In coming up the coast the admiral despatched die Blonde into Amoy with a message. On her rejoining his excellency at Chusan it was discovered that she sent in a boat with a flag of truce This, on approaching the beach, was fired on by the Chin, of whom were drawn up in line along the shore. The frigate immediately returned the fire, and continued it for two hours, by which time the Chinese troops were scattered in all directions, and the walls of Amoy levelled with the ground. The liiss of the Chinese in killed and wounded is not known, but it is supposed to have been considerable. _ Majesty's ships Blenheim and Pylades, the steamers prize, together with several transports 1 at Chusan, subsequent to the nd store ships, also arrive capture of its capital. • Shortly after the arrival of the Blonde the admiral and Captain Elliot proceeded to Hingpofoo with that vessel, ac nied by the Conway cruiser, Algerine, and Queen r. Their object was to get a sealed letter transmitted ___ Emperor. The mandarins behaved with the utmost nility to the admiral and received the letter, being fur nished at the same time with a copy of its contents. Even tually, however, the original document was returned after after having been opened. Hingpofoo is the capital of the important province of Iche Kiong, the viceroy of which (a relative of the late governor of Chusan) is the first Chinese of high rank who has condescended to treat with the British authorities on terms of equality. Instead of bestowing on them the usual epithet of fanqui, or barbarians, he styled them the honourable officers of the great foreign nation. It is evident that the capture of Chusan, and the cannonade of Amoy, have at least had the effect of teaching the• Chinese civility. In consequence of the letter having been returned, Hingpofoo has been blockaded, and preparations were being made for putting the mouth of the river Yong he Kian (leading to Nankin) in a similar state. The city of Ting-hae-heen is about six miles in circum ference. The walls are built of granite, interspersed with brick of an inferior description. The following appointments have been made :—Colonel (or rather, agreeably to his local rank in India, Major- General) Burrell, to be governor of Chusan ; Major Ste phens, of the 49th, and Captain Caine, of the 26th regiment, to be commissioners for taking charge of public property ; the Rev. Mr. Gubzlaff, to be acting chief magistrate; the Right Hon. Lord Viscount Jocelyn, to be military secretary to the naval commander-in-chief. _ The appearance of the island is said to be very beautiful, and its scenery strongly to resemble that of Wales; magpies, blackbirds, and larks have been seen, as also many wild flowers, which have been found in England. _ . The Enterprise left Chusan on the 21st of July, at which time it was expected that the admiral would shift his flag to the Wellesley, and the commodore to hoist his broad pen nant in some other vessel. It was also said that the admiral would proceed in a few days to the Gulf of Petcheli, Some of the ports on its shores are within one hundred miles of Pekin, and at one of these he will insist upon despatches being forwarded to the Emperor. Captain Osborne came to Macao in the Enterprise, whence he proceeded to Singapore in the Kitty, and was conveyed from that port to Calcutta by her Majesty's ship Childers. He brought with him only the public despatches, but the Kitty arrived a few days afterwards, bringing, intelligence from Macao to the 4th of August. The blockading squadron had been reinforced by the arrival of her Majesty's ships Nimrod and Columbine. All the foreigners who remained at Canton—viz., two Americans, two Swiss, one Dutchman, and one Portuguese, have been ordered to quit the city. All the factories were abandoned. The Barrosa, from Bombay, was discharging a cargo of cotton at Macao, This is allowed to be conveyed to Canton through the inner passage, but the Chinese will not suffer manufactured goods to go up, neither will they permit tea or silk to pass down. A typoon came on, on the 21st July, but it appears to have caused no da mage to the shipping. Lin has organised a force of 3,000 men in 150 boats, with which he intends to attack the Bri tish. It was generally believed that he would commence operations on the first calm day. There is some probability of his making an attempt on Macao, and, though the resi dents of that place do not feel alarmed, yet they consider it a necessary precaution to arm themselves, and prepare for the worst. On the 3d of August six ships of the line were assembled at the Bogue ; viz., the Druid, Nimrod, Larne, Hyacinth, Columbine, and the Enterprise steamer. Captain Smith's object in concentrating the squadron was not known, but it was generally believed that he was about to adopt a more active course of hostilities against the Chinese than he had hitherto pursued. However. up to the date of the Kitty's departure (4th of August) nothing