I ATU ASD IMPORTANT FrtOIM KlUOPK ThcaeVct ship North America arrived at New Vork on Saturday morning, In 24 dnya from Liver pool, brings London dates to iho Clh, and Liverpool in the 7th of January. Tho information of any in riesl by tliii arrival, relates entirely to tho affair be tween England and China. The overland mail had tn ivr J. The London papers announce the sen- Missiosr of China to (he demand of England. It would rather teem that the Chinese have consented m treat with litem, which, nftci all, tuny amount to marly the anmo thing. Our files came duty to hand. If the information which we have is correct, i!ie news is a'l important to the British. The affair v ith China is arranged, tho Cahoot war i termina ted, and tho hostility of the Sheika removed. From tho London Mercantile Gazette. Lnxnox, Wednesday evening, Jan. C. China, India mill Egypt. The Chinese question is settled the war in Cubool it terminated and Mehcmd Alt it thoroughly 'and effectually subdued. We are to day enabled to place bif ro our lea ders iinpoitunt in'eligenco fioin the East, which nnnot fail to bo productive of much gratification to eery individual who can so far divest himself of pasty feelings as to rejoice over the signal successes of (i.ciit Britain abroad under any administration. The news from China and India wo have recei ved by (lie overland mail; the iiilelligcnco from the farmer having been conveyed to Culcuttti by II. M. Cruiser. Our advices from Alexandria tire to the 21th ult. nnd wo are in possession of journals and advices from Malta to the 28th. The intelligence from China is as gratifying as it is important, ntid it is especially satisfactory be muse it hears with it this grenl 2cs-t it was unex pected; so littlo importance had been attached to t!ie process announced ly l!ie last ovorland mail to hove been made ly tho Chinese expedition. It ippcaia howevi r, that the Chinese question is Iho nmhJy sctlhd that the occupation of Chusan, and tho proceedings of Admiral Elliot have brought 'he Emperor of China to his senses, and that he has offered to send plcnepotentiorios to Canton ot Ninppo, foi tho arrangement of all matters in differ ince with Great Biitain. Shortly afier tho capture of Chus.m, Admiral El'iol, in preceding to the Pccho river, was met by i mandar'n of tho third rank of the Chinese Eui p:re, though somo ccc 'unts say by the Emperor himself, while others affnm that Admiral Elliot had a. rived at Pcliin, and had an audience of :he Em peror. Tiie Emperor has agreed to pay .C3,000,000 for 'he expenses incurred by tho Liiiii-.li in making war ; o her authorities state 2,000,000 sterling, as indemnity for the opium seized, and X 1,000,000 for nil tho expenses of the war. Tho Emperor, c'ther himself or through his officers, has expressed pacific intentions to the Admiral, and he disavows the actions of his cinimi-Bioncr Lin.

It has seldom fallen to our lot to publish such t mass of vitally important intelligence from so many qurtcrs in which deeply 'valuable British interests have been at stake as that which we have thus re ferred lo. Tho results cannot fail to be in the highest de gree satisfactory. Tho power of British arms has been recognized, or vindicated, tho expense of long-protracted and di-tanl wars hSs been saved, and an end has been pul to that instability of affairs the most dantjeious to her commerce generally, however profitable in particular cases which must have given to mere speculation a most unhealthy impetus. The i ffects of the Chinese intelligence have been already fell. The price of tea at the timo we write (3 o'cloik) has fallen Seven pence per 11'., whilst that of East India cotton has risen. The caii'O of tho lormcr ihangeis obvious; the cause of the latter is, that large quantities of cotton which, had the war continued, would have been shipped for this country, will when the usual trade shall l ave been again opened ot Canton, be sent to that port j and wo are aware that in August la-t one nalive merchant (Ji m-et Jcc) had in his pos session, wailing the turn of events, upwards of 100, 000 bales of this article. M alters have thus already begun to set.te down lo the level of a wholesome standard. We hasten to place before our readers the follow ing extracts from a letter we have just rc-civ, d, da ted Chusan, September 30th. Several others which we shall publish to night, are beforo us, much more full particulars, but the following contains the head and tho front, of the news from Chinj. Tho Admiral, Elliot, arrived in tho Wrllesley, on the 28;h from the Gulf of Pe-clic-!ee, as