PHYSICIANS IN CHINA. In China there is free trade in physic—a good principle enough, but which has not yet led to all the desirable reforms in that art. A dose of Chinese medicine is quite a curiosity. It is about the size of .a half pound of moist sugar, and consists of twenty separate packets—four or five kindi of bark, a little orange peel, some walnuts, some gentian, and half a dozen other sorts, not unlike ,a small cake 'of blacking. TheSe are all boiled together, and a good half pint of the decoction is to be taken quite hot as a dose. The lowest fee for a visit is about two pence, and the coolies Of the sedan have also to be paid. The fee advances by two pence at a time, so that 4d., 6d., Bd., 10d., etc., are the rates, according to, celebrity:;. very seldom, however, is a single visit charged more than a sixpence.

He died the next • morning. The Indiana were pursued into the mountains, but returned next day to 'the number of three thousand, and renewed, the attack, which was continued about five hours, when the Indians were routed 'and pursued, several being killed and one made prisoner.

His provisions now began to grow short, and he was obliged to return to Honey' Lake After recruiting a few days, his party will commence operations on the wagon road, which they expect to complete 'in sixty days.

The best manufacturers of Boston, New-York Baltimore, &c., after ,bitterly opposing and crying down these improvenients; have, bytheir recent adop tion' of the same, acknowledged the Messrs. Steinway as their leaders and superiors in the art of making Piano Fortes. The "Felt Covered Hammers," the " Extend ed Scale,". (from A to. C seven and third octave ;) and the "the three strings" to • each note, have only very recently been held up to the public_ of this •eity .as "new improvements," while' the Steinway Pianos have boasted of the same 'for several years ; and now the "Overstrings" are about being brought out, also, as something: new, when pe, possessors .of Steinway's pianos itt. this city and elsewhere, itave,had the benefit of this improvement for many years. • It: will thus be seen that the Messrs. Steinway are ever the first in the perfecting of the Piano Forte, and that their improvements are looked upon by others as models to take patterns from.

The Binperor Napoleon itithe MlDlforward in proposals to send troops to•syria. He claims to be the hereditary protector of, the Christians there. He wishes, however, to'so conduct mat- tars as to ilaintain his declaration, that "the Empire is peace." The - following very curious letter is published over his signature.: . Napoleon's letter to the French Ambassador to London, dated. July 25th, is , published. He Says : Since the peace of Villa Franca, I have had but one thought, one object, to inaugurate a new era of peace and to live on the best terms with my neighbors, and especially with England. I have annexed Savoy and Nice? The extraordi nary additions to Piedmont alone caused' me to assume to, desire to see reunited to Frence prov inces essentially French. But it will be objected to ; you wish for p , eace, and you increase immod erately the:military forces Of - France. deny the facts in every sense that my army and fleet had in them anything of a threatening character. My steam navy is even far from being equal to our requirements, and, the number of steamers does not nearly equal that of sailing:ships thought necessary in the time of Louis Phillip. I have four hundred thousand men under arms; but de duct from this amount sixty thousand in Algeria, six thousand at itome, eight thousand in China, twenty thousand grenadiers, the sick and new conscripts, and you will see my regiments are of smaller effective strength than during the pre ceding reign. The only addition to the army list has been .by the creation of the Imperial Guard. Moreover, whilst wishing peace, I desire also to organize the forces of the country on the best possible terms; for if foreignera have only seen the bright,side of the last war, I, close at hand, have witnessed the defects and wished to remedy them. Having said thus much, I have since Vil la Franca, neither' done or even thought any- thing4hich - could Mimi . any orie. Wien ,Lav lette started for Constantinople, the instructions which I gave to him were con4ed to this use ; every effort-to maintain the statu quo • the inter- est of France, is that Turkey shouldlive as long as possible. Napoleon then touched on Syrian, affairs, say ing that his first thought in the matter was to come to an understanding with England, and asks what other interest than that of humanity could induce him to send troops to that country: He also says that the: interior organization of France,-and to increase her resources, are fields vast enough for his ambition, and sufficient to satiety, it was difficult for me to come to an understanding with England on the subject of Central Italy; because I was bound by the pence of Villa Franca.:,`As to Southern Italy I am free from engagements, and ask no better than con sert with - England on this point as on others. In heaven's' name let the eminent men 'at the head-of the, English Government' lay aside their petty jealousies and unjust mistrusts. Let-us understand eacli,other in good faith, like_ honest men as we are, and not like thieves Who desire to cheat each Other. To' live up to , this' is my innermost thought. I desire that Italy should obtain peace, no:matter how, but without foreign intervention, and that my troops should be able to quit Rome without eompromiOng the security of the Pope. I could much wish not to be obliged to undertake the Syrian. expedition, and in any case not to undertake it alone. Firstly, because it will:be a great expense ; secondly, because I fear this intervention may involve the Eastern question ; but on the other band I do not see bow to resist the public opinion in my country, which Will never understand how we can leave unpun iched, not only the massacre of Christians, but, the burning of our coneultitis, 'the insult to our flag, and pillaged monasteries which were under our .protection.

One week after, her youngest born was laid , in the same grave with his mother, and wall thus quickly, restored to'fimother's 'society and love. THIS WEEK'S ADVERTISEMENTS.
