THE DEBATES ON CHINA.

The Daily News, in noticing the debates in both Houses
says, that all the reasoning and eloquence were
on one side, while on the other there was nothing but
vague repititions of official generalities, without force or
effect. The Daily News does not offer any comments on
the manner in which the . debate terminated in the Lords,
but says, as to the debate still pending, the issue can
hardly be any longer doubtful.
The Post adverts to the importance of the views
expressed by Lord Wensleydale as to the legality
of the British proceedings in China, and anticipates
that a majority of 36 in the House of Lords will
have its proper weight in the decision which has to be
announced in another place.
=The Times argues from the fact that, on the debates on
China, the British officials are supported by all on one
political side at home; and condemned by all on the other,
only proves that the question is hardly one for senates....
it is an affair of the executive. It we chose to have
colonies and stations all over the world we must send out
the best men we can find, and giye them the best instruc-
tions in our power, but when we have One this we must
be prepared to stand by them, unless the case is very
clear indeed against them. No otherwurse is possible.
None other is compatible with our position, or with the
safety of our public servants, all over the globe. They
ought to be very careful what they do, but they ought to
be supported. It would be an utter farce to attempt a
revision, every act done by our representatives, 10,000 or
15,000 off, and to beep them always waiting for orders
from home. The House of Lords happily has resolved to
maintain the flag of England against Governor Yeh and
the populace of Canton.

RATS.—There are two objections to the common mode of
killing rats by laying poison for them ,• first, the :gauger to
which it exposes other animals, and even human beings,
second, the possibility that the rats, having partaken of it,
mot retire to their holes, and dying there, cause an intoler-
able stench, and produce numerous crawling insects. Greer's
Patent Anti-Vermin Mixture for the immediate destruction
of rats and mice, is tree from these objections and has
effectually cleared dwelling houses, ships, and other places,
that were much infested with these destructive and
disagreeable inmates. The smell of the bait will attract
the vermin from their holes, and it being such a special
delicacy to them, they will devour it with greediness,
and (14) on the spot. To be had at the Anti Vermin
Office, 49, Brownlow hill. Liverpool, at 6d, Is, and 4s each.
Can be sent free by post to any part of the United Kingdom,
