Among the ancients it was usual to represent, in the decore tion and enrichment of their temples and public balldings, the herole achievements of remote ages. There is sufficient proof of this in almost all the ancient sexlpture that had reached our time. Dispeling, then, the claim of these marbles to so remote an antiquity,—I will now endeavour to re- concile my speculations of their being of a more recent date with certain contemporary historical cired stances, and with events which they may suppose to illustrate

It was impossible, therefore, even had the murders been committed on Bunday the 5th that the board could have looked as recently shaven" on 'Thare- day the 9th, the date of the first of the inquests, and the one upon which the Editor of the Ching Mail was a Jutor. On this, an open other malters squ arted wish these murders, ho is deceiving hipoelf; we trust he may notelerive othew, it being most desirable that whole truth be known.

We have on the fail's authority that "Mr Moir Surgeon of the Misure complains that his nine should have appeared in the Juquest on Mr Bellamy he not having been present" Auming this to be trug (it would have been more in form hd Mr Moir wade bis complaint publicly through the columns of the paper which published an in- Morrect repon, namely the China Mail) it only shews that Mr Elmalis was not very correct in drawing up these reports. Now, without casting any reflections upon Air Elmalis, such may be the case. An unusual duty was required of him under peculiarly painful circumstances. We believe that at the first Inquest-the one upon which the Edhor of the thing fail to Jator-the report was drawn up from notes taken on the occasion, an in- formality which at the time no one objected to Buietly speaking, there were no oroner's Inqu?te stell. Ana bingistrate, Ali Elmali- was required to investigate into the causes of death; but he is not Coronor and was not bound to sumino? a Jpty. If he dal this, either from respect to the wishes of others, or from a desire that others should sid him in such an important matter, we appreciate the motive. We believe the Inquests gave entire satisfaction in Canton; and if one or two querulous persons now object because they weren't consulted, we only my, the spirit is to be deplored.

In the political department of the Chinese Repo. eitary we do not pat much faith, a rule which we generally apply to all journals where temporalities are associated with spiritualities, we are however induced to take a pamage or two from the number for December, not in order to contrast them with previously expressed opinions, if they disagree with which, it only shows that the Editor is open to conviction, and of this no good or reachable man

Again the Repriory mys, No one supposed that the Chinese could be guilty of soch a savage, barbarity, and it was only the fool deed itself und the mangled bodies of the victims brought back suc ceraively from the scroes of massere, that has made us fully sensible of the awful wickedness and depre vity that here exist"

The occurrences which have recently taken place at Canton deserve the most serious consideration; and the argotiation pending between the British Envoy, who is in the best position to know the truth, and the Chiness Commissioner are to be viewed with An unbiased spirit, it being difficult to form an opinion until they are concluded On hearing of the Hwang chu ker murders the Editor of the Mail at once proceeded to Canton having been favoured During his with a passage in 11.

Tau above circular adminous of coming events, and will be far from gratifying to our friends in Canton, though at the same time it will enable them to prepare, in some degree, for stundoning the Factories at no disant day. As such it is no doubt intended, though, it is to bethoped that should the Consulate be withdrawn, due and more formel notice will be given. To strike the fug stones and Lake away the red national protection, leaving foreigners to the tender mercies of the Chinese, is an act which we cannot smticipate.

in Chinese official letter.

These papers deserve no credit; they rather und to strengthen the very gefloral supression that the men were taken out of jail; and may be brought forward as blind to the foreign community. There publication bowaver indpers us to give sa extract from a letter dated Canton 29th December, which has been for a week before us; and though we are not quite satisfied that deception was pranused in the matter, we know that our correspondent would not write what he did not firmly believe to be true,

"I have it from very good authority that the four men executed near Hwang chu-kes had nothing whatever to do with the murders. They would havo been beheaded the same day at the execution ground at Canton for another offence, if not required for this ocession. It appears they were taken from prison two or three night before to Keying's house in chairs and by steakh so as not ti be observed and to avoid enquiry and remark ou the part of the popu Ice. They were there promised by Keying free pardon, if they would go along with his Soldier, c., in a boat and point out the other parties impli cated in the crime for which they were coodemned to suffer. 'I bey consented and were shaved, wash. ed, and decently clotbed They accompanied the Soldiers and rap ers of police to the boat, which they thought we sent in quest of their comrades, On the way up the rivarabey were bound and gag- ged; purposely gagged, my informant mys, to pre- their powering soy quemions put to them by the Enterpreter

This report is quite currant in Gunton, though the Chinese are more cautious in speaking out, as en quiries are being made no to the witnessrs who gave information to Sir John Davis. Compare it (the report) with what look place at the extension and in in at least probable. The men were gagged-the execution were hurried over in the most inderent manner—and not a single villager was present to take warning by the vaunted KEA PLE. It is mockery to speak of an example; the inen might just as well have been ex-outed within the precincta uf Hongkong Jail with the Chinese and European police looking un.

Boch is Sir John Davie candid assertion in direct opposition to all previous official publications. The | Editor of the Mail could not afford to exhibit the same manly spirit; he had put himself forward as | an omele on Chinese matters, and even the memory of the dead must be slandered to sustain his pul- recent reputation. How does he attempt this In his journal had appeared some tolerably correct accounts of his own, and one acknowledged to be correct and complete, communicated by a gentleman particularly well informed; but it would not do to allow those to go forth in their naked truth A. cordingly, they are clothed with a man of lakeboods, which is alleged were picked up at Cantin, the entire made up deformity, being a complete burlesque, wading to derive the public. The general tenor of the mustulinous reports published in the over- land edition of the China Mail appear in effect be, that lus countrymen commenced the affray in which they were killed at once, and that no reliance can be placed on anything that can he said to the contrary. This is not suid boldly; but few who have read the paper but have come to the sorrowful conclues that such was the impression wished to be conveyed by the reports, and the Editotinl remarks on the Inquiesta, in opposition to this we pines Sir John Davis ja addressing Kryng," that being attacked accord. ing to the previous repeated declarations of the villagers, they defended the maelves with pistols and some of them being captured were subsequently put to death in cold blood.

The on- liments are “unobjectionable,”—quite,—but it is to be regretted that it did not appear six months ago when it was well known the villagers were confederating to murdor foreigners. As to the twenty policemen furnished by the val- linnt Magistrates, it is a mere burlesque upon security; if attacked by the villagers, while in the discharge of their duty, they would think discretion the batter part of valer and bult to | a mao. Keying know the murdered on were alive on the oth, yet he did not dare to rescue them from the villagers; the Magistrate of Nanbae with a strong force at his command not dare to land, though he also knew they were alive. In the face of those facts, to prate of the security to be afforded by twenty police- men seems very foolish, and only at for the mouths of knaves and fools, and it is to be hoped that none such are among us in a posi tion to work mischief.

He has not shown, however, that the villagers have laid down any " self prohi bitions" against killing foreigners, or that they have expressed the slightest contrition for their atrocity. It is true, the brawling Conny and Literati of Canton have put forth a clama tion advising peace, but there are no grounds of belief that the villagers will pay any regard to it The gist of the tedious negotia tion appears to be the statinging of twenty men near the factories to act as a body guard, the fulmination of two or three chups some with- out a date, an abundance of promises, and an assertion that certain functionarios have been sent to admonish the villagers.

THE SHIPS OF THE WAR OR THE OXIPA OF THE SURVEYOR {From the Shipping Gazette.)

Resuming the subject of our naval armament during the last war (continued in our justast of the J?ch ?k), we hare to observe that, between the breaking out of the war in 1793, and the close of the war in 1814, several vary, ?ne ships of two decka wwe osptured from the seamy and added to the list of the Navy ; among the larger of this class, vessels rated 80 guas and upwards were the Malia, Tonnant, Canopus, Pompir, and one or two others; and of a smaller class, rated from 74 to 76 or 68 guns, were the Donegal, Tigre, Impeteus, Herculs, Spartiate, &c., captured from the French. The larger claus of these resule, the 80's, were unquestionably the finest ships of two decks in the world; they were of great size and tonnaga, for the time, and would be found of ample size and tonnage for the present day; they carried a heavy armament, were excellent sea boats in every weather, sailed remarkably fast, and were very weatherly. The Canopuce, which is still In commission, may serve as an inferior specimen of the group. The smaller ships to which we have referred were nothing inferior to the others except in sino; they had every good quality which the larger ships possessed: and as a proof they were powerful vessel we may state that, although beavily masted, they stood up a'mirably wall to their can- vas, and never complai red in bad weather.

In a naval work pub iabed in 1800, we ?nd it anted that H. M. ship Jrepesona's (rated 76, captar- sedefrol the French in the action of the Ist June) lower masla were four feet above those of a 06-gan ship; her tapmasta not quite so high in proportion; her toplantionate higher than what are common. ly used in 74; her lower and tops?lyards very square; topgsilang yards not so. In these days of |naval Inquiry it say he imteresting to give the di- mensions of this vessel's spam as a specimen of the class to which she belonged, and this we are enabled to do from an official document:- Mainmast from the step, 115 feet 4 inches; topmast, 67 feet 4 inches: gallantroust, 32 feet 11 inches; foremast, 104 frei 6 inches; foretopmast, 63 feet 6 inches; foretop- gallant mest, 20 at 11 inches; misen must, stopped in the lower drek, 80 feet 6 inches; reizentopmast 47 feet 4 inches: isentop-gallantmart, 22 feat 8 inchen; bowspril, 71 feat I inch, jib-boom, 48 feet 9 inches: main yard, fel incles; topil yard, 80 feet 5 inches; inpgallam yard, 42 feet 2 inches; fore yard, a fet 0 inches; foretopsail yard, 67 feet inch; torgailent yard, 37 feet 2 inches; mizzen. feel. When we consider the number of year that topsail yard, 47 feet 10 inches; topganol yard 33 these superior ships were in the possession of this country, it is surprising that the new ships upon two deche, Bulk after the renewal of the war 1808, were not constructed from their lines, instead of building a class of vereria which were for the most part of a very mediere description compared to them. We have been informed upon sufficient authority that, out of nine British ships of the line which accompanied the Russian dret to England after the Convention of Cutra, there were hat two of them that could sail with the ship of the Russian Admiral Zineris; these were the Donegal uni) Her cair, both French ships and among the British squadron there were ships, both of the old and new construction. The Russian ship, Swedish-built, was of 78 guna. This fot alone ought to have given a bit to the aaral avaboritim, that there was some room for Improvement in our naval construc- all the virtues of a ship of the line to consist in her tion; not, as we have already said, that we consider sailing qualities; but when this is found combined with every other good property, an in these French hipo, it is certainly most desirable. It is quits possible that some of the Surveyor's shipa may il though judging from the trials with the Canopus, better than those we exptured from the French, al this is by no means well established; but admitting that they have this perfection, it is undeniable that, in every other respect, and in every property which would be required for a sea-going ship, they are Tally inferior.

When they sighted her again she was beating in, but quickly put of before the wind; they gave chase and cap whed her. On board was crew of seven man, also a woman and a boy.

They were there on purpose to ass- jannato him, and their detection has led to the arrest of about 40 of the principal conspirators, Buch is the report, and it is by no means im- probable, as n is clear that the government has little control over the people. Perhaps Keying has conciliated too long, but if the above is cor rect, he now requires to act with vigor and so- repily.

A Copampondant writes us from Macao, that on the 19th the Queen ul Holland's birth day was celebrated by the Dutch Residents with much loyaky.

The shipping was decorated from sun-ring with national flags, and at noon royal salutes were fired from Lopruit and the Adrianus en Jurcbus. His Excellency the Governor of Ma

no had ordered the flags to be boisted on all the forta ju honour of the day; and the com- pliment was returned by the Dutch vessels boisting the Portuguese Bag at the main and saluting it.

A breakfast was given on board the Loopruit by her Captain; it was attended by the Nether- lande Consul and the other Dutch subjects in Nacar, also by a fow Griends. The health of fler Majesty and other national toasts were drank “with a true Durch heart." The Go- verpor of Macao was also honoured with a flowing bumper.

