Ou the 25 th of Novemberpreparationa
were made,for an attack on the Rogue
forts, as Ke^heti was uuspected of pro
ducing, unnecessary delay. He, how-
ever, made his public entry into Canton,
having taken care to give previous no
tice of his arrival to the-Admiral. On
the 29th November the Admiral, on the
-ground of serious indisposition from pal
pitation of the heart, resigned the com
mand of the expedition to Com. Sir J. J.
Gordon Bremer, and sailed for England
on board the Volage.
The proceedings at Canton have since
been strange.. Keshen, on the ground
that the people were opposed to his go
ing to communicate in persou with toe
outside barbarians, is said to have de
clared that he had no interview with
them at Peiho; and sent two subordinate
mandarins to confer with Captain El

“PROPERTY IS A PROOF OF MERIT,
Is a favorite maxim with many, parti-
larly those who have in their possession
a goodly share of this worlds goods, but
we cannot agree with them, for we
lieve that wealth is as often acquired by
accident as design. A fortunate booby
may inherit it, or a silly coxcomb obtain
)t by marriage. A penurious dispositii
boards that property \vhich a generous
too freely parts with, and modest
merit more often than otherwise, lacks
the reward given to assurance without
any. In this country particularly, where
many kinds of property have gradually
^ul r fe4 ft high value from a very small
beginning, it will very often be found
that those who have* neither had the
talent or courage to embark iri the
chances of life, have insensibly become
rich without any exertion or merit of
their own. We repudiate the doctrine,
therefore, and say with the Scottish
Bard :

The Globo ofthe Bth says:—The ar
rival of the West Chester from New
York, whence she sailed on the lGt'i
February, brings certain information
that the Congress of the United States,
by the large majority of 103 against 68,
had voted in favor of the report on tin
M’Leod affair, which was calculated t<
excite hostilit es with England. The
subject being thus taken up by Con
gress, the government must of course
act in confirmity with the will ofthe
majority, and therefore the chance of
seeing acts of the inferior jurisdiction of
the -tate of New York overruled by
the General government no longer ex
ists. . It makes the danger of a collision
more imminent than it was before. Our
citizens, viewing it in this light, have
shown a mDch greater degree of ala
regarding the question this raornii w .
than they did on the receipt of tho pre
vious communication; and stocks fell
3-8 or 1-2 per cent, immediately after
the opening of business.
