Much, it is true, has occasional ly been written upon China ; but from the period when the Catholic missionaries had access to its interior, more than a century and a half ago, to the present time, very little has beep known of it. Since the 'o pening of the ports, several travelers have succeeded in penetrating the interior, and their accounts of the state of society, the progress of the arts and manufactures, the internal trade, mail the extraordinary num bers of inhabitants, have surpassed all that had been before related of this secluded people. Large as our trade is with China, it is insignificant, when we consider that she includes in her population full one third of the entire globe, and that our in tercourse is with but a few isolated sea- ports. The New York Journal of Commerce contains an interesting letter from China. upon the pry tent condition and resources of that mini:mi. by which we learn mat the British Alinister, Sir Join Bowritl, has been collecting some interesting sta tistics at the request of his countrymen.— Among other subjects of inquiry, Sir John has endeavored to collect the vital statimties of this vast empire, a-topic of the deepest interest to the world, and particu larly to some of the over populated coun tries in Europa, whose rulers are puzzled to know-how they are , to be ettstained Been in some agricultural districts, the people often suffer for the necessaries to sustain life. The question, therefore, how so vast a population is supported in China, with so trilling a foreign commerce, and consequently so eutirely dependent upon its own resources, is one well 'wor thy the attention of political econo mists The population of the Chinese dominions has been variously estimated during the last half century at from three hundred to three hundred and fifty millions of souls. These estimates were based on returns made by the several provinces to the gov ernment at Pekin. end duly reported in the official State papers; and although these returns have been adopted by all writers upon China, much doubt has ex isted in the minds of many as to their cor rectness. Latterly the population of Chi na has been set down at four hundred Onions, a number arrived at by estitnn fing a small ratio of increase upon reliable "returns, Made:scittdiferLY yearsiainne ‘, a n d sustained by Ltio' ieporta of anioeo themselves. This enormous number Sir John Bowring accepts as the one most likely to be oorreot. The writer before re fer red to, iu speaking of the population, and estimating the value of foreign inter course with this people, snys-: "In a commercial point of view, the Chinese empire presents one of the most inviting fields in the world. This people aro justly celebrated for their skillin farm. ing, anitfor their tact in trading Great numbers gain their living and amass vast wealth and become immensely rich by ex changes of barter. The Chinese arc, a na tion of traders, barterer and salesmen.— The great majority of the population, di. • reedy 3r indirectly, are so engaged. • "Free intercourse with four hundred millions of such people, even iu anotniner eitd line, is a matter of some moment, and may well be so regarded by the United States. There are other considerations that ought to be brought to the account, in mak ing out the value of our relations with the eastern world. There are things political, religious, scientific, &c.; as well as things commercial, which ate not to be disre- ga rcie cl "The people of the United States have blade—have domain or extent of territory enough to satisfy the most ambitious, but the whole wide world is not too broad a theatre fir the exorcise of their growing energies, and their useful and benevolent enterprises—ospeoially when thest are to be exerted, op such great masses of men, such vast nurabeni of immortal minds as are hero congregated in our populens em empire." The commercial interest in. the United States was never so well prepared as at the present time to extend its trade with Chi : nit. If a knowledge of the resources of China aro requisite to an increased emu merge, of which there can be no doubt, we were never in so good a condition as at present to obtain this knowledge through our Minister of Legation there. Both Dr, i Parker. our Minister, and Mr. Williams. his Secretary, have long resided in China, and are doubtless better acquainted with the Chinese language and literature than any foreigners living. The former, too. from his gratuitous professsional services to' the Chinese,,enjoyo a wider popularity than a forsigoer eanr.before attained with that people, and is perhaps the only foreign resident who is personally known to the imperial family.

The story wag told to hip by the Rev. George Eurder : Mr. Jones, had a' college classmate, who entered,the ministry at the same time with himself, butwas a mere man of the . world, and knew little and cared nothlitg of' the true Gospel. This man, conversing one day with Mr. Jonessaid td him, half jo cosely, half seriously : "Why is it that you are so popular as a preacher, and so few come to hcar me, when everybody knows that at the Uni versity I was tionsidered greatly your su perior ?" -"Why," said Mr Jones, "the roman is that I preach the Gospel." "The Gospal ?' said the other; "so do ; almost every text I preach upon is selected from Matthew, Mark, Luke or John." Said Mr. Jones, 'you may do that, and .yet never preach Jesus Christ." "Well,. said the other, "lend me one of your sermons, and see what effect it will have." Ho actually did lend him one, and he preached it, as ho had engaged to do, and as he was coining out of the church et the close of the service, ho was accosted by a young man, who in listening le the bor rowed discourse, had been thrown into a state of anxiety in respect to his salva tion. Sips the Milliliter: - somewhat - poninged by the strange result of his preaching— " Wait, wait, say nothing about it until the people have gone out.'! After the congregation had retired, the anxious inquirer began further to explain himself, when the clergyman interrupted him by saying : "Bul what is the matter with you? I see tie occasion fur making yourself so un happy." )i "Matter," rpliod he ; "why your preach. ing has wade sue fey) like a conikumeil criminal, and I four there is no mercy for ma." “Well, really,” said the tninister I am very sorry that I have wounued your feel ings—l had no intention of doing it; but, since you have got into this, uncomfortable state, [ advise you to go and see Mr. Jones." illahomedun Illone Illabouledan honesty is what t eitrikes the Christian iu the East more forcibly than any °their trait .4i:thane:Ur- Ttiere to be no diatr-Asc -et. dea f "; mud nu Temple; tion so great, as to induce a follower of the Prophet to take what does not belong to him, or in any pecuniary way to wrong friend or foe.

Centuries have passed since he has gone, but his standard of honesty has not been lowered among his followers —and no Christian community in Europe or America, can,in this, begin to compare with them. Theft, is a crime unknown to them ; and but one single instanae of rob bery has happened in Turkey (or twenty years. A recent writer speaking upon this point says : "W bile traveling, it is not uncommon to see n Janissary enter the Cafino, heave several bags of gold in a corner, and . go out to sleep with his horse I A merchant returning from Smyrna, traveling early in the morning, sa w a .Itorso tied to an olive tree, and several hags lying on the ground.
