THE REBELLION IN CHINA.

CHINESE PROCLAMATION.

The following items of information respecting the
Chinese insurrection are taken from a supplement to the
Overland Friend of China :
It was reported on Saturday, the sth of March, that
Kew-keang, in the province of Keang-se, fell into the hands
of the rebels on the 2tth of February; and that the rebels
proceeded thence to (loan-k'hing and Woo-hoo. It was
also stated that Luh, the governor of Keang-nan, had re-
tired upon Nanking which was in considerable danger.
The inhabitants of Nanking
and Soochow were in great
consternation, and fleeing in all directions. The gentry of
Shanghae had invited 300 village braves to guard against the
disturbances that might be excited by local banditti. The
price of gold and rice had risen considerably ; while vessels
intended to convey the emperor's rice by sea to the
capital, from the provinces of lieangnan end Chekeang
were few in number, containing only about 6,000 or 7,000
peculs ; all which circumstances are icdicative of political
troubles. Despatches have been received by his Excellency
the Taoutaa from the governor of Keangsoo, requiring
him to implore the foreign consuls to send immediate as-
sistance to Nanking, and stating, as we understood, that
unless foreign aid were afforded, the city of Nanking must
fall into the hands of the insurgents, who are represented
to amount te above 30,000 men ; probably 20,000
may be nearer the number. Rumour said a meet-
ing of the foreign consuls was to take place for
consideration of the subject. We are credibly
informed, however, that no such meeting was
contemplated, and, indeed it is evident that
without forces and steamers were sent up hither
from Hong Kong—no foreign assistance could be
afforded worth notice—independent of its being

the best policy of all civilised powers to leave the Chines
to settle their own disputes, and not interfere prematurely,
so as to risk the future opportunity that will, in all proba-
bility, arise ere long, to mediate effectually, and for the
benefit of the world at large, by the extension of facilities
for commercial and general intercourse with the Chinese
throughout this vast empire. We are informed on very
credible authority that the insurgents, after having arrived
at Kew-keang and Onanhwny, took possession of all the
trading vessels anchored at the various towns and markets
along the banks of the Yang-tsze-keang, having embarked
on board of which they pushed on in an easterly direction.
The imperialists say that, on account of the breadth of the
river, their army could not arrest their progress. The
lorchas sent up by the Taon-tae of Shangbae were found
unequal to the emergency, and the insurgents have arrived
in heat of Nanking, where they were on the evening of
the 13th (when the last accounts came away) threatening
every moment to attack the city, which we. in the greatest
danger.—North CAiesa Herald,

PARAGUAY.

Sir Chas. Hothamarriiedii the Locust at Buenos
Ayres from Paraguay on the 26th March, having
concluded a treaty with the president of that re-
public. The chief provisions of the treaty are be-
lieved to be the following: British subjects are free
to navigate the banks of the rivers of Paraguay ;
British traders may settle and carry on commerce
in any of their towns, instead of being restricted to
Assumption, as hitherto. Finally, they may marry
the daughters of the country—a privilege from
which they have until now been debarred. Similar
treaties have been made with France, the United
'States, and Sardinia. It is to be hoped that the
. .

signature of this treaty is but the commencement of
longer and worthier reforms in the commercial sys-
tem of this country, hitherto the type of exclu-
siveness.

It is stated that tho President of Paraguay would
only consent to sign the treaties on the condition
that the several plenipotentiaries should undertake
to use their good offices with tho court of Brazil to
obtain a favourable treaty regulating the frontiers
of the two countries. It is said that he wants about
twenty leagues of tho territory at present subjeet to
Brazil.

BRAZIL.

RIO DE JANEIRO, Aran. 13.
The report on 'Change to-day is that Urquiza in
person was besieging Buenos Ayres with a force of
8,000 men, backed by promises of assistance from the
Brazilian government, which wishes to change the
Argentine Republic to a monarchy, and make Ur-
quiza its head, but the truth of this report 1 do not
guarantee.
The yellow fever is still rife at Rio. Much praise
is due to the Rio Janeiran Board of Health for their
care of the eases on board the shipping in harbour.
A small steam-vessel, having a highly skilled medi-
cal man on board, visited the shipping daily, at 0
a.m., and again at 4 p.m., bringing away all con-
firmed cases to the Fever Hospital. \ easels re-
quiring the above medical attendance hoisted their
national colours, or a black ball at their main mast-
head.

