S C R A P I A N A. CHRISTIANITY 1N CHINA.——A native of China now at

Rome, furnishes the following statistical details to the Franconian Courier:—“ There are, at present, about 300,000 Christians in China. The greater part of them are indebted for pastoral care to the Lazarists, but some likewise to the Dominicans and the Franciscans, and to a small number of Italian priests. The whole number of priests, European and Chinese, does not ex- ceed 300. Of seminaries there are but few, and those few are little more than common schools. The Chris- tians are not allowed to practice their religion publicly, ’ but with their private assemblies no interference will take place. The churches are but few in number, and those not capacious enough for their several con- gregations, and the ,faithful are obliged to meet private- ly.

SMALLES'I‘ SEA STEAMER IN THE Wand—Malta, March 20,—The Peninsular and Oriental Company’s iron steam-packet Lotus, (John Moody, Commander,) l is wdrthy of particular notice. She is only 34 tons’ burden, and 24 horse power. She draws only two feet of water. She was built by Messrs. Dilcliburn and Mare, London; the engines are by John Penn and Son,Greenwich. The engines and boilers of the Lotus are'bf very superior construction, having oscillating cylinders, well-known and valued for the exceeding sniall'_space which they occupy, as well as their light- ness, simplicity, and elegance. Indeed, the whole con- strttction of this steamer is a miracle of art and mechani- cal shill. lThe Lotus is, perhaps, the smallest steamer

IMPORTANT RESULTS or INnusrnv.—-Two hundred years ago the Isle of Axholrne was one of the most re- markable places in England. It is not an island In _the sea. . It is a part of Lincolnshire—a piece .ofland hilly in the middle and surrounded by rivers. The Trent runs on the east“ sjdgggfwigy , - form'srly flowed rOuiid the rest of .it, joming the Hum- ber to the north. These rivers carried down a great deal of mud with them to the Humber, and the tides of the Humber washed up a great deal of sea sand Into the mouths of the rivers; so that the waters could not for some time flow freely, and were at last prevented from flowing away at all; they sank into the ground and madea swamp of it—a swamp of many miles round

They pay very well, and though rather wild at first, a little skittish—and coquet- tish, too, like the ladies ofa different race—they be-

the hilly part of the isle' of Axholiiie. This swamp was long avery dismal place. Fish and water birds inhabited it; and here and there stood the .hut of‘a fowler or a peat stack raised by people who lived In the hills round, and who obtained their fuel from the peat lands in the swamp. There were also Spriiikled over the district a few very small houses—cells belong- ing to the Abbey of St. Mary at York . . . . . . Atlast aDutchman having seen what wonders were‘donein his own country by.good draining, thought he could render this district fit to be inhabited and cultivated, and he made a bargain with the King about.it. Alter spending much mone and ’taking great pains he suc- ceeded; He drew the waters off into new channels, and kept them there by sltiices, and carefully watching the embank‘ments he had raised. The land which was. left this manured and cultivated, till, instead of reedy and mossy swamp, there were fields of clover and of corn, and meadows of the finest grass, with cattle and sheep grazing in large numbers. The dwellings that were still standing were made into farm houses, and new farm-houses were built. A church here, and acliapel there, was cleaned, warmed, and painted, and opened for worship, and good roads crossed the district_ipto all the counties near.

I generally go out in the morning, before breakfast, and they always meet me at the gate of their pasture, expecting to have their heads scratched and be spoken to. One In par- ticular, a quaint, crumple-horned little lass, used to put her nose into my pocket, like, to feel for- bread and pota- toes, which I generally brought with me. Her breath was so sweet, and her eyes so placid, that I was almost even tempted to be of the humour of}l.e man who loved to kiss his cow. Now, there happened to be in this field .a swing, and my dear kind Kerry lass, who was inordinately curious, seeing the younger part ofmy family often swinging, thought (I suppose) she might take a swing too herself. Be this as it may, one .day, about noon, a constant and loud lowing of the cows was heard at the gate nearest the house; and my brother, who was within, hearing the unusual and continued noise, went out to see what was the matter. As soon as he came to the gate, he saw two of the dear Kerry cows very uneasy, but the third was not with them; so he proceeded into the grounds. As he went, the cows seemed anxiously following, still lowing, till he arrived at the furthest end of the land; when he saw my pet, the third pretty Kerry, entangled in the rope of'the swing, and caught by her head and horns, where she must have been soon strangled, if not relieved.”

EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENT AT SEA.—During the passage of the John Bull steam-ship from Hamburg to London lately, an accident of a most singular nature happened to a young man 'named Clark, an apprentice on band, who is nearly out ofliis time. Clark was sent into the main chains some hours after the vessel left Hamburg, for the purpose of heaving the lead. He was or the larboard side of the vessel, and had been for some time taking soundings,_ when he was suddenly misset by the mate, who was at the wheel, and who heard-t noise resembling that ofa man splashing his handsand feet in the water. The vessel was imme- diatte stopped and backed, astern, and the boat lo'w- ered, :nd the men who rowed it looked about for near- ly tweity mintites, but without being able to find him. The bat returned to the steamer, and was hoisted up, and tie vessel proceeded on her voyage, everybody suppoéng he was lost. Directly after some of the men went 3 the side of the vessel and hauled in the lead line, rid to their great surprise pulled up the body of Clark who had been for nearly 520 minutes in the wa- ter, supcnded by the line, which had made a complete bitchzot round his neck. Captain Corbin, the com- mandr of the ship, the mate, and all the hands that couldJe spared, lost no time in using eve‘ry means in their ower to save him. He was conveyed to the fore cabinstripped, and placed in a hot bath, water having beenrocured from the boilers for the purpose. Cap- tain hrbin and his mate applied the means recommen- ded b the Royal Humane Society for saving life, but it was long before the young man exhibited the least signsif animation. The captain and his men would not (hpair; they continued their exertions, and exact- ly on hour after the sufferer was taken out of the wa- ter, hbegan to Show some signs of. life. Stimulants were ten supplied, and he soon after became conscious of hisituation. His neck and throat were much swol- len, ad leeches were applied. The swelling was soon reduui by the application of the leeches, and by the time ie vessel reached London the young man ap- pears to be out of immediate danger. He is now doingwell. It appears that when he fell overboard his l’ltd was kept above water while the ship was movir, and he was dragged through, the sea wtth It; but wen the vessel stopped he sunk, and remained suspeled under water with the rope round his neck.