We took no notes of the pro may be able to give a tolerable sketch of the two cases tried, the third brought before, the court having been postponed to the 15th of

next month,

The first trial was that of a man charged with having been connected with the piracy of the Caroline on the 5th February 1841. The evidence was similar to that in the third case in the Register's report, vil; that of the pirate Too-apo who has turned Informer. On thin he was convicted and septenced to transpor tation for life.

On this case we would remark, without however questioning the verdict. that the on supported evidence of an Informer requires to be received with circumspection. Four men have been convicted on the testimony of Too

Mr Begida han had much expiece in legislating for a comercial settlement, and we anticipats that his career in Chi na will not detract from his well earned repumtion. Unfortunately on his arrival, if he does not at once require to plunge into the intricacim of Chinese diplomnoy, he will very shortly have to attunge a tristy either by force of arms or amicably, is the latter caso laking ample security for the fath of the other contracting party, and thus for a time much of his atterring will be drawn from the colony. The removal of axisting restrictions, a rigorous suppress. ion of piracy, a reform of the police, and a modi- fication of the enveriting of the police court, appear to be the chief reforme called for, learing trade to its natural growth. We trust Mr Bonhem will call into Council a few of the mom experiencel members of the community; and the colonista may congratulate themselven that His Excellency will be aided by an able colonial legislator in the commander of the forces.

14 June last the British Merchants at the port of Shanghai formed a Chamber of Commerce, similar to that at Choloo, for the acouragemani and pro- lection of trade. Of this due intimation was given to Her Majesty's Consul with a request to be inform ed whether he would recognise the Chamber offici ally. To this communication no abewer was re. ceived, and on the 15ih Ultimo the Chairman aguin addressed the Consul, which called for the lengthy letter we now lay before the public

There are many assailable points in Afr Alcock's letter, but we will merely point out one or two of them.

As to the logle,-by which he condemne him. self If the Chinees had a right to establish Cham bees of Commerces for legitimate purposes, he was que unjustified in tending to the jealous feelings of foreigners and preventing such establishments.

2nd. As to the facts The Chinese did not wish to form a Chamber of Commerce. They were de sirous of forming a Consoo fund similar to that abo limbed at Canton. The primary object of this fund wat to pay off the creditors of the bankrupt Hoogs, though its ulterior effect would have been to esta blish a strict monopoly of the foreign trade in a few hands, levying a direct tax upon it of 24 per cent.

?rd. Mr Alcock was not solely instrumental in preventing this. "We refer to the statement from the ton Merchants at Ningpo and Hwuy-chou, and also to the proclamation forbidding the association. It will be observed from the latter, that the Tau-tai pro. hibited the association because" the merchants were

divided in opinion on the subject," and not because the Consul disapproved of it.

The British Bubjects resident at Shanghai hava addressed Sir John Davis on the Hwang-chu-kee murders. While expressing their horror of the deed that has been commited, they urge upon His Ex- the absence of Our Cloverone and Comcellency the necessity of taking steps to prevent the death chief of our agid Island of Hongkong now and perpetration of similar atrocities, not only at Canton but also at Shanghai. It is true that the people of the latter port have hervsofore been quiet, bot how long they may continue so, if the perpetrators of the Late murders go unpunished, or unless some severa example is made, is extremely problematica. There are now a considerable number of Cant?d Chi- nese settled at Shanghai, and ibay will not fall with Mr Alcook in bad in bis logic, and innocurate in Lue Chinese insolence to expatisis upon the degend face. It was notorious to the community during position of foreigners at the factories; the poison last winter that the creditore of the bankrupt Honge thus instilled into the minds of the people of the were holding meetings to concert some scheme for north, and a sense of their own humiliation during repaying themselves. The silk and too Hell with the war, may possibly encourage them to insch for- - a duly of 24 per cent was devised ; but apart from eigners who live among them with liule or no pro- | the creditors, not an honest man had any connection tection.

B-We have heard with mingled feelings of herrar and indignation of the draufal tragedy lately enacted in the waighbourhood of Canton, and as Brilch Bigbe jects realdent at Shanghai, fool imperatively called opon, with unanimous voice thas publicly to record timents. at so momentous a period of British interc??em

with Chies.

Justice demands, and must receive a full mess of retribution for the paparalleled atrocity; but this can be socosolation to the sorrowing relatives of the unfor Tunate victims, as thay mourn their unalmaly fate, and reflect that for a period of forty-eight boars, with death before their vai no their only friend, the most earl and revolting tortures were inflicted in the absence of

any arm to save.

While we participate in thais grief), we feel that they will reciprocate our conviction that the previous warns logs of impending dangar were too lightly regarded, and that the continued presence of efficiant protection di Canton might Providentially have averted the pro-

1 catastrophe.

We trust that a diffrent Use of policy to thai hitherto parsed will now be adopted ; and that so con. Tineing a proof of the litter and deep rooted heality of the people of the Cantes province towards we will be met by Your Excellency with such vigour and de. termination as may at length teach them, and teach the vation, then forbearance has its limits, and that merey cannot for ever avert the Just paishment of guilt. In this view, we would respectfully bring to Year Eteel- lency's notice our position and the relation in which we stand with the people of this part of China.

The friendly latercourse hitherto subsisting between the foreign residents of Shanghai and the surrounding population, le to be attributed mainly to the salutary lesson taught in the latter during the late war ; strong- thened, so trost, by intercourse with a nation whom they had previously only known by report, and that in terms of grow misreprmentation. We cannot, how- ever, conceal from ourselves the fact that, our presmice bare le one of sulferen?a alene, and borne with no good will. According to the spirit displayed by Your Ex- cellency at the present erlain, may thla pasive toleration merge into subinlisten, or be farmed into hostility to the disappointment of ibi expretations formed by Her Mas jesty's Govertiment of the steady advancement of Bri- tish Interests at this place.

Je regard to the official recognition of British Chamber of Corona Shanghai to which your letter more part cularly refers, I fear there are local circumstances which would render a surp of this nature injurious rather than beneficial to British Inarena.

it will be in your recollection that iterated and re- noong efforts have bach made on the part of the Chinese merchants here to establish Chambers of Commerce, one- sibly for the legitimate purpose of obtaining information, of their trade, and communicating in a body with the rrodering metal rapport and assistance in the promecasion authoritie

Extreme Jealousy on the part of the foreign sommunity has been manifested as often as this question has been ag tated among the Chinese; and on the last decalm, but a few months ago, the determination of the Ci

? Chinase to an their right to form Chambers of Commates was only defeat- ed by Her Majesty's Consul Rumally calling moun Illa Excellenes the routan to withhold his odcial sanction, kadeve in interdict the fording of say much entsclations among the Tea and 80k merchants, as a measure fraught with embarrasment and injury v?

M. Cossal with say show of consistency or justice, to shortly after bis recognise an association of British subjects, identical to strong rethonstrance to the Chinese authorities officially, to all appearance with the bomber of Commerce propuned by the Chinese merchants.

However

In conclusion, we would respectfully and sernantly urge upon Your Excellency that our existence in China depends on a moral as well as a physical ascendancy; and that if we do not take timely warning and su rights by a course of the most vigscans and un- Binching policy, our position in China may soon be no longer sewable.” With a request that you will have the

We were met on the beach by some of the natives, who cordially wel comed us to Pitcaire's Island, and showed us the way to the market-place, up a steep and rugged park, winding along the cliff, and throng a beautiful variety of all kinds of tropical flowers and shrubs.

The whole of the aires, men, women, and children, headed by Mr Neppe, the schoolmaster, had assembled in a space of about half an sore aquare, carpeted with thick soft gras, and eaunpied overhead by the spreading busechs of cocoa-nut tree, to meet the strangers, all of them being dressed in their gayest.

Victoria, December, ISIT

(From the Overland Friend of Chine, Jan. 29) W mentioned last month that for wretches had been executed at the village of tlwang-chu- kee, said to have been four of the murderers of our countrymen. According to the Chinese notions of justice, these four lives, and those of the two men killed in their attack on the six En-

subject, they would be dispelled by two docu mente published in the China Mail, Chey are

id to be despatches from two Magistrates of Nanbao intimating to Keying that they had each siered two of the murderers. The docu- ments bear fraud on the face there. They are both dated the 19th December, Keying having informed Sir John Davis of these captures on the 17th! The truth is that Koying was making the best terms he could and possibly when he found that four heads would be taken as “part of my demands," the official report of the seizure was drawn up; though we have great doubts as to whether the documents are of Chinese origio at all. They read inore like the bungling efforts of a European to copy the Chinese stylo, and may have been concocted for a very un- worthy purpose. The framer is probably but tyro at the traile, and bence the over-sight as to dates, as well as the omission t? naine the place from whence dated. It is not the leasi painful circumstance connected with our pre- sent difficulties, that suspicion of a desire to malign the dead should attach itself at least to one British subject, and another who nominally has that honour. In the face of the prepara- tions made by the villagers for the mur der of all foreigners who might land it was urged by the official paper again and again that with "ordinary discretion" there was no throven upon the Englishman, and the illusory danger. The blame of affrays was invariably punishments reported in Keying's despatches were held up as evidence of the impartiality of the Chinese Commissioner. This agreed exactly with Bir John Davis's despatches to the Foreign Secretary,and was considered an amplopology for withdrawing the Pluto. There is now an evi dent desire to throw thy blame of the Hwang chu-kee murders upon the victims. In the al leged vemped up despatches from the Nanbao Magistrates, one of the four primmers is made to say that the six Englishman fied insulted a woman and then shut a boy dead. Another prisoner repeats the story, the truth of which has been obscurely, though repeatedly hinted at in the paper in question. The perversity of disposition which induces an individual obati- nately to adhere to an expressed opinion is obetinacy when it battens on the reputation to be censured, but what will be maid of such of the dead 1

(True Extract)

A. R. JOHNSTON,

This Notification and its accompanying er. tract were received with derision, it being the general impression that after a vast deal of gas. conade we were to be pacified with twenty Chinese policemen subject to additional safe- gaurd, and further modifications | Some low would not believe that Bristish diplomacy was thus to be disgraced-that British subjects were to have their lives still farther endangered by blind compliance with the "devi wishes of Keying. They would rather look upon it as a ruse to gain time. It appeared impossible that the demands, which Bir Jobo Davis said would satisfy every one for the pre. sent, should consist of the execution of four of the murderers a guard for the protection of fu reigners, with ertain mysterious safeguarda and modifications, and the idea of its being a sestle- ment in full ww scouted, The acceptance of a guard is in itself a most dangerous step; it is establishing a syste?n of espionage of which the Chinese will avail themselves, at the same time the force being quite ineffective.

glishmen, is full compensation for the end blood. el murders. We will not particularly discuss this point ; every man with's British heart will scout the idea of six guilty crimmals being equi. valent to six inancent men. The doctrine once admitted, and there is an end to even the sha dun of personal safety for foreigners in any part of the Chinese empire. These mu ders dia to be desk with as a tational crimo,--a gravo offence committed by one people upon another, --and the atonement must be commensurato, A mere homicide in a brawl or bonickles result ing from the rudsen outbreak of popular feeling are very diff?rcol affairs, and the distinction must not be lost sight of. The Hwang-chu-kec murders were the result of deliberately devised plans, sanctioned by the Elders of the people; published in all the villages; and known to the authorities. No measures word taken to frus rate there plans; if they were not instigated by the Excentive, they were at least left up- disturbed. The British Plenipotentiary kaverta that "the Canton people have been encouraged against foreigners, and are ready to murder them when they merely take recreation in the country under the treaty." The responsibilty lies heavy upon a corrupt government and corrupt people.