Mr. Heneage, attache to our legation, has fallen a
victim to the terrible yellow fever, consequently we
have only the Hon. Mr. Jerningham left. We hope
he may tie spared to us, and one thing is certain,
should he escape the fever he will not fall a victim
to the laborious duties of his office.

stouts of four 1001. note s, five 101, notes, and the remainder
in small autos. Wallies counted the large notes, amount-
ing to 4:01., sad laid them aside on the counter, while be
proceeded to look over the small notes. When so eapged
• weil•dressed person came behind him on the lift side, and
hurriedly asked him to point out the manager's room.
Wallace loaktd round, sod ind:catiug with his head,
said "7n the left." Which of the doors:" said the
stranger. The clerk told him, and immediately turned
round to resume the counting sal the small notes. 1.1111
saw in a moment that the parcel of large notes, vii.,
450/., had disappeared, and exclaimed, "My money is
gone'" Mr. Crawford, a respectable citizen, who was
transacting business in the bank beside Wallace, said, " 1
saw a gentleman lilt a parcel of notes from before you, and
there he ia, leaving the bank this very moment ," and cer-
tainly at the instant a man was seen hurriedly receding
from the glass dour which opens to the street. Wallace
hastily snatched up the small notes and rained out, but by
this time the thief had got to the bottom of Miller-street,
and mixed in the crowd continually rolling along Argyll-
street. Wallace could not have identified the thief, even
though he bad come alonpide of him, for, in point of fact,
whit", the one fellow engaged the clerk's attention on the
eft side, his associate came up on the right, and hastily
snatched the money, and Wallace, consequently, never saw
him. The thief who inquired fee the mansger's room
vanished amid the confusion, and although 1001. has been
offered as • reward, so yet there are no tracts of either the
culprits or the money. The perpetrators of the robbery are
supposed to be English thieves.

EXPORTS.

Suosa.—Our receipts this year have been very heavy,
and, but for the great scarcity of shipping which has pre-
vailed in our port up to the present moment, the operations
would no doubt have been extensive. Toe high rate of
freight current, however, would not admit of the execution
of orders, and, with the accumulation of stocks in dealers'
hands, it was generally expected prices would decline.
This would no doubt have been the case but for the favour-
able
accounts received from Europe by last English mail,
which caused a good deal of animation in our market, and
large purchases were effected at considerably enhanced
prices. During the past week, however, the transactions
have been smaller, and our market is quieter again.
COTTON.—Owing to the absence of favourable advices,
our market has been without animation for some time, and
the few sales effected have been chiefly on Spanish account.
We quote good first quality at 6.200, equal to 6 26.100
f. o. b. ex freight and commission, at 280. exchange;
and second quality at 4.700 to 4.800 doh. per aerobe,
equal to 4 82-100. Stock on hand for sale, about 700
bags. In the outposts stocks are larger, and the price
asked is 6.600 per aerobe f. o. b., at which we hear
of three cargoes having been sold. Our shipments this
season, say from Ist July to date, have been 31,999 bags,
showing an increase of 11,000 on that shipped at same period
I last year.
HID29.—An increased inquiry exists for this article, but
at present there are none on sale. Last sale was at 116
for shipment to Hamburg, but 126 would now be
given. Shipments since let November, 1852, 38,253, of
which 11,416 to the United States. . _ .

