MKersai scwt ie. j caiB.tak,i has recently beea so ttttfortaeite as to profoke the astrer of Great Britain, and to place ths ij United" SUUs in as antagonistlcal position to ward her. Already hare several forts belong' iog to the Celestial Empire been destroyed by the English a ad American fleets, and a large port ten of what is known as the suburbs of Castas, a' thickly settled part of that famous city, beea cetsvgaed to the names by exaspera ted Englishmen. With a seeming stoical in difference t their fate, the rulers of this popu lous Empire look with indifference to the fu ttsre, and await the decrees of fate with ahew'of fear or trepidation. It has been eta ted that an apology has been made to the Uui ted States Commissioner for the insult offered ts the American flag, but such statement has ot come in an authentic shape, and the last news from the harbor of Canton was that th American-fleet would be soon increased. To ward Great Britain, they display no desire to cerae to a reconciliation, and haughtily return answer to the demand for concessions from them fer the injury which British subjects and British shipping have received at their hand that they have none to make. What wHI be the termination of all this is a mystery which the future will have to deter Jvie,.bt the threatening clouds which han over the Celestiai.Empire portend no good to the Tartar dynasty, which, weakened by civil wars, is already on the wane. The feMewing interesting article in relation te this littie known Empire we extract from a recent Mtnber of the Penmylrauian. It will be real with interest. China is the bos; populous and ancient cm nire in the known world it is 1890 miles Ion; and 1390 wide, its population is over 500,000, 003. The capital of this vast empire is Pekio, which contains at least one million inhabitants. The chief product of the country is tea, of which over 50,000,000 pounds are annually ex ported from Canton, the principal port of ship pin;, and the only place foreigners are allowed te visit. Ail the necessaries of life, are found in absndance throughout the country. The arts and manufactures are a high state of per feetteo, nnt stationary as anytning UKe im prevemest is totally prohibited. Ine foreign commerce of. lama amounts to abeat $10,000,000 annually, the whole of which is transacted witn appointed agents, cahed Hong merchants. The revenue of the whole empire is estimated at $200,000,000, and the revenue derived from foreign commerce by the Eanornr, varies from 4,000,000 to $6,000,000. SsHKrgMftjr is carried on to a considerable ex tent, and for several years past the English hare snuggled annually, at least $50,000,000 worth of opium, much of which was paid for in specie. Philanthropists of the whole civi lized world, hare long, without avail, tried to jMt an end to this trade, on account of the great injury it does to the physical condition of all who use it. The dying scene of a confirmed eswm chewer is a horrible picture. The religion of the Chinese is something pimilar to Bhndism, their chief god being Foil. This nation endeavors to inculcute the morality of Confucius, their great philosopher, who was born 550 B. C. Th great wall asd canal of China, are amocg the mighest works ever achieved by man. The Chinese language has nearly 40,000 letters or characters. The chief trade of this country is with England. About thirty United States vessels annually visit Canton. The first American vessel that ever visited that port, was in 1714. The Chinese, like their neighbors, the Japa nese are an exclusive set. They wish to hare very little to do with any nation outside of their own. Foreigners are allowed to live at certain factories or stations, below Canton, and if they dare trespass beyond the prescribed limits, in sult, death, and destruction, will almost as suredly follow the bold adventurer. g"" The following editorial from the En- fairtr of yesterday, is reproduced in our col m'3, not only for the purpose of indica tiwg the estimate which wt place upon its real valve, frut to show to what desperation the opposition to Mr. Bdcuaxan's Cabinet are driven. Such an unusual 'mode of warfare is certainly mere injurious to the assailant than the assailed; and. we doubt not this it the candid jadgnent already passed upon it by the most ardent and partial friends of the En quirtr itself BICH KEN IK P0WE2.

Cass at $2,009,000, and Mr. Thompson at 51,000,000; Imt we are convinced irom what we have heard from reliable sources that that paper under estimates the wealth of both of them. Gen. Cass was worth two millions when he ran for President nine years afro, and his Dronertv in Michigan (mostly at Detroit) is said to have increased a million or more in value since then. Messrs. Toucy, Black and Brown are put down by the Herald at $300,000; but as all three are very rich men, it is believed that they are worth a million or more in the aggre gate. Certaifily, most of these Cabinet officers have glerioasly feathered their neBts from the public crib.

The water in the canal is eighteen feet deep All not immediately killed were drowned The engine and tender with the engineer and firemen, were- pitched headlong into the ca nal, and are burled twenty feet below the sur face. Ihe baggage car and two passenger cars are a complete wreck. One of the latter was turned bottom side upwards, and is about two-thirds submerged. Parties are still bitty this morning extrica ting bodies from the wreck. In and out of the houve adjoining the Station House at Hamilton about fifty or sixty corpses of men, women and children were laid. No Inquest had yet been held. Most of the passengers were from Hamilton Toronto and the adjoining towns. Samuel Zimmerman, Mr. Buchanan, Vice President of the road, and Captain Towhey, a popular commander on Lake Ontario, are among the victims. Only one lady passenger wag-saved, and she is considerably cut and bruised. A German lad in the bind car. seeing the conductor hastily retreating to the back door, followed, and with the conductor and two oth ers, were the only ones who escaped with inning injuries.

