JR": rgi d th d rA° Z e f,, d a y s a go, but from what cause I don't know.—Agra Caro na*, SW- 2 . (From the Calcutta Star, Sept. 7.) A few days ago we were " frightened from our propriety" by the intelligence, through the_Dellq Gazeqe, that Lall singh had been assassinated while riding out in the morn. b e g. The date of the event was put down for the 18th, but it ultimately turned out that there was not the slightest foundation for the event. Subsequently a correspondent of a friend of a daily pi ner . here wrote from the Jullundur Dab to say that Lalt Si:ltrh had been " fiddled at last." There cannot be much differeZcfr of opinion as to Lall Singh's ultimate fate if he continues at Lahore after the British force shall have qu i tted it. According to the latest reports, he is very busily engaged in paying up the disbanded troops welt the money that is coming in from the provinces, and it is said that he is acquiring popu larity be the discharge of these arrears. Dewan Moolraj continues negotiating. In his latest protocol he states him self a be willing to pay the balance of eighteen lakhs re quired he the durbar, and to admit officers appointed by the durbar to the command of forts within his jurisdiction, but he asks, as a counter-agreement, the consent of the durbar to credit him with the value of the stores and monitions of war in those forts as a set off against the claim. The Dewan still claims English interference and arbitration. From feesbawur it would appear that the Yoosoofzaie insurrection had been entirely put down, and that Share Singh was on the batik of the Attock, preparing to follow up his success by a pursuit of the ringleader, Ureulla Khan, when he received a summons to appear at Lahore, giving up charge of his forces and functions to Chittur Si ng h. lie announced his readiness to obey the recta, and • s t a ted that a number of officers of his, who had been long awry from court, were desirous to pay their respects at the royal lere'e along with himself, a loyal yearning that was SSSS over-rudely chilled by orders to them to return to their I duties at Peshawar. Matters are evidently in states quo: all eves being directed to the British movements, and all , effort; to the fabrication of excuses for consuming time till ' the retirement of the British army leaves the " strong government" to manifest its capabilities. Major Lawrence as busy in the Jullundur Doab, and Major M`Gregor has woceeled thither to join him, the representative at the Durbar being Mr. John Lawrence, brother nf the agent. TILE JCLLUNDUR DOAB.—Seldom or ever have the quarters hurriedly occupied by troops in a newly-acquired territory received such commendations as those that have been bestowed on alnicst every station in the Juilundur Dab. Should the present season afford anything like an average specimen of its climate, it seems likely that our new territory will supply one vast sana torium to the European troops on the North-West i frontier. It is said that Loodianah is no longer to be main tained as a military post of any consideration—that station being about to be advanced to Philoor, one of the lately-ac iuired fortresses. 90,000/. had arrived about the middle of t wist to pay the batta of the troops. The farmers were ex tending cultivation in all directions, andlands which for a lo t z lapse of years had been wasted, were be ginning to he crop again, under the as experienced from our presence t at the husbandman will be fully protected, and enjoy the fruits of his labours. A slight disturbance had occurred be twixt the country people and the men of the 10th irregular cavalry, brought on by the grasseutters of the latter hav ing extended their operations into private property. It was easily suppressed, and so grateful do the people appear for our interference, so happy under our protection, that we are everywhere regarded with feelings of the utmost kindness and affection. A survey of the rivea Bess was in progress, with a view of selecting the most eligible place that could be found for the construction of a bridge to permit the Lahore force to return within the Doab, as well perhaps as to enable the troops in the Doab to ad vance on the capital at a moment's notice should occasion require.—The Jamoo chief is said to be strengthening his army; the rumours that he entertains hostile intentions to wards us are as yet unsupported. It is probably not in his nature to remain long on terms with any one without some dreams of treachery towards them. In Cashmere there appear to have been some slight disturbances,—most proba bly not greater than those which occur continually, though we now hear more of them front our closer proximity to the place of their occurrence. The rumours of troops mustering in strength on the frontier appear to have been extremely exaggerated; they are once more passing away. They seem to have arisen from the usual reliefs being made on a some what extended scale ; and from the embodyment of a couple of new regiments, obviously intended to assist in absorbing the disbanded Sikh soldiers. —Bombay Times, Sept. 15. AI:G. 22.—Three days ago there was a very current re port here that Lall Sing had been shot, but I am happy to say it was a false one, and the only foundation for it was that sonic native banker had had it in a letter from Lahore. General Littler, however, writes that as the Durbar is daily becoming more strong there will be little danger in remov ing the troops. The Governor-General is determined on withdrawing them in the cold weather, happen what will ; and Abercrombie, the executive engineer, has been for some days past surveying the banks of the Bess to form a perma nent bridge of boats at a suitable spot; so the Lahore force will come into this Doab in all probability. Every thing is so quiet here that no cause seems to exist for the prevalent reports regarding the formation of au army in this Loeb in the cold weather, and no preparation is being made either in the collection of grain or carriage. Letters received yester day from Simla still state that we are all to be relieved.— Mofriesilite, Aug. 28. JAMOO.