DOMESTIC NEWS. 



narrate with minuteness tbe recent events in 

 China. Flag officer Tatnall says that the British 

 officer in charge of the gun boats, having visited 

 him, said nothing about aid, hut his silent appeal 

 was powerful indeed, during Ihe few moments he 

 was on board the Powbattan, He looked anxious- 

 ly at bis Admiral and his boats. Aftarhe left, con- 

 tinues Copt. Tatnall, I held a conversation with 

 our Commissioner, Mr. Ward, and he agreed with 



position with tbe English, ond the aid the Admiral 

 had tendered me the day before, I could do no less 

 tfaan tow tbe boats to his relief. I made the offer, 

 which was thankfully received and promptly ac- 

 cepted. Capt. T. towed the boots through the Brit- 

 ish line to within a short distance of tbe Admiral, 

 whose flag was Hying, when, casting off, he return- 

 ed to tbe rear of the line, and anchored for tbe 

 night. He took up this position as it might enable 

 him to viBit the wounded, and should any boat be 

 Bunk, to rescue the crew, in other words, to afford 

 all tbe aid consistent with the neutrality. Having 

 been informed by a British ollicerlbat tbe Admiral 

 was dangerously wounded, Capt. T. went in a 

 barge to visit bun. When witbin a few feet of the 

 Cormorant, a round shot struck the coxswain, Mr, 

 Hart , of Brooklyn, and slightly wounded flag Lieut. 

 Trenchard. They reached the Cormorant before 

 the boat entirely sunk. Capt. T. says tbe Chinese 

 Commissioners had previously notified Mr. Ward 

 of tbeir agreements, and requested him to accom- 

 pany tbe British and French Ministers to the Petho. 

 President Buchanan entirely approves of tbe ac- 

 tion of tbe Commodore in rendering the assistance 

 he did to the British Admiral. 



Colonel Rankin, Register of the Land Office in 

 Olympia, Washington Territory, bus arrived from 

 the Island of San Juan. He reports that if the 

 intentions of Gov. Douglas had been carried out, 

 there would have been a collision between the 

 British and American forces, as the Satellite and 

 Plumber had been ordered by him to fire; bu 1 

 Admiral Bayoe opportunely arrived and superced 

 1 of the English sbips-of 







The • 



riginal misunderstanding was with the 

 Hudson Bay Co., tbe interests of which were rep- 

 resented by Douglas. The Island of San Juan bad 

 been in the occupancy of tbe Americana for at least 

 eighteen months. Nobody seems to question their 

 rights, and it has been for a long period consider- 

 ed and treated as belonging to Washington Terri- 

 tory, It was not until (Jen. Harney applied to and 

 was informed by Boundary Commissioner Camp- 

 bell, that our title to the Island was clear and 

 certain, that he dispatched troops thither at the 

 earnest request of the residents who claimed pro- 

 tection from British aggression, and especially 

 from the predatory insurrections of the Northern 

 Indians, who had even taken and beld possession 

 of a light house for three days, and against whom 

 private expeditions li.nl repeatedly been sent to 

 chastise them. Col. Rankin says the people of 

 Washington and the Pacific Btatea tire unanimous 

 for our retention of the Island, and such is their 

 enthusiasm, that if the United States troopB should 

 he directed to vacate, private parties in formidable 

 numbers would immediately occupy that important 

 position, and not surrender it without a severe 

 ■trnggle. 



Amonian dates of tbe 15th are received. The

The Kankakee (III.) Gazette says that on Friday 

 week, a freight car on the Illinois Central railroad 

 ight miles noilh of tbut ci'y, and

and subjected to a bath, which soon extin- 

 guished the flumes. A considerable portion of tbe 

 car was burned through, and n portion of the 

 freight consumed. The car contained two kegs of 

 gunpowder marked "codfish." The box contain- 

 ing tbe kegs was charred through, and on being 

 taken out fell to pieces. 



A little tool has been invented for threading a 

 needle. It is mude with two blades, which holds 

 tbe needle with its eye opposite a little funnel- 

 shaped opening! into which it is perfectly easy for 

 a person of weak sight to pass the thread, and the 

 thicad inevitably passes through the eye. 



Capt. Simpson, of the Topographical Engineers, 

 has discovered a route between Corson Valley and 

 the valley of Great Salt Luke shorter than the 

 route which he had been sent out to explore. Tbe 

 route is quite straight, and 13 equally good, if not 

 a superior road, in almost every respect, to both 

 the immigration line and the old line just explored 

 by himself. Tbe fads of tbe Surveying Expe- 

 dition have been reported lo Gem Johnson, and it 

 is probable that heieafter tbe bulk of the travel 

 between California and Salt Lake will go by the 

 last discovered route. 



An engineer was walking on tbe levee at St. 

 Louis one day last week, when a Dimble thief 

 snatched his watch, and ran off at a speed that bid 

 fair to defy pursuit. It so happened, however, that 

 the party robbed had wuh him a large Newfound- 

 land dog, and instead of running himself, he spoke 

 a few words to bis four-footed companion. Off 

 started the noble animal, and before tbe thief bad 

 gone many blocks be was dragged to tbe earth 

 and secured by bis singular captor. The fellow 

 tho't fit lo submit to the warrant displayed — two 

 full rows of formidable teeth— and made no resist- 

 ance to the majesty of the law.

Owing to the difficulty and expense of transport- 

 ing English Troops, it is supposed tbat the British 

 Government will employ its Sepoys and other East

 If so, the war between two half-civilized races will 

 be marked by scenes of peculiar barbarity.

 nal of Commerce, that a lot of 500 barrels of 

 flour, to be sent to Liverpool, was tbe first ship- 

 ment of breadstufls from New York for many 

 weeks. This is a gross error. The Custom House 

 returns for the weekending the 1.5 lb. of September, 

 1850, report 2,8i7 barrels cleared from New York 

 to Liverpool. For tbe week ending the 8th of 

 September, 1,323 barrels flour were shipped from 

 New York to Liverpool, 501 barrels to London, and 

 3,201 barrels to Glasgow, For the week ending 

 September 1st, 1,750 barrels were shipped

It is calculated that tbe working cost of thi 

 Great Eastern, while under steam, will be £800

 tbe miscellaneous charges, £6,000. The Cunard 

 steamers are asserted to cost £1 per mile, and the 

 Great Eastern will average £2 per mile. The 

 Great Eastern will not be liable to dock dues or 

 pilotage at either Holyhead or Portland. Had 

 she started from Liverpool the dock dues would 

 have been about £1,500.