While the villagers were organizing de ultis and maturing these diabo- real plans, Keying was writing hollow des patches to Sir John Davis, aasturing him of the Pacific disposition of the people. The Envoy was deceived by these delusive statements, and withdrew the protection which the Britub go verument all but demanded should be kept constantly near the factories; a portion of the press added to the mistaken feeling of security y bold assertions that no danger was to be apprehended from the villagers. The result je one of the most melancholy tales of blood and erucity that ever sullied a page of history. Even now, after the lapse of two mouths, the mird cannot without difficulty be brought to a contrinplation of the fiendish crueltics came froes Ella Excellency, H. M.

Alarmed by the circular the representative of the United States addressed Sir John Davis, and received an answer which appears irro concilable with the circular itself, or at lenst leads to the conviction that the circular was very uncalled for, only causing unnecessary alarm and expense, British subjects are per- fectly aware of the rule the application of which is contingent upon a mere posibility," without having much a coatly intimation of it:

Disproportioned as the execution of four of the murderers would be tothe enormity of the crime, it is now atcertained almost beyond a doubt! that the four men beheaded were in no way connected with the murders.

On the 20th January another Notification appeared, introducing snother extract from Mr Macgregor's despsicles. It now become evi dent that negotiation had again been fruitless, carrying his threats into effect. Koying was not and that the British Envoy had no intention of

to be bullied, and the scaling ladder, abovels, &c., &c. were cast aside. Keying alleges that the well prohibitions" of the people here more mal power than the prohibitious of the authorities, and after sending runners through the villages admonishing them, and issuing pr clamation to the surge effect, the whole affair is len with the sovereign people. The Gantry of Canton have also issued a proclamation "admonishing and commanding the country anity with the foreigners. The latter procla people that they must all praction peace and mation bears no date, and in all likelihood it was concocted in the Commissioners office, It is said that the villages have been visited by a foreigner versed in the language, and not a single proclamation was found, the villagers exhibiting their usual ferocity. We annex the Notification and extract which embodies the tenor of Keying's despatch. It will be observ ed that Keying tacitly acknowleges his inability to control the people, and foreigners are tow at the tender mercies of a mob only restra-

Whether, with the Sve poria on the Chinese mainland open, Hongkong would ever have become place of very considerable trado, is a polal on which we need bot stop to weigh the conflicting evidence. It was first selected by Captaic Elliott as the best situation near Canton, from the fineness of the barbour, and from its eligibility as a statica for ships to rest at. That was before the extension of our trade to the northern port. But it ame probable that neither Hongkong nor Chuan-bad wo retined the Isner island-wore likely to become preeminent places of trade-in the vicingga, res pectively, of Canton and Shanghel. We ought, however, at fenat to have given our insular ontle meat a chance. The past local administration has given it no chance; sod, in addition to all direct British landers, Chinese someness was offered to insert a clase in the Supplementary Treely, obliging all junks resorting to Hongkong to bring permits from one of the five ports. The effect of this might have been anticipated-either the pre- hibition, or the taxation by the mandarine of the native trade.

It is sup- posed to be the production of the Canton men who have flocked up since the port was opened. They live upon the foreign trade, but are re- markable (as at Canton) for their insulence. They do not associate much with the people of the north, and until their number very much increase they will have little power. Should they ever get to be a large body, they will no doubt attempt to over-awe foreigners after the Bouthern fashion, but a great protection is in the quier disposition of the Shanghai men, and the reserve with which they receive the Canton people.

We give a short extract from our Corres- pondents letter,-

Numerous letters were brought up by the Torrington for the Canton Chinese, when the news came by that vessel of the Hwang-chu-koe atrocity. The purport of thess letters was, as gathered from the northerns, that they had slain six of the English devils in Canton, to strike terror into the rest, and as the latter were ex- pected to revenge them they called upon their relations in the north to return home.

On the ovening of the 11th there was a large fire within the city of Canton, but by midnight it was got pader. It is said to have boen nearly as large as that of 20th November last.

THE FRIEND of China and HONGKONG GAZETTE,

WANCE OF THE "Queen Victonis”—From the 100ounts which we have re- seivel of this accident, we learn that the collaian teok place between and a 'clock on Wednesday morning, all the north-east past of Ireland. It appears that the Flemmer was going st fall spend on her voyage to Dublin, and that the Foone Allerton was also under full sali, belng bbund for ihla port. Neither emel was described by the other from what cause has not yet beeo sxplained—ntil they were within thir- ty yards of each other, when a collision became inevitable. The steamer reversed bar engines, and made every effort to get out of the way; but as the space between the two reels was too small to allow of her doing so, the ship bore down upon her at a fearful rate, striking her on the starboard paille-how. The bow of the Joona Allerton was driven right into the machinery of the steamer, and great feare were on- tertained that, with the brary which was then rising, the steamer would be cut In two. The passengers, each anxious only for the preservation of his own Mfs, an- destoured to get on board the Farne dierten, and shout so of them sucousled in doing The were brought up here last wight

On being left to herself the steamer became quito logged, in which state she re mained till about eight of clack, when the A'imrad (Cork stusser) esme to her a

nes. The Emerald verww-vowel came up woon after and took her in tow. The Quas then came in company with the Emerald as for to the Light Blip, where she was taken up by the Fren Dale, and brought safely into the river.

During the whole of last night the most exaggeratni rumours were affous tempect- ing the loss of life with which the serident was accompanied ; we, however, are happy to state, that not a single life has been lost, nor has any person been injured that we have beard of.–Liverponi Timas, Norimber 31.

CAPTAIN MCQUMAR Miled for England on Thursday. Previous to his departure a depu- tation waited on him to present an addies, which is annexed. The compliment is one

which Captain McQuhee merited in every respect; but it must be borne in mind by this community that such compliments are not to be paid lightly. If thrown away upon those who do not deserve them, they become value less in the estimation of those who fairly claim rome testimonial of public respeel. It is an error common in many colonies to be too libe- ral in this way, and one which they would so well to check, so it renders of little value that which ought to be invaluable.

In retiring from the artificial rank of a colo- nual appointment, where his every public act is arrutinized by those among whom he has dweh, it must be peculiarly gratifying to a public officer to have he services approved by the voice of the community. Favour has then ceased to be an object, and Truth gives free utterance to a sacred language. Captain McQubar, was not a servant of this colony, but as he has expressed it, I consider the welfare and prosperity of the commercial interests of our country as of the very Brat consequence to the state, and that it is the paramount duty of every Naval Officer in Her Majesty's service to support the British mer chant in whatever part of the Globe be may find him." This sentiment should never he lost sight of by the commander of a ship of war; he has higher duties to perform than Enidest in Chain qo the Briish Association for the Miller keeping his ship in a seamanlike condition.

The following copy of a resolution passed on the 19th explains the sentitments of the Chamber, and will, it is to be hoped, meat with every aention from the younger members of the community who are too apt to run unnecessary risks.

on the 22nd. The news aprond like fire, and in a few hours it was known at the factories. Various are the conjectures as to the causes which have lend to such a sudden change; but the avok, infeal the greater part of the Chinees, look upon it as a decided victory over foreign interests, it being the common impression that Keying is to favourable to Miangers, The most reasonable supposition appears to be, that the court of Pekin is alarmed at the growing upo pularity of the Viceroy and the seditious spirit exhibited by the people. The feeling of homi. lity is not confined to Keying individually, but ex. bends to the 'l'astur dynasty, and indeed to the whole Manchow race. The Cabion province can only be ruled by conciliation,—that is by bowing to the will of the sovereign people la most things, and show. ing deference to their prejudices. Keying is in advance of his countrymen ; he seen their accorn and known that their vila pamiona will bring down an them the iron heal of a foreign power, and that they will be crushed to the earth. He cannot however in noculate others with this belief; national vanity is too strong, and the present dress will be dispelled by foreign bayonote. Four your have slapsed since the tresty of Nankin, bet to this present moment it has not been deemed prudent to make the people acquainted with that frosty and the privileges i secures to foreigners. Keying has had a difficsk card to play; on the one band the people had to be soothed and their vanity flattered; on the other the demanda of the British Plenipotentiary that the trosty be kept in good faith required to be evaded or deferred. For upwards of three years Keying played a wmning game. Chusan was given up, but Canton was not opened as promised; the Britu Envoy was flattered into the belief that all was going well and that the people were quiet, though their hatred to the Faaqui was daily becoming more m tense. Lord Palmatston's peremptory onder la demand redress for the outrage upon the sammen of the Mary Bannatyne and Kaying's supercilious reception of the demand opened the eyes of the Envoy to the deception that had been practiced upon him. The April sapedition followed; but even with his city at the mercy of a foreign, foo, Kaying's genius prevailed, and an agreement was made not

Ova translations of the Pekin Gazette are brought down to the 19th of January; but no mention is made of Keying's recall. The war in Turkestan still exists, notwithstanding the brilliant victories chronicled by Yib-eban. Kesh-ming, Assistant Minister in the Yerkand Territory, memorializes stating, that he had en- countered a rebel torce of horse and foot" and defeated them with a loss of many killed and prisoners." When the truth becomes fully known, we will be better able to estimate the sufferings of these unhappy Mabommedans in their struggle for bberty. Mention is made of our old acquaintance Keshen; a memorial from him respecting military appointment received the Imperial assent. The Imperial ament was also given to a memorial from Lin for the ap- pointment of a Magistrate on the " barbarian" irontier of the Yunnan province. We presume "barbarian frontier" refers to Burmah, as our Indian possessions are at a great distance from Yunnan. The publication of the Gazettes" will be resumed on Wednesday, and continued, we trust, with regularity,

THE FRIEND OF CHINA AND HONGKONG GAZETTR.

"Through the manus channel by which the Nan- | axposes his fally to the world, and courts the dia. o's report of the Trial of the four mom ermied at | grace be cannot avoid. It upsets all our preson- wang chu-kes was formerly procured, we have reived motions of the judicial character. It draws obtained the following notes of the examination of the mind insensibly back to the days of the infamous the other parties apprehended, --

Jefferion, who was said to have drupk himself to death in the Tower, and of whom a contemporary Mlatorian afirmed that, even in his batter days, his friendship and conversation lay much amongst the good fellows and humorists, and bis delights were accordingly drinking, laughing, singing and all the extravagancies of the bottle if such no accusation be in its very nature odious if it startle ve when brought against a Judge of whose che racter nothing is known-how much more hateful, and more astonishing, must it prove when the party assailed is one who reputation has hitherto been without spot or blemish, and who has so demesned himself as to have gained the respect and esteem of the community at lazga. This would soom to be the case with her Chief Justice Hulme. Forming our opinion from a perusal of the China papera, s'? should conceive this gentlemen to be sealous and intelligent of a lively and social temperament- and of perfect uprightama and thorough indepen- denon. He appears to be a general favourite in Hongkong-cept, of course, at government house and his judicial decisions have givan overy sh- Lisbetion. Eroo supposing he were guilty of the degrading charge preferred against him, the course pursued by his accuser would deserve the strongvet reprehension at the hands of every honourable man; but asuming him to be innocent, as we must do in the shaunce of proof to the cogniery and as, indeed, we are justifled in doing by the Information given in the Hongkong journals- there are rarely words in the language severe enough to express our disgust at the conduct of Bie John Deria in reference to his distinguished victim. The charge of drunkenneen was frat mede, it is said, in a private despatch from the governor of Hongkong to Lord Palmerston, shortly after the Compton trial, in which a decision wa given by the Chief Justice which proved the re verse of palatable to Hir John. The writer never expected that his private communication would go further; his object was secretly to blast the cha racter, and up the prospecie, of his enemy's but Lord Palmerston regarded the despatch as un official document, and handed it over to Earl Grey, H.M. Secretary of State for the Colonise, who forthwith demanded an investigation. Theo Bir John Davis reported that since Mrs Hulme had proved; and that it would consequently be unse returned from England, the Chief Justice had im.

tation of a Judge was not to be defamed with im cenery to purrs the matter further; but the repu punity, and Lord Grey intimated to Sir John that he must either apologise or prove his charge. The later alternative was chosen; and she charge bas buen attempted to be proved—with what revolt the extracts given in yemarday's paper will have in some degree apprised our readers. It would seem that the only really unfavourable evidence was that of Major Came, and that this was pe butted by an overwbsiming amount of testimony on the sther side-many of the witnesses for the prosecution (as it may be termed) deposing directly in favour of the Chief Justice! The enquiry was conducted by Commission" consisting of the Executive Council of the Colony; and not only did Sir John Davis, the prosecutor, preside at this tribunal, but all the members were cited, one after the other, as witnesses against the Chief Justice! This will scarcely be believed-but the fast is broadly stated by one of our Hongkong contempo- maries. It is added that the Court was kept closed, though the Chief Justice desired that the enquiry might be an open ons.