—It would appear from the return of the Gover of the Hasareh province to Lahore, that the boundaries between the sovereignties of Lahore and Jamoo have been demarcated by commission. We have not, however, had any formal announcement to that effect. The Star stated, a few days ago, that a commission consisting of Mr. Vans Agnew, of the Civil Service, and Captain Cunningham, of the Engineers, had been appointed to lay down the boun daries between Golaub Singh's territories and our own, and also between Golaub Singh and the Tartars. The whole of the tales current about the time the last mail was de spatched, of differences between the British and Golauh Singh, and the latter's running restive ou being called upon to fulfil the stipulated conditions to which he had previously subscribed—are (we have reason to believe) without the smallest foundation, Several of our young officers have been touring through his states in various directions, on pleasure parties, or with scientific objects in view, and have heed uniformly treated with consideration and kindness. NORTH-WEST FRONTIER--We learn from private letters that the dubious aspect of Lahore politics has deter mined the stay of the Governor-General in the neighbour hood of that country. The political officers have accord• ingly prepared to lecate themselves at Simla during the ensuing year. Lord Hardinge proposes to tour through the Jullunder Doab and along our frontier, holding a grand fair at Hooshearpore (eviler, wide-awake town), and it is not improbable that his lordship will follow up with success a consolidating and peace policy, if the sequence of events across the Sutlej do not compel a recurrence to arms. We have heard nothing further of the expected army of observa tion, the reports concerning which we noted last mail; but we have confidence in Lord Hardinge, that he will not hazard a second campaign like that of 1845-46. There has been a slight disturbance at Ferozepore between the Hindoos and Mshomrnedans of some corps there, in which blood was drawn and life lost ; but we believe the matter has been fully inquired into and the causes of disunion removed, as well as the promoters of the disturbance traced. At Loodianah we have probably been saved by an individual accident front a repetition of the dreadful loss of life which the last mail we see has occasioned ouch a sensation in Btu/land. The debris of the unfortunate 50th (Queen's) not finding sufficient accommodation in their own quarters, and the Horse Artillery being now cantoned at Umballah, a general order was issued to fit up the former hospital of the Horse Artillery for the use of the 50th. It appears the preparations went on for some time, when on the 12th August the falling of a pillar, which killed a mason employed on the repairs, seems for the first time to have suggested the necessity of an examination into the trustworthiness of the materials constituting the original buildiug. A committee was ordered to report, and they reported that the building " should be condemned as totally rotten an 4 unserviceable." AITGUANISTAN.—The reconciliation of the Ameer Dost Maliomed and his son has been followed by consider able devotion to business on the part of both, and events have furnished them with business enough. The chronicler of the Delhi Gazette reports that the Ameer held a general muster of his troops, and to ensure attendance circulated an unofficial rumour that its object was to pay up their arrears. Whether the review was brilliant or otherwise the deponent does not testify, but the rumour appears to have been the cause of serious disturbance. Finding their pay not forth coming, the artillery seized their commander Shah Mahommed Khan, as a hostage for the performance I of what they considered a promise, and the, mutiny assumed a formidable appearance. Force was at first sought to be resorted to, to crush the demonstration, but the infantry were found to be as refractory as the artillery, and concession as the alternative was then attempted. A sum of money was forwarded to the artillery and a solemn promise with it, that their arrears should be discharged within the following month. The measure wassuccessful, but the next day the infantry followed the example of the artillery and mutinied for pay I. They too achieved success, the Araeer being compelled to borrow money for partial discharge of the arrears. And there the matter rests, till the Ameer's peomiasery notes fall due. There is some mysterious hint Fit en about a negotiation endeavoured to be opened by the Ameer with the British, a thing we apprehend considerably more likely than any nego tiation with the Persian sovereign. The source from which we draw, which will be found in another column, talks about the Ameer wishing the British to be 011 the same terms kith hint as Shah Soojah, and says that he (the Ameer) " is most willing to receive similar support on the same conditions, being most anxious to enter into a treaty by which he might derive some benefit." We have little doubt , d the sincerity of the Ameer in such a wish, seeing the !ite.e of his treasory as above evidenced. What a Whig Itrdstry and a llobhouse Board of Control may see fit to cio with Central-Asian relations, remains for the womb of time to show. The notorious Ameenoo lah has been released at the intercession of the Candaliar eirdare, and so has Sultan Jan Khan; both nc.aies familiar to the readers of the numberless vo lumes generated by the Affghan campaign. A vakeel from Balkh 11:d presented himself at Cabal on behalf of his master Attalek Beg, begging assistance against the Bokhara tyrant. At first the Amcer fought shy of a specific answer, but on being pr.,sed stated that two of his sons were going to the nautili countries, and that when they had accomplished the work they had to do in that neighbourhood, they would proceed to otter their services to the Balkh state, if requisite. =O 1 t m I i i a G "i .- I After the general Ohileaee insurrection, we no longer hear any thing, but as the new arrangemsmts at Cabul are un derstood, the parties have suspended their private feuds till the judgment by the Ameer had finally been pronounced. A small disturbance had however broken out much (probably) outmted, in consequence of the refractory I conduct of a Ghilzsee chieftain. But the Ameer had taken I very serious notice of the whole affair and ordered a large draught of troops to the spot. It was, however, probable that nothing serious would result from the disagreement. A severe fit of opthalmia had incapacitated Mahomed Ukhbar for business, but it was expected that he would be all right again in a very short time. He was expecting his bride, the daughter of Yar Mahomed, the Wuzeer of Herat, with her splendid dowry. We do not pretend to estimate its value, but should not fix it at any tremendous sum. BOMBAY LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Mr. Farrant, chief magistrate of police, has resigned his appointment, being about to proceed on one year's leave to Europe. He is succeeded by Mr. 0. Grant, judge in the Sudder Adawlut —a gentleman of the highest probity and uprightness, and of much intelligence and experience in judicial matters. Colonel .Dunsterville. commisaary-general, takes command of the Deesa Brigade, in the rofeu of Bristlier-General Hughes, who retires for u time in consequence of inditposi tion. The departure of so popular an officer as Colonel Dursterville is a source of deep and general regret at the pre sidency : he is expected to retire from the service and pro ceed to Europe in March or April next. Captain David son, long deputy-commissary-general, now takes the heed of the department. All these appointments are considered judicious, and have given very general satisfaction. Mr. Goldsmid, lately acting as secretary to government in the territorial department, while Mr. Pringle was provisioual member of council, has proceeded to take up his appoint ment as collector at Poonah. A very laborious duty, that of arranging and translating the documents belonging to the late Peishwa, referring to revenue and territorial mat ters, has been imposed upon him, but few men are b^tter fitted to discharge it, or more likely to do so satisfactorily. —Mr. D. A Iliane, revenue commissioner, arrived at the Presidency, and tool: his place as provisional member of' council under appointment from the Court of Directors, on the Ist instant.