F" We still lying here, and with every prospect o.

the general opinion among the naval officers here that
we will not sail for Loo Choo and Japan until some time
in January.
The United States ship Lexington has not yet made
her appearance although daily looking for her
she was reported by the Sea Witch which vessel came in
day before yesterday. n
BY the arvaIof the steamer from Shanghai we hear
that the Emperor of Japan is dead and that no inter-
course would be held with any foreign naen for three
years If this be true, it is news indeed but Perry will
go there anyhow.
" The United States soop-of-war Plymouth has also
arrived from Loo Choo. While she lay anchor in Port
Loydds (Bonn Isands) she encountered dreadful ty-
phoon during which she had four anchors down. and then
dragged into three and half fathoms water Just be-
fore the gale commenced Mr.. MATTHEWS, one Of her
Heuenants was out IN boat accompanied by fourteen
men, on fishing party. They were all blown off, and,

LATE FROM CHINA.
vRos THE HONG KoSa REGISTER or DECEMBER 10. :

YRos THE HONG REGISTER OF DECEMBER 10.
Our budget of news for the present mail does not
contain what many of our foreign readers might
expect TO see in it, account of the overthrow Of
the dynasty which has ruled China for over two
centuries The rebel army, it is said, is within
one hundred miles of Pekin and there Thae-ping-
wang has to win crown or to lose his head. Other
matters are but of local interest and are comprised
in the following headings:
Our last from Shanghai reports thatthings are
remaining in the same position. The rebels in pos
session of Shanghai not -wangs followers
they are confirmed opium smokers and doators and yet
they seem to have gained the sympathy of large
ton Of the foreign community. The great point seems
to be that before foreign sympathy be called forth
there must be rebel to do it, matter what his opn-
ions are. +,."
The death Of the temporal EMpERoR OF JAPAN
to have taken place lately the having been brought
to Shanghai by the Russian feet which has been visiting
Japan. 1t hardly be looked upon of much conse-
quence except by those people who desire to attach
duemportance to every pay event in the present
Of affairs in China, and in regard to the proceedings
of the American squadron Not being very well versed
in the more than doubtful history Of Japan cannot
speak with certainty but if recollection u.s.
the temporal Emperor is mere puppet, the real power
in oil things vesting with the spiritual sovereign.
great many acts of piracy have been committed Of
late and the pirates have even become bold to at
tack square-rgged vessels. The John ~ Gossier, an
American ship of FIVE hundred and fifty TONS from San
Francisco, while outside Of the harbor attacked by
unks which doubtless would have succeeded capturing
the vessel had she had only her on board, but
addition there were number Of Chinese passengers,
some Of whom seizng the ships muskets, and others
producing their revosvers, drove off the assalants.
The interest in the rebellion is concentrated on the
army advancing towards Pekn and of this nothing
known with certainty except that it is somewhere in
Chihl the province in which Pekn situated. All else
at present is mere conjecture or fable.
Our latest dates from Annoy inform that the saugh
ter and decapations stayed at the earnest request Of
H. NJ Consul and the active exertions Of the off,
GERS and men of H. NJ vessels Of war; from being carried
on before the foreign factories being proceeded with
at other parts of the city Several of the leading rebels
had been captured with their wives and families and the
mperalists melting out to them what Thae-ping wang
and his followers had melted the Tartars and their
families at Chinkiangfoo, had decapitated men, women
and children placing their heads bloody trophies on
the walls Of the city The fact that such indscrimnat
ing bloodshed is going around is narrowing in the
extreme; but who hold the balance of his judg-
men so fairly that he with clear nscience
pend his pity on but one of the suffering parties?
