Indeed, said Mr. V., in China, which is the antipodes of the west- i r:i hemisphere, every thing musi be reversed.

Love for parents is the sliong's' sent ment in th" breast of a Chinese. No ohjange cf domcspo tics nfr ets it, nnd death lot elevates it into n religions rite and veneration. It holds the same place in China as with us does affection for a wife. And in China will every son, even as did .Eneas, " from the (lames of Troy The old Atichisps bear," convey his father from bnotootBJtd overwhelming perl to winch his wife and children will he abandoned. The halls of the rich are always ad rned with hVures of their ancestors, and in their temples the worship of deceased forefathers is a prominent and favorite devotion. Some one or two days of every season are net apart to visit their ancestral tombs, boill upon the sides of the lulls. They go in families and otter sacrifices and strew flowers over their graves. When these riles are ended they partake of a family feast, seated in enclosures around the tombs ; cover" the tables with p;eces of colored paper, which represent various fruits and viands, and which are burned, to carry upward food for their dec. aoed ancestors. And then on retiring from these sacred resorts, liule Hhjts of colored paper are put up in various sp ds.aml the whole hill-side M covered with them. The mejing. though often carried to excess, is certainly commendable. We arrived al Macao in February J and all that month, March, April, and May, we spent in studying Ihe lariiruairo ami watting i itelligenee from Keying, Who was lo meet us. At Inst we received a letter from him, l-'KH) miles to the West, saying that he was on his way ami would he there in Ju t minutes. We w aited as patiently as possible, in a city without n eiety, walks, drives, or anything in the slightest degree amusing ; and his five minutes proved to be, according to our division of tine, (troMp e.v. At last In reached Canton, and finally a messenger announced tint ,.. V;,S Ifoono, and hid taken up his lodg- o clock precisely of the next hy. Yin CfitneOB are very particular in all matters of etiquette. Their visiting cards, which no Chinese jreiitlemnn can bi without, instead of being such small bits of pasteboard as are used bv us, are large sheets of pajs-r, colored, figured, and einhossod. The Chinese always use en-vi Iojh s w hich vary in aiio from a pillow case to a purse ; alw ays employ sealing wax ; and inscribe upon the out side of their letters the names of both writer nnd person addressed. The two are placed, with their titles, in parallel columns, running from bottom to top; and the rank of the person corresponds with the length of space occupied by his name. Keying's name, with his numerous titles, easily filled the column; Mr. Cushing's, lacking I In t.ths, was made equal to Keying' s by being written in h tters of enormous " J J a .... , , , b iigth, large enough, in fact, lor a giudehoard At thirty minutes before Ihe t in - appointed nppear-eil a messenger with the Minister's card, ami at the hour announced by a second messenger, Keying him selfappeared with his suite. Of tin s" WlaOJ', LnBBs teiinnl (ioyernor of the two Kwang provinces, was 1 the moat distinsruished ; and Without any ex.igerntiou or quatitiealmn, ilr. ehster saul tie was a geuueman high, stone step, as we approac neu, a m siim up, the unvarying salute of three guns was tired, and we were led through the courts to an inner building where our Minister wa received by keymg. After i some conversation we were ushered in to dinner; and j here Mr. Webster aid that, as the Chinese festival were sitmlir to each other, he would describe the last one of whieh they partook, after the treaty had been concluded and on occasion of it signature, on the ;td ! of Jtllv I'll ! Eight copies of the treaty had to he prepared, four inerurh languaifp, and though the A mericins exercised their utmost diligence, the ( Inn.-se had theirs done first Tie v then proeoeded to tie- place of meeting. Thr ; room was small, twenty mm uy icn, wiinom winnows nations, in his shirt sleeves ! The table was set for twenty, and covered with baiHinnas, mangoes, orouges nnd other fruits, sweetmeats, Ac. Ac. A hot drink, like poor whiskey, called snmchoiit was prepared, each having a small teapot cimtuiniug it by his sinV. Wc were requited to till a small cup with- it, riiise the cup in brith hand,;, half rise, and t the friend whom we wished to compliment and then empty the cup, taking care to turn the inside U.wurds h'uu tint he might be assured it was empty. This djne, according to the custom, we were helped to fruits. Keying- with lit) own chop-stick, seized a tig and put It Upon the Minister's plate. This order oyer, a pudding was introduced expn H-dy invented for the occasion by Keying himself It was excellent and spoke volumes for the gajtronomlo talents of the high Commissioner. After this was oyer, two dishes of meat were brought on hy attendants, who were very numerous nnd very well drilled, keying again helped our Minister to a dish of ohioken and pork, like a stew; and the dish waa then passed around to tl ther guests. Then fUps of MaBCftOB Were taken. The dishes were then act in the centre of tbe t ible ; tin- snne process WOB rapidly repe iled unl I hundred dishes, hi silver Vessels, filled the table from .me end to the other. Various side dishes were introduced, as we use bread, among which were lulus, Watermelon seeds. Ac.

