LONDON, 'AIDA if, APRIL 26. Tee desultory debate on going into Committee of Ways and Means was not only resumed by the Opposition and continued for another seven hours last night, but is at their request adjonrned to Mon day nest. The Tories being wholly responsible for this delay in the progress of public business, must of course have good reasons for subjecting the trade and commerce of the country to so serious an inconvenience. It was very difficult to make out at first what the object in view really was. The wearisome debate of Monday evening threw but little light upon it. No motion was made, and no definite proposition of any sort emanated from the Opposition benches. One member indeed suggested in energetic language that the duty on hops was " infamous" and ought to be at once abolished ; and another complained of the tax on malt as a grievous and intolerable burden. Others repeated, with tedious iteration and in the moat diluted form, the rival arguments in favour of deal ing with cheap literature or that "scurrilous bets " rage" tea. But these small points of detail are of course utterly irrelevant as grounds for discussing the general scheme of the Budget before going into Committee. Sir STAFFORD Noarecore threw some light on the policy of his party in hie elabo rate attempt to invalidate Mr. Gtsoirroire's esti mated surplus. The efforts of all the more in fluential Opposition speakers, both on Monday evening and last night, were directed, indeed, to the same point. But why this eager, this nervous anxiety to reduce, and, if possible, destroy the estimated surplus 1 Mr. WRITIDSIDR'S speech last night answered this question, and brought out the animus of his party, and the real objecta they have in view. Thu Tories oppose the Budget of the Government on what they choose to call "con. " stitntional" grounds. In other words, they ate resolved to maintain the usurped right of the House of Lords to control the finances of the country. The financial scheme of the present year leaves no scope for any such usurpation. It gives the Upper House no opportunity of continuing a tax which the Lower House has repealed. This is the cardinal offence, the unpardonable sin of the CRANCILLOR of the fa cusarze's scheme. But why, it may be asked, are the Tories so eager to vindicate the usurped authority of the Upper House in matters of finance? MF. WRITSSIDS'S speech offers indirectly a reply to this question also. It is because they are re solved to keep up the expenditure of the country at the highuat possible point. In their efforts to secure this great object they have displayed a wonderful fertility of resource. They have invented every possible variety of what may be called the " old bogie " argument. They have a portfolio full of foreign wars on the eve of breaking out, of projected invasions, and innumerable proofs that this country is in an utterly defenceless state. But after all they cannot relyon these favourite pretexts of financial extortion. They dread the awakened spirit of inquiry into the national expenditure, and fear that the day may soon come when the voice of a long-suffering but overtaxed people will be heard with authority in the House of Commons. And they want, therefore, to provide in time for that evil day, by surrendering the most sacred rights of the Commons, and securing to the House of Lords a controlling power in matters of finance. That is at the bottom of this desultory but pertinacious discussion which interferes so seriously with the progress of public business. Sir Srarrime Nuarmccera attempted to throw discredit on the calculations for this year by the trite and stale expedient of dwelling on the partial failure in some items of estimated revenue last year. hut every ten-pound householder, every intelligent artisan in the country, knows perfectly well the causes of these failures, and that they are not attributable to the CRANCILLOR of the Su:Reeves. Mr. Sevisoea Prigoauto and Mr. WHITERIDE both returned to this thrice exploded argument last night. The former gen tleman, indeed, made a special disunion in favour of China. Ile attempted to show, by an imposing parade of facia and figures, of public returns and private information, that the 750,0001. indemnity money from China cannot corns) into the Exch.. quer during the present year. Mr. Massa Gurnee, however, in a few sentences disposed of the right lion. gentleman's elaborate calcula tions. The Chinese indemnity is to be received in quarterly payments, which consist of one-lifth of the year's revenue of the customs collected at the Chinese porta open to foreign trade. Mr. FITZOZRALD based his calculations of the amount to be received during the present financial year on the ccasular returns of the gross receipts at these ports. On these returns ho estimates the amount to be received will not exceed 600,0001., and be maintained that this /sum ought in justice to be given to the Chinese merchants who have suffered during the war, and whose losses the Go vernment has engaged to make up. But Mr. M. (.mssoe showed that this calculation rests on a par tial and one sided basis. The year 1839 was a year of war, and thus of considerable mercantile disturbance. The Customs returns for that year, therefore, reflect this depression, and are below the ordinary average. Then, again, under the treaty, new porta are opened, and the anticipated trade from these ports must be taken into account. It is on this larger view of our commerce with China that Lord EWIN'A calcula tions, adopted by the CHAN...Luke of the Excite- QUER, are based. And Mr. Gulps might well ask, what