THE BURNING OF CANTON,

Furly on Monday morning (January 12) . there was a simultaneous movement amongst the boats of the squadron and of the Dutch Fort, leaving their respective ships with strong armed parties of marines and blue jackets. They landed at different parts of the suburbs from the eastern end of the Chinchew Hong, to the timber yards above the Sameen pack-houses. The Karracouta had moved up abreast of a smati fort opposite the Fa-tee creek—the Encounter at some distance above the boom, and the Niger in her olé anchorage, off the factory gardens. The boats retired a little distance from the shore, to protect the working parties, who advanced into the narrow streets with torches and fire-balls, and soon commenced the work of destruction , the houses being for the most part built of wood, along the banks of the river, soon caught fire, a good strong breeze impelling the flames to the stronger buildings in the rear. In less time than an hour the vast tract of suburbs above mentioned was on fire, the clouds of smoke stretching over Homan Island. The flames were stirred up now ond then by shot and shell from the ships. The Dutch Folly was very successful with some carcases, which set fire to some houses within the city, clearing a space of about 259 yards in extent near the Yamun. The Barra- couta’s firing was very rapid for some time, caused as was a‘terwards learned, by the attack of some Mandarin soldiers, who, secreted behind some ruins, kept up a practice of jingal firing till compelled to make a hasty retreat. Meantime a party of the 59th Regiment, amounting to 70 men, under Captain Bushe, repaired as they thought to their allotted quarter, and were proceeding to destroy some houses; but instead of going to the left of Hog-Lane, they unfortunately went to the right, and soon found themselves under the city walls. It was always a difficult matter to find one’s way through those narrow streets in the rear of the factories, more doubly so, from the state of ruin in which they now are, blocked with the debris of fallen houses; piled brick and barricades thrown up in all directions, and a number of houses near the walls pulled down during the burning of the factories rendered the passage intricate and difficult. On anne: the walls they were assailed by a volley of stones, and a discharge of matchlocks and jingals. Two men were killed, and an officer (Mr. Statham) wounded ; the men were compelled to retreat. lt would have been matiness to attempt burning the houses in the face of such an overwhelming force. The dead men were left behind, and with them the drummer, who was sup-

i to have been killed ; it so happened fortunately for him that he was but stunned from the effects of a blow on the head from a heavy brick. On partially recovering his senses, he found himself lying ata little distance from his dead comrades, but still scarcely able to move. Some kind-hearted Chinese drew him the way his comrades had gone. Scarcely was he within the door when he saw some Chinese soldiers rush from a street and cut the heads off the dead men. He waited no longer, but madea bold dash to the gardens, which he reached, notwitimtanding the hot pursuit after him. The Braves kept up a fire of matchlocks on him, a ball from one of which knocked the sword from his hand, wounding his thumb severely. The, fire continued raging the whole of Monday night and part of Tuesday, and has done an immense amount of - On Monday afternoon the Barracouta was sent down to Whampoa, to remove the Sybille and Spanish steamer Don Jorge Juan from that deserted and dangerous anchorage. The Fei-ma, Mirage, Lily and Spark steamers were busily em- ployed in towing chops and ships down to the second bar, where they anchored near the ships of war on Tuesday night. A good deal of American property still remains at Whampoa. The San Jacinto was fully expected up from Hong Kong, if not to move at least te protect it, as the church and many other chops are sure to be pillaged or destroyed as soon as Joha Chinaman knows he will not receive opposition. The Acorn is anchored at Hamilton Creek ; the Hornet above the barrier. She has sunk in the entrance to a troublesome creek a large junk, seized a few days since by the Barracouta, well armed and filled with stink-pots and various other combus- tibles. Early yesterday morning, January 14, before 5 o'clock the Chinese commenced an attack on the Dutch Fort by a discharge of rockets from the city; it did not last ver long, the rocket party being quickly dislodged from their posi- tion by the capital shelling of Lieut. Dent, who we are happy to say has returned to his duty in good health. From the con- tinual firing in the Dutch Fort, the walls and ae have been much shaken ; they are very small and rather comfortless. There is a rumour afloat that it will be deser*ed and blown up ina few days for the stronger position of Bird’s Nest Fort, which will me head-quarters ; it is already garrisoned b the marines of the Sybille. The gardens also, it is said, will be vacated, being no longer worth holding, when there is a more advantageous position at hand, and the gardens can be regained onaily; whenever it seems prudent to the Admiral.

