Testimorial.—In bidding adieu to my friends and . John Pheenix in Boston. The Knickerbocker of February contains a Ietter from JOHN Pueoenrx, written in Boston, which is in a very extensive sense of the word —rich, Letter ta the F:ditar, from John Phenix. “Tt is Sunday in Boston. I have been sitting in my room, No. 78 Tremont House, by the window, which commands a cheerful yiew of a grave yard, musing on various matters and things in a solemn state of mind well befitting the place and the oceasion. Seventeen inches of snow fell last night, and Boston looks white like the Island of Ichabee, and to be full as desolate. Through the hollow and reverberating passages of this ancient building; around the corners of the sinuous streets; from each door and window, inevery private and public building, and from the houses of God, resounds the peculiar sharp hacking cough of the population of Boston. Every soul of them has it. It is the disease of the country. When I meet an acquaintance in the street, I abstain from the usual greeting, and inyariably say, ‘ How is your cough ?’ and the reply invariably is. ‘About the same.’ Coughing, and the ancient pastime of hawking, (followed by expectoration,) are the principal amusements in this cold city. In the grave yard beneath my window, on a slate tombstone, may be found, [ am informed, the following touching inscription : “Here Ilie bereft of breath, Jecanse a cough carried me off, Thef a coftin, they carried me off in;” which, I doubt not, deseribes the case of the majority of the silent incumbents of that place of rest. ‘The Tremont House is in many re. spects a good institution ; it is perfectly clean and well arranged, the attendance is good and the fodder excellent ; but there is an indescribable air of gloom and solemnity pervades the entire establishment well suited to Boston, but . chilling to a stranger to the last degree. The waiters, dressed in black, with white neckelcths, move silently and . sadly about the tables, looking like so a penile einen thane ernie tennessee Sasser ss ers sts utes esses seeps satis . many methodist ministers with thirteen children, four hundred a year, and two donation parties ; the man in the oflice never smiles—in any point of view; a large Bible, with the name of the house stamped upon it in gilt letters, (to prevent religious strangers from bottling it,) lies on every table, and the chambermaids attend family prayers in the basement. Allis ‘grand, gloomy,’ and it must be confessed exceedingly peculiar. [have attempted but two jokes in this solemn place, and they fell like the flakes of snow, silent and unnoticed.— An unfortunate individual in the reading room last evening was seized with an unusually violent fit of coughing, which, if a man could by any possibility be twned inside out, would have done it; and asa partial cessation of it occurred, with his hair standing on end, (he had coughed his hat off,) his face glowing with exertion, and the tears standing in his unhappy eyes, he very naturally gave vent to a profane execration. Everybody looked shocked! I remarked in an audible tone to my companion that the exclamation was a coffer-dam ; an admirable contrivance for raising obstructions from the bottom of streams, and probably adopted by the gentleman to clear his throat; but no one laughed, and I incontinently went to bed. This morning on arising I discovered that my boots, left outside the door to be embellished with blacking, had, like those of Bombastes, not been displaced; so I said to the porter, a man of grave and solemn aspect: ‘ You have a very honest set of people about this house.’ < Why ? said the porter, with a somewhat startled expression. ‘ Because,’ 1 rejoined, ‘I left my boots outside my door last nignt, and find this morning no one has touched them.’— That man walked off slow and stately, and never knew I had been humorous. Disappointments have been my lot in life. I remember in early childhood going to the theatre to see Mrs. W. H. Smith appear in two pieces; the bills said she would do it, and she came on the stage perfectly whole and entire like any other lady. Upon the whole it is my impression that Boston is a dull, gloomy, precise and solemn city, which . take to be owing entirely to the intense cold that prevails there in the winter, which chills and freezes up the warmer nature of the inhabitants, who don’t have time to get thawed out before the cold comes back again. I have met many Bostonians in more genial climates, who appeared to be very hearty and agreeable fellows. I took a short ride yesterday in the Metropolitan Railroad ears, which are dragged by horse-power from the Tremont House to Roxbury. ‘The only other occupant of my car was a young and lovely female in deep mourning. She wore a heavy black veil, and her thick and beautiful auburn hair was gathered up on each side her face, beneath a spotless cap, a widow's cap of snowy muslin. I had always a feeling for widows ; young and pretty widows particularly, always excite my deepest interest and sympathy. I gazed with moistened eye on the sweet specimen before me, so young, so beautiful, LT thought, and alas! what suffering she has experienced. 