An ARCHBISHOP AMONG PHESBYTERIANS.
A correspondent of the Newark Advertiser
writes from Rome on Feb. %, as follows:
"Among the eminent Americans still here
is archbishop Hughes, of New York, who
came to attend the recent Immaculate con-
ccpton Conyocation. l had the pleasure of
meeting him in fine spirits at recent soiree
at the lodgings of a dcvout Presbyterian fam
lily from Georgia, in company with his
friends, Bishop Bedir, who, by the way, soon
goes to Lisbon as Nuncio. Several new Car
tlinals are to be announced shortly, as I am
we'll assured.-Thcrc are some twenty or
thirty American families here, living in the
most friendly social intercourse. Most of
shcm attend the services Of the American
Chapel on the Sabbath. The mnistrations
Of the chaplain (the Rev. Z. G. Prime of n.
w. have also attracted a number of English
families, though there is British Church

ADuGTaEATEo-A London paper giving &C
count of the manner in which tea is adultcra-
ted after its importation; furnishes the fol.
lowing information of the manner IN which
the trade is carried Oh in China.
The dishoneStyof adutc!atng tea is not,
however. confined to this country. 1t often
undcrgoes a strange process of transmutation
before it reaches the hands of the English
dealer. The Chinese are not at all behind us
in practices of dishonesty. and the genuine
mi fraudulent tea trade flourish in China
with almost equal vigor The people of that
country have long enjoyed an unenviablc pre-
cminncc for their success in ingenious decep.
tons. Recent travellers have confirmed the
wcllknown testimony of Sir Francis Davis, in
rcfcrancc to the extensive expectation Of adj
liberated teas by the natives. lie speaks of
regular mandatory for the production OF
spurious green teas, which, with the most
daring eff ontcry, has been erected exactly
opposite the European factories at Canton. ON
the other side of the river. lie naturally
found some difficulty in procuring admission
within it's prccints, but his object was at
length effected through the influence of a
Hong Kong merchant. and the scene is thus
discribed:- the first place. large ql,anti-
tics of black tea, which had bccn damaged
by the floods of the previous autumn. We're
socn drying in baskets, placed over hot pans
of charcoal. The dried leaves were then
transferred in portions Of few pounds each,
10 a number of cast iron pans. which are pla
cod over furnaces. They were next stirred
rapidly round with the hand by a workman,
who had previously added a small quantity
of turmeric, which impaired yolowsh
tinec to the mixture. In order to convert
this into a green hue ,-hc color 50 much dcsir-
cd, some humps of PrusSian bluc and gypsum
were added in such proportions as reduced
the dark blue to light shade Of which a
small teaspeonful was added to the ycllowish
leaves. These were then stirred before the
fire until the tea had taken the fine bloom
color of Tyson. with very much the same
scent The transformed leaves were then
, picked sitcd chopped small, and supplied
to the merchants as excellent young ilyson.

AMERICAN MrsKETs FOR FoRElGN UsE.-
There is great activity at present among some
of our American gun manufacturers, induced
in part by the war in Europe. The Windsor
(Nt.) Journal says that the Robbins & Law
renee Company, of Windsor, have just con-
'ractcd for the manufacture Of muSkcts to
the amount of some four or five hundred
thousand dollars. The contract is made for
a company in London. and the arm to he
manufactured is the Minnie rifle with some
notifications. The fulfilmcnt of the con-
tract will require an additional furcc of two
or three hundred men.
The Boston Chronicle has the following:
Aside from the extensive contract from
the English Government for gun machinery,
now nearly completed ut the Massachusetts,
Arms Company's works at Ciiicopce Falls,
we learn that another Of our cn,erpising gun
manufactures has lately received contract
from the same source, for about twenty thou
sand rfIed muskcts. The muskcts are to be
ritl,d with three grooves. and to carry conf
cal ball-which makes them, in fact, mod
ilicrtion Of the French Mimic gun. a similar
muskct or perhaps the old pattern altc, cd,
will be introduced into our services.
