CHINA.

The Overland Iliend of China says, in its sum-
mary of Feb. 27 :
" Afikirs in China are in the process of develop.
meat, and though we have little of an extraordinary
nature now to tell of, next moil it is probable will
carry home news of important events. The braves
ere mustering in large numbers around Canton, de-
termined on an attempt to retake the city.
" It is understood that all thought of a visit to
Peking this year is given up, and that Shanghae
will be the extreme northern limit of the am-
bassadors' travels. Already the Viscount De Con-
tads., on the pert of the 'French, and Mr. Oli-
phant for the English, have proceeded es advance
couriers. The Furious, the Earl of Elgin's yacht,
fitting out with all despatch for the journey towards
the commissioners, expected at fihanghae. For the
true interests of China this breaking up of the expe-
dition to Peking is fortunate. England has but one
policy, the extension and consolidation of her com-
merce. In extension, no fitter place for negotiations
could be conoeived than the mouth of the Yang-tze-
kiang ; whilst, under the present position of affairs,
oonsolidation would not be advanced by a tour Peking-
wards.

" Her Majesty's steam ship Inflexible, carrying
Yeh a prisoner to Calcutta, left Hong Kong on the
22nd inst.

"The China New Year holidays are hardly over;
so bat little information regarding trade at the port
of Canton can be expected. It has to be noted,
however, that the steamer Hong Bong took a full
cargo of old tea to Macao a few days ago, and the
steamer Willamette brought a quantity of cassia
here the day before yesterday ; and that in neither
woe were duties paid by the shippers; in fact, as no
announcement has been made regarding customs, it
is presumed that, for the future, or at all events until
the Emperor's phasure is known, Canton stands a
free port."

Vil Wail. NAM DISTILLIZY CONTANT (WIT/VD).

The het of contributories to this company having !men
settiedot sitting waa now held for the proof of debts.
Mr. Iteraburgh, on behalf of Mr. Benjamin Young, elm
reenufacturtw, of Bermondsey, a creditor, asked that an sddi-
Gomel liquidator should be appointed for the winding up of
the 'gift, end for the better protection of alditors.
Mr. kleta., Mr. Elmslle, Mr. Cox, Mr. Chidisy, and
lir. George appeared for various parties interested.
Charges of a very serious kind were made spinet those
directors who had the management of the oompany's affairs;
but as the statements were experts, and only one ride was
bawd, we reserve our report.
A Dtrer, addnesing the court, sneered • hope that
unsupported charges would not be allowed to go forth to the
pubtie until an opportunity had been afforded of giving an
mom to them.

His Honour Mid he thought that would be only fair.
Some unopposed proofs having been taken,
Mr. Roxburgh applied for a day to be named for the ex-
amination of the directors.
His Honour thought the appointment premature, and de-
clined to name a day. With reference to the questions mimed
Mike last meg be observed that though he had only
an the list Mose who were on the register of share-
It was open to any one to contend, before the proper
co o,"that there were other persons who ought to have been
on the register of shareholders.
The next meeting was Axed for the 22nd of April.

The learned counsel, referring to' the

Hannah Burtet4atteadexplanation was that OW
as to he Burgh had been borrowed
of that and in her marriage settlement with
Captain Toker. He was most happy to say that he should
be able to show that several rant charges upon the tliftwent
farms end land In Kent would, irrespeotive of NM mon-
=produce a much larger annual sum to Mr. Glover
the act required ; and he felt convinced that the jury
would feel gratified, after hearing the evidence which he
should adduce, to relieve the defendant from the aloud
which had hung over him ainoe his unfortunate attempt to
obtain the honour of representing the borough of Beverley.
Evidence wee then van to show that an assignment was
made in November, 1 2, from Mr. Thomas Bison to John
Power Glover of the Irish estate, in trust for the official
enigma of Edward Glover; and that Captain Toter and
Hannah his wife had released the mortgage upon the Irish
property. It was also sworn that rent-charges upon the
Kent estates exceeded the required amount, and both Mies

for Beverley had been disputed, consulted Mr. Wright, the
parliamentary agent, slime dead, and he had enured them
Glover's gain:kaiser was in every tappet sufficient.
Mr. Washy, in replying upon the defence, contended that
defendant must have well known that the property was not
of sufficient value, end went at some length into the enown-
braces upon the estates in Kent to prove his aineotione.
His Lordship, in summing up, went very nainvitely into
the question of the mortgagee upon the estates, and told the
jury that they must not cmly be satisfied that the defrardent's
statement was false, but also knew it Grants for thepurpose.

was not sufficient for then to convict the de-

The jury then retired, and after an absence of above three
hours returned a verdict of Guilty, but reccandeadad the
defendant to mucy upon the ground it wu the first pro-
