This was coming on fotalisq, so soon as Parliament should reassemble, and it a most interesting point. Ike admitted the extra ordinary responsibility thrown en the government on that occasion ; and he was now speaking as one of themselves, for ho was not in the - secrets of the government. Let them suppose the publication of the despatch ; would it have restored public confi dence—was there really anything very reassuring in it ? It was a plausible, cleverly written des patch, but it contained not a word about giving up the prisoners. But let them suppose again that the despatch had been published, and the prisoners re tained by the American government, would not the government of this country have been execrated for having thrown the people into a fool's paradise and led them to believe they would remain at peace when war would have ensued? This to his mind was a complete answer to any of the attacks which had been and are about to be made on the Government for not having taken public notice of that despatch. (Cheers.) His lordship, in conclusion, reviewed the steps which had been taken by the Government in the formation of the Royal Naval Reserve, which now consisted of 9,000 men, and said he had no doubt that in the course of a year or two the utmost limit of the Parliamentary vote would have been reached. To give some idea of the extent and importance of this organisation, he stated that if required the Government could man 27 line-of battle ships with the men of whom the force con sisted.

P,IGET 111. P., AT DEAL, On Saturday evening the members for Sandwich, Lord Clarence Paget (Secretary for the Admiralty) and Mr. E. Knatchbull-Hugessen, addressed their constituents in the Tavvn,hal I, Deal. Lord CLARENCE PAGET, after adverting to the death of the late Prince Consort, and comparing the state of this country with that of the rest of Europe, proceeded to refer to the American ques tion, Having touched upon the affair of the Trent, and commented upon the course Government had pursued regarding it, he said we were, at the period at which the seizure of the Trent became known, entirely unprepared, as he might say, for war; but the people of England had determined to maintain their rights, and they had a Govern ment jealous of the national honour, and fully re solved to do their country justice. But no Govern ment could have done what had been done by the present Government without being backed by the unanimous opinion of the country, and they would see how this had become manifest. (Hear, hear.) The first thing necessary was to despatch a vast body of troops to defend our loyal colony of Canada ; but it was no easy job to send fromlo,ooo to 11,000 men across the Atlantic in the middle of winter. The Government knew the energetic people they had to deal with, and that it would,be necessary not only to get our army across to Canada, but to get there in the shortest space of time pos sible, Now, what happencdP Every great ship ping company came to the Admiralty to offer their vessels, neither stipulating or asking for anything. " Here," said they, " are our steamers ; take what you like, and pay us what you like." The railway companies came forward saying, "Let us know where 'you want to send ;troops ; we will give up our line to the conveyance of troops alone ;" and all the authorities at the ports were as eager and anxious for the success of the expedition as the Go vernment itself, Herein lay the strength of Eng land—the readiness of her people to co-operate with the Government in the hour when their rights were to be maintained. This was a strength nothing could resist. (Cheers.) What followed would form, he believed, an episode in the history of the nation. Ten days after the Government ar rived at the decision to strengthen our army in Canada, the first troops embarked, and at the end of three weeks every soldier was on his way. And it was not merely throwing a body of troops on board ship with muskets on their backs ; the whole paraphernalia of war had to be prepared, waggons, ambulances, commissariat, horses, and everything complete, and the army was ready to go into a campaign immediately it stepped foot on Canada. It was followed by the provisions and re lays required to follow up an army; so that the wbole organisation and equipment of the body of men sent to Canada was completed in this country, and this, he thought, was an episode that would not soon be forgotten. It was also incumbent on the govern ment to reinforce our fleet, and they had seen by the newspapers that it had been necessary to send large reinforcements across the Atlantic. In the course of three weeks the squadron on the coast of North America had been more than doubled. The reinforcements consisted of twelve heavy frigates, and the frigates of the day were enormous ships, larger than anything which existed in former days, and were the perfect panoply of war. It was not only requisite that we should reinforce largely from other stations, but we likewise had to commission a quantity of ships. He saw many naval officers and seafaring men around him, and he asked them to listen to this, and to remember that this was with out drawing at all on our reserve. All who watched the movements of the navy knew that the difficulties of manning a ship had beer. proverbial. A line-of battle ship had often been five or six months fitting out, and he had seen reports of cases in which there had been four, five, or six months' delay dependent on obtaining a pleasant captain. (Laughter.) But this was what occurred. On the 2d November the Phaeton was commissioned at