tiated for this conveyance, 10,0001. at 29, the remainder

BUENOS AYRES, APRIL 2.
The stagnation of the past month can hardly be ex.
needed. The transactions of the wholesale market, besides
a very limited demand for local consumption, were confined
to a few unimportant remittances for the Paraguay market.
The demand for the littoral and interior Provinces, that
gave a character of comparative buoyancy to the month of
February, was completely checked, first by the hopes of
peace, and latterly by the fear of war.
Its these circumstances, and with the heavy arrivals of
March, and, we may add, the alarming announcement of
forthcoming cargoes, it is impossible that prices can rally.
The supply of manufactured goods on hand is already enor-
mous. Besides our Custom-house stores, long ago filled to
overflowing, there may be in this City alone, 100 private
deposit stores. Montevideo, we presume, is pretty much in
the same predicament; not to mention the stocks sccumulatcd
at the Rosario. end other points of the Parana and
the Uruguay. In the face of these facts, which no impar-
tial observer can doubt or question, and which we consider
it our duty publicly and solemnly to proclaim, it is a volun-
tary suicide on the part of foreign Importers thus to force
promiscuous cargoes into the Plate. It is to aggravate the
past and forestall the future, at the expense of the present ;
to add new combustibles to a conflagration that has al-
ready attained formidable proportioaa. There is nothing in
our overheat situation, or immediate prospects, to justify this
reckless speculation, that must derange all interests, and
ultimately recoil with unmitigated severity on those most
interested in preventing the catastrophe.
Exexwerez.—Spanish dollars and patacons, 21} ; Patriot
' doubloons 310; Spanish do., 340; bills on England per
doubloon, 665. to 665. 3d. Highest rate of exchange on
England during the week, 68s. per oz.; lowest, 666. The
amount of sterling bills drawn by this packet has been
very large, considering the condition of the city—say more
than 100,00 W. (the rates have varied from 66e. to Ws.), a
small amount having been also passed at a higher figure.
Bills are still offered at 665.

PERNAMBUCO, APRIL 21.
IMPORTS.—Paying prices have bean obtained on most
imported manufactured articles, but demand, with little
exception, up to the present has been dull, attributable in a
great measure to the suffering state of the country from
long and severe drought. This being the commencement
of our winter season, when sales are generally small, we do
not look for much improvement during "the next few
months. Our receipts from let January have been 4,577
packages from England, 870 ditto from United States, and
450 ditto from Havre. Market amply supplied for present
wants. Blue drills, 270 to 280 per yard, abundant.
Osnaburgs 210 per yard wanted.

TIIE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 15, 1853.

CHOPWELL WOODS.

TO TEN EDITOR OF THE EXPRESS.

SIR,—As the only plea for the maintenance of the
Woods and Forests es'ablishment is that the forests
are nurseries for oak timber for navy purposes, and
as the above wood was to be sold after the investiga-
tion of the Woods and Forests management by Lord
Duncan's committee of the House of Commons, I beg
to call your attention to the mode in which it is
being dealt with.
The whole of the present stock of timber growing
lupon the 760 acres is in course of being taken down ;
and that, not with the view of planting oak, but in
order to plant the whole with larch. You will find
in the first report to parliament by the Commissioners
of Woods, dated Ist August, 18.52, that after long
reports from a Mr. James Brown, advising this course,
the commissioner approves such replanting with
larch, stating "if the 779 acres of Chopwell Woods
were thoroughly surface drained, and planted exclu-
sively with larch, there can be no doubt that at the
end of forty years the value of the soil would be
materially enhanced for the purposes of agriculture,
if at that time it should be found desirable so to
appropriate it."
The country is to pay for the maintenance of a
costly department, not to grow oak for our wooden
walls, but to grow larch in order to effect a sale of
the land for agricultural purposes forty years hence.
Let the view to which it wu understood the go-
vernment were pledged be carried out. Let the land
be sold at once, with the standing timber upon it.
But this course would diminish patronage. All the
expectant woodreeves would be unprovided for; there
would be one less deputy-surveyor, Chopwell being
sold. And other woods might be dealt with like-
wise. Nevertheless, the setting up forests to grow
larch is an amusing (and costly) absurdity requiring
some explanation from government.
I am, Sir, &e.,

OPENING OF LETTERS AT THE POST-OPPICE.—
Yesterday Lord Dudley Stuart's return was printed, @bow-
ing the number of warrants issued by the Secretary of State
for detaining or opening of letters in the Post-office in each
I year from 1846 to May lut. It appears that there was one
warrant in November, 1848, signed by Sir George Grey, in
a cue of embezzlement, apphoable to one pavan. One
warrant in August, 1849, signed by Sir George Grey, is a
ease of murder, applicable to one person. One warrant in
November, 1850, signed by Sir George Grey, to return a
letter to the writer. One warrant in November, 1850,
signed by Sir George Grey, in a case of fraudulent bank-
ruptcy, applicable to one person. One warrant in January,
1853, signed by Lord Palmerston to return a letterto the
writer; end one warrant in April, ISA signed by Lord
Palnunston, in a owe of embezzlement by a county port-

great proportion of the Bop plantations in which the bine is
still in a very weak and unkind state. lt, of course, remains
to be seen what effect the present drenching rains may
have ; most persons think, unless very hot weather follow,
that it will operate much against the crop. The market re-

