^ ? ' ' T The Consul's demand for the return of the per-v j sens seized was, however, complied with as alrea- | dy stated, but he required a letter of apology and an assurance that such an occurrence shouldrfiev- ! er happen again. Of this demand no notice was taken, and the Consul hands the matter over to Admiral Seymour, who requests an interview, which, in conformity to usage, the Governor declines. Thereupon the Admiral proceeded to a j bombardment of the city, which had already resulted jn.a fearful loss of life, nnd was still in pro- . . gfess-attfee'departure of the muit. It is not quite clear,, therefore, that the Eiitisli were in the right; and it is very evident that the alleged offence, i even if it were actually committed, is sadly inade- j quate to the penalty with whioh it has been visit- j $cL.-.- ~ The consequences of this proceeding are likely j i to be of the utmost importance. The London Thn^s takes the ground that the outbreak abro ! gates the existing treaty, aud leaves England free : to shape her future relations with the Chinese Em- j k pireas she pleases. It will be her own fuult, thore- 1 I fore,.it id added, if she fails this time to obtain W Such a treaty as shall be entirely satisfactory.? | , The principal danger which the Times foresees is, j 4lvA.fr frltA-wvwwwkuc.rvf inflitfvttnrr nnniuhmnnt linnn hi?^uiui?|.iwvwt,. ..... o r r | China, the Empire may be wholly subverted. The j reigning dynasty is already tottering to its fall, j, and the .rebels are hovering upon the Southern border, eagerly watchiug the progress of the Eng- j lish war. - In any future treaty, it is urged, Great ; Britain should be content with nothing less than , the-admission of a resident Minister at Pekin, | dwelling there in all honor nnd safety, and having access at suitable times to the presence of the Emperor., We tbink it not at all unlikely that the present ( opportunity will be seized to secure these advantages and *to force^the Chinese Empire into the fw&Hy of nations. Sooner or later this issne must oome. The increase of commerce and of intercourse with China will render it impossible that 1 she should forever persist in her policy of abso- i lute isolation. We trust that the attention of our i own Government will be promptly directed to the ; subject, and that steps will be takcu to secure for the United States an equality in whatever right j and privileges may be accorded to other powers. i > Melancholy and Fatal Mistake. On Wednesday last, in Baltimore, Dr. A. B. Arnold was called to see a child or Jonn acKeri. He gave a prescription in which chlorate of potass . h was directed ; but the druggist, Mr. Ernest Leffer, i r put in cyanide of potass. The Patriot says: "The child made considerable resistance, and thp mother succeeded in. administering only half the dose, but so powerful was it, that in ten minutes the'child was dead. Dr. Arnold was immediately summoned, and so confident was he that the child's death was not caused by the medicine, ' and that he made no mistake in writing the pre- 1 scription, that h<? asked for the medicine and swal- ' lowed a teaspoonful, and was in the act of repeat- i ing the dose, when he felt the symptoms of the ' poison, which it contained, workiug upon him.? He instantly started for the apothecary's, Ernest i Leffer, corner of Eden and Lombard streets, and ' on reaching the store was barely able to tell them < to giro him a powerful emetic, and fell upon the floor. In a few minutes afterwards, Mr. Eckert ' entered with the. medicine, charging Leffer with < killing his child*" 1 _Mr. L." maintained that it could not be?the medioine was simple, and he had compounded the prescription accurately, to prove which he would i take some of it, and pouring out a teaspoonful, drank it' He then turned and entered an apartment la the rear, fell npon the floor, and in twen- . ty minutes was a corpse. The scene wh;ch followed beggars description. Husband, wife, and , mother, all frantic from the deplorable results of v a mistake.- In a very short space of time the 1 street in front of the house was filled with human beings, each eager to know what was the matter, fc? af one timn ilrtrincr An f? fill 1(1 hft SPfm t ? -uv. ?v ?.v e> J ? Jm crowds of persons standing in the vicinity of the ^ house,' drawn thither by the powerful excitement which pervaded that quarter. Drs. Yeates, Monmoniour, Kinuemon, and others were in attendance bat were anable to be of any service whatever to Mr. Leffer. The emetic which Dr. Arnold had taken caused him to vomit freety, and was probably the saving of his life, as he is considered out of danger. Cainniftctal department. Yorkville Cotton Karket. reported by r. c. m. alexander. February 4, 1857. For the past few days there has been but little Cotton on the market, which was readily taken. We quote prices ranging from 10 to 11J. An ex- I tra article will command 12 cents. 1 Columbia Market. ( February 2. ? Cotton.?Our previous weekly report of the cot^ ton market closed on a qyiet but steady demand ^ for the article, at the following quotations, viz : 1 10J to 12$ cents. In the early part of the week 1 now under review, and up to Thursday evening, f the market presented no new feature, aud cur for- 1 mer quotations were the general ruling rates. On | Friday moruiugtbe news from Liverpool, by the Arabia, came to hand, reporting a decline of J to c }d., with only & limited amount taken by the trade. These advices depressed our market, and in the course of the day prices receded fully a $ ou the current rates of the previous day. The sales of the week foot up 450, and we now quote: Inferior < 10i@10J ; ordinary 11@11 $; middling 11J@11|; I irnnH middling 114tthll4: fair 114f2024. and 1 a choice article might command 12} cents. Bacon.?The bacon market has been quiet but a steady since our last, and we therefore continue 0 to quote 8}?9 for shoulders; sides 10@10i; t hams 11@12; new 12@12? cents per pound. Corn.?The stock of corn on sale is light; and a as the demand is good, prices are very full, al- s though not quotably higher. We quote 85@90 r cents per bushel. Oats.?There is a fair stock of oats on sale, but j with a good demand, prices are very full and firm s at 65@68 cents per bushel. ( Flow.?The stock of flour is low, and as the demand (especially for fine family flour) is active, prices are looking up. We quote for common to good brands $7}@$7? ; superfine $7}@$8 ; and ^ extra family flour $8}@$8} ^ bbl. Fodder.?There was a fair supply of fodder on the market, and therefore there was no change in ^ prices. We still quote $l}@$lf 100 lbs. t k Inmencal. I : Married?On the 27th ultimo, by the Rev.

She was a member of the Baptist Church, and no one ever lived more con- ( sistently with Christian professions. As a moth- j er she was kind and affectionate, and the more than filial love her children, and children's chil[ dren cherished for her, proves that she was indeed " | a mother. She was exemplary in all the relations of life, and by her many rare and valuable quali- ( ties of both head and heart, had endeared herself < to a large circle of friends who will sorrow for her loss, though fhey will not "sorrow as those who have no hope."
