MOB WATER AT LONDON RETOOL TRW DAT —Mnralag. ob. S 4 Attonhoos, 11. law To.Roaaow—lioralas, 1L no Maniocs, IL Wm LONDON, FRIDAY, SEPT. 14. Taut oil in no seuse great, Sir ARs'HIBALD MA NOR may be fairly called distinguished, if not, in some respects, unique. In an age of unexampled progress heat utterly incapable of moving himself, or of perceiving the manifold movements of the world around him. The last few years have been rich beyond all precedent in new experiments, in significant changes, commercial and political, both at home and abroad, but these changes have not l4ought a single new idea to the voluminous his torian of modern Europe. Observation and expe- Acne, teach him nothing, and he is impervious to the plainest facts and the strongest arguments. A surgical operation, it has been said, is necessary to enable his countrymen to perceive a joke, but even this extreme measure would not avail to open Sir Aa. iiiivite's eyes or enlighten his understanding. He is, in fact, a kind of natural curiosity, a moral pleenonienon—the living specimen of a poli tical species almost extinct. He represents the extreinest type of provincial Toryism. No bucolic squire, living in the obscurest corner of the most Bo.otian county, could be more obstinately wedded to a set of obsolete doctrines and exploded fallacies than the Sheriff of Lanarkshire, living amidst all the stir and bustle of the second manufacturing metropolis of the empire. Many of his political con temporaries no doubt have held doctrines equally narrow, and been the victims of theories equally fallacious ; but they have learnt wisdom by ex• periume, and reluctantly accepted the decisive logic of facts. But Sir ARCHIBALD is guilty of no such weakness. Instead of surrendering his arguments, he simply says tau t pour k fine. Other men who sire arotig protectionists, during the great battle of Free Trade, gradually abandoned the position w Lica thu results of the victory proved it to be utterly untenable. But Sir ARCHIBALD is quite ea strong a Protectionist to-day as he was fifteen or twenty years ago. He still believes that Free Trade is the curse of the land, the source of innumerable evils, and that our only safety lies is going back to protection. He still looks on the abolition of the corn-laws us a Protectionist deluge, and is himself a fossilheol specimen of the ante-diluvian period. The only explanation to be offered of such an anomaly is, that the great his torian exhausted the whole power of his nature in that wonderful work, fairly wore himself out in that voluminous party pamphlet, and that his iutel lect has been condemned ever since to move in the mill-horse round of its false statements and fallacious reasonings. Whether correct or not, this hypothesis answers the end if all hypotheses—it accounts for the fact. It explains how it comes to peas that whenever Sir AIicHIBALD opens his mouth in public he is sure, consciously or unconsciously, to talk what he had formerly written, and give orally the substance of certain chapters in his great work. He ia, as the reading world knows to its cost, the historian of the great war, and the object of his History is to prove that Providence was on the aide of the Tories during that long struggle. The country came triumphantly out of the conflict, after ail enormous expenditure of blood and treasure. This expenditure, however, the simple-minded historian looks upon ea the normal oondition of our prosperity, on which Heaven has in a peculiar manner set its approving seal. He directly connects Providence with an invasion panic, and has a fixed idea that the pnaperity of the country absolutely depends on heavy taxes and lavish expenditure. Amongst our recent po litical and national movements there are many which seem to point in this direction. Just nos, therefore, it may be naturally imagined, the state of the country offers some cheering symptoms to the conservative historian who has not advanced a single step since the year 1815. These favourable symptoms of our present state Sir ARCHIBALD dwells upon in an address just delivered at Glas gow on " The beet System of National Defence." This address is the first of a series of lectures on " Common Things," to be given for the Tempe rance Isnion of that town. Wu hope the Glasgow tietsiners were satisfied with Sir ARCHIBALD'a immoderation ; but we must say for ourselves that his statement* and suggestions, instead of being COMMON are amongst the most extraordinary and utterly extravagant we have recently taut w ith. Of course the lecturer applauds the Volunteer movement, but its present dimensions do not by any means satiety his vast desires. After all, however, it appears he has not much faith in a volunteer self-supporting force. He neither un derstands ner is willing to trust mere moral power of any kind ; but