C H RONICL E.—The intelligence of the settlement of the dispute with Chin a , announced in the Chronicle this morning, has been received with great satisfaction, and all classes are impress: d witti the importance and ie relculable benefits which may ensue to our trade and com merce from the opening up of so immense a market for the produce of British industry. Throughout the day anxiety ma; itatense to learn of further arrivals with details, and Towards four o'clock it was generally expected that fresh information would he communicated in a second edition ; but at the close of business, and indeed up to five o'clock, not Hee further had transpir e d i n th e City. The imme diate effect r upon the English funds was merely a rise of 1 per cent., arid at the close the quotations were only k per cent. better than yesterday, Consols for the Account nlirg opened a' 90 to for the Account, and left off at 89,E to 90. The Tea Market has teen sensibly influenced, ile,ing immediately given way 3d. per lb. for Comp soy's Cougous. The disappeararce of a member of the Stock Exchange, to which we alluded yesterday, continues to excite atten tion, atel we hear that 4,000/. in Exchequer Bills, belong- J e er b to the Decayed Fund, w hi c h h e held as the treasurer of that charity, are. not to be found. A point of some iticet! - , 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 2,000/. on the 6th inst., on a Bank check, from another member of the house, for which he gave his own check, dated yesterday, the 7th inst., for a similar amount in exchange. It is no uncommon practice between members of the Stock Ex. change to accommodate each other in this way by an in. •er !flange of checks when a party, who has taken a large amount of money stock, finds himself short of Bank notes after transfer heurs, which prevents him supplying his de ficiency till the t:llOwing 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 had bought, and as he could not, o the hour at which he Tidied for the accommodatien, transfer stock as a secur ity, he would give his check for the amount pay able on the following day, obtaining what he wished for that day. namely, a crossed check, which would be received as money at the clearing. The gentleman to whom he typlied 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, la healer the Bank of England will pay them when presented. The dividends on Reduced and Long Annuities are to-riay in course of payment to the public. But, as regards banker:, a special rule is observed, to aysid crowdieg and inconvenience, by which they sign the B.tnk books two days before, and obtain their warrants at the same time on the cashier. On 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 attorrey, received the warrants in exchange, and before disappearance delivered part of them, to the party as a security from whom he received the 2,0001. 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 fri e from all doubt, as the seentiv could not have been completed bsfsre this day ; bat in the case of bankers, the books and warrants are signed, witnessed, and de livered two days before ; and it is miLitainea by some that the warrants grantsd 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 against the consequences of refusal, and that a distringas would also be applied for to have the question of liability settled in a court of law. HERALD.—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 9efor money and account, being a rise of a shade mote than per cent. Admitting that ail is really settled with China, accord ing to the accounts now received, the fact is considered only as the prelur'e to some other scar or wars, involving a continuation of the same ruinous expense, and the issue of which, as of the Dutcb, 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- losses on the trade of this country. 'Tee foreign market experienced the benefit of the good news more strongly than the home foode, so that it might reasonably be supposed the 6,000,000 dollars from China were coming in wee 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 City this evening by a very pleasant vain-glorious article in the Mi nisterial ever.ii g sage, the Globe, the writer of which very decisively intimates the very great disadvantages and heavy charges incident to carryieg on trade at Canton, all which are to be re novefl by removing the seat of trade to the newly ceded port of Hong Kong, which is very clearly in dicated to be advantageously situate some hundreds, if dot thousands, of miles northward of Canton, somewhere about the great tea and silk districts of Chekiang, or Kiang, or other hanging places, and therefore which nobody would sus ect to be actually planed, as Hong Kong re illy is, if geographers, Commodore Bremer and Captain Eliot, 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 ten. The evening sage of the Foreign-effico moreover complacently aestivates that the scat of British trade is to be established at Hong Kong, and descants accordingly in m ess fervid prose on the conquests achieved by Foreign 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 Hong Kong would hardly contain the little establishment of Cie Glebe newspaper, which certainly does not cover an ace o f ground, arid