private sources of Information the right hon. gentleman possessed which can claim to be superior in accuracy and authority to those of the distinguished diplomatists who con cluded the recent treaty with China. In the purely financial part of his argument Mr. Warm' or betook himself to the familiar field of Irish spirits, endeavouring to show that the anti cipated revenue from this source cannot be rea lised in the present year, because it partially failed in the past year. Mr. CAIRD however gave, on undisputed authority, an emphatic and final reply to all these gloomy prognostications based on the partial failure of last year's harvest. The two great sources of failure last year were malt and spirits. The loss was about 900,0001. on each of these excisable articles. And the loss was in both cases mainly attributable to the same cause—the failure 'of the barley crop. Now, Mr. CAIRD says there is every reason le believe that the barley crop this year will be enormously large. A far greater quantity of barley has been sown this year than usual, and there is every prospect of a good season. Mr. CAIRD accordingly estimates that the revenue from this source will exceed the estimates by little short of a million. This at awe disposes of the elaborate attempts to prove Mr. GLADSTONE'S surplus erroneous. If the Opposition were in earnest, and really believed the estimate (aloe, they are bound to bring forward a distinct motion on the subject, and reject the Budget. But their present policy of vexations delay for unconstitutional purposes will bring them neither credit nor rumen. - - - - - - PARLIAMENTARY bzrzuos. HOC= OF 001010211 L-Ann U.

EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, APRIf, 26, LATEST INTIELLIGENCE. AMERICA. CHINA. The following summary of news is compiled from the Overland Mail and Register of Mirch 10 : The news from Japan is still interesting, ►nd, so fez es we can learn, highly gratifying. It is to the effect that Mr. Alcoek and the other representatives of foreign countries have bees requested to Mare to Yedo upon terms that give than all that assurance of safety which they com plained was wanting. The same report states that our mi nister would enter Yedo under a salute of twenty-one guns. A later account informs us that he has done so, and • letter has appeared in some of the newspapers, which he wrote before leaving Yokohama ; its tone is merely con gratulatory, without anything of sufficient note to call for publication. The news from Tien-fain is not of course marked by any event of importance. The weather has been extremely cold in the far north, the thermometer falling below zero on one or two occasions. Al the country is reported to be frozen over as hard as a sheet of iron ; the river is expected to break up about the beginning of March. Mr. Bruises mails and the whole of one French mail had been sent Cbefoo, but the English naval authorities had not thought fit to send the garrison mails, which therefore remain in their hands undelivered. It is said that Mr. Bruce, with several officers in his suite, will go to Peking about the end of March. There appears to be truth in a rumour that famine has been prevailing in that city, and that the greatest exertions have been made by the Chinese government to have speedy supplies of ries from the south. From Shanghae the news is likewise very interesting. The insurgent cause is rapidly pining ground, and, if recent reports may be traded, it is marked by a bettor organisation, which will have the effect, it is to be hoped, of removing that character for lawlessness and disorder which has hitherto cast a stain upon the rebel party. _. . The latest news from &obis is to the effect that Sir Hope Grant has directed the troops than to make their ar rangementa for another year's stay. The Shameen site is nearly complete, and hopes are entertained that Canton may yet become something like the thriving commercial depot of olden times. Lieutenant-General Sir Hope Grant leaves by the ma ple& steamer ; and Major-General Sir J. Michel assumes the oomorad of her Majesty's forces in China. Lettere have been received of • recent date from Mr. Wade, who, in •late issue, we reported bad gone to Pekin with • view to make arrangements for the reception of Mr. Blum and suite in spring. He describes the capital se in • Mate of the direst, deepest confusion. Numbers of the inhabitig* were dying daily from want and starvation. The Emperor still refuses to leave his place of refuge at &hot, though his prime ministers have written to inform him that the only means of saving the dynasty from imme diate destruction, is his instant return to the capital. Bat even this, it is supposed, would have no effect in prolong ing the existence of this moribund government. CIVIL WAR. THE BOMBARDMENT AND SURRENDER OF FORT SUMTER. )N, Aran. Z. The North German Lloyd's steam-ship New York, Captain Von Santen, with dates from New York to the 14th, has arrived. She brings 1,000 dollars for England, and 1,250 dollars for Bremen, 177 passengers in all, and a very large cargo, consisting of upwards of 14,000 packages of cheese, wheat, corn, tobacco, &c. On the 14th, inside of Sandy Hook, she aig nailed the Hamburg ship No. 247, also the Bremen bark Washington, and the American ship South Durham ; and on the 18th she spoke a steamer, supposed to be the Bremen, from Southampton. The latest intelligence from Charleston is to the evening of the 13th. Fort Sumter had uncondi tionally surrendered, after a fierce bombardment from the batteries of Sullivan's Island, Cummings' Point, and Stevens' Battery. The