INDIA AND CHINA.
From China the news is unimportant The
insurgents in the Kwangsi provinces were still
in force, and preparations were actively carried
on at Canton against them. As many rs 5000
men (says the Friend Of China have been seen
to pass up the river in boats, all accoutred for
immediate action. They appear to be levies
from the northeast coast, speaking an entirely
different dialect from that spoken by the Canton
people.
We have well authenticated rumors, also, Of
a serious rising in the western districts of the
Kwangsung province. II is now some time since
a report reached us that the insurgents, in order
to keep up communication with the seaboard,
had attacked Keuchau.tu, departmental city,
on the bank of river about thirty miles from
the boundaries ofKwangsi, and midway between
them and the sea; and some of our Hong Kong
spectators, we ore told, have already sent emis-
saries down there for the purpose of buying live
stock, vegetables, and other plumber cheap.
The Times correspondent at Hong Kong
writes, May gath:
The annual competition for prizes at Canton
by about 5000 of literdt occasions there mt pre-
sent considerable excitement.
Prices for imports had receded. In tea some
business had been done both for England and
America. ,@

yond the 7th Of May. The import market was
dull and the exports little doing. The silk sea.
son was considered as nearly closed There
would be no further direct shipments to Great
Britain.
The total export from China to date is close
upon 10000 bales and 200 cases. OF tea to
Great Britain, the export to date may be estimated
at about 6l,500,0O0lb. Tonnage is abundant,
and, with the numerous arrivals, likely TO con-
tinue so. The Der of American clipper ves-
sells is on the increase, and some are expected
here after reaping the benefit of splendid freights
on an American coasting voyage from the United
States, round Cape Horn to California. Present