—The hon. the Governor and his family,i who were summoned back to the presidency before they had completed their intended sanatory sojourn in the Deccan, arc about to spend a month at Khandalia until the heats of October become moderated at Bombay. They will occupy the mansion of Sir Jamserjee Jeejeebhoy.—The rains since our last have resumed again, though the fall has been extremely moderate. The monsoon appears now to be draw ing rapidly to a close, and we want only the Elephanta, with its thunders and lightnings, to clear the sky, when the fair weather may be looked for as set in for the season. The esplanade bungalows begin to be set up again. THE LIBERTY OF THE PAPA:, The conduct of Captain Durand, commissioner of the Tenassesim provinces, to the proprietor and editor of the Matdmain Chronic/e, has drawn down the censure of acarly . the whole newspaper press. The proprietor of the Chronicle had rendered him self peculiarly obnoxious in consequence of the animadver sions on government which appeared in his paper. Shortly after this, having lost his foreman, the paper fur some weeks appeared without the printer's name on the imprint. It was by no means certain that the Calcutta regulations enjoining the observance of this, were intended to apply to the l'enasserim provinces, which are beyond the limits of Hindostan altogether: but government having intimated that they should hereafter be made to apply, the proprietor of the Chronicle immediately remedied the omission, which had occurred apparently through accident or inadvertence. This was not enough ; and he was sum moned before the local court to defend himself for the vio lation of a law at the time it was not known to be in force in the province. Having spoken will perfect respectful ness and propriety in his own defence, he was fined 301. for contempt of court, and a second attempt at exculpation was met by nearly a similar visitation. Finally, his print ing establishment was shut up, he himself ordered to be im prisoned for the space of two years, and to be mulct in a penalty of 3001., for the violation of the es post facto press regulations! The arbitrariness and tyranny of the pro ceeding is unheard of : it has not met with one single de fender. There has not, as yet, been time for the interfer ence of the supreme authority : it is to be hoped when this occurs, the extreme indiscretion of the commissioner will be visited as it deserves.—Bombay Times, Sept. 15. From the Madras Atheniruns, Sept. 12. THE NIZAM'S DostmoNs.—Until the last few days our accounts from Hyderabad were to the effect that the expulsion of the Kohillas from the Nizam's dominions was not likely to be carried into effect, our Resident, General Fraser, having, according to native reports, received instruc tions from the Supreme Government to abstain from inter ference in the matter. Our latest intelligence, however, which extends to the 31st ultimo, informs us that the threat ened expulsion has at length been commenced, though whether partially or generally is at present uncertain. A party of the Rohillas, amounting to about five hundred, surrendered to a detachment of the Contingent which had been soft against them, and which was afterwards sent to escort the prisoners half way to Elliehpoor, where another detachment had orders to relieve them. A story is afloat to the effect that by the time the relief took place about two hundred and fifty of the Itobillas had made their escape, and that but few of the remainder accompanied the detachment to Ellichpoor; and since General Fraser has issued orders for the seizure of the fugitive Rohillas wherever they may be fallen in with, there appears to be some truth in the rumour. It will be no easy matter, it is supposed, to drive these obnoxious parties altogether out of the Deccan, but assuming this to be effected it will be still leas easy to restrain their turbulence elsewhere. Territorial acquisition cannot beano.% ed them wherever they may be deported to, and the only alternative left them therefore will be either to perish or subsist by plunder, " which last resource," as a Veal con ; temporary observes, " would be only a way of arriving at the same end, and by a different process."

The China mail of the 27th August contains the following " news of the day," taken chiefly from the Peking Gazette THE COUXT.—Tatikwang has shown great anxiety in determining how various characters used in writ ing the names of princes of the imperial family may be ab breviated, so as to have a short farm for common occasions. This apparently trivial matter becomes important when it is considered that any writer who does not conform to the pre scribed order, commits a serious crime, and is liable to heavy puoi-tnent.—Two eunuchs lately deserted from the palace, which caused great excitement, as, through their knowledge of the secrets of the harem, they had the power of divulging some unpleasant facts. One of them gave as a reason for his leaving, his desire to accompany the remains of his father to the tomb; the other said he had broken a dish, and was afraid he would be punished. They will be put is the tor ture till they acknowledge the true reasons. King Woo uch-tung, a near relative of the reigning monarch, and a very old courtier, is dead, and has been buried with very high honours. His name very frequently occurred in the tattle of the court. Certain clerks, attached to one of the tribunals, have been accused of systematically receiving bribes fur a number of years past. As, however, facts in rious to the characters of several of the high officials would be disclosed during the investigation, the affair is likely to be hushed up. A distant relative of the emperor has hanged himself at bluukden. He had been im prisoned for some time, and was to have been whipped. This appears to have preyed upon his mind, and led him to commit suicide that he might escape the deFradation.