Covenunent pay is something subetantiaL He wonkl have an additional local volunteer force of 150,000 " called out by the `• I kiverninent, Mal by government, armed by Go " vernment, and exercised forty days in the year." We have all along urged the calling out and keep ing up of An effective Militia ; but to secure this no such serious interference with the regular occu pations of the country is neomsary. Half the time t.ir Alu'lltßALP su g gests would be amply suf. teient for the purpose of effective drill. But the :;00,000 Volunteers half supported by the country, instead of supplying the place of a large standing army, are, in Sir .11tellIlisLit's scheme, only pre hiniaary to a large increase of the regular force. He coolly jeoprees not only that oar regulation standing army should be doubled, but that the pay of the individual &Adler should lie nearly doolil,l as well ; that it should be raised to •2a. a 44y instead of Is. ld., as at present. Rut all tots inervase is not nearly enough to satisfy Sir He argues that our naval force should be doubled as well as of 4fftary. We ought, in his view, 4to )4 t have as many ships of the line se Lunn, France, and America united. More lavish expendi ture in the beading el vessels, and more also in the pay of the sedan, which, like that of the soldiers, ite would raise muck above the present rate. Sir AintliALD never pauses to consider whether the extravagant outlay he advises would womanly obtain the force he desires. All recent experience goes to show that the MM. 'increase of expense in the naval depart ment is no guarantee whatever for in creased eMciency. This, however, is a prac tical inquiry quite beyond the lecturer's range, or rather altogether beneath his notice. His one text, the simple burden of his advice—his " Best System of Defence," is, " Spend money, " wisely if you can, but at any rate spend " it, lavishly, recklessly, incessantly." But where is all the money to come from to meet the enor mous expense of this " Best System?" Sir Awn"- BALD, falling back on 1815, has his answer ready : " He advocated the expenditure of the money " recently voted by Parliament for fortifications, " and as to the country having reached the maxi " mum of its taxation, he said that in 1815 the " country did not contain more than nineteen " millions of inhabitants, and it raised 72,000,000/. " The population of the country was now twenty " eight millions, and yet they were told that the " country could not afford to spend 76,000,000 E. " It was perfectly ludicrous to say, as the advo " elates of peace at any price said, that we could " not afford to spend eight or ten millions on for " tifications. When he saw the national exp o endi " titre up to 130,000,0001. he should then think " we had reached the maximum taxation which " the country could stand, but not till then." Surely any comment on a statement like this is altogether needless. It is • complete recbietio ad a/mordant of the " Best System of Defence," which simply consists in doubling the naval and military expenditure of the country, and doubling the present amount of taxation in order to meet the enormous outlay. To any one but the Historian of Modern Europe such a proposal would at once appear in its only true character, as simply absurd. With him, however, it is the height of political wisdom—emphatically the " Best System." It recals the traditions of the great war, fulfils those indispensable conditions of our national prosperity—heavy taxes and lavish outlay—and thus gratifies the patriotic aspirations of the distinguished Conservative Historian.

On that °caution the Sardinian fleet fired a salute of seven teen guns in honour of the Dictator. The Neapolitan fleet has been delivered by Gari baldi to the Sardinian admiral. The Sardinian troops disembarked yesterday, by order of the Dictator. It is said that the King, on leaving Naples, ordered the bombardment of the town and the burning of the royal castle. It is even asserted that the original of that order has been found. A report is also current that the King will TO Gaeta with his army of 30,000 men, and will loin General Lamoricibre. The King Iwo formed a new royalist ministry, the members of which are Caselli, Oknofari, Ulloe, and Gerolamo. The Austrian, Russian, Prussian, and Spanish Minister, and the Papal Nuncio, have followed the King to Gaeta Tie whole army of Garibaldi will arrive at Naples in four days, and, with the insurgent bands, the total force will be raised to 80,000 men. The revolution is everywhere triumphant. It is said that the Dictator is about to march to Umbria. The Bixio and Medici brigades have just arrived in the port. Baron Brenier has not protested against the dis embarkation of the Sardinian troops. A proclamation of Garibaldi to the Neapolitans, issued yesterday, has been published.

