Patnino In China, Foom the London Times of June 1st. Tho famine which our Shaughal corre-. pondent' letter descrites this morning is disaster of woeful magnitude. It extend ovr a very wide regi n of the Empire Itis I tlJ P!tf?? ft0 suul3,antl tlitre is no near hope? that Us rar. 1 - v4 UIU 4n,i dried leuvw tliat serve generally for fuel aru not now riCgiecte.l as nauseous or unsat- The govermeat is making the semblance of an t ilbit to retivc the widespread mis mis-cry; - cry; mis-cry; but the means it employs are wholly inadequate. An expression of verbal sym sympathy, - pathy, sympathy, a grant of money which allows about u farthing a day for the relief of each case of distress, and some well-meant but mis mistaken - taken mistaken edicts, which have had the effect simply of making matters worse than before, are thc measure of assistance which tho Chinese rulers can bestow. The fainino proceeds in spite of them, and matters are rendered worse by the iutensc cold which prevailed at thc date of our corrcapon corrcapon-deut'js - deut'js corrcapon-deut'js letter, and by thc snow, which lay so deep as to prevent the eop!c Irom picking up any of thc wild produce of the soil. As summor advances and as thc M'ceds begin to grow and the trees to be covered with foli foliage, - age, foliage, there may be a change expected for the better. Meanwhile there is no remedy to bo found, except in the readiness of the people to do anything and submit to any anything - thing anything that will furnish them with the bare means of preserving life, and in the willing but insufficient relu-f fund, which is sub subscribed - scribed subscribed among thc foreigners resident in. China and distributed by the Protestant missionaries in the North." The cause of the famine is the same as that from which Iudia is now suffering. The crops of last summer M ere, m-c are told, almost entirely destroyed by drouth, and the peasantry have now come to an end of their slender reserves of grain and have nothing left on which they can fall back for sup support. - port. support. China is a country which at thc best of times thc population presses very closely upon thc means of existence. There arc no waste stores anywhere. Everything is al already - ready already turned to account, and when the ne necessity - cessity necessity comes there is little room for any further saving or reduction. Land and M'ater arc alike taxed to the uttermost to furnish food and dwelling space for the teeming multitudes which cover them. The Chinese are hard M'orkers, content with slender fare, and able to put up comfortably M'ith a general scale of living which would be sim simply - ply simply intolerable to Englishmen. These quali qualities - ties qualities and habits, which turn to their advan advantage - tage advantage abroad when they are brought into competition with other races, are a source of danger to them at home. "West it Paul homos, formerly stock raisers at thc Chimchuchuo Flat, on the Colo Colorado - rado Colorado river, have moved their stock, 1,200 iu number, on to the Santa Maria, about 20 miles below or west of thc settlements iu Thompson Yallcy aud about 50 miles west of Prescott. We are informed by Mr. West that he has found and located a most desi desirable - rable desirable stock ran.'h, and is surprised ' at himself to think that he did not move in this matter long since.

With a stirt of over one thou , ., t sand head of cattle and with such a a Mr. West has seeu,td fur himself aud partner, it will not be long before they can com.t their herd, as it rouius back and forth over the grassy hills aud plains, by the thousands. This is another acquisition to our county; one that we should all be glad to see come in.

The amount of water passing over the Niagara falls has been estimated at 100,000,000 tons per hour, and its perpendicular descent mav pe taken at loO Tcet. without considering the rapids, which represent a further fail of 150 feet. The force represented by the principal fall alone amounts to 10,800,000 horse power, an amounts which, if it hail to be produced by steam, would nece?tntato the expenditure of not less than 200,000,000 tons of coal per annum, taking thc consumption of coal at four pounds per horse-power per hour. In other words, all the coal raised throughout the world would barely sutlice to produce the amount of power that annually runs to waste at this wonderful fall.
