The London Times says war between and Mexico is inevitable. ,i„ a —Advices from China to the 15th December, say that the Emperor had prohibited bis subjects from trading with {s§( English under penalty of death. HONG KONG, Jan. 15.—N0 further op erations have taken place against Canton. The (official despatches give the details of ah attempt, on the part ot the Chinese, to re-take the Tee to-tum Fort and an attack on She British ships by a vast number of Chi: esc junks. The attack was well con- Mi d, being made at low water, when the large ships could not manoeuvre, but tggs brilliantly repelled. Admiral Sey mOT,!- had abandoned the Dutch Fort and nctory Gardens, and strengthened his SLiiious lower down the river. Recruits were expected from Singapore. All the Wfcern suburbs of Canton were burned ■ the 12tb January, by the English. A large tire had also oceured inside the city, 'llie Mandarins of the various districts ha issued the most blood thirsty edicts a- Rttsi the English and had offered rewards for assassinations and incendiarism. ■At I long Kong ali the Chinese have Hen ordered to quit the services of for- Bpgiiers, am! return under tile penalty of H- desiruction of their relatives remain in. at home. Consequently nearly all the Gl inese servants hoi left tlieir situations. Le ters received from Hamburg, sa f the jjihate advices from Hong Kong are most inning.

It should he a matter of national regret ia( llie recent calm in this he-vexed ter tnrv has been sncceetie! the prompt exercise of power in cir cumstances of doubt and difficulty, but, giving all these considerations their proper "weight, the fact still stands prominently out that mainly to his efficient and manly idininistration of the Kansas government was the nation indebted for relief from a series of exciting occurrences, tbe true merits of which it was difficult to under stand, but which, occurring at a period when the country was involved in a heated political struggle, were exercising a disas trous influence in exasperating and perpet uating sectional differences. 'Phis was an accomplishment that it would he un grateful to forget, and which should now have a potent influence itt inducing the administration to send him hack to the Governorship with such ample support as would at once settle the question as to the supremacy of llie laws in that region. No other appointment, however good in itself, would so effectually quiet the renewed ag itation in Kansas.— Baltimore American. &3&The Hellefonte Whig gives an account of a number of persons in " the great State of Snow Shoe," Centre county, disposing of n Mrs. Shealer, who, we presume, is a rather f a J ' lady, in a very novel manner a few weeks ago.
