whom the defalcation in the produce of copper
was partly owing, and whose conduct in great
measure contributed to bring on the insurrec-
ton. Lin himself acted with great cruelty through
out the campaign, burning and pundering, and
committing other excesses but the man who
can bring forward such accusations against the
Leader OF a strong party, must be bold indeed
The Board of Punishments which reported on
these accusations, remarked that there was not suf-
hclent grounds Tor bringing the Governor to trial,
and that most of the abuses complained of took
place under his predecessor. To crown the whole,
the Emperor confirmed to Lin the title of guardian
to the heir apparent, made him retain HIS peacock's
feather, and appointed him commissioner for the
the investigation Of the complaints. He is not
likely to condemn himself, and will, no doubt, ma
mage to prove himself entirely innocent. Being far
above embezzlement, and having no love of money,
we believe HIM TO be innocent OF the charge oi
connivlng with his relative in approprlating the
character causes him to commit he most unheard-
OF crueltes, and the accusation IN that respect is
very probably true. His nephew has frequently
been described as an unworthy officer; and il
would have been his duty, according to law, to re,
tire from employ the moment his uncle assumed
the command but this he did not do, and has
therefore committed breach of the regulations
The msurrechon In Yun-nan appears to have
proved OF longer duration than, Lin anticipated
Some troops were even ordered from kwei-choo
On Lin arriving at the scene of action, more than
three hundred prisoners were presented to him.
whom he considered to be the leaders in the late
of this officer is well known he stops at nothing
to gain his ends, and will commit the greatest afro
cities to satisfy his revenge. The consequences Of
the proceedings of the ruthless Governor must in
the end recoil upon himself, and he may yet have
to pay the forfeit of his severity. The people of
the northwestern districts of Yun-nan are not Chi
nese, but hardy mountalneers, who have little to
lose, and are secure IN their businesses against the
indscrninate slaughter of SO many of their friends,
but may be expected to take ample vengeance on
the perpetrators OF the deed.

the holidays the colonial and foreign produce markets

shown rmness and in few instances have lower prices
been submitted to.

The Corn Trade of Europe.
From the London Mercantile Gazette, April l3
The certainty that has been commenced between
the Danes and the Prussans and the possibility OF the
struggle being proracted have had the effect OF pro-
ducing some excitement in the grain trade The north
Of Europe is the quarter from whence Great Britain
usually receives the principal portion Of her foreign
supplies Of corn; aNd it from thence the bulk OF
the arrivals expected this summer The blockade
of the Baltic ports, the rivers Ebe, Weser &c, by the
Danish fleet IL continued and carried out vigorously
would therefore have the effect of cutting off the prn
cipal Of supplies and it Is not surprising
that the probability OF such occurrence should hav
