Venire from Canlssn, arrived at this port yertefduy
She left Canton on rhe-22d May, and Macao three

We are informed by tho intelligent lupcrearso,
that no progress whatever had been made towar.1#

hut that, on tho contrary, when the Venice left Can
ton, nnd a’nuhtber of large China junks and screws,
with stone, had drop [ted down tho river, ready to

ly expected to arrive from- Singapore. The Atneri

There wu* much diversion of opinion in relation

was also at that piece.

Hut the' British fleet nt Singapore, consisting of 30
vessels ofw uiliind 40 ifurisputts—a pMeiful afmu-
ment,—were known tu be nt Singapore—and on the
evo of sailing tu the anticipated srene of action. It
appears ulsu, thut 'Admiral Elliot, with MiYee line of
buttlo ships, had pesketl tho Strails'of Sends.
A British Commissariat Department was station
cd at Singapore.
An impression prevailed nt Macao, tiint within
three or lour weeks from the sailing of Venice,
something decisive wouhl take-plhce—that'either
tiio Chinese would agree tu tertris to be proposed ur
lltal a warlike demonstration would be mndo ami
probably a blow sttuck. Tt will be remffmbeml
that, according lo our latent advices fr'om' England,
it wns rumor'cd'lliat a landing would pi'Gbuhiy be
effected, covered by a •uffici- > nvnaVal force With tho
intentiun'of marching a large putt ion'ol tho troops

Macao uro entirely unocqUurnted with the ifntuVo of
the intended movements. It is therefore mArdtffdn

the chief point of (mark.
The last edict isrited,- prohibits tiro importation
of Brilisli goods and manufactVires of every kinds
wlieihtr in British ships, or the vessels of other
notions.
Nothing'M'as known of the opinions of the peo
pie if Canton generally, hrfoct under the Chinese
Government, public reeling/can hardly be sniri to
have a*voice, but thn gentleman 'tb 'whom '\vo are
obliged fur all the derails contained in this'l’ost-.
script, says that the population of Cuntun v was sta

ocular demonstration, a* to tho'great diminution of
the inhabitants on the river. Tito numbers uf bouts

OHIO.
Extract from a letter, dated
Canton,'Ohio, Sopt. '24, 1840.
Wft left Wooster un the mnrning ofthe 23d, with
a large escort ofthe citizens nnd the military, with
a band of mueib.'and [itoecedcd ro Dover, where
Col. Johnson addressed tire people. The road wns
crowded with citizens, nil the wuy exhibiting the
greatest enthusiasm, and pressing forward to see
Colonel I. At Massillon, which wns reached at vix,
many thoutunds greeted him; and a very -haddsome
speech Wu* delivered ly Muirhclv !fobn«on,rsq^ en
behalf of tire town, to which Col.'Johnson replied
at lotrgth. This morning at eight we -reached Can
ton, where the first regularly appointed mealing
wn* held. Mr. Allen nnd Governor Shannon ar
rived last night, und were on thcgrotiud nt un curly
horn; nml tho Massillon nnd oilier .processions were
crowding itfto lire city for several hours. There
were various devices und emblems of Democracy
in ouch procession—ufiira display of the cavalry
of this plan-, together with two or three diffi rent
[minis uf music. Tho whole scene looked more like
tho city of Now York lliun young Ohio. Hundreds
of ladies nlso joined in, and nt ten o’clock, the
entire crowd proceeded to a stand in a grove near
town, providtd for tha ocension. Thu number is
estimated nt 10,000 or 15,000; I would sny 12,000)
in whirh number most concur. Col. Johnson was
introduced to the people in a most huppy manner
hy Mr. Starkweather. He wns received witli long
and loud npplnuse, nnd listened to with deep nnd
enrnest nttenion for two hours. Many topics were
disposed of,and hit exposition of the life und per
sonal and polhicnl character of the I’tesidenl was
nble, perenious, ond highly sntisfuctm.y. His re
futation ofthe charges in regard to tho standing
army, was nlso every conclusive.
Governor Shannon next spoke, and vindicated his
inVetnal and Slate po icy, lo the great satisfaction
of the thousands who sm rounded him. Mr. Allen
concluded in a speech of throe hours, which, for
eloquence nnd effect, has rarely been surpassed.—
His appeals to the people have no parallel in mo
dern limes. Judge Tuppan was also present, and
made u few remarks. Our friends nro sanguine of
Ohio; and vigilance nnd energy aro now entirely
nwakened. In such a cause, and among such
people, tho principles wecontrnd fur ntu»t prevail.
The greatest order nnd harmony prevailed through
oat the entire proceedings, and tho evening wns en
livenmiV-ilh music, nnd a display offirewotks. At
4 o. m.’they sot out for Akron, fur to-morrow’s dis
cutsiun.