ROJO, Bxse. LS. Th• Papal government is about to addiens a memorandum to all the guropean powers proteeting against the Sardinian invasion of the Roman ter ritory. This memorandum explains that the enrolment of foreign volunteers, of which Sardinia complains in her ultimatum, was principally due to the coun eels of Austria and France ; the latter powers having, after the Paris congress in 1866, insisted ou the formation of a Papal army. MILAN, Barr. 11. Giu-ibeddi's entry into Naples was celebrated last evening with extraordinary rejoicings. The muni cipality illuminated the dome of the cathedral, a thing only done on very great occasions. The effect of the floods of light upon the beautiful octagonal cupola of white marble is indescribable. The street. were crowded with an enthusiastic population, and the vendors of Garibaldi's portrait at b sous did an immense business. A novelty in the fete was the procession at a late hour of a number of illuminated drums, borne aloft on poles, bearing the in scription, " Rome—Venice—Rome the capital." This persistence in the idea of unity in Italy is very remarkable. All the cities of Italy will have cele brated yesterday evening the annexations which now make Victor Emmanuel the sovereign of upwards of 20 millions of subjects, but I doubt whether any of them will surpaaa Milan iu enthu siasm.

She brings 120 passengers for Bremen and 38 for Southampton, 233,500 dohs. in specie for Havre, and 200 dole. for Bremen. Her news has been anticipated. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. PARIS THURSDAY ERRING. For some time past the " Latest News" of the Pays and Petrie has been evidently communicated from a common source. But in order, perhaps, to illustrate the oft-officially asserted fact that the press is free in France, these journals are in the habit, occasionally, of making slight verbal altera tions in the text set down for them ; thus the Patric says this evening that Francis 11. (whom it calls the King of Naples) has gone to Seville, while the Pays only goes the length of saying that he is supposed to have gone there. Again, both journals announce that Lainorich)re has fallen back upon Ancona at the head of an army which one states at 8,000 men, and the other at from 7,000 to 8,000 ; but as to the opposing force the discrepancy in the figures is so great as to indicate carelessness en the part of one or other of these depositories of ministerial communications, for while the Pays says that the " Piedmontese troops opposed to the general are three times superior in number—being estimated at 25,000," we read in the Pat. it that "the lines of Ancona will be attacked by a Pied montese army of 45,000 men." A very curious denial of a recent report appears in the Pays. A Belgian journal, the Universe!, lately stated that Spain had asked the European powers to guarantee the temporal power of the Pope, and that the proposal had been met with great coldness, " more especially on the part of France." The Pays now avers that the assertion is completely erroneous. You would suppose, no doubt, that uo such proposition was ever made. But no ; the Pays goes on to claim fur France the merit of having taken the initiative (which the Belgian journal wrongfully attributes to bigoted Spain), so long as five months ago, and adds that "it was no fault of France if a favourable answer was not given." I hope the Pope will give the Em perorfullcreditfor his pious intentions five months ago, but it is very satisfactory for the peace of Europe to find that at the present moment there seems every likelihood that France will leave his Holiness in the hole where he is. It is, however, a most re markable fact that the author of the " Pope and the Congrewi" and the "Pernicious Doctrines" stigmatized from the papal chair, should now claim credit for having outbid Queen Isabella of Spain in seal for the perpetual maintenance in the Roman States of the worst of all the bad governments that lately existed in Italy. Blither's