ARRIVAL oFTHE CALEDONIA.
The British steamship Caledonia ar
rived at this port early this morning,
from Liverpool, with the regular mail
of Aug; and We have received our re-
gular files Of papers, together with
London paper OF the morning Of her
sailing, forwarded by Wilmer & Smith,
the agents of Harnden s Co.
The accounts represent that through
out England there has been an uninter-
rupted succession Of fine weather, and
that the prospect Of an unusually good
harvest was very great. Money was
abundant; the demand for most de-
scriptions of produce was good and
the cotton market had decldedly-im-
proved in demand and in price.
Another !" Boy Jones" affair has TAX
en- place at Windsor Castle. The IN
tru.ler this time was a man forty years
old, named Quested, who pretended to
be crazy. After lengthy examina-
ton, no doubt remained bat that he was
insane.
The particulars Of the news received
by the last overland mail from India
are published in the London papers of
Aug. 9th. The correspondent Of the
Chronicle, under date OF Bombay,
June 18th, says:
"Our intelligence from the Chinese
empire, which extend to April, compri-
ses, as usual, bloodless and worthless
battle. This obstinate and incompre-
hensible power, notwithstanding the
slaughter Of the troops, the demolition
Of its defences, and the capture Of its
cities, yet stands firm, uninJured, con-
scious Of safety in the very hugeness
which renders it inactive, gathering
fresh confidence with every reverse,
and Strengthening its determination to
resist each time resistance is shown to
be Of no avail. Itnay sound paradox
ical; but China is beating US by be-
ing beaten. We expend our money,
devote our energies. and exhaust our
resources, in a contest with a power
100 unwieldy to overthrow. The giant
may be lazyand sluggish, slow to strike,
and awkward in his movement; still he
is giant. The time may possibly e.
nough arrive when we shall conquer
China; but it will be through the assis
lance Of the epople oAhe land, and not
by dint ofour individual exertions. Mel
fher three, nor FIVE, nor ten such expe-
ditions as that which We have despatch
ed, would suffice to capture country
upwards of million square miles in ex-
tent, and containing hundred and if
,ssmillion of inhabitants
atote Of the Manufacturing Districts.
MANcHEsTER.-The cotton mills,
both in Manchester and Stafford, still
continue almost entirely unemployed,
no arrangement having been made be-
tween the masters and the men for the
resumption Of work. Nevertheless, it
is not thought here that this total sus-
pension Of labor will last much longer;
and it was evidently expected that
many of the mills might have started
this morning, for at break Of day pat
rolls of police and special constables
proceeded through the town, for the
purpose of protecting such factories as
n;obt have commenced operations.-
Last night great number Of mills were
seen emitting smoke, showing that the
steam engines Of the factories are re, be-
ginning TO be prepared for work. There
Are numbers Of idle persons collected
about the streets; but not the slightest
disposition for disturbance IS eyincea'
