It being, however, as we have said, ad in the way of business that holes should be picked, or seem to be picked, somewhere in the announced arrangements, the Times .affects to find a flaw in the silence upon the question of the opium trade, , :which it describes as having been " the real cause of the war." The cause of the war was the violent spoliation and coercion of British subjects, and the insolent disrc izard of tile rights of the representatives of this country. For reparation of these wrongs, and not for the opium trade, or any other trade, we showed .ourselves in arms on the coast of China. It is true that the same con cessions which secure the future rights of our func tionaries will secure the advantages which will naturally fl„)iv from those rights to our commerce. And the ter ritorial position which we have obtained as further in. (felinity and security, will confer advantages of the most important nature on our commercial interests.

The Non-intrusionists in Scotland are preparing to play their last card. By dint of agitation they have gathered around them a goodly number of silly old women, and, as the late Dr. Andrew Thomsen, •of Edinburgh, happily expressed it, "sillier old men and if they do not obt sin from Parliament the recog, nition of th e i r " fundamental principle," as demanded and the sar:rifice of the Ministers of Strathhogie, as vic tims on the altar of the Church's independence, they, along with their congregations, are to secede! and,being the majority, to break up the Establishment ! The plot is developed in a " Letter to Dr. Cook and the Mo derate Brethren," who, in order to save the Kirk from this terrible calamity, are very coolly called upon to sacrifice all the principles that uphold the Reformation itself! In our paper of the Ist of March, we warned our readers of this plot, which is now maturing. It is, no doubt, thought " a good plot"—" an excellent plot r" but we venture to say, that it will not succeed. Since Dr. Forbes, of Aberdeen, published his " Considerations,' the points at issue in this Scotch-kirk-controversy are standing forth in broad relief; and the contest is resolving into the narrow field of civil or spiritual su premacy in this land of Protestant light and liberty. '['he issue of this contest cannot be doubted ; but independent of this we venture to say, that the discoveries that will be made under the search ing ordeal of judicial decisions will astonish " the weak capacities" of our Presbaterian friends, on " the north side of the Tweed " They have Leen indulging in a dream of spiritual independence, from which, thanks to their own folly, they are about to be awakened with a witness ; and if at the Re formations in 1560 and 1638, and at the Revolu tion in I 68S, it is found that this dream was very far from being realized, the chances in its fa vour are wonderful) , diminished in 1841. In the meantime we venture to predict that, whether patronage is to be sacrificed to Non-intrusion, or to what extent the monster is to be muzzled, the Strath. bogie ministers will never he sacrificed to the indepen dence of the Kirk ; aid if this is the tenure on which the dominant faction are to remain within the Est.ih lishinenr, the sooner they secede the better. It would indeed be a pity if the Church of Scotland should fall with them ; but, " Fiat juslilie. rout calum." GREENWICH F A I It.

LONDON, SATURDAY, APRIL 10, 1841 For these reasons, and remembering the premature exul tation withwbioh former delusive reports of the settlement of this embarrassing quarrel were received by the satellites of Downing-street, we think it impossible to place any reli ance upon the finality of the arrangement which seems to have been made between Captain Elliot and Ke-shen. But upon the hypothesis that such an arrangement his been made, and that it may become the basis of a Treaty between Great Britain and Chi n a—an a tsumption which we shall consider extremely precarious till the ratificaticns of the Treaty hart been actually exchanged—it may be expedient to consider what the terms of these preliminary articles really amount to. It kill be observe], that they are ab:solutely silent upon the question of the opium trade, the real cause of the war. " The trade of the post cf Canton " is to be re-opened within ten days after the Chiaesc., new year ; but whether the Government of China w.ll t'neneeforward legalize the importation of opium, or whether the •British Government will undertake to co- operate with the Chinese for the suppression of the illicit traffic in that drug, this most important queAt;on is corn pl,tely massed over in the preliminary amides, and we suppose is included in those " detail." which are to " re main matter of negotiation." It may be safely predicted, that unless some definite understanding is come to on this head, there can be no security for even a short conti nuance of unint rrupted commerce or pacific relations be t Ween the two countries. That Great Britain should in. sist ,:eon the 1 galization of opium in China, or that Chinn should concede such a point, except under the pressure of overwhelming necessity, cannot be expected. On the Contrary, the Chinese Government may, arid probably will, insist upon a guarantee from Great Britain agaiast the future prosecution of that traffic either at Haug Kong or elsewhere within the Chinese seas by British subjects. Such a demand would be very embarrass ing to our plenipotentiary ; for the cessioa of Ilong Kong, and the proposed removal of the foreign trade from Whampoa to that island, will make it impossible for him to decline giving the required guarantee on the plea of want of power; while, hs,s accedes; to the stipulation, he would damage the Indian revenue to the amount of a mil lion sterling per annum ; and, on the other hand, by re fusing it, would give Ke-shen a fair opportunity of break ing off the negotiation, and getting rid of his original con cessiens. The next point to be noticed is the amount of indemnity to Great Britain which Ke-then bee agreed to pay, and Captain Elliot to accept. The 3,000,000/. which were talked of so confidently upon the return of Admiral Elliot from the gulf of Pechelee, have now shrunk into 6 000,000 dollars, being considerably less than one /id/of the former sum ; and for the payment of even this sum the Chinese are to have a six years' credit. Of the vaunted 3,000,0001, one million, it was said, was destined to defray tha expenses of the expedition, which certainly will not fall short of that amount ; so that the unfortunate Parsecs and other merchants, who have been so long tantalized with the hope of seeing a full compensation for their confiscated opium extracted from the Chinese treasury, will have to be contented with less than one. fifth of the