This has been proved ny an experience of thirty years 'during which time upwards of 40 4 .000 cases of cure have been effected. The g y m = agen t s throughout the world are unanimous upon the Hygeian system of medicine introduced by James Morison, the Hygeist„ who not only taught the public how to cure their own all menti, but also rescued the world from the dangers of false medical docitines. The monument lately raised to his memory by ti penny dubseription sufficiently attests the importance of his discoveries. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CIT . GLASGOW. • - GENTLEMEN,—An opportunity having occurred to ±ou of exercising your Political Rights, I esteem it a very great pri • - 'nine thus to respond to the flattering Requisition witi4 which I have been honoured; and now offer myself as a candidate toi the Representation in Parliament of my native City; I flatter myself that the liberality of my public opinions is 'llet unknown ; and, although I have not hitherto assumed any prominent part in the bustle of Politics, I have taken a ' • deep interest in those great leading questions which have affected, and do now affect, the Constitutional and Sottial In. tarestsof the Empire. While still in the vigour of Of°, it 'would be to me most gratifying were I called upon, b* your I f suffrages, to devote such energies as I possess to the ervico • • Of a Community amid which! have spent my earlier dais, and k, ^ Prosecuted, successfully, an extensive business. The limited period which intervenes between this and the X l aY of Nomination entirely precludes the possibility of any. , • Personal canvass ; and I take leave, in this shape, to offer a brief explanation of my views en a few of those questions by 'Which the claims of Candidates are usually tested. And, first, as to Parliamentary Reform : I hold .itta be • Still Progressive,- and am favourable to' a'-further Exte ion_ of • . - 412 e Franchise. Economy in Public Expenditure appismaje $41 44 of Paramount Impor .jl tance ;' and I shall be prepared to. 1•• "• support my **Sena* propoled for Reduction of • Nvery prepoSed amendment of our Legal and Judicial Sys tam, especially as affecting Commercial relations, shallieeeive • .my favotu'ablelsemsideration. I shalt else- be prepared to veto on the all-engrossing theme of a General System of Education, having regard to the peculiar wants of Cities and Populous Places, on the one hand, and of Rural Districts on the other ; so that any plan which professes best to satisfy at once these respective neces titles will secure my most careful attention. I entertain the belief that those principles of Toleration, in matters of Religious Opinion, already so long acted upon in this Country, should not be interfered with ; and that faith ought to be kept with every Religious Denomination to which Government guarantees have been given. Impressed with the importance to my native country of her peculiar Institu tions and Individual Rights, I shall be at all times prepared to defend these against the encroachments of a system of Cen tralisation. As for the Local Interests of the great Community which I seek to represent, I can with full confidence assure the Electors that these interests, in all their varied ramifications, and by whatever Class, or Party, or Individuals, brought under my notice, shall always command my devoted attention and utmost personal exertions. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your most obedient humble servant, JAMES MERRY. 127, St. Vincent-street, Glasgow, Feb. 27, 1857. t THE -LONbON, HARWICH, and CONTI NENTAL STEAM PACKET COMPANY.

This Company Is established with a view to afford the pub ie increased facilities in the conveyance of mails, passengers, sPecie, and merchandise between England, via Harwi ch, and the ports,of Rotterdam, Hamburg, Antwerp, &e. A traffic arrangement for a term of years has been entered into with the Eastern Counties Railway Company on advan tageous terms, and the Directors have secured the co-opera- ' tion of the authorities of the Dutch-Rhenish Railway Com pany, and the other inland navigation and railway establish ments in Holland and Germany, all of whom are so convinced of the advantages to be derived from this line of communica tion, as the most desirable for passenger traffic, and the speedy conveyance of merchandise and perishable goods, that • they are anxious to promote the views of this Company to the fullest possible extent. The town of Harwich is 68 miles from London by railway, and its port is the most convenient for direct communication between London and all the great seaports in Holland and Belgium, and thence to the northern and central parts of the continent of Europe. Passengers proceeding to India via Trieste, by Harwich, Rotterdam, and the Dutch-Rhenish Railway, will effect a saving of 48 hours, as compared with the route via Marseilles; the line from Rotterdam to Trieste being on the eve of com pletion without a break. The harbour of Harwich is safe, commodious, and easy of access in all weathers and states of the tide—advantages which no other port possesses on the eastern coast south of the Humber. By the opening of this route via Harwich the dangers and delays of the intricate navigation of the Swin and the mouth of the River Thames are avoided, whereby a saving of time is effected to Hamburgh, Rotterdam, and Antwerp of from 10 to 11 hours ; whilst the route to Oberhausen and thence to the northern parts of Europe is four hours and a quarter legs by Harwich and Rotterdam than that by Dover and Ostend, as per tabular statement, and thus the former must become the direct route of postal communication.

