It comprehends also a large portion of India, from the Mouths of the Ganges—the Islands in the Bay of Bengal— B irmall —Assam Thibet Nepaul Cochin China—Canton, and the immense Islands and Bays along the coast of China to PEKIN, • situated One Hundred and Twenty Miles inland from the confines of the Yellow Sea. The next News from China is expected to be ex ceedingly interesting and decisive. The Island of CH USAN, the first point of attack by the Expedition, commands the great Bay of Nankin, from which the Imperial Canal communicates with Pekin, the Capital of the Empire. Chusan is about half way between Canton and Pekin.

By the arrival of the overland mail from India we have received a mass of highly important news from the Indus, Bombay, Singapore, Macao, Can ton, Alexandria, the coast of Syria, and Malta, of which ample details are given in another part of The Sun. The dates are from China to the 3d ' of July, Singapore to the 15th of August, Bom bay to the Ist of Oct , and Alexandria to the 20th September. The news from China is very interest ing. On the 21st of Jane, the first division of the British fleet, including eighteen transports with troops, under the command of Sir JAMES GORDON BREMER, arrived at Macao; and on the 22d, a proclamation was issued that on the 28th the port and river of Canton would be strictly blockaded. On the 25th, the whole of the first division of the fleet, excepting the ships Druid, Volage, Hy acinth, and Larne, and the steamer Madagascar, appointed to enforce the blockade of Canton river and port, bore away northward, for the purpose, as was understood, of taking possession of the fine Is land of Chusan, which will place Pekin itself at the mercy of the British fleet. On the 28th the remainder of the squadron under Admiral ELLIOT arrived at Macao, and immediately bore northward after the first division, which had sailed three days previously. The Island of Chusan is described as bearing the same relation to the province of Che- Ke-Ang that the Isle of Wight does to Hampshire. It is larger than Singapore, and situated in a de lightful climate, thirty degrees north. Its chief town, Ling-Hae is a place of considerable trade, and from the numerous canals by which it is inter sected is said to resemble Venice. Of the whole island the following description is given in the Canton Register:— " From its central position, and its vicinity to the richest provinces and greatest emporiums of trade, from its being near the pievinces which produce the great quantity of tea and silver, the latter both raw and manufactured, and from its being provided with fine harbours, it seems to be particularly adapted to be :made the (great emporium of foreign trade, and, in fact, if possession of it can be ob tained from the Chinese, we have no doubt that i► will soon become more important than even Canton has ever been, although it cannot be denied that the navigation to it is considerably longer,: and; that during greater part of the year the Formosa channel is a stormy and dangerous navigation. In the favourable monsoon, that is, in the summer months, a sloop sailing from Macao may rcach Chusan in four or five days; during the northerly monsoon the navigation will, of course, be much protracted," The seizure of Chusan,—and we do not doubt that the Government has advised its occu pation,—will either bring the Emperor upon his knees, or be followed by the capture of his capi. tal. In the meantime, the Chinese have made a third ineffectual attempt to burn the British fleet. Parcels of tea were likewise poisoned for the purpose of being sold to the unsuspecting sailors but being seized by pirates they were re-disposed o, to the Chinese themselves, several of whom died it consequence of drinking the poisoned beverage And thus,— " Even•banded justice Commends the ingredients of the poison'd chalico To their own lips." The Canton papers state that Commissioner LIN is indisposed. Large rewards were offered by him to any persons who would seize and destroy any of the British blockading squadron. The Bri tish squadron, on the contrary, had issued proclama tions which were dispersed along the coast, stating that England had no quarrel with the inhabitants individually, and that no injury was intended to be done to private property. Of these paper mani festos we find the following account in a private letter from Bombay of the 30th of September, ba the informatio n contained in Canton Papers sed f the 30th of June, i n t h e hands of the writer : on o A public notification has been issued at Canton by Captain Elliot , Chief Su p erintendent, d eclarin g t e h e e. jcct of the expedit ion to be the undeceivin g of th peror (Rho has been misled b y the false re ports of a and Sang), and the establishment of lasting peace and honourable trade. It further states that the Queen o f England, " venerating the Emperor, and tenderly cherish ing the good and peaceful inhabitants of the land," ha s commanded the pawn; and property of the latter to be respected while offering