On account of the cheapness of the fuel at New Castle, in England, salt is produced there by evaporation of sea waier; about 30 tons of water produce one Ion of salt.

A CHINESE MUSTER. A note appended by the French Transla tor to a work of a late Russian Consul, on Chins, contains a description of a great Ke- view of the Chinese army, which took place in the plain of Vanchen-va, a league and a half snajs-east of the r.ity. , rius t.ccount is given by M.' jeontieii, i who resided for a long lime at Pekin. , i We set out, says he, at two hours nasi rnidniihl, and were drawn over the frozen mud in the streets. without meeting a living: soul.: The watchmen only, seated In their! boxes, lighted by small lamps, struck llieif j stBiTs on hearing the sound ofonr carriage.

At the ffste of the city, which was only hall open, the guard examined by tho aid of pa per lanterns. Uiose wnii presimicu uie.iieeirce to go out In this way we passed through the narrow streets which le( ti the plain of Yanchcn.? In this open plain - was long file extending from cast to west of great ln terns, on which were hung leaves 01 mi pa per beaiitig the inscriptions which indicated the names of the divisions there assemhled. These lanterns were suspended on poles be fore each division, beginning from the cast nt the division "fihe red flag. ; 't he soldiers, vho were pressing about the lanterns, ap peared occupied in assembling and nrrang iug themselves iceording to their rank. Our carriage stopped at (he west of hiaund on which was a great blue tent, turned to wards the south. - . At the east and west of this tent were great lanterns hung on long nnUe anrvinor to cive hitht to the lent; at the south east and west, smaller tents had been arranged for the military chu fii. , After having examined whnt was passing on this hill, we went towards the troops, and we had not gone more man a hundred pccs when we approached the cannon.

The siihliers lhcrl begin to place themselves in rows before the blue cloth tents ileuined for officers. 7- I returned lo my carriage and awaited the arrival of the officers.' In the cast, the hea vens began to grow pule the moon hoeame dim, and inclining towards the west, finally disappeared. ; The lautrrs before the lines were all taken down and extinguished. At last the persons appointed bv the Emperor to inspect the troops, arrived in palanquins, and entered the tent which was on the hill. The troops were then arranged in three ve ry long lines, extending from east to west. The thtee cannon mentioned above, were each discharged in succession. The recital I am about to make, will, 1 think, cieate surptisc. To load a cannon they put in a certain quantity of dayao, (a coarse powder com posed principally of charcoal mixed with small portious of nitre and sulphur.) They fill up llie touch-hole with a finer powder, in Which nitre predominates they set fire to it with a match of twisted paper. The fire having reached the charge, the dy-yao begins to crackle! the cannon moves back and forward, and a minute elapses before it goes off. I was not an eye witness of what I have related, but 1 was told so hy tho oah nonicrs themselves, The cannon exercise was succeeded by gun-firing. About a twatilielh part of the men only fired, begin ning in the 'middle of the ranks, and finish ing at the extremes. Every row fired in turn, first making a movement forwatd to the disorderly sound of the drums before mentioned. This -tort of fusillade was re peated six times. After this, each rank ef fected a retrograde movement, accompanied by a fusillade like the preceding, and re gained .its former position. Then began a general firing, in which the soldiers ol the nni, discharged their pieces in the air. that they might not wound their com rades, and for fear loo that the charges should fall to the ground, for the Chinese do not ram down their charges, not making use of ramrods. In this way the infantry to the number of 20,000 men terminated ita evolu tions. During the exercise, the cavalry, offieets, and men were assembled al the light and left of the hill near ihe principal flags ranged like small atcs of a sircle. This cavnldry, nt a signal given by the mii'ic, went over to l!ie opposite sides in the most complete dis- 1 order. : Those who had good horses went first, those who were badly mounted follow ed as they could. This movement letmi 11 a ted the review, after which the comrades, officer and simple soldiers, dispersed with out observing any order. Those soldiers who had guns, wore blue nankin coals, bordered wilh while.

