A STATEMENT COyTRADICTED

A statement has recently been going the rounds
OF the papers that thirty thousand Christians had
been discovered upon an Island north ofthe Ceebes
in the Indian or Malay Archipelago, who knew the
Apostles Creed and tae lleidelburg Catcchism and
possessed portions Of the Scriptures Capt. Walter
NJ Gibson, in a communication published in the
New lork Evening Post, says that this must be an
error. There Is no inhabited island living north OF
Cecbes, except of the large islands of the Span
sh Philippines, capable of sustaining so many in
habitants. Among the Molucca islands to the west
OF the CelebeS there to be found some interest
ing remnants of the Christian communities founded
by the missionaries who accompanied the heroic
Portuguese commander, Galvan; and among the
small islands OF the Tenimber group, in the Java
sea, there have been recently discovered few ma
tive Christian communities, the descendants of con-
verts by Dutch missions at AmbOyna.
This island has now population of 5000 civilized
Christian natives, and contains unquestiOnablv Il
larger native Christian population than any other
island in the Malay Archipelago. The conversions
in the great islands of the Philippines, in LuZon
Cebu, Panay and Others to Christianity, have kept
pace with the progress of the Spanish civil au-
thority, and the Catholic Church claims to have
three and half millions of COMMITMENTS in the
Philippine Archipelago The island of Mndano
about large as the State of New York, which
belongs to this archipelago, but is not yet included
in what is termed the Spanish Philippines mas
much as the greater part of it is yet governed
by its native independent princes, is the
field of active operations the part of the
Spanish missionaries; and according to lately re-
ceived statistics from Caraga and Msamis, two
Spanish provinces in the northern portion of the
island, there was about 81 600 Christian converts
This island lies due north of Celebcs; and | am led
to suppose CONTINUES Captain &. that this account
of Catholic converts in MindanO, joined to late ac-
counts of small Protestant Christian communities
among the Molucca islanders, numbering few hun
dreds, who know make use, in the instruction of
their children, of a badly translated lIeidelburg
Catechsm, have led to the statement that
10000 Protestant Christians exist upon an island in
the Malay Archipelago, who have, until recently,
escaped the observation Of the rest of the Christian
world.

FROM TAMPTCO

Especial Correspondence Of the Ne'o Orleans Picdne
TAMPICO, Aug. u, lS5S.-We are surrounded by
difficulties every side and direction, with the
exception of the bar, which is still open the arri
walls and departures Of foreign vessels. Carvajal is
at Tancasnequi, seventy miles distant from Tampico
shedding the blood of Don Salvador Dasquis cattle,
on whose hacienda he has pitched his military camp
But there is another and still more powerful attrac-
tion for that chief at Tancasnequ which causes his
delay in that quarter. At the commencement of
the late revolutionary difficulties in this and the
State of San Luis Potosi, the merchants commenced
sending off their goods to the above named place,
for mule conveyance therefrom to the interior mar
ket but they were too late, and theref ur thousand
bales of valuable merchandise remain in deposit
Carvaia now declares that he will sell those goods
in order to create Il military fund for the State of
Tamaulipas, but with the usual Mexican liberali-
ty, and to the end that the interests of the re-
spective owners ofsaid goods may not be injured,
they may have the preference in the purchase OF
the same.
Montiel is at Panuco, seizing and selling canoe
loads of Campcachy salt, sent from this to that
city.
Cara is now at the city of Victoria, where, it is
said, he dcvotes time to Bacchus than to
Mars, and that he has lost much of his prestige,
while Carvajal, by emulating his other virtues
such as seizing and approprating foreign goods to
himself and troops, is daily increasing his fame.
We without the aid of any foreign vessel of
war; and since foreign goods have become objects
Of unscrupuouS plumber by the Constitutional for
ces, those who cOnHde their merchandise to their
friends in this port will doubtless receive painful
accounts of their ventures.

THE HUGHES PRINTING TELEGRAPH MACHINES IN
ENGLAND.-A private letter from London, 18th inst,
by the City of Baltimore, states that the Hughes
Printing Telegraph machines were placed upon the
line of the Electric Telegraph Company between
London and Liverpool on the l4th inst, and had
greatly astonishcd the telegraph managers, opera
tors, &C., by their wonderful NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
ing with the most perfect regularity, at the rate of
80 to so words per minute between the two cities,
notwithstanding a heavy rain, which had lasted for
two days, and disabling all other instruments
The first message over the Atlantic Cable from
Trinity Bay was flashed through to London by the
Hughes machines. The speed of the Hughes
machines is about 800 per cent. greater than
the English machines, whicirdo not record the mes
sages transmitted, while the Hughes machines print
every word in plain, clear, capital letters. We
are also gratified to learn from the same source
that negotiations have been opened by the Atlantic
Company, looking to a purchase OF the patent of
the Hughes invention, with view to the immed-
ate use of the machines upon the Atlantic Cable
the agent of Professor Hughes being willing to
guarantee that the machines will transmit intei-
gence 200 per cent. faster and with more accuracy
than can be done by any other system. In fact,
Professor Hughes confidently expects to be able to
write through the cable at the rate of from five to
ten words per minute. Professor Whitehouse, who
is working the cable, claims to be able to work at
the rate of about word per minute; but the
great difficulty of controlling his peculiarly con
structed magnets occasions the loss of great por-
ton of each day in ''adjusting." The Hughes ma
chimes will probably put upon the cable line
ly in September.
