Tne New York Herald has, it seem, taken alarm at the formidable list of British and French war steamers, publi•loql in the last letter of our restless protector, Admiral Norris; and the Times notices the fact, appareutly, with the view of showing that the Americaes are about to ereamence a career cf ri valry with the overgrown armaments of the European nations. But we b - g to remind our contemporary that the Herald is not the American people; and, un less the latter have suddenly taken leave of theircha racteristic sagacity and common sense, this, of all mans, is not the time when they will depart from the policy which has hitherto guided them in their naval and military expenditure. If aver there was a speo tacle calculated :o deter imitators, it is that which the warlike expenditure of the old world, and its consequences to the nations of Europe, offer to the calm observation of the people of the United State,. Let them not be dazzled or stunned with the sedates of our airy-four pounders, but lock behind the flame erd smoke, and ask a little informa tion hem our financial reformers about the cost of these pyrotechnic eahibitien,. Let them, to use one of their commercial phrases, take stack, and ascertain the profit and loss of the system. Oar CHANCELLOR of the EXCIIIQUER, or M. PANT, could supply them with some excellent materials tor count ing the cost of an European parses establishment. Do they want an English er a French budget P If so, let them eommenc arming upon the NAPIER model. The lively editor of the Herald winds up his article with an appeal to the Secretary of the Navy, " Will Mr. PRESToN be good enough to put on the steam ?" We hope he has ere this got for reply, " Will the citizens of America be good enough to pat their hands in their pockets for twenty millions of dollars additional per annum?" At the present mount the Americus have, we believe, only one line-of-battle ship at sea. T heir naval f orce, which consists mainly cf small Teasels, is well adapted for the wants of a maritime people in time of pm., by enabling them to be present in as many places a 9 possible, to newer the demands of a commerce which extends to every nook and corner of the globe. This is the only kind of force which can really be of use on such a micron. Hun three deckers are not useful for a marine police. We might jest as cell think of employing field-batteries or cavalry in pursuit of pickpockets in cur streets and alleys. If the Americans determine to have their squadrons cf 120-gun ships, they must use them for political purposes. They will find Mat a losing game. Their government is stronger, even now, for any diplomric contes', whilst backed with a prosperous, contented, and comparatively unburdened people, than it would be if it had the French and -English navies at its disposal, with the taxes necessary to sup port them, together with the suffering and dissatisfac too of the people which are felt in gagland and France as the consegnence cf these large establish ments. Even in Europe men are beginning every where to look behind the mere demonstration of force, and to estimate the strength of nations less by the amount of their armaments than by the efforts they could sustain in case of hostilities. Tell us what is the number of articles which, in America, is left untaxed, but which, in England and France, is already to the gripe of the tax-gatherer, and that will be an evidence of latent power quite as intelligible to the statesmen of our day as if the amount of the difference was already in vested in " Vultures," " Cyclops," and Dragons." Nations hive so far outgrown their childhood that they no longer require scarecrows to be set up to warn them from trespassing . on their neighbour. rights or property. The Amencarm have had some proofs of late that European governments are not disposed t presume upon their ready-made arma ments by entering into &contest with a comparatively unarmed state. France has suffered the greatest provocation at their hands, short of a declaration of war, in the abrupt dismissal of their minister at Washington; yet no do not find M.DaTootioeviLLE taking advantage of the undoubted superiority of France in ships of war. And why? Becalm' no body knows better than the author of " Democracy in Americo," that the existing fe roes are no teat of the comparative resources of the two countries. All this is perfectly well understood in the United States; and never, we believe, was there leas inclina tion than at present to waste their resources upon an useless demonstration of armed force. It snits the Times, in opposing a reduction of our armaments at home, to take up the argument with the Herald, as though it were dr aling with the public opinion of tumor cm u,as rotucking JOUIGIII rs more of an Englishman than an American; but here is an extract from a New York