The lute London papen give a detailed re port of the proceedings at a targe assembly in ' the lla'l of St. Andrews, at Norwich, where Father Maihevr. the Irish Apostle of Temperance, and ihe Bishop of Noraich, met upon a platform in presence of the . a- sembly, Mie Hail is one ol the iinest in the ; kingdom, and alinottgli it is capable ol accommodating from 5.000 lo 0,000 p 'onle1, it was crowded to suffocation on this occa-' ion. When Father Mathew entered, the whole assembly rose in matte, and greeted him for several minutes with tho most en thusiastic cheering. I his was immediately followed by a musical composition arranged for the occasion, entitled "Tribute to Father Mathew," which was most efficiently and tastefully exetted by full band of vocalists, acGompmied by " the superb organ. ' The presiding officer look the chair and address ed the meeting. He was followed by anoth er genilem, who made a speech of some length- During the address of this speaker the Bishop of Norwich enlei s I, kud appear ed upon the platform. He was received in ihe most enthusiastic manner by the assem bly, who rose and cheered tremendously, J the ladies waving tneir iiandkercnieis. hen the speaker had concluded, llie Uisli op of Norwich rose and addressed the os- sembly amidst the warmest applauses. He began by waving that he should meet with obloquy for appearing in that place, and that lis had been advised and urged to ihe elev enth hour, from prudential considerations to remain away. Hut it was a rsuse in which his Jul v, and ilie inward dictates ofJiiscjHv science urged him lobe there. He should hare fell himself degraded and disgraced if ho had yielded to the motives winch had been suggesteiLio iuduceJiini- to JvmauL. a way. It was the, spirit of the Almighty which JiiMaletl' to lilm thai he should 0 on in support of llie cause of honesty and virtue,; Then, addressing .I'athei Maihew yrho rose amidst enthusiastic applause, he added, "And now reverend sir. and friend from an other island, allow me to greet you. I meet you not here ns a Koman Catholic Priest.- I differ from your creed;-and J candidly and openly aVjOW in your presence, and before tins great assembly, that I am Hostile to It. Hut reverend sir I meet you hete in a more noble and comprehensie character. I meet you no! us r priest, but like myself a Chris tian brother." The Bishop then crossed he- fore the Chairman -and extended his hand to Fatlter Mathcw, which was cordially clasp-! ed and heartily shaken by the latter, amidst ihe designing cheers of Ihe thousands of ihe ', assembly. He proceeded, I meet you, I repeat it, as a Christian brother upon neutral ground where all denomination of Chris tians may delight lo visit and 10 unite togeth er, in a comrr.t.n and holy cause. 1 have watched your conduct sit, for many a year. Yes sir, long since, as you may remember, when 1 censured you in public, nay, may I not add, abused you I have watched your proceedings. The public reports upon which I founded those proceedings, I subse quently discovered lo be founded in maligni ty and falsehood." The Dishop proceeded to relate in what manner he had been unde ceived in regard to llie character and objects of Father Mailiew, and lo give a t ketch of his history. He had been publicly known, he said, for twenty five years, in which time he had never mcdi'led in politics, or mixed with any niritation, lie was a meek and spiritual minded man. The Dishop spoke of the labors of father Mathew since he had been in England, after which he said, ''I feel that this temneranee movement is a cause which, ought not to be subverted. Manchester has been referred to by the last speaker. 1 know that place and can speak of tho wonderful workings of tempermce there. Where did this excellent svstem commence? Its birthplace was the land of freedom, in America raised by the defend ants of Utitish blond, it winged its wav to this quarter of the wotld. Hut where did It alight? Not in England, but in the 1'iotes lain town of Be'fast, where it began, not with the Catholic, but With the Protestant clergy.' The Ilishop-proceeded to speak of the triumphs of the cause, the effects of which he had witnessed and also of the opposition which it had to encounter. He concluded by saying that he had felt it his duty to roine there and deliver his sentiments opon me subject.. "Men ol Norwich," said he, "citizens of this ancient town! to you 1 address myself, and taking Fthei Maihew by the hand and leading liiin forward, - he added, '-I call upon you to receive this wan derer upon a sacred mission; give him a Christian welcome, for he comet to do a Christian work. (Here ihe who' assembly rose,) I trust you will not be led away by the ribaldry I have alluded to. Heeeive him in thai spirit of honestChristianchnt i;y, in which as Englishmen you are bound lo do. Aid him in carrying out this great work of temperance, which will be the means of maintaining England, as it ever has been, first and foremost amongst the kingdoms of the worid.

Eather Mathew rose lo re'ply, and wos greeted Wilh a hurst of applause which lasted some minutes. . He was much a (Tec led, ami it was with difficulty he could five utterance lo his feelings. What he had just seen and heard, he said, was indeed joy- j fill. He felt truly thankful for the manner j in which he had been received." ; Still, he J knew ihe applause was not due to himself out to uiu .I'auscy . icvcr urciure nau ma eyes seen, or his ears heard such a scene as that at which he had now been present.