1 pictured to myself her devotion to her husband during his last illness, the untiring watchfulness with which she hung over his pillow, the unwearying and self-sacrificing spirit with which she hoped on, hoped ever, till in despite of her care, her love, he sank forever, and her agonized shriek rang in my ear, as with hands clasped and up-turned eye, she felt that he was dead, her dream of life was over, her strength was gone, her heart was broken. The young widow had been regarding me earnestly during this time, and probably imagined what was passing in my mind, for throwing her veil over her hat, she turned partly round toward me, and looking steadfastly in my face—she winked her eye!— . , Yes, sir, she winked her eye at me—the moral Pheonix; and I rose f-om my ashes and left the Metropclitan car and returned to the Tremont House. And is it possible, thought I, as I gazed from my window up Tremont street and observed a sanctimonious gentleman in a long, black overcoat, look hastily up and down the street, and then dodge up a small alley in great haste ; is it possible that this little widow in the car is at all typical of the great city to which she belongs? A most respectable, staid, and solemn outward appearance—covering a very strong disposition to that deviltry which is defined by the Bible as “the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye, and the pride of life.” But Boston, clothed in its robe of snow, looked too pure, too bride-like, and J dismissed the supposition from my mind. ‘'They don’t have theatrical performances in Boston on Saturday evenings, the theatres open at 3 o’clock P. M., and the performance is over at six.— Thalberg was allowed to give a concert here last evening, however. He was practicing a little this morning also on the piano, when a message came froma serious family in the next room begging him not to play dancing tunes. He didn’t. ‘I had intended to have written to you more at length, but am off to New Orleans directly, and must pack my trunk. Boston is a great place. I am sorry I hadn’t time to go and see the Monastery presided over by Abbot Lawrence, that was burned by the Orangemen. Yours truly and respectfully, ‘Joun PHOENIX.’ Peru in the Fifteenth Century. The Peruvian Empire, at the time of the discovery of America, included the modern republics of Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and Chile, in a direct line North and South; the Pacific forming its Western boundary, while its Eastern was indefinitely defined, but extending, in some parts, far beyond the Andes or Copper Mountains, to the confines of the barbarous nations of the Atlantic. Hemmed in by colossal mountains, whose snowy summits resisted the most fervent rays of a tropical sun, and which nothing but the glowing fires of their volcanic furnaces could divest of their rigid aspect, the surface of the country presented a formidable barrier to agriculture and internal communication, for rough sierras and hideous chasms, or quebradas, down whose granite and porphyritic sides rushed furious torrents, which were soon lost in the dark abyss, whose fathomless depths terrified the heart of the most intrepid traveler, were obstacles seemingly insurmountable, but which proved no impediment to the untiring industry of the Indian of Peru. Canals and subterraneous acqueduets fertilized the parched deserts of the coasts, and clothed them in soft verdure. The rugged mountain sides, by constant cultivaticn, produced abundantly fruits common to both torrid and temperate climes; while numerous flocks of 7/amas, or Peruvian sheep, guarded by shepherds, browsed on the stunted vegetation of the snowy peaks. Quiet Eamlets occupied the flowery plateaus among the mountains, and nobler towns and cities dotted the broad plains. Roads were constructed through the wild mountain passes to facilitate the intercourse of the inhabitants— These roads were often ent out of the solid rocks for leagues. Frightful ravines were filled up and covered with an imperishable cement, which still resists the desolating finger of time. Suspension bridges, of osier cables, covered with planks, spanned the otherwise impassable ravines; and where descent was necessary, stairways, hewn out of the solid granite and porphyry, attested the wonderful industry of this nation in promoting inland and sea-port communication. Posts were established centuries before the more civilized nations of the world had given them a thought.