S, Blair fop « copybf the “ Covodo Investigation.” The Slave Trade and Coolie Trade Lord John Bussell hu issued a dispatch from ,th® foreign office i&relation to the slave, trade, flic purpose df which is to enlist Christian na . tions in a more energetio effort.to suppress it.— The document, >U ig said, will be. officially laid : befpro, Congress at the commencement of the session, as the basis of legislation, if our gov ; orament shpuldopprove of thoiplan. He states ; it ns a lamentable facttbiitthis trade bos groat jy increased in the last two years, and ascribes it to the demandwhich exists in Cuba and simi lar countries,for labor adapted to hot climates; . This he proposes to supply by Coolies from • China. HP thinks that the trade in Coolies may be put under snob regulations as to . remove all its objectionable features. Under the regula tions which have been introduced by the agent in China of her majesty’s government, in con junction with the aliied authorities at Canton, it has been found practicable to induce whole families to emigrate. A considerable' num ber of such families have emigrated to Demara ra, and be thinks there is. every reason to hope that with time and care the prejudices which have hitherto prevented the Chinese women from •migrating may be entirely overcome. He makes therefore, to the Christian Government and the world the following propositions, with a view to the.final extinction of the slave trade. .Ist. A systematic plan of cruising on the coast of . Cuba by the vessels of Great Britain, Spain And the United States. 2d, Laws of registration and inspection in the Island jof Cuba, by which ihtf'employment of |slaves imported contrary to law might be detec j ted by Spanish authorities. ‘ i Bd.

Dr. Cahill, 6f Ireland, recentlymadea tour through this part of the country, Mid while in Pittsburgh wrote a very interesting letter to his old home. The letter is mainly descriptive! of his trip from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh, arid although there are some inaccuracies, such as & traveller might easily fall into if he did not tike notes as he passed along, yet he painty oar sub* lime "mountain scenery in , the most glowing and gorgeous colors; A few extracts will suffice! to give tlw reader an idea of the learned Doctors impressions of the great State of Pennsylvania: “There was an additional reason for staying at Altoona on Friday night; because if I had proceeded to' Pittsburgh' by the night mail I should bave lost perhaps the very most gorgeous and snbiime mountain scenery in America. And moreover; I could not have seen the allnost in credible fact of the steam carriage with five cars attached ascending the summit of a moimtam.se ■ienhundredfeet above the level of Altoona. There is the feat of American: go-a-headism in steam locomotion; there it is to be seen by the Euro pean ; viz: the iron horse galloping against the hill, at the rate of twenty miles an hour, the metal-laugh of the cylinders puffing and panting , as two hundred passengers ride up a gradient or elevation of ninety-six feet in the mile. This pro digious feat our metal steed performed in iny presence without whip or spursometimes creep ing over, dry ravines two hundred feet deep;! or again hanging on the side of the perpendicular mountain-; at least one hundred and fifty feet above the sticky, deep, yellow river Joniata be low- I shall write those two days’ journey ip a regular order | presuming that no description of mine con adequately paint or express the'mar velous, novel and wealthy .landscape which pre sented and spread out its natural and cultivated beauties at efrery turn of this enchanting pass. **** ■ * * “ All ,Europe goes in a slow coach, as com pared with this American progress; and it is true to say that the entire genius of this country seems to bp forever on the stretch to devise a more expeditious and a'newer mode of arriving at the goal of all civil, social, commercial and political enterprise. And when one studies their institutions narrowly, it will be found that they ore singularly successful in thoir originality of plan, and rapid movement. And whether it be that this country being a new world and evpry one in it learning all he can in this new school, in the short space of time, one cannot decide; but, beyond all doubt, no one can deny that this American generation are oatstripping their Eu ropean sleepy cotomppraries in arts, in science, and even in professional, celebrity. ; , “ After having lost sight of •Philadelphia, and •being quite cleared away from the exquisite suburbs and villas of this great city, the line !of railroad lay through the richest agricultural valley I , have ever seen. This valley, for the distance of one : hundred and six miles, till we reached Harrisburg, was one uninterrupted chain of fields, sown under all kinds of grain, vix: oats, rye, wheat and Indian corn. The valley, each side of the road, varied from one mile to two miles wide ; beyond these limits a chain of low planted bills run parallel with the railroad. But whenever a break oc curred iathisicbaia, we could see in the distance of" miles and miles beyond, the same immense plain.of luxuriant growing grain, spread out as far os the eyfe could carry. When we know that a squpre mile contains six hundred and forty acres of land, and when we know that ten miles wide by one hundred miles long contains oho thousand square miles, or 644,000 acres of laud; and if we say that each of these acres produce ten barrels of wheat, we have hero upwards of six: million barrels of wheat in this Valley, :in one narrow strip from -Philadelphia to Harris burg. Being dll fee-simple estate without tithes, rents, or taxes, save the small local taxes of the district, oho can well comprehend the wealth of this State, and again the prosperous commercial position of tho neighboring city. * -,i •# * * *: “We crossed the Susquehanna river at Har risburg by one of these wooden bridges which the Americans sink, construct, and