MORNING, MAY 27.  The Jew Bill was rejected by the !louse of Lords on Thursday by a majority of 35. We have only time to-day to intimate the important and gratifyidg fact.  Some occurrences of an unpleasant and even threatening character have taken place in China, three British missionaries having been violently assaulted by a mob at Tsing-poo, by whom they would undoubtedly have been murdered but for the intervention of the Chinese authorities. At Whampoa there has been likewise a collision between some British and American sailors and the Chinese, in which three of the latter were killed. We don't get on well in that Country, somehow. Mr. Bonham, the new Governor, had arrived at Hong-Kong in March last, and Sir John Davis, his predeoessor, had left for Europe.  The trial of Mitchel was to come on at Dublin on Thurs day last, and several of his associates, including Duffy who was tried with O'Connell, have been arrested. Political insanity seems to be endemic in Ireland at present.  It is confidently stated by the Paris papers that the new government stood on the brink of destruction on Sunday last, a plot by the Communists having been discovered which contemplated the burning of the theatres, and the forcible seizure of forty of the representatives of the people. What truth there may be in this we know not, but it is quite certain that the French metropolis is distracted by a most intense anarchy. There are some whispers of the resignation of MM. Lamartine and Ledru Rollin, who, notwithstanding the supposed differences in their characters have beoome sworn brothers—the Castor and Pollux of the new order of things. On Tuesday the former made a speech explanatory of his views on Polish affairs, from which we gather that the present French executive will not interfere in the affairs of Italy unless requested by the Italians to do so, nor in the affairs a Poland beyond what moral sympathy may indicate.  In consequence of a fresh attempt at disturbance-b# the students and rabble of Vienna, the Emperor and the Court left the capital of Austria on Thursday, the 18th instant, and are supposed to have gone to Innspruck, in the Tyrol. This resolution on the part of the Imperial family was suddenly carried out, nor was it till the day after their departure that the fact became known to the Viennese, who expressed their dislike for the republican party as the causes of it in no very gentle terms. The ministers, who hid formerly resigned, had resumed office, and it was hoped that with the assistance of the Burgher Guards they would be able to preserve the public order. Messengers kad been , sent after the Emperor, entreating him to return to the capital, and assuring him of the fidelity and attachment of its people, but with what effect was not known at the date of the last advices. The determination to leave Vienna appears to us to have been premeditated, and whatever may be thought of the wisdom of the step, it will have the effect of bringing matters to a point in Germany. Mob government has effectually paralysed the whole of that country, and If any vestige of central control is to be preserved the existing anarchy must be put down in wrap way or other. Society is not only s necessity of man, but an instinct of humanity, and the present attempt to resolve it into its elements, which is being made on the Continent of Europe, will end in the reduction of the race to barbarism if it be not stopped. It is obvious, also, that the German bubble has burst, and that the grand federal experiment of which we have heard so much will now come to a speedy end. Even in France the friends of a regency are gaining strength; and we confidently anticipate the restoration of order in Germany before winter. Either that, or a general war, is inevitable.