A pamphlet ha* been published in London in
relation to the formation of a joint-stock Company
farthu AUrpnsn of cultiynHng CiUliVn in India. The
pop^r in which we find tt allude#' to the mailer
as ofgrent commercial importance, fend suvs;—
“When'we vhAv the state of dependence in
which wo are placed on the United States of Ameri
ca for tho raw material oPa brunch of manufacture
whicli in 40 yems has expnnded until its weal nr
wo almost involves our national existence, it must
he scif-evicleritly had policy to depend ho much un.
or. one country fnrour supplies. But there isunoth-
er object than mere political independence lobe
gained by the improvement cf lire cultivation of
tire cotton plant in Indin, which, in present circum.
stances, we deem of inestimable value. Except
the comparatively small portion of cotton which
is at present furnished from the East Indies, the
whole of our consumption is the produce of slave
labour. Now, tho portion of the continent of Asia
which we already occupy, with the adjacent isl
ands, can doubtless ire made to furnish un almost
illimitable supply hy free labour 5 and this comndny
may become the efficient means of cutting up slave
ry by tire rout*. Wo ubsorvo that the basis on
which tho company iritdnd'to proceed is to instruct
tho ntUlve'popultrtitJn fin (ho 'most approved modo
of culture-; and we see no reason why, In a very

IRISH LADIES.
The Irish ladies nrn thus spoken of in a refcent
Idtter from N. t*. W illis, written after a fosliionublu
party in Dublin:
Moore’s remark lias often been quoted—' There
is nothing like an Irish woman to take a man off ids
feet;' but whether this figure of speech was. auggea
tedhy the little bnrd's common sobriquet of' Jump
tfp and kiss me, Tom Moore,' or simply convoyed
his idea of the bewildering clmroctcr of Irish beouty,
it contains, tonny one who lion ever travelled (or
waltzed) in thnt country, n very just as well as real
izing description, l'liyricnlly, Irish \vdtttan -aro
probubly the finest race in the world—I mean, taller,
■bolter limbed nml chested, larger eyed, and with
more luxuriant hair, nr.d freer action than any other
Nation I have obmYved. The Phrenirian fend Span
isltblood, which hns run hundreds ofyears in tlndr
veins, still kindle* its dark lire in their eyrs, und
with tho vivacity oflhe Northern mind and tho bright
color of tho Northern skin, the Southern qualities
mingle in tho most admirable and superb hatmony.
The ides wc form vf Italian nnd Grecian beauty is
never realized in Greece nnd Italy, but we find it in
Irelnnd, heightened nnd exceeded. Cheeks und
lips of tho delicacy nnd bright lint of carnation, with
snowy teeth, nnd hair nnd eyebrows of jet, nro (flint
wo should look for on the pnleltt) of Apelles, could
wo reach tho painter, and reanimate Ids far fumed
models! end these varied charms, united, fall very
commonly to the share of the fair M-lesion of the
upper cln.ses. In other lands uf dark eyes, the
rareness of it fine grained skin, to nrcccsnry to a
brunette, makes beamy so rare—but whether it is
the damp or softness of the climate or tho infusion
of Saxon Idood, a coarse skin is alhmtt never seen
in freiond. I speak now only of the better horn
ranks of society, fot in all my travels In Ireland, I
did not chance to see even one peusant girl of any
pretensions to good looks. From North to Suuth,
they look to tne coarse, dirty, ill formed and tepul
live.
Nothing could bo morn captivating ni.d delight
ful than tho munners of the Irish women, nnd noth
ing at the same time, could be morent war with the
first principles of English high breeding—coldness
and teti-nu. The frank, alnioHi liilnrinint 'how ate
yon?' of an Irish gill, her whole handed and cor-
diui grasp, os often in llio dny us you meet her,
the perfectly Unmissy ish, confiding, direct charac
ter orher conversation, are all traits whicli Would
•tamp herns somewhat rtidely bred in England,
and «s desperately vulgar in Now York or Phila
delphia.
Modest to n proverb, the Irish woman Is as un
suspecting of an impropriety us if it were nn im
possible tiling, and rhe is a* fearless nnd joycii* as
a midshipman, ond sometimes ns noisy. In a ball
room she looks ill dressed, not Iccauso her dress
was ill put on, but she dances, not glides, sits dow n
without care, palls her flowers to pieces and if her
headdress incommode*her, gives it u pull or a
push—acts which would be perfect insanity of Al-
mack's. Ifsho is offended, she asks for an expla
nation, If she does not understand you, sh<* con
fosses her ignorance. If she wishes to sco you the
next dny, sho tells yon how andwl.cn. She is the
child of nnitire, and children n-c not 'ftylish.' The
niminy piminy, eye avoiding, linger tipped, drawling,
don't touch me lunnner cf some of thn fn.hinnuldu
ladies of our country, would amuse n cold ami re
served English wontnn sufficiently, hut thoy would
dtivo an Iiiihgir! into hysteric*. I Imve met one
of aur fair country people abroad, whore ‘Grecian
stoop,'and exquisitely subdued manner was Invur-
iubly taken for n fit ofindigestion.
