Pierce, arrived yesterday from Vera Cruz, having sailed thence on the 24th ult., We have the Free American to the 22d, three days la ter than had previously been received. According to this paper, the train which left era Cruz for Orizaba under the command of Lt. Col. Biscoe, was at tacked by a band of guerrillas, 400 in :umber, Col. Biscoe's command scarcely exceeding eighty.- An express was sent back to Gen. Tiviggs to acquaint him with the facts. This courier was. wounded in the leg, but reached Vera Cruz, and re. ported that a fight was going on which he left, but that the Mexicans had'gained no advantage. Gen. Twiggs at once des.* patched three companies of cavalry to the Supp.rt of Col Biscoe. 'Vhe following paragraph is from thp Free American of the 22d ult. We learn from Capt.

IMPORTANT PROM CHINA.-SHCKING MUDERs.-The ship Panama, at New York, in 86 days from Canton, brings ad. vices to the 14th December. The intelli gence is of a very deplorable character. There are bloody indications of another war between England and China. The Chinese had butchered, in the mst sh.ovking aii (ruel manner, six Englishmen, who had gone a short dis tance into their interior. Sir John Davis, the Governor of Hong Kong, had arrived at Canton, and deman ded from the Chinese Government the fullest redress for the outragI committed; but no satisfaction having been receiyed, a consultation of the officers was held, and they had partly concluded to blookade Canton. The force, however, was not sufficient. The murders were committed on the 5th of December, on the opposite side. of the river.--When captured two were murdered on the spot, and'%ur put to death shortly after. Two British steamers were ordered to proceed as far up the river as practicable, in order that they may be in readiness to blockade as soon as determined upon. Balt. Clipper. Ma.

The A merican girl at eighteen is one of the most beautiful of living beings, but at thirty she is passe. At forty the English woman is in her prime. Whence comes the diffrence-from their respective bab its of living. The A merican woman lives in hot jhouses aupd takes very little exer cise abroad, and when she doce, she is ill protected agairst the weather. T4he En. glisly woman rides, wvalkS, praptioes arch ory and other exercises in the open air, and is always properly clad to meet, the exigencies of the 'welther. Hence her beauty is a perennial bloom. One is a hot house plant that withers qn exposure, the other a hardy tree that flourishes in every phase of weather.
