NEW DIRK, FEBRUARY 5.
By an arrival from Canton we have
news to the 25th of September, month
and half later than we have received
before. The troubles between the Eng
lish and the Chinese have become so Sc
rious that the British residents have been
obliged to leave Macao, and take refuge on
board the ships ofwar, as we have before
heard via Singapore. The British trade
with China was totally suspended, and
there was no prospect of an adjustment Of
difficulties without aid from England.
The opium trade was still carried on brisk
ly under the British flag. There was a
good deal of bad feeling between the Chi
nese and the English, and some skirmishes
had taken place. 1t was reported that
several Chinese were killed, and among
them Mandarin Of rank.
Capt. Smith, commanding the British
squadron, issued an order declaring a
blockade Of the port of Canton, but after
wards revoked it. The American trade
continued without molestation, and sew
eral vessels were employed under high
rates of freight in taking British manufac-
lures to Canton. The remonstrance of
the American merchants respecting the
blockade was the cause ofits revocation;
but when the East Indian squadron ar
rives, as constantly expected, it is not at
all improbable that the blockade will be
renewed.
The news from Pennsylvania respect
ing the banks and the Governor and Lee
gislature is creating something of a sensa-
ton in Wall street New York, though a
silent, is an intent, looker-on.
The dishonor of the great Keystone
State in not paying the interest $780,
OOO) due on part otis debt on Saturday
last is a mournlul commentary upon the
times. A delinquent State making de-
linquency penalty is novelty in Amer
lean history.-Nat. Intelkgencer.
The New JERSEY .cAsE.-The case Of
the election of FIVE of the formally return

ting the protest of the Legislature OF that
State against the act of Congress by which
it has been deprived of the weight of rep
