C. Hepburn, son of Samuel Hepburn, Esq., of Milton, now a missionary in India, will enable us to form some idea of the atate of society among the Chinese : Jan 2, 145.! went through that part ofthe city in which the bepgars live. It ia situated in a short valley between two of the hills which run down to the city Both of these hills are cover ed with praves. Most, if not all the bepj-nrs which live in Amoy, live in this part ofthe city. The houses are little better, most of them than mud hovel. fn the midst of them there is a small, dirty looking temple, dedicated to Ongia kong, a god who is supposed to protect from pes tilence. At the door of the temple was a man sitting in dirty ragged clothes, reading and ex plaining a book to three old men, vho seemed o be much interested. It was evening, and many ofthe beggars were returning from their daily round ; miserable looking objects they were, literally clothed in rags, and brown with dirt, and many of ihem maimed. All had their bags hanging by the side, in which they put what they collected ; some had a few sticks of wood in their hnnd to cook their supper with ! others piece of pork or a fish. The place where they live is called a camp. They have a kind of a ruler over them, called the Head of the beggars. This man buys hi office from one ofthe mandarins of Amoy it is said, fur alwint ftlfKI. His situation is one of profit. F.aoh beggar, it is raid, gives him a part of his daily receipts. Many of the large hongs give him a are cisily known by a sign or card which is harbor, they are also glad to purchase exc.-np- tion from the beggars, by a present of rice or mo- ney to their Head. In this, besides other ways, this man makes a good deal of money. A part of his income is distributed, by night amongst those under him, but he keeps the best portion for himself. He ha also the power of inflicting punishment by flogging, it, in his judgment, any of them should require it. Should a beggardie in consequence, the Ik-ad ia not answerable for it to the mandarins, lie holds his office l..r life, Tin y seldom, indeed never, were themselves beggars. If a beggar steals or acts improperly, a complaint is made to the I lead, and the man ia punished. It is in some resjiects a gaj reg- illation, but it is said, niiirh abused, and oppres ' sive to the poor beings under him. Capital riliiLliltir lit. Thk Cask or McCi'Kkv. lr.

Canadian Family. A TrnRint.s C'iiask The Ladies' National Magazine for luly, edited by Mrs. Ann S. Ste phens, contains the following thrilling account of a family, a mother and her children, being chased by wolves: A few yeara ago, toward the close of win ter'eday, a mother and her children wero tra velling in Canada behind a one horse sledge. Suddenly, from a forest, by which they were passing, issued a gang of wolves. It was a ter rible moment when the mother first beheld these ravinuus animals in full pursuit behind her; but she knew the only hope was in thu superior swiftness of her horse, and so alio re tained sufficient presence of mind to urge him litrward at the top of his speed. The nublo an imal seemed aware of his danger ; he snorted fiercely on hearing the howl ofthe wolves and dashed ahead at a frightful pace. On came the hungry animals, and fast fled the affrighted horse. Miles were soon passed over, but miles of trackless waste yet remained before the tra vellers would reach the village. Mean time the wolves gained on the fugitives. The mo ther clasped her bal.!S closer to l.er bosom ; as the howling animals came tip, and running al most at the side of Ihe sledge, threatened every moment to drag her and her little ones down. But the terrified horse now seemed to gain su pernatural speed, and on he dashed with inrrea sod velocity, snorting with affright. For awhile tin? wolves wero left in the rear ; but hie. speed soon slackened, and again they gained on the sledge. The horrible idea now occurred to the mother of the throwing over one of her children and staying for awhile the pursuit, for she had heard of ouch an alternative having once been resorted to. But she shrank from the tempta tion with a shudder. She urged on the horse again, and once mure he sprang ahead and in creased tin distance between her and the wolves. Thus, for another hour, slnj continued they prey of alternate despair and hope. Now shesecmed in the very jaws of death now an almost preternatural exertion of speed on the part ofthe horse gave her a momentary respite. At length the village was in sight. But, horri ble lo relate, at this moment she heard a crack as if the fledge hail given away. The runner had broke ; she surrendered herself to despair. Through the fast gathering night she caught a view of the liirm bouse on the outskirts of the village. To die thus in sight of safety was ter rtlile. Mie looked agonizingly on the faces ot her children, w ho were now sobbing piteously ; she si rained litem lo her bosom ; she shut her eyes on the rcene that was to follow. But, strange to say. the sledge still held together, and the horse, recognizing his home, dashed for ward at a pace that left the wolves far behind She h siked up once more ; they w ere now close to the villnso. The iuhabitonta, by this time, had become alarmed ; but. the wolves kept up their pursuit to tho very gate of the farm house, and yielded their expected prey slowly and sul lenly. The sledge on examination, was found to bo so tune h injured that il would inevitably have broken down before another mile. An es cape like this surpasses any thing in fiction. A Black Snake ('aiti hkii The Reading. Pa., Demoeralic Pros of yesterday tells the fol lowing snake story: A black snake, upwards of seven feet in length, was captured one Any last week on the White Spot alaive U rrt,ljnrr. It was discovered by sotne men lile binding up cord wood, and in his attempt to escape it glided into a hollow piecu n wmvl which was immediately closed up anj the snake secured.