INDIA. We have received out correspondence and files of newspapers from India and China. The dates are indicated. (From the Bombay Times, Feb. 2.) SUMMARY' . —Since last mail a new 5 per cent. loan has been opened, likely soon to be followed by another at a. still_ higher rate of interest. This is ascritied to the war with Per s'.a—a wild chimera .with which India has no concern, over which she has no control, and the charges of which shOuld have fallen on the Royal treasury. We gave in our last the particulars of the arrange ments for the increase of the strength and extension of the operations of the Per sian Gulf expedition up to the departure of. General Outran. and his staff: It may be remembered that the force origi nally despatched in the middle of -November con sistedof about 6,000 fighting men, including - 2;500 Europeans under Gen. Stalker, conveyed by. 40 transports, with 13 steamers and other vessels of war, under command of Admiral Sir H. *Leeke.. In our issue of Jan. 2 we gave details of the opera tions of the forge by land and sea up to Christmas, - including the capthre of Bushire and the adventure's which preceded it. The events in thenaselvei.are now asserted to have been of sinvlarly trivia im portance in comparison with the inflated accounts which were given of them, the marine portion of the despatches presenting,a series of inaccuraciesbelleved to be unprecedented in 'English official :documents - . We - are not as-yet in apOsition. - to give det Ails ,s 0 min.utely.andin puck •authentio , lorm as irektOat , desire ; bu*.aeiror to the -nearly n nlvers al "tes ti molly of eye-witnesses, the authority of the official papers should be for the present declined. Public opinion has been so strongly expressed here on the subject that the immediate appearance of the entire correspondence, official and delni-official, seems indis pensable. On the appointment of Gen. Outran), it iminediatelybecame known that an atm of five times the magnitude of that first despatched was intended for the invasion of the country, of which 20,000 were to be sent from India and 3,000 or 4,000 from England overland. Gen. Outram's staff left on the 17th in the Semiramis, touching at Kurrachee on the 19th, and leaving the next morning with the Nitocris, Indus flotilla flat, the river being now' nearly swept of its steamers for service in the Gulf. The gallant. general is understood to proceed to Bussorah, the chief source of our supplies, and will in all likelihood establish head-quarters with a base of operations in the neighbourhood. From Bushire an advance into the interior is obstructed by a rugged and difficult range of mountains running right across our path. From Bussorah a tolerably even line of march stretches from nearly the mouth of the Euphrates by Shurtra right into the centre of Persia. Since the departure of the general the 14th Light Dra goens and 78th Highlanders have left Boml , ay. A battalion 1000 strong, consisting of the light and left flank companies of ten of our native regiments, is preparing for embarkation, to be commanded by Lieutenant-Col. Le • Gran Jacob, oiie of the ablest officers in the presidency. The Scinde Horse are on their way—the southern Mah ratta Hocse, under Col. Malcohn, who so distin guished himself at Goozerat in 1849, when in com mand of a portion of the Scinde Horse, were on their way to the presidency fur despatch, when they were for the present countermanded. The 26th Na tive Infantry sailed on the 19th Jan., and a por tion of the 23d Native Infantry and the light bat talion are on the pcint of embarkation ; the whole of the infantry from Neemuch and Nusseerabad and Rajpootna, consisting of the 87th, 10th, 21st, are under orders for the presidency, their places to be supplied from Bengal; and these are nearly all Bombay can supply. It is just two years since the Governor-General declinedsendingreinforcements to the Crimea, on the ground that not a single European could be spared from India with safety. Of the eight European regiments Bombay possesses four have already been despatched, together with three corps of our finest irregular horse ; and we are thus denuded of the bodies of men on whom we chiefly depend for safety, and who for a twelvemonth to come will be as much beyond our reach as if in Europe. Our latest dates from the Gulf extend to the 17th ult., up to which our men were resting on their arm.. The soldiers, though complaining of considerable discomfort from the extremes of cold and heat, were on the whole in the enjoyment of good health. The 2d