To those acquainted with Mr. Howxi, it would be quite superfluous for us to say that our Association has btecn agreeable, so tar as his deportment could operate upon it. Ha has not failed to elicit senti ments of friendship, respect and esteem, oh our part, which his character and demeanor are so well calcu lated to inspire.

A CARD. Owing to ncccasary inugeinenle, the undersigned will in lu'ure be compelled lobe absent from Wil mington during t lie most of his time, and lie js forc ed therefore to cli mgt- his connexion with this Paper. In concurrence with llio mutual views of the i'ro prietor nnd himself, nnd as suitable le his situntion. he will hereafter occupy ihe relation of Correspond ing Editor to the Commercial. In milking this change,- he begs leave to be per mitted to uiiikc lusgratelul bow editorial to the 1'uh lic, and to wish l hem a successful lulure. He thinks it but proper and just to stale, too, that his past con nexion with this Paper, has buin, to him, a pleusant and salisfaclory one; both in regard to his personal intercourse with in Proprietor, to Its political tenets, and above all to its warm and undevialing advocacy of the great caused Internal Improvement in North Carolina. I pon that cause a new light has recently then:-, and in it n new- impetus has been given. The last Legislature, throwing aside party shackles and ener vating prejudices, manlully and patriotically resolved to place i (Belt' in the breach, through which, the enp- Wiil, enterprize and productions of our bta., were flowing outward; to her great isapovsrishm nt, and to the enrichment and building up of other commu nities and Stoles Its members will have i heir re wind, and will hereafter be pointed to as the instru ments of a bright epoch in bur history.

Those who have been anxious for tho snnsatlnn of Canada to the United States, will find but I tic to encourage their hopes In the conduct of the eoplc of the Provinces. They hsve desecrated thsmost liberal branch ofjheir system'of Governmen nnd drove from their seats, in the midst of their deliera liona, ihejr own immediate represent lives living to mohvloldnce the reigns they have wrested from the people's sovereignty. This war upon th rcp rcsentat've system, which is tho princjpal fed (.re in tlie Canadian Government, ihot proximate ' own excellent polity, was accompanied by C-remd devns tsiion sialnt the works ofciviliz nion itid the uris: the destruction of Impirtunt records S' l precious literary lore.

At Manila we hud a pleasant lime: there are a greet muny Americans reR.dmg 'here who left no means untried to make our visit dtl'ghtful one. At Whampoa we will have an idle time I fear; it is here that ouresRels lake in their ca'goes. The old town of Whairipoa is forbidden to foreigners, bu' where we lie there is 0 new one built, where any thing can be hud that is Chinese. Tho river is not navigable, for lurge vessels further up. Canton is about fifteen m.les from Whampon, nnd has a small Yankee steamer iunn:ng up and down every day a queer sight I assure yeuuto see 9 smuil high pres sure bunt puffing up anedown a river In This part of ihe world, where every thing has tetn at a eland for so m my centuries. The steamer was brought out here in a vess. I, and has been so useful 10 Its owners Ihut 1 urn lold several more have been ordered. It is not more than twenty-five feel long, and looks more like 11 child's to than a thin? thai l"s almost worth its weight in gold. The Chinese weie very much n mused at it when ii first made its appearance, and being n propeller, ihey could not understand the philosophy 01 llie erult -, but I b. lieve by this time they h ive become used to it.
