LATEST FROM CHINA. . . (From the Deuonport Independant of Saturday.)
By the last Overland Mail we have received intelli-
gence from Hong-Kong, to the Ist of August. The
Vixen, steam-frigate, arrived there on the 25th of .lu:y,
with orders for the Minden's paying off. Having had
the offer, forty-two of the crew volunteered to remain in
the different ships of the squadron under Sir Thomas
Cochrane. Captain Quin, First Lieutenant Mellersh,
and Mr. Cook, Paymaster and Purser, of the Minden,
aoe left to pay off the ship, and will return to England in
a merchantman ; the other Lieutenants, Dorville, Lowe,
and Hancock, are to come home in the Wolverine awl
Harlequin, The Spiteful, steam-frigate, is ordered to
Bombay- to repair, having been much damaged ; she
takes a million and a half of dollars to Singapore, to bb
sent to England in the Harlequin ; another million ut.;
to be sent home by the Pelican. The Fox, 44, Captain
Sir Henry Blackwood, Bart., was expected at Hong •
Kong. Lieutenant Dallas, of the 98th Regiment, had
(lied of fever ; this regiment had lost 210 men, and tine
4th Native Infantry, 217. Sickness was rery prevalent,
and deaths numerous ; the 98th had 140 sick at Chick-
chew, at the back of Hong-Kong. The Minden remains
in charge of a master, one master's assistant, the hos-
pital staff, and twenty-six men ; the chaplain, the Rev.
Josiah Thompson, also remains. A Court of Inquiry
has been held on two midshipmen of the Castor, the Hem,
Mr. Erskine and Mr. Gray, for contempt and disobe-
dience of orders. Mr. Gray has been dismissed the ser-
vice, and Mr. Erskine loses one year's rank.

marked (*) have arrived ships—*Abram 2 fish,
30 tuns ; *Bon Accord, 21 fish, 145 tuns ; Prince of

biting an increase of 53 fish, The following are the
degrees in which the respective ports have benefited in

23 ships which went to the fishery, 5 have returned, and
the other 18 we hope will shortly return with their
crews to enjoy the fruit of their toils.-11 eu•eastle
Advertiser.
The commercial part of the public has often been
made to suffer by the freedom with which noblemen and
gentlemen have sometimes permitted their names to be
used by speculators engaged in the business of " getting
up" a company. A judment delivered by Lord Denman
on the last day of the term that has just concluded, de-
serves to be made extensively known as a warning to
those individuals of station and character who have heed-
h•ssly afforded facilities for the carrying out of dishonest
purposes. Several months ago, the attention of the public
was directed, through the police reports, to a scheme of
emigration, with which the name of a noble Duke had
ban connected, as president. Ilis Grace, on finding that
the concern alluded to was not quite so worthy of, his
patronage as he had been led to believe, very naturally
sought to repudiate all connexion with it; but he was soon
made to feel the inconvenience of having gone so far as to
give it his nominal sanction, for actions were brought
against him by certain creditors of the company alluded
to. The su'ts in question wire instituted in different
Courts, one having been tried in the Common Pleas,
and another in the Queen's Beach, and certain points
affecting the consideration of the Duke's liability having
been left to the jury in each case, a verdict was given
against him in one instance, while in the other, from
seine difference in the details, the result was in his
Grace's favour. Now there can be no doubt that the
noble defendant was not, in either of these cases, the
party requiring the goads that had been supplied, but
in one of the two instances he was found by a jury to be
the individual on whose implied responsibility credit
had been given. An attempt was subsequently made on
behalf of the Duke to obtain a rule and a new trial, but
the Court of Queen's Bench decided that the question
of liability had been properly left to the jury. The
verdict consequently stands good, and will, we trust,
furnish a lesson to others who might be liable to fall
into the error of which the defendant alluded to has
become the victim. Swindlers would find
:great diffi-
culty in carrying out their plans if respectable persona
were not sometimes ready inadvertently-to aid them.—

THE LATE FORGERY UPON THE BANK Or ENG-
LAND.—On Friday from an early hour many persona
connected with the Bank of England and other commer-
cial firms were in attendance at the Euston•square sta-
ti,m of the London and Birmingham Railway, in the ex-
pectation of obtaining a sight of Burgess, who had been
captured by John Forrester in America, and who, it was
understood, would be brought up by one of the trains
from Liverpool, he and the active officer in charge of
him having, as it was imagined, on the previous day
arrived at that port by the Hibernia. Expectation was
at the utmost pitch for many hours, and after several
trains had arrived in the course of th• day without
bringing the persons expected, a great number of those
ho had assembled quitted the station, thinking that the
rumour with regard to the arrival of the said persons in
this country had no foundation in fact. Forrester and
his prisoner, however, arrived by the train at half-past tan
o'clock.

MR. MACREADY.—We regret exceedingly to state
that this eminent actor has met with an accident which

Monday night by the Dover Railway, and had been in
the afternomn to the St. Katharine-docks, for the pur-
Fose of superintending the examination of his baggage
and effects, which had arrived there by the ship Quebec,
from New York. It was dark when he arrived at his re-
sidence in Regent's Park, and his boxes, which had ar-
rived there before him, had, owing to the negligence of
the servants or from some other cause, been left in the
lin.ll. Mr. Macready did not at first perceive them, and,
falling over them, injured the cap of his knee so much as
to be obliged to retire to bed, where he has, we are
sorry to say, remained ever sine%
