The following letter from Professor Goldwin Smith appears in the Doily News of this morning : TO Till ZDITOZ OF TRZ DAILY 21TWE. So.,—lt was easy to foreeee that Englishmen serving the Emperor of China in a war against "rebels" would soon be involuntarily implicated in the practices of Chinese warfare ; and it was not long before the news arrived that this anticipation had been fulfilled by the torture of Taeping pri soners. The government has written to its officers for an answer to this charge. The answer has been sup plied, and published in the Gazette. I believe it will be thought that, under the circumstances, not the least important parts of this document are its admissions. It admits that prisoners of war taken by the combined army of Chinese Imperialists and Eng lish were sentenced to the ' Ling che " or " slow and ignominious death," what the English in China call " cutting into a thousand pieces." The victims, we are told, "had been spared as much as possible, and little more than the form of the horrible punishment had been carried out' The English officer who reports this saw the victims, eight or ten in number, tied naked to poste and awaiting their execution : he did not stay to see the execution, nor can be say of his own knowledge I that further torture was not inflicted. One of the prisoners was crying out very loud that he was a Shanghai coolie, and that he ought not to be put to death as a rebel. "He had, however," observes the officer, " very long hair ;" which, it seems, is sufficient evidence in those courts. The primness had been exposed, slowly tasting the bitterness of death, from mid-day to half-past four or five o'clock, when the officer saw them. The excuse given by the Chinese commander was, that it was impossible to prevent the Im perialist soldiers from ftking vengeance for their comrades, 300 of whom had bwn tortured to death by the Taepings. Such is this war, in which Eng lishmen, without any call of national duty, and against all the laws of international justice, are instigated by our government to take part. The British commanders have remonstrated against the torturing of captured Taepings, but it does not appear that they have remonstrated, or been in structed to remonstrate, against putting them to death. In fact it appears that English officers sanctioned the execution of these prisoners by their presence. Yet the captured Taepings are just as much prisoners of war, and as much entitled to their lives after surrender, as any captured Con federates in the bands of t he Federal'. We have no more right to interfere for the pur pose of helping the Imperial government to put down the Taepings in China, than we have to interfere for the purpose of helping the Federal government to put down the Confederates in America ; and every Taepiog prisoner taken and put to death by the Imperial government with our assistance is, in fact, murdered by the government ot this country. And now, suppose the Taepings capture some of the Emperor of China's English mercenaries, and condemn them to the "slow and ignominious death," what is our government to do 1 This is a pregnant question. The House of Commons, roused for a moment to a sense of the gravity of this subject, extorted from the Minister • pledge that the British army should take no general part in the war between the Imperialists and the Taepings, but should confine its action to the protection of our factories. To escape from this pledge he raised, by the use of his Sovereign's name, a filibustering force under the authority of the English crown, for the service of the Emperor of China. I call it a filibustering force, because, though the officers and men composing it may be honourable and brave, it is raised without the knowledje of Parliament, to serve against a power with which the nation is not at war. Such a pro- I ceeding is a gross breach alike of the constitutional duty of government and of international justice ; and it may place the nation in the most painful ' and embarrassing position. English soldiers serving with the sanction, though not under the flag, of their Sovereign, may fall into the hands of bar barian enemies, and be subjected, as the necessary consequence oetheir own conduct and the practices of their allies, to the atrocities of barbarian warfare. The nation will then have to choose between en during that which is scarcely to be endured, and being plunged by an intriguing government, against its will, into an unjust war. 'fhe evils and perils of such a proceeding are so obvious, that it is to be hoped Parliament will be roused to interpose, and by a clear expression of its opinion render a repe tition of the offence impossible for the future. Things are running, you will see, pretty much the same course in China which they ran in India. We begin by allowing the piratical cupidity of our mercantile adventurers to break the trade regula tions of the native government ; and in this case, for the purpose of forcing into the country, as the harbinger, I presume , of Christianity, a physical and moral poison which the native government had very properly excluded.

