set, and three persons were killed by the shock.
CHINA.—TITE ENGLISII AND Tne ENGLISH
TisADE.—At a recent meeting of the Asiatic Society, the
secretary read some extracts from a letter written by the
Rev. C. Outalaff, who had accompanied Sir John Davis, the
Governor of Hong Kong, in a tour of some of the northern pro-
vinces of China. In Chusan, Mr. G titzlaff visited most
of the houses and families at and near Ting-hae,
the capital ; and he bears deci.ive testimony to the
benevolent conduct of the English towards the
natives during their occupation of the island, and to the
grateful feelings of the Chinese there towards us. Our de-
parture from thence is deeply regretted by all classes of the
peiple. At Shing-hat he says the trade is flourishing, and
imports and exports are increasing. At Ningpo nothing is
done. At Foo-chou not one Englishman resides,
the except at the
consulate, &circumstance much to be regretted, as place is
the emporium of the black tea country. Amoy is getting
on fairly ; but the climate is very unhealthy. Mr. Outzlatf
expresses himself with much energy relative to the bad feeling
at Canton against foreigners and to the danger to which
they are exposed by the hoetility 54 the population. He ad-
verts to the necessity of our having permanent resident at
the capital. The Hong Kong trade is not flourishing, but
the town increases in size and population, and is superior to
Macao. Much toleration is accorded by the Chinese to the
Christian religion. Several Chinese remarkable for their
eloquence are preaching the Gospel in many parts of the
empire. The number of Roman-Catholic missionaries in the
country is about eighty.

THE RIVER PLATE.—The Constitutionnel of
Friday contains the following paragraph :—" A ministerial
journal announces this morning that M. Deffandis will cer-
tainly be disavowed, and be obliged to sign the treaty pre-
pared by Mr. Hood ; a treaty of which we have already made
known the spirit and the principal clauses."
LIVERPOOL, Nov. 28.—We are informed that our
government has united with the French Cabinet in approval
of Mr. Hood's preposition to terminate the difficulties of the
River Plate. We may consequently anticipate a speedy
pacification of the affairs of the Argentine and Oriental
republics.

COLONIAL.
CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.
We are indebted for the following extract of a
letter from Graham's Town to Mr. T. C. Campbell, who adds
the following information further illustrative of the tlocu-
meet :—" My correspondent is a settler of some twelve or
fourteen years' standing, and intimately acquainted with
every particular entitled to have weight in the formation of
his opinion. lie appears to have full confidence in the pre-
sent governor, but represents him as checked and thwarted
by the Deputy Quartermaster-General, who is said to be
equally disliked by English and Dutch, military
the
men
the
civilians, and to have done all in his power to paralyse
energies of the Burgher forces. The state of affairs in the
Ca Colony is most lamentable, and demands immediate
attention sea remedial measures at the hands of govern-
ment." With these remarks of Mr. C., we submit the letter
to the judgment of our readers :
Gasnaa's Town, Seer. 29.—After five months' living on rations in
a camp formed for patrolling the country, and bushing it, 1) has
come Into town for me to equip him for a commando into Creili's
country to seise cattle and horses : this is particularly hard upon me,
SA it will cost me upwards of 301. to clothe and horse him to go out to
be killed. Ile himself is very anxious to make the campaign, and
therefore I must reconcile myself to it, and tried In Providence for his
sale return. The commando is composed. of the 1: itenhage division of
farmers, some 300. All the western,ilivision of burghers have gone
home bowies and elotheles. I believe also a company of the Albany
Burghers is called up-300, the object of his Excellency being to
move into Creili's country with all the horse force he can
muster, to seize horses, on or about the 10th of next
atantlyo. Our situation at present is very heart-breaking, con-,
tl harassed by the predatory excursions of the barbarism
and a total apathy at head-quarters towards repelling than.
The preterit aspect is certainly very dincouraging, though this pest
brought good tidings from Europe, which have caused our thorn&
meters to rise a few degree.. We were all far below freezing point
up to this period. The cheering intelligence that our affairs In& en-
grossed the serious attention of ministers has indeed derided ger
drooping spirits. What the ultimatum of his Excellency's romans
will he no one as yet knows; but I have confidence in his udgment
end his, determination. I wrote hint a lengthened epistle,j point
out my views as to the final settlement, an extract of which I
enclose you. lie very politely acknowledged and thanked I
me for the some. Within these brit few days he has sent
for the Rev. W. Shaw, of the Wesleyan body, and the Rev. Kr.
Calderwood, of the London Missionary society, to consult them p
presume, on what was best to be done. I dislike this appeal to Ws. I
sionaries, who have, up to the period of the irruption, been
the people as well as the government as to the real state of CadrfCerlival2
Unfortunately, a violent, nasty feeling is in existence in this place,
so that it is extremely difficult to arrive at the truth, as what one
party asserts the other denies, and rice versa. Unfortunately, the
frontier papershave been crammed full of the controvensicsof the clergy,
and the language made use of by one missionary towards another, if
not equal to Billingigate, certainly falls very little shot
acrimont of it. The
press in Europe might do something to diadiscourageage such ious
enrri-spondence. His Excellency is at present recruiting his forces
after five months' guerilla warfare, the enemy at all points evading
his manceurres, and I see no wearied of the war finishing for the next
six months, unless some kind of arrangement or I.4lldCrAtAlldillOr
made with some of the chiefs to recall their people for it la an utter
impossibility, if the chiefs remain as they are now, to drive the Caffren
out of the colony—no, not if they send even twenty more iments.
and
People may talk as they please, but the very nature of the coreny
the Coffee mode of warfare render all our efforts nugatory. Regular
troops, acting according to military etiquette and rules, are totally
useless: and UTIVIO his Excellency adopts that spec ies of warfarefar-
which was exercised during the Spanish business, we may look
ward in rain' for peace or security. No power but that of the chiefs
can withdraw: the enciae froin our country, and they will continue to
live on us, harass, and destroy us."
