We publish at length the details of Sir Harry Smith's battle at Aleewal on the 28th of Janu- ary, with the official return of killed, wounded &c The more recent, and decisive engage ment at Hurreeke may have drawn atten tion partially from that which preceded it, though the public must still take an interest in the gallant action fought on the 28th of Janu- ary, which adds so much to the glory of our In- dian wale,

The public is probably in ignorance that there is a pound in Hongkong for the security of stray Cattle. How long we have been favor ed with this institution is unknown, as we do not recollect of its having been officially an- nounced neither have we at any time ob- served in the government paper advertisements of stray animals being impounded, as is usual elsewhere. Whether this proceeds from econ- omy-depriving the Organ of one of his pop- quisites or from a generous desire to leave with our highly respectable European police the milch goats and other animale they indus triously pick up, we know not. In either can it is unfair-unfair to our rhyming friend of the Mail. "as depriving him of that he is entitled to —and unfair towards the public, whoso cattle may be kidnapped by a set of harpies and sold, or given away surreptitiously.

Of the existence of the pound there can be no doubt, as we publish verbatim a written

intimation which was recently stuck up on the walls If the owner of the Poney has not yet recovered him, he will be obliged to us for the publicity we give to the curious document,

in the past three years have been raised on in every direction.

By an act of parliament, certain funds are appropriated in aid of Churches built in the Colo nies the localGovernments providing a suitable site. During Bir Henry Pottinger si mot ol fice, he pledged himself, as repr the Crown, to grant out of the public purse a certain sum in proportion to the contributions of the community also to appropriate a piece of land upon which to build the Chapel. Had Sir Henry remained in China, there is not a doubt that the Chapel would have been built long ago. But we fear that when he left, he not only carried with him the dignity and

energy of office, with the courage to take upon himself a responsibility for the public welfare, but also much of that feeling of outward respect for religion and public decency, which although we are told is but as dross, still it is dross with out which the purer metal cannot exist.

Years have passed away, and many who subscribed liberally, have either left, or will shortly leave China. They may naturally say, we offered our contributions, but the Go vernment have broken faith with us, therefore we do not now intend to give money to build a Church for those who come after us.

The vessel may be inspected; and Inventory of Colonial experience to approve of his conduct ber Stores can be seen at the Auctioneer's while at the head of the Colonial office, but we are bound to confess that his Lordship's in- we ar tentions were good. He erred, most commonly, through mistaken notions of colonial interests and colonial requirements, and he was con- firmed in his errors by the blind subserviency of the Colonial Governors with whom he was in correspondence,

It is to be hoped that some effort will be ma- de to carry out the original intentions of the Subscribers to the find for building a Colonial Chapel; and it is to be regretted that a building committee was not formed when the subscrip- tion were made, bot at that time it could not be forseen that the Government would break faith with the inhabitants. We believe that the Lord Bishop of London has soine control over funds set apart for Colonial Chapels, and we would suggest, whether it would not be advisable to enter into direct com:nunication with his Lord- ship upon this subject,

We have received the following particulars of an in fortunate fracas between a portion of the crew of HMS

Dadalus" and the Chinese at Foo-choo-foo

One of the boats with a crew of saleen men, a Lieutes nant, and Master's Mate, was sent in charge of treasure to

Consulate at Foo chow foo On landing, the Lentenant proceeded with the treasure, leaving the men quartered in one house, and the Mate in another at some distance It seems that the men thus left to themselves offered to make some purchases from the Chinese, but not being sa tisfied with the prices demanded, seized several articles by force, broke some jars of sharpshoo, and made prize of six. We have not learnt that they were quite sober when the Two commenced, but it is certain that the effects of the samsboo speedily converted it into a serious riot, and mob having mustered, overpowered and seriously mauled the seaman. The local magistrats at length came to the spot to quell the disturbance, and through his intervention the men escaped and were enabled to gain their boat

We often hear the question asked, what is the cause of the delay in building the Colonia! Chapel? And we, m common with the other inhabitants, are at times made to blush by the just animadversions of Strangers upon the edi- fice at present appropriated for Divine service. We are none of those who believe that the Deity may be worshipped with greater sincerity within the walls of a Cathedral than on a hill side; but in a Christian community, where no religious intolerance compols the members of any particular soct to secrecy, we certainly think that any unnecessary delay in erecting a suit- able edifice betrays an indifference to obligations which are even respected by those who make no professions of piety, and is in the highest degree discreditable to the Government which exhibits it. In Hongkong, our Roman Catholic brethren have for years had a decent and suit able place of worship. Unostentatiously they labour among us, without either appealing to our liberality for and, or asking for our applause, We see the fane which they built-regulerly
