THE REVOLUTION IN CHINA.

The rebellion against the present Chinese Gov
ernment, which has now assumed the formidable
aspect and tendency of revolution, is not of very
recent origin, although it is but short time since
the attention OF the nations of the west has been
drawn towards it, The time when it began is un-
known, and the circumstances of its origin are
equally obscure. Enough, however, has come to
light to make it evident that its prominent purpose
is to overthrow the present Mantchoo Tartar dy-
nasty, which has ruled the empire between two and
three centuries. If we imagine the Hindoos rising
in insurrection to expel the British from their do
minions in the East we shall have something like q
parallel case.
The progress Of the rebels appears to have been
every where successful At the latest dates it was
believed that they had made themselves masters of
Nankin. If such be the case, the surrender Of the
capital cannot be far off Nankin commands the
internal commerce Of China; by the Qreat navignble
river of Yang Use Kiang snd Ahc great canal lead
ing from that oisy to Prkfng 1t is by this canal
that the capital receives its supplies corn and salt,
well as the revenues from the southern provinces,
which are generally paid in the produce of the
try. An army in permanent possession of such a
point has Pekin at its mercy, and when this city
falls the Tartar Government of China is at an end.
The recent proclamation of the Emperor shows his
utterly desperate condition We may soon expect
to hear of his flight northward across the great wall
China once revolutionized, will not be easily re-
organized and quietly settled under new Gov
ernment There will be a continuance Of disorder
for many years, with a corresponding disturbance
and interruption of trade. To look upon the matter
merely in an economical relation, the change now
likely to take place in that country is that must
materially affect the commercial interests of the
tions carrying trade there. Great Britain has
5000, 100000 engaged in traffic with China. The

Sl2 600 900 from the opium raised in British India

these statistical facts that the commercial intercourse

SETTLING PRE-EMrTIoS RIGHT.-As the West New
ton passed Traverse des Sioux Tuesday morning the
puace were excitement The and subsequent
proceedings nearly could gather from the best
| authority we're briefly as follows:
A man named Star had made bona fde claim last
year and afterwards went below, where he detained
by sickness until recently. During the winter his claim
was "iumped" by two brothers named Kingsley. On
Monday last STAR backed by large majority Of the set
tiers proceeded to demand evacuation of his caim
when he fred upon by one Of the Kingsleyshe full
charge Of shot from gun striking him in the abdomen
but It thought not mortaly wounding him. The set
tiers then turned out surrounded the Kingsley
cabin took them prisoners, and burnt the house They
held their prisoners until nine ten o'clock in the
evening waiting for the West Newton TO come down. that
they night send them to St. Paul to be lodged in jail
The boat not appearing the evaporation Of the crowd
increased to such pitch that their victims were tied up
and ynched till they begged to be shot as relief to their
torture They let off with the understanding that
they would leave the place forthwith. We deeply depre-
the prossed apparent necessity for these scenes OF
violence and hope Traverse friends will hereafter be
able settle their neigborhood difficulties according TO