Europeans, who were suffering trom severe sickness on leaving Scinde, form an un happy exception, neatly half of their number being in hospital. Supplies were becoming more plentiful than at first, or than we had any reason to expect. Bussorah formed the principal source, abundance being sent into camp down the Euphrates from Turkish Arabia. The Persians themselves were more serviceable in this way than could have been conceived, and were bringing in forage, grain, beet, carrot, and other vegetables, of a quality that might do honour to the Bombay market. Ponies and baggage cattle of all kinds are at present being collected in the presidency, the want of carriage forming the great difficulty of a foray into the interior. It does not appear, from the ad vanced state of the season, by what means a move ment on any considerable scale can be made be fore the hot season sets in, and the heat of the sea board of Persia is something very fearful. We fail altogether to perceive—should Russia be the enemy wo are advancing against—how our posi tion is improved by our having our stores 400 miles in our rear, and a wild mountain range cut ting off the advancing force from its base of ope rations. With a battle-field of her own choosing, rest- ing on her supplies, our adversary may select any course of tactics she deems best. She may either re tire within her own frontier and wait till we are weakened by the climate, or become prepared to withdraw from sheer weariness, or throw on us masses so overwhelming in magnitude that no courage or discipline could resist them. A finer army for its size, or one more ably officered than that which General Outran(' commands, pro bably never took the field. But what is 20,000 or 30,000 men where one-half must be left behind to protect an advance or cover a reverse, and where, on the lowest computation for casualties, 8,000 could never reach the ultimate point of conflict, as suming that to be the north of Teheran ? We take no account of the resistance of the Persians — wretched cowards, who will never let us get within musket shot of them, and who, if au fall, must be brought down by a; well-laid gun. Mr. Murray, the head and front of our offending, has reached camp, and taken up his quarters at the Residency ; his occupation is gone. Tranquillity prevails throughout India, the country is prosperous, and the people contented and happy. In contrast to the Persian expedition is a field force still more numerous engaged in our neighbourhood in protecting, us against all our enemies, through instrumentalities far mere efficient than those of sword or gun. Under Mr. Faviell and Mr. Bray, contractors for two portions of the Great Peninsular Railway, 40,000 natives at present find work preparing the commencement of a line which before 10 years are out will connect the Bay of Bengal at two points with the Arabian sea. The administration of these geutlemea is perfect, as is the example they set in everythin that is praise worthy and excellent to those around them. The people are earning in money, well and punctually paid, four times the income they ever did before, and the ends of civilisation advanced by the grand civiliser, industry, under the stimulant of gain. We noticed in our last a singular decision that had been given in the case of a portion of the earth works of the lake about to be created in the Vehar valley for the supply of Bombay with water. The valley is to be ponded up by three embankments, the largest of which is 90 feet in height and some 400 in breadth at base, the other two being some 20 and 30 feet in height respectively. It was first expected that these would be chiefly constructed through local instrumentality, Mr. Conybeare, the engineer who designed the work, having pointed out that much larger dams had been formed by the native princes in the north-west provinces. Having gone home on deputation to hasten arrangements, an English contractor of great respectability was arranged with, but as a twelvemonth bad been trifl edwater f a otav w inlee a lri y nlnome a ws nd alarms began eelivir which aethnise e me t round o arisequinquennially--- tui c i f t e o n ti n e the y o thene of g with Iris constituents, ee c na o n n I s ev t ni r l t c ei t i e et d o N b ,e y order rk. ofi‘ correspondr Conybeare had ceasedlwiaaissttl and by an extrordinary i s ; e w a h g e r n e e e tt, c , o n i a s e e to f r a r a r a r s i v i e t d it serieswei fo o u f n l d il i t i h n d t.t e r t re ferred to compensation for work performed, was open to almost unlimited misapprehension.

