The practice, of chewing opium, which prevails to a eriou and futnl extent in China, and winch it h fur to presume, is in a considerable meisure the causa of the prewtit atrugele between Great Dn tain and the- Cvleatial Einpire,M ha (boon the theme of more than one work, and is the source nit only of much exquisite enjoyment, buLpf mi try unspeakablo. Opium chewing and smoking are not, howevor, confined to China. There are hundred of unloriunate 111 this country, by whom opium, cither in emailpiece and chewed like to. , bacco, or made into laudanum, is nought for with more keenness than tho drunk.rd seek for hi. stimulus. , A friend who kep a drag store1 in the lower pirt of the city, inform us that there are dozens of confirmed opium eator or laudanum drinkers, who visit his establishment daily. They are ;' crally speaking abandoned women, who hare imbibed the habit in hours of gloom and dep dency ; but he st ites that tlmre are other case si which the needy and unf jrtunate have become opi. urn eater in mommas of sickness and pain, and having once resorted to tho dru;; for the alleviation of their bodily misery, they, have tound it impose, bio to abandon tho habit, la some cases these miserable beings are indeed to be pitied. Without opium or laudmum they are wretched, and unable to obtain monoy to purchase any, their condition is appalling io the extreme- Our informant assures us that in some cases, four ounce of laudanum are consumed daily, or enough to kill Cur people under ordinary circum. stao women wm ioWi WJ iMo ll'iiu iiciiiuiii in vcij lllllU, lu MniMVn nrnug orpriveu 01 mcir usual portion of the potion. They will grap it with the utmot impatience, and fWallow it Bn instantly. Not unl'renuently they pwn their clothes and tlio furniture u their houses in order to obtain niony to buy opium. Nay, still more dcjilurnble nliernatives have been resor ted to. Oiuin eaters nro readily recognized by one who is familiar with such persons. They have a Iviggard and wi . oru ui)iear;ince ; their eyes glow with an unnatural light, whilu misery ami despair nro traced upn tlnir teature in indelible linns. The habit may be cuic I, we believe, 111 most cases, and its ellects are soniuliines frightful. Vhilad. Inqnirtr. The Vcnlur'j riant .1 (Ircal Curiosity.
