TEN DAYS LATER FROM CHINA.

Another ship came in from China this morning,
namely, the Valparaiso, which sailed from Macao
on the l4th Of October.
1t appears that another Celestial city has been
knocked into cooked hat by the guns Of England.
Hingpo the greatest commercial place in all China,
was captured after brief fight This city is situated
opposite the Island Of Chusan, and to the north OF
Annoy.
II has been determined by Sir Henry Pottinguer to
go into winter quarters, after the taking of Ningpo
This will give the Emperor time to reflect In the
spring nearly the whole British force will commence
operations further to the north to penetrate to Pekn
We do not believe his Celestial Majesty will make
any concession of consequence till that is DONE
With the exception of the affair at Nngpo
every thing appeared to be in the same state when
the Probus sailed.
1t is said that the Mandarns, to keep the Chinese
soldiers from running when the attack was made on
Annoy, chained them to their guns. Then, when the
English landed the longqueusd Mandarns took to their
heels and left the poor soldiers at the mercy Of the
enemy
One Mandarin, just before the attack sent flag
of truce to an English captain stationed opposite to
his post and desired to make agreement that nei-
Their should use balls but to blaze away at each other
with powder He said it would please the Emperor
lust as much as if the balls were fired.
All was quiet at Annoy.
They had good deal Of sickness lately in the set
Element of Macao, and many inhabitants and Chinese
had fallen victims to kind of influenza which was
travelling about

THE BANK INQUISITION.

We copy the following from the Mississippi
Free Trader, and we have no doubt of its truth
The advocates Of another u S. Bank are daily
trying TO operate on as in the same way. But
the friends Of the country, both here and else
where, must ultimately prevail:

that the banks and ciques ftha city have used every
effort to break down his paper and to induce his sub
scrbers to withdraw their subscriptions, IN conse-
quenee of his advocating the immediate resumption
of specie payments. He states that one OF the Direct
ors Of the Merchants Bank personally threatened T.
array against him all the power of that inst luton and
its friends If he dared utter word against lheh
contemplated issue of batch OF shinplas,ers
and that other banks have threatened to withdraw all
accommodations from those merchants that subscribe
for his paper.
II this be il evinces an nquistoral spirit that
should be put down by the action Of all parties Men
that venture, at this epoch, to make such threats
would broil the recusant editor grldron, IT they

anxiety the result of the labors Of ME commr-

but that it will be modified seems {, be tht
general impression The opinions exptssed in
the Senate, during the debate on the refeenep
have produced this idea. But whatever cllntes
the wisdom of the committees may determJe o
make, we cannot but repeat the hope that t2ir
reports will be made soon. The paralysis W.

CONGRESS-.

After the reading of the journal, Mr. Coope,
Of Pa, by permission, offered report flom the
Committee on Indian Affairs. Others took ady,n
tage of the privilege, but the course was pro
nounced irregular, and the orders Of the A.,
were called for.
The pending business was the question III
printing memorial from the State of Maine
presented by Mr.. Pendleton. He was maxine
some observations preliminary TO a statement n
the purport Of the memorial, when he was called
to order NY Mr.. Andrews, Of Kentucky. Tbs
call being, after a few minutes, repeated M
Kennedy, of Maryland, suggested that the ME-
mortal should be read. Mr., Pendeton refused
TO proceed further with his explanation, and Tho
motion to print the memorial was carried.
Petitions were then presented by Messt,
Lowell, A. Marshall, Clifford, Allen, White d,
Louisiana, Gentry, and Campbell.
Mr.. Bidlack also offered petitions which had
been intrusted TO his colleague, Mr. Plumer.
Aftersome difficulty, permission was given. and
they were appropriately referred.
Mr.. Gushing then moved reconsideration OF
the vote given yesterday on the reception Of the
memorial offered by Mr.. Adams, and expressed
his intention of making speech. He insisted
on his right of being heard. The Speaker
ruled that it was not in order to debate the ques
ton at this time-as, under the rule, petition
lies over when debate arises on it, Mr.. Cush
ing observed that the question did not involve
the subject matter Of the petition, but the re-
ception of the petition He was still overruled,
and appealed from the decision. The char
was sustained without count
The business then in order was reports from
standing committees. Mr.. Tlllinghast com
pleted his unfinished speech on a resolution au,
thorlsing the Committee on Manufactures 10
send for persons and papers, for the purpose Of
obtaining information. He was followed BY
Mr.. Brown, of Tennessee, who offered an
amendment, to the effect that the persons sum
moned should be dsinterested The debate
was continued by Mr.. Wood
The morning hour having expired, Mr.. Fill
more moved 20 go into Committee Of the Whole
on the state o. the Union. After some CONVEX
sation, the motion prevailed, and Mr.. Briggs
was called to the Chair The bills providing
for the protection of American seamen. and for
the payment Of pensions, were disposed Of
The civil and diplomatic appropriation bill was
then read, when the Committee rose reported
the two first bills to the House, and also repor,
ed progress on the third.
Without the performance of any other bust

| must tell you an anecdote, connected with the
passage of this bill Last evening Mr.. Bolts in con-

ter of course, oppose the damn'd thing. -" be-

very thing we want! Let the Government stop-let
the damnd scoundrel, at the head of it, resign-and,
then, we elect an honest man for President ~
Mr.. Bolts made the same proposition to Mr.. Medill,
who like Mr.. Weller treated it with the contempt it
merited

your people of Ohio think, when they learn that such
insulting, such yllanous proers can be deliberately

To disgrace the Government, to make the nation the
mockery and laughngstock Of the civilized world for
no other purpose than to prosecute John Tyler from
the chair Of the Chief Magstracy Such men as
Medill and Weller are an honor to your State-they
would be an honor to any State They were the
natural opponents of the present Administration but
they love their country too well to lend themselves
to such base uses as Bolts would put them to.

Sir In reply to the note which you handed me a
few minutes since, calling my attention to letter
contained in the sold School Republican, and pur-
porting to have been written from this city, charging
you with having submitted to me proposition TO
vote against the Treasury note bill, with view to
embarrass the Government, and thereby force the
President to resign, have to say, that you never
made any proposition" to in relation to that or
any other measure before the House, nor have any
knowledge of the writer, or the authority upon
which he founded the assertion. 1t may be proper
for me further to say, however that while you
engaged in conversation with gentleman by my
side, on the day preceding that upon which the bill
passed the House of Representatives, remarked to
you that, unless it passed. understood the Govern
ment would be wholly without means, and that
could not in what other way it would be able to
get along. You replied in substance " Then let it
stop-let Tyler resign and some person be elected in
his place. who will represent the views of one the
other Of the great political parties in the country

subsequent conversation, but certainly with no
view or expectation that they would be made the
subject of comment, or find their way into he pub
