I felt it to he so cerium am to lose any time in giving ,information on that subject to parliament, that as the first nght of the session, in replying to the speech of my noble friend opposite, I alluded to the quarrel between the Persian goveminent and Mr. Murray, which I stated bad been set made, and woe not one of the muss of the war. I laid that, although Mr. Murrsy had been compelled to leave Teheran, and that some Moony. Memo bed been caused by the suapension of diplomatic rehtiune, yet t hat we did not meatier that matter as a came for war with Nal& We knew that the conduct of Perla war one of the consequenots of the war with Heals, and we knew that, as soon as it was fatly understood in Persia that Re. 11,13 had made mein, we Amid seen coma to a more ✓amie try condiden of thing.. It woe only when Perna showed a diapositiou to attack and take powession of Herat, that we, although we had no diplamatic relations with the Court of Teheran, made a direct communication to the Persian government, and inked that government to derist in carrying out their intentions with regard to Herat; and that there might be no doubt as to the intentions of her Majesty's government, I read to your lordships a letter addressed by an to the Persian govern ment, and their reply. It cannot therefore be mid that your leedships were entirely ignorant of the muses of the war, for if the whole of the papers had been laid on the table of the house they could nut have more distinctly stated the cameo of the war. the wrong derby the Persian government, and the course which it was incumbut on tam pumas, in case they did not listen to our issiondrancen • Wee wee addressed to me by the Persian minister, avoiding the subject of Ilemt, in which it wee said that an ambroadur was going on • eties plinientary whir to Pub, and that be would be instructed to enter into communication with us.

(Hear, hear) By the terms of the bury, the Pendia troops and authonties arc all to be with own ham Hord and Afghanistan within three months der the exehoss at ratifications of the treaty. The Shah et Persia tsilgaYkes all claim on Herat, or any territory in Alltheinisthe, and mimes to abstain from aU interference in theneirs of Afghanistan ; he recognives the independence of Afghanistan and at Herat, and stroke, that in the event of any dignities arising between Penis and Afghan istan, the Punka government will resort to the good offices of England ; end England on her part engages to use her btvt efforts to bring those differences to a adistactory set tlement. Although It may at times he necessary for Persia to repel Jammu.= from Afghanistan, yet she engages not to enter into hhosstilliities with that country for any other object, sadL. soon as satisfaction is obtained in such a mac, she is to withdraw bee troops. With regard to our monomial treaties with Persia, which were not in a ratidaetory state, it le now stipulated that in all commercial relations England shall be placed by Pettis on the fuot thg of the nowt favoured nations. It is also @U pdated that tie. Bunny shall return to Teheran, and that he shill he received with certain ceremonial doer- WU:WI. There is another provision en the treaty which will ro far to put an end to one of tho most fertile source. of dif fertnce, not dime with Peng& but in the East 'generally, and that is the protection of the subjects of Persia, employed by England =thither foreign powers. (Hear, hear.) The Earl of DERBY was understood to make some allu sion to the case of Itooheem._ _ . The Earl of CLARENDON-1 meet once more deny that limbo m was • l'ersian subject. (A laugh.) This system has been a constant subject of quarrel in Persia and the Pest, and I took the liberty, when the subject of the tresty between Turkey and Russia was before the! Cong.:um at Paris, of bringing that question before the representatives of the different powers, by whom it was well received, and they all undertook to promote a review of the present system of native protected subjects. We have engaged no longer to protect any subject of the Shah, except those actually in the service of the missions and consuls; of course, on condition that all other power. agree to adopt the same course. In eerry respect Ragland is to be placed in the Mao position in Persia as the most favoured nations, and I have no doubt that Franoe and Rued* will agree to a similar stipulatiqp on this subject, which will do more than an to prevent differences between Persia and t powers. With regard to the slave trade in Persian Gulf, there is a treaty which will aspire is 1862, but Persia has engaged to prolong it foe ten years more after the expiration of the time at which it was originally flied. It is stipulated that hostilities shall came on the ratification of the treaty, and that our troops shall be withdrawn from Persia, and the Peden troops ate to be withdrawn bore Heed. Finkle Khan has sent letters to the auth..nties at the seat of war, proposing that an armistice • entered into. and we have sent similar instructions to our e remanding officers. Ido not think that I have omitted to state anything of importance which io provided for by the treaty, and I think your lordehips will tjeree that by Ma treaty we have obtained everything which is of 414,01:111111111 to us to have obtained.

