mination affecting either the honour or the interests of Eng- land without giving the community the means of forming an opinion ou their policy. The opposite course has been pur- sued in reference to these contemplated hostilities against Persia, and the result is that the current ef opinion has set in rather strongly against them.

For our own part, we shal] abstain from expressing any decided opinion upon the matter, until we are better informed respecting it. Heretofore, it has been the undeviating habit of the Iudian Government to issue a full and complete ex- planation of the causes and objects of any large military operations which it undertakes. pate that, concurrently with the sailing of the present ex- pedition, a manifesto will be publised by Lord Canning, de- tailing the circumstances under which it has originated, and the objects for which it is undertaken. Until some explana- tion of that kind is afforded to us, either by the Governor- (ieneral of India, or by the President of the Board of Trade in this country, we do not feel in a condition to discuss the question ; but we certainly think that the nation whose energies are about to be taxed for the prosecution of another war, has strong reason to complain of the complete ignorance in which it has been kept upon the subject.— News of the World, Dec. 7.

CHINA. Sentocs Distonpayce ar Cantox.—Public attention has

been arrested by the serious state matters have assumed at Canton, and the probability of a rupture betweea our govern- ment and the Chinese arising out of the following circum- stances. The Chinese mandarins seized a vessel (lorcha) under English colours, and cut off the heads of the crew. The British consul demanded an explanation, but the mandavins had thought proper to give the consul no reply. Commodore B. Elliot, of H.M.S Sybille, seized a mandarian junk, and sent her into Hong-Kong, from whence ehe managed to escape during the night. H.M.’s steamer Sampson, Commander Hands, with H.M.S.

It would appear that a few funeral on Sunday last, and on Monday they gave such in- formation to Robert Hutchinson and John Rigg, Esqs., Justices of the Peace for said County, ag induced these gentieman at once to wait on the Coroner: depositions were then taken from the parties, and two Policemen, with a county Constable, despatched to arrest the suspected indi- vidual ; the Coroner, with Dr. Mackieson, followed at an) early hour on Tuesday morning. On Christmas night the deceased with a number of others had been drinking at the house of Patrick Murray, of said Lot ; deceased and his said son, with a man named Francis Sheridan, left the house and were proceeding homeward when the father and son quarrelled and fought, and although parted several times by Sheridan, they continued to fight till the deceased became unable to proceed ; at the instance of Sheridan, the son proceeded to Sheridan’s house to obtain a sleigh to convey the father home, but did not return.
