PREPARATIONS FOR THE CAPTURE OF

CANTON.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRENPONDUNT.)
HONG KONG, Ocy. 16.

The departure of the steamer Aden with the mails
to England has been postponed from 2 p.m. of the
13th to the lame hour to-day, owing to the arrival
of the Ottawa two days hence with the mails from
England of August 28, and to enable the Hong
Kong folk to answer the letters.
The arrangements of Lord Elgin are pretty well
made up. The delay caused by his lordship's trip to
India has turned out somewhat fortunate, inasmuch
as the failure of the Ruffian envoy to epee any com-
munication with the Emperor at Pekin has need
our ambassador the chagrin of a similar, perhaps
worse, reception. The Emperor has declared his
imperial will to see no representative of any barba-
rian power. All chance of negotiation having
been cut dr, Lord Elgin has concerted
measures with his Excellency the naval com-
mander-in-chief for the assault and capture of
the city of Canton; this important poet in our hands,
the Emperor may be induced to change his mind.
As far as lam able to learn, it would appear that
the Admiral has arranged with the whole available
force to move up to Canton on the 31st of the cur-
rent month, and it is laid that the French forces
will co-operate ; indeed, it is thought that the Rus-
sian Admiral Pontiatins will also offer his aid; to
convince the court at Pekin that the "barbarians"
are not only in earnest but acting in anise°.
Lord Elgin is living on board the Ava, which
vessel will accompany the fleet up to Canton; the
naval and diplomatic powers being close at hand.
rfiThe court-martial on the commander of the gun-
boat Dove, referred to in my last letter, hes ter-
minated in the complete acquittal of that officer ; and
criminal proceedings will be taken %mind the ac-
cusers, for their foul conspiracy to ruin the reputa-
tion of a young and worthy officer.
His Excellency Baron Le Oros, the French Pleni-
e:tiary, arrived here on the 14th in the steam-
' te Audacieuae, which vessel, having unfortun-
ate y got upon the tail of the Lintin South Sand,
was towed off by her Majesty's steamer Inflexible,
without sustaining any material injury.
An application was made from the government of
India to remove the 38th Madras Native Infantry
from the Straits to Madras, if the corps could be
;wed ; but in the present state of the settlement,
Governor did not think it right to send away the
regiment.
An immense number of native prahns have arrived
from the Archipelago, all laden with produce. So
great an amount of Bugle traders have not resorted to
this port for several years.
Her Majesty's ship Amethyst and the store steam-
ship Vesper remain in port.

SOUTH AMERICAN MAILS.

(BY P.LECTRIC TELZORAPN.)

SOUTHAMPTON, SATURDiT MO/NINO.
The Teviut has arrived with the South American
mails. Iler dates see:—ltio, May 15; Buenos
Ayres, 3 ; Lisbon, Jane 9. She has brought home
101 passengers. Amongst her cargo arc diamonds
worth 87,0521.; specie to the value of 239/., besides
one box of gold dust.

Her Maj:sty's ships Indefatigable, Wasp, Rifle-
man, and Virago were at Monte Video. The Presi-
dent sailed from Rio for England, and the Retribo.
tion for the Pacific. The Princess Royal was at
Lisbon.

The Golden Fleece arrived at Bahia on the 19th
from the River Plats. We learn that disease is rifo
in Monte Video. In the confederate provinces
everything goes on smoothly.
The British Packet, published at Buenos Ayres,
says that " So far as foreign or commercial matters
arc concerned, we cannot extract much consolation
from the present lowering aspect of political par-
ties." Exchange at Buenos Ayres, 745. per doubloon.
The packet was detained by the British minister
to carry home the result of the election for the go-
vernor of the province. Absina was e:ectecl, but
he declined. His renunciation, however, was nega-
, tired by a majority of 44 to 11. His acceptance was
looked upon as certain.
The bank of Buenos Ayres had raised the interest
of deposits.
In the Argentine Provinces the revolution in the
Rosa Rio had been put down by the governor of
Sante Fe, and a temporary arrangement had been
come to with Uniniza.

At Rio the money market was tight. The Bank
of Brazil had risen the rate of discount to 9 per cent.
The coffee crop would be the largest ever known.
It was doubtful whether the new ministers would
be able to sustain themselves.