I beforo told you. The result of his negotiation, at the in ulh of the Peho, with tho 3d in rank in the Chinese Empire; is not fully known, but I may say, that the Emperor is willing to apologise for the insult inflicted upon Capt. Elliott, and thai his Excellency Lin is to be punished in any way which we please. The Chops weie couched in very civil language, containing none of the oil'ensiw epithets so freely apjdied to Europeans on former occasion. The Emperor had been kept in ignorance of Lin's pro ceedings, but many of (he Nobles of the Court had perfect Information relative to the Viceroy's conduct at Canton. In referring Admiral Elliot to Canton, for the settlement of the inatler in dispute, the Em peror said through his interpreter, that granting nil which you say to be true, it would be exceedingly unjust to condemn Lin without giving him a hear ing; besides Lin's report is quite different Tom yours. I will send plenipotentiaries to Canton to make proper inquiries and who afterwards will ar range with you there. This reasonable course may have been adopted for the purpose of removing the Admiral from tbo vicinity of tho capital ; in that the Empcrot has succeeded, but nevertheless, the Expedition has effected something ; the men-of-war have carefully surveyed the Gulf of Pecch le, and have partially explored the mouth of the Pe ho; tho Emperor too, has fit himself obliged to reciive the baibaiians in a polite manner, and has acknowledges- "Victoria" to be the 0.uecn of a great nation. The Madagascar steamvessel crossed the bar at the mouth of tho Pe ho, and ascended tho river for about two mile-; iho vessel created great astoni.-hmetit in tho minda uf tho people congregated on tho banks, and on the neighbouiing hills. In the gulf, the weather was clear and cool, the thermometer falling as low as CO. C'omiiiri'ce of Leeches. All our I, eches are imported fiom Hamburg.

(Brenmer, lixcurs. in the interior of Russia, vol. ii. p. 10H, IS39.) Leeches are sometimes imported in bags, but more usually in small barrels, each holding about 2000, the head being made of stout c invjs, lo admit the air. 'j he Wii vessels for pristiving these otiiuuU are Liigljed blown pans or wooden tubs. The dcaieis have a notion (and possibly a correct one) that the leaden glazing is injurious. These pans should bn very littlo more than half tilled with soft water (pond, river or rain water.) This docs not require changing so often as is commonly supposed. In very hot weather, or when the water has be. conic bl. ody, or otherwise much discoloied.it should lie changed every day or so, otherwise, in summer every f ur or five days or a week, in winter once a month, is believed by large dealers to be sufficient.

Among them is ore for a new county out of part of Nordiuiubeilund, Dauphin and Schuylkill, to bo Called Mmo. A bill has bieu reported 10 that effect. Mr. llorton reported a further suppli mint, lo the act incorporating the Sunbury Canal Company. ronstvss. In Congress the most exciting, and wo may say a! ali.-orbing lopie, is the bill for the dirlribution of tho proceeds of the public lands. This bill will be supported by both our Senators, Mr. Buchannan and Mr. Sturgeon. Indeed, we cannot see how any man in Prnnsi Ivauia, capable of understanding his right, having any regard for the true interest of the Mate, could oppose such a measure. Mr. Sturgeon, in presenting the resolutions of the bgi.-daiuie if Pennsylvania, expressed himself as foMows, which we copy from the Baliimoro American: "Mr. Surgeon said he should comply with the instructions, and for the reason that ho believed lhat the piople of tho Slate were in fuvor of distribution Were the question involved in the resolutions put to the people, ho believed they would vote for them, and complying with the instructions of lb legisla ture and ihe wishes of the people, Le would vote for the amendment Introduced by the Senator from Kentucky, (Mr. Crittenden.)" 'i he same paper gives the following account of some angry remarks between Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Muuguin, the Senator uf North Carolina 1 ' Leaving the land question, Mr. Calhoun came to Suinu of kis personal grievances. He complain ed of a Senator's remarks in reference to himself, and w as disposed to consider ihem as personal. The Senatoi from Noilh Carolina replied to him, as ho said from one of two motives either from en mity to himself, or from desire 1 1 become the in strument of gratifying ihe malignity of another (meaning Mr. CLy, I presume) who was known lo be 110 friend la hiiu.

