SHANG-HAE.

The Yang-tse-Kiang, or Great River of China, has its
spacious estuary divided into two broad channels, by the
island of Tsui4,--ming. The Shang-hae channel forms the
southern mouth of the great river, and the city of Shang-hae
is on the W. bank of the Woo-sung river, near its mouth.
It is situated in lat. 31.10 N., long. 121 E., and is distant
not more than 25 miles E. in a straight line from the Grand
Canal, about 18 miles N.E. of Song-Kiang, and about

miles from Nanking by the river navigation. . This city is in
the fertile province of Kiang-nan. A recent letter from
China thus describes the importance of this, the most north-
erly of the newly-opened ports -of China:—lt is the most
important commercial mart next to Canton. Besides its
external' commerce, including the Japan trade, it has the
largest coasting traffic of any port, and more tonnage enters
its river than that of Canton. The city is nearly as large as
Canton. Its imports are English manufactures, especially
woollens. Its exports are teas, raw and manufactured silks,
sugar. &c. According to one of the accounts of Lord Ma-
cartney's embassy, it would appear to have once been a place
of considerable manufactures ; for even at that time, it is
stated, " In this town and the villages dependant on it, are
more than 200,000 weavers of cotton cloth." As more re-
cent accounts are silent on this head, we presume the cotton
manufacture of Shang-hae has almost wholly disappeared.
On the adjoining seacoast are the salt-pits which supply
nearly the whole empire. Song-Kiang (18 miles off) for-
merly carried on a very extensive trade in cotton cloths, and
had four cities under its jurisdiction. Shang-hae was visited
by Mr. Gutzlaff in 1831, and is described by him as the most
considerable trading place of any on the coast. His, in fact,
the nearest port to Sou-tchaw, famous as the seat of the
manufacture of both silk fabrics and japanned goods. It is
not more than 120 miles distant, in a straight line, from
Hang-tchou, the city where the grand canal has its southern
terminus, and which is also the great depot for silk and silk
weaving. This city, it will be recollected, was taken by our
naval force on the 19th June last; and its capture, followed
by the advance of the forces to Nankin, doubtless contri-
buted in no small degree to procure the negotiation which
resultedin the treaty which opens Shang-hae and the other
ports named to our commerce. With respect to the two
most northerly of the five ports, Davis, in-his " Chinese,"
says, " It seems to have been lately ascertained, that the
entrance of the river of Shang-hae, in Keang-nan province,
lat. 31.10, is available to small vessels ; and it can scarcely
be doubted that the Foo-chou-foo, in Fokien, and the above-
mentioned port of Shang.hae, would be by far the most eli-
gible points for the establishment of /the British trade, in
regard to both imports and exports." When we add that
Kiang-nan ranks as the second province of the empire ; that
it is the first in point of fertility and natural riches, its wealth
being such that it pays an annual tax to the emperor of 32
millions of taels ; and that the whole country is intersected
by lakes, rivers, and canals, and is celebrated both for its
trade and manufactures ; it will be seen that the privileges
of a good open port in this province are not easily overrated.

A CHINESE AMBASSADOR TO ENGLAND.—There is an
important announcement in the supplement to the Canton
Gazette, that an officer of high rank from the court of Pekin
is immediately to set out to represent his sovereign at the
court of St. James's. The presence of the Chinese ambas-
sador, at the first drawing-room next season, would, indeed,
create a sensation. Morning Chronicle.

ARRIVAL OF CHINESE GUNS AT THE TOWER.—On Mon-
day afternoon, five brass cannon, captured by the British
during the Chinese war, happily just terminated, arrived in a
barge from the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich, and were landed
on the Tower-wharf. Four of the guns are of large calibre,
one of them being a 48-pounder. and the bore about 20 inches.
All of them are splendid specimens of workmanship, and do
not appear to have seen much service.