The Earl of ELLENBOROVOH regretted that it was net poseible to place the papers relating to the Pevelan war before the hewn; but at the some time it would be unesisdid in him if he did net at owe when that, looking to the pro claniation of the government of India, and as the facto stated in that proelemenon to be correct he thought the out of India was perfectly justified in entering into M e iMperations against Penis; and maq that even if there bad been no treaty like that which had bean infrieged, it would have been, in his opinion, the bounden duty of the government of India to revert to hostilities to prevent the occupation of Bent by Penis ; for it was es much the inte nd of India to maintain Herd In the hands of an indepen dent purer, u it was to the intend of the western puree. to ma in tain the Bosphorus in the hands of an independent power. It wee essential that that gate of mu Indian empire should be in the hands of theft whom we could trust. But, at the same thee, he did not think that this had been really a quarrel between this country and Pereia; the teal quarrel had been not with Persia as an independent power, but with Russia, under whose dictation Penis had acted. Not only were the (Terence., against Herat carried on during the war with Rune, when they were calculated to act as a diversion. but they were carried on after the war with Russia had teased, and he took the treaty as complemental to the treaty of Pane, and as during that Ruda for the present adjourned her de s ire. on India ; that die had reconeddreed her puition and had found that her interest., demanded that there should be a good ondentanding between her and England in Europe, which could never MOW to pan no long as de was on operations in the direction of India, which mut be o • • 'onside to England. He founded his opinions of the policy of Rusia towarle India on her patent octe, by her March to /Chive, and her advance so far towards BoUara. He concluded from all her acts that she entertained des ig n, on India, Fs no state could do what she had done in that direction without having ultimate objects in view. He could not now or at any other time diatom the pro bability of the ennui. of Russia in such de igns. It was not expedient to do so. But he coat say that we exposed ourselves to imminent daisies if we considered the advance of an army di rected by Russians to India an inipaeibility. Unites we took awe to plate in India the ablest men at the head of the direction of our military power; if we imagined that we could send any man to command our armies there ; that we could commit the command of our armies to a gentleman who, however respectable in civil life, was not essentially a soldier, if we did that wo inclined imminent danger, for It was only by means of the that ability on our part that the ability with which the Russian troops would be .fteehd test they could be met. They heard much of the of India. of canals and railroads, but up= it it was not en any of these civil improvements we inlaid find the ultimate security of that empire.

We had had two Wars, one with China, and one with Perido, and both wise owing to bad appointments of the representative of Enstlind. No one could doubt that Dr. Bowring was the came of the war with China. He could not say that Mr. Murray was the cause of the war with Pars* led it was certain that he had added to oar del with that country.

All the interest that Orientals took in Europeans was pentad, and it was • personal Influence that men like Msk,ulm and Macdonald exercised in Persia. Depend upon it, if you 'abased insecure the influence of this eountry at Teheran, it moat be mewed by &person thoroughly acquainted with Orientals, and who had the tact to manage them. Ito would not now go farther into the subject, but be wished to de clare on the fast legitimate emotion that came before the home, his opinion that the war with Persia was just, and that we had been contending not with Perri• but with Ramis. The Earl of CLARENDON could not allow the attack of the noble earl on Mr. Murray, to past without en observation. The noble earl said that the war had been caused by the nn fitnesa of Mr. Murray far his °See, and the ground.. of the charge were, that he had no experience and no influence, and was unfit to deal with Orientals. But it was on account of the experience which Mr. Mussy had bed of Oriental*, and hie moms in dealing with them, that he woe appointed. lie had been six yews in Egypt, and had given greet satisfaction to those t 7 whom he had been employed. He was an admirable Amble scholar, and within a short time of his snivel at Teheran he conducted hie conversation with the natives in their own lesignage.

Earl of ALBEMARLE foaming from the "abject of the Pervian war wished to my a few words on the subject of the financial condition of India.

