Gazette, May 23.
Letters of the 17th instant, received this mu.
the force under Brigadier Wheeler, state that he is ge...
on as well as could be expected. He was detained four days
crossing the Beas, in consequence of the great scarcity of
boats, there being only four on the first day. The number
was, however, subsequently increased to twelve from the
ghats below, and by working day and night all got over on
the 16th, except Captain Swinley's troop of Horse Artillery,
and the 4th Irregulars. The European gunners have been
at times all day at work assisting in getting on the guns.
The force was within four marches of Kangra, and one from
the banks of the Beas. The first of these is said to be nothing,
the second " no joke," and of ten miles ; but the road, though
steep, has been made passable for anything that may be
brought up. The guns started at two in the morning,
and were not up at six P.M., which would entail
a halt on the 18th. Brigadier Wheeler cannot therefore
Lave reached Kaagra at an earlier date than the 23d. The
two 11..*t marches are up the channel of a mountain stream,
said to be well paved with large round stones. Brigadier
Smith is stated to have written to camp in most respectful
terms of the defences of Kangra, and to have expressed his
opinion that double the quantity of ammunition brought
with the guns (500 rounds) would be required. It was
believed by some in camp, that the garrison had agreed to
surrender, or at least that a portion (the Hindoostanees) had
insisted on such a measure, while the Khalsas (the
majority) refused to entertain terms. Another report is to
the effect that the garrison had offered to evacuate on the
following conditions :—" A Jagheer to the Killedar (by the
bye our native Lahore correspondent says his name is Soon-
dur Singh, not Hunsraj), two months pay to the garrison,
and all to carry out their arms." We have not heard of this
from Kangra, therefore hope it is only a report, as we should
be almost sorry to find the heroism of the defence tarnished
so miserably, that the romantic story of the "token" had lost
its value on the stock exchange of chivalry, and that the be-
sieged have indeed set a price upon their desperate resolve to
die among the ruins of their fortress,—/bid.

CHINA.
THE DISTURBANCES AT FOO-CHOW-FOO.
(From the China Mail, May 7.)
The Torrington, which arrived here on Monday about
noon, after a passage of only forty-eight hours from Foo-
chow•-foo, has brought the latest advices from that city. The
disturbances and angry feeling towards foreigners, excited by
the misconduct of the seamen from the DEedalus, as men-
tioned in our issue of the 10th April, had greatly subsided.
The Espiegle, from Amoy, had arrived in the Min, but a
vessel of her draught cannot approach within many miles of
the city, and to dispatch a boat's crew would only be to give
occasion for fresh outrages.
Immediately after the affray with the Dredalus's men the
aspect of matters seemed so alarming that the Shroffs and
Chinese servants advised the foreign residents to seek the
protection of the receiving ships ; and their houses were no
sooner evacuated than the mob commenced plundering
them. We have not heard, however, that any one suffered
personal violence, though one English merchant (he may be
called the only one at Foo-chow-foo), in effecting his escape,
fell through the roof of a house, and sustained considerable
injury.

01i receiving intelligence of the disturbed state of the city,
the receiving vessels had moved up the river as far as prac-
ticable, for the purpose of affording protection to the foreign
residents and their property; but on the urgent remon-
strances of the Chinese authorities, who Aeclared that their
presence would exasperate the mob, the Consul advised their
removal to their former anchorage, about 30 miles off.
Foreigners were absent about a fortnight, but had returned
at the time the Torrington arrived. Affairs, however, were
in such an unsettled state that the consignee deemed it ex-
pedient not to land her cargo, which was therefore brought
back to Hong-Kong. The amount of freight and of loss
thus incurred will, we suppose, form part of the claims for
compensation about to be preferred against the Chinese.
During the rioting the English Consulate was unharmed,
nor were the inmates apprehensive of danger; and there is
no foundation for the statement of a contemporary that the
Consulate required the protection of 150 native soldiers. The
only occasion on which their services were made use of
while the Torrington was at the port was, while a clerk in
the establishment had occasion to proceed in his chair with
the captain of a merchant vessel through a part of the city,
when he was accompanied with what it seems is there called
a guard, being two Chinese soldiers without arms, from
which we conclude that they were not wanted from any ap-
prehension of danger. At all events this young gentleman
seemed to have more dependence on himself; for conceiving
that a Chinaman with a stick had assumed a threatening
attitude towards him, he leaped out of his chair, seized the
offender by the tail, dragged him out of a shop, and deli-
vered him over to the authorities. Whether the occasion
demanded this, or whether such exhibitions of hardihood
and resentment are commendable, may be doubted, but in
this instance the people looked on passively, and there was
no necessity for the assistance or interference of the guard.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
CALCUTTA.
(From the Bengal Hurkaru, May 30.)

MONEY MARKET:

The market, upon the whole, has been easier the last few days.
Some remittances have been received from China on merchants'
account, and more to a considerable amount are daily expected.
Government has provided steamers to convey about 35 lacs of old
rupees from Allahabad to the presidency. Part pf this money
is said to be of a very remote period; it was received from the
Seikhs.

Government securities are dull and looking downwards, but the
depression is mainly in Sicca paper.
Exchange has rather rallied—the rate being general at 2s. 114 d. to
2s. 2d. at ten months' date, according to amount and parties.
Bank Stock is quiet; the near approach of the ensuing dividend
indisposing holders to sell at present quotations,
