The nines' correspondent at Hong Kong writes :
The allied fleets have done nothing to the northward, and
we understand Sir James Stirling has been employed in the
negotiation of a treaty with Japan, which Commander H.
Stirling is expected to proceed with to England next mail.
Two of his imperial majesty's ships and her Majesty's ship
Pique have taken possession of one of the Kurile Islands,
called on our charts Ouroupe (a company's island), and by the
Russians Iveroup. The Russian settlement there was de-
stroyed, when the flags of France and England were planted,
and the natives, with presents of flour, told they had now new
masters. The island is said to be about sixty miles long, has
a large inland lake, and sends (has sent) a number of valuable
furs annually to Ayan. The British fleet is expected to return
here shortly, while the French, we understand, proceeds to
Manilla. Since writing the foregoing the steamer Erin has
arrived front Shanghai, with dates to the 10th instant. The
advices contain no change in commercial matters. Her
Majesty's steamer Barracouta left for the Gulf of Tartary on
the Bth, and the Styx for Nagasaki on the 10th. The Bittern
was refitting.

The Bombay Times says : "It is generally reported that
Chin, Ho, and the priest Anang, have reappeared in the south
of Kwang-si, under a leader styled the Little Carp, and there
combined their forces, but not showing in a large body in one
place. The Governor-General sent a detachment of three or
four thousand men, with boats and artillery proportioned,
under the command of a colonel, who proceeded as far as
the district of Tank, southwest of Wuchu Fu, in Kwang-si,
where he and his corps stationed themselves. By some means
the insurgent leaders made him believe they wished to tender
their submission to the Emperor, and managed so well that,
ere he was aware, he was surrounded and his forces completely
dispersed or destroyed—men, vessels, ammunition—all being
taken or scattered. All the chief officers were taken, and,
with the other prisoners, doubtless, were put to death. Rein-
forcements have been collected and despatched to the place ;
but though not much is said, a sense of disquiet was felt in
the minds of the Cantonese, and they are anxiously awaiting
further news from the reinforcements sent to chastise the Cruz OF ASTHMA COUGHS, Scc., By DR. Loco
