The English mail could not enter Calais harbour
on Wednesday last at twelve o'clock, and the sea and
wind rendering it impossible for any boat to put off for
the mails, the Captain started for our harbour, where he
arrived at a quarter to two, and then found sufficient
water to enable him to enter. So much for the value of
the two harbours—Boulogne Gazette.

CHINESE POLICE.—So summaryis the mode in
which the object of the police is effected in Canton, that
it is no light matter to be once in their hands. The
Chinese emphatically express their sense of this unfor-
tunate condition by the popular phrase, " The meat is
on the chopping block." Not unfrecillentlY, in minor
cases, a man receives the punishment, and again goes
tree, the same hour in which he Commits the crime.
The forms of trial are simple. There is no Jury,
no pleading. The criminal kneels before the Ma-
gistrate, who hears the witnesses, and passes sen-
tence ; he is then remanded to prison, or sent to the
place of execution. Seldom is he acquitted. When
witnesses are wanting, he is sometimes tortured until he
gives in evidence against himself. There are four gaols
in Canton, which together cantain several hundred pri-
soners. The gaol is commonly called to-go, hell, or lite-
rally " earth's prison." All capital offenders suffer
near the river. Hundreds
without the southern gates,
