seized in-the Queen’s name by her majr-sty’.-
0fi::cet‘s. On-the 17th ult, or soon after the

her cL"u'g0‘and=tlie. passenger's’ luggage, and
took charge of the ship. They proceeded to
search the vessel, and soon discovered a

the head in and found it to contain tobacco.

Great; Storm at Liverpool —-On -Sunday
the 26:11 ult., Liverpool was visited by one ol
the most severe storms, accompanied by tor-
rents of rain, at times amounting to it com-
plete hurricane, which. has ever been known
in that town. The wind was from [liv-
westward, and it is supposed that much darn-
age was d.o;ie-to the-‘shipping on the coast.
'1‘nepaclr-eta ship Garrick for New York,
with twentzrr.-abin and a large number of
steerage pa.ssengers, went to sea, as did also
the Fairfil-ld for this city. notwithstanding
the sev»;-rity of the storm.
The violence of this storm was felt in va-
rious parts of England-; and also in France. It
was oaths 16th ult.. that Louis Philippe

C/2.i7zn.——Tlie I-Iindoo, Manson, arrived at
Liverpool from Calcutta. spoke, on the 23:1
ofJuly, the Aden, from China. The Aden
left Macoa on the ‘.27th of April, 18 days
subsequent to the date. ofthe arlvices brought
by the. last overland mail. ' No event of im-
portance hutll0ccur€'d in the interval. The
Chinese continued busily engaged in mak-
ing preparations for receiving the English
expedition. Occasionallytheyamusedthem-
selves by throwing rockets among the Eng-
lish ships at Macao, without, however, caus-
ing any serious damage. As much tea had
been brought to Macao as would load all the
ships waiting for cargoes at that rendezvous.
We learn, in addition to the intelligence
previously communicated, that all the Amer-
ican ships had left Macao with full cargoes;
that the British trade was carried on under
the Danish flag.
Bumbag/.-——Calcutta letters state the Chinese
to have captured the VVater VVitch, and Eng-
lish schooner, laden witbopium and treasure.
and to have massacred all on board. This
comes in a private letter ofthe 5th of May.
the Calcutta papers making’ no mention ofit.
The Emperor of China had pur-
chased the Diana steamer at Calcutta for
700.000 rupees, and engaged the service of
an English engineer.
Egg/pt —Advices from Curio ofthc28tb
ult. describes the authorities of that capital to
be most activclyen<_raged in preparations for
war. The reports in ciculation among the
Arabs represent the Christians as on the
point of invading Egypt, and the Mussulman
religion as exposed to undergo a foreign
yoke. A letter from the Viceroy, received on
the 25th, ordered all the laborers employed
in the mnnufactorics to be incorporated in
the national guard. The latter, moreover.
were to be forthwith armed, and turned out
to be drilled regularly twice a day. This
order created an immense sensation, and it
was generally thought that the Pasha would
not have issued it without some real cause
to justify it; 40 pieces of artillery were then
embarking at Boulak, and a large convoy
gas to have left in a few days for Alexan-
rm.

Latestfrom Jl1e2:ico.—l\’lexican papers of
July 28th. received at New Orleans, bring a
confirmation ofthe intelligence of the cessa-
sion of ll0Slllllit‘S in that capital. An armis.
tice had been concluded between the parties.
in which the Centralists agree to restore the
Constitution of i824.
Gen. Urea, the Federalist commander re-
signed his commission and left the city, as
soon as the armistice was concluded, arid it
was suspected that he was making for the
province of Tamaulipas, to awaken an insur-
gent spirit in that quarter The President,
Bustamente, on the conclusion of hostilities,
repaired in procession to the Cathedral,
\vh"rc a To Dcum was chanted.-
Meanwhile Canales. an active federalist
general, was by no means idle. but was press-
ing upon Mexico with a heavy force. Gen.
Aristi with 1000 cavalry was expected in the
cit\' to oppose him.
On the 28th July. Bustamente issued a
nrocl-imation, congratulritingthe republic on
the close of the disturbances, and assigning
as the reason that more forcible measures
wero not taken to put down the rebellion.
that they would have caused the loss of too
much “Mexican blood.” Of course be de-
clares that the government is all the firmer
established for this late outbreak.

The American Board of Commissioners
for Foreign Mission s held its 31st annual
meeting at Providence R. I.. on Wednes-
day of last week. In the absence of the
President (Hon. John Cotton Smith of Con.,)
Hon.~”'l‘bcodore Frelinghuysen. Chancellor
of the University of New York, took the
chair. From the Treasurer’s Report it ap
peared thatthe expenses of the Board for
the last year were $265,784 45, and the re-
cvipls for the same time, from all sources,
3241.591 04. leaving a balance against the
Bflafd Of 324.083 42. It the former part
of the year there was a diminution in the
monthly receips. But this dicninution was
arrestel, and notwithstanding the embar-
rassment; of the times, the contributions of
the year are greater in amount than those
of the year before. The legacies have not
been so large, and the gross amount is there-
fore about $2000 less than in that year.-—
Thv sum necessary for carrying on the op-
erations of the Board without the relinquish-
mcnt of any portion of its system. is about
$300,000 annually. Morethan $70000 has
been collected and paid into the Treasury
from the State of Massachusetts alone, in the
past year.

