Nothing could have been more auspicious, a-- iudiciiting’at once the success and utility of the Atlantic Telegraph, than the first Lus- tncss di .-paUh >ent e ver it. announcing that pouce had been made with China; that (lie hostilities which had been for the last couple of years waged by the natives of France and England against that old mystic Asiatic cm- piro had ceased; and that the hoary ramparts of prejudice and cxclosivism had received an other mighty shock, from which they were tottering to their very base, if, indeed, they Iku! not already fallen. It was a providcu- tial inauguration of tlie wonderful highway of intelligence that lias been stretched from continent to continent. It was a wonderful verification ol the motto so often applied to it —“(.lory to God in the highest atid on earth peace and good will toxvard men.” A\ itli our imperfect knowledge of the actual tel ins of the treaty made with China, and of 1“®'internal trade which, as a consequence ot that treaty, will be opened up to-us in com mon with all the other commercial nations of the world, xve can have at this day hut a gen eral conception of the full importance ot the despatch which announced tlie establishment of peace. . it will be exactly sixteen years to morrow since what is usually denominated the opium war was brought io a close by the signing—on the 29th of August, 1842—of the treaty on board the Cornwallis by the repre sentatives of Great Britain and China. By tho terms of that treaty five ports were thrown open to foreign commerce, at which consular officers of the various governments were to reside, and the import and export trade was to be established on regular and just princi ples. Three years subsequently—on the 31st of December, 1843—the ratifications of a treaty between China and tho United States were exchanged, by which our citizens were enti tled to the same commercial and other privile ges, extended, or to be extended, to the sub jects of tho most favored nations, aud by which also leave was granted for the erection of hos pitals, chapels and cemeteries at the five ports, and for our ships of war to visit any part of the coast. These privileges, however, arc now considerably extended by the new treaty en tered into with Chinn by the representatives of Franco and England, in the benefits cf which wc, of course, participate. The last news which wo lmd received from Chinn previously to this telegraphic despatch, was that whereby we learned that the forts of Tu-Ku, at the mouth of the I’ei-IIo river, hail been captured by the naval forces of France and England, in the presence of the represen tatives of Russia and tho United States. That cveut took place on the 20th of May, and it was presumed that the advantages thus gained would be pushed until the large commercial city of Ticn-sin, some sixty miles up the river, and containing three hundred thousand in habitants, would be occupied by the allied troops, and until the foreign ambassadors were properly received at the imperial capi tal of Peking. By our last tiles of English papers we learn that no opposition was made to the advance of the forces to Tien-sin ; that Lord Elgin and Baron Gros, the English and French Plenipotentiaries, took up their quar ters in the vicinity of the city on the 29th of May, in a residence prepared for them by the Mandarins ; that Mr. Reed and Count Putin- tin, the American and Russian Plenipotentia ries, gained the same point next day, and that negotiations had been opened, and were sup posed to he progressing favorably. The com plement to this intelligence is that which was Hashed over the Atlantic cable on Wednes day, informing us lhat peace had been con cluded—that England mid France had obtain ed all their demands including the establish ment of embassies at Pekin and indemnifica tion for the expenses of the war. Further particulars are contained in a London des patch of yesterday, published under our tele graphic head, and which appeared in yester day afternoon’s edition of the Herald, by which wc are informed that the Chinese em pire is open to the trade of all foreign Powers, that the Christian religion is allowed in all parts of the country, and that foreign diplo matic agents are admitted. Although the United States cannot be said to havo ua<l any hand in the obtaining of these concessions, wc will nevertheless he the fore most in deriving advantages from them. The ramparts of Chinese exclusiveness being thus demolished, the whole political, commercial and social life of China will soon he exposed to view, to be operated upon by all the Pow ers of an enlightened and active civilization. Pekin itself, that stronghold of Oriental prej udice and semi-barbarism, will have its gates thrown open to the world for the first time in tho long centuries of its existence, and will have the inner life of its three or four millions of inhabitants displayed before the eyes of observant foreigners. What a field will be thus presented for the operations of the jour nalist, tho artist, the merchant, the statesman, the missionary and the incchauic, and what a vast amount of knowledge will be added to the literary storehouse of the world! It is not by the small figures of our present trade with China that we can estimate the im portance of that clause of the treaty by which we learn that the Chinese Empire is open to the trade of all foreign Powers. The whole foreign commerce of China did not exceed in 1853 one hundred and twenty millions of dol lars. Its commerce with the United States was not more than one-tenth of the whole. In other words, wc exported to China in 185b goods and specie to the amount of $2,558,23/, and imported therefrom tea and silk to the amount of $10,45-1,430. But when we are told