EVENING EDITION:,

THE CHINA SUN.

Tut CRINA SUN.—The enterprising proprietor of The Sun has
added another to the many laurels which he has acquired. We
have before us The China Sun, published on the 2d instant. It
gives the public what was really much wanted, a complete and ac-
curate map of that immense empire, with an admirable and
graphie, historical, and statistical account of the past and present
state, strength, and resources thereof. Had we not previously
been cognizant of the wonders done by Mr. Young in connection
with printing, we could not have believed it possible that the im-
mense number to be " worked off" could be prods ced so perfectly
distinct and clear, notwithstanding the extreme difficulty:attending
the striking off of the map. There is, in short, more useful and
amusing information offered by The. China Sun, for the charge of
Gd., than could, in the ordinary way, be obtained for ten or twenty
times that amount, if, indeed, it could be had at all in any one
publication. The present effort is worthy of those before made
by the able, liberal, and independent journal in question ; and we
Mist that public support will amply repay the enterprising pro.
prietor for the euormons outlay he must have incurred.—Cork
Southern Reporter.
The China Sun will materially elucidate the important intelli-
gence received by the overland mail, and furnish the public with in.
firmation which is doubly interesting at the present crisic—Not

THE NEW ROMANCE OF MILITARY
LIFE.

" THE COKS-13111ATORS:"

By CAPTAIN QUILLINAN.
" This highly exciting work is not one story, novel, or
romance, but a series of stories, having this single link of
anion, that they all present some phasis of that Philadelphian
eons ,iracy which existed agahot Napoleon in the ranks of the
French army, and made him grow pale and tremble in the very
noontide of his lower. In the first story, the Philadelphian
brother is a French Colonel, and a strange mixture of the sen-
timentalist, the sensualist, the ruffian; and the hero is Auguste
Chapelmonde. The story in which he figures, The Sisters of
the Douro, is, in our judgment, the most exciting story of the
day. We never laid the volume down till we had completed
its perusal. The scene of the next story, entitled The Royalist.
is laid in Switzerland. Ilofer, the Tyrolese patriot, is intro-
duced, and tl.e national peculiarities of the people of those
mountain regions are excessively well pourtrayed. The third
story, The Man without a Name, is rather an historical sketch
of the Philadelphian Conspiracy than a tale, but it will be read
with deep interest. It is full of curious, and, to a majority of
English readers, we suspect, novel information. We recom-
mend' The Conspirators' as the most agreeable series of talcs
that has appeared this season."—Conservative Journal.

THE WEATHEN.—Some snow covers the
liround this morning. The wind remains in the same
quarter, N E., and the temperature is &van lower than it
w,s yesterday. In-doors, without fire, the mercury, this
14. Morning mark,, 36, and there are indications of some
g Qui sharp bracing days. such as old Father Christmas is
t.
wont to bring with him. About nine o'clock this !corning
k we experienced a night-like darkness, which continued,
however, for a few minutes only, and we have now a re-
, markablv flue frosty day, the sun shining out with a beauty
and brilliancy quite cheering.
We understand that Colonel Ferguson, the son
of Sir Ronald Ferguson, and nephew of the late estimable
M,:mber, will stand for the Kirkcaloy Burghs. There is
`pit, no question as to his suitableness or of his success.
4'd_', The Mexican Governim2nt has given official no-

be re-exported. The importation of arms of a superior
description, such as tlre commonly used by private per.
