From tlio Hoog Kong (Chinese) Mail. lows iii China. Tim existence of a fragment of the 1 family of Abraham in the interior of ; China lias been certainly known for I upwards of two hundred years, and surmised much longer. The Jesuit ; Kieci, during Ins residence at Peking, in the beginning of the seventeenth century, was the means of exciting the attention of foreigners to the Jews of Kai-fung-fn, the ancient eapi- j l:d of Iff) -1 in 11 nrovinrn. In KilS ' they were visitcA by Aleni, a follower of Uicci; ami, a hundred yours later, between 1801 and 1732. fathers (ion/.ani, Domenge, and Cianbn were enabled, from personal investigation on (lie spot, to give minute dcscrip- ! tions of the people, their synagogue, i and sacred nooks, the latter of which I. few coufcf even then read, while (he j former was, with the peculiar institutions of m oses, fast falling to decay. Beyond a few feeble and ineffectual efforts, 011 the part of biblical critics, nothing was subsequently attempted lr? mnintiiin n rnminmiir.-itinn witli the handful of Jews, until in 1815, some brethren in London addressed a letter to them in Hebrew, and offered i a large reward if any 01. would! bring an answer in the same language. The letter was entrusted to a Chinese bookseller, a native of the province, who is reported to have delivered it, which is doubted, as lie brought no written answer. .Recently, the Jew's Society in Lon don, cncouragcd by the munificep.cn of Miss Cook, who placed ample funds at their disposal, instituted inquiries on the subject, and sought the co-operation of the bishop of Victoria, who having previously opened a correspondence with Dr. Mcdhurst mi tlin xnhinr.t. dnrmrr liis lr?rrl?l,itVu - /-; j ^ t-> | recent visit to Shanphae, the plan of j operations was agr il upon. This was to despatch two Chinese Chris- | tians, one of them a literary grailu-, ate, the other a young man with a j competent knowledge ol English, acquired at the Loudon Missionary School. The North China llerald, of the 18th January, contains an interesting account of their mission, from winch \vc gather the following particulars: The two emissaries started on the 15th November last, and after an ah?onnn nl fiTttr g\?wrc* ?mj in ly vmjO) it;uu IIWU llJ Shanghae, the distance between the 'two citicx being hIjuuL six (uiiidrcii miles.* Arrived at their destination, they found in the decayed city of Cai-fung-fu, both Mohamedans and Jews, the latter poverty-stricken and degraded, their synagogue in a state of dilapidation, and the distinguishing symbols of their religion nearly extinct. The books of the law, written ill ;i smnli snnnro. rhnrnHnr nn slioon akin, are, iiowevei, still pieserved, although it would seem for many years they have been seen by no one able to read them. The Jesuits mention the existence of the sacred books, but were not suffered to copy or even to inspect <i K..? <u? /M.:.? mum, uin uiu viiiuusi; ^111 idiiaii^ cil countered no such scruples, so that, besides taking copies of inscriptions onthestono tablets, they were enabled !o bring- away eight Hebrew ! manuscripts, six of them containing j portions of the Old Testament, ana ; two of the Hebrew liturgy. The cor respondent of (he North China Herald states that? 'The portions of Scripture are from the 1st to (he 7th chanters of Exodus, from the 38th to the 4th chapters of the same book, Leviticus 19th and 20th chapters, .Numbers 13to. 14th, and 15th chapters, with the23d chapter of that book. Various portions of the Pantateuch, Psalms, and Hagiographa occur in the books ofpravers, which have not yet been dennu 4iy fixed, The character in which these portions are written is in an antique form of the Hebrew, with pointst They are written on thick paper, evidently by menus of a style, and the material employed, as well as the silk in which the hooks were bound, exhibits marks of foreign origin. Two Israeliljsh gentlemen, to whom ilicy have been shown in Shanghae, say they have seen such books in Aden; and the occurrence here and - there of Persian words, written with Hebrew letters, in the notes appended, seem to indicate that the nooks in question came ori/r ina'/ly froj.i the western part of Asia, nerhaps from Persia Or Arabia.? .There is no trace whatever ol the Chinese character about them, awl they must have been manufactured entirely by foreigners residing in Chirm, or who nmy iiave come from a foreign country.

Imf /m n ioi'cq nv. 1 animation of the evidences of Chris-, tianity, lie found reason to change his opinion. W hen the celebrated l)r. Edmund Halley was talking infidelity before him, Sir Isaac said, ll)r.

On the name of Hume being men- j tioned to him, 'No, sir/ said he,; lume owned to a clergyman in 1 )ur i ham, that ho had never read the New Testament with attention.1 Lord Bacon, toward the close of his life, said that a smattering of philosophy would lead a man to Atheism?hut a thorough insight of it|\vill lead a man hack again to a first cause. He added, that lie durst not die with any other thought than those ol religion, taught as it is professed among christians. Infidels should never talk of our giving up Christianity until they can propose something superior to it.? Lord Chesterfield's answer to a fe male infidel was, therefore, very just. When at Brussels, he was invited by Voltaire to sun with him and with Madame C. The conversation hapn/mnrl In ?i??n n 4*4V% land.

He will always be sought for; his services will he in demand; he will be spoken ol in terms i a' i ' oi commendation; ne will always have a home; he will grow up to be a man of known worth and established character. He will be wanted. The merchant will want him for a salesman or a clerk; the master mechanic will want him for an apprentice or ?i journeyman; those with a job to let will want him for a contractor, clients will want him for a lawyer; patients for a physician; religious congrega-, tion, for a pastor; for a teacher For j their children; and tho people, for an officer. He will be wanted. Townsmen will want him as a citizen; acquaintances as a neighbor ; neighbors as a friend; families as a visitor; tin1, world as an accmaintance : nav crirla will want Siim as a beau, and finally for a husband. An honest,industrious boy ! Just think of it, boys, will you ever answer this description? Can you apply for this situation? Are you sure that you will be wanted? You mav bo smart and active but that does not fill the requisition?arc you honest ? You may be capable?are you industrious? You may be well dressed ami create a favorable impression at first si^ht?are you both "honest and industrious?" You may apply for a "good situation"?are you sure that your friends, teachers, acquaintances ran recommend you for these qualities? Oh, how would you feel, your r character not being thus established, 1 on hearing the words "can't employ ' you." Nothing else will make up 1 for the lack of" these qualities. No ' readiness or aptness will do it.

The extrememeonvonioncc arising from its present unwieldy si/.e, will : become apparent, when it is remem bered that the eastern and western borders are by far the most populous parts ol the J district, and that persons residing on either cf these must pass over twenty-five or t'lirty miles to reach the Court House. These difficulties and disadvantages are sti'l further heightened by the unfortunate location of the Court House, which being situated in the midst of a considerable extent of rough and barren country, is approached from no one point of the 1 )ist rict with ease or convenience. These, and manv other, disndvnn tages, arising from the same cause, by preventing persons at a distance from settling amongst us, and thus occupying, reclaiming and bringing into market the many thousand acres of tillable lands, which now lie waste and uncultivated around ns, prevent or delay the development of its resources! and greatly retard the prosperity of the Distncti while the A'hole State suffers a proportionate loss, Irom the langor and depression of one of its pi.i ts.
