AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE HIBERNIA. LIVERPOOL, TIMIDLY KOZNINO. We have just to hand seven days' later intelligence from the New World. The bearer of them advice. is the British and North American Royal Mail steam ship Hibernia, which left New York on the 11th of July, and, after a short call at Halifax, reached our 1 river early this morning, having performed the voyage across the Atlantic in less than 13 days. • As the steamer which arrived last week came from Boston, our a 'Ca , * from New York and the United States generally, as well as Mexico and California, are eight days later, but from Canada and the British pose-salons they only ex , end seven days. The following are the latest dates from the principal ports and cities :—llalifax, July 14 ; New Yo: k, 11; Balfmore, 10; Washing:cm, 10; Philadelphia, 11 ; Boston, 11 ; New Orleans, 9; Cinciunati, 9; St. Louis, 9; Montreal, 9; Quebec, 8; Charleston, 9; Mobile, 9. We have the arrival of the Canada at Boston an nounced by this arrival, and the Niagara, which left Liverpool for New York on the 30th ult., had put into Halifax on the 12th inst. to land her mails and passengers for the northern districts, after which she Baled for her destination. The state of Canada is again creating alarm iu the public mind. The attention of the Canadians has been drawn to the marked contrast which exists in the salaries of the authorities of their province., as compared with those of the United States,—to the fact that the people of Vermont can find a governor for 600 dollars per annum, whilst theirs cost 30,000 dollars, tt.e former being an intelligent practical man, the latter a needy nobleman, ignorant of the country and the people. A large section of the community are taking up the matter of colonial reform and re duction in expenditure very warmly, but the party do not meddle to any extent is the present agitation on the Rebellion Indemnity Bill. The progr• se of cholera through the Union Is de scribed as alarming. Among the districts more severely visited by the epidemic are Saltillo in Mexico, Savannah, the towns and villages on the river Ohio, New Jersey, &e. The anniversary of the signing of the declaration that " all men are created equal" passed of in New York and the leading cities and teams of the Union with all that warmth of feeling which the Americans infuse into their celebrations. Notwithstaading the prohibition of military parade on account of the pre nence of cholera, and the gloom which in a greater or less degree is consequent on its ravages, all sections of the community kept the day not merely as a close but a joyous holi day. Large boating excursions, too, were termed by those who desired to seek recreation in the country, and the railway trains from the vicinity of the larger cities and towns brought crowds of people. In Brook- lyn and Philadelphia the usual preparations on the part of the authorities were dispensed with, whilst temperance demonstrations were very general. The people of Columbiana county, Ohio, celebrated the day in a very practical manner, by breaking on that occasion the first gr►und on the Ohio Railroad. The worthy apostle of temperance has had visits from several leading clerical and political characters in the American world. His own countrymen and women ?fern to exceed any other in expressing their admiration ; bat from all classes he meets a most hearty welc on? ; so much so that, should it continue, he will b 3 compelled, it is feared, to retire for a time from public excitement Amongst those who are most constant in their attentioes towards the rev. gentleman are the Roman Catholic Bishop Dr. Hughes, Mayor Copland, Col. Sherburne, &c., &c. Several deputa tions have waited on him with addressee. Amongst the receptions he ham met with, none have been more gratifying than that given at the Broadway Taber neck by the American Temperance Union in which I Bev. Drs. Cox, be Witt, Tyng, James, an d bowling, and Chancellor Walworth took part. It was generally .apposed that in the interim be tween the present time and the meeting of Congress, the leading parties, whig and democrat, would put forward some plane of action to be pursued with re gard to European affair,. The elections which take place in August and November are already exiting the attention of political speculators. Amongst the earliest of these are:—Kentucky, 10 vacancies, fir which there are already 8 whip and 4: democrat candidates ; Indiana, 10 vacancies, 8 whig, 7 democrat, and 1 free soil candidates ; North Carolina, 9 vacancies, 9 whig and 4 democrat candidates; Alabama, 7 vacancies, 5 whig, 7 democrat, and 2 free roil candidates ; Ten nessee, 11 vacancies, 8 whig and two democratic can. didatei ; Massachussetts, 1 vacancy; 1 whig, 1 demo crat. and 1 free soil candidate. We have to record the death of Wilson, the Scot tish vocalist, received by this arrival. Meetings continue to be held in the leading towns in favour of the Italians and Hungarians, on whom, it seems, all the sympathy formerly shown towards the I r ish ars now bestowed. Several parties of volun teers had left in packet ships for the German princi *Lies, to aid Hecker, who had left previously in the Calabria. The subscription for the Pope has not been 13 