THE NEW YORK HERALD. Vol, IX.—No, 227.—Whole No. 3439, “ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMER HIBERNIA pL ah ak SIXTEEN DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.

The British Royal Mail Steamship Hibernia,Cap- tain C. H. E. Judkins, arrived at Boston on Thure- day evening at 10 o'clock, after a passage of 13 days 54 hours, including the detention at Halifax.— She left Liverpool on the afternoon of the 4th in- stant, at 44 o’clock, and reached Halifax at 8 A. M. on the 16th instant, and lett that port eame morning at 11 o’clock, and arrived at Boston ‘at 10 o’clock Thursday night. She brought out 15 passsengers to Halifax, and 67 to Boston from Liverpool. The Great Western was to leave next day for New York. The Hibernia brought out more than 300 cases of merchandize. She is {ull to her utmost capacity. By this arrival we have Liverpool papers to the pig and London also to the morning of the same lay. The Great Western, Captain Hosken, reached the Mersey on Wednesday evening, the 27th ult., a few minutes before seven o’clock, and on the fol- lowing evening, about eight, she was succeeded by the Hibernia, Captam Judkins. The first named steamer made the run from New York in thirteen, the last from Boston in eleven days. The Steamship Margaret, Capt. Shannon, was to leave Liverfool on the 7th inst., for Halifax, to re- sume her station as a reserve packet. The Packet Ship Montezuma, Capt. Lowber, ar- rived at Liverpool in sixteen days from this port. Trade continues in the same quiescent state which has marked it for some time past. As com- vared with the feeling which existed twelve months ago, there isa decided improvement, but the im- petua with which the year opened, produced by the cessation of hostilities in China and the East Indies, has not been maintained. The stock of cotton on hand is enormous, and exceeds by upwards of 300,- 000 bales the quantity which was held last year. ‘The present stock is little, if any, short of a million of bales!—nearly a year’s consumption. The Li- verpool merchants, in this state of things, are im- pressing upon Government the necessity of having a drawback of the duty paid upon imported cotton, accompanied by a more liberal and comprehensive system for facilitating export orders, with every prospect of success. ‘The weather during the last fortnight has net been very propitious tor the crope—frequent rains, a low temperature, and the absence, except occasion- ally, of warmth and sunshine. During the last three days, the rains have been heavy and frequent. All this has the effect of retarding the ripening and fill- ing of the grain. The potatoe and turnip crops will be more than they have been for years. When the last steamer sailed, a kind of panic prevailed in the corn market; prices were rising, speculators were busy, and great fears existed that the stock on hand would not Jast until the new crop wa3 got in. At this season—always a critical one for the crops—speculation is rife, but in the present instance, it subsided sooner than might have been anticipated. The ill-timed and heavy rains of the last day or two will, in all probability, influence the London and Wakefie!d, as they have already done the Liverpool market. It is now generally stated, says the Globe, echoed by the Times, that the Houses of Parliament will not be prorogued until the last week in August. ‘Wales has been giving additional uneasiness to the powers that be. Two or three weeks back, it was believed thatthe emeutes, of which the south- ern. counties of thePrineipality had been the scene, were exhausted, or at least subdued fora time.— Recent events have prove otherwise. The Welsh breakers of gates and midnight prowlers have shown a degree of tact and daring in their illegal peram- bulations which proves, not only that they are thoroughly banded together tor a commen object, but that they have perfect reliance on each other’s fidelity. The disclosures of a drunken partizan led, it will be seen, tosome apprehensions, which were not made without desperate exertions and no lit- tle danger. The parties have been committed. The trials of sach of Rebecca’s daughters as are in custody, have been removed by certiorari from Carmarthen to the Court of Qucen’s Bench. According to the Stockport Advertiser, arrange- ments are now in progress for the reception of 30,000 stand of arms in Chester Castle, for the use of the northern district. Treland is still ina vortex of agitation. The rent flows in without any apparent diminution, the priests are as active, O’Connell as energetic as ever. He keeps the ball moving amazingly. With a volatile people like the Irish, the sameness of the subject, the monotony of the speeches, and the drain upon the pocket, seem calculated to tire. But they do not. The agitation was never rifer,the organization never more