paper, of considerable moral weight, which, we believe, fairly represents American sentiments: If unhappily there shall ever exist a prospect of hostile edibles between Great Britain and the United States, so intent of disproportion in the se/feria of war, though for every plouahsbare or pruning-hook possessed by the ox. the other wields a spear or a sword, will afford even a pro bable index of the result. That will be determined by their latest national power, derived from the resources of the people—which the pruning hook and ploughshare help to create, and the sword and spear, even in time of peace, to waste—fro n the public spirit that animates them, the degree I of civil liberty they enjoy, the justice and equity of their laws, and the rightemunem with which they ar e adminis tered, and from the operation of all other influences that tend to make them happy and contented, and attached to the institutions which secure their prosperity. leis not then to effect as easy and satisfactory adjustment of national dif• femme, that the harden of • large and expensive military establishment is to be endured. Let the Americans adhere but for a verfehort time long. r to their present wise policy, and they will see the disparity between their armaments and thous of the old and embarrassed governments of Europe, re moved by a process which will be alike honourable to those who give the first illustration of the superiority of unarmed industry. economy, and freedom, even in the resources of war, over permanent war eetablish ments, std useful to those nations which will be com pelled to follow in their footsteps. Public opinion is tending in Europe towards the policy of the United States. What is the meaning of our peace congresses, of the great meet ing at Exeter Hall next Tuesday, at which members of the National Asembly of France, acid councillors of state, are announced as orators—what do these demonstrations portend but a change of our European system, and an advance in the direction of those moderate peace establishments which. in Ame rico, have lest in the pockets of the people capital enough to contract their railroads and build their mercantile marine, and which, according to the opi nion of hi. MICHEL CIIEVALILR, would, if the esta blishments in Frame, bad been on the same footing, have given to that country double their present length of railways, and doable their present amount of mercantile shipping ? Thu Jury hays found both the MANNINGS ell?:and sentence of death has been pronounced on Fora case in which no human eye beheld the murderers, the evidence wu remarkably complete and conclusive. Ontheafternoon of the 9th of August aCcarNott was seen about a quarter to five on London Bridge by three witnesses, to one of whom he said he was icing to the Maxtrutcs' house, and showed the note of invitation from the female, in consequence of which he was going. A little later he was seen by e. fourth witness within a hundred yards of Minver-place. No other person has appeared who saw him after wards till his body was discovered in the Mew winos' house on the 17th of August. The body was found deposited in quick-lime in a hole dug in the floor of the Merermos kitchen, over which the flags had been replaced. A pistol bullet was lodged over the right eye, which must have =through the brain. The skull was also much ed. The body was satisfactorily identified. O'CONNOR was seen alive for the last time about five o'clock of tne afternoon of the 9th of August. About an hour later Mrs. MANNINO appeared at his lodgings, where she remained in his apartments alma for an hone. Next day she rept ated her visit about the risme hcur, and remained abut se long. On the first mask° she appeared pale and agitated. When O'CoNnori's repositories were searched, his money box was found o ea and all his money and abuts bad been abstracte d. A little before 7 pm. of the day en which O'Cox- NOR WOJI last seen alive, FREDERICK MANNING WU seen sitting on his garden ws mined there about a quarter of an hour and then re entered his Mose. On the 13th of August, the MANNINGS sold all their furniture to a broker, and on the same day they ab ecocded, flying in nherent directioce, and taking great ptecautiona to prevent the possibility of their routes being traced. MANNING, on the 11th of August, received 1101. on account of Eastern Counties' shares which had be longed to O'Coreston. lie represented himself as ..: IMO& on that occasion. When MARIA MAN NING was apprehended at Edinburgh shares which had been the property of O'Coloron were found in her pommies. Some time previous to the murder, MANNING made repeated inquiries of MASSEY respectine the surest anew of stupefying a person or killing him quietly. lie asked what drugs would produce stupefaction ; Iwhat part of the head was meet vital ; whether an air gun nude any