Ling-ah deponed, that he was thirty-sbeno peace of ago seda nause of the villags of Huangsbokm, and that he and complied with the sequent of Lasag-a-ho, do, to magist thejn in putting the six bodies into the river.

Fame Indra and China Maita-The following Rentazione were adopted by the Chamber of Commerce and Manufactures of Glow, 1st December, 1847: That in the opinion of this Chamber, the tart of ten months after date, or al months after sight, at which Bills of Exchange are uiually drawn from the East ladies and Chios, is necessarily long for the legitliste parpos of Commeres, and gives cus couragement a much ill-founded speculation. That a esence of sloty days after sight, or five months after data, would, in the opinion of the Chamber, alluni su cient facilities for merchants in the Rast India and China trade, onducting thele business on sound principles. That this Chamber use all the influence in tele power to establish the term of slasty days after sight, or four months after date, so the regular ance from the East Indies and Chine; and that, with this view, a copy of these Romolutions be forwarded to the other Chambers of Commeres in the try.--Glasgow Catitutional, Desenler 6.

FRED TRADE, WITn an Exception—la 1049, when Bir Robert Pred's first free trade movement took place, and the new tariff was introduced, the duty on cork- Wood was considerably reduced, a worthy and somewhat clamorous advocate for free trade happened to hold a very larga stock of duty paid cork-wood, which, by the re duction of duty, was rendered so much the lam valuable. This gentleman mouse- | quently became loud in his condemnation of the new trift, when familiar sequat

chappened to remark to him, "Why, Sir, 1 thought you were a grant free "Free sadler | free trade be hanguli so I am still a tres trader, but I don't want free trade in cork-wood.”

Onver-Whitefeld's hakitu were singularly nice and cleanly, upon the principle that everything about a ministar should be “spodme.” Ifa was known to say that be could not die sary if his gloves were out of place. He had the gentlemanly love of order, which required his table to be elegantly spread even if only a loaf, or his favourite diab, a cone heel, wore to be spread upon it.—Fraser.

There is a family at Box, Harts, consisting of father, mother, som, and daughter, whose united ages are m?y 38 years. The age of the father in 17s that of the no ther 18; and the children, who are twins, a few woska.-W. Despatch Nov. 1.

There are belonging to the various clubu 683 yachts, measuring 29,980 tros, and taanned by 4 480 mm, beelden 800 mestere and stewards—/bid.

THE LOBS OF THE “AVENGER."

The following letter from Me Larcom (the gun- mer) to his wile, residing at this port, describing the loss of the Avenger, differs in some particulara from the statements made by Lieutenant Rooke:--

Malta, January 4.

THE FRIEND OF CHINA AND HONGKONG GAZETTE.

The Charleston Mercury states that, of the South Carolina regiment, which left | the United buses nine months ago, numbering nearly 1100 man, but between eighty and aloety ware left to enter the city of Mexico.

I take this most welcome opportunity of writing a few lines to you to tell you I am safe, after ouf- fering the most dreadful shipwerck ever known, The Avenger ran on a reef of tocks on the night of the 20th of December, about ten o'clock. 1 was in bed at the time, but was awoke by the shock, I jumped out of bed and began to feel for my clothes, but very heavy son striking the ship have ber entirely on her boom ends. I ran on deck without my clothes, when I was ordered to gst the cutters Jowered, but there was such a dreadful son that not a mea would clear away the boats. At lost some of the officers, together with myself and the Cap. fain's Steward, lowered our of the hosts, and myself and even others showed off from ane ill-fated ship with hopes that we should be able to render some amistance to our dear and lamented shipmaten, but I am sorry to say without raccem, We had hardly shoved of from the ship when the msinmasi went over the side, taking with it the funne) and mixen- topnast, which fell in board and most hre killed a number of men. A minute or so after this the forear. maat and bowsprit went, leaving the ship a total wreck in less than twenty minutes. All this time the wind and sea were driving our little boat away from our ill-fated ship, which we lost sight of in Jess than an hour and a half, and in this time the the wind blew a gole; and I then began to inquire who was in the boat; when, to my sorrow, 1 found I had not a man in the boat who could do a thing. Il mont buce bran nearly twelve o'clock when it came on to bail and ruin in such a way that i thought we should have been sunk; one moment! Mar. wo were on the top of the mounisin waro, the next seemed the bottom of the sea. ?Expecting every second to be our last, we were all praying for day. light, and as list it came, bringlog to our gune all the horrors of the previous darkness. I then took a glance at my ill-fated companions: oh, what a sight to seal four of the eight lying kieless, or Dearly so, as my feet, the wind still increasing, and the ven running counteins high, which broke over and nearly filled us a great many times. At last land appeated right a-head, and our litle boat was learing through the aen. We maile out the land to be the cost of Barbary; we were forced to run right for the land; if we had not we should have asuredly been lost. It was now about ten o'clock, and I found my eyesight and strength leaving me. Our boat was nearing the shore at an amazing sare, and when within a few hundred yards of the land our kitle bows was capsised, when foor sank to rise Do more. The other four reached the shore, and

fell senseless on the beach, or neatly so; but coming to our senare, we got up and comienced walking, we knew not whither. At last we fall in with an Arab, who took us to his hut, and gava as some warm milk, which brought us to our right senses, when we tried to make him understand we wanted to get a place where we could get a vessel to take in the aristance of our lamented shipmates. W garanci outrcives after travelling 100 miles, which we did in two days, with our faithful Arab ; for a guide; but I am sorry to say, when we got to the place where our ship ran on share, she was gone down, and every soul had perished, being In all 250 persons."

The loss of the Avenger and her Charts.---We bare authority for asserting that it is not correct, as stated by the Alalta correspondent of our own,

the Tines, and other journals, that “the Avenger had no charts of the Mediterranmu Sen ou board.” The Avenger was amply supplied with special and general charts for the Lisbon and Mediterranean stations.-Morning Herald.

A reference to the official statistics of trade will shew that for Indian produce Camion is market. At the other ports this important brands of trade is unknown, with the exception of a trifling traffic at Amoy. Were Briti merchants to abandon Canton, they could not carry the trade with them, they would meraly throw it into the hands of foreigners. The truth should not be lost sight of-so lo an other foreignere can reside in Canton, there British Merchants must also reside.

The Magistrate of Taing poo, to save him- self, has sent his reals of office to Boo- chow. It is also said that on the 26th several hundred people went to the office of the hang. hai district Magistrate to represent, that if the Junks did not immediately leave the port the Rice would spoil from the increasing best of the weather, and that in such case they would not be responsible. The Rice is shipped in bulk; and the carge of one Junk has already got heated and is much damaged.

The people continue quiet. The crews of the Rice Junks are chiefly Shanghai man (an orderly indolent race) and they take things very coolly. Many of them have gone to their homes to burn inceuse and lounge until matters are settled.

On Saturday two English gentlemen crossed in a Hong-boat to view a new bost building for them on the Honan creek, where most of the Canton pulling boats are built. When a few hundred yards from the second bridge the Hong-bost came in collision with a mud barge, without eansing any injury further than the displacement of a bambon covering which was over the stern of the barge. Some angry words (as on all such occasions) passed between the respective boatmen, when suddenly the master of the Hong-boat was struck down by a boat- book, and had not his hat been on he would have qustained severe injury from the blow this was followed up by a shower of stones. Two of the bargemen jumped ashore and said something to the crowd which had gathered on the banks, a yall was set up and a rush made to intercept the boat as the bridge. On arriving at the bridge stones and brickbats were thrown in web abundance as to compel the boatmen to seck shelter in the after part under the covering. The crowd was very violent; and the boatmen would not expose themselves. The two foreigners were thus obliged to go out and push the boat past the bridge. Dae of them was struck with a brickbat which col through his hat inflicting a severe wound ou the head; the other European pashed the boat on a few yards, fortunately escaping the missiles thrown at him, seeing which the boatmen were encouraged to go to his assistance. They succeeded in getting behind some houses which prevented the mob from doing them further Injury, and ultimately they escaped through an outlet which opens to the Macan pasago.

We merely notice a grom outrage upon decency committed about ten daya, ago. A Chinaman in a state of nudity, having his persoc partly painted black, appeared in the Dew English factory. Such is the dread of Consular law, that, though several Englishmen saw the blackguard, he was allowed to escape unpunished. It is said he received 2 for the exploit, and there is little doubt that the door keepers were either bribed or intimidated into giving the fellow admission.

An address was got up by some of the nativa Hoags to the British Merchants, requesting them to permit the Junks to sail, A suitable answer was returned; but we are not in poes. easion of either document.

2nd.-The contignity to Ningpo, Shanghai, Nankin, Corea, and Japan, is no advantage to Chusan, Ningpo in the midst of the toe country, with a dense population, is a place of no trade. It depends entirely upon Shanghai and were Churn ours to-morrow, it would neither draw the trade from Shanghai por im- prove that of Ningpo. As to Nankin, Cores, and Japan, it is more fully to speculate. We have not even the privilege of trading with either plase; and how this could be brought about by powession of Chasan we conf?m we cannot make out.

The Chinese government, therefore, at the con- clusion of the war, was in a most impoverished state; and it was generally understood afterwards, that a liberal and handsome petuniary considerailon fe Chata would not have been rejented by them. This might readily have been accomplished, by our joying them down, a large and handsome sum of money, and leting them obradom doing a considerable portion of the 21,000,000- The latter som has now been paid ull up to us, so that if the purchase of Chumn should be thought of we could only effect this by fresh negociation and arrangement with the Chinese government, be fore any foreign power stepa in and anticipates and which, I confess, I coulder is by no means imprumble.(1)

The conduct and proceedings of the Canton people to- wards os since the war, render that measure, in my judgment, the more det?mable, and 1 am surprisal that the British merchants have not-quilted Caston in, and removed their commercial proceedings, entirely to the eastern port, where their trade would be carried un, under not only ladinitely more ad- vatagens terms, especially at Ningpo and Shang. bae, but dey would themselves be thus liberated from the grass and insuling treatment, which they have so perpetually experienced at Canton.

This incurs, would moreover prove a serezo blow to the Canion people, and serve as a just re- tribution for their past mindreda, and infamous conduct toward us,

Of course, we do not charge the French Government with the intention of invading friendly territorio ; but there can be no doubt that the security of its capita) would render it much less netrons on the question of aggrovmivo war.

We take from an intelligent article in Fraser's clever magazine name points of information on the prorat addition to the strength of the French on- pitzt:

The forti?ratione consists of two lines or sys- tea The Brit, the "anciente," a continuous rampart, thirty-ave feet high, surrounded by a ditch, counterocarped with masonry with dity gaten, such forming a small citadel, the ditch bring capable of being filled by the Seine to the depth of eight feat. The sireumference of the enceinte la eight French lengers, or about twenty miles.

The second line consists of seventeen form, or rather fortromone, connected with each other by mi- litary roads. (This sumber is now, we believe, Ineranged by three or four), as the distines of from 1,000 to 7,000 metres from the encsinto, the whole Comprobanding about twenty leagues. This ne is also connected with the encrints by military ronde no radiated that, should an somay get poses. sion of ars of the fortresses, he could not advance. without exposing his fanks. The armament of the enceinte employs 8,000 guns of heavy calibre; thes of the fortrenos 700. The magazines of the fortresses will contato five million ponade of pow- der, with all other ammonition,

The provisioning of the capital in case of inva. sion would produce no real di?ealty. There is always held up in Paris grain and four for thirty- rear forty-five days, besides an immense quasity of animal and vegetable food, and six month's siare of wine. The population of Paris is roughly mal- eulated at 1,000,000 that of the banlieu at 200,000; the garrison would be 100,000; and 20 000 addi ties macke of flour would support the whole for two months. Cattle might be kept in the rear of i the fortresses. The troepe might be encamped between the lines; the National Guard would de Land the enceinte.

