THE discussion in the House of Lords on Monday night in regard to the perennial China question indicates how much the public is oc cupied with that subject, and how difficult it is to come to any satisfactory conclusion regarding it. As Earl GREY only too justly observed, we are now reaping in China the fruit of the seed which we have ourselves sown in three distinct wars, two of which at least were on our part unjustifiable, and there is every appearance that it is only the commencement of difficulties which we have reached. The Chinese are probably the moet te nacious people in the world, being at once supple and persistent. It is a very long game that we are playing with them, and one of which the ten dency and probable results can hardly be judged from isolated facts or from the position of affairs at any particular moment. Still less can the progress of our trade or the establishment of our interests be demon strated by such statistics as those in regard to the port of Shanghae which were used by Earl Emm a. in the course of his speech, and were furnished to the public a few weeks ago by Mr. H. N. LAY, the head of the Imperial Foreign Cus toms Service. It is, no doubt, true that the trade of Shanghae has expanded greatly, to all appearance, during the last seven years ; but in order to draw any trustworthy con clusion from that fact we should require to examine very closely into the nature and causes of that apparent expansion. Much of it is not an increase of either exports or imports, hut merely an increase of efficiency on the part of the Cus toms Service, so that its statistics are swollen though the actual trade be unaffected. A good deal of the Shanghae trade has been drawn away from the other open ports ; and so, though the City of the Sea may be in a flourishing con dition, the fact proves little in regard to our com merce with China in general. Agaio, it is well known that the increase of the trade of Shanghae has proceeded in great part from the failure of the silk crop in the South of Europe, which may be regarded as an accidental, and probably temporary cause ; and considerable allowance may also be made for ~he number of troops we have kept in China, and the large expeditious that have beer !ant out there in late 'years. Add to all this the important fact that after the conclusion of the Treaty of Tien-46n, and again after the Convention of Pekin was signed, the China market was glutted with articles from this country, which have proved a great loss to the sanguine exporters ; and it becomes evident that Mr. LAY'S imposing data prove nothing more than the proverbial pliability of statistics, the hardihood and Mandarin-like subtlety of the gentleman who could advance them as proving the great expansion of our trade with China. Both the Duke of SOMERSET and the noble SECRETARY for FOREION AFFAIRS appeared to ima gine that some agreement had been come to with the Taepings that they should not approach within 100 li, or 24 miles, of Shanghae, and that wo were in consequence justified in attacking them. The official documents on the subject scarcely sup port any such conclusion; for the Taeping chiefs uttered a very uncertain sound upon the subject. Moreover, the proposal made to them by Sir HARRY PARKES, on the part of Admiral HOPE, may be judged of from the following Memorandum made by Sir HARRY him self : "No Taeping force to advance within " 100liof any Chinese port or place open to Bri " tiah trade, provided that the Tartar Go feninient " do not send out expeditions from these porta or " places to attack the Taepings." It is no wonder that one noble lord thought it " would be ju " dicious not to enter into too strict an inquiry" as to which party had most fairly executed the agreement, if such it was. Imperial expeditions have all along been going out from Shanghae under Colonel WARD and others against the Taepings ; and it could not, in all reason, be expected that these latter would tamely allow such an important base of operation against them to remain undis turbed when they believed they bad it in their power to destroy it, or at least to render it useless for offensive purposes. - - It is admitted even by her MAJterv's Ministers that the course now pursued in China " must " place us in a state of hostility to the Taepings," and the obvious result of this will be to endanger the trade of Sluinghae. As the rebels avoided coming to any clear understanding in regard to that port, and have despatched the Fighting King, their best warrior, to its neighbourhood, they will not allow us to remain in undisturbed possession. It is almost certain their next step will be to establish a cordon round it, and to cut off all the trade except what may be carried on in foreign steamers. Under these circumstances we are told that the policy of her MAJZSTY'S Government is not to give to the Mandarins the whole force of the British empire for their support, but to en courage and advise them to arm a sit/Went for for themselves ; but the Govertuastat 61 Pekin is far too acute not to see that, V attain contipue to develop as they are doing at prow* we shall have to fight, and if possible put dewn the rebels, in order to preserve our trade. Whatever opinion may be formed as to the morale of the Chinese Go vernment, there is little doubt as to its cunning and ability ; and the effete aspect which it presents to European eyes in part, though not wholly, dis appears when we take into consideration the fundamental principles of the Chinese state. When the family, the village, the diitrict, or the province fails to " harmonise" itself, that is con sidered to be its own loss, and the superior autho rities, or even the central government, will never 'interfere beyond a certain point. In accordance with all Celestial state traditions, the Pekin Go vernment must now regard the Taepings and the foreigners as two antagonistic powers to be played off against each other, and used for mutual injury if not destruction. Being not much troubled with humanitarian ideas, it looks with secret but intense satisfaction on the spectacle of its two moat formidable enemies coming into collision with one another ; while it gains resting time, and has the opportunity of learning how to drill troops in Western style. This rebellion is a Frankenstein which we ourselves have created, and which without the hearty co-operation of the Im perialiata we shall find it impossible to put down, as it will disappear in one place only to turn up in another. That co-operation, we may be certain, will never be given, so long as the Chinese Go vernment regards our aid and interference as a prelude to a demand for new concessions. This is not very reassuring for the future, but it is the inevitable consequence of the past, and was clearly pointed out as such long ago. fat Court. BALMORAL, JOLT 28.

