Ilouu Keno, March 15.

The events of the month elapsed since the date of the departure of the last mail steamer are more marked by stirring events than for many months previously. Indeed our news, foregu and domestic, is unusually interesting; not merely as aﬂecting the interests of Euro- peans here, but intimately connected with the

c politics of Europe.

Strictly local, we have not much to communi- cate, The subscriptions to the Patriotic Fund continue to augment; here (at [long Kong) the Fund aggregates £1,800, whilst at Shanghai and Woo-Sung no less than £2,500 have been contributed, to which must be added £200 from Amoy, and £75 from Swatow—t.lie total being already ‘£4,500. In addition to the money raised, it has been resolved to present an ad- dress to_ her Majesty on the subject of the war, expressive of the confidence re osed in the measures of the throne. On the I2tli inst. Sir John Bowring took his departure on udiplo- snotic visit to Siaui,in her Majesty's steamer Rattler, accompanied by the sloop of war Grecian. It is said that his Excellency will go to Singapore from Siam, and return to this port by one of tho Peninsular and Oriental Com- pandv‘s steamers, the Rattler sailing for Eug-

ari . In China there is generally a strong feeling against Sir J. Bow;-iiig—-all classes ex- press disappointment and hostility to the mea- sures of the literary diploinatist, and desire his recall. Indeed, the busy tongue of rumour asserts that Sir John's recall is in his pocket, and that he will proceed from Siam to Singa- pore, and from the hitter place to Europe. Of‘

‘ such elements are the community here coin- sed, that there is robably no man in Eng-

nd,_ however popuiir, that would prove a favorite in China with the mercantile commu- nity, unless he was disposed to be led by the commercial advantages of those resident in phina, to the prejudice of any and every other interest. Hvcry Plenipotentiary, from Elliot to Bowring, his split upon the same rock, and even an aiigcl would fail to please or realize the unreasonable expectations ofcvery class of the foreign re.-‘id.-nts.

The missing iiiails of I):-ccmber 25 have ar- rived, the Shanghai having been compelled to put into Manilla for coals, and thereby delay- ing the mails, until they were nearly ninety days from England. ()n the Shnngliai’s voyage from Manilla to this port she looked in at the Prams‘ Shoal, and there learned of the loss of the Living Age and Tom Bowline, both vessels with valuable cargoes, destined for Europe and the United States.

Affairs at Canton look more settled; for the time, at all events, the rebels have been driven away from the city. ’I‘lie blockade has been put a stop to ; and by a combined movement of the Imperial soldiers and the people, Canton and tho forts in its neighbourhood have been freed from the terror-s reading horrors of the insurgents. On the tli inst. the rebels at Clenheiiu Reach were taken by surprise, ﬂed precipitately in boats down the river, and for the most part escaped, the Imperialists being but too well pleased to regain possession of the forts. The other stron holds of the insurgents also fell into the hon s of the Imperialists, who are reported to have eﬁected their object by buying up the ringleaders.

The Imperialists have made a shocking use of their triumph. The lacc of execution has been a vast carnage fie d, where hundreds have daily been put to death, in the ho e of striking terror into the minds of the popu ation.

At Shanghai, also, the Imperialists have suc- ceeded in reca turing the city, followed by frightful atrocities in revenge for opposin the Imperial rulc. Beyond the mere facto the capture of the city, little more is known certainty, the accounts conflicting. All with accounts agree in representing the foul atroci- ties committed by the Mandarins. Nearly 500 prisoners were put to death, and some were tortured in the most frightful manner, before being put out of‘ the way. Some of the rebel chiefs have succeeded in escaping, but by far the greater number of the rin leaders have found themselves in the hands 0 their unre- Ienting ensmy.