— The President of the Board of Rites has received a multi tude of presents from his master, and appcan to have seavehed the dictionary for the hardest words its which to el - press his thanks, and this he does at such length, that the address occupies nearly a whole Gazette. One of Tadkwang'. Sommer pa'aces has been plundered. The robbers have lacen discovered, and are now standing their trial. When the hst deliveries were made from the Mint, a great deficit appeared in the issues, and the cash was not of the standard weight. The coiner, have been accused of embezzlement.— , A very considerable stun has recently been voted for carry ing on the hydraulic works. It is much to be regretted that so many millions have been expended so ineffectually in at tempting to secure the lowlands against the flood. The following are copies of the correspondence which has posed between the Chairman of the British merchants at Cant on and H. M. Consul in that city, respecting the recent distur;rances so injurious to British interests : COPY. —CAN"TON, Jeer 30. To F. C. Macgregor, Esq., 11.11. M. Consul, Ike. Sir,-11aeing reason to believe that the inimical feeling en the part of the Chinese against the foreign community is by no means abated, and that an operortunity is only wanting to induce them to vent their hostility, and to make a more formidable attack upon our lives and property than has yet occurred • may I respectfully ask it any Mee. sakes have been a, lopted by ghf. oovernment in this country for that protection whi, • we hope we, as British subjects trading here with Leaf sanction and under consular jurisdiction and authority, have a right to expeet The testimony of those long and tail mutely acquainted with this country, as well as recent farm and occurrence', afford abundant evidence that the people no longer enter tain that reverence for constituted authority whieh formerly tended to hold thew in check, that a democratic spirit is rapidly gaining strength and that the authorities in this place in particular have now little power, and are obliged, in order to quiet the people, to have recourse to deception and subterfuge. Such being the prevent state of things, it 10 not likely that we shall be able very long to calculate upon the tardy and generally inefficient aasistance now afforded or, and that it 14 more than wettable, that acting again in yam presence yin, thatat mucked ck f . : t: d da y .b)„,bt the and with your sanction, we shall be called upon to defend ourselves, his as It nder g t oL ue t nu' h v e n o . t d h o e l :sid u e ma m o n y f as on the late occaaion, and in all probability with more fatal cense- AMeriean gentleman passing quietly in a Hong boat through a creek notthbtee be n t p.earw wan aware, re' ef , people for three-quarters of on hour, that Blocks of granite were bridges and that but for the strenuous efforts of the boatmen, who were nearly all severely injured on the demean, and from the eir eumstanm of the boat being roofed, their lives would probably ham been sacrificed. This late occurrence, allow me to my, air, may gene. if in reality necevart to corroborate more fully what I have already brought forward, omit show more strongly that we are sur rounded by, and at the niereyof, anuneontralled and ill-disposed popu lace. I am ahe informed that the mandarins, in their yreient emannue catione still adhere to the same objectionable policy as that to which I took the liberty of directing your attention m my lettere( the 15th instant, and toe upon the Eaglet' as the only parties concerned in the lute affray, notwithstanding the core you took, as mentioned in your letter to me of the 16th Mt, to point out to the authorities that the foreign community, on the late occasion, acted tmeteer fur mu tual protection. It is evident that the contemenee of similar pulley on the part of the Chhame towards us as I have just alluded to. must, if allowed, be injurious to British interests, and I am grieved to say that notwithstanding our treaties, our proximity of (long Kong sad to a British military and nerd force, we are now treated with greater Motet-elect and contempt than perhaps at any former period when trade existed, and that that system of encroachment se readily practised by the Chinese, has also rapidly been gaining ground. As chairman ol the committee 1 have cone fiered it right to endeavour to impress upon you that there exists even more necessity now than before for affording lI.M. subjects and British property adequate protection; and it is not only the opinion of the whole omuuunity here, but I understand also of It. li. the Lieutemen- Governor and of the senior naval officer at Hoeg Kong, and if I am not greatly mistaken, of you, sir, likewise that, that pro tection can on:y be properly afforded to us by u vessel of war lying either off the factories or at Memo Passage, able at all times to render immediate aid. I he Wolverene, now at Wipe:epee and, I understand, placed at your disposal, avant semi 1.14, as you are well aware, any assedance in a shorter time than le or I hours, and I, therefore, hope that you will Ste the necessity of placing her M a position more likely to be of service to IL M. subjects. Whatever measures may be adopted, the British community wall feel that they hare not been wanting in repress ting to H. M. government in China the true state of feeling among the Chinese population, the precarious and unsatisfactory nature of their position as British merchant+, anal the serious inconveniences of tome likely to arise both to themselves and those at home from the want of adequate protection to British commerce. May I request the favour of your communicating the contents of this letter to H. M. Government at home.