At 4 Aka on the evening of the 19th it sves announced that Garibaldi was approeftsing Marsala from Trapani. The people immediately crowded the walls and streets as on a festival day, all pas sionately eager to behold on the day of joy, as in , the day of danger, the man who is known in both hemispheres as the " Hero of Marsala." The municipality, the National Guard and its commander, went out two leagues from the town to receive and to felicitate him. Thousands of flags floated from the windows, and, in the midst of cheer ing from thousands of voices, the procession arrived at the cathedral, where the clergy awaited its entry. l After a hymn and benediction, Garibaldi was about to leave the church, when a strange scene took place. A monk ascended the pulpit, and addressed the people and the general in such striking lan guage upon his arrival in the city, that when be had concluded Garibaldi embraced him, and pronounced him to be a true priest of the goepeL He was then borne to the house at which he was to atop, in the midst of plaudits and showers of flowers. The en thusiasm had now reached a point which it was im poftible to describe. The general appeared at the balcony, and signified that he wished to speak, when there was at once profound silence. His voice was calm and solemn—the clear and powerful expres sion of the Italian idea which is incarnate in him. " The time is come," said he, " when we can no longer permit the stranger on our soil, and the slavery of a portion of our brethren. Italy can no longer abide this shame. This is a shame for twenty-five millions of men, and it must cease in a few days from this time. Yes, Rome is ours. Yea, Rome or death. (The crowd—' Rome or death !') It was from Marsala that the cry of liberty went forth. From Marsala let this cry go forth to-day; Rome or death '.' And this cry will resound not only in the Peninsula, but will find an echo through out all Europe, and wherever the name of liberty has not been profaned. We only want what be longs to us. Yee, that which belongs to us—for Rome is ours. Rome or death. (The crowd— ' Rome or death.') Yes, Rome or death !' (The crowd—' Rome or death !') This cry will weigh more in the balance of diplomacy than all the prayers in the world. We are tired of praying. No more protestations, no more prayers. Let Napoleon know, once for all, that Rome and Venice belong to us—that the brethren of Rome and Venice are our brethren. We owe gratitude to the people of France. Yes, the French people are with us. They are our brethren. Napoleon . . . . did not make war in 1859 for Italy. We have given him Nice and Savoy, and he wished for something else. Yes, I know it. He has worked to aggrandise his family. He has one prince ready for Rome, and another for Naples, and so on. I know it. . . . We do not require prayers. The people of France are with us. Let Napoleon 111. quit Rome, and Rome is ours. I am happy to-day at being with you, for I have good reason to be your friend. Adieu !" Garibaldi made a present of his portrait to Mar sala ; he also gave one to Palermo, and will present a third to Messina. AUSTRIA. FRANKFORT, Jour 28. The cabinet of Vienna, in consequence of the recognition of Italy and the refusal of Prussia to the entrance of Austria into the Zollverein, has renounced taking any part in the policy set forth in the circular of Count de Bertstorff of the 27th ult. relative to the Dauo-Gerinan Duchies. VIENNA, JULY 29. The Chamber of Deputies has decided by a large majority that it will, without delay, discuss the budget of 1863. The Bohemian and Polish frac tions declared that they would not take any part in the discussion. POLAND. The Cuts of Cracow denies the existence of any conspiracy at Warsaw. THE EASTERN QUESTION. TRIESTE, JULY 29. Several agents are going through the Voiwode, Servia, Hungary, Croatia, and Sclavonia, collecting bands of volunteers, in order to make au irruption into Bosnia.. The Servian government hail, it is said, nothing at all to do with those operations. Accounts from Belgrade state that Prince Michael enjoys the greatest popularity. He urgently de ' mends of the conference at Constantinople the de molition of the Turkish fortresses. Public opinion in the cotratny is opposed to any compromise on that point. TAE gXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 30, lealk RIPRRSiI FROM PAR & (PROM Willi OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, TURSDAT Evan) l4l. The Patrie, whose information, however, we snow by long experience must be received with dis trust, offers some addition to the laconic announce ment of the Mositeur that the representatives of the great powers have met in conference at Con stantinople. It states that, before entering upon the details of business, the English plenipotentiary declared that the main and absolute object of the cabinet of London was, above all things, the main tenance