large nor so gametal throughout the Union u the examp:e set by New York would lead one to expect. In that city, however, the influence of Bishop Hughes is very great; and u he at the lest hour assured the people that the contribution would only be applied to relieving the temporal wants of his helium the col lections were larger than they otherwise w ould Lave been. . . A new line of steamers between New York and the Wort Indies is now seriously talked of, and several wealthy capitalists have taken the matter up. Esti mates have been procured for building two new stamen, and a large amount of stock has been taken. These capitalists look for a large share of business from this country, conceiving that, as the nearest route to the West Indies has been found to be by North America, the greater put of the business now dope by the West India mails would be drawn their way. The iron trade throughout the country is in such a depressed state, owing to British competition, that the chief founders in the States are crying out for a modification of the tariff to enable th_m to compete suecessfolly. Several fresh diacove.ies of coal have been made. Large numbers of negroes were escaping from their masters in the Southern states, and public meetings were being held in order to adopt measures to pre vent a continuance of it. The commercial intelligence come to hand is not tens, favourable in its character than we have received fur some time pest. The spread of disease and the intense heat serve to depress halite's of every kind, sad prevent any improvement We need not expect much alteration in our mercantile advice. for some time to c.me, till the fright produced by the cholera has ceased to effect toddy. The money market continued easy. For safe in vestment advances were easily obtainable, at mode rate rates of interest; and there seemed every pros pect of an abundance for some time to come, notwith standing the heavy amounts required for projected undertakings. In the market for stocks and other securities there was an increased firmness manifested, produced, in a great measure, by the character of the European in telligence. A good businea had been done in the government and principal state stocks, and prices had advanced slightly. Corry.-1 he cotton market was active, and sine, the arrival out of the Canada's news a large business was doing. BREADSTUFFS.—There was a fair business doing in breadstuff', at firm prices. PROVISIONs.—There was not 'large business doing in provisions, the demand being chiefly for home cos sumption and ships stores. Prices are at about the same rates as last noted. EXCIIANOES.—There eras a good business done in exchange up to the departure of the Hibernia, the rates on London being 1081 to 109. INDIA AND CHINA, THE OVERLAND MAIL. We have received by extraordinary express ad. vices in anticipation of the overland mail from Bom bay and Calcutta to the 2nd June, and M..drits to the 9th. It is long since we have received a mail so de void of imporunt news as the present. The moat profound tranquiLity has succeeded the din of war that but recently resounded on the north western frontier. la the Punjaub all was quiet. At Peshawar, Colonel Dundee had been reduced from the rank of brigadier general to that of brigadier. It does not seem to be the intention of the authorities to remove the Maharajah Dhaleep Singh to the pro vince., a step which ought not only to have been token not only with regard to toe sovereign, but airs with regard to the rebel Sirdare, while we regret te learn that the enlistment of Sikhs into the new seer which are to form the proposed contingent is not progressing well. The Sikhs refuse to take service, and the general opinion is against the forma tion of this contingent, and for an augmentation of the regular army. The troops at the new stations arc housing themselves after a fashion, escecially at Peshawar, where the large native houses of the ex pelled Barukhzsie chiefs have afforded much accom modation. Maharajah 000103 Singh has sent a deputation to congratulate the British government on their success, and so long as Kashmeer is in his possession we shall be friends with the new Jummoo dynasty. His death may cause a change. There is no decisive information as to the move ments of the Ranee Clunda. She is still in the Nepaal territory, but whether she is to be thrown once more into confinement, or to be allowed to re main where she is, appears to be as yet uncertain. The report as to a detachment of irregular cavalry having been sent to escort hey back to Chunar must, evidently, have been without foundation. It is said that jewels of the aggregate value of 10 lace (100,0001), belonging to the Ranee, have been con fiscated by government The Governor-General and Lord Gough continued at Simla, where the latter continued issuing orders as commander-in-chief long after the assumption of the command by Sir C. Noisier at the capital. Sir H. Lawrence has been comp Bed t 3 proceed to the hills for a short time for the benefit of his health. The final determination of the Court of Directors to foster the introduction of railroads into India, and the prospects held out by their resolution, have created an universal feeling of satisfaction through oat the coantry. The draft