TUB BATTLE OF QUEENSTOWN, AND LUNDY'S LANE. After o signal n defeat, (the defeat nt Chippewa,) the British could uot bo induced to bnzftrd another engagement. They aban doned ifeeir wui-ka at Chippewa, ond burning their barrack! tellred to Fott Nbgaio aud fort Georg, rloscljr followed by Brown. Hero he expected to receive lome heavy gun and reinforcement from Sacketts Harbour ; but on the 23d of July, 1814, he received a letter by express from Gen. Gaiuc, advising him that that port waa blockaded by a superior Briliab force, ond thai Commodate Chauucev was confined lo his bed with a fever. Thus Jdisappoioted iu his expectations of being en nbled to reduce the forts at the mouth of the Niagara, Brown determined to disencumber the army of baggage, and march directly for Burlington Height. To mash this iutentiou nnd to draw from Sch!oser n small supply of provisions, be fell back upon Chippewa. Iu the inooa time, Gen. Druramoiid, anxi ou to retrieve the credit of the British armi, .ad reinforced Gen. Kiall with ail (he troops he could collect at York, aud the other posts oa the peninsula ; and hav ing tuken lbo com mand of thi army, udvauced upon the Arncri cau, who had fallen back to Chippewa. About nooa on the 25ih, Gon. Brown was advised by an express fioni Lewistowu, that th Briiuh were following him, and wero in considerable force iu Queenstown nd ou its beighu ; that four of the o-w-cny fleot had ar rived with reiuforcecaeuU at Niagara during the preceding" night, and that a number of boats were in view, moving up tno river. th Shortly after, intelligence una brought that the j enemy were lauding ut Iewistown, and that the bofgace and stoics nt Schloer, und on thuir way thither, were in danger of immediate cepturs. In order to recall the liniUh from this oliject. Brow n determined to put the army I in rnotiou towards Quwenstowu, nnd accord - incly Geu. Scott was directed to advance With the first brigade, Tuhuh' uiwilvij, aud ell the dragoons and mounted mon, with orders to report if the enemy appeared, nnd if uecessary, to call loi assistance. On his arrival near tho falls, Scott luntued that the enemy was iu force directly in his front, a narrow piece of wood uloue intercepting his view of them. He immediately advanced opou them, after despatching a messenger to Gen. Brown with this intelligence. The report of the cannon and small aims reached Geu. Brown before the messenger, and orders ware instantly issued for Geu. Ripley to nvirch to tho support of Gen. Scott, with the second brigade and nil the artillery, and Brown himself repaired with oil speed to the scene of action, whence he sent ordeis for Geu. Porter to advauce with his volun teers. On reaching the field of battle, Geu. Biowu found that Scott had passed the wood, and engaged the enemy on tho Queeiistowu road and on I'jc groiud to the left of it, with tho ninth, eleventh, nnd tweuty-second regi ments, aud Towson's nrtillery, tho twenty filth having beon thrown to the tight to be governed by circumstances. Tho content was close and desperate, aud the American troops, far inferior in uii.Tibe--, urTercd se verely. Meanwhile Major Jessup, who command ed the twenty-fifth regiment, taking nut-aniaga of a fault committed by the British comrnaud r r, leaving a road unguarded on his left-, threw himself promptly iuto the rear of the eucniy, where he was enabled to operato with trie happiest effect. The slaughter was dreadful, the enemy's line fled down the road nt the third or fourth fire. Tho capture of General Riali, with e large escort of officers of rank, was part of the trophies of Jesup's intrepid ity and skill; and, but for the impression of an unfounded report, under which he unfor tunately remained for a few- minutes, Lieut. General Diummond, had fallen into his haud, au event which would, in all probability, have completed the disaster of the British army. Druinmoud was completely in Jessup's pow er ; but being confidently informed that the first brigade was cut in piece, and fiuding himself with less than two hundred men, and without any prospect of support, in the midst of an overwhelming hostile force, he thought of nothing, for the moment, but to make good bis retreat, and save hi command. Ol this temporary suspense of the advance of the American column. Gen. D.uramond availed nimsaii to mane nis escape. Among the of ficers captuied was one of Gen. Drumrnond's aid-de-camp, who had been despatched from the front line to order up the raive, with a view to fall on Scott with the concentrated force of the whole army, and overwhelm hiin at a single effort. Nor would it have been possible to jTeveut this catastrophe, had the reserve arrived in time ; the force with which ' Gen. Scott would then have been obliged to contend being nearly quadruple that of his own. By the fortunate capture, however, of in uriuun aiu-de-caajp, before the cample- ..... uon or ine service on which he bad beoo or dered, the enemy's' reserve ivas not brought into aetiou until the arrival of Gen.