of the Ottoman empire in its integrity ; and that even the interests of the Christian sub jects of the Porte formed but a secondary consider ation. France, by the mouth of its representative, the Marquis de Moustier, expressed a diametrically opposite opinion, "at least," says the Patrie, "if we are well informed." He stated that the pro tection of Christian interests in the East was the main subject of the Emperor's pre-occnpation and legitimate solicitude. While the Aus trian minister supported, though in less absolute terms, the ideas concerning the Christians expressed by Sir Henry Bulwer, Prince Labonoff, in the name of Russia, sided with France. The representative of the Porte stated that without sacrificing in any degree the principles upon which the integrity of the Ottoman empire depends, his go veniment, both with regard to Servia and all other questions, was disposed to show the most sincere spirit of conciliation. Published despatches from Vera Cruz of July 2 confirm the news given two days ago of a summons made by Zaragoza to Lorencez to capitulate, and of subsequent engagements, in which the advantage was on the side of the French. It seems to be quite true that a small French force surprised General Ortega at Borrego while his men were asleep, and defeated them. The Mexicans are said to have loot in this affair (besides the four guns already mentioned) 120 men killed and 135 wounded. The French loss is stated at 23 men hors de combat. Captain Detrii, of the 99th Regiment, who commanded the attacking party, is reported wounded. The present accounts go on to say that on June 15 (the day after the affair at Borrego) the Mexicans, 5,000 strong, and with 20 guns, marched upon Ingenio, but were driven back with much loss by a force of 600 French, after an engagement which lasted from 3 a.m. to 10 a.m. General Zaragoza commanded in person in this second combat. From June 15 to the 24th (the date of the latest news from Orizaba) the French had not been molested by the Mexicans. It is asserted that Lorensez's communications with Vera Cruz were completely re-established. General Forey and staff are eating a farewell dinner to-day with the Maritime Prefect of Cherbourg, and will sail almost immediately on board the Turenne with 900 troops. In order to cheer up the men, the government journals have heard from Vera Cruz that the yellow fever was abating on July 2. That is a singularly fortunate circumstance, because generally the plague of that coast is at its very height at the beginning of this month. Bullier's Correspondence circulates the rumour that the Emperor, who, with the Imperial Prince, will probably be at the Chalons Camp on August 15, the Napoleon fête day, intends then and there to issue a manifesto, in which be will allude to all the great questions of the day. The definitive result of the election for the Coun cil-General of the Deua Sevres is what I confidently anticipated a week ago. Plassiart the younger— notwithstanding the zealous attempts of the prefect to visit the sins of the father upon the child, and his official declaration that the name of Plassiart was a byeword throughout Europo—was returned on the second poll by 1,863 votes against 1,512 given to Count du Hamel, the government can didate. Another independent candidate at the above election, M. Tonnet, the mayor of Ardin, whose few friends ultimately coalesced with M. Plassiart, was suspended by the prefect for presuming to come forward. In the following letter—the spirit of which is much admired—M. Tonnet tells the prefect that he will not serve under him again : Ardio, July 26. Monsieur le Prefect,— In corning forward as a eandidate for the council-general I exercised a right. You have dif ferent ideas sa to the independence of a mayor, and you have suspended me. I would have gladly refrained from any public comment upon this measure, but I am informed that some people are requesting you to give me back my scarf. I protest against this. It will not suit me to resume the functions which you have deprived me of. I have the honour to seed you my resignation. —1 anal A. TONNE?. The Memorial des Deus iiitres tauntingly cog gesta that the defeated government candidate, Count du Hamel, who is the editor of a compila tion called the Echo de la Prase, cannot do other wise than insert M. Tonnet's letter. The Bourse has been extremely firm and much more animated than is usual in the hot season. Bente rose 25c. for cash and 15c. for account, clos ing at 68fr. 95c. and 68fr. 90c. Mobilier rose Mr., and the Italian Loan 45c. In railways there was leas improvement ; Northern rose 6fr. 25c., but Orleans fell Mr. 75c. In the ocher lines there was little change. THAMES EMBANK If lENT. —This morning was issued with the parliamentary papers a return, comprising copies of all correspondence between the Treasury, the Mee of Works, and the Commissioners of Woods, Forests, and Land Revenues, relating to the Thames Embankment, and the works proposed to be carried out under the Thames Embankment Bill, together with copies of the plans ; and copies of all oorres,xindenoe between the same parties, and all other correspondence,relating to any plans for facilitating the passage of traffic, or opening better communication be tween Whitehall and Briclge.street, together with copies of such plans. The correspondence extends over 30 pages. BARRACK:VASTER/4 AND BARRACK STORM.