-1 have the honour to remain, Sir, your most obedient humblesereant, (Signed) A. Cut mime Chairman of the Committee. British Consulate, Canton, July it. Sir,—l received your letter of yeeterdayee date, In whiele after stating that you have remelt to believe that an oppor,unity es only wanting to induce the Chinese to rent Beer temility, and to make a more formidable attack on the limo and property of the foreign Dom munity than has yet occurred, you inquire, as chairman of a commit tee of British merchants, whether any measures base been adopted by her Majesty', government in this country for the due protection of British subjects. Ina circular I adelreved to British rear:Moats on the 9th instant I stated that "her Majesty's government. imperatively require that the Chinese authorities should not be interfered with in reprising the violence of the mob, unless they themselves slanted re quire our assistance." This restriction applies to any force from Bre dah vessels of war. Though on the evening of the but the authorities were somewhat tardy in deopatching aseseence to the fact Ties, it is not therefore to be interred that they hue: not the will or the pewee to protect we 1. Because the tumult Li quelled by their interference said authority, the place being perfectly quiet at this moment, and 2. Because from 200 to 300 soldier" are stationed in places mound she factories to preserve the peace, and these at night are joined by run ners attached to the district magistrate. Neither Awed it be inferred from the cireumetanee you relate of an attack upon some American gentlemen, in a creek on the opposite side of the river that any feel inge of animosity more than common actuate the populace at large, for the attack in question is by no means an isolated eve of the kind, but one of several to which various parties have had to sub mit at all times, in places but little frequented by fo reignera' where the ignorance of the rabole is apt to magnify the cell report which has obtained against us since ' the climbers which betel them daring the war. In order to teat the disposition of the people, and to decide upon the contlictine reports current re :meeting it, I walked last evenim with Mr. Joekoon iv all direction." in the back streets for nearly an hour and a half, atten tively observant of the gestures and behaviour of the people, 'fuel do not (Imitate to state that I never obverted on any other dee:eon lege manifestation of dislike or revengeful feelings. As nlreudy stated you, 1 hose made the load authorities fully aware that (awesome+ in general were combined for mutual protection on the evening of the Bth. Considering the readiness with which they came to our used ' ante in repelling the attack of the rioter" on Mr. Church's pre ' wide, when they might have confined themselves within their own walls for their own protection, I fear it might appear ungracious again to remind the Governor-Generel of their participation in the dee:item which succeeded, more especially as there can be nu doubt of his thorough knowledge of it. With regard to the necessity, SA urged by you, for anchoring the Welverene an front of the fac tories or in the Macao Passage, I must premise that the 10th article of the Supplementary Treaty sufficiently indicates the anchorage of the port, and the purpose for which the presence of a vessel of war was stipulated fur; while the latter part of the easne article clearly expresses the nectsaity of caution against exciting misgivings awing the people. Although it is probably as well known to the Chinese authorities as to ourselves, that the Wol verene has been sent to Whampoa In consequence of the recent dis turbance, it is nevertheless obviows to my mind, that her neaten appearance off the factories at this moment would excite the misgiv ings of the populace, and that the very effect would be produced thereby, that it is so neemoare to avoid, while it iv much to b.• fed ed that any amount of fume wheel could be landed would be wholly In adequate to offer effectual tee/dance to the infuriated mob of a city like "Canton." Without more urgent reasons, therefore, than already given I cannot, in oppositioa to my own judginete, and the mast positive instructions from her Majesty's Government, take upon myself to direct the nearer appraises of the Wuivereue. 1 have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient humble servant, (Signed) F. C. MAOGIZOOS. A. CAMPBELL, Eve F. C. Macgregor, Esq., H.B.M. Conde, Bic., Aug. 4. have the honour of acknowledging your knee of the 81st ultimo, in reply to mine, in which as crraan of a committee :ap pointed by the British community, I took the liberty of inquiring what steps hail been taken fur the protection of the lima, the pioperty, and the important trade which we feel to be still in jeopardy. It is with much regret I learn from the exposition of vour views with which thin letter Lemma me, that the assistance which the Lieute nant-Governer of Hong Kong placed at your dispoml, and which the senior naval officer of that station agrees with ell the rest of hie countrymen in thinking neeary, is not to be afforded them. You Inform us that " her Majesty's Government imperatively require that the Chinese authorities shall not be interfered with in repreving the violence of the mob, unless they themselves should require our evid ence." It is not for me to question your instructions, and in com menting upon them, and on your interpretation of them, I meet anxiously desire to speak with all becoming respect ; but, Sir, the committee appointed by the British community, of which I am but the organ, feel—my countrymen feel, that they have the right and that it is their duty to make known to you, sad through you to her Majesty's Government, their unaltered conviction of the necessity of the measure of which they have before preyed the adoption, and of the utter futility of looking to the Chinese Government fur timely aid, always promised, never afforded. liming understood from you that it hid been mete a subject of serious complaint, the community will we with some surprise the faint expression made use of in your letter as to " the Chinese authorities having been somewhat tat& in dispatching desistance." Surely such term by no means characte"riste the shameful apathy which left us for more than three home at the mercy of a mob, nor can it be said that the riot was timely quelled by tieChineve authorities. It wax finally quelled by the mire and deter mination evinced by the foreign community, led on by thee to whom they naturally look in anions of danger and deflaulty, and who were sound faithful at their poets. The Chinese authoritiee, were they always on the alert, which they never are, might check disturbance at its outbreak, but are helpless when danger is great and imminent. Further, Sir, British subject+ do not feel that the measures since taken by the Chinese authorities arc at all "efficient to prevent recur mike et 011trage. The elements of mischief met unchecked, the ob. atructione and annoyances of which the community have mineeinet are unto:nosed, and the few debauched and ragged creatures loitering about our homes, dignified here by the name of soldiers, would be utterly unable to reprieve any disturbance which might suelenly arise. KM. Government desires that the Chinese authorities, should not be interfered with. It can surely be no interference that in their ateence our force should act. Surely, Sir, experience has amply shown the efficacy of a disciplined body of men timely called in and firmly directed, and how lamentable have been the consequence, of negket ing the early ouppression of the most trifling disturbance. ; and yet it is thought prudent to rely on Chinese aid, which I must again remind you, on the