Sir 0. OBEY said the bill wait founded on the report of a committee which eat last year. It had born referred to the ecclesiastical commissioners to see if they had any ' , natation to nuke, and he had not received the bill buck front them. Under these circumstances he was not in a position to WCT the question, with mterd to the particular point to which the hon. gentle inan's onervaHons had been directed, that be thought very great inconvenience had arisen, and was likely to arise, from the practice which prevailed in Penis, under which foreign 111181101111 were entitled by preseription to exercise a protecto rate over Persian subjects not employed in the service of the mission. He thought it desirable for the permanence of friendly relation. with the government of Persia that that practice should be' discontinued. At the MUme thno he quite agreed with the hon. member that it would nut be be coming that one country should abstain from a practice which would be oontinued by other.. The abnegation should be general. We should be must ready to renounce fur ever all claim for protection of persona not absolutely employed by the nu.eion, provided other countries, especially Russia, should make the same COGOCSAIOII. Mr. LAYAIU) thought the doctrine laid down by the noble lord was a very good ono. As regarded Turkey, this rule had been put into practice, and thiee Turkish subjeete who formerly enjoyed British protection, and were continually getting the country into difficulty, had had their prvtection withdrawn. Ile was very glad to hear that a dream stop was going to be taken with regard to Penis. We bud had persons there connected with the royal family, and ministm; who had pat themselves under British protection, end had led the British embeissy into every kind of difficulty. But there was a more serious question which he should like to put to the noble loth, although ho was afraid he should get no answer. He meant, whether the terms which had been granted to us were nut offered at Constantinople, and not only whether they were not offered there, but whether the Persian ambassa dor was not willing to give no more. It mud be remembered that these negotiations wore commenced at Conatentinople had the war broke out, at lewd before news of the war had arrived at Constantinople—before it woe known that the Ninth expedition had reached the l'ersina Oult ; and consequently tU war and bloodshed hal been in vain. The chiefs of the tribes bordering on Afghenistan bad over and over again token refuge with the English, but now dome tribes who were our friends had been converted into enemiee. When a person belonging to these tribe. had been killed, the tribe never forgave it. He would not now enter into a diecussion on the general question ; it affected our relations with central Ada, and he thought bolero they entered into a treaty affecting their relations with central Asia, that home ought to have had an opportunity of ex pressing its opinions on the subject genmany. He thought that the great question of policy as regarded our relations with central Asia ought to have been discussed in that house on general grounds before they entered on this treaty. He would not now trouble the het/Fie further, because he knew that other matters were under consideration, and that wee not the time to bring about a discussion on curb a sub ject; but he ahould like to know if what Le had beard were true, that these terms were offered at Constantinople before the esprdition *ailed ? Lord PALMERSTON was understood to reply that the terms of the treaty which had been concloded were better than those which we should have been likely to have got at Constantinople. Tho negotiations at : Constantinople were broken off, not by the British negoMiter but by Ferukh liken himself. Tho On for adjournment wu then put and negatived. CHINA. In answer to Sir 11. WILLOVOHAY, Mr. LABOUCNESE said the last reports represented the northern porn of China to be in a elate of tranquillity. . . THE FOItTIICOMING ELECTION. Mr. VANCE said it might be in the recollection of the home that in 1852 a great masa of petitions were presented against the return of members, to that house, and if the allegations enntelned In them were true flers, would be maven to believe that the mnatituencies were in a highly in state as regarded bribery and corruption. Many of them went off on technical objections, but the generality of them met a different fate. Petitions were paired off ens ageing another, and many of them disappeared altogether. They improved on that prutiett in Ireland, because it so happened there was scarcely a Angle case of • member returned after a contest in • borough or a county in which there was not a petition against the return. They were all traced to the same source. the dramatis primate being the late Mr. John itedleir and his solicitor. l'his naturally produced • little retaliation, and petitions were got up against hon. gentlemen opposite. 1 here was a meeting, and they were all paired off euoept two or three. Hie reason for mentioning the matter now was that they had no security that a almilareouree would not be adopted at the nest °lichen, and be eddied to ask the noble lord whether he intended to move any sessional order, with a view to put • step to phis system. to take out the troop. to China, the Transit and the Sans pareil. Now, it 11.41 well known that the Sunoporeil woo one of the worst ships in tim .mire ; and he hod 'teen things stated in the public papery unfavourable to the Transit. They had lately beard of a chip going to sea with a hole in her bottom; and he hoped that the government would take ears that the manner in which the Chinese expedition wee scut out should not he open to censure. Sir M. BERKELEY could assure his hon. and gallant friend that every rare had been taken with regard to the con dition of the chips which were to convey the troope. He could assure him too, that the Sanepareil had proved her colt to be an ezei:edingly good ebip. As for voteele having hole* in their bottom, there was not one that went to sea without twelve or fourteen. (A laugh.) Sir J. PAKINOTON hoped that the chip* would, at all events, be pent out in a better condition than the Mere's, which took out the umet important part of the troupe destined fur the Mauritius.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, the 'abject of the transit dues had been very easefully 1.012X1. dered by oar minister at Copenhagen and the ministers of other ppoower. interested in the renriesionof the trunsit dues ; he oaderßood that the settlement embodied in the treaty nee about to be signed had given amiefaction not only to our minister, but to the *gents of the name Towns and other powers intereeted in the queotion, and 1w had every remit to believe that the stipulations contained in the treaty were pease able. The treaty was not yet signed. THE WORKHOUSE OF ST. GEORGE'S, HANOVER SQUARE.

