brated among the ancient oriental nations for carry
ing many things to perfection, and no pursuit was
cultivated by the Egyptians with more assiduity
and success than commerce. 1t is certain that some
of the most valuable manufactures were invented
and perfected in Egypt long before they were known
in other countries. 1t has been thought that the
Chinese received at an early period some of their
institutions and habits from the Egyptians.
The PhGnecians have been called "the Yankees
of antiquity" Certainly, they were the most enter
prising commercial people Of their times The coun-
try called Phenecia situated the coast of the
Mediterranean sea to the northwest of Canaan, and
TO the southwest Of Syria. The territory was but
small and was at first divided into several ndepen-
dent states The two largest cities were Tyre and
Sdon. Old Tyre was situated on the main land, and
withstood siege for thirteen years. by Nebuchad-
nezzar, king Of Babylon. Ultimately it was taken;
but the people of Tyre, having the command Of the
sea, removed themselves and their property before
Nebuchadnezzar could take possession of the place.
The TyriaDs afterwards returned and built New
Tyre, which was little distance from the land, and
was founded on rock about three miles in crcumfer-
ence. This new city was besieged by Alexander the
Great, and was taken, with great slaughter, after

The Pheneeians of Tyre were remarkable fortheir

contained in the twentyseventh chapter Of the pro-

In the dim recess of thy spirits chamber
Is there some hidden grief thou mayst not

Let not thy heart forsake thee; but re-

God knows it all
And art thou tossed on billows of temptation
And wouldst do good, but evil oft prevails:
Oh, think amidst the waves of tribulation,
When earthly hopes, when earthly refuge
God knows it all
And dost thou sin thy deed of shame con-

In some dark spot no human eye can see
Then walk in pride without one sigh re-
vealing
The deep remorse that should disquiet
God knows it all
Art thou oppressed and poor and heavy
hearted,
The heavens above thee in thick clouds
arrayed,
And well-nigh crushed no earthly strength
impaired,
No friendly voice to say, Be not afraid /"

Art thou mourner' are thy tear drops
flowing
For one too early lost to earth and thee
The depths ofgriefno human spirit knowing,
Which moan in secret like the moaning sea-
God knows it all!
Dost thou look back upon life of SHINING ?
Forward, and tremble for thy future lot ?

The tear of penitence is unforgot.

TIE INSURGENTS IN NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. TO
TRADE-EURoPEAN INTERVENTION.
From the LoI don Times April 2S
We have long abstained from introducing to the
readers of this Journal on onr own authority, any
descriptive or speculative exposition of the revolu-
ton which for some years past has been CONFUSING
the vast empire Of China. To the mystery, indeed,
naturally attending all the internal transactions Of
that remote and enormous territory was added, in
the present case, an almost total ignorance of the
origin or object OF the contest. Reports and rumors
in endless succession apprsed as that the imperial
troops were constantly encounterng bodies of armed
rebels with worse better fortune, in this that
province Of the kiGgdom but such was the obscu-
rty in which the proceedings were envel0ped, that,
up to very recent date, large section of the
British residents in the Chinese dominions, inoll-
ding especially those in the vicinity of Naakn were
disposed to regard the whole affair of material
consequence to the government or commerce of the
empire. different view of the case was taken by
our country men mt Hongkong, and, as il now APP
pears, upon better grounds.
This great rebellion OF the Chinese commenced
some years ago in the southern provinces of Quang-
see and Quangtong, and it was probably from their
proximity TO these scenes that the Hongkong resi-
dents enabled to appreciate the Importance of
the Instruction. With what views or in what cir.
cumstances the disturbance originated we cannot
satisfactorily ascertain but there appears doubt
that the first insurgents were natives Of the two pro-
vinces above mentioned, and that they have Con
tnued ever since 10 form the strength and nucleus
Of the rebel army. The districts in question have
always mantalneda peculiar character for the cou-
rage ierocity, and INSTRUMENTATION of their inhabi-
tants, nor have we ourselves been without some ex-
perence OF these qualities under the walls of Canton
For some time tue neghborhood Of this city was re-
presented the principal scene Of the civil war.
and we inclined, indeed TO believe that the most
eectual opposition offered TO the rebel forces was at
this spot. Gradually, however, they appear to have
gained tie ascendency over the imperial troops and
10 have advanced to the northeast, in the direction
Of Nankn
