Too BAp-Tt has seldom been our lot TO notice s
more pitiable Rttemp; At Wit than that displayed by
the author of an article in the Gd<sts of the 4th
inst, purpoItiug to be a narration Of the principal
events occurring on the recent TIP Of the yacht
Thsmis 10 the estate Of The Minister Of Foreign Rels-
tons at Hanalei, SC. That the government type,
10 purchase which We sre al taxed. should be pros
tituted TO the purpose Of publishing such nonsense,
and that il should be allowed . place in the govern
ment paper, are sufficient reasons for the Indignation
which has been 50 generally expressed about it.
In . recent rrial Of !unacy in one Of the courts Of
New York. . statement was made by Or. Brown,
Superintendent Of the Blooming dsle Luna,jc Asylum,
tha; one # the leading daily newspapers in that
city IS edited by an inmate Of the same asylum, and
that the leading editorial il written three or four
times a week by q person Of uusound mind confined
in that institution" It is not our business to inquire
who the writer Of the article referred to may be, but
its publication only affords additional evidence on =
point that has been before limited Al, that some of the
writer's in the Ga=cite. if examined before a compe-
tent board, would hardly be acquitted Of the charge
Of lunacy, should the authorship of the puerile COM
positions that appear in it from week to week, be
proved against them. The testimony q DR.. Brown
shows that such things may sometimes occur without
even public suspicion being excited.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS all the flourish Of
trumpets by the Ministry, Boari Of immigration,
sc. it seems probable that the scherGe of introduc-
ing immigrants from China is likely to fall through
after ali. The bark r. ~. Uooi has been with
drawn from the proposed voyage 10 China, and is
laid on for Bremen. The only thing certain is the
sending of a Commissioner to make inquiries, DR..
Wm. Hiilebrand having been selected as such. We
have heard it intimaied that q vessel may be charter
ed in China IN hr;up coolies. but W. bova hoard n ~
the other hand, that strong opposition has been made
70 the Introduction OF any Asjatic immigrants, and
that the whole scheme meets with distavor. II so, it is
quite improbable that any coolies will be obtained at
present. The project will probably end as every
thing undertaken by the Ministry does,-in talk.
DENTAL-We would call attention to the notice of
the opening of a new dental Office, At the corner of
Merchant and Fort Streets. by Dr.. ". II. Richards,
formerly Of Baltimore, who has had long experience
in all the branches OF the Dental art. Having seen
some specimens Of his work. we will venture TO say,
he will be found skilled and practical in his profess
sion. The Doctor will give his personal attention to
the extracting and filling OF teeth, and also to the
making of entire new sets, on the latest AMI most ap-
proved plans, guaranteeing perfect satisfaction to his
patrons. -
SPRING WHALERs.-Three vhalers have arrived at
this port since our last issue, and with the prevailing ,
strong trade winds. quite n number may be expected
in p week or go. The catch of those in port is
small, and would not make Il decent fire for Semmes.