The treaty of peace with China will leave disposable a large
land and sea force. A private letter from Bombay mentions
that Sir Henry Pottinger had proposed to take advantage of
those means, and to proceed to Japan and demand satisfaction
for the long-continued insults we have endured from the
Emperor, and to require admission for our ships to those
islands on terms of mutual mercantile advantage. We can-
not say ,how far our correspondent's information may prove
correct, but we have heard that this is not the first time the
matter has been proposed to Government. The cruelties
exercised against the crews of vessels wrecked on these islands
demand that some steps should be taken ; and no more
favourable opportunity has been afforded than the presence
of our ships and troops in China, from which they can easily
be directed upon Jeddo, and other ports of Japan.—Naval
and Military Gazette. •

There are no mail-packets from this country to China, and
letters used to be sent by the private ships that occasionally
sailed for that country. During, the Chinese war, correspon-
dence for China, if directed via Falmouth, has been sent out
with the India mails, and transmitted to its destination along
with the Government despatches, by ships of war running to
and from Hong-Kong and Bombay. It is to be hoped that
before the Government vessels leave the China station, a
regular steam conveyance for letters will be established be-
tween this country and the consular ports along the Chinese
territory, 'via' Egypt And India. Indeed, such an arrange-
ment will be indispensable, in consequence of the vast inter-
course that will immediately take place between Europe and
the Celestial Empire. One shilling a letter has been charged
on letters for China via Falmouth, being the same postage as
on letters for India.

MURDER OF MR. SCULLY.—On Monday morning letters
reached town bringing the account of the murder of Mr.
Scully, of Kilfeacle, in the county of Tipperary, which event
occured on Saturday evening. The unfortunate victim of the
assassin's aim was returning to his residence after enjoying a
day's sporting in the neighbourhood, when he was waylaid
and shot within a few yards of his own door. lie survived
the discharge of the deadly weapon only fifteen minutes.
This gentleman, now the victim of the blood-thirsty and
lawless system that still prevades that wretched country, had
a similar attempt made upon his life some time since, in which
the miscreants failed. The " wild justice of revenge," how-
ever, does not easily forego its claims upon human life, and
in this instance its decree, though slow, has proved sure.—
Dublin paper. .

" THE FATE OF AN ENGLISH TRADESMEN.--A deplorable
instance of the death of a formerly wealthy and respectable
tradesman of Ludlow, from starvation or some cause nearly
akin, took place in that town on Monday, and has called forth
the deepest sympathy of the inhabitants. Mr. Edward Phil-
lips, glover, Broad-street, Ludlow, has for many years been
remarked as one of the earliest risers in that cheerful town.
Before the glove trade left Ludlow, he was also a man of sub-
stance, and filled various public situations creditably. The
decay of trade, however, gradually wore away his means ;
and although he used every method to conceal his want, it
was manifest he was in distress • but no idea of the extent of
that distress was entertained, till the fatal discovery on Mon-
nay. His shop not being open at a late hour in the morning
the neighbours became alarmed, and,. having procured a ma-
gistrate's sanction, burst open the door, when the poor man
was found senseless and naked on the floor of his bed-room
apparently in a fit, from which he never recovered ; and as
neither firing nor food was in the house, nor the means left
him of procuring either, the cause of his death could not be
misunderstood, although a merciful providence had mitigated
its horrors by throwing him into unconsciousness.—Shrews-
bury Chronicle.

EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDES IN ONE FAMILY. —On
Tuesday a most singular attempt at suicide was made by a
man of the name of Dobell, a leather-dresser, residing in
Elim-street, Long-lane, Bermondsey. What attaches par-
ticular interest to the attempt at self-destruction, arises from
the fact that about a year ago a brother of this individual, a
respectable butcher in Berniondsey-street, drunk a large
quantity of arsenic, and taking an opportunity to go up-stairs
as if to clean himself, nearly separated his head from the
trunk with a large knife. Hardly two months elapsed after
the inquest when another brother, a leather-cutter, living in
Crosby-row, Long-lane, was found in a dying state in bed,
having swallowed an immense quantity of arsenic. He was
taken to Guy's Hospital, but did not live long after his arrival
there. It appears that in the case on Tuesday, Mrs. Dobell
had gone out on some trifling errand, and upon her return
home found her husband in dreadful agony, and nearly in-
sensible. Mr. Wagstaff, the surgeon, of Long-lane, was
called in, and ascertained that Dobell had also taken a large
dose of arsenic, and that his life was in imminent danger.
Having applied the usual remedies, he was afterwards taken
to the workhouse, where Mr. Paul has been unremitting in
his exertions. Dobell was so exhausted as to be unable to
speak, and therefore to explain what could have induced the
attempt on his life. Mr. Paul entertains some hopes of his
recovery, but at present his case is one of great danger. It
is feared that great distress, arising from depression of trade,
may have been the cause of the attempted suicide ; but he
could not be in actual want, as on the 9th of November, the
parish advanced him a loan of £1 10s.
DESPERATE AFFRAY WITH POACHERS.—Friday morn-
ing last, about two o'clock, a most desperate conflict took
place between the keepers and assistants of Mr. Peter Ark-
wright (nine in number) and 11 armed poachers. It appears
that the keepers had some suspicion, and proceeded with two
large dogs to Littlemoor Wood, about a mile from Matlock,
where they met with 11 poachers armed with guns, which
they instantly presented at the keepers, who immediately let
go the dogs and fell in with them. Here the battle raged
most furiously for some time; three or four shots were fired
by the poachers (as they say only to kill the dogs,) and,
wonderful to relate, missed all the men, one dog only being
killed. Not having time to reload, they fell upon the
keepers with the butt ends of their guns, four of which were
broken entirely to pieces. The encounter now began to be
in favour of the keepers, every man on both sides being more
or less injured. The poachers, at length gave up the con-
test, with the loss of four prisoners, one of whom was much
worried by the dogs, as well as being otherwise injured.
They were all taken to the Greyhound Inn, Cromford, and a
surgeon sent for, when it was ascertained they were not so
much hurt as was at first anticipated. Three of the poachers,
John Travis, Edward Travis, and Samuel Smith, were sent
off to Derby county gaol, for trial at the next assizes, and the
fourth, named Robinson, formerly a most respectable man,
is on bail. Mr. Harrison, the head-keeper, has five guns in
his possession taken from the poachers, four of which are
broken to pieces. On examining the ground where the en-
gagement took place, five hats were found, which the
poachers left behind in their hasty retreat.—Derby Re-
porter.

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

"A Lover of the Church" will, on referring to the
STAN mut]) of Tuesday, find that his intelligence has been
anticipated.
" A Constant Reader" calls upon " the leading gentlemen
in the mercantile establishments of this town to set aside
the 26th instant as a general hoilday.
We purposed at first to publish the principal facts furnished
to us by " A Churchman," but on reconsideration we for-
bear at present. Perhaps our correspondent will favour
us with another interview before Tuesday, when we can
enter into more particulars.
We have not been able to obtain the information desired by
" A Constant Subscriber."
We could not find room to-day for the letter of " A British
Merchant."
We have received from Mr. John Rhodes, of 21, Stanhope-
street, one guinea, as a donation to the Collegiate Insti-
tution.
The gratifying communication from our Southport corre-
spondent has been handed to a gentleman, who is
interesting himself in the matter to which he refers.

FRIDAY MORNING, DEDEMBER 2, 1842.

Rumours have been afloat for some days past,
touching an intended proposal, on the part, too, of
some of our conservative town councillors, with refer-
ence to the system adopted in the Corporation Schools,
whereby the whole question, with all its heartburnings
and bitterness of spirit, must needs be opened afresh.
We confess, we give little credit to the rumour, and
our present remarks are elicited more by the enormity
of such a proceeding in itself, than by any reliance we
place on the credibility of the report. The immediate
result of the movement spoken of, must prove as fatal
to the party attempting it, (for success is out of the
question), as it would be prejudicial to the momentous
interests involved.