C. had mado these Imputa tions. Ha had but strongly insinuated something of the sort. The Senator knows mo better than lo make any such imputations upon me. I feel as humble as any body but humble at I foel, I can tell the Senator thM I would not descend to notice him; but, as a man of honor, I do not see how I could avoid no ticing him, holding the opinions he seems to have insinuated. While, said Mr. M. I hold a seat in tho public councils, I shall never bow to power nor stoop to flattery. I never Lave done il, and the Senator knows it. The Senator makes a most extraordinary exhibi tion.

From the Pennsylvania Inquirer. To tlie Prcsl'lrnt nnd Mnniigrra of the llonrd of Traite. GnTr.KE5, As all mailers relating lo the trade of Ihe city, hive in some measure been dele gated to your care, I beg leave to draw your alien' lion to Ihe condition and prsspects of the Danville nnd Putlsvill Hail Koad, a work which was origin ally projected for the purpose of securing tho trade of tho Susquehanna; but was obliged to give way to more fashionable objects, which have attained the altitude of their merits, and left the abused mind of tho public to rest upon less deceptive enterprizes. Believing then, that it is within your province to inquire into, and report the facts to those interested, I have no doubt thai you will listen with attention, and report with candor all matters of importance to the Irsde of the city. The fact that the work is completed lo Giraidvitle on tho East, on.l from the town of Shamokin lo Sunbury on the West, wilh but twelve miles lo connect and complete it, is perhaps known to you all. But it is not so well understood that the wes tern rection from Shamokin to Sunbuiy is in com plete operation, and in another year will pay a handsome percentage-upon the cost of i!s construc tion. Late in the reason this year, the operations were commenced, and 15,808 tons of coal were transported to Sunbury, paying at the rales allowed by law $ 9,184 80; 1C0 tons mdze 500 tons bricks and limestone; 60,000 feet lumber, ami 3400 pas sengers, weie also conveyed over the road. Bu this is but tho beginning. The town of Shamokin already contains over 100 houses, with a furnace of the largest class ready for ihe blast. The second furnace is being built, and will be pul in blast during iho summer; which, together, will require about 10,000 tons-of ore, and (iOOO tons limestone. The toll on all this, with tho manufactured article, will amount lo f 10,91 1. Then, if we consider the in crease of Ihe Iron business, and add $,8000 for every furnace, Iwsidcs the produce, Ihe merchandize and the travel of the consuming population, it will not be difficult to estimate the general advantages of the work. There are also contracts for delivering 50, 000 Ions of coal from this region during the next sea on, and w ithout considering the increase, which we hnve a right 10 expect, the receipts of the road will be not less than the following estimate : 50,000 tons of Coal, ut 60 cts. per ton, f 30,000 23,210 tons of Ore, Limrsono and Metal, 16,941 5,000 Passengers, at 50 els, 2,500 1,000 Merchandize, Ac. 600 Lumber, 500 50,544 But if wo look at the number of Furnaces and other Iron Works along the Susquehanna, in which Urge quantities of coal is consumed at the market which is opened by Ihe Tide Water Canal, and then at the quality of Ihe coal and the extent of the region, we may safely infer that 200,000 tuna for the succeeding year, will be about the business of that end of the road. On the west branch of the Schuylkill, 200,000 ions is the estimate for next year, and as this region is much less in extent, and their rail road is dividing 14 per cent, we cannot pul the coal business from the Shamokin, at less Admitting then the amount, the toll at 60 cents per ton, would bo $120,000, without any estimate for the increase of Furnaces, or for any of the trade that must necessarily pass over the road. With the amount already expended and the sum necessary to complete the works, the whole capital will not exceed 1,000,000; and if the business as sumes the character, that the preparations at Shamo kin at present indicate, that end of ihe road will more than pay the interest uf the money. Bui if we add 10 Furnaces, each averaging 60 ions per w rck, and each giving to the road not less than 1 3, 000 tons per annum, it will not be difficult to prove lhat the Danville and Poltsville Rail Road, will be the most profitable work in the country. With out the great trade of the Susquehanna, for which il was originally projected, and without which our city cannot prosper, its local business alone will make it a pr .fit able investment. The Iron business is already beginning to show ils importance, and as tho discovery has been made, lhat it is cheaper In bring the ore lo the fuel, than ihe fuel to tho ore, iho Shamokin and Mahaney regions, from the low price of the land, is the location for the Iron Works. This fact is sufficiently clear lo those wlio under land the business, and to those who are ignorant, it will be equally clear when they are told that fuel is much the Urges t ingredient in smelting and refi ning a ton of Iron. But without attempting to enforce upon your minds, estimates, of which yati have had upon pa p r a quantum tutlicit, I would draw your attention lo ihe fact, lhat ihe Danville Furnace is producing to her owners 40 tons uf metal per week, and that contracts are offered to build, and put in blast, fur usee sequally govd fur 1 5,000 each. Then a, iUi furnace la of the emallcst class, under 8 feet in th boshes, and requiring as many hands to work her at one of the 1st class the fuel also costing $2,50 p. ton, and notwithstanding the combustion and posi tion, she is mnkina; money for her owners is it not probable that