He had givennothe to put thequestion oaths motion that the house at its rising adjourn till Monday, that be might be enabled to make a few observations, and in order to put him self in order, he would conclude with that motion, The clause to which he wished to call attention was thatby which England was to abandon the protectorate of Pernan subjects in future. He dined say that advantage.. would be gained by this concession which would counterbalance the disad vantages, but he thought wo ought not to make the, conces sion unkviN a similar concemion were made by other powers. He had baud that the minister who had been sent hem to negotiate tkila toasty wee limpet( under the protection of Ronda.

Tho motion wu agreed to nemine eateradirente. The house then resumed. SUPPLY. The report of Committee of Supply en the precious night was brought up. Mr. VILLIERS—I with to ash the riermieeien of the home to make a single obeervatien on what fell lost night from the hon. and gallant gentleman the member for Hun• tingelon (Gen. Peel), with:referance to the proceedings of the Chelsea Board. The gallant gentleman stated that I had been the prroon to impute a charge of political bias to the pausal officers in the conduct of their preceedings, and in the decision they came to. I with to state distinctly that I did not do so, and that I did melody the contrary . The only occasion on which I refereed to the polities of the board was in defending myself against a charge of the some kind that had been made against me elsewhere. I stated that no hiss whatever had been manifested during the whole of tho proceedings ; and that I did not know in the lea s t wh a t the 'edifice of the board were, fur I had never collected from anything they bail maid the mealiest inforniation on the sub ject. I believe that the hon. and gallant gentleman the member foe Huntingdon did not intend to &ewe tae of having made ouch a charge. The only thing like it that I said was, that I had heard the board were on the conserva tive aide ; and I regret that error, for it has been mode use of fee the purpose, of charging them with notified favour. I certainly never heard till two or throe weeks ago, when the hen, and gallant gentleman informed me for the first time, although my statement had been needs meth months before that the general entrant enneidered themselves aggrieved. I uedermand from the hon. and gallant gentleman, that Sir Alexander Woodford, General Knollys, and Sir G. Berkeley, have all declared themselves to be not en the con 'creative aide. (A laugh.) I certainly regret that I im puted that to them. (Laughter.) Mr. STAFFORD repeated the obeervatinne he made on the night, with respect to the dote of the army department. He walled to enter his earnest and mowneftel protest ardent the medical Arrangements of the Chinese expedition. The general horpitide which would be opened on the arrival of the troop. at Canton would be on the same principle, or rather want of principle, and would be method by the mine ennfueion of departments, the woe clashing of authorities which had made Scutari a theme too mthincholy to dwell on. All the expectations that had been held out to the public:and all the Lopes that had been entertained of Improvement had led to nothing. We had learned nothing from the sad experience of the puff; and we could place lean reliance than ever on the promisee of the prominent. The general hoapitels at l'oetsneouth and Woolwich, and in fort all the military general h , apitals, eon travted very unfavourably with thooc of the other servicee. The miseries of the late war might peal from the neelleetion of the house, but after what he (Mr. Stafford) had witnessed, they could never be effaced from hie own memory ,• and if be bad the honour of a wet in the new parliament, he Pbuald bring the subject again before the home. (Hmr, how.) Mr. PEEL said that since yesterday he had referred to the recommendations of the committee to which the hon. gentle man had referred. He found that the most Impertent of three resolution, bad referenee to en increase in the pay of medical offlems, and to permeated facilities for their retire ment on half-pay. He (Me. Peel) would not deny that the aup: , :rior advantage held out by other memiece might have the e lb' of drawing away the cleverer men from the army; and he therefore desired to see the advantages held out by the army made at least equal to those which were presented by other rervires. But the hon. gentlemen must be aware that when the government was reetrieted in the amount it could expend on the army, it must norawanly exercise the right of retesting from the various iniproveelents suggested thee. which they thought the most urgent, and of postpnungothers which, though of great value ? they didnot think of ouch press ing importance. It was on thus account alone that tho govern mime had