An application had been madc by the merchants
to suspend the operation of the new tariff.
Yellow fever was diminishing at Pernambuco.

The exchange on London was 271 to 28 ; 60 and
90 days. Money scarce at these rates. One hun-
dred and twenty thousand pounds effected by the
Teviot.

Freights have advanced.
From Lisbon we learn that the King of Portugal
had announced his intention to get married. It is
believed that the intended Queen of Portugal is a
daughter of the King of Bavaria; others assert that
the royal choice has fallen on a Saxon Primus
whom his Majesty saw at Breeden.
It is believed that the concordat with the people
will be rejected by the Cortez.

ROYAL SURREY GARDENS.

Haydn's oratorio The Creation won given hero
last night, being the inauguration of what is announced by
M. Jullien as a " grand musical congress, to continue for ten
days during the Handel Festival."
In this scheme M. Jullien has relied, and with reason, on
the musical excitement which the Crystal Palace festival has
raised; and the many thousands to whom the ecale of ad-
missions to the Handel celebration will form an insuperable
barrier, will do wisely to pay their shilling at the Suney
Gardena, where they will find a mimics! entertainment
which, of its kind, h unparalleled. A few years since
it would have been incredible that an oelcient per-
formance of classical works, with orchestra, chorus, and
solo singers, could be furnished at a charge of twelve
pence for admission ; yet this Is now accompliabed, and the
Surrey-prdens concerts are among tho mat important
evidences of the wad of the popular taste for one of .the
most humanising of the arts. There im a deep iiignificance
in the sight of some thousands of shilling visitors lista:tingle
sympathetic admiration to a great work by a great master.
The oratorio of last night was, on the whole, extremely
well given—the solo vocalists being Mesdames Rudendorif
and Weir, Messrs. Sims Reeves, 0. Perren, and Weiss. The
principal airs were received with great manifestations of do-
light, especially "In native worth," in which Mr. Simi
Reeves was vociferously encored. The hall appeared to be
completely elledt and notwithstanding the expensive nature
of the amuigementa, the number of visitors will doubtless
make the enterprise remunerative.

THE HARVEST IN FRANCE.

The crops everywhere present themselves in such
a condition ae to cane nnivereal eatiefaction. in Flanders,
Picardy, the Breuer, the Brie, Burgundy, and the Orlesnee,
wheat, rye, and barley promise a considerable produce. In
the Routh, where the crepe were so sexy heliffercest last year,
an abundant harvest is expected. Frees Linnet, an for as
Tarascon, and (rem iIIAiIUCS to Bayonr.e, the wheat fields
look universally fine, and Already lifts to show a yellow
tinge. Barley beeten niready cut near As ignen. end in the
neighbour's...4 of Alonipalier prepamtioue ore being made
for cutting the rye. Tile corn crops in the central districts of
France hare also A magnificent ingseurAtice. In most of the
localities of Auvergne 4,rd the 1 clay the wheat, elthough
not yet in ear, le very fine. The eye is everywhere well deve-
loped. The crops which grow on the mountains of the
Losers end the Averron are almost so high no those on the
volcanic mils of Auvergne or of the Vivensis. In the
western minim it is expected that the harveet will
he mere abundant than thet of laid year. In La
Vendk, Brittany, Anjou, Poitou. and the Limou-
sin the wisest and rye have an =tinnily rich isp-
reme. to the present time none is to be Peen beaten
down. The other crops in that vicinity also hold out the
meet favourable prospects. In the valleys cf the Rhone, the
bike, the Lire. and the thisenne, the potateee, beans, and
peso ale :olloiruble, on I the epee stay lie said of the coupe of
mum in Provenee, Languedoc, the Beare. end Gascony.
The TAMA. it is now certain, have ;mitered but little from the
cold which prevailed in May. In the Meronsues, Lan-
guedoc, Bordelais, Sitintonge, and the Orleanaia, every one
arms in saying that the vintage will be
Rod. It
Is true that the makes baa again nl( in

COMB is now being cut. Thauka to the rain which has a

the psature grounds are moat verdant, and afford abundant
sannahroent to the cettle. In • word, the cern crops, from
their great extent and their procuerous appearance, promise

NAPLES, Ica 18.

