steamboat law, to carry
one or more of thenn-and q company of capital
lists have nearly completed extensive works at
Green Point for the manufacture of these boats, in
which is invested s $50 600. The main building
is 1879 feet in length by lis feet wide, having two
spacious hoors, and will furnish constant employ
ment for between two hundred and three hundred
men. The roof is of galvanized iron. The Fran
chs Metallic Life. boat Company have purchased the
entire right of Mr.. Francis for this country; and
though building boats at the rate of three thousand
per annum, is incompetent TO fully supply the de.
mand. The late Steamboat law has had tenden-
cy to greatly increase their manufacture, for the
supply of Western lakes and rivers, and their
general introduction must be instrumental in
saving many lives. The Government is ordering
them for all the surf-stations and Lighthouses on
our; coast, and dies are now making for the manu-
facture of whale boats which are of late much
asked for. Some of the lines of English steamers
have been furnished with Francis's boats, and or
ders have been received from Portugal, Peru,
Denmark, and Sicily-the latter country having
adopted them for the service of the navy. They
are more buoyant than wooden boats, are fire and
worm proof, and will not corrode rot. *
In the original manufacture OF iron boats, the
great difficulty to overcome was to have the plates
sufficiently thin, and still retain the required de-
gree of stiffness. This was obviated by plating or
corrugating the sheets of metal of which the sides
of the boats are made The machinery for maxi
ing the corrugation consists of a hydraulic press
and set of enormous dies, shaped like the boat to
be made, and grooved to fit each other. The plate
of iron being placed within them, is pressed into
the requisite form. In the new works just alluded
to the PRESS With the dies, weighs forty tons.
The hydraulic pumps worked by steam-en-
CINE in an adjoining building The pressure
erted by this press is than thousand tons,

REPRESENTATIONS OF THE NAvY.-A report, ac-
companied by bill, was presented in the Senate
yesterday, (Tuesday,) by Mr.. Stockton, from the
Naval Committee, proposing reorganization Of
the navy of the United States. 1t recommends
retired list indispensable to the efficiency of the
service, and deprecates promotion by seniority of
commission without regard to other considerations.
1t holds that as officers in command are sometimes
required to compete with the highest professional
talent of Europe, and to exercise gr eat discretion
in the protection of our commercial marine, they
Ahould be selected with proper regard for their
suitability to such command. 1t approves of the
ranks of commander, lieatenants commanding,
and second lieutenants, but suggests the abolish.
ment of the grade of masters and passed rnidship-
men. For the seamen it recommends such in
crease Of pay as will approximate the amount pa i'd
by the com mercial marine, and proposes rewards
OF merit, besides opening the way to promotion o
the sailor boy whose conduct is worthy of it.