that in fact it could hardly warehouse, if covered with buildintz , v a thousand chests of tea, t 3 say noti;ing r f cotton bales, cotton and woollen goods, &e., intported. It is hard to be obliged to teach the up-grown dunce of the Globe a little geography, but it is respect. fully submitted that British trade i 3 to .be carried on as het etofore at Canton; that Hong Kong is merely a site at the mouth of the river on which to construct a fort, mount a few guns and establish a small garrison, under favour and cover of which British shipping' may anchor with and for safety, whilst waiting for the "chops" to be expedited for proceeding up the " inner sea," or river of Calton, to th it port, an affair of form I.ke that of waiting for a pilot off Deal or Dover, or, as tri old limes, ca'ling off Gravesend for a license for London. Hong Kong. there fore, it is clear, is not 1,000 miles from Canton, and B tish trade and traders will he 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. Tbis is, as the City folks say, coming the " very grand" with a vengeance. Hitherto the modast evening ladron has been content to borrow its India despatch from the first and second editions of the, morning papers; and in the present instance ck 1 cul ate 3 , as it thought securely, on a late second edi ion of its morning leaders for the usual supply, from the report universally current of the arrival of the overland despatch and the intended publica tion of it in second editions of the morning papers. Un happily the Globe was disappointed, and of course will have to account to-morrow fur the non-arrival of its own overland India despatch. Nobody ever before suspected th Globe of the enormous prodigality, of which its morn ing feeders are guilty it must be owned, of expending about 1501. en one India despateb. But not content with overland despatcher, the Globe claims credit mor over for rec. iving early news from China by way of St. Petersburg and Kachta. The unfortunate scribbler must conceive that people cannot put two and two 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 intelligence r eached Marseilles on the 4th, and w wl a i s er i e m i would mtediatly telegraphed to Paris on the same day, be reed% ed in some throe or tour hours, if decent weather. From Paris to Calais a few minutes suffice, and a fee hours more to Dover and London. So that on the sth instant, or on the moreing of the 6th at the outside, it would be communicated from the French k per, embassy here to the Foreign-office, I. om w h ence the ntu otiliaitteerd, wouldreport by r ra in its origin, and cr edulousl y believed as from St. Pe tersburg. Of course the Globe people cannot k now it, but it is altogether improba ble, without a mo st ex traordinar y v t e ho do Globe ie_ office, di s fi gure d p ur posely ce or humble attendant and almost impossible combination of circumstances, that the news of the termination of the differences could have been received by the way of Sr. Petersburg. For instance, the convention was concluded on the 29th of January, and might be in Canton on the 30th From Canton :o Pekin the distance is about 1,500 miles, and through Pekin the news only could tran spire for Russia. But it was net likely to transpire in a court so s il e ntious for many d a y s , a nd if it did, where were the couriers to carry it to Kiachta ? There is no post-office, mail-coaches, or railroads from ()akin to K;achta, moreover them Hie no diplomatic agents rasident at Pekin by whom such news would be f gwarded. 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, fr,ra whence Si St. Petersburg the course is more clear and speedy, ai being an affair of the Russian Government. It may hop pen, undoubtedly, that Russia would take all th., mears possible for early information in an affair w interesting to her as relating to the fa.e of Chitin, and therefore so far as on her depended news would b e acce l era ted. But from ICachta to St. Petersburg alone the journey by courier is understood to occupy about 28 days Having taken this pains gratuitously to vela the ignorance or education of the evening organ, and of its principsl of the Foreign_ office, no more remains to be said. POST.—The news rzceived to-day from India aid China, though favourable, had been s, far " discounted," to use a Stock Exchange phrase. as to have had no effect upon the value of the public securltipa, beyond the incon siderable extent of k to ti per cent. The only additional fact of any great importance that transpired to-day. in connection with the failure of Messrs. Wakefield, the Stock Brokers, has been with reseect to some securities held in trust by th:! senior i7artner as Trea surer of the fund of the decayed members of the Stock Exchange. It appears that ha 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 payticulars„ The claims gene rally upon the firm arc found to be to the amount of about 66,0001. It affsrds us pleasure to be be able to state, that there is probably no reason whatever to suppose the suspension of Messrs. Wakefield 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 porsoa for whom either one or the other of the firm had taken upon himself th's responsibility, 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 PUBLICATIONS.

