FOE SAFETY, Travellers should select Boats provided with Evan's Safety Guards for preventing Explosion of Steam Boilers. TT would be well for the traveling community to 1 bear in mind that their security depends entirely upon their own encouragement of boats that have or ratty he at the expense of procuring the above appara tux. And that every individual making such selec tions is contributing towards a general introduction of an invention admitted by all men who understand the principles of the Steam Engine, to be a sure preventa tive against those dreadful disasters. You have cer wilily, in the hundreds of explosions. that have already *alien place, -their eilmosv daily , occurrence, and the thousands of lives that have alteady been lost, a suffi cient warning, tied inducement to make inquiry for a Safety guard Boat, a-el is every case to give it the preference. They ha% e went to an additional expense that your live.; may be secu re. Ought you not therefore to meet them with a cormiponding degree of liberality, and by your preference show that you appreciate their laudable endeavors to stop this awful sacrifice of hu man life. They do not charge more than other boats; their accorumorlations in other respects are equal, and its many cases superior; and as there is one leaving Pits:burgh every day, why will you run any risk, when it completely in your own power to avoid those dis asters.

The greatest annual festival on which the lerven** appears in his sacredotal character, is that of !be Odes bration of the season of spring, which takes plaraseiscos the middle of February, and is one of those - and= do servations that help to preserve the priatitiveaberaiter of this nation. It is then that the Emperor the part of the husbandman, by ploughing scs=s : an enclosure set apart for that purpose near the The day for the royal ploughing is fired for the Beessiet Rites, and this ceremony wee accompanied by teeny so. lemnitius on the part of the Emperor, and wh o were to assist at the sacririces—su c h a.s fasting fur throw days until the evening of each, and abstaining item kinds of amusement during that period. Early on the morning of the festival, the _Emperor, attended by the great oltcers of S tate, repairs to the tete ple of the Earth, where he makes sacrifices and implores a blessing on the labors of the spring, that they may produce a plentiful harvest; and when those rites aro ended, he descends from the t•nnple into the field, where all the requisite preparations have been made by forty or fifty husbandmen who are in attendance. The Em. nerur phmulis a fee fUrrC;VS w-itil his own hands, and sows five sects el a - rain; al:le:which, twelve grandees ci t::e first r niungli and sow in turn, and then the work is completed by tire professional husbandmen, each et whom receives a present of a pince of Nanking cloth..—• Thc produce Gf this field is held sacred, and carefully preserved in a granary by itself, to be used for the 11291 t solemn sacrifices. The plowdring, by the imperial husbandmen takes place only in the capital; but in every large city a cere mony is performed, called "meeting in the spring," when the Governor assumes the character of high priest, and goes out in a state, carried in a finely ornamented sedan-chair preced ,, d hi banners, lighted tordles and music. He is followed by several mandarins in their salsas, and by a number of fitters, in which are placed children who are fancifully dressed and crowned with flowers, representing various dchies connected with the labors of the field.

The rest of the day is devoted to amuse ments. It is thus, that rulers of China, both by pre cept and example, stimulate their subjects to the pier. suit of agriculturv, so essential to the support of the em pire.

The whole of the M.2xican forces have left Yucatan-- the last having gone off unexpectcdlv in the night. The Civilian says they were unable to obtain any additional news of importance by the arrival.