principal which they embarked in that luckless adventure. What will our friends in the City say to this? We suspect they will not think that such a set tlement of their claims adds much to the diplomatic laurels of the Whig Ministry. We now come to those concessions on the part of the Chinese, which at first sight seem more important and satisfactory, but the value of which (even supposing them to be ratified by the Emperor) may be much affected by these " details" which are reserved for further negotiation. In the first place (we follow the order of comparative importance rather than that in which the preliminary articles are arranged). there is to be " direct official intercourse between the countries upon an equal footing." It this means that a British Ambassador is to reside at Pekin, as the recognised representative of a Sovereign of equal dignity with the celestial Empe ror, we think it is a great result, which may be pregnant with sery considerable consequences to China, England, and the civilized world—a result not unworthy to be pur chased by the expenditure of millions. But if (as we more than suspect) it is only intended that a British Con sul at Canton shall have new facilities of communication with provine sal Viceroys, and may write letters to them without superscribing the character " Pin," we think the stipulation almost as valuable as the privilege of a certain Irish Earl to stand with his hat upon his head in the pre sence of Queen Victoria. The other substantial point gained is " the cession of the island and harbour of Hong Kong to the British Crown," and the stipulation for malting this the future mart of the foreign trade. This arrangement, if bona Ala cariied into effeer, will ceit drily be most bene ficial to our mercantile interests. The situation of Hong- Konn is infinitely more convenient for the purposes of trade than that of Nlacao ; a settlement formed there will be capable of maintaining itself independently of the Chinese, and the recognition of a territorial right in the Bcitieli Crown, as well as the terror of the British name, will give our countrymen advantages which were never pos seesed by the Portuguese in China. We do not, how ever, understand what is meant by the stipulation, that " all just charges and duties to the empire upon the cum merckearricd on three ( it Hong Kong) sh ill be paid as if the trade were conducted at Waempoa." If Chinese cus toms are to be levies], and Chinese revenue officers are to exercise a jurisdiction within the ceded territory, so extra ordinary a reservation cannot fail hereafter to give rise to disputes as to the extant and character of the cession. On the other hand, it is net to be supposed that the Chinese will intrust the collection of their duties to the local Bri tish aatho,ities. The article only becomes intelligible when we assume that the Emperor wishes to retain some right of sovereignty in Hong Kong. Why cannot the " just chasges and duties to the empire," which ate here referred to, be levied upon all exports and imports within the limits of the empire itself? (From the Morning Herald.) " That men can gain a loss" is a proposition which has been often disputed—by some, on account of the solecism it irivelves in its mere enunciation —by others (who are quite indifferent about bad logic), on the ground that the terms are a mere confusion of the Dr. and Cr. sides of an account. But the news from China, brought by the Indian mail, and which we give is another column, un der the heed of our " Extraordinary Express," seems to realise the notion of this absurdity. And we must own, that if any one incident could give a degree of pro bability to the statement that such a prodigy had been achieved as " the gain of a lost," it would be the connection of the transactions out of which it is said to have arisen, with that inauspicious genius which has so long associated the British name and interests in China with recollections of insult, presumption, and outrage on one side ; of timidity, confusion, rashness, and imbecility on the about the ehi n il et:h r iee e l t d setar w rui e gt e g c w e h l o l i e cf c h t all the o o pre d liminary l i l u e rns r ci e ui n tai d b!, theeobrlse f B l r e h d i h t to seizure of the property and persons of British mer chants, to the development of the wavering policy of Mr. Superintendent Elliot ; to his very high and his very low pitched pri:clamations ; to the effective confiscation and destruction of all that mountain of opium, which he coi l( c'cd in la- t e and small quantities from the English supercargoes and masters cf ships in the waters of Canton, and surrendered to the Chinese authorities; to the subse quent violences and affronts put by the Chinese on the British residents at Canton ; the outbreak of hostilities between the British and Chinese naval force ; the capture from the latter of the island of Clausen ; the invasion of the Pe-tchee-li province; the passage up the Pei Ho; the encounter with the Imperial Commissioners, who deemed that the Admiral's boating expedition was coming consi derably too near to Pekin to be pleasant ; the fated facility himself' to be wheedled by the of our chief in allowing clever diplomatists of long tails and three buttons, into an immediate return to Chusan ; and the usual Chinese pan tomime of promised inquiry, reparation, and justice to bo instituted and rendered at the very place where their people had visited those insults on the British honour and dig nity,—so soon as the British officer, who had all the ne cessary means of vindicating his flag and bringing the enemy to reason, should have also repaired thither, re tracing his long and weary course to a distant extremity of the empire, from whence it would not be possible for him to return by sea,—owing to the season that was set ting in, for some five or six months to come, so as to be again en route for Pekin, Fresh insults had, at the date of the last accounts received in England, prior to those which we published in the Herald of yesterday, induced Sir Gordon Bremer (who had succeeded te the com mand of the British squadron) to threaten exemplary re prisals if ample satisfaction were not given for these new aggressions. At this point, our summary of Chinese intelligence is re sumed to-day. Now what is the amount of these commu nications? " The Chumpee and Tykokrow forts had been taken on the 7th January, and effectually destroyed on the tell and 9th, since when the preliminary 'treaty had been signed, and the Chinese signified officially by the Plenipotentiary at Whampoa their assent to the following articles : " I. The cession of the island of Hong Kong to the British Crown. " 2. An indemnity to the British Government of 6,000,000 of dollars, payable in six yearly instalments. " 