FROM. CHINA.

The EMPEROR OF CHINA died on the 25ih of Feb
ruary. He is succeeded by his fourth son, the
eldest survivor, youth nineteen years old, who
will reign under the title Of SEEING. The Over
land Register remarks that the legalization Of the
sale of opium, both as source of revenue in help
ing the new Government through its formidable
financial difficulties, and towards settling a long
vexed and dangerous question, will probably be
one of the first measures submitted to the new
sovereign.
Another incident mentioned is the capture Of
three piratical vessels by her Majesty's steamer
Reynard on the 23d instant 1t occurred at the
entrance of the hay, and within sight Of the west
ern point of the city of Victoria. Three unks and
fourteen prisoners were brought in.
Two trading steamers. one English the other
American, have been prohibited from carrying cargo
into Canton river. This is looked upon by the
representatives of both Powers as breach of treaty
on the part of the Chinese authorities and pending
the settlement Of the question the two steamers
lying on demurrage.

We learn from authentic sources that all ques.
tons relating TO the Contoy prisoners at Havana
will be referred to Washington, to be adjusted be.
tween Mr.. CLAYTON and Senior de CALDERoN. The
Captain General of Cuba has no diplomatic powers,
and can conduct no negotiations. A good under
standing exists between the Count of ALcoY and
Mr.. CAMPBELL, our Consul, and the whole subject
has been discussed personally, with candor.
Captain TATTNALL, of the steamer Ssranac, re-
ports officially that tranquility prevails at Havana
The Contoy and Woman's Island prisoners had been
conducted in open court, after preliminary examine
ton. Capt. TArTNALL took Collector DOUGLASS
and Judge MARVIN from Key West to Havana, to
attend the trial of the prisoners and establish their
innocence. Our officers were received courteous.
y, and Senior ALcoY admits the distinction in favor
of the prisoners not taken in the Of INVASION and
will abide Senior de CALDERoN's decision.
