LONDON, TUESDAY, AUGUST 18. CHINESE AFFAIRS. THE state of matters during the last few years in China has not been of that exciting kind which calla for frequent comment, but it has been full of interest to those who take any special notice of the concerns of a great country which, we are constantly reminded, contains at least a third of the human race. A short time ago that empire was in such a state of disorder that almost every mail brought home accounts of stirring events, and people in this country were on the qui rice as to whether its peculiar institu tions and its ruling dynasty could survive the shock of the destroying forces to which, for nearly a quarter of a century, they had been ex posed. Now, however, there seems no doubt that affairs have settled down pretty quietly in the Flowery Land, and that it has entered on a period of comparative order and prosperity. The Taiping Rebellion was the great issue on which the future of China depended. Very soon after the demands of England and France were granted in 1860 it became apparent that the Celes tials were both able and willing to accommodate themselves to the foreign influences and relation ships which were forced upon them, and any doubt on this subject was set at rest by the result of the Prince of RUNG'S coup delta.. in 1861. It still remained a question whether the Imperial Government would be able effectually to repress the formidable re bellions which cruelly devastated the country ; and it is probable that had they received no obbietence from foreigners they might have been unable to do so. But the training of Imperial troops by French and English officers, and more especially the assistance given to the Government by Colonel GORDON, together with the rise to high positions of the very able, purely Chinese (not Tartar) mandarins, TSENG ICWO-FAN and Li BUNG-CHANG, led in 1814 to the fall of Nanking, the Taiping capital, and, in the follow ing year, to the complete suppression, even to its last vestige, of the rebellion which had devas tated sixteen provinces, each almost as populous as Great Britain, and destroyed six hundred cities, not a few of which contained as many souls as Manchester and Glasgow. After this there still remained other rebels about whom a good deal of noise was made, and especially the Nienfei, th e . . oregin of whose rebellion lay in the distress caused in some of the North-eastern provinces from the Yellowßivcrbeing allowed to overflow its embank meats. No one who really knew China ever sup posed that the Nienfei represented a political movement or that they placed the Celestial state in actual danger; but their depredations gave much trouble and caused immense misery, so it is satisfactory to know that they have been, at least for the present, completely suppressed. The operations against them were committed need) two y NIPS ago to the hands of Li II i•Nu- Ariti. who had previously acted so suovriaftilly against the Taipings in the province of Kiangroo ; and in the beginning of this year ho contrn•ed to hem them tip in the north-ewit corner of the• province of Shantung and destroyed them altogether. Unquestionably during his operations against these marauders much was done from which humanity Night to shrink, and which is revolting, judged by the ideas of European civilisation ; but as a choice between two evils, and in a country so thickly populated as China, his success may be regarded as fortunate. There still remain active, or at least unsuppressed, the Mohammedan rebels of the north-west ; but as the question between them and the Imperial Government is mainly one of frontier ; they are not to be regarded as affect ing the condition of the great masses of the Chinese Empire. On the whole, it may be said that China is at present in comparative enjoy ment of the blessings of peace and prosperity. This improved state of matters, however, has not been followed, and does not promise to be followed, by any extraordinary increase of our trade with the far Bast. That trade has gone on steadily exPeading, but gradually ; and •as itr has not done so to such an extent as to satisfy the eager ev- .1* expectations and the calculations of the foreign merchants on the coast of China, they have for some years suffered considerable losses. Indeed, it is questionable whether any expansions of trade whatever could have brought them anything but loss on the whole ; and though this year pro mised to be more fortunate for them, yet we ob serve that the English merchants had already begun, in the eagerness of competition, to pur chase teas at Ilankow at prices which pro mise to be anything but remunerative. And it does not follow that the restoration of internal order will greatly increase our trade with China. Such a state of matters is on the whole much more favourable to commerce than a state of disorder can be: but the latter, (though it be the destruction of the bird which lays the golden eggs). presents more opportunities for making un expected fortunes. In this quiet state of affairs which the Chinese have fortunately arrived at after so many years of turmoil, the only subject of pressing im portance which they have now to deal with is the revision of the articles of Tientsin. When these documents were agreed to in 1858 it