3. Direct official intercourse between both nations on equal fontirg. " 4. Trade of Canton to be opened in ten days after the Chinese new year." Ia any observations we have now to offer, we must as sume that these statements are substantially true ; yet how to believe it we confess we know not. Terms so palpably disadvantageous, compensation so inadequate, cessions so worthless, surely were never accepted, even in the bung ling career of British diplomacy, by any former agent wimse incompetency has at any time prejudiced the in terests of the itish Crown. We may grant, indeed, that if the phraseology of treaties were capable of being ren dered as definitive in expression, and likely to be vs accurately observed in spirit in China as it would be in negotiations between two European powers, a very con siderable principle would have been asserted and recog niohi in an article like No. 3—that should really "esta blish the official relations between the two Governments on the footing of a perfect equality." But the Chinese ; authorities understand, or will choose to understand just as much of our "barbtrian " notions of official relations, as, we will venture to say, " Plcnipote.itiary Elliott" really b k e r i a i te ig ws pu ah t ouuptonßa im Buddhism ; foo tanding as with functionaries, why " perfect equality" must seem to them to otuhre function aries Chinese a monstrosity as grotesque and incomprehensible as any idol that Sir Gordon Bremer may have seen in any joss. hause. All their habits of civil life,--all the strongly marked and rigidly-enforced gradations of rank and ceremonial which pervade the whole machinery of their Government, and the constitution of domes tic society among therm—render the notion of perfect equality between their effieisle and those of a foreign coun try a preposterous delusion. Before we treat on Article I, which cedes the island of Hong Kong to Great Britain, we must pause to compliment the Globe on its very extroordinary leader of yesterday evening, headed " Arrangement of the Dispute with China." It talks of " the paucity "of knowledge in other articles which had treated, before its own lucubrations, of the state of our re lations with China, and with a gravity which is the nearest approach to a joke tee can remember in our oracular Con temporary, it reads a lofty lscture to all who have presumed to doubt, in the evolution of the several events to which we have referred above, the presence of the most profound sagacity and far-seeing wisdom in all the measures adopted by Captain Eliiet and by Admiral Elliot, and in all the orders issued, and the policy acted upon at home, in refer ence to our affairs in the Celestial Empire. Now, let us see how this learned lecturer (who is very angry that no body would listen to his predictions as to what he calls this " gratifying termination" of our disputes with China, and that the " Times should have thundered its indignation, and the lesser organs of party squeaked their disappointment at the delay " which had intervened in the progress of the cape dition)—let us see how lie enlightens the public on matters which other journalists have so misunderstood : " Thus it will be perceived that, within a month after the date of the last intelligence from China, the unsatisfactory' tenor of which called forth animadversions on the British Go vernment and on those it had commissioned to act in its name, with or against the Chinese Government, the negotiations were brought to a close ' • an island appropriat e d as th e f u t ure residence of the British, and the seat of our commerce with the empire ; an indemnity of six millions of dollars for the losses sustained by British subjects, by the confiscation of their ploperty by the Chinese authorities." Is this writer really blind to the fact that the intelli gence upon which he is thus hugging himself supplies the most unanswerable argument to justify the " dissa iisfaetion" at which he is so wroth of people rather more clear-witted than himself. Why, to talk as he does (evidently under the most profound and unsuspect ing ignorance of all the data, geegraplaicel and hydro graphical, that should have governed the judgment of any ore undertaking to pronounce thus broadly an opinion on such a mater) is really to challenge to him self somewhat of that uncivil animadversion which he so readily bestows on others. We shall observe, by the way, that had our Contemporary attended sonic schools, where the schoolmaster in less " abroad " than he ap pears to be, habitually, at the Globe office, he himself would have stood a fair chance of " squeaking," after falling into so stupendous a blunder as the island of llong Kong tempts him into. Au island destined to be " the future residence of the British, and the seat of our commerce with the Chinese empire I" As well might he talk of Haling island, of Sheppey, or some other mud bank in the estuary of any of our rivers, becoming the future Sicily of another Italy—its granary, and its magazine I It is about the most inconvenient and defenceless post into which the crafty " concessions" of the Chinese could have duped our unfortunate Superintendent. Approachable on every side only through dangerous straits, studded with islets, beset with rapid and uncertain currents, with shifting mud-banks, and, consequently, ever-varying soundings, with only oneextremity of the greater, or Lamma channel (which intervenes between it and the very much larger island of Lan-ta no), practicable during the north monsoons; and with its eastern, or Lcma channel, subject to the violence of the typhoons (the most destructive gales that sweep those seas)— it is impossible to imagine a position in the defence toi for the relief of which our ships of wat could act with less effect. They would be en tangled amidst clusters of those innumerable islets, which it would require their whole undivided attention safely to work among. The large war junks of the Chinese could readily, wherever the river allowed our own shipping to act, block up every avenue beyond the outer waters of the Can ton River. Even the two or three good anchorages of Hong King would be available only to the smaller class of steam craft ; and though it has many good runs of water, and raises seine good esculents, the defects of its geographic..l position will sever admit of these advantages being deve loped on any large scale for the benefit and refreshment of our marine. But the Globe is so possessed with its "satis factory" vein, that it absolutely finds matter of c mgratula lion in the indemnity which China undertakes to pay to Great Britain. \Vnat is it? Six millions of—Dollars l payable in—six years I (No doubt with compound inte rest, to be liquidated " ad Grcccas .Kalendas.") Now, the estimated valu