A SPECIAL EDITION ef the "EXPRESS," seutaialag the results et the day's Reese, is pub lished every evening daring the Sporting Simon, et to o'clock. THE Government of the East India Company has ripened into history. The affairs of ear great Anglo-Indian Empire are now administered in the name of the Crown. The Company has no territories, has no subjects, has no servants. It exists only for the management of stock and the payment of divi dends. In place of a great fact we haves great expe riment. GOD grant that it may be a suoceedul one. Believing that the great change which is now at maturity on this 2nd day of September, 1858, would be beneficial neither to India nor to England, we vigorously resisted it from the first. We did not contend that the ma chinery of Indian Government was not suscep tible of some improvement. The progress of Time and Circumstance, which had already rendered that Government, like all other Governments in free countries, a Government of change, must necessarily in their further development have suggested some further changes. A little more consolidation and simplification may have been demanded ; but the incumbrances and excrescences which complicated and delayed the despatch of business, might bare been removed without cutting into the very heart of the system. Instead of improving the exist ing Government of India, Parliament really determined, without consideration and without in qairy, to destroy it ; and having once committed itself to this resolution, it floundered on until the work was done. No measure of equal magnitude has ever, we will venture to say, been hurried through the two Houses of Parliament with so little thought and so little knowledge of the subject. To those who watched, with intelligent interest, the progress of legislation during the latter part of the Session, it was astounding to observe how frequently grave questions were misunderstood, important points mimed, and vital principles altogether ob scured. But in spite of Ministerial and Parliamentary ignorance, an Act for the future Government of India this day becomes the law of the land, with fewer inherent defects in it than we ever dared to expect. It is probable that we owe the moat beneficial parts of the Act to the very haste and the very indifference which, in the abstract, are to be so much deplored and condemned. A jaded Parliament, a burning summer, and a poisonous river, saw accidents in them selves not very favourable to wise legislation; but, somehow or other, we feel that they have done more for us than anything to which reason and experi ence would have induced us to look for favourable results. lime pressed, the Thames threatened, members were alarmed. The work was to be done; the Bill was to be passed. It was necessary in this strait to seek the assistance of some me knowing something about the m►tter. In a happy hour the East India Company itself went to the rescue—and truthful history will record that the Bill, which was finally passed at the end of the session, was not Lord PALMERSTON'S Bill—nor Lord ELLENBOROOGII'S Bill—nor Lord STANLEY'S Bill ; bet the Bill oldie East India Company. It has been loudly and rancorously objected to the system under which the affairs of our Anglo- Indian Empire are now for the first time administered, that it is too much like the old " double government " of the Court of Directors and the Board of Control. It is said, with different expressions of contumely, that we have sot only the same system, bat nearly the same um to carry it into operation. So much the better. Eleven members of the old Court of Directors have been elected or nominated to the new Council of India. They are experienced men; they ars independent men ; we have every reason to believe that they are honest men. If to some eonsiderable portion of them the old traditions of the East India Com pany still cling, so much, we repent, the better; for foremost among those traditions ever was that which declared that the Court of Directors was " not a political body." The adjective has many meanings : but here it was understood to mean that the Court of Directors had never been subject to Parliamentary or party influence,. The is a tra dition worthy of eternal preservation by the Coun cil. It is the richest legacy which the defooct Government of the East India Company has flans milled to the infant Council. If in that Council there had been a majority of new men, would that tradition be perpetuated ? Weald other traditions, a respect for which enabled the Company so long to exercise dominion in India, be perpetuated under a new system worked out by new men If there had been a clean sweep of Leadenhall-street, what would have become of our Indian Empire ? It is because there is so much of the old system, and no many of the old men,in the new Crown Government of India, that we arc not without hope of its anomie. As it is, there must nec,ssarily be a transition-period, lIIIMEm. THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 2, 1858. surrounded by all kinds of embarrassments and in conveniences. But, if the change of system had been more abrupt, and the change of agency more