HONG KONG, Sem 27. The departure of the mid-monthly mail left thh with intelligence of the near approach of that fled dissolution which must inevitably remove the Tartan dynasty, and work a great change in the constitutims and prospects of this vast empire. Notwithstanding all the imperial edicts, regardless of the thralls sod promises alternately in the mouth of the reigning monarch and his viceroys, the civil war continues to make progress—the rebellion advances with a degree of rapidity that justifies the conjecture that many months cannot pass without witnessing the complete and final expulsion of the Mantchas fr the Throne of China. Insurgency has not merely become general throughout vait etopire—it has become a trade. Under the guise of aiding the common or popular cause, adventurers have rushed forward, and, in the name of patriotism, seized all available property within reach. What was began' by a small band of patriots promises to be consum mated by the powerful combination known as the Triad Mutilation, whose growing influence is unmis takeably apparent, and whose numbers are daily swelled by accessions from all clesseau the only means of safety. At the date of my last letter it wee known and currently stated that about 10,000 members of the trade society were in the city of Shanghai end that it was apprehended that they would male an attack oe, and ultimately effect the capture the city. This expected movement was noticed is my mid-monthly letter, and the present mail cla yey. to Europe confirmatory intelligence of the design. The city of Shanghai has fallen, and is now in the hands of the trade society. Sanaa, the chid authority, having escaped the slaughter, found refs. in the residence of the American consul, from whom residence he succeeded in effecting his escape : It b said that the Shanghai rebels are not acting is concert with those at Nankin, but it is mesa generally believed that they are in corresponds's', with the rebel camp, and that the capture of the city was undertaken at their direction. It is believed that several other cities have fallen, the Triads haring determined on a simultaneous movement elsewhere to strike terror into the heart of the Imperialists before venturing to attack Pekin. The only recent accounts from the metropolis of the empire are contained in the official notifications published in the Pekin Gazette, which afford evidence that the Emperor do es not consider himself secure, although surrounded by the choicest troops from the mountain ranges—hardy warriors, better acquainted with hill warfare than the manoeuvres of a campaign. £MOY, Sm. 19. Since the Ist instant the Mandarin and Rebel forces have been fighting, after their fashion, almost daily, but as yet without any decisive results; and unless the rebels, from want of stores, or owing to quarrel.s amongst themselves, have to give it up— not at all improbable—we do not think the Man darins will, as they fight at present, ever take the city. The Imperialists are now encamped to the east ward as well u to the north of the town, and number in all 10,000 men ; the rebels sent out to meet them are fully as numerous, and as well armed, but no close fighting ever takes place. AUSTRIAN JEALOUSY OF PauseLt.--The under stood peesielnass of the Prussian cabinet in an independent polities on the Erten question, and the failure of the meat attempt to iodate a union of Freesia with Austria, prejudicial to the efforts of the western powers, has esseed a chines of feeling between the two cabinets, which the Kona Zedeng thus notices:—" It is tiaras' that at the lament of the return of liaron de Prokesch-d'Osten to Frankfort, the Austrian Press should publish articles hostile to Prussia. The Augsbarg Gazette of the 3rd, sad the Post Assp Gazette of the 4th, contain articles declar ing that Prusaia is tending to fora a Bond/aloud, and is making anti-federal drifts.

