The Chinese Rebellion.
The . following is an extract of a private letter;
dated Macao, March 28th:
This mail carries home news of the probable
overthrow of the Chinese - government, as the rebels
have, ere this, possession . of Nankin, which is con
sidered by the Chinese as the end of the present
rulers. It is said from there they will probably go
to Soochon, and finally, f3tanghea, then cut off the
rice and other provisions in transit to Pekin the
seat of-government.
[From the National Intelligencer, May 30.]
Commodore Aulick, late in command of the East
'lndia squadron, also returned in the Arctic. He is
bearer of despatches from the United States Com
missioner for China and from the American Em
bassy at iiondon, which were forwarded from New
York to the President yesterday afternoon. The
Commodore, we learn, will arrive in this city on
Wednesday morning.
The advice from Hong Kong, China, are to the
28th r.l March. They confirm the previous ac
counts of the seige (not capture) of Nankin by the
revolutionists ; also, that the Chinese authorities,
in their extremity, had applied to the British offi
cials for aid in quelling the insurrection. Quite
a panic prevailed at Shanghae, though all remained
quiet at Canton.
Such is the news received by way of England.
Commodore Aulick, however, who sailed from
China a fortnight earlier than the above dates, dis
credits the report that the Emperor of China had
applied to the British for assistance, as his hatred
to that people has never been intermitted: he
Commodore further thinks, that if assistance were
applied for it would not be given, as the foreigners
in China are unitedly in favor of the success of the
rebels. The present Emperor has, (he says) by
his sensuality and his addiction to opium, alienated
from himself the esteem of his people, and that he
and his corrupt cabinet are unfitted to-comprehend
-and deal with the present enlarged demands of com
merce. The Commodore considers, also, that all
tiM assistance which could be now given in aid of
the existing government would be of no service in
determining the issue of the war' '
that the triumphs
of the rebels consist in an inland progress towards
Pekin, which can in no way be effected by the o: -
erations of a naval squadron ; that the war vessels
of any nation on the station are not more than suf
ficient to protect its own interests; and finally that
more is to be hoped for, commercially arid politi.
cally, from the success of the insurgents, than by
the continuance of the reigning dynasty.
- MAN AND WOMAN POMSONED IN , T/iOY, N. Y.—
The Albany (N. Y.) Atlas, of the 27th, has the fol.
lowing account of a double murder, perpetrated in
Troy by a woman. .
OdWednesday, about 8 P. M., a woman, named
Robinson, living near the'State Dam, came into
grocery, corner of Rensselaer and River street, Troy,
kept by a young man named Timothy Lasagna,
against whose wife she had an old grudge, and
wanted to drink a glass of beer. A young woman
Present, Victorine Lubee, wa , invited to drink with
them, which she did. Mrs. Robinson took a paper
trom her pocket, containing a white powder, some
of which she put in the beer, saying it was the
nicest kind of loaf sugar. They ; both drank the
beer. The powder, which was arienic. soon began
to have its effectand physicians Were calhd, but
in spite of all their exertions, Lanegan died of the
poison about half past 7 o'clock that evening, and
the girl lingered till yesterday afternoon, at four
o'clock. The prisoner was arrested about half past
six o'clock, nearthe Troy House. When taken,
she had two pistols, one of Colt's revolvers and a
singla barrel, in her passession; both loaded. A
large number of stolen goods were found in her res
idence, to the value of one thousand dollars. The
woman, Robinson, who perpetrated the murder, is
about 30 years of age, and represented as " endow
ed with extraordinary personal beauty," but she
has long borne a most unenviable reputation. The
object of the prisoner's hate was Mrs. Lanegan, but
she refused to take the beer, lest it might sicken
her. Mr. Lanagan also objected, stating that he
was coming to Troy, and did not wish to drink
previously. The murderess however urged and fi
nally Mr. Lanagan and the young woman. Miss
Lubee, partook of it, the laver drinking only a por
tion of the glassfull. Mr. Linagan immediately
left for Troy, while Mrs. Robinson remained in con
versation with Mrs. Lanagan and Miss Lubec.—
Shortly after, Miss Lubee was taken sick, and man
ifested a disposition to vomit. Mrs. Robinson said
to her, "Do not spit it out—it will do you good.'
The guilty harridan has commenced " rolling her
eyes." and-getting up other evidences of " moral in
sanity."
SUPPOAD I\IOII.II£II.—SINGULAII AFFAIR.—The
Dodge Co. Gazelle says:
".Many of our readers will recollect that some
tiine last November we published an account of the
finding of the body of a man in the town of Aship
pun, in this county, supposed at the time to have
committed suicide and that was the decision of the
coroner. It is now supposed the man was murder
ed. The facts in the case as we learned them from
a neighbor of the deceased, are as follows: A young
man by the name of Edwin Dunda; formerly of Os-
Wego, in the state of New York, where 'his lather
now resides, had been living for two or three years
previous to his disappearance in Ashippun, and
was paying his addresses. to the daughter of Hiram
Sanders, also of Ashippun. The father (H. S.)
had forbidden young Panda from coming to his
house and having anything to say to his daughter,
and threatened, if he persisted in coming, to make
way with him. The young man continued is, visit
the daughter, and it is supposed, in the latter part
of June last, went to invite her to attend a ball,
since which time he has not been seen alive. San
ders was arrested on Tuesday last as being the
murderer, and is now in jail at this place, awaiting
his trial at, the next term of the' Circuit. Court,
which meets on the fourth Monday in May next.