complete, we shudder to think of the chaotic mass of confusion which would have signalised the first days of Her Manten's direct government of her Indian Empire. The very objection so fre quently urged against the new Government— namely, that it is so much like the old—is, we re peat, our solace and our safeguard. A new system and a new set of men must have broken down under the deed weight of ignorance and incompetence. But now we believe that, in the course of a few weeks, the old Compan)'s men will lick the new system into something like shape, and set it fairly on its legs. It will then go on smoothly enough until the re-assembling of Parliament There is nothing indeed but Parliament to prevent it from going on smoothly. There is • world of frightful signifi cance, however, in that qualifying monosyllable. Our language is not that of idle conjecture or vague prophecy. Already we know that by more than one influential party in the two Houses the plan of attack, both upon the measure and the Minister, is now being considered—nay, is well-nigh instinct The new Government of India is that of the " &ere " tary of State for India in Council." It is composed, therefore, of materials partly evanescent and partly permanent. The Secretary of State,whilat Parliament is sitting, may be here to-day and gone to-morrow— he may be snuffed out in a night. Our trust, there fore, is in the Council, which is independent of Par liamentary whippers-in. Let the Council, then, be true to itself. We do not disguise that it has a diffi cult part to play. The relations of the Secretary of State to the Council will be very different from those of the President of the Beard of Control to the Court of Directors. Resistance to the Minister will be more difficult and more emberreaeing. But in almost every ow of such resistance, it will not really be the Minister but Parliament that is to be re listed ; and one of the shier duties and the chief uses of the Council is the resistance of Parliamentary encroachments. The interest of the Council lies in the same direction es its duty. As soon as it follows the Minister's lead of concession, it infallibly signs its death-warrant. The perma nence of the Council is involved in its independence; and we scarcely exaggerate when we say that on the permanence of the Council depends the permanence of our Indian Empire. " How to amend the Dino " tion," wrote Sir Jour; MALCOLM, " and to give " it a better character for its altered duties, with " out weakening that mound which stands be " tween India and the corrupt r.tronage of Eng " land, Ido not know. . . . Bat I may ex " press my opinion (and it is that of a man " who has received nothing but favours from the " Throne and neglect from the India-House) that if ever there shall cease to be an intermediate body " between the Crown and India of sufficient strength " to shield the latter from encroachment, we shall " soon cease to have any trouble in governing this " vast empire." Let then, we say, the new Council of India be true to itself. If it shrink from resisting Parliamentsry encroachment, it will soon be swept into the Limbo of Vanities, as a costly and unprofit able sham. Crbe Court.

PARIS, WZDNISDAT EVENING. The Emperor and Empress left St. Cloud between six and seven o'clock this mottling for Biarritz. Their Majesties took the railway round Paris, which puma by one of the park gates of St. Cloud, and proceeded to the Orleans station, where they were received by the chairman of the company, Baron Paid de Richemont, who was to accompany them to Bordeaux. Sixty horses and thirty-four carriagee have been seat on for their Majesties' use. lam not able to say whether the Prince Imperial is of the party. The Pays says that he has accompanied his parents, while the Petrie announces that he re mains at St. Cloud. So far authority is equally balanced. But Galignani says :—" The intention of the august travellers is, should the young prince not be too fatigued, to proceed on without any break in their journey, and to arrive at Biarritz at about ten o'clock at night." I incline to think, however, that the interesting child remains with his nurses at St. Cloud. It is stated that the Emperor has ordered his aide-de-camp, General Niel, to prepare a report on the military situation of France. There is a want of precision in this announcement which will doubt less be remedied shortly, supposing the news to be true. The Council-General of the Herault, taking notice of the accredited rumour that Prince Napoleon will !shortly pay a visit to Algeria, uses the privilege of expressing a wish which the constitution allows, by recording a hope that his imperial highness will stop on his way at Cette, the " true entrepOt of the products of France destined for Algeria." The Pays is moved, no doubt by irresistible pressure, to deprecate the cry of the Patric for more liberty. It considers the discussion as "exhausted," and lUNIIIIIIIN an attitude of surprise at the request as striking as that of the muter of the workhouse when Oliver Twist asked for more porridge. It dutifully suggests that "if" there is to be any change in the laws which regulate