Benrds- ley," of New York. The New York Bulletin, in giving plsce to the announce ment, sayi: Something lite a year ami a nail ago Mr. Ualehelder, the groom aforesaid, was united in marriage to s ladv whose health was so delicate that they immediately set sail for Vera Cruz, in the hope that ihe voyage would ba beneficial lo her. J hey had I for fellow passengers Mrs. E. Con- slantu Heardsley, the bride aforesaid who was accompanying her then husband, to Vera Cruz Tor "the improvement of his health. But fate had ordained a disappoint ment to both parties, and Mrs, Bateheler and Mr. I)eardley both went "the way of all flesh," The bereaved widower, as soon as propriety would admit, addressed him self lo the disconsolate widow, and propo sed, as a consolation to their respective afflictions, that they should supply to each other tho places of their dear departed mates. But Mrs. Bcart'slev, for some cause or other probably or, as she is a woman, perhaps from no causedeclined the pro posal. But Mr. Balchelder was determin ed riot to remain in his bereaved state and consequently made love to another latly. with whom he was more successful, and who received him and his offer of his heart and hand with ad thefavoi he could desire. According to tho rules and regulations "down easl," the forthcoming marriage of Mr. Ualehelder and Ins new name war du ly "published in the parish church, and all was going on 'Mefrily aa ihe marring br!!," when, on ihe Saturday preceding the Tues day on which the marriage was published to take place, Mr. Balchelder; had the happi ness to receive from lite relenting widow Bcardslcy a letter, in which she withdrew her declination of his offer of marriage, and acknowledged herself ready, to make him happv, if he yet rested under the idea that his happiness could be influenced by her. Here was "a oo" indeed and one well cal culated to puzzle almost any wan.- . How Mr. Balchelder got out of his dilemma is l fart told by the announcement which has drawn from ns this story, the uktold part consists in tho interestinjr fact that he hid to p iy the disappointed bride that xa to be two thousand one hundred do'lars for : breach of, his promise In her..

" We find however that some of llie emigrants who ' have resched Oregon are dissatisfied wilh ihe rounlry and contem plate going to California this Spring." . So says a letter in the Iowa I lei aid, from one of the seillers, who for his own part likes the eounli y very well. and expecis to end liis days, there. He 'describes1 the Oregon region ns rough and broken, generally hea vy timbered, principally with fir, yellow pine, cedar, hemlock, oak, ash and maple well watered, with about one-tenth prairie of excellent quality.

It was one of the most heart-rendering scenes the eye ever beheld, lo look upon the mental ruins of this beautiful female to encounter that wild and frantic eye and to listen to the incoherent and unmeaning eon- versation of one whose reason has stranded. On Ihe Sabbath she arrayed herself in her bridal dress, and wandered over the fields plucking flowers, and decking herself with fantastic ornaments, piercing the car and the heart viththe frantic calls for her lover. Mrs. Aymer buried her only child in New Ymk the past summer, and is now verily a- lone on the bleak waste of life, without a star to guide her frail and shattered bark, and without a beacon light to warn her of quicksands and shoals. The ravages of the yellow fever have been great in Mobile for the population, and we have noticed several instances where whole family circles have been broken up by the ruthless hand of the fell disease. Truly the following, which we copy from the Herald, is a picture sad to look upon: "And then I, too, ttill lay me down and ditV A'most hourly in the day we hear of some instance of real distress, which is suf ficient to wring tears from a heart of stone ; where , some poor, unfortunate be.ng has lost by death all that bound him to earth, and Ihe last tie which held their affections are seveied A clay or two since, the moit hearf-rend-ing instance of affection and calm despair was told us, which we ever remember to have heard. It is this: Somo two or three weeks since, a lady of this city gave birth to a child, and while stillon her bed wilh debility, she was taken wilh ihe yellow fever. Mer child died, and her husbt nil and mother wete seized with the same disease. In a day or two after, a younger orotner was ianen iiown and as sill of the family, with the exception of una brother, was taken sick, the last one was carried to the house of a friend. In a few days the mother, who was first taken down, died her husband followed her shortly af ter. The aged mother recovered so far ae to be able to go and nurse her sick boy and in the meantime the elder brother, the last of the family Was also seized with the fever. The mother Watched with atnother's solicitude, the fast-ebbing life of her vou..g est boy, who was sinking inld deaih's em brace. Ere lone he loo died and in a few moments, when his bereaved parent saw her loss, site observed in a certain, tone which too plainly told of despair, "Now that heie dead, I will go home and iiurie'mv last child; and when he is Dead, I too, wilt fay me aownanajnw un, wno can tell, who ctn picture the agony of that bereaved and heart-broken woman! Words cannot do it, and none but a parent can feel that mother' misery.