e may soon expect the appearance of a reinforcement of troops and ships of war, when a new light will dawn on the dim and obtuse eyesof old Yeh. The pack-houses were spared about Sameen on Monday—not so the Chinchew, Hongs, which were all burned to the ground—King-qua is one of the prin- eipal losers. The Whampoa “ elders’’ have been rel and returned to their houses yesterday, apparently thankful for the kind treatment they received at the hands of Sir M. Sey- mour. It is said that the rebels, not receiving aid or coun- tenance from us, have gone over to the Mandarins—a sad alternative, but no other choice remained to them, unless in- deed to turn pirates. They were little better when they had a favourable opportunity.

THE KAFFIR CIVIL WAR.

Taemenpovus Staventer—A Zucu Carer SKINNED ALIVE. —From Natal we have news by the mail steamer ‘ England’ of an exciling character, in consequence of the disturbances among the Zulus. ‘These disturbances were caused by a contest be- tween Keichwya and Umbulazi, two sens of the paramount chief Panda. ()n the 2d of December the Jatter was defeated with immense slaughter. The victorious Ketchwya, a lad of 19, after the battle, divided his army into three sections, and with these scoured the country in all directions, putting to death not only his enemies, but also all neutral or doubtful subjects who came in his way. He, however, kept clear of the imme- diate vicinity of Panda, who, by the latest intelligence, was raising an army in defence of his throne. It is said that the number of persons slaughtered by the victors must have been upwards of 30.000. U nbulazi was put to death with the utmost barbarity, having been skinned alive. ‘The most careful calcu- lations (says the Natal Mercury of Jan. 1) formed by persons intimately acquainted with the Zulu country, and with current events, represent the total joss of human life at not less than one hundred thousand, including ef course the women and cluldren, who form a large proportion of the whole. And this fact—the massacre of helpless unoffending women and children —shows in frightful colours the demoniacal character of this revolting and horrible butchery. Umpandas’s favourite wife has had her eyes cutout by assegais, and then told to seek death where she could find it. Hundreds of men, women, and children in a torn, lacerated and wounded condition are daily flying to the borders, and the scenes are truly frightful. Only two white men have been killed —Gouws, and another whose name is not ascertained. A Dutch Boer is with the Zulus in the camp of Keichwaya; and influences that chiet’s movements as regards this colony. He is clearly proved to have inst.gated the Zulus to plunder the traders’ waggons. Another brother of Umbulazi has had his hands cut off, and has also been tortured. The latest accounts, which appear to be reliable as to the great fact, though somewhat confused in detail, state that Panda had recovered his power by ceding a large portion of territory to the Buers, who were assisting him against his rebellious son.

Mr. Sorra O'Baten on Ieisn Tranquitiry.—Mr. Smith O’Brien, who is serving on the count y of Limerick graud jury at the Spring Assizes, took occasion the other day to call the attention of his brother jurors to the folly of maintain- ing the police force of the district at its present establishment.

a surplus force which had formerly been put on to meet the

exigencies of extraordinary convulsions or ugrarian outrage,

And he added :—* As there was no likelihood of the occurrence

of either casualty, he certainly thought the expense of such | a force unnecessary. Although for reasons personal to him-| self he was reluctant to bring forward a motion on the matter, | he thought it would be advisable for some member of the’ ‘grand jury to act upon bis suggestion and bring the matter

/under consideration. Ln speaking as he did, he did not wish | ,to cast a siur upon the constabulary, which he considered to