no opposition to her Majes ty's arms. It invites them to bring supplies fearlessly to the several stations of the British forces, promising kind protection and just payment. h declares that no native vessel will be allowed to pass in or out of the port of Can ton till the British trade shall proceed without obstruction at points to be indicated by the Commander-in• Chief, and until further notice. Fishing craft, however, are permitted to pass in and out of the port in the daylight, and native trading vessels of the outside cities and villages are allowed to pass to and fro, and to resort for purposes of mutual ex change to the station of the British shipping. An edict has also been promulgated at Canton, by the Chinese, en titled " Rate of Rewards for destroying the English," in which the sums to be received for capturing men- of- war and merchant vessels, for destroying and sinking the same, for taking alive " foreign mandarins or officers," for killing them, for seizing alive Englishmen or Parsecs, whether soldiers or merchants, and for taking "those rascals" (outlaw Chinese, who assist to supply the " barbarians,") arc set forth with the most murderous perspicuity. Thus, though up to the 3d of July, the date of the latest accounts from China, but little was done in the way of active hostilities, events indicated that the next arrival would bring most important news from the Celestial Empire. The news from the Indus is, we regret to state, by no means so satisfactory. The capture of Khelat, the capital of Beloochistan, and the defeat of Major CLIBBORNE, by the Murrees and Bcloo chees in the defile of Poolajee, when four officers and 250 sepoys, of the British detachment, were killed, will be read with painful interest. The British authorities at Bombay had ordered a force of 10,000 men to march upon Khelat, and re venge the insult offered to British arms. All the accounts from Alexandria agree in stating that MEHEMET ALI was resolved to brave the worst rather than accept conditions from the Four Powers, and that his fleet is now under daily orders to proceed to sea. If this news prove cor rect the PACHA is lost beyond redemption. No thing can save him, as France has wisely resolved not to go to war about Syria. The sceptre of his power in Syria is now broken, and if he will go to war with the Four Powers rather than accept Egypt only, his destruction is inevitable, as under such circumstances France must abandon him to his fate. Still as we are most anxious that MEHEMET ALI should continue in the administration of the Government of Egypt, we trust that some efforts will be made to save him from the consequences of his mad obstinacy. Were it only for the modera tion he has shown since the first announcement of the intended blockade of Alexandria, we should re gret the occurrence of any event which would com pel the Four Powers to enforce the sentence of absolute deposition pronounced against the VICE ROY by his Hol►ness the SHEIK-AL-ISLAM. Besides the ordinary French morning journals of Monday, we have received by special express the Menifeur Parisien, the Messagcr, and Gazelle (lc France of Monday night. The Ministerial evening organ has the annexed tele graphic despatch : " Marseilles, Nov. 6.—Malta, Nor. 2. " The Great Liverpool arrived this night from Alex. andria, which it left on the 28th, with the India mail and passengers. " St. Jean d'Acre had not been attacked. The Phaeton, which left the squ'adron of Rear-Admiral Hugon sailing in the direction of Spezzia, quitted Malta at noon, on the Ist, to go to Toulon." The above despatch, adds the Moniteur, only arrived this day (Monday), on account of the state of the atmosphere. The Marseilles mail of the 4th instant reached Paris only on Monday evening. At Marseilles the greatest storm within the memory of man took place on the 3d. It was a perfect deluge, and all the streets became so many rivers. All the lower part of the Hotel ci'Orient, occupied by Queen Christina, was inundated, and seve ral serious accidents had taken place. Three Paris mails were in arrear, as well as the mails from Lyons and Avignon. The news from Alexandria is of great importance. The Pacha had determined to send out his fleet to sea. Constantinople letters of the 18th state t'nat M. Walewsky has no mission but to preach moderation to the Paella. Russia is said to be intriguing to procure the fall of Reschid Paella, the Minister for Foreign Aff , „.irs. Lord Ponsonby urges the Porte, it is asserted, to grant a special constitution to rule Syria. Besides the French journals we have received Madrid Papers of the 3d inst., with important news from Spain, which will be found in another part of The Sun. PARIS, Nov. B.