A report ha been current that on Saturday lest
another attempt was made on the King's life at Cas-
tellone, near Gaeta. It was said that an artillery
soldier had provided himself with two pistols, and
having discharged one at the King, and wounded
him in the shoulder, had shot himself. I believe the
report to be false. The true story amounts to this :
—About 581) soldiers have been con gediati at Gaeta.
According to the usual practice these should have
received 15 days' pay above what was due to them;
but it was withheld by their superior. Irritated,
they waited for his Majesty, whom they surrounded,
and to whom they presented their complaints.
The King ordered them to retire, and promised
redress, but immediately after they were put
under arrest ; not, however, until the police bad been
well pelted with stones, and the military caned in.
Still, this rumour shows that a widely-spread spirit
of discontent exists, and that the idea of regicide has
become familiar to many minds. It is no exaggera-
tion, therefore, to say that the public tranquillity
trembles on the edge of a precipice.
The ecclesiastical decrees and reseripts which I
have sent you create daily a greater sensation. One
of them, which practically permits the celebration of
clandestine marriages by priests, cancels an article
of the Criminal Code. It was therefore necessarily
read before the Grand Criminal Court not many
days since, and the effect on the judges is repre-
sented to have been very startling.

These bankrupts came up on their lest examination. Mr.
W. J. Bode for the aseiguem, and Mr. T S. James for the
bankrupts.
No opposition was offered, end no examination took piste.
Mr. Beale stated that the bankrupts had given every possible
moisten. in the preparation of their balsnee-sheet ; that it
had been Mull ten day. ago. It woe so complete in every
respect, and so satisfactory to the creditors appointed to in-
vestigate the site of the bankrupts affairs at the meeting
last November, that it was not deemed advisable to eubmit
either Sir Charles Fox or Mr. Henderson to any examina•
tiun. On the part of the general body of creditors the only
feeling had been one of regret at the difficulty into whie.h
these gentlemen had fallen, and cireunuitances which had
mince taken place had aimed a general feeling of sympathy
for both the bankrupts. With respect to the declaration of a
dividend Mr. Beale said that no time would be lost in
realising for the general body of cniclitors, but in the lament
state or the money market to forte the sale of aecuritice
would reeult in a very Pel im. loss to the estate. He there-

BOARD OF TRADE RETURNS.

-
The Board of Trade returns for the month and the
three mouths ending the 31st March, 1853, 1858,
and 1837, were issued yesterday. We subjoin a
statement of the total declared value of the exports
of British and Irish produce and manufactures
during the month and three months, including only
the enumerated articles":

For the month. For three months.
1856
1846
1867

Including the " unenumerated" articles, the aggre-
gate exports stand thus:
For the month. For three months.
1866
1856
1E57 10,456,348 .... 28,827,493
-• . _

--. •
The increase over the corresponding month of
1836 is 1,007,778!., or about 10 per cent., and over
that of 1853, 3,145,0431., or 43 per cent. Taking the
figures for the three months, we find an increase of
3,678,3901., or 14 per cett. over the corresponding
quarter of last year, and an increase of no leas than
10,018,976/„ or 63 per cent. over that of 1853.
in nearly all the leading items a sensible increase
is presented. Indeed, the evenness with which the
augmentation is spread over all the important
branches of manufacturing and industrial business,
forms one of the most interesting features of these
tables. _ •

The withdrawals of tea, sugar, and coffee last month
were confined to the smallest possible compass, in
anticipation of the new scale of duties, which camo
into force on the lst inst. The next issue of tables
will present very different results. The figures
above giN en exhibit a decrease in corn and flour,
and an increase in wine.

INDIA AND PERSIA.

(From the Boesky Toms of April 2.)
Onr news from the Gulf is very scanty. Prepara-
tions were being made at date of our last advice@ to
embark a large part of the force for Mahamra, ate.
month of the Miran ; but the operation was mob
delayed by the prevalence of violent north-woodwinds
which characterise the period of the year. The Per-
sians were said to have assembled in fares soma
time in the neighbourhood of Bashire, se that we
may hear of another expedition to Borasjoon tetras
loag. Our men were in capital health and spirits,
but forage and provisions continued scarce and dear.
Extensive changes are announced in diplomatic
departments of the service. Sir James Outran is
gazetted to the charge of the Rajpootana states,
although the general belief is that he will under no
circumstances take up the appointment. Major
Cuthbert Dasidson is appointed to the residency at
Hyderabad, the court of his Highness the Nizam.

