LATE FROM CHINA.-The ship Akbar arrived at New York on the 4th, with dates 109 days from Canton. It states that, immediately after the fall o the Bogue forts, the city of Canton was evacuated by all who could afford to leave, taking with them their families and property; and when the Akbar left, China street and the business part of the su- burbs deserted, shops closed and scarcely any one to be seen. On the news of the attack upon the Bogue reaching Pekn, the Emperor ordered three Imperial Commissioners lone reiatiye) to pro- ceed to Canton, and to exterminate the English swearing in his edct that both powers could no, stand-one or the other must conquer or perish.
 On the lst of June the fleet was to go north to make another demonstration on Pekin.
 The loss of the Chinese in the various engagements estimated at 25O0 or 3OOO men, and about 800 pieces of cannon. The Chinese admiral, Kewang, fell in defence of the Bogue forts, did two other mandarins of high rank. The captain ofa British transport arriving Chusan after the surrender of that island to the Chinese, slain landing The day after the fall of the Bogue forts, rewards were offered for the capture destruction of British ships $l00,000 for line-of-battIe ship, $10,OOO for a steamer, Ss50,OO0 for the Admiral Captain Elliott iftaken alive, and 900 for either of their heads
 The prices of teas had risen 30 per cent.

From the N. Y. Evening Post
 Tue Bankrupt LaD applied to Corporations. American of last evening has the following remarks upon the question of subec;ng corporations to ge- neral bankrupt law
 ssEvery individual citizen of each state, II is con- ceeded Congress has authority to subject to bank rupt law. Can state then by aggregatlng several individuals and investing them corporators with special privileges and immunities, withdraw them from the operation of the law of Congressl
 ''lt is not denied, we apprehend that tbe general taxing power of Congress extends to bank or insur ance, or any other stock created by acts of ncorpo ratons. Why should it's legislative and judicial power to regulate the equitable distribution of such property among creditors, be more questionablel
 s'On this head both to the right and the expe- diency, we confess opinion has undergone nia- terIa change. At first, the idea of rendering the corporations of state subject to the federal bank rupt law, seemed to us irreconcable with right and still more with eXpediency.
 'sThe right, upon more reflection, seems to us now far less questionable than we had imagined; and for the expediency-although onthat head we are vet not quite confrmed-the disgracefn persistency in easy and profitable insolvency by many banks hay ing all the means on hand of an honest resumption, furnish most potent arguments. To bring sucb cor porations back to sense of duty and moral obliea- ii ,n, nothing woul be more efiicacious than an ,m- pending writ of bankruptcy.
 ''All this, however, has been overruled in the Senate, and IS not Hkeiy 10 md more favor m the House."
 Neither the Senate the House of Representa- tives, fear, is in disposition to egisate wisely and benefcialy upon any important matter. By re- fusing to make the bankrupt law what they might have made they have rejected an opportunity of ac quiring much popularity-they might have passed law humane to the debtor, just to the creditor use iul in disentangng the mercantile class from it's em- barrassmens, and of potent efficacy in restor- ing the currency wholesome state; but they have chosen to cast this advantage from their hands,
 The bankrupt bill which has passed the Senate, is one of those partial measures adopted by a party eagerly and blindly graspng after the public favor without refecting that this favoisn the long run can be obtained only by regard the principles of uni versal justice. The provisions of the bankrupt bill contemplate only voluntary bankruptcy, and will finally, we apprehend, occasion much discomfort.
 The great objection to a general bankrupt law, that it may lead to an unsafe enlargement of the powers of the general government, and supersede to dangerous extent, the legislation of the states in regard to transactions between man and man. is cer- tainly deserving of grave consideration. The dan ger could not be incurred without the certainty of real and essential good The Senate have chosen to risk the danger without taking to secure the benefit.