evening of the Bth, was more than three hours , in reseching us, and which the long and bitter experleam of so many of our arm hers have had of similar scenes, informs them has never been afforded except in the same culpably dilatory manner. I cannot think your inference of the good disposition of the people towards foreigners borne out by the feet of yourself and Mr. Jackson having walled out in the back streets unmolested. You might doubtless hare dune the mine half an hour before Mr. Church's bowie was broken into, on the Bth July, or the factories fired, in December, 1812. It ban never been aleged, however, that we could not with safety leave our homes; that I an attack was inevitable. Ad that has been asserted is, that an attack may at any moment be made, that a fetal disturbance may thence grim, and the Chinese government will not, or ("newt, or do no: check nee disturbances in proper time, and that they are of fre quent occurrence can hardly be used U an argument against the adoptingof measures to prevent their endingri in the fa whosemob, passions you admit to be exasperated against us. You seem to have mi.under. good ray allusion to the Chinese authorities having entirely cleared over thiparecipation of al foreigners in the affeirof the Nth. I believe there is no British subject here who desires to evade his share of the responsibility of the severe but necessary measures then remated to; but British interests require that our countrymen should not be Stigli. ou.sly singled out tram the MASS on all OCC.:400115: and I must be par doned fur informing von, that there 14 a very general feeling in the British community, that greater favour is In many ways shown the American than to British residents. It is penaihle this state of things (if it exist; may arise from the recollection of the recent war, or it is poodlee that the recollection of that war has been too easily effaced, laid that the desire to conciliate and the habit of deference have led an arrogant people to encroachment. Pardon me, brute general relfeetions. There remains to notice the paragraph in your letter in which it is attempted to be proved that Centon is not within the Pert of Canton, and that that cannot by treaty be demanded which may yet by eineunatenees be necessary. I venture to remark, that lorehas and em It mewls come eonetantly up to the faces:tea, load and discharge there:; that vessel. of more considerable rice have beenup been. l'hysical difficulties, the inconvenience of many ships, the kapoeMbility of any of considerable lase or deeply laden piing out or caning in—these circumstances have made Whampoe the usual an. chorsge for merchant vessels; but I may farther remind you that nothing can be well more uncertain than the limits of Wlempoa, the ships occupying, without any particular regulation, a apace of several miles. I son aware that, by the 10th At tide or the Treaty, it is stated that the purpose for which the cruiser Is to be stationed at each of the Bee porta is to enforce good 'order and died ' perm " among the crews of the merchant shipping, ' but by the 14th cilium of the Regulations oi Trade this is more fully explained. "An Lregiisla cruiser will anchor within each of the Ace ports, that the con- a l may have the means of better restraining sailers and others and preventing eisturbance." It will not surely be raid that 'aer nujesty'a fiat can fly anywhere to mere., and yet nut to protect her stiejects. It is to prevent disturbance that we ask for the efficient protection of that dog, for we cannot at ell share in the apprehension you express of the inackmh.ry of the furre now within reach : we feel that it would be sufficient:. Inianclusion, I must solemnly, in the name of the community, reiterate the opi.: 101 1 of thai, rolumullitYthat it is neemeary for the safety of our livery fritTerty, ana trade, that a ship of war should be permanently situated near the Fsei.:Css. ly these are of more importance than the chalice of incurring the Übe misgivings of a populace, and his respomibility is great, wlto with the power to protect, withholds protection. The committee discharge themselves of all responsibility in thus ideally, strongly, but they trust respectfully, expressing their minds. I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient bumble servant ,A. CAXPOILL, Chairman. flbt Bart. ----- WINDSOR, MONDAY.—The royal family took their accustomed exercise this morning on the Engem Terrace of the Castle.

REJECTION OF BATHS IN SPIOREDFICTI.—At a full meeting of the vestry and inhabitants of Shoreditch, held yesterday afternoon, a proposal for establishing baths and wuhhouses by means of a parish rate, was made. An amend ment against the measure having been put, was carried by a majority of 28 to 20, which was decisive, the set of parlia ment requiring that the resolution for the establishment of baths and washhouses shall be supported by two-thirds of an open vestry, before it is submitted to the Secretary of State.

IRISH DESTITUTION.—Sir: I had to -day the plea sure of receiving your kind letter of the 19th inst., enelsong a cheque from Mr. R.

THE GREAT BRITAIN.—Sir : There is a singular mistake in your leading article of this day, which in justice to Captain Ilisken I trout you will correct, more particularly as it occupies so prominent a place in your widely circulating journal. The following extract is from the article 1 allude to:—" From the mouth of the 51eroey he hall steered a N.W. by N. course. The, any person who looks to a map will see of neeersity curried him to the north of the Isle of Man, that bland presenting to a vessel ou ouch a soon the very acute angle of its northern extremity. About half-past five CapLiin hookers saw the Isle of Mari, and toad not but be aware 'hat, on the course he was steering, at the rate of nearly II kraus an hour, which he believed the vessel to he making, the Isle of Man must have disappeared behind him even on a clear day within half un hour of the Unwed' his getting sight of It.

It in not a question of quicker or slower sailing; but of sailing or no sailing." Now, or, this is a very natural midake fur any one to make who does not happen to be aware of what is called the "variation of the semen.,;" namely, that the needle does not always point to the true north, but to different points. in different places. At Lis rpuol, the variation is about 24 deg. to the W. of N.; and when a isiliw speaks of any course steered, he always memo by compass. Now, dr, if you will take a chart of the British Isles, and from tine mouth of the Hersey lay of a line N.W. by N. from the N. and S. line shown by a compass, you will find that it takes you to the asuth of the Isle of Man.-1 remain, sir, your obedient servant, Oct. 20, HAIL ONE WOO TARIM AN INTXXINT IN NAVIGATION.