that the tonnage of China used in the nav igation of its rivers and canals is larger than the aggregate tonnage of all the other nations of the earth; that there arc no less than ten thousand imperial barges engaged in collec ting and carrying to Pekin the duties in kind imposed on tho single article of grain; that an equal number of barges is employed in collectin'! the duties on salt; that the annual revenue of her government amounts tosomc$120,009,000; that there are over four thousand walled cities and towns in the empire, many of them rival ling Pekin in size and population; that tlieic is not a creek or haven on which there does not stand a town of commercial importance; that its great river, Yang-tze-kiang, opens up the tradoof a hundred millions of people, and that in industry and enterprise these Celes tials are not excelled even by ourselves, we may then form some idea of the immensity, of the trade that may he established and main tained with this swarming hive of humanity- One of the most satisfactory characteristics of this immense market for Yankee notions, from steamboats down to pins and needles, which will he opened among the Chinese, is the fact that it creates a mutual exchange ot products, and puts a stop to that immense drain of silver for China which has so long disturbed the exchanges of the world- Ifwe look forward still further, to the tuna when her rivers and canals will be navigated by steam ; when from West to East the loco- motive will traverse her extent of country, bringing to her harbors on the eastern and southern coasts the products of her three or four hundred millions of inhabitants; when Pekin and Canton, and Nankin and Amoy, and her other great centres of commerce, will he connected by cleetric telegraph with Lon- don and San Francisco, tbfen indeed wc may begin to realize the magnitude of tins first piece of new* transmitted over the. little v.-no that stretches from Valentin t-> Trinity Bay.

You will lie surprised and perhaps incredu lous. when I iay I have seen the head of Oli ver Cromwell—not the mere skull, but the head entire, and in a state of remarkable pre servation. Its history is authentic, and there is verbal and historical evidence to place the thing beyond cavil. Cromwell died at Hamp den Court, in 1(158, giving the strongest evi dence of his earnest religious convictions, and of his sincerity as a Christian. After an im posing funeral pageant, the body having been embalmed, lie was buried in Westminster Ab bey. On th“ restoration of the Stuarts, he was taken up and hung in Tyburn. After his head was cut off, a pike driven up through the neck and skull, and exposed on Westmin ster Hall. It remained there a long while, until, by some violence, the pike was broken and the head thrown down. It was picked up by a soldier and concealed, and afterward conveyed to some friend, who kept it careful ly for years. Through a succession of families, which can easily be traced, it has come into the possession of the daughter of Hon. Mr. Wilkinson, cx-incinbcr of Parliament from Buckingham and Bromley. It was at the res idence of this gentleman that I saw the head, anil his daughter, a lady of fine manners and great culture, exhibited it to the Rev. Mr. Yer- rell, the pastor of the Bromley Dissenting Chapel, and uiyself. This head of Cromwell is almost entire. The flesh is black and sunken, hut the features are nearly perfect, the hair still remaining, and even the large wart over one of the eyes— such being a distinctive mark on his face—is yet perfectly visible. The pike which was thrust through the neck still remains, the up per part of iron, nearly rusted off, and the lower wooden portion in splinters, showing that it was broken by some act of violence. It is known historically that Cromwell was embalmed, and no person thus cared for was ever publicly gibbetted, except this illustri ous man. In addition to the most authentic records concerning the head possessed by the family, and which I have found sustained by historical works, and even an old manuscript in the British Museum, Mr. Flanman, the dis. tiuguished 5-cIuptor, once gave it as his opin ion that this was none other than the head of Oliver Cromwell. Y’et its existence seems al most unknown in England, and only a few years ago a discussion in some of the public journals, which I have seen, alternately de ified and advocated it. Such a rumor was in circulation, and as no one had then seen the head, it having been kept concealed, none could speak by authority. Recently the mo tive for concealment has passed away, and permission to see it was carefully granted. It is a curious keepsake for a lady, but it is care fully preserved under lock and key in a box of great antiquity, wrapped in a number, of costly envelopes, and when it is raised from its hiding place and held in one’s hand, what a world of thought i* suggested. Tlie Court of “Poker.” A suit was recently brought before a justice of peace in Yuba county, California, for the recovery of seventeen dollars, which a man had won of another, or rather got possession of by “bluffing,” while he had four Jacks. The Marysville Inquirer says Court “let herself” loose on the question ; aud held that where a party coollyfjatul deliberately “bluffed” the bolder of a small winning hand out of his mo ney, it might well be considered downright robbery, and he punished as such ; hut the Court stated that while it w*>uld punish the party who would be guilty of such “bluffing” it had no protection or mercy for the man who. like tlie plaintiff in the case, permitted himself to be “bluffed” with four in his hand ! Such a man, in the opinion of the Court, should not only lose his seventeen dollars “pot,” but re ceive the jeers of