A war waged by armed men against unarmed can have but one issue—the glorious victory of the armed. The native govern ment, which had subsisted by the veneration of its subject a, is broken up by the humiliation of defeat, and we stalk, through the anarchy and confusion which we have ourselves produced, to the posses sion of an empire. The despatch to which have referred shows that the English officers in China are taking into their service a body of native Chinese, analogous to the Sepoys. By what authority is this done I The Chinese are subject& of the Emperor of China, not of the British Crown, unless the career of conquest is held to have already begun. A similar drama is being acted in Japan, where we have done violence to prejudices more grotesque, but not more essentially absurd than many to which deference is paid in Europe and, having thus brought on confusion and bloodshed, seem now about, by way of diplomatic satisfaction to add that country also to our dordlnions. We force ourselves upon these people, against their will, on the plea that they are barbarians. We then exact from them the strictest observance of the rules and even of the etiquette of civilized diplo macy ; and if they fail in that observance we pro ceed, in the name of civilization and Christianity, to cut their throats and take possession of their country. Parliament, careless, cajoled, or browbeaten, seems to have almost ceased to exercise au effective control over the administration. When the House of Commons suffered the Ministers to enter into a war of their own with a force raised, without the knowledge of Parliament, under the authority of the Crown in council, and when it further suffered them to assert the power of using the Indian army at their discretion for other than Indian wars, it virtually gave up to a great extent the control of peace and war in that part of the globe. Perhaps, air, some of us may live to see the effect of this Eastern empire on those consti tutional principles which we deem so sure. There is no example, I believe, in history, from imperial Rome down to imperial France, of a nation which has trampled on the rights of others without ulti mately forfeiting its own. For, alter all, the Justice which rules the world, let popular ministers scoff at it as they please, is sure and strong. But even the government itself, as experience hes proved, when once launched on a policy of aggrandisement, retains practically no effectual control over its agents in these distant spheres. They are masters of the situation, able to give things any turn they please ; and it suits them, whether they are military or mercantile adven turers, to give things such a turn as may lead to conquest. As to the nation, it remains in total ignorance of what is going on till it is engaged in war, when reckless appeals are made to its passions by demagogues, whose high rank and station does not render them less mendacious and profligate than the lowest seducers of the people. The truth, sir, which it is most desirable that you and all honest public instructors should in culcate, is that the mass of the people have no !p -i tereat whatever in this filibustering policy. The mass of the people have no interest—the world would be strangely ordered if they had an interest , —in any but peaceful and honourable trade. It was t enough for them that the Chinese government, though rude and barbarous compared with ours, preserved order and security sufficient to foster a marvellous and most productive industry among the countless millions beneath its sway, and that China supplied us with all we could afford to buy, and would have supplied us with as much snore as we bad desired. And •if our . .ple, in their connexion with China, looked a.. ye mere trade, and desired to propagate their ideas and their religion, the gentle force of commerce, the destined pioneer of a higher inter course, would have opened up in time the avenues through which civilization and Christianity would have found their way. Civilization is not to be spread by violence and fraud. Christianity is not likely to win the hearts of a new people when it comes to them walking hand in hand with Rapine over the wreck of all they venerated and the deso lation of their homes. The missionaries who con verted our Saxon ancestors, and made them for ever a Christian nation, came in the track of peaceful intercourse, and they came with no sinister com pauious. We know the fate that has attended the military missions of Cortes and Pizarro. Unless the nature of things is changed the same fate probably awaits ours. The only men who have an interest in the present policy are a few rapacious and unscrupulous adven turers, of that class who have been the firebrands of commercial wars throughout our history— who dragged us into the reckless and disastrous war with Spain, really to promote their own pirati cal enterprises, but as they professed to vindicate the national honour and avenge " Jenkyna's ears." These are the men who, for their opium smuggling and their filibustering, require of our arms the pro tection which honest trade gives itself without the aid of arms, wherever buyers and sellers are to be found. They make vast fortunes at the expense of the national treasury and of the naticuialhonour ; and they bring their fortunes home to do nothing but social and political mischief—to fill the country [ Stamped, Id. Additional.] with coarse luxury and depravation of manners ; to swell the mass of misery which luxury draws in Its train ; to render more hideous the contrast between the extremes of wealth and poverty ; to push ancient families from the seats in which they owned at least some tie of affection and of duty to the peasantry ; and to form the moat oligarchical members of the oligarchy of wealth which presses more and more heavily on the real happiness and the political progress of the nation. No doubt, air, all this has been said in vain before, and probably it will continue to be said in vain. The filibustering interest, from China to Brasil, has got p session of the government, and we are on the fa slope. But at least we may ask that Rapine will call itself by its own name. By that name it is bed enough. But when it Las itself a " minion" and " the extension of Christianity." it is ten times worse.—l am, kc., GOLDWIN SMITH. TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE.