of a new act (modelled on the County Courts Act at home) for the re-overy of small debts in Cahutts, Madras, and Bombay, has recently appeared in the Gaunt. It provides for the seta bliahment of a court, presided over by one, two, or three judges , one of whom must be a barrister, and which is to have jurisdiction over all suits where the debt or damage claimed does not exceed 500 rs. The power of declaring it applicable is made to rest with the government of the presidency. The monsoon had not yet set in at Bombay, where the weather had been intensely hot, and not healthy. The Governor was expected to leave the hills for Satter* and Poma about the beginning of the week. The headquarters of the commander-in-chief have already been removed to the latter place for the season. The intelligence from &hale is barren on this oc casion. The Appa Sahib rebellion is fully crushed. No other pretender has taken the field, nor is likely LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 24, 1849. ma again to do so, alter the *even drubbing the real Appa eisturbances met with. The trial of Moolrej had not been commenced, Brigadier (Jody hiving been prevented b 3 ill -health from taking his place in the commission. The attempt at disturbi ,, g the public peace of the Drkkan and Berar had been put down, and the pseudo Appa Sahib, having been defeated on the let of May by the Ellichpoor dirron of the iz un's army, was su.pribed on the Bth, by :he Hingulee Division, and captured, bier • considerable loss on his side, Brigadier Hamp ton and three other officers tieinj wouldel in the skirmish. The following is from the summary of the 3fadras .Athenaeum of the 9th ult.: The accounts from the north-nest during the month that has elapsed Bince we lust went to pram have made a very scanty. addition to our e:ock of information. Things are settling gown gradually, quietly, and orderly; the dears ' intrusted with the taak of working the new political engine an at their posts, cr on the way to them; Ines are being marked out, barracks in coarse of erection, and the wimp, arrangements requisite for holding and governing the newly acquired province are all progressing towards completion. , The details of these necessary but uninteresting movements • we hare furnished in our other columns ; among them, however, we fi nd little se nothing that calls for pro . raining notice. It will be.e!in that the Board of A - ministration for the affairs of the Paajwab" has given 'avi d. nee of vitality in the proundgition of general in structions for the guidance of the civil and military fuoctionatiss through whom the benefits of good govern ment are to be conveyed to the country of the Five Rivers. These inotructioeseontain much wholesome advice, and will, we trust, be zealously complied with by those to whom they sera addressed, on whom they enjoin the importance of pre ' venting everything as far as posable that can offend our new subjects and alienate them trom our rule, and *trolley urge the " necessity and policy of being as accessible as posemble to all ranks, to mix with t h em, and ascertain their wants and willies, to study their char acter, and muter their dialects," and, whilst exhibiting firmness la the maintenance of the laws, " to treat kindly and considerately all classes, and espe cially those who have lost so much by the change of rule." The advantages of an astente cordial* between the civil and military authorities are also judiciously pointed out ; on the whole a fair start has been made f:r &little good government ; the opportunity to improve upon past attempts, and to cow menu clear of the clogs and impediments that have ham pered administrative purees in other quarters is a splendid one, and will not, it is hoped, be thrown away. Should John Company loose the alum now given hien,lwe fear that when his present lease expires, a British parliament will feel ,here is no other alternative than to let out " the vineyard to other huebandmen who will ret.der the frui's in due season." Since General Gilbert's arrival at Lahore, that city has besouts the scene of social festivity and amusement, while the interchange of hospitalities between thy regiments of her Majesty and the Hon. Company induces the belief that the spirit of absurd jealousy that formerly existed be tween the members of the two services is fast giving way to one of a more generous rivalry. The promotion of good fellowship and the enlivenment of the dulness that usually elyirls military life in India, are now the only objects that engage attention; and races, balls, dinners, and the vari owe agremens of social life now solace our gallant soldiers for the hardships, toils, tad dangers of the late campaign. Nominal rolls of claimants for the Punjaub medal have, in the meantime, been called for by Lord Gough ; and we are glad to find it asserted by a north-west journal, likely to be well-informed, that the 'Waal hell is to by distributed to all who have served in a raiti•ary capacity at any time du-insr the late war within the territories under the government of Maharajah Dhalleep Singh, but that • clasp is to be added for tech battle to such served in it. This arrangement will, we feat., not sei.ly the captors of Mooltan, who are clamorous for a distinct