T e Chicago Tribune adds: The Desjardine Canal is about half a mile from Hamilton, and cuts its way through Bur lington Heights, over which Ihe Toronto- and Hamilton Railroad passes. The bridge is some four hundred feet in length with an elevation of fully one hundred and fifty feet It is here the accident occurred, the train plunging from the track Into the fearful abyss. It would be almost miraculous if a single person escaped of those who went down with the cus, for even if some were saved from instant destruc Hon by the terrific fall, (which is next to im possible,) the chancej or a watery death would only be too probable, Amongst those who are reported as lost, we find tne name of Samuel Zimmerman, one of me great Railroad Kings." Mr. Zimmerman was born in Pennsylvania and commenced life in an humble capacity, but has worked his way up to a position which but few attain. He was me original contractor of the Great West ern road, and built the Railroad Suspension Bridtre at Niapara.

Captain Hunker, recently in commtnd of one of the "lake boats" in Nicaragua, came on by the Ttnnttia. He went out to Nicaragua Iniifor the protection of the overland emigrants May, 1855. and served on the river and lake boats In the capacity of deck band, mate and captain. He confesses himself much In Ipve with Nicaragua audits mode of life, and would eageny leave In the next steamer, couiane pro cure suitable employment from'a responsible source. Captain Bunker took command of the La Virrtn. one of the two lake steamers, in July last, and had charge of her t.p to the 27th of. December, when she was captured by the Costa Ricans under Spencer Captain Bunker relates that he arrived at the Toro Rapids with his steamer, the Firrin, on his last trip down the San Juan, about the mid dle of- December, and found there the small river boat Hogdtn, which took off his passen gers and freight and conveyed them to Castillo, returning the next day with arms aud amuni tlon for General Walker.

The Hogdtn steamed up as 'soon as possible, and put down the river in pursuance of this intelligence. About 12o'clockof the same day she was observed returning by those j with a high ceiling, upon which the cable may of the n'rgin, who, however, detected nothing be stowed through the entire length of the ship, suspicious eitner in her-movementa or appear- j and from whence it can be run through the ance, until she approached nearer, when Capt. j hatchway, by the aid of suitable steam appa Bunker state's that he saw Sylvanus M.

Bunker was now addressed by Spencer halves carried by them respectively, and steam and informed that the six river boats below away at a moderate speed, in' opposite direc were in the hands of the Costa Ricans. and lions, for the shore. that, of coprse, he would see the necessity of yielding up nia steamer witnout resistance. Capt. Bunker having only a mate and ten or twelve deck hands with him m, was obliged to. pitched into the submit The enemy at one detniiohnn anil boxen of claret, as well as what provisions were on board, to the great damage and loss of the Commissariat of the "Libera- ting Army." The arms and ammunition were subsequently placed in the hold of the Virgin, in sucn a manner as to be easily exploded, ir in danger of rescue. On ttie same day of the capture, Spencer re turned dawn the river in the Hogdtn, with ten or twelve men, for the purpose of bringing up Gen Mora, of the Costa Rican forces, but came back on the 2thh without him. Captain Bunker was then ordered to get steam up on the Hrgin, and head for Foit San Carlos, at the mouth of the San Juan, with Spencer and bis men on board. On approaching wi.hin a short distance of San Carlos, sixty men were landed in boats, with instructions to ga n a po sition as near the works as possible, to be ready to act in case the ruse adopted for the Captain of the garrison should fail. The Firgtn then proccded'to a point oppo site the fort, and blew her whistle, which was answered by a corresponding signal from the garrison, and soon Capt. Cruger came off in a boat with three or four men, to get his papers, letters, &c. Of course he was detained after coming on board, and, a he had but fifteen effective men on shore, thought it prudent to surrender the fo'rt All of Spencer's force was now put on shore, with the exception of a dozen menand he returned with them down the river on the rirgin, and aftewards returned with Gen. Mora and about 400 men. making the garrison to number not far from 600. On the 3d of January, the lake steamer San Carlos, arrived at Fort San Carlos, from Vir gin Bay, with the transit passengers, and was immediately taken possession of by a ruse sim ilar to that practiced in the case of the Virgin. The passengers were subsequently sent to Greytown without unnecessary delay or incon venience. The two lake steamers are under stood to have been employed, since their cap ture, in plying between Virgin Bay and the Toro Rapids, conveying men, ammunition, and provisions to the allied forces, which, at the date of our last advices, were in the vicinity of Rivas. Capt Bunker informs us thathehad frequent opportunities of seeing and conversing with Syivanus M. Spencer. This individual, it ap pears, was for a time in the employ of Mr. Scot'', agent of Morgan Sons, and was finally discharged, much to bis dissatisfaction. He men came to Xvew York in the fall of lsab, ana canea on yommoaore vanaerout, 10 wnom I 11 1 e- 1 ir. -liaa a he portrayed, in brilliant colors, the golden brilliant colors, the golden St dmcrJul ts.

Captain Bunker states that he read the let- ter of. Commodore Vanderbilt, authorizintr Sseucer to represent him in co-operating with me losta means, and mat a uoerai remunera tion was stipulated therein.

The young lady is 22 years old, aud Dean's affidavit alleges that she is shut up in her father's house against her will, and that he was married to her on the 4th instant, by Rev. Mr. Hatfield. It appears that Mr. Boker has a place atTarrytown,and Dean is his coachman. During-the absence of Mr. B. in this city attendingjtohis business, Dean was in the habit of taking the daughter out ri ding is her father's carriage, and through this kind of intercourse, according to Dean's story, became enamored of each other, which fact coming te the ears of Mr. B., he dismissed the coachman from his service.
