FURTHER FROM CHINA.

The New York Herald has received few further
particulars fiom China, by the Delhi, at that port
The editor says:
It appear from our letters AMI papers, that there
had been no particular change in the affairs between
the smoothlaced Chinese and British. Neither
Canton nor the forts Of Bocca Tgris had been bat
teied down nor touched-and Pekin was saie.-
Neither had the English squadron arrived off Ma
Gao. So the intelligence received a week ago hy
the "Acadil" is incorrect.
Captain Croker informs us that lie was in Can

list of the British fleet. Ii was hourly expected to
arrive there. lie states also that on the 9Th Of
June, when about eco miles from Macao, he saw
steamer standing towards Canton, which he took
To be one # the expedition. In the annexed list
the names of two steam friga'es are given. That
seen was unquestionably one of them. He slw
nothing of the other vessels of war. But they
we've every day expected at Macao, and as the scl.
mcr seer was one Of tho fleet, the Avant Courelr,
it is fair to suppose that the entire squadron arTiS
in the Chinese Seas a few days after the Delhi
left The next news will therefore be important,
and looked for with much anxiety.

The Election.
pr, secution.

The result of the Presidents al contcst in this
state, VIC expected, has been close. The friends
of Mr. Van Buren,, have had much to contend a.
g,rs', independent of the Military renown with
whi,h the wings invested Gen. Harrison, thir cam
didae, and which they certainly used with 'nsil,r
able eff Ct. The commercial distress of the COM

Of the elections in this state. The tine. not the
principe which the wings advocate, have brought
abnut the result.
The Democracy Of Pennsylvania, we sre conf.

many who saw and frt the pressure Of the times,
withou, taking the trouble to enquire into the use,
became lukewarm, while others were willing to try
the effect Of change, without impu'ing any error
to the general administration. The wings, on the
other hand, were probably better organized than E.
YER. Acting in perfect concert and unity. the whole
strength of the opposition was brought to bear a.

interests were carefully comproms' d. at least for
a time being smrther.d. Thus armed, and with a

III E A DIS U P!

We have kept back our paper to
give the news up to this morning. We
claim for Mr.. Van Buren, according
to the latest information, majority of
about 800 in the State. The wings also
claim it by 50. We, however. can now
assure our friends that the chances are
in our favor, and that Pennsylvania is
still true to Democracy. The majority
will not exceed 800.

The Ledger states that the story some weeks
since put in circulation that the Bank of the Uni

Government of 100000, now turns out thus. as
detailed by coiemporary.
"An ns,almen, Of $500 600 was due the Chero

Fed raj Government. The United States Bank
despatched an agent for the pu pose of anticipating
the paym, Mt in her own dishonored notes, instead
of p wing that amount into the treasury, as reqn-
red by law in specie funds BY this operation the
bank would have saved per cent, or $4,000,
which the poor Indians would have been shaved

the barbarous savages were too uncvil z d to un-
dersta1d the superiority of deprecated paper to the
precious metals, and utterly refused to take it.
This spoiled the arrangement, and the government
is now paying out specie, which will be circulated
among the people of Arkansas and Missouri"