—Thin morning a return was issued to the House of Commons of the estimated amount of public property in the charge of each of the bsrrackmsaters in England, on the 31st of March last, and the amount of security each of them has been called upon to give. The estimated value of the stone at Aldenhott is 102,7881. ; at Chatham, 27,3931. ; at Canterbury, 11,266/. ; at Colchester and Worley, 21,9421. ; at Devooport, 17,1491. ; et Dover, 15,656/. ; at Gosport, 16,1801. ; at Leeds, 12,8101. ; at Manchester, 15,1901. ; at Newport (Monmouth), 13,2471. ; at Parkhurst, 10.2911. ; at Pembroke, 10.5341. ; at Plymouth, 9,959/. ; at Portsmouth, 31,7561. ; at Prestos, 13,677/. ; at Regent's Park, 13,9681. ; at Shorncliffe, 26,0641. ; at the Tower of Loudon. 10,0721. ; at Westminster, 11,265/. ; at Windsor, 9,2171. ; and at Woolwich, 35 0621. The total estimated value of the stores at all the barracks in the country is 567,6341. 3e. The security given by the barracknosters consists of a personal bond of 3001. or 500/., and two sureties of 1501. or 2501. each ; in addition to which there is in three cases a guarantee policy for 5001., and in one a similar policy for 3001. THIL TIMILOILIMI IN FRANCZ.—It may be remem bered that a redooed and uniform tariff for telegraphic de 'patches in the interior of France came into operation on the let January lest. During the three months following that date 124.797 messages more than io the same period of 1861 were seat, being an increase of 80 per cent. ; the additional receipts for that period in 1862 were 47,4061 r., or 8 per cent. over the corresponding period of the previous year. The increase in international communication for them:lee month@ was 10.206 despatches, producing 27,669 fr. As no alters tio o the tariff for foreign despatches took place, that aug mentation must be attributed to the continued development th relations of France with foreign nations. MEXICO. MADRID, JULY 29. Accounts from Teneriffe state that a French frigate and another steamer arrived there on the 22nd, on their way to Mexico, having 2,800 men on board. (ZZOTY.eB TILZGRAN. ) PARIS, JuLY 30. The Moniteur of this morning publishes de spatches from Vera Cruz, dated let inst. - The health of the naval force on the Mexican station was generally satisfactory. The hospital transport Amazon contained only 12patients suffer ing from yellow fever. Unfortunately, M. Rideau, the principal medical officer, and Burgeon Gay mard were dead, having fallen victims to their de votion. The aviso Marceau had captured a Mexican corvette. Despatches from General Lorencez to the 24th ult., from Orizaba, give detailed accounts of the fights of the 13th and 14th. Great heroism was displayed by two companies of the 99th of the line, who beat and dispersed the corps of General Ortega, inflicting upon him a loss of 250 men, and taking 3 mountain howitzers, a flag, 3 guns, and 200 prisoners. The result of the combat was the withdrawal of the Mexican army from before Orizaba. The health of the force was excellent. The Moniteur also contains a notice of the bravery displayed by the French troops in China. Sourwaxrrow, Jinx 90.—The American war vessel Tuscarora sailed daring the night. The Bavaria, which sails to-day, takes out 400 passengers and 71,5001 r. worth of French jewellery. Advices from Vienna announce the betrothal at Zurich of the Archduke Charles Louis with the Princess Maria Anouncisda of the Two &silks, sister of Francis 11.

The attendance bad also increased, but in much greater proportion, and the visitors continued pouring in down to a very late hour. A company of the 60th Rifles came up from Aldershott, the first instalment, we believe, from the camp, sent by Captain Carleton, and all expenses paid by that officer. A detachment of the sth Lancers were sent in by their colonel, Lieutenant- General Chatterton, and amongst the general crowd were 550 provincials, from Cuckfield, Sussex, franked by local subscription. The vicar of the parish and a highly respectable local deputation accompanied and took care of the visitors. They had their band, a juvenile one, and their badge—an oak leaf in each bat—and went through the building with great delibera tion, order, and solemnity. Amongst the schools were : Christ Church, Bloomsbury, 40, sent by the Rev. G. Hamilton ; Emanuel Hospital, West minster, 70, franked by Mr. Harry Emanuel ; the ColebrookNational, 91, Rev. C. D.