_be well arranged, and a sort of Irish standing army that was

a credit to the country so far as its administration was con-

cerned. But as an individual he entertained very great doubt,

which amounted almosi to certainty, that it was not necessary

Saockrne Tracepy.—-The Auburn (N. Y.) American gives the particulars of a painful occurrence in the town of Moravin, about fourteen miles from Auburn. <A farmer named Clark had in his employ a young map named Albert Wood and a young woman named Shaw, who were on very intimate terms with each other, On the morning of the 25th inst. Wood ente'ed the room where Mrs. Clark aud Miss Shaw were sitting, with a pistol in his hand, which he tried to load, but found the ball too small. Miss Shaw volunteered to get a “ patch,” and with her assistance the ball was fitted and the pistol loaded. Wood then said, “ What shall I shoot?” Some one said, Shoot into the wood box.” He replied, “I won't do that.” Mrs, Clark exclaimed, “‘ Don’t fire in the house. If you are a-going to shoot, go out of doors and do it.” At this moment Miss Shaw cried out, “ If you want to shoot, shoot me, and shoot me that 1 won't kick more than once.” Wood turned towards her deliberately, placed the muzzle of the pistol against her breast, and fired. The ball entered her body just below the breast, and she fell to the floor with a shriek. Wood then took two letters from his pocket and throwing them upon the floor, directed Mrs. Clark to show them to the coroner. He commenced reloading his pistol, and Mrs, Clark ran to alarm the neighbours, who turned out, and oa reaching the house found Wood dead, he having shot himself through the heart. Miss Shaw recovered sufficiently to converse, the ball having been dive:ted from a vital part by contact with some resting substance. She pro- duced one of the letters that Wood threw upon the floor and directed it should be read if she died, otherwise that it should be burnt. At last accounts she was still alive, but refused to give any explanation of the tragic event, of whose cause she is doubtless fully cognisant.— Boston Journal.

Empezziement or Ten Toovsanpn Doutars py a Crerx.— George K. Voise, confidential clerk of the produce firm of Charles Lane & Co., No. 3, Commerce street, has absconded to parts unknown, leaving his employers minus at least $10,- 000. Voise is about twenty-three years of age, and has been for six or seven years in the employ of Lane & Co., who had implicit confidence in his integrity until Monday last, when he was mssing from his post. Such was the trust imposed in him by his employers, who are freqently absent in different parts of the country, that they gave him full power to trans- act business for them in their name. It bas now been ascer- tained that young Voise drew the sum of $6,800 in the name of the firm from different banks on Saturday last, and also that he was quite an adept at gambling—at one sitting being the winner of $1200 or 1500. His whereabouts is unknown, but it is supposed by some that he has fled the country.— Boston Atlas.

FISHERY CONVENTION MEETING.

A Meeting of the citizens of Charlottetown, called by re- quisition, and held on Thursday the 9th inst., at the City Hall, His Worship the Mayor called the Meeting to order,

lic meeting, asked the Meeting to appoint a chairman.

The Hon. C. Young then rose ad addressed the meeting at considerable length, explaining fully the object of the meet- ing, giving a history of the Fishery Treaties since the year 1815, and produced a copy of the convention which had re- cently been signed by the Governments of Great Britain and France, from which extracts were read, shewing the conces- sions of valuable fishing rights on the coast of Newfound- land and Labrador, to subjects of France, contemplated by the convention and deeply injurious to the interests of the inhabitants of Newfoundland and Colonists generally, then proposed the following resolution, which wag seconded by George Beer, Esq., and passed unanimously :— —_

Resolved, That the convention recently entered into be- tween the parent Government and France, conceding invalu- able fishing rights on the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador, te subjects of the latter country, will, if carried into effect, be ruinous to our fellow colonists of Newfoundland, and be highly injurious to the best interests of the fishing population of this Colony, and, therefore, we feel it to be our duty to protest against the concessions contemplated by this convention.

