Bayard Taylor, in one of his letters from ' Canton to the Vew] York Tribune, gives the following description of his first attempt to smoke opium: "In spite of the penalties attached to it by Chinese law, the smoking of opium is scarce* ly a concealed practice at present. I have seen it carried on in open shops in Shanghai, where there are some streets which are ncver free from the sickening smell. It had always been my intention to make a trial of the practice, in order to learn its effects by personal experience ; and being now on the eve 01 leaving (Jhina, Applied to * gentleman residing here to put me iu the way of enjoying a pipe or two. II j was wall acquainted with a Chiuara in who is addicted to tho practice, and by an agreement with him, took me to hie house 1 ist evening. We were ushered into a long room, with a divan or platform, nb ?ut three feet high at the further end. Several Chin ttnuu were iu the room, and one, stretched out on the platform, was preparing his plpo at a lamp ? The host invited me to stretch myftclf opposite to him, and place my head upon one of those cane head-stools which serve the Chinese in lieu of pillows. "The opium-pipn is a bamboo stick about two feet long, having a small drum inserted near the end, with an aperture in its centre. A piece of opium, about twice the size of a pin's head, is taken up on a slender wire nna neia in tno mine of the lamp until it boils or bubbles up, when it is rolled into a cylindrical shape on the drum, bv the nid of the wire. It loses its d irk color by the heating and becomes nod soft. Having been sufficiently rolled, it is placed over the aperture, andtho wire, after being thrust through its centre, to allow the air to pass info the pipe, is withdrawn. The pipe is then held to the flame, und ns the opium burns, its fumes are drawn into the lungs by u strong and long-continued inspiration. In about half a minute the portion is exhausted, and the smoker is ready for a second pipe"To mv surprise I found the taste of the drug us delicious ns it smell is disagreeable. It leaves a deep rich flavor, like the finest liquorice, upon tho palate, and the gentis stimulus it communicates to the blood in the luugs, fills the whole body with a sensation of warinth end strength. The ftimea of the opium are no more irritating to the windpipe or bronchial tube", than comtuqa air while they seem imbued with a richness of vitality fur beyond our diluted oxygen. I ha<l supposed that opium was smoked entirely for the purpose of mental exhilaration, and that to the smokers, an to many who in :<L ? ?.v ituini.im wiiu nniuiii spirna mere there Win no sensual gratification in the mere t-stc of the article. The reverse is undoubtedly the trnth, anil the practice, therefore is doubly dangerous. Its victim becomes hopelessly involved in its f.tscinn. ting sllusions, and ?n awful death, such na I witnessed not long since, is sure, sooner or Inter to overtake him who indulges lu excess. I have a pretty strong confidence in nty own power of resistance, but nothing could inducu ine to make the experiment n second time. * Beyond the fooling of warmth, vigor and increased vitality; softened by a happy consciousness of repose, there was no effect, until after finishing the sixth pipe. My spirits then became joyously excited, with s constant disposition to laugh ; brilliant colors flouted before my eyes, but in a confused and clouded way, sometimes converging into spots like the eyes In s peacock's tail, but oftenest malting into and through each other, like the hues of changeable ailk.? 1 Isd the physical excitement Wen greater, fKaaar MrmiM I*o??? laftrAM f I- ? a ? ? ? mvj " vwi^ iimv HiHVII IUIII1 iiu u suimiuiuv, hat after smoking nine pipes I desisted, through fear of subjecting myself to some unpleasant after-effect. Our Chinese host informed toe that he wits obliged to take twenty pipes, in order to elevate his mind to the pitch of perfect happiness. I went home feeling rather giddy, and became so drowsy, with slight qualms of the stomach, that I went to bed at an early hour, I had made an arrangement to walk around the walks of Canton this morning, with Mr. Benbey, and felt soma doubt as to whether I should be able to undertake it; after a deep and refreshing steep, I arose at son rise feeling stronger and brighter than I h d done for weeks put" Hisf. is tub Pbicb or English Newsmrsss,?In consequence of the grent rise in the price of paper in England, seriously di uluisbing if not altogether destroying the proitta of some of the provincial journals, BAdiS A# I It ss MB-ls !? *? -1- - J ' -r. ?wv juiMiKM* IMVIV IMTO IWUITCU IU increase their rates of safe and nubttcrijxion In Glasgow idovmmM in now going on to rdN ths print of nil the papain two cents on copy.

'I he deceased hsAbfsn a sufferer from a rsry early period dWis life. He had long felt the pongs of suffering and uffliction, and when death came he was not unprepared for it. He met death with calmness and ootuposure, nnd in a spirit of resignation ; and his mind was clear and unclouded to the last. He spoke rationally nnd physiologirally about his disease in its progress to its fatal termination, and when upon frim he described the throes to his friends, nnd the feelings which he experienced in passing from this stage of action, nnd continued to do so until s few moments before life was extinct.

As far as his limited means would permit, he most industriously and pt-rsevcringly wsnlto work to ncquire an education; and that he might be instructed by the best teachers, he incurred voluntarily, the expense of hoarding and tuition from home. After having finished his academical studies, he commenced the study of medicine with his brother, Dr. Robert McDow, and was most industriously and closely engaged in its study, when he was last placed upon the bed of affliction. The deceased was remarkable for morality and virtue?he w as strong and decided in his attachments, and guiille- , manly in hit whole deportment. 'Temperance, us a principle, was reecqfni?bil and practices by him, and suffering humanity found a ready friend in him. lie Was a member of the temperance association at the time of hU death.

Dear Sir:?I send yon this to certify to ou that your Extract of Yellow-Dock and area pa rill a has performed one of the most ronderful cures on n?e that has ever been cffctcd on man. I have been afflicted for forty years with ruptions or, my legs and feet; in 1818 they ?t so bad that I had to go on crutches, nd in 1849 1 had one leg amputated above io knee. In about nine months after my ther leg broke out in large dating and runing sores from my knee to my foot, and ischarged a great deal of offensive matter, ly groin also broke out in large biles which ischarged mueh offensive matter, and at le same time my left hand broke out in irgc running sores nearly to my elbow. The misery that 1 have suffered for the ist two years, 1 cannot describe to you. I as in such agony that I never rested day r night. In October last my son biought mc one f your bo die wrappers; I read it, and found cord of some wonderful cures performed y your 'Extract of Ycllow-Doek nnd Sar:i pari I la,' I sent and got two bottles of it. nd commenced taking it. In two w ccks to iy great astonishment, my so.es all became nay, and I could sleep all night, a thing I ad not done for two years. When I had tkeu six bottles, my sores were nearly all euled, Mysoyes got well as if by enchantlent. I have now used in all, eight bottles f your "Extract of Yellow-Dock and Sarun.l I RAU* unnwidnr m\*m?lf* wi.ll I entreat nil of the afflicted to try this ledicine for I believe it will cure nny known sense in the world. Iwiy aside nil prejniee nnd just try it, nnd proclaim its great orth to suffering mankind and eutrcat them 0 take it, for it will cure them. My case is well known in n large portion f South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, nd if any should doubt the above cure, I inite them to call on nie.nnd I will show them te *c?rs.
