TllU WAR WITH i A. Bt TrtOSlS ROOD, 'Mistress of horelf, though China fall." Pope. I can't understand it !" sajd my uncle, throwing down on tho tnblo the pamphlet be had been read Ing, and looking up over tha flre-ptaco at the great picture of Canton, painted by hi elder brother when he Was mam of an East Indiaman. My aunt was seated beside my undo, with her cotton-box, I laying at working and cousin Tom was working at playing, in cornor. Aa for my father and my self, we had dropped in m usual after walk, to lake cur tea, which, through an old connection wiih Cathy, wai certain to bo first rate at tho collage. Why on earth," continued my uncle, "why on rnrth we should go to war about the Opium busi ness quite passes my comprehension." And mine Joo," chimed in my aunt, whose bent was to put in a word and put out an argument, aa often its she had an opportunity ; "I alwaya thought Opium wa a lulling, euothing eort of thing, mora likely to compoeo pceple'e passions than to stir them op," My undo looked at the speaker with much the same expression aa that of the gr at girl in Wilkie's picture, who is at once frowning and smiling at tho boy's grotesque mockery of the Uliud Fiddler fur my aunt's allusion to the sedative qualities of Opi um was amusing in itself, but provoking, as inter rupting the discourse. The Sulphur question," she continued, "is quite a different thing. That's all about brimstone and combustibles ; and it would only be of a piece If we were to send our men of war, and frigates, and fire-ships, to bombard Mount Vesuvius- "I should like to see it 1" said my father, in his quietest tone, and with his gravest fare, for he wss laughing inwardly at the proposed Grand Display of Pyrotechnics 1 "To go back," resumed my uncle, 'lo the very beginning of tho business first, we have Captain Elliot, who wishes to give the Chinese admiral a rhnn" a.i - ::i ,m. r i.i ...... m v..ii uuug v. u.iu siu uij sunt. "Eh ! what 1" exploded my uncle, os snappishly as a Wateiloo cracker. "To be sure," said my aunt, la a deprecating tone, "it might bo a Friday and a fM day, as to meat" As to what!" "As to meat," repeated my aunt, resolutely. ! have olwaya understood that the Catholic priests and the Jesuite were the first to go converting the Chinese." "Phoo! nonsense!" ejaculated my uncle. A chop is a document." "Well, it's not my fault," retorted my annt, "If things abroad are called by their wrong names. What is a chop, then, in Chinese I moan a poik or a mutton one is it called a document t" My uncle gave a look upward, worthy of Job himself. He was aorely tempted, but he translated the rising English oath intj a French shrug and grimace. My futher tried to mend matters as usu al. "After all, brother," he said, "my sister's mis take was natural, and womanly -eajiccially in mistress of a boose, who has to think occasionally of chops and steaks. Besides she has had greater blunderers to keep her in countenance you re member the needless resentment there was about the 'Barbarian Eye.' " "To be sure he docs," said my aunt, "and why should I be expected to know Chinese any more than Lord Melbourne, or Lord Pslmen-ton, or Lord Kuowe-Whol especially When it's suie a difficult language beside, and a single letter standi fir i whole chapter, like the Egyptian hieroglyphics." "But what says the pamphleteer 1" siid my fa Iher, deliberately pulling on his spectacles, and to. king up the brochure from iho table. "Why he says," replied my undo, that opium is a baneful drug, that it produces the most dcuio- morulizing effect on the consumers ; and that wo have no right to go to war to force a not iou article down the throats of our fellow creatures." "No, nor a wholesome one neither," returned my father, "as the