Arrival OF the Hon. Caleb Cushing from


China and Mexico.


The arrival of Mr.. Gushing, the late and success
full American Minister, sent to China, was announ-
ced at noon yesterday, he having reached this port
by the Eugenia from Vera Cruz. Mr.. Cushlpg
brings dates twenty-three days later from Canton,
and ten days later from Mexico. The news is
highly important, and will be found at length in
our columns to-day. Our private correspondence
is particularly full.


BY this arrival we learn that the fortunes OF
Santa Anna are waning every day-and we should
not be surprised if, before this time, he had been
either executed as a rebel chief, or driven out OF
the country The election Of Mr.. Polk had been
announced in Mexico, but neither that nor the an
nexation OF Texas to the United States, created
any particular attention. II is the opinion OF Mt.
Gushing that The star of Santa Anna has set for
ever Such state OF things must aid the purposes
of the United States in completing the annexation
of Texas without any difficulty.


In relation to China, Mr.. Gushing brings home
the original of the new treaty, with vast amount
of information, relative to our future diplomatic
relations with that great country. He goes to
Washington direct this afternoon, and no doubt
his presence there will create great sensation.


The extraordinary diplomatic talent displayed
bysMr. Gushing in the Chinese negotiations, point
to him the best minister to succeed the amiable
learned and imbecile Mr. Everett, now in London
new era OF diplomacy is dawning on Europe and
America, and the United States Government will
require and original men to manage their pub
lie affairs.


ANTI. RENT TRoUBLEs.-These troubles, which
are spreading In various parts of this State, are
causing considerable inquiry as to how they origi.
mated, and how they have been raised TO their pre-
sent extent.


We perceive that the newspapers OF both factions
are charging each other with aiding in this matter,
and each denying it for itself. Itcould be easily
proved in any court OF law that the organs of both
factions have been flaming the fame of this nsur-
rection Tor some time past. The Tribune justified
the cause Of the antirent movement before the
election, and did the Piebeian. In this city il is
well known fact that Ely Moore was nominated
by the antrent party here to advocate the non-pay-
ment Orient; and to divide the public lands between
those who had none. We know the movements
that took place in Columbia and other counties full
well. One of the principal advocates of these
proceedings published paper here, and travelled
throughout the various counties in this State.