was arranged that they were to be revised after ten years of their working had been experienced, so now we have our merchants on the one side and the Chinese Government on the other, through its representative, Mr. BURLINOIIAME, putting for ward their respective views as to what the lessons of the last ten years have been. Judging from the memorials of the Chambers of Commerce in China, the foreign merchants have no very serious fault to find with the treaty of Tientsin, or with its working, but they think it has not been pro perly carried out, and especially desire an improvement in their position as regards the right of residence and travel in the in terior of the country, which they say was granted them by the treaty, but has prac tically been unavailable. Their chief complaint relates to the levying of illegal transit dues on foreign commerce as it is passing into, or out of, the interior. The Chinese, again, have shown themselves fully alive to the importance of the crisis by appointing Mr. ANsON BURLINGUAME, who was formerly the United States' Minister at Peking, to be their representative at this junc ture to the Treaty Powers. Judging from the speeches of that gentleman in America, the posi tion he takes up is that treaties are not re quired between the Chinese and the Occidental Powers. He says that the Chinese have unre servedly entered the comity of nations ; their country is quite open to foreigners for trade, or for any other purpose, and treaties only do mischief, being an encouragement to turbulent foreigners to put forward claims which no inde pendent people can tolerate. This view, we ap prehend, goes a little beyond the facts of our relationship with China. If all existing treaties were abrogated it is at least doubtful whe ther China would long continue open to merchants from the West, and we are hardly prepared as yet to submit them to the jurisdiction of Chinese courts of justice—a result which would necessarily follow the abrogation of all existing treaties. Still it is interesting to notice the new position assumed by the Celestials, and their claim to stand on the footing of other civilised nations. Even the appointment of a Minister to represent China to the Treaty Powers is in itself a step in the right direction, and one which can hardly fail to have ninny important consequences. TEE - CONSTITUTIONALISTS" AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE'. THE LION and Unicorn party are not successful in their public demonstrations. A public meeting which has been in course of organisation for weeks, and in aid of which the fares and prices of admission to the most popular place of enter tainment near London have been largely reduced, can hardly be called a success if it only increases the ordinary number of sight-seers by a couple of thousands. The Crystal Palace directors are wise in their generation, and display perfect catholicity of taste and sympathies in their dealings with the public. The most ven turesome acrobat, the latest hero, the singer of the day, and the electioneering tactics of the hour, are all welcomed in their turn. It is a little remarkable, however, that with railway fare and admission-money reduced to one shilling there was no more marked increase in the numbers present yesterday and those of the preceding Monday. Exactly 2,238 more people were at the Palace yesterday than on the corresponding day last week, and the nett result of their proceedings is that the public learnt this morning that Mr.NEwnenare andthe Duke of PORTLAND— the one by his presence and the other by his purse —were the only representative men whom the at tractions of the demonstration drew from their homes. The gentleman, who after expressing his dislike for strong language, compared Mr. GLAD sToNE to Judas Iscariot was not much more inconsistent or indecent than some of the other speakers. Lord PITZWALTER wandered into weak diatribes against Ritualism; Mr. HABDINGE GIFFARD presumed to speak of the Coronation Oath as binding her MAJESTY " by the " most solemn ties that could bind men to Heaven," and fervently called upon his hearers " to " fight for the faith once delivered to " the saints;" a Dr. Cowart spoke conci liatingly of the faith of the majority of the Irish people as " the spawn of hell ;" the repre sentative of the Orange lodges of Ireland asked mildly and constitutionally if " the " standing armies of Great Britain would be " allowed to act as the mere tools of an arbitrary " majority"—whatever that may mean ; the Bishop of PERTH testified, on the strength we suppose, of his episcopal experiences in North Britain, that voluntaryism did not reach " the very poor" ; and Mr. NS:census/2 naturally PLLW in the Liberal lesder's polio , a brief dray. n by. Dr. MANNINO. Btich were the args milts put forth by theme bulwarks of the Consti- Mien and buttresses of the. Church; such the demon.strations towards which the Dtdce of PORT LAND- unctuously described to the meeting as one of the princes of the laud -has in a moment of enthusiasm given 2,000/. OUR, CONTEMPORAIUM. (rats DAY.) IHE PROTEETANT I,IOIOt.ETHA tION. .