OF M Y LIFE. BOMBAY-LOCAL. We are informed on good authority that Colonel Sir Henry M. Lawrence has been appointed chief commissioner iu Ou COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. REPORT ON THE STATE OF BOMBAY MARKET FROM THE 16TH OF JANUARY TO THE IST OF FEBRUARY, 1857. The Overland Mail from London of the 26th of De cember reacted Bombay at ono o'clock in the morning, of the 22d of January per Peninsular and Oriental Com pany's steam-ship Singapore. Our money-market during the fortnight has been, if anything, slightly easier, and no further rise bas taken place in the rates of interest ruling at the banks. On the 16th ult. the Government opened a 5 per cent. loan for three crores of rupees, no part of which can be paid off before the latter end of 1871, but it is generally sup posed that the public wilt not contribute to this loan to any extent ; therefore the Gover❑ment mu , t either open a 6 per cent. loan or take 4 per cent. paper in the propor tion of one-half as part payment to the new loan to se cure the amount of money required. We quote 5 per cent. paper at per cent. discount, and 4's at 81/—few buyers. IMPORTS. Cotton Piece Goods.—The market in.general may be said G be in the same favourable position as we last noticed, and the business done has been to an extent that shows that operations have been conducted with activity. Grey long-cloths have changed hands at ad vanced rates. Grey domestics have also shown a slight improvement in prizes ; inferior quality is in little re quest. Grey jaconets have realised from 10r. to 12r. for pick goods. In grey shirtings, 40' and 45 inch makes, the prices have somewhat advanced. Grey T-cloths have had a fair amount of business transacted in them, the market not being well supplied. In grey madapol lams, a'so, the business done has been to a fair extent. Bleached and Fancy Goods.—L Ippet scarfs, 21 yard goods, aro much in request, and fetch if. 4an. per piece. Book mu:lins are dull of sale. Of lappets, though the stocks are not heavy, no advance in price has been reported ; coloured lappets also show no improvement in the rates. Bleached madapollams are difficult of sale and bleached jaconets have been sold to a slight amount. Cotton yarns remain steady as last reported. Metals—lron is in moderate inquiry. Nail rod, sheet, and hoop are in fair demand, while Swedish bar may be said to be firm. Pig and sheet lead, and tin plates are scarce. Spelter has advanced. Marine Stores.—Of canvas stocks have been much reduced, but the prices do not show any improvement as might have been anticipated. Twine is evidently im proving, though cordage is rather dull of sale. Cochineal—No sales have been reported during the fortnight. EXPORTS. Cotton Wool—The market has risen up from 4r. to sr. per candy on goods of all qual , , ovving to the prices ruling in England. We quote el , l Dhollera at 121 r. to 122 r., new, 123 r. to 124 - . ; new Surat and Broach, at 127 r. to 128 r. ; O a rnrawutty, at 122 r. ; Can deisb, 115 r. 0 11Gr. ; eawt.inned, 126 r. to 127 r. ; Compta, 118 r. to 119 r. ; and I\labgarole, 112 r. to 113 r. Oil soeds have undergone no change in prices, but re main firm. Linssed, however, is a little lower in value. No transactions have been reported in rapeseed, though teel has changed hands from 22 r. to 231 r. per candy. Opium—This article has further declined since our last, and we at present quote the drug at 925 r. to 930 r. per chest. Tonnage—Since the arrival of the last overland mail the rates of freight have adval cod from 3/. 2s. Gd. to 3/. ss. per ton for Liverpool, and 3/. to 3/. 2s. Gd. for Lon don. Exchange—Owing to the continued heavy receipts of bullion from Europe the rate has given way, and bills have been sold as low as 2s. 11(I., but latterly first-class paper has been done at 2s. lid., and local bills and docu ments at 2s. 21.