where the fuel is so cheap, costing not over CO cents per ton to mine it, lhat upon the line of this road the chief iron works of iho country will be established. With this trade, however, at it now elands, nnd with all the prospects for tho future, is it right that the citizens of Philadelphia should suffer it to flow into the Chesapeake, when its tendency is this way or is it the interest of those who have expended to much money in ships in tow boats ice boats wharves wherehouses rail roads and canals, to suffer thia work to rot, this trade to escape, and their hopes to vanish, without inquiring into the facts t I think not, and therefore suggest that a committee, not of brokers or shavers, but of sober sensible met chants, be appointed to visit the route inquire In to the particulars, and make a formal report lo the citizens. A PHILADELPHIA??. The Cnal Trade of Pennsylvania. Scarce three centuries have elapsed since the va lue or coal was fust discovered, and it is now in general use in both England and America, and ap plied to many highly useful and valuable purposes. It is evident that although the United States possets almost boundless forests of limber, yet that in cer tain portions of the country, and in the immediate vicinity of the large seaboard cities, there must ne cessarily be a considerable deficiency of it experien ced, and indeed now, although the demand for wood has been much lessened by the extensive use of coal, tome owners of forests contiguous to the na vigable streams on tho Atlantic coasts, have actual ly refused to fell lheir trees unless for timber pur poses and ut an increased recompense, they consi dering them entirely too valuable to be felled for the mere purposes of fuel, and look forward to the day as not being far distant when their value will increase four-fold. When the timber of a country is used for fuel, there soon becomes a scarcity of it, and especially where it is tho interest of the landhol der to clear his ground for purposes of agriculture, which is the case throughout the inland stales. In England and Ireland, turf and peat had Leen used from timo immemorial before tho introduction of coal, and ils value was so littlo known for nearly four centuries after its discovery, that it was only used by the poor in the absence of other fuel. The coal trade of England is now said to be 21,000,000 tons, and gives employment to 150,000 colliers. The inconveniences anticipated from a scarcity of fuel, occasioned by the rapid decrease of woodland in the vicinity of our city, have been dispelled by the coul discoveries in the heart of the state, which will doubtless supply oil our wunts in that line for centuries lo come. Besides their value in the man ner just named, they are destined to become a great source of wealth to the Stale itself, by creating a revenue which is annually augmenting, and which forms one of those natural and exhaus'.less resour ces that will stand by her in nil emergeniies, and contribute largely to retrieve her from present dif ficulties. Pennsylvania, backed by her coal mines, enjoys a greater certainty of future greatness, than though she possessed all the rich mines of Peru. Philadelphia Chronicle. The Story of a Defaulter. We recently adverted lo the defalcation of James L. Hawkins of Ihe Franklin Bank of Baltimore, to the amount of 138,000 nearly one fourth of the capital. The Boston Atlas has a long and interest ing account of this individual. It is stated that he resigned his office in the bank la-t summer, before it was known to any, save the directorship, that he was largely indebted to the institution. He had been its cashier for twenty years, during all which lime he was believed by the woild to be a man of incorruptible integrity. When he fir?t entered the institution he was poor, but his salary increased gradually till it reached twenty five hundred dollars, and a dwlling; yet it was certain that his expen sive style of living could leave but little to be laid up from this source. He first received some ten thousand dollars from his wife's estate, and this he is understood lo have invested so fortunately, that ihe ten thousand grew lo twenty, then to thirty, and forty, and fiflv; and going on in equally fortu nate investments and speculations, it grew to one hundred thousand. Then he drew a prize of twen ty thousand dollars in a lottery, and fortune smiled on him, every tiling prospered with him, and ho be came a wealthy man. B.U he was prospering by fraud the while. L ke Dabney and Levis, ho had ventured once to oppropirate to his own use a small amount of the property of the bank; and, the Rubi con parsed, compunctious visitings weie like those of the angels. He paused not, until, by chance, du ring Lis absence, for a brief time, last spring, his long concealed frauds were discovered, and then surrendering privately Lis property to the bank, he precipitately left Baltimore. His wife, on learning lhat he bad became involved in pecuniary difficul ties, sent for ono of ihe directors and handed him a release of dowry in the real estate. She had then no thought that crime could be laid to Lit charge, and it was only two weeks ago that the fact was made known to ber. She was a devoted and affec tionate wife, noble heartedand high spirited one who could have met poverty with a smile, but, as she said, could not survive dishonor. She sank quickly under the accaroulaiion of mental suff ring, and on the evening of the 16th, died if a broken heart. She told those around her that she was dying, and besought them to feud for her husband. He came from Lit concealment in time to receive the last look of the partner of his young years, and the solace of his old age the victim of bis crimes, whose parting words were yet of forgiveness and affection.