medal for their theectsful siege, and, in the assertion of their claims—we now form our judgment from the letters which have foend their way into the public papers—have indulged is a large amount of self-glorification and unnece Bury de preciation of the services of their brother soldiers. All have nobly done their duty in the sphere in which fortune placed them; but tt,e coneciousne is of this, and the know ledge that their country approves their v.lour, suffice not to satisfy the soldiers of the Indian army now-a-days, and aeon:Jingly, after every battle we have a loud outcry for stn " bane" and honorary decorations. We have no wish ne depredate the services of the army of the Punjaub or that el Mathes, but we condemn the principle of India 'violate eulogy and reward which has found its way into the pear-hie both of the authorities and the troop', and de precate the under-valuation of there distinctions which must ensue from their too general bestowment. Melees have been received from Peshawar to the 12th of May. Everythino is le ported to be going on quietly, but the communications are oiled with very little of interest. Unpthasant jealousies—we trust unfounded ones, too—appear to exist between the Bombay and Bengal troops, which com pose the force, and bitter complaints have found their way into the papers of the partiality and favouritism of Colonel Demean, who commands the troous at that station, an i who is said to have given the Ducks en unfair pre cedence in matters of military 'convenience. The lines at Rawul Pindee have been finishes), and by the latest accounts the troops were at ones to remove into them. The military occupation of the country will, therefore, soon be complete. No manifestation of dissatisfaction by the people has yet be n made ; and, though some profess to consider the pre sent composure as but the deceitful preliminary to a 'term, we feel rather inclined to augur from these symptoms more auspiciously for the Ptusjaub, and interpret them as omens of a period of long and undisturbed tranquillity. The governor-general and Lord Gough are both enjoying the cool delights of Simlah. From neither Affghinistan nor &bade have we any intel ligence of the slightest importance. The principal item of news from Bombay relates to the annexation of the Batten state to the British dsminions in the cut. No official notification of the act has yet ap peared, but a Bombay paper intimates that the following appointments have been determined on, and we may, there fore, in a very short time expect the formal announce ment of the new appropriation : Mr. 11. B. E. From is to be commissioner; Mr. M. A. Coxon, first assistant; Lieutenant H. B. Sandford, of the Bombay artillery, second; and Ensign J. T. Nicholson, of the Sand Native Infantry, third. The death of Jeejesbhoy Dadabhoy, , one of the oldest, wealthiest, and most respected of the merchants of Bombay, has taken place during the month. The deceased has in his will made the munificent bequest of two lakhs of repent (20,0001.) to be espended on charitable objects for the bene fit of the Parsee community. The mail just arrived (says the Calcutta English man), has brought the thanks of both houses of parliament to the Indian army. Lord Gough's fare well to the army is contained in the following general order: Head-quarters, May 16, 1849. His Excellency General Charles J. Nippier, GCE , having announced hisassumptionoltheoffice of commander in chief, General Lord Gough has now to take his list fare well, and bid his last adieu to the army of India, the com mand of which he has held for a period of nearly six years, and which be now resiens to his distinguished summer. General Lord Gough his had the good fortune to command in chief forces composed of portions of the army of India is boar memorable campaigns—Chins, Gwalior, the Sutledp, and lastly the Puojaub. In every one of these campaigns the most brilliant results have been obtained ; victory has followed victory; the termination of each campaign has brought with it increase of influence, of power, and of ter ritory to our Indian possessions, and of glory and renown to the army of India. It is to that army, to its valour, Ps discipline, and the confidence Lord Gough is proud to think that it has ever reposed in its leader, that his lordship mainly owes whatever of rank or of reputation he has latterly obtained, and he now relinqui bee his command in the honest and heartfelt conviction that he has discharged hie duty to his sovereign sad his country. It will be impossible for Lord Gough to offer, in connec tion with so much that is memorable, the full expression of theme opinions and feelings which the arduous and protracted duties of his station have produced, but he desires that the whole army, generally, and those officers and 'oldie's parti ealarly who have more immediate) served and fought under his guidance, will receive this his last and brief assurance of the deep and abiding interest he soil ever feel in their wel ; and with the same warm feelings of regard and earnest prayers for their honour and prosperity with which Lord Gough took leave of the army oft he Punjatib, he now &d -ebases his affectionate farewell to the army of India. To the general officers and stiff of the army, and