THE EXCITEMENT OF INToxlCArroN.
The love of narcotics and intoxicat-
ing compounds is so universal, it
may almost count as an instinct
Every nation has it in a greater or
less degree; some in the shape of OPT
um some Of smoking, some in drink,
some in snuff; but from the equator
to the snow-lines, it exists-a trifle
changed in dress, according to the
climate, but always the same desire.
Kings have decreed punishments
on the secular side; priests have
mathematical on the spiritual -
lawmakers have sought to pluck
out the habit, root and branch, from
their people; but all to no good
man still goes on smoking, snuffing
and chewing; putting an enemy into
his mouth to steal his brains, and
finding immense satisfaction in a
practice that makes him both an
invalid and mailman, and never
quits him until it has laid him fair.

THE EXPEDITION TO CHINA
The Aocidem 10 The Frenoh.-Tho
Bombay Times, Of August 9th, has
the following dispatch from Hong
King, the 18th Of July:
The French have lost all their bar-
ness in a vessel wrecked at Annoy,
and want to welt for fresh supply
from France. They protested against
our going on without them, and they
will not be ready until the end Of Au-
gust They also protested against
our having two thousand more men
than they, and insisted on this num-
Der being left behind.
The British force was ready, and
on the 26th June, Lord Elgin Undue
ed Baron Gros to withdraw these pro-
tests.
The French force was being bur
ried up, and the attack was to be
made at once. No later news from
the Northern ports.
On this the Times remarks
The misfortune of our allies is to
be regretted, if it interfere, as we
fear it may, with the trial of the res
pective merits of the French rihed
artillery and our own Armstrong guns
to which we have been looking for
ward with some interest. The close
of this most disastrous and uDpro6ta-
bic war with State oil our relations
with which have been discreditable,
is much to be desired. The progress
of the rebel bodies and the difficulty
of reopepipg negotiations, leads us to
fear, however, that the strife in which
we are engaged may last longer than
is generally expected.

the peace of the world. The pro-
gramme, gentlemen, be assured
will succeed.
