and some of our Hong Kong speculators, we are i
told, hare already sent emissanes dairy, there fur the
purpose of buying live stork, vegetables, and other
plunder, cheap.
,nir Fong there was nothing stirring. The
Friod w Chian says:—" We have again to report
upon the improved health of the troops in garrison.
To the present date there have been only three deaths
in both European and native regiments with a sick
list now numbering 42. This contrasts favourably
with the sanitary report for the month of May last
year, when LI deaths were recorded."

The Overland Mail brings ;livices and journals
from Singapore to June 1. The cholera, which had
broken out some six weeks previously, is estimated
to have swept away nearly one thousand persons,
Malt's, Chinese, and natives of India. At the date
above mentioned the disease had subsided, but on
the Malayan peninsula the most fearful ravages were
being made, especially amongst the inhabitants of
Calantan, Tringanu, and Pahang. The cholera had
likewisa broken out in Siam and Cochin-China,
where its ravages were unmitigated by medicine,
reliance being placed in charms to stay its progress.
Complaints were made of the great number of tigers
on the island of Singapore; many persons had been
carried off by these beasts, and the utmost conster-
nation prevailed amongst the cultivators whose plants-
tious are chiefly surrounded by dense jungle, now in
course of being cleared by convict labour, but the
work necessarily proceeds.with much tardiness. We
observe a great falling off in the annual immigration
of Chinese, amounting to one-third of the number
which arrived in the previous year. In Dial only
8.205 arrived ; 3,641 in 23 square-rigged vessels, and
4,301 by 21 junks. On -May 4th his Excellency
Durnayer Van Twist, the new Governor-General of
Netherlands India, arrived in the mail steamer, and
shortly afterwards proceeded in a Dutch war
steamer to the seat of government at Batavia. On
May 27th Commodore Lambert arrived in her Ma-
jesty's ship Fox, and was to remain until after the
mails from Europe, when the Fox would sail for
Trincomalee, and rejoin Admiral Austin, after doing
which the admiral intended to sail fur the Straits
and China in August.

IRELAND.

Dt num, Jutr_ls.

The news of the escape from Van Diemen's Land
of *Manus, one of the Irish political convicts, has
just been communicated here in a letter from John
Mitchel to Dr. Gray, thu editor of the Frer»aan't
journal. M the writer of the letter supposes the
circumstance to be known in detail through the me-
dium of newspapers, which, however, have not been
eccived, he only mentions it in the following post-

P.S. —1 hethink me that I ought to tell you bow it fell
nut that l'ltlanus found himself at liberty to make his
escape. Of course, when the governor took him into cus-
tody, and revoked hi. " ticket of leave," his parole was at
an end, and it would require a new ticket of leave and new
promise to revive it. In O'lloherty's ease, after his month's
Lard labour, his ticket of leave was restored, and a new
parole required of him. Not so M. MAMAS he was not set
at liberty again by the governor, hut in spite of the go-
vernor, by the intervention of another power, the " Su-
preme Court." And, far from giving him hack his " com-
parative liberty," or taking a new parole, the governor
scut him orders at once to report himself at a " hiring de-
pot." Hut it was too late—M'Manus laid a clear day or
two, and good frituds ; a ship was ready to sail, and au he
went off J. M.

The eelebration of the 12th of July in the north
has passed over without the slightest interruption
to the public peace.
The Aggregate Tenant Right meeting at the
Moyne ytsterday appears to have met all the wishes
of its promoters. The weather was not very pro-
pitious for an out-door demonstration, the rain
having fallen heavily in the early part of the day,
hut a considerable mass of people nevertheless
congregated, and everything seems to have passed
off satisfactorily. 'the meeting was held on an emi-
nence overlooking the river, and within a short,
distance of the obelisk commemorating the famous'
victory of William 111. A large banner displaying
the colours of orange, green, and blue, was unfurled,
and the prnti,rdunts and eatholies who were assem-
bled joined very cordially iu their cheers fur the
common object they had in view. The meeting
wu presided over by thu Very Rev. Archdeacon
Fitzgerald.