every good poker player in Yuba county. Tlie Alligalor Trade. In our perambulation on the outskirts of the city, a few days since, we came across au alligator hunter, who was growing rich from tlie profits of his singular business. He came to this city, like thousands of others, in the belief that money could be made in almost endless profusion with very little ef fort, and wearied with disappointment, and just on the point of coming under the eye of the police as dangerous or suspicious, being without a visible means of living, he wandered into the suburbs, then into the swamps in the rear of Jefferson City and neigborliood, where he made his first acquaintance with the Louisi ana alligator. His bump of speculation was at once excit ed. Such a creature was of some utility; his hide, his oil, his tusks, perhaps his bones, might find purchasers. So borrowing from a man who occupied a hut in the neighborhood, a gun and some ammunition, he declared war upon the aligators. He dried their hides, he extracted their oil, lie took out their teeth, and sure .enough they proved to he merchantable articles. Commencing in May last, he bail, up to last Sunday, killed 400 alligators. Having gain ed experience by practice, he now hunts at night and carrying a pan of fire. Attracted by this unusual light, they come up close to him, when he finds no difficulty in bringing a monster down at every shot. The skins of these alligators tire readily sold at soveuty-fivc cents apiece. They are man ufactured into water-proof hoots, and the most valuable and expensive -shoes to be found in our market are made from tanned alligator’s hides. The oil, tusks and hides of these 400 alligators have produced in the hands of our new hunter acquaintance $5G0, besides paying his current expenses. This enterprising original is now looking out for a suitable location for investment of his gains in real estate, content that the vicinity of New Orleans has au abundance of the raw material which forms his staple of trade.— AVtc Orleans Picayune. Experimental Steam Ship. A steamship of a novel construction lias ar rived at Hartlepool from Greenwich, where it has been built by Messrs. Joyce, to test the utility of an ingenious contrivance of detach ing portions of the vessel aud leaving entire cargoes at an}’ port on the route. The vessel, which is about 90 feet in length and very nar row in the beam, is built of iron, and consists of three separate moveable compartments, which fit together in sockets and are fastened by strong iron stays. Tho foremost section is oc cupied by the crew, the middle compartment contains the entire cargo,. and the aftermost part the engiues. It is said that the central section can he disconnected from the other two in a few minutes, and an empty hold sub stituted in its place, so that the vessel can pro ceed on its course either with a fresh cargo or in quest of one. The steamer is now loading with coal for the London market, and will take in between 30 and 40 tons. If the exper iment should answer, a vessel of 2000 tons burden is to he forthwith constructed ou the same principle. The Jersey people have invented something —a harness. The ordinary saddle is dispen sed with, also the whiflletree and breeching. The wagon is controlled by two friction rollers fastened at the end of the shaft bars. Tlie shafts are held and controlled by the terrots nt the hanies. The horse can be di tached from the carriage in a moment, by means ot two spring hooks, arranged at the forward end tif the trace, times. Honors lo c\-President Pierce.

What Has Changed you so T—We have all wit nessed with astonishment the extraordinary and im proved cbabge' in many a gentleman and lady, who had become prematurely gray, hut who, by some means, had been miraculously rejuvenated. There is a time in life when gray hairs seem to harmonize with the furrowed brow aud the wrinkled features, but unfortunately, from some cause or other, thou sands of young men and women not only witness the gradual change ot their locks to a “ mottled anil speckled gray,” but are mortified by the danger of positive baldnes* from tho actual loss of their hair. AU this demands a remedy, and a safe one. We nat urally look about, and ask, in this age of scientific invention wiio stands highest as the Proprietor and Manufacturer ot a real hair restorer—a restorer of color as well as health, a beautificr as well as Sj hair tonic.

Whether caused by dissipation or otherwise, will receive not only prompt and efficient aid but a radi cal cure, from tbo n*e of Risley’s Compound Fluid Extract of Bucliu, a remedy whose action is exerted upon tlie Urinary aud Uteriue Organs. These are forms of Sexual Debility that are often times very serious, distressing aud intractable, and wbicli can only be relieved by the exercise of no little caro and a judicious selection of reme dial agents and a perseverance in their use. The above mentioned preparation, if regularly taken, conjoined with regular and moderate exercise in the open air, avoiding all habits of a i-eloxing nature, and last but not least, cold bathing, will not tail in bnng- in ( ’ about a cure no matter how stubborn or intract able tlie case may be. As a reliable remedy it stands very far in advance of all other preparations and if taken properly will not fail to cure. Abundance ot testimony of its remedial efficacy in this disease could be brought before the public eye, was it proper to do so. The invalid may have every eouttdeiiee in it for it has been tested in a multitude ot instances, anil always with the happiest results and too. in many instances where its use was commenced with out the slightest particle of faith which of itself is not unfreqnently sufficient to cause failure.