(From. the Calcutta Englishman of Jan. 23 ) Since our last report of the Bth inst. we have been in receipt of intelligence from London via Bombay to the 10th ult. The steamer Bengal, with the mails, was an nounced the evening before last, and came to her moor ings yesterday afternoon. The ad vices by the London mail of the 26th ult. were received here this morning by electric telegraph from Bombay. Our advices from China received via Bombay extend to the 30th tilt. No material change hal taken place in the state of affairs in that country, trade being entrely suspended at Canton and little business doing at Hong Kong. The news of the total destruction of the foreign factories at Canton by fire given in our last issue has been confirmed. The inter% al that has elapsed since the dewatch of the last mail has not been marked by much activity in our produce market, which has continued, generally speaking, in much about the same position. The low stacks of our staple articles and the comparatively higher prices ruling in our market have confined operations to a smaller scale than the favourable advices received from home would have led us to expect. Indigo continues to move off steadily at the decline last quoted. Raw silk has been in bettar favour, but very little business doing. Corahs have been rather flat, the amouLt of transactions during the past fortnight being very limtied. Saltpetre has not been generally dealt in, in consequence of high sugar for Great Britain. Hides ten dency in value. Jute still commands extreme figures , demand with an upward pr prices, continue L i n i tt v l Le r d y o i a n c g t i i v n e but we have little of fine quality offering. In oil seeds a small business is in progress for the British markets. Rice has been easier and supplies more abundant. Wheat rather drooping. Au improved demand has prevailed iln a s )o - rt market a bett er f ee li ng has been ob served the fortnight un d er rev i ew . The nature fur c o t du o ru r r i o i tn :d g of the advices from the upper and north-west provinces for, British cotton piece goods being more favourable, coupled with moderate stocks in our markets, has in duced dealers to extend their operations, and larger pur chases bad been made of grey goods, in some instance s at higher figures. Grey shirtings have been in better in quiry and value has improved. Gray jaconets and ma dapollams have continued to sell freely, the latter at a slight advance. In white there has been no alteration, the demand being very limited. Turkey red goods are gradually improving. A. better feeling has been displayed for mule twist, but no improvement in prices has yet taken place. Nothing has been done in inetal4. Money Market—On the day our last mail closed the directors of the Bank of Bengal raised their rates of in terest and discount t NO per cent. all round, making their charge for loans on deposit of Company's paper 8 per cent., and of other goods 9 per cent per annum. Yester day again the Bank's rates were raised further 1 per cent. all round, and it is evident that money is getting dearer in the market, and we shall soon be in a lees favourable position than we are at this moment. The event of the fortnight, however, in coun(edion with our money market has been the chAng of the 41 per cent. Government Loan, and the opening in lieu of it on the 1650 10,4. of a 5 per cent. Loan. The fertnei financial measure of our Government has proved whit it was generrl'y expected failure—Lthe total amount subscribed in all thn pre sidencies, it is said, scarCely.excee'ding 20 lacs. ; The amount now repaired at 5 per cent, is three core, , , which wilt not be paid off for -16' years. The . _ prbse!,t loan does mot seem Wawa with much 'favnar in general, and there- seems art opinion prevel:nt among persons well acquairlted with the present state of ino'netary mat ters here that Amin share the same fate as its predeces sor, and that Government will be - ultimately compelled to adopt vfhat fai been so repeatedly_iirged—i. e , receive from subscribers amoiety in cash .0.40 the - moiety in 4 per Cents, at par. "We are inf.rmed th to the present moment a very small amount has pail into the Treasury on account of the new 5 per, Loan. By the last published statement of assets and 1, ties- of the Bank of Bcoga.l for t'ie week ending o 14th inst it appears, that the calls on the hank bol cash and other acqommodation have been on the inc lately, the amount of silver having decreased 108,12,357 r. 10 s.