TO\VN l\lEE'l‘lNG.
Among the resolutions adopted by the
Whig State C-'ll’lVt‘nllO1l whicli was held in
this city the present wvcl-.', was one calling
the atti-ntion of the \Vliig_'s to the October
town meetings. This is a Slilsjrcl ofthe first
importance, and which should be l1ll|'Il(lt(l to
in every town. Last year the loco focv
newspapers came out boldly and urged up-
on their aclh--rcnts the necessity of doing
their utmost to bring out their whole force
at those meetings. Thu VVliigs took the
same course on their part, and the conse-
quence was, that the locus were signally de-
feated. This year, for the purpose of en-
trapping tbeVVhigs, the loco foco newspapers
pursue a(lliTt3l‘L’l1iC0llt‘S(‘,&.lltldly speak ofthe
town meetings at all. This course is adopt
ed in order to make the Whigs believe that
they intend to make no movements to secure
lheitown meetings, when the fact is, as we
are well informed, that they have already
made their preparations, in secret, through-
out the State, for bringing to the polls their
entire strength at the October meelinc_rs.——
Tlieir utmost force is to be applied to doubt-
ful and nearly bnlancr-d towns; and they are
c.alcul:itiu¢_r by this secret course the i-Vhigs
will be lulled to sleep, snd found unprepared
to meet them. They hope in this way, to be
able to carry some ten or twenty towns
which last year were VVhig, and then to
shout re-action, in order to operate on the
Pr:-siclentiill (‘l("L‘.llOl'l in this and other States.
These facts we have learned of gentlemen
from a neighboring county, who ol-t.-ined
them from some ofthe more moderate locos.
Of their truth we have no doubt; and we
call upon our friends to be reatly for ll1I'C0fl°
flict. As no the town nu-clings, so <.*«-nvr:il-
ly goes the next succeeding election. The
sr-li-ct-men chosen, execute tlze registry law;
and the only guaranty that it will be fairly
executed, is to have upright, honest men.
such men as the Whigs would elect to have
its execution in their hands
During the summer, the U. S. Marshall
with his host ofactive loco foco agents, have
been employed, and many of them are yet
employed in taking the census, which of
course brings them in contact with every lo-
co; and besides ge‘ting subscriptions for tbs-
extra Globe, they have had :nnplu- opportu-
-nity to preach to their friends on the sulju-ct
ol the town meetings. Tliese ripportiinities
have not been in-glectcd; and by this mode,
they have been able to notify evey loco in the

Prcri0u.s Rngue.—-The Bridgeport Far-
mer says a lad aged about [6, son of Rev.
Mr. Greenwood, of Be-‘lllcl, acting as clerk
in the Post Office at that place, suddenly dis-
appeared one day last week from home. Soon
after he had been missed a lo.-tter written by
him, was found in the ofiice, confessing that
he had purloined money at sundry times
f.-mm letters in that office, amounting to near
55200. The loss of the money was reported
to the Post Master, by the persons to \vhom
it belonged, but no traces of it could be found,
nor were any suspicions indulged of the boy.
until his letter was read. He also confessed
that two barns recently burnt there, were set
on fire hv him. He was irnmediate-ly pur-
sued, and apprehended at Norwalk. and af-
ter r~.\'aminrition at Danbury, was bound 0-
ver for trial; but being unable to procure
bail he was imprisoned.
The Result in Il/innis.—-A li l’e examin-
ation and T8flt‘CllOU will s-'uisfi_v any one that
locofocoism has nothing to crow over in Illi-
nois. Out ofahout 8l.O00 votes cast at the
late election, the Van Buren majority is l,-
S00. The aggregate popular vote at the
state election in 2836, was 43,000, out of
which the Van Buren party had a majority
of 11.000. At the Presidential election. the
entire vote polled was 31.467, and the major-
ity for Van Buren 12,983 The aggregate
vote for Governor,‘ in 1838, was 60,074-
majority for Catlin, the Van Buren candi-
date, 996.
The einigration of foreigners, principally
Irish, to Illinois within the last two years,
has been immense. and the consequence is
an increase in the popular vote of twenty-
four thousand. Naturalization is not neces-
sary to qualifya foreigner to vote in that
state; six months residence being the sole
qualification required by law. A considera.-
ble proportion oftliis emigrant unaturalized
vote has. undoubtedly, been cast into the Van
Buren scale, and hence the statement of polit-
cal changes published by the Whig Central
Committee. of the state may have been cor-
rect, although neutralized by an immense
and unprecedented influx of alien votes.—-
Undcr these circumstances we think that M r.
Van Buren cannot claim any great increase
of popularity among the citizens of Illinois.
