The London Times and the Premier.-'rhe
course of tho London Times in attacking Sir
Robert Peel, seems TO puzzle some of the other
Journals. The London Globe says
"With its providential promptitude to seize the
favorable moment for disclosing the course it will
henceforth pursue with reference oquestions which
seemed to be suspended IN a state Of equilibrium,
the Times has made its election The government
Of Sir Robert Peel is to be fast fastening to
its end and the leading journal has joined its
assalants that it may at least share the credit Of
| its destruction"
| Mr.. Walsh says that I" the Times has been ir-
rtated by the scorn and gibe which O'Connell has
lavshed upon it in his circular Repeal orations
it has waxed impatient and rather savage it villa
try scolding and browbeating for term, but can
not in the end abandon the Conservatives. The
Standard has found it expedient to deny, in the
roundest language, on authority, that any differ
ence or counsel or sentiment has occurred in the
Cabinet on the Irish question or any other"
american Flag in China.--A writer in the
Boston Courier, who takes the signature of Choong
Known, says:
| When the thirteen stars and stripos first ap.
peared at Canton, much curiosity was excited
among the people. News circulated that q
strange ship had arrived from the further end Of
the world, bearing Il flag Il" as beautiful as flow
er.' Every body went to see tho kaca kes chuen,
or L" flower flag ship.'' This name at once esta-
blished itself in the language, and America is
now called kca kee krcoh, " the flower flag coun-
. try"--ani an American, kaoa kee k,coh gin, " the
flower flag countryman''-a moro complimentary
designation than that of s. RED headed barbarian"
the name first bestowed upon the Dutch. -

The gtterng flag that o'er us shines,
i Is lit with stars Of kindred light
i And blended, wave in glorious lines,

John d. Smith arrested on las, Saturday
evening, by officer Ganong cha rged with passing
countefe felt money. On the examination, it was
u proved by the prisoner that he innocently came
IN possession of the spurious money; that he had
been en,iced into the United States Hotel. and
there he, by gambling, lost this money and guam
r. uty of good funds in his possession. Because he
was unable to redeem the bad money, the gambler
who Aeeced him lodged a complaint against him.
f This may teach him lesson.
Distress among mOneyed men.-A London let.
ter of August lst attributes the great influx of
gold from the continent. not to present balances

may be obtained on English stocks for almost
t nothing, and discounts on commercial paper at
two per cent"
