Govxksob’s Y'amuii, Canton, Jau. 28.
I traversed the whole city of Canton, and found
the people going on with their accustomed occupa
| tions. Along the great East and West thorough
| lare a closed shop was become a rare exception, and
- the only difliculty was to push our way through the
crowd. The people were cutting up their pigs and
iiieir fish (the abundance of immense carp, tench
and loach iu the streets of the city in wonderful)
mid cooking their comestibles is full business like
I security. Idiers were playiug at Chinese hazard,
cud exhibiting their piles of coins upon the board.
The curiosity shops in incredible numbers were
‘ spread with curious antiques of the newest fashions.
The crowds are not even afraid to manifest curiosi-
I ly at the clothes and features of their European
j guests, and the shop-keepers invite you into their
shops with a politeness that proveß they have no
misgiving that you will exercise any right of con
1 quest except a conquest by purchase. Yetthespir
j it of insoleuce has departed out of them. Neither
I in word nor gesture is there any symptom of hos
i tility or even of dislike. I have sceu two people
(lightened very much by a scolding for using the
word ‘Kan quei’ (foreigndevil); but I believe they
u-ed it in all innocence, having never heard us call
ed by any other name.

j city, I believe that uo ten Chinamen within sight
of Canton would dare to raise A stick in the pres

s i ruinous a condition that the General the other
I oiy forbade the attempt to climb the fragments of
i. broken stair case. Yet this pagoda is the great
boast and lieu of Canton. The Chinese boasted of

see what a miserable ruin it is. When the general

of cot having been opened for twenty years. I have
already spoken of that great district of desolation,

Hundreds of coolies are now papering and white

the state of the foreign Exchanges, and the general
belief that the Bank, rate will on Thursday next, be
reduced to two and one half per cent. Money was
in rather increased demand to-day, both in the dis

so high, since the leading firms do not announce any
intention of forming lists where the total exceed

better demand was experienced. First class bills
are still freely discounted out of doors at 2j a per
cent.
It is remarked that the terms for long dated pa
per have advanced; four, and even six per cent is
being paid in many cases for good six months bills.
The circumstances seems altogether unconnected
with the recent decision of the bank relative to dis
count. The banks do not discount bills having
more than 95 days to run. Smaller discouat houses,
finding their facilities diminished, do not care to
block up their funds in six mdnths bills. Foreign

