FROM CHINA

The ship Panama, at New York, lei
Macoa on the 9th January. 1t appear
that the Panama and Koscnsko were al
lowed to pass the blockade by the Corr
nsnder-n. chief, as an act of courtesy tC
the American flag. There had been no
hing but negotiations going on at Can
ton between the belligerants-but the
"Canten Press" of the 26th December
says that things begin TO wear very Sc.
rious aspect, that all the ships were get
ting ready for action, that no answer had
been received from the last Chop, and
that, if an answer did not arrive on the
2Sth, the Bogue Forts would be attacked.
The latest news from Canton was that the
Keshen was altogether indisposed TO a
friendly settlement, involving concession
on the part of China.
Nothing new from Chusan--the inva-
lids we're mostly recovering, but many
deaths occurred.
The Chinese are very confident that the
Bogue forts will effectGally resist the Brit.
ish feet.
The Chinese are reported to have offer
ed 100000 dollars in settlement of the
"Vexatious question" The British Gov
ernment to guaranty the dscontinuance
in future Of all shipments of opium from
India.
1t appears that the permission granted
to the Panama and Kosciusco to leave
Canton, gave great dissatisfaction to the
foreign merchants who had sent forward
TO the Commodore, protes-
ting against the departure of the ships,
on the ground of the Illegally Of the act,
it's benefit to one particular class, &C.
The answer Of the commodore was, that
ne was pledged to the Chinese TO let the
ships pass, and could not break his word. |
The captain of the Panama states that
when he Ieft,the Chinese had hauled their
unks, loaded with stone, on the first bar,
preparatory to sinking them in the chan
lel, aud that in his opinion they would be
unk the next day, as it was expected that
he English would attack the Bogue forts.
The opium trade has been carried on
0 great extent--30,00O chests having
cen sold on the coast at an average price
f$6OO per chest.
The tea cropis said to be very Short
The crop prepared for foreign export is
n average one, but the Chinese are keep
ng it back in the country.
Mr.. Stanton, the Missionary, after an
Imprisonment Of four months, arrived at
Iacoa on the 18th December, having
cen liberated by the representatives of

ADVANTAGE OF LTTIGAFToy-Ths
Plymouth Memorial states that some for
ty or fifty years ago, there lived a man in
Plymouth county, who was very fond Of
litigation, so much so, as to have a case
almost every court, and it was no means
unfrequently that he came off second best.
One day he asked an eminent lawyer,
whom he sometimes employed, the rea.
son Of his poor success, " Don't you
know!" said the lawyer. "Then ! will
tell you. The reason is simply this
You cannot empannel a jury of twelve
men in Plymouth county, but that you