latest correspondence circulates a rumour that as soon as the Piedmontese army invaded the Roman States General de Lainorici:me changed his plans, and instead of going to Ancona determined to march to (Lieta and joie the army of the King of Naples. This plan, however, if it existed, must be broken up by the flight of the Bourbon monarch. Baron de Talleyrand, the French Ambassador at Turin, is coming to France, leaving the legation iu the hands of a char,pS d'affaires. This news, how ever, although it may be symptomatic of a coolness between the two powers, does not bear out the rumour of a rupture of diplomatic relations which was current at the Bourse. The news that Francis 11. has fled from Gaeta is confirmed. He left on board a Spanish frigate, and no doubt for Seville, although the Pays says it is " not exactly known where he is gone." Thus dis appears the last hope of the Jesuits and legi. titillate, that lie was going to make a light of it, and thus are answered their asseverations that he only ran away from Naples, bemuse his humane heart wished to spare the town the horrors of war, and that his gallant spirit meant to take up agrand strategical position elsewhere. Only this morning the Monde complacently said to its readers : The Kiag of Naples is at Gaeta: a great part of his army still remains faithful. He is glad to be out of the hands of a set of knaves, who, at Naples, hammered his will and deceived his conscience. He way now make arrangements with General de Lamoriciarc, tall French generals to his aid, and take port in a serious war to deliver his people and recover his crown. M. Grandguillot's thunder on behalf of the Pope bits not frightened the Piedmontene. A Turin letter of Sept. 11 in the Frew , says : The rumour that diplomatic reowestrosoe bad come from Paris, strengthened as it was by paragraphs iu the Pays mod Paine, and a solemn article in the Amistitrtionsel, we. calculated to excite uneasiness lost the French alliance should be affected by the invasion of the Pontifical States. Icon, however, assure you that the news has produced no effect whatever here. Something tells the public that, ea is the ease of Tuscany and the Romagna, M. Gimredgnillot is an inowrect exponent of the real policy of Franco, end that he does not sightly understand the full bearing of the principle of non intervention. All the journal@ and all political men are quite easy on this score. I can assure you of the fact as being altogether beyond doubt. The following no from the Alba!, : . . . . As it was easy to foresee, the prophetic objurgations of the Coostitotionnei have Leen estimated at their true value in Turin. If there still remained the least shadow of doubt as to Victor Emmanuel's designs, it is now diaipated. A despot& from Bologna, dated the 11th, announces that General Oialdini Ire passed the Roman frontier. We cannot yet fix the moment when this pease was effected, which will be in Its cousamences one of the gravest facts in contemporary history, if it should lead to Austrian interventios, and one of the most important in the history of the world, if it should ultimately lead to the ruin of the temporal power of the Popes. The revolt of the town of Forombrone and its repression by the pen tifiail troops appear to have determined General Cialdines solvence, after hesitating two or three days. If it should at tura out, Foesombrone, the forum stosprostii of the Romans, one of the smallest towns in Italy, will have twice witnessed in the course of centuries events et incalculable importance, since it wee there that, more than two thou- I sand years ago, the defeat of Asdrnbal secured the safety of pagan Rome, and sealed the ruin of Carthage. as the fate of catholic Rome may perhaps be decided there in our day. Before the Piedmontese troops invaded the papal territory they must have had time to receive the decisive rwoclana- Eon which Victor Enunamsel had addressed to his army, and which we have received by telegraph from Turin.

