1t appears by statistical statement, pub
ished in the Friend Of China, in Decem-
Der last that during three months of last
year, four hundred and one celestials were
put to death, in Canton. The beheading is
performed with the sword in very dexter
Gus manner. The executioner forces the
head of the culprit backward by tagging at
his long tail, and when the neck is thus ex-
exposed, the heavy sharp blade whistles
through the air and the head is severed from
the body at a single blow. Sometimes as
many as sixty or seventy felons are arranged
in row, and the executioner passes along
the hne, looping off head after head as if
they were so many cabbages.

A TRUE BROTHER.

You're rich and yet you are not proud,
You are not selfish, hard and vain
You look upon the common crowd
With sympathy, and not disdain;
You'd travel far to share your gold
With humble sorrow unconsoled:
You'd raise the orphan from the dust,
And help the cad and widowed mother;
Give me your hand--you shall-you must
love you as brother.
You're poor, and yet you do not scorn
The wealthy for their wealth.
You toll contented night and morn,
And praise the gift of strength and health;
You'd share your little with friend.
And what you cannot give you'd lend,
You take humanity on trust,
And see moro merit In another;
Give me your hand-you shall-you must
love you as a brother.
And what care how rich you be?
love you ii your thoughts are pure;
What signifies your poverty,
Ii you can ct1ugge and endure?
lis not the birds that makes the spring;
IT'S not the crown that makes the king
Ii you are wise, and good, and just,
You've riches better than ell other;
Give me your hand-you shall--you must
| love you as 4 brother

Mrs. Stowe has arrived in England, but
the late mails by the Humboldt brought no
accounts of the speeches and professions ex-
pected on the occasion. The Duchess of
Sutherland was at court where the Queen
has been making an addition to John Bulls
free-list in the usual way. Meanwhile the
sale of her book continues. One hundred
editions Of ten thousand copies each have
been issued and the European public who
never saw (black) slave, is still unsatisfied.
Such a fact cannot be accounted for either
on the literary pretensions of the book it.
self, or on the abolitionist idea of an active
hostility to negro slavery. a more proba-
ble explanation is, tha: the people Of Eu-
rope see themselves and their rulers in the
slaves and their masters, and give to the
book political significance which feeds the
fame that shoulders in the breast of tie op-
pressed millions. The press is not free
there-no book advocating the general dog
mas, (all true enough if the distinction be-
tween the black and white races was out of
the question in Mrs Stoves novel, could
be written by an European without incur
ring severe penaities--and that fact gives
spice to the allegory which they make of
Uncle Toms Cabin. The book will never
have any effect on slavery in the United
States because it is all nonsense, so far as ne
groes and Caucasians are concerned-but it
may, in the manner we have stated, produce
very distinct and decided effect upon af-
fairs in Europe. The great battle there of
hereditary rulers and bondsmen, between,
whom no natural difference exists, which
must come some time. may be accelerated
by this foolish fiction and the Earl of
Shaftesbury. with his titled co-adjutors,
will find too late that the blow which they
aimed at America, has recoilcd upon them
selves with terrific energy.

GOLD VS.. HAT-The Ohio Farmer, in COM
menting upon the letter Of California cores
pondent, makes some very sensible remarks about
the mania which has possessed the people of this
country to forsake the golden fields Of their own
State 10 dig in the "gold ields'' of California,
where they often gather more disappointment
than produce. The Farmer says:
1t has ever been our opinion, that the ultimate
prosperity of California, or any other State, must
be influenced more by It's adaptation to agrIcul~
tural pursuits than by any or all the gold mines
that have been or may be found therein. There
can be no sort of doubt but that the greatest
source of wealth which California possesses, is
found IN the rich valleys, table lands, and noun
tain slopes SO graphically described by Fremont,
and now so ably noticed by Mr.. Kelley. When
these resources are developed, as they will be
very soon, the gold dggings and quartz rock, will
sink into comparative lnsgni6cance. Look at It.
1t is said that the yield Of gold from the California
mines, for the cursent year, will reach the cnor-
nous sum of fifiy-6ve or sixty millions OF dollars!
An enormous sum, truly; and yet we venture to
say, that the value of the hay crop, alone, of the
State of New York, will fully equal it! Six
counties of that State, produced in 1850, $50 900
tous of hay, which, at 81 per ton, would be &c.
230, 900. This they do, year after year, with
gradual increase; and yet how few are seen rush.
ing 10 the meadows OF Oneida, Jefferson, Che
mango, Delaware, Chautauque, or ST. Lawrence!
The wheat and corn fields of Ohio, produce
annually, more dollars than the gold mines of
California. Yet there is no noise made about ii;
and instead Of thousands rushing to them, in the
hope of growing suddenly rich, thousands have
been fleeing from them, in search of gold--gold
gold.
We hazard nothing in saying, that had the emf
grants 10 California, since the discovery Of gold
there, gone, instead to the rich lands of our
Western States, they could have produced double
the amount of all the gold dug from the mines of
that Ell Dorado. The capitaI necessary to put
man in working condition in the California mines,
would have settled him comfortably on an eighty
acre lot IN Iowa, in good cabin, with a team,
farming utensils, provisions, &C.. and insured
him, instead of chance for little gold, the
certainty of an independent position for life,wh-
out the sacrifice of home, friends, health morals,
and indeed all that men should esteem valuable
in life
Thank Heaven, the "gold mania" is in its de-
cadence, and the tire is near when it will be
and known that every ounce of gold dust
dug from the California mines, has cost twice its
market value.
