were bound Great Britain closely by the ties OF
blood and the traditions of common ancestry they

countries was, comparatively speaking small, and the
British press and the British in their
timents and policy towards the United States were

THE MISSION TO CHINA.

II is understood that the Earl Of Egn has been ap.
pointed by Great Britain TO proceed to China as minister
penpoentary Of the British government Although the
ministers of her Majesty have justified the aio proceedings
of the British ccers in China they yet seem to have
thought it wise avail themselves OF the skill and expert
ence of Lord E'gn in that country.
Many of the public journals anticipate the appointment
of similar funconay by the of the United
States Some of them have gone far as to state
that the position has been offered 10 certain persons and
declined We have no idea that there Ia any iounda-
ton FIR such statement; and without protesting to
know what may DO the course Of the administration
on this subject we may properly add that it ia po-
siton of SO great Importance to invite 10 the most
distinguished ability OF the Union. The distance of China
from our country the length OF time required to reach it
or to hear from it, the responsibilities devoived thus upon
our minister from necessity, well those devolved
upon him by the treaty by the pecaartes of the Chinese
and by our large interests there 1t desirable that be

GREAT cheering, and she Immediately became
tbe first favorite in the betting for the Cam
bridgeshire stakes, to be run for at New Mar
ket on the 9th of October. Before the race
one hundred to one was laid against Prioress.
The American horse Lecomte died from an
attack of cholic. Pryor had been stricken
out of all his engagements for the present
year.
Later dates from India have been received
at London by telegraph from the overland
mail. The Calcutta dates are to the 10th,
and from Bombay to the 18th of September.
The siege train was expected to reach Delhi
on the Sd of September, when the assault
would be commenced.
The Indian dispatches state that Gen. Mich
olson had defeated the rebels near Najafghar,
yr;tb the loss of three guns. Gen. Hayelock
had also defeated the rebels near Bithour, on
the 10th of August. The garrison at Luck
row had made gallant and successful sortie,
capturing the guns of the mutIneers, and also
a sunply of provisions. The Dinapore mutt
neers had been again defeated by Major Eyre.
The rebels were threatening Allahabad and
Benares. Large bodies of troopswere march
inc from Calcutta toward Allahabad. Troops
we're also arriving at Calcutta from England,
their transport having been effected with great
anidtv. A dispatch to the London Post

been compelled finally to abandon was also
recovered lie was accordingly brought back
to be again lodged in Jail, but ere he could
reach that sanctuary, crowd of excited per-
sons, as soon as the wagon upon which he
was conveyed in charge of the persons who
had arrested him, reached the centre OF cur
town, mounted the vehicle with rope decla-
ring their intention to hang the prisoner with
out further ceremony. BY the exertions OF
our citizens however they were induced to
desist in case he would make confession,
and give the names of his accomplices. This
the fellow proceeded to do as well as his fright
would permit him, and implicated several cit
izens of our county, several of whom have
been arrested and some of them committed
for trial.
Of one thing there seems be but little doubt.
Our county is evidently infested with a gang
of depredators who are engaged in all kinds
of lawless and criminal occupations, and
whom it seemed impossible to detect, although
everybody was aware of its existence We
hope that the late incidents may be the means
of its being broken up and its members
brought to punishment or compelled to leave
the country entirely. We regret to see the
tendency ofo usually orderly and quiet COM
munity towards Lynch law, the worst species
OF lawlessness in existence. Our laws are
both wholesome and efficient, if properly ad-
mlnistered, and the people should rest salts
fed with their action.

August last, at p. m, cloud of a singular
yellowlsh appearance arose in the north, near
the village of Manhattan. and soon the storm
burst upon the inhabitants. 1t was neither
RAIN, hail or snow, but grasshoppers, and in
about ten minutes the ground was covered
with them. They came in droves, and struck
the houses like large hail stones Soon the
ground was strewn with corn leaves and ears.
some OF which, two inches through, were eat
en- off half their length, some with the husks
and corn trimmed as with knife, leaving the
bare cob standing Two and half acres Of
buckwheat, three acres of turnips, watermel-
ems and all vines on which they feed, were
eaten up, except those on the south side of
piece OF miliet. In fact, they cleared out ev-
cry crop except sugar cane. There was a
held OF sugar cane with corn on both sides of
1t; the corn was taken and the cane left. The
grasshoppers remained at Manhattan forty
eight hours, and seemed to be travelling
south, stopping there to feed. When they
left they passed over Ogden high in the air
and did not descend The cloud seemed to
be about ten miles wide UaddUa Times.
