gaged in the importing trade. This bill is to mod¬ify and amend the warehouse lystem. It providescertain regulations for the transit of goods enteredat an Atlantic port, to the port where the dutiesare payable and the merchandize is to be delivered,which may operate either as checks or facilities tothe importing trade of the interior districts. Oneof these provisions is, that it the conveyances ofmerchandise to the port of delivery, the packagesshall be designedly broken, or shall be deliveredat some other point than that named in the manifest, one hundred per cent, shall be added to theduties, and the vessel conveying the goods shallbe forfeited as in other cases of violations of therevenue laws.

of water lots in San Francisco amounted to the

very remunerative sum of 811,937 50, being one

Picayunes letter to the postmaster of that cityfrom a young lady in one of the Eastern States, inwhich she expresses a most ardent desire to go to

California to try for a fortune, either as school¬teacher, governess, or cook. She says she has beentrying for a long time to save money for the trip to

California at her present avocation, school-teach-ing, but, with her greatest efforts of economy, she

finds she will not be able to save enough for some

yea s to come, and, as she is so very anxious to

get out there soon, she ventures to ask Col. Hen¬

ley for assistance to enable her to do so. She tellsthe Colonel what her qualifications are, and hopesthat he will be able from his position to find someone in need of such services as she can render andwill advance her the money to enable her to make

thi trip. The Picayune says that Col. Henle/hasmade arrangements to have the enterprising younglady transported to California.A billiard saloon costing $30,000 has just been

The Advice* mom Cum*..The editors of tbcNew York Journal of Commerce are indebted to a

mercantile bouse for the following extracts of let¬

ters from correspondents in China:Shanoiiai, China, Nov. 19, 1853.

The green tea dealers from the Moyuuc and Fy-chou districts how profess their intention of carry¬ing the rest ol their merchandize to Canton; butthe difficulties and cost are great, and if tl.ey gothere they will arrive late. Probably only a fewlarge crops will be taken, and we look for the bal¬ance to orae here in the course of the next sixmonths, provided transit does not become impossi¬ble. The settlements for America now reach 170,-000 to 1--0.000 packages, or 8,500.000 to 9,0 0,000lbs., ajr.iinst 16,000.000 at the sime time last year,and we look for scant supplies for the next twomonths.

It is believed that the supply of Congous isnearly exhausted, and we do not look for any fur-tn r heavy settlements at this port. Raw silk isstill coming ill nn contract, bought with foreignfunds in the country. The effect of the dbturb-nnces tvill probably be felt more in the next year'sproduction of all kinds of produce than it has beenin this.

Particular»..The telegraph some days ago report¬ed the burning of the steamer Georgia al NewOrleans, and the loss of a number of lives. TheNew Orleans Bulletin, which puts down the lossof properly, including the boat and her cargo ofcotton at §120,000, says:Women and children were thrown from the up¬

per deck on the wharf, likeso many slicks of wood,while other*, in their fright, leaped into the wa¬

Mr. Jack-onandone child, of Barbour county,Ala., were lost; his wife and eight suiviving chil¬dren are now in the city in destitute circumstances.Mr. Jackson had on his per.«on checks or drallstoaconsiderable amount, which were lost with him.

floor to the main deck, was caught on the pointsof the horns of an infuriated ox, and was tornmost dreadfully. But the ox ihrowed her into wa¬ter, and sue was saved. Of the negroes on boardof the boat twenty al least, were lost.some plan-tars losing all they h'ad, and some losing but a few.Scarcely a single family was saved rntiie. A fath¬er, who had rescued his wife and six children,went back fir the seventh, and was lost. A youngman returned to the bout to look for a female lriend,but the flumes "vuwnetl around him like a hell,"and he w.us numbered with "the unreturniugbrave."A falher saved thiee of his children, but bis wife

and six others left their asiies in the funeral pyreof the Georgio. A voting husband lost his wife,and hesut apart on the wharf as if itidiSeient towhatever else might befall liim. A child threemouths old was laken to the hotel, but it hod no

relative to claim it, and none knew whose child itwas. A young man who lost his father and mother,appeared more concerned about 81000 which bisfather had left in the safe of the boat than aboutthe loss of his parents.W. B. Rheitn, of Newfcern, N. C. with his wife

and five children, were saved, but he lost nine ofhis negroes.

The Lexington Traded*..The custom withsome ponions of the press, of giving the particu¬lars of facts i ndergoing judicial investigation, anddiscussing them, has never struck us a? altogetherjust and proper. It is particularly wrong whencirculation is thus given to careless and exaggera¬ted statements. As however publicity has beengiven to statements reflecting upen Ihe conduct ofChristian in ti e homicide ol Blackburn, we havetaken the trouble of examining the testimony aslaken down be one of the counsel, and give thefollowiue as the 'acts of the case thus elicited 011the trial befcre the examining cour::

Christian was engaged to attend church with a

lady relative of Blackburn, and receivid a notefrom her declining 1o fulfil that engagement. Sus¬pecting that her breach of the engagement arose

