LATER FROM CANTON.
By an arrival at Providence, from Canton,
news has been received a few days later than
already published. As far as we can judge
from the matter, the intelligence is to the
11th of July.
The blockade was vigorously enforced at
the Bogne, but the British merchants were
complaining loudly of the laxity of the
squadron in permitting the other entrances
to be entirely free from the presence of a
vessel of war.
There was some Americans at Canton,
‘but by the following paragraph frotn the
'Canton Register it would seem theyare re-
commended to leave forthwith. the Regis-
ter says:
A fast-boat from Canton has brought the
intelligence that a day or two ago all the
hong merchants were sent for into the city
by the Governor, who expressed a wish to
see all the foreigners in Canton within the
"city: this wish he afterwards abandoned;
but the hong merchants, when they returned
from the city, described the governor us be-
ing highly enraged at the capture of the salt
junks, and recommended the foreigners forth-
with to leave Canton.
Total export of Teas to Great Britain to
July ll, was 28,712,926 lbs. and 2,572 bales
of raw silk, and to the United States about
254,000 chests often.
Several English merchants were prepar-

-ingio leave Macao, and expected to be able
to procure building lots on the Island of Chu-
san, which they confidently expected would
soon be in possession of her niajesty’s forces,
and be perinanentiy held as one of her ma
jesty’s colonies.
Two American ships inside. They will
be obliged to ‘lay out the blockade, as they
.went in after it was declared. and of course
are prizes if they attempt to come otit.
The Merchant, Adelaide 3.. Washington,
Americans, brought to by the Hyacinth at
the Bogue, and‘ sent to Cap Sing Moon, were
‘not released, but would be, without doubt.—
They are about lialfloaded, and will proceed
to Manilla when released, to complete their
"cargoes.
That the demands of the English will be re-
cognized by the Emperor. cannot be expect-
ed. and neither is it possible that there will
be a re-opening of the trade for two years to
come. However, even the wisest heads are
ptizzled as to the result ofthe present un-

TO PARENTS.
Will you permit me Mr. Editor, to call the
attention of parents and teachers. and the friends
ofedncation generally. to a subject which inter.
ests them much more deeply than most ofthetr:
are probably aware of? -Indeed. I doubt wheth-
er oneiu ten oftheni know that there is a month-
ly journal published at Hartford, called the
Common School Journal—the design of which
is to awaken and enlighten public opinion on
the subject of popular education. It is publish-
ed under the direction of the Board of Commis.
sioner of Common Schools-, and is edited by the
Secretary ofthe Board, who for years past has
devoted all the energies of his rich mind to this
most interesting and important subject. This
Journal is now in the ttiird year of its existence.
I have read it from its first publication. with in-
creasing interest and profit, and supposed there
were thousands of patents and teachers in this
state who were sharing with me in the pleasure
and benefits derived from its perusal. Judge.
then, of my surprise and mortification at seeing
the following staieiiicnt in the last number of
this Journal. '
Third Volume of the Journal, because we
received written and personal assurances
from the active friends ofconiinon schools in
different parts ofthe State, that the previous
volumes had been of some service in awake-
ning and enlightening ptiblic opinion on this
Subject. and we were unwilling to forego
object of ' our appointment. As we have
beeri.un-able from the outset to induce any
publisher toundeitake the business of los-
ing money.in this way, we have had all the
labor of editor, publisher, proof reader, and
to some extent, packer and director of the

printers bills, &c. atnoiinting in the two
years to over.twelve hundred dollars. The
expense oftliis voltimc of 192 quarto pages,
which if printed in the same type and in the

tion of the Statutes, will exceed $1000.
The follows the subscription list, amounting to
392! and of this nniiiber, Fairfield County
takes but eleven .’
Well may the editor say
‘This to be sure is rathera mortifying ex.
hibit of the financial prosperity ofthe Jour-
nal, and is another evidence ofthe little re-
liance which can be placed on the promises
ofco-operation in this cause, which are so
freely given, but so-lamely redeemed.
I trust, Mr. Editor, that this simple statement
of facts will ofitselfbe sufficient to elicit on our

tricity burst upon the earth casting a glare ofin-
‘tense light. The report was similar to the
rumbling of distant thunder. Whether this was
genuine dunder and blixon. or some meteoric
imitation, we know not. All admit that it was
fsingular and startling. Its effect upon us, per-
haps was peculiar. on account ofour peculiar sit-

MURDERERS Ait1u:s'ran.-Our readers,
no doubt, have fresh in mind the murder of
young Phelps at Brooklyn a few weeks
since and the arrest. on suspicion of being
the murderer, of a deaf and dumb boy. and
his subsequent release from suspicion. From
that time the exertions of the authorities
were indefatiable, to discover the perpetra-
tors, and we are happy "to learn. that on Sat-
urday last their exertions were crowned
with success in the arrest of a lad by the
name of Cook, and three others, his associa-
tes. This lad, who it seems is but 18 years
of age, was at the head of a gang of young
men. who associated themselves together for
the purpose, and had actually committed
without discovery, several most daring bur‘
glaries. It is said that a proposition was
inadeiby this gang to the murdered boy,
Phelps, for the purpose of obtaining his co-
operation in the robbery of his fathers’s
house, which be instantly refused, and threat-
ened to inform his father of their designs.
Fearing the boy would put his threat‘ into
execution, they immediately threatened him
with death, and on his persisting. murdered
him on the spot where his body was found.
The leader of the gang, the son of a mem-
ber of the New Yorlti‘ Bar, resident at
Brooklyn, it is said. has confessed the facts
detailed above, as also the names of his ac-
complices, two of whom are yet at large.

The Ca.nse.——In relerrence to the recent
suicide of David Underhill, Post Master at
Amherst, N. H. The Nashua Telegraph
says—" There is little dotibtthat the woman,
who has been missing since the night ofthe
deed passed through this town on Friday,
taking the cars for Lowell or Boston.” To
this the Boston Post adds as follows :—“The
female referred to is a young girl who resi-
ded in Mr. Underhill’s family as a domestic.
The evidence of an improper intimacy be-
tween her and Mr. U. having become too
strong to be disguised, she left Amherst for
this city, and the fear of exposure, undoubted-
ly, was the cause of the suicide. The friends
of the young woman have been here, and
found her in a public house, and returned to
Amherst with her, we understand.

in relation to your valuable remedy for coughs,
colds, hoarseness, irritation ofthe throat. The
writer was severely and painfully afiiicted with
a hoarseness oftliree months standing: ,I made
-zrialof numerous advertised remedies. all to no
effect. At the time of my aiflictioul resided at
St. Johns, New Brnnswich. America ; my voice
wasso far gone thatl could notarticulate above
a whisper. and I feared in voice was gone en-
tirely. Ireside in New 'o.'k, and here I ob-
tained Peasn's Horehound Candy; I made use
oftwo large packages of the same. and I most
unqualifiedly say that I now have the full com-
mand of my voice. and so great a blessing has
it_been to me that I feel bound to communicate
my case to the public.