perfect, the funds never so plethoric as at pre- sent. Government looks passivelyon,prepared for no | ¢ thing but to extinguish the flame when it breaks out. Ta this respect no change has taken place since the sailing of the last packet. O’Connell has pub- lished a statement of his finances, which, unlike those of the national Exchequer, shows a great sur- plus over expenditure. And he talks ot further movements, having for their object the superseding of legitimate authority, which will put the quies- cent policy of Sir Robert Peel to a still greater test. The second Kepeal Tuam Demonstration took place on the 2ist ult., on the race-course of Gur- raws, about two miles from the town. It was very numerously attended. Several resolutions were passed. O’Connell addressed the meeting, expressing great delight at ité magnitude. He found great fault with he people of Ahascragh, a small village, who had broken the law by storming and injuring the rolice- men, one of whom had taken down a triumphal arch. Af wrong, the law was open tothem, and he pro- mised them that they should not want its protee- tion. But the traitors of Ahascragh, iustead of re- sorting to it, violated at the same time the very first ptiaciple of the Repeal Association, which required that there should be no tumult, no rioting, and no violence of any description. The Dublin Monitor reports 2 meeting of Irish membere, Lord John Russell presiding. The Irish members wished an appeal to the constituencies on the subject of Ireland ; but Lord Palmerston opj-osed the project, and it was relinquished. A committee, ye however, was appointed to draw up a statement of Trish grievances, to be submitted to a future meet- ing. An order from the Treasury has: been issued that every person holding a situation connec ted withthe revenue, and who may have subscribed to or have become a member of the repeal association, must immediately withdraw his subscription and name on pain of instant dismissal. The disruption in the Church Establichment of Scotland is now full and complete.

However, a fearful ree tribution will not be long in overtaking the victors.

On Wednesday the Queen, Prince Albert, the Prince of Saxe Gotha, Princess Clementi nd other distinguished personages now on a to her Majesty, honored the Thames Tunnel with a visit. His Majesty the King of Hanover and suite are expected to take their departure for Germany the week after next. King Otho, of Greece, is still fidgetting under his financial difficulties. Some strange disclosures are threatened by the London papers, relative tothe conduct of some offi- cersin the highest department of the customs. The Spectator states that Sir Robert Peel, and his “youthful friend,” Lord Stanley, though carry- ing it so smoothly in public, are at daggers drawing behind the scenes. Lieut. Munro, his seconds and surgeons, have had a verdict of wiltul murder returned inst them by the coroner’s jury, for their participation in the death of Col. Fawcett. Another riotous outbreak took place a few days since at Wolverhampton, where a number of col- hers and miners from the neighborhood of Sedgley attacked the police constables, and beat them in @ most brutal manner. Ia the Sheriff's Court, London, last week, an- other verdict was obtained tor the Crown, against Mesers. Candy and Dean, silk importers, for their smuggling transactions. _ There has been an extraordinary demand for co- pies of Dr. Pusey’s sermons. Upwards of 3,000 co- pies have been sent to Ireland. Two editions of 6,000 each have been printed ; and a third edition, it is expected, is just about to issue. The publication of Catholic booksin England, as wellas the Oxtord Tracts, the spread of Puseyism, and the approaching revolution in the “Protestant Church, are noticed at great length and with joyous emotion by the religious journals of France. A correspondent of the Sun calculates that out of 12,000 clergymen belonging to ths Established Church, 9,000 are rank Puseyites. ‘The Glasgow underwriters will suffer very severe- ly by the loss of the Columbia steamer, which was principally insured at that city. e amount is sta- ted at upwards of £40,000, underwritten by several of the most influential brokers.

At the Devizes wool fair last week, almost all the wool pitched found ready geri, in many in- stances ef nearly 11jd. perlb. About 30,000 fleeces were sold. Of the 10,000 pine apples imported into London from the Bahamas last week, comparatively few were damaged onthe voyage. The whole of them were soid at less than half the average price cur- rent in this country at the most favorable season of the year. Van Amburgh seems to be making a very profita- ble tour in the north. He is reported to have netted the tollowing sums :—At Alnwick, £3870; Bedford, £160; at_ Kelso, £300; at Coldstream, £200; at Dunse, £150; and at Berwick, £250.

