How CANADA OBTAINED ITS NAMa.-
The origin Of the word Canada is curious
enough. The Spaniards visited thai coun-
try previous 10 Tho French, and mada
particular searcoqs for gold and siyer,and
6nding none, they often sang among
'hemselv $, "Aca nada," 0here is moth.
ing here.) The Indians watched
closely-learncd this sentence and It's
meaning. The French arrived; and tie
lndians--who wanted none Il :heir GEM
pany, and supposed they also were Span
iards, come on tho same errand were
anxious to inform them them Of The Span.
ISL sentence --.Aca nada.' Tie Fiencll.
who knew as little Of tho Spanish as tho
Indians, supposed this necessarily recur>
ring sound was the name Of the country,
and gave i the name Of Canada which
il has borne ever since.

Mob In Cincinnati Attempt Of the Free
men to Hang the Nuncio.

Last night about ] o'clock, The watch
,nfn on duty at the Ninth street Station
House, Iiayiag received information thar
the Freemen's Socieiy, we're on the way
to Bishop Purcell's house, for the pur.
pose of committing some act Of violence
on NJ. Bedini, the Nuncio Of the Pope,
they repaired 10 the corner Of Ninth and
Plum, and meta body Of some 1000
men, armed with clubs, swords, knives,
pistols, otc., and carrying torcbes--ic
burn Me church, ropes 10 hang the Nuns
clio, and all in grCatsta,e ofexci,smeni.
They were promptly met BY the police,
and after short melee, we're finally dis
persed, the police succeeded in making
some fifty or sixty arrests.
Henry Canoll, watchman IN the second
ward, was shot through the high, by one
OF The rioters, and many others made mar
roS escapes.
From those arrested il was learned
thatihey had met, organized, armed, and
formed into procession, for the expres:
purpose Of hanging NJ Bedini, the Pope.
Nuncio, burning The Cathedral, &c.
fit had not been stopped al The time
il was, the consequences might have in
doed been fearful.
In the confusion attending Il, il was
almost impossible 10 CLEAN any reliGbl,
information from pny one. The genera
opinion, however, was lha: they woulc
return und make an attack on the waicl
house, for the purpose of rescuing those
arrested. In the event Of such an at
tempt The bloodsLsd must be great, o.
the police were all armed and waiting fol
The attack.
Tho cause of The riol is not known
but is supposed TO be offense at some re-
marks Of Mr.. Bedini from The pulpit yes
terday morning. What they were W,
could not learn-Cm. Uaionist.

CHARACTER OF THE CHINESE INsuR-
cErTs. Mr.. Ta.mnge, in writing from
Annoy, June 8, makes the following stale-
meOIsiin respect TO The men who are in
arms against the prcscn. government, Of
Cbina:--
"lf the insurgents triumph over tie
present dynasty, we have reason to cx.
poet that the whole Chinese empire will
be thrown open 10 the preaching Of the
Gospel. Many oftlie insurgents profess
TO bc worshippers Of God and believers 10
Jesus. Possibly this profession is gencr-
al among them. They have portion Of
tie sacred Scriptures, printed by thcm-
selves, and circulated among them. We
have seen a par, Of the book Of Genesis
which they had printed. They are well
acquainted with many (acis Of the Old
Testament history, and with some Of the
facts Of the New Testament They have
published several religious tracts. Their
Commentary on the Ten Commsn lments
lis very good. A tract which they have
published against idolalry is said 10 be
excellent. In their prayers they usually
insert the petition Of ihe Lords Prayer,
'Thy kingdom come They offer their
prayers in the name Of Jesus, relying on
his alonement for The forgiveness of sin
and the salvation Of The soul. They keep
the Sabbath and cnjoin morning and
evening worship. In some Of their books
there is much superstition and fataIeuor.t
From all that we can yet learn, we may
hope that there many sincere Christians
among them, and we have reason TO fear
that tile G are also many fanaiics,& 81 some
wicked imposters. Their books show d
much more Intimate acquaintance with
the writings Of Moses than with the wri-
tings Of the evangelisis and aposiles.--
Thus we ihay account for many Of their
acts and religious rites which are incon.
sistent with the spiri, and teachings Of
The New Testament"

The Steamer Pacific from Liverpool
arrived IL A. N. this morning, with 1863
passengers.
The Arabia arrived out Sunday morn-
ing at 8 o'clock.
News per Pacific is Of thrilling inter-
est. The greaiesi naval bnt,lo since Ma

Of lilc and total destruction Of 81 chips
Of war. The particulars were as follows:
On The 30ih November The entire RUS
sian fleet from Scbasiopol, under Admis
raj MachinoF, twen,y-fonr sail, appeared
off The Turkish barbor Of Sinople, where
Admiral Omar Bey lay with fourteen
Turkish sail. The battle being com-
.mencod, and shore batteries being OF no
force, the Russians forced the harbor.
The Turks fought like devils g. would
moi surrender With most desperate bra
very tllcy fought till one ship afer an,
other was blown up or burned. Thirteen
perlslied and only one survived 10 tell
the tale. Seven Turkish frigaes, two
corvettes, one steamer, and three trans
ports, with several thousand men have
totally persisted, and Osman Bey, the
Turkish Vice Admiral is taken prisoner
Each Of The Turkish ships had, besides
crews, eight hundred troops on board on
their way 10 Cirrassia; also a quantity Of
money to pay Tho feet, all Of which was

Tho Turks sunk or burnt seven Rus

frigaies and two steamers. The battle
lasted only one hour. The rest Of tho

could hardly reach Scbastopol.
All Europe is in excitement al thus
desperate disaster to the brave Turks,
aud the opinion is iha, generalEuropean
war cannot longer be avoided with honor.
Admiral Slads, lhe Englshman in com.

EMPTY IIoNoRs. Tho SenatSp,of tho
United Siales have been debating the
question Of giving Gen. Scott the title Of
Lieutenant General, aud increasing his
pay. The movement springs from q mis-.
taken mngnanimiiy, as we think. The
good sense Of this country does not care
to see even it's bravesi soldiers and best
benelacloFs iricked out in new titles and
empty honors, without any new duty be-
ing enjuined. II will do for Louis Ma
poleon TO give stars and ribbons. |, is a
part ofthe sham Of the Ptncc OF Sbams.
Tom Paine told one truth VIXEN be said
that titles were but nickDames, and gar>

for show and vanity, as girls gaudy ribs

INN ,RALlTY IN RUSSIA "A recent
writer Illus speaks Of tho state Of moruls
in Russia. Bad as in the ploygamy of
The Turks, ills infinitely preferable to
such domestic sysiem:
Whatever may be the morals Of The
peasanuy in remote districts, those liyirg
in the towns aud villages on the Volga
are more degraded in their habits than
any other people among whom | have
Travelled; and they can hardly be said 10
disregard, since they have never been
acquainted with the ordinary decencies Of
life. What batter result can indeed bo
expected from system by which .he
upper clnses are weslihy in proportion TO
the number Of serfs possessed by each
proprietoif The rapid increase of the
population is no less an object with the
plivate setf-owne., than the extensive
consumption Of ardent spirits is desired
by the government. Thus each vice is
privileged with especial patronage.
Marriages, in the Russian sence Of the
torn, are consummaled at an earely age,
and are arranged by the steward, without
consulting ihe parties--the lords approv-
el alone being necessary. The price
of family ranges from f35
ioE40. One captain had taken his
wife on lease Of FIVE years, The rent
term amounting to fifty rubres, with the
privilege Of renewal at the expiration Of
that time.