Fish fins, sea-weed, hogs' mouth;, Ac. Ac., would certain, h be thought no great addition to our festive boards. They ure cosily, however, and can only be ntl'-rded by the rich. The custom of taking up morsels and thrusl-ing them into the mouths of tfaeir friends, wh ch pre-vails at the Chinese tables, reminds one forcibly of the adJuratioci of Meg M rrilies to Dominie onpoon1 m (ia', sinner, nnd nwallow !" After a pause, there appealed crossing tle yard six cooks, each witn a silver dish and a joint ef meat. They were followed by ix attendants carrying blocks covered with cloth. These were set down behind the chairs, and then each Oook, drawing from his girdle a long sharp Knife, carved the meat into thin slices, Whieh were received on plates by the atU'iidants, and handed to the guesla. The meats thus served were turkeys, hjuno, pigs roasted whole nnd gild d, Ac. This is the Tartar addition to a regular Chinese din-not ami was not unwelcome, na it introduced us to meals cf which we had heard before. A large bowl of very nice soup was then brought in. Keying took it up with both hands, drank cut of it, and I hen passed it to the Minister ; and then it went the round of the whole table. Thua at dinner we spent the time from 1) to 1 o'clock, the whole order of a European dinner being exactly reversed, beginning with fruit and ending with soup. We rose from the t able, put on our conts, and took our leave. The band struck up, three guns were fired, and we returned to .Macao, to exclaim with Macbeth, that we had "supped full of horrors!" Mr. Webster went on to say that lie did not mean to ridicule the customs of the Chinese, it thnt on seeing them for the first time, tin v of course tsmttlH i to him ut all events far niofe'ib TRjh flUP'oWn, dBfl ftt) i likewise many of their habits were no more ridiculous i than ours. The Mandarins wore long robes of rich am! heavy pilk, embroidered with gold, and covered j by a splendid riding coat. A girdle passes round the waist, fastened with a buckle of proeioua stones, and long beets, whitened- reach the knees. Around the Been is a siring of beads, of stones in winter, and of perfumed wood in summer. A cap of straw or velvet 1 M worn, Wrtfl a button and feather, ami attached to tin; belt are suutl bottles, Ac of gold. A military Mandarin has besides a very lnrg;e ring, cut IVcSfl a single precious stone, upon his right thumb. The richest dresses are worn by players on the stage. The Chinese actors an- always itinerant and nre hired by private persons, or by several who contribute to raise a fund for the purwise. They have no changing of scenes, and every thing is very rude nnd to us un interesting. And yet they had played at M lean three liys and nights without mtermitision, many person standing W hours to look on, receiving refreshments from persoui who have them to sell. No women np- (s-ar, and nil speak in falsetto. Mr. Webster gave some account of their dramas which seem to be historical, abounding in exaggerations and nhfiirdilies, ind of their comedies which are vulgar and disgusting. Tiny hive an extensive literature ; their poetry a-b umils in tropes and figures nnd is sometimes touching and beautiful. They have writings of a higher character, as the works of Confucius, which are aiming the nobteat Bsjcianens of moral teaching ever wriiien. The art of printing was known in China long before j it wns discovered in the Western world; books are ! very cheap and universally diffused ; the compass j was used, manufactii res of va rious kinds carried ou . canals made, ami in short all mechanical powers, ex j cept steam, were known in China long before lliey were invented in the West. Paper intuit had been used ;md discarded long before it was iiutde by the Jews, and now the only coin employed in the immense trade of tie- Empire is a copper coin worth about one tenth ol a cent. Mr. Webster concluded his lecture by referring to the patriarchal character ol' the Chinese government, which is entirely primitive and such ns obtained in the i earliest ages oi me worm, and which lor its preserva-. turn, requires a homogeneous pcoph-, an early origin j and an unbroken history : and to the character of ' their language, whieh is hyeroglyphieal, as evidence of the extreme antiquity of the Chinese nation. Thev claim to have unbroken traditions running back ! years before Christ, or wilhin I'JlfO years of thecn-a-! tion of the world ; anil Mr. W. thought it not at all ' unlikely thnt at thnt time they may have had a n gu- lnr government, a monarch, a large population, and I institutions very much ss we find them now. The lecture was listened to with great attention, I nnd was written with a good deal of elegance, enter-i ing al length into the details of the variou topics dis-cussed Both lectures have been very well attended nnd heard with gn at satistuclKtn.