addional had transpired. Great inconvenience arises from - the disinclination evinced bp the mandarins in forwarding letters to the Emperor when they find that refusing to uo so occasions the stoppage of their trade, as in the recent case of things, for it is probable that the Chinese authorities will receive the urliniral's letter, with great apparent respect ; and, in order to gain time, pro fess that they have despatched the documents to Pekin, with. out having actually done so. There is little chance of the British demands being brought formally to the notice of his Celestial Majesty, until so much injury has been inflicted on the Chinese us may induce their government to endeavour to ward off further evil by negotiation. The admiral's inten tion of proceeding to the Gulf of Petehejy is, however, calcu lated to accelerate matters, as hostilities, in the neighbour hood of Pekin, will produce a deeper impression than could be hoped for from attacking the remoter provinces of the empire. INDIA. AFFG II AN I STAN. (From the Correspondent of the Morninti Herald.) The most important event of which intelligence has been received during the present month, is the defeat of Dost Mahommed, and his ally, the Walee of Khoolum, with an army of at least 8,000 men, by a small force under the com mand of Brigadier Dennie. This splendid victory took place near Bauman, on the 18th September, and was achieved by a very small British force, consisting of 230 men of the 35th regiment Bengal native infantry, 220 of the aoorka corps, with two guns, and a party of Captain Anderson's cavalry. The enemy were completely routed. Dost Mahommed es caped, but was badly wounded. All his standards and artil lery fell into the hands of the British, as also the ex-king's camp equipage, kettle-drums, and baggage. The loss of the enemy is said to be 500 killed, and a proportionate number wounded. That of the British is very trifling, only two officers being wounded, Lieut. Le Geyt and Capt. Hart. No official returns have as yet been received. This engagement reflects great credit on the native troops, as there were no Europeans present except officers, and the forces were so extremely dis proportionate, Dost Mohammed's troops being about ten times the number of those commanded by Brigadier Dennie. The defeat of Dost Mahommed is most opportune, and cannot fail to be productive of the best elreCts in allaying the present disturbances beyond the Indus, and will, moreover, awe the disaffected native states, who have latterly evinced much disaffection to the British Government. Too much praise cannot be given to Brigadier Dennie for his gallantry and decision on this occasion. _ _ _ There appears every probability of a war with Nepaul, which is likely to be accelerated by our relations with China, the former country being a dependency of the latter. Ho Nehal Ling, the virtual ruler of Lahore, has been detected in making a remittance of 15 lakhs of rupees to Dost Mahommed. The ameers of Scinde are evidently dissatisfied at being com pelled to pay us tribute. Even the Rajah of Kolapoor, in the Southern Mahratta country, has evinced symptoms of insub ordination. There is not the slightest doubt that, if Dost Mahommed had succeeded in making bead against us, there would have been a general insurrection amongst the native princes. The utmost activity prevails in the military departments throughout India. An augmentation of one lieutenant and one ensign has been made to each regiment of native infantry in the three provinces. A general order has been issued by the commander-in-chief, prohibiting applications being made for furlough except on sick certificate. All officers absent on leave have been directed to join their regiments without de lay. Major General Holt, with a division of Bengal troops, is advancing on Khelet, and we expect daily to hear of the re-capture of that fortress. Large bodies of the Bengal army are being concentrated in the northern provinces, and calls have been made on the Madras presidency for European troops. Ten thousand men from the Bombay army was ordered to assemble at Lukkur. Steamers and transports have been constantly running during September and October, between this port and Kurachee. Her Majesty's 41st regiment marched from Belgaum to Vingorla, whence they proceeded by water to Scinde. A wing of her Majesty's 4th dragoons, consisting of 16 officers and 310 men, will proceed to the mouth of the Indus in a few days en route to Sukkur. The following regiments and detachments are either at or in pro gress to that station :—The Ist and 4th troops horse artilery, two squadrons • her Majesty's 4th light dragoons, 3d regi ment light cavalry, Robert's horse, Scinde irregular horse, 300 of the Poonah auxiliary horse, one battalion foot artillery, her Majesty's 40th and 41st regiments of infantry ; the Ist, 2d, sth, 6th, Bth, 20th, 21st, 23d, and 25th regiments Bom bay native infantry, as also the 28th Bengal