The next meeting of the Council is looked for with
intense interest. Should the hopes of our enemies
be unfortunately realised, and the modification spoken
of be suggested, it will be our painful duty to meet
and grapple with it in detail; for the present it will
suffice to glance briefly at the outline of the contem-
plated change. As the report has reached us, the'
object in view is to admit the children of Romish
parents to the benefits of an education purely secular,
throwing religious instruction overboard altogether,
and not requiring of them to read the Bible either in
the authorised or the Douay version. Against this or
any similar proposal, wholly irrespective of details,
(and details are also hinted at, on which the radical
party, in and out of the Council, and their conservative
supporters, are not likely to agree), we enter at once a
strenuous and uncompromising protest. Our duty to
God, towards our neighbours and ourselves, demands
this protest at our hands. We must magnify God's
Holy Word ourselves, and teach it diligently to our
own children. And this forbids us, for ever, to be
consenting parties to the exclusion of any other child,
or adult, from the hopes and blessings with which that
Word abounds. 'Tis not that we grudge to the
Roman Catholic child (as we be slanderously reported,
and as some affirm that we do) the utmost benefits of
a secular education—but, in order to that, we cannot
become partakers of the sin of his priest, by consent-
ing to the barter of the child's birthright for a mess of
pottage. The hardship to which the child is exposed
is not fairly chargeable upon us, who are eager to give
him both scriptural and secular instruction, but lies
entirely at the door of the priest, who compels his
victim to refuse both, because he fears and hates the
Word of God. And they do not affect to conceal that
their hostility is, to the free use of the Holy Scriptures,
even in their own Douay version of them, without note
or comment. This is the avowed cause of the absence
of such Romish children as have been withdrawn from
the schools. "Fis not that we have turned them out,
but that the priests would not allow them to come in.
It does not suit, however, the Radical and Revolu-
tionist to view the matter in this light, nor do we
expect such candour from them ; but it is truly painful
to find men, from whom better things might have been
expected, led away by the hollow whine of mawkish
sympathy, with which the alleged hardships of Romish
children are commiserated by the selfish, the design-
ing, and the indifferent. To concede this point, is to
give up the whole matter, for it underlies the entire
question ; and to moot it, is to disturb again what was
regarded as settled and sealed finally and irrefragably,
in Liverpool, certainly, if not throughout the entire of
England. The question of National Education has, of
late years, occupied much of the public mind ; it has
been fully canvassed, and, in consequence, the con-
clusions arrived at are more valuable, because more
certain and approved. These conclusions are briefly
enunciated. First, Education, to be safe to the
community and useful to the individual, must
be Scriptural. And public opinion has advanced
a good way towards affirming, in the next place,
that, to be certainly Scriptural, National Educa-
tion, is best administered on the principles of the
national church. These principles have been boldly
proclaimed and proved to demonstration in this town,
at the commencement of this struggle, now more than
six years ago, at the memorahie meeting in the Amphi-
theatre, of July 13, 1836. The report now lies before
us of the proceedings of that meeting. The speeches
of both the respected Rectors of Liverpool are samples
of bold and manly eloquence; that of the Rev. Hugh
M'Neile, for convincing argument and persuasive
power, is still unsurpassed, and has never been an-
swered. Messrs. Hodgson, Horsfall, Sands, Samuel
Holme, &c., &c., spoke in the same strain; and three
thousand pounds were collected. The enthusiasm is
still unforgotten with which these sentiments in favour
of sound principle, and in support of scriptural truth,
were caught up by the host of surrounding clergy and
gentry on the platform, and applauded to the very echo
by the vast concourse assembled in the house. This
same feeling, majestic in the conscious rectitude of its
purpose, is not dead, nor even asleep, in the right-
minded inhabitants of Liverpool; but is ready, in a
moment, to arise in vigour as before, should the occa-
sion unfortunately recur to require its manifestation.
But we deprecate the trial, even while we have no
fear for the result, save unto those, whose infatuation
may prdoke the contest.

November will come again, and the lessons of West
Derby and Great George's Wards can be repeated on
a larger scale—rerbum sat. We have better hopes,
however, though we write thus.

If, as we have already said,"necessity compel us, we
must return to the subject ; if, on the other hand; as
we rather hope and anticipate, this after all prove but
an idle rumour, we have been but contending with a
shadow, and shall no longer
" Fright the town from its propriety."