Sheerness. She was a magnificent 50 gun frigate, a line-of-battle ship in disguise, and carried 500 or 600 men ; and she left for Spithead on the 7th, five days afterwards, fully manned, and ready to go across the Atlantic. The Orlando, a still larger frigate, the largest in the navy, was commissioned at Devonport on the 17th December, and on the 24th she sailed for Hali fax fully manned ; and the Shannon, which was commissioned on the 17th January, was ready for service on the 22d. He told them these facts, not in a boastful spirit, but because he knew it would please them to learn that this country was in a state of preparation in the event of her being called on at any time to arm herself. At this moment we had three or four frigates' crews ready to go on board to-morrow if wanted ; and to what was it due ? On this he must be suffered to moralise a moment, especially as he saw a great many of his friends, the boatmen of Deal, were present. For a great many years considerable prejudice had existed against the navy. The merchant seaman had supposed that if he went on board a man-of-war he was committing himself to a hell afloat, from which the sooner he could escape the better. That had been the opinion of sailors generally ; but things were changed now. In consequence of the liberal policy by the country and parliament a state of things was being brought about which caused the seamen to regard the nary as a boon instead of a misery. The capability of effecting this reform was owing to the liberality of the country and of parliament. He could go to the House of Commons and ask for anything for the seaman, and his worthy colleague would corroborate what he said. There was another thing being attempted, too—organisa tion. The navy of this country had never had justice done it. The navy had wanted organisation wanted in the army. He asked them just as it was to remember the Crimean campaign, and the changes it had brought about. Now we were able to send 10,000 or 11,000 men to any part of the world equipped and ready for the field, and the same organisation was manifest in the navy. He had told them what had been done within the last month, and he thought he was justified in saying that the Government had done its duty to the coun try. He would also add, if he might be permitted, that he thought the Admiralty had done its duty to the country. (Hear, hear.) He could assure them of one thing—that the Government and the Admi ralty looked to the country's good opinion,and it was their earnest and highest desire to deserve it. He now wished to say a little further, if possible, about the American business. He had brought them to the point of despatching our troops and reinforc ing our squadron. In process of time the United States happily saw fit to accede to our moderaterab and just demands; and another trait hononie of boasting about it. 'We were to this country is, that there ha s been no sort thankful and grate ful to have avoided a war with a people who in had our hearts we always respect a nd love, b but een simpl were y, thankful without exultation. It s pared from a bloody we " God be praised, we ar e war ?" The governmen t was now threatened —and government was always threatened with something despa tch which was written b y M r. —with some very severe criticisms upon its con d uct in concealing a Seward to Mr. Adams, the American Mi n i s t er i n London, i n which despatch certain courteous terms were ma d e use of and assurances given of the friendly di s p o sition of the Ameri can ' governmen t . They had been told at a great many meeti ngs , an d by the press, that the government had acted un fairly to the commerce of this country in not mak• ing public that despatch. They had been told that if the government had published that despatch, instead of commerce being paralysed and insurances raised, and war risks, and he did not know what, there would have been a return to the ordinary course of traffic have risen, and trade, that the funds would and public calm have been restored. This sounded very plausible ; but would anyone who read that despatch carefully venture to say Mr. GREEN submitted the following resolution, which was seconded by Captain Sayer, and carried unanimously :—" That the thanks of the country are due to Lord Palmerston and her Majesty's Ministers for the prompt , and judicious measures whereby our flag has been maintained inviolate, and an honourable peace secured." A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the proceedings. TILE RIVAL AIifE.RICAN WAR VISSELS AT SOUT.HAMPTON. SOUHAMPTON, JAN. 25. The Confederate war steamer Nashville and the Federal man-of-war Tuscarora are considered almost to belong to our port, so long have they been here and so long apparently are they likely to stay. The Nashville is still in the dock and the Tuscarora lies just outside. A night or two ago a collision took place at a beershop in French-street, between 1.5 of the crew of the Nashville and two of the crew of the Tuscarora. Some blows were struck and a pistol was drawn, which fortunately missed fire, or life would probably have been lost. The police were called in, and to avoid being captured both Federals and Confederates beat a precipitate retreat. At the Southampton Club several officers belonging to both ships have been introduced as visitors by different members, and against the entries of several names on the visitors book are to be seen " C.S.S. Nash ville " and " U.S.N. Tuscarora." The Tuscarora is away from America for a two years' cruise, and it is very evident that her mission is to look after