France. —The Paris Coustitutionel of the 25th
ult, has an article on the alliance between France
and England. Most friendly sentiments are ex
pressed throughout, it nays that the Duke de
M&l&kofF personifies the alliance as a living memo
rial ot common glory and common perils, and that
the Emperor could not have made a choice more
significant or more flattering for the and Ea
glish people.
The Paris Bourse, on the 25th, exhibited an
animation to which it had been for some time a
stranger, and a rise in the founds assumed a decided
character.
The Loudon Globe's Paris correspondent says
that a line of rail is about to traverse the west coast
of France, from Bordeaux through Rochelle, Brest
aud Nantes. It is clearly a stragetic rather than a
commercial project, as the coasting trade by the
steamers is quite adequate for mercantile purposes
along the Atlantic border of France. Petitions de
manding a reduction of duties on sugar and coffee
were pouring in upon the Government iu large
numbers.
The Minister of the Interior had ordered all the
artillery in the sever-al towns of France to be dis
mounted and deposited in the arsenals, on the plea
that they are in such a state as to be dangerous to
use, aud promising they should be replaced by ar
tillery in better condition. The impression prevail
ed that the guns were removed lest they should tall
into the people’s Lauds iu case of a rising.
Spain. —Some disturbances had occurred at Va
lencia, and a few arrests were made. Quiet was
eaeilv restored. The agitation was occasioned by
the drawing of a lottery. There were also doubtful
rumors of disturbances at Saragossa.
Despatches from Madrid to the 22d ult. say that
the G jvernmeDt has presented a project for the abo
lition of slavery in the colonies of Spain.
Italy. —A Turin letter says that Count Cavour
has sent another note, written in very energetic
terms, to the Government of Naples on tire refusal
of the latter to give up the Cagliari. ,
Russia- —Great agitation prevails in Russia in
consequence of the opposition of the nobility to the
emancipation of the serfs. Many great proprietors
have tied to St. Petersburg, in fear of their lives.
A letter from Warsaw states that a camp of one
hundred thousand men will be formed towards the
middle of May. This is considered as a manifesta
tion against Austria.
Turkey. —A despatch from Constantinople says
that 800 Montenegrins had violated the Austrian
territory and penetrated Herzcgovia. Forty of
them entered Sutorina and burned everything.
The Russian Embassador at Constantinople is un
derstood to have notified his government that Tur
key refuses to submit to the treaty for the naviga
tion of the Danube.
Several irregular coips were being organized in
Bosnia by wealthy Turkish Beys.
India. —There iu nothing later than the telegraph
ic advices taken out by the steamer Indian to Port
land, but an official despatch to the East India
Government says that Sir Colin Campbell, with Ins
force, consisting of fifteen regiments of European
infantry, three regiments of native infantry, three
regimeuts of European cavalry, three regiments
and detachments of two others of native cavalry,
with 80 heavy guns and mortars, and G3 field
pieces, had crossed the Ganges and was in progress
to Lucknow. Tue attack was expected to take
place ou the 27th of February, when Jung Balia
door’s and Gen. Frank’s forces, 12,000’ strong,
would also have reached Lucknow.
Providential Escape.— An accident occurred
to Mr. Philemon Jones, of this village, on Tuesday,
which was accompanied by a more terrible peril,
and yet succeeded by comparatively more trivial
consequences, than any of which we have ever b ;-
fore read or heard. Mr. Jones was engaged with
his horse, a nervy, spirited, animal, in drawing logs
into the logway at Woodford’s Mill, up above our
West Village. It was thus while -leaving the log
way, Mr. Jones holding the whiliietree in his hand,
and guiding the horse without rein, the animal took
fright at some object, and as he sprung, the chain,
which was dragging behind, by some singular fatal
ity looped itself around his ankle, and in a second he
was thrown to the earth aud dragged down the rough
road at a frightful rate of speed. At Geo. Dudley’s
tannery, a distance of sixty rods from the point
where the horse first took fright, two men essayed to
stop him, but they only succeeded in turning him
across the Meadow street bridge, which here meets
the toad af a sharp angle. As the horse turned the
corner, stW keeping his terrific speed, Mr. Jones
was whirled in the air a distance, as creditable by
standers tell us, of over thirty feet, over the side of
the bridge, the chaiu struck the corner of the solid
beam and broke, and the man fell senseless a dis
tance of fifteen feet into the centre of the rocky
stream, where an eddy gave depth of water suffi
cient to partially break the force of the fall. Mr.
James Kenyon was first to leap into the stream to
the rescue, and it is due to his activity that (he man
who had already escaped where a thousand would
not, was pieserved from drowning at last. Mr. Jones
remained in a state of insensibility but a few min
utes, was taken home, and with the exception of a
reasonable amount of scratches aud bruises, is not
seriously hurt. Not one of the many who w itnessed
the affair imagined when they reached the bridge
that they should behold anything but a mangled and
mutilated corpse. The whole transaction, the sin
gular loop iu the chain about Mr. Jones’ leg, his
dragging uninjured over a distance of sixty rods,
the feariul circuit in mid-air, the snapping of the
chain, the fall into just the right place among the
rocks—in all these there seemed a conjunction of
lucky circumstance almost deserving the term mi
raculous.— “Winstead (Ct) Herald.
More Developments. —The Philadelphia Ame
ricansays : “We presume it is scarcely necessary to
direct the reader s attention this morning to our
court reports. For some time past these records of
legal proceedings have so abounded in shocking rev
elations of municipal corruption and disgrace that
most persons now look to them regularly for some
uew exhibition every day. Last week, John Apple,
jr., though clearly proven to have been concerned
in the business of forged naturalization papers, es
caped conviction by having on the jury several of
his political friends, ameng whom is a policeman.
On Stturday the attention of the sitting Judges of
the (Quarter Sessious was called to a case where,
notwithstanding tliat a dozen Dench warrants had
been if sued for certain lottery policy dealers, they
escaped by the connivance of those officers in whose
hands the warrants were lodged. Another lament
able fact is exhibited in the caseot Charles T. Find
ley, who plead guilty to perjury in swearing falsely
to the ownership of real real estate, iu order that he
might go bail for three youg pick pockets.’’
Consummating His Change of Front.—Mr.
Stephen Arnold Douglas, we hear incidently, has
recently divested his family of the palpable inter
es f m 4 *the peculiar institutiou” so offensive to the
po al party he bas lately joined. Thus, he is paid
to tiave sold—as the trustee —the uegroes in Missis-
fippi inherited by his children by his first marriage.
Until he had done that, there could be no reasona
ble hope that the Republican party of his own State
would admit him into full communion with their or
ganization. They made a great handle of the fact
of his late connection with slavery as explained
above, up to the time he commenced knocking at
their door for admission. Since then, we have seen
nothing on the subject in any abolition newspaper.