Lord Castleton is a beautiful portrait of A politician and Prime: Minister, comme it y'en a pen. Among the sketches of a mixed character that of the Mar quis of Roclifort is one of the most Clished of all Mr. Ward's delinealions. The original of this capital portrait will at once be recognised. Bt.t the sketches that will attract most gener.l attention and curiosity are those of the aristoctatte ruffian, Lord Albany, the periodical critic, Sourkrout, the " liberal" editor of a weekly journal, Mr. Peter Paragraph, the popular lecturer end incendiary, Dr. Firebrass, &e.

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 g , .vc to the world renewed guarantees for the preserva , ion Of goneral peace. Accident, indeed, may brtray 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, maintaininff the honour, and contributing tu,the interests of the country. (From the Times.) The important news from China, which we publish tc-day, holds out some prospect of a speedy, if not an advantegeoue, settlement of our diffee ences with that vast empire. A vigorous demonstration," which ended it The capture of the fats at the entrance of the Canton Riser, seems to have satisfied the Imperial Pleeipoten tiary that it was necessary to negotiate in earnest ; and oa the 29. h of January the preliminaries of a treaty of penes: ere stated to have been art-angel In comiderieg the value of these preliminaries, it must be brume in mind that they were extorted from the Chinese at the cannon's mouth, and that, in all probes !elite, when the panic of the moment was over, there would be a very strong disposition to recede from them. Neither can it escape our readers that the express which communicates this intelligence ccntains also the ominou words, " Details still remain matter of negotiation." Every day's experience teaches us, that in affairs of this sort, what is matter of principle ei h one patty, is constantly treated or represented as matter of de tail by the other ; and the Chinese diplomatists will 'doubt -1 ss strsin eery nerve to evede cr counteract the off ct of their own concessions, by making stipulations iaconsis:ent +ale b them in the further stages of the negotiation ; or, at all events, do their best to protract this° further stages to an indeficite perierl. And, after al, the power of ratify ing or rejec big the articles agreed upon at Canton will uiornitsly rest. not with the Commissioner on t; e spot, but with the Emperor at Pekin. The communication b% post between Canton and the capital occupies not less than 20 days, and it is impossihle to foresee how frequently real or supposed occasions for reference to herd quarters may arise during the progress of the decussions. We entertain no doubt that all these circumstances were present to the minds of the shrewd statesmen who manage the Celestial Councils, when they deterrnieed upon decoying poor Admiral Elliot from the imme diate neighbourhood of the Court to the southern ex trernity of the empire. And it is far from iinpro bible that the consciousness of being able to fall back upon these diplomatic resources may have induced Ke-shen to !. make more liberal promises than he ever meant to fulfil. For these reasens, arid remembering the tmemsture exul tation withwhioh former delusive reports of the settlement of tins ernbarrsssing quarrel were received by the satellites of Downing-street, we think it impossible to place any reli ance upon the finali'y of the arraneement which seems to I aye been made between Captain Elliot and Ke-shen. But upon the hypothesis that such en arrangement has been made, and that it may become the basis of a Treaty between Great Britain end China—an assumption which we shall consider extremely precarious till the ratifications of the Treaty have been actually exchanged—it may be expedient to consider whit the terms of these preliminary articles really amount to. It aswitl be observed, that they are absolutely silent upon the question of the opium trade, the real cause of tl e war. " The trade of the port of Canton " is to he re-opened within ten days after the Chinese new year ; but whether the Government of China sell thenceforward 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 question is cern plmely passed over in the preliminary articles, and we suppose is included in those " details" which are to " re main matter of negeti itien." It may be stalely predicted, that unless some definite understanding is come to on this head, there can be no security for even a short conti nuance of unintmupted commerce or pacific relations be tween the two