the Nashville and nothing else. It is continually asked why does not the Nashville leave Southamp ton, by getting, it is said, her 24 hours' start of the Tuscarora, for being much faster than the latter she could not be overtaken. But the difficulty with the Nashville is to got her 42 hours's start. She is watched night and day by the Tuscarora, the captain of which never leaves his ship ; any signs of getting up steam on board the Nashville can im mediately be detected on board the Federal steamer, and she is prepared to move and claim the priority of starting. They both may keep on successively moving and stopping in the neutral waters, and thus edge out towards the sea, but nothing can prevent the Tuscarora, if a good look-out is kept on board of her, from hindering the Nashville getting the start. Her Majesty's frigate Dauntless, which is keeping watch over both ships, would not care if the two were to leave simultaneously ; all that she would have to do in such a case would be to prevent their fighting before they got fairly out to sea. In the Army and Nary Gazette of the 18th it was stated that the Tuscarora in one of her trips out of Southampton Water had anchored off Osborne, and that the commander-in-chief of Portsmouth had ordered her away. Captain Craven, the com mander of the Tuscarora, has written to the com mander--in-chief on the subject, and it appears that one day the Semaphore man at Portsmouth reported that the Tuscarora was anchored off her Majesty's residence. The commander-in-chief immediately ordered his flag captain to desire Captain Craven to remove his ship. In a very few minutes, how ever, after this, and before the flag captain left the dockyard, the Semaphore man reported that he had made a mistake, and that it was not the Tuscarora that was anchored off Osborne, but her Majesty's ship Vigilant. On the day when this happened the Tuscarora did not leave Southampton Water. ?HE CHINESE INDE211N111: It will be remembered that one of the conditions on which peace was concluded with China at the close of the last war was, that a sum of money equivalent to £200,000 sterling, should be paid by the Chinese Government to the families of the men who were treacherously seized by the Chinese under an armistice, and either barbarously murdered or else shockingly ill treated. The names of Anderson, 1)e Norman, Bowlby, and others, will at once occur to our readers. The French papers lately announced that the amount of this " blood money " allocated to their countrymen who, along with our own, fell into the Chinese trap, had been duly apportioned. We are happy to learn that the English portion has also been paid to the amount of about £93,000, and that it is now being distributed in the following propor tions:—To the legal representative of Capt. Brabazon, of the Royal Artillery, £15,000. This officer was specially selected by Brigadier Crofton for the post of deputy assistant quartermaster-general. Ho was the author of an excellent work, " Soldiers and their Service," and.up to the day upon which he gallantly volunteered to accompany Mr. Loch to the Chinese lines ho was regarded by the heads of the expedition, both English and French, as one of the most valuable officers of a staff in itself singu larly efficient. He was decapitated, but his body, long sought for by his father, who has lately re turned from China, has never been discovered. To the legal representatives of Messrs. De Norman and Anderson the sum of £15,000 each. To the legal representative of Mr. Bowlby, the 2 Imes correspon dent, the sum of £15,000. To the legal represen tatives of Private Phipps, Ist Dragoon Guards, £2,400. To the families of the eight Sikhs who were murdered, £12,000. To Messrs. Parkes and £lB,OOO each. Both these gentlem en were stwheeyre were subjected o u t n o d t f h o er manygr o ss e d s a t y s i d theiri g i t i f e a s e e ; imprisoned at Peki n , continually visited by rub bed in the dust , they were ki;cheadn,a btehaetven who invariably t o l d them that the first w a e r n e d ot h erw ise brutally maltreat e d , g liw u lla n nilg f e r - o k m i' the allied forces would be the signal for their death. The Sikh s who were subjected to ill treatment, but who were returned alive, will also receive a handsome portion of the indemnity. THE SCREW STEAMER VICTORIA.—The Queens town correspondent of Saunders's Neu's, in reference to the return of the vessel, says :—" The troops which left this country for Canada in the earlypart of the month have been unfortunate in their voyages, for of the four steamships which put to sea two have already returned after much suf fering. The screw steamer Mauritius left on the 2d inst., with the Ist battalion of the 15th Regiment and the sth battery of the Sth Brigade of the Royal Artillery. The screw steamer Adelaide sailed in two days after with an other portion of the 15th Regiment. The screw steamer Victoria followed on the Ist inst., with the right wing of the 96th Regiment and a number of horses; and in two days after the screw steamer Calcutta steamed out of the harbour with 44 officers and 630 men of the 96th Regiment, Royal Artillery, and Hospital Corps. The Adelaide, as is already known, put into Plymouth on the 15th inst., having been 11 days at sea ; and on Tuesday, at 10 o'clock, the Victoria returned into Cork harbour after an absence of 15 days, during which time the troops suffered severely in the storm they met with, the vessel having had her decks swept, by which she lost her boats, and the horses belonging to the troops having been killed in the to ssin g of. the ship.

