LONDON:
TUESDAY, JUNE 9, Igo.

Besides the important news from China received
- yesterday, the overland mail_from India, conveyed
to Suez by the Zenobia steamer, has brought
despatches and Journals from Bombay, of the 30th
of April. Copious extracts from them will be
fund in another part of The Sun.
The attempts to burn the Bitish shipping in
Toonkoo Bay were miserable failures, but they are
decisive proofs of the virulence of the Chinese.
They begin the war with us, they do not mait to be
attacked, as if they were determined to leave the
Herald and the 7 lines, and their friends, without a
single ground on which to decry the spirited con-
duat of the Ministers. They have seized at once
_lke very last weapon to which a brave enemy would
have recourse, and have sought by (Aiming- the ships
to destroy a multitude of peaceful traders. It is
probable that women and children had taken refuge
on board these ships, and that this was known to
- the Chinese, which would make their conduct quite

It would appear, too, by the memorial of TSANG
WANG YEN, sanctioned by the Imperial authority
and that of the Grand Military Council, that the
plans of the Chinese Government are deliberately
and artfully laid, and are to be vigorously executed.
On the sum ss of LIN in extorting 20,000 chests
of opium, it is inferred that the foreigners arc para-
lysed with terror, and their absolute annihilation is
ri?commended. The ports are to be shut against all fo-
reigber, and, with a princely disregard of the revenue
tki-ived from trade, all trade is to be put an end to
the foreigners, Portuguese at Macao and all,
are brought into due submission. With a true
Ctrines disregard of justice, the innocent and the
guilty are all jumbled together, and other nations
arc to be punished for the conduct of the English.
We cannot abridge, with any propriety, the lan-
tuage of TSANG WANG YEN, hut it will supply
readers with the strongest proofs that the war
is begun, and is waged in the most savage spirt
by the Chinese.

Sump- curious informat ion is supplied from
Pekin, where it appears that considerable dis-
orders prevail, and wheie traces have been disco-
vered of several conspiracies. Similar scenes have
occurred ac another city, called Monkden, where
some assistant-mazistraes have been degraded,
and a plot .discovered, embracing many hundred
persons. With piracy on its coast, and disaffec-
tion in its .capital;, the Celestial empire Mils an
;mini:rent hazard by provoking an attack flow us.
'The'.preparations in India were going on rapidly,
and we are glad to see that steamers, powerfully
armed, form part of thc. expedition. The Madras
portion of the army was embarked on board the
John Adam and Rastomjee Cotvasjee, which had
sailed to join the rest of the fleet. The whole
force from Calcutta was to have left that place
about the 25th of April, " anti we :3lrall look," says
the C'ol,-..z;:qa " with great interest fu
an account of its proceedin2c." We repeat that, and
we look without apprehension, for the recent con-
duct of the Chinese must have temoved from every
mind all doubts of the righteousness of our cause,
while, of our power to redress the wrongs which
the'Ceiestial Government has inflicted • on our peo-
ple., no man can have a misgivirt.

We are convinced that the priesthood, if they
mean. to keep a station in society—we do not say
their present lofty station, for that is so incompa-
riblo'.with their own doctrines and the public wel-
-4.3re it t-taitilat be preserved—hut if they mean
to ket station of 'any kind in society, they
cannot do better than act on the hint we yesterday
e1r.4...7, Out, end interpose at once to soothe the con-
Ittitt abate the large and incompatible claims
which are now made by the different classes of so-
ciety. There is a want of a mediative power to
ititrrfere,- for the Government—using the word in
the larg sense) as including the Legislature
and all the governing powers—the Govetnment
which 002!it to in: such a power—whili ought,
in fact, ware it to realise in a very inferior degree
the food
expected of it—to be emphatically
the master of the whole society, and to be
wholly unaffected by the peculiar passions and