countries. That Great Britain should in. sist uron the Isgalization of opium in China, or that China should concede such a point, except under the pressure cf overwhelming necessity, cannot be expected. Oa the contrary, the Chinese Government may, and probably will, iirsi-t upon a guarantee from Great Britain against the future prosecution of that traffic either at Hong Kong cr elsewhire within the Chinese seas by British sutijects. Such a demand would be very embarrass ing to our plenipotentiary; for the cession of Ilong Kong, and the proposed removal of the foreign trade from Whampoa to that island, will make it impossible for him to declir e giving the required guarantee on the plea of want of power; while, by acceding to the stipulation, he would damage the Indian revenue to the amount of a mil lion sterlieg per annum ; and, on the other hand, by re fusing it, would give Kesshen a fair opportunity of break ing off the negotiation, and getting rid of his original con messi rno. The next point to be noticed is the amount of indemnity to Great Britain which Ke-shen has agreed to pay, and Captain Elliot to accept, The 3,000,0001. which were telked of so confidently upon the return of Admiral Elliot from the gulf of Pechelce, have now shrunk into 6 000,000 dollars, being considerably less than one hey of the former sum ; and for the payment of even this sum the Chinese arc to have a six years' credit. Of the vaunted 3,000,0001, one million, it was said, was destined to defray the expenses of the expedition, which certainly will not fall short of that amount ; so that the ut fortunate Parsecs and other mcic'rantp, who have been so long tantalized with the hop. of seeing a full cumpeesation for the it confiscated opium extracted from the Chinese treasury, will have to be contented with less than one-fifth of the principal which they embarked is that luckless adventure. What will our friends in the City say to this? We suspect they will nut 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 vi Ilia (even supposing them to he ratified by the Emperor) may be much affected by these " details" which arc reserved for further negotiati in. In the first place (we follow the order of comparative importance rather than that in which tee preliminary articles arc arranged), there is to be " direct official intercetyse between the countries upon an eqeal footing." If this means that a British Anilausador is to reside at Pekin, as the recognised represeutative cif a Sovereign cf equal dignity with the celestial Empe ror, we think it is a great result, which may be pregnant with very consideraele consequences to China, England, and the civilized world—a result not unworthy to be pur ch ised by the expenditure of millions. But if (as we mote than suspect) it is only intended that a British Con snl at Canton shall have new facilities of communication eith provinciii 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 stinulation far making this the future mart of the foreign trade. This arrangement, if bona fide carried into effect, will cot tainly be most bens , • ficial to our mercantile interests. Tire sitar ton t f Hong- Kong is infinitely more convenient for the purposes of trade than that of Macao ; a settlement formed there will be capable of maintaining itself independently of the Chinese, and the reeegnition of a territorial right in the British Crown, as well as the terror of the British name, will give our countrymen advantages which e'er rerer pos sessed 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 com merce earns d on there (at Hong Kong) shall be paid as if the trade wets conducted at Wrimpoe." If Chinese cus toms are to be levies', and Chinese revenue officers arc to exercise a jurisdiction within the ceded territory, so extra ordinary a reservation cannot fail hereafter to give rise to disputes A 5, to the extent and character of the cession. On the other hand, it is not to be supposed that the Chinese will intrust the collectioa of their duties to the local Bri tish authreiees 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 charges arid duties to the empire," which are here referred to, be levied upon ell 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 involves in its mere enunciation—by ethers (who are quite indifferent about bad logic), on the ground that the terms ate 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 iii another column, un der the head 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 hhd been achieved as " the gain of a loss," 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 other.