report when fired; and whether he thought murderers went to heaven. On the 28th of July MASSEY lift the house of the MAANINGs, both the husband and wife having urged I him to quit. In the course of July MANNINO offered to eell all his furniture to the broker BAINBRIDGE, and MARIA MANNING took part in negotiating the sale. On the let, 2nd, and 3rd of August MARIA MANNING consulted a share-broker, respecting the percher° of shares which she could sell on the conti nent without her husband's consent, and when asked where she was going hesitated for a considerable time before elm replied, to Paris. The slack lime was purchased by MANNING on the 28th of July, sod delivered to him; next day MARIA MANNING paid the messenger who delivered it for his trouble. A crowbar was ordered by MANNING on the 25th of July; it was delivered at his house on the 28th to Mrs. MANNING, who complained that the price was more than she expected. A shovel with a sheet handle was purchased by MARIA MANNING on the Bth of August. The body of °Toreson watt found imbedded in the slack lime, and the shovel and crowbar were found in the MANNINGs' home. Neither FREDERICK nor MARIA MANNING deny that O'CoNtroa was murdered in their house. Etch sake to trznsfer the suspicion of having struck the blow to the other. Here is a chain of circumstantial evidence which ' irresistibly briegs home the_ guilt of the murder bothi to FREDERICK and MARIA MANNING. The body of O'Connor', bearing undeniable marks of a viulent death, is found carefully burette' in a house which they inhabited alone. Two hours of er the time that O'CoNNon is seen fot the last time alive,. proceeding to their house and in its immediate vicinity, FREDERICK MANH NINO is seen sitting alone on his garden wall, and MARIA MANNING is seen to leave O'CONNOR'S apartments which she had entered an hour earlier, and remained alone the whole time. MANNING, as suming the name of O'CoNNOR, receivers two days later mosey for a part of the murdered man's pro- perty, and some of O'CoNtioa'a property is found in the possession of MARIA MANNING. It is impossible to fancy that MARIA MANNING would have proceeded to rifle the repositories of O'CoNsox unless she had been certain that he could not come in upon her while in the act ; or that MANNING would at the time have left (Mormon alone in his house unless certain that he could not quit it. The ridding the home previ ously of their only inmate was the joint act of hus band and wife ; the previous negotiations for dispos ing of their furniture were their joint act; both took part in procuring the instruments for concealing if not for effecting the mur der. The deed is committed in a place from which they bad jointly taken precautions to re- , move every witness; the previous arrangements for concealment of the deed and for their own escape are I taken by them in concert; the property of the mur dered man is traced to the possession of both. Each —MANNING directly, and his wife by strong implica tion—accuses the other of having committed the murder. Not a shadow of doubt can remain that a cold bboded, lere;-premeditated murder, with a view to robbery, was committed on O'CONNOR, and that bill of the MANNINGs were active participators in the crime. We abstain from any attempt to raise the veil which hangs over the previous conduct of the mur derers or their victim. The tale is one of callous ras cality, utterly common-place in kind, though not in degree. There is no light thrown by it on the ter rible secrets of human depravity, to excuse the dwell leg on inch revolting details. We leave to a content porary, partial to such them e, to the" eminent pub• fisher" who is about to give ANNING'S memoirs to the world, and to the artist who is said to be in treaty for his drawings, to expatiate on the " talent" shown in his poetry, or the artistica' merits of his " excellent drawings." We leave to those scandals of the English pr e, who delight to re-produce the loathsome prurience and brutality of a certain school of FteCeu novelists, without one spark of their equi vocal talent, to record the adventures of the wife. Unfortunately there is a public that has a taste for such themes, and of course creatures will be found to ponder to it from sympathy or for mercenary conside rations. The only moral we can extract from the shocking tale is one addressed to the selfish fears of the guilty. The intelligence, energy, and organisation of the police ; their prompt and skilful use of the railroad, steam-boat, and electric telegraph; the sagacity with which they elicited and combined the conclusive train of circumstantial evidence: all tend to show at what hopeless odds crime has now to contend with justice. The knowledge of this will not make bad men good, but it will paralyse their arms when braced and i ndeed for the perpetration of great offence,.

CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 10.—On the night of the sth the 4kurnan internancio, Count Starmer, re ceived a despwch from Vienna, stating that the Austrian government fully approved cf the step; he had taken relative to the Hungarian refugees, and desired him to remain at Constantinople till the courts at Vienne and St. Prtersborg had agreed upon I further measures 'ar the maim. _ Last week a secretary of Kossuth was recognised in Smyrna among the congregation in the Autrian dm oh of St. Maria, and was immediately arrested by the Austrian consular authorities. Admiral Parker, who is stationed at Corfu on receipt of a dispatch from the English ambassador at this place, Sir Stratford Canning, bee quitted the harbour with seven ships of the line, and has railed in the direction of the Dardanelles. ' The Berlin Na? ehriehten speaks of a nate addressed by Austria. Russia, and Prussia, to the Swiss govern ment, in which the latter is earnestly exhorted no longer to suffer the focus of the European revolutions to remain in Switzerland. It is thought that France will address a note to the same effect to Switzerland. INDIA AND CHINA. THE OVERLAND MAIL. Oar despatches, in anticipation of the hi-monthly Overland Mail arrived last evening, being overdue at least five days. The cause of this delay appears to have been tho detention of the China mail at the month of the Bogue four days, in consequence of the disturbance. at Macao, where the Chinese have mur dered the Portugutee governor, details of which events wilt be found below. It would appear that in consequence of this deten tion neither the `fadras nor Bombay begs were put on h oar d t h e s t eamer consequently, the only dates we have to report are from Calcutta, gepi. 7 ; Singa pore, Sept. 5 ; Hong Kong, August 30; Macao, August 23 ; and Canton, August 27. The subjoined intelligence from India is selected from the papers we have received. INDIAN SUMMARY. (From the Bengal Ilurkary) Peace reign" throughout the length and breadth of India, from Peshawur to Poorce, from Caahmeer to Cape Comorin. This happy state of tranquillity is of course unfavourable to the production of news, and we cannot, therefore, recommend our annals of the last eighteen days as being either interesting or im portant. The Panjaub continues quiet, being undisturbed even by the breath of rumour, and we may believe that the settlement of the country under the benign 1 rale of Britain is proceeding satisfactorily. Even the 1 mutiny at Rawnl rindee, which appears after all to 1 have been more formidable in the possible than the actual, and which was promptly and peaceably got ander, has ceased to be a subject of discussion or a source of anxiety. The affair, as now described, i seems to have originated in some defective arrange ment which bailed in the retention of the " Seinde cantonment allowances," due to the troops, just at the time when the "Mode marching allowances" were in ordinary course withdrawn. After a day or two of passive resistance to this grievance the mutinous sepoys gave in, and asked for the pay which they had previously refused when offered, and which was then given to them as a favour. This business, however, though so happily concluded, has suggested the some what startling question, "Is our government to continue to pay these Scinde allowances' to its troops in the Punjaub to the tune of 30 laths a year ; or if it withholds them, what will be the re suit?" It has been supposed that the disagreeable alternative might be evaded by the s'multaneous re lief of all the native troops employed in the Punjaub and their replacement by others who have not known the sweets of the extra allowances, and consequently will not have reason to resist their withdrawal. But it is somewhat doubtful whether a change so ex tensive as that required is immediately practicable. Tce usual annual relief is now due, but is not yet an nounced; and it is said in some quarters that it will not be notified till the Commander-in-Chief