not carried out the recommendations to which the hon. gentleman had referred. It was the intention of the government to nppoint a comndeeion for the purpose of eon eidering the whole of the existing arrangements; and he had perfect confidence, and the result of its labours and of the committee of last year, of which the hon. gentleman was the chairman,would enable the government to dealwith the qua non ins manner which would be entiofactory to individual officers and lametleial to the Pereira. The hon. gentlemanha indulged In very gloomy peedietions with regard to the Chinese expedition. It wan not to Le denied that the climate was sickly and unfavourable to the European eon ' ethernet ; but the government would send out a numerous body of medical oftme. „ would tarnish every possible Mud of medical More, and would take every poedble preform°. ;:l every t found enardagelnat thetna w of the unhealthy in end nheelthyclirnat Hs that the government had done everything in their power to place the medical departroent of the expedition on a taliefeckey footing. (Hear, bear.) Mr. STAFFORD said his complaint had priaciplly reference to the ospanlea ti en of th e dapertaasst. _____ Sir F.

SIR JOHN 110 RING DEFENDED. The following energetic defence of Sir John Bow ring proceeds from the pen of one of his sons—Mr. Edgar A. Bowring, registrar and librarian to the Board of Trade: Protected by the privileges of parliament, and profiting by the favourable opportunity of "stabbing in the bark" a man 10,000 mile away from his native land, and therefore unable to raise his voice in self-defence for many months to come, certain "noble" lords and "right honourable" and "honourable" gentlemen have thought it con sistent with their position as British legislators and men of honour to lay to the charge of Sir John Howring during the recent debates In both Houses of Parliament, without circumlocution, and in so many words, the heaviest crime that can be alleged against a man in his relations to wards society—that of "wilful and deliberate falsehood," in consequence of a pretended discrcpany between two letters addressed to Consul Parkes and Commissioner Yeb rupee . tively, in the first of which ho stated that "the Arrow had no right to hoist the British flag," while in the sewed be obeerved that "there is no doubt that the loreha Arrow lawfully tom tho British flag under a register granted by „ That there may be no mistake so to the language used in reference to this subject, I will cite the very words employed by some of the so reported in your columns. A youthful earl sitiesd" the falseness and perfidy " of the traneaction ; a recalled Governor-General of India won dered that "her Majesty could permit soy non to remain in her service who could state the thing he believed not to be true the member for F • en said that Sr J. . . , - Ilowring had boon guilty of " equivocation, fain , - hood, erasion, misrepresentation ;" a late First Lord of the Admiralty stated that ho had "advisedly and knowingly practised a deliberate deception upon the Chinese government ;" a late Colonial Secretary charged him with " falsehood, or the most barefaced contradictions;' an expectantan former Chief j rtg i n ee t of the Dos used ed of f T' ' r d a i re emplo yed the phrase of " liar " and " and deliberate fal sehood" Three extracts are perhaps sufficient. So gnat was the importance attached to making good this cruel charge, that some of the above speakers actually made it after the news of the wicked attempt to murder Sir J. Doering and his family by poison bad become publicly known, and while it wee quite uncertain whether their lives would bo saved. As Sir John Bowoing's nearest relative and as his repro-. tentstive in this country during his absence in China, I could not hear there charges advanced without the greatest pain end the greatest smaxement• feeling that, if true, he would be unworthy to hold hie sovertogres commiteion. These experienced in parliamentary tat nee told me, indeed, that these accusations were put forward mainly to influence votes in the division, and not from any irrepressible horror of falsehood ," and that they aro also intended to be turned into capital at the forthcoming general election in shown by the address just issued by a right hon. member for Portsmouth who voted against the government, and who de liberately repeats the gross charge of falsehood now that the heat and peoaion of the debate have passed away. Ido not now addrees you, sir, to deny the fact that Sir John Bowring actually employed the two plume. upon which those heavy accusations are based, as be undoubtedly did employ them ; but I write to protest indignantly and emphatically on his behalf against the unjust and ungene rous inferences drawn from them, and I trust to be able to show your ceders in a very few words bow meetly and hew cruelly