the press, the government alone is the proper judge of the time when, and the extent to which it should be made. With these views it declines to associate itself with attempts to obtain a relaxation, " winch in their pressing and objurgatory form, do not seem to us calculated to hasten a solution." The rise at the Bourse goes on. The Rents closed at 71fr. 500. for cash and 71fr. 70c. for account, with a further improvement of 25c. and 30c. Mobilisr rose 60fr. The Orleans railway rose 15fr. ; Eastern, 10fr. ; Southern and Western, 12fr. 60c. each; Lyons, aft. 250.; and Northern, sfr. The Courier dr Bee-Rhin &gumless the death of M. Emile Dollfus, President of the Industrial Society of Mulhouse, formerly deputy of the town, and one of the principal representatives of the manufacturing interests of the country. He died suddenly at Baden on the 27th ult., from the rup ture of an aneurism. He was one of the mast influ ential free traders in France, and his death may be considered as a national loss. The handsome casino and bathing establishment of Fecamp was completely destroyed by fire on Monday evening. An English friend, who bad gone to pus the autumn there with his family, writes to me that scarcely a stick of furniture is saved. The fire broke oat in the kitchen, and is supposed to have been occasioned by some burning coal falling upon the deal flooring. The whole place was in flames in a few momenta. Happily there was no loss of life. Almost all the inmates were assembled in the draw ing-room, where there was an evening concert, and easily made their escape when the alarm was given. A paralytic lady, who was in her bed-room, was saved. This catastrophe is a terrible blow to Fe camp, which has been making praiseworthy efforts to become an attractive watering place. The casino was only completed on the let of Jane last, and the cost of building it was not less than 700,000 fr. It was capable of accommodating 400 visitors. The arrangements were very much like those of Fres eati's at Havre. It is understood that insurances to the extent of 600,000 fr. were effected with vicious ampanies. We may therefore hope that the public will not long be deprived of suitable accommodation at this very pretty point of the French coast. The cliffs and downs of Fecatop may bear comparison in some respects with those of Etretat; and when, u often happens, Etretat and Dieppe are overflowing, FEcamp is a precious harbour of refuge for sea bathers. It has the advantage of being cheaper than either of the above watering places, but the town is frightfully ugly, and the casino, now destroyed, was the only agreeable residence in the place. A rabbit-skin merchant, named Michel Liandier, WAS sentenced on Monday, at the assize court of the Bailie, to eight years' imprisonment, as a fraudu lent bankrupt. This man, &though he maid neither read nor write, carried on bu&nees on a very large scale, and in one year turned over as much as four millions of francs (160,0001.). Having many branch establishments in the provinces for the purchase of rabbit-skins, hie mercantile correspond ence was very voluminous, but he carried it all on through a public writer (ecrirain pesblie), a man who sits in a little but, scarcely big enough to hold two people, and whose ordinary occupation consists is writing servant-girls' love letters. This man not only wrote Liandier's letters, but posted up his books at his dictation. For some years Liandier was pros perous, but when the crisis of 18.57 came he bought rabbit-skins at high prices on credit, and sold them at one* at low prices for cash, and showed as much skill in dictating false entries as if ha had been able to write them himself. His mancruvree were, how ever, detected—not without difficulty—by an &c -onstant, and hem* his disgrace. Count de Persigny arrived in Paris on Monday, and was received in the coarse of the day by the Emperor and paid a visit to Lord Palmerston. He afterwards left for St. Etienne. Prins* Jerome gave on Sunday last, after the re. gatta of Havre, a grand dinner at Frucati's, at which the prefect of the department, the general com- manding the division, and the principal functionaries of Rouen and Havre, were present. The prince after dinner entered into a long conversation with the Mayor of Havre, and informed him that he had transmitted to the Emperor the Memorial which had been delivered to i him for that purpose by the muni eipality of Havre. Later accounts from Havre state that on the following morning Prince Jerome sent for the mayor and informed him that he had just received despatches from the Emperor authorising him to acquaint the Municipal Council of Havre that immediately on the return of the Moister of Finance to Parig, the question relative to the build ings on the site of the old fortifications should be solved, and that measures would be taken for the commencement next year of the works in the port. DISASTER TO THE. ROMAN ESTABLISHMENT ON sue letter from et. Petersburg, awed 24th of Ammer, la the Indepredaeatlge, says —" Since the departure of the Emperor a courier has arrived from Astra khan with dinestrona nese. A powder magazine has ex ploded.