has visited the Punjaub to feel the pulse of the troops there. As yet no public official intimation has been given of the fate decreed for Moolrsj ; but it is stated that his docm bas been formally announced to him by his judges, and that it is transportation beyond the seas for life. Singapore, it is further said, has been fixed upon es the place of his future abode. The unfortu nate man is reported to have declared that be would have preferred death to exile, and few there are, pro bably, who dould discredit the assertion. The autho rities at Labors have, it seems, thought it necessary to put their prisoner in iron!. Lord Dslhousie, Lord Gough and Sir Charles Napier continue at Simlsh yet ; but the Governor- General and the Commander-in-Chief will, it is un derstood, move t..warde the Punjanb in all next month. Sir Charles keeps up the interest of his ge neral orders by occasional ontburs's of his own pecu liar style of literary eloquence and eccentricity. He lately dictated the reprimand to be read to a subal tern, convicted of a few hours' absence from duty, and therein reproached the offonder with having taken pay for his idleness from the East India Com pany, " many of whom are poor and suffering people." The passage is too curious to be omitted : You, sir, made no scruple to take your pay from the pub lic treasury for the honest execution of this duty ! On the day when you abanioned your post, and went off to amuer yourself at Calcutta, you received a certain amount entrees in pay sod allowances. This money you took from the East India C..mpsny, many of whom me poor and suffering people; and you did not do the duty for which you were paid by those pier people. In Calcutta the police commissioners have hill another public sitting for the examination of Mr. /*Mane, the deputy-superintendent, who has till lately been absent on sick leave. The evidence eli cited on this occasion has not tended to neutralise the effect of that previously extracted. The report of the commissioners will probably be before government in a few day& We have but little to record of local matters, and for this we must refer the reader to sub sequent columns. The commercial report continues favourable on the whole, beta slight falling off in the demand for im ports is noticed. The wind-up of the indigo crop is described as more favourable than the most sanguine could have anticipated. It is expected that the out turn will be not less than 1,20,000 mannds. Exchange continues stationary at la. lON. for fird class bills at six months' sight.

P2MISWilit. —The communication with Peshawar has apparently suffered considerable interruption on account of the heavy rain. We have news from thence only to the 11th (the latest letters are to the 14th inst., but they have no news). It is, we regret to say, not favourable to the health of the troops, which is reported to be anything but satisfactory. Colonel Lawrence was himself laid up. The hill tribes, too, do not seem at all inclined to follow the peaceable line of conduct they professed themselves anxious tor, and we shall not be surprised to learn that the local authorities will have thought it Lecessary to reoommend their being chastised during the ensuing cold weather, and ezesnalled by force to abandon their nresent predatory habits and incJoivioas. Lieut. Pollock Did beer. on his way to his district, Bannco, and the baggage of Lieut. Dansey, on the way up from Mooltan Peshawar, was plundered when within 30 or 40 miles of the latter place. A party of irregular infantry and cavalry sent out to watch the plunderers were attacked; the infantry got in rear of the enemy ; and the result was that the party sent in on the 10th of August two heads, one man severely wounded in four places, and two prisoners. We regret to have to announce the death at Peshawar, from chronic dysentery, on the 18th instant, of Lieut.. Col. McLeod, C. B , commanding H. M. Gist Foot, and she at Julandbur, on the 21• t instant, of Capt. Sam. Tabor, of the 7th Light Cavalry.