The losses that have been sustained by the holders of Tea are very considerable. In other branches of trade there has not been much life dis played this week. The Colonial Markets have closed for the Easter holidays, West India, East India, and other principal articles of produce remain at very nearly the same prices as last week. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAT. (From the Morning Chronicle ) It is preci4ely 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 inteligence 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 in the world in which a Minister is more frequently tried than in Englaial, 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 press rt. From Sir James Graham, who opened the delete 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 rit 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 terminatA 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 take place, it should be remembered that it was a contest which would Lte carried on at the remotest part of the habitable globe, and where the monsoons would materially ieterfere with the communications which must be bad with this country. It was to he carried on at an immense distance from all cu . ' r naval stations. The squadrons which would be sent out would be exposed to various dangers. They would arrive at toeir destination after a lung voyage, pent up in crowded transports:, and wearied with the fatigues of an element which our land furcirs abhor ; they would come to the scene of action with abated strength and dimished ener gies.' Such were the patriotic and statesmanlike views of Sir James Graham; while so hopeless did the case appear to Sir Robert Peel, 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 lint ! Every object of our policy accomplished '• in a single campaign "—at an incredibly small expenditure either of lite or of means. The wrongs of our merchants have been redressed—the position of our trade immensely benefited—increesed facilities girea for carrying it on in future, and our diplomatic intercourse freed front those offetisise and humiliating forms, so long a source of se rious embarressmeet netween the countries. It is cer tainly not a very gratifying reflection, nor one very cre ditable to the principles of party warfare in this country, that objects of this magnitude and national character should be staked upon a trial of strength, and saved from deceat only by a majority of nine votes. If Tory ism were not as unteschab l e as it is unprincipled, the events of the last few years ought to teach it many a salutary lesson. At home, every step in improvement has been a step in opposit i o n to Toryism. Abroad, wherever generous principles of Government have tri umphed, it has been in spit e 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 Dun Miguel, even at the mo ment that both were in active hostility with British sub jects and British interests. The principle o f a b so l u t e govern ment is crushed in Portugal, and its representa tive no otherwise known titan as a debauched mendicant subsisting upon the charity of the Papal Court. In Stain, the English Tories mainly c on t r ib u t e d to k eep alive a sangutna , ry . c,vil war in suppo r t ef the same prin ciple, and in Spain, as in Portugal, with the same n sul'. So is the Belgian question, we find them for years supporting the obstinacy of the King of Holland, throw ing obstacles in the way of a settl e me n t, a nd then trg ieg the delay in settlement as an accusation against the r o pp )litnts. Precisely whe n d e lay had produced ell - the evil it could to the protrye of Tor y ism, he consented to a settlement. With th e Eastern question they did not interfere--because it was begun and finished before they hid time to interfere. But had '- the Treaty of July" ixen a " Tie aty ~f February," or of March, there is little d ,übt the mouth of April would not have passed with ,ut a motion upon the impolicy of entering into hostilit es 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 cf Govern ment, by ascribing events which have occurred to " }milt . ) , accid e nt." Accident is not so uniform in its attendance upon the " incapacity and imbecility of rulers." Accident does not fe e-ce, the occult designs cf others, and defeat them by proportioning the means to the end with such nice discrimination—accomplishing great objects c f national po licy, while pressing with the least possible weight upon na- ~z < EVENTING EDITION again en route for Pekin, Flesh insults bad, at the date of the last accounts received in England, prior to those which we published in the Herald of )estPrday, induced Sir Gordon Bremer (who had succe-ded t t'e com mand of the British squadrn) to threaten exemplary tc prisals if ample satisfaction were not given fur these new aggressions. At this point, our summary of Chinese intelligence is re sumed to-day. Now what is the amount of th:se commu nications? " The Chumpee and Tykokrow forts had been taken on the 7th January, and effectually destroyed on the bth and 9th, since when the preliminary Treaty had been signcd, and tl:e Chinese signified officially by the Plenipotentiary at Whampoa their assent to the following articles : " 1. 