CHINA.
HONG kONG Feb. 27.-The Chinese new year ho-
Hdays have passed over quietly. both here and at
Canton. At the latter place matters appear to be
proceeding satisfactorily and the people in the city
and suburbs are seemingly becoming more recon
cled to the presence of foreigners In the country
around Canton. however, the same hostile feeling
as formerly still exists against the foreigners. A
party OF officers had gone into the country short

asked, and some 200 chops Of the two last seasons,

no disposition to make purchases. Lord Elgin has
returned to this place and it is understood will pro-

other powers are to follow There is a sanguine
feeling among many that the demands to be mGde
by the representatives of the four powers will be
acceded to at once by the Emperor. We should be
glad to have any good ground to look for this result
to the expedition.
The China Mail of the 9th February contains the
following intelligence OF interest: From Canton we

A lette~ from Rome, il the UIdrers, contains the
following extraordinary tale:
In the cathedral of Nelletri near Rome, was an

dccked out with necklaces, rings and jewery, and
it was held in great veneration by the people In
the Holy Week, it was, according to custom,
screened from view by curtain, and, on Holy
Thursday, some person contrived to steal it. On
Good Friday, the archpricst OF the cathedral re-