PORTLAND, csssus, &c

I had not been an hour in Portland, the prin- cipal commercial city in the State of Maine, and perhaps one of the best specimens upon the coast ola ahead seaport, before I observed a gragrsph in one of the three pa rs daily [in lished there, to the elect that ' t e ﬂeet of magnificent ships now lying in our bay or at our wharfs, is the most attractive object to a stranger which our city a£irds.' Asastraugsr, thus, with a taste for shippiug,I may be per-

mitted to observe that then were for I '

built at Portland last year, rogiotoriag‘,£2$§ tons. Its exports consist at resent chieﬂy of l|"|Ib°fi l°0. llih. Go. ; but the future mercan- tile prosperity of Portland" depends not on the produce oftlie state in which It is situated. but

it, now_ that it is connected with node and the Fair West by railways, and with Liverpool by steamers. It is situated upon a narrow but _hilly_ promontory about three miles Ion , which juts into a deep and capacious bay stud ed with green islets ;-—these, while th are a most oliarniing feature of the scenery, form an ad- mirable rsakwater, and are so numerous as to shut out a view of the sea from the town. From the hi hest point of the promontory, how- ever, an cuo antiug prospect is obtained. On the one side a richl

by fine rivers, andy where lakes glisten amid dark pine-woods, exteudiu to the base of the White Mountains, which rising to a height of six thousand feet forms a noble beck-ground; on the other lies the ba set with its green gems, and with the broad Atiiutic beyond.

This trade has assumed an important charac- ter. since permission to ass goods in bond through to Canada has been granted. Soiue idea of its increased extent durin the lust ﬁve years, at Boston, may be formed from the following ﬁgures, which show its value, in I850 to have amounted to £27,240, and in 1855, to .Cl,350.- 055. If, as is anticipated, the roximity of Portland to Canada, and the exceqlencc of its harbor, which never freezes, attracts the larger share of this trafiic, it is evident that in this respect alone it will prove a formidable rival to Boston, from which it is distant about a bun- dred miles. In addition to the Canadian trade, it is _quite possible that the rapidl developing provinces of Wisconsin, Illinois, lllichigau, lu-

iana, and Minesota, may choose it as the outlet for their products; but it is impossible now to form an estimate of the probable value of these.

A considerable coasting trade is also develop- ing itself between Portland and St. John, N. B. and powerful steam vessels now run four times a week between these orts.

But while Portland oﬁers so many advantages in a commercial point of view to the nicrclzant, it is by no means devoid of attractions to the tourist. The town is remarkably clean and well laid out; there are avenues of trees in mostof the streets : these are composed ofliiind- some and comfortable houses, which if the place continues to increase as it has hitlici-to done, will soon cover the peninsula. Portland

as nearly doubled its population within the last fifteen years, and now contains about twenty-ﬁve thousand inhabitants.

It takes about fourteen hours to get to Que- bec by the railway. which has just been opened. At. first the road runs through a well-populated district, past fields of Indian corn, oats. potatoes, hay, &c.,; then it follows the course of" the Androscoggin into the White Mountains. wind- ing up romantic glans, pendulous forests, as though a mountain six thousand feet were not an obstacle to a locomotive in search of the picturesque. Ofconrse the traveller does not at first fully appreciate the beauties of uioun- tain sccnery which he traverses so rapidly, and sees through a pane of glass : butiu America he learns to be as smart at this as at other things. and before he leaves the country he can enjoy a landscape which he glides past at the rate of thirty miles an hour.

The woods consist chieﬂy of pine, oak, beech, and birch, and it is evident that the vast forest opened up by means of this railway must prove a source of great wealth to the inhabitants; while the line itself must beneﬁt extensively, by aﬁbrdingse ready a mode of conveyance to the sea, of timber from the iutcrior.—BIucl:- wood‘: Magazine.

AMERICAN JOTTINGS.

DARINO scr or ii Comunsn Woiisn.—-Along certain thorou hfares in New York there run railway cars, rawn by horses, and plying as street-omnibuses for miscellaneous usscn ers. One Sunday, a coloured lady, name Eliza th Jennings, who is a teacher in a public school and acts as organist in one ofthe city churches, presumed to get upon the outer platform of one cfthcse cars for the purpose of riding to church. The conductor very much astonished at her presumption, tried, says the account of llic aflliir in the Tribune, ' to get her ed‘, ﬁrst alleging the car was full ; and when that was slicwn to be false,he retended the other puss- engcrs were displease at her presence ; but as she saw nothing of that, and insisted on her rights. he took hold of her by force to compel her. She resisted : they t her down on the platform, jammed her bonnet, soiled her dress, injured her person. Quite a crowd gathered around, but she eﬁ'ectnslly resisted, and they were not able to get her olI. Finally, after the car had gone on further, they got the aid of apoliceman, and succeeded in expelling her from the car. She instructed her attorneys to prosecute the company, also the driver and conductor. The two atter interposed no de- fence; the coui ny took issue ; and the cause was brought to trial. Judge Rockwell gave a very clear and able charge, nstructlng the jury that the company were liable for the sets of

