CHINA.  The news from Cbins is_not of particular intere  The murderers of Captain Lawsen, of the Herald, were executed on the 3d of May. Since the Ist of January, 13,806 Chinese had left Hong-Kong for California. An execution of 53 criminals had taken Place at Canton. With regard to the rebellion, it is stated to be spreading. The great Tartar General, Walantai, is reported to have died of wounds received in an engagement with the rebels. HONG the o-KoNo, ArAy 24.—The mail steamer arrived hemorning of the 9th inst., bringing us dates from England to the 24th of March. The semi-monthly mail was received on the 7th inst. Up to the present time we are glad to be able to report favourably as to the condition of the troops. General Jervois has issued an ordinance with the object to prevent desertion, cases of which have been numerous.  The corps of artillery about to embark for England are still detained for want of conveyance. We have to notice a tragical event in the case of the American ship Robert Bowne, Captain Bryson, bound from Amoy to California with about 400 Coolies, who after a few days' departure took the vessel, having murdered the captain, officers, and part of the crew. The vessel was retaken, after a large portion of the Coolies had landed on an island off Formosa, and brought back to Amoy, with 21 Coolies still on board. The Hon. Company's steamer Semiramis and her Majesty's brig Lily left Amoy in search of thuse who had landed, but bud weather obliged the former to return to Hong• Kong; the latter got into safe anchorage. The Semiramis left again for Amoy on the lst inst. Her Majesty's brig Contest, from Shanghai, joined her Majesty's brig Lily, and succeeded in taking most of the Coolies, and brought them to Amoy. The Lily was to proceed to Shanghai on the 18th, and the Contest arrived here on the 19th. The alleged cause of disaffection among the Coolies was the cutting off their tails and other ill-treatment ; but there were some desperate characters on board, who, it is reported, shipped with the view of taking the vessel, supposing there to be a quantity of gold on board. The English ship Baron Renfrew was brought into harbour a few days ago by her Majesty's steamer Sphynx, owing to some dissatisfaction on board, which was arranged through the senior naval officer, Captain Massie, and the vessel left again on the 19th. The French steamer Cassini and the corvette Ceprieieuse are to proceed shortly to Ningpo and Chilean.  In Canton the business during the month has been small, both in imports and exports. From Shanghai we have advices to the 10th. Imports had been in demand and stocks were small ; but few transactions had taken place in produce. Nothing is as yet reported regarding this season's crop of tea. The excess of exports in tea over last year is now 1,800,0001 b.; of silk about 1,000 bales.