The following statements, of au earlier date, will show the previous events and state of affairs in the insurgent provinces under the Pope's titular dominion. A letter from Turin, dated the filth, iu the Cotietitatioand, says : Since yesterday evening despatch alter despatch has reached us, announcing the tepid extenidon of the maurrec. lion. I have already mentioned to you that the movement commenced at Pesaro, and that 400 citizens drove out the troops of General de Lamoriciere. This was the signal fora struggle in all the Marches. At Moutefeltro, Urbino, and several other plumes, the insurrectionary standard was raised amidst cries for Italy and Victor Emmanuel. The chief of the insurrection is Prince Simonetti, • large land owner, and the most highly-respected in the Marches. He has foe some time past resided at Bologna, where he was chosen deputy at the last elections. As aeon as the agitation commenced iu his own country, be thought it his duty to joinin it, and he immediately hastened into the midst of the people, who, if left to themselves, would perhaps have given to their movement a character of disorder and of violence, which his authority alone will pre. vent. Umbria has already followed the example of the Marches. These two countries declare themselves to be bound together by a community of suffering and of hopes. The iasurrection of Umbria tint manifested itself at Orvieto. which is at only a very short distance from the Tuscan frontier of Piedmont. A Turin letter of the !kb, in the Meek, has the following : Count dells Minerva received yesterday; on leaving Turin, • sealed letter, which he was ordered not to open before he reached Leghorn. On arriving there, and opening the note, which was the ultimatum addressed to Cardinal Antoueth, the count, finding . no steamer ready to sail for Civita Vecchia, decided on going by land, as we learn from n_private despatch received at the ministry this morning. The Sardinian envoy will probably reach Rome this day, arid the answer to the ultimatum will no doubt YOOll be known. The count's IlliAloll has assumed a much greater importance owing to the insurrection which has broke out in the Marches, and which is spreading with great rapidity. The detachments of the Pontifical nunbiniers have been obliged to fall back on the body of the army. A correspondent from the Marches,writing to the Espero of Turin, exposes the infamous kind of war fare prepared to be waged by the reactionary party against the revolted provinces. After a conference held at the resideni4 of Cardinal Deangelis at Fermo by the delegates of /moll, and Mace reel, they resolved to organise a irrigantarvio from among the mountaineers of 1849, who were to be given the old name of " centurions." After this resolutioa Si. de Savigny, a Vendean, General Lamoriciere's aide-de-camp, arrived from Macerate for the purpose of putting himself at the head of these knights of the highway, and then almost im moliately they proceeded together with the delegate and secretary of police to Acquaaanta. When they got there they sent fur the brigand chiefs. After that they again assembled at Santa Maria, • place near Acquaganta, where they dined, and then made the requisite arrangements. What is known of therm, as vet, in as follows : 1. Eight companies, each 150 strong, in all 1,200, aro to he formed, to ho organised by the aforesaid chiefs under the direction of M. de Savigny. 2. They are to be hi the brigand costume, with a white or yellow belt to bold their pistols, awl each man is to have • musket. Twelity-sve cases of musket. have already arrived at Ascoli for arming them, and also several barrels full of cartridges. 3. There bands of countrymen are to come from the mountain, and after each nun had received his musket they will all be posed in review by Si. de Saviguy, and they are then to make a demonstration with the cry of " Long live Pio None! Death to Garibaldi ! Death to Victor Emmanuel !" All the citizens are indignant at this infamous compact, and even those mud devoted to the go vernment condemn it as not only calculated to dis turb the peace, but also to encourage robberies and disorders in the rural districts, just as they were committed in 1849 by the same gentry. It appears that Gen. Lamorictere, being in a des perate plight,wants to make use of these ruffians to increase his strength and wage a guerilla warfare in the Apennines. These shameful proceedings ought to be made known to the whole world through the public press, that every one may nisi how a government, calling itself paternal, makes use of vile and barbarous weans, the object of which can only