Tas full accounts of the events in China, par tially and enigmatically reported through the telegraph early in the week, make the overland mail from China distributed this morning one of the most interesting which has ever reached Europe from the East. The last letters from before Pekin left Lord ELGIN expecting the reply of Prince Ktrito to his demands. The north gate of Pekin was in the hands of the Allies, and the Plenipotentiaries were making use of their com mand of the capital to compel the surrender of those English and French prisoners remaining after the restoration of Mr. LOCH and Mr. PAaran It soon appeared that the unfortunate gentle men had fallen victims to Tartar cruelty, and their bodies were all that the Chinese could produce. The corpses of Mr. BOWLEY, M. DI NOILMEN, and Lieutenant ANDERBON, with those of one European and eight Sikh soldiers, were given up with marks of the most cruel treat ment upon them. It is stated that they were tied up in the brutal manner in which the Tartars are accustomed to treat their prisoners, and, being scantily supplied with food, expired beneath the seventy of their sufferings. It would be gratify ing to know that the perpetrators of these outrages had been brought to justice. We always please =wives while • war is in programs with the thought of the righteous retribution which will attend its close ; but as the prospect of peace opens, we willingly let the guilty great go free that we may snatch its benefits. The " Old Man " &rine" and savage Tartar Generals, whose chas tisement hse been so often promised, have got off free, as from the first they were sure to do. In this case all that Lord Emu( could do, after having caused the remains of our lamented countrymen to be honour ably interred, was to demand • sum to be given for the benefit of their families. The amount obtained, 100,0001., appears singularly inadequate, con sidering that, including Captain Baasezos, four of the victims were gentlemen of social position. We quite expect to find that Lord &ors accepted this miserable sum for some special reason. The pay ment does not figure in the articles of the Con vention of Pekin as they are at present known ; and it was obviously not the policy of our Pleni potentiary to multiply the conditions of a peace, at that time uncertain. Mr. BOWERY and his companions were buried on the 17th, and on the 18th the Yuen-ruing-yueu Palace, which had been sacked • few days before, and where, it was believed, many of the cruelties suffered by the European prisoners had been per petrated, was burnt to the ground. Some may, if they please, call this an act of barbarism ; but, to our minds, the moral significance of the act, effectually marking, as it was intended to mark, our detestation of the cruelties inflicted there, raises it far above that imputation. It was pro bably the only way in which we could reach the EMPEROR, who most be considered responsible for deeds which he might have prevented but did not. It is a thousand times better that the wrath of the army should have broken forth on the luxuries of the Emrsaint than that we should have afflicted the women and children of Pekin with the horrors of an occupation, to say nothing of the destruc tion of their dwellings, " street by street and " house by house." The signature of the Convention of Pekin and the ratification of the Treaty of Tientsin by Prince Kuno, the brother of the EMPEROR, took place in the very heart of Pekin, into which three thousand of the QUEEN'S troops were marched, the band playing the National Anthem. All the de mands of our Ambassador have been ceded, on paper, and it is probable that if they had been much more onerous they would have been assented to. The only one of them which really touches the Chinese Government is the so-called indemnity. According to the Shanghai papers the amount of this payment has been doubled in consequence of the necessity of advancing on Pekin ; but this is not true if, as they also state, the Chinese are to pay only 8,000,000 teals on that account, since that was the sum demanded by Lord Eton! in the abortive negotiations at Tientsin which pre ceded the march to Pekin ; 2,000,0001. is • ridi culous sum to take as an indemnity, so ridiculous that we prefer to see Lord Euas'a despatch before discussing the item any further. The regret in the name of the Elusion for the affair of the Taku Forte costs his MAisarT little, even if he has heard of it. The formal cession of Cowloon beneficially extends our jurisdiction to a place which we have already occupied under a lease. The relinquishment by Lord Elam, in 1858, of the treaty right of our Minister to reside perma nently at Pekin was a friendly concession, and has of course been revoked. But the exercise of