Proposed by Hon. Col. Swabey and seconded by John Rigg, Esq., passed unanimousky :—

Resolved, That although by the twentieth article of the con- vention it is alleged that the same shall not go into operation until the laws for that purpose shall have been d by the Imperial Parliament and the Provincial Legislature of Newfoundland, and that the constitutional rights of the Colo- ny have thereby been recognised, yet this meeting deeply regret that Her Majesty’s Government had not obtained the approval of the Legislature of Newfoundland previously te entering into such a gonvention, affecting, as it will, the wel- fare of so many thousands of Her Majesty’s Colonial subjects.

Proposed by Theophilus Desbrisay, Esq., and seeonded by Thomas B. Tremain, Esq., and also passed unanimously :—

Resolved, That a committee be appointed to prepare a me- morial to both branches of the Legislature now in Session, requesting their energetic co-operation with their fellow colo- nists of Newfoundland, by addressing Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen, with the view to the reconsideration, by the Imperial Parliament, of the convention under consideration, in order that coucessions 8 injurious to the interests of | British colonists generally may be prevented from taking effect.

The following gentlemen were then appointed to prepare a memorial to the Legislature :—

Theophilus Desbrisay, Thomas B. Tremain, George Beer, John Rigg, William Heard, Esquires; Mr. J. N. Harris, Mr. J. J. Rice— who retired, and after a short time returned, and submitted the following memorial to both branches of the Legislature, which was likewise unanimously adopted :—

THe Memortan or tHe Cirizens or CuakLOTTETOWN, RESPECT- FULLY SHEWETH— .

That Her Majesty’s Government have recently entered into a convention with the Government of France, conceding inya- luable fishing rights on the coast of Newfoundland and Labra- dor, exclusively to subjects of the latter country, which is to go into operation sv svon as laws can be passed by the Leaperi- al Government and by the Legislature of Newfoundland. Such convention, if carried into effect, would not only be highly detrimental to the inhabitants of Newfoundland, and injurious to the interests of Her Majesty’s subjects in this co- lony, but also have a tendency to weaken the bond of union between the Imperial Government and Her Majesty’s North American subjects, which has hitherto so happily existed.

Your memorialists therefore pray that your Honourable House will be pleased to adupt such measures, either by ad- dressing Her Gracious Majesty the Queen, or the Right Hon. the Secretary of State for the Colonies, or otherwise, as will have the effect of preventing the contemplated concessions from going into effect; thus co-operating with our fellow

The population had decressed, and the general tranquillity of |eolonists of Newfoundiand in protecting our Colonial rights.

and having read the Requisition requesting him to call a pub-[

lent speeches on various points connected with the subject under discussion,

On motion, His Worship was requested to leaye the chair, and Lion, Col. Swabey took the same.

A vote of thanks was passed to His Worship for his ready ye ne with the requisition, and for his able and impartal conduct in the chair.

Three cheers were then proposed by the Hon. Mr. Young for Her Gracious Majesty the Queen, and the meeting dis- persed well satistied with the proceedings.

The Temperance Soiree, under the auspices of the Rising Sun and Victoria Divisions, took place as advertised, on Thursday, the 16th instant, and we are happy to state was highly creditable as far as the arrangements made by the Committee, under whose supervision the affair was conducted. The mild nature of the weather, and the love of true sociality prevalent among the friends of Temperance, happily induced a large number to attend to partake of the delicacies which were amply furnished on the occasion, as well as to listen to the music and speeches announced on the programme. A number of resolutions were passed in fayour of Temperance and her organization, by gentlemen whose advocacy will be felt on behalf of this great reform, whilst seyeral ‘pieces of music of thrilling interest were sung with mue applause by Mr. Cupples, teacher of vocal music, who kindly came forward to assist on the occaffion—the performance of that gentleman does him credit. We only hope, from the suecess which has attended this Soiree, that the friends of Temperance may be induced, at an early day to add another to the number of their Teas, which, under similar management, would be equally successful.—Com.
