there are strong reasons for believing that

ASTONISHING DISCOVERY.—The Lon.
doorbell Journal of dm 27th ott. has a statement
of an astonishing discovery which was commu
nicated to the society for the. Impeestlment and
growth of Flax, held in Belfast. The fotlwing
extract contracts the truth of the-matter
"Mr. Owen referred to a discovery
Whit& his friend - Dr. Hodges would say
wsE worthy of - the deepest consideration
of every one present. Having heard some
time since that from. peat. there could be
produced , ammonia, naptha, soda-ash, oil,
spermaceti; and some other substances, he
left London for Paris, and called on an
eminent chemist there. He had previous
ly been speaking on the subject with a Mr.
Reece, also an eminent chemist. who told
hirri that that .for the expense of £3O he
could productr from • 1001 be. tifOsial
iral results to the' value of 2148. It was
Mr. Reece who referred him to the Paris
chemist, and he (Mr. Owen) produced it
to him, and repeated the statement of Mr.
Reece, as to what he could do with the
peat.. The formerassured him (Mr. Owen)
that he really could do all that he had sta
ted in the document. He then rang a hell,
and ordered the'resulu of his experiments
to be brought u p from his own laboratory,
and he (Mr.- Owen) sew with his own
eyes the sperm candles, made ; amnion
ia, the oil, and the soda-ash produced from
the peat ; and that chemist thtiught this
was the greatest discovery of the age, and
one which would eventually convert the
greatest curse of Ireland—the bogs, here

sings, and double the fertility ofthe soil,
to an extent that none could vittimate.—
Well he (Mr. Owen) being a man of busi
ness, declined to take any or all these state
ments for granted, and, consequently, lie
got a number of experiments made by Dr.
Hodges and his friend, Mr. Reece, which
were entirely confirmatory of all the state.
ments made by his friend, Mr. Reece.—
But still, not to deceive himself or others,
he was determined to have an experiment
made On a large scale, and had employed
the largest apparatus in use for that pur
pose ; and he rejoiced to tell this meeting,
that, on Tuesday last, his experiments had
been commenced, and the results were be
yond all expectation, for every thing had
succeeded to his utmost wishes. [Mr.
Owen here handed to the Chairman a sam
ple of the spermaceti so prepared by him,
which was minutely examined by his
lordship, and a great number of other gen

AN HONEST CONFESSION
In the summer 010117, at a Free'rrado
meeting in 'Canterbury, England, the Hon.
George &oldie, an associate of Sir Robert
Peel in the Govertimentyanti who suppor-:
tad all his measures for the relief of the
manufacturers, such as the, removal of all
duties from raw materials used by them,
and for the repeal of the Corn law duties,
which selfish measures, on the part of
Groat Britain, are called Free Trade, said :
"1 cannot quit this subject of Free Trade
without expressing my opinion on its ab
stract principle. I, by, so means, hold
that the principle of Free Trade is abso
lutely true, or that it is of universal appli
cation. If I were an American, the citi
zen of a young cotmtry,i should be a pro
tectionist s—if I were a Freedman, the
citizen of an old country, with its industry
undeveloped, I should equally be a protec
tionist."
Now, as we have before said, the truth
cannot always be concealed—it will out.
Adam Smith, the great father of the new
fangled doctrine, could not keep it, and
there is no stronger argument against Free
Trade than his maxim, we have an often
bad occasion to refe r s to, "that the home
market is the beat of all markees for the
rude produce of the land, and that what
ever has a tendency to retard manufac
tures discourages agriculture."
—But the Hon. Mr. Smythe, nn advo
cate of Free Trade, eta Free Trade meet
ing, has let out the tsuth known to him.
and we agree with him fully, in purport
of his confession,, that for Cheat Britain,
if she can so dupe all nations as to entrap
them into this theory, she would consum
mate her policy of universal dominion, for
Mr. Smythe well knew that, powerful as
is the sword. Free Trade would subjugate
to the British yoke, more countries than
she can hope to enslave at the point of the
bayont.--Mtily Nem.
A CHINESE DINNER
The Pennsylvanian publishes a letter
dated Macao Roads, Oct. 25, 1848, from
Which we take the following account of a
Chinese diplomatic dinner
It was during my stay at Canton that
the interview took place between Dr. Da
vie, U. S. Commissioner to the "Celestial
Empire," whom we brought out in the
Plymouth, and the Chinese Commissioner,
Sue-4 sight I would not have been depri
ved of for any consideration. It was held
•in one of their large "pack houses," as
they call them, some little distance from
the city. We had about twenty officers
present, and being in full uniform, of course
made an imposing show. Commissioner
Sue evinced a very friendly disposition,
and responded to Dr. Davis' observations
concerning the relations of the two coun
tries, in a warm and sensible manner for a
Chinaman.
After Dr. Davis delivered his creden
tials and the business was finished, we sat
down to a regular Chinese dinner of bird's l
nest soup, duck's feet, and I do not now re
member one-half ; but I do know that we
had nineteen courses of soup, of all of which
we, of course, had to partake, as not to
taste would have been considered unconr
teous. After we got through the Chinese
dinner, we had to commence on another,
cooked according to the Tartar fashion,
which was by far, more like ours than was
the Chinese. There were about one hun
dred Mandarins present, all waiting on,
and teaching us "outside barbarians' how
to use the "chop-sticks." These, you
must know, are two sticks something like
our pin -holders, only a little longer, with
which the Chinese eat all their food ; when
they eat rice they hold the bowl up to the
mouth, and shovel it in most dexterously
with these sticks ; and so, in fact, with all
their food, which, before cooking, is al
ways out fine.
The dinner. and indeed all the ceremon
ies of the day, passed of pleasantly and
happily, and we left for the city in a good
humor with our entertainers, not even sus
pecting we had eaten dogs, or cats, or rats,
as some began to imagine we had ; but I
do not and will not believe it. It is esti
mated by those initiated in Chinese affairs,
that each one eat about $lOO worth, or at
least what cost them that amount. You
can, therefore, form some idea of the ex
tent and magnificence, in their way, of the
entertainment. Ido not care particularly,
however, about eating another Chinese
diplomatic dinner, especially with chop
sticks, unless 1 see it cooked.
Mr. Davis is now living in Canton with
Dr. Parker, the Secretary of Legation,
who acted as interpreter on the occasion
of presentation. Our Commissioner is so
able and excellent a man, that he will be
much liked by these people, and thereby
be enabled to render great service to onr
country in its commercial relations ; but
I 'fear our Government will not have the
benefit of his valuable services long, as he
will not probably remain here over a year
Or two. W.
Cotonan MEN Ix P•tus.—ln one of the
recent leuers from Paris, Robert Walsh
says :---
"Our French paregraphists are not par
ticularly struck with the capacity of the
colored race to maintain republican insti
tutions;as it is exemplified in the monopo
ly of the products of the soil. and of all
traffic, internal and external, by the gov
ernment of Hayti. The colored man—
the true ebony—in the delegation of the
Antilles who sits in the centre of the Mon-
Agitadslit the Assembly, was the servant
of a white general resident in the capital.
An intimate acquaintance ol the master
told me, a few - days ago, that the represen
tative had not resigned his domestic poet;
whether frompersonal attachment or pru
dential motives, he would deserve credit
for either. A gentleman of New Orleans,
on a visit to Paris, relates to me that, a
bout a fortnight since, while seated on a
side box of the first tiers of the grand ope;
ra, he distinguished a colored family in the
one immediately opposite ; by his opera
glass he discovered that the head of ii,whom
he recognized, distinguished him, and was
about to come round to him by the lobby.
A feeling natural to a §outhtrn American
induced him to prefer that the interview
should not be in the box which ho occu
pied: He met the visitor in the lobby ;
the latter grasped his hand, and reminded
him-that he had been his tailor at New Or
leans. retired," he added, "with a
good property ; we are well settled here ;
,*that:s my box, once a week ; we shall be
happy to see you at our apartments."
CURIOUS SUIT FOR SLANDI.R.—In the
Cambridge (Mass.) Court of Common
Pleas, a few days since, a constable was
prosecuted in a suit for slander, brought
by a man against whom he had a civil pro
cess. The man had run oft on seeing him
approach, whereupon the constable pur
sued him, crying " stop thief." 'lle ju.
ry rendered a verdict fur the plaintiff, as
sessing the damages at six cents.

