pretty much confined to the European details
per the steamer North Star. The London pa
pers are filed with financial reviews and dis
q~usitions on the origin and philosophy of the
recent great reyulsion which has swept like the
pestiIence at noon day, over the civilized world.
The news, compared with what it has been for
some weeks back, is unimportant, save perhaps
in the case of China. Il seems to be well settled
that an attack, and il needs be a demolition,
will be attempted on Canton. The announce
ment We published yesterday. it will be remeni-
bered, stated that the Admiral was with the
whole available force to move up to Canton on
the 3Ist of Oct, and it is said, that the French
forces would cooperate; indeed, it was thought
that the Russian Admiral Pontiatine would also
offer his aid: TO convince the Court at Pekin that
the "barbarians'' are not only in earnest, but
acting in unison. So by and by, and soon, too,
we are to be let into the secrets Of the mysteri-
Gus empire of.the CelestiaIs. The old idea Of
the Star Of Empire moving westward, seems re-
versed, aud the "barbarians' Of Western Eu-
rope are, like the hordes of Scylla, to move down
upon the superstitions and corruptiOns Of the
superannuated East. The East, the 'clime of

boyhood and manhood and haunted him even
in death. So England, !now, as then, the rival
Of continental Europe, secs her destiny upon
the plains OF Hindostan and among the effemi-
mated and enasculated Chinese. There appears
to be no way of approaching the Chinese by
treaty and civilized negotiation, any more than
there was for Columbus to have exchanged pa
pers with the Indians away back in 1892. They
are a slippery, cowardly, stupid people, grossly
beSOItcd in ignorance, and as near total heredi-
tary uselessness as could be well imagined
They cumber the ground, keep the world tagging
back on their account, and all for whaty Why,
that "pig tailed John Cinnamon may furnish
tea and get gold, furnish silk and get gold, fur
nish chiua.ware and get gold: get gold for
everything and then horde it and store it away,
dead to all the uses of the outer world.
FnoM INDIA-thc details are more confirma-
tory Of previous news than otherwise, and not,
per Sc, very important. The English are not
secure yet in the quash which they have effect
ed of the outbreak. The London Times says
eThe insurrection has been suppressed in eve
~ part Of India except 4 certain district on the
Upper Ganges. Hithcr the mutineers are flock
ing from every quarter, and while they think
they are gaining strength by uniting their forces
they arc in realty assuring to us a more rapid
and easy victory. Henccforth the public will
have to follow the narrative Of an Indian war,
like the other wars which have gone before it.
Some 10000 Asiatics hold the kingdom Of Dude.
This kingdom we have to conquer as ifit had
been till now perfectly independent. How long
it will take to accomplish this we may judge
from the history of former wars. The hostile
force now risen up against us is not more for
midablc than the Sikhs or Mahrattas, and will
be as easily crushed. When 10000 more Eu-
rOpcans are brought into the country the work
is done2
