THE WAR IN CHISA.-Thc Intelligence OF
the movements OF the allied squadrons on the
coast OF China, is of the utmost Importance.
On the Doth of May, the French and English
vessels attacked the forts defending the
trance of the Pei-ho, and after 4 severe con-
flict captured them, thus opening the passage
TO the capital of the Chinese Empire. The
forts were four in number, mounting in all,
according to the telegram, one hundred and
thirty eight guns, although previous informa-
lion had fixed the number at seventy-nine.
well armed and defended. Indeed, all the de-
fences were overcrowded with troops. In adj
1iition to these artificial advantages was a ma
tural one in the form of a sand-bar, stretch
ing across the mouth of the river, 4 mile in
breadth, and seldom affording more than two
or three feet OF water. What with the gun
boats however, and the courage of the Eng
dish, and daring bravery OF the French, all the
forts werc promptly taken, Notwithstanding
the hard ihood of the native soldiery in their
defence. 1t is now understood that the allied
notilla will at once advance towards Pckin,
doubtless anticipating that its approach viii
be prevented by the submission of the Emper-
or. The distance from the discharge OF the
Pei-ho to the Capital is variousy stated at
from one hundred TO one hundred and forty
miles.

SCHOOL EXHIBITION AND PIC-NIU.-On last
Saturday afternoon, the school in Lawrence
township under the charge of Miss Kelsey,
had public exhibition in the grove above our
town. The exercises were of an interesting
character. After an address TO the throne OF
grace, the scholars went through their various
performances, which were highly crcdtable TO
both scholars and teachers. Rev. DIR. Mel Leod
then made some very appropriate and interest
ing remarks, and was followed by H. B.
Swoopc, Esq, who alluded to the laying of
the Atlantic telegraph cable as an evidence of
the rapid progress of enlightenment in the
present age, and the consequent necessity of a
more thorough education of our youth. After
the exercises were concluded, an excellent
dinner was spread, to which ample justice was
done-and then all had ga good timc'' gem

A FA1LURE.-The attempt to get up con-
yention in New York to nominate. Gerrit
Smith for Governor was failure. There
were only 100 in attendance, half of whom
were from Syracuse, where the convention
was held, and threc-fourths of these seeded
before the nomination was made. On the pro-
position to nominate Mr.. Smith there were
but seven votes cast. As Mr.. Smith said he
would not accept the nomination if the con-
xention was sssham,' he will have good
excuse for declining it.