INDIA AND CHINA. INDIA. We have received by special express, in anticipa tion of the Overland Mail, our advice. from Calcutta of the 17th. Together with these have reached us Bombay papers to July 24, forwarded, as is rendered probable by accounts in the Indian journals, by an after mail which wu to be sent by the Hon. Com paay's steamer Assays, in the hope that it would arrive at Aden in time to meet the Calcutta steamer on her way to Baez. By this mail our intelligence from the western side of the Indian peninsula is brought down five days lat2r than the date of the letters last received from Bombay. The news of the Jeddah musacre had just reached Bombay, and it was believed in that city that the Assaye was leaving in order to carry her long guns to the sap port of British rights there. Oar lut detailed news from India left General Roberts in pursuit of the Owallor fugitives, who attacked Tonk, a town in Rajpootana, on the road from Delhi to Mhow, and nearly 300 miles north of the latter place. The town was plundered by ths rebels, with whom Nabob's troops appear to have fraternised. The Nabob himself held oat; and while the insurgents were attacking his stronghold, they heard of the advance of Holmes's Brigade, and suddenly made off fur Numpcor Moonshor. The following aeries of telegraphic service mes sages, communicated by the government to the Cal- eutts press, exhibit the course of proceedings in this direction : " Allahabad, July 11,10.30 p.m. "General Roberts on the 6th July was at Sher doss, on the 7th at Ourhousa, and on the Bth at Gloolousee. Captain Eden accompanies the force. The rebels had moved south; on the 6th they were in the neighbourhood of Jellanee, and on the morn ing of the 7th were marching towards Took, and were on that day betw een Jallanee and Bursoonee. General Roberta about to send on detachments in pursuit ahead of his main force." " Allah bad, July 12, 10.40 p.m. " The following has been received from Agra, dated the 11th July, 9 p.m. Captain Eden writes by express from near Dotighar, that on the 9th inst. the rebels had taken possession of Took, and stir wended Bhoomghur, in which the Nawab resides. They have plundered the town and got three brass guns and a little ammunition. Firing wu heard in the camp from the Bhoomghur, in which the Nawab is holding out. None of his men, it is said, have sided with the rebels. General Roberts would reach Tonk on the 11th." " Allshabad, July 15, 11.10 p.m. " Capt- 4 n Eden writes from Touk on the 11th. The rebels were reported to have reached Rampore, and to have opened Sre on that place ; the result not known. If they succeeded in taking it they would have obtained 12 guns, with ammunition. Brigade left for Bukkor the evening before, and were 16 males from Rumpore. Sir R. Hamilton reports from Owalior that Abhoojan, a relation of the Banda Nawab, and Abniedullah, Rilladar of Muswara in the Shabad territory, were arrested on the 12th of July." . - . Albland, July 15, 12.10 p.m. " The following information dated 13th July, hu been received from Agra. Captain Eden writes from Bhoggree on the 10th instant :—The rebels who hid Wicked Bhoomghur in Took suddenly desisted, hear ing of Belmes's advance with cavalry and horse sir , tillery. They fled on the 9th instant, without stopping, to Buneta, and are supposed to have reached Rampoor a Oongara on the fol lowing day. Holmes's Brigade should be at Buneta on the 11th, and General Roberta with the main body would reach Took on the same day. The general hu sent an express for Colonel Smith's Brigade, at Sepree. Many of the Toot Nawab's troops have sided and gone with the rebels. The Sepoy caught at Japes states that the leaders are Tantea Topee, Nawab of Bands, Rahimally Khan, and the Handily Nawab. The rebels' horse, which came to the Blairtpore frontier, have fled into Dhooj (?) between Dholepore and Kurrowlee. The Bohai rebels who came back from °weber to Madhopore, in the Jeypore territory, have gone back to Sheopore in O walior." The Bombay Telegraph of July 24 says:—" We hear that the rebels, after plundering Took, did not go to Bampoora, u MIS expected, but went to Borwans, by way of Kunderee, proceeding thence to Kustulls. Colonel Holmes was waiting for farther information before moving on." The Bombay Standard says in its overland isrue: "We have intelligence from Brigadier Roberts's ofTee, then at Tonk, up to the 13th. They had arrived at this place the preceding day. On the 9th, finding themselves unable to overtake the enemy while they kept together, a light detachment was told off to pursue with the utmost speed. It consisted of 160 men of the lith Hussars, 120 of the Bombay Lancers, 220 of her Majesty's 72nd, a troop of horse artillery, and four companies of the 12th Native Infantry, the whole commanded by Lieut.