-- • The Times says that after all exeiners are taken into account, the success of the Crystal Palace deorm stiatiini in support of " the throne, the church, and the constitution," has been so negative that it will probably not he repeated. Without imputing to Lord Pitzwalter any C0118601.011C88 that he was acting a part ins show which was not meant to produce any result, it is im possible not to avoid the conclusion that the secret manager who organised and got up the meeting were perfectly aware that it was to be nothing more than a Bash in the pan. The Poe says of this demonstration that from beginning to end the whole proceedings amounted to nothing more than a terrific shaking of the red flag which has already more than once frightened John Bull out of his propriety. The Act of Settlement, the Bill of Rights, the British Constitution, and our wives and daughters, were all knocked over like so many ninepins, and at the end of the affair the Popo of Rome was the only creature left stand ing in the field engaged in organising a ritualistic Tr Drum to celebrate the forcible conversion of Mr. Whalley, the burning alive of Lord Pitswalter, and the final ex tinction of protestantism. The SW thinks the pitiful failure of yesterday is an indication that the people are well able to distinguish be tween the cries of the period'andthe true interests of those institutions which are asserted to be in danger. THE LATEST LOILLBIAX OUTRAGE IN The Deily Fetrs says of the recent outrage at Tip perary that it is no new secret organisatiln which has inspired this act of bold defiance of the law—it is simply the old open feud of Irish society. It merely shows that the same evils still exist, and that so long as the present relations between Irish landlords and Irish tenants remain unchanged, so long will agrarian murders con tinue to redden the soil of Ireland. The real explanation of this outrage is that the law came armed, and the people armed to meet it. They looked upon their arms as assumed in self defence, and fired at the officers of the law as invaders of home. Theirs was the blindness and unscrupulousness of passion, which was ready to resort to any violence, and which did actually resort to murder to resist what they felt to be a legal injustice and a social wrong. While expressing profound sympathy with the officers of the law slain in the reluctant execution of a most unpleasant duty, the Daily News still thinks that this deplorable re sult might have been avoided by • little tender respect for the prejudices, and consideration for the feelings of these ignorant and misguided peasants. FOREIGN NEWS. (THIS DAY.► THE NEW INDIAN VICEROY. The Telegraph regrets to see that the controversy about the Earl of Mayo's " impending appointment to the Vice. royalty of India" takes a bitter partisan tone ; and that the dispute between Whig and tory journalists goes on without much chance of the Telegraph arriving at anything like a judicial decision. It contends that if his lordship do not make the best possible viceroy, it is unfair to assume that he will be the very worst; and that as the tones have the nomination, the responsibility of the choice must be left with Mr. Disraeli. THE NEW FRENCH WAN. l'he Doily NI u.A regards this loan simply in the light of a large speculative transaction. The great credit esta blishments have operated largely, and have employed their resources very freely. As to the success which has attended the loan, the probability is that the vote of the Corps Legislatif reimbursing a considerable portion of the obligations incurred by the Mexican loan, stimulated rather than restrained the speculative investor. It is, however, not to be wondered at that, at a time of extreme commercial depression and finan cial collapse, of uneasiness and uncertainty, people who have learnt to put little faith in companies, and to associate high interest with bad security should prefer to lend their savings to the state, that is or ought to be under a government founded on universal suffrage, to them. selves. But to argu?from the success of the new loan to public confidence in the government which has issued it, one must forget that the money is to be spent on ag gressive armaments, and that the lives and properties of the lenders are at the mercy of the borrower's caprice. It is reported that Lord Erne is to have the ribbon of St. Patrick vacant by the decease of the Marquis of Downehire. His Grace the Duke of Portland has given 2,0001. to the National Protestant Union, in token of his approval of the action of its committee on the Irish church question. The Rev. J. C. M. Bellew preached his farewell sermon on Sunday morning at Bedford Chapel, St. (leorge's, Bloomsbury, to the incumbency of which the Rev. H. Christopherson has been appointed. - - THE IRIMI CHURCH COMMISSION.—We (Record) are informed that there is no probability of a speedy de livery of the report of the Irish Church Commissioners. It will probably be delayed until the meeting of the new parliament, or at all events till the elections are over. We think this is bad policy. THE CHURCH CONGRESS OF 1868.—The execu tive committee of the proposed congress of the present year, which will be held at Dublin, have issued the pro gramme of proceedings se finally amended. On Tuesday, 29th of tember, at 10 a.m., there will be morning prayer in St. trick's Cathedral, with a sermon by the Very Rev. Dr. Magee, Dean of Cork.