Under this heading the Placer novas, a Califor nias newspaper, gives so account of as Indian WNW who has lived solitary cm one of • cluster of small islands, se veral leagues off Santa Barbara, in the Pacific, for 18 years. These islands once contained a lugs population. The 'pilaus who inhabited them gradually settled down i l among the Mission Indians, at Santa Ines, Santa Barbera, Los Angeles, San Gabriel, and Sas Diego. Oise of those islands called San Nicholas, situated about slaty miles from Santa Barbara, was inhabited by a tribe of Indians who could sever be induced from • desire of change, from the nape of greater comfort, or from a wish to embrace Christi anity, to leave it. About the year 1824 or 1825. this island was vi.ited by • Russian ship, and some dispute having arise■ between the sailors and the Indians, about the women, the Russians killed all the men map two, and carried of the women. About tan years afterwards, Mr. Williams (who now owns the branch call "Del Chine," in Los Angeles) prevailed upon the captain of a small schooner, to bring over all the Indians who remained. This was easily accomplished, as the Indians were desirous to remove. After they had all pt on board the schooner, one of the Indian women disoolored that her child was miming, and asked permission to go on shore to look for it. This was at once granted. She remained a long time in the search, and at length made her appearance crying most bitterly. She said that she could not find her child, and eapreseed her apprehension that it had been eaten by wild doge, which it seems infest the island. She remained on the beach lamenting the loss of her child; and, whether through fatigue or excess of grief, she laid down and fell asleep. la the mean time it commenced to blow a gale o wind, and the schooner put away, leaving her alone on this desert island. About three months afterwards It is said the schooner again touched at the island to bring her away, but she could not be found. Since that time her foot-prints have been occasionally nen on the shore, and other indications met with showing that she still existed. At the beginning of the present month, an American, by the name of George Niedever, who is sow, and has long been a resident of Santa Barbers, was engaged in otter bunting off the coast, and touched at San Nicholas. While travelling along the beach, to his great astonishment, he suddenly came upon this woman. She was engaged clean ing or curing bird skins, which she sowed together to serve as a covering,and is a garment made of which she was then dressed. She did not manifest much surprise at seeing Mr. Niedever, but readily assented to his proposition to leave the island and accompany him to his schooner. She imme diately set about making preparations for her departure, aad having packed op several bundles of bird skins end other " Stings" which she had found serviceable in San Nicholas, she bade adieu for ever to the land where, for so long a time, she might have exclaimed with trath—.. I am monarch of all I survey." She is now living with the family of Mr. Oscine .lied*. vet, in Santa Barbara, whore she has all her wants admi nistered to. She is about 60 years old, and Las simple as a child, and quite fres from deception and guile. Slit, is very contented, and takes great delight in showing to her visitors, es well as she can, how she dug the roots, caught the fish, manufactured her garments, sad provided gene rally for her sustenance. She takes great delight in looking at horses and cows, having probably never seen such large animals before. On one occasion she caught hold of a horse by the tail, and had it not been that Mrs. Niedever called her away. she might probably have suffered severely for her igno rance. Among the 'trades she brought along with her from the island, were several needles with which she sewed the bird,' skins together. These needles are beautifully made of fish bones, sad show a superior degree of ingenuity. The thread which she toed wu a thin fibre of the sinews of a whale. She had also several fishing kook. made of old nails that she probably found in some boards picked up es the shore. These nails were well best end sharpened, and attached to a lies made of fibres of whale sinews beau- Wally twisted together. She had also mese her move. alike a soft clayey subsumes like brick, but whether she used this fur dressing the birds' skins, or for simply giving • rod volute to her garments, no oae could well make out. Bbe had a knife also about as iamb lug, which menu to have bees a piece of an iron hoop. It is set in a wooden handle. she brought with her some seal meat, but how she could eat this seems incomprehensible. Ten or twenty yards is about as near as the olfactory nerves would permit any of the Americans to go to it. She had a quantity of roots, which are generally known here by the Indian name of ascender. In .taste they are like the kernel of an untipe set. . . .