The same men, when em- ployment was plenty, he said, used to pay seven- ! pence each for their dinner, ° ‘NEW YORK, SUNDAY Recent Apvance IN THE Prick or Corn —The recent rapid advance inthe price of wheatat Wake- field and other corn depots has led to an apprehen- sion that the scenes of speculation {witnessed last year, and which produced such disastrous results, are about to be repeated this autumn. From infor- mation which we have received from a disinterested but well informed quarter, we are disposed to think that this alarm is not well founded. The place where wheat has risen mest in price, and by the widest strides, is Wakefield, but the cause is, we believe, to be found not in undue speculation at pre- sent, but rather in the want of proper speculation earlierin the year. This want is easily accounted for by the disasters to which we have alluded, and its effect was to prevent the factors in the spring storing up the usual quantity of grain in their ware- houses. A_ further effect of their caution was, the very low price at which wheat was so}d until within the last few weeks, Now, however, tifat the stocks in the warehouses are reduced much below their usual extent at this season—the average quantity of wheat in Wakefield at this time of the year being 40, 50, or 60,000 quarters, and sometimes considera- bly more, while at present it is only abeut 20,000 quarters—the weekly arrivals, moreover, not being equal to the weekly consumption—those stocks can- not be drawn upon to moderate the price, which is consequently governed almost exclusively by the proportion borne by supply to demand, florts have been made to remedy this state of things by extensive purchases of Odessa, Egyrtian, and other low foreign corn in London, and also by applica- tions to the farmers for the wheat in their granaries; but, of course, the result of these efforts cannot be all at once apparent; nor can it be ascertained, ex- cept by degrees, whether there is any considerable stock of home-grown wheat in the country. Tug Stare Batt.—On leaving the supper room at Buckingham Palace on Monday night, her Majesty and Prince Albert and the august and illustrious guests, were preceded be the queen’s piper, playing on the bagpipes, to the hall room. A Scotch reel was then danced, which was kept up a considerable time. A new set of bagpipes were played on, made by Mr. Mackay, piper of the late buke of Sussex. ‘hey are richly mounted in silver, with a banner bearing the royal arms. Quadrilles and waltzes were aiterwards resumed, both in the ball room and alsoin the throne room. The King of Hanover took his departure at one o’clock; the Duchess of Cambridge left at halt past one. Her Majesty and MORN Prince Albert and her illustrious visiters quitted the state rooms at two, and dancing ceased. The return of the noted member of the Anti-Corn Law League, Mr. Bright, as member for Durham, is aneventol the first importance. It has been re- ceived with shouts of acclamation by the free_tra- id its influence will be felt in the walls of arliament as wellas inthe country. There is no disguising the fact,that the League has been“‘carry- ing all before it” of late in the agricultural, not lees than inthe manufacturing distric!s. A melancholy event occurred a few days back in the English walers—the lossol the Pegasus, a stea- mer which sailed between Leith and Hull. She struck on the Goldstone Rock, near Holy Island,and some two or three miles from the Great Fern Lights. Out of the crew and passengers, which numbered between fifty and sixty persons, only six have been saved—namely, two passengers, the mate, the engi- neer, the carpenter, and one of the firemen. What makes this calamity the more heart-rending, is,that it occurred in the calm of a summer’s might, the sea hardly ruffled by a breeze, within a mile or two of the shore, and under circumstances which, if judi- ciously turned to account, wou'd have prevented the loss of a single creature When she struck,the boats, two in number, were got out by the passen- fcrs, arush was made to them, and, being instant- vores ea Hey. were swamped by the backing of the engine and the confusion which prevailed amongst the passengers. She was an old boat, and what appears very extraordinary is,that the captain, accustomed for years to the navigation, should have made such a fatal mistake. This, it appears, too, was,the third time she had struck upon the rocks in the same vicinity. _ Within the last three or four days, the melanchol intelligence of the total shipwreck of the brig Fal- con, of London, with loss of all her crew, except- ing one seaman, ‘has since been received She is stated to have been a fine vessel, of about 150 tons burthen, and the number who have so unfortunate- ly perished amount to 13, including the master, japtain Cairns. The Royal Navy at the present time consists, saya the Hampshire Telegraph, of 230vessels of all descrip- tions, mounting 3471 guns, namely, 8 yachts, 14 sea- going line-of battle ships. 