ill I' which we have Had the pleasure of i ng during our absence, was one .of some WjnJ pupils from the New England In stitution or the education of the blind and of some mutes, froiiuhe New York Asylum before the Virginia Legislature. Tb.e blind came to Richmond under the protection of Dr. Samuel G. Ho we, ana the deaf and dumb under the care of Mr. F.E.Barnard. The object of the visit waatpf demonstrate io the.inerabers of t!le Legislature; how completely these barriers to the mind's 'enlightenment may be overcome, and to impress upon that ody the wisdom, nay the humanity, of profiairrg the means of instruction for a large piortion of their afflicted population. The dgiee-. of intelligence attained by somekf these pupils was such, as to cause he blush 'of shame to rise unbidden, to the cheeks of many of their fellow men, who were thus pointedly and poignantly reminded, that though in the full enjoy; merit ol alUbeir faculties; .they had failed to store, the mind to the same fulness. Indeed, studious must be the.habits, and retentive twe memory, that would vie in knowledge with some of these interesting - youths. Had we-time and space, wo . could relate much that would interest and instruct our readers on this subject; but 'a. few-remarks and a few definitions ore all that wo can now give. We were r particular' impressed viih the different ruling passions of three of these boys. Qne was- a' military genius- who, upon - ine.ueition yeing asked w.no was tne greatest' Vrrfa.nl- wlto had ever lived pomptli replied, "Napoleon." Another answer ' Howard," because he hud yisited the prison-house, and relieved the distressed. A third sard, that Jesus Christ was the greatest man who had ever lived -because he came into the world to I eare mankind When the last was asked ;to. define. Hbpthe wrote this answer rsupon the, black board : v 1 The ordinary emblem of hope is an anchor -signifying its sustaining power tin the midst of the calamities which assail man, like ocean-storms. Paul says Hope is an anchor to the soul, fsure and Steadfast. It is the rainbowfof the. Heaven oTHjei" ,;v ;v-::f;. .... 1 Hjaw beautiful, and yet how just Iow - surprising when we remember thatthe respondent was' a poor 'mute ! a being but half made up, and deprived of the&n- joyment Of two of the faculties for receiv ing and communicating knowledge. Hu-i inility was likened, (by one,) to a flower trampled upn yet giving out a grateful odour. But we' must not multiply, these examples i now, as we have'a word to sny of the blind. il When we walljed-into the Capitol, and saV poor blind girl, seated at the piano, and her heard the voices of three or four ol comDanions smsins " Home, sweet Home' bur feelings can tie more easily cone eived than described. . The appeal to heart was direct, the nccesa easy, the and we felt ourselves subject to all the kindlier and nobler feelings oi human te. INever 1 never aain ao we expect to hear that sweet song, under pre cisely,the same state of .mind for all the resupessVol feeling Was there, and we t heri first learned " that the blind are able .not cult merelv to DPrform many diffi- pieces, but that they' are acquainted with the theory of music : that thev have learned, riot by. rpte, but scientifically." 11 Thin k In g'ourreade rs w ould be in te r r ested in the subjoined extract from the, last Annual Report of the "New England In stitution for the education of the blind, we here give it. .'.v ', The system of intellectual education, adopted at the .commencement of the In stitution, has been assiduously and suc cessfully followed during the past year, and we can now realize its happyeffects. The upper classes bi boys, and girls are ' well versed in the grammar of the En glish language, in Geography, and Arith metic -The "first division is-- familiar with the principles of Natural Philoso nhy, embracing AstrorTomy, with the out lines of Natural Hist ry, and have been exercised in composition. - One section iVthdroughiy acquainted with Algebra, - and is engaged in the study of Geometry. Another section can translate, and con verse in the French language. A ll, ex A cept the very. youngest of the pupils, have been taught jd'read, spell, cipher, and rfre Tapidly acquiring tho rudiments ( f com mon education.- Many of them write a legible handi and can correspond Ayith ' their friends by mail. -: .' ' When Vve ay that many of our pupils ar good 'scholar! for their age, we do not mean merely that they are p ood in 'comparison with other blind children, but that they are quite" equal -in ac- ' quirements to boys and girls of their own aire in our-common schools and acade- Jrimj But, as in common schools there are some bright and precious minds, and tome dull dunces, so with ths blind, some are jTery intelligent; nd apt, others are ver stupid and almost . imbecile, - In shoU the experience of ur school proves (it indeed any proof be needed) that the original eapaeitrrthe intellect is precise, Jv the same in blind as in seeing chil- -dren;- Their ; intellects, however, cannot be developed by the cominoa modes oi education and Jtf is ioplV Jeculiarj processes of instruction that our Institu lion is established.' VV . I What will be the action oi the Legisla fure of Virginia, ufjorr this' interesting subject we ha ve yet to learn ; but if it does not make some provision for educat ing and improving the condition of so in teresting and numerous -a portion of the population of that State, then we make bold to assert, that with all her boasted supremacy, she is far behind many of her sister States in wisdom and intelligence, j Cecity j does not affect the intellect in any other