native infantry. The whole will be commanded by Major-General Brooks, who left this with his staff on the 15th instant. The infantry will be divided into two brigades—the Ist to be commanded by Colonel Valiant, her Majesty's 49th regi ment, and the 2d by Colonel Farqubason, of the Bombay army. The object of government in assembling so large a force in Upper Scinde is not known, it is certainly much greater than would be required for merely chastising the Belochees. In all probability it will eventually proceed against Lahore. Kurruck Sing is perfectly imbecile, and his nephew, Ho Nehal Ling is decidedly hostile to British inte rests. The Seikhs will never be our faithful allies, and the sooner their country is subjugated the better it wilt be for all parties. The mountainous district north of the Indus will never pay the expenses of their military occupation, which will be a constant drain on the government treasury. The revenues of the rich provinces of the Punjaub, and Cashmere, would easily meet this, and leave a considerable surplus for general purposes. _ _ _ Intelligence has just been received of the repulse of a party of her Majesty's 31st light infantry, in an attack led on by Sir R. Sale on a small fort in Kohistan, near Caubul; twelve men were killed and several wounded, amongst whom are some officers. Captain Conolly, of the 6th light cavalry, who volunteered to act as aide-de-camp to Sir Robert Sale, K.C.8., was shot through the heart, and fell by the general's side. The failure was said to be owing to the shortness of the scaling ladders. The enemy evacuated the fort during the night, and it has since been taken possession of by the British troops. /.......,M11,11,••••• .1,7 BELOOCHISTAN I am happy to inform you, that Captain Brown has been enabled to make his retreat from the perilous position at Kahun, where he was so long cooped up, and that he is now in safety in Shikarpore. The great loss sustained by the Murrees, or Hill Belooches, in their conflict on the mountain pass of Surtof, with the force of Major Clibborne, had had its effect on their subsequent proceedings; for they after wards offered no molestation to the fortress of Kabun, and seemed inclined for peace rather than for a renewal of hosti lities. They were accordingly, on Captain Brown's receiv ing instructions to use his best endeavours to come to terms with them for his safe conduct from the place, by no means difficult to treat with ; and he marched out of Kahun with his whole detachment, his single gun, arms, and baggage, escorted by a nephew of the Murree chief and thirty lie looches, and without meeting with the slightest molestation or annoyance. The generosity exhibited by these indepen dent mountaineers could not have been-surpassed by the most liberal action of civilised warfare. Lower Sinde is now perfectly tranquil. THE SIKHS. There have recently been many reports of the treacherous conducttfrom the o f this character people— they)w far true it is impossible to say ; but, have ever borne, not at all un likely to be so. I t is allegedt a hgt an emissary from the Lahore government was found deat2!ussoorie, with let tersges o u f e the againstm o moun taineer, then - on his person addressed to the taineers, and of a tendency to incite them w t i o l t e i l i f e British. They are said to be in league t p o u s have f assisted Dust Mahommed with money, for ge au p l o a u u n ( t i of raising troops, hooudies for this purpose,' to the fifteen lakbs, being reported to have been intercepted, a be pursuing an underhand and deceptive system of policy in Toorkistan. Rumours that Lord Auckland is about to send a force into Lahore, to punish them for their treacimrous conduct, have also been current, and it is probable it may shortly be neces sary to take this step. The old king, Kurruk Sing, is said to be on his death-bed, and the affairs of the state are entirely carried on by Now Nehal Sing and the chief councillor. The acceptation of terms by the Nepaulese will, of course, preclude the necessity of a recourse to hostilities on the part of the British, unless, indeed, they should endeavour to se cede from their compact, which, from their organization of a force to meet this contingency, appears to be thought altoge ther impossible, particularly as one of the articles of agree ment binds them to pay certain sums as indemnification for their outrages, and the expenses which, on their account, have been i ncurre d by governmen t. It has been, moreover, for some time suspected that a correspondence has been s days, maintained between the Nepaul government and the court of Pekin, and though there is no means of ascertaining the jus tice of this surmise, every probability exists that such is the case.; for, in 1815, when the British were at war with Ne paul, continual applications were made to China for protec tion and assistance, and now we are at war with China, and are at the same time threatening Nepaul, it