-Col, Holmes, of the latter corps. The European infantry were to be mounted on camels for the sake of speed. On the 11th heavy firing was heard ahead of the main force, and it was hoped that Holmes might (*me up with the enemy. It turned out to have been an attack of the latter on the town of Tonk. It seemed to have sustained no harm at their hands. On our entering it three days afterwards we found the shops open and the tradespeople all at work, as if in the midst of the most profound tranquillity ; meanwhile considerable apprehensions of an attack on Nusseerabad were experienced. The ladies had all been ordered to Ajmere, and this latter place was being fortified. Twenty-five Europeans have died of sunstroke between the 26th, when the force left Nuaseerabad, and the 12th, when they reached Took." The Herkares of July 17 gives currency, in a postaeript, to the following statement: —" A rumour has just come that a very large force of rebels (12,000) is entrenched close to Allahabad. We have had no time to test the statement, and we give it Piet as we have received it—from a respectable queer." The Commissioner at Patna telegraphed on the 11th of July : " Rebels have retired rather further from Arrah, bat are still within ten miles. Bazar road still elated." And again, sa the evening of the same day: "Behar now appears to be entirely clear of rebels, and is perfectly quiet. This is the cue also with Patna and Chumali. There are still about 3,000 rebels in Shahabed, of whom 1,000 or 1,200 may be armed Bepoys. They principally occupy the yeeitioe of the district around the Jegdespore jungle. We have conaiderable bodies of troops at Amok and on the trunk road. Brigadier Doug lu is about to establish a chain of posts round the enemy's position. They have no gnus, and have proved themselves a very contemptible foe, and their expulsion is merely retarded by the state of the weather and the road." The following axtracedinszy statement is given in the Bombay Telegraph:—"lt is stated in a letter from Banda, that General Whitlock's column have made a large' haul' from the rebels. A company of the Madras 43rd Native Infantry, attached to the column, found 140 cartloads of gold bricks and nuggets, and 40 lace of rupees ; and more was ex pected to be discovered. Besides this large amount of treuure, an immense quantity of jewels have also been found. These are supposed to have been the jewels belonging to the Peishwa's family, which fifty years ago mysteriously disap peared from Poona, and were supposed to be in pos @anion of Scindia or Holkar. It is believed they were stolen by Bajee Row's brother, the adoptive father of the present Narrein Row, who is now a prisoner. The treasure and jewellery found are said to be of the value of nine crorea of rupees, or nine millions sterling." The rebel Rajah of Shahagunge has given him self up to Mr. Thornton, at Moororar. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) BOMBAY, JOLT 24. A steamer, the Hon. East India Company's steam ship Aasaye, being on the eve of starting for Jeddah, the scene of a massacre of which yon will doubtless have had the particulars, I hasten to write a few lines, merely for the purpose of informing you that very little change has occurred in the state of affairs her. Tantia Topee having taken and plundered Tonk, and vainly endeavoured to gain the fort held by the Nawab,General Roberta's force left the neigh. bourhood of Jeypore, where he had been for some days, and marched to Tonk, which he entered on the 12th instant. On the 9th • light detach ment of 150 Bth Hussars, 120 Bombay Lancers, 220 her Majesty's 72nd, four companies of the 12th Native Infantry, the whole under Lient.-Colonel Holmes, of the latter corps, was told off to pursue the rebels. The infantry, mounted on camels, and the force accompanied by a troop of Horse Artillery, started in the direction of Tonk, heard the guns of the rebels as they were taking the town, but failed I to meet them, as Tantia had retired on Colonel Holmes's approach. Fear are still entertained lest the enemy should have been able to turn towards Ajmeer. The ladies at Nusseerabad have been ordered into Ajmeer. There is no farther change noticeable in any other part of India. Lucknow, up to the 15th instant, was as usual quiet, though surrounded by enemies. Owalior equally peaceful on the 17th. Smithe's brigade hu spin left Seepree in the direction Of Jeypore ; and the 95th has been ordered from Owalior to Seepree. The Bangor and Gwalior territories have been foamed respectively into divisions by Brigadier Whitlock and Napier. The news from Beher are still bad. Arrah has again been attacked, and bungalows have been burnt there ; but no lives have been lost. The Buckree Eed Mahomedan Festival pared off here in perfect quietness, and without any display of force on the part of the authorities. The gay world of Bombay hu migrated to Poona, where the Governor now resides. CHINA. THE NEW TREATY. We have received by special express, in anticipa tion of the Overland Mail via