Caftain Durham.— The famous Capt. Durham,
of the Adriatic, who gave tbe French the slip at
Marseilles, arrived in this city yesterday, and is
stopping at the residence of his friend and relative,
Dr. C. A. Jordan, Fourteeth street. We understand
the captain had an interview with the Preaident
this morning, upon the subject of the seixmre a r and
confiscation oi his vessel. Application is to be
made at once to the Government for indemnity for
the large losses sustained by theownersof the bark.
Capt. Durham, since iiis return, has received seve
ral applications from ship owners in New-York and
Boston to take charge ot their vessels. He is every
inch a sailor, and one who would not be likely to
‘ give up the ship.’’—JUicisk. Star , 7th inst.
Some Hail.— Kendall writes to the Picayune
from New Braunfels. Texas, about some tall hail
they have had iu that quarter:—‘Since March set m
we have had several copious ehowers, and one hail
storm which beat every thing in that line 1 have
ever witnessed. Why. the haiicame down in chHnks
as big as vour fist, and many persons, caught out in
the midst of it, were terribly frightened and badly
hurt. 1 have even heard that young colts and
calves were in some instances killed out-right—
Some oi the hail stones are said to have weighed a
pound and a half, and the windows on the wind
ward side of some of the houses in. New Brauntels,
look as though they had been exposed to the thick
est of a three days’ revolution in Paris. According
to Sh&kspeare. Lear was caught out in a tolerably
severe tempest -. the old king could not have with
stood the “pelting of such a pitiless stonn” as oure
a single moment. The only people benefited by the
shower oi ice were the glaziers ; they have had their
bauds fall of work.”