appears not un likely that some combination may take place between the two powers against their common enemy. SIAM. Information has been received from Siam, via Singapore, 25th July. Affairs were proceeding in a very unsatis ( manner. The King had monopolised the export of rice, the grand staple of the country ; and the foreign mer chants had been subjected to much oppression and exaction, under colour of the new law to suppress the opium traffic. Thefts and robberies were of frequent occurrence. The ser vant of a European had been knocked down and robbed in the middle of the town (Baukok) in open day, and redress was refused. The King, who looks on the Emperor of China as his immediate superior, and pays implicit homage and obedience to his Celestial Majesty, had threatened, it was reported, to extirpate all the European residents, when ever it should come to his ears that the English had seized a single Chinese junk. Of course considerable apprehension was entertained, and the presence of a British vessel was thought very desirable in the present aspect of affairs. WRECK OF THE " MANGALORE."—This vessel, from China and Batavia, bound to England with a cargo of 1,300,000 lbs. of tea, struck on a shoal off the Island of Bil liton, on the 24th August last. She was got off, but after wards went down, the commander and crew having barely time to escape in the ship's boats. The loss of this immense quantity of tea, amounting to a 25th part of the total exports of the year, will no doubt have some influence on prices in the home market. WRECK OF THE CITY OF EDINBURGH, AND STRANDING OF THE OCEAN QUEEN.—Papers from Sidney, bring us in telligence of these two disasters, which took place near Flin der's Island, on the 10th and 11th July last. The former vessel is a total wreck, but hopes of saving the latter are en tertained. No lives whatever were lost. The cargo of the Ocean Queen will, it is thought, be to a considerable extent uninjured. _ _ __ _ Loss OF THE CRESCENT.—To these casualties may be ad ded the loss of the Crescent, from Singapore, bound to Lon don. She struck on Greg's Shoal, near the island of Carra matta, on the 21st of August, succeeded in clearing the reef, but leaked to so great an extent that she was abandoned. She was observed to go down shortly after the captain and crew had left her. The Assam Tea Company appear to be proceeding pros perously. They are building a small vessel at Hourah, for the purpose of running up the Assam river to the tea planta tions, and bringing cargoes of the herb to Calcutta. They have also imported a saw-mill, intended for their settlement in Assam. MEXICO. Her majesty's packet Crane, Lieut. Hill, has arrived. She is from Tampico, Oct. 18 ; Vera Cruz, 20 ; Havana, Nov. 10. We apprehend she has brought not so large a freight as was anticipated, having only 95,000 dollars. About 20,000 were shipped at Tampico. Our correspondents inform us that it will fall to the good luck of the following packet, the Star, Lieut. Smith, to receive the amazing freight of nearly 1,000,000 dollars. The Crane had only one passenger, a miner A accounts of Mexican affairs continue gloomy ; and it ap pears that a novel and extraordinary event has transpired, which will doubtless tend to increase the agitation of that al ready distracted country. It is a scheme propounded by the foreign secretary of state in Mexico, of instituting a monarchial form of government. Such a measure, at such a moment, can hardly be estimated as a judicious step. Some have thought that its publication will prove fatal to good order rather than promote it. In fact, at this moment, it cannot be said that the least security exists there either for life or property ; and many, even of the ostabished mer cantile houses, have pretty nearly finished winding up their concerns, e do not learn anything of the movements of the rebels later or different than what has already been before the pub lic, but every arrival from Mexico will be anxiously looked forward to, on account of the reported revolutionary climax which is believed to.bc just about to commence. The steam-packet Montrose, having on board the mails for Vigo, Oporto, Lisbon, Cadiz, and Gibraltar, has been de tained by a strong S. and S.S.W. gale prevailing throughout the day, which likewise has deterred the Penguin, Lieut. Luce, from sailing for Madeira and the Brazils. Passengers by the latter, Messrs. Hayman and Chaves. EGYPT Letters from Alexandria, - by iho Oriental, to the 26th of November, informs us of two official communications ad dressed to the resident consul by the Bon. Captain Walde grave, of the Revenge. The second was made to M. Schulz, consul of the Nctherlans in that city, (and now acting for the British residents,) in which he declares—" I am directed by Admiral Sir. R. Stopford, Commander-in-Chief of her Bri tannic Majesty's ships in the Mediterranean, to recall any notice of the mercantile blockade of the port of Alexandria