United States -- Description and travel; Voyages and travels
On Monday, the day being delightful, they were accompanied on board the
Candace, and as far out as Sandy Hook, by the officers of the American
Seamen's Friend Society, and other friends. Some of the owners of the
bark, who have generously given the chaplain his passage, were also on
board.
Before parting, the captain, officers and crew, with the brother beloved
who has gone as a chaplain to that distant port, were commended to the
care of Him who controls the winds and the waves.
When last seen, with all sails set, they were bounding over the waves
towards China.
Arrest of a Celestial

ARREST OF A CELESTIAL.--Lin King Chew was arrested, charged with
stealing a quantity of daguerreotype plates belonging to Peter N.
Horsely. We trust there must be some mistake here, when compared with
the very pleasing notice we read of the same party in Wednesday’s N.Y.
Express.

LING KENG CHOW.--The Chinaman, who came over as a teacher to Rev. Dr.
Cummings, missionary, was arrested, two or three weeks since, on a
charge of stealing some Daguerreotype apparatus. It is said, however,
with how much truth we know not that the accused bartered some things of
Chinese manufacture for the articles in question, which were found in
his trunk. The alleged owner of the Daguerreotype apparatus now admits,
it is said, having received the Chinese things but contends that they
were presents. It is to be hoped that at the trial, which for some cause
was postponed on Saturday, the Court will see that the stranger in a
strange land has justice done to him, and if it should appear that he
obtained the apparatus by barter, even though he may possibly have got
the best of the bargain, that his rights will be protected and amends
made to him for the accusation and imprisonment. We put this
hypothetically, of course, being unacquainted with the whole
particulars. [Com. Adv.