INDIA AND CHINA. By the arrival of the Calcutta mail we have re ceived our private correspondence and files of papers from Calcutta to the 23d December, and from Hongkong to the 15th of December. There is not much of importance in the news from Calcutta. We take the following from the Bengal Hurkaru of Dec. 24 : " The Bengal Chamber of Commerce has recorded a minute on the death of Lieutenant-Colonel Baird Smith, in which they express their sincere regret for his loss, as well as admiration for the eminent talents with which the deceased officer was endowed- Mr. Laing, our financial minister, is now busily engaged in carrying out the organisation of the cur rency scheme, which comes into operation in Feb ruary or March next. Although slightly indisposed on his return to Calcutta he is now, we are glad to say, perfectly restored to health. All look upon him as the only man able to complete these great finan cial reforms which were inaugurated under the aus pices of the much lamented Mr. Wilson, and which he has so successfully done up to the present moment. Mr. Laing, however, quits India for ever in May next, and some anxiety is felt by the public at the long interval likely to occur before a competent person will be appointed from home to succeed him, and the irretrievable confusion in which our finan cial affairs may in the meantime be reduced once more by the temporary appointment of a civi lian financier. The chief commissionership of the amalgamated Central Provinces has been conferred upon Colonel Elliott, instead of Mr. R, Temple, as was at one time expected. Major Spence is to be Commissioner of Nagpore, and Major Snow has a chance of obtaining another pro vincial commissionership. Mr. Perkins is likely to be secretary to the Chief Commissioner, and Major Shakespear, it is reported, will be appointed Deputy-Commissioner of Chindwarra. The British Indian Association have addressed a letter to the Bengal Government with regard to the prevalence of a dangerous epidemic in some of the populous villages in the districts of Hooghly and in Baraset, praying the Lieut.-Governor to adopt speedier measures of relief for the mitigation of the disease. The villages most affected by it are Tribany, Halis howar,Kutchraparah,and Godulparra, in Hooghly, on the one side, and the villages in and about Ba raset on the other. The mortality is described as fearful. Whole families have been swept away by the disease. In one village alone 400 individuals have died in the course of two months. The epi demic is of a typhoid kind, and as the poor inhabi tants are without any medicine or proper medical aid, they easily fall victims to the same. The death of Lieutenant Singer, who was murdered at Now gong not long ago, has been avenged. Twenty of the rioters have been shot, and 200 have been made prisoners." letter of the new treaty has just been coolly violated by our own nation in the passing of a Chinese anti immigration bill through both houses of the Sydney Legislature. This will not be a very graceful piece of information for Mr. Bruce to communicate to Prince Kung in this early stage of their friendship. Were our plenipotentiary to meet with the fate of Su-shun, whose decapitation we recorded a fortnight ago, we would think Prince Kung rather a vigorous man, and not so unjust as our countrymen of Lamb ing Flat distinction. This proceeding on the part of the Sydney legislature puts us all so thoroughly in the wrong, that we shall soon lose what little self-respect our dealings with the Chinese have left us. The communication by sea with Newchwang and Tientsin will soon be closed up by ice ; but as was the case last year, an overland route will be opened between Chefoo and Tien-tsin, for letters only. A similar route will c.3nnect Newchwang with Ta lien-wan. The intelligence from the Yang-tsze river con tinues to be satisfactory ; and at Hankow, the ex treme port in the interior, all was going on smoothly according to the latest accounts. The steamboat traffic on the river promises an immense increase in the ensuing year. The alarm caused by the proximity of the rebels to Shanghae withdrawn , and those dreaded bands have molesting the city; they has without t a h t o e u abated, were as near as three miles, and the smoke of burn ing townships and cottages that marks their move ments was visible from Shanghae. Bat at Ningpo the panic arising from the same cause has not altogether abated ; all who could had fled away, and by the last accounts the place was almost deserted. The foreign residents consider that they will not be molested, and