fire in the fort was quelled before itreached the magazine. Major Anderson and his men, under guard, were conveyed to Morris Island, and the forts were to be taken possession of at night by the confederate troops. The following are the latest Charleston despatches : Ciialtgarion, Aga 12. Civil war has at last begun. A terrible fight is at this moment going on between Fort Sumter and the fortifies. lions by which it it surrounded. In my last despatch I stated that negotiations bad been re-opened between General Beauregard and Major Aederson. This was done with a view to prevent an unneoessary effusion of blood. The laser was submitted to Major Anderson of surrender ins aa 'loon as hie supplies were exhausted, or of having having a fire opened on him within a certain time. This he refused to do, and accordingly, at twenty seven minutes past 4 o'clock this morning Fort Moultrie ►egan the bombarrimeat by firing two guns. To these Major Anderson replied with three of his barbette guns, after which the batteries on Mount Plisimat, Cummings' Point, and the Floating Battery, opened a brisk fire of shot and skalL Major Anderson did not reply, except at long intervals, until between 7 and 8 &cloak, when he brought into action the two tiers of gnu looking towards Fort Moultrie and Stevens' iron battery. CHARLESTON, April 13. Major Andersen is hemmed in by ruins and fire. Every building in Fort Sumter is burning. He has blown up on. or two to arrest the flames. This does not is anywise diminish his strength. He has been compelled to cease firing altogether. The shire outside are supposed to inaugurate the blockade. Offers have been received from Virginia of any number of men required for fighting duty. EVACUATION OF FORT BUNTER. CHARLESTON (VIA AUGUSTA), April 13. Fort Sumter has surrendered: The oonfedente flag floats ewer its walls. Now of the garrison or oosfederate troops are hurt. Another despatch mys :—The bombarding has closed. Major Anderson has drawn down the stripes and stars and displays a white Bag, which has been answered from the city, and a boat is on the way to Sumter. CHAILEBTON, April 13, P.M. The federal flag was again hoisted over Sumter, when Poreher Miles, with a flag of trace, went to the fort. In a few minutes the federal Sag was again hauled down by Major Anderson, and a white one unfurled. Cammzurox, April 13, Par. General Beauregard, with two aides-de•camp, has left for Seater. Three fire companies are now on their way to Sumter to quell the fire before it reaches the moriase. Port Sumter Isms unconditionally surrendered. ExAsiwitor Chesnut, ex- Governor Manning, and W. P. Mika, have just landed, and marched to Governor Pickens's rtaidenoe, followed by a dews crowd wild with joy. In all 2,000 shot' have been fired. No Carolinians have been killed. Major Anderson and his men, under guard, were conveyed to Morris Island. The bells are ringing ont a merry peal, and our people are engaged in every demonstration of joy. It is estimated there are 9,000 men under arms on the islands and in the neighbourhood. LATEST NEWS. CHAELJUITOS, Evening. I have seen W. Porch& Mills, who has just returned from Sumter. He assured me no one was killed at Sumter. This is reliable, and puts at rut all previous reports. Major Anderson has reached the city, sad is the guest of Glossal BeauregatiL Our people sympathise with Major Ander s:a, but abhor threw who were in the steamers off the outer bar, and I. sight of our people, and did not even attempt to reinforce him. The Fairfield regiment of 1,000 strong have just passed on their way to Morris Island. Then are now 10,000 men under arms in the tambour and on the coast. The fort will be taken possession of to-night by the coafederate troops. A boat from one of the numb °Maids the harbour com municated with General Simons, in command of the forces ea Morrie Island, and mad* a request that one of the stemma be allowed to eater the port, for the purpose of sakhig away Major Anderson and his command. An arrangement was agreed upon—the parties to stay all pro ceedings until 9 o'clock to-morrow, the 14th. A des/etch from Washington on the evening of the 13th says : The capital matinees in a frantic state of excitement. Groupe of individuals discussing the bombardment are pthered together at the corners; telegraph offices, war and navy departmente, sod the White House are besieged by crowds of eager inquirers. The republicans are wild with indignation, and curse the rebels and cheer Major Anderson meet lustily. The President and the Cabinet have been in session nearly all the mania& A large number of prominent men, of all parties, repaired to the White House at an early hour to tender their services to the President, but none are admitted except the Virginia Committee of Inquiry, who had a conference with him from eight to nine o'clock. Intense bustle prevails at the War Department this fore seen. Four hundred federal troops arrived from New York. About 1,800 regulars and volunteers are under tee. Tim President is calm and composed. The first question le salted a western senator bat eight was, " Will you still support me with military power?' He will doubtless issue a cell for aid to the several governors of the republican states in the course of today. . _ The Trios of the north has been heard through telegraphic despatches from every free date, assuring the President of the enthusiastic support of the government with men and mosey. The Union u•ntiment has been greatly streagthesed here since tho 'evolutionists have assumed the responsibility of inaugurating civil war. Ntw Otti.g.tna, April 13.