(FitON OUR LOCAL 00111111PONDIXT) BURY, LANCASHIRE, FRIDAY. All the mills of the associated masters in this town except three, are closed egoista the operatives this day, and about 6,250 of thew people have to be added to the estimate which has already been given in the Daily New of the numbers on strike, or locked-out of the miW,in the various towns of Lancashire. The other three mills will close neat Wednesday,adding about 1,200 more to the list. The opera tives of Bury formed their union, and gave none* of a strike, if 10 per cent. advance was not conceded several months since, and the masters then responded by the fol lowing notice :—" Notice is hereby given that an associa tion of the millowners in the township of Bury has been termed for the purpose of taking into consideration the demands made upon them in respect of wages, and to sup port each other against all such as they consider unreason able, in any manner they may consider most effective." Notwithstanding this notice the employers in many in stances gave an advance of 10 per cent., but they now say that they afterwards found it impossible to conduct their heelless succeufully in the fate of the dictatorial spirit as sumed by the weavers. One mill tried the 10 per alit. sa laam) fee live weeks, but found that they could not afford it aggrieving, end quietly stopped all their looms about a math ago, sending the weavers away, bat retaining the Splinters. The weavers were told that the advance given sonld not be afforded, but refused to make any concession. Daring the time they were on the higher wages they con ducted themselves overbearingly, openly parading the sub cription list for operatives on strike before the employer in the mdl, and occupying time which should have been devoted to work in collecting money. One of these gentlemen said he did not object to their sub scriptions—they might spend their own nesey as they liked, but be could not consent that they should spend hie time is such a way. In the same mill the overseer found a weaver rot properly doing his work, and at once discharged Mm. The operatives, however, claimed to be con • salted in this matter, and at once threw up their looms on hearing of the man's discharge. The result was that the employer had to cringe, and the workman was allowed to go on with his work. Such instances, it is affirmed, have been numerous within the last few months; and at length the employers, a fortnight ego, followed up their former notice by one in these words : We, the undersigned members of the Bary Cotton Spinners and Manufacturers' Association, do hereby agree that we will cease working on the 10th November, 1853, both as regards spinning and weaving, wales' all disputes now existing between the operative/ who are now on strike and their masters, who are members of the said association, be arranged in the meantime to the satisfaction of the eigninaittee of arch association." As above stated, the notice has expired, and the work people arc in the streets. The following is a list of the galls closed, to which is added an approximate estimate of the hands employed at each, and the number of bags of oaten consumed : No. of operatives Bags of cotton employed consumed Firms.

Calrow The operatives have made no overture of conciliation. On Wednesday they sent a note to the masters' committee to say they desired an interview for a deputation, and the committee summoned a meeting to afford them this oppor• tunity. When the deputation arrived, however, they had ' no proposal to make. They said they were not authorieed to make any proposal, bat they wished to know, now that the strike was so near, if the employers had any concession to offer? The committee treated this cool inquiry as a mere matter of business, and replied that they had not. And so the conference terminated. At one mill, where many girls and young women were employed, it is stated that the wages of many of them were 16e. to 18e. per week ; those working two looms earning 10e. to 12s. per week, inde pendent of the 4e. they would have to pay for helpers, and such as worked four looms earning 16s. to 18e. after paying helpers. It was a quiet piece of tyranny on the part of these young people that alter getting the advance of 10 per gent. on the earnings of themselves and helpers, they pocketed the whole advance every week, without sharing any portion with their helpers. It *as asked at this mill if they had subjected their people to a reduction of ten per cent., as was alleged, in the year 1847 The reply was in the affirmative ; but the manager said that it was a nominal and not a reel reduction, inasmuch as he could show by the books (which he offered to produce) that the operatives had since been earning ten to twelve per cent. more wages per week, although working as many as nine hours per week less than they did in 1847. In reply to the question if the work was heavy or a kind of drudgery the females accepted unwillingly, the answer was that, on the contrary, young women accepted factory work at Bury ra ther than any other ; that they would not be domestic servants, and as a consequence that such servants