 February, and brings accounts of her own aTriva

 ct China. This IS her first voyage. She has pro

 we'd herself one of the best sailing vessels out O

 A letter from Canton, dated June 5th, says that lthe crop of tea had been recently all shipped.

 The proposed alterations in the English sugar duty would, it is feared, efectually check allship ments of white, or clayed, sugar from China. < , From the Friend of China of May 3l, we have the following particulars of dreadful calamity It says: M

 On Sunday afternoon, fire broke out in thea Ire within the walls of the city it has been the cause of melancholy loss of life, as we'll as the destruction of much property.

 The theatre formed the centre of~a square, to which there was only access by one narrow lane.

 After the fire was observed, the audience endea- ,vored to escape by the lape but unfortunately the crowd from without were trying to force their way into the square, and prevented large number oi those whowere within, from obtaining egress-the two bodies appear to have got jammed, the great est confusion prevailing. < It is supposed that upwards of eight hundred lives were lost by the fire, the falling timber, or borne down by the crowd and sufocation. The bodies so horribly muilated. their friends can- not recognize them; in consequence of this, hun- dreds lay unclaimed, and the worst consequences are 10 be apprehended from their exposure in such a climate at this season.

 It is to be hoped that the city authorities will have them buried at once though from the na-

 ional prejudices of the people with regard to the dead, and the ilal affection which prompts them

 to pay great respect to the ashes ct their departed kindred. it is feared that days will be allowed to elapse before the unclaimed and unrecognized are disposed of. s ,. .....

 By the Mandarin's books, the total number of killed is 1,257, including g male and female act- ors; the wounded are estimated at 2,100. ..

 On Monday-the day after the fre-part of the ruined wall fell and killed 30 more, wounding sev- eral others.

 It is rather remarkable that thirty years ago, a similar accident happened at the same theatre. At that time, the authorities forbade dramatic perfor- mances by the inhabitants; the present company outside people. It is anticipated that an edct will be issued. strictly prohibiting all such exhl- bitions in future.

 The authority have purchased 46O cofins for the bodies that have not been claimed. ard they will be inferred immediately. A large portion of the dead are females and it is feared that not few were murdered by the robbers that infest the city purpose to obtain bracelets and other ornaments

 Leaders.-A paper in New York-the Merch- ants and Strangers Regisier-aims to establish style of writing leaders peculiarly its own. Un. der the head of What is the excitement To-Day? it remarks as follows: 1

 The desperate ain, which at some obscure hour of last night, while honest folks were asleep, be- gan dropping softly from the hluest and clearest sky that ever smiled, grew bold as the moon went down, and atday light. was pattering away merri- ly against The shutters with that drowsy music, making SO Malicious an accompaniment to the fugi- tive melodies of morning dreams. Some people dislike rain-it makes them gloomy, ill.natured, and desponding. And to own the truth, it took us somewhat over thirty years to learn the true philosophy of rain, and to be happyiM all sorts of weather. Science has performed wonders but it's greatest achievements will be to clear up stormy weather to the comprehension of the million. In the meantime, Broadway in such days as this, will continue't to be deserted of the ladies, newsboys will droop and languish over untold and unscld heaps of penny papers (exclusive sof The Regis. fer ) and commercial editors will report no out, door transactions on account of the weather "- Nassau street will hold its regular Umbrella Pro. cession, and the science of dodglng lamp pposts on Inc one hand, and your. .neigbbor's umbrella with he other eye, will continue to be in vogue.

 In the mean time, what is the excitement for to- day New York without an excitement, is scarce- y to be called New-York :--and it must be a new one, too, for every day. At most, an excitement of ordinary intensity will last us iorty.eight hours First, the morning papers come out with all the the evening journals have the,r shy at it, with abundant and important additional and ''astounding developement'- then the morning gossips again dilate and magnify upon every before aforementioned and trivial de- through every bone and joint. nerve and sinew, down to the very broken heart of he subj bject-and the meal over, leaving nothing behind but the appetitefor new one.