The absolute. wisdom of the Anti-corn-law League
has of late directed its efforts to the task of enlighten-
ing British fanners upon the science of agriculture.
Their journals are full of lessons and criticisms upon
farming ; their. orators talk learnedly about draining
and manuring; ploughing and fencing; and if we
might judge from the amount of information which
appears upon the surface of their diatribes, they would
experience as little difficulty in undertaking the culti-

vation of the tstates of our intniotiliers as in aPPtarli
ating their rents,
The amount of modesty displayed in this movement
we shall not remark upon. Men who have never
travelled ten miles from the clatter of mill machine!):
may be presumed to know something about theoretical
farming—as much as can be picked up by the perusal
of a treatise or two upon the subject ;—but the chances
are that they know little, indeed, about practical
farming. And such is the conclusion which we would
draw from what we have seen of their commentaries
upon the state of British agriculture. Most men, in
.
passing through a farming country, could point out
deficiencies of management. Most men, when they
see a farm where the fencing and the draining are
complete, could assure themselves that, there, skill and
capital were directed wisely to bring out the resource'
of the soil. Such is nearly the amount of the inforaw
Lion conveyed to us by the League upon this subject.
We are told only—what every farmers' hind knows
perfectly well—that the agricultural wealth of the
country is not fully developed; that slovenly -manage;
ment and deficient skill limit the productive powers °
the soil ; but we are not told either the source of tlie
deficiencies of the British farmer, or how those deli'
ciencies can be repaired. And we much doubt whether
one in a dozen of the people who prate so flipPantlY,
know one jot more of the subject matter of their Prate
than the farmer himself knows of the internal economy
of a cotton mill.

We are assured that it would he an easy thing to
double the producing power of the soil of Great 13ritsiaci
It would be no such thing. Much, no doubt, °id
be done towards a consummation so desirable;
much is being done. But it is the reverse of an east
task, or one which practical men will readily undertake.
Vast capital must be sunk in. the effort—capital will%
does not, like money spent upon the erection
of
factory or the improvement of its machinery, bring an
immediate interest. Visit any of the model farms of
the north of England, and ask their proprietors svuat
has been their experience of the process of agriculterai
improvement. You will be told at once that it ha
been one which none except a capitalist—which co
man dependant for support upon his yearly profits
could have gone through. You will be told, too,
th
the mere attempt to carry out the improvements, wu
boasted of by theorists and by men who look only tilie,a
the surface of things, has been attended with the Nu!
of thousands. So notorious, indeed, is the fact tha'
model farming—if we may so term it—is unremunerP
tive, that thousands of practical and sensible farmers
have been deterred from the adoption of improved
modes of cultivation by the examples which they have
;
had before their eyes of the failure of the superlative
system, so boasted of by the Cobdens and Gregs ni.ta
present day.
It is a practical absurdity to speculate upon theimproveable nature of the soil, under a scientific ril°d
of culture, as a resource upon which Great Britain c°ll
depend for her immediate wants; and it is worse than
absurdity to suppose that any such improvement calir
take place except under an assurance of protection I%
the capital embarked in it. No Man would undertake
the reclaiming of a single acre of land, with the PI:
pect before him of that free trade in corn, which t
all
League oracles hold out as the grand panacea for
the evils of the state; for such an attempt, he I°,ollfie
would be sheer madness. If any thing is to be "°,l-,
for the improvement of the soil, it can only be d°'ll,
whilst a reasonable prospect exists of a return for tied
capital embarked ; and it *ill scarcely be contend
that such a prospect exists as the result of a ineasni
which it is admitted will throw out of profitable cll.
ture all the richest soils of the kingdom.
of
The great difficulty which stands in the waYiiet
extensive improvements in cultivation, and which me
restrict such improvement to the Bathe gradual elianghe
which has for years past been taking place, is
The
deficiency of means on the part of the cultivator. 3
abolition of the one pound note currency inflicted&
serious blow upon the farmers of England. After 'ot
passing of this measure they no longer received tb
aid from the country banker to which they had bee
accustomed; and improvement, as a matter of necessi,lll;
stood still. The establishment of the system die,'
stock banking, in England, at least, has done nothing
for this class, although in Scotland it has done so tnileii.
The manufacturer and the trader are provided in t'r
joint stock bank with the materials for speculation w
od
investment, because their returns are more speedy ant,
more susceptible of being Calculated upon with ce d
tainty ; but the farmer, who wants money to exPetio
in improvements, will not be favoured with it fr°o
such a quarter. Whence, then, is he to get it ? $
his landlord. .His only hope is here ; and it is i,
fallacious one, and is likely to be so, until agitationed