Repeai.-The democratic papers in every quarter of the Union join in the cry of repeal in reference to the proposed bank The people sustain the cry Not less than twelve to fifteen thousand according tc the New Era, joined in the assertion of this doctrine at the late meeting in New York City.
 1.-the whigs go now, and make bank, and any of citizens choose to subscribe to the stock, they cannot afterwards complain, in reference to repeal that they'had not fair warning. Being notified ol the extent to repeal,th win take their stock under the implied understanding that the bank is to be re. pealed, whenever the people will it.
 Some profess to be mortified at the idea of repeal ing charter. But they have no horror at the idea of enslavng the whole people for thirty, fifty, or hundred years, by any thing which majority of a Congress elected by false pretences please to put in to bill to which they give the name of charter- The rights of the few are always sacred with such persons, but the rights of many are nothing in their eyes.
 There will be no constitutional. question in the way.
 It is believed by many of our best urists, that the provisions of the U. s. Constitution, that no state shall pass law violating the obligations of contracts is not applicable to the of charters Iftis, our liberties are not very secure. But however this may be, the clause in question does not apply to the Uni ted States, as a whole. The action of a Congress in repeal, can therefore be in no way affected by it.-Pennsylvanian.

A slip from the St. Joseph Times states that the fever in that place is abating. Throughout all Flor. ida this year has been marked by extraordinary sick ness. The Times says:-
 "This has been year long to be remembered in Florida. From all parts of the country. where we have received distinct nteligence-death has been rife in the land. The newspapers show not the ex- tent of loss and suffering In time of health and security, the deaths of many who are now unan- nounced in the newspapers would have sounded like the fall of mighty pine in the still forest"
 Among the deaths mentioned is that of the Hon. Richard C. Allen, Judge of the U. s. Court for the district of Apalachicola.
 The Times administers severe castigaton to a Dr. J. c. Howard for deserting his patients ia the midst of the sickness when there was no other resi- dent physician in the city.
 In Tallahassee and it's vicinity the fever has been equally general and fatal. A letter from that place, says-"Our country has been and still is in dread fu situation from sickness. You cant imagine our distress-Some of our planters will loose their crops from the sickness of thelr hands. One of my ne- phews, working thirty hands, has not at work. D
 At Key West and Havana, we learn from the St. Augustine News, it has prevailed with great fatality, In the latter port, says, nine American ships were lying, without soul on board, all having perished with the fever
 Our own city continues very healthy, and in New Orleans we have seen announcement of any new cases of the yellow fever

FIRE.-A fire broke out about o'clock yesterday morning. in the premises north east corner of Church and Claiborne streets, which was fortunately check ed through the exertons of the fire companies aided by an almost dead calm, before it communicated to any of the adjoining houses. The dwelling house on the lot, although not than or 10 feet distant, from the kitchen, preserved and the only build- inss burnt, were the kitchen, stable and carpenter shop. The combustible materials in the shop shot up for short tune fierce blaze, the red glare of which was reflected the horizon with unusual dis tnctness, lighting up the country for miles around, and then, as the building fell n suddenly leaving all again in darkness.
 This is the third fire which has taken place in the quarter of the city, within ten days; in each of the other two, small frame tenement was burnt. But little doubt exists to the cause of these equen, alarms. We are pleased to hear that energetic measure foot to protect the city against the designs of those iucendiary villains. It behooyes every citizen be the alert, and contribute all in his power to the general safety.-Journal.