as far as British men-of-war are concerned . This commu nication is dated Nov, 20, 1840, at which period the squadron consisted of British ships alone ; the Austrians having joined the fleet on the coast of Syria. On the 21st dommodOreapier's broad pennant appeared among the squadron, and on the 22d Captain Maunsell, of the Rodney, landed with a flag of truce and a letter from the commodore to the pasha, informing him that the sultan had been prevailed upon to restore to him the pashalic of Egypt en heridite", if he immediately withdrew his troops from Syria and restored the fleet. Captain Maunsell had three inter views with the pasha, and returned to the squadron with the pasha's answer on the night of the 23, The result of these negotiation is said to be a convention, by which the pasha promises to evacuate Syria, recail Ibra him, and deliver up the Turkish fleet, the commodore gua ranteeing to him the possession of Egypt. The official papers have not yet been forwarded, but no doubt existed as to the fact of a convention. . . The Oriental steamer arrived in Alexandria on the morning of the 18th November, after a voyage from Falmouth of fif teen days and sixteen hours, including stoppages. The net time occupied in steaming on the three stretches was 318 hours ; less by 11 than on the first trip, and less by 37 than the time allowed by contract. She spoke the Implacable off the port, heard that all was tranquil ashore, entered the old harbour amongst the vessels of war, and landed the same evening the passengers and mails from England and Malta. The latter consisted of those brought to Malta by the Great Liverpool (both for India and Egypt), and those for Egypt only, brought thither by the Acheron and Prometheus ; all detained by the authorities till the arrival of the Oriental. The Indian mail brought from Falmouth by the latter steam er, added to the liberated Indian mail of the Great Liverpool, amounted to 108 boxes (27 camel loads), which were des patched to Cairo and Suez on the morning of the 19th Nov., by Messrs. Briggs and Co., agents of the Oriental and Pe ninsular Steam Navigation Company, acting also at present for the post-office, in the absence of the offieers at Malta. The pasha continued to afford every fability for the transit of mails and passengers, and furnished the agents with a fir man, to insure a safe and speedy conveyance of the former. His own cavass conducted the return mail from Suez. It arrived there in the steamer Victoria on the 19th November, after a voyage of 18 days from Bombay, and reached Alexan dria at two o'clock p.m. on the 23d day of November. On the representation of Mr. Larking, the Oriental was detained till noon the next day, November 21, to afford time to com plete the preliminary negociations with the pasha, and pre pare despatches to England. She was also detained two days at Aden, where all was tranquil for the last month, by Cap tain Haines, in consequence of the alarming official accounts transmitted to him respecting the state of Egypt. Captain Ormsby, however, proceeded on his own responsibility, and found " all right," as usual. THE MEDEA STEAM-FRIGATE. The following is an exact account of the accident which has been already mentioned " Her Majesty's ship Medea, Alexandria, Nov. 25. " On the morning of the 20th November, according to the custom of the squadron, at nine went to general quarters. Soon after the first lieutenant, Mr. Harvey, the gunner's mate, Mr. Austen, the gunner, Mr. Couzens, bombardier, Mr. Buchanan, went into the steerage passage and opened the shell-room for the purpose of examining six shells, and to observe that the cap of the fuse was not corroded in the screw. The had examined five, and were about the sixth and last, when, upon slightly moving the screw, the fuse in the most unaccountable manner ignited and blew the cap off, the fuse being one to burn for ten seconds. Mr. Harvey imme diately threw himself down in the captain's cabin, and thereby escaped the explosion. Austen tried to get up the ladder, but before he had time the shell burst and blew him up through the hatch, which was shut. The gunner went down into the shell-room, but the deck burst in and squeezed him very much ; and the bombardier it is supposed never moved, for he was found quite dead close to where they were stand ing. The captain was wounded on deck, and the surgeon master, who was in the gun-room, and a servant. Those were all that were hurt : all the bulkheads were blown down, and everything in the way of fittings and furniture in the cabins was destroyed by the explosion ; one beam broke, and some planks blown out of the deck, and all the after part of the ship very much shaken. The fire was soon extinguished ; the shell-room and magazine drowned. Several shell-boxes burst, but no other shells fortunately ignited, and it is almost a wonder that the magazine was not blown up. " William Martin, the captain's steward, and also Alex ander