AMERICAN CITIZENs IN CKINA.--Hon.
Humphrey Marshall, our commissioner
in hina, in answer to an enquiry from
Messrs. Smith, King g. Co., American
Merchants at Shanghai, as to whether,
in the event Of American property being
DESTROYED or u undered by the rsheis, we
should be enabled, through the Un'ted
States Government, to receive the value
thereot,2 replies, that though the inter-
coarse between the United States and
CHINA furnishes no precedent tar eslab-
fishing the practice, III such cases as the
treaty Of "Whang II az" assures the
citizen resident in China, If peaceaby at
tending TO hiS affairs, the special protec-
ton of the Government In default OF
such protection, Mr.. Marshall adds, the
Chinese Government must become re-
sponsih for whatever loss such citizen
may sustain by lawiess violence, for want
OF adequate proection. Also, mat should
the Chinese public authority announce 70
that OF the United States, IN advane OF
threatened danger, that Chiua Is unable
70 comply with the stIpulatiunS ot the
18th article of the tfeaty, the proper
authority of the United States v"ald pro
ttst such declaration, and the United
States WOULD take measures to extend t."
ITS citizens the protection Ch'na tails t."
afford; but ut the same time would hold
the Government Of hina resl,onsiblr for
any losses said cirizens might incur by
ner failure to observe the ttFfns OF the
treaty. Mr.. Marshall adds,
~ he conmotion which now agltates
China is "a mixed war'-a contest be-
tween Il government and its subjects
with which the American citizens in China
nave no concern. There has been no
hec aration Of war, which they would, rs
merchants, be bound to rotice in case OF
public war;" Baltimore Sun.

formed that there had IA Cninauau died
on Monday last. the 26th inst, by wounds
received from the Tax Collectors III the
affray of the Saturday evening previous
1t was reported that his sku ! was smash
ed, etc. Upon this information ! im'nr-
diately summoned Coroner's Jury, Snd
also Drs. Harper and Reed to hold post
niortem examination on the body The
body was eXhu,ned aud on opening The
coffin what was our astonIshTent to find
"a corpse in such an advanced stage OF de-
composition that it was obvious that the
same must have been dead at least one
month. The stencil was suffocatIng, ana
when the coffin WAS taken from the grave
the deromposed matter ooZed out of it.
1t was difficult to get any one near the
corpse. he head of the deceased was
examined by the physicians and declared
unInj jured, and they gave it as their opin-
ion that the Chinanlan must have been
dead II much longer time than that of
the affray of Saturday evening last. DR..
Reed thought he must have been dead at
least one month. Such Was my own Opn-
ion, and | think the opinion of mos, of
those present \ccordngly | discharged
the jury at once, rs identify ing the body
was utterly impoSsibe.
This is the only Chnan,an that has
