CimiPSK DWTI.LINO HOUSES.-In Ibo article on cheap living, by Ur. Calle, published in tho Jour? nal liev Connaissances ?(fdirates, wo find Homo curious tacts concerning thc way in which Ibo Chinese have solved that difficult problem. They do not grow much wool, and aro, therefore, be? hind ns in Hist respect, but they replaco it with furs and stud's they mako of cotton, hemp, flax and various othor fibious roota. They bave a ?rod igious variety ol silks, whioh they adapt to bo different scaaona, and aro cbcap cnongh to bo within tho reach of tho moat needy. Tho cheap? ness of f'irs in China strikes Europeans with as? tonishment. Aa regarda dwellings, thoy uae stone, brick, wood or bamboo, according to tho provincos. It ia Imo, their housos liaro no leoo or upper story, hut their ground floors, built on an elevated pl?tlorin, aro vory convenient. Moat large bouses in China have a court, with a south? ern exposure for tho women of tho family, nod u gardon 10 tho r|orth. A town entirely bulli ou this BVstcm, with wido slrocts, enjoys a' much freer circulation of air (nan o-.tc towns, willi thoir lofty houses and -ation very narrow streets. Tn ere is s singular system of rent-paying in China, and which certainly does not appear to us tho most- profitable. Tho tenant, on taking pos? session of (he boase, pays tho proprietor a capital, Ibo interest of winch, at twelve per cent., is largo enough to cover tho rorit for three years.

'29th ult. Wo wore not pres? ent, aud nre indebted to others for tho iuformutiou which follows. Mal. John 1?. Mooro waa tho Ursl speaker intro? duced. Ho announced hhnsolf in fovjr o? tho Convention; declared tho interests nf both racos woro identical, and that it waa their (tatar to treal each othor kindly; told tho frcodiuon that their whito in-; :r li bo ru woro tholr best and onlv friends; denounced in strong tertnB all secret political so? cieties; admonished nil cir.we, to avoid n conflicl of races, and assured tho freedmen that nrraviog a black man's party against ibo v, bites would'prove disastrous lo them. Col. W. D. Wilkes nett addressed Hie audience in a lengthy speech, mainly directed to thc treed men, and entering fully into their history ana race aud introduction into ibis country, giving (hem praise for past behavior, hut especially during Ibu late ?ar. For thia mid other reasons, tho whites of tho South were not univ willing, but anxious to promote their welfare. Ho favored the State Con? vention, and declnrod that, wbilo some good sol? diers wera opposed tu it, ho knew that the great? est opposition cunio fruin men who woro in soft pincus during tho lalo wai. Hon. J. ?S. Murray was then introduced, and in nu abbi manner explained thc objeot of goveni inont, and demonstrated the uoccssity fur a stable ?tovcrttnicnt nt thia time. He then'garo a brief listore of thu introduction of slivery, and nf the contests to which it lcd. - Having remarked thal all were citizens uf a uouiinun country, that (iud had cast our lot together, and that wo must livo togothor either an Iricuds ol' enemies ; bc thou warned the colored poop lo against em.?sui ins from tho North-whose motives wero Hellish, ann whose designs urn destructive of their best Interests'. Hu also urged them not to identify themselves with any party, abarred that Ibo Republican party deus no ina ted in tm or of white labor, by heavily taxing cotton, which was unjust mid expressive. Tho speaker explained thou- civil ana political rights, aud ''""ls red that wbon tl IOHO wore nee tired to them, their do-tiny would bo in their own bauds, and that, with industry, economy, educa? tion ami moderation, a bright career wau before them, but lr they recklessly made tho white man mi eucmy, und brought about a oontliet ul' races, their destruction waa cortatn. Hon. J. L. Ocr aaa thou introduced, and ad? dressing thu whiles, advised them to' register ami vote for u Cunvcutiun, as it was folly and mad? ness to attempt lo defeat that object. There wero Ul,(KM neg i o voters, against 80,1)00 while, mid us thu Convention would look to tho interest of thu black man, it could not be expected that ono of them would vote against it. Hu then admonished Ibo freedmen that they must bo in lustrums und anvo their money, and reminded them thal if they attempt oppression of the whites now while In tho majority, it might bo Visited upon thom in tho fu? ture, wbon the balauco of power would bo ?huer? ont, as no moro negroes worn to bo brought to this country. Ho disabused their minds of tho idea that tboy would obtain landa from tho Clov truuicut, snuiobotrod Ibut thia was not oven de? sirable upon their part. Thc Governor presented overy phase of thu issues betoro tho people with groat loren and ability, and to tba satisfaction of , his hearers. Wo regret that fuller notes of btu speech aro not at our command. Thu regularly invited speakers having condini- ' ed, it wau requested that J. r. M.

Thal i gentleman modo u short apce'ch, endorsing, for tho most part, tho speech of Uovcruor Urr, but advised thc blacks to adhere to thu ltopnblicai. Early, and rocommondad to them tho Union cague. Ho favored high taxes upon land, but told thu negroes they wore to bovo ito lauds givon to them. Ho admonished thom against a eoiitlict of races, declaring that they would find U'J.COO.OOO whites against 4.000,000 ot' blacks, and that thu conflict would be abort, and result in their eal mal? ua Uun, Wilson Cook, of Orocnvillo, aud Illus Canadv, of this village, both freedmen, alan made speeches. We learn thal Cook told the uogroes they were to have nu landa given to them, and that confiscation' would work to the dtitrimenl of their race, lt would lie the moans of iiiaiiguratiiii; a ivar of races, mid, in that event, ho would not live in Ibo State, though ho waa given a thousand ocrea ol land. From all thal we can leam, tho speakers in? dulged in plain talk, without exception. Indeed, weare assured that (hu diSciiBsiou waa of thai character to allow no room for doubt as to the opinions of both while and colored, and wo trust thal tho impressions made will be deep and last? ing, especially in regard to tho result of those extreme measures referred tn by uv,'ry tutu of the speakers. _ I'll..ll AN ARTICLE BY Lomal, ft, Axcor. in the lint, ??.??nil, ni, WC ipiotc the following : 'The min? ute bo begun to read the famous Pickwick Trial, F found DlCKXNs, and heartily enjoy ed et erv Word.