, ‘SMILING SPRING IS HESS" —By BcRMNE.
Wandering zephyrs, from their homes—
Deep in Southern bowers—
Now o’er the fields in silence roam,
To wake the sleeping flowers;
And lingering o er each withered heap,
They whisper, low but clear,
‘ Break thy faded bands of sleep,
For smiling Spring is here.”
The song is heard, the violets dim,
Are peeping from the ground;
The water-!illie on the lake
Have caught the wt lcome sound.
The chorus swift is borne along,
Till echoed far and near,
And buds and flowers, now join the song
Os “Bmiling Spring is here.’’
A bright-winged rover o'er the lea
Sows flowers on the way.
And resting on the budding tree,
Now strides a tuneful lay.
And now the gloomy woods awake
With echoes loud and clear.
- Till birds from every shrub and brake
Sing “smiling Spring is here.”
And now beneath the light of Spring
The fields with flowers are strown,
That scarce is seen a withered thing
So thick the buds have grown.
Birds anfi flowers, and waving trees,
Now swell the authem clear,
While laughing rills and passing breeze,
Sing “smiling Spring is here.”
Enter from California, See
By the arrival of the Isabel at Charleston from
Uav&nna, we hare California news to the 20th of
March. We take the following items from the
summary of the San Francisco Bulletin .-
Little has occurred in this part of the world, since
our summary of March sth. We have had some
wet weather, which came very acceptably, espe
daily to farmers. In the Northern counties, a se
vere storm took place early in the moath,
considerable damage to bridges and flumes. The
State Legislature is still ill session, but has hot dis
tinguished itself for either ability or industry. The
Kansas resolutions, endorsing the course of the ad
ministration, which we informed our readers in our
last steamer issue had passed the Assembly by a
large majority, have also been adopted in the Sen
ate by a vote of 20 ayes to 15 noes. It is claimed
that these resolutions do not express the real senti
ments of the California Democracy, who are said
to be overwhelmingly in favor otl sustaining the
course of Senators Douglas and Broderick.
And to make this manifest, meetings have been
held at both Orovill aud Marysville, which oassed
strong resolutions in denunciation of the legislative
endorsement of the President and declaring that the
Democr icy of (his State occupies different ground.
If the mail, now long overdue, does not bring uh
nows that will put anew phase upon this Kansas
dispute, similar meetings will doubtless be held in
other parte of the State.
A severe 9torm visited the northern counties of
this State about the first of March. It lasted for
several days, and destroyed a vast amount of pro
perty. In trinity county alone, the damage is es
timated at $20,000. On Clear Creek, property
valued at fully as much, was destroyed. Bridges,
and large quantities of fluming, for mining pur
poses, were swept away.
On the 13th of March last, there was in the trea
sury of this State, in cash, $371,730.53. There will
be little left when the Legislature adjourns.
A chunk of gold was recently found at Althouse
Creek, near Crescent City, Del Norte county,
weighing seventy-three ounces, and valued at about
City.—Considerable excitement has been caused
in this city by some legal proceedings in regard to
the negro “Archy,” claimed as a slave by C. A.
Stovall, aud surrendered by the Supreme Court to
his owner several weeks ago. Stovall started with
the negro for New Orleans, on the steamer Oriza
ha, on the sth March. Before the steamer had
cleared the heads, however, an officer with a writ
of habeas corpus , took Archy in custody, and
brought him back to this city. Stovall was also
arrested on a charge of kidnapping and brought
back. This latter charge, having no foundation,
was dismissed next day by Police Judge Coon.
The habeas corpus for Archy was made returnable
before Judge'Freelon, of the Court of Sessions, and
after several continua ices, it was finally heard on
the 17th mst. Judge Freelon ordered the negro to
be set at liberty ; but before he left the court-room
lie was re-arrested by the U. S. Marshal, by virtue
of a writ issued under the Fugitive Slave Law.
This caused great excitement among the colored
population of the city, and some of them talked loud
about rescuing Archy from the officers. Little
more than talking was done, however, though for a
short time a serious riot was threatened. Archy
was carried before the U. S. Commissioner, George
Penn Johnston, who is expected to give a decision
in time to permit Stovall to take him off by the pre
sent steamer, iu case it is held that the boy is a fugi
tive slave under the act of 1850.*
The French brig of war, Alcibiade, De Marigny,
commander, arrived at this port on the Kith March,
from Honolulu. She carries one hundred and eigh
teen men and twenty guns.
Oregon.— Our dates from Oregon Territory are
to the 11 th of March. Lieut. Allen, reported to
have perished in the snow between Simcoe and
Walla-Wala, had arrived at Portland. He was
abandoned by all his party but one, with whom he
made the journey through in safety. A Salem paper
estimates the present population of Oregon as fol
lows : White inhabitants, 75,000; Chinese, 5000;
Colored people, 360; Total 86,300. Number of
voters estimated at 15,000. An Indian, charged
with violating a white woman, Was hung on the Ist
of March. The proof against him was very conclu
sive.
Sandwich Islands. —Dates have been received
here from the Sandwich Islands to the 27th of Feb
ruary. A severe hurricane passed over Lahama on
the 20th of February, making a wreck of Dr. Bald
win’s church, and unroofing the house of the Ameri
can Consul. The missionary ship Morning Star had
arrived at Honolulu after a six mouths’ absence
among the Micronesian group of islands. Captain
Meachem, of H. B. M.'s steam vessel-of-war Vixen,
died an the 17th February, and was buried at Hono
lulu. The King and Queen had returned from their
visit to the Windward Islands. The French Com
missioner had made some valuable presents to the
King, when a mutual interchange of compliments
took place, and the former good feeling between
them which had been interrupted, seemed to be re.
stored.
Several Americans from Massachusetts, who are
now in Sebastopol, are thinking, it seems,seriously
of settling there. Every encouragement is offered
by the Governor of the place and the Russian gov
ernment. Iu fact, it would seem that the Russians
are well aware of the value of foreigners in building
up a town on the border of their vast dominions.