a of the opium surrendered by Cant. Elliott Was, in round numbers £2,500,000 The expense of the armament, &e., by the -latest estimate The total cost to Great Britain of the opium dispute 'with China At the best price the Spanish dollar is now fetching in Canton, six millions in specie would not represent more than _ti- _ And thus there would be a deficiency as be tween the total cost and the indemnity 0f... 2,800,000 The difference between the value of the opium de-' stroyed, alone, and tte promised indemnity, woad be 1,300,000/. against the British Owners. But it, without retrospect as t r interest for the past, and reckoning only for the simple interest of the money for the future (with -a out crediting it for each instalment), we add to this last sure six years' interest on 1,200,0001. (the awitint of the indemnity) at 5 per cent. (or 360,0001. ), the deficiency between the total of loss to the British merchants, and the indemnity to be airen, then will be 1,660,0001, We have all heard of Flemish accounts !" Preserve us, say we, from Chinese accounts, at least where Captain Elliot is to superintend their adjustment (assuming our premises to be true) ; let us be subject to them only, in commercial par lance, with ‘• errors excepted." The Globe cannot take le ive of its China intelligence without again recurring to Bong Kong. For once we cannot close a leader without again adverting to the Globe. It discovers that " the " Substitution of Hong Kong for Canton, as the mart for commerce between the two countries, will also greatly increase the facilities of trade, and reduce the expense at which it has been earliest on. Of all the other ports of the empire, Canton was thu worst adapted for the purposes of our trading inter course with the Chinese, for the simple reason, that the staple articles of export, tea and silk, are brought from the northern provinces at a heavy expense, while the equally heavy charges of conveying our woollens to the north form an insuperable barrier to any great increase in their consumption." It is fit that we should apprise ourCoutemporary that the substitution of " Hong Kong " will have just the contrary effect to that which he anticipates. It " will ov.caeasr. the facilities of trade, and INCREASE the expense at which it has been carried on." And we beg to add, in his own words, "for this simple reason, that the staple articles of export " b ing, as he says, " brought from the northern provinces at a heavy expense to Canton," will be very much dearer for being unshipped and carried nearly 80 or 100 miles (by the windings of the channel) and through an intricate navigation, further to the SOUTH. (From the Illorning Post.) Our Ministerial journalists are, we observe, very induss triously reprinting the leading articles—the same, at least, in substance, and very nearly the same, so far as we recol lect, in words—with which they favoured the public some four months ago, when they exulted a little prematurely upon the glorious and triumphant settlement of the dispute with China. In one respect our Contemporaries are likely, we think, to prove less unfortunate. this time than they were before. It will turn out probably that something approaching to a settlement of the dispute has at last been accomplished. But we confess we do not perce:ve in the intelligence before us any reason to conclude that the settlement is a very glorious and triumphant one. The avowed objects of the expedition were to ob tain compensation fur losses and injuries inflicted upon our merchants, and satisfactory guarantees for the future secu. rity of our commerce with Chins. As to the first of these objects, it is stated that the Emperor of China is to pay, as a compensation to the British Government for the opium destroyed at Canton, the sum of six million dollars, or about 1,250,0001., in six equal annual instalments, so that the full payment will not have been made before the year 1847. Is this an adequate compensation ? We fear not ; for it is ernsiderably less than half the sum, the expecta tion of which, four months ago (when we recollect it was to be paid down at once), excited so much joy in the minds, and diffused so much boasting over the pages of our Ministerial Contemporaries. If the former sum is enough the latter must have been a vile extortion; and surely the organs of an Administration so moderate and just as the present would not have exulted in the idea of successful extortion practised upon a defenceless State. On the other hand, if the three millions sterling then to be paid down was no more thstn an adequate compensa ti )n, where is the cause of triumph, now that we submit to take less than fifty per cent. of our just claim, without reckoning anything for the cost of the expedition in mot.ey, and, what is more valuable than money, the lives o four gallant soldiers ? And as to security for the future inter course of our merchants with China, it certainly seems to us that less could scarcely have been done. The island of Hong Kong, for which we arc to give up our conquest of Chusan, is described to us as the least adapted for the purposes of trade that could have been selected in the neighbourhood of Canton. It is out in the ocean, where none cf the Chinese junks or boats that carry mer chandise to and from our shipping will venture. In ad dition to this acquisition, we are to enjoy , it seems, the privilegeofmaintainin g h an Ambassador in China, a pri , as experience teaches us, w ill Ciclpeegned tar;; value of a very much on the character of tb'e Ambassador by whom we may be represented. Let us hope they may not always be Elliots. (From the Globe.) It is nothing more than natural, and in the every-day way of business, that the organs of the party who are out of power should find all grapes sour that are plucked by the party who are in—and which the Tory vulpine sagacity had imagined, or feigned, to be out of reach. This is done, however, by the several morning malcon tents " with a difference." The Times is not stupid enough, though the Herald is, to suppose it can suc cessfully dissemble the great advantages procured to this country by the conceded arrangement of the Chinese affair. Tne litter has discovered that there is a very much larger island (Lan-to-oo), to which it infers, we presume, that we should have accorded a preference. No doubt, had such been the case (and Hong-Kong is in all conscience large enough, besides its great advantages of anchorage, so absurdly . depreciated), we should have been told of the folly of taking possession of a station embarrassing by its extent. The Times takes a more correct view of the local advantege conceded to us :—" This arrange ment, if bona fide carried into effect, will certainly be most beneficial to our mercantile interests.