—The following extract of a letter from Bavaria, is given by the German Frankfort Journal:— " The sudden order for part of the men absent from their regiments to rejoin them, has caused a great sensa tion. Every regiment will soon consist of 2,400 men, be sides the - reserve. In less than three weeks we may have an array of 60 ; 000 men on foot. The police lihve re ceived orders to inquire into the number of horses that may be hnd." The Augsburg Evening Journal announces that the Cabinet of Vienna has obtained from the French Govern ment the formal promise that the detention of Charles V. at Bourges shall soon cease, and that he shall soon be at liberty to quit the French territory, and to go to Ger many. It is believed that Charles V. will fix his residence at Salsbourg, where preparations were already begun to receive him and his family.—La Gazette de France. It is affirmed that the orders given to purchase, through the merchants, the horses for the service of the army, have been revoked. We bear that nearly half of the barracks intended for the encampment of the troops, near Paris, are finished, and that the whole will be completed by the end of the month. All round these little camps there have sprung up, as if by enchantment, coffee-houses, taverns, eating-houses, &c. They are almost little towns. The works in the fortifications have not been suspended, as has been reported. Notwithstanding the bad weather, they are proceeding at Neuilly, Clichy, La Villette, and Belleville.—Le Constitutionnel. The National was seized yesterday at the post-office and at its own offices. The National announces that this seizure was made by notice of an ordinance signed " Ba roche," at the instance of the King's Attorney-General, denouncing an article headed " The Army under the Mi nisty of tho Ist of March." The National announces that M. Marie, Batonnier of the Order of Advocates, has con sented to defend the National before the Jury. —Lc Corn. coerce. Sincerely hoping and believing that peace be tween France and England will not be disturbed, it seems even now not too early to express some reflec tions which are forced on us by the yet living a p prehension of war. At the end of twenty-five years of mutual peace, the two nations have been on the eve of bloodshed, for an object which is of as little importance to either as a single ropeyarn or a single charge of powder. If the mass of the English have been comparatively calm, and have neither wished for nor dreaded the threatened con test, a large portion of the French, perhaps the hulk, have looked on England with the most angry eyes, and have been eager to rush into war. Even yet England continues her armaments, her allies are said to be also arming, and the problem " how France and Frenchmen may be kept in awe" seems to have made little or no progress towards solution since the time of HENRY VI. If we admit that peace is for the welfare of society, this is equally discreditable to the statesmen of both nations, supposing them to have any higher object in view than merely levying taxes, to the religion we profess, and to the civilisation which is the boast of the nineteenth century. the rest o f E urope has F c o o r n u ti p n w ua a i r l c y ls looked k efiftyd towards }'ears, France w i t h appre . hension ; and the present commotion in that hive of restless and little occupied men, has evidently revived much of the dread that has prevailed occa sionally for fifty years. There must be some rea son for this. Situated in the middle of Europe, compact and united, her 36,000,000 of people speaking one language, and obeying one head, neither very manufacturing nor very commercial with comparatively little desire to heap up wealth_ with no object of national ambition but extensive empire and warlike glory—having very few colo nies and a small mercantile marine, and compara tively little or no means of providing for her ever increasing population, beyond the resources of her own soil—their numbers, their union, and their want of a means of swarming off, have made her, and are likely to make her, a terror to Europe. The manner in which land is divided in France, , amongst more than 3,000,000 small proprietors, tending to check agricultural improvement, by t the restricted means of each cultivator, and tending therefore to fail in providing sUbbifli• THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNES DAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1840. ence for the increasing mass, while the want of all local government leaves them no peace ful objects of ambition, seems a just ground for con tinual and increasing apprehension. The present stir is but the re-awakening of that mighty mass ; when they are again fairly roused, they must find a vent for their activity. But what vent, as matters are now arranged, but to overflow on the surround ing States, carrying with them war and desolation ? Let it not be supposed that the pressure of popu lation against the means of subsistence will be less in the extended territory of France than it is in the contracted limits of England. Hunger and famine assail the ignorant savage wanderers over the count less acres of the vast continent of America. France before the Revolution was continually the prey of are now by no means extinct.poverty and lt diisstress, which not, therefore, the extent of