The aphora of action of a simple fortified port le the range of its artillery ; of a fortress, the dis since to which ita garrison can set with outaly; of

? grand fortified position, the whole range of conn- try on which an entire army can operate. There are in France 124 fortified places, 23 of the 6t clam, 47 of the second, and 54 of the third.

Bot

the two principal points of national defence are Pans, which now has 20 fortresses, and Lyons, which has 15.

To man the frondler foxtremes, and form an army in the Sold, France has at this momaat an army of the line amounting to 450,000 men, capable of being nearly doubled by the recall of the troops dia charged after six yes?'s service, who are all'liable to be summoned for six year's further service. The National Guard amount is 800,000, and the weiero dan, or general population, are able to be called out to take charge of the capital and the fortress, leaving the regular army disposable for

the field.

England lies within twenty miles of this ener mone mass of forre, and her whole dispomble army amount to 10,000. 1er artillery at her great depot is mid (in letters from odicars of the aetil-

Jory) to amount to something less than a dopen feld guns Bbe has no miles but on paper; and she thas depends for ber arisence on the chance of

But the triumphant mocess of this tactie has produced another change in the art of war, and the defence of a country is now rated, sot on the Freatier, bet on the expital itself. The frontier f?rtrerom remain ine their several uses, but, as the land can be traversed with less regard to their strength than in other days, the great stand la to be made in the chief city of the Kingdom.

Franes, which has always takes the lead in the arts of boman mischief, is now the leader in the now system of forcation. And Paris has been made by a chain of fortresses the strongest place of defenen in the world. But the system in th? instance has other objecia. The shotty position | of the Oiras dynasty, the riotous comperament of the Parisian popolace, and the general republican tendency of France, make it necessary that Louis Phillips should fortity himself as well as his city, and the canon of these fortrets can be as adroitly Turned on the populace as they could be on the trenches of an invading army.” The garrison of those fortress alone is said in amount to 50,000

men, and, while these troops are faithful, we shall But they have another power-we shall not my that they have another objest, at least while wo sonuses on civil terme with the honor of Orleano —and it is, that this forti?ed capital, by relieving the Govaram at from the fears of a invading army, Jeak at leisure to throw early the whole regu lar army of the country into the invasion of any of in orighbours. Of course, we do not charge the French Government with the imention of Invading friendly territories; but there can be no doubt that the security of its capital would reader it much less nervous on the question of aggranive war.

We take from an intelligent article in Fraser's clever magazine some points of information on the prorat addition to the strength of the French an pital:-

ses no more “three glorious days of July."

The fortifications consists of two lines or sya. tema. The first, the anciente," a continuous rampart, thirty-five feet high, surrounded by a ditch, countercarped with mascary with dity gates, each forming a small citadel, the dich being capable of being filed by the Salue to the depth of right foot. The circumference of the enceinte la eight Freach leagam, or about twenty miles.

The second line consists of seventeen forts, or father fortress, cranected with each other by mi. Mary roads. (This number in now, we believe, increased by three or four), at the distance of from 3,000 to 7,000 metres from the enceinte, the whole. somprobanding shows twenty lenguer. Thle Nos in a connected with the enoriate by military roade so radiated that, should an soapy get posses. mos of ors of the fortresses, he could not advance. without exposing his fanks. The armazonet of the enceinte employs 9,000 guns of heavy calibre; that of the fortivas 700. The magazines of the fortress will contain five million pounds of pow der, with all other ammunition.

The provisioning of the capital in case of inva- vion mosid producs no real dusculty. There is

always laid up in Parie grain and Bout for thirty. dre de f?rty-five days, besides an immenso quantity of animal and vegemble food, and six month's store of wine. The population of Paris la roughly cal- eulated at 1,000,000 that of the banlieu at 200,000; the garrison would be 100,000; and 90 000 addi tions make of four would support the whole for two mombs. Cattle might be kept in the rear of the fortresses. The troops might be encamped between the linee; the National Guard would de fend the snorists.

The aphere of action of a simple forti?ed part se the range of its artillery; of a fortress, the die- Lines to which its garrison can act with mia?y of ? grand fortified position, the whole range of coun- try on which an entire army can operata. There are in France 194 fortified places, 23 of the Brot chen, 47 of the second, und 50 of the third. But the two principal points of national defenos are Paris, which sow bas 20 fortresses, and Lyons, which has 15.

To man the frontier fogtremes, and form an army in the Bold, France has at this moment an army of the line amounting to 450,000 men, capable of being nearly doubled by the recall of the troops dis charged after six you?'s service, who ate all liable to be summoned for six your's further service. The National Guard amount to 800,000, sad the arriers den, or general popolation, are liable to be called out to take charge of the capital and the fortress, leaving the regular army disposable for

the Bell.

England les within twenty miles of this enot mous mass of force, and her whole disposable army amounts to 10,000. Her rullery at her great! depot is mid (in lasers from officere of the artil- ary) to amount to something less than a dose Beld guns She has no milein bat on paper; and she the depends for her asistence on the chance of

The result shows clearly that from the first there was no real difficul- ty in punishing the guilty. The Taoutai, no doubt, was under the impression that the Hwang-chu-kes deception could be reposted—that is, that the p nishment of those who were not guilty, would be taken in satisfaction of the offence.

11. M.'s Consul has much pleasure in stating for the information of the British community that the coercive measures he saw himself compelled to adopt fifteen days ago bave been followed by com pleto success. The ten ring leaders in the outrage al Taing-poo demanded on the 15th fret have this day been produced by the Neaias or Provincia Judge of the Province, two of the most vicious and dangerous were at once distinctly identified by the partios who had suffered from their violence and several of the remainder were recognized as having beso among their salata These ten offenders in the presence of H. M., Consul, the injured parties, all the Local Authorities, and a large num ber of assistants, were put in the cangue on the spot, to which punishinent they are sentenced for one month, prior to any further proceedings against them, and they will be exposed every day during that period in the public thoroughfares as a warning to all who are in like manner asil disposed The fallest entisfaction and redress baring thus been of fonded only remains for H.

On Sunday afternoon a Chinese powder fac tory, situated by the road side between East Point and Burn's point, blow up, killing four men who were pounding powder in stone mortars with wooden mallets. About six months ago there was an explosivun at the samo place without low of life; and it is a matter of some astonishment, that the impropriety of having powder houses by the side of a public thoroughfare, has not induced the Executive to establish some regulations as to the locality for such establishments.

An toquest was held on the bodios on Mon- day, from which we learn,--

That the house was divided into three com- partments; the ioner one was used for making powder; the second as a cooking place; the third as a sleeping room; the three apartments opened into each other, and when the explosion took place, the door between the powder and the cooking rooms was open.

In California there have been fresh trouble- for which, and other items of news, we refer to the following extract from a Sandwich Island paper of 11th March:-

Tar Funnen Briskt —The bureaux of the Chamber of Deputies com menced the examination of the budget for 1849 on Wednesday. The budget for the war department exceeds that of 1848, ie the amount of 1,307 998 francs. The total amount of k le 220,703,081 France. The affective army for the year 1849 is composed of 333 810 men and 80,061 horses, of which 274,781 will be employed in France, and 68,799 men and 14,000-homes are destined for Algiers. During the last two or three years the amount of men for Algiers has been the dewam thin some as is now demanded, but by supplementary eredus the number of effective men employed in Algeria has been sich your raised to upwards of 100,000, The navy budget is fixed at 139,309,00er Compared with the budget of 1849, this la a diminution of two millions of francs. The effective naval force is re- Comduced by 13 armed vessels and 1960 men. I fired for the year 1849 at 97,373 inen, mbarked on board of 203 armed abiga of different sizes. Of these 179 are in active service and 30 in commission.

This apparent reduction in the naval armements is counterbalanced by the extraordinary credits for the fortification of Cherbourg, and the roadstands of Toulon and Port-Vendres.

The accounts brought by the Bandicoot relative to the price procured for our Bandal-wood at Hongkong, are very for from being so satisfactory circumstances to be taken into consideration that as we had hoped ; neverthuleve there are many may lead us to suppose this trade may you prove of more value to the colony than we might be dis posed to inagion, at first sight, from the present discouraging reports of this our firm experiment in the Chinese marked. The quantity of madal-

130

wood landed per Bandicoot amounted to 38 tona, 13 ewt.. 3 quarters, and 13 be, or 650,05 picula, from which a customary allowance of 3 par comi has to be deducted—this amount to 19.50 plcala, leaving 630.55 picule net, which sold at 4 dollar? 60 crate; total 2,900 dollare 63 cents. The char quwers 4 por cont, 89 dollare 00 cents ; learing | Apr. 2,810 8p. dollars (3 cema net proceeds.

"This curtainly is not a very sooooraging prios: for exporters, pocially after the maguine expec tations that were formed of the value of the article la Chiva; but even supposing this to be the come- mut value, it will better answer the purpose of the setilers to send sandal-wo?d, which can always ba procured, in exchange for Indian produse, "than money, which they bars not always at commend We are far, however, from thinking that there may not at olber sesions be more demand for uLD- dalwood than was the case at the time of the Ban- dicouts arrival The merchants at Hongkong ware fully aware that the cargo of the vessel must be sold to lay in the decomsty returns, and it is shay to imagios they would take advantage of the besity indeed the very parties who bought the cargo of the Bandicoot expressed their intention of keeping the cargo of the William W’ise (of which vessel they had adviens) for a month or two, in order, it may be prosumel, to avail themselves of better offers than they could get at that time. Another incident leads' us le bape for u moru fa. vourable prospect. The Hawk isiled on her first voyage this year from our port on the 35th Feb, and arrived at Bingapore early in April ; she mai | with a randy mla for her cargo al 6 dollars per picul, and advices were recently received from one of the leading houses at Singapore, dated 9th September, stating that sandalwood was study at six dollars per picul, and recommending that the wood should be sent 6 to 7 feet in length, &c. Now there must have been aruple times for the mer. chants al Bingapore to have received sewn from Chion as to the state of the market between May and September, and they curtainly would not have advised their correspondent here to continue his shipments, if, as la sinted. 3,000 ton ware lying at Hongkong unsold

The cause of the low price realisad on this oc- casion may, in our opinion, be accounted for by the following combination of circumstances: There are buttwo mercantile bouse, of any sote in Hong- hong-they have all the business of the place, and any not bara thought it worth their while to give much attention to so small a consignment; the ?bligation of selling immediately at any price to prodore a returo cargo; and, lastly, perhapu ar- riving when the market was full.

As to the reports that the return was greater than stated, we do not give them one moment's credence; we have seen the scoount sales from Dent & Co., and even if that had not been the case, were too well amurod of the veracity and integrity of the gemleman who conducted the business not to be convinced that, although it unfortunately happens his speculation has not proved so pro abla na might be wished, for his own interest and that of the colony, he is the last person to rosari to duplicity of maso subterfuge in bis account of the transaction.

REMARKS ON THE MARKET. IMPORTS.

Cotton Goods-The market continues in the same samtisfactory viata, very few sales have been made during the week and those at far from paying prices. Importers complain of this as one of the most unpro- fitable seasons they have experienced. We have board of miles of the fine Carancianes at 05). Cambayas both Turkey, Red and Blue are dull of ale even a reduced raica. Musling of all sorts are selling at a considerable loss on cost. The market is overstocked with all description of piece goods, and only some fancy patterns of coloured goods asil to any prost in very small quantition,

EXPORTO.

Suger.-There is no demand for corrent quality, but still the holders of the raw material are not - clined to submit to a reduction in price, sufficient to induce the clayers to make purchases. In our opi nion, it will take some time before a considerable re duction takes place.