most likely they are right ; if nothing else secures them, the high position of Mr. Roberts in the rebel camp may act as a protection to their persons if not to their goods. The business that required the presence of Mr. Harry Parkes at Shanghae, just as he was on the point of embarking for England, has not yet trans pired; but there is little doubt it has some connec tion with the rebels, and that he has proceeded to Nanking for the purpose of obtaining a thorough to the places in asW e are supposed to n w n h d i e e r h st E an u d ro in p g eau w e it e h re th re e ei c d b en ie t f . s demand the same freedom from molestation in carry. as we now receive ingfro on mth t e ra l d m e p f e r r o i m ali t s h ts e ; in a s n u d rg it en is ts justly enough sur mised that the business of Mr. Parkes ie to make English fully known that we shall resent any interference as promptly in their case as in that of their oppo nents.morethan this in proportion as diplomacy ma y d eman d Perhaps the rebels grow weak, but at present they are sufficiently formidable to make us respectful, and even fair, in our require ments ; at the same time the civil war in China is not in a condition for us to throw the weight of English influence into either scale. When the mo ment arrives, we shall have tne" cause of humanity" plea ready for use; and one thing is certain, that if this plea is ever to be urged in favour of interven tion, it would be more becoming to urge it now, when the devastation isspreading, than afterwards, when the rebel cause shall have exhausted its force. From the other ports we have no intelligence of importance. . At Manilla matters are quiet, some of the Cus toms grievances having been ameliorated. Canton, since its restoration into Chinese hands, has begun to resume some of its old importance. The rebuilding of houses is proceeding at a great rate. The emigration offices at Cant . = are receiving numerous applications from Chinese desirous of trying their fortune at Demerara. The men come voluntarily to the agents, at the rate of about 40 per diem, and no kind of canvassing is required. The cold weather is setting in.

The ship Moravian, 968 tons register, Commander William Edward, belonging to Messrs. George Thompson, jun., and Co., of St. Helen's-place, Lon don, 66 days from land to land, or 69 from Mel bourne, is gone up Channel, bound for the Thames. She left Port Phillip November 17th, got clear of Bass's Straits on the 20th, sighted Campbell's Island on the 25th, rounded Cape Morn, December 12, crossed the line on the 2d January, 1862, and cleared the North Tropics on the 9th. The Moravian brings 16 passengers, among whom are Mr. 'and Mrs. Sando, Misses Bunce, and Messrs. Trebor, M'Kenzie, and M'Donald. Her gold freight is 50,000 ounces, valued at £200,000, and the cargo includes 2,844 bales of wool. The following ships left Melbourne on the 17th November, with the Moravian, and continued in company until the 20th, when they separated on clearing Bass's Straits, viz. :—The Monarch, 1,283 tons, Capt. J. W. Gill, belonging to Messrs. Green, which has 42,558 ounces gold dust, and 1,601 bales of wool ; the Indemnity, 653 tons, Capt. B. Sayers, belonging to Mr. Vickerman, with 12,448 ounces of gold; the Cluthia, of Glasgow, Capt. W. Wilson, belonging to Messrs. Potter and Co., with 22,660 ounces ; and the Transatlantic. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. The business in imports, both here and at the North, except at Tientsin, is in a remarkably dull state, and we have vary little indeed to report. In exports, however, trade has been brisk; in green teas (for the States) and raw silk at Shanghae, and in teas at Fuhchau. At the latter port some 71 million pounds are waiting shipment for lack of tonnage, of which one-third is for America, the balance for Great Britain. From Tientsin, Nov. 27, we learn that a very fair amount of business has been done, the sales of grey shirtings being 36,000 pieces, and of white and spotted 7,000, T cloths 9.000, and American goods 4,500. Other manufactures have shared in propoi tion. The trade, however, must soon close, as during the winter months the ice prevents all communi cation by sea with the port. At Newchwang the sales to Nov. 16 are reported at only 10,000 pieces grey shiritings, 4,500 T cloths, and 1,000 American drills. Hankow, Nov. 27.—1 n imports nothing doing, but teas brisk. The stock, however, is said to be nearly exhausted. A large tusiness is likely to be done at this port during next year. TEE CAPE 01 GOOD HOPE. PLYMOUTH, SATURDAY.

