Green Teas.

The Missionary Advocate for January contains
Il long letter from the Rev. DIR. Wentworth, at
Feu Chau, China from which make the fol
lowing extract:-
Several American ships are lying in port await
ing the arrival ofgreen teasl The English, who
love the leaf unauthorized. have taken the first
cargoes of the season, and sped homeward with
them, The Americans are green enough to pre-
fer an infusion Of Prussian blue, rendering that
article scarce and high in the vicinity of the
green teas that the natives can hardly afford
TO use it on the venetians' of their veran.-
If some hundreds of good ladies', who go with
their heads lightly bandaged day or two in ca ch
week, with sick headache, and whose only RENE
dy is 'grecu tea" would abandon the use of
green teu," altog 'ther, they would find in the
remedy itself the source Of the disease.

"A rat" says another paper, descending tho

An English paper stated THAT the

Among the innumerable anecdotes related of
the ruin ot persons at play, there is one worth re-
lating, whi' refers to Il Mr. Porter, II gentleman
who, in the reign of Queen Anne, possessed one
Of the best estates in Northumbe riand, the whole
of which he lost at hazard in twelve months. Ae.
cording to the story told of this uadmnn- for we
will call him nothing else when he had Just com
pleted the loss OF his last acre, at gambling
house IN London,and was proceeding down stairs
to throw himself into Il carriage to convey him
homo to his house in town, he resolved upon hav-
ing one more throw to try To retrieve hts losses
and Immediately returned TO the room where the
play was going on. Nerved for the worst that
might happen, he insisted that the persons he
had been playing with should give him one
chance of recovery, or tight with him. His pro
position was this: That his carriage and horses,
the trinkets and loose money in his pockets, his
town house, plate aud furnture-in short, all he
had III the word-should be valued at Il certain
sum, and be thrown at II single cast. Nopersua
sions could prevail upon him to depart from his
purpose. He threw and lost Then conducting
the winner to tho door he told tho coachman there
was his master, and marched forth into the dark
and dismal streets without house or home or any
crodtabo means of support Thus beggared. he
retired to an obscure lodging in cheap part of
the town, subslsting partly on charity sometimes
acting as the marker at n billiard table and occa-
sionally as helper in a livery stable. In this
miserable condition. with nakedness and famine
staring him in the face. exposed to the taunts
and insults of those whom he had once supported
he was recognized by an old friend, who gave
him ten guineas TO purchase necessaries. He
expended five in procuring decent apparel; with
the remainder he repaired To a common gaming.
house; and increased them to fifty; he then ad-
journed TO Que of the higher order of houses, sat
down with former associates, and won twenty
thousand pounds. Returning the next night he
lost 1t all, was once more penniless, and after
snbsisting many years in abb ct penury, died a
ragged beggar in St. Giles.

The Pacific Railroad letter though in direct con-
tradicton TO the principles of the State Rights Demo
crazy Of the South treated with the utmost deli
cacy and reserve, especially by the Richmond Ea-
9nira-
tits in this manner that the Enquirer refers to
its own treatment of Mr.. Buchanans California
letter. We are at liberty to conclude from it
that the Enquirer does not, after ALL regard the
principles of State Rights Democracy" anything
like so sacred and important as has been sup.
posed-since it can treat with the utmost deli.
cscy and reserve doctrines and recommends
tions "in direct contradiction to" those PRINCIPLES
Hereafter we shall have better appreciation of
the Enquirer's meaning, when il avows an indy
ing devotion TO the principles of State Rights
Democracy.
But. all the Democratic organs did not treat
MIR. buchanan and his letter with much {" del.
ioaey." The Charleston STANDARD even raised
the question whether the letter would not Justify
the Presidential electors, already elected to vote
for him, in turning from him and oecting some.

The Jackson Mssissippian has long article

to know. If that letter had been made public in
