Letters from Canton give some additional detaih
Of the bombardmsnt Of Canton, and it appears from
these accounts that some Americans there haVa
been mixing themselves up 10 this English guar.
rel in . very improper manner. lt is SAID By
correspondent of the New York Times that our
Consul at Hong Knog, Mr.. Keenan,, when the
British made the attack on the walls Of Canton,
joined in the ARRAY taking with him an American
seaman belong to the LsVsut, and bore with him
an American flag, which WAS publicly displayed
within the walls Of Canton. Several other Ameri.
can citizens also accompanied the expedition and
joined very improperly IN the pilsge Of the Cover
noF's palace The display of our flag was 90 public
and apparently committed US so fully against the
Chinese that Capt Foots felt himself compelled TO
disown the &C: and forbid its recurrence. The
American residents very generally regret the com
promise which our neutrality hss suffered oy this
very injudicions act on the part Of Gen. Keenan,,
and wholly approve Of Capt. Foote's dissvowaL-
The house of Russell & Co, are said however to
have entered formal protest against al the pro-
eeedhgs Of the English Admiral, and declare that
they shall hold the British Government responsible
for any damage they may sustain in consequence
Of the attack upon the city. During the hght the
house of the Rev. J. B. French, an American
missionary, set on FIRE and destroyed. 1t is not
surprising, after display Of the American Hsg IN
actual hostilities against the Chinese that vessel
sailing under that fsg should have been fred at
The conduct Of some of our Oonsuls abroad is eX-
ceedingly reprehensible, if not disgraeeful and
frequently compromises the good faith and rePuta-
ton of our Government

ed upon him the compliments which he now says
are due to correspondent. In his case, it is fair

so eagerly awaited by the scholars and literary
men Of the country, hiss at last been so far COM
peted, that the work Of electrotypirg it has been
commenced in Boston, and its publication will be
fastened with all he speed that may be consistent
with correctness and proper care and revision
During the past four years its indestigsble author
has been laboriously at work in its preparation,
aided by corps Of gentlemen distinguished by
their erudition and literary taste. 1t is estimated
that the new dictionary viii contain upwards Of
ten thousand WORDS with their definitions, pronun-
citation, origin, &C., which are to be found in 10
other lexicon of the English language. These are
to great extent scientific, technical and artistic
terms, many of which have cone into existence
with the discoveries they denote or explain.

cipes Of chemistry; why should not the same at

solid sustenance? The best works on cookery

THE SUPPLY OF GoLD.-T supply Of gold is 90
great at the present time that Dothiug but tie
most reckless speculations could have produced
that panic which we now observe in Paris and the
other European money markets. The crop of gold
was never more luxuriHnt than at this very mo-
ment. Russia raises four millions Of gold annually
in the Ursl mountains; California since the gold
discoveries in l848 has produced sixy.four
Millions and in the last four or Eve years nearly
forty.two millions have been obtained in Australia,
and yet gold, Oy which we regulate our issues Of
of paper money, is as much an object of
anxiety and alarm to the merchant and broker as
it was before these enormous masses of suriferous
wealth found their way into the world. Before
1851 the London Mint coined gold at the rate of
one to four millions year. In the Eve year end
ng 1855 it coined gold at the rate or nearly eight
millions year. In France the changeis equally
remarkable. In the four years ending 1861 the
coinage Of gold in that country was about two
thirds OF q million annually. It is now more than
ten millions annually.
Such an amount of coinage should supply the
world with all the half eagles and soVereigns that
it can possibly want Il should do this, but it
does not The want Of coin is greater in France
to-day than it was before the discovery Of the
inezhaustible gold mines Of California and Austria