Indign.-Without demand.

Cofe.-Bome purchased at ● 6ja 071.. Hemp--Large purchases have been made at $51 per picul unscrewed. and not a picul remains in importers hands--It continues in demand,

The qunccel is, strictly speaking, of very ancient standing: the German, ne partially German, province of the Danish kingdon having bren ruled for centuries by prinors of their owa, and having never at any time cordially acquiesced in the supremacy of the Danish Crown, to many respects indeed, the Garman racen in Denmark gained considerable advantages over their antago nima, especially during the eighteenth century.

It was thus that in the Duchy of leswick, whare the popula tion is mingled Danish and German, the German language was until recently in general use among the upper closure; and exclusively an in the courts of law, as well as in the provincial diet, when I was established.

The prosent is a favourable opportunity for in pressing upon the Chinese the manifest advantage

of freighing Europena vessels for the coming trade; and no better way can be devised for the troduction of such vessels as carriers than first employing them for defence. The general adaption of a conroy will give the Chinees a confidence in European skipping, and probably pave the way for an extensive freighting trade between the ports open to Foreiva commeren. Ei appoare, however, that to check irregularition, legislation is neccssary, and we trust that such rules will be enacted as will prevent the British flag being granted to those who may make it a cover for depredation and plunder. The present regulations for the registration of boats are worse than useless; by driving small trading ressels from the port, they have materially injured the nativo dealers, and in no way are they preventive of piracy and crims, while it is notorious that by complying with them the lag bas been raised by few of whom will acquaint themselves with the real cedareputable Chiness.

Besides, how were the officers' wives who carried their baggage, and so my own car- ringes, to get nerost For this purpose, I proposed rafts to be me from branches of treee, cut into longtha and lashed together and passed torose by a rope, formed from the long bree which grow downwards from the branches of the large tree on this bank, resembling hundreds of ropes of various thickness. These extraordinary Obres are sometimen 30 sad 40 fost long, according to the height of the branches from which they grow, and are extremely sough. They are pliable and of gral strength. When they reach the ground, they insert them selves somo leptb, and again take root, from which other trees spring u wards. They frequently form a colonnade of considerable extres along the book of the rivers and resemble mangroves. My proportion was not approved of, and a council of officers being held, it was in a short time duorained to adopt rather a novel method, which it may be interesting to describe, As I have al ready stol. large trees, of a species which I have previously mentioned, grow on the banks on either side of the river.

These poles, owly cut, were tied fibres banging perpendicularly from the branches of the larger trees, and wer then attached i succession, borizontally, till they seach the hanging fibres of the trees on the opposite bank. After having fired two lines of poles across in the manner I have described, about one yard spart, short pieces of wood were cut and placed across, and small boughs, and grass or ronds placed on the top, so that a suspension bridge was thos simply constructed in the short space of belf an hour. The whole party then paared over in safety. I was informed, in re ply to a question that this is by wa menos en invention of the Dabomene, but has long been practised in Central Africa, especially in time of war, and where the rivers are out 100 wide, floating bridges are also constructed in a similar manner, where the above method cannot be adopted.-Dunoon's Trumis in Western Africs

It was "the sword of the the doctrines which Dr Perry advocates, no anti- Lord and of Gideon" that won the booned libertien of England; chanting the same canticles that choerad the heart of Jodah amid their glens, the Scotch upon their hill-sides achieved their religious freedom. Then why do these Baxon sad Cekic sosition persecute an Ambleo mco, from whom they have adopted laws of sublime benevolence, and in the pages of whose literature they have found perpetual delight, instruction, and consolation!

We may further state, that by the courtray of the Lord Provost, who certainly shows no desire for concealment, the members of the Press are allowed to be present at the examiantions, although, for obriene, reasons it would not bejudicious or fair, in the present sings of the busness, to report progress.” A short-hand writer has, however, baca engaged by the cominiftre, whose record of the evidence will, no doubt, skozity furnish ample information to the constituency in referenos to all matters roa pected with tha unfortunate and melancholy affair.

Cotton Geeds.--The arrival of the Oquando from Liverpool and Jususe from Bingapore has occasion ed some more activity in the market than before, but the lateness of the season operator as a check

The supply of plain and cul-ured goods, by chase raurels as we have already mentioned, has been considerable, and sales of suitable prints of Hdk?. have been made at fair prices, but almost every other description of coloured goods seated with out demand.

'The certain increato of the consumpilon of coal

In the Eastern sens, from the causes already mieu. lionew, and the opening of other channels of demand, cannot fail eventually to augmentihe use of Borneo cunl, "The projected steam communication between Singapore and our Australiwa volonica-tha probe able communication by the same tiener, at no dia- tant period, between the various Brivak settle meble to the entward of the Cape of Good klupe and the west count of America-s well as the system of railways now about to be established in India-are events eminemily calculated to occasion so immen consumption of Burneu coal, the ads at be supplied at comparatively moderate rates. Namplem of the Labuan and Betico, coal have been brought over to the country by Mr Wan, and submitted by her Majesty's Government to a careful extin

and analysis by composent parties, with a most on- tisfactory revolt. The Horico coal has also been

pronounced by the Calcutta Coal Committee, ap-

jointed by the Bengal Government, to be equal to

the best English coal; and Captain Wallion, in

his report on the supplies of coal obtained from the scam at Laboen, for the use of the Honourable East India Company's steamship, Nematis, dated Bura wak, 10th June, 1847, observes r “I have no hesi tation In stating that the cool received at Lmbung is equal to any English con) ( baru acea vo bound steamers in Ladia, and decidedly later than any cal

worked in India for steam purposes.”

The portion of territory contemplated for the first

operations of the Eastern Archipelago Company

purtenses a climate and soil edmuzbly adapted for

iha tuliuse of colton, tobacco, sugar, coffee, ncs, dolmega, pepper, and other valuable productions, and is most favourably situated, having the adran age of Labuan, now subject to British dominion, as a poisi d'appai; mor own there be a doubt of the ax cellent position of the proposed field of enterpriss for an extensive and fucrative commerce. The perrinity of Java, Somatra, Siam, Cochin China, Hainan, Manila. ?eleban, &c., is not only of great | importance in thin respect, but also as sffording the mesas of introducing with facility from those plac Chinos and other colonists, and labourers to any extent required for the service of the Company. Laboon itself will form uns evnential link in the chain | of our Eastern settlements, from Penang, Malsore, and Singapore, to Hongkong ; and in the district of Farawak every protection and encouragement will | be granted by Mr Baooxa in furtberades of the Company's obj ?eja. In short, every circumstance justifles the anticipation that the late proceedings of of the British Government relating to Borneo, if followed up with tigour by the operations of the present Con-pony, will change that which has been heretofore a region al pitney, lawless violence, danger, and desolation, into a serno of busy, peace- ful, and beneficial commerce; bringing the advant ngon vf progressive civillestion to a large and fertile tract of the globe, and conferring extensivo benef er the commerce and manufacturen of Great Bertain. The philanthropist and the statesman, so well so the merchant, will thus feel intversted in this design.

THE CHARTISTA (From the Times)

The 10th of April, 1818, will long he remom. based an great feld day of tha British Constitution. This is a season of trial, and the Governments of Europe have had their days of reckoning out after nuother with more or less dumage. Powerful ar- memente have failed to ronoun the Suvereign or the iw from the auit of an oppressed or offended people. This empire, we may confidently way. hos now had its ahere in the European crisis. Patrons resulta were hoped or feared. Provincial demagogues had assured their innocent dupes that a revolution was to be expected without fail before sunset, The Charter was to be hoisted late the constitution, so easily as the bundles of parchment into the House of Commons. The republicans of Paris were prepared to express that ung enlified faction in our chango which they cant yet feel in their own. The day has come, and is gone, As far as it is possible to estimate and to reckon upon any bumin erent, it will auly nugment to a most incalculabla degree the confidence of the British public to their existing institutions. The spectacle will not be lost on thong nations which are yet in the vortex of change. They will konw where to look for the stability they lang for. Usp. pily they will flod in vas of the ancient European visurkvod of autions a safo model of constitutional (reodem. It is not tr'umph over Chartism that we are claiming ; nor do we charge on thom opinions any necessary contradiction to the spirit of the British constitution. On the contrary, we fully admit that the "six points of ike Charter" are hones: und allowable doctrines. No one can pretend that our representative system is free from abuses and scan dala, which demand a continual rather than a final reform. Nor, ngein, do we think the main body of the Charles compromised in Moolay's pro- ceedings. They are in general peaceful subjects, though ardent puliticians and Radical reformers, It la ovidons that in this unfortunate instance their "I convention" has been wrented out of thole bands by a band of surreptitious delegates in league with the sanguinary Dublin conspirators; and that dur ing the past week, Mr F.

The doctrine laid down by His Lordship was entirely in accordance with the opinion hold by the British residents of Canton, but it appears Bir John Davis was determined to adhere to his own obstinate will. On the 22nd of Sep. tember he writes Admiral Ingla?ehl, ----

In communicating this last assault to the Foreign Office, Bir J. Davis treats it as a very sligh affair; enclosing an extract from a letter written by Captain MacDougall as containing

To furtherance of his unworthy scheme, Sir John Davis wines Viscount Palmerston on the 25th of August,—

On the 24th of July, Rear-Adoniral Inglefield arrived to assume command of the squadron, and as a matter of course he disposed his vesels according to the wishes of the Ple-

nipotentiary. The correspondence regarding the riot of July 1845 (reviewed in the Friend of China of 1st and 4th September, 1847) showa that Sir John Davis and Bir Thomas Cochrane both opposed the sequest of the Canton ras- dents that a small steamer be kept near the factories. The doctrine that British subjects resident in Chinese ports should be left wholly unprotected, lost the sight of the force sent for their protection should irritate the mob" wer repeatedly urged upon the Foreign Recretary.

There is every reason

to believe that had the three foreigners not escaped to their boat they would have been murdered by the villagers of Cha-tow on the 24th of October. On the 8th November the Vice Consol was fired at in passing a fort below the factories; and on the 14th of that month Sir John Davis had the hardihood to assure Lord Palmerston that the present times was an improvenint on the state of things before he entered on office. He further states that the Gentlemen attacked at Che tow experienced no personal violence or injury. Trae, they wore ant burt for this simple reason-the peo- plo could not catch them. On the 29th another lattor is addressed to the foreign offion. The British Residents aro oharged with having on home falas reporta; Lord Palmerston is com- plimented for having sent an uncivil reply to a memorial from the merchants of Liverpool; and that Association told that their fright ful dreams have not boon realised," Could Sir John Davis have known that the events of one short week would test many of his state- ments he would not have written the follow- ing paragraph, every word of which is an

The writer of the letter and Sir John Davis understood each other no doubt, and Mr Macgregor's official report was not considered fit for the foreign office; but in announcing that redress had been obtained, Mr Macgregor distinctly refers to an assault committed by lad wantonly throwing stones at himself and party, the Roldiers placed on the walls to preserve order having been remise in their duty in not preventing them.

We conclude our present extracts with Viscount Palmerston's letter to Mr Booham expressing the satisfaction which the govern mant derived from Sir John Davis's despatch of the 29th November 1 On Saturday the pa pers will be continued, commencing with a dorpatch to Viscount Palmerston, written by Bir John Davis immediately after bearing of the FIwang-chu-kee murders.

Bir John Dards to Viscount Palmerston.

Victoria, Hongkong, August 25th, 1847. My Lord-Rear Admiral Laglefield having found that the Plate stemmer, anchored of the foreign fac toria at Canton, was in need of revictualling, sent an order with my concurrence to the commandez to proceed down to Hongkong for that purpose.

I believe the Canton factorias wer? naver lean in nd of the presence of such a vessel than at prosent. The congreg tion of vagabonds about them has been put an end so; there is an offcient Chiness guard al the Conso-Ace, and the final blocking up of the old thoroughfare and landing-place in the midst of the factories (now a site for the church) has given them a degres of quietness and security to which they were before strangers.

