The Coolie Pirates.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-0ur minister in
China has thought the conduct of the captains
OF the ships Messenger, Kitty, Simpson, Gov.
Morton, and Pioneer, as connected with the
coole traffic, and seriously affecting our rela-
tionS with that empire, of sufficient impOr-
lance to make it the subject of II special dis
patch to our government. The attention of
the governor general has been directed TO the
undisputed fact that the Chinese were taken
on board the vessels while laying at Wham-
poa, by force or fraud, against positive rule
at Canton, that they should be shipped only at
that place. Minister Ward says no American
house will have any connection with the trat
fic but, unfortunately, ready agents are
found among the English merchants, snd
those OF other nations, at Hong Kong.
American vessels are chartered by the subjects
of their governments, and so odious has be-
come the traffic, by recent transactions, that
other governments have either forbidden their
vessels to be engaged in it, or SO restrai led and
regulated it as to throw it almost entirely into
the hands of Americans. Mr. Wade express
es an earnest hope that Congress will pass a
law to punish such offences, which obstruct
the faithful execution OF our treaty stpulatiOns.
He says the horrors of the coolie traffic, as
conducted at WhampOa, cannot be properly
described within the limits OF a despatch
The kidnapping grievance has become so
intolerabe that the governor general has been
aroused to action, and at Canton rewards have
been again offered for the heads OF foreigners.
The bill which Mr.. Elliot has introduced into
the House, for the remedy Of the evil, so far as
American Shpmasters are concerned, is i'll ac.
cordance with the views of the state depart
ment.

| MYSTERIOUS BELL RINGING IN PRovI-
DENCE.-On Thursday evening, 2ith inst, the
dOor-bells at the house OF Il well known Cltl-
zen commenced ringing violently, and contin-
ued at intervals of some three hours. So an
noying did the ringing become, that the wire
OF one bell was detached, and the other bell
was muffed by being completely envcloped in
napkin. The phenomenon was witnessed by
several persons, who thoroughly examined ev.
cry part of the bell apparatus, but could dis
cover no cause which tended to throw any
light upon the occurrence. The wires were
accessible in the whole of their course, and did
not pass into the cellar or anywhere else to
render it possible that a trick was being played
by having string or wire attached IN some
secret place to be pulled by person concealed
in the house or any place adjoining. The
knob or bell pull passed through the door cas-
ing as is usual, and was attached to the semi
circular director; from this wire passed up
to another director, and thence along the hall
to where it passed into the room occupied by
the family. One gentleman present took hold
of the knob and held it firmly he says there
was much force exerted to move the knob
while he held it, and that he distinctly felt a
power attempting to pull it. As soon as he let
go, the bell wonld begin to move and flew
rapidly backwards and forwards as though
some one pulled and then suddenly let CO.
He held the knob several times, and in every
instance with the same result. At the same
time, the bell would ring by Il movement COM
municated to the wire between the first and
second director. One gentleman present at
tempted to seize the wire, and as soon as his
hand approached it the ringing would cease,
and the other bell commence ringing. Sud
denly turning to seize hold of this, it would
stop and the first commence ringing again. He
tried this repeatedly and in every instance the
motion would cease in the one and commence
in the other. For a fortnight, the little girl
who usually answers the bell has been to the
door and found no one there, and within two
or three days has been several times in a day.
On the present occasion, her father was out Of
town, having left Thursday morning. When
leaving his wife spoke about the bell, but he
aughingly told her she was frightened, and
nothing more would probably be heard of them.
For obvious reasons, we have not indicated the
family nor the place the reader may be as
sured, however, that we have told only the
simple facts, all of which may be abundantly
verified.

VICroR EMANUEL AND MAzzINI.-The
greatest victory achieved by King Victor
Emanuel is the conversion of Mazzn The
fiery apostle of repubcanism has renounced
his creed and become devoted royaist
In his proclamation to the Slclllans he says
that "the events which have taken place in
Italy during the last twelve months clearly
show that unity sill be no longer a dream
but reality, when the people who still
groan in chains give strong and fresh I'M
pulse to events, and resume vigorous
Initiative" He therefore calls upon the
Sicians to rise from one end of the island
to the other, and fight like heroes, as they are
in the habit of doing and then, he prophesies,
they will be victorious. Mazznl thus renoun-
ces his long cherished views, and proves, at all
events, that he is not the impracticable theorlst
which he was believed to be The govern
ment of the Bourbons having been broken
down, we will proclaim that which Central
Italy has already chosen, the only one that
can be called Italian, that of the brave and
gallant king. Let us, therefore, inscribe
on our banners the word Annexa-
ton" Before being a republican l was
in favor of unity, for it appeared to
me that republic alone could lead to it, |
was mistaken. Victor Emanuel made Italy
progress towards that object; he will lead her
to it if the people will assist him. | thus sac.
rifce old ideas to old principles and with you,
SiciIians and with all the other people of the
Italian peninsula, who will henceiorth form
only one nation with you, cry, "Long live
Victor Emanuel, king Of Italy"
