The following ia on extract nf a letter from
tlie Editor of tlio Globe, recently on a visit tn
tht Hermitage :-We found llic venerable pv
(riot in mnch better health than I expected. He
was out on & littlo excursion in In carriage, on
nur arrival j and when he returned, he pave n
Welcome as affectionate as he could have given
a long-absent son. To-day wo went to church
together, where the sacrament wan administer
ed, lie was the first to lead the way to the ta
ble, to which ho waa followed by a multitude
of young men and women. I i!id not nee a
single gray head at the communion but his own
venerable, bleached, and bowed one. The
preacher who made the sermon waa a bny, ns lie
told me. ol twenty ; and the minister who offi
ciated in the rites, (Mr. Ijtpsley,) did nt
ser-m to be more than twenty-five years old.
There was a full church, and a greater num
ber of little children in the powsthan I evrrFaw
in a church before; yet there was the most pro
found quiet and reverence throughout the cer
emony. The remarks of the officiating minis
ter while administering the sacrament, wore
exceedingly impressive, and with singular pro
priety and pood taste, wholly exempt from the
slightest allusion to the Ftrikinjr figure which
contrasted so strongly with the younirand heal
thy train led by him to the table. On our re
turn from the church, I asked him if the house
was built before the death of Mrs. Jackson ?
lie replied that the church was built by her.
and was her church ; that the last time she e
er attended it was a sacramental occasion;
that she was extremely solicitous that he should
unite himself with the society, and that he was
strongly inclined to do so ; but that his attitude
then before the public would have subjected him
to the charge of acting hypocritically, which he
could not bear, as he detested hypocrisy more
than any other business. Dut he added that he
assured Mrs. Jackson, when he had left the po
litical scene, and his motives no longer liable
to misconstruction, he would comply with her
inclinations and his own, and join the chuich.
In the mean time, he would serve his God with
out associating himself with any religious so
ciety. Chinese Tools and Chinrse Mechanics
Though their iron work is not good, yet their
tools such as chisels, planes axes, &c, are ex
cellent, and kept very sharp. They make use
of the circular instead of the hand-saw. They
have a saw for particularly fine work, which, it
we had not seen them using, we should have
imagined tho work had been with a chisel.
The blade ol it consists merely of a single piece
of brass wire jagged with a sharp instrument.
The pattern to bo carved is placed on the wood,
und a hole is bored in it, through which the
wire is pasted and made fast to the handle,
which is kept outside the wood ; the drawing
is then cut out with the greatest care and ac
curucy. For all rough work, they make use of
a small soil of axe, slightly rounded on one side.
This answers the purpoi-e of an adze. In peace
ful times, the streets of a Chinese city mutt
present a very fine appearance, from the way
the front side-boards are puintcd and gilded.
The inside ot the shops are protected from the
sun ty screens extending across the streets,
supported tromthe roof of the house. Those arc
either matting, or, in order to admit tho light,
are of oyster-sheils scraped fine, set in frnuieB
like panes of glass. We set a great many tai
lor to work for us, who made things very well
it'they hud a pood pattern ; but it is necessary
to be careful that there was no defect or patch
in it, fur they copied exactly as they saw the
article before them. Our gloves puzzled them
most. Their first attempts to imitate them pro
duced most absurd looking things; but, as we
were not very particular about our personal ap
pearance, they answered the purpose of kecp
eur hands warm, being lined with fur. Only
one man succeeded in turning out a pair at all
resembling English gloves. They were almost
the only trades people v ho did not desert the ci
ty, they had always plenty to do.

Alter describing many disastrous occurrences,
the writer says :
"Suddenly I beheld the lifeless body ofa man,
in the prime of life, and near him a beautiful
young woman. he appeared absorlied in grief.
One could almost imagine her marble figure,
weeping over a tomb. In her cheeks was still
diicerniible the faint blush ofa rose, and a smile
was on her lips, and yet she was dead 1 A
young girl, to escape Irom certain death, rush

fell near her, and part of the ruins held her
firmly to the spot by the lower extremities.
She culled loudly for help ; the more so, as the
flumes appeared advancing with a giant's pace.
A soldier endeavored to extricate her, but in
vain. She then besought him to cut off her
two legs, in order to save her from the fire,
which had already reached her. The soldier,
yielding to hrr entreaties, drew his sword, and
prepared to rut the leira ; when, bis heart fai

evident that the btsly had been in the water
sometime. It is snppused to be the child of

(X The shoe and stockings above mentioned
have aince been forwarded to Mr. Sbipe, which he
recognised at once aa those which belonged to bis
child. The child, however, was only 4 years and
three months old when drowned; but the body
was probably much swollen when recovered, which
will also account for the loss of its clothing.
ry The editor of the Milion Ledger has l.iely

Wr hope, however, that he has got over hi pas

(jj Mech has been said of Into in regard to
commercial Ireity, for ihe purpose of adjusting and
settling the tariff question with England. Such a
thing of course cannot be accomplished without the
consent of Congress, and whether1 such a treaty
would be advisable is also a matter of speculation.
England feels the effects of the present tariff most
sensibly. American fabric are every wh' re su
perseding British manufactures in this country ,
and yet ihe prices never were lower than at pre
sent. The consequence is, that about thirty mil
linns in specie have arrived in our ports within
the last six month. The following etlnct of a
Idler from Mr. Webster, late Secretary of Slate,
my be regarded a containing the views of the
present a.lministiation, on this subject :
"The grain and corn producing S'ates must
always find the best market for tho surplus of
their products in the manufacturing and com
mercial population of the East; as they will al
ways find the price of manufactured articles,
Fuch as they need kept low, and the quality
pood, by the productions ol Eastern labor. But
so rich and abundant is the grain crop of the
country, that, beyond what maybe demanded
for the consumption of manufacturing' and com
mercial districts, there is still a surplus, for
which, or o part of which, a foreign market is
desirable. The cotton crop, too,thotigh it finds
a market at home, the value ot which, I think,
has never been sufficiently appreciated, re
quires, nevertheless, tree exportation, and a
large consumption abroad.

terests be brought into harmony and concert of j