'Fhe lather of the young man has recently come
from Oswego to investigate the matter, and says
the remains of the man found are those of his son.
He recognizes him from his teeth, which were very
different from common teeth—also from some of
his clothing. Miss Sanders died about tour weeks
ago, in consequence of the supposed murder of her
intended." •
AMERICAN PRISONERS IN JAvA,—The Genoa
correspondent (the American Charge de Affaires
in Sardinia) of the Newark Daily Advittiser, writes
under date of the let of May as follows:
"The Singapore Free Press, of the 18th of
March has from Java some news :bout Mr. Gibson,
proprietor of the American schooner Flirt, and his
mate..who were taken last year to Batavia from Pa 7
lembaug, accused of having endeavored to excite
the Sultan of Jambi to hostilities against the Dutch
Government. The tribunal which investigated the
case, declared that there were not sufficient mo
tives to keep them longer imprisoned. Neverthe
less these two American citizens are still prisoners.
They recently appeared before the tribunals ; the
debates lasted several days, and although the pub
lic minister proposed the most severe penalties for
the accused, they were absolved from the charge
brought against them. But they cannot be set at
liberty till the Supreme Court has prononunced their
seatence. As the Dutch Government does not al
low Consulates to exist in their Indian possessions,
,the subjects of American and European powers
are deprived of that assistance which the reFiresent ,
tives of their respective governments might give
them.
It is therefore surprising, that the Government of
the United States, so prompt to sustain the rights
of its citizens, has not taken suitable measures for
the liberation of Mr. Gibson and his mate."
HORRIBLE AFFAlR.—dltiempt of a Mother to mur
der her Children!—On Tuesday evening last, at an
early hour, a Yrs. Harper, residing in Jackson
court, between Ninth and Tenth, Race and Vine
.streets, Philadelphia, whilst under the influence of
mental derangement, made a desperate attempt to
take the life of her four young children, and to kill
herself. The neighbors were alarmed by the
screams of the children, and on going to learn the
cause, met the eldest child of the unhappy woman,
a lad of about eight years, who said that his mother
wanted to kill him, and was murdering his brothers
and sisters with a carving knife. Several persons
immediately rushed into the house, and found the
statement of the boy sadly correct. The wretched
mother they met brandishing a large knife, with
which she Lad inflicted wounds on the bodies of
three of her children, and then tried to put an end
to her own existence. One of the children, a little
girl, about 4 years of age, had received a frightful
wound in the throat, near the carotid artery; an
other, a boy of six years, had received a severe
though not dangerous gash on the shoulder; and a
third, an infant some three months old, had a bad
cut on its throat. All were bleeding profusely, and
together with the wound on the mother, presented
a most shocking sight. Every assistance was im
mediately rendered, and it is probable that all will
soon recover. The little girl, however, lost much
blood, and was seriously injured. The knife used
by the mother was, fortunately, very dull, other
wise the consequences would have been far more
serious. The mother was taken care of.
117' A certain Absalom Sharp, recently died,
without issue, in Mississippi, leaving a large prop
erty in that State, besides an estate valued at $70,-
000 in Louisiana. He had Three brothers, John.
Henry and Levi Sharp, who are supposed to reside
in Western Pennsylvania, to whom, or whose heirs
the property will probably fall, and it now remains
to be seen who will be Sharp enough to get the most
of it.

portant decision was made last week by Judge Bur
rell in the case of Pefficord vs:Blacklick Township.
It appears that a deep rut bad worn into a road
passing through said township, making it impassi
ble. In passing over the road, Mr. Petticord's horse
tramped into it, it being frozen over but not suffi
ciently to bear the walfght of the horse, arid in at
tempting to extricate himself t`.e beast broke - his
hind leg above the knee. Mr. Petticord brought an
action for the recovery of the price of the horse.—
The Judge in his charge to the Jury held that it was
the duty of the Supervisors to pass over and exam
ine the road to see whether it is in a passable con
dition; that it is not necessary, as is generally sup
posed, thatthey should be notified that a road had be
come impassible by obstructions or otherwise, that
where a road has a bad location, as through marshy
ground, etc., they should be more vigilant in ob
serving the condition thereof, and that they are on
ly excusable where acts of Providence, such as
storms and floods, preclude the possibility of instant
repair: The jury rendered a verdict in favor of

THE LATE TERRIBLE CONFLAGRATION IN CAN
anA.—Extract from a Letter dated .211onireal, May
31, 1853.-1. wrote you, some days since, in regard
to a fire in the woods in the town of Westmeath,—
Then, the half had not been told us. More recent
information shows that it was the most appalling
and destructive conflagration which had ever visi
ted the Canadas. It swept, in its mad and irresis
tible career, through the towns of Westmeath, Ross,
Bagot, Pembroke, Bronily,Horton, shear, and the
islands of Calumet and Les Allnmettes.