— These extensive roads were divided into short distances of something less than five miles, so that each runner might have,ample opportunity for rest, while his burden or message was_ rapidly carried cn by another; fin this way one hundred and fifty miles per day could be traveled with ease; thus rendering the business communication at once facile and rapid. Montesinos asserts that the royal table was supplied with fish taken a hundred leagues from the capital in twenty-four hours after being drawn from the ocean. The rich mines of gold and silver became an inexhaustible revenue to the country where none but royalty had occasion to make use of these treasures, as currency was unknown among them, Magnificent temples were erected to the sun, the ornaments of which, were of solid gold, as well as the vessels of worship, and implements of husbandry used on the sacred grounds belonging to the temples. The people of this extensive empire, all speaking one language and wisely governed by a mild but despotic prince, were contented, industrious and happy. ‘To them great riches and extreme poverty were alike unknown, for there the agrarian law was fully carried out; save that the king like a true father to his people was absolute proprietor of all the land and wealth of his vast empire, and each subject received his portion of rented land every year, with the privilege of retaining it, at the usual rent as long as he proved himself an industriovs and careful husbandman. Now conquered and subdued by a foreign immigration, whose laws and eustoms were to them unknown, thejr greatness has passed away, and the children of the sun, as they were designated, bewail the fate of their noble sovereigns, as they in sadness atill listen to the ancient songs of triumph now remembered and sung by the Spanish invaders.—-Pz. cific Sentinel. : ; iF NA WHOLE NUMBER 359. Honors. Greece, in the heroic times, rendered to all her great generals and captains some liberal reward as a proof of the public approbatiun of respect. This was sometimes offered in the shape of a vase of gold, or of a silver tripod, or some other valuable article of utility or of mere ornament, Similar rewards were conceded to the victorious Roman leader in the shape of a triumph or ovation. Nor was it to military merit alone that the ancients decreed honors; the fine arts were made objects of national regard and encouragement. Philosophy, eloquence, painting, poetry, music, sculpture, architecture, were each enabled to aspire to the highest distinctions. The Laexdemonians, even although their education was decidedly warlike, erected statues to the poet Tyrteus.— At the celebrated public games in Sparta, prizes wire distributed to the most successful emongst the poets and musicians. Athens erected statues to Solon, to Socrates, and an jnfinity of others. To Homer, temples were raised; and various poets and artists received crowns, prerogatives, and often the rights of citizenship. Ihe Athenians inscribed upon the front of their temples the names of the able architects who designed them. The town of Pergamus purchased with the public funds a palace for the reception of the works of Apelles. The Eleans, for whom Phidias executed the statue of Jupiter Olympus, in honor for the memory of the artist, and in respect for the beauty of his work, erected, in favor of his descendants, a lucrative office, of which the only duty consisted in taking care of, and keeping free from blemish, that celebrated piece of art. In the times of the republic, by the Romans, amongst whom the use of arms constituted the chief, nay, almost the only species of merit, few testimonies of esteem were awarded to the practisers of the fine arts. They affixed no honorable distinctions to the successful architect, painter, or sculptor, inasmuch as the:e peaceful avocations were, for the most part, eultivated either by slaves or freedmen. It was not till the reign of Augustus Cwsar that the arts were duly honored. On the revival of intellectual energy, after the darkness of the middle ages, the arts were liberally encouraged — Michael Angelo was in high favor with the fierce Julius II. Raphael was greatly beloved by Leo X; and the Emperor Maximilian became the warm advoecate of Albert Durer, whom he ennobled. Leonardo da Vinci died in the arms of Francis I. Rubens enjoyed the highest consideration, and was entrusted with important negotiations both by Philip of Spain, and Charles II of England. Even the stern Henry VIII was a mild and kind master to Holbein ; and the illustrious name of Medici will at once recall the zeal uf that princely family for the cultivation of the fine arts. A “Stunning” Froclamation. In our late Chinese exchanges we find the following proclamation from Yeh, Governor of Canton, to the faithful subjects of the Empire. calling upon them to enterupona general scheme of extermination against the English. It is no doubt a splendid specimen of the Chinese vernacular: Yeh Ming Ching, Governor General of the two Kwang, Member of the Imperial Cabinet, Baron of the Empire, &c., issues the following for the informa. tion of all: The operations of an army can only be efficient when union firmly exists. It is the attitude of a multitudinous assemblage of organized men, that diffuses terror throughout regions; even the wild clans on the borders, both north and south, are stricken with awe, and the favor of the Emperor is sought after with respectful earnestness. Now, these English barbarians—these kindred of dogs and boars—unmannerly, devoid of all knowledge of propriety in human intercourse——wolves and