Murray, were in attendance ; the latter was severely wounded." CHUSAN We copy the following description of the island of Chusan and the capital Ting-hae, now in possession of British troops, from the Sun:— Chusan, or Chowsan, is an island, about thirty miles in length, and fifteen in breadth, surrounded by numerous islands and islets of every grade, from about one-fourth the size of the principal island to mere barren rocks just rising above the surface of the water. No description could afford any correct notion of the relative position of islands so nume rously scattered in all directions. The largest number is to the south of the principal island. This island lies nearly op posite to the river of Ningpo. On its southern side is a con siderable walled town, named Tinghae, in front of which is the principal harbour which the islands afford, in lat. 30 deg., 36 min., north, long. 121 deg., 41 min. east, according to Horsburgh, but somewhat differently by others. The depth of water in the harbour is from five to seven fathoms. It is completely land-locked and sheltered from all winds. A long and narrow neck of land, extending from the main, termi nates in Kittow (Kettow) point, three or four leagues to the southward of Chusan harbour. Running along the northern shore of this land we shortly reach the entrance of the river of Tahea. Kintang on the east, and Pooto on the west of Chusan arc among the larger and more beautiful islands of this extensive group. Pooto possesses a peculiar attraction in the number of splendid temples and picturesque grottos which cover it. Ningpo is the chief city of a department, and a place of ex ti e l a r g r g s uti point, h v e e esh trade. d raysietndistant ots It nfr ot between from s e s cb i ah tt ru f ate ssfaorndmo harbour. o naa n srrstbi t nloi h eroaue e fl rfel r. this bank, five or six leagues up the river T a h ea , t h e mout h o f w hi c h i s a b out n i ne le i d from t ' ms f i ois The islands eseeh river is n inoas n dnsa e di t l xhda f : o f ae r hetpaha e sl n og i ume e fira r sfnE. t h o p m i r s e , a t l n y d t at o t h h e e n a o n r c t t o . w r a e g s e t the disemboguement of the river Tseentang. A few miles up this gulf is Hangehow-foo, the capital of the province Chekang, a place celebrated for its silk manufactures, and the seat of an inland trade. Knapoo (supposed to be the Canfu of the Mohammedan travellers in the eighth century,) was formerly the port Hangehow, but the gradual accumula tion of sands has rendered it necessary to move further out towards the sea, to a place named Chappoo, situated like Kanpoo, on the northern side of the gulf. From hence is carried on the trade with Japan, consisting of 20 large junks annually. The embankments raised against the encroach ments of the sea, and the extensive salt-works in this neigh bourhood are objects of interest. The principal city in the island of Chusan is Ting-hai, or Ting-hae,'and is properly described as the capital of the three hundred islands that surround it. It is surrounded by walls thirty feet high. Along the walls, at the distance of every hundred yards, are square stone towers. Of the towns of Europe, Ting-hai bears the resemblance most of Venice, but on a smaller scale. It is in some degree surrounded as well as intersected by canals. The bridges thrown over them are steep, and ascended by steps, like the Rialto. The streets, which are no more than alleys, or narrow passages, are paved with square flat stones; but the houses, unlike the Venetian buildings, are low, and mostly of one story. The attention as to ornament in these buildings is confined chiefly to the roofs, which, besides having the tiles that covar the rafters luted and plastered over, to prevent accidents from their falling in stormy weather, are contrived in such a form as to imitate the inward bend of the ridges and sides of canvas tents, or of the coverings of skins of animals or other flexible materials affected by their weight. On the ridges of the roofs are uncouth figures of animals, and other decora tions in clay, stone, or iron, The town is full of shops con taining chiefly articles of clothing, food, and furniture. dis played to full advantage. Even coffins arc painted in a v riety of lively and contrasting colours. The smaller c mad- I rupeds, including dogs, intended far food, are, as well as poultry, exposed alive for sale. Loose garments and trousers are worn by both sexes, but the men have hats of straw or cane which cover the head, their hair, except one long lock, being cut short or shaved, while the women have theirs en- • tire, and plaited or coiled becomingly into a knot upon the crown of the bead, as is sometimes seen on the female statues , of antiquity. Throughout the place there is an appearance of quick and active industry, beyond the natural effect of a clime not quite thirty degrees from the equator. Sir Robert Peel, Bart, M.P., has kindly intimated his intention of giving the munificent sum of £lOO towards the establishment of a reading-room at Tamworth for the work ing classes of that neighbourhood, besides becoming an annual subscriber to a liberal amount. DANCING.