Marseilles, &chime from Hoeg Kong of July 8, with particular, of the progress of negotiations in the north of China, so far us they were known in the colony at that date. Ac cording to information current in Hong Kong, the allied ambassadors, on receiving from the Ch , nese commissioners& letter promising conoeaions, thought best to test its value by suggesting that the Russians and Americans should make their terms at once, the bases of such treaties, with " most favoured nation clauses," forming a ready index to the extent of Chinese concession. The Russian treaty had been concluded, and reaches Europe by this mail, in charge of Captain Chicacoff, its terms however were not known outside the official pale. The 'heads of the American treaty will be found below. It will be noticed that our cousins have stipulated for their " good offices" in oases of difficulty with other powers. Article 5, conceding the privilege ofl an ambassadorial visit once a year to Peking, is the only novelty worth speaking of. When his Imperial Majesty's ship Ph legeton,wbich brought to Bhanghse the news now told, left the Peiho, the allied ambassadors were busy with the details of their treaties also ; and the mail packet was detained twenty hours at Hong Kong in the hope that it might carry home the desired docu ment, a hope that does not appear to have been ful filled. It is said that Ki-yiog, the imperial com missioner who concluded the treaty of Nanking with Sir Henry Pottinger in 1842, and was degraded in 1850 for his reports in favour of the English, was emaciated with the present commissioners. This was at filet considered an indication of a favoo'able disposition on the part of the Chinese government. It was, however, soon discovered on his arrival at Tien-Tsin, that the object was to retrieve his position and rank, by a line of policy diametrically opposed to that which lost it to him, and that he was exer cising a most injurious influence upon his colleagues, who had shown an anxious desire to terminate, at great sacrifices, existing difficulties. Fortunately a memorial which he bad addressed to the Emperor at the conclusion of the last war, couched in a very different sense from the communications he was ad dressing to the British authorities at the same time, was produced and read to his colleagues. This so completely humbled the wily Ki-ying that he re turned to Peking a day or two after, much to the satisfaction of the allies.

Great complaints are made at Canton of the nn. pleasant aspect of affairs there. The new Chinese Commissioner, Hwang-tenng-oan, is pursuing a course calculated to encourage resistance to the allies, as will be gathered from the following sums. sire official notifications published by our Acting. Consul at Canton : CIECTLAH.—TO THE BRITISH NIE4ANTILI COMMON= AT RONAN. - The undersigned has this morning received from the senior naval offiosr an official oommunicaUon of import so wei6ty, that, in aooordance with the wish therein impressed, he humus to make public the consideration which it embraces. The community most be aware that, for some time pad, the attitude of the population in the neighbourhood of Can ton has become more and more hostile. The recent procla mation of Hwang, Governor-General of the Two swang, and an imperial commissioner for the arrangement of the differences with foreign nations, replaces the relations of the provincial government with the allied poen in nearly the same position as they were antecedent to tho capture of the city. Its tone is 60 Inimical, anti Its calls for a warlike organisation, with the view of effecting the surrender of the city, are so energetic, and it has bcen ao widely and simulta neously circulated, that it most be considered es Invested, if not with the character of an express declaration of hostilities, with that of a warlike manlfroto. - I.Tader tii;eci7rttmetences, it will at once occur to the community, that the primary objects of the care of the senior officers in command of the silted naval forces, namely, the maintenance of the military position in the city, and the pre servation of the ships under their command, may demand the adoption of meseuree which will control or restrict the native traffic in the river passages in the neighbourhood of Canton. The community will elm consider carat Effect intelligence from other quarters—specie° or otherwise—may exert on the existing state of affairs in this locality. The senior naval officer is desirous that I should wan the community to omit no precautions likely to secure them selves against the treacherous and stealthy attacks so conso nant to the ides' of the Chinese, end that I should point out the imprudence of aoctuuulating on shore large and valuable stocks of goods and other property, or of entering into specu lations which the possible occurrenm of. crisis may seriously interruny he senior pt or impede. Lu, t naval officer has requested