terri tory, but skill and knowledge in bringing out its resources, continually extending and improving, which keep subsistence in advance of population ; and France, not richly endowed with commerce and manufactures, has her land a t present so ap propriated But l thatpiriatetason mlysode slowly to imp rove i n agr i cu l tura l skof appropriati ng h er l an d has given of late a powerful stimulus to her popu• l t a o Etimul,rope which hereafter will n than her, though, merely rous ing now, we fear, more terrible ing herself, she has spread ab roa d genera l a l arm . ake If statesmen are to provid e for the welfare of so ciety, here is a problem which they ought to solve, Is the peace of Europe to be always preserved by setting up one armed host to threaten another ? Past experience proves that this is ineffectual, and that armed precautions to preserve peace, never wholly keep it, and very often lead to war. Can no means be found to provide a peaceable subsistence for the ever-increasing mass of people in France, or must they at some future period, like the armies of NAPOLEON, or the hordes led by ATTILA, be suf fered to break forth on surrounding lands, till their bones are left to bleach at a distance from their home on some mighty battle field ? Statesmen undertake to heal the disorders to which society is liable ; here is a fearful disorder growing out of the condition of France, which those who busy themselves about boundaries, and Pachalics, and the balance of power, cannot neglect without acknowledging their own insuffi ciency. We do not ask them to interfere with other nations ; but they do interfere, though it may be doubted whether any of their ordinary stratagems will, or can, preserve peace, unless something be done to allow of the tranquil de velopment of the energies of the French. It is palpable that the vast material interests of England, scattered over the world, have in part begotten the peaceable disposition of her people. If we had no trade, we should care less for war. The capitalist, who is sending a venture to the Southern Ocean, the emigrant who has gathered his all of wealth here, and is seeking a new home on the other side of the globe, with those he leaves behind him, the merchant, the manufacturer, the ship -owner,and all who depend on them, whose pros perity is bound up with that of some distant land, whe ther a colony or not--all the many hundreds and thousands of our population who live by commercial industry, have a strong interest in avoiding war, and they have contributed to give a peaceful character to the whole community. The condition of our own people indicates very clearly the policy which other States ought to pursue towards France. They ought to promote her prosperity, extend her commerce, encourage her manufactures, and help to give industrious occupations to her people. It' such a development of her resources would tend to make her the peaceful and certain friend, instead of the terror, of surrounding nations, it is surely far more Christian, more philosophical, and better worth aiming at, than to beat down her warlike energies by nursing the warlike energies of other nations, making them the terror of one another. With a want of foresight, England retained at the peace some of the colonies of France which would have contributed to make her peaceful by making her commercial and colonial. With an equal want of discretion now, some of our people are anxious to throw of France to c o l on i ze a part of New ta Zealan d and extend her coloniza tion in Africa. Both ought to be encouraged. I t was WELLINGTON not to impede politic Fan Algiers ; and a fu r th er extension of her colonial system, pro c u r i ng a peace ful outlet for the energies of her peopl e , wou ld en sure present and future peace. Our statesmen are afraid of her power ; but has England b ecome more extended anno annoying to her neighbours i n E urope as she has her colonies and increased her commerce ? Quite the reverse ; and why should we not ex pect for France, from the same cause, what has happened to England ? Our old national jealousy, gloating in indulgence, begets the very mischief which it dreads. We are like the nobleman whose title and estates were to pass into a family he hated, unless he had a male heir, and whose fears, mastering his hopes, made him the parent of nothing but daughters. France is made powerful and terrific by compression ; to weaken her, she must be invited to send abroad her chil dren into colonies arid into the surrounding nations, to increase their fortunes by peaceful industry. With the known opinions of The Sun, as to free trade, we need scarcely add that to open the English and other markets freely to the products of France, and so exten d h er commerc i a l relat i ons, wou ld tend to t h e same goo d en d, an d wou ld spare a ll Europ e of its own subjects, much uneasiness, and much expense for soldiers. Th e G overnment o f F rance li ves i n d rea d and has had, both under the elder and the junior BOURBONS, a most