NEW VOTIIC AND PKNNT1WANI A. It appears by the recent censut of these two states, lhat the rate of increase in ihe Keystone, hat been considerably more than in New York, during the last ten years. New York upon a ctock of 1,913,508, hot an in crease of 614,227, while Pennsylvania with stock of only 1,847,679, hat an increase of 415,862. Had the ra'e of increase In Pennsylvania been the same as in New Yoik, our population would be now 83,000 lest than the census shows it to be. The rate of increase in Pennsylvania hat been rather more than thiity-three per cent., while in New Y'ork, it wat rather lest than twenty-seven per cent. This is, no doubt, a result more favorable to our slate than hat been generally anticipated. In the preceding ten yean, the population of New York increased 640,796, being 26,000 more than in the last ten ; while in Pennsylvania, (he population in the former period increased only 298,359, lieing 147,603 less than in the last period. Thus it appears lhat the population of our state hat started forward wilh fresh vigor, while that o. New York has received a chock. We think there would be no hazard in predict ing lhat the ensuing ten years will give a still mon favorable exhibition of the comparative increase o our population. Our internal improvements are advancing to com plclion, and our vasl mineral resources are rapidlv developing themselves, and adding to our wcaltt and population. Both these causes will be operating with full vif or during the next ten years, and cannot fail t give cheering results. it A . Mil . t:. Tita Onto Bask Bill.

The Bill proposes to incorporate the State Hun of Ohio, with branches, having in the whole a cap tal of twelve millions of dollars. This is to consti lute tho banking capital of the State. The corpc rate batiks now existing, are authorized to subacid' their stock lo the Stale Bank, not execrding thei available capital. Each branch bank is to have separate corporate existence, and to derive separat profits. The whole system is to be under Ihe di rettion of a Board of Control, elected by the Bian dies, each voting in proportion toils stock. The organization being thus complete, the open lions of the system are to be regulated as follows: The Board of Control has the sole power of i suing the 'circulation ; they furnish it lo iho brar ches, countersigned by their Pres'dent and by th Cashier of the Branch. The Board of Control ai to determine the amount of the circulation of eac branch, according to the business and character the place wheie it is located ; but in no case sha any branch issue a circulation greater than twit the amount of its capital. F01 the further tccurii of the bank notes, a Fund it to be raised by a te on Ihe dividends, increasing as the dividends ii crease. This fund is to be invested, and the int rest re-invested, until it amounts to one-tenth oft! , whole capital of the branches ; and in case that 1 branch becomes insolvent its notes are to be redeei 1. ed immediately by the other branches, aad ihey a a to be reimbursed from the Fund. The affairs of tl e insolvent branch are to be settled by a trustee ap pointed by the Board of Control. To preserve a uniformity of exchanges, the pa per of each branch it to be taken at any other branch, and Ihe payment of all duea to the State. Il is made the duty of the Board of Control to visit by ihe committee, the different branches, to regulate exchanges, settle balances, Ac. With regard to Directors and Stockholders it is provided thut the directors are to act under oath, and to lie liable in lheir individual capacity ; and that no stockholder shall owe a branch more than the amount of his stock actually paid in.