Eta CHARLIE NAPIER AND 61111/ISANT BENINET.—We (Bombay Tines) so/join the following letter from the Com mander-in Chief of India to Colour-Sergeant Bennet on his having been the first to mount the breach at Rooker'. It was one great secret of the popularity and success of Napoleon Bonaparte, that no one was too humble to escape his notice, —and in this S.r C. Napier has throu,thout his career re sembled the gre st soldier the continent of Europe ever beheld. Sir Charles has made two trifling mistakes : Mr. Bennet was color-sergeant, not serjeant-major—it was the breach at Seringapatam, not Ahmedabad, Serjeant Graham was the first to mount,—though we believe it was a serjeant of the " Old Toughs" who planted the colours on the walls of Ahmedabad:— " Calcutta, May 20, 1849.—Serjeant.Major Bennet, — When, in 1847, I ',resented the Fusiliers with their new cohurs, I sail that the men of our days were as good as those of former days. I was right, and Mooltan has preyed every I word. In Livia,' times Serjeant-Major Graham (if my memory scree' roe correctly), of the Ist Europeans, planted the old c lours on the breach of Ahmedabad. lie did • gallant action, and when you planted the British standard on the breach of Moultan your deed was as brave as his, and as renowned. The officers, non-commissioned officers, and privates of the Ist Europeans, in both presidencies, have sustained, and even if posable surpassed, by their valour in the present days the gtori,s of the put. Tell your comrades that f rejoiced when I heard of the fame which you have all gained for those new colours that I had the honour of pre suiting to the regiment in Sciude.—l remain ycur sincere well-wisher, C. J. NAPIER, Commanderin-Chief. P.S. I should have written to you long since, but de , 'eyed till my arrival in India." The coincidence is striking enough assuredly, but Sir C. Napier seems only aware of one-hX of it. Maj •r Mignon, I who lcd the Fuailien up to the breach at Muatcan, is the son of Vol. 'Mignon, who, cxaetly half a contury ago, led the flank companha of the Bombay army at the storming of Saingapatam. THE PENINSULAR MAIL. The Oriental Company's steam packet, Jupiter, Captain Francis Meehan, arrived at Southampton last evening, and landed her mane under the charge of Lieutenant P. Rainier, RN., admiralty agent. Her dates are, Gibraltar, Oct. 19 ; Cadiz, 20th ; Lisbon, 22d : Oporto, 23rd ; and Vigo, 24th. The very shameful robbery perpetrated at Vigo by the authorities in the case of the British emigrant ship, Pearl (rays a correspondent), ought, I think, to be broight forward. The Pearl having Asiatic cholera on board, Font in there and demanded assist arx.r. She was offered the alternative of either pro ceeding to sea or discharging all her cargo at the I.a zarette ; and the mate being ill and the master dead, the latter alternative was perforce adopted. Not content with the exorbitant fees demanded and paid for the landing of her very valuable cargo, not a night passed during the time the cargo was as4.ore without thinks and cases being clan destinely opened and robbed. No one be bulging to the ship was allowed ashore a'ter sunset, and had it not been for a bribe of about 60/. given to the Alcalde, the peculation and delay would have been still greater. Many of the trunks thus opened were worth 3001. or 400/., and, of course, until the ship's arrival at her destination the amount pilfered cannot be ascertained. The widow of her unfortunate master, as well as one of her own ers, came home in the Jupiter. While in Gibraltar the Jupiter encountered a very heavy gale at east, and on our return to Lisbon we found two vessels, a German ship and an English schooner, diemasted. The news from Portugal will be found in the let ter of our Lisbon correspondent : LISBON, Ocr. 20. I tad yon in my last letter that all were on the tip-toe of expectation here to know the result of the demand made by Viscount Moneorvo en the British government for satisfaction for the violation of the territory of .Macao by the redoubtable Captain Keppel ; and although nothing certain has transpired regarding Lord Pelmer.ton's reply, yet sufficient is whi►pered to have roused the indignation of the Por tuguese. The chiefs of the various parties with which the country has been si long, and is still so unhappilyl distracted, are now directing all their efforts towards the support of their partizans for the municipal offices. While the C-unt de Thomar is making every exertion to secure the return of the govern ment supporters in the municipal election•, his brother, Jose de Silva Cabral, is using every stratagem to foil him. Ot the loan which I mentioned in my last letter, it i appears 132 contos of reie was readily taken up in Oporto. The ministry hes also taken up a loan of 100 cc•ntos for the roads, which they were anthorisel to do by the Cortex, as the donations to carry on that great part of national improvement were not suf ficient. Some re luctions and other measures which the government have adopted, have caused an improve ment in the finance department. Inquiry into defal cations is still going on ; but the great measure with which the mirastry will hen, to contend hes not yet caused any remedy to be proposed ; I mean the Spanish tariff, of the effects of which it is yet impossible to give any correct opinion. I mentioned in my last that the authorities had for the present checked a Guenilla attempt ; but it ap pears • part have made their appearance nudes a Spaniard named Leon. Cavalry have been rent after them, and it is not positively keown whether they have a political object, or have been formed only to plunder the wayfaring. No decision hes yet been come to with re spect to the supplying Lisbon with water. The Anglc-lueo Company, it is expected, will have the contract ; but old proposals have been renewed by some parties requiring the government to modify their conditions, which arc in the course of being re ported upon. The Governor of Gibraltar has been censured for the civilities eh 9 tei ii.e Duke and Duchess of Montpensier, and also for visiting them in Spain. The cross of Charles the Third, which the Queen of Spain conferred on that gallant officer, he has been refused permission to accept. In order to reduce expense, and incline more to wards a constitutional system, the whole of the na tional battalions have been dismissed on furlough—a staff guard being merely kept to take care of their quarters. The improvements in the navigation of the Tagus continue, the obstacles at the Villa Velha have been removed, and the works are going oa to make the river navigable between that place and the Abrantes.