judge said to the woman when she killed her child for not luking its physic. But whnt have we here a return of our exports to the Ce lestial Empire 1" "The author meat. to imply," said my undo, that if the Chinese did no! ahew and smoke so much opium, they would have more money to lay out on our Birmingham and Manchester manufactures, "Pretty nonsense, indeed 1" exclaimed my aunt. "As if the Chinese could smoke printed cottons and calicoes, and chew Brumtmgen hardware, and cut- lory, like the ostriches !" -For aught we know," said my und , "it may le allegory and I have often fancied that the point inga on their vessels were scenes from the r tales or poem. In tha mean time we may gather some hint of tho character of the people from their por celain that they are literary and musical, and frprn tha frequent occurrences of figure of children, hat Ihey are of affectionate and domestic habits. And, above all, that they are eminently unwaibke, and incline! only to peaceful and pastoral i ursuil I do not recoiled ever seeing an armed figuie, wea pons, or any allusion to war, and its attributes, In any of their enamels." So ainch the worse for them," said my father ; for they are threatened with something worse th-n tempest In a teapot. It will be like the China Teasel in the old fable, coming in c mlact wiih the brazon one. There will be a flue awash, brother, of your favorite ware 1" "A stnnah ! where 1" inquired my sunt, who bad jusl entered the room, and imperfectly overh-ard the lost senienco. "What are you ut'king ofl" "Of a Dull in a China Shap." said rny father, with a hard wink t my uncle. "YeiAatia a dreadful smash, ure eunugh." said my aunt "There was a Mrs. Surkey, who keep the great Sluffujd.hii warehouse at Siuiltv field Bars the had su overdriven beast run into her shop riily last wek- Al first, the a)s, he was quiet enough, for besides racing up and down St John street, ha had been bullock-hunbd all over Islington, and Hox'on fields, and that had taken the wildrios out of him. So at fiist he only stood staring at the jugs, and meg, and things, as if ad miring the patterns." "And pray, Inquired my uncle, "where was Mrs. Starkey in the moan timet" 'Why, tho shopman, you soe, had crept Undor the counter for safety, and Mrs. Staikcy was in the back parlor, And saw evi ry thing by peeping through a crack ;f the green curtain, over ihe glass door. So the mad Dull slood staring at the crockery, quiet enough t when unluckily with a switch of his tail, ho lirought down on his back a whole row of pip kioe that hung over head. I suppose he remem berij being pelted about tho streets ; for the clatter of the earthenware bIkju! his ears, seemed to put turn up again j fr he gave a stump and a bdlow lint made the whole shop shake again, end down nttled a great jug on his hind quarters. Well, round lurns the Hull, quite savage with another loud lctlow, as much as to say, 'I should like to know who did thai V when what should he see by bad luck, but a China figure of a Mandarin, aa big as our Tom there, a-griuning and nodding at him with Its head." "Commissioner Lin," said my father, with a sig. nificant nod to my undo. "Mrs. Starkey thinks," continued my aunt, "that the mad Bull took the China figure for a human creature, and particularly as (is motions made it look so life-like, however, ihe mora the bull stam ped and bellowed, the more iho Mandarin, grin ned and nodded his head, till at long and at last, the Dull got so aggravated, that slicking his tail up right, Mrs. Staikey says, as stiff as the kitchen po ker, he made but one ru h at the China Mandaiin, and smsshed him all into shivers-" And there you have the whole hUtorv,"s,id my father, with another nod to my uncle, "uf a War with China."