this right, unless very wisely managed, will be attended with numerous embarrassments. If we are to have a Minister at Pekin, it would have been well to have had him installed there, and placed in communication with the Mimeos, if possible, before our troops were withdrawn from the capital. After marching the army thither we ought not to leave any questions open or any obstacles to be overcome. The opening of orient in to trade, and the permission of emigration, are provisions in which so many Chinese anti English interests coincide that upon them few difficulties may be expected to arise. The Treaty of Tientsin and tho Convention of Pekin areto be promulgated throughout the Empire. Practically this means wherever the British and French are able to supervise its pnblic►tion, for the govern ment cannot be expected to exert itself with much enthusiasm to destroy its infinence over its !sub jects. Now that the Treaty is signed, we trust that it may prove capable of becoming a starting point for new and permanently improved relations with China. How far this is possible events must show. Those who know the Chinese best are always telling us that one can never tell what they will do from a calculation of what Europeans would do in the same circumstances. It may be that this Treaty, like that of Tientsin, extorted by appeals to fear, will be observed better than that has been. It probably will be, if those who are entrusted with the direction of our political relations with China will honestly re gard it as above and before all things a means of extending friendly intercourse with that people. At all events the actual results of this expedition, prepared with so much care and at such enormous cost, will surely teach our rulers that war is, of all expedients, the one which can do least to advance that end. We have accomplished the long-threatened march to Pekin, which we found too remote to govern and too populous to bombard or sack, and we have come away with a piece of paper, and a beggarly spoil which will not pay one-eighth part of the cost of the campaign. And having done this, we I have now to set about the real w o r k o f p eace , pretty nearly at the point at which Mr. Minus found it last July. :a i 174 iirs, Pout Bvo, 11a, FILIPPo STROZZI: a History of the Lest Days or the Old Italia Unity. by T.

This afternoon the royal mail packet Alliaame, arriving at this port from Calais, brought to England Mr. Loch, with the already anticipated despatches from China. The intelligence that Mr. Loch was on board, though ascer tained only a quarter of an hour before the snivel of the packet, rapidly spread keel!' over the lower part of the town, and on the arrival of the Alliance alongside the Admiralty pier there war a crowd of eager and enthusiastic spectators ready to give to Mr. Loch, so fresh from the scene of the recent exploits in China, a hearty congratu lation on his isle arrival once more upon English soil. On the vessel being brought to her moor ings, Mr. J. G. Charchward, of the Dover and Conti nental Mall Service, proceeded on board, and as an old ac quaintance of Mr. Loch's offered his congratulations. The Mayor and Mr. W. H. Bodkin, the recorder of the borough— the last-named gentleman having fortunately just arrived at the Lord Warden at the time the telegraphic menage an penitents the departure of the Alliance with Mr. Loch on board bad been received—also offend their congratulations on his sale return. The Mayor (J. Birmingham, Esq.) warmly welcomed him on his safe arrival in England. He assured him the recital of his sufferings had excited the utmost sympathy and commiseration of his countrymen, He felt, however, that those sufferings bad induced the vigorous measures that had resulted in • glorious peace. He re gretted the corporation, in a body, were deprived of the honour and pleasure of waiting on his landing. Mr. Loch tendered his best thanks, and expressed his gratitude for all the kindness shown him. Among the persons amismbisd at the railway station were a great number of ladies, in cluding Miss Birmingham, daughter of the mayor. All gracefully welcomed Mr. Loch, who appeared highly grati fied with the reception afforded him. From the communi cations made by Mr. Loch it appears that at the time he left the scene of operations in China Lord Elgin expected to follow in about three months. Two regiments were about to leave, and twelve men-of-war were also coming home. As the train moved out of the station the persons assembled raised a hearty cheer. His Excellency the Earl of Carlisle, who has been staying on a visit to the Duke and Mohan of Sutherland at Trentham, hes left for Castle Howard, his lordship's seat in Yorkshire. The Earl and Lady Constance Grosvenor have arrived at Trentham, on