The steamer President had not arrived out, and great excitement prevailed in Liverpool and London in consequence. Nearly all hopes of her safety were given up, and insurance could scarcely he euected on her at any rate. SETTLEMENT WITH CHINA. By the overland mail, which arrived at Mar seilles on the 4th ultimo, and reached London on the 8th, intelligence has been received of the settlement of the dispute with the Chinese authority at Canton. This was not ciTocted until two of the forts at the passage of the Bogue had bren stormed by the British forces, the fleet of war junks destroyed, and the batto teries higher up the river bombarded b)' the fleet. Then the Governor of Canton, seeing that the' time of procrastination was passed, sent to beg for a suspension of hostilities, and commenced the negotiation, which speedily led to a settlement of the dispute, at least so far as he had the power of settling it. The following are the torms agreed upon 1 . The cession of the island and harbor of Hongkong to the British Crown. All just charges and duties to the empire upon the com merce carried on there to be paid, as if the trade were conducted at Whampoa. 2. An indemnity to the British Government of six millions of dollars, one million payable at once, and the remainder in equal annual in stalments, ending in 1846. 3. Direct official intercourse between the countries upon an equal footing. 4. The trade of the port of Canton to be opened within ten days after the Chinese new year, and to be carried on at Whampoa till fur ther arrangements are practicable at the new settlement. The details of the settlement of the China Question are not fully given, but 60 far as they were understood it appears they are not satis factory to the English merchants. The following, which we find in he Boston Post, is almost incredi ble. On Saturday we called to see two little boys, who have been treated with almost incredible cruelty for some months, by the superintendent ot the Farm School, an individual named Locke. Their bodies are cov ered with scars and wounds, inflicted with a raw hide, which lacerated the flesh in a most shocking manner. They are marked and cut from head to foot before and behind on the ribs, and even on the inner side of the thigh. In addition to this in the winter they were compelled to go barefoot on the frozen beach and farm, as a punishment, and in conse quence their feet became frozen. They were also subjected to the tor ture of having several buckets of cold wrater dashed upon them, with their heads tied, so as to keep their faces upward to receive the shock. These atrocious punishments were inflicted for some alledged violation of the discipline of the Institution, but no offence which a lad could commit could justify the cmeuy practised upon the boys in question. Their awful condition was discovered by their friends by sheer accident on Monday. Locke superciliously re fuses to answer any questions put to him on the subject. The parents of the children, George McLennan and his brother, Broad street, oppo site Arch Wharf, paid a dollar a week for their board. Orders have been received from Washington to place New York har bor in a proper posture of defence; to which end the fortification on the various Islands are to be put in a state of forwardness, and the work wiil be immediately commenced, under the superintendence of Capt. Sanders, of the U. S. Engineer Corps. Observance or the Sabbath.

Frcm the Connecticut Courant. Interesting teller. Extract of a letter dated Washington, April 22, 1841. Dkar Sir. Some people are "born to yood luck;" and of this favored order of mortals, none ever appeared so conspicuously the "favorite of fortune" as John Tyler. An old woman in Virginia, at the time of Harrison's visit there last February, said "The General looks well and stout; and I wish him long life; but then no man can live long against John Tyler's good luck" This tvas told hero before Harrison's dangerous illness was known. A recurrence to the fortunate crisis of Tyler's life furnishes authority to this prophecy, now so distressingly fulfilled. He succeeded to all his past high offices by the death of the previous incumbents, as you have probably seen mentioned in a re cent newspaper paragraph. A much more sin gular coincidence which has never been pub lished, he himself mentioned to a friend a few days since, showing a wonderful fatality in the connection of the names of Harrison and Tyler. Both you know were born at "Cairn-point" in Charles-city County, Virginia, where their fa thers were neighbors and associates in public life, Benjamin Harrison being somewhat ol der, than Tyler's father and always just in ad vance of him in political station. Benjamin Harrison began the race, as a member of the House of Delegates from Charles-city County; and when he was transferred from that place to tho State Senate, the elder Tyler succeeded him as Delegate. Harrison, senior, being next elected to tho Continental Congress, Tyler, senior, succeeded him as State Senator. Har rison, senior, being then elected Lieutenant Governor of Virginia, Tyler, senior, succeeded him in congress. Harrison, senior, being then elected Governor of Virginia, Tyler, senior succeeded him as Lieutenant Governor, Har rison and Tyler then holding the two highest offices of that State as their sons lately did the two highest of the Union. To cap the climax of coincidences, by the death of Harrison se nior, in 1791, Tyler, senior, became Govern or of Virginia! Nor does this scries of singu lar consecution stop here. Harrison second and Tyler second appeared in Congress here nearly at the same time, the former bcinir a Representative from Ohio, the latter from Vir ginia. When iyler first became a member. (for half a term, I believe,) he was put on a standing committee of which Harrison was Chairman, and when Harrison ceased to be a member of the House of Representatives, Tyler succeeded him a3 Chairman of the committee. In 1826, Harrison became a U. S. Senator; and not long after, Tyler was elected also to the Senate, and was then put on a committee of which Harrison was Chairman. In 1828, when Harrison resigned his placa in the Son- ate to go to Columbia, Tyler succeeded him as Chairman of that committee also. Their nom ination together at Harrisburg, without previous brethought, as to Tyler, at least, their elec tion and its last great consequence complete the wondrous tale ; and so ends the most re markable series of accidental coincidences ever known. By the appointment of tho Providence of God, without the agency or intention of man, John Tyler is now President of the United States. In this result so sudden and unexpected, those who know Tyler best, and who daily converse with him here, learning his opinions on all the great questions of national policy see nothing unfortunate for the great whig party or alarm ing to them. On the contrary, very great measure which was expected from Harrison, will find in Tyler a warm and devoted suppor ter as well as proposer. Ho has within four days expressed himself decidedly in favor of a national bank. He says, however, that as it will take a long time to get such an institution satisfactorily organized, and in full successful operation, and as the country wants and de mands immediate relief, he wishes to have some intermediate measures taken to meet present exigencies. On the repeal of the sub treasury, which of course will be the first job of the session, he wishes to have the specie pay ing state banks made temporary depositories of the public money, and other measures for the relief of the community, while more permanent schemes are under deliberate examination. He goes for the tax on silks and wines, and for any needed increase of other duties on imports, un der the compromise. He professes to be very ambitious of having the country speedily re lieved, so that the benefits of the great change may be felt by tho people during his adminis tration. He says, that as far as legislation can effect it, "the country may be relieved in nine ty days." This is surely an honorable ambi tion, and a noble spirit worthy of a successor of Harrison, and most satisfactory to the whigs. But of all his recent private declarations of sentiment, there i3 none which I hail with more delight and pride than that of his policy towards the Indians. He denounces and re pudiates in the strongest terms the wholo In dian policy of Jackson and Van Buren. Hu manity and Christian principle are to form the basis of his new scheme, as the best securities of an enlightened self-interest. He has al ready abrogated the iniquitous Cherokee treaty, which has made so much trouble, ami has be gun negociaiions for a new treaty, furnishing that abused tribe with full indemnification and satisfaction for the plundcrings and persecu tions which they have so long endured with magnanimous forbearance and heroic patience, silently waiting the day of their redemption in the triumph of the whigs. It is a fact most un questionable, though little known among you, that the re-election of Van Buren would have been followed by the outburst of a flame of war all along our great western frontier, which would have swept the whites to ihe Mississip pi. This is what tho Arkansas men and the Indians themselves say; and nobody can doubt it who knows the facts. The educated and Christianized high chiefs and intelligent half breeds have all nlon". been soothing down the oppressed Cherokee, Choctaws, Chickasaws and Creeks, by promising them certain relief on the election of Harrison and Tyler. John Ross (whom Poinsett refused to acknowledge) has just been recognized, as the constitutional ''high chief of the Cherokee." He is here now with his delegation, and looks no more like what we call an Indian than I do. The whole swarm of Indian agents and .su perintendents employed by the late administra tions are to be swept out "with the besom of destruction." Their places will be filled with responsible men, acceptable both to the Indi ans and the border settlers. New England, that has ever had so loud a voice for the op pressed Cherokees, will rejoice at the change which effaces the disgrace of that deceitful, rapacious policy towards the Aborigines, pur sued by government for the last twelve yars.