The operations on the whole have been on a limited scale. Exchange on London—A good business was done at slightly lower rates , credits having been 11. eed at 2s. 2id. to 2s. 21d., and documents at 21. 2:ld per rupee, out the last two days the first-named class of papers has again been sold at 2s. 21d. to 2s. 2-gd. per rupee, which may may be considered as the closing rates. On China-Some 60 days' sight bills were negOtiated at 211, but since the .o . pium sale of the 12th inst. 210 r. per $lOO have been accepted by sellers, and a fair amount of transactions took plice at the last named rate. ,There being, however, very few buyers, sellers have given way, and some business has been done at 205 r. per $lOO. Freights--The engagements during the past and pre sent weeks have been extensive in comparison with the moderate supply of tonnage now ava lable, many vessels long overdue not having made their appearance yet. Shipments of rice to Great Bri.ain have been resumed with activity, the rates to London varying from 3/. 10s. to 31. 15s. ; and to Liverpool 3/. to 3/. 54 per ton ; and 3/. 15a. to 4/. for seeds to the former place only. We hear of a vessel having been retailed for America at sl2i per ton, but there is no active demand for tonnage in consequence of the accumulation of a large number of chartered ships at $l5 to $l6- per ton, which are being loaded on account of the charterers. Nothing has been done for the West Indies orAustralia, nor any ship taken up for Mauritius since our last. Some inquiry has pre vailed for loading at Arracan and the Burmah coast, but as the accounts from the former place for grain are rather discouraging, and shippers ask a long period for loading, few ships would be prevailed upon to enter into engagements, more especially as our supplies of produce are bcoming more abundant. No ships have been taken up for France or the Mediterranean, and we have had but few charters for other places during the fort night under review—i. c., Robert Morrison, fur Bombay, for 9,250 r. ; Capabiribe and John Tempesley, for Ham. burg, at 4/. 6d. all round ; henry and Oscar, to Ar racan and thence to Hamburg, at 41. 15a. 6d. adround ; Arracan to Hong Kong, Macao, or Whampoa, to load with rice at 85e. a bag.

Sir John replied that the matter had been already brought to the atten'ion of the home Go: vernment. We have just received intelligence from Canton informing us that the whole of the suburbs west of the city had been burnt by our force on the 12th inst. In this service we regret to.say that a party of the 59th Regiment missed their way, and getting under the city wall were assailed with stones and matchlock 4, losing two men killed, 11 severely wounded;and 10 slightly wounded. A large fire had also taken place inside the city. Admiral Seymour has decided on blowing up the Dutch Folly, retiring from the gardens, and making the Bird's-nest Fort his outpost, where we hope he will be able to remain until reinforcements arrive. We take the following items from a supplement to the Overland Friend of China : _ "ATTEMPT TO RETAKE TEATOTUM FORT. " Our news from Canton was just a week old when her Majesty's steamship Coromandel, Lieut. Douglas, R.N., commanding, arrived about half-past 10 o'clock last night, bringing the following information :—The Coromandel was lying with the Niger and Encounter off the Factory Ruins, Canton, when at 20 minutes past 1 p.m., on Sun day last, a boat arrived from the Macao-passage Fort, advising the admiral of the approach below the fort of a large number of Chinese war junks. Steam was got up im mediately, and, with all the available boats in company, the Coromandel proceeded to a reconnaissance, the En counter. being directed to folleow as Born as possible. By the time the Coromandel got down to the fort the Chi nese had ranged that portion of tbeir squadron, some 60 vessels, that had come down the Fatshan Creek, in a line bet ween Marines' Island and Barrow's Island, about midway between the Mama passage (Teatotum) Fort and the stations of the Hornet and C 0113113 off the barrier —say a mile and a-quarter from the fort, a mile and a-half from the Barrier, and were exchanging shots. The time chosen f)r this approach had been well considered ; it was a dead low neap tide ; consequently a vessel of the Hornet's draught of water was unable to get up the pas sage, the Encounter being similarly disc` led from get ting down. But just as the Encounter was under way anme 20 cr 30 vessels were seen coming into Starling Reach, and instead of proceeding directly it was deemed best to send a few shot into them. The Niger, and the make-shift gunboat at the boom, too, took up the fire, and continued it till they retired. The Encounter then attempted to get down the Macao Passage, but unfor tunately grounded somewhere off Birds' Nest Fort, and was unable to gct the assistance of the others engaged. The accident being observed from the Coromandel, Sir