-Swift called dancing " voluntary madneis." The Chinese seem to think it useless fatigue, for when Com modore Anson was at Canton, the officers of the Centurion had a ball upon some court holiday. While they were dancing, a Chinese, who surveyed the operations, said softly to one of the party, " Why don't you let your servants do this for you ?" BOURDONNAIS THE CHESS-PLAYER.---M. De la Bour donnais is of noble family, being grandson to that goVernor of the Mauritius, immortalised by St. Pierre in Paul and Vir ginia. De la Bourdonnais is now about forty-five years of age. He was educated in the college of Henri IV., but has never followed any profession except chess, which be took up as a passion about twenty-five years back. La Bourdonnais inherited a small paternal estate ; but I regret to say that this was devoured by some unfortunate building speculation at St. Maloe's. His frame is largeand square, the head pre senting a tine study for a phrenologist, bearing the organs of calculation enormously developed. Solid and massive, the head of La Bourdonnais is a true Napoleon front; carved out of marble, and placed upon shoulders of granite, like those of Ajax Telamon. That eye so piercing, looks through and through the board, so as to convey the feeling that La Bour donnais could really see well in the dark, w hi c h hyp o th es i s accounts for his playing so beautifully blindfold. You have never seen La Bourdonnais at chess? Come, then ; although late, this is a glorious opportunity. He is about to give the rook to Boissy d'Anglas, pair de France ; l e t us h as t en t o get a favourable position for looking on. The spectators of the duel are no mean men :—Generalliaxo, who commanded the artillery for the son of Thunder at Waterloo ; Mery, the poet ; Lacretelle, the naturalist ; Calvi, Chamouillet, Ro bello, and others of the elite, are in the press; while the vener able Chevalier de Barneville, nearly ninety years of age, who has played with Philidor and with Jean Jacques, serves as the connecting link of three generations, and reminds one of Philidor himself come back to with the triumphs of his illus trious heir. I would rather play chess a day with Do la Bourdonnais, than spend a week with Sardanapalus.—From Fraser's Magazine for December. Asiturs Montreal, Pot . Pearl, new . U.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, DEC. 10, The importers ccnlinue to ask advancing prices for Butter, and to a fair extent realize the same. There is not much doing in Pickled Butter, and 95s is still the currency. Barreled Provisions present no feature worthy of attention. Bacon is held with much steadiness, and the trade is expected to be good. LIVERPOOL WOOL MARKET, DECEMBER 9 There has been very little doing here for the last few days in con. sequence of the attention of buyers being chiefly absorbed by the sales now going on in London ; prices remain firm. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, DECEMBER 8. (From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott $- Son.) Since Tuesday last the imports of Grain, Flour, end Oatmeal have been very moderate; but with the supplies of the preceding week,. particularly of foreign Wheat, from London, which have been pressing on the market, have greatly exceeded our regular demand, and sales have been made to the millers and dealers to a very moderate extent, at a decline, excepting on the very finest foreign and English Wheat, of 2d to 3d per 70 lb, and several large cargoes, under particular circumstances, are reported to have changed hands, in a wholesale way, at still greater decline ; while on every other article in the trade there has been little or no al teration in prices, though the demand has been very limited here and in all our surrounding markets. The weather has continued perfectly favourab:e for all agricultural operations since the 3d week of November. The duty on Wheat, from foreign ports, has increased since Friday last to 25s Scl per quarter, and on Flour to 15s Sid per brl. ; and it has also increased on Beaus to Is per quarter, and on Barley, Indian Corn, and Buck Wheat, to 105 10d per quarter ; on other Grain no alteration. Flour, in bond, continues in demand, for ex port and on speculation, at 248 6d to 25s 6d per barrel ; United States and Canadian sweet and sour, free Flour has obtained a small advance. The value of bonded Grain continues as if free, deducting the duties. At this day's market we have had a very good attendance of millers and dealers, who bought to a fair extent of Wheat at about the above noted decline. Flour free and in bond, fully supported last quotations ; all other articles but dull, with little alteration in value. Oatmeal was about 6d per 210 lb lower. WuEAT, per 701bs 5. d. S. d.