finish in. a month! Of all men living, the American tradesman is most skiilfal in works of wood !i An American is born a carpenter, a coach maker, a builder, and architect; his whole genius :is wood, be is all wood, except his head, and I pledge my word he has no wooden head.” After describing the wild, romantic scenery of the Jnniata Valley, with the pen of an en thusiast, the Doctor adds. “ This Scene of beauty in Nature shall never be effaced' from my memory, or be forgotten by .my Irish heart as long as I live-. On arrivjng at Altoona and conversing with fellow travellers, ! •learned from them that the universal impression made upon all travelers of all nations is—name ly, that there is nothing of this kind, of landscape more beautiful in the whole world.” The Doctqr next finds himself upon the Alle gheny mountains, and describes what he saw and fell as follows: “ The Ravines so beautifully planted beneath, and the tallest trees, not reaching half the way up to our own iron pathway, was, indeed, a thrilling sight; and tho passage where the tramway Was cut into the side of the almost per pendicular mountain, ; with two hundred feet Of a peak oyer our heads, and nearly two hundred feet of a iglen, with, a deep river below, is one'of those nervously chilling experiments which, for the first time and trial, do tost the courage of the .tourist. But there has not been even one disaster on this line of road since its opening, such has ; been tho caution of the officers, and snob has been the perfection of the .carriages and horses. At-one point of tho road, called the “Pack Saddle,” (so called from tho shape of the opposite mountain) there is a vista doubly sablimo--that is, it is that description of sub- June which partakes equally of the terrible and beautiful. And, indeed, to any one who can fancy a.steam carriage moving round a narrow gutter under the eaves of a house, where the height of the wall is one hundred and fifty feet, and where .a deviation of the machine precipitates the ravished tourists into the fatal deep without the shadow of an escape—this pack saddle vista will be admitted hy all poetical traveling men: to be a true and correct exemplification of the “ doubly sublime.” For my part I was rejoiced when I learned that the pack saddle experiments bad been ( cqnoluded.. This passage was partly serial, partly terrestrial and partly aquatic; and altogether, this successful engineering of the American genius over the air, land and water, does raise considerably in my mind even my for mer favorable impressions, of progressive, ad venturous Americanism. Hg/ltsd Wind Stobhs.—A heated wind storm passed oyer a.portion of Kansas recently, which proved nearly as destructive to animal life as the recent tornadoes that visited with such ter* riblo effect portions of lowa. The' wind rose about half past ten o’clock, in the morning, and continued untilthreo o’clock in the afternoon. At one o’clock the mercury rose to 119 J°, and continued so for about an hour, and then gradu ally began to decrease. The effect can scarcely be imagined. The wind blew a brisk gale, car rying with it a sulphurous smell. Two men in attempting to cross the country from lola to Humboldt, (distant eight miles,) were overtaken and perished. , There were three others at Hum boldt, who were caughte\it with teams, which per ished, the men alone surviving, and ore now in a fair way to recover. There was scarcely a chicken left in the country. Hogs and cattle fell in their tracks and were suffocated. Yari oos conjectures and reasons as to its course are given, hut *ll unsatisfactory.

L On the 25th of Jane last, a youngman named Berkeley Woodward, a native of Pennsylvania, was-killed m an encounter with ,a grizzly 1 bear, near San Antonio, Monterey bounty, California. A companion narrates the particulars of the af fair as follows : ; “It Was on Monday, the 25th of June, that this man left the-plaoe where he was encamped to go in search of some cattle, which appealed to be missing; While on his rambles, he came upon the tracks of a grizzly bear, and followed them into the mountains as far as he could ride. Then he dismounts, ties his horse to a tree, takes his rifle .and follows in the tracks of the dangerous animal until he overtakes it; then be goes to within twenty feet of it and fires from behind a rock. He leaves his rifle leaning against, the rock and makes for some trees, but the bear is too fast for him; he has not even the time to nse,his revolver. The bear throws him to the ground and chews bis head and face nearly to pieces, he being left entirely blind.— In that most horrible condition he .wandered for about three quarters of a mile down the creek, towards where his horse was tied, at times walking, at times tumbling and rolling down the rough rocks, until through exhaustion he lay down and died. In that state be was found four days after being missed. “ I have taken the pains to send you this com munication, hoping that you will insert it or part of it in your paper, with the request that all Pennsylvania papers will copy , so that Mr. Woodward’s Widowed mother may learn-of her ton’s untimely end. 1 was one of the persons who went in search of him, and 1 can vouch for the truth of what is written. He had but lately come to this vicinity to live, and none of his best friends know that he has any relatives in this State. Ho mentioned that be had a mother living in Pennsylvania, but we cannot recollect in whst part.” Feunois Sylvester. A Philosophbu’s Pbedictio.v at Fa^lt.— Nearly one hundred years ago Voltaire resided at Geneva. One day he said to some friends, in a boastful and sneering tone :—“ Before the Nineteenth Century Christianity will have dis appeared, from, the earth !” Well, in that same house, in that eame room where these impious words were spoken, what think you there is to day ? A large deposit of Bibles ! The snored books fill the house from the floor to the ceiling. So much for Voltaire’s prediction.