CANADA. The Canadian screw steamer Nova Scotian, Cap tain Graham, from Quebec on the 19th, arrived at Liverpool about noon yesterday. In the Legisla tive Assembly of the Canadian parliament, on the 18th ult., the Hon. Mr. Holton, Minister of Finance, introduced his budget. The Qsebec Chronicle says :—" Of the scheme itself—that is, the ways and means per se—the house and the country are as profoundly in ignorance as they were on Monday, or a month ago. What Mr. Holton told us, in one of the most tedious speeches of the many to which it Las been our fate to listen, was that be intended to borrow money to stop the gaps which the country's necessities bad made, and that ho intended by and bye to introduce a system of taxation ; but as he was not prepared with any measure at present, he would in the meantime ask the house to consent to a resolution pledging itself to new taxation. The opposition objected to this little game of getting the supplies under a false pretence. Mr. Holton admitted that before he could go into the English money market it was necessary that parliament should be pledged to further taxation, and being without a definite policy in the matter he wished the house to strengthen his hands by an indefinite resolution that might be construed six or eight mouths hence to mean anything the Minister of Finance might desire. The opposition thought this was not exactly desirable, and Mr. Galt, with his usual ability and eloquent speech, blew the minister's budget into fragments. Mr. J. A. Mac donald briefly replied in an amusing and telling speech, and the house adjourned." The Volunteer and Militia Bill had likewise occupied the attention of the Canadian legislature, but no decisive action had taken place on the subject. THE CALCUTTA AND CHINA MAILS.

The steam sloops Lepanto, Alecta, and Buses Venture were at anchor in Malaga on the 21st. These vessels were at the disposal of the Captain General should so expedition against the Itiffians be decided on. Besides the above vessels 12 launches, each capable of disembarking 100 men, were:ready in that, port. The Gibraltar Chronicle, of the 25th tilt., says : Nothing appears to have been yet decided by the Spanish government respecting the expedition to the coast of Riff. A final determination will uot be some to until after the receipt of the Sultan's re ply, and this, we learn, had not reached Madrid down to the evening of the 23rd. Preparations, however, are being quietly Riede, in order that the expeditionary force may be despatched with as little delay as possible, should the astute of the Sultan'. sweet render it necessary for Spain to take the punishment of the Adkins into her own hands. The Spanish journals give the list of the several corps that are to form the expedition, arid the 'hips of war that are to compose the squadron ; and • Malaga toper mentions the arrival of • battery of artillery from Cresols la readiness for immediate embarkation. The gaxriaou of Melilla has already been reinforced by • battalion of the Galiciaregimeot.

I believe, he said, that it lathe first, if measured by a proper standard. lithe conclusion was one at which only we ourselves arrived it would still be very pa laying to our feelings, but we have had the advantage of the opinion of a foreign prince who lately presided over the meeting of an agnoultural society at a place sot verT ter adorn from this. if. have • to wonder that opiakm Sellkinni Nab, balm doubt • &admonished foreigner nsuucclh es the Duke of Auntie residing in this country is likely to take • just view of things which come before him.