to the head-quarters' staff of both her Majesty's and the East India Company's service, as well as to his personal staff, the cont. maader-in-ehief deems it a most gratifying duty, incumbent upon him, to offer the expression of his warmest thanks for the very able support and assistance he has on all occasions invariably received from them, in the discharge of hie official duties during his long period of command. By order of his Excellency the Right Honourable the - 01-16.1-I PAT. ORAN?, Ueut-Colonel, Adjutant-General dare Army. The troops at Barrackpore were reviewed on the 15th of May by the commander-in-chief. A correspondent of the Englishman gives the follow ing account of the review : The troops at this station were out in review order this morning for the inspection of Sir Charles Napier. The bri gadier had us under arms at day-light. I suppose they told him how Sir Charles caught the 96:h in the Fort, in their beds, the other morning. From what we bad heard of the chief we did not expect he would keep ns waiting. There was some difficulty, I understand, about mounting the chief and party, and this also was the cause of the delay. At lut they tame, the little man leading in his Sciode outame, blue frock, and jocky cap. The salute was scarcely over when be pre the word bin self to break into open column, right in front. This kind of thing is so unusual with reviewing officers, that our good brigadier was, I suspect, taken rather aback. On the word " quick march," away we went, not knowing what was coming nest. Sir Charles appeared as nimble as a lamp lighter, (canopying about just se it the horse was not his own, nor was it ! His staff and several equestrian spectators an peered quite abroad, evidently not acquainted with the little gentleman's ways. The lin• of march was changed by bringing up the shoulders of the leading divisk.ns. Sir Charles was at the wheeling point to see how the officers kept their covering, as they entered the new align, went. lis f. !and fault, and justly, with the want of attention of officers leading companies for not covering properly. After wading knee deep through water the columns were halted, and line was formed; t►e distances were good, and the chief was pleased. At this time the front lire was facing a large took ; Sir Charles called out to the brigadier and asked him how he would pus the obstacle. The brigadier limed his order, and the thing was done. We were then marched off to the left, and formed a line of contiguous columns left front. Then was no nonsense of marching put, at which I was not sorry. Sir Charles give the officers a bit of a lec ture, but said that on tke whole he was much pleased. He rode round the flanks of the 10:h grenadien, 27th, and 40th, and tapped sundry native officers with decorations on the shoulder, saying, " Good, good," and when he come to the 35.1 t Light Itaftntry, which was on the left of tha line, he requested the brigadier to seed Dim his best interpreter. Captain Duffin, of the 26th, wu called f. r, who made rather short work of the chief 'a harangue, which was as follows: "Soldiers of the 3dtb, I am 'proud of having you under my command. Your fame bra reached me. I have beard of you from the 13th Light Infantry, your old Jellallalud comrades. No r. &tent in the army has a greater name than the 35th Light Infantry. I( at anytime lan serve the regiment I shill be happy to do so." COMMERCIAL CLLCUTTA, JUNE 2.

Lat terly a small Wainer has been reported for the North American market at extreme ft rmer rates. But little remains on hand, and the season's operation may be said nearly to have terminated. Since our last, various reports have reached tows regarding the prospects of the season, and we can gather from them the following details: Jungr pore, Molds, Itairnahul, and Bogle ams continue to sufkr tram ab. seme of rain. Partial showers had Mien, but they were too heat to resew upon, and of very little benefit to the young crop. Tirhoot was Wean., int for rain, arid we sec the crop estinisted at 16,000 to 17,000 auk. There have been considerable roductioaa in the cultiva. lion. lemon bad a fire crop, b t it is said to be email and etuntecl for want of rain. The out-turn to calculated to reach lair year's mark. The prospects of factories on the Baugarattee are des tidied re un satielsetory. One or two concerns near Caine had good crops. At Nymiutaing rivers were rising, which neecessely mast hasten the cuttings; Pubis had been visited by fine rains. Ia Kish naghur prospects were poor, and it is barely potreible the late sow ings will yield anything handsome. In Purnoah rain was wanted, and mock land remained 1111.01111. Duca had rod crops, but pro,- to had been injured by hail; rivers were rising. blidnapore was also wanting moisture, and almost all the native esseerna had been slant up. Urn the whole we are of °Mem that the remott can hardly reach average; and although we longer expect to hear the cry 11 went of rain being geeeral, yet we may now look oat for an °apatite evil-rising of rivers, and too much moisture. Since the reports from which we have gleaned the above particulate reached town, Calcutta has been vi-ited by heavy rains. and there is reason to oonende al most every district has been relieved by rain.