( From the Morning Chronicle ) It is precisely twelve months to-day since the House of Commons negatived the motion of Sir James Graham to censure the conduct of Ministers in entering upon' hostili ties with China. Few of our readers, we think, will deny that the intelligence which we publish to-day, the 9th of April, 1841, is an ample justification of the vote of the 9th of April, 1840. There is no country ;n the world in which a Minister is more frequently tried than in Englaed, by the unjust test of the results rather than the principles of his policy ; and we think we may say with confidence, that there have Leen few Ministries that have stood the test more triumphantly than the present. From Sir James Graham, who opened the debate last year, to Sir Robert Peel, who closed it on the part of the Tories, there was not one opponent of the policy of Ministers who did not seek to intimidate the House of Commons into an adverse vote by the most sinister prognostications of the result. We were " entering upon no little war—upon no war to he terminated in a single campaign. It was one which would be attended with circumstances no less formidable than the magnitude of the interests which were at stake. If a war with China were to t eke place, it should be remembered that it was a contest which would be carried on at the remotest part of the habitable globe, and where the monsoons would materially interfere with the communications which must be had with this country. It was to be carried on at an immense distance from all our naval stations. The squadrons which would be sent out would be exposed to various dangers. They would arrive at their destination after a long voyage, pent up in crowded transports, and wearied with the fatigues of an element which our land forces abhor ; they would come to the scene of action with abated strength and dimishod ener gies." Such were the patriotic and statesmanlike views of Sir James Graham ; while so hopeless did the case appear to Sir Robert Pee!, that he had nothing left but to " pray the Almighty Disposer, from whom all just counsel and good works proceed, to avert the calamities and turn from us the evils which the incapacity of our rulers has most righteously deserved." What a triumphant answer to all this is the convention signed by Captain El. liot ! Every object of our policy accomplished "in a single campaign "—at an incredibly small expenditure either of life or of means. The wrongs of our merchants have been redressed—the position of our trade immensely benefited—increased facilities given for carrying it on In future, and our diplomatic intercourse freed from those offensive and humiliating forms, so long a source of se rious embarrassment between the countries. it is cer tainly not a very gratifying reflection, nor one very cre ditable to the principles of party warfare an this count r y, that objects of this magnitude and national character should be staked upon a trial of strength, and saved from defeat only by a majority of nine votes. If Tory ism were not as unteachable as it is unprincipled, the events of the last few years ought to teach it many a salutery lesson. At home, every step in improvement has been a step in opposition to Toryism. Abroad, wherever generous principles of Government have tri umphed, it has been in spite of Tory opposition ; where ever the policy most consonant with the interests of Eng land has been established, it has been in spite of Tory op position. In Portugal, the English Tories were the abettors of absolutism and Don Miguel, even at the mo ment that both were in active hostility with British sub jects and British interests. The principle of absolute government is crushed in Portugal. and its representa tive no otherwise known than as a debauched mendicant subsisting upon the charity of the Papal Court. In Spain, the English Tories mainly contributed to keep alive a sanguinary civil war in support of the same prin ciple, and in Spain, as in Portugal, with the same re sult. So in the Belgian question, we find them for years supporting the obstinacy of the King of Holland, throw ine obstacles in the way of a settlement, and then urging the delay in settlement as an accusation against their opponents. Precisely when delay had produced all the evil it could to the protege of Toryism, he consented to a settlement. With the Eastern question they did not interfere—because it was begun and finished before they had time to interfere. But had " the Treaty of July" been a " Treaty of February," or of March, there is little doubt the month of April would not have passed without a motion upon the impolicy of entering into hostilitea in Syria. The candour and straightforwardness of English men will not listen to the sneaking attempts to undervalue the successes which have crowned the policy ef Govern ment, by ascribing events which hare occurred to " happy accident." Accident is not so uniform in its attendance upon the " incapacity and imbecility of rulers," Accident does not foresee the occult designs of others, and defeat them by proportioning the means to the end with such nice discrimination—necomplishing great objects of national po licy, while pressing with the least possible weight upon na tional resources. It was not accident that reconciled the discordant views of the Powers of Europe upon those very questions upon which they seemed most discordant, and gars to the world renewed guar antees for the p reservation of general peace. Accident, indeed, may betray Tories into approbation of sound and honest policy, but will not induce the people of England to withhold their approval of eminent success, won by foresight, prudence, and firmness, maintaining the honour, and contributing to,lthe interests of the country. (From the Times.) The important news from China, which we publish to-day, holds out some prospect of a speedy, if not an advantageous, settlement of our differences with that vast empire. A vigorous " demonstration," which ended in the capture of the forts at the entrance of :he Canton River, seems to have satisfied the Imperial Plenipoten• tiary that it was necessary to negotiate in earnest ; and on the 29th of January the preliminaries of a treaty of peace are stated to have been arranged. In considering the value of these preliminaries, it must be borne in mind that they were extorted from the Chinese at the cannon's mouth, and that, in all proba bility, when the panic of the moment was over, t.. ii e:e would be a very strong disposition to recede from tlit.rn. Neither can it escape our readers that the express which communicates . this intelligence contains also the ominous words, " Details still remain matter of negotiation." Every day's experience teaches us, that in affairs of this sort, what is matter of principle widi one party, is constantly treated or represented as matter of de tail by th© other; and the Chinese diplomatists will doubt leo strain every nerve to evade or counteract the effect of their own concessions, by making stipulations inconsistent with them in the further stages of the negotiation ; or, at a ll events, do their best to protract those further stages to an indefinite period. And, after all, the power of ratify. ing or rejecting the articles agreed upon at Canton will ult i mate ly rest, not with the Commiisioner on t.:e spot, but with the Emperor at Pekin. The communication by post between Canton . and the capital occupies not le?s i than 20 days, and it is impossible to foresee how frequently real or supposed occasions for reference to head quarters m progress of the discussions.