WAsHIsGroN.-The proceedings from Wash ineton by to-da,s mail not very important.
 On the 4th, discussion was held in the Senate on the fortl6cation bill. On the 5th, pending the prntne of a memorial with resolutions from Vir- ginia, against bank, very excited conversation occurred between Messrs. Benton and Clay of Ky Mr. Benton moved to take up the resolutions, and Mir. Clay in angry tone called him to order. An animated debate followed the point of order, whether vote to lay motion to print on the table earned with it the subject matter, in which Mr. Clay maintained the affirmative and Mir. Calhoun and King the negative of the proposition, and the Chair decid- e ts 4inst the Dictator. This scene which excited much interest," from the skill with which the discus- ;, T was manage ended in burst of general merri- -.rzt. shen NJ. Cwhbert rose, and in the ardent -.--aer i-r which he is remarkable, read Mir Clay . i-.s1ra a. tho .npropriety of the exercise of the sA.mta :: temge he had exhibited. The merriment i'creasei 10 general roar of laughter. when Mir.
 :sy, whose irritation increased by his disconl- Iture in the debate, expressed his willingness pare tempers with the Senator from Georgia.
 In the House. on the 4th resolution was adopt ed to close the discussion of the bank bill on the 6h Mir. Bou's made speech the consttutonality of the bank, which the correspondent of the Mercury characterizes as particularly silly affair.
 On the 9th the discussion was continued, Mir. Marshall of Kentucky moved to strike out tine ''com. promise" section, and substitute it by provision giving the unrestricted power of branching This it said is very likely to be carried.
 The correspondent of the Mercury says:-
 "The speeches of Messrs. Wise and Hunter were especially ablethe latter gentleman rapidly rising To an elevated rank among the statesmanof our coun try. The efforts of nearly all the whg speakers have been directed to prove the constituonality of bank. This is evidently intended for the benefit o the occupant of the White House; but Mr. Tyler has opinions on this subject, which were formed before some of his present would-be instructors saw the light. You may set it down certain as any thing can be which is the womb of fuurity that the bank bill now before Congress- if it passes that body, vii be vetoed by the President''
 The speeches of Messrs. J. e. Adams, Under wood and Marshall, of Ky. m opposition to the com promise are said to have been very able.
 It is probable (says the Charleston Courier) that the House may make amendments to the bill bad feeling m relation to it is growing up, even a. mong it's best frends-Mr. SERGEANT, &c. The, think the bill mpracticable, in it's present form, and that the stsek will not be subscribed for unless bill worthy of more public confidence can be formed.

PROGRESS OF REPEAL.-On the 3rd inst there was another large mass meeting of the democracy held in hiadelphia-Henry Horn, presiding. Among the speakers Col. Page, who, alluding to the impossibility of putting eectual checks Ma tional Bank, said--
 ''You may well attempt to bind fire with flax, as to restrain such monster by law. Restrict it you may, it will always find way to eude its bonds and do its will. To illustrate this position, the Colonel cited the instance of clerk in store of Mobile, who was an inyeterate smoker. His en- ployer finding his customers complaining of the filthy habit, remonstraed with the clerk; The latter said he couldn't help it. he must smoke and that he would die without his cigar. Not wishing to deprive, him entirely of so favorite luxury, the employer agreed that his clerk should smoke one, but only one cigar day. But what was his surprise when coming to the store next day, he found the clerk smoking c gar three feet long! He stuck the rule it true, and only smoked one cigar day. but It took him all

From the London Journal ofCommerce,

The origin fthe quarrel between France and the young republic does not appear to be generally known, We believe it was simply this:-Mr. de Salgny, the French charge d'afairs at Austin, was much chagrined by the refusal of the Texas congress to place in the hands of French company, of which he was the proector, and in which Louis Philipe took great personal interest, onopoly of the valuable trade with Santa Fe. M de Saligny did not conceal his modification, and his conduct was on many occa- sions very offensive to the Texan government and many of the Texan citizens. The French minister became involved in dispute at his hotel in Austin, and ultimately the hotelkeeper commenced an action against him for the amount of his account, M de Saligny appealed to the Texan government for SUD- port in his diplomatic privilege of exemption from being sued; correspondence ensued thereon, which,
 before it's cose s'became very tart I' the dpomalst declared his intention of demanding his passports;
 the government threatened to lay dormal complaint before his court, and to request his recall. M de Saligny has ceased to have any intercourse with the Texan government and has referred the whole affair to the French ministers. France seems inclined to take the matter up warmly, and otilla of brigs is said to be now fitting out at Toulon for the coast of Texas. Many ofthe particulars ofM. de Saligny's quarrel at his Austin hotel, which is the immediate of this tracas, said to be highly udicrous.