Charles Rice, on the following subjects :—Our re ligious societies ; how their economical and efficient work ing may best be promoted. Hindrances at home and abroad to the progress of missions, and how these may be overcome. Relative functions of Church and State in national education. On Wednesday, September 30, papen will be read by the Dean of Cashel, the Rev. Alexander Irwin, the Rev. F. W. Farrar, and the Rev.

Captain Grosvenor, M.P. for Westminster, is published by a con temporary, being dated Moor Park, Rickmanrworth, August 16, and addressed to Mr. H. Armistead, Ron. Secretary of the association mentioned:—" Some days ago I received a letter from the St. Ann's Electoral Associa tion, Westminster, having reference to a point of law whereby the lodger in certain caass becomes answerable through his pio o siy for the debts of his landlord. I answered that letter, but, from your second, I conclude that mine has not come to hand. With regard to the point upon which you ask my opinion, I have to my that lam not at all surp ri sed tha t the lodgers of St. Ann's or any other pariah should complain of a state of law which =them to evident hardship and injustice, and that cordially join them in their aorta for ita alteration. I may my that I - think this moment very happily chosen for the ventilation of a subject in which lodgers are dally interested, intereeted, because it must open their eyes to the fact that they will be unariee, as well as unpatriotic, if, as the coming election, they neglect to avail them selves to the fullest extent of those political privileges which the zed and , perseverance of others have placed within their grasp.' FUNERAL OF MR. J. D. Coos.—The remain. of the later Mr. J. D. Cook, of The Albany, London, editor of the &turdsy Review, were interred in the burial ground to the Parish church of Tintagel, on the north coast of Cornwall, on Saturday. The Rev. R. B. Kinsman, vicar, officiated. The body arrived at the Launceston railway station by the 10 o'clock train, ac. oompanied by the relatives and some friends of the de ceased, and was conveyed in • hearse to Tintagel, about 18 miles didant, followed by the friends in a mourning coach. The funeral was very largely attended, person, of an gra de D oming =moo to toddy to the worth of the departed.

THE }TENCH DEMANIM. M. E. Girardin, in this day's LitkPrl4%, puts for ward the ultimatum of France in the following demands: Wo demand that the work of 1829 should be resumed, and that negotiations should be opened with Prussia on this basis:—Prussia to be allowed to incorporate the whole of the Saxon territory, as she has incorporated Hanover, under the condition that she will concur in and actively promote the formation of a Franco-German state, comprehending Belgium, Rhenish Holland, Rhenish Prussia, Rhenish Hesse, and Rhenish Bavaria, to be ruled over by the King of Saxony, under the title of " King of the Rhine country." or some such name. Again, France would have no objection that, instead of one kingdom of about 10,000,000 of people, there should be two—leaving the King of the Belgians as he is at present with his 4,940,000 subjects, and creating a new kingdom of the Rhine lands with 4,534,000 inhabi tants. In case Prussia should refuse to accede to this pacific arrangement, we demand that France should no longer hesitate in pushing the line of her actual frontier to that of her natural frontier. We demand, in a word. what we last year called "our share of the river." THE NATIONAL. GUARDS. The fifonitetsr Publishes the - following note, :ol drcssed by the Emperor to General Mellinet : My di ar General,-1 beg of you to express to the Na tional Guards the pleasure I have had in seeing them march past at yesterday's review.