jackalls in their greed—lustful, incestuous, bestial—wandering hither and thither, reckless and regardless of all right, human and divine, like flocks of carrion crows to the carcass, have come from their hell-nests; treat our Celestial dynasty with contempt, and, in a moment when our troops are unprepared for them. take possession of our fortresses, burn houses and shops of the industrious, and carry to the top of their bent their infernal wickednes. The gods are angry ; men are furious; nor earth nor heaven can longer endure their presence. They must be exterminated, root and branch; not a sprout must remain. Arm, then, you people of the Celestial Empire, in firm purpose unite, and with vigor proceed to action. Meet, soldiers and gentry ; exhibit your loyalty; and, joining your forces of braves in every district, swear that, as the furious hurricane, you will proceed to vengeance, until the country’s honor be redeemed, Reverently obey the Imperial decree, and the memorial of your gocdness will be seen in the places of record. Then great will be the glory of the State. Surpassing the days . of Shun, the elements will continue to bring back the happiness of the golden days Tau; the land, eleared of all baneful influences, will produce in plenty ; 9 peace and happiness be the lot of all. These English must be exterminated, so that their fate be a warning to other nations from the west. As for traitorous natives in the service of these English imps, they must be sought out, and, on apprehension, suffer condign punishment. The graves of the ancestors of the greater villains must be broken up; the tamilies of the lesser seum destroyed, both small and great. Twenty days are allowed the servants of foreigners to return to their homes; those who, in the hope of devilish gain, linger over this limit, will obtain no merey, and their families at once be proceeded against.

Kitt or Cure.—When old Bogns’s wife fell ill, he sent for a doctor, as sordid and avaricious as himself. Before the doctor saw the patient, he wished to have an understanding with the miserly husband. “Here’s forty dollars,” said Bogus, “and you shall have it whether you eure my wife or kill her.” The woman died, and the doetor ealled for the bill. “Did you kill my wife?’ asked Bogus. Certainly not,” replied the indignant dodtor. “Well, you didn’t cure her,” “You know she’s dead,” _ “Very well, then, leave the house itt dosplp quick time,” said Bogus. “A bargain’s a bargain. It was kill or cure, you did neither.” Returning To “Parirtiket Lire.’ —‘I have recently given up all idea of women folks and came baek to parilitikel life.

Testimorial.—In bidding adieu to my friends and . John Pheenix in Boston. The Knickerbocker of February contains a Ietter from JOHN Pueoenrx, written in Boston, which is in a very extensive sense of the word —rich, Letter ta the F:ditar, from John Phenix. “Tt is Sunday in Boston. I have been sitting in my room, No. 78 Tremont House, by the window, which commands a cheerful yiew of a grave yard, musing on various matters and things in a solemn state of mind well befitting the place and the oceasion. Seventeen inches of snow fell last night, and Boston looks white like the Island of Ichabee, and to be full as desolate. Through the hollow and reverberating passages of this ancient building; around the corners of the sinuous streets; from each door and window, inevery private and public building, and from the houses of God, resounds the peculiar sharp hacking cough of the population of Boston. Every soul of them has it. It is the disease of the country. When I meet an acquaintance in the street, I abstain from the usual greeting, and inyariably say, ‘ How is your cough ?’ and the reply invariably is. ‘About the same.’ Coughing, and the ancient pastime of hawking, (followed by expectoration,) are the principal amusements in this cold city. In the grave yard beneath my window, on a slate tombstone, may be found, [ am informed, the following touching inscription : “Here Ilie bereft of breath, Jecanse a cough carried me off, Thef a coftin, they carried me off in;” which, I doubt not, deseribes the case of the majority of the silent incumbents of that place of rest. ‘The Tremont House is in many re. spects a good institution ; it is perfectly clean and well arranged, the attendance is good and the fodder excellent ; but there is an indescribable air of gloom and solemnity pervades the entire establishment well suited to Boston, but . chilling to a stranger to the last degree. The waiters, dressed in black, with white neckelcths, move silently and . sadly about the tables, looking like so a penile einen thane ernie tennessee Sasser ss ers sts utes esses seeps satis . many methodist ministers with thirteen children, four hundred a year, and two donation parties ; the man in the oflice never smiles—in any point of view; a large Bible, with the name of the house stamped upon it in gilt letters, (to prevent religious strangers from bottling it,) lies on every table, and the chambermaids attend family prayers in the basement. Allis ‘grand, gloomy,’ and it must be confessed exceedingly peculiar. [have attempted but two jokes in this solemn place, and they fell like the flakes of snow, silent and unnoticed.