Intelligence ol the bombardment of Sumter has canoed • profound sensation here. The legislature has paned a resolution expreedve ad deep sorrow and regret. Othenlospatebes from all parts announce similar intelligence to the above. A despatch from New Orleans says : . .

The Turin journals of to-day contain articles applauding the reconciliation which has been effected between Garibaldi, Count Cavour, and General Cialdini. The Opinions of to-day says :—" The rumours of popular manifestations at Genoa and Bologna are without any foundation." TURIN, A.PPIL 25. The Monarekia Nationale, of to-day, mentions the joy manifested by the people at the announce- ment that Garibaldi and Count Cavour had be come reconciled, and states that the reconciliation was brought about by the influence of a very high personage, who induced them to come to• frank explanations and an open reconciliation. The same journal adds that ou the same even ing Garibaldi and General Cialdini embraced each other as reconciled brothers. NAPLES, Arm 25. A letter front Colonel Tripoti bas been pub- Bled, denying the assertion made by General Cialdini in his letter to Garibaldi, that orders had been given to receive the Sardinians in the Abrussi with musket shots. He declares that, on the contrary, Garibaldi enjoined him to receive the Sardinians as brothers. NAPLES, Aram Z. A popular demonstration in favour of Garibaldi took place yesterday on the Via Toledo. Order was not, however, disturbed. POLAND. THORN, FRIDAY. On Monday next, being the Czar's birthday, it is expected that a great popular demonstration will be made at Warsaw. Handbills are circulating in that city requesting the patriots not to appear in the streets on Monday, to close all the shops, and not to illuminate their windows, even if requested to do so with threats. THORN, Aram 25. Priam Gortschakoff has read to the Council of Administration of Warsaw • letter from the Em peror, expressing to the authorities of the city his Majesty's thanks for the re-establishment of order. Trepow, Director of Police, has been dis missed with a pension of 20,000 florins, to be paid out of the Polish treasury. Troops continue to be concentrated in Poland, where the army already numbers 80,000 men. The troops are receiving the additional payment usually granted them when placed on a war footing. It J. rumoured that a war tax amounting to 6,000,000 florins will be imposed upon the country. 1861. • EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (MHOS OVS OWS P kBLS, THURSDAY EV=ING. The Prease, having regard to the continued ag gravation of the situation at Rome, expresses great doubts of the authenticity of the assertion of the Potrie and Pays that the French go vernment has determined to maintain the stabs quo. It cannot believe that the blood of French soldiers was shed in Italy to serve the cause of Austria and her allies, and to maintain the tem poral power of the cardinals. The first number of Le Temps, conducted by M. Nefftzer, appears today. The name of its able, honest, and experienced editor is a guarantee that this new organ will be a valuable acquisition to the liberal cause. The Opinion Nationale, which has hitherto been one of the most strenuous advocates for the pro longation of the French occupation of Syria, records this evening, at the head of its leading column, and without comment, that the ratifications of the new convention have been exchanged at Paris, and that the " French government has made up its mind to recall its troops by June 5." We may therefore rationally indulge the hope that this delicate mat ter is at length satisfactorily settled. The mayor of Rennes and the prefect of the department are at daggers drawn. After leading • cat and dog life for a long while, the prefect has called upon the mayor to resign, which he refuses to do, and M. de Persigny must of necessity decide between them,and turn out one or the other. The affair of the opera of Charles VI. at Bor deaux, to which I have alluded in two previous letters, has led to the following communiqui in the Gironde sad °nitwits, which requires the light of local information to make it completely intelli gible : The journals Gironde and Macßae, in their late account of a performassm at the Grand Theatre of Bordeaux, die. toned facts, with the evident intention of exciting disorder. One of the articles contains allegations as untrue as in decent against the Prefect of the Gironde. Public opinion has already done justice upon these insinuations, which might have provoked repressive measures against the news papers is question. But the journals which have en. disavowed, or may henceforth endeavour, to sow elements of trouble la this city, so devoted to order, may rest assured that they can no longer rely upon the tolenuice of the The remarkable feature of this note, which emanates from the Prefect, M. de Mentque, who was accused of taking part in the demonstration at the theatre, is that it gives no hint of the reason why the representation of the piece wasiuterdicted. M. Carpier, manager of the Bordeaux theatre, has petitioned the Municipal Council for a sub vention to compensate the performers for the loss occasioned by the arbitrary suspension of the piece, and the council, on account of the urgency of the case, has suspended ita standing orders, and fixed • special meeting for Friday in this week to take the matter into consideration. The Bourse remains dull. The Rents scarcely varied sc. all day, and closed at 68fr. 25c. and 68fr. 30c., with a fall of 10c. and 6c. Mobilier fell 2fr. 50c. Railways were again a shade lower.

