The COOlie Trade.

A late arrival from Cuba brings informs.
ton that of 1922 coolies, comprising four
cargoes, designed for that island, four hun
dred and fifty, or more than one. third OF
the whole number, spoiled" on the passage;
and that the total number arrived on the
island since April, 1855, is IO,534; died on
the voyage l,7S9. OF all the nefarious
trades in which man ever engaged (says
the New York Journal Of Commerce) the
coolie trade is among the most horribly re-
voting.
In eStenuation of the guilt incurred il is
alleged that the parties concerned have a
contract with the coolies; bnt in effect the
deuded victim is slave, and not the faint

vertible facts have been brought to,the at

The SIAMEsE GIFT TO THE AMERICAN

two Kings of Siam: awe were this morn
ing permitted to inspect, at the Department
OF State, a curious collection Of presents just
received from Bankok, in Siam, from the
two Kings who reign over that country.
Among these interesting specimens Of the
haudiwork of the intelligent Siamese, We
especially noticed a solid gold snuff box,
(weighing upward of Eve ounces,) quantity
ornanented in coloted enamels, a long pipe,
with tiny bowl richly ornameuted with
enamelled gold; for smoking opium; n
pair OF large shears (made somewhat like
those in general use in this country for
shearing sheep for trimming the beard; 81
sword, of exquisite temper with scabbard

Remedies for the Increase Of Crime.

Ihe increase Of crime in the country at
large has become a matter Of universal no.
torety, and the failure to punish criminals.
has rendered the laws on the subject almost
obsolete. Indeed, the only result which in
many cases follows murder is a gravo-
waste of eight or ten days of time by court,
lawyers, juries, and witnesses, and a bill of
costs 10 the Commonwealth.
A religious paper now before US makes
an effort 10 explain the cause Of the increase
of crime and TO suggest remedies. The
cause, it alleges, is found in part in the fact
thaA more attention is given to the mere in
tellectual than to.he moral culture Of YOUTH:
that in times Of great civil eoDvulsion, when
anarchy and violence prevail, as in the first
French revolution, it is the learned, and not
the ignorant, who lead the way to destruc.

exceeding all others in counteracting hu.

present necessities of nations sinking under

beyond the precepts Of the great founder,
and which has TOO much tenderness Of con-

We will dismiss this subject by giving
Professor Arago's division of comets. He
divides them into three classes with refer
ehce to their physical constitution. He
thinks they occasionally appear round and
with well defined planetary discs, showing
them to be solid opaque bodies, in all re-
spects resembling planets, and only differ
ing from them in the great ecccntricity of
their orbits. A second class of comets
comprehends those in which there is nu-
cleus, but devoid of opacity. permitting
the light to penetrate through even that
portion which may probably be solid. The
third class, and that by far The most numer-
Gus, comprehends those comets destitute
entirely of any solid nucleus, consisting Of
matter SO attenuated to compare with
nothing of which We have any knowledge
on the Earth's surface. The comets named
Encke and Bella appear TO belong to this
class, and even Halley's comet, according
to'the opinion of Sir tohn Herschel at its
last return, appeared to belong to this class

@The election in Kansas takes plsc,

HThe election in Kansas takes place
on the 18th of next month. A Kansas
correspondent Of the St. Louis Republican
writes, on the 2Olh ult., as follows
The great question is. will the Free.
sollers vote?" They have sworn that they
will not. Should they persist, Kansas
must necessarily ask for admitance with a
constitution admitting slavery. or, al least
not prohibiti & it. The census act pro.
vIdes that no one shall vote whose name
does not appear on the corrected list of vo-
ters, prepared under is provisions. 1t IS
certain that they have refused TO be regis
tered thus far, and. rs they have but Ten
days to GO on, il is most probable that the
pro slavery vote, as sLown by the returns.
will be vastly in the majority. The truth
is, that the policy of the Abolition leaders
is to let Kansas be slave State without
an effort for the purpose of keeping up az
itation. This policy, dictated n the Ner.h.
has been adopted in Kansas. Let Kansas
come in as slave State. as 1t must uu.
toubtedly do, should thev persist ia ,he
course named, and then whai hullah and
fuss they will make about the extension
of slavery" They will say, 1--WE told you
so; it was the object of the De,aocratic
party when they repealed the Missouri
Compromise. Down with the slavery
propagandists."