— An unfortunate individual in the reading room last evening was seized with an unusually violent fit of coughing, which, if a man could by any possibility be twned inside out, would have done it; and asa partial cessation of it occurred, with his hair standing on end, (he had coughed his hat off,) his face glowing with exertion, and the tears standing in his unhappy eyes, he very naturally gave vent to a profane execration. Everybody looked shocked! I remarked in an audible tone to my companion that the exclamation was a coffer-dam ; an admirable contrivance for raising obstructions from the bottom of streams, and probably adopted by the gentleman to clear his throat; but no one laughed, and I incontinently went to bed. This morning on arising I discovered that my boots, left outside the door to be embellished with blacking, had, like those of Bombastes, not been displaced; so I said to the porter, a man of grave and solemn aspect: ‘ You have a very honest set of people about this house.’ < Why ? said the porter, with a somewhat startled expression. ‘ Because,’ 1 rejoined, ‘I left my boots outside my door last nignt, and find this morning no one has touched them.’— That man walked off slow and stately, and never knew I had been humorous. Disappointments have been my lot in life. I remember in early childhood going to the theatre to see Mrs. W. H. Smith appear in two pieces; the bills said she would do it, and she came on the stage perfectly whole and entire like any other lady. Upon the whole it is my impression that Boston is a dull, gloomy, precise and solemn city, which . take to be owing entirely to the intense cold that prevails there in the winter, which chills and freezes up the warmer nature of the inhabitants, who don’t have time to get thawed out before the cold comes back again. I have met many Bostonians in more genial climates, who appeared to be very hearty and agreeable fellows. I took a short ride yesterday in the Metropolitan Railroad ears, which are dragged by horse-power from the Tremont House to Roxbury. ‘The only other occupant of my car was a young and lovely female in deep mourning. She wore a heavy black veil, and her thick and beautiful auburn hair was gathered up on each side her face, beneath a spotless cap, a widow's cap of snowy muslin. I had always a feeling for widows ; young and pretty widows particularly, always excite my deepest interest and sympathy. I gazed with moistened eye on the sweet specimen before me, so young, so beautiful, LT thought, and alas! what suffering she has experienced. 1 pictured to myself her devotion to her husband during his last illness, the untiring watchfulness with which she hung over his pillow, the unwearying and self-sacrificing spirit with which she hoped on, hoped ever, till in despite of her care, her love, he sank forever, and her agonized shriek rang in my ear, as with hands clasped and up-turned eye, she felt that he was dead, her dream of life was over, her strength was gone, her heart was broken. The young widow had been regarding me earnestly during this time, and probably imagined what was passing in my mind, for throwing her veil over her hat, she turned partly round toward me, and looking steadfastly in my face—she winked her eye!— . , Yes, sir, she winked her eye at me—the moral Pheonix; and I rose f-om my ashes and left the Metropclitan car and returned to the Tremont House. And is it possible, thought I, as I gazed from my window up Tremont street and observed a sanctimonious gentleman in a long, black overcoat, look hastily up and down the street, and then dodge up a small alley in great haste ; is it possible that this little widow in the car is at all typical of the great city to which she belongs? A most respectable, staid, and solemn outward appearance—covering a very strong disposition to that deviltry which is defined by the Bible as “the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye, and the pride of life.” But Boston, clothed in its robe of snow, looked too pure, too bride-like, and J dismissed the supposition from my mind. ‘'They don’t have theatrical performances in Boston on Saturday evenings, the theatres open at 3 o’clock P. M., and the performance is over at six.— Thalberg was allowed to give a concert here last evening, however. He was practicing a little this morning also on the piano, when a message came froma serious family in the next room begging him not to play dancing tunes. He didn’t. ‘I had intended to have written to you more at length, but am off to New Orleans directly, and must pack my trunk. Boston is a great place. I am sorry I hadn’t time to go and see the Monastery presided over by Abbot Lawrence, that was burned by the Orangemen. Yours truly and respectfully, ‘Joun PHOENIX.’ Peru in the Fifteenth Century. The Peruvian Empire, at the time of the discovery of America, included the modern republics of Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and Chile, in a direct line North and South; the Pacific forming its Western boundary, while its Eastern was indefinitely defined, but extending, in some parts, far beyond the Andes or Copper Mountains, to the confines of the barbarous nations of the Atlantic. Hemmed in by colossal mountains, whose snowy summits resisted the most fervent rays of a tropical sun, and which nothing but the glowing fires of their volcanic furnaces could divest of their rigid aspect, the surface of the country presented a formidable barrier to agriculture and internal communication, for rough sierras and hideous chasms, or quebradas, down whose granite and porphyritic sides rushed furious torrents, which were soon lost in the dark abyss, whose fathomless depths terrified the heart of the most intrepid traveler, were obstacles seemingly insurmountable, but which proved no impediment to the untiring industry of the Indian of Peru. Canals and subterraneous acqueduets fertilized the parched deserts of the coasts, and clothed them in soft verdure. The rugged mountain sides, by constant cultivaticn, produced abundantly fruits common to both torrid and temperate climes; while numerous flocks of 7/amas, or Peruvian sheep, guarded by shepherds, browsed on the stunted vegetation of the snowy peaks. Quiet Eamlets occupied the flowery plateaus among the mountains, and nobler towns and cities dotted the broad plains. Roads were constructed through the wild mountain passes to facilitate the intercourse of the inhabitants— These roads were often ent out of the solid rocks for leagues. Frightful ravines were filled up and covered with an imperishable cement, which still resists the desolating finger of time. Suspension bridges, of osier cables, covered with planks, spanned the otherwise impassable ravines; and where descent was necessary, stairways, hewn out of the solid granite and porphyry, attested the wonderful industry of this nation in promoting inland and sea-port communication. Posts were established centuries before the more civilized nations of the world had given them a thought.— These extensive roads were divided into short distances of something less than five miles, so that each runner might have,ample opportunity for rest, while his burden or message was_ rapidly carried cn by another; fin this way one hundred and fifty miles per day could be traveled with ease; thus rendering the business communication at once facile and rapid. Montesinos asserts that the royal table was supplied with fish taken a hundred leagues from the capital in twenty-four hours after being drawn from the ocean. The rich mines of gold and silver became an inexhaustible revenue to the country where none but royalty had occasion to make use of these treasures, as currency was unknown among them, Magnificent temples were erected to the sun, the ornaments of which, were of solid gold, as well as the vessels of worship, and implements of husbandry used on the sacred grounds belonging to the temples. The people of this extensive empire, all speaking one language and wisely governed by a mild but despotic prince, were contented, industrious and happy. ‘To them great riches and extreme poverty were alike unknown, for there the agrarian law was fully carried out; save that the king like a true father to his people was absolute proprietor of all the land and wealth of his vast empire, and each subject received his portion of rented land every year, with the privilege of retaining it, at the usual rent as long as he proved himself an industriovs and careful husbandman. Now conquered and subdued by a foreign immigration, whose laws and eustoms were to them unknown, thejr greatness has passed away, and the children of the sun, as they were designated, bewail the fate of their noble sovereigns, as they in sadness atill listen to the ancient songs of triumph now remembered and sung by the Spanish invaders.—-Pz. cific Sentinel. : ; iF NA WHOLE NUMBER 359. Honors. Greece, in the heroic times, rendered to all her great generals and captains some liberal reward as a proof of the public approbatiun of respect. This was sometimes offered in the shape of a vase of gold, or of a silver tripod, or some other valuable article of utility or of mere ornament, Similar rewards were conceded to the victorious Roman leader in the shape of a triumph or ovation. Nor was it to military merit alone that the ancients decreed honors; the fine arts were made objects of national regard and encouragement. Philosophy, eloquence, painting, poetry, music, sculpture, architecture, were each enabled to aspire to the highest distinctions. The Laexdemonians, even although their education was decidedly warlike, erected statues to the poet Tyrteus.