Under these circumstances, the Rear-Admiral might perhaps have abstained from sending the tramer op again, but sa gradual changes are always most advisable on such occasions, the Pluto will re- tarn to morrow or the next day, when revictualle, and hereafter, should the continuanos of perfect tranquillity seem to justify it, he can avail himself of the discretionary authority conveyed in your Lord. ship's despatch of April 14, to withdraw the stentor if oot required.--1 have, &c.,

Though no personal violence or injury was ex- perienced on this occasion (and I may add that soch has been the character of late instances), 1 lost no time in requiring reparation for the inauk, and on the day of my arrival bare forwarded the annexed now to Kaying.

It is obvious that Keying would not be disposed to attach mach importance to what the Consul did not mention until three days after it bappened.

I therefore lost no time in addressing the inclosed strong ante to Keying.

The 42nd Regiment was on the eve of embark- ing for Madras, but Major General D'Aguilar con curred with me in the advimbility of purpending their departure until a full satisfactory explanation, and, if necessary, reparation, had been obtained from Keying.

He adds in the same note, that the rioters at Che tow on the 24th October would, brides, fog ging, be paraded in the wooden collar near the c Lories, with their offence inscribed.

Victoria, December, 1887.

Papers relating to the murder of six English men in the neighbourhood of Canton in the month of December 1847. Presented to both Houses of Parliament by order of Her Majesty, TO-DAT we have made a selection from the official communications previous to the murders in Noceaber last, commencing with Sir John Davis's do patch to Viscount Palmersion of dato 25th August 1847, and coding with one of 27th November and its two inclosures.

perusal of theso papers confirms the very general conviction, that in order to bolster up the foolish expedition of April, and his own re- putation, Sir John Davis was deceiving Her Majesty's government as to the feeling enter. tained towards foreignore by the people of Canton, and that he was aided in his mis chicvous purpose by the Military and Naval Commanders of the expedition. To acquire bastard reputation at the foreign office, the Envoy did not scruple to miere present facts, to malign all who were opposed to his weak, fickle, and tortuous policy; and to sacrifico the Ives of his unfortunate countrymen. He may not be impeached before the national tribunal -but allowed to sink into that congenial obscurity from which he was imprudently drawn to dia- grace the diplomacy of his country, and to earn for himself the unmitigated contempt of Her Majesty's loyal subjects in China, who with feelings of regret, were ultimately compelled to shun as some thing polluted and impure the representative of their Sovereign. The Military and Naval commanders are cen- surable, in having in a degree countenanced and aided the Envoy in his deliberate and long continued scheme of deception,

The first scribtiled himself into a regiment (an honour and source of profit which he never could ac quire by the sword), bestowed upon him to the manitext injury of many a veteran who was heading columns in the field when he was filling an easy billet in some of the offices con nected with the war department. The second has not received the order of the Bath, which he perhaps earned by the courage displayed in placing in irons the drunken Bol. diers sont on board the Vulture on the evening of the memorable 1st of April,

In furtherance of his unworthy scheme, Sir John Davis writes Viscount Palmerston on the 25th of August,—

"I behere the Cantos fociorios wern waves loon in nood

On the 8th October Sir John Davu sailed for Cochin Chine in the Fulture steam-frigate taking with him the Ringdove sloop of war. In his absence Major-General D'Aguilar assumed the duties of government. The Major-General availed himself of the opportunity to amure Loni Palmerston on the 21st October, that

rebelding"

Three days after the Major-General pended this, an attempt was made to murder threa of his countrymen at Cha-tow (one of them was afterwards murdered at Hwang-chu-kon). The General was rather in a dilemmins, but he tells the Foreign Secretary, that though these 00- casional acts of aggression on the part of the lower onlers, mid especially of the village mi- litin, must be expected for some time in como, will," they do not affect the improved condition of things at Canton, or the change of manner and demeanour that has come over all the re- poctable and influential classes of the country." The Governor returned in time to enable the Major-General to add a paragraph to bis des- patch; but be it remembered that from the th to the 30th October, not a single pennant was nearer the factorios than Hongkong, and the event of riots that part of that time ovon tardy protection was only available by withdrawing the solitary vemel of war in this harbour.

There is every reason

to boliove that had the three foreigners not escaped to their boat they would have been murdered by the villagers of Che-tow on the 24th of October. On the 8th November the Vice Consul was fired at in passing a fort below the factories; and on the 14th of that month Sir John Davis had the hardihood to assure Lord Palmerston that the present times was an improvement on the state of things before he entered on office. He further states that the Gentleman attacked at Che tow experienced no personal violence or injury. True, they were ont bart for this simple reason—the peo- ple could not catch them. On the 20th another lattor is addressed to the foreign offico. The British Residents are charged with having ang home false reports; Lord Palmerston in com- plimented for having seat so uncivil reply to a memorial from the merchants of Liverpool;

In communicating this last assault to the Foreign Offici, Sir J. Davis tronts it as a very affair; enclosing an extract from a letter written by Captain MacDougall as containing clear account of the occurrence. It was stated by the government paper that this letter was written to a brother officer, and therefore it should not have been used officially. At the time, it in true, we expressed a doubt whether the "brother officer" was not fir John Davis himself (Friend of China 1st Decembor) and from the language used in referring to it, it would appear that Bir John is the "brother officer." Connected with this affair it is remark able that Me Macgregor's official communica· lion was not transmitted to Her Majesty' government at all. It may be asked why was

I belides the Canton factories were aver lose in ward of the prearnon of such a vravel thas at present. The congreg tion of ragobonds about them has been put an end to; there is an effant Chinese guard at the Consco-Anwar, and the final-blocking up of the old thoroughfare and landing place in the midst of the factories (now a site for the church) has given them a degree of quietness and recuray to which they were before strangers.

Under these circumstances, the Rear-Admiral might perhaps have sbstained from sending the steamer up again, but as gradual akangen ars always most advisable on such occasions, the Pluto will re turn to-morrow or the next day, when revictualled, and hereafter, should the continuance of perfect tranquillity seem to justify it, he can avail himself of the discretionary suthority conveyed in your Lord. ship's despatch of April 14, to withdraw the steamer if not required.-1 have, &c.,

The objects of this Company are to carry on mining, ogricultural, and trading operations in the Eastern Archipelago, and the acquiring and dispne- ing of lands in the island of Labuan and the paria ad- jacem,—a region abounding in mineral wenkh, moet feride in all the valuable tropical productions, and very happily situated for the purposes of commerce. The island of Labuan has been formally taken possession of by the Crown of Great Britain; and by a treaty with the Sultan of Bornoo, many highly important advantages are permanently secured to this country. Piracy in the Eastern Seas will now bo effortoally enppressed ; and under the protection of the British dag at Labuan, a new era as regarde those regions has commenced, which affords the met favourable opportunity for muccessfully accomplish- rug the objects of this Company.

To those who are at all acquainted with the la- dian Archipelago, it is wholly unnecessary to ex patlate on the advantages to be derived from this undertaking. The important discovery of an abon- dant supply of excellent eos on the mainland of Borneo, in the immediate vicinity of Labuan, is a circumstance which, of itself, would reader this en turprise pregnant with the most beneficial results. A formal grant of this coal, extending through a district of about 150 miles, has been obtained from the Baltan of Borneo, and is, with the approval of her Majesty's Government, now held by ble Wus with whom arrangements for its working will be made.

THE FRIEND OF CHINA AND HONGKONG GAZETTE.

WHO SHOULD BA tue Hanoxam—A friend of oure suggests that if the ber bay of hanging criminals is to be persevered in, on religious grounds. It ought to be considered a religious ancrifice, to be pecformed, in obedience to the alleged Divine command, by the highest ecclesiastical wuthority of the diocess in whicb the offence is committed, and not by the outcast whose life has been spared that he may be the destroyer of others. We can imagina Mr Gilpin urging this suggestion with impressive effect. But if the Bishope had to siljust the Doors, draw the bolt, and pull at the legs of their upended fellow-creatures, we strongly suspect they would listen to a religious argument on the other side of the ques tion—such as the following:-Lady-Tron, nic, but still I think a murderer in so dreadful a character that he ought to be pet to death.

Chin, of the main den name of Ho, of the Hang-kesou village, and widow Le of the maiden nimiu Mo, of the Kennu- pesou village, severally reported me inspection their respective sons Chin-a-ckin and Lea-keen, who they stated had been shot by foreigners in the out- skirts of the 11wang-chu ke village. It was found on inspection that the body of Chin-a-chin bad a hat wound on the left side of the brassi, which had really caused his death; and that Lax-keen bed a shot wound in the fore part of the right side, which had a very grava uppoutance, and had ren- dered him speschless. The results of the Insper. tion were then separately entered into the forms, and orders given for the shrouding of the dead hody, and the medical treatment of the wounded person, &o.

In reply gave orders to urge on the proceed. inge vigorously, and to use the wimmt diligence in forcing the gentry and elders to deliver up every non of the principal murderers who beat the En glishmen to death, in order that they may be pro- secured bad punished.

On examination I find that the Chinese lawo on giving life for life In cases of morder ars severe; and as this case is moreover one affecting the re- Jations between the two countries, it will, still leas than others, permit of the slightest degres of perver- sion or remisettes. The whole of the inhabitants of the villages are however not alike, there being among them both good and bad; and in this affair justice will not be rendored for the dead, nor a warning given in the ignoment and foolish, unless we succeed in inflicting coudiga punishment on the tras and real murderers, And the real murderers, again, onu only be scoortained with truth, uppre hended and delivered to the authorities by the gen Uy and eklere of the public halla. Hencat ordered the civil and military commissionera in the caan to lead troops to the place la guration and establish themselves there, as also to close up ibe ancestral hath of the gentry and people, and thus foros them to deliver up the murderers with all speed. The commisionero have now reported to me that the gentry and elder having yielded obedience to their commands, using the utmost diligence in sterah ing out the murderers in order to deliver them up, and that they will probably be obtained within a few days. As son as they have been conveyed to the suthorities, they will be rigorously punished in so cordance with the laws. Decidedly there shall not be the slightest delay or comlaanera.

On the 18th I received the anntend ansone, in which a mon inadmissible attempt is made to reduce | the question to a matter of writhmetic, and, becavan ons Chinese was killed ant oan wounded by the six murdered verama in self defence, to execsts only four of the murderers, restrning the rest for minor p?- Nisknoute. It is also propuest that execution alig be doon at the ordinary plors for that purpose, iu- lend of the locality whore the maniere wera com mitted. The example would thus be logolher lost to the villagers, and it is moreover very probable that an equal number of condemned criminala umali be passed off for the real murderers, which would only aggravate the evil.

The villagers in question become all afraid as soon as the authorities commented their proceed. ingu; and the guntry and elders have agreed to the liver up the roarderere without having dared to make the least contumacious apposition, proof that the people have a sense of the laws of their Bovereign, I shall therefore be able to coerce them; and your Excellency need not cause yourself trouble with over anxiety on my account.

In this you stain that becauso one of the villains who attacked my Dountrymen was killed, and another wounded by them, you will executa only four of the murdereri. But three villagers had often openly declared that they would kill any foreigner who came there; and the six persons murdered by them only defended themelor when they were attacked with weapons Your Excellency talks of their being beaten to death; bt they were some of them deliberately tied up, and then put to death with weapons, as appeared on ex- amisation of the bodies.

The British Government will certainly consider injury, and as no better than mere markery. It is your present proposition as only an addition to tha

On the afternoon of the 20th 1 recsired Keying's o cumple whatever to the villager avent as to the place of execution; and it was agreed it should take place at 7 o'chack the follow ing morning, in presence of my officers. The Pluto aerardingly proveeded, at daylight on tho 21st, to the village, having on board Mr Johnson and a number of officers, with the light eompany of the 95th Regiment. The ground was kept by

the Chines and English force, and an Imaient crowd was collected at some distance, though in perfect silence and order. The four chief ariminala were brought forward, one by one, to the cratie uf the square, and their heads struck off; while their alout and healby appearance proved that they were countrymen recently from their work, and not erkningly out of geol. Indeed it is impossible to imagine that, to the presence of the villagers them selves, the Government for its own anke could der

grade itself by such grove subterluge. Inclosed is Mr Johnston's report.