Oar correspondent at Singapore writes, on the 4th of June, as follows: At present we are somewhat dull, in consequence of the departure, on the 11th ult., of the governor for the sister settlements. His excellency the naval commander-in-chief is here on board the flag-ship, bat, as formerly noticed, his excellency is in obscurity, as none of the commercial folk will call on him after his cavalier conduct when here last. His excellency has so much benefited by his trip to Shanghai as to abandon the idea of going home; he will remain hers until after the arrival of the English mail, when the Hastings and Fury will proceed to Trincomalee. The latter place has been made the head-quarters of the admiral, and orders have been received to break up the depots at Hoeg Kong and Penang. A cap tain-superintendent is to be appointed at Trincomalee. Tigers are again becoming troublesome; so many Chinese planters have been carried off lately, that with difficulty they cast be persuaded to pursue their ac customed labour in the rural districts. Chinese gang robberies are otee more in fashion. Their last at tempt was not only unsuccessful, but met with duo 'punishment. A gang of about 30 Chinese landed from funks and gained possession of the house of the bro ther-in-law of his highness the Tornongong, at Tnlleh Blangab. A Malay neighbour, hearing the noise, took his kris and p-oceeded to the spot, where he killed two of the robbers and mortally wounded two others ; at last he was disarmed and wounded by the Chirese, who made off with their two wounded com panions, but without obta:ning any booty. Prom re turns of the shipping at Singapore, it would appear that no less than 827 square-riggedvessels, aggregating 264,204 tons, arrived during the official year 1848- 49; the native arrivals being 2,061 vessels, aggre gating 61,698 tone.

Our correspondent at Hong Kong write!, on May 26, es follows: The events of the month are soon told; they are made up of trifles of a domestic or social nature, and uuchcquered by political incidents which give reality and interest. Here, in Mete we are always locking to what is to come rather than to what has already taken place. The difficulty of arriving at a correct estimate of the political po-ition we occupy is rendered greater by the antagonistic interests of commercial rivals. The public journals Register and Friend of China re;,iard the events of the month with ill-omen, whilst the China Mail views matters in a different light, and BCCa in the past mouth a tendency to imp:oved tone and feeling on the part of the Chinese, which must favourably affect tr.:de and commerce. Individual opinion is not less vacillating. Every one has, as it were, his own method ot appl iog presi nt appearances to futurity, and would fan regulate our policy by the chimeras of their imagination. The Register and the Friend recur again and again to the hurtful course pursued and still in operation by the guilds, and hesitate not to trace the high position and tone assumed by them to the Chine* authorities for the purpose of humbling as; on the other hand, the China Mail pronounces the conduct of these guilds as "the prudential reso lutions of commercial bodies," which Dr. Bowring, when appealed to, declined to interfere with, "as it bad not been shown that the Chicese government had anything to do with it, and be did not consider it right to prescribe how merchants are to conduct their trade, knowing that it is subject to principles which no combination can withstand, and no exercise of authority can improve." The fact of the matter stands thus : there is a spirit of discontent, a love of change, a feeling of old partialities springing up in the Chinese empire, which will surprise us some fine morning in intelligence of the overthrow of the Tartar dynasty. China is on the verge of a political revolution—a disruption of its vast and distant provinces will be inevitable. Throughout the extent of the Chinese empire there is manifest a disposition and alacrity to formirg clubs and associations, a combination of force and union of sentiment which will not be long with out taking a more clear and decisive course of con duct. The province of Canton is ripe for rebellion; is ready to throw off the yoke ; and the people would cheerfully avail themselves of any pretext to civil strife. Sea, the imperial commissioner, possesses the confidence of his own nation; even the most quiet among them propose to erect a monument to record their sense of his admir able conduct in dealing with the late question, or 6th of April rffair. The question of opening the gate s has been deferred to a more "convenient mason." Our strength is . o lie still and observe the progress of events. The national guard of Canton, called into existence by the lately anticipatedevents, hub= dis banded. Its organisation served the purpose of the day, but Seu will yet find that body secretly aiding the malcontents, and urging on disquiet. Popular armies in the end carry popular measures. The utoi dents of the month consist principally of Miscue, which have been conducted in so open and violent a manner as to convince the least superficial observer that the Chinese authorities cannot command suffi cient power to put the system down. At the be ginning of the month her Majesty's steamer In fiexiblo proceeded towards the Lemma, where two large piraticel jacks were at anchor. These junks hesitteed not to open fire upon the steamer, but the greater part of the crews fled en approach of the steamer's boats. Forty-five prisoners were