Dd. Seymour did not deem it prudent to do more with the Coromandel than stand on the defensive, and accordingly dropped back with the tide, still firing from the bow gun, and sent the boats' crews into the fort. The Chi nese, of cour-se, attributed the movement to irresolution, and came on bravely to within 400 yards of the fort, when from the minids of the marines and small arm men, till then under cover, they received repeated volleys, which must have committed frightful execution. It was half-past two, that a 201 b. shot from the Chinese struck down Mr. Pearn, master's assistant of her Majesty's ship Calcutta, in charge of one of the cutters of his ship—a wound in the breast proving , mortal. The cutter was immediately sent to the Encounter that he might have surgical attention, but he only lingered till sundown, sensible, and speaking of his family to, the last moment. This gallant young fellow had been in charge of the same boat throughout all the previous operations, and was an of car of high promise. It was about 4, or a little after, that the Chinese, finding they had again met more than their match, and knowing that as the tide made they could not show* , fight a minute, gave signs of an intention to re turn the way they came, to freshen which movement the Coromandel and boats stirred up their wake, firing shot, shell, and rocket as fast as they could be poured in; and as the Chinese boats were crowded with men the havoc among them oannot have been trifling. At all events, they were too busily engaged in escaping to answer the fire. By 5 o'clock they were out of reach, in water too shallow for our approach. "The Comus and the Hornet all this time were hard at work, too, the former, sprung broadside to Hamilton creek, pouring the contents of her guns* into another division of Chinese junks which had made their appear ance in that direction—the Hornet's long 68 in the rear of the division which had gone towards the fort commit ting terrible ex .cution, while the boumboats, headed by Capt. Forsyth in his cutter, did their best in an unsuc cessful attempt to cut off the stragglers in their retreat. Just as the engagement was over and the Coromandel returning to her old berth off the Factory ruins, the Encounter came down, anchored for a short time off Teatotum Fort, and then returned to Shameen. " In addition to the lamentable casualty mentioned six men were wounded in the boats, and one boy of the first class severely burnt on board the Coromandel, while in the act of screwing in a rocket-staff, which accidentally ignited, either from the friction of screwing or the back fire of a previous discharge. It is supposed that not less than 7,000 Chinese, in altogether some in boats, were engaged in this the most plucky action on their part that has ever been witnessed by English naval office rs.

Our last dates from London are to the 10th of November. The steamer Madras leaves to-day with the outward mails. At Canton little change has taken place since the 30th of December. Our troops remain intrenched in the Garden. Her Majesty's steamer Niger, with the flag of Admiral Seymour, is at anchor off the ruins of the factories, and the other men-of-war are distributed in the river, commanding the most im portant points. Several exceedingly well-planned attempts have been made to blow up and burn our vessels, and although they have been as yet unsuc cessful in doing any material injury the great est vigilance is necessary. The Mandarins have collected a large number of wur junks in the creeks of the river, and on tit° 4th inst. they attacked the Macao Fort at low water. Her Majesty's steamer Encounter attempted to move down from her anchorage, but grounded, and the fight was maintained by the fort, thesteamer Coromandel, and men-of war's boats until the rise of the tide enabled the steamer to come to their assistance, when the junks retired into shallow water beyond range. Mr. Pearn, master's assistant of her Majesty's ship Sybille, was killed during the action, and two officers and three seamen were woum . le d. The loss on the side of the Chinese must have - be en consider able, as the Minierifles of our marines. tr ad severely. On the 30th ult. the postal steamer Tb istle, while on her way from Canton, was cut off by a party of Chinese, who had been received on board as passen gers for Hong Kong, but proved to be et uissaries of the Chinese Government hired to perfor m the tra gedy in which they succeeded. All on b oard were murdered with the exception of some Cli inese pas sengere, and the vessel was then run a.s bore and burnt. There were two foreign passengers on board at the time—viz., a Spanish gentleman, Signer Dias, formerly Peruvian Consul-General, and an invalid of the 59th Regiment. Since this dreadful occurrence another river steamer has been attacked and narrowly escaped capture at the hands of a Mandarin fleet, and core munication with Canton is now almost entirely su pended.