Iroin some inlerlerence of others, as the note ofdeclination contained 110 excuse. Christian address¬ed the lady a note, inquiring if any one had ca-

liuniiiated him to her and requesting the author.This note was kept some days by the lady, but fi¬nally reached the ears of Blackburn who soughtout Christian.avowed himself the inlormant ofthe lady and stated that he held himself responsible for his conduct. Christian was rathes flur¬ried, and told him to let it pass for the present.In the meantime he arm-d himself for the pur¬

pose of ascertaining from Blackburn whether beintended to endorse these imputations upon hischaracter, or whether be had heard them from oth¬ers, saying, that he was a much smaller man thanBlackburn, and would not attack him, but insulthim if he endorsed them, and that he fearedBlack-burn would beat him to death, and that he shoulduse his weapons only in the Inst resort. He thensought Blackburn and asked the explanation..Blackburn replied that he had none to give. Chris¬tian then told him he was no gentleman. Blackburn told him not to repeat bis language. Chris¬tian did repeat, when Blackbnrn lushed on him,and succeeded in getting Christian down andchoked him Very severely. While thua downChristian drew his bowie-knife, and gave theblows which resulted in Blackburn's almost im¬mediate death. He then returned to his Hotel,and there remained until arrested. He refused to

attempt his escape. The blood upon Christians'head, and face, and botom, show that Blackburnmust have been on top when Christian gave.theblo«s, and the indications upon the neck confirmthe fact of being choked. The testimony presentsthese general leading facts a»the real state of thematter, and as such, we have deemed it proper togive them to the public..Lynchburg Republican.

An Englishman's Revenge.One or the papers tells thi« week the story of a

wealthy Englishman, who may constantly be seenat the grand opera and at the Italian opera, andwho enjoys a great reputation, not only as being a

connoisseur ot music, but further, as being a greatamateur of painting. How the latter reputationwas acquired you will presently see. He was, heis, one of those Bedouin Englishmen, who live al¬ternately in all of the European capitals, exceptwhen they are oil an occasional jaunt to Egypt, orto India, or to China, or to the Holy Lund. Henever traveled alone; his wifj was with him, hisbona fide wife, fur, notwithstanding his errant life,(so apt to weaken one's morals.) he had all theEnglish respect for the aex, and a true English¬man's love for his wife. She was a beautiful wo¬

man, one of those "keepsake" beauties, thut onceseeu make a man dream forever. Her social suc¬cess was very great in all the cities ihey visited.In Kome (after some years marriage) they becameacquainted with a Geiman artist, of a good dealof reputation, who, to his art, joined the learningof a B. nedictine, and knew the city of Rome as

well as Winckelmau or Visconti. The Germanvolunteered to be their cicerone in the Eteruulcity; they gladly accepted his offer; many werethe hours they passed away with him in the mu¬seum of the capitol, in the Vatican, in St. Peter's,and ill the delightful excursions they made in theenvirons of Rome. The artist became in love withthe English lady; she reciprocated his affection.The husband, us is always tue case, was a longwhile in seeing the stain upon his honor; suveralyears had passed away before he perceived it, forhe was very much pleased with the artist, and theyhad long been cn the most intimate footing. Al¬though slung to the quick by such base faithless¬ness and such gross violation of all the laws ofh.ospitulity and of friendship, he said nothing, hedisliked scenes; he was, nevertheless, determinedupon a complete vengeance, and he appealed tocooler reflections to furnish forth a suitable pun-isliu ent.

I he passions are bad counsellors. He left Italyand returned with his wile to England, sayingnothing but An rrvoiito the artist. When liereached England, he told his wife of the painfuldiscovery he had made, and he gave her back intoher father's hands. He then returned to the Continent alone, and visited Germany, Russia, andFrance, where he purchased a great many paint¬ings; he then went to Italy, meanwhile contin¬uing to purchase painti.igs, and at last.two yearshad now passed awoy since their last meeting.hecalled 011 the German painter, who still lived in

Home, and demanded satisfaction from him. Hischallenge was accepted; and the Englishman(according to the European custom.much belterrule lhau ours) being the offended parly, selectedthe weapons; ne chose the pistol. During thepast two years he had practised daily for severalhours, and his kuown address with the pistol hadbecome an unerring certainty of shot. He sentthe ball wherever he wished it to go. The pattieswent on tLe ground; they were placed thirty pacesapart, and with the privilege of advancing tensteps before firing. The signal was then given:.Fire! Onel Two! Three!. The word lire was

Scarcely out of the second's mouth, when theEnglishman fired without moving; his antagonist'spisiol fell from his hand, and was discharged bythe fall, the ball burying ilsrlf in the ground..The Englishman's ball had shattered the artist'shand; an amputation wa» necessary.his career ofartist was emied, and forever.A few days after the amputation the Englishman

called on him, and without otherwise noticing theangry reception he met, said to the suffering artist,"if you think my vengeance is satisfied with yourshattered hand the wreck of your artist's career,you strangely underale the agony of a deceived, a

dishonored husband; though 1 have condemnedyou to u life of vain regrets, to a never endingseries of impotent skhs, lo a total oblivion by allamateurs and historians of ar!." "Oh! no, sir,"interrupted llic aitist, his face beaming with a layof hope; "the last yon cannot do; my Madonna,list. Petersburg, my Lulhel, at Berlin; my Flightinto Egypt, Ll Pans; my ." The English¬man inlerropted him in 'urn: "Spare me," saidbe, "the names of your works; but look over thiscatalogue and see if 1 have uot the exact list ofthem all." "Yes, they are all there.even thepnintiug I finished the evening belore the duel.""Sjl was persuaded. All the paintings on thiscatalogue are my property; being my property I dowi h them what 1 please, and 1 please lu buruthem.aye, to burn every one of them, that yourname shall be completely effaced from thegloriousroll of art-sis; ill two hours from this tune, yourtoil, your conceptions, your skill will be as com¬

pletely effaced from tnis world, as the name theurchin traces in the sand is effaced by the risingtide; fire is as destructive as water!" in vainthe poor artist tegged lor mercy, the wronged hus¬band was co.np elely insensible to Ins supplica¬tions, and in two hours a servant brought lo theartist's room a large earthen vessel, commonly usedto contain oil, filled witn ashes.it was all thai re¬mained of his paintings..1'uris Cor.