uneasy ex istence. As far as we can see there is no prospect for it of a more easy futurity, unless something be done to give healthy employment to its subjects its safety an d the well- b e i ng of its people would be Promoted by that extension of their commercial and colonial relations, which would ensure the peace of Europe. The French Government might be expected, therefore, zealously to co-operate, by concessions to other nations, in bringing about results so desirable for all. We do not suppose that our hasty, but not altogether impromptu sketch, of what ought now to occupy the thoughts of philosophical poli ticians, will be satisfactory to others ; but this we can safely say, now that the symptoms have plainly indicated a deep-seated disease in Eu ropean society, the METTERNICIIS and the GUIZOTS, the PA LMERSTONS and the PEELS, the Louts PIIILIPPES and FREDERICK Wi L . LIAMS will not deserve the name of statesmen if they do not attempt some other mode of cure than cordons of steel. A fact of much importance to the provriOots oC Bank of England Stock is made manifest by the late inquiries by the Committee of the House of Commons into Banks of Issue. We borrow the statement of the fact from the Morning Chronicle) in which journal it is illustrated and confirmed by many figures, which we have not at present room to quote:— The discount operations of the Bank, it will be found, completely neutralised the general good ma nagement of the securities, and, by constraining the Bank to reissue for discounts the notes which had been called in by the sale of other securities, or by the pay ment of bullion, they produced the vicious condition of the circulation, and were the true cause of the inconve ence and danger which ensued. It is perfectly clear that the unsatisfactory condition the circulation, auto all the evils which have ensued from it, have been caused by the unmanageable nature 1 of the discount business of the Bank. The demand for discount will always increase during that pressure upon the money market which necessarily accompanies a drain upon the bullion ; and if the discount business be administered by the party who has also the power over the paper issues, the result will inevitably be that the demands for discount will be satisfied, not merely by a transference of funds from other securities in which they had previously been invested, but by a re-issue of the notes received in exchange for bullion. An examination of the accounts establishes beyond the possibility of question this important fact—namely, that the inability of the Bank to effect a proper re duction of its circulation during a heavy drain of bul lisn, arises from the irresistible demands which are made upon it through its general banking obligations, and especially those of its discount business. • The Bank of England it appears, therefore, cannot successfully fulfil the functions of a bank of discount, and the functions of a regulator of the currency. The last is conferred on it by law. It is the consequence of the restrictions imposed by its Charter on other people, and of the legal tenthr privilege. The hinter is the proper em ployment of its capital, and that from which its chief profits are derived. Either the Bank must give up discounting, or it must get rid of the duty of regulating the currency. Which is the more profitable, the Bank Proprietors and Directors must decide ; but to us it scams that the regulation of the currency, as now established by law, is ,an onerous duty, while the discount of ac ceptances is, for a great monied corporation, a most profitable employment for its capital. If this be correct, the stupid avarice of the Bank Direc tors, like vaulting ambition, has overleaped its steed, and fallen sprawling in the mud, for the new Joint- Stock Banks to laugh at. CHANCERY COURT-(THIS DAY. The LORD CHANCELLOR took original causes to-day, of which there were twelve in his Lordship's list, but in con sequence of the principal Queen's Counsel being at Cam. bridge, the Court was enabled to make but little progress. In several of the cases the parties took such decrees as they could abide by upon the production of an affidavit of ser. vice, and the other cases were struck out of the paper. His Lordship rose before half-past eleven o'clock. The Vice-Chancellor did not sit to-day, in consequence of having to go to Cambridge to attend the election of High Steward. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) HALES V. DARRELL. The Court was occupied until nearly one o'clock in hearing the remainder of the arguments upon the petitions in this case, which was part heard yesterday. The MASTER of the ROLLS saki he would deliver his judgment on Monday. QUEEN'S BENCH-(THIS DAY.) (In Banco ) THE QUEEN V. STEPHEN JONES. This was an appeal from an order of two Justices at Quarter Sessions at Merionethshire, in Wales, for stopping up a certain highway in the parish of Llandovery. Seve ral objections had been taken to the order-Ist, that there was no order for the sale of the highway; 2d, that there was no description of its breadth; 3d, that the order did riot state that the Justices had found the road unnecessary, the order merely stating that it was founded on their owl view ; and 4th, that the reservation of the rights of certain parties was improperly expressed. Mr. Sergeant Ana ms was heard at some length against the objections; but the Court was of opinion that the 3d objection must prevail, the order not following the words of the statute 55th Geo. 111. The order was therefore directed to be quashed. