É LE A Timery Rescue \u2014While the \u201cUnited Stage squadron was lying at \u2018Cape Palmas, the common dore and several of pis officers being on shoré,,Governor Roberts with them, they received information that the ceremony of drinking sassy-wood was then taking place at a native town quite beap the cape.Most of our readers, perhaps, are ablgustitad with the nature of this piece of heathenish Larbarity.When a native dies, his townsmen conclude that he died of witchcraft, and there is always ready at hand some one to originate suspicion respecting the supposed murderer.The pour victim on whom these suspicions rest is apprehended, and before an immense multitude is compelled to drink draught\"after draught of an infusion of the bark of pA as it is termed by the natives.This bark possesses strong poisonous qualities, and the poor sufferer in a few hours dies a painful and horrid death, The practice is not unfréquently used toget rid of some useless member of the community, who the] imagine has lived too long already.So it was in the case above referred to.A poor old man wes accused of having'witched the deceased, andthe must pass through the dreadful ordeal.They had assembled and he had already drank a large quaatity df the infusion, when Commodore Perry and his party hastened to the spot.Seeing them approaching, and conjecturing that a rescue was intended, the natives thrust the poor half dead victim into a canoe, put in a couple of their best paddlbrs\u2018aüd away they \u2018 were bearing him on the lagoon which extents sever ral miles down the coast.But the benevolent intentions of the party were not'to be so easily baffled.Commodore Perry caused two of their head men to be seized, and declared his purpose of taking them on board his vessel, and there keeping them, unless the poor fellow was immediately returned and his freedom secured to him.This produced t oof feot immediately.The man was retformed-Ærrot videntially relieved by some antidote adniinisterep by a physician, restored, and set at liberty.RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE FROM CHINA: TOLERATION IN Hoxexoxg, &c.From a late number of the \u201c\u201c Chinese Repository,\u201d we copy the añnexed'information.# The Chinese government is most intolerant, its laws forbidding the practice of certain forms of religion on penalty of death.The British government, on the contrary, tolerates all religions; and it is in this island the dominant power.The time will soon come\u2014we cannot doubt it\u2014when religious toleration will become universal.Five years ago no mortal imagined that now free toleration would be en- Jjoyed in any part of what was then the dominions of the Emperor of China, It is not very likely that five years hence the same toleration will be given throughout the whole-of H.I.M.'s dominions; yet should it be so, it would scarcely be more unexpected than what has already occurred.The Church Militant has only to do her duty, and the great \u201cCaptain of salvatiou\u201d\u201d will soon give his people the whole earth for their possession.The following nô- tices will ilinstrate the tolerant spirit of the government in Hongkong.\u2014 = +.- A A Mahomedan mosque has been erected upon an elevated site in Victoria, not far from the magistracy.The building is of stone, and now nearly completed.= A new Chinese temple is about to be under .Handbills and placards are out, for the Sea raising money for the erection of the building.No British Chapel has yet been built; though subscriptions have been made and a site selected.Divine service is held ina temporary building, where one of the naval chaplains officiates.: The chapels of the Baptist mission have been erected by the foreign community in China, ) A new and revised edition of thé Bible .in Chinese has been prepared, and is already in\u2019 pio of execution.This work will require a large outlay of time and careful labor.: It has been resolved that the whole body of Protestant Missionaries to the Chinese do form a géverfl Committee for the purpose of revising the transla tion of the Scriptures in the Chinese language ;

added to which, persons baving dealings with corporations should inform themselves of the power pussessed by them, Innocent parties giving, in good faith, bona Bde value fur the bonds, and persous who gave up to the company other securities, and look to the bonds ib paymeut of their debts, may be allowed (the Vice Congress will not adjourn before July.The Southern men say they will oppose an adjournment until a bill is passed to extend a Territorial Goveru- ment over Texas.Tue Horrip MURDERs IN PrrTssure.\u2014 Charles Diehl, who murdered his wife and child at Pittsburg on Monday last, nearly killing a second child, and then attempting to commit suicide, was an ornamental painter, from Lancaster.They had four children \u2014the oldest is a girl about 9 years of age ;