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY Mawr._

The Cunard Royal Mail steam-ship Asia, E.
Lott, commander, has just arrived in the Mersey,
and by her we hale received four days' later intelli-
gence than to hand by the Alp..
. . _

The Asia sailed from New York on the 15th
instant, and her protracted passage is chiefly owing
to the contrary easterly winds prevailing in the
Atlantic.

She brought 124 passengers, and 322,381 dollars
in specie, a portion of which is on French account.
The Glasgow arrived at New York on the 7th
inst., and the Russia, from Hamburg, on the 14th.
Mr. Reed has accepted the mission to China, and
will proceed as soon as the steam ship can be got
ready, which is expected to be about the middle of
May.

The New York herald's Washington correspon-
dent says that Mr. Reed, before proceeding to China,'
will visit London and Paris, for the purpone of hold-
ing a conference with Lord Palmerston and the
Emperor Napoleon, and thence he will go by over-
land to Aden, wherethe Merrimac frigate will await
him.

General Cam's reply to Lord Napier on the
Chinese question was delivered on the 11th inst.
It is drawn up with clearness and precision, in a
spirit of candour and friendliness towards England.
While it declines a political and military alliance
with) England and France, the American govern.
ment will use its best endeavours to gain the common
ends proposed by both nations.
. .

There was a fire at Baltimore on the 14th, which
destroyed to the amount of half a million dollars.
ThiGeorge Law steamship arrived at New York
on the 13th with California advice, to the 23rd ult.
She brought 129,238 dole. in specie.
Nothing had been done in the California legisla-
ture with regard to the state debt, but some action
would be taken previous to the adjournment.
The present season is represented as the moat fa-
vourable for mining operations that California has
yet experienced. The receipts of gold at San Francisco
had been larger than was anticipated. The markets
continued active, and an extraordinary stimulus had
been given to operations in various descriptions of
goods.
There are advice, from Havannah to April S.
Sugar has again advanced. Owing to 240 vessels
i
being n port, freights were lower.
Advice, from Vera Crux to the 4th inst. state that
the Mexican government had issued a manifesto to
the nation, justifying its sets. The clergy had
openly declared against and denounced the sow con-
stitution in all do pendia and chive*. •

COLLISION BETWEEN THE CHINESE AND
RUSSIANS.

(From the Chino Mail)

The Peking Gazette of the 22nd November last
contains a notice of collision between the Russians
of Omsk and the people of Tarbagatai, or Tuhtava,
the mat distant portion of the Chinese empire in
contact with the Siberian frontier.
From a memorial of Chalafantii, the Chinese
resident minister, published in the above-mentioned
Gazette, it would appear that the Russians (through-
out styled barbarians) have frequently had occa-
sion to drive back their neighbours, who persist in
crossing the frontier to dig for gold. This has pro-
duced discontent, and some Chinese and Mahome-
tans, so treated, avenged themselves by firing a
Russian barn, or warehouse, one or more buildings.
On being seised by the Chinese authorities, they de-
fended themselves by a counter allegation of murder
alpinist the Rwisiana This was found to be without
any proof, and they were sentenced, principals and
accessories, to what the Resident insists was a suM-
cient punishment. His decisioa had, however, been
revised at Peking, the Superior Courts amenging,
from the evidence, that the delinquents had burned
dwelling-hoagies as well as magannes. His memorial
is to &pros this, and to defend the original
sentence, on the ground that it imposes a penalty
legally coramessiwate with the offence, no intent
being proved to do bodily harm ; also that it serves
the two great ends of maintaining the dignity of
the state and mewing the peace of the frontier. He
lays stress withal en the fact that when the barba-
rian (Russian) commissioner cams to Ili, in 1881,
to diss malaria= of trade," he, the commis-
sioner, peremptorily refined his consent to a pro-
position that life should be given for life, in case a
Chinese were killed by • Russian.
The Resident's station at Sni-taing, otherwise
Tuguehuk or Tarbagatai, is perhaps 2,000 miles from
Pekin. His report was sent off on the 19th May,
and on the 16th July, that is in 68 days, a note
from the Great Council reached him, to the effect
that the Emperor would further signify hispleasure
concerning the ease. The Board of • ntil
minute eventually arrived on the 26th September.
