IMPORT OF CORN.—On the 25th, dock dues were paid on
40 vessels arriving at Hull, being, we are inform «i

laden with grain.—Eastern Counties Herald.

The Great Western sailed this (Wednesday) morning,

ever had ; of these there are not less than 45 ladies. G. C
Cambreling, the United States ambassador, at the court o
Russia, is among the passengers. She likewise takes ou

goods, principally silks, worsted and cottons, and was obliged

SHOCKING A CCIDENT.—On Tuesday evening, a boy named
George Wright, the son of a milkman in Earl-street, Borough-

a moderate pace. He seated himself on one of the springs,
and shortly afterwards his blouse became entangled in the
spokes of one of the hind wheels, between which and the

body of the cab his head was drawn. The loud screams of
females who were passing and witnessed the perilous situation
of the boy, arrested the attention of the driver, who imme-

TE.I4I4IO.ENCI

A, INDIA, AND EGYP7

(From the Times of Saturday.)

By our ordinary monthly express from Marseilles, in
anticipation of the overland mail from India, we have received
letters from our correspondents in China, India, and the
shores of the Mediterranean, as well as files of all the news-
papers published in the British possessions throughout the
East.

Our latest dates are-.—frGm Canton May 19, Macao May 20,
Calcutta July 5, Bombay 19, Alexandria August 20, and Malta
August 26. -

The news from China, which comes down to the 20th of
May, is the great matter of interest which we have received
by this mail. The accounts from Canton describe the Chinese
mandarins as most decidedly hostile to the British, and states
that the truce allowed to Captain Elliot, during which a large
export of tea had been effected, had in reality no other object
than to enable them to take measures for expelling the bar-
barians. The Emperor continues to fulminate proclamations,
not only against the invaders of his country, but also against
such of the mandarins and officers as he conceives do not do
their duty most efficiently. A large army was collecting in
the neighbourhood of Canton, which city was, notwithstand-
ing its great trade, deserted by great numbers of the in-
habitants, who appear to dread their own soldiery as much as
they do the foreigners.'
Captain Elliot, whose great object appears hitherto to have
been to secure the annual-export of tea, was still temporizing
with the Chinese authorities, and had succeeded in having
11,000,0001 b, shipped before the 18th of May ; and there
were hopes that an equal or greater quantity would be on
board before the end of that month. Hong Kong was again
occupied by the British, and the Chief Commissioner busied
himself during some time in laying out plans for a city ; but
on the 18th of May, at the time when it was said he and
several ships were about to proceed anew to Pechelee, and
there to demo nd a settlement from the very Court of Pekin,
he went in the Nemesis steamer up the Canton river, as if
apprehensions were entertained of an attack by the Chinese
on the foreign factories, or on the Algerien and Modeste,
. stationed near them t is therefore feared that ere this a
conflict has occured, in which the city of Canton may have
been subjected to a conflagration, in order to give the Chinese
a lasting exanple.
The Emperor, it is said, was so indignant at the capture of
the forts of the Bocca Tigris by the British forces, that he
had ordered Keshen, the late imperial commissioner, to be
put to death, and had even extended his vengeance to the
relatives and followers of the unfortunate negotiator. Ke-
shen's sole crime seems to have been his implicit obedience
to the orders of his superiors, but as their execution had
been unsuccessful, the misfortune of course was visited upon
his head. Lin, of whom we have not lately heard much, is
said to have been the chief instrument in the fall of Keshen,
whom he hoped to succeed in command of the Chinese
army.

In the mean time the preparations for carrying on the war-
fare with the Chinese continue in India. The new plenipo-
tentiary, Sir Henry Pottinger, and the Admiral, Sir, Wm.
Parker, arrived at Bombay on the morning of the 7th July,
and set out for their ultimate destination on the 17th, in the
steam frigate Sesostris. The admiral examined the arsenal
and dockyard of Bombay in order to know their capabilities,
for, as he said, " the Chinese dispute may be settled in a
few months, or it may last for years." _ _

It is understood that the policy to be pursued by Sir
Henry Pottinger, the new Plenipotentiary, and Admiral Sir
W. Parker. the commandant of the forces, is, as nearly as
possible, the reverse of that which has been hitherto acted
upon, and with such signal ill success. A strict blockade of
the whole of the southern and western coast is immediately
to be put in force; the mouth of the great river is to be
effectually guarded, and the utmost care is to taken to avoid
unnecessarily irritating the natives, who, from the first, have
appeared to be favourably disposed. The island of Amoy, of
which a very promising description is given, will, it is said,
be occupied, as soon as the dispositions for the blockade are
completed ; and from its position, deeply embayed in the
mainland, and nearly opposite to the island of Formosa, it
is expected that it will be an excellent exchange for the pes-
tilential Chusan.
The monsoon, which has been attended with an unusual
fall, continued to pardlyse all movements on this (Bombay)
side of India. The Bninbay army west of the Indus has
suffered much from sictness, particularly at Kotra.
The news from the Persian Gulf is, that the Vizier of Shah
Kamran had made terms with Persia, and that he had given
up Ghorian, the key for the entrance f the northern invaders
into India, to the Persian Monarch, and that he had con-
sented to make himself a vassal of Persia and of the Czar,
rather than of Shah Soajah and England. This is calculated
to excite alarm, but the campaigns of the last two years have
already smoothed much of the difficulties on this point. It
is highly probable that an expedition will be soon despatched
against the Shah of Herat, who will be soon obliged to yield
homage to his liege the Monarch of Affghanistan. The oc-
cupation of the great passes by the British will then settle
the question, and contribute much to the stability of Shah
Soojah's dynasty, while it will neutralize the plots of the
Russian Cabinet at the Court of Teheran.

A brilliant affair bad taken place between Colonel Wymer,
of the Bengal Army, and a portion of the Affghan tribe of
Ghilzies, who are disaffected towards the actual King of
Affghanistan.

From the Punjaub the intelligence is that Shere Singh has
succeeded in bringing his troops into some order, and that
comparative tranquility prevailed. There was a report that
Earl Auckland had demanded 10,000 men as a reinforcement
from the Siekh Chieftan, but it requires confirmation.
The disturbance at Berdamee having been quelled by its
capture, the soldiers engaged in the attack on that fort have
obtained booty to the amount, as it is stated, of £lO,OOO.
Her_ majesty's ship Endymion, which, in consequence of

. .
some damage done to her keel by a coral rock in the Red
Sea, had gone to Bombay for repairs, had not as yet been
able to get into dock. Several merchant ships have been
lost by fire. Their names are—the Mauritius, the David
Scott, and the American Republic ; and the Arab brig Regia,
off Ceylon. The captain and a part of the crew of the whaler
Risk, lost on the 2d of February last, have arrived at Ceylon.
Much curiosity has been excited at the Criminal Sessions
here by the trial for murder of the captain of a Scotch mer-
chant ship, which left Greenock last November. There was
on board a half-witted Irish sailor, named Carey, upon whom
the most unheard-of outrages were perpetrated ; he died from
ill-treatment. The jury found the captain guilty of the as-
sail-its, and he has been sentenced to two years' imprison-
ment with hard labour in the House of Correction.