were difficult to meet with, and that many families went far into the agricultural districts or to Ireland for them. Many of the girls of 14 or 15 years of I age only, in the mills at Bury, earn more money per week ' than their fathers and brothers who are employed at spade labour elsewhere, in addition to having a shelter from the ; weather, whilst they are much less subjected to loss of time than out-door labourers. A PICTURE FROM THE SCENE OF WAR. " Rontchuk is a considerable town in Bulgaria, of some thirty thousand inhabitants, situated on a promontory advancing into the Danube. From the roofs of its bosses a splemitd •iew may be obtained over the vast winding river, which is sufficiently deep to carry of large - _ sire. An immense number of vessels are oonstantly anchored along the quays. Prom a distance the town has a =aura ficent appearance ; but, as usual, the streets are narrow, dirty, and dismal. The lower parts of the houses, as is the ease everywhere in Turkey, are without windows. The ' shops are geaerally tolerably well supplied with merchandise. Travellers bound for Constantinople hire ,horses at this place, and put themselves under the guidance of • Tartar. The distance to Schunda is reckoned generally at twenty-two hours. The road is picturesque; and, for some time after starting, the valley of the Danube remains in sight. Between Sinionscha and Tomlak it is descried, however, foe the last time from • lofty table lead. The road then enters she valley of the Lom, bordered on both sides by precipices, and carpeted with verdure. As you proceed the ground rises and the path leads across hills and valleys, hers and there covered with brushwood. All this country isthinly inhabited. Now and then Bulgarian villages may be seen in the distance, but on the road are only one or two soli tary Khans. The neighbourhood en hidden inhabited places is indicated by wells on the road side, from which paths lead up into the mountains. Women with jars upon their heads are sometimes seen coming down for water. The first halt is usually at itaagrad, a town inhabited by about 15,000 Moslems and a few Bulgarian families. Asa rule, the Christians, whose occupations are almost en' irely agricaltural, are disseminated in small villages throughout the eountry. Their number is estimated at between four and five millions. The Turks, infinitely less nu merino, are congregated in the great towns ; bat there are eons villages here and there entirely Turkish. As they are generally placed in commanding positions, they are probably inhabited by descendants of old military colonies, established to keep the country in sukjection. Beyond Rasped there still condones a succession of valleys and hills. The latter inCrellie gradually is height until, from the table-land of Banda* the heights of S.ebsinila and the long range of the Balkans stretching with the uniformity of a wall be hind, come in eight. A little further on the view suddenly opens to the left, and the eye, following the magni fi cent valley of Paravadis, distinguishes in fine weather the deep ba of Viruses the Blaca Sea. Crossing a steep range of hills, by • defile commanded by a redonbt—probably at pre sent by many such fortifications—we come at length in 'leant the great defenaive works of &Annals, to reach which the road makes • considerable aarre."—Dickens's "Household Words."

THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 12, 1863. . CITY CORPORATION COMMISSION. Qlth respect to the Court of Aldermen, he had tc °buret t►at, is Mostaganem, many of the powers of that body ought to be abolished. They had a power over the City parse; they ►ad a right, for instance, to great pensions. But that to which he principally objected In the constitution of the Court of Aldermen wu their right to order prosecutions to be instituted. They eat atonally with open doors, bat they claimed a right to include the public, sad they sometimes oureised that right. He would next pass to the case of the sheriffs. The °Hos of sheriff, both in the City and in ►tiddle se:, was at present merely of a ceremonial character. The jury panels were returned by the secondaries, who were paid °doers of the City, and who had no connesion with the sheriffs. The neat body to which he would refer was the Court of Common Council. That court was the great council of the City. They bad extensive legislative powers They had also entire control over the funds of the corpora tion, with the exception of those powtrs placed in the hands of the Court of Aldermen, to which he had already adverted. In order to constitute a Court of Common Council, it was usually thought to be necessary that the Lord Mayor, or his locum teams, and two aldermen should be present. But there was some dispute as to the precise lumber of aldermen who should assist at a Court of Com. -4 The Commietiosen met again at twelve o'clock yesterday is the Privy Conseil Chamber, Downing-street, Mr. Lansaw* in the chair. Mr. A. Pullin, of the Inner Temple, barrister-at-law, was the first whims examiued. He said he was the anther of a treatise on the laws sad usages of the City of London. He attended compulsorily