be slaughter and It is positive that M. de Savigny has taken the command of these robber bands, and means to use them for military purposes. Another correspondent, under date of Rimini, Sept. 8, 2 p.m., gives us the following particulars : Whilst 1 ant writing to you a fierce and sanguinary iu aumction has broken out against the Papal troops. Monte feltro rose in arms this morning. The insurgent* sad de tchments of volunteers, hurrying from all ports to swell the ranks of the emigrant*, are concentrating all their strength in order to occupy l'fbiun. At loglin en encoun ter hos already taken place, in which our men defeated the Papal troops and pat them to night. Perhaps other mountain-towns and coast-towns will re volt before many days are over. General bamoriciZ , re, says the Ar.c.ionr, is collect ing the main body of the Papal forces between Spoleto and Turui. The state of the Marches anti the Umbria, oppressed as these are in a thousand ways by the ferocious licentiousness of the adven turers, is daily getting worse. A significant commentary is supplied by these facts upon the diatribes with which the Jtomitical and Legitimist organs have begun to assail King Victor Emmanuel, rince he has decided, at the urgent entreaty of the tits:rem:est population of Urbino and the Marches, to extend to them the protection of au Italian army, and to expel Lamm ricii?re and the 18,000 or 20,000 foreign merce naries under his command from the country they have been threatening to ravage with fire and sword. The Union., criticising in its own irrational style the King's proclamation, brings forward against the term " foreigners," au argument which Las been already used, but not considered of much weight : Besides, against whom does the Sardinian cabinet level this unjustifiable epithet! Who are these "foreignem Why they are Roman catholien, Frenchmen, our friend., our relatives, our brothenig Foreigners, indeed ! la not Cayour aware that no Christian is a to:v*l*r at Rome?-- that ROMA is the country of all who are proud to belong to the church of Jesus Christ?—that it is precisely the glory and strength of the Sovereign of Rome not to be a foreign suverogu in any other Roman catholic country? Must we remind a minister of the house of Savoy that the Pope has dirfused over the Italian soil, over Pieamont especially, more power, liberty, anti glory, than be has ever received from any one, even from the most faithful one, even front the most faithful monarchs of the Sardinian d) nasty ? Does a statesman who owes everything to the Freuch . allianco re quire to be told that at Rome, Frames, the devoted sad eldest daughter of the church—that at Reins Frame is Dot in the paternal &tattle—that, ever since Cluuiemagne, she has never allowed any one to invade that domestic oinctuary,and that site is not dispostal to see herself treated as a for/rumor where she Made the first rank, both by her honour sod bar sword. . _ The writer to the end refuses to believe that the King can carry out his toenacel invasion—a sup position which the intelligeneti we have 'since re ceived shows to be erroneous. The following description of the Papal States is of interest at this niouient : geforc the war of Italy the States of the church were divided into four legations, not ometim . ! the •liptdct of Rome. The fi rst comprising the provinces of 1:01.r,,ma, Fe' ram, Forti, and Ravenna, were culled Homages'. They have been annexed to Piedmont. The second consisted of the provinces of Urbino, Pesaro, Itacemta, Loreto, Alumna, Fenno, Aseoli, and Carnerims, aud are commonly called the Starches. They have on the north ltotnagna, on the east the Adriatic, ou the south the Kingdom of .Israph...s, and on the west by Tuscany and the provitmes of Simleto and Perugia. They separate Romaima from the Neapolitan Statm. The third legation consists of the provinces of ! 4 poleto, Perugia, sod Rieti ; the first two constitute what is idled Umbria. The town of Foligeo, which is in Perugia, is the Fulginium of the ancients. The fourth legatos comprises the provinces of Velletri, Frosinone, sod Benevento ; the latter, however, is surrounded by Nes. la.liten territory. The district of Rome. which is placed under a special r lime, clesiats of that city, of Viterbo, Orvieto and (Iva:. V ec chio, the latter being en important commereial port. PROSPECTS OF L.OIORICIERE. A Turin letter of Sept. 11 says : The two Sardinian arstW, corammided respectively hy Generale and Della Rocca, will enter the 11.'111'6 rit.ites simultaneously at different !arias, in order to dia. tract Loinuricire. IV,: may Irk for serious fighting in the course of