IMPORTATION OF GROWING PLANTS.—A vessel has arrived from Ghent, having, according to the official report, " a quantity of live plants" on board, the growth of Bel gium, but in reality comprising an entire cargo of orange trees, numbering nearly 200, in full leaf and vigour. Great care has been taken of them previously to shipment for this country, the roots being protected by wood work, and the trunks, close up to the branches, with bands of straw ' many of the trees being as large as ordinary sized orchard' trees, and baring a very beautiful and singular appearance. It did not transpire for whom this extraordinarily large number of orange trees have been imported. They presented, on bring landed from the vessel in one of the docks, the appear ance of an orange grove. Being, as live plants, free of duty, of course they were delivered to their destination without delay. TGE REGISTRATIONS.-Sir : Your attention has, no doubt, been called to the various and conflicting decisions of differ. ent revising barristers, and ample proof lite been furoishcd of the impropriety and injustice of lea, ing the franchise of the minim. to their absolute disposal. But I think it would be impossible to had in the proceedings of all the tours , throughout the kingdom a parallel n, what has taken place during the present year in the Court of Revision for the county of Middlesex. so many have hewn the =maces to which the claimants for the franchise have been ex and so dependent have they been upon the caprice of the ter, that they have determined rather to abandon their claims than to be exposed any longer to such treatment. At the court which was held at t abridge yesterday, 1 attendesi to support the claim of a Mr. Bailey who had been objected to by the conservative agent. On ex amining the notice of objection, I discovered that it haellnot been pasted in time, and therefore that the service thereof was bad. I was proceeding to state the ground of my objection, when I wan 'stopped by the Bar rioter, who asked, in a tone of peevish Irritability, if I appeared for lialley. I replied that I did. I was then told that my appear ance was an loos on of the validity of the notice, and that 1 moat pretend to prove the qualification. I remonstrated in vain. 1 stated elistraerfy that I appeared, in the fled place, to object to the notice, and was told, in an arbitrary manner, that the notice woo proved. I was then obliged to go into the par , ticulan of the quidilleation, which, I consider, was clearly outs stantiated, but which was, nevertheleea, declared by the court, from I shod dictum there in no appeal, to be bad, and the name was ex. pungent. It happened that the next person who had been objected to wan in precisely the same circumstances, both us to the notice and the qualification, but he was defended by Mr. James, who appears to be a greater favourite with the barrister than myself, though for what reason I cannot tell. At all events, Slr. James was quietly allowed to take up any objection to the service of the notice, and the court was at last convinced that it was bad. This claim, and the two which succeeded it, were consequently retained. I then asked the barrister to point out the justiee of striking off Mr. Bailey; and so obvious was the injustice that, at the suggestion of the objector himself, the name was restored. Mr. Bailey is thus indebted for his vote, not to the wisdom or the justice of the court, but to the accident that other. had been objected to under similar circumstances, wheal cases were supported . by a more favoured advocate. I lease this care to speak fie itself, in the hope that the legislature will speedily take from revising touristers the power of final decision, which is thus moody abused, and which places the franchise of the country in the p-,wer ot men who may be ap pointed to office, not because they are fitted to discharge ito duties, but because they may he connected with some Vice-Chancellor, or other functionary, whore influence may be exerted in their &your.— J.

On Saturday night, two eons of Mr. Baker, High-street, Hoxton, were engaged in making fireworks, when the elder, about 17 years of age, lighted a blue candle, and playfully threatened to ignite a large quantity of gunpowder placed on a chair, under pre paration by the younger lad. To preserve the powder, the latter put his arms across the chair; and while in that posi tion, a spark fell from the candle, and a terrific explosion en 'med. The younger boy's hands were shattered in a fright ful manner. lie was immediately placed under medical treatment, and is now in a suffering state.—A FALL PROM THE Misr.—As A. Young, an apprentice on board the ves sel Persia, loading in the export West India Docks, was em ployed at the top of the =uneaten, he suddenly missed Ins hold, and fell to the deck, reeciriag such severe injuries that he died upon the spot. INQUESTS.—SUICIDE OP A CABMAN.—By Mr. Mills, at the Marquis of Cornwallis, Great Ceram-street, on the body of Robert Watts, aged 63, a " night" cabman, living at No. 8, Little Guildford-street. He was an invete rnte drunkard, and passed half his time in bed to recover from the effects of the spirituous liquors he drank during the other half. After having been intoxicated for three days pees iously, he came home on Friday morning and went to Lea. In the course of the day he suffered much bodily and mentally, and begged his wife's forgiveness for his bad treat ----- meta of her, and for his dissipated habits. On Saturday morning shi watt out, leaving him iu bed, and on her re turn sho found that he had strangled himself by means of a r fastened ti the bed-rail, and twisted several times rlund his neck. Evidence was brought forward which proved that deetased was frequently insane when intoxicated, and the jury returned a verdict, " That he destroyed himself whilst of unsound mind, caused by the habitual abuse of intoxicating liquors." IRELAND. DUBLIN, Ocr. 24. Mr. Labouchere, the Secretary for Ireland, leaves Dublin t 0 . < 1,,y fur London, on a special mission charged to represent to the Premier the condition of this country, and the mea sures whiea the Irish government deem calculated to meet the exigency. It is very currently believed that the right honourable gentleman will urge the speedy assembl ng of Parliament upon the attention of Lord John Russell and his colleagues. THE LABOUR-RATE ACT. TIPPERARY.—SLIEVARDAGU.—The extra , rdinary pre sentment sessions for this barony was held on Thursday, in Bu!Enmity. tt. icral public works were presented for. The condition of the poor throughout the barony ie. very miser able, and complaints are universal that no public work has a. vet been devised to employ them. The Dublin Gazette, of this week, contains no further proclamations under the Labour Rate Act ; but, it is be lieved, that another series of proclamations will necessarily issue to reassemble the several baronies of Ireland for pre sentments for improvements, under the letter issued by the Lord-Lieutenant autliori.ing reproductive works.

Threatening notices wen:. last week, posted at and in the neighbourhood olFort-Johns ton, threat mg death to Mr. Johnston if he would receive any rent, rr to any tenant who would dare to pay any. Mr. Johnston has made a reduction in his rents of Id per cent. INQUEST ON TOE lionv or GLEMMX.—Thejournala re ceived to-day contain ample reports of the evidence given on the Inquest on the body of Gleeson, the processserver, of whose murder, ou account of his service of law papers on certain tenants in that county, I forwarded an account to the Doily Vitra on Wednesday last. Nothing satisfactory was derived from any of the witnesses, and the jury ultimately returned a verdict that the deceased came by his death in con sequence of injuries which ho received fiom some person or persons at present unknown. o'Bit:uses BUIDGE.—We (Tipperary Vindicator) can not possi'oly describe the fearful state of misery to which the people are reduced in t'ds place, without a reside .t landlord, and depending; wholly on chance for subsistence. We regret that outrages have been committed, and from what we learn we think it likely that they are to he followed by others. A man of the name of Thomas Walsh, of Lackeragh, in this parish, was fired at and dangerously wounded in the jaw on Monday night. " Rumour," says our correspondent, " as signs as the reason for this outrage, a suspicion that he repre sented to the. Board of Works that the people of this locality were not in the state of misery and destitution represented, which caused, it is thought. the b,arsl to delay employing the starving poor." The relief committee have determined to give up the office altogether, having nothing to do but to listen to the wailings and lamentations of starving crowds, without the means of relieving them, the government having absolutely refused to give either food or in .nay. Kittatou.—We deplore the irritating listless apathy of the authorities. We understand that Mr. Macmahtn, the agent of the Board of Works, promises to commence some new works on Monday next, which will give employment to about half the number in utter destitution. '1 his Las by no means satisfied the committee or the public, as the result, it is feared, will be by no means such as the friends of peace or good order would desire.