' The flames were driven forward wtth great im
petuosity. Hundreds of families—men, women,
and children—had to flee before the deVouring ele
ment, with nothing of their property saved but
their clothes ;—tincl these were often burned upon
their backs. Fortunately, there were .but a few
lives lost—only one aged man having, as fur as
learned, perished. Many cattle, however, hogs,
&c., were burred. Multitudes had to take refuge
in the Muskrat river, to protect their bodies; and
at one point, a small steamboat took on board a
number of families to save them from perishing ;
but the boat barely escaped, so intense was tile
heat of the burning forests on either side of the riv
er.
The country burned over extends 70 miles by 40,
and more than five hundred families are left entires
ly destitute. Even the•seed saved for planting is
gone. Meetings ail being held at various points
.to relieve the sufferers. vibe Town Council of this

Arouth, Age, Style, Taste, Beauty
and Fashion.—The seasons of life should be
arranged like those of the year. In the spring of
youth, when all is lovely and gay, then as the
green cover is spread on all the face of smiling na
ture, in brightness and beauty, so let the dress par
take of the season. Fine taste, as well as fashion,
decrees the necessity of nicely adapted garments
to age, circumstances and seasons. The mail
whose head is silvered with age, who feels not the
blood of youth dancing warmly in his veins, should
not run into extremes of dress, nor yet should hb
permit his clothing to be so far behind the times 0
to render him ridiculous. There is a becoming
fashionable dress, suitable for the age and seasons
of life as well as the season's of the year. You can
be suited in handsome style in clothing that is well
and fashionably made, of good materials that will•
fit well and become the figure and season, at the
great Clothing Bazaar of

For the rapid Cure of
COUGHS, COLDS, HOARSENESS,
BRONCHITIS, WHOOPING-COUGH,
CROUP, ASTHMA, AND
CONSUMPTION.
OF all the numerous medicines extant, (and
J some of them valuable) for the cure of pul
monary complaints, nothing have ever been bound
which could compare in its effects with this prep
aration. Others cure sometimes, but at all times
and in all diseases of the lungs and throat where
medicine can give relief, this will do it. It is
pletulant to take, and perfectly safe in accordance
with the directions. We do not advertise for the
information of those who have tried it but those
who have not. Families that have known its value
will not be without it, and by its timely use, they
are secure from the danserous consequences of
Coughs and Colds which neglected, ripen into fatal
consumption.
The Diploma of the Massachusetts Institute was
awarded to this preparation by the Board of Judges
in September 1847; also, the Medals of the three
great Institutes o Art, in this country; also the
Diploma of the Ohio Institute -at Cincinnati, has
been given to the Curator Przronei, by their
Government in consideration of its extraordinary
excellence and unsefulnese in curing affections of
the Lungs and Throat.
Read the following opinion founded on the ex
perience of the eminent Physicians of the Port yid
City of ST. JOHNS, May 8, 1851. •
Dr. J. C. Ayer,—Fite years trial of CHEM
PECTORAL in my practice, has proven what I fore
saw from its composition,
must be true, that it erad
icimes and cures the colds and coughs to which we,
in this section, are peculiarly liable.
I think' its equal has not yet been discovered,
nor do I know how a better remedy can be'made
for the distempers of the Throat and Lungs.
J. J. BURTON, M. D., F. R. S.
See what it has done on a wasted constitution,
not only in the following cases, but a thousand
more:—
• Surat:FLY, Jan. 24th, 1851.
Dr. Ayer:—ln the month of July last I was at
tacked by a violent diarrhma in the mines of Cali
fornia. I ret 'riled to San Francisco in hope of re
ceiving benefit from a change of climate and diet.
My diarrma ceased, but was followed by a severe
cough—and more soreness. I finally started for
home, but received no benefit from the voyage.—
My cough continued to grow worse, and when I
arrived in New York, I was at once marked by my
acquaintances as a victim of consumption. I must
conlovs that I saw no sufficient reason to doubt
what my friends all believed. At this time I corn
fficnced taking your truly invaluable medicine with
little expectation of deriving any benefit from its
use. You would not receive these lines did I not
regard it my duty to state to the afflicted, through
you, that my health, in the space of eight months,
is fully restored. I attribute it to the use of your
Cherry Pectoral. Yours truly, r
WILLI/01 W. SMITH.
WASme+ avail, Pa., April 12, 1848.
Dear sir •—Feeling taut I have been spared from
premature grave, through your instrumentality by
the providence of God, I will take the liberty to
express to you my gratitude.
A cough of the alarming symptoms of Consump
tion had reduced me too low to leave me anything
like hope, when my physician brought me a bottle
of your "Pectoral." It seemed to afford immedi
ate relief, and now in a few weeks time has resto
red me•to sound health. If it will do for others
what it has done for me, you are certainly one o
the benefactors of mankind. . _
Sincerely wishing you every blessing, I am
Very respecfully yours,
JOHN J. CLARKE, Rector of St. Peter's Church.
With such assurance and from such men, no
stranger proof can be adduced unless it be from
its &litchi upon trial.