the week. As to Lamorieiere's plans, wo learn that he has withdrawn all the troops that he had in the I north of the )(aches, and has concentrated his forces on the roads which form the sides of the triangle between Perugia, Ancona, and Foligno. The point at which it is con jectured he will accept brittle is Falconers, about 20 kilomet rm. to the south west of Ancona. It is said, moreover, that the Pore's general will not attempt to def,ial the south of the Marches, which it is taken for granted will ties and be assisted Le the Garilialdises of the Ahroesia. Lonori siere, therefore, will held nothing is :he Marches 'out the central line running from Anclitia to Toligno by way of Maiwista. Incase of defeat at Falconers its supposed that he will par the Appenines and fall back upon Spoleto. Whatever he may do his position is a most trying one, and mikes Austria interferes It may be considered dery.rate, sines he will be attacked on two sides at once, and is M the midst of a hostile popalation. THE EXPEDITION TO THE NORTH OF CHINA. The following letter from a gentleman Ip.longing to the Chinese Expedition hats been sent us fur publication : Odin Bay, Talicn Hwan, July 11, 1860. _ . By the 24th all the transports had arrived, and apparently we only waited the arrival of Lord Elgin to proceed to our destination ; but, as day after day passed, we began to become rather sceptical about his coming at all. As usual in camp, "shaves" were flying about as to the cause of his lordship's non-arrival. Some stated that he was ill, that he had been recalled, that ho had been wrecked, that he had a quarrel with Baron Gros, and that both were returning ; and lastly, a wag, by way of beat ing all competitors, solemnly affirmed that he had had it front the best authority that the plenipo tentiary was growing a beanl, and that he did not wish to present himself till it had gained some way. However, whichever of these were true, the authorities determined, as it was not probable that he would come for some time, to disembark the troops. Accordingly, at the commencement of the current mouth, we were all disembarked—the Ist Division at Victoria Bay, the 2nd at Hand Bay, the artillery and cavalry at Odin Bay—all of which are inlets of the Bay of Talien ; when, as we had settled down in our respective camps, Lord Elgin made his appearance in the Feroze, and after stop ping a couple of days, went yesterday morning to Che-fow-tow, where the French are stationed. It is said that Lord Elgin expressed his surprise that we hail not already started for the Peat°. If such is really the case, he must be unreasonable or ignorant of Sir H. Grant's character, or he would I have known that without positive orders our chief would not move a single man. The French, having no money, find it very diffi cult to get themselves ready in time ; and now they say they will not be prepared before the 25th of this month ; so that I suppose it is incumbent on us to kick our heels till our gallant allies are ready, What the reason of their not being supplied with money is I do not know ; and I coufeaa, after what I have read and heard of their equipment in the Crimea, that lam rather surprised. It may be that the Emperor does not take much interest in the expedition. If this is the case, it also at:comae for the style of troops sent out here. These, Crimean officers say, are very different from those sent to the Crimea. TUI, of the regiments, the 101st and 102nd, have been raised since the Italian war, and are composed of recruits. I lutist say that I was much struck with the appearance of the French officers at Hong Kong ; to me they cent tainly looked officers (on account of their uniform), but I should not also have taken thew for gentle men. At Victoria Bay I went to the top of the highest hills, about I,iloo feet in height, and bad a capital view of the country around, taking iu the Gulf of Pe-che-le : it was generally billy, with a valley here and there. The other day I went to the top of Mount Samson, the highest peak near here (3,000 feet), but was not rewarded more than at the mountain above mentioned. The view was more extensive certainly, but it was the same. The dia. tame front Hand Bay was about six miles, but the pull up from thence was awful. On the oth I took advantage of the escort of a party of officers, who were going out to see King- Chow, a large walled city, about nine miles front Hand Bay and fifteen miles from Odin Bay. Passing through a very hilly country, which re minded me somewhat of Caithnesn-shire, we arrived at the foot of the walls, which were immediately mounted by a large crowd of