CHINA AND INDIA.

The intelligence from China and Affghanistan,
brought by the Overland Mail, is highly satisFac-
tory, and affords another proof that not the
slightest dependence can be placed on telegraphic
dispatches from Marseilles to Paris. They gene-
rally convey all the unfavourable news from the
East, and something more, and omit whatever
is creditable or favourable to this country. The
telegraphic dispatch, for instance, which reached
the French capital on Friday, stated
that the Emperor of CHINA had refused
to sign the treaty till the Queen of
ENGLAND had put her sign-nianual to: the deed,
and also that only one-half of .the first instal-
ment had been paid. There are no direct corn..
munications from Sir HENRY POTTINGER on
these points, bUt we find the following in a Cey-
lon journal of the .sth of October:---" The steamer
Auckland is just in from Hong-Kong the 27th
ultimo. She brings the ratification of the treaty
by the Emperor of CHINA. Major IVIALcoLm,
Secretary of Legation, is on board, in charge of
dispatches to the Home Government.
"The intelligence by the Auckland is, that the.
EMPEROR'S written assent had been given to the
treaty, with a trifling alteration in details.
_

. ,
" The first and second instalments had been
paid ; and money appeared to be plentiful, from
the ready manner in which the Chinese had

come forward with the cash."

AS regards the instalment there is no occasion
for anxiety, as the force before Nankin is so
strong,- and the, Chine-se have been so com-
yletely humbled, that they have no other
resource but to pay the money. The other point,
however, is of more consequence, and we are,
therefore, glad to state that no doubt whatever
remains as to the complete ratification of the
treaty. The following announcement of the
Governor-General of India sets that question at
rest:—

Secret Department, Bombay Castle, Oct. 31.
In continuation of the 'notification of this Govern-
ment, dated the 12th instant, the Hon. the Governor
in Council is pleased to re-publish for general infor-
mation the following General Orders by the Right
Hon. the Governor-General! of India, dated Simla,
the i4th,
The Hon. the Governor in Council is further pleased
to announce, for general information, that the ratifica-
tion of the treaty by the Emperor of China was re-
ceived by her Majesty's Plenipotentiary, and for-
warded from Nankin to England on the 16th of Sep-
tember, by the Hon. Company's steam-frigate Auck-
land.

By order of the lion. the Governor in Council,
J. P. WILLOUGHBY,
Secretary to the Government.

We have published, at great length, the dis-

patches from India, which will be found of much
interest. There is only one drawback on the gra-
tifying intelligence—the very general diseon-
tent' with. the conduct of Lord ELLENBOROUGH.

Nearly-all the Indian papers condemn his porn-
pod's and unfeeling proclamation respecting the
evie4atiOn of Affgha.nistan. We term it unfeel-
ingo ,because it contains not the slightest al-
lusion to a subject which, above all,
otherse occupied the minds of Englishmen, and
also Englishwomen—the release of the prisoners.
An admirer or his Lordship in this country has
addreSsed a letter to a Contemporary, and en-
deavours to excuse the omission on the ground
that at the ate of the manifesto the return of
the prisoners to Caubul was not known at Simla.
This•only.makes the case ten times worse, and
fully confirms the worst suspicions respecting
the memo able order which General POLLOCK ,
reftised to obey. It leaves no doubt that the
release of the " heroic woman" and the other
captives formed the least consideration in his
Lordship's mind. The army was positively
ordered to retreat; no proviso was made respect-
ing the victims of AKBAR KILAN; and as far as
canbejudged from the public document, they were
to be left to their fate. Out of mercy to the Gal-
lant
Governor-General we are willin7 to believe
that he hid sent private instructions to Sir GEORGE
POLLOCK ; but that could be- no excuse
fur omitting all reference to the subject in the
proclamation: That is not the only proclamationi.
however, which will attract the notice of the
British public. Three other proclamations have
been published since (indeed his Lordship seems
to think. of nothing else), one respecting China,
in whi!.l4 he takes care to praise hiniself arid the
Gevernniont, 'another conferring, distinctions on
the army of the Indus, and a third to the
several chaplains in the upper provinces
to offer up prayers of thanksgiving for
successes which his Lordship did all in his power
to mar. If Sir ROBERT PEEL do not speedily
remove this incapable and pompous functionary,
he must be answerable for the consequences, and
bear the blame of bringing contempt on the Eng-
lish name.

It is stated in the Montreal Courier of No-
vember 7, that " Lower Canada does not raise
sufficient food for its own consumption.'' Con-
firming this view, we find the Special Committee
of the Legislative Assembly, to which we re-
ferred on Saturday, stating that "all the grain
grown in Canada will not supply the consump-
tion of British North America, and, if it were
all shipped, to England, and the population. of
our commercial towns were supplied from the
United States, the qsantity of our own so ex-
ported would be very limited for many years to
Come." Acting on the same view, the Act for
levying 4 duty on American corn allows foreign.,
wheat imported by sea into Canada, for the use •
of the fisheries,' to come in free of duty. It is
perfectly clear, therefore, that England cannot
get a grain of corn from Canada, except it be
grown in the United States, or except a full
equivalent of corn be imported into, and con-
sinned in Canada ter every quarter of Canadian
corn exported to England. The Ministers must
mean, therefore, by their proposition to admit
corn from Canada duty free to encourage the
Importation of corn grown in the United States,
but to force the trade through Canada. The 3s.
duty, the greater expense of carriage than if it
came direct from the United States, will be
partly labour thrown away, and partly a tax
levied on the consumers of England, for the ex-
clusive advantage of persons whom Tories. a short
time, back were wont to call the Canadian rebels.
The Montreal Courier adds, " it is impossible
to guard the frontier at all points." The Minis-
terial scl:etne, therefore, of forcing, a corn trade
through Canada will be attended with all the
alines that generally accompany smuggling on
a large scale. It will undoubtedly admit Atne-
rican corn, but by a roundabout way, and at a
great expense, waste of labour, and increased
crime. By what right does any Minister, or any
Legislature, for the gratification- of such puerile
caprice as to force a trade in a particular direc-
tion, dare to cause so much mischief?
Another important consideration is, that the
ports of New York and New Orleans are open
ali.the year:round. _We can obtain bread stuffs,
Siam them, if 'necessary, in winter as well as
summer. The ports of Canada are closed for se-
veral months of the year, and the A:Mei-lean pro-
duce, which, by Lord STANLEY'S scheme, is to be