The principle of purifying the body by purg ing with vegetable physic is becoming more and more understood as the only se7isiblc method by which sound health can be established. Hun dreds of individuals have become convinced of this doctrine, and are daily acknowledging the practice to be the best ever discovered. Now is the unhealthy season when our bodies are liable to be affected with disease; and now is the time the state of the stomach and bowels should be attended to, because on the healthy state of those organs depends the healthy state of the general system; and every one will see at once, if the general health be bad while that re mains, local disease cannot bo cured. All the medicine that is requisite to restore the body to a slate of health is Brandrcth's Veg etable Universal Pills, which havo porformed cures upon thousands of helpless and hopeless persons, after the usual scientific skill of phy sicians havo consoled them with the assurance that they could do no more. Tho properties of thoso Pills as anti-bilious and aperient modiciuo are unrivalled; all who use them recommend them, their virtues surpass all eulogy, and must bo used to be appreciated. The weak and del icate will be strengthened by thoir use, not by bracing but by removing the cause of weakness, the gross and corrupt humors of the hndv.j They require no change iu diet or care of anvt kind.

To Dr. Harrison, Dear Sir, I write to con gratulate you on the extraordinary virtus of yonr ' "Specific Ointment,' in the curing of burns. A little boy of mine, 4 years old, fell against the fire-place three weeks since, when his clothes bc becaue ignited, and he was instantly enveloped in flames. After some difficulty the fire was ex tinguished, but not before the poor little fellow s lower extremities were almost covered with a con tinual blister. Having much faith in your oint ment, I immediately purchased three boxes, which I applied unsparingly, according to your direc tions in such cases ; and it is -with great pleasure and gratitude, that I am able to inform you that it allayed the pain in a few hours ; and in ten days had effected a complete cure. 1 need scarcely add, that it ought to be in the possession of eve ry family, as there is no telling when such acci dents may occur. Yours respectfully, H. M. SHEPHARD. A supply of this valuable Ointment just received and for sale, by SAMUEL STOKES. Stroudsburg, Nov. 6, 1840. THE CONSTITUTION. What is that we call the Constitution 1 The constitution is evidently that which constitutes, and that which constitutes is the blood. We, there fore, know that the blood is the constitution, and that a good or bad constitution is neither more nor les3 than a good or bad state of the blood. There is no person who, having lost health, does not wish to havo it restored. Use then the proper means. Ex pel with Purgative Medicine all currupt humors from the body, and the blessing, Health, will be the certain result: for all pains or unpleasant feel ings proceed from tho presence of corrupt or vi tiated humors, which are the real cause of every disoasc, and therefore the only disease to which the human frame is subject, because they clog up the veins and arteries, and prevent the free circulation of the blood. BrandretlCs Vegetable Universal Pills cure this disease: because they remove the corrupt or vi tiated humors by the stomach and bowels, leaving the good humors to give life and health to the bo dy. It is morally impossible that they can fail to euro, provided Nature is not entirely exhausted. Dr. Urandrcth's Office for the salo of his pills in Philadelphia, is No. 8, North Eighth street.
