During the confagration of Canton caused by
the bombardment of the British, the extensive
medical warehouse of our countryman, DR.. ]. G..
Aver, of Lowell, tthe depot of his Cherry Pee
toral and Cathartic Pills, for China,) was totally
DESTROYED. He now makes demand upon our
Government for indemnity for the loss of his
property, and hence will grow another nut to
crack with our elder brother Johnny. Stick to
it, Doctor; and if our Government maintains
our rights wherever your Pills are sold, we shall
only be unprotected on tracts that are very bar.

ENGLISH ANXIETY ABOUT AMERICAN AFFAIRS-
EFFECT ABROAD OF THE FIRM ATTITUDE OF THE
NoRrH.-But few people on this side have any
idea of the intensity of the apprehension created
in England by the near prospect of civil war in
this country. The feeling has been very much
aggravated by the uncertainty whether public
opinion at the North was not so divided as to be
likely to render the conflict one of long duration
The moderation and concatory spirit exhibited
by US were mistaken for doubt OF the loyalty
and patriotic feeling of some portions OF ourpop-
ulation. This assumption, if correct, would Of
course have contributed to prolong the struggle
and to render the situation of England exceed
ingly peliloas. A lentghened interruption Of the
cotton supply and Of commercial relations gem
orally with this country, would produce gener-
al bankruptcy, and probably apolitical revolu-
tion there. Er 81, 8g e4g.,..-s .s,g
1t will be some little time before We can learn
the effect of the Presidents proclamation, and OF
the formidable efforts which are being made. by
the North in response to it, on the public mind
abroad. We can anticipate with certainty, how
ever the powerful reaction which they will pro-
duce in England. In the unaniniity, the devotion
and the sell. sacrificing spirit manifested by the
North, the English people will at once find aso.
luton of all their fears and anxieties They will
ace that although the conflict may be desperate,
| il can neither be prolonged nor doubtful No
elements of resistance that the South can muster
can hold out for any time against the ever
| whelming odds which the Northern and West
orn States are accumulsting against it on every
side. This will restore confidence to the CONF
mercial and manufacturing interests Of England,
and will react favorably upon our own, by pre-
venting her from taking any steps that might
tend to give countenance or support to the rebel
States.-INsw York Herald.