Gen. Rip ley followed on the right with the twenty-third regimeut. It had some desperate fighting, which caused it to falter, but it was promp'ly rallied, aud b'ought up. The enemy being not driven from their commanding ground, the whole brigade, with the volunteers aud artillerv, and the first regi ment, which had been rallied, were formed in line, with the captured cannon, nine pieces iu the rear. Here they were soon joined by Major Jeasup, with the twenty-fifth, the regi meait that had acted with such effect iu the rear of the enemy left. In this situation the American troops withstood three distinct des perate attacks of the enemy, who had rallied his broken corps, and received reinforce ments, lit each of them he was repulsed with great slaughter, so near being his ap proach, that tbu buttons of the men were dis tinctly seen through the darkness by the fltsh of the muskets, and many prisoners were ta ken nt the point of the bayonet, principally by IVrfei' volunteer.

During the third effort of the enemy, tho direction of Scott' column would have enabled him, in a few minutes, to have form ed a line iu the rear of the enemy's right, aud thus have brought him between two fires.

Tho hunting hirt, the emblem' of the Revolution, ii bail J . j ,sn ed from the national military, but "till lin gers among the hunters and pioneers of the far West. The uatioual costume, properly so called, was adopted in the outset of the Revolution, and was recommended by Wash ington to his army, in the most eventful pe riod of the war of Independence. It was the favorite garb w ith many of the line, particular ly of ihe gallaut Josiah Parker. When Morgan's Riftcmeu were made pris oueis at the assault in Quebec in 1775, were returning to tho South to be exchanged, the British ga'riaon beheld with wonder these on of tho mountain, nnd the forest. Their haidy look, their tail, athletic forms, their marching nlway.4 iu Indlrtu fih with the light nnd noiseless step peculiar to their pursuit of woodland game ; but above all, to Itirnpean eyes, their singular picturesque co-lumc, tho hunting shirt, with iis fringes, the wampum belts, leggius aud moccasins, richly worked with Indiin ornaments ond beads nnd porcu pine quilis of brilliant and varied dyes, the tomahawk and knife; these, with the well known death dealing of these matchless marksmen, created in the European military a degree of owe aud respect for the hunting s;hiit, which lasted with the war of the Revo lution.