the issue cd thin notification, with the hope that a timely forethought will enable the mercantile community to make the arrangements most suited to their own and their constituents' interests, without hurry or panto. (Signed) CHARLES A. WINCHESTER. British Collations, Canton, 22nd June, 1858. The following is the second circular : The senior na;al officer ham been good enough to nom• munitate to the un the substance of a communica tion rectived from the Imperial Commissioner Hwang this weals& la which so far from dimpproving of the proceed ings of the braves, he declines to interfere to repress then, and urges the evacuation of this city. He affects through out entire igooranot of tho existent* of negotiations to the northward, and its general tone gives no room to expect any thing but the moat determined hostility. The community are probably se well informed as the pa dersigeed of daily rumour, and occurrencee, and as con" potent to judge of the probabilities of a genera { attack on the city. Keeping this in view, the undersigned advisees* longer to delay any preparations for • sudden depart^ which may be required ; it being evident that the - Mind forces in the occupation of the city and river cannot well be considered otherwise than in • state of war with the peo vincial government. CHARLES A. WINCHFATZR, H.8.11.'s Acting Consul for Cantos. British Consulate, July 1, 1858. On the same subject the Frietod of China, in its issue of July 6, says: . . In our issue of Wednesday last we gave a short retansi of of at Canton, prefacing it with the remark that "daffy our news from that quarter got worse and worse." We bare to repeat this. Such gnarl and bewilderment we could hardly hare oonosived, had we not, on a short visit last week, bed ocular demonstration of it. Three weeks ago people lived in hope on Honan. Even the garrison ontha hill were cheerful. It might hare been mutate for an European to travel in a chair from the landing plane to the Commissioners' l'amua, but certainly the danger did not appear so peat as to deter altogether. How different now I Honan is deserted, end the Mumma are that next mail will carry home mire the destruction of what, at a huge expense, bee been con verted into a foreign courtier. An embargo being laid on eff native boats, vegetables, poultry, mutton and other Mirka* ables hitherto finding their way to the offioers' mama bare stepped altogether. Chinese meas-men vanishing—in some awe with credit on the wrong side —Onkel now bars le Snags far themselves. We had an opportunity of L.:employ ing • party ft search of a few neowesaries on Saturdaysttr noon lest, and traversed tho Straight Street of Benevolence of Love from the Commissioners Yemen to the Hart Gds. Needy every shop was closed, and those with the doors cpm had very Stale to sell. At stalls by the way-side, only, coal a few cattle' of rtes to procured. Ten pounds of toe from one store left about 20Ibe. more in small bozo. Sager peered to be hidden in some secret mum, and a eagle of small pullets were the sole remain, of a dozen poultry table. Even the gates of that retort of gamblers sad radians of all descriptions—the City Temple—are closed. Such a *Alt oldeeolation was really painful to witness. But what has been the immediate canoe of this P some sal ask. The answer Is short. Repelling all attempt awls bility, the Chinese meet oar advances with cruelty. Weer , en Instance of what occurred on Saturday last, almost mkt our own eyes. Four Frenchmen landed from one ettloCer fleet's boats for the purpose of purchasing provisions. Who neer the south gate, and in the new city, they ware lama hi by Br►ves. Three out their way through—the fourth wt. captured, and lots head and hands cut off in sleet lean films than it takes us to write this sequel—a apecimen of the tams of panic. The French naval commander on the river Landed *FM? of sea, numbed to the street where the Lowder was cur talked, sessenred off one handled peas, sad at cos Of placed a detachment, with directions to shoot every male that tried to escape. A similar party barred the ether eel• Then came the revenge. Every adult male is the WWI lining the hundred pace' was twined, shot, hie threat and then left to swelter in the sun as a warning to the add' bourhood. Forty- ix bodies, about cue to tech yard, made a ONO epeetecla As a matter of course, only the missed, the hat, sad the blind, will remain longer in this ittramsd dry Alt esommenoes each as these. A. dastardly was the murder of the cook of the 70th $ gal Native Infantry °Morro' mem. Formerly lervesi General Van Btranbentie, he spoke excellent English, tree e most valuable man.

Two &Toys were close by—sad is wok bees le get sway ware the assassins, that the knife was Ise le at viettne's back. Brigadier Cordell, In charge at the VIA agreed with the suggestion that an enrol& of some k o i should be made. The whole street was levelled with the ground.