The Philadelphia Casket. UNPARALLELED SUCCESS! ' ROSPECTU8 or a w Vouthx. The great increase In the su'werintion lint of the Casket sinca the first of the year, warrants the most extensive Improvements on the first of July next at which time a new volume will be com menced wiih increased vigor. Nothing need be said of the firm basis on which the CaAet stands, it being already the oldest mngaxine in Ihe country. TYPE EMBELLISHMENTS. The Ca-ket is printed with a ch or and silvery type, upon the finest white paper. Tho il!iitn,ti,n are not surpaed by those of any p-riodicid at home or abroad and hesidn the monthly steel en gravings, a qnnr'erty p ate of colored fashions has lately lcen added. The style f these erhhillish. ments is unrquallsd, and th-y are always accom panied with an appropriate sketch. No wood cuts disgrace Ihe work. Whatever appears In the casket is of tbo first order of the art. LITERARY CHARACTERS. The literary eha'i .cler of the ('a Vet ia well known. It is wholly oriein d. f hft h'shral mdrr. and sustained i.y WRITERS OF THE FIRST RANK.V Essay j. Tales, Sketched, and Travels, compose iU prominent pro-e articles j while the poetry is rquall-d by that of no other magazine of like character. The variety for which Ihe Ca ket is celebrated, ahull suffar no diminution ; but on tho contrary, every exertion shall be made to in crease its interest. SEVERAL ROMANCES of the REVOLU TION hav already appealed, and others shall follow in the course of th volume, presenting when finish-' ed, a complete picture of Ilia manner, and a his torical account of the great Utiles at that time. Thus, the Casket, instead of being filled with sickly sentimentalities, aims at a true delineation of human nature in every variety of paein. TIME OF PUBLICATION. The Casket is published on the first of the month in every quarter of Ihe Union- The moat distant sulwiibers consequently receive il i n thai day, as well as those who reside in Philadelphia. In all the principal cities agents have been estab lirhed, by which means subsrihers can obtain their copies fieo of postage. FASHIONS. The fishions nre pub ished in ihe Casket quir ti rly, or as of on as any really nw stylos arrive from Paris.

Wnmr we fust purchased the old and well known establishment of t'.e Nfiturilay Evening Pont, we sta'cd tbnt Iho paier circulated so widely a mnng ihe rteady, rending portion of ihe United States, that we eutrrod upon our bdiors with full cotifiib nct of the future. Our success has sineo been beyond our most rnnguinc expectation, as our weekly receipts overbalance those of any cotempo- ary i sper. ( lur litt has continued lo swell up, with unexampled rapidity, and we hove the confi dence, that at the present rale of increase, we shall he enabled in a few months to boast of more than 35,000 subscribers I When we commenced our labors, we announced distinctly, that the tone of ihe patter should be decidedly moral, and that nothing should be admitted into our columns, which the most fastidious father could disapprove of, and de termined that as an approved Fsmily Paper, it should not contain a paragraph, with the spirit of winch a piicnl would not wish I t have a daughter fi.tnili ir, and we therefore, with this view, announ ced that no theatrical notices should appear in our Columns, and that we should lie opiiosed to thejtrrs as thing calculated to injure the healthy action of an hones' mind, as crentive of exhibitions demo ralizing in tendency, and fearfully pernicious in fact. Thero were not wanting blusterers, who made a great parade of opposition, and Croakers, who predicted our speedy downfa l, but we threw ourselves upon Ihe sober, rational and experienced portion of the people of the United St ito for sup port, and we Dave been nol.ly ausained. We thought and expressed lbs opinion, that however cureless many might tie upon this subject, that few, even if tl ey did not entirely disapprove of such entertainments, cared a out having tbo gross details forever paroded tieforo the eyes of their children, and Ihe sickening and nausesting eulogy of all kind of characters made familiar to their minds. We determined also, that while the paper con tinued under our contr. l, it should be strictly neu tral in politic, and -that as news and hierury jour nnlisls ne bad noth'ng to do with the tnttter ; this dctirmi ation has been strictly and rigblly adhered to, and while ue shall continue to give our re id rs such public document as may he deemed of inte rest to all, and such a history of the progress of political events, as are strictly in keeping with our duty, and the character of the paper, wo shall stu diously and thoroughly avoid any contamination of paritx-.n politics. The paper I now printed in a new and tieautt ful type, has received the praise of many editors of ti.ste, as Mhe handsomest family sheet in th'- Union. Our efforts have been directed to the combining of beauty and simphcty with utility aid I arte. 1 he Post is printed on a stout while paper, rcn tiering it neat and dor.ble for filing. In addition to these efforts toward perfection in the mechanical department, and exterior ol our pa' per, no labor, and no cost hcen spared in the do- velopcmeni ol intellectual stringth. 1 he prccnt variety of interes ing talcs, original, front foreign and domestic magazines, together with the vulua ble contributions of our own circle of literary friends will continue to give interest lo iho paper. while everything important and worthy ot note -.hut happens in tho Old World or the New, ahall tie collected and collated lor tne lasie ol out rea ders.