31 frigates, 35 sloops of war, 84 smaller vessels, 68 steam vessels, 25 survey- ingtveseels, (including 9 steamers,) 9 troop ships, 1 hospital ship, and 10 stationary guard-ships. The force at home consists of 780 guns, Mediterranean 653, Brazils 451, East Indies 566, em and Coast of Africa 293, North America and West Indies 316, Particular service 232, Surveying 120, Troopers 58, Lakes 3; total 3471. This is an augmentation of 8 vessels, but a reduction of 384 guns, since the commencement of the year. . There are at this time constructing in Liverpool sixteen or seventeen vessels of iron, but not one new ship of wood 13 building on the stocks. The capabilities of a_new iron steamer on the Thames, called ‘* The Prince of Wales,” are said to be seventeen miles an hour. Capt. N. Stiannon, oF THE CoLumBra —The pas- sengers who were on board the Columbia when she was lost on Seal Island, since their arrival in Liver- pool have oer a handsome piece of plate to Captain Shannon, as a matk of their respect to- wards him, both as a gentleman and an officer. It bears the following inscription :: Capt. Neil Shannon, of the steam ship Columbia. by the passengers who sailed with him in that vessel from Liverpool to Halifax, on the 4th June, 1843, as a mark of their respect for his unitorm urbanity of manners and abilities as a captain.” Mr. Cobden, on paying a visit to the Corn Mar- ket, at Mark-lane, London, met with rather a rough reception. He was assailed with cries of “turn him out!’ and several handfuls of wheat were thrown over his person. This uncourteous treatment excited the indignation of all the respect- able parties on the Exchange ; and affer a few re- monstrances, followed by a slight repetition of the offence, a scuffle ensued between some of the most sturdy advocates of opinion on both sides, in which the violators of public decorum got considerably the worst of it. The Rey. Theobald Mathew, on account of a dis pensation from the Pope to move about according to inclination, unrestricted by episcopal interference or centrol, arrived in Manchester last week. He has been occupied upwards nine hours a day in ad- ministering the pledge of total abstinence. Up to Saturday evening 18,000 persons took the pledge.— oped | On Sunday it was administered to 30,000, and on Tuesday to 32,000, making in all a to- tal of 80,000 pledged teetotallers in Manchester Of these there are 4500 infants, 3000 of whom belong to the St. Patrick’s district, a part oi Manehester principally inhabited by the Irish. During his re- cent visit to Liverpool, the Rev. Theobald Mathew administered the pledge to upwards of 30,000 per- sons. After his journey to Manchester, the reverend gentlemen returned to Liverpuol, where he increas- ed the number of the teetotallersto nearly 60,000 — He has since paid a visit to the metropolis, private- ly, tor the purpose of making arrangements to carry out more effectively hereafter his plane; and next year he intends, it is said,to visit the United States. Important Trapr te Hone Kona.—Itis stated in the London Mercantile Journal, that the value of the three cargoes of British manutt out toChina in the John O'G: John Dalton, will not be less th x It is an important fact, that the prices of the best qualities of teas are now understood to range lower than ever was known in the history of trade. At tcochester on Thursday morning, considerable seneation was created, owing to a young man and young girlof respectable aj rance, being found drowned about six o’clock, clasped in each other’s arms, lying in the mud of the Tiver, opposite to a place called Phillips’ Wall. It appears that the bo- dies were picked up bya fisherman, and upon his examination of them he found that they were tied together with tape round their arms—the left arm of the young man with the right arm of the young wo- man. e names of the unfortunate couple are William Edward Hendery, aged about thirty years, and Ann Hannah Sancto, about eighteen years old. The former, i reported, isa widower with two children, and the latter isa daughter of a publican living in Stroud. Thomas Hart, beer seller. Halliwell, christened his twenty-ninth chiid on Wednesday week. Ot that number twenty-five are still alive, and, should the prolific pait live a few years, further additions to their family may be expected. A few days since the under-ostler of the White Hart Hotei at Windsor, founda bag containing nearly 1000 sovereigns. The man, through whose honesty the property was return fe into the hands of the owner, was rewarded with 203! The Cork Southern Reporter mentions a rumored explosion of the Bal incolig powder mills, with the Joes of two lives, Monday and Agaricur-rurat Provuce or Matne.