two simple sentences, each equally correct, have, for party purpowe, been twisted from their plain and obvious meaning to convey a sense never for ono m o ment intended by their writer. On taming to the blue-book from which these passages were taken I was immediately struck by the feet that the two letters containing them were written at an interval of five week. from each other, and that 79 ponderous page" of correspondence intervened between them. But on looking at the documents to which these letters were the reply, the apparent discrepancy between them was instantly explained, and the utter Injustice of Sir J. Bowring's accusers displayed in their piecing in juxtaposition what I cannot but call garbled extract. of deopatchea, inasmuch sea knowledge of the eireumetanem under which they were written is indispen sable to understanding theta properly. I leave your readers to judge of the femme of those who could wilfully suppress half the truth end take ad ventage of Sir J. Bos-liw.,'s abeence to advance allegations of falsehood against him, which, if present, he would have instantly and triumphantly refuted. Surely, the honour of England is felling low, when her eo-called states men thus etandeeeend. In writing hie first letter to Consul Parkes on the 11th of October, Sir J. Bowring acquainted him that, having failed to comply with a certain provision of our colonial law, "the Arrow bad no right to hoist the British fag." But, after showing that this was the case under our municipal reltula lions—that is to say that as between ourselv es an d the vessel, she had lost by a vary few days bar claim to insist on our protection (though the fact of her hsoing, without opposition on the part of the Chinese authoritice, deposited her p apers with the British consul after her register had ex pired proved conclusively that she wee still a British vessel every sense of the word), the plenipotentiary proceeded to show that, as between ourselves and the Chinese, this technical Saw in the register made no difference whatever, and that the Arrow, by treaty end International law, se distinguished from muni cipal law, remained a British vessel to ell intents end within the broad meaning WeliTas all he cif the treaty with Chips, bad to consider. Since the elms of the debate I have ascertained that the Arrow is well known in China es a regular British trader, and that the expiration of the Bosom in her ease is by no means a singular one, as such expiration cannot be avoided in many instances, when the vessel happens to be absent the time from the waters of Kong Kong. But the rule In each assn is to mew the meter as seat* of coarse when she returns there, the master being, unruly repilleand4 his carelessness when neeevary. But what as respects Sir I. Bolrring's second letter—th g to Commi.ioner leh of the 11th of November Why, spoeilimill stated to be a reply to Yetis lett er o f t h e [ fib,/ that mon th, in which ho stated that "the Isryha less Lou by a Chin.,; a register was pnrelmsed for Ler 04 the 11, chant Block for 1,000 dots., and she ...wood the Britoi l flag without being entitled to it;" or ((an tneulatod woo• curate ly in the note, no proved by a sulseopant letter of k.lO aulaumed the flag fraudulently." Here is ch.rly reared, sweeping assertion that the cirrutosmoccs .1.44 by him rendered the use of the British flag friuthd e . t. and that the creed, in her general c.harayter, was and not British. In apecilk refutation of this bawd untrue ihitement, Sit Joint I.l.wrina madu that nlastly broad but true reply which is now so that " the Arrow lawfully bore dm British nag, ow e register granted by him." In other words, while lkh steed that the vessel toomonsl, awl therefore bore the IL/ frawi t . lastly, Sir J. Bowriug rejoined that clue did not, but to td contrary bore it lawfully. And ilia is the wilful and dale. rate jkloehood eharged against the latter, Tim further rePenti.2, 7 7,f Yeh,dig;dßoventher 17, prone conclueively that the &sensation had reformer to the goneral character of the Arrow, and not to her los ldest,4 and Meal position at the moment of the outrage, fur lie Arms almost verbatim his former statement as to the madame of the register, and adds that "she fraudulently sauteed the flag of your nation." I believe, sir, that your readers will deem the foregoing plain statenamt of facie coneJusive evidence of th e the charge. advanced against Sir J. 'Mining; but, is may caste, I have already written urgently to him ti bite his own explanation in his own words, and I now pledge myself, on hie behalf, that at the earliest possible tilotikin a full end complete answer shall he Riven by him to thew elandosue shoidd his health be Frowned, and he lava escaped the band of the poisoner and assassin dinsted agsf a n him at Hoag Kong, and nut sink under the effects ~f the insidious poison rent him from home.
