The qhip France, Capt. Pierce, arrived
yesterday from Vera Cruz, having sailed
thence on the 24th ult., We have the
Free American to the 22d, three days la

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

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.

AMERICAN 4ND -ENGLISH WOMEN.
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.

JUDq WITHEIWl
The Columbia Telegrap of the :5th
contains an account of the proceedings of
the Bar of that 'towi- in'honr i f udge
SWaNEs. q teeting.was preylotty
held, of which Mr. W. F. DS4urijuu
was Chairman, and resolutions offered by
Mr. JAs. D. _TRADEWELL were unani
mously adopted. On the last day of the
term, Mr. DeSaussure ro-se in. Court and:
addressed the Judge on the subject of the
resolutions, expressing the high apprecia
tion of the Bar In regard. to his-judicial
conduct. and their firm conviction that his
elevation to the bench would reallie the
truest hopes of his friends and those who
desired it. Ije alluded to the considera.
tion that the poweor.of the State finally
resides in the judiciary department as the
expositors of the laws, and in. whose con
trol were the life, lib'ery and property of
the governed, in their ppplication of them
to individuals. Hence the angiety qf~ the.
pblio on the accession of a qew .Judge
to the Bench tp) kn'ow that "fall is well"1
He spokte of the courtesy which had thus
far, marised .the judicial administratlog of
hi Honor and finally oonpljded; byare
requesting the entry of the resolutionp
the journals of the court.
The resolutions were highly 'compl.
snentary tq the Judge, wvho, when Mr.
DeSaussure resumed his seat, adyressel
the Bar lt6 reply, He aynWed the grati.
fication he derived from their favorable
judgmnent, declared himself conscious
that he wyas 4flworthy of ihe strqng ap
probatioj) conveyed in their. .language,
and spoke of his warm personal 'friergd
ship for each and every mnember .of the'
bar wvith wvhomu he had had the pleastir~of
an inrnacy.: He njientioned ;hst in that
town he had Qbtained the elements of his
edu.cation,.that he stoqd before his moasters
iii the law, and therefore placed a pecu.
liar yalue on the approbantionr of~ that bar,
that there he learned tq love morality and,
he'h~oped, in some degree to practise it,
that from members of Jhat bar he had
learned a never-fading-lesson, .to admire
the dignity, the propriety and the un
swerving integrity which should belong
to professional life. IM could not be ex
pected to receive unmoted such a tribite'
from* his preceptors and exemplars.- In
conclusion, he remarked that .their gen
erosity inspired hihn with good resolution~
requested them to excuse him for deolin.