upon that occasion to give his evi.lence ; and the reason why he did not voluntarily come forward was that as he bad been engaged professionally to cases in which the corporation of the City was concerned he ' was afraid that he might lay himself open to the charge of disciceing matters which had oaly become known to him in his professional capacity. Under these circumstances he hoped the esmosimaionen would allow him to withhold any infor mation which he might think that he could not in honour communicate. In the mune of his professional experience he had been led to note defects in the present corporate system of the City. In ancient times the corporation of London bad stood in a peculiar position towards the state—a position which it was impossible that it could occupy at the present day. It had possessed very exten sive powers, which appeared to have rendered it in some measure independent of the crown, and it had °name oc casions exercised a voice in the succession to the throne. Its privileges had been of very remote origin, and had been confirmed by William the Conqueror and rainy others of our ancient kings. It had ma ie several loans to thine sove reigns. Those loans had been advanced by the citizens not as private individuals, but in their corporate capacity. He could not attribute to the corporation of London any direct political influence since the period of the accession of Henry VII. ; but it bad no doubt exercised a moral in fluence in the state subsequent to that time. The official dignity of the Lord Mayor was, to a certain extent, pub licly recognised in this country. The Lord Mayor, in ancient times, claimed a right to the office of chief butler to the sovereign. The Lord Mayor was • member of the Privy Council. Witness could not say whether he was a Privy Councillor solely in the case of the demise of the Crown and the accession of a new sovereign. He believed the Lord Mayor was not sworn in anew on the occasion of the decease of a sovereign, and the Lord Mayor was the only functionary in this country who enjoyed, without any uew grant from the Crown, any dignity which he might have previously possessed. moo Council. The Lord Mayor had tte rigid to dissolve that court by taking up the mace, as it was called ; and that right was sometimes exercised amidst scenes of considerable confusion. As soon as the Lord Mayor took up the mace, the proceedings of the day were ceeessmily brought to • close. It appeared to witness that the Court of Common Council consisted at present of too many members. The Lord Mayor acted as president of the court, tied decided on points of order in its meetings. The court had an unlimited power of charging their property. He would nest refer to the livery and the common hall. The livery consisted of the higher class of members of companies rue had the power of meeting in common hall or general assembly at the Guildhall for the election of lord mayors, sheriffs, and chamberlains. The name of the livery had originally been applied to the whole of the cit;zens of London, and it had owed its origin to a garb which every free citizen had a right to wear. Very large sums--in 'nine ewes as much as 1,0001. were paid by parties on becoming liverymen ; and thus few working goldatnitbs, for instance, had become members of the livery of the Goldsmith,' Csmpany. In the less wealthy !enmities, however, the ckarge far joining the livery was very trifling. There were some com?anies without any liverymen ; the wateriness and the fellowship porters, for example, were not admitted to the freedom of the City. He would next refer to the Court of Common Hall. That court, which was composed of members of the livery companies, was very numerously attended, and its proceed lags were occasionally very noisily ceulueted. It was said that many of the voters at the common hall received money for their votes. It bad always appeared to him that the Common Council which had the right to regulate the City assemblies, might, without any very great diffi culty, prevent the confusion and the irregularity which Chairman—Rave you any information t 3 give the com mission with regard to the relations of the corporation of London to the trade of the metropolis ? Witness said that, by very ancient eharten, the corpora tion had had the exclusive control of the trade of London. In former times, the laws end regulations of the City of London were less liberal towards foreigners than those of the other mercantile towns of England. Practically, at the present day, the only regulations enforced for exclusive trading in the City were enforced against brokers, publi ear.s, and retail dealers. Similar trading privileges had existed in other corporations of England before the passing of the Municipal Reform Act. The right of exclusive dealing could net be conferred by charter, inasmuch as it was opposed to the common low; and it could only be enjoyed under an act of parliament, or through immemo rial usage. Those trading privileges which had been abo lished in other towns by statute, might of course be abo lished by the same means in the City of London; and to the honour of the