— At the celebrated public games in Sparta, prizes wire distributed to the most successful emongst the poets and musicians. Athens erected statues to Solon, to Socrates, and an jnfinity of others. To Homer, temples were raised; and various poets and artists received crowns, prerogatives, and often the rights of citizenship. Ihe Athenians inscribed upon the front of their temples the names of the able architects who designed them. The town of Pergamus purchased with the public funds a palace for the reception of the works of Apelles. The Eleans, for whom Phidias executed the statue of Jupiter Olympus, in honor for the memory of the artist, and in respect for the beauty of his work, erected, in favor of his descendants, a lucrative office, of which the only duty consisted in taking care of, and keeping free from blemish, that celebrated piece of art. In the times of the republic, by the Romans, amongst whom the use of arms constituted the chief, nay, almost the only species of merit, few testimonies of esteem were awarded to the practisers of the fine arts. They affixed no honorable distinctions to the successful architect, painter, or sculptor, inasmuch as the:e peaceful avocations were, for the most part, eultivated either by slaves or freedmen. It was not till the reign of Augustus Cwsar that the arts were duly honored. On the revival of intellectual energy, after the darkness of the middle ages, the arts were liberally encouraged — Michael Angelo was in high favor with the fierce Julius II. Raphael was greatly beloved by Leo X; and the Emperor Maximilian became the warm advoecate of Albert Durer, whom he ennobled. Leonardo da Vinci died in the arms of Francis I. Rubens enjoyed the highest consideration, and was entrusted with important negotiations both by Philip of Spain, and Charles II of England. Even the stern Henry VIII was a mild and kind master to Holbein ; and the illustrious name of Medici will at once recall the zeal uf that princely family for the cultivation of the fine arts. A “Stunning” Froclamation. In our late Chinese exchanges we find the following proclamation from Yeh, Governor of Canton, to the faithful subjects of the Empire. calling upon them to enterupona general scheme of extermination against the English. It is no doubt a splendid specimen of the Chinese vernacular: Yeh Ming Ching, Governor General of the two Kwang, Member of the Imperial Cabinet, Baron of the Empire, &c., issues the following for the informa. tion of all: The operations of an army can only be efficient when union firmly exists. It is the attitude of a multitudinous assemblage of organized men, that diffuses terror throughout regions; even the wild clans on the borders, both north and south, are stricken with awe, and the favor of the Emperor is sought after with respectful earnestness. Now, these English barbarians—these kindred of dogs and boars—unmannerly, devoid of all knowledge of propriety in human intercourse——wolves and jackalls in their greed—lustful, incestuous, bestial—wandering hither and thither, reckless and regardless of all right, human and divine, like flocks of carrion crows to the carcass, have come from their hell-nests; treat our Celestial dynasty with contempt, and, in a moment when our troops are unprepared for them. take possession of our fortresses, burn houses and shops of the industrious, and carry to the top of their bent their infernal wickednes. The gods are angry ; men are furious; nor earth nor heaven can longer endure their presence. They must be exterminated, root and branch; not a sprout must remain. Arm, then, you people of the Celestial Empire, in firm purpose unite, and with vigor proceed to action. Meet, soldiers and gentry ; exhibit your loyalty; and, joining your forces of braves in every district, swear that, as the furious hurricane, you will proceed to vengeance, until the country’s honor be redeemed, Reverently obey the Imperial decree, and the memorial of your gocdness will be seen in the places of record. Then great will be the glory of the State. Surpassing the days . of Shun, the elements will continue to bring back the happiness of the golden days Tau; the land, eleared of all baneful influences, will produce in plenty ; 9 peace and happiness be the lot of all. These English must be exterminated, so that their fate be a warning to other nations from the west. As for traitorous natives in the service of these English imps, they must be sought out, and, on apprehension, suffer condign punishment. The graves of the ancestors of the greater villains must be broken up; the tamilies of the lesser seum destroyed, both small and great. Twenty days are allowed the servants of foreigners to return to their homes; those who, in the hope of devilish gain, linger over this limit, will obtain no merey, and their families at once be proceeded against.

Kitt or Cure.—When old Bogns’s wife fell ill, he sent for a doctor, as sordid and avaricious as himself. Before the doctor saw the patient, he wished to have an understanding with the miserly husband. “Here’s forty dollars,” said Bogus, “and you shall have it whether you eure my wife or kill her.” The woman died, and the doetor ealled for the bill. “Did you kill my wife?’ asked Bogus. Certainly not,” replied the indignant dodtor. “Well, you didn’t cure her,” “You know she’s dead,” _ “Very well, then, leave the house itt dosplp quick time,” said Bogus. “A bargain’s a bargain.
