INTERESTING FROM CHINA.-A letter in the
Journal of Commerce dated Macao. Jan. %
snys that the Cantonese (Chinese) commute
their losses in houses, go-downs, shops &c.
at over 1000 buildings-up to date and in
merchandise, and the value of the above prop
erty, they state their losses at II, OO0, 600 of
dollars which is PROBABLY not far from the
truth. 1t is fair to suppose the Chinese do
not overestimate the loss in life, when they
state 1t at 70,OOO-of all ages and sexes-the
bombardment of the city by the English hav-
ing been kept up for nearly two months.
The poisoning scheme at Hong Kong affect
ed over 400 persons, but it is not ascertained
that single person died. The quantity of
arsenic was too large.
Slnee Then, an other attempt has been
made, but on much more moderate scale.
through poisoned oranges, quantity of which
(aoout 1000 IN number was introduced into
the colony. 1t failed, however, as too little
ofthe poison had been absorbed by the fruit.
although two deaths took place, and they Chi.
nese. The Chinese have a method of no;son.
ing oranges-by piercing them in the first in
stance with minute holes, and then placing
them over the yapor OF the poisonous SUBJ
stance, which they they then cause them to
inhale.
Attempts have also been made to fire the
settlement. That the Chinese are subtle
enough to create some great catastrophe. is
well known, but how or when, no one can
divine. The consequence is, that the whole
cammunity is living in state of complete
and most painful anxiety.
At Macao, oil is in the most perfect peace
and security. The Portuguese, who have held
this place now more than 300 years, know
the Chinese people well. Offoreigners, there
are about 20 Americans here, including wo-
wen and children; of English, not probably
more than II or Is in all of Spanish, French
and German, and European Portuguese, not
including the garrison and naval force, there
may be about about hundred. The defens-
es OF the place aie several judlciously placed
forts, all built over 20 years ago, about 300
artillerymen, a ig-ol- war Of l6 guns, and an
armed lorcha Of six.

DOMESTIC TRAGEDY IN KENTUCKY In
Bullet county. on Thursday, I'd inst, Julius
Bukey, respectable old man, shot his daugh.
ter, seventeen years old, and then shot him
self. She was enamored Of young man
whom he disliked, and as he supposed, from
her saying that she was going out to spend
the evening, that size was about to clone. he
refused to let her leave the house. Angry
words ensued, and, in the heat of passion, he
first struck her, and then drew revolver and
shot her twice, both shots taking effect. The
unfortunate girl fell dead at his feet, in the
presence Of her mother. The wretched man
rushed from the house, with the fatal weapon
in his hand, pursued by son. He tried to
seize his fathers arm to wrench the pistol from
him, but he euded his grasp, and after re-
treating few steps, placed the pistol 10 his
own head and blew his brains out.

To THE PUBLIc.-The undersigned Juror in
the late capital trial of Niece deems it duty he
owes to the public ond to himself, to make the
following statement IN relation to said caae, and
Of his position, as juror at said trial.
lst The opinions which hold in relation to
capital punishment are not such as would prevent
me from agreeing to a verdict of 6 Guilty . in the
case of person on trial for a capital offence.
I'd. From the evidence at the late trial on the
point of the insanity of the said McGee, / was
fully OF the opinion, that he, at the time Of the
murder, acted under delusoa strong enough to
constitute insanity, aud not, therefore, legal
ly responsible for the act.
The extraordinary statement signed by the 9TH
er eleven jurors, addressed to the Attorney Cen
eral, wherein it differs from the above and where
in it states had made up my mind before the
evidence all in, is not true. JOHN FRNNo.

From WAsHINeToN.-[N N. Y. Herald cores
pondence. j Washington. April 81 learn,
to-day, from good authority, that abe present
administration does not entirely agree with
the preceding one in their views respecting
the proposed chanhe in naval warfare. In
addition to the abolition of the right to cap
ture merchant ships by public armed vessels,
as well as by privateers, as laid down in Sc
cretary Marcy's letter upon privateering, it is
supposed that our government will insist upon
the abolition of bloekades. L learn, also, that
letters have been written to our ministers
abroad to suspend further action on this mat
ter until they receive further instructions.
Advices received here from England by the
late steamer, state that it is the intention of
the British government to take possession Of
the Island Of Formosa, off the coast of China.

The REPUBLICANS OF MAssAoHUsETTs.-Th
BERKSHIRE County Eagle, in an excellent article
showing up the 'retrenchment clubs" which are
being formed In the Western part of the State,
under management of I. F. Plunket and other
Democratic leaders, justly remarks that "the Re-
publican party of the State, with no completely
in past extravaganza, stands fully committed to
future economy. II will soon speak, we doubt
not, even more explicitly, and when the proper
time comes it will nominate men for the State Of
fees whose integrity and ability above suspic-
ion. When it fails to do So II will be time enough
to resort to more doubtful expedients, and dis
turb that great organization upon which rests the
hope Of constitutional liberty. Even in the pres
ent Legslature-unfortunats as is the notion Of
many members, that the peculiar combination by
which they were elected lays them under obliga-
tions to sort Of neutrality--we trust that suf.
fcient number Of men will be found to come out
boldly and array themselves distinctly against the
encroachments Of slavery on the national govern
ment, and the inroads Of jobbers and pluralists
upon the State Treasury Should this not prove
the case, however. the Republican party is not
responsible for those who acknowledge only the
half Of a divided allegiance to it. We trust tina,
they will inquire, not what party, but what their
constituents demand. We ask nothing more to
insure the success Of our creed"
The Eagle further remarks, " Our advice to our
friends is 70 adhere strictly 70 the great Organiza.
tiOn which has with so mush labor been reared as
bulwatk against slave dominion, and which the
enemies Of freedom seek insiduously to under.
mine When il shall show itself corrupt in State
matters, II will be time to abandon it for nsV and
ephemeral combinations.p

REDUCTION OF FARE.-We learn that the Nor
wch steamboat line will lower their fare between
Boston and New York to "a, and the freight to 5
cents per cubic foot-to commence on the 18th
inst. The superior accommodations of this line
OF travel between New York and Boston, have
made it deservedly popular with the travelling
public. Between Allyn's Point and New York,
the splendid steamers Commonwealth +" and
Connecticut" run each day on alternate days.
The cars are spacious and comfortable, the con-
ductors afable and polite, and the captains of
both boats are men of large experience, having
nayigated the Sound from boyhood For real
comfort in travel between the two cities, there is
nothing to compare with the Norwich route.

ted, OF the strongest possible character. We are
unable to arrive at such a conclusion. The belief
in his guilt, we may safely say, is more general
since the trial than before, for few knew what the
evidence could believe him guilty Moth.
ing but evidence Of innocence of a positive char
acter can now remove from the minds Of MANY.
whose opinions worthy of respect the unfa-
vorable impression which has been made BY the
testimony. Under such circumstances, Mr.. Kali
loch ought to withdraw entirely from the minis
try Personal friends may rally around him, and
very large portion, perhaps a majority of the
public, may still regard him as innocent But
his influence as minister is gone, and cannot be
revived unless this dark cloud is scattered. His
presence in the pulpit would be continued re-
proach to the cause of religion. The interests of
the church and the good of society imperatlvely
demand his withdrawal, while such step would
be no concession of guilt. We trust that no in
judicious counsels will be suffered to outweigh
the dictates of proprety and sound discretion"