At a late meeting of the '? Society tf,r the Diffusion f Knowledge,' I fOrd Rrigham took the Chair. Sir Richard ivyan, ('he supposed iuthor of the n Vestiges of the Natural Hiry of Creation,") rose and said, mar ne neaifly ap proved of all that bad been ald on tbaboli lion of human slavery; but that the tn bad now come for new views upon ibis abject. In order to exhibit this relation, fromahich he deduced such duties and consequeue, be would beg leave to read the following f PAPER AND RESOLUTION " The first step in the creation of lit' upon this planet, was a chemico-electiic opratiou, by which siiriple germinal vwsssicUj were produced; fioin this there was n ad vance under favor of peculiar couilion, from simplest forms of being r the next more complicated, and this the tedium of the ordinary process of generation. This might be doue by the force of ceitain eternal conditions operating upon the parturiit sys tem. It has pleased Provideuco to -range that oue species should give birth to Bother, until the second highest gavo birth tcman. who is tho very highest : oe it so, it our part to admire and to submit. Hencisonie of the inferior species of animals werey the ordinary process of generation, but by Law to which the law of ' Like produce lia ' is subset vicu', the ancestors of the human sscies. This being the natural relation of infer r ani mals to man, let us consider their rnenl con stitution. Common observation shew great geuuml superiority of ihe hurnau mim over that of animals; but this superior it) not greater than that of the Caucasian or the negro, for whom we are all so infested. The inferior animals possess means oicom muuicating ideas, aud as they were injeiug before their offspring, man, there was laruage upon earth long ere the history of ou race commenced. "The difference between miud iuthtower animals and iu man is a difference in fgrec only ; it is not a specific difference: All who have studied animals by actual olerva tiou, nnd even those who have given a:alm, a candid attention to Ihe subject in ok, must ntiain more or less clear convictits of this truth, notwithstanding all the obsjrity which prejudice may have engendered.) We see animal capable of affect ion, jealou , en vy ; we see them quarrel, aud conduct(uar rels, iu the very manner pursued by themore impulsive of our own race. We seethem as lender to their young as hurnau par eu are, and a faithful to a trust as the inostcoitien tious of human servants. The horse istar tltd by marvellous objects as a man is. jThe The dog and ma uy others show tenlious inemorv. The dog also proves hini.elftos- sessed of imagination, Uy the net of um- ing.' Here Mr Macauly, in critical bod, wa-heard to say, thai certainly some damy modern poets that he knew of, had no bore imagination lhati n dog, though their n ivo ries were quite tenacious. 44 Horses, til ing themselves iu waut of a hoe, have of tHr own accord gone to a farrier's bop where try were shod before. Cats, closed up in roon, will endeavor to obtain their liberation by pi ing a latch or ringing a bell. It has sevol times been observed that in a field of cat;, when oue or two wore mischievous, a, ud p sistcd long in annoyiug or tyrannizing o:r the test, the herd, to all appearances, consr cd, aud theu, uiaking a united effott, drre the troublers off the ground. The membs of a rookery have also been observed to ias turns iu supplying the need of a family redi cd to orphanhood. All these are acts of r son, in no respect different from similar as of men. Moreover, although there is uohe lage of accumulated kuowlege among the lo er animals, as there it amougt us, they v susceptible iu some degree of those modiiio tions ot u at oral character, and capable f thoso accomplishments which we call aduc tiou. Tho taming aud domesticating of ai maU, and the changes thus produced upi their nature in the course of generations, n results identical with civilization amougst ok selves ; aud the quiet, servile steer is probal as unlike the original wild cattle of ihis coo try, ns the English gentleman of the preset day is unlike the rude baron of tho ago f King John. Between a young, uubrokt horse, and a trained one, there is, again, I the difference which there is between a wi youth, reared at his own discretion iu it country, and the same person when he h been toned down by long exposure to the it fluences of refined society. Ou the accon pi ish merit required by animals it weie supc lluous to enter nt any length : but I may adve to the dogs of M. Leonard, as remarkable c. amples of what the animal intellect may b trained to. When four pieces of card ute (ai down before them, each having a number pr nounced once in connection with it, they wil after a re-arrangement of tho pieces, aeler any one named by its number.

