INITIALS
FROM CHINA.

The ship Venice, Capt Perrtt, arrived at this port
yesterday in 10 days from Canton, whence she sailed
on the 23d Of November last,-nine days later than
we had received via England. The news is mainly
imbodied in the following letter
MACAO, Nov. II, l94l.
We have advices from the northeast coast of China
of Gillian and the taking Of The city of Ning-po by
II. b. Nj forces, The entrance of the river leading
TO Nng-po is said to have been defended by strong
batteries at which some resistance was made, and
about 1900 Of the Chinese slaughtered, while the Brl
fish forces sustained but very trifing loss. The au-
thorllies fled from Ning-po on the approach of the
British and the inhabitants Of the city and vicinity
appeared TO have submitted quietly to the military
domination of the steamers
Since the commencement Of their operations in Chi
ma early in 1910, the British forces have suffered
vefely by casualties and sickness. OF the people on
board OF the transport Nerbudda, wrecked of Formo-
ga, more than half were murdered when they reached
The shore, and the remainder sent To the
coast of China, where the like fate has beiasn them
The armed steamer Madagascar also wrecked
since, about three hundred miles N + of us, and her
officers and have fallen into the hands OF the
Chinese beyond which nothing is known of their
fate
The setting in Of cold weather will prevent any
farther operations in the North until the ensuing
spring. when if we are rightly informed, the British
forces will require to be very considerably increased
to enable them to proceed towards Pekin. In Can
ton all continues quiet thus far but the authorities
are busily engaged in placing distractions to the
gation of the river, and in building new forts
Their plans, however, appear to be solely defensive,
and we do not think they wish to provoke farther hos
tlties in this quarter

A VOICE OF THUNDER-FAIR WARNING
From the Ba,lpOr IThiy

The presses many parts of the country are by no
ceremonious in the language they adopt in re-
lation to the doings of the present Congress. The
waste of tme-the Improbable debates-the inatten-
ton to businesshe wrangings chickering's, and dis
order which seems to characterize the present House
of Representatives, body, are rebuked with de-
served severity, by many of our editorial brethren.
In an article on this subject the New Hampshire
Courier has the following remarks
We trust all parties will unite in thing in Sc
ecting candidates for the next Congress- and that is
let no man of any party be supported who is not in
favor of reducing the mileage of members 50 per cent
and their per diem pay 25 per cent This would give
member of Congress from this place to Washington
$780, while it would require two days Of his time
and ST. of his money, thus giving him $50 for two
days ride, OF sal 50 per day. And who does not
consider Sc per day ample compensation for such
men as usually go to Congress? And with the reduc-
ton of mileage and day wages should be coupled the
abolition of the Thanking privilege now allowed to
members Of Congress. As soon as a reform can be
had in Congress- shall have laid the foundation for
reform in all branches of the Government. The
people should too, that man is elected to the
next Congress, who is not in favor of doing all that
Congress can do to put final stop to the importa-
tion distillaon, sale, and consumption of ntoxicat
ing drinks. We must have a thorough reform in
Congress, and reform in the use of exciting liquors
is as much needed is any other reform. When
every member of Congress shall be C tee-totaer
there will be end to most of the disgraceu scenes
that now disgrace the country
Wise and Marshall have joined the " tce-totaers !!
The former never has any opposition in his district
and the latter is A, l. No. in his. Clay is in favor
of reduction Of the per diem, but unfortunately he
has resigned his seat.

THE ENGLISH CORN LAWS.

