CHINA.
(From the Bombay Times.)
clowThe accounts from China received here since our last come
nto Sept. 30. Trade at Canton had suffered very consi-
ernble interruption in consequence of a misunderstanding ex-
isting between. the Government and the Hong merchants, the
former exacting from the Hongs 5,000,000 dollars, said to be
due as a balance of the ransom of Canton. The Hong mer-
e'aants have, to the date of our advices, obstinately refused to
Pay this sum, on the plea that the Comm° fund is exhausted,
Pay, their monopoly being at an end, they have no money
wherewithal to pay. The Government, it is said, still persists
in the demand, and the Hongs have very properly declined
doing business until the matter is settled. " Should the Go-
vernment enforce its claims," says the Canton Press, ~ they.
trlaAbe ruined at any moment, and such goods as may
tile be in

a favourable tendency towards a speedy settlement of
1 differences. Howqua is said to have died, leaving
114°0 dollars. The linguists' fees have also been the
cause of
wand Thueh annoyance and interruption of trade ; their de-
-14,,,171 seem to he exorbitant, and the foreign merchants ac-
7,nglY refuse to pay them. The latter have, in some ill-
-11--gccs, been sufferers to a great extent, in having sold cargoes
a ,
::1,-; arrangements respecting the delivery of them on a cer-
ti'`LaY, and failing to do so, the buyers refuse to receive them.
"cCanton authorities are represented as encouraging the
linguists in their unreasonable demands. A letter dated
111se. 4,.
--°' °qt. 25, says, respecting the working of the new
tYstem, that matters are becoming daily more unsatisfactory,
°wing Partly to the mismanagement of the Consular establish-
ment, arid partly to the grasping avarice of the provincial au-
thorities—the first, by injudiciously introducing a number of
petty regulations, equally inconsistent with their own duty and
Chinese custom ; the second, by extortions, which have driven
the es-Rong merchants, the only men who have suitable
warehouses and competent establishments, to close their doors,
and refuse to transact business until freed from burdens which
they have no longer the means of meeting. In consequence of
dithis state of things, it is with the utmost difficulty ships are
scharged, and the trade generally is quite paralysed. A
sinp-
iertlentary treaty was to have been signed in the first wee.. uof
October, by Sir Henry Pettinger and Keying; their
Excellencies were to meet at the Bogue for that pea-pose.
1.114 most important item of this treaty is a clause introduced
°Y Keyin guaranteeing te all other n.ations the sr.utte privi-
lege, of trade and intercourse as grantea to the English.
The Canton Press, of the 30th of September, reports a
riot at lqacao, which was of such a serious nature, that the
soldiery I:l4iberl had been called upon to fire. tour Chinese and