—In the House of Commons onthe 34d instant the following conver- gation took place respecting the operation of the Ashburton treaty :— Mr. Curisrorner said he wished to know from the right hon. gentleman, the President of the Board of Trade, whether, under the Ashburton treaty, and the 25th clause of the Customs Duty Bill, it was in- tended to admit the agricultural produce of the State of Maine into this country, at the colonial duty. If such were the case, he wished to know wha! security would be given that the produce of the othe States of America would not find its way into England inthe same way? Mr. Grapstone said that he would endeavor to confine himself within the legitimate limits of an answer; at the same time he would end?avor fully to wate the meaning of those articles of treaty to which the hon. member had referred. As far as he understood the first part of his hon. friend’s qustion, it was whether by a clause of the Customs Bill, which was intended to give effect to the third ar- ticle of the treaty of Washington, the produce of the State of Maine would be forwarded through the colony of New Brunswick to this country at the colonial duty? That clause had only reference to that part of Maine which was now acknowledged to belong to this country; the part of that territory which had formerly been known by the name of the “disputed territory,” and which had by the late division fallen to the United States, did not come within the operation of the duty. In answer te the | d, second question of his hon. triend, he would en- deavor to explain the precise positionin which they stood with respect to the verification of the origin of produce to be admitted into this country. By the third article of the treaty of Washington, and the clause of the Customs’ Act, referred to by the hon. gentleman, power was given for demanding a verification of origin in all cases of goods imported into this country from the British Colonies, except- ing in those imported tpom the territories of the East Iodia onireny, which at present he would put out of view. The produce of that part of Maine was almost exclusively timber. The post office at trrol,a cottage, was burnt down on Sunday se’night, and many letters de- stroyed or rendered illegible. The distraints upon the Society of Friends this year, shiely for ecclesiastical purposes, are about ‘There are only two instances of Quakers having been returned to Parliament. A priest, named Abbo, was condemned to death at Rome, on the 30th ult, for the murder of his nephew. He has been degraded by the Pope, and will be executed. “Tas Weatusk anv THe Crors.—The weather has been unsettled during a considerable part of the present week, but tolerable progress has been made in the hay harvest in the two or three fine days, and in some portion of other days. The corn crops advance rather slowly toward maturity, but the grain feeds well, and looks healihy. In some dis- tricts the wheat and oats are partially lodged by the heavy rain, but brisk winds have contributed to recover them.—Leeds Mercury. This week the weather has been more settled and favorable, still at times cloudy, and not the best suited for furthering the progress of haymaking. There isa good deal of hay yet to be made and carried.— Preston Chronicle.

In contormity with this arrangement, Brigadier Echaleau started for Madrid on the 27th, accompa- nied by an officer of the garrison. The Barcelona junta had meanwhile determined to release such of the Moderados as were imprisoned by its orders on the 20th and 21st. Frexcu Finance.—The national debt of France, jh which in 1572, under Charles 1X , was only 17,000. | 000f., was, in 1832, 5.417,495,017'. At the present | time itis almost 77,000,000,000. France has already been bankrupt six times, viz:—Under Sully, who deducted the interest formerly paid on the capital ; at the end of Louis XIV’s reign, under Desmaret, who paid neither capital nor interest ; at the fall of the “systeme Law,” under Lepelletier; under the Abbe ‘Terrai, who did not pay the assignments during the revolution after the creation of 45,000,000 of mortgages ; lastly in 1799 by the reduction of two thirds of the debt.

A singular duel was fought in Marseilles on the 10th ult., between two Spaniards. One was a bar- ber; and the other, though a dealer in cigarettes, consented to fight his opponent with his own wea- pon—a razor. The cigarette man received the first wound, so deeply slashing his tace that he was wn- able to continue the combat, and was obliged to be carried to the hospital, while the barber was taken toprison. Several strange assassinations have lately been committed in the environs of Paris, and have caus- ed some excitement in that city. The cause of these acts of violence appears to be inexplicable. 1 Naples. The Allgemeine Zeitung has the following from Naples, June 30:—‘* The negotiations relative toa commercial treaty with England are terminated. The draft of a treaty was sent to London, from which place it has been returned pretty much modi- fied, but fdoubtless also accompanied by notes, to which it is said, the commissioners and the Neapo- litan Ministers have nothing to object. Algiers, A letter {rom Tlemcen, July 12th, published by the Constitutionnel, informs us that the expedition- ary column was about to march for the frontiers of Morocco. Abd-el-Kader was gone to visit his fa- mily, whom he had sent forward to Tugurth, near the great Sahara, a town belonging to the Moors, who have hitherto been neutral in the war between the French and Abd-el-Kader.