There was was scarcely any English Wheat at market this
morning, and although the receipts of foreign Wheat have
been large the quantity of fresh Baltic Wheat is by no
means large. The heavy fall of rain during the last
forty-eight hours has checked the downward movement in
prices which was apparent on Wedne•day, and the rates
obtained today were fully as good as on Monday, with aa
increased disposition to purchase both Wheat And Flour.

PLYMOUTH ELECTION.

The friends of Mr. Palmer, says a correspondent,
are very confident of that gentleman's sumac On Wed.
sudsy evening Mr. Brain's friends met at the Globe
Hotel. The room was crowded. W. W. Snell, Esq., was
called upon to preside. The bon. candidate stated that he
bad bees pursuing his canvass with great vigour, and that
shoos* every where he had found a kind feeling for bias
pm:ooy, and most of the asperity that bad esis•ed was
softening down, so that many who bad been doubtful be•
bun, bad promised their votes to him, while others who
bad sot Tot made up their minds had expressed their de-
termination not to vote against him. He was determined
to dostrerything that he could to bring about a union of the
liberal interest, and would make every sacrifice to effect it,
even, if hie friends would have allowed it, to the extent of
altogether retiring from the field, if it bad not been thought
that such an act would have made the division already ex-
isting still greater. Some spirited addresses were delivered
by the chairman, Mr. Pontey, Mr. Skardon, Mr. W. Los-
combo, Mr. W. Coming, Mr. E. Lane, and othergentlemen,
all of whom expressed their confidence in the result. There
was also great satisfaction expressed at the interest evinced
by many of Mr. Collier's friends, some of whom gave in
tbinr adherence, and on doing so were loudly cheered,
while a hope was expressed that the whole party would
eye their assistance, and thus secure the boroagh to the
liberals, who undoubtedly largely preponderate in it.

SCHEME OF LIEUT. BROWN.

Admiral WALCOTT moved for en address for copies of
the scheme of Lieut. Brown, R.N. (referred to in page 7);
also, of the scheme of Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Napier,
K.C.8., R.N. (referred to in page 29) ; and of Mr. C. H.
Pennell (referred to in page 30); all Waded to in the report
en the subject of the manning of the royal navy, recently
laid on the table of this house by Ism Idejesty's eonenand.
This glean had, be said, excited pray intavest among
navel Misr; mei be *might the peeiMis M the papers

Sir J. GRAHAM owed the pliant Aar he would be
glad to discuss the sweet at a mere ratudent time. In
the coarse of a short tfie be intsmiled M ewe for leave to
bring in two bills, whisk weedigisve opportunity to
elicit the fullest diseuesien. With yelped to two of
documents, they were draft is promies of the berme,

BERWICK ELECTION.

Mr. MITCHELL. moved the nomination of the select
eionsinittos on Berwick election petition—Mr. Mitchell, Mr.
E. Baskets, Mr. Bullies. Mr. llullinge, and Mr. Collier.
He saw as an amendment cm the paper of the hon. member
for Petenfield, that the Lamination should be referred to
the committee of mikados, and although he thought
the committee named a very fair one, he would not object
to that coarse.