Tartars. Luckily we had a native interpreter with us ; and havingaaked for the head mandarin, we requested permission to be allowed to enter the city. This was flatly re fused, and nu promise or threat could make then/ open the gates. However, they compromised mat ters, by sending out an inferior mandarin to give us tea and ginger. The former was very nasty and the latter very good. Tea made as the Chinese drink it is not the refreshing drink it is in England. They like it very weak, burning hot, and without milk or sugar. The mandarius were dressed is long coats of Nankin, reaching down to their ankles, and plentifully covered with brass buttons. Hound the waist was a narrow blue belt with brags clasp, and on their heads were hats shaped like basins and mule of straw. On the top was a haan button, from which came tails of red horse ir or of red silk. The hind man hart a large and beautiful black feather sticking out behind. Notwitlintsuding the stony nature of the soil, the whole country is most highly cultivated ; so much so, that, except at the very tops of the hills, there was wit a blade of grass to be seen, while in the fields were swarms of oxen, ponies, and mules, occupied in ploughing, grinding corn, or drawing carts. The plough is the RAMC as that used in India, and is drawn by two oxen. The apparatus for grinding corn consists of an immense large round stone, raised about two feet from the ground; On this stone the corn is spread, while another smaller one, of the shape of a garden roller, is placed on the top of it, and attached to it by means of a ring, which passel over au iron bar rising out of the centre of the big atone. At the other end of the roller is a strong wooden bar, which is attached to a yoke for the donkey, puny, or mule. This animal moves round and round, and thus grinds the corn ; the carts are much like the common hackery of India, only much lighter, and better built ; they arc drawn by all sorts of animals, ap parently according to the wealth of the owner ; however, the mode of yoking them is curious, they place one pony or mule in the shafts, and three other animal's abreast, ahead of him. The people are dressed nearly all alike—i. e., in a Tartar cap (made of black felt), a coat made of white cloth, and wide loose blue trousers ; all their shoes are made of cloth, except at the soles ; they are also very clever at making shoes of string and grass-- both are most beautifully worked. The houses are very strongly and compactly built (like the mime. roux walls round the fields), of the hard brown stone COMMOU to the country ; they are generally thatched, sometimes with sea-weed and sometimes with grass ; the houses of the more wealthy are tiled with the saute stone as the walls are built of. Everything proves that these Tartars are pretty well advanced in civilisation ; their implements, both domestic and agricultural, are most ingenious, while in their ken houses are to be seen pictures that would not disgrace a European artist. There is SUMO talk of leaving a force behind here, but as there is no reason that I can see for it, I put it down as a camp "shave." Sir R. Napier has got into bad odour with the naval authorities for (TN. sing the organisation of a naval brigade ; but how ever eager our friends in blue are for • fight, I can not see the necessity of such a force. Without them, I think, we have more than we shall really want, MU why turn Bailors into soldiers 1 In India and the Crimea it was all very well. I scarcely think that the navy would like to have a brigade of artillery put on board their ships to serve their guns ; they would say what we say, " Many thanks for your offer, but we eau do without you ;" therefore, I say, ;ill honour to General Napier for his determination to break through what was fast becoming custom. Thu lieutenant and master of oue of the gun boats have just been shot by a marine on board—one dead. SUERZNDrr. Or SYRACrBL — It is known that the town of Symcuse, in Sicily, remained in the power of the Neapolitan troops. Thou men have in their turn just declared in favour of Italian unity. The government of Palermo has announced this fact to the Sicilians in the following terms :—"florae days ago the government were informed that the royal troops were disposed to recognise the national movement, at to merit the title of Italian Ithad a n been oa decid d in l under wh tosecond this tOO National from Catania to Syracuse. • The garrison. however, did not wait for the arrival of those nom, hot declared for the Italian came 17 fraternising with the people, end thus pined the whole honour of - their patriotic conversion.