C HRONICLE.—The intelligence of the settlement of the dispute with China, announced in the Chronicle this morning, has been received with great satisfaction, and all classes are impressed with the importance and in calculable benefits which may ensue to our trade and com merce fromathe opening up of so immense a market for the produce of British industry. Throughout the day anxiety seas intense to learn of further arrivals with details, and towards four o'clock it was generally expected that fresh information would be communicated in a second edition ; but at the close of business, and indeed up to five o'clock, no.hing further had transpired in the City. The imme diete effect upon the English funds was merely a rise of per cent., and at the close the quotations • were only per cent. better than yesterday, Consols for the Account ringolbaed at 90 to for the Account, and left off' at A - to '9O. The Tea Market has been sensibly influenced, haakineitnmediately given slay 3d. per lb. for Company's Congous. The disappearance of a member of the Stock Exchange, to which we alluded yesterday, continues to excite atten ti in, and we hear that 4,0001. in Exchequer Bills, belong ing to the Decayed Fund, which be hold as the treasurer of that charity, are not to be found. A point of some very fit to exercise the talents of the gentlemen of the long robe, is likely to arise out of the embarrassments of this defaulter. It seems he obtained 2,0001. on the 6 , h inst., on a Bank check, from another member of the house, for which he gave his o wn check, dated yesterday, uto 7 ln tl n i t i o n n st p " ra f ) e r tic a e s b im et i w la e r en am m ou e n m t b i e n rs ex o c f h change to accommodate each o ther in this way by an in tahl'ege.Stolctk isEnxo terchange of checks when a party, who has taken a large amount of money stock, finds himself short of Bank notes after transfer hours, which prevents him supplying his de fici.mcy till the following day. • In the present case it is understood that the defaulter, whose credit was undoubted, applied to another member of the house for a loan of 2,0001, for the day, saying he was in want of notes to pay for some stock which he bad bought, and as be could not, after the hour at which he applied for the :iccornmodati m, transfer stock as a secur ity, he would give his check for the amount pay able on the following day, obtaining what he wishes! for that day, namely, a crossed check, which would be received as money at the clearing. The gentleman to whom he applied is said to have acceded to the proposi tion, but we hear that he also received dividend warrants from the defaulter in security, and the nice question in volved is, whether the Bank of England will pay them when presented. The dividends on Reduced and Long Annuities arc tc-day in course of payment to the public. But, its regards banker:, a special rule is observed, to avoid crowding and inconvenience, by which they sign the Bank books two days before, and obtain their warrants at the same time on the cashier. Oa the 6th instant the defaulter in this case, who on that day signed the Bank books for the stock which he had authority to draw for as attorney, received the warrants in exchange, and before disappearance delivered part of them to the party as a security from whom lie received the 2,000/. by Bank check. At least, it is quite understood that the party who gave him the check holds dividend warrants in security, and the question comes to be, will the Bank of England pay them when presented? Had the giver of them not been a banker, the matter would have been free from all doubt, as the seeiniey could not have been completed before this day ; bat in the case of bankers, the books and warrants are signed, witnessed, and de livered two days before ; and it is maintained by some that the warrants granted on that day to the defaulter were valid complete documents of debts, payable to bearer. Under these circumstances, it is supposed that the Di rectors of the Bank of England would be at some loss how to act in the event of payment being demanded. It is said that the proprietors of the stock, for whom the defaulter acted as attorney, would, in the meantime, give the Bank an indemnity to protect them a g ainst the consequences of refusal, and that a distringas would also be applied for to have the quea:ion of liability settled in a court of law. HE RA LD.—The favourable tenour of the intelligence communicated this morning from China, in anticipation of the overland mail, ought, according to the anticipations of the dealers, to have advanced the prices of stocks by some 2, or 1 per cent. at least, but no such effect was produced, for Consols only reached 89i to 90 for money and account. being a rise of a shade more than per cent. Admitting that all is really settled with Chins, accord ing to the accounts now received, the fact is considered only as the prelude to some other war or wars, involving a continuation of the same ruinous expense, and the issue of which, as of the Dutch, Portuguese, Spanish, Syrian, Indian and Chinese wars serves only to impoverish the national resources, and to afford an opportunity, as with Holland and Portugal, to injure commerce and favour the abolition of such commercial treaties as conferred privi leges on the trade of this country. The foreign market experienced the benefit of the good news more strongly than the home funds, so that it might reasonably be supposed the 6,000,000 dollars from China were coming in part payment of Spanish and Portuguese dividends, and that the island of Hong Kong was ceded as security for the balance. A good deal of amusement was created in the Cit y th i s evening by a very pleasant vain-glorious article in the Mi nisterial evening sage, the Globe, the writer of which very decisively intimates the very great disadvantages and heavy charges incident to carrying on trade at Canton, de all