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 footing. " 4. Trade of Canton to be opened in ten days after the Chinese new year." La any observations we have now to offer, we must ar sume that these statements arc substantially true ; yet hew to believe it we confess we know not. Terms so palpably disadvantageous, compensation so inadequate, cessi ins so worthless, surely were never accepte3, even in the bung ling career of British diplomacy, by any former ageat whose incompetency has at any time prejudiced the ir,- teres3 of the British Crown. We may grant. indeed, that it the phraseology of treaties were capab'e of being ren dered as definitive in expression, and likely to ba as accurately observed in spirit in China as it would by in negotiations between, two European powers, a very con siderable principle would have been asserted and recog ni.ed 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 "barbarian " notions of official relations, we will venture to say, " Plenipoteotiary Elliott" really knows about Buddhism ; and as to our function aries being put upon a similar footing with the Chinese functionaries, why " perfect equality " must seem to them a monstrosity as grotesque and incomprehensible as any id l that Sir Gordon Bremer may have seen in any joss. house. All their habits cf civil life,—all the strongly marked and rigidly-enforced gradations of rank and ceremonial which pervade the whole machinery of their Government, and the constltution of domes tic society among them,—render the ntrion of perfect equality between their offi.isls and those cf a folei4nt coun try a preposterous delusion. Before we treat to Article 1, which cedes the island of Hong Kong t Great Britain, we must pause to complinont the Globe on its very extraordinary leader of yesterday evening, Leaded " Arrangement of the Dispute with China." It talks of "the paucity "of knowledge in other articles t h .11 had treate I, bef6re its own lucubrations, of the state tit our re la ions with Critic:, and with a gravity which is the nearest sproach to a joke we can remember in our oraeutar Con temporary, it reads a lofty lecture to all who have presunied to doubt, in the evolution of the sevet il v ants to which we have referred above, the presence of the most profound sagacity and far-seeing wisdom in a l l the measures adopted by Captain Eliot and by Admiral Elliot, and in alt the orders issued, and the policy acted upon et tone, in ref,r en -e to our affairs in the Celestial Empire. Now, let us s.e how this learned lecturer (who is scry angry that no body would listen to his predictions as to what calls this " gratifyirg rmiaation" of our disputes with China, and that the '' Times shoald have thundered its indignation, and tl e lesser organs of party squeaked their disappointment at the delay " which had intervened in the progress of the cape_ ditton)—let us see how he 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 i s name, with or against the Chinese Government, the negotiations were brought to a close ; an island appropriated as the future 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 property by the Chinese authorities." Is this writer really blind to the fact that the intelli gence upon which he is thus huggirg himself • naplies the most unanswerable argument to justify the " dissa tisfa.tion” at which lie is so wroth cf people rather more clear-witted than himself. Why, to talk as he does (evidently under the most profound and unsasi.ect ing ignorance of all the data, geographical an i hydro graphical, that s: - could have governed the judgment cf any e undertaking to pronounce thus broad;y an opinion on such a mater) is really to challenge to him self somewhat of that uncivil animadversion which he so readily bestows on o'h!re. We 'hill observe, by the way, that had our Contemporary attended seats schools, where the schoolmaster is less " abroad" than he op pear.; to be, habitually, at the Globe office, he liens , . If would have stood a fair chance of " :queaking: a " after falling into so stupendous a blunder as the islatel of Hong Kong tempts him into. An island destined to be " the future residence of the British, and the seat of our commerce with the Chinese empire hl 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 l It is about the most inconvenient and defenceless post into which the crafty " concessions" of the Chinese cool I have duped our unfortunate Superintendent. Appro.tehrrble on every side only through dangerous stra i ts, studded with islets, beret with rapid and uncertain currents, with :161'6 ng mud banks, and, consequent ly,evcr-varying soundings, with only one extremityof the greater, or Lemma channel ( which intervenes between it and the very much larger island of Lart-to-oo), practicable during the north motisoo:s ; and with its eastern, or Lema channel, subject to the violence of the typhoons (the most destructive gales that Pel cop those seas)— it is impossible to `.m -wine position in the defence c r for the relief of which our ships of war could act with less effect. They would he en tangled amidst clusters of those innumerable islets, which it would requite their whole undivided attention safely to work among. Tie large war junks of the Chinese could readily, wherever the river allowed our own shippiag to