a visit to the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, from Calverley Park, Cheshire. The E a rl of Dudley, who arrived in town a few days bock from Germany and Paris, has loft Dud ley House, Park-lane, for Whitley Court, Worcestershire. The Hon. Frederic and Lady Elizabeth Villiers have arrived at Thomas's Hotel, Berkeleyequars. Lord Hrlamere was married yesterday to Mis s Augusta Seymour, daughter of the Right Hon. Sir George Hamilton sod Lady Seymour,who gave an elegant el6ra err, at their residence in Grosvenor -crescent, to a select family circle. The noble lord and his bride left town in the after. noon for the Hoo, near Welwyn, Lord Dame's seat in Hert fordshire to peas the honeymoon. A marriage is arranged to take place between Lieutenant-C,olonel Cud, of the Grenadier °thirds, and Lady FlOllOOll Lee ellea, sister of the Earl of Harewood. • A marriage is arranged to take plum early in the spring between Miss Victoria Hassell, eldest daughter of Lord John Rumen by his first marriage with lady Ribble.- dale, and Mr. Henry Montagu Villiers, eldest eon of the Bishop of Durham, and nephew of the Earl of Clarendon, 8.0. The fair betrothed is a goddaughter of the Queen. Christmas again finds Professor Farainy at the lecture-table of the Royal Institution, addressing • nume rous audience of old and young with his wonted etteactive ness sad mew. Though the lectures he delivers at this meson are intended for juvenile hearers, • large portion of those who occupy the crowded benches are generally of mature age, for, be the subject what it may, they feel assured that they shall derive information and pleasure from Professor Faraday's method of treating it. " Tbe Chemical History of • Candle" is the subject of the present course, as it was of the lectures delivered two yawn ago. The Firehieto, the Italian Punk, has jest given • clever representation of the different modes proposed for the orgaaiaatioo of Italy. There is the " Italy of the old diplomatists," the old, torn, patched, and most uncomfort- able " Boot," with which Europe has been so long familiar. Then there is the "Italy of the modern diplomatists," • poppet, moved by strings and wires, and held in and moved by the hand of Frame There is likewise the "Italy according to the Mamialaa programme of ' God's I the peepio'"—a glittering soap-bubble, blown out of the wise of abstract ideas. There is " Italy such a• her one setae wish to soaks her," symbolised by • captive maiden who is chained by an Austrian gaoler, coil scourged by • bigot priest. Contrasted with this victim the artist has sketched "Italy such as her true Maids woald reader her "—a mailed and helmeted Amason, her left arm leaning oo • =soon, her right head grasping a sword, guarding a fief on which is inscribed " Italy and Victor Emmanuel." Again, there is the Italy of the " Fadesahsts," set forth by • party of clowns and pantaloons, each endeavouring to obtain • slice of a tempting and well-sugared cake. LATEST INTELLIGENCE THE FRENCH DESPATCHES FROM CHINA. The Moniteur of yesterday publishes the follow ing despatch from Baron Gros, a telegraphi c hea l . mary of which appeared in the Mouitcor of the 200, of December, via St. Petersburg PEED 7, Nov. 7.

Ignatieff, the Minister of Russia, whose frank support has been of great use to me on all occasions, awaited us in the burial-ground.

The iron cross has been replaced on the gamma of the edifice, and the "Domino, =loam fat; Imperatorent" has inaugurated the public and legal re-establishment of the catholic faith in China. Moreover, there has been remitted to me, sr an especial indemnity for the outrage of the 18th of September, th.• sum of 1,500,000 fr. Everything is programing admirably, and encourages the hope that this success will be lasting. I shall prolebly leave Pekin in two or three days to return to Tientsin, to concert there with Lord Elgin as regards what remains ts be done. BARON GRO4. The Meniteur adds the following to the above despatch : To explain the above it is as well to give the principal points of the ultimatum addressed to the Chinese goictn. meet : " 1.

The Libras of to-day says :—" Letters from Vienna inform us that the Hungarian patriot, Count Teleki, was to arrive there on the 23rd in the custody of two police agents. These letters state that it is not probable the Austrian Government will use any rigour to the honourable adversary who has been delivered up to them by the klaxon Government ; but will merely detain Count Teleki until the pacification of Hungary. We accept these assurances the more willingly that in the present circumstances severity would be opposed—we do not Ray to humanity only, but to the rules of the most simple prudence and to the must evident interest of Austria."