O extensive combinations of thought we hav no reason to believe that any animal is capa uie ana yet most ol us must teel the force Sir Walter Scott's remark, that there wa scarcely any thing which he would not beliew f dog. There is a curious result ofeduc lion in certain animals, namely, that habi si which ihey have beou trained in some iustauce become hereditary. For example, the accom plishment of pointing at game, although a pure result of education, appears ia the young pp, brought up apart from their parents and kid. xne peculiar leap of the Irish horse, acquis fn vl a f . hid vu-oth oi iravcrsiog a Doggy conot "ft - ma . uereaiiannese. of , spec uaui-a suggests a relation to that form 0f psychological demonatration usuallv callt ii. stinct; but instinct is only another term f5r min4 a. m!J a - I mind, or is mind in a peculiar stage of davd operoent ; and though the fact were otharwisi lt could not effect the postulate, that d stiatmns such as have been enumerated are mainly intellectual demonstration, not to be distinguished as such from those of human be ing. V. '-.:J;';-"---"' More than this, the lower animals mani. fested mental phenomena long before man existed. While as yet there was no brain ca pable of woiking out a inathematicai problem, the econ omy of the " six-sided figure was ; ex emplificd by the instinct of the bee. Ere hu man musiciau had whistled or piped, ihe owl hooted iu B flat, the coocoo bad her song of a filling third, and the chirp of the cricket was iu B. The dog aud ihe elephant prefigured the sagacity of the human miud. The love of a human mother for her babe was anticipat ed, by uearly every humbler mammal, the car naiia uot excepted. The pea-cock strutted, the turkey blustered, and the cock fought for victory, just as hurnau beings did, and still do. Our faculty of imitation, on which so much of our amusemeut depends, was exercised by tha mocking-bird; aud the whole tribe of monkey must have walked about the pre hu man world, playing rfT those tricks in which we see the comicality and mischief-making ol our character so curiously exaggerated." Here was a general titter ; some looked at 11oh1, some at Dickens, some at a portrait of Theodore Hook ; while a few dropped a tear to the memory of Sydney Smith. At the same time Cruikshauk was there taking a sketch of the scene. To this, view ot the subject, I will add on ly ono other. As man has beon developed from the inferior animal, so a higher order of being may yet be developed from man. Are ihey to enlave us? If so, will we have any claim to fieedom ? Wo will be as much be low those superor being as the higher order of animals ate below us, and our inferior have the same right to fieedom from us, that we will have from the highei type of man that is yet lo come. All species are spiuug the one from the other ; it is all developemeut ; and shall we hold iu bondage our ancestry, the animals? A Cuvier and a Newton are hut expansions of a clown, aud ihe pcison em phatically called tho wicked man is one whose highest moral feelings are rudiment. il. Sm h differences are uot confined to our species ; they are only less strongly marked iu many t M ol Hie interior auimais. i nere are clever dogs' jut then, a if to prove that theie might also be wicked dogs, two fine hounds that had followed iheir masters to the place of meeting, commenced fighting. Whereupon, a learned Bishop was heard to repeat 4i Let dogs delight to bak aud bite. For God hath made tfitm so.''' ; and wicked horses, as well as clever men and wii ked men; aud education sharpens the talents, aud in some degree icgulates the dispositions of animal a well as our own. 'I beg leave, ihereloie, to oiler the follow ing resolutions : 1st. That it is expedient and just hence forth lo embrace the more intelligent of the iu feiior animals, as dogs aud horse, elephants aud nioukies, &c, iu all ur schemes for emancipation. 2udly.

Oue said it wtmld be intuiet-t iug to consider this subject iu connexion with thedoctiiue ol' Metempsychosis. It might be that some ol the infoiior auimais contained tho souls of some near lelatives, or dear fi ionds. Lord Russell said that some folks would theu have lo give up sugar and collou alto gether, because both negroes and horses are employed in making toeui. Aud tea aud co coauuls also, since the moukies are employed in gathering them. Aud butter, too, stid another, because dogs churn it. Sir Robert Peel said that theu the dogs and mules would clamor for representa tion iu Parliament, aud ihoro were asses euough there already. The paper and i evo lutions wore then laid ou the table. Sir Richard said he would send over copies to bis coriespnudcuts in the United States, aud ask ed Mr Macaulay to send some to that 44 largtt, enlightened, and respectable body of Ameri can citizens who hated slavery, &:.," as he had said in his eloquent speech. Mr Macau Jay assented, and said he would also send one lo the American Secietary of State, hoping thereby to enlighten his miud. After all this the Society adjourned. A WIFE WORTH HAYING. The distinguished William Wiit, within six or eight mouths after his first marriage, became addicted to lutempcuucc, th effect of which operated strongly upon the mind and health of his wile, nnd iu a tew month more he was numbered with the dead. Her death led bun to leave the country where he resided, aud move to Richmond, where he soou rose to distinction. But his habits hung about him, aud occasiouahy he wa- found iu jolly aud frolicsome spirits iu bacchanalian revelry. His true friend expostulated with him, to con vince hiin ot the iujury he was doins himself. But he still persisted. His practice began to fall off, and many looked upon him as ou the sure road to ruin. He was udvised to gel married, with a view of correcting his habits. This be couseutod to do, if the right person offered. He accordingly paid his addresses to a Miss Gamble. After some month at tentions, he asked her hand in marriage. She replied : , i4 Mr Win, I have been well nwaro of your intentions for some time, back, and should have given you to understand that your visits were uot acceptable, had 1 not reciprocated the affection which you evinced for lire. But I cauuot yield my assent uutil you make a plege never to taste, touch or handle any in toxicating drinks." -- , r , This reply to Mr Wirt was as unexpected a it was novel. His reply was, that he re garded the proposition as a bar to all further consideration on the subject, and left her. Her course to him was the same as evcr-bis resentment and negtecfIh the course f of a few weeks be went again, and again solicited her hand. .; But her reply was, her mind was made up. He became iudignanf, aud regard ed the terms proposed as insulting to his honor, and avowed it should be the last meeting they should ever have. He took to drink- ing worse and worse, and seemed to run head long to miQ.ZrpBrZ'-' v - - vx -: , One day, while lying in the outskirts of the city, near a little grocery or grog shop, dead drunk, a young lady, who if is not uecossary to name, in passing that way to her home, not far off, beheld him with hi face; upturned to the ray of a shorching sun. She took ber handkerchief with her own uame ma ked up on it, and placed it over his face After he bad remained iu that way for some hours, he was a wake tied, aud his thirst being so great, he went iuto the little grocery or grog-shop to get a drink, when he discovered the handker chief; which he looked at, and the name that w a on it. After pausing a few mitiutes, ho exclaimed : j "Great God ! who left this with me? who placed it on my face V No one kuew7 He dropped hi glass exclaiming, "Enough! euough V He retired instantly from tho grocery, for getting his thirst but not ihe debauch, the hand kerchief or the lady vowing, if God gave him strength, never more to touch, taste or handle intoxicating drinks.