A I)iri'icl;i.1'i'.—On the 7th of February, in the present year, ii female teacher in one o the district schools of Cincinnati, ‘wrote a note to tlie‘Board of Trustees,’ intimating that certain uicmbcrs of the Board had introduced into her school-room a coloured boy with di- ifstruct him as a pupil among the children of white citizciis—a rocecding, she rclunrlts, ‘wholly illegal,’ an she therefore begs that, he mu be iuiiiiediatcly removed to the school for coliiurcd children. This appeal led to a meeting of the trustees, at which, amidst a warm discussion, various resolutions and amendments were put on the subject There was a diliiculty in the case. The boy was more white than black,und under this favorable feature, it was argued by _some 0 the members present, that he was eligible as I]. pupil ina white school. ‘Accordingly, one of the pony inoved the admission of the boy, on rho ground that * the supreme court of Ohio had decided, that a person nearer white than a iniilatto or half-blood, is entitled to the rivili- lcges of white,‘ and ‘that children 0' more than |iiilf'-white blood. are entitled to the benc- fit of the school fund.’ This, like other resolu- tions favorable to the boy, was lost; and, finally, his expulsion from the school was carried by ﬁfteen to ten. Two of the trustees fortliwitli resigned. One wonders with what face the people of the northern states can reproach the south, on the subject of slavery, while they themselves are chargeable with subjecting the coloured population to such in- dignitics. llow southern planters must laugh at Ill(‘l(lenlS like that just related 3 U.

Here is a truth for the people of Canada to think of. “ We have able men enough,” says an American iviiter, “ but they slirink from the turmoil and disgusting scenes of piihlic life and employ their talents and energies in private pursuits. This condition of things leaves the political ﬁeld open In the low end vulgar-minded, to the ambitious without brains, and the deinugogucs without principle.” That tells the whole story.

THE ENGLISH NEWS. '.

The Halifax Morning Journal sa s: “The Royal Mail Steamer Africa arrived ' ‘uesday, at four o'clock, in nine da s froiu Liverpool, bringing dates to the 20th hlay, inclusive.

The detailed accounts of the progress of siege continue to refer to hand-to-hand encounters between the enemy and the Allies, in which the uiost determined bravery has been exhibited by the opposing parties—dcadly sIrugglcs_ for en- premacy in which the French and English have more than maintained their ground. But as to any prospect of a speedy subjugation of Sebastopol it appears to be as remote as over.

The whole of the French reserve has left the Bos horus for Kamicsch—-an additional army of '0,000 men, including 1,000 cavalry, and this will raise the French force to 125,000 men. The British force in the Crimea is 30,000 strong the 'I‘ui-kish aruiy at Eupatoria 50,000, and tho “Sll.I‘tlllllllKI contingent l5,(l00—in all, 220,000 as fine troops as are to be found in the world. Omar Pacl.a is said to have declared that with the liircc untlirr his command, supported b the new I-‘rcncli army of reserve, e woul not hesitate to march upon and occupy Simphero- pol, and this force would leave in undiminished strength the army which is now before Sebas- topol, c..rrying on the siege. With the means new at their command the Allies ought to be a match for Lipraudi’s army or any Russian force in the Crimea.

A plan is spoken of in Paris to effect the destruction of’ the garrison of Sebiistopol by famine. An expedition of some 40,000 or 50,- 000 men is preparing, it is said for that object.

One of the numerous su stions made to the Duke of Ncwczistle was “ ydraulic warfare,” the plan being 20,000-horse steam power to force water from the sea or Crimean rivers with 10,000 horse or spouts, to delu the trenches, pits, and men, there guns, usoes, riﬂes, gunpowder, &o., and to keep the men dripping wet.

The Athrmrum believes that the scientiﬁc commission a ipointed to consider the feasibility of Lord l)uuilonald's plan for destroying the arsenals and fl-rtrcsso.-s of the Russians have re orted in favor of the project, subject to cor- llllll conditions, which will have to be decided by military engineers.