Sir W. JOLLIFFE said he proposed his amendment not
on personal muscly and independently of this particular
antics. He bed observed a want of respect for the deci-
sions of committees, owing to the fact that they were ap-
pointed by those who made the charge, and there fore he
proposed that th.y should follow the precedent set in the
Derby case in the present session, and in the Ste mford
ease in 1848. He would move, " That it be an instruction
to the general committee of elections to select a chairman
and four other members to be the select committee, and
that the members so selected do constitute the said com-
mittee, and that they have power to send for persons, pa-
pers, and records."
Sir J. TROLLOPE said the duties of the general com-
mittee of elections were expressly laid down in the act of
parliament, and did not include that which it was now
sought to impose upon them. They bad never been asked'
whether they would undertake this duty ; but, it it were
the pleasure of the house, he would undertake on their
behalf that they should perform it under protest.
Mr. MITCHELL would leave the question in the bands
of the house. A. the same time, as no lawyers were to be
employed, he wculd ask who was to conduct the inquiry ?
After a few words from Mr. NIRDINIALTR, which were
inaudible,
Mr. BRIGHT sail he quite sereed-uritlrthe hon. mem-
ber for Petersfield (Sir W. Jolliffe), that the committee
should aot have the character of an amuses., bet also
thought it desirable that there should be some one on the
committee who was acquainted with the case. Unless the
hon. member for Bridpoet were a member he did not see
how the examination wad be eendeeted.

flu J. GRAHAM *might there was great weight in the
lest elmeevatina of the bee. member fee Manchester. He
resellemled llte ease Oen Irish deeds* in which • friead of
mask oldie parties was plead at the essamittee ; and he
Imeedd suggest that if Ave males" were chosen by the
I sseamittee of selection, sad the hem. member fur Bridpert
sad a friend of Mr. Hodges were added, the inquiry world
be __Judd in • proper mouser.
Mk 3. S. WORTLEY said, having been a member of
lam Slumlord committee, he recollected that that course was
mew&
Kr. MITCHELL approved of the suggestion of the right
hoe. baronet, and was willing to adopt it.
After a few observations from Sir J. TLOLLOPI and Sir
J. GRAHAM, the committee was nominated, with the under-
Handing that Mr. Mitchell and an hon. member represent-
ins Mr. godson should form part of it.

HOLLAND.

ROTTERDAM, TUZSDAT.

It is now ascertained that for a moral certainty
the new cabinet will have a majority of at least
twenty five in the Second Chamber, which contains
ninety-eight members. No answer has, as yet, been
received to the note sent by that cabinet to the
Papal government. One of the Hague. papers of
this morning persist in stating that ministers have
recognised the newly appointed Roman catholic
bishops, and observes that it will not be satisfied with
any denial, except with an official one in the govern-
ment paper, the Stoats Courant. Whether such a
denial will be made in order to satisfy the opposition
prints, I know not, but I must continue to assert in
the most positive terms, that the Roman catholic
bishops have not been recognised in any way, direst
or indirect, by the present administration. The
Bishop of Haarlem ordered an episcopal letter to
be read last Sunday in all the Roman catholic places
' of worship in his diocese, informing the faithful that
" by the grace of God and the Holy See," he had beeu
raised to that dignity.

BARON ROTHSCHILD'S SEAT.

Mi. M. GIBSON wished to put a question to the noble
lord. the member fur the City of London, of which notice
wet given previous to the Whitsuntide teens. A bill had
room 11 that b itise for the purpose of relieving Jets from
certain disabilities, and it had sines been rejected by the
other haute of parliament. The City of London having re-
turned a Jew to represent it in that house, that gentleman
was at present unable to discharge his duties, and, as the
*eat was full, a new writ could not be issued. 'I he question
which ha wished to ask the noble lord was, what course he
propueed to take in the present position of affairs? Holding
the noble ►ord responsible for the management of business
there, and having regard to the very peculiar position
of the City of London, ke begged to ask his
what course he would advise the house to take, and alto
whether the government meant to make any further effort
during the present session, or at any future time, to settle
this imp 'runt question.
Lord J. RUSSELL taid—Sir, with respect to the im-
portant question which my right hon. friend has asked me,
I have to state, in the brat place, that I do not think this
question can be settled by leaving things as they are at pre-
sent. My opinion is, that it is much more probable that it
should be stifled by a bill, making a general alteration in
the oaths to be taken by members of parliament, than by
recurring to a bill of the nature of that which has been re-
jected by the House of Lords; but at what time such an
alteration should be proposed, I cannot at present under-
take to say. however, I observe that there has been a bill
introduced in the other house of parliament for an altera-
tion of the oaths. I have not seen that bill, but it is pos-
sible that it may mine down to us ins short time in a shape
by which this difficulty may be settled.