All than things are parent to bear; but • power which watcher over as all feats that we might be too proud, and we have bees told in the press that though better off than people abroad, we have too many poor, and that though it is well to have egriculteral societies managing themselves, we might have been better off d we had • minister of agriculture We are further informed that the Ant spring of agriculture to/lowed on free trade, though len recollect that the first spring of agriculture as now carried on;:z us took place 40 or 50 years ago. But ell this his •p in what is called the leading organ. What are the facts ! At the beginning of the present century there was an agri cultural society supported by grants from parliameet. Some 40 yeses ago the governoteot of the day got nomonerall, rod that society was snuffed out. (Laughter.) Well, that society having been snuffed out, the Royal Agricultural Society sprang up. Therefore, it was not for want of a governing society that we were not better off. (Hear, bear.) Agreed tare, in my opinion, Las never stood still. You may trees it pop one period to soother ; and improvements ia L and wire developed be - fore tree trade was introduced. (Hear hear.) I come to book on that. (A laugh.) w I think there has been • great improvemeet in hat is called thorough dainties. The system, coatradiriegnished hoar the old Essex system, oemmeoced in this county. Ido not go very quick into thugs- (laughter)—bat my tenantry did this thirty years ago, therefore that improvement did not originate in free trade. it is quite true that after the introduction of free trade 2,000,0001. or 3,000,0001. of public money were lent to persons to enable than to thorough drain, but that only gave drelopmeat to • principle which had been known and acted on helm. (Rear, bear.) What is the other great improvement? The quick bringing to market of the stock prepared by the agriealsurit. That is an improvement which has been of vital importance to the people. If it were not for it they might have wagged their rye, but they would have had ,no meat to put in them. (laughter and " Her, hear.") Sheep, the greet staple food of the country, were now brouxht to market within twelve months after they were born, and when many of them have been shorn once. That began very many years ago in this part of England. I re. member seeing the young sheep walking to market with flannel jackets on their backs, to keep them from getting cold. (Load laughter.) What lam stating is • tact, and it rows how agriculture has gone on, till we now find small lambs going up. You do sot get such rood mutton, to be sure, but if you had not the supply which is now sent to market you could not feed the people. (Hear, hear.) Again, the improvemeota in machinery have gone on step by step ; from the rough hone thrashing mantis* to thane steam 1 . 01 046101 14 WWI we now 1 . 0 corking everyone of theme shows. True, the propels has se gradual, but my hoc. friend near me (sr. Barry, IL P.) will not proceed that the mills of Lancashire were r pr feet forty years ago as they are now. All modern trade and commerce is constantly improving, and in agriculture there are constant improvements as well as in trade. We have ndt gone on by jumps—we have bees continually im proving ; and I ern satisfied that we must still be doing so, in order to keep pace with the uccessitics of the time. Asti cultural shows are, useful in permitting us to see how we mu beet do so. Perhaps you of Woodstock think you are the best fellows in the world, but if you go a hundred miles you will find people who can walk round you. (A laugh, and cheers.) We see that these fellows go hater, and we find out that we must go feeler too. We must keep moving, and I believe we shall continue to move. But, it may be salted, why are not farmers as enthusiastic in favour of new inventions, and as quick to adopt them, as manufacturers are to avail themselves of improvements is machinery ? There is this great difference—that in experi ments made with respect to mesafsotnres , the circumstances are of a fixed character, while in respect of agricultural ex periments the best of them may be mast by atmospherical itiflueums, over which you have no control. An expierimeet which promises Tiny wall may turn out so be good for no thing. This naturally makes the agriculturist more careful than if he could at once make his experiments under more settled and favourable ciremeatancea He nest watch the effect of three or four seasons—he aunt Mapes such con clusions as if he made his experiments within four walls and under a fixed condition of things. Ido not like to me our profession run down as it sometimes is. Ido net see why, when the country has brought its agriculture to a print which bears comparison with that of other countries, we should not be allowed to proosed at a fair pane. We cannot increase our ground; that is every day taken from usfor houses and cottages; yet with all these things we have increased our produce, and this can only have been doe* by improved modes of working. I do sot conclude from this Mete of things that there is no amen for improvement. Quite the contrary ; but I think that by the efforts of such societies as these—by watching the ' effect of inventions, and by adopting such of them as tarn out to be real improvertente—you will keep the agriculture of this country, as it know, at the head of the agriculture of the world. (Cheers.) On political subjects, I thank God, there is not much for us to say. As I obetrved before this year at one of these meetings we are at peace with the world, mid we are at peace with one another—(cheers)—and I hope we shall keep ourselves at retire. (Hear, hear.) Other countries seem to be willing enough to fight ; there seems to be no indispomtioe on their part to fall out and slay one another, but I hope we awn keep out of it. I see no English interest ruixtd up in it. I trust we shall always keep out of fighting, sinless there is some honest English interest to fight for. If that is the case let us take off oar gloves and fight like men. (Cheers.) There is no use in making a noise if you don't intend to fight. The least said the soonest mended. (Load cheers.)