corporation he should say that it had pro posed their abolition in a bill which had been introduced into parliament the year before last ; bat that proposal had been defeated through the instrumentality of the livery companies. The corporation of London was in vested by ancient charters and statutes with the regula tion of what was called the conservancy of the Thames. That conservancy of the Thames appeared to have consisted principally in providing for the removal of weirs that might impede the navigation of the river, and in regulating the taking of fish, of which, as it was well known, very few were at preaeat to be found in the Thames in the vicinity of London. The rights of the corporation in the port of London consisted in the power of imposing tolls. In re turn for those tolls, they no doubt expended some money on wharfs and landing places: but he did not know any other expenditure which they incurred in connexion with the maintenance of the port of London. By a charter of James 1., the corporation of the City had received a right , 1 to the outage of corn, fruit, and potatoes, brought within I the limits of the poet of London. That right included both banks of the Thames, as the corporation contended; but that interpretation of the charter had been disputed, and the point was at present awaiting the decision of the Court of Chancery. The charter of James I. had also given the corporation a right to the metage of coal, They had obtained the right to measure coal, which had at that time been a new importation; and in order to measure l it a necessity arose of carrying it to be measured. The corporation, therefore, without any express grant of the porterage of corn and coal, but by virtue of their general right to regulate labour within the City, had created a fellowship of porters. The meters composed a fellowship not incorporated but created under certain regulations by the corporation. The office of a meter was a very valuable one, and was not open to the public generally. The present state of the law on the subject of the privileges of the cor poration engendered& vast deal of litigation. It would be easy to see that that result was inevitable, when be stated that within the limits of the metropolis there were 700 local acts of parliament, very nearly 100 charters, and nearly as (Prom the General Board of Health, Nov.

Witness said it appeared to him that the officers of the corporation were decidedly tco numerous. There were among thou officers gentlemen of very great intelligence ' and worth: but looking to the duties wiiich they had to discharge in an area which embraced a small portion only of the metropffis, he could not help thinking that their number ought to be reduced. All the City officers were, es far as he was aware, paid for their ser vices. The corporation had four or five different officers for the transaction of almost every branch of municipal business. In the legal department they had first of all a Recorder and a Common Serjeant. The duty of the former officer had originally been to record the customs of the City, and the duty of the latter had been to appear as their ad vocate in the courts of Westminster 11.11. But the Recorder -- - no longer performed his ancient funetions, and hit principal business at present wee to preside at trials in the Central Criminal Court. Again, the corporation had a solicitor for the management of their common-law business, a remem• brancer for conducting their parliamentary business, and a comptroller for arraugiog their conveyancing. They had thus three solicitors, and they had besides a town clerk, who had usually been a solicitor, although that office was at present filled by a member of the other branch of the legal profession. The town clerk attended the mutinies of the Court of Aldermen and the Court of Common Council, as well u the meetings of the committees of those courts ; he bad the custody of their records, and he seemed to be the most active officer of the corporation. Witness had seen very efficient offizen in the City, and if their duties were to embrace the whole of the metropolis they might all, perhaps, be retained with advan tage ; bat under present eircumttanees the staff of the cor• poration was too large. He could not state from his own knowledge whether the patronage of the corpor.ttion had or had not been as well exercised as that of other bodies throughout the country, and he did net therefore like to give any opinion on the subject. He believed that the evils or abuses in the official establishment of the corporation arose from that want of good order in the management of their business which was the result of the altered circum stances in which they had been placed since the period of their original formation, and not from any determination to use their powers for any corrupt or improper purpose. The whole system was at present too complicated, and ought, in his opinion, to undergo considerable revision. The evidence of Mr. Pulliog was not concluded at four o'clock, when the commission adjourned till twelve o'clock on Tuesday next. THE CHOLERA. SPORTING. LATEST DETTLNG AT MANCHESTER. Fitt OAT.
