From tho New York Express
The latest from China---Hghly Interesting.
We give below series of private telegraphic
despotches received from Trieste, on the ARRIVAL
there; Of the overland mail, by a London mercan
Tile House ofte highest and largely
engaged in the China and India trade. They are
I transmitted to house here IN New York OF equal
respectability, and extensiv t9e same
trade The filsto these despatchesis as follows,
and was addressed to tie London house by their
special correspondent atiTneste:
'From Shaughae have received no letters.

steamers were at that port, but nothing intther

In addition TO these dispatches, we have one
addressed also from Trieste on the arrival of the
mailto another London firm, as follows:
t'The insurgents have taken the exterior walls
of Nankin, and the place must soon fall INTO then
hands. All business is stopped. Sit N. Bonham
i did not lnteTfere.'
1t Is expected that the regular correspondence
by the overland mail would reach LONDON on the
30th of May, in which case more definite lntelli-
gence will doubtless reachsus blythe next steamer
from Liyerpool-the Pacific, Capt. Nye, due here
on Saturday or Sunday.
- New YoRx CHARTER ELEcrloN.-Tne amended
charter of the city of New York carried by a
much larger majority than was reported by the
Telegraph. The vote fer the new charter was
$685. WILTSHIRE vote against it was only 8, sS1-
giving majority exceeding $4,000. The amend
y ments give the Mayrrthe veto power of the Com
mon Council; prohibits the Aldermen sitting as
Judges OF; criminal courts; allows only the more
popular branch of the Common Council to origi-
nate appropriation bills; prohibits the expenditure
of the public money for celebrations except on
established national or State holidays, unless au-
thorlzed by,a' three fourths vote of the Common
Council; prohibits contacts 10 persons in arrears
or default 10 the city; guards against corruption
and bribery by public officers; regulates lease and
sale of public property, and conta other provis
ions, which il faithfully carried out, will put an
end to the reckless expenditure of the public
money, and the official corruption which it is al
cipal administration of that city. saaf-5-

No TIME Losr.-Itis a remarkable fact, in il
lustation of the speed of the Collins line ofsteam-
ers that, by the last trip of the Pacific to Liver
pool, merchants in that city received replies from
their correspondents in New York in the unprece-
dentedly short space of twenty days. The Attain
tic, which arrived at this port on the morning OF
the 18th of May, made the trip in nine days and
twenty-five hours, and some of the commercial ad-
vices which she brought were answered by mer-
chantile houses here in time for the Pacifc's mails
which left at noon of the same day, and which
made the trip 10 Liverpool in nine days and TWEEN
ty-three hours. These two passages, hitherward
and back, having only consumed together nine
teen days and twenty-one hours, merchants in
Liverpool were, as we have said, enabled to re-
ceiye replies 10 their New York correspondence II
twenty days. We believe an instance of the kind
has never occurred in the past history of transit
lanic steamships. It therefore deserves to be pla
ced on fecord.-N. y. Herald, 8th.
HYDRoPuoRlA.-The Cincinnati Nonpariel of The
9th inst, describes a most distressing and fata
| case of this horrid disorder. "About four week:
siuce.'' it says, t'Mr. Joseph Shearer, journey
man tailor, attempted to kill dog attacked by by
drophoba; in SO doing the enraged animal flew vi
and bit him in the face, dreadfully laceratng tn,
flesh. The dog was killed, and Mr.. Shearer con-
veyed to the Commercial Hospital, where, after un
dergoing medical treatment Tor ten or twelve DAYS
he was to all appearances cured, and resumed hi
| business. On Friday last he was attacked with
zall the symptoms of hydrophobia, which continu
/ ed during the day and night and on Saturday morn
/ ing he was secured by chains, and reconveyed tt
the Commercial Hospital. A large number Of ply
/ ansgisited him. and every known treatment ad
+ mlnisteled, but without avail He seemed a
| times rational, but begged in the, most piteou
\ manner to be killed. He fingered on until be
| tween one and two clock in the afternoon, whel
he died in the mostintense agony and suffering.