The mate ,(PeterFe .) sue. cee lea in getting into the cabin, and fired several mus kets at the wretches as they attempted to "get hold of him. A stinkpot thrown into the cabin at last drove him ov• rboard, and he must have been drowned, as he was never seen to rise. The Manilla mart at the wheel was killed from behind, without seeing the hand that wielded the weapon. In all, as we have said, 11 persons were thus disposed of, and search was made for the Chinese boys in the cabin, one of whom, by jumping overboard and hiding under the counter of the vessel, succeeded in escaping, as did the others in other ways. The Chinese firemen were then directed to remain at their work, and the vessel was steered up the creek called by the Chinese Chowmee, to the village of Lo.mkongtow, distant some half-a-dozen miles inland. There her wood work was set on fire, and when that was destroyed, every particle of brais work that could be removed was taken away ; in fact, the vessel is so much disabled that it is ques tionable whether it is worth while to repair her. The assassins, said to have numbered under a dozen in all, lost no time in walking off with the heads of their victims in handkerchiefs, and at Canton, we suppose, will receive the rewards said to be offered for such commodities by the gentry and people. Having turned all the Chinese passengers out of the steamer, as suggested by the Captain Wood started for Hong Kong, first communi cating the above to the Hornet off Sunchow, and to the men-of-war lying at the Bogue. " The other of the postal steamers, the Rose, on her way up on Tuesday morning, descried the burning vessel and made all speed up to report the fact to her Majesty's ship Sybille at Whampoa. But nothing could be done without the orders of the commodore, busily engaged with his men in the Dutch Folly—and the Rose was di rected to proceed on her way to Canton without delay. Unfortunately, owing to the low state of the tide, it was not possible to get up the usual route, and she had to make detour by Blenheim Reach. Before she could get round the Barracouta was observed coming up with the Thistle, her hull having been found at the mouth of the creek. The people of the village off which she had been taken, fearing lest the consequences might be visited on their beads, bad prudently resolved to have her moved by fishermen into the stream, where in a short time she would have sunk, a stop cock being open, and a hole made in the starboard bow, by which means she was nearly full of water. After some little delay to arrange the manner in which the Barracouta should be safe for any salvage to be awarded, Captain Ricoby was per mitted to take ctarge of his owner's vessel and return to Hong Kong. Five headless bodies were found in the hull, and in the coal bunker, as before stated, the char red remains of another. , ummoned to an inquest on one of these bodie.3, we shall be in a better position next week to confirm or amend what is now written."—Friend of China, Jan. 3. - - "The coroner's inquest on the burnt remains of a human body found in the coal bunker of what was the steamer Thistle stands adjourned till after the current criminal sessions. It has transpired that when the as sassins completed or were upon their bloody work they threw off their garments and displayed the uniform of the Che Yeong—' Wise Braves '—a militia under the control of the Mingling-tong, the society at Canton that has always been foremost in a display of hatred to bar barians.

HONG KONG,- JAN. 15, 1 P. M. An attempt was made this morning to poison a considerable portion of the foreign community. The author of this diabolical act is a Chinese baker ruined Esing, who (being doubtless induced by the promises of reward held out by the mandarins) mixed with his bread a large quantity of arsenic, • - and after sending it round to his customers left for Macao in a steamer at 8 a.m. All who partook of this bread were shortly afterwards seized with vio lent retchings and other symptoms, but prompt remedies being applied we are happy to state that up to the present time no deaths have ensued, al though great numbers have been ill, and some are still in a dangerous state. The quantity of arsenic was too large to answer the intended purpos-, its presence bwrig immediately betrayed, and anti dotes forthwith administered. It is fearful to con template what the results might otherwise have been. A steamer has been despatched to Macao in hopes of intercepting Esing, but we fear he will have gained the mainland ere she arrives. _ Trade remains entirely suspended here.