act, block up every avenue beyond the outer waters of tie Can ton River. Es en the two or three good anchorages of Hong Kong would be available only to the smaller class of steam craft ; and though it has many good runs of.water, and raises some good esculents, the defects of its geographies! position will never admit of these advantages being deve loped en 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 congratula tion in the indemr ity which Chloe undertakes to pay to Great Britain. Whet is it? Six millions of—Dollars! payable in—six years ! (No doubt with compound inte - rest, to be liquidated " ad Grceeas Aalendas.") Now, tie estimated value of the opium surrendered by Capt. Elliott Was, in round numbers £2,500,000 The expense of the armament, &c., by the latest estimate The total cost to Great Britain of tl.c op'urn dispute with China At the I).st price the Spanish dollar is now I tc ing in Cantor, six n i lions in specie vould t:ot represent more than Anl thus there would be a deficiency a; be tween the total cost and the indemnity 0f... 2,800,000 The difference between the value of the opium de stroyed, alone, and the promised indemnity, would he 1,300,000/. against the Brtish owntre. But if, without retrospect as ti interest for the past, and reckoning (Ally for tho simile interest of the money for the future (with out crediting it for each instalment), we add to this last sum six years' interest on 1.200,0001 (the aeiount of the ii d mnity) at 5 per ceet. (or 360,0001. ), the deficiency tetween the total of loss to the British merchaLts, and iha indemnity to be given, then will be 1,660,0001, \Ve have ell heard of " Flemish accounts I' Preserve us, say vc, 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 !a :cc, with " errors exc 'pted." The Globe cannot take le ive of its China intelligence without again recurring to flor , g Kong. For once we cannot close a leader withoct again adverting to the Globe. It discovers that " the e Substitution of Hong Kong for Canton, as the mart for commerce between the two countries, will also greatly increase the facilities of track, and reduce the expense at which it has been carried en. Of all the other ports of the empire, Canton was the worst adapted for the purposes of our trading inter course v, ith the Chinese, for the simple reason, that the sta l .le articles of export, tea and silk, are brought from the northern provinces at a heavy expense, while the equally heavy charges • of tonveying our woollens to the north form an , ; , nsuperable barrier to any gre a t i nc rease in their consumption. It is fit that we should apprise our Contemporary that the ust the contrar substitution of " Hong Kong " will have j y eff. et to that which he ant i c ipates. It " will DECRIZASE the facilities of trade, and tN CRfiASE the expcmse at which it has been carried on." And we beg to add, in hi; own words, ' , for this simple re ason, that I the staple articles of export " being , a s lie says, " brought from..,we the il be very m uch dearer tar bei n g un shi ) norlhern 1 p cci and carried nearly 80 or prosiness at a heavy expense to Cani , ou , 100 miles (by the w indings of toeth channel) and thr o ugh a n intricate navigation, further he SOUTii. (From tLe Morning Post.) Our Ministerial journalists arc, we observe, very indus triously reprinting the leading articles—the same, at least, in substance, sod very nearly the same, so fsr as we recol lect, in words —with ehich they favoured the public some four months ego, when they exulted a little prematurely ut eri , t e e glorious and triumphant settlement cf . the dispute cct our Contempora its are likely we think, time than they were ' before. It will turn out probably lb et something 'tvoitiphnroCovneheinlreacs.'sF unfortunate a settlement of the dispute 1 • las at last been accomplished. But we confess we do approaching:. to before us any reason net very glorious and triumphant petee . .ve in the intelligence The avowed objects of th conclude that the settlement is a one. compensation exnedition were to ob tainnsation for losses and e irjuiies inflicted upon our merchants, and satis f actory guarantees for the future secu. rity of our commerce \A ith China. As to the first of the; c o' jests, it is stated that the Emperor of China is to pay, as a compeneation to the British Government for the opium destroyed at Cantor, the sum of six million dollars, or anent 1 ,250,0001., in tie equal annual in stalments, so that t%e foil payment veil not have tern made before the year 1847. Is this an adequate cornpensaticn ? We fear not ; for it is emsiderably 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 mush joy in the \ minds, and diffused so much boasting over the pages ,of cur Ministerial C ontem p oraries. 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. ' o_3 the other hand. if the three millions sterling then to be paid down was no more than an adequate compensa ei ,n, % attire 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 money, ee d, what is more valuable than money, the lives o four gallant soldiers ? And as to security for the future inter courte of our merchants with China, it certainly seems to TO BE HAD AT ALL THE LIBRARIES. This day, in 3 vols. post Bvo., LPHINS T O N E. A NOVEL.