way. than by depriving it of those external stimuli, and those artificial aids, which cause the development and activity of its various organs in t.he generality of mankind; If the same stimuli can be applied to the mind, through the medium of .the other senses, and jf the artificial aid, used in common education, can be applied; to the blin, by other artificial means, the effect upon the intellect, will be the same. Some of the perceptive faculties) indeed, can never be deve loped ; for the stimulus of light, th'e variety of shade, the countless combination of colors, and all the ideas consequent to them, must ever be wanting. But, on the other hand, there is com4 pensatioa in the superioi activity and nicely of thejienseof touch' and hearing; there is mor than compensation in the habh. and consequent power of coriccntiatiiig and directing the action of the mental' faculties ; and there is posi i ve advantage in the greater activity and tenacity ot the memory. 4 ' ; ; i . : I'"''.' COMMERCE OF WILMINGTON. r We present to our readers a view of the exports Irorri Wilmington, and the numj ber-of vessels employed in the year coith mencing lst.of November, 1836, and end ing .1st IVovember, 1837. There may be many omissions from the difficulty of pro curing full returns from the shippers re. sident Jiere, as well as from the absence, of some transient shippers; but it is pre sumed the following list is nearly, correct - at any rate it must be within bounds; The .val.ue.of 'statistics of this nature must be evident to all. It stimulates enterprise-: It shows, not only the value of our trade, but the character! of the various articles which go to make up the gross, amount.'

Yfc yope none of s.h high dignitaries1 the land will be averse to having the secjret revealed, as others who may wish to rise, may uot knaw the exact rationale. I 44 The emperor had -a mind one dav to entertain me with several of the'couniry shows, wberefn they Exceeded afl nations I Jiave known both 1 for dexterity and magnificence. I was diverted . with none so much as that of the1 rope-dancers, per formed upon i slender white thread, ex tended upon two feet and twelve inches from the ground.. Upon which I shall desire liberty, with the reader's patience, toenlarge a little. 'j i f "This diversion is ;only practiced by those persons, who are candidates for great employment, and high favour at court." I . " When. a great office is vacated either ; by resignation or dis grace (which often happens) five or" sfx of those candidates petition the emperor to entertainj his majeky! and the court with a dance on the rope, and whosoever jumps trrVhighfst without falling, suc ceeds in the office. Very often the chief ministers themselves are command ed to show their skjll, and to .convine the emperor, that thty have not lost their faculty. Flimnap, the treasurer, is al lowed to cut! a caper ori the strait rope ct least an inch higher, than anv other lord in the whole empire. I have seen him do the summerset several times together upon a trencher, fixedjon- a iope, which is no thicker than a common packthread in England. My frierid Rendresat, prin cipal secretary for private affairs, is m my opinion, if I am not nartlal. second af- erthe treasurer; the rest of the great officers are much upon; a par. " These, diversions are often attended with fatal accidents, whereof great num bers are on record. I myself have seen two or three candidates break a limb. But the danger i muchjgreater, when the ministers themselves are; commanded to show their dexterity ;- for, by the con tending to excel themselves and their fel lows, they strain so Ifarf that there is hardly one of them, who hath not received a fall, and some of them J two or three. I was assured, that a year or two before my arrival Flimnap youd have infalli bly broke his neck, if one of the king's cushions, that accidentally ;j lay on! the ground, had not weakened the force of his fall. . - I I i I "There is likewise another diversion, which is oniy shewn before the emperor and empress, and firlt . minister upon particula r.occasions. ?The em pero r lays on the table three fine silken threads of sii inches long; one-is blqe, the other red, and the third green. These threads are proposed as prizes for those person, whomthe emperor hath; a mind to dis tinguish by a peculiar mark of his fa vour. The ceremony is performed in his majesty's great chamber of state, where the candidates are to Undergo a trial of dexterity very different from the former1, and such as I hive not observed the least resemblance of in any other country of the old or, new worlcl. , The emperop holds a stick in his hands,b6th ends pa: rallel to the horizon, while the candidates advancing, one by one sometimes le.ap oyer the stick, sometimes creep nnder it backvvards and forwards I Several times', according as the stick is advanced or jde pressed. Sometimes the efifrperor holds one end of the stick, arrd the first mintstet the other ; sometimes the minister has it entirely to himself. Whoever performs his part with most agifity.fand holds cAit the longest in leaping ; and jtreeping, is rewarded with: the blue-coloured silk); the red is given to the next, and the green to the third, which they all wear girjl twice round about the middle; and you see few persons, about this court, who are not adorned with one of these girdles." j . r " - t 1 : Summerset, or summersault, n gambol of a tumbler,in wlilch.lft sprin? up.Jtu'rn heels over head in the air, and comes down upon his fet. , The subject of the criming commercial convention in Augusta is occupying the attention fmost of our southern towns.
