WILL NOT ADV.VM'fi TE CAUSE OF S&AY1EY. New York:, May 10. Advices from Gen. Grant to April, repre sent a very anxious feeling through out Asia respecting restrictions of Chinese emigration to America. Grant's response to the address of Chinese merchants at Penang, in which they ask his "powerful in fluence in their hehalf to advocate the removal of those restrictions, and thus restore the intercourse between the two nations to its former footing," wrs a very de emed remonstrance against me contract system, which he declared to be slavery. On that point he said: "Americans will naturally feel strongly. Jt was in order to free one race from slavery that we fousht a lonjr war. After the ter tible sacrifices made during that war to free the negro, it could not be expected that. Americans would consent to the revival in another form of slavery, in which the Chi naman was the victim." He said that this w;is the objection on the part of the Americans to Chinese immigration. In other respects thev had none but the kindest feel ings toward the Chinese people, I And who would extend to them, if the' chose to make their home with us, the welcome they extended to the rest of the world. In his address he does not once allude to the prejudice against cheap labor nor to the peculiar sentiments of California. lie doubted, and no one could but doubt, that in the end, no matter what agitation might for a time effect at home, the American people would treat the Chinese with kindness and justice, and not deny to the free and deserving people of that coun try the asylum they offer to the jest of the world. Distress in Cashmere. Incompetency, Corruption, Want of Orsnization, etc., Added to famine and Iisires. The Head of a Governor Threatened by a Mutinous Mob. Simla, May 19. News from Cashmere is very bad. The in crease of distress and famine join ed to incompetency, corruption and want of organization on the part of the officials, is producing a most serious state of affairs. Cholora in Peshawur is threaten ing to raise an obstacle to the prompt withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan. The disease has ap peared in most of the cities of Punnjaulb and Dacoity, and rob bery by an armed gang is assum ing alarming proportions in the Deccan, and especially in the Poonah district For some time past bands of Dacoits have been fccounrinic the country and com mittnio dannff attacks on houses and villages. They seem to form a part of the regular organization under the command of one Wassa uo Bulland, lately a clerk in the financial department. They are suspected of having set the fire which destroyed the government. Kchool. Bodaar palace, law courts, postoffices, police office, and fifty houses in Boodah on the night of the loth inst. In their remarkable manifesto to the Bombay govern ment, the' threaten another mutiny, and to cut off the head of the governor unless distress is re lieved. They inform the govern ment that unless an extension of public works is at once opened, employment provided for the .n.eorjle, native traders encourager1, taxes reduced .and. salaries of high- IvpaM Europeans cut down, they win not cease 10 pitmaer; anu avui extend to the Europeans what they have hitherto confined to the na tives.

Garces, former president of that state, and all party leaders who were associated with him in tiie late revolution are prisoners of war. On the ISlh the ironclad Tri umph and her consort the Opal, sailed for San Francisco from Vic toria. They will remain at San Francisco about two weeks, and will then proceed to the seat of war in South America. A dispatch from St. Petersburg on the 19th tells of another town in flames in the east,-Petropaulaus-ki, in Siberia. This is about the 15th place destro3red by fire in that portion of the world within a month. The planets are getting in their work, it seems. General Pejifo has announced his intention of executing Gen eral Marulanda aud several officers captured at the battle of Aguadas. on the ground that they prolonged the revolution against the gov ernment after they had lost all hope of success, lie lays down the doctrine that blood uselessly shed mnst be avenged. Several Mexican officers captured recently in the ranks of the revolutionary party in Honduras will be tried by court-marshal and shot. HOTELS AND RESTAURANTS. A. J. 3IKGI.RII. G. S. WIUGUT.