Ann Riionra- vs. Nathan Mtllf.r This was an action brought by the plaintiff a gainst the defendant for a breach of promise of marriage. K. Van Buren and E. Quinn, for plaintiff: D. Rumsey, jr., and W. Barcns, for defendant. As is usual in such causes, there was considerable anxiety manifested by the spectators to catch a glimpjof the parties, par ticularly tho aggrieved. They undoubtedly expected to see some blooming maiden, sighing like a furnace for the loss of her faithless lover, appealing to the strong arm ofthe law to pro tect her injured innocence, and render her some little compensation in dollars and cents for ihe irreparable injury ; and last, though not least, teach all graceless scamps to bo careful in liiture how they make promises but to break them. B'jt no, the plaintiff, though a maiden lady. was not young, nor was she strikingly beaut i till, although she might have been at the age of Vveet rixteen," in the eyes of a very passion. ate lover, but now, alas ! the mischievous fing ers ol Tunc had stolen many a charm, leaving unmistakable and indelible evidence upon her features, that she was several years, at Ipast, the blind side of thirty i. e thirty and upwards Her appearance was respectable her manner precise and dignified, her countenance indicat ing a fixedness of purpose, not to commit sui cide or die ofa broken heart but to make her recreant lover pay roundly for trifling with her affections. The defendant was a widower, we should judge, about forty-five, a plain sort ofa farmer, with nine children, worth some Js.5,000 which counsel alleged was an important considera tion with the plaintiff in bringing her suit, as well as listening to his on the start. It appeared in testimony that the defendant soon after loosing his first, wife, began to think about getting another, talked to the old women ofthe neighborhood about being lonesome wanted a housekeeper couldn't ntand it so, Ac, which, as a mailer of course, enlisted their sympathies. IIu finally stated his Case to a Mr. Bolt told him he w islied to get married did no', like to marry a wuman with a family, In cause he did not want two kinds of children, and for a reason not altogether dissimilar, he. was unwilling lo wed a ina.ueu l.oly, ui.kva ot a certain, or rather of an uncertain age. Upon thin statement, said Boll intimated that Miss Mary Ann BIhhIch, or I 'oily, a he called her, would lie just a fit, and consented to be come a proxy, or a sort of conductor of mutual love and affection between the two ; 6a w Mis Rhodes, made known his business to her, she exclaiming, with some, surprise and regret, "w by couldn't I have known this beture," for alack ami alas, she was engaged to be married to another man in a la nit a week. No time was to bo lost, a personal interview of lovers was thought advisable was bid : when ami where it was agreed by and between the said lovers that the said Misr Vtl. odes should most unfeelingly and ungraciously sack her former beau, after whieli she and the dvl'endant were to become one flesh. This was accordingly d me we ;nean Ihe fellow was sacked and he, like i true philosopher, to show that there was nc Jove lost, also that he was punctual in all his '.iitsiiii-ss transactions, wooed, won, and wt'd an other damsel in about a week thereafter, so that ho was nvirrivd at the time first uppointed, though net to Mis Rhodes.

The d.'fciiil'iiit alleged, by Way of defence, that the plaintiff came into the court w ith a bad grace lo recover damages ot him tor practising upon her what she hid played oil up m another and attempted to show in mi'igutioil ol'du.ag es, it not in bar ofthe act .on, the plaintiff's gen eral had diameter in tlo neighborhood in which she lived, that an improper intimacy had j existed between her and Ihe witness Boll for year ! but the proof of theso ullegaliou wat not very conclusive, it eeius, to tho minds ..I the jury, it being a little more than a repetition of iieighboihtaal gossip, and Various surmises and insinuation of garuloti nM women, after having regaled themselves w ith Young Hyson. One witness, however, waa brought upon the bland, who swore to enough, but fie jury, it seems, would not believe h ie.

The proofs being closed, the cause was ably summed upon the part cf the defendant, by W. Barnes, Esq ; eloquently by E. Van Buren, on the partof the aggrieved. His Honor, tho Judge, committed the causa to the jury in a cl argu which showed him not insensible to tha wrongs of lovely women, and tho jury, after due deliberation, returned with a verdict for the plaintiff of four hundred dollars, to enmpen sate her for lacerated feelings, bl:ghted hopep, and crushed affections the loss of a husband worth five thousand dollars, and nine children.
