Arrival of the steam Ship China.

HALIFAX, Oct. 22.-Thesteams ship China,
from Liverpool, October 18th, and Queens
town on the 14th, arrived to-day. The
news brought by the China is unimpOrtant.
1t is stated that in the case of the British
steamer Tornado seized by Spain, the French
Government had advised that of Madrid to
admit her mistake in Selling the vessel, and
indemnify the owners and crew and make
the most ample apology.
The Lomalia Commissioners appeal to
the public for subscriptions to the extent of
ten thousand pounds sterling for the prose-
cution of Gov. Eyre. They had specially
claimed the service of Mr.. Coolidge, Queens
counsel, for the prosecution.
1t is stated that the engineers of the War
Department had decided to alter the con-
struction of the Portsmouth Notifications
from a combination of granite and iron to
one entirely of iron of the most massive
character.
The delegates at present in England from
the British North American colonies had
been entertained at a banquet by the British
North American Association.
Most of the speakers were strongly in IA
vor of the confederation. Scheme East the
Cornoyian Secretary of the Colonies de-
clined, however, to commit himself on the
subject, but he promised the matter should
have full and respectful attention of the
government.
BOurse was firm, closing at 6Sf soc.
The weeks returns Of the Bank Of France
show decrease in cash Of ove q, 100000.

BLOCKADE RUNNING DURING THE WAR.
English papers give some statistics in re-
gard to the business of blockade running
during our late rebellion which are very in
teresting. Nassau, a port of the Bahama
Islands, was the principal place from which
this trade was carried on, and the imports at
that port increased from G234, 029 in 1860 to
e5,346 Il2 in 1864, and the exports from
e157 $50 to E4,673,93S The principal ar
ticle Of trade was cotton, of course, which
figures for about e4,000,OO0 in both the ex-
ports and imports. The whole number of
blockade runners that entered Nassau during
the war was one hundred and sixty-four. one
hundred and two Of which made success
ful voyages. One Of the successful ones
made eighteen voyages, but seventy-four of
them made only two voyages each. Toward
the end Of the war the captains of the block
ade runners received 81, 900 for each voyage,
with the right to carry ten bales of cotton
on their own account.

Insanity Of the Empress CarIOsta-
AnaerieaH Iron CIaas for saEe-E'he
Spread OF ChoIera-Our Minister 10
France, Etc,
New York, Get. .22.-The Paris Nation
ale of the 9Th inst. saws: Two DAYS ago we
had received very sad news as to the mental
health of the Empress of Mexico, but
although the source from which we received
the information was Trustworthy, we were
unwilling to credit it. At present silence is
no longer advisable. At first her state Of
mind was attributed to nervous excitement,
caused by anxiety and disappointment, but
latterly symptoms leave no doubt as to the
terrible malady, and give no hope of her.
The Count de Flanders has been summoned
to Rome, where he iswitnessing thelugubrious
and dramatic episode of an enterprise which
has produced nothing but disaster. The
Brussels Echo of the 9th says: News re-
ceiyed here from Rome states that the men,
tai crisis has greatly subsidized, and her
Majesty has been enabled to undertake the
journey to Mermore, accompanied by the
Count de Flanders.
A Loudon dispatch of the 11th, to the
Herald, says, the King of Hanover, in
another proclamation to his late subjects, alb
solves them from further allegiance to him
self, with the reservation that the oaths Of
homage or service again become obligatory
from the moment that King George the ",
or his legitimate successors, should resume
again the exercise of government in the
kingdom.
The Mexican Legation in Paris had re-
ceiyed and published the following telegram
from the Emperor Macmillan:
CHAPULTEPEc, September q, 1S66.-You
will inform our Legation OF the excellent
spirits which prevail among all classes in
Mexico. The Ministry is definitely estab-
lished, and the best understanding exists
with our allies.
The Paris correspondent of the London
Times, writing on the 9Th inst, says the
American Government has announced the
two ships of war which are now at Kiel, one
of which is the Miantononah, for sale.
The Herald's Paris correspondent says the
question of representation Of the United
States at this court was much eanvassed in
political circIes; but the writer intimates that
Gen. Dix will be acceptable to all parties as
the American minister
What French Radicals term the "Scandi-
navian question" which advocats an alliance
or fusian of Sweden, Denmark and Norway,
is possible. The Opinione Rationale in its
treatment of the subject, shows it is likely
to form serious point of antagonism between
Russia and France in the Baltic.

ST. LOUIS, Oct 22.-The most terrific
wind storm that ever visited this country
swept over the city at half-past 4 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon, doing an incredible
amount Of damage. 1t approached from the
south bearing a little eastward. TWISTING
like a screw, and lasted about fifteen or
twenty minutes, and was about quarter OF
a mile wide when it first struck, but grew
narrower as it proceeded north. Scores OF
buildings were unroofed, hundreds more or
less damaged, trees and fences nprooted in
every direction, shutters, sign boards, tim
Der and all loose things was carried through
the air almost ike feathers. No lives have
yet been reported lost but several persons
were seriously injured.
The following are some Of the most serious
injuries sustained All the chimneys of
the City Hospital were blown down and an
adjoining house completely wicked; an un-
finished brick stable of the Peoples Railway
Company, near Lafayette Park, was blown
down and old stable demolished; two brew
cries on Lafayette avenue lost ehimneys and
part of their roofs Church of Angels, in
course Of construction on ST. Argentine, had
its walls blown down and the pastors house
near by was also badly damaged; a new
three story house on Sixth street, belonging
to Mr.. Koenig, was Frustrated, only por-
ton Of one wall was left standing; the roofs
of the Baruum and Lindell Hotels was
somewhat damaged also the Mercantile Lii
brary Hall a large portion of the tin roof
of Darby's marble building, corner of Fifth
and Olive, was rolled up and blown into the
streets.
The greatest fury of the storm seemed to
have been spent on the O'Fallon Polytechni-
cal Institute, a large unfinished building at
the corner of Seventh and Chestnut streets
Two immense -chimneys were blown down,
breaking hole into which the wind en-
tered, tearing up the tin roofing like paper,
and carried large portions of it, weighing
several hundred pounds, a distance of from
two to five blocks. Several other houses in
thesimmediste vicinity were seriously dam
aged. Several steamboats, were blown from
their moorings and forced across the river.
All telegraph lines leading out of the city
were Frustrated
Nothing has been received from the coun-
try, where it is expected the damage has
been very great. A rain storm accompanied