PRUSSIAN POLAND. The Berlin Chamber of Deputies was occupied on the 22nd inst. with a motion presented by the Polish deputy, Niegolewaki, that the chamber should ask the government "to take steps in order that the territorial unity of the ancient Polish state of 1772, guaranteed by the public law of Europe, as well as by the national and political rights belonging to the Poles within those limits, may become • reality." In the course of the debate which followed, the Minister of the Interior said that the government would keep in check the Polish agitation in the Grand Duchy of Poaen, whether it assumed a pacific or • warlike form. The motion was rejected by the Chamber. THE NEW YORK PRESS AND THE CIVIL WAR. From the New York Herold of April 14. Through the events of the last few - days, the last blow bas been given to the fabric of freedom, raised at such oat by the fathers of the republic. Civil war has put an end to a confederacy which had existed for three-quarters of a century, and the restitution of 1789 has been replaced by military governments. The time for argu ment has ceased, and the appeal that has been made to arms precludes the possibility of foretelling what may be the issue of the present melancholy crisis. It can scarcely be doubted that both North and South will at once proceed to adopt such ulterior measures as their respective means allow of. Fort Pickens will be reinforced immediately, and the result of operations in the bay of Pensacola, will be known in a few days. Virginia is on the eve of secession ; her example will be followed by other border states ; awl two artier, the one containing eighteen millions, and the other twelve millions of inhabitant', will be arrayed against each other in hostility. The recruitments that have recently taken place at Washington show that an invasion of the district of Columbia is dreaded, and it is not improbable that the theatre of war may be transferred to that quarter. It is to be feared, in times of such excite ment, that neither the Washington nor the Montgomery government will contain themselves within the boundaries of law. Each will assemble as many troops as it can, and will operate where it can do the greatest amount of injury to the other. Every advantage of positioo and circumstance will be availed of, and, little by little, the entire land will resound with the din of arms. As yet there has been but little damage done at Charleston, almost as little loss of life as in a battle in Mexico or Peru. But before the war is ended many lives will be sacrificed, and blood will flow r copiously as it did in the civil wars in England. The bloody scene will be chiefly in and around Washington. That will be the debateable ;potted, for pos session of the seat of government ; and while President Davis will send an army to drive President Lincoln out of it, the latter will call upon the North for help. Virginia will probably secede immediately, without waiting to go through forms, and will unite her arms with those of the Confederate States. Other border slave States will probably mingle in the strife on the same side. Lincoln, in distress, will summon to has aid the militia of Ohio, New York, Illinois, and other republican states of the northwest, as he has already called on the state troops of Pennsylvania. The fighting, there. fore, will be of the most terrible description—close, and hand to heed, with ride and musket and sword and bayonet ; not with cannon, at long range, by which "nobody is hurt." Both armies will be of the same nice, will have equal pluck, and oontend not only with their ordinary fierceness, but with the additional fury which consanguinity ever lends to the battles of brothers. Morn the New York Times of April 13.) . . . . . One thing is certain. Now that the rebels have opened the war, the people will expect the government to defend itself with vigour and determination. There is no room for belf•way measures now. There ma be no further talk of • pacific policy—of measures of conciliation—of fears of ex. aspirating the people of the Southern States. The day for that Iwo prod. The South has chosen war, and it must have all the war it