W NOTIFICATION.
BRITISH CONSULATE OFFICE,
Shanghai, 10th March 1S45. !


Her Maiesty's Consul has to regret the
occurrence of most unprovoked outrage
on the part of some junkmen, placing the
lives of a party Of missionaries visiting Using
poo in the greatest jeopardy. While enga-
ged in earnest efforts to secure the appre-
hension of the ringleaders, and provide for
adequate measures being taken by the Chi
neSe authorities to prevent the recurrence
of acts, alike dangerous to life, and lnJuri-
Gus to our interests in China, Her AaJes-
tvs Consul deems it necessary to urge, IN
the strongest manner, upon all British sub
Jects the prudence of abstaining for the
present from any heightened excursions into
the country.
Some 5000 grain junkmen are scattered
between Soo-chow and Pava-Shan woo
sung) hitherto i'm the employment of the
chinese government, but about to be dis
missed without satisfactory or final arrange
mtnts having vet been made to provide them
with means Of finding other homes, and in
the meantime they remain at Tsingpoo and
other places a terror to the peaceable m
habitants whom they plumber and maltreat
with impunity.
The danger of such a state of things TO
British subjects, has been so fully shown by
the recent attack upon three iDoffensiVe ms
sionaries, who seem greatly TO have owed
their lives to the praiseworrhy foTbearance
they exhibited, that II must he obvious no
one with common prudence can at present
visit tie neighborhocd Of these junkmen.

to Now we know that most of those
who were for Taylor were so because they
honestly believed that ii was best for the
country, that they should be. They believ
ell the election of Taylor, if nominated,
morally certain, while the chance of sue
cess with ans other candidate was at best
doubtful; aud they said: & Why not take
the half-loaf rather than run the risk of no
bread: Taylor IS not all we could wish,
but be is an honest mar Of fair abilities ard
sound principles. and be win give us sub
stantiaily Wing Administration and leave
the question of Slavery Extension 10 the
unfettered action Of Congress, a he ought
And Is 1t not bel,er 10 take him than haz-
ard the election Of CaSs!'' We do not de-
~ the plauSibility OF this train Of reasoning,
though we insist that the opposing eonsid-
erations are stronger, nobleT, and more en-
auring.-N. Y. T115uae,

Another difficulty in China.

The New York Evening Post has been
furnished with. copy OF the f" Friend OF
China,n dated March 22d.
The new Governor, Mr.. Bonham, had
arrived at Canton on the previous Monday,
and was received by Sir John Davis and his
officers with the usual honors. Much good,
il is hoped, will result from this rule.
On the Sth, three Missionaries, Messrs.
Medhurst, Lockhart and Murhead, went on
a Journey TO Tsing-poo, about twenty-seven
miles from Shanghai, to distribute tracts,
and while doing so were molested by par
~ of grain junk men, and after they left
'I'sipg-poo on their return, by another party
of iunkmen, armed with poles, crow bars,
swords, and other weapons, and one OF
them with heavy iron chain. Having
overtaken the Missionaries, they fell upon
them furiousiy, whereupon Messrs. Med
hurst and Muirhead ran for their lives, but
Mr.. Lockhart was thrown down and badly
beaten by the fellow who carried the chain.
His two companions, after running some
distance, and finding him absent, returned
to his rescue, but before they reached hum
he had succeeded in getting upon his feet,
and ran. The pursuit was renewed Tor some
miles, and being overtaken again the party
were much maltreated.
Whilst warding off the blows as well as
he could, MIR. Medhurst was struck from
behind with the butt end of a toothed hoe,
the blow of which Immediately stunned
him, and he fell fat on the ground; the by
ISLANDERS then came up and struck him
number of times, whilst lying on his face;
amongst the rest, one gave him a severe
blow with a sword on the side OF the knee.
The other Missionaries were equally III
treated, MIR. Muirhead being so much beat
about the legs that he was scarcely able TO
walk. and Mr.. Lockhart received a severe
wound on the back of the head, which bled
profusely.
The marauders, having beaten the unfor-
tunate men 10 their satisfaction, proceeded
to plumber them, and this done, they were
ordered back to the city, repeated blows be-
ing given on any Indication of unwIlingness
10 proceed. As they urged them along they
declared they would not let them go under
5000 dollars a head, but on nearing the city,
all of them SUNK away, their places being
supplied by officers of the city, by whom
they were conducted before a magistrate,
who received them kindly, promised repair
alton and gave them an escort home.
These junk-men are portion OF class
who have, by recent change in the mode
of transporting the tribute grain to PekIn,
been thrown out of employment; and they
have resorted TO plumber to sustain them
selves, as well as to intimidate the govern
meut.
The British Consul at Shanghai has taken
MP the matter officially and will investigate
it thoroughly. He has issued the following
proclamation in relation to it:

were wealthy planters at ST. Pierre, and have been

board at night, and were kindly received by Capt.
Webster, who determined 10 protect them at all
hazards. the blacks having manifested a design to
attack his ship for having given them succor.-
This sudden calamity has made the unfortunate
fugliives penniess.
We hear that the blacks were continuing their
massacTes and ravages and all who could were flee
ing from the island. Many had gone to New Or
leans. and IN some instances captains of vessels ly-
ing in port had denied shelter to the wretched iu-
gtlyes under fear Of being attacked by the rebels
In one instance thrly-slX persons, including wo-
men and children, were driven into house and
burnt To death, fire having been applied TO the
building.
The new Governor of the island was daily ey-
peced To arrive from France, and perhaps his pre-.
sence may occasion favorable alteration in the
Iamentable state OF affairs. Business Of all kind,