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Justice PATTESON ) The Couri did not ait this morning above a quarter of an hour, and after disposing of a few motions of no public interest, rose, as there was no business before it. There were very few barristers in Court, in consequence, it was supposed, of the election of High Steward fur the Univer sity of Cambridge commencing this day. COMM.ON PLEAS-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) GWYNNE V. DAVY AND ANOTHER. This was an action for a breach of covenant, to which the defendant had demurred, on the ground that the cove nant was merely explanatory of another agreement under seal, which had not yet been rescinded, and that the plain tiff had no right to bring the action. The Court, having heard the argument, gave judgmer.t in favour of the demurrer. DAVIS V. TIIR ISLACKWALL RAILWAY. In this case, which was also one of demurrer, Mr. BUTT appeared for the plaintiff. Mr. Sergeant Bomrns, who was to have appeared in support of the demurrer, not being in attendance, tl e Court directed judgment to be entered against the demur rer, in favour of the plaintiff. COI HURMER V. SAUNDERS. In this case, which was an action on a bill of exchange, no one appearing in support of the demurrer, it was die allowed, and judgment entered for the plaintiff. SAIITII V. TANNER. This was an action against the vender of a reversional.) interest. The demurrer was on the ground that new matter bad been introduced into the replies tio 1. Thd Court ruled that the matter was not new, and over ruled the demurrer. (Sittings at Ni3i Prius before Mr. Justice ERSKINE and a Corral - en Jury.) PLATT V. MARI YATT, SENIOR AND JUNIOR. This was an action for assault, uncle: the following cir cumstances ; —The plaintiff and another young man were crossing a field belonging to the plaintiff, at Bayswa'er, when the younger defendant (the son) called to them to quit the field. They did so, and as plain. tiff was coming out, the younger Marryatt threw a heavy stick at him, and afterwards struck him in the forehead with the stick until he fell. The elder de fendant (the father) at that time came up, and als) struck the plaintiff as he lay on the ground, in R tender part of the person. They then left him. The plaintiff, in get ting away, had dropped his hat in the ditch, and when he recovered himself, and went towards the ditch for the hat, the elder defendant ran back to him, and pushed him into the ditch, The Jury found for tt.c plaintiff.—Damages, 201.

The following extract fro mr, printed paper by that gentleman, published bY ; o f Wcale, High Holborn, on the " Effe ctive P"fe lan r the Cornish Steam-engine," will give a further CS!" Lion of this subject : it fis t he " The principle of expansion is not new ;I$ te extent to which it has been carried, especially bee r years, by the successful adoption of steam tit. aa• temperature than is used in the common cond Costal' gine, which is new. ei3..3 for " The late Mr. Watt took out a patent in .l e i s hoat working steam expansively , and in his speelleo44 dated March 12, 1788, lie says,' My new imPr n to jot! in steam or fire engines consists in admitting at tain p art the cylinder of the engine onl y durin g some eertal and or portion of the descent or a scent of the Pigt°lh 00130 using the elastic forces wher ewith the said steam ei i i , P e t o.. itself in proceeding to occ u py lar g er spaces as t he pars ing powers on the piston , throu g h'the other p'ts tions of the length of the stroke of the piston• sure i ! "He then shows, that if steam of 141 0 . Pr ee- rt b of • admitted into a cylinder, and cut off at one-lan prof' . the length of the stroke, at half the stroke I" cite sure was reduced to 71b. ;at three-fourths of the s to 4 2-alb. ; and at the end of the stroke the org:01 would be reduce d to 311 b., or one-fourth of i t , i es wer He then shows that the s um of all these inal pow po • po ser is greater than 57-hundredth parts of the orig4lY, mu ltiplied by the leng th of the stroke, and consequethan that one-fourth the steam thus used produces more. 0 half the effect that four times the quantity w ould 03 „rnjuced if worked dense through the whole stroecs. 4 .. H e then says, ' consequently, the said new Or_ f pension end: is capable ot' easily ion every w ater, whose vs,ii!hts are equal to Mb. on every ,groc i inch of the area m e its piston. by they xpenditur i only o ne-tourth the corn: !tits of the cynder of siest a at each stroke.'