On this the Avenir National remarks : Since the National Guards are animated with good spirit is the time arrived for restoring to them the right of electing their own officers 'r Acts area better proof of confidence than words, and after the above letter we cannot underitand why there should be any further delay in restoring a right without which there eau 1),! no National Guard.

PARLS, Auovsr The Moniteur of this morning publishes another list of persons decorated with the Order of the Legion of Honour on the occasion of the fete of Napoleon. Amongst those who have received this distinction are M. Livio, the French consul at Dublin, who is named an officer, and M. Boor dillon, the Vice-Consul of France at NVW Yolk, who is appointed Knight of the Order. The result of the election for the department of the Jura is that M. Grevy. the oppo sition candidate, has received 22,.124 votes against 10,290 votes polled by his rival, Mons. Huot. The votes of two very small communes have not yet been collected, but the return of M. Gravy is certain. BELGIUM.

(Per City of London r%a Queenstown.) KEW YORK, Ammar 8, Noos. Governor Warmouth, in his appeal for the aid of the national troops to suppress lawlessness in Louisiana, states that armed bands of desperadoel are murdering, plundering, and persecuting the unionists in several parishes, having committed 150 murders within two months, and are further more organising to drive the union men from the state. A democratic member of the Louisiana legisla ture has introduced a resolution declaring Gover nor Warmouth's statements false, and calling upon him to furnish proofs of their accuracy. Two democrats have been ousted from the Louisiana Legislature on the score of ineligibility, and republicans have been admitted to their seat,. The House of Representatives of the Alabama Legislature has passed the Bill previously carried through the Senate, for removing all the political disabilities of citizens in that State with out enforcing the test oath. The democratic majority in Kentucky at the late election is reported to have been over 83,000. Cattle plague has appeared in the Western States, and is spreading rapidly. Intelligence from Nova Scotia states that the House of Assembly is holding an anti-union MUCUS.

(PIOK 01711 OWN 00211311PONDINT.) PARIS, MONDAY Evierpra. The only war rumour of any interest to-day is one given by the Prase, which says that at the recent interview at Schwalbach between the Czar and the Ring of Prussia, the Emperor Alex ander undertook to give the signal for a rupture with France by proposing a general disarmament, a reconstitution of the Ottoman empire, and a con siderable aggrandisement of Greece. I hear it said this evening that at the last minis terial council the question of an immediate general election was brought upon the tapia, and that the majority of the ministers were in favour of it, but M. Pinard said if it were resolved upon he should be obliged to resign, because when he issued writs for the isolated elections in the Gard and the Jura he had told the Prefects there would be no general election till next year. The Saturday's number of the Laeterue, pub lished; in Brussels, is not admitted into France. M. Rochefort continues to be unable to find a printer in Paris. But it is said he will take ad vantage of a clause in the new press law, hire a printing press on his own account, and defy the government in the double character of author and printer. Should he carry out this resolution, it is probable that the new number will be seized be fore many copies can be sold. The famous Judge Delesvaux has been removed in rotation to the presidency of another court, where he will enjoy an obscurity which must, I should think, be grateful to him, - - ‘vithoot 1., hi .

