We take the following from the Calcutta Eng-
.frhnian of 22d December : _ _ .

We are in receipt of Moulmein papers to the 10th inst.
The rumour that the Shan States, tributary to the King of
Burmah had broken out in open revolt, is not altogether
without foundation. It appears that the cause of quarrel
lay in the fact that one of the chiefs of the rebellion States,
named Moung-Naw-Pah, had been summoned to the court
at Mandalay, and, as it is reported, incarcerated without
any provocation, by order of the King. Having, however,
effected his escape from prison, he no sooner set foot on his
own territory than he ordered all the Burmese officials and
their subordinates, to the number of 300, to be killed, The
rest of the chief of the Shan States having at the same
time assembled a force of above 8,000 armed men, threw
off their allegiance to the Burmese Crown, and placed
themselves in an attitude of defiance. A movement such
as this is far from surprising, the Burmese Government
being thoroughly detested for its rapacity and cruelty to
ail who come within its influence. In consequence of this
formidable outbreak, the King of Burmah has ordered a
conscription to be enforced to fill the ranks of the army
destined to act against the Shan States, but there up-
pears no doubt whatever of the success of the chiefs and
the discomfiture of his golden-footed Majesty. Ihe trans-
port Light Brigade, which is to convey the remaining por-
tion of her Majesty's 68th Regiment to New Zealand, ar-
rived at Rangoon from, this port on the f6th ult., after a
rather long run. This regiment leaven with the regret of all
the inhabitants, and their conduct while stationed at Ran-
goon has evidently been such as to fully warrant the esteem
in which it is held by them.

Since the departure of the outgoing mail on the 201 h inst.
we have received no additional news from England. The
steamer with the London mail to Nov. 26 is now overdue
at Gallo, and we are in hourly expectation of receiving tele-
graphic intelligence of her arrival at that port. Our latest
telegraphic dates from London are to Nov. 20.
Produce Market—For all descriptions of exportable goods
a very limited demand has existed during the past week;
prices may be considered entirely nominal, there being no
inclination to ship most kinds of produce at the present
value of money. _

Import Market—Piece goods—No change has taken place
in our market since the departure of the Bombay mail.
Little or no business has been done.

Freights—We have nothing new to record.
CHINA.
We take the following summary of news from
the Overland China Mail of Dee. 15 :
The news of the past fortnight has been somewhat in-
teresting. The great event not only of the fortnight, but of
the present year, has been the dismissal from the Chinese
service of Mr. H. N. Lay, who, for several years back, has
filled the post of Inspector-General of Foreign Customs.
The cause of this dismissal is understood to be, that Mr,
Lay's demands upon the Chinese Government were not only
preposterous themselves, but somewhat arrogantly urged.
On this head, however, we have no particulars, but must
refer inquirers to the despatches sent to her Majesty's Go-
vernment by Captain-Osborne a fortnight ago.
From Japan we learn that Satsuma still declines to pay

the indemnity demanded from him by Admiral Kuper,
except upon condition that every foreigner quits Yokohama.

at 8 a.m. on Saturday, the sth inst., ant:
on the same morning. Distension had broker; out among
the rebels, and a party of them, desirous of surre:dering
the city, cut the Mo Wang's head off. Rumour says that
30,000 wanted to surrender, and that 24,000 had remained
true to the cause; and, moreover, that, of the latter number,
some still hold out in the different parts of the city. The
beheading of the Mo Wang has not only facilitated the cap-
ture of Soochow, but must go a great way to demoralise the
rebels generally.
Hang-Chow will no doubt soon fall, and, failing other
means, the Imperialists will be able to starve the rebels out
of Nanking. Between surrender and death, the Soochow
army will, no doubt, cease to exist.
" Hang-Chow and Nanking cannot keep up communica-
tion ; and, as the rebels have not now (as they did in 1860
when they burst through the besiegers of Nanking) any
large a: my to help them from Kiangsee or anywhere else,
they will solin be in a bad way. Full information has not
yet reached us. ..t the date of our last advices Captain
Murray and Mr. Mayers of the Consulate, who had both
gone to the front, had not returned with detailed intelli-
gence.