Sr. Pererssurcu, July 11.—By_ intelligence re- ceived through a direct channel from Kiachta it appears that the quantity of tea brought there this year by the Chinese to be exchanged for Russian produce amounts to only 30,000 chests; whilst last year they brought 120,000 chests. The exchange trade at Kiachta, between the Chinese and the Russians has been sys | unfavorable, and most of the merchants have been obliged to leave their merchandise in the depots until next year. The price of tea has already risen considerably and will rise stillmore. The greatest share of the trade in tea is carried on between Moscow and China. The Government has summoned the principal merchants of Moscow to 3t. Petersburgh to hear their repert on the exchange trade carried on this year with Kiachta, and to give their opinion as tothe best meansof remedying this state of things. During the late hostilities between China and England, the Russian and Chinese exchnge trade was more flourishing than at any other period. At St. Petersburgh, on the 21st of June, there was a violent hurricane, which did much damage, both by land and water. On the 12th ult. two churches, a convent of nuns composed of seventeen different buildings, and thirty-seven private houses, were destroyed at Or- zel, in Russia, by a conflagration. India and China, The Bombay mail of the 19th of June has arrived. The intelligence which it brings is of interest, and in particular relative to the state of the newly acqui- red province of Scinde. That most fertile district, which under a good government and properly culti- vated will become a garden, is now Seurt pacified by the measures adopted by Sir Charles Napier, its present gcvernor. He has made terms with most of the chiefs, and even Meer Shere Mahomed is stated to have offered to make his submission, provided he could have his private property secured to him.— There is no doubt that within a short time the com- plete pacification of the country will be effected. Sickness prevaiied very much in the camp at Hy- derabad ; several officers died ; Sir Charles Napier had an attack of fever, but had recovered. The communications by sea with Scinde had been clo. sed by the monsoon, but the route via Omercote to Bhooj and Balmeer would, it was expected, be speedily opened. The navigation of the Indus from Lukkur to Hyde rabad was interrupted, and the camp at Hyderabad was abundantly supplied with food and ammuni- tion, and every other necessary. The provinces of Scinde, which very much resemn- ble Egypt, are usually flooded by the rivers and ca nals during the monsoon; they will require little more than common care to produce an extraordi- naty revenue. The amount once far exceeded £1,000,000 sterling, and itis to be expected that it wiilsoon again reach that sum. The subsiding of the waters will, it is feared, unless proper precautions are taken, increase the sickness of the troops, but, as the General is experienced, there is a well found- ed expectation that the due precaution will be adopted. There was an absurd rumor got up about a confe- deracy having been formed among the northern and sikh chiefs at Subathoo against the British, but its extravagance was speedily discovered. One of the most remarkable events of the month is the solemn protest of the officers of the ar- my at Hyderabad against the calumnies of the Bombay Times, which paper accused them of hav- ing dishonored the Zenana of the ex-Ameers.— They presented an address to Sir Charles Napier praying for protection against these calummies, and they received a decided ig hg their General — The address and reply have been published in the journals of Bombay, and were to be also circulated throughout ladia.

The mercury fell very much. A gale was dreaded ; it came on, and expended its fury in the | Bay of Bengal. Several ships were lost on the Co- | romandel coast. A dreadful hurricane was felt at the Mauritius towards the end of April; it caused several losses. In Bombay the burning of teak | ships was resumed on the 6th of June, when a fine ship, the Thomas Grenville, was consumed. The | insurance offices have declined granting heavy po- | licies on netive ships with ir crews. ‘The heat in Bombay was felt very much in the commencement of June, but the monsoon had | broken on the night ofthe 18th, and had cooled the atmosphere. The wing of the 78th Highlanders had suffered from asort of brain fever, which was attributed to their caps and exposure to the sun, as wellas to their careless mode of living in the tropics. Phe news {romChina is extremely scanty. Re- ports had been circulated of Sir Henry Pottinger’s sickness, but they were regarded as exaggerations. He was said, according to the Jateat news of the be- ginning of May, to be waiting for the arrival of the new Imperial Commissioner, Ke Ying, who wasex- pected at Canton about the beginning of June. The death of Captain Farmer, of Her Majesty’s ship Driver, was mentioned, The Phlegethon had arrived at Calcutta on the 7th of June, from Hong Kong 7th of May. The Queen steamer has been ordered to get ready for sea at Calcutta in the beginning of July. Some ofthe newspapers imagine that Lord Ellenborough is going Deck. to Europe; but this fact may be doubted in the middle of the south-west mon- soon. Aletter from Hong Kong has arrived, dated 7th March. From it it aan 29 that business was most active to the north. There were seven ships in the Yang-Tze-Kiang, selling openly at Woosung, opium and British goods. They had been warned off b the authorities, but having persisted, they were al- lowed to continue their sales. 4 ql The Americans are busy in smuggling. Sir Henry Pottingersought to stop that trade, but in vain. Cap- tain Hope endeavored to detain some ships, but they were subsequently released. 2 Opium and poten oe are selling at long prices at Shanghai. Gold is abundantly offered, but many as afraid totake it lest it should be too much alloyed. ‘The French frigate Erigone is going to Nizon, in Cochin China, to deman« ction for the perse- cution of the French mii f British goods are said to be scarce in China; not apiece to be found outside for sale.