which arc to be re nova by removing the s eat of tra newly ceded port of Hong Kong , whic h is very clearly n ant dicated to he advantageously situate some hundreds, if thousands, of miles northward of Canto n, somewhere about the great tea and silk districts of Ch ekian g , or Kiang, to in the other hanging places, and therefore w hich nobody would suspect to be actually placed, as Hong Kong reall y is, if geographers, Commodore Bremer and Cap tain Ellio t , are to be believed, right at the door of Canton, that is, just so near as to be considered the knocker of the door of Can ton. The evening sage of the Foreign-office moreover complacently assumes that the seat of British trade is to be 2 little does en established at Hong Kong, and descants accordingly in most fervid prose on the conquests achieved by Foreign. certainlyai t i n could t hardly warehouse, office statesmanship in favour of British trade. Any City dealer in Bohea and Souchong, however, would inform this wooden-headed mandarin that the little islet of that i n nw y hf c ai o ce n lti t if covered with buildings, a thousand chests of tea, to say nothing of cotton bales, cotton and woollen goods, &c., imported. It is hard to be obliged to teach the up-grown j dunce of the Globe a little geography, but it is respect. fully submitted that British trade is to be carried on as aoct.theacre Hong of Kong heretofore at Canton; that Hong Kong is merely a site oon G l o be e n dn, wouldaw dP EDITION , n which to construct a fort, ilish a small garrison, under British shipping may anchor waiting for the "chops" to be p the " inner sea," or river of —.r of form like that of waiting for a pilot off Dr.al or Dever, or, as old tiare, call:ng oft' Gravesend for a license for London. Hong Kong, there fore, it is clear, is not 1,000 miles from Canton, and Bri tish trade and traders will be just as much indigenous in the Canton market as heretofore. The Globe moreover magnificently swells about the ex pectation of receiving its overland India despatch in time for a second edition, to be published for the benefit of its readers. This is, as the City folks say, coming the " very grime" with a vengeance. Hitherto the modest evening ladron has kern content to borrow its India despatch from the first and second editions of the morning pape r s ; arid in the present instance calculate.l, as it th oug h t secure l y, on a late second edition of its morning lea:ters for the usual supply, from the report unisers.lly current of the arrival of the overland despatch and the in;ended publica tion of it ie second editions of the morning papers. Un happily the Globe was disappointed, and of cour,e will have to account to-morrow for the non-arrival of its own overland India despatch. Nobody ever before suspected the Globe of the enormous prodigality, of which its morn ing feeders are guilty it must be owned, of expe n di ng about 1501. on one India despatch. But no: content with overland despatches, the Globe claims credit more over for receiving early news from China by way of St. Petersburg and Kiachta. The unfortunate scribbler must conceive that people cannot put two and trio together to make four. For instance, in the Globe of the 6th there was a report of favourable news from China, the facts neither defined nor stated, said to have reached town by way of St. Petersburg. Now the fa vourable eiteligeace reached Marseilles on the 4th, and was immediAtely telegraphed to Paris on the same day, where it would be received in some three or four hours, if geeeat weather. From Paris to Calais a few minutes suffice, and afe v hours more to Dover and London. So that on the sth instant, or on the morning of the 6:11 at the outside, it would be communicated from the French embassy here to the Foreign-office, f.om whence the mu tilated report by some door-keeper, or humble attendant editor, would reach the Globe-office, disfigured purposely in its origin, and credulously behoved as from St. Pe tersburg. Of course the Globe people cannot know it, but it is altogether improbable, without a most extraordinary and itmost impossible combination of circumstances, that the news of the termination of the differences could have been received by the way of St. Petersburg. For instance, the convention was concluded on the 29th of January, and might be in Canton on the 30th. From Canton io Pekin the distance is about 1,500 miles, and through Pekin the news only could trait- Tire for Russia. But it was net likely to transpire in a court so silentious for many days, and if it did, where were the couriers to carry it to Kiachta ? There is no post-office, mail-coaches, or railroads from Pekin to Kiachta, moreover there are no diplomatic agents resident at Pekin by whom such news would be forwarded. The early transmission, when it occurs, and that once only since the commencement of the Chinese dispute, is a mere chance of commercial despatch, and casual combination by which early arrival at Kiachta is achieved, from whence V) St. Petersburg the course is more clear and speedy, as being an afidr of the Russian Government. It may hap pen, undoubtedly, that Russia would take all the means possible for early information in an affair so interesting to her as relating to the fate of China, and therefore so far as on her depended news would be accelerated. But from Kachta to St. Petersburg alone the, journey by courier is understood to occupy about 28 days. Having taken this pains gratuitously to assist the ignorance or education of the evening organ, and of its principal of the Foreign office, no more remains to be said. POST.