Inclosure No. 4 in this account. forwarded to me by Keping of the trials and sentences of all the Bfteen prisoners, but the incts are evidently per eod. Of the eleven reserved for punishment, after reference to the Criminal Board, one is rent- tenced to decapitation, one to strangulation, three to military banishment for life, and six, who only naisted in throwing the bodies into the river, to 100 blown and shres grass banishment.

Sir John Davis to Ommini ner Reging

4'anton, December 18, 1647. I have received your Excellency's note detal yesterday. It is therein erroneously stated that six murderal Englishmen fired pistols and killed

Chinese, in return merely to the shout of the vil lagers, and were put to death on the spur of the mo- ment.

PAPERS RELATING TO THE CANTON MURDERS. (Continuation.)

Sir John Davis to Commisti ner Keying

Victoria, Hongkong, December 25, 1847. I have received your Excellency's note dated the 2516 Instant, regarding protection to British subjects.

This le the subjret of the First Article of the Treaty of Nankiu, and it has been dolly more ginly vilated at Cauton. Your Excellency has constantly told one you were willing, and also able to ford this protection, but the outrages have daily increased until six British aubjects have been murdered, some of them after being taken. The testimony of the Chinese witnesses has been for- warded to Vusca-pt Palmerstun. My Goven- ment will therefore consider it necessary to bring the matter in a settlement.

I may add that the marchents' address to your Lordship does not mention that the young men who fell victime the mob had plotole in their posanation, sad that they killed ans bad wounded another of the Chinese.—I have, &c.

MANCHESTKE MARKET REPORT.

Car boma ti 14 demand has been on a rather extensive scula, giving evidence of the generally preoperous state of the country; and should we this year be blessed with an abundant harvest, we do not think it will be going too far to say, that Leform the close of it we shall find ourselves in s greatly improved position; having then, within ourselves, the eleme?la carential to a high state of protnetity.

A decline has taken place latterly in the activity which had for some time prevailed in this depers. ment of our trade. The advice from the N. West have been unfavourable in consequence of thresten ing disturbances—the rates of internal exchango have been high ~and the doubts and uncertainty at present tending the opium disputes have kept the ininda of the Maworries in a state of alar?n and ex citement and fonded to estrict the demand for the up country marketu.

Captain Cule appears to have erred from not being aware of this, and perhaps he was in some degree lod away by a desire to make prize in sight of one of Her Majesty's cruisers.

Tus following letter to the Foreign merchants of Canton appears to be from the Chinese owners of produce, and has reference evidently to the arrangement made by the British Cham- bor of Commerce last year for reducing the Linguists fees upon imports and laying part of

the burden upon exports.

It is only fair that the Linguists should in part be remunerated by the owners of produce, and so far no objection can be made to the now arrangement; it is to be feared, however, that they have made this arrangement a cover for extortion, and that in reality they draw more from the foreign trade now than they did before the import fees were reduced. Not having received any information further than is contained in the document itself, we lay it be fore the public with these few observations:-

During bla arvion la the East he has not ly proved himself to possem in an eluent depres of the highest quali?cations of a military com- mander; but, in achieving this reputation and by the way, as it wars, ba bas managed to converi a past-house sam, and to move na smeunt of human life and human su Burlig which in already almost beyond the bounds of calculation.”— Englishman.

Ou Bengal contemporary is a little malicious incribing this filmome panegyric ta ue, We always looked upon General D'Aguilar an good hearted but wank headed man, easily led by those brought into immediate contact with him. The barracks about which so much Jabeen written (they were illustrated in a Landon paper!) are placed in one of the most healthy places on the Island, and an apoci. ma of architecture beneath criticism. The officers quarters, containing some twenty habit- able apartments, com about ? 90,000. There

only accommodation for ton inmates allowing. ach two apartments, and for the money ten comfortable houses each having a couple of elling rooms, four or five bed-rooms, out-houses, kc., could have been built.

Our contemporary the China Mail is cor- tainly a most zealous partisan.

It will be seen, however, that in attempting to bally the Spe alah government, His Lordship, to use so Amer. ionism, “barked up the wrong tres." British merchants of necessity submitted quietly to the insolence of office, but when Ilis Lordship pre- sumed to dictate to Spain, the haughty Cani. linon throw his despatch in his teeth, British

By the Titania we received a file of Western Australia papers, from which we gather that the Swan river settlement is by no means in a very Bourishing condition.

The Enquire intimates that a Deputation gentlemen engaged in the Sandal-wood trafe "waited on Itis Excellency in Council accord- ing to appointment." The Deputation stated that the Bandal-wood trade was a new branch of Colonial commerce, but that in consequence of the heavy burden laid upon it by the govern- ment in the shape of licences it would inevita bly be crushed unless the tax was at once taken of When the herden was imposed by the Executive it was calculated that the wood would realise from ?39 to ?10 a ton, but the ben price obtained in Singapore was ?21,10., from which had to be deducted 30 per cent for coerges and insurance. The wood is of an interior quality, and when hrought into compe tition with that from Malabar and the South Sea Islands it can only be sold at a depreciat ed rate. "His Excellency promised to take the subject into consideration, and would give ibe gentlemen present an answer with as little delay as possibly. The deputation then retired, expressing themselves much gratified at the courteous manner in which they had been treated by His Excellency. The same after norm the following letter was received by Mr Sains, who headed the deputation:—

The following Proclamation announces that the three inen convicted of piracy in January, last, on the unsupported evidence of the Ap prover, Too-apo, have received a free pardon from Ilis Excellency the Governor. It will be in the recollection of our readers that Too-apo was afterwards convicted of extorting money under a threat to charge others with piracy, and that the two men sentenced to Transpor tation for life on his evidence were about to embark in the General Wand, but were kept back by the Governor that he might esquire into the cireumatsROOS.

There cannot be a diferance of opinion as to the use His Excellency has made of the high prerogative with which he is intrusted, as it is certain that no Jury would have given a verdict knowing that the witness Too-apo was turning his infamy to a profitablo-account. The wonder is not that the men are pardoned now, but that they were not pardoned long ago. The China Mail alleges that,--"His Excellency could hardly be expected to exercise his pre- rogstive of pardon against the advice of the Acung Chief Justice and the Chief Magistrato,

The European troops were thus provided for before General D'Aguilar arrived; and the marked improvement in the health of the gar rison in 1944 and 1845 cannot be ascribed to the new military buildings as they were not ha bitable before 1948. The admirable system of sewerage and drainage carried out by the local government has also added greatly to the salu- brity of the garrison. It was of sufficient noto- riety that in the summer of 1914 the troops were wonosarily exposed by "nopetunt drill, and that overal of the 99th lost their lives by being marched from Stanley in a burning sun. At the time, General D'Aguilar was severely censured by military men, as will be in the recollection of those who wore then in the colony. The years 46 and 47 wore remarkably healthy

BALLY. In our last isene we gave a lengthy ac- count of the proceedings of the Dutch at Bally and the disastrous reauk-an-ingloriaos defeat The whole expedition appears to have been singularly mismanaged, and its failure attributable to shear ra ness on the part of the Commander in chik, whose ill concerted plan of attack and other arrangements could hardly result otherwise than they did. Th strength of the Balinese is rudely estimated at fra 50,000 to 100,000; and this numerical superionny is pointed at as sufficient to account for the failure of the experition. Buch exaggeration of numbers is a mers subterfuge: that the Balinese could mustar 60,000 or even 100,000 fighting men there can bu no question, but that no such amount were opposed to the Dutch at Djags Ungn is pretty clest.” The account in the Javascha Courrat (of which a trans lation was given in the Straits Times of Tuesday last, and which account must be received as demi n?lzu)," states that the enemy numbered three times tha strength of the Dutch; it is therefore only accesary that we ascertain how many Dutch troops were t Rally in order to deride the amount of the opposing force. Certainly the enquiry dors not reflect much credit on the Dutch; —it is a poor shield under which terk sheker. Bir Charles Napler with his gulsot hand of 2000 men, hesitated not to attack 20.000 Seindians; and he did so, he says, in the belief that the 26,000 of to day would be augmented to 60 000 to morrow *—→s principle which the Dutch comman der nimed ut bat foil for short of the mark. The force which & Boezoekne was, we believe, us stated in our last iseur; the strength of the Baliarse oppoved to the Dutch at Djaga Raga sould not harn umow ed to 10 000; the number of transports employed to convey troops and stores for the expedition would in dicate that the Dutch forre was nearly as before stau d, The expedition which left Borgnekne between the 28th of May and 3rd of Juss consisted of the fol- wale on being beated, which before showed no plowing:- whatever.

Shortly w?er daylight we ducovered the fortifications of Djaga Raga, situated on an eminence a few miles inland, and the tieneral, thinking to produce an impression and then throw consternation into the minds of thi enemy, then resolved at once to ouk Djagu Buga, and to carry it by a coup de main.

Hitherto our progress had been easy. and comparatively uninterrupted, except by the on- Lural obstractions experienced during a slow and continuous march.

A couple of weeks ago we extracted from the Englishman an ironical review of an article in the China Mail giving a sketch of General D'Aguilu's military career in Chios: on the 2011 ultimo we also took an opportunity pointing out some egregious blunders com. mitted by the Gonacul's friends in necribing to his messures the great improvement in the health of the troops during the period which intervened between the summer of 18-3 and

General D'Aguilar's intentions, and his earnest desire to protect the troops; it is the mistate- ments of his friends that we object to; they detract from the merit of others, to build up a meretricious reputation for their idol.

The fever has not inade its appearance on board the ships in the harbour; nor do we hear of any serious case among Civilians. In the China Mail of the 10th instant, there is another display of the ignorance, arrogance, and malignity which have acquired for it an unenviable notoriety.

The three columns of editorial amiabilities commences with a reply to an article in the last number of our paper reflecting upon the impropriety of yielding up to the Governor of Macao, deserters, slaves, or others who sook an asylum in this colony-uplers it can be clearly shewn that they have been guilty of felony.

The China fod as a matter of course do. fends the Government from the charge of having violated well known principle of British constitutional law, in the repeated sur. render of military deserters on application from Macao. The Mail supports his position by the following quotation from the treaty with Por tugal arranged only six years ago,

It is agreed and covenanted that neither of the bigh extracting pasties shall knowingly or inte, retain En damerke, any subjects of the other pany, who have deserted from the naval or milkary service of that other pany, bai that on the corsary, aneb of the contracting panties skall respectively discharge och draerters, BEING REQUIRE ET TILE MTHER PARTY TOBJ 10"

The treaty proceeds to provide for the re- covery of apprentices or seamen who run away from their ships, on the usual application being marle by the Consul

The wording of the clause referring to mili- tary and naval deserters is sufficiently clear The contracting parties agree not ta "receiva into or retain in its service any subjects of the other party who have deserted," they further

ROMOURED DIMATISFACTION IN TITH ANDY.- The attention of the authorities has recently been drawn to paragraphs originally appearing in sow of the Irish papoja, and which have been copied into several English journals, to the effect that diastisfaction has manifested itself in peresul of what are termed Irish reglinenia. It has been,

in most instances, discovered that the paragraphs in quastion are given as from a correspondent, and that they are by no mean positive no to Encta Without, however, entering imo detail, it may be positively stated that the writers are propagating the most barefacted falsehoods. Again it may be observed that the torm Trish regimenta is not at the present moment applicable to any curps in the service, as the recruiting for each regiment has not for many years back been confined to ane particu ta district of the country. It is to be hoped that both the English and the Irish Soldiers will take warning in time, as there are spias at work in all directions. Messrs Meagher and Mitchell rest onlar the delusion ut there is a majority of Trishmen in the army. It is, however, a fact that such is not the case. —Exami?er,