The most noticeable matters in the Senate ware,
on Monday week, a speech by Senator Mayes
on the subject of Land Titles and Gold Mines in
New Mexico and California, in opposition to •
bill reported by Mr. Demme fur regulating those
matters, when u Old Bullion" carried his point,l
and the bill was recommitted—and a tirade of
abuse pronounced by "Hangman" Poore., Of,
Miss, again* Judge Micas, of the Supreme
Court, and newspaper Editors and Printers, which
nobody noticed. The bill for reducing-postage.,
was up in the Senate, and discussed on Friday,
when Mr. °kazoos moved to •mend by. provid-1
ing that newepapers shall be carried in the mail
free of postage for thirty miles. No question was!
taken, and on Saturday, Senate did not sit !
In the House, there was another" scrimmage"
or two on the mileage question, which was shab-;
bed off in Committee of the Whole by adopting a
provision to pay Members of Congress s2ouo a'
year and ten cents for every mile travelled. That
chicken won't fight t Another question basin be'
taken on it in the House. More than another day
was spent in debating a bill to pay one Pacheco
for a negro slave lost by him during the Florida
War, and it passed finally, having cost the coon
' try $10,0.)0 in the time of Congress, in disputing
about $lOOO. Still it is all wrong. The bill
ought to have been defeated. A very able and

The Washington correspondent of the Haiti

"The Whig members of Congress from this
State help a meeting in the Capitol, on the evening
of the 20th inst., and adopted a resolution asking'
from Gen. Taylor the Treasury Department in
his Cabinet for Pennsylvania, and recommended
Hon. AMUR KM t9rawsar, fur that post."
Should Pennsylvania be honored by the eleva
tion of one of her citizens to this distinguished
post, as she no doubt will be, we know of no one
whose appointment would give us more unfeigned
pleasure than the Hon. Arming, Srzwinv.—
Mr. Stewart is well qualified for this post. He has
given evidence, in a long and useful Congressional
career, of a strong and vigorous mind—a mind
equal to any task which the countty may impose
upon him. The noble and manly stand, more
over, which he has always assumed in the advo•
cacy and defence of the Protective system—his
zeal in which has procured for him the cognomen
of " Tariff Andy "—would render the selection
peculiarly appropriate. We believe this selection
would give general satisfaction to the yeople of
Pennsylvania.

will take place. It would do so under any admin

serious evils; if otherwise it will lead to other and
better reforms. The ago is onward. Thu strug

however, will probably be temporary—as
very large cargoes have gone out :
" A state of distress and suffering pre
vails here, such as the world probably
never before saw. People were au eager
to get gold that they only thought how to

have rushed here, 'bringing no provisions

was none raised , here. All rushed to the
mines. The supply brought from abroad
is nearly exhausted, and hundreds have al

letter from the Han. George Bancroft, our

which had previously been entertained as
to the authenticity of the declaration of in

the first declaration of Ameritan liberty.
Mr. Jefferson always insisted that this
.document was spurious. It was brought
to light by the Raleigh Register in 1819.
"The evidence produced by Mr. Bancroft,
is a letter sent to England by Sir James
