Wc copy Iroui the Xew l'ork. i Journal of Coiniuerce: In Ja?ger's "Life of North American insects," a work recently published, is a brief sketch of the history and habits ot this species of locust, in which the assertion that they make their appearance only once in seventeen years, is pronounced erroneous us well as that they are destructive to vegetation. The writer st-ites that he has observed them yearly for twenty-seven successive years; though there is a great dillerence in their numbers in ui.iv.rent years. The same is true of other insects, particu larly ro.se-bugs. Sonic years we are overloatled with them, and ajjaiu in others there are scarcely any. iet there are instances where the locust have been observed in the same place only after aw interval of several years, perbftps seventeen, while during this interval they have been very abundant in other localities. They are, however,, seen yearly in one place or another. With regard to the notion that these insects are very destructive to vegetation, the writer asserts that they are harmless, lie says; 'They cannot be classed among the injurious insects, for they cannot devour our vegetables and fruits like other insects, because they have no mouth; and, as has been said before, they suck with their snouts only the dew of leaves f r their nourishment, during the two short months of their existence in their perfect form. Even in their subterranean abode, during the condition of larva?, although feeding upon the roots of several plants, their injury to vegetation is very trilling." Should these locusts make their appearance as predicted, the farmers will have an opportunity of testing the correctness of the latter statement.

Near the Straits of Mackinaw a storm I came up, and the captain and crew having in J dulged a little too much in liquor, the vessel Was ! not well managed, and the next morning struck on ! a reef about a mile from an island. The only life ' preserver on board was given to Miss K., and the ' yawl having been stove, all hands, except the mate, ! who was Miss R.'s cousin, leaped overboard to swim ashore, but were never afterwards seen. Just as the cousin and Miss R. were to follow, a ' spar fell, striking the former dead. Miss R. then ' fainted away, and alter reviving found that the i vessel was so wedged between the rocks that it could not sink. She theumtmues her narrative as follows : Hours passed by and I saw and heard nothing of the captain or the crew. I was p. lone with the dead. The thought became unbearable, and I resolved to leave the wreck and endeavor to reach the land. I brought tip my trunks from the cabin, and lashed one to each end of the spar which had kH'.ed poor George. Then with infinite labor I got them over the side into the water, which had now became comparatively calm. Summoning up all my resolution, L low ered myself into the waves. The life-preserver supported u;e admirably, and I managed to reach the spar to which my trunks were tied. The wind carried us slowly towards the breakers. There were passages between the rocks, and for tunately we were floated through on these and thrown upon the shore. I was terribly lacerated and exhausted, but managed to crawl up on the ssnd out of idie reach of the waves and then laid down with a full and grateful heart. After rest ing perhaps half an hour, 1 'untied my trunks, and rolled them up the bank. The shore was covered with cusks and boxes, and I succeeded in securing some of them. This fatigued me exces sively, as I was theL unued to labor, and was not so robust as I now am. Miss R. found among the goods falo robes, with which she made a next morning breakfasted on some wreck had disannearcd. The lest . bale of buf bed, and the ardines. The of her narra- 4 a tive is as follows : The next day 1 occupied in collecting together the goods which 1 hud saved. 1 iouua that 1 had eight barrels of pork, two kegs of laid, twelve bar rels of flour, two of sugar, several boxes of candy, candles, raisins and dried herrings; my box oT s a dincs, another bale ot buffalo robes, a bos of dry o-,.,.ds needles. rins. thread. Yarn', etc ; a box of mining hatchets, a bo i - t r i i J ' of heavy clothing, aud a bale of blankets. On the third day I found it to be entirely could then iudge, and explored my island. J uninhabited, as far as I I afterwards ascertained this to be true, 'i he shore was sandy and bar- ren. Half a mile from the lake short and scrubby trees, which grew thicker as you advanced. On this the waves tlirew uyou the shore the there were larger anu day, also, dead and bruised bodies of several of the sailors, among them tlTat o!' my cousin. In his pocket I found a metal box filled with friction matches, which were afterwards of the greatest service to me. I dug a shallow grave in the sand buried them as well as 1 could.

Our Consul-General. Mr. Harris, has negotiated a commercial treaty which also guarantees the toleration of the Chtis tain religion, lhe Foreign Committe, of the Epis copal Church, have appointed two of the Mission- aries now in Chinia to open tip a mission in Japan. The Portuguese at one time, hail large missionary and trading establishments in that Empire; in lact Francis Xavies, the celebrated Apostle of the East, made Japan the theatre of his most successful labors. But these Roman Catholic Missionaries, after a series of almost unheard of:peseculion, were diiven out of Japan, and on a Chest containing the dead bodies of the last detachment, was written: 'Henceforward, so long as the sun shall shine upon the earth, let not any Chriitian be so daring as to set his foot in Japan"." For fully 210 years this threat has been enforced. So rigidly was this en forced, that even her own citizens who left home, were never permitted to return. In 1&31, a Japanese vessel was driven across thc Atlantic and wrecked near the mouth of thc Columbia river. Our government, at great expense, sent this crew back to their own country, but they were not per mitted to land, and the ship was ordered from the harbor. In 1840, Commodore Riddle made an attempt to open negotiations, but failed. In IS 1!, the D. S. ship Preble rescued some shipwrecked seamen, but was forbidden to communicate with the people. It was not until the successful expedition of Com. Perry, largely mude.kuowu by its brilliant results, that access waa gained to that densely populated Empire. Now every year is adding largely to the results thus commenced, until now Messrs. Reed and Harris, by their treaties, have opened up to civilizatiou and. Christianity China and, Japan, containing at least 'two-fifths- of the human race. We suppose that if our globe now contains a population of 1,000,000,000, fully 400, 000,000, of these are found in these two Empires. . ; m ' m' - Affairs in Utah. It would appear from the latest dates from Utah, that aposlacy is rapidly on the spread among the Saints, and thiitanexpectatien prevailed that large numbers of them, disgusted with the church and its practices, would leave the Tertitory in the spring. The charge of Judge Cradlebuugh, dn the. third judicial district court at Provo, had -created a great sensation, from tho fact that he recommended to the grand jury a searching investigation into the Mountain Meadow massacre of lHo7, the Springfield murders, and j other offence-J attributed by tho Saints to thc i Indians, but flit perpetrators of which arc well known to have ben white men. It is stated that the captain uf the lare party which was so ruthlessly murdered in 1S67, aud the only one who escaped, is now at Camp Floyd, and will act in concert with fhc authorities in fcrrctting cut the authors of the most wholesale massacre ever committed on our continent.

The "bathing pool" is situated at the foot of a cliff, which rises perpendicularly, with parallel sides, to the height of over two hundred feet; this giant wall or ledge reaches down to the surfac of the water, and is cut down from tho top with nil the regularity of a work carved by human hands. The pool is about forty feet in length by twelve in breadth, and in the middle is fully nine feet d ep; it i scooped out of thc solid rock, and is perfectly adapted in all its natural arrangements to bathing , purposes.
