Accord ing to an account in a New York Journal, as received front an American Naval offi cer who was near the scene, that the num ber of person, men, women and children, who were killed by Sir Michael Seymour's bombardment of Canton, was seventy thou sand. It is believed that this is rather un der than over the mark; and that besides, the consequences of the conflagration de prived a great number of families of their ordinary means of subsistence, y - Lord Palinerston, in hit just tribute to tbo American Commodore, Armstrong, n tig it have added, that he did not, in aveng ing the insult to the American flag, bom bard a defenceless city, but pushed straight for the offending forts, nnd destroyed them in fair fight armed men against armed men. It is said that upon this occasion, the new shot and shell, just introduced into our naval service, and that alone, was tried and with surprising effect. The English press were very severe in their criticisms upon the American attack on Urey town, when nobody wns killed or injured. How does it compare with the wholesale carnage at Canton ? A Darkey Theologian. An old negro near Victoria, Texas who was tho only Bapti.-t in the neighborhood, always 'stuck up to his own faith, and was ready with a reason for it although he was unable to rend a word.

A correspondent of the Franoisco Rnlle- . . T . . , r . . . tin, James Ilanley, a Chinese interpreter, ai ,l e t r - S directs attention to the fact thnt Chinese .! history contains descriptions of a vast country many thousands of miles eastward Ammm mJUk aw 1l.1 v a i which it' is contended must be California j and Mexico. Their account states thnt in A. D. 430, Buddhist priests had gone to i Fusang, (or America) and distributed Hud- I hist tracts nnd images among tho inhabj- ; tnnts. In A. D. 401, forty years after word. everal Buddhist nriests arrived, at HinEehau, and reported various particulars in reference to this country, Tl,n rM,;...in bUtririnn enlls the eountrv Fu-ang. from the name of a particular tree thnt grew there and which hek describes . b ' e. ,.f t, f.tanntr. when first i IIU v ..... - 4 1 t - 1 Tho inhabitants eat the fruit like pears, j and weave its bulk into cloth for clothing i nnA articles of embroidery. They have irouiiceu. reseinoie um me u. . 1 11. l.. ),,. Iinmtuui hooks which are written on the bark of the fusang." Of this tree (the innguey) Pres cott says that its " bruised leaves afforded a paste, from which paper wus made; its juice wus manufactured into an intoxicating bevern"-e, pulque, of which the natives, Ho this dav. nre excessively fond; its leaves supplied an impenetrable thatch for the moro hnmblo dwellings; thread, of which coarse stuffs were made, and strong cords were drawn from its tough and twisted fibres; pins and needles were mado of the thorns at tho extremity of its leaves; and tho root when properly cooked, was con verted into a palatable and nutricious food. Tho mngney, in short, was meat, drink, clothing and writing material for the Aztc! Surely, never did nature enolose in so com pact a form so many of the elements of human comfort and civilization." Mr Hanley also says: " Most people in California have noticed the similitude existing between the -Chinere, both in feature and tho accent of their monosyllable dialects, and fnnn my owu experience I find that they arc nearly the same. The Chinese accent can bo4raced 1.

A law yer 6f high reputation in tho city of Phila delphia, was traveling in one of the South ern States, and being belated one evening, after a long day's ride, ho was compelled to turn into a house on a solitary plnnta tion, and ask for shelter and hospitality for the night. ' His request was granted. In the course of the evening he thought he observed something reserved in the master of tho house, which awakened his suspi cions. . He was at length conducted to his chamber, which was adjoining the family room. There he dwelt on the t it cutnstances which alarmed him till his excited imagina tion was filled with thoughts of nightly rob bery and assassination. He preceded to barricade the room as best he cou d. He . 1 . a. al fastened down tttp wnaoows ; ng.uiisi me doors he piled arables, chairs, everything that was movable? iu the room. While thus engaged, words uttered iu a low voice caught his ear, and increased bis alarm. Ho placed his oar at tho key Inde. The man of tbe housewai engaged in family prayer. Among the dbj-cts of his interces sion, he was praying for "the stranger whom the jwovidence of God had unexpect ly brought to lodge beneath their roof that night." Vhen ho got through, our travel ing friend arose from his stooping posture. Imagine the change in his feelings. All his fears bad vanished. Though no chris tian himself, he knew that tbe prayers of Christians an- like guardian angels to tbe abode in which they are offered up, and wciit to bed and sleep soundly and sweetly, feeling that tbe house where God was fear ed and worshiped, was a safe house to sleep in.