I'ItoPOSAL TO sent' EXPORTATION OF CORN FltoSt laa- LANtr.—A motion of this nature was, as your rewires aro aware, placed on the books of the Waterford Poor-law Union by Captain Newport. The gallant captain brought f reward the motion accordingly on Thursday last, supporting his caw by such arguments as the following : " I am asked by many where the rents are to mom trout if we will not ollow the wen to go ti, England! I answer the rents will come out to the consolidated fund. The thirty millions required lone the Nuotenanee of the people will take ten years fur payment, which will amount to but three millions u year over the whole estuary. I have been told that I have creat“t a great oensation in thin city by the nature of my notice of motion, but I can well under stand where these reports came from they were dioseruinated by the agents of English corn merchant.% who fear their employment will immediately COW if I succeed ; lo it they ought to seek employment In Odessa, Ancona, or in some of granaries of England.

The Captain's motion, and an address founded on it, were carried. OmerituerioN of PCIILIC WORKII.—The following cir cular has been addressed by the Lord-Lieutenant to the chairman of the Board of Works: tier,—l am sorry to find that great obstruction is made by labour, ro indifferent part, of the opuntry, to work by piece or eok work, which 1.4 the only mode by which employment ran he given at this time of general diet gists to any law portion of the people.

FOOD FOR NEXT YEAR.—The government,: feeling inn • premed with the conviction that potatoes will not he planted in large quantities next year, have made arrangements to supply seed rye and seed barley, at coot prices, to such par ties as desire a supply for present planting. LaNntonnism or InetaNn.—Lord Cremorne, in an ad dress to his Monaghan tenantry, just issued, proposes to modify his claims upon them as follows : " In 0011Millelle , of the failure of the potato crop, I have instructed my agent to make the following reductions upon the pur's rent now in course: of payment--To tenants whose yearly rent does not exceed 101., a relation of 30 per cent. upon the year's rent. To tenants wham yearly rent exceedo lot, but does not exceed 20/., a reduction of 20 per cent. on the yeor'e rent. To tenant's whose yearly rent ex ceed, :Pd., a reduction of 10 per cent. I r this a fair settle, no the high price of groin and other protons gives the bolder, of largo farms• greet advantage thin rear over the small farmers, who depend principally upon the potato crop." This reduction does not extend to parties having leases in perpetuity ; further he says : " I shall endeavour to organise a general system of drainage on the estate, and to undertake a piece of work in each district." Mr. Johnston, a gentleman of estate in the same county, mys: I therefore prop** to make a reduction of 15 per cent. upon all the rents of this rex, which shall be paid at a reasone.ide period, nay fur all the last May gale paid before the first of Dear abet. next, and fur all next November rents paid before the flea of MI .y, 1017." Lord Leitrim's agent, Mr. Richard Mayne. addresses his lordship's tenants as follows : " The Earl of Leitrim has directed me to areas, noierding to the following scale, upon the year's rent row la course of payment:—To every tenant whose land is te t at the foil ap proved value, where the year's rent does not exceed GI., SO per cent., being 10s. in the pound ; where the rent is above Of. and not ohm 101., 30 per cent., being Gs. in the pond; 'ahem the rent is above la. and not above 121., 20 per cent., b Ting ht in the pound ; where the rent is above 15f. and not above Sui., 10 per cent., or 2-. in the pound. Tenants whose rent exceeds 204. his lordship Jo-UN con siders are nearly as well off as in any other year, haring the advan tage of unusually high pricer, which fully males up for the loos ed the potato crop. My good friends, I true* t time that Lard Leitrim heen considerately and kindly made this refauction, and that you arc no liberally dealt with, so you will feel tt to be your duty to evince becomiNr sense of it by cheerfully coming, forward, jwing roue rest, and thereby enabling your landlord to c Met the heavy and now un avoidable charges attached to landed property in Ireland." The agent of Mr. Bond, a gentler can of Louth, has promul gated the following scale of redr,ctions. He says; "The failure of the potato crop b annaf fallen heavily on there who hold small farms, Mr. Hood feels fez them, and has, thceejoee, directed me to make the following redo alone out of the year's rent, ending May, laic:—Under 5 statute ne'.es of arable land a reduction of 30 par cent ; above 5, and nut en* ~sling In acres, +1 per cent ; above 10 and not exceeding 15 acres, 2 . 2 per cent; atove 15, and not exceeding 25 acres, 13 per oent ; abm,e 23, and nut exceeding 33 acre , . 1 0 pee oent.

THE LATE STOKII.—The Southern Reporter of Thursday sa s cite and surrounding country have been visited by n storm equalling in violence any we bare witnessed for mane year n. It com menced at an early hour last evening, and continucil to increase in fury, during the whole of the night, thin morning, and, with mo mentary lulls, up to the hour that we write. The Dublin mail, due at 3) clock tins morning, did not arrive until considerably alter six awn, and then minus the guard. The driver Mated that, on leaving Cater, the guard was "all right," but, on sensing at Atltehelstostn, bin seat WWI sweat, and nothing relative to the occurrence could be ascertained. It appears that a most fearful storm W 34 raging at the time, and it was with the greatest cliffiriaty the driver could keep his at so that the probability is that the unfortunate man was blown off, and erns so atoned or injured by the tall that he could make no elective appeal for awis at t- MCC ; or if enabled to do 110, the fury at the storm was so I .,eat th his efforts were unavailing.