Crime in Boston. —According to the report ol the
Chief of Police, made to the Mayor and Aldermen,
the whole number of persons arrested in the city,
for the first three months of 1858, was 4,198, of whom
2,036, *or less than one half, were committed to the
Toombß for trial. Os the whole number arrested
808 were females ; 698 were Americans, and 3,500
foreigners. During the quarter 4,360 persons were
accommodated with lodging at the station-houses.
The offences for which the arrests were made were
chiefly intemperance, assaults, and petty larceny.
The aggregate of Imprisonment imposed by the
courts upon those found guilty was 349 years.
Washngton, April s. —Gen. Sargent, of Cincin
nati, had to day a formal interview with the Presi
dent, and tendered liis regiment of volunteers for
service in Utah, supported by a recommendation of
the legislature of Ohio.
It is understood that Gen. Harney respectfully
protests against being plaoed second in command
under Gen. Smith in the Utah expedition and de
sires a command in some other direction.
On the representation ot Gen. Robles, the State
Department has reissued its former instructions to
prevent the organization or fitting out of unlawful
expeditions within the limits of the United States
for the invasion of the Northern States of Mexico.
Both Governments iu Mexico have written to him
on this subject, but lie officially corresponds only
with the one recognized by our own.
Col. Benton’s health has materially failed within
♦he last few days. He speaks of his life as drawing to
a close, converses cheerfully wth his trieuds on pub
lic affairs and says the only great measure in which
the Administration has been successful is the de
monstration of the practicability at all seasons of
the year of a central route to the Pacific.
The Senate has not yet notified the House of ite
adverse aetiou on the Montgomery substitute, but
notice of the fact is expected to-morrow. In the
event of a failure of the Kansas bill under present
circumstances, an effort will be made from the
Democratic side to couple Kansas with Minnesota,
making the admission ot one dependent on that of
the other.
Washington, April 9.—The announcement, in
the House this evening of the death of Hon. Thos.
11. Benton was premature. He is still aiive, though
in a sinking condition. Before the members sepa
rated a letter was read, dated yesterday, written
by Mr. Benton to Messrs. Houston and Jones, of
Tennessee, saying that in the event of his death he
expressly desired no notice to be taken of it. Tuere
was no rule in either house to justify such proceed
ings, and besides, it was contrary to his convic
tions, many year* ago expressed.
St. Lohis, April 9.—Fuller accounts from below
state that much damage has been done by a great
rise in the Mississippi and Arkansas rivers. From
the mouth of White river to the Louisiana line
there are but few places that will escape being sub
merged. Whole cotton plantations are now under
water.
The town of Napoleon is completely inundated
from the depth of two to ten feet.
The south side of the Arkansas river has over
flowed, causing immense destruction of property ;
the North side is comparatively safe. The river is
tailing now, but the back water from the Mississip
pi extends eighty miles from its mouth.
The levees on the east side of the Mississippi have
not yet given way.
St. Johns, N. F., April 7.—There are rumors here
that the brig Bloomer, from Boston on the Ist of
March for Placentia Bay, with Capt. Field, Maj.
Ripley and others interested in the mining opera
tions of the New York and New Foundiand Tele
graph Company in this Province, has been wrecked,
but there is no other foundation for the rumor than
the fact that the vessel had not,at last accounts, ar
rived at the Bay, though considerably overdone.
Halifax, April B— Our latest dates from Sable
Island are to the 11th ot March. The Government
will send a cutter down in a day or two, and then
we shall be able to earn the particulars as to the
loss of tbe brig Bloomer.
Providence, April . B. —Returns of the election

OBITUARY.
Died in Walton county. Ga., on the 29th March, in
the 76th year of Mrs AMY ANSLEY.
The deceased was born in Virginia in the year 1762,
but removed, in early life, to Lincoln comity, in this
State, where she was married to Mr. Wm. Ansley. witfc
whom she led a happy life, until it was the will of God
to take him from her. Her troubles after the death o‘
her husband, were many, but by the power of true Chris
tian faith she was enabled to bear them with fortitude.
She removed to Walton county in 1635, where she re
sided until her death, leading an exemplary life. Embo
dying all the true virtues of a woman—unobtrusive in na
ture —she won the love and esteem of all who knew her;
kind in disposition, she ministered unto those who were
oppressed with care, ever trusting fn the wisdom and
power ot God—that God who guided and directed her for
more than three score years, and who did not forsake
her as she passed through the dark valley of the shadow
ot Death. G.

NEW ORLEANS, Wednesday, April 7.— Cotton—
Our last report (Friday) closed upon a very unsettled
market, as buyers were contending for marked conces
sions, which holders generally resisted, and the contest
was- continued en Saturday, though with but slight if
any advantage to purchasers, who to>k about 6500
bales. On Monday the enquiry was more active and
general and sales were effected to the extent of about
12,500 bales, with a rather steadier and firmer market.
At a late hour on Monday four days later European ad
vices were received, reporting an advance of 1® id in
the Liverpool market, though subsequently this was
said to have been at least partially lost on receipt of
later advices from this country, carried out by the Ame
rica. Our own market oper.ed yesterday with a good
demand, and with advanced rates claimed, which were
obtained to the extent of about an l®lc. in the Middling
grades. The sales reached about 13,500 bales. We
