China.

The Hon. HUMpHREY MARSHAL has writ
ten letter to the Secretary of State, in
which he gives an account of his interview
with the Viceroy of China. Quite large
crowd attended on the occasion, and they
were all habited in their best attire. The
women wore flowers in their hair, and the
children were clad as if for a gala. The
Viceroy, kinsman of tho Emperor, is quite
an old man, and his form is bent with age.
Mr.. MARSHAL says:
"The country between Shanghai and knOn-
san is vast plain, cultivated as CAREFUL as a
garden. 1t has already produced ono crop this
year, and now maturing the second. In the late
autumn the lands are set in wheat, barley or
millet, and in the spring in vegetables. The
harvest is reapcd abOnt the first Of June, and
then the lands again produce crop of cotton,
rice or teenching, and the vegetables for win
ter use. saw thousands of acres of cotton
rice and tecnching indeed may say the whole
face OF the country was covered with promis
ing crops Of the staples. am trying to learn
the probable annual yield of these crops to
China, but do not know that can succeed

the cotton crop of China is greater than that

Failure of the Protection Insurance
Company.

The Hartford Couram of the 9Th inst.
says:
We regret to be obliged to announce the
failure of the Protection Insurance Company
of this city. The late numerous and devasta-
ting fires, and the great losses which they have
sustained, have compelled them to make an as
signment. The Directors have employed all
the means that lay in their power to avert the
calamity, but their efforts have been unavail-
ing. Persons holding policies in this Compa-
ny will see the necessity of an immediate re-
insurance in some other office

Canton Surrounded by the Rebels.

News is received that Canton, in China,
was surrounded by the rebels, and that the for.

its capture would turn the scale in China
against the regning dyaasty, and that quite a
new order of things would follow in the gov

Disgraceful Outrage at Allegheny City.

deceased sister, who lived in Warrenton, Vir-

my ears, and went in pursuit of the party

forcing them off through the back door of the

look their cash now adays, before they part with

since the extravagant reception of JENNY LIND,
and the numerous musical Adventures who follow in
her wake. The prices of seats three to five dol
lars in Castle Garden. About two thirds were sold
at premiums varying from two shillings TO five dol
lars. The first seat was sold at a premium of $3.50,
after very brisk bidding; but strange to say nothing
like the same alacrty observable in bidding for
the next. bona fide premium was paid, we be-
leve, of twenty dollars 1t is said, however, that
the first sale was actual one, and that the foolish
purchaser was no ambitious Yankee fiddler, but an
English woman who has fallen in love with ARIO,
the tenor, and taken the first seat at all his perform