The design and execution had been much admired ; the subject, "Scenes from Ivanhoe," being generally understood, attracted a great many persons to the We have more than once taken occasion to no tice the attractiveness of the Process Court, with its die sinking, pipe-making, velvet weaving, and sewing by machinery. We have now to ascend into a more mysterious region, and to call attention I,a the process by which that eminent magician, Mr. Cromer, jun., explains and makes easy to a wondering public the whole of his black and fear-inspiring art. Awful secrets of the conjurer's art, such as the "Inexhaustible bottle," are here revealed in the most reckless manner, and the delight of the juveniles is so much excited by this and the large collection of out-door games and amusements which Mr. Cremer exhibits, that a little gentle assistance from the police is sometimes required to preserve "the circulation." Toys are not perhaps the most im portant objects of the Kensington exhibits, but they have their uses, and not unimportant ones, be cause they make the young people happy. When, as in Mr. Cremees case, they are made with great care, taste, and fitness for the object in view, there is no reason why they should not have their page in the Exhibition chronicle, as well as the toys which the jewel court offers to the children of • larger growth.

For many years peat there has existed an institu tion for the education and maintenance of the orphan children of seamen engaged in the mercantile marine, and it has been well and adequately supported. Still, owing to the growth of our mercantile marine, the asylum hitherto existent in the Bow-reed, near Stratford, has been found too small to meet the requirements of the charity, and so it became necessary for the governors to erect a new and more commodious building. They accordingly made special efforts to remedy the difficulty under which they laboured, and by dint of perseverance, dictated by philanthropy, succeeded in obtaining • fund sufficient to enable them to erect a new building, which they fixed in the salubrious locality of Snaresbrook, in Epping Forest, and yesterday it was in due form opened by Earl Russell, K.G., who has been at all times • firm and manificen supporter of the charity. This new building is • handsome specimen of that somewhat hybrid style of architecture which is now technically known as " North Italian-Gothic," and has been constructed from the designs of Mr. G. B. Clarke. After Earl Russell had been received at the entrance to the building by the vice-prasicienta, trustees. treasurer, committee, architect, contractor, and calms of the institution, he was conducted to the reception room, where he recorded his name as the first visitor. The guests were then introduced by Mr. Richard Green, the shipowner, and an address was read stating the objects of the society, to which his lordship made • brief but appropriate reply. The company afterwards sat down to a dtjeil err, at which Earl Russell presided, supported by many of the most emi nent shipowners of England. In proposing the tout of the evening, " Success to the Merchant Seamen's Orphan Asylum," Earl Russell, after expressing his regret at the unavoidable absence of Lords Palmerston and Mattes , bury, stated the pleasure he felt at seeing so m•iy chit. dren well cared for, and his hope that their number would soon be largely increased. It had been said, in • Latie phrase, which in the presence of so many ladies who graced the board, he would forbear to quote, that the greatest reverence was dee to boys. He would add, "and to girls also." Of whatever class in life their parents might be, it was most desirable—it was moat needful—that the little children should be tenderly cared for. Whilst in every occupation men must feel that their success depended , upon providential favour, there were some instanoce in which this feeling must be unusually deep. The husbandman at harvest-time felt how his fortunes and the fortunes of his country depended upon the skies of the next few days; but above all must the seaman feel that with Providence it rested whether he should reach the port in safely, or be overwhelmed in the depths of the see. At one time exposed to the tornado sad the hurricane of tropical climes—at another compelled to go aloft in the vain endeavour to furl sails in • Baltic storm, with fingers frozen by the cold of that region—the seaman should at least have the consolation of knowing that, in case of his death, hi widow and his children would be at any rate de livered from the fear of want, and from the necessity of applying for • pauper's mite in the workhouse. After urging upon all shipowners present the duty, not only of support ing that asylum, but also of sending their ships to sea well found and in good condition, his lordship concluded by ex pressing in a few earnest words his conviction that it was to the navy, and so its constant recruiting ground, the mercan tile service, that we must look to maintain that power which many envy, that freedom which many abominate, and that national independence which was one of the anchors to which the interest of the whole world was barely moored. It had not been intended to make a collection. but hand some donations were spootaneously offered, and • large sum was realised for the benefit of the charity. THE MURDER OF MR. FITZGERALD.