| The late movement of Lord John Russell in
Of the corn laws, has met with the fate which
its author might have anticipated, and the only
surprise that we feel in regard to the matter is,
that the majority against him was small
Connected as his lordship is with the land
holding or agricultural interest, he must have
known that on this subject there exists almost
no difference of opinion among the gentry and
nobility of the three kingdoms 1t is to the
corn laws that the British owner of real estate
looks for protection against the influx of foreign
bread stufs at prices which, apart from this sys-
tenn, would enable the foreign, to undersell the
home producer, and thus destroy the landed in
terest, by taking from tenants the ability to pay
their rents From the noise and fermentation
among the people, which the agitation Of this
question never fails to create in the large towns
and manufacturing districts, distant observer
might be led to suppose that change would be
popular with the nation but slight glimpse at
the real condition of things will soon convince
one of the erroneousness OF any such opinion.
In Britain, however great and important the
e,
and they certainly are of much moment, it is to
the agriculture of the land that reference must
be had when the capacity Of the country for tax
alton is to be estimated, and We need never ex-
pect to see party distinctions thoroughly carried
out when proposed changes will have the effect
expense of the cutivators of the soil. 1t is true
that there, as here, agitation has been found a
powerful weapon by political aspirants, when
the favor of the mass of the populace is to be
acquired, and il is in this way alone that we can
account for the repeated attempts made by Lord
John in a uarter where defeat was morally GER
tain 1t may suit his lordship, as it has suited Mr.
O'Connell, to seek to identify his popularity
with the advancement of the democratic feature
in British institutions, but most radical change
must take place before he can hope for any sue
cess in this question. Such being the case, i,
is wrong in persons on this side of the Atlantic
to build any hopes on change of policy on the
with all her professions about free trade, there
has not occurred, within the last century, sol
iary occasion in which the English Govern
ment has failed to protect English industry.
whether it be among her manufacturing, com
mercial or agricultural interests. England is a
very good customer for our cotton, and we like
her the better for it as long lasts, but fee
assured that the moment she can obtain the ar
ticle from elsewhere she will leave our Southern
planters to whistle over their thumbs. Let ou
politicians look to this, on our, authority if they
choose, and let such course be adopted As shall
deaden the blow as far as possible whenever i
shall come

the incubus that weighs down the national en-
erges, under the name of party feeling, and
stops the circulation of the life blood Of the body
polite. Did the evils under which the People
Of the United States now suffer spring from
any unforeseen and sudden cause beyond the
reach of cure, there might be some apology for
those entrusted with the management of public
affairs, but such is not the case. The channels
of business have been choked up by former
misrule, the resources of the country have been
absorbed by the sl,endthriit profusion of anece'
dent administrations, in attaining partisan ends;
both arms of the national defence have been
suffered to dwindle and become nerveless for
the want of their legitimate supplies, that have
been withheld in endeavoring TO produce an APP
pearance of economy, in itself illusory and fall
acious, and now the ordinary operations OF the
Government are hindered and trammelled by
the Vaccinations of partisan asprants, whilst
the people are begging for bread and receiving
at the hands Of their rulers stone. Can gen
tlemen be so weak and credulous as TO think
that such things can exist and not call forth the
indignation of an abused and intelligent con-
sttuency, or do they imagine that the honest
yeomanry Of the land are so stult6ed by partisan
feeling as not to discriminate between their
appeals of patriotism and good faith If they
suppose that such is the case, they will find
themselves mistaken and learn when too late
the deceptveness of such vain imaginations.-
1t may be that Congress fiatters itself that the
nation will be satisfied with the idle hue and
about party pledges broken and promises unre-
deemed. Here, too, they make gross miscal-
cuation. There are times in which such pre-
fences might avail, but those are times very diff,
ferent from the present. Party drill and ma
chnery to the contrary Notwithstanding, there
yet remains in the country a sound sense and pa
triotsm of feeling that can discern and appreciate
honest, single minded erertion for the public
good, and reward it with confidence, whilst they
will reject with Indignation the zeal that centres
in self-advancement
We intend no disrespect to Congress, but, if
that body docs not wish to bring disrespect
upon itself, it will learn before it is too late that
actions and not poris, roords, pords, are the
passports 10 popular confidence, Let our for
eign relations be regarded-let our defences
be attended to--let our treasury be replenished-
let the industry of the country be cherished and
protected-in word, let the wants Of the ma
ton be supplied and then, but not until then,
will men in public trust receive the respect and
Difference due TO a faithful and prompt dis
charge Of duty.

Mr. Tallmadgc, f,on the Committee on the Cur

same that brought in by Mr.. Gushing in the lower
House Its appearance in the Senate created great
sensation Ii received the unanimous appreciation of
the Committee save MIR Walker and Mr. Young who
objected only, because it recognised the State Banks
and constitutional issues Of currency. We have not
time now to compare the two reports Mr. Tall
uadges, no doubt, will be pared down to agree
with Mr.. Cushing's bill in which shape, it will no
doubt pass
The Clay section of ultras and Benton's squad of
extremes, numbering about half a dozen each will
oppose the bill throughout, but there patriots
enough in both Houses to make law of it. gen

political pulse at Washington beats, predict to its