THE Pays, whose most active rtgdaeleur, M. PAUL DE CABBAONAC, a young man of 28, has just been decorated, on the special nomination of the Emperor, says the unparalleled success of the loan is • warning for the foreign enemies of France, who now knew that she has 1,200,000 men in arms ready to take the field, and can get as many milliards as she likes (milliards d diseretion). This is another ver sion of the text which the late M.FOULD.aa he told the EMPEROR, in a celebrated letter, thought it so dangerous to act upon, " The resources of " France are inexhaustible." An analysis of the figures of which M.Msorrx's fi fteen milliards are comprised shows that thoj are even more fantastic than on the first blush everybody of common sense must have felt them to be. During the first seven days of the subscription not more than throe milliards of this famous sum were written for. The remaining twelve milliards were all sub scribed (fictitiously) on the last day by Paris bankers who, knowing the state of the subscription, scraped together all the ready money they oould and deposited it as a guarantee for demands for enormous slims of the loan, well knowing all the time that they would only get about 21 per cent. of the amount they asked for. They also knew that they would not lose the interest of their surplus deposits for more than three or four days at the utmost, and indeed the Moniteur announces that the process of repayment began on the 14th, the very day after these large deposits were made. The bankers who thus played into M. MserrE's hands will in many cases get 2148 per cent. for their money. There never was a greater fallacy than the assertion that this is a poor man's loan, i.e., that the greater part of it has got into the hands of small investors who, glad to buy rente a little below the market price, mean to keep it. M. MAO E, of course, would have wished this ; but if he expected it, the result must have woefully disappointed him. The Prophecy which some government papers ven tured upon a week ago, that the whole loan would be made up by Mr. subscriptions, has been terribly falsified. These subscriptions in Paris and the provinces amounted but to 3,141,170 fr. of rente, or about one-sixth of the whole loan ; and it is notorious that the greater part of this is in the hands of specula tors who paid small wage's to pampers to go and subscribe, and that the only object was to sell at a profit. The allotments of 100 fr. rente, which are discountable, and may be thrown upon the market at once, will be very ex tensive, because all but very large demands must be cut down below that amount. Ilona fide investors who wanted to place such a sum as, say 10,000 fr., and would have asked for 430 fr. rente, must be cut down just in the same proportion as the gamblers, and will not get more than lofr. It is quite certain, therefore, that contrary to M. HAM M'S programme the loan is not " classed." By far the greater portion of it is in the hands of specu lators, who will watch their opportunity to foist it off upon the public. The farce is so transparent that many express the opinion that this will be the last loan by public subscription, and that in future the old system of adjudication to the highest bidder must be resorted to. HOTEL CH.4ROES. PROTESTS against the extortions of the British hotel keeper remind one of the old sore described by Mr. TENNYSON as breaking out from age to age 'twixt those who want and those who have. They have cropped to the surface again this summer, just as they have done at irregular intervals throughout the longest period within the memory of the newspaper reader. There is wonderful uni formity in the complaints. CANNING'S fault of the Dutch Ia giving too little and asking too much is unconsciously paraphrased by every tourist who inveighs against the shortcomings of the British landlord. When will these learn wisdom, and by catering for the tourist as if he were a customer and not a victim, make the best parts of the three kingdoms as popular as they deserve to be That their own country is the dearest in Europe to travel in is one of the preponderating causes which send English families abroad summer after summer. As long as it is cheaper to spend a month at Geneva or Lucerne, than at the Trossachs or by the Caledonian Canal, it will be idle to talk of the merits of native scenery, or to hold up home travel as a patriotic duty, Scotland is to tourists what locusts are to honey ; and though neither England nor Ireland is equally piratical, there is no place in either where the comforts and luxuries of life are not fixed at prices which are prohibitive to thousands who can indulge in them habitually amid the choicest @caner) , of the Continent. Where our hotels try the table d' hike system, it is notorious that the " leaving of " hungry," prescribed by doctors as the condition of a healthy meal, is a penalty froth which there is no escape. Where the hapless visitor eats in private, he is charged famine prices for common place fare. Ten shillings and sixpence is still the common cost of a bottle of champagne; claret is still charged for as if it were something exceptional and little known ; while port and sherry maintain their position as fiery compounds to be paid for ex orbitantly for " the good of the house." But the worst nuisance of all is the existing system of servants' fees. The traveller is called upon to pay these twice. The ls. 6d. or 2s. a day charged in the bill simply confers upon him the privilege of being personally solicited by theboots, waiters, and chambermaids. It is the honorarium for the landlord and nothing more. The man who thinks of it as what it purports to be, and that ho has paid enough for having been treated with ostenta tious indifference during his stay, is made to feel his meanness, and, if nervous or sensitive, drives off with a loss of self-respect which many shillings would not cover. In short, to stay at a British hotel is to be exposed to a constant sense of injury; and until this is remedied the prudent tourist will seek his ease and recreation beyond the seas. A report that a fire had broken out at an early hour this morning at Buckingham Palace caused a num ber of engines belonging to the Metropolitan Brigade to proceed thither, only to discover, however, that the report was groundless.