It was not known that the lady had many rich relatives, and people wondered, ad mired, and went away. Next morning. Monsieur desired to see some of the costly gifts, so as to examine them moro at his leisure. " Aoa, non" said he? impatiently, as the ex Miss McKee, showed him a laco dress from her "dear papa." and a set of plated knives, with pearl handles from "ma ;" "de Cashmere, de diamanf, dat vat I want to see." The bride tried to shirk the question, but tho bridegroom was imperative, and she wrts at last obliged, blushingly and with much hesitation, to confess that the dia monds wero hired fur tho occasion at Tiffany's and tho fifteen hundred dollar shawls from Stewart's. The gentleman has since requested the ludy's father to hand over whatever money he intends to give his daughter, as he is tired of "dis tain countree, and wants to 'go back to "a belle France." The truth is New York society (God help dition. Our young women are influenced by only two emotions love of display and love of admiration, and they open their arms to whatever ministers to these two passions. Added to this, they are idle, "and Satan finds some mischief still for idle hands to do.' If nothing worse, they marry their father's coachmau, or their music teacher, or some interesting foreiguer with moro hair thnn bruins, and more rascality than either. Men of intellect rarely seek in "society" for wives, gonerally prefering women edu cated away from its pernicious and vitia ting influence, which they know scorches nnd dries up overy fresh and innoccut feel ing. The wealthy residents of the South have one great advautuge over those of the North and that is in having colored male servants If Eugene Sue desired to write another book illustrating tho evils of the institution as it exists here and in Europe, he could find more graphic materials in New York than those employed in "Martin the Founding." The depravity to which it gives rise is gen erally concealed for the time hejng, but it is sure to break out in a new form some time. A short time since, a young lady, the daughter of a millionare, was married with every appearance of perfect satisfac tion on the part of tho family, to a young gentleman who acted as her father's clerk. Fiftv thousand dollars was given to her on the day of her marriage, and $30.0!H) irrore put in trust for the use of herself, and hus band, and the young people started off to Europo on a tour and to spend the honey moon. Some of the circumstauces greatly surprised many friends of the family know ing them to be very proud and tho young roan very poor ; 11 was, nowever, no mys tery to other who knew that three year before a liason had existed between this r5rl. then onlv thirteen years old. and a servant in the house, which 011 being dis covered, bad created frightful scenes, in the midst of which the daughter was sent to a convent, and the menial bribed to leave the country. The subsequent determination of the parents to marry her oil as quickly as possible, proved quite successful, they con tenting themselves with rBe idea that nn inferior match was better than open do honor. Another case has also occurred recently of a young girl not over fourteen years old, and the daughter of one of our nwt suc cessful merchants, who left home one morn ing with her satcbell on her arm for the purpose, as her family supposed, of attend iag eehoob which she g.-uerally did at Rutger's Institute I nstead of that site pro ceeded to a boose of ill fame, in Lanahai street, kept by the most notorious woman in the eity. and. seeing ber. intr.duced her ddf. and said she had cme to hid there. ObtM rving that she wan very beautiful ami would prove a card, tho woman gbully re ceived ber. gave ber elegant dresses, and bad her treated with the most marked at tention. Tins added to tbe already inflamed beaut y of the f.-di-h girl, and she confessed to baring been tampered with and eorropt- until hy accident, a police captain heard of a very beautiful young girl who bad been atelv introduced into "societv" at Mim . He started to the place immediate y. insisted on seeing the girl, found it was the one be was in search of, and scut for her ather. The poor old man wept bitterly. and said he would sooner have died than seen her there. At first she absolutely re fused to go home, but was finally prevailed upon, and her acquaintances were informed that she had taken a girlbh freak to go op tbe river and see her aunt ; and were in vited to a magnificent party in honor of her return. She also will probably be married off as soon as possible. - POLITICAL PREACHINO The Rev. Dr. Storrs, of New York re cently delivered a political sermon in one of the Congregational Churches of that city. in which he distinctly took position and fell into line with Reccher, Cheevcr, and the other political parsons at the North. The occasion was the dedication of a tfhf Church, and Dr. Lyman Reedier, the ven erable patriarch of all the Beech cr family. and father of "Uncle Tout's Cabin.",. Dr. Thompson, Rev. Henry Ward Beecher. and somo other atiolition parsons, were present. Dr Storrs preached the Installation ser mon, and instead of taking his text from the Bible, selected, as tho theme of his dis course, as is the practice now. in the North ern pulpits, the late decision of the Su premo Court in the celebrated Dred Scott case. The South and slave-holders were consigned to eternal perdition. Not only so; the Rev. gentleman condemned the wlndo country beyond tbe hope of resurrection. Like Rome, he said, we, as a people, aro proud and tyrannic il ; confident of our strength, rapacious and oppressive. Ry a single decision of our Supreme Court, a whole race are outlawed, and there arises no unanimous voice of indignation against the outrage. Tlc Beverend Abolitionist once thought, that but for one gigantic alii which in its complicated wickedness, is the sum of all iniquities, this nation would pre sent to the world a sublime example of moral purity, but alas, iu tho Bev. gentleman's estimation, this one siu of slavery ruined all! In reading this Reverend Abolitionist's deuuncintit.u of slavery, wo wore struck with the remarkable contrast presented by New York and Northern society, as de scribed 'by himself, and that with us at the South, where this "siu" of slavery exists ; and the reflection forced itself upon our mind that it would be better, far belter for tho Rev. Doctor to reform the manners, and remove the deiully sins whieb ho im putes to his own people, than to make hi unbidden und unrighteous crusade against the South. Here is u picture, a dark and damning picture of society around him, a drawu by his own hand. Wo can assuro the Rev. Abolitionist that we have 110 such condition of things in the South as ho here describe-. Of course, he refers Id New York society as most familiar to him, and the allusion to the case of Dr. Burdell and Mrs. Cunningham, and similar ones, is quite pcrtineut. We would inform the Rev. gentleman that we have no Chinamen, Pa gan Gods, nor Paguu worshippers none of tho licentiousness he deplores, at the South and wo would moreover inforn him that it is tbe very institution he denounces, that keeps them from among us !