—The news received to-day from India and China, though favourable, had been so far "discounted," to use a Stock Exchange phrae, as to have had no effect upon the value of the public securities, beyond the incon siderable extent of to per cent. The only additional fact of any great importance that transpired today. in connection with the failure of Messrs. Wakefiel 1, the Stock Brokers, has been with respect to some securities held in trust by the senior partner as Trea- , surer of the fund of the decayed members of the Stock Exchange. It appears that he had deposited in his hands n that capacity Exchequer bills to the amount of four thousand pounds, and that no information has yet been pro cured concerning them to satisfy the Committee of Man agement of their safety. We have no great doubt, how ever, that funds of so specially sacred a character will have been respected, whatever may be the defalcations of Messrs. Wakefield in other particulars. The claims gene rally upon the firm arc found to be to the amount of about 66,000/. . . It affords us pleasure to be be able to state, that there is probably no reason whatever to suppose the suspension of Messrs. Wal;Cfie:d was in any way accelerated by the circumstance of the elder of the firm having been surety for one or more of the official assignees of the Court of Bankruptcy. Mr. Turquand was, we understand, the only parson far whom either one or tho other of the firm had taken upon himself ails re;ponsibility, and, if any unfavourable surmises respecting that gentleman be enter tained, the following communication which he has ad dressed to us, will effectually set them at rest : "TO THE EDITOR OF TILE MORNING POST. Copthall 7 buildings, April 8, 1841. " Sir,—Having had my attention called to your observa tions in the City article of this day's publication of the Morn ing Post, and being, as 1 believe, the only official assignee for whom Mr. Wakefield, senior, was a surety, I take the liberty of addressing you. I beg you will insert in your next publica tion my most unqualified denial of the assumption that 1 (the individual guaranteed) have placed any'snrii of money belonging to the creditors, on whose behalf I have been employed, in the hands of Messrs. Wakefield. It is true they were my private bans ers, but not one shilling have I ever paid into that account at all connected with the bankruptcies under which I have acted, except what has been awarded to me for my remuneration by the Com missioners. I cannot but lament the failure of Messrs. Wakefield, but of the cause which led to it I am who* ignorant. Still more do I, in common with the other official assignees, lament that one of our body—l mean, of course, Mr. Abbot—should have be trayed his trust; and I believe I am stating what is the ge neral feeling with the official assignees, that the more rigor. us the inquiry to be instituted into our accounts (although, at the same time, I am at a loss to imagine any more stringeut than that pursued by the Commissioner under whom I have the honour of acting) the greater satisfaction it will afford to us all.—l am, Sir, your most obedient' servant, WM. TURQUAND, Official Assignee." •. Nothing satisfactory can yet be stated as to the steamer President. The agents consider that she must have suf fered some damage in her machinery, and, in consequence, hare put hack to I3ermuda. Iler supply of coals was deemed adequate br a voyage of twenty-eight days' de , - ration, so that there could have been no Leceisity for put ting int:) Fay al for a furt!ter quantity. The vessel ha , , perhaps, after all, been totally Oismasted. Insurances are said to have ten done upon her to-day at a still higher premium, namely, at f :rty guine is per cent. WOOLWICH, APRIL 8. By private letters received here last night from Malta, it appears Lieut.-Colonel Chesney's company, 4th battalion. with Lieut. Biand, embarked in the Numa transport ship, having been relieved by Capt. James's company, 4th bat which sailed from the Royal Arsenal here on the 15th of December last. Lieut.-Colonel Chesney's com pany has been about thirteen years abroad, having em barked for Malta on the sth of February, 1828. Lieut. Buchanan has the command of the company, and Dr. Veching, of the Ordnance department, is the medical officer. A number of invalids have also embarked in the Numa for Chatham, under the charge of Lieut. Brabazon, tf the 77th Regiment. There are some of the 47th and 59 t h R e giments left at Malta, with above fifty women and one hundred children who were left behind the regiments that have gone to India. They are waiting for a passage in the Sovereign transport ship, and have rations, and are allowed b.irrarAs with bedding, furniture, &c., at Rica sole. They are under the charge of Lieut. Peebles, of the 59'..h Regiment, who returns to England t ) be depot paymaster. rho depot of the 59th Regiment is et present stationed at Ternplemore, in Irtland. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. —.The Kite steam-vessel, Lieu tenant-Commander G. Snell, recently employed on the West India and NA - th American stations, has been con demned as unfit to convey the mails, and has been sent into Antigua to refi, arid then soil for England, where she may be expected by the end of the month. ----- ---- EMIGRATION TO AAlERlCA.—Thursday after noon the New York packet ship Quebec, one of tho regular liners, left the :q. Katharine's Dock with 230 steerage passengers on board, the largest number of emi grants which has )et left the port of London in any single vessel during the present year. The passengers consist principally of little farmers and agriculturists, with their wives and families, from the counties near the metropolis. A great number are from Sussex, many from Kent, and a few from Surrey and Essex. This fine ship also takes out 30 cabin passenger s, a mu ch greater number titin usual. It appears that the uncertainty respecting the fate of the President has inducA many respectable merchants, from passengers Lon d London per sons of wealth, and others, to prefer the " liner . ,s " and during the last month the New York ships and Liverpool have taken out as man n y m c i a g b a itrionacross the before the introduction of steam Atlantic.
