China. Tlie Orel-land Muil hnd arrived in T.ondon. bringing correspondence and pap?'r.? ; I : ; Kong. to 80th January ; Calcutta 7th IVI : i: .r and Bombay 16ih February. The Ilong Kong correspondent of t!.i):vlnn Times, writing under date of Jan. 30th say : As we were writing our la?t advie.-s. < the 15th inBt., there wns n report that an attempt had been made to poison a large portion of tlw community, arsenic having been mixed with thi bread at one of the principal-, bakeries of tli. place. This proved lo bo tlie ease, an 1 s-vi-ral hundred people suffered from eatin - th? ' a-I. but we are happy to add we have heard of n?' fatal consequences, though many are still Pilfering from the effects. We believe i*. is aiiiveii nmong the medical men that the cotineqticii'-es were not fatal owiiifx to the large quantity ol arsenic used, which neted generallv as a violent Tl,? 1 J ?Jr.?i. I. ?

There was pome do lay on the parr, ol 1 (idvernment in sending after him, hut. a foreign gentleman, a sufferer from the atrocious attempt chaptered a steamer, and succeeded in capturing Allum before lie got oil shore at Macao. I !? was brought back here, atid his trial, and that of several of the men that were employed on the premises, comes on at the sessions sitting. The man, from the first, asserted his innocence, but it is a significant fact that the Chinese stewfird.-who was on board the small river steamer 'Thistle, when she was captured, and the foreign ers murdered, and whose evidence was most.conflicting nt the inquest, was the person employed to'see to the delivering of the brea-l that morning. After this act. of the Chinese, there was a strong feeling in favor of martial law heinires tublishcd ; a:nl tin* advisability ofsuch a wiirfn was recommended toSir-Iohn iiowrini; by those on whom we have t<> depend for the security of the place, nn<l who have not an over strong forec'at their disposal. His Excellency wns disinclined to have any interference with his authority. The Chinese Tscw Year's day, the 2C.th inst., passed over quickly here, biit apprehensions t are entertained that some mischief is intended against the place. Commissioner Ych has addressed Dr. T'arker, the United States Minister, asking him why lie lias not ordered American subject and American ships of war away from limit; Kong, to he clear of the present troubles. We have not heard of I)r. Parker's reply. There was u report from Shanghai that an Imperial Comninnoner from I'ekin was expected ? to come down here shortly, to arrange mutters at Canton. This is premature. A Tartar CSeii ral, with about 41) attendants, came down fium Shanghai, in tlie Aiticri'-aii steamer Antelope, and wenton at. once to Canton via Macao, passing through this place unawares to the authorities. At Canton, Admiral Sir Michael Seymour, owing to mc (lemniut.s made upon him I'm* the security of this place, lins been I" withdraw the forces from the Garden, ihe Dutch I'oil j-, and Bird's Nest. Fort, and opposite the foreign ground. He has taken up a position in the Teetotum Fort in the Macao passage. It. is to be hoped he will be able to maintain this post and keep open the liver, which the Chinese arc making great efforts to block up. They have now a Very large fleet of war junks and boats congregated on the riv-.r, aud which are daily increasing.

On ^ the trial it was proved that ho had been r originally a slave in Missouri, that liia (dastor first took hiin to the military post at ;G Kock Island, fn Illinois, and subsequently --H to Fort Snelling, in Minnesota, at a point Vl north of tlie Missouri Compromise line, and ol that ho and his family subsequently return- ;B ed with him to Missouri. It was contend- -H)i ed in his behalf that inasmuch as bis own- 'I1 I Cf hftd vnlnritnrilv tol-w I-"- - -' ? ..j mill lO JJIHC'tSM ^ wlicretRlavery* did not exist by law, both he 0 rind his family became fieo, and remained L so after returning to a slaveholding State. cl The Circuit Court decided in his favor, j On appeal to the Supreme Court of the p -State, that tribunal held that be and his' family, on returning to the State, continued f? slaves. Betwoen the annunciation of the i opinidit of the Court and the filing of its ? mandate in thtf Circuit Court, Scott vol uniaruy uismisseu ois sua in the State r< k CourJ, thiisevading the decision against i him ; and thereupon instituted another in the Circuit Court of the United States. Id, this Court the question of jurisdiction depended upon his being a citizen of itfittouri, | ^nd.the defendant a citizen of another, i , State.

Wc arc gratified to perceive that outedirial animadversions on the conduct of the ew York underwriters to Mrs. I'atton, have >t been in vain. In the Ti.nes of the 25th t., we adverted !o the fact, that thus lady's isband, the captain of a valuable ship, was ken sick at sea?that his wife, with the irit of a true heroine, seized the quadrant id steered the ship, (Neptune's Car) and irgo in safety to Kan Francisco?and, that though no less than eight rich Insurance mipauies in New York were interested, cy merely gave her the contemptible sum ^1,000, or Si25 each for this heroic liievcrnent and this too, after she had savI a vessel and cargo valued bv tin- Insurers three hundred thousand dollars ! ! \Ye e glad to perceive by the following which 3 find in the New York correspondence of e Charleston Courier, that something like stice lias been done this noble woman ioie heroism eclipses all the nehiuvementsthe most extravagant romance.

FOR ALL THE PURP0SE8 OF A FAMILY PHYSIC Tiikhk has long existed a public demand fitr .in effective purgative jiill which could be relied ?n as1 mire and perfectly safe in its operation. This has been prepared to meet that demand, and nn extensive trial of its virtues has conclusively shown with what success it accomplishes the purpose designed. It is easy to make a physical pill, but not easy to make the best of all pills ? one which should have none of the objections, but all the advantages, of every other. This has been attempted here, and with what success we would respectfully submit to the public decision. It has been unfortunate for the patient hitherto that almost every purgative medicine is acrimonious and irritating to the bcrtt-" els. This is lint. M nil V ftf tVi'-rti nriiitiiM .a griping pain and revulsion in the system as to more than counterbalance the good to be derived from tin-in. These fills produce 110 irrit^ition or pain*unless it arise from a previously existinp obstrue-tion or derangement in the bowels. lieing purely' vegetable, no harm can arise from their Use in any quantity ; hut it is better that any medicine should* hi taken judiciously. Minute directions for their-* use in the several diseases to which they are ap-/" plicablc arc given on the bo*. Among the com*" plaints which have been speedily cured by IllWf'W may mention I.iver Coinplai.it, in its various fortns" of Jaundice, Indigestion, Languor and I.oss of Ap-" petite, I.istlessness, Irritability, liilions Headache,Hilions Fever, Fever and Ague, Vain in the Side and Loins ; fur. in truth, all these are but the coic sequence of diseased action in the liver. As ni:> aperient they afford prompt #*.id sure relief in Cos?" tiveness, I'iles. (,'olii-. iHsi-ntery, Humors. Scrofula' and Scurvy, Colds with soreness of the body, Ulcers anil impurity of the blood, Irregularities; in short,any and every case where a purgative is required.

The thousand easts in which a physic i> required cannot in- enumerated here, but they suggest themselves to the reason of c\crv body ; and il is confidently believed this pill will answer a better purpose than any thing which has hitlierto hceu available to mankind. When their virtues are once known* the public will no Itinjior doubt what remedy to employ when in need of it cathartic medicine, l'eiug sugar-wrapped, they are Iileasant to take, and being purely vegetable, no arm can arise from their nsu m any (junutity.
