POSSIBLE WAR WITH CHINA.
We wonder if Great Britain Is to have a war with China. The Foo Chow Herald of the 9th June contains tho following important news : — "Private advices from the North give a very unfavorable view of the Yunnan difficulty. Sir Thomas Wade, it is said, left Peking in utter disgust. The Chinese Government professed surprise, and sent messengers after him to beg his return to the capital, but his Exellency refused to comply. Li Hung-Chang was then requested by the Peking authorities to enter into negotiations with the British Minister, but failed to bring about any understanding. Sir Thomas Wade is now at Shanghai, and Mr. Grosvenor has also arrived at that port. Troops are said to be under orders from India, and matters look serious, but it is certain that England is in the right this time, and that she has justice on her side."