"Then,"' said the disenthralled Will, 44 I accept ihern." They were soon married, and from that day he kept his word, arid his affair brightened, while honors and glory gathered thick upon his brow.

How many noble minds miglit the young ladies save, if ihey would fol low tho example of the heroitie-hetrted Miss G., the f lend of humanity of her country, aud the relative of La Fayetta. THE EASTERN WORLD. Iu the Chusan Archipelago, as we are told by Capt. Cuiiuiiighame, the fishermen are very unmet ous, and they provide themselves with large quantities ol ice, iu which the fish caught are immediately packed, and thus bear without injuiy, liuuspoitatiou iuto the intciior where Ihey arc consumed. Large depots of ice are placed along the coa.-t, but ihe EuglUh were a.-touUhcd to find that it was never used to cool the drink of the inhabitants.

'1 he invalid bared his back, and a comrade nibbed it with a handful of the cop. per coin ol the cooiitry called cash, uutil the blood neaily rushed through iho skin, and il was highly irritated aud inflamed. Small pieres of fle.-h were plucked from his body, aud pins were d iveu iuto Ihe legs of the rheu matic. In our owu country cah is a remedy for most of our chrouic complaints, but is not always effectual. Death claims hi- victim iu spiio of pill, potion, or fee. The loss of life sustained by the Chiuese iu their battles with the English was moic owing to their own fears, than ihe fire of the e.iemy. Upon entciiug oue largo town, the captors were horrified by ihe dreadful sights ihey wit nessed. Tailar und Chiuese soldiers, say oar authority were lying dead iu all diit etion-; women either poisoned or with their throats cut by tho hands of their own husbands and father?, aud children by those of Iheir own mothers. Many a poor little infant lay help loss ou the ground, deserted by its mother, who haJ hang or drowned herself. Iu oue hooe alone sixteen women aud children were found dead, some from Iho effect of poison, but the larger number with Iheir throats rut from ur to ear. Il is a question indeed of no liitlo moineul how far the English have been justified in carrying destruction into a country which was only exeicising its undoubted sovereignty in piohihiting the use oi opium. There i the same inconsistency of chaiaclur iu Na tions as individuals. Tho English are fore most in sending the Bible am .ng the heathen; they have become the staunchest opponents of Slavery, aud yet they could invade China under the flimsiest prctex., and scatter luiu and desolatioti among au unofl'etidiug people. Self-destruction is practised among the Chinese very frequently, under the iuflueuce of supposed necessities. Thus we are told, if a person in office has probably offended the Emperor, or has become uiueo I II ins U1I.III.S, lie CUU III Il lend U OOUI hm, gives them an entertainment, makes a veitnl will, by which be dispose of his re maining goods, aud then quietly sealing him self before them, rips open his bowel and die u rneir presence. So tar from ineir enaeav oriug to persuade him from the act, he is en couraged to do it, and in many cases they quite envy the glory of his exit, aud wish they loo were ruined ! Very probably if this i n deep-seated and ordinary practice, the English government will raise a revenue from it by granting licen se to tbe unhappy to kill themselves. It is very certain that iu India large sums were re ceived for a lime from the priests of Juggher naut under similar circumstances.4:: ; f; . - One of the peculiarities of the Chinese Is iheir fondness for long' linger nail. ?