wants. The issue is not made by the United States government. It is made by the South. The . . administration has gone to the very verge of pusillanimity i• its forbearance. It has endured wrongs, and tamely sub mitted to outrages, which no other government on the face of the earth would have endured for an hour. It Ins done everything consistent with honour, and many things which it is very bard to reconcile with n proper feeling of national self-respect, to avert the horrible alter native which is at last thrust upon them. For no other offence than that of trying to relieve its soldiers from starva tion, the batteries of the Southern Confederacy have been opened upon the government of the United States. The lag of the republic is to be lowered in disgrace —or the issue of war IN to be met. The President of the United States must not hesitate an instant as to the policy he will pursue, nor must be span, anything of vigour and energy in the manner of putting it into execution. He has command of the army and navy of the United States, and hen full power to summon the militia of the republic, for the protection of the government and in defence of the constitution. Ile mail instantly put forth every power at his command to maintain the authority which he represents. There cannot be the slightest doubt that en attempt will be im mediately made by the tebels to seise upon the capital. That is the point which it is of infinite imperforate that they should have. The possession of Waahington would give them instantly • position in the eyes of the world, and especially of the people of this country, which the posses. don of every fort and every arsenal on Southern soil, and of every war vessel in Southern waters, could not secure. It is idle, therefore, to shut our eyes to the certainty that they will make a speedy and desperate at tempt to seize it. Forty-eight hours would land u many men u can be embarked at Charleston, at the very gates of Waahington. Where is the force that can meet such an advance, should it be made ? President Lincoln own it to himself and to the country, to put the capital in a condition to defy any at. tempt that can possibly be made upon it. He should sum mon into the public service, from the nearest neighbouring States capable of answering the demand, at least 25,000 men, ready to start at an hour's notice, and able to plies themselves In Washington in advance of any force that could be brought against them. M. GLIZOT AND THZ Rowe CHURCH,—M. Coubnann, vice-president of ►he Society fur the Encourage ment of Elementary Education among French Protestant., writes to the Paris papers to protest against the "deployable perturbation " pert of M. Gitisoes speech which we reported on Wednesday. He says, "We arc astonished by sympa. this so alien to the Calvinist confession." And again, in conclusion, "I do not wish to see protestantism, bought by such bloodshed and tears, buried under the drapery of fallacious language and inoonsistent sympathies." A correspondent writes from Wiesbaden to the effect that **States of Nassau have renewed this year the expression of their desire to see the gaming establish manta suppressed. The committee on the budget proposes to invite the government to make a representation to the Germanic Diet on the necessity of suppressing all gaming. houses sad lotteries. The Levant Herald of the 17th says :—" Last evening Mr. Album's Negro Operatic Troupe appeared be. fore the Salton for the second time, at the Imperial Theatre. Dolma Baktche.

The report of the Medical Missionary Society at Hong-Hod co their hospital there, motions that melee,. tine is very popular with the Chinese. Lin Un, owe a governor-general of the two Korot provinces, wrote an ode in its praise beginning thus :—" The poison of opium bee been brought to China, sod although the mast stringent moans are used to prevent it, they do not succeed. Bat this foreign art of vaccination may be carried into all the provisos, and it will only prolong life." The vaccine dip penury was established in 1852. The attendance of ord. patients at the hospital during 1860 was 17,631. We learn from the North China Herald that a nun party of gentlemen intend making a journey 'of discovery from Chins ail lama to the North of the Himalayas.

A Ceylon planter, now settled in Wynaad, thus deecribes the effect of a few years coffee cultivation on title district :--" Where hundreds weekly pass along the road, twelve years ago travellers were so rare that when a man MS seen coming the beholder felt certain it could only be a ma. sage for himself ; and at a much later period a planter hadto pliop for his life from a peek of wolves within a thousand yards of where I am writing this, in the midst of $ ' smiling settlement,' and a dozen European bungalows in sight!" There are 10,000 acres in the district covered with coffee. THE VOCAL. AMOCIATION. —M.