Oa to turning, and within 150 paces of the Barrier gate, a Chime boy preheated him with a flower on the end of a bamboo. His Excellency accepted the flower, when the 1 4 1 struck him with the bamboo. He appeared to thiltd at first that it was some peculiar way of da -1 chinning, but on the blow being repeated, In stooped forward with the intention of rebuking the lad. Whits thus engaged he was attacked by fire Chingos armed with swords; they stabbed him in the side sad back. Having lost his right arm many years Sim In bads. Mr. Amaral took the bridle in his teeth, raising the len arm to take a pistol from the holsters, hut Moe he cull effect bin purpose the murderers bare him to the earth sad despatched him with many wounds. The head was tut Og leaving the lower jaw and part of the tongue a tt a ched es the trunk ; the left hand was also taken away. Ills aide-de-camp was weuneed severely by a cut on the head and a stab in the thigh. The remains of the unfortunate gar tleman were carried to Macao in the carriage of Mr. Forbes. This daring atrocity was committed at an hour when meet of the foreign residents take exercise in the ramps. Several gentleman spoke or bowed to the goverser within a few minutes of his assassination, and two wit neased the attack from a short distance ; being unarmed they could ten ler no usistanco ; but assistance would hate bees of no avail as the whole affair only occupied a few mintrt The murderers escaped in a boat waiting near the burr, taking with them the head and hand of their victim. , On receiving the intelligence, H.M.'s a ship Amason, sa l H.M.'s steamer Medea immediately prepared for tea. Ito day was calm, but they started at half-past I, pie , the Amason in taw cf the Medea. The American Knout Dolphin was in Macao harbour at the time, and the triple Plymouth has since dropped down from Whampoa; t.bi French corvette La B.yonnaiss has also arrived Rain ladle; these, with two English ships, form the squadron norat Macao, the Portuguese having no men-of-war in this part of the world. The body of the governor was embalmed and placed is 6 leadea coffin; it is uncertain whether it will be interred int:tics, or be sent to Europe ; in the meantime exertions are besot made to recover the head. Since the murder there has Mu much excitement, and no small apprehension of an attack. The presence of several men-of-war in some deee rotated confidence. The government, so far acts boldl y; but it nil be questioned whether it was prudent to provoke a savage war by capturing a Chinese fort, killing upwards of threw more of the Chinese soldiers, and sticking their ceptuad bead on a bamboo in the public stouts of the city. In shaft Macao, with an army of 450 men, and no fleet, bas made war upon China without waiting to hear the result of an application to Sets for redress and the eon' dign punishment of Governor Amarars murderers. They have assumed, and no doubt justly, that the Chinese autho rities sanctioned the murder, but Macao is almost deem* leas, and prudence dictates a conciliatory tone. An ! tuck on the Cana Branca is also talked of; bat the destruction of • small fort, and the slaughter of some of its defend, is an insult which no concession can easily atone for. It is to be feared that so far from receiving the Portuguer ran don favourably, Sen will demand terms which it is tUP O I' Bible to grant, and that the destruction of Macao will be determined on. We bristly note the occurrences since the murder on the 23rd.
