• CHINA.
HONG KONG, MAY 25.
The mail steamer Aden arrived here on the night
of the 22d inst., bringing dates from England to the
10th of April.
An outward mail leaves to-clay per steamer
Norna to Galle.
Among the passengers per Aden were Major-
General Sir R. Garrett and Colonel the Hon. W.
L. Pakenham.
The great increase of support with which Lord
Palmerston will return to Parliament is, of course,
gratifying to ell parties here, and with such a ina,n
as Lord Elgin to carry out the energetic and, as far
as can be seen as yet, the wise policy of Govern
went, we look forward to a speedy and satisfactory
settlement of the present matter of dispute with the
Cantonese, and th- est anlisnment of a future inter-
conr se with Alio Chinese which will prove.equally
beneficial to Chinese as to foreigners.
Since the 10th inst., the date of our legit letter,
the occurrences here have been uuimport Int.
The dates from the Canton River are to the 23d
inst. There is little to report there. The junks e
again, we hear, appearing in large numhers, and in
Fatshan-cre?k over 100, most of them of the largest'
size; were anchored, and .batteries were erected on
..I).ere, the Chinese being apparen'ly under the
impression that an attack on Fatshen was contem-
plated by our forces. We ,hear it is the inten-
tien, as soon as the gunhoets are ready, to clear
the creeks of the numerous junks, which, being in
the vicini'y of our shops, give the Clenese oppor-
tunities of causing considerable annoyance.
The Tee-totum Fort is . now garrieoned by men
from Vie Raleigh.
We understand the tenders for raising Her
Majesty's ship Raleigh were very high—from
X 40,000 to $50,000.
It is likely she will be sold where she now lieu,
and Commodore Keppel will hoist his fi ig on board
one of the vessels in ttioliarbour, the Admiral being
desirous at the present time to have the services of
such an officer as Commodore Keppel.
There hive been lately kome noble additions to
the naval force in these waters.
Her Majesty's kt-amer Highflyer, Captain Shad-
well, arrived on the 13th of May with the gun-
boats, F. r ster, Haughty, Plover, and Opbssutn.
Two of the gunhoats were in charge of the steamer
from England ; the (eller two she fell in with at
the Cape, and one or e tiler was always towing for
a distance of say, 13,000 mites. Seven of these
small boats have now arrived here without meeting
accident.
Her Majesty's steamftigate Tribune, Captain
Edgell, arrived here from the Sandwich Isles on
the 14th inst. She sailed from Honolulu on the
20th of April. •
Her Majesty's ship Amethyst, Captain T. Gren-
fell arrived on the 231 inst. from Singe Tyre.
The steamer Hightlyer left for the Prates Sho:il
on the 14th inst.. as it was reported some Chinese
from the Anna (British owned), wrecked there on
the 10th inst., were on the shoal. They must have
got off in junks, as no one belonging to the vessel
was seen. The, steamer returned here on the 19th
inst.

A short time since the bodies of two foreigners,
lashed back to back, were seen in the water near
Macao. One hid, apparently, been beheaded. and
the other disembowelled.
Our advices from the coast do not contain any-
thing of much importance.
The accounts appears to be more satisfactory as
regards the state of the country in the interior.
At Niugpo another disturbance had taken place
between the Portuguese lorcha men and the Canton
boatmen, the latter assisted by some French sailors.
The cause of the riots is that the Portuguese en-
deavour to monopolise the convoying sy‘tein, and
thy are apparently heedless of their consular autho-
rity.
Our Foochow advices are to the 19th init. Less
uneasiness was felt about the rebels, and fresh
efforts were being made to send money into the
country for investment in tea ; six small chops new
.ongous have arrived from neighbouring districts,
the quality not equal to No. 1 Krshows, and after
considerable competition sold for 33A tads to 36i
tads. Shipped off similar teas last year were bought
at 23 tads to 26 taels. One vessel, the Queen of
Mar, had been despatched to England, and three
were on the berth.
Her Majesty's steamer Sampson, and brig Camilla
were at Foochow. •
Amoy letters are to the 20th inst. Disturbances
in the neighbourhood had interfered with trade,
but at the last less uneasiness was felt.
At Hongkong all remains quiet. We have to
mention the stoppage of payments by the American
firm, Messrs. King and Co. Their liabilities are
said to be under $150,000, mostly due to Chinese.
His Excellency Sir John Bowring has intimated
that he has been informed by Lord Clarendon that
compensation for losses lately sustained by British
subjects will be demanded from the Chinese Go-
vernment.
In trade here we have few transactions to report.
A few parcels of tea and silk have been bought at
Macao at extreme prices.