An important meeting, called by Lord Llanover, was held at Abergavenny on Thursday afternoon for the purpose of meeting the Government Inspec tors of Salmon Fisheries, and consulting with them as to the best means of carrying out the new Salmon Fisheries Act. The commissioners present were Mr. Mr. Ffennell and Mr. Eden, and the chair was taken by Lord Llanover. Mr. Ffennell addressed the meeting at great length, and stated that at pre vious meetings of parsons interested in salmon fish eries in England and Wales communications had been made pointing out in what respect it was con sidered the new act required amendment, such as licensing all nets and engines for taking fish, em powering conservators to pass along the banks of rivers, and other deficiencies in the act, which it was hoped Government would supply in an amended bill. Having recently inspected the river Usk, he spoke highly of the means which had been taken in that river to improve the fisheries, and said that of the three principal rivers which formed the Bristol Channel the Usk stood first in respect of the protection afforded to tha fish, the Severn next, and the \Vye third. This had been done almost entirely by subscriptions raised among the residents on the upper portions of the river, and Mr. Ffennell con sidered it unjust that while the tidal fisheries reaped the greatest benefit from their exertions they contri buted comparatively little to them. This would be equalised if all engines and nets were licensed. Lord Llanover, after thanking the commissioners for their attendance, said he had watched the bill with much interest in its progress through Parliament, and he considered that the bill, as first introduced into the Legislature, was a much better bill than when it came out. The original bill had been based on the Irish Salmon Fisheries Bill, which had been so valuable in improving the salmon fisheries of Ire land. His lordship pointed out in what respects he considered the new English Bill deficient, and advo cated the licensing system, and the giving of con servators or watchers power to go on land by river sides. No one, he added, could have looked upon the act of last year as final ; it was exceedingly crude, and was so framed that it was absolutely ne cessary there should be an amended act. His lord ship suggested that the leading gentlemen who had on the principal salmon streams taken a deep in terest in the question should meet together and join in adopting such recommendations for an amended act as they thought advisable. This course was approved, and the proceedings terminated. RIOTS IN NEWFOUNDLAND.—ST. JOHN'S, lan. 8. —An extensive riot took place at Carbonear yesterday. Some 12 or 14'persons were shot, but none killed outright. Troops were sent from here at midnight to preserve order. The rioters did not injure the telegraph wires. Jan. 9. The parties at Carbonear are kept down by the military. The town is in a state of siege. Business is suspended. There and at Harbour Grace both parties are largely rein forced. Hostilities will commence the moment the troops are withdrawn. A magistrate was shot on Tuesday, but IRA dangerously. The whole trouble grew out of a quarrel be tween the Catholics and the Protestants. Jan. 10.—The excitement at Carbonear is intense and increasing. Sever!' stores were broken into last night, and arms and ammuni tion abstracted. Reinforcements are still arriving. It Is doubtful if the military will be able to prevent a collision much longer.

CHINA. The following is from the China Mail of Dec. 14 : The news for the past fortnight is of an encouraging kind, both as regards China and Japan. In the lat ter country, both foreign and native officials are showing the most anxious desire to avoid every kind of hostile collision between the people of Japan and the traders from the West; and in furtherance of this object, rules of the most specific character have been framed by our minister there for the guidance of English subjects at the various ports of trade. The Japanese question has, in Mr. Alcock's mind, reduced itself to a choice of two courses. He argues, in one of his ponderous circulars, that our object in Japan is to trade, and that we have before us the choice either of trading peacefully or of doing so amid continual alarms and complications, which have been found to endanger our very residence in the country, and thereby to give a highly preca rious character to our commercial relations with Japan. It is, he argues, when traders begin to be travellers that the popular hostility is evoked ; and although he should gladly allow those under his protection both to trade and travel, he cannot do so any longer, having arrived at the conclusion that, in Japan, as regards foreigners, the one is incom patible with the other. The strictest rules have ac cordingly been decreed by our consul for the con finement of all his countrymen within the limits of the various foreign settlements. Excursionists, sportsmen, and men of similar kidney, will there fore follow their favourite pursuits under most un usual difficulties, in order that every species of pro vocation may be taken out of the way, and such cases as that of Mr. Moss may not recur to harass the officials as this case is likely to harass Mr. Alcock, unless a jury can be got to see it in the de sired light. As regards excursions into the country producing feelings of resentment on the part of the Japanese people, Mr. Alcock has had more personal experience than any man in Japan, and certain other of the consuls have acquired a most unen viable notoriety by the scandalous incidents connected with their travels. The night attack upon the embassy at Yeddo, after the overland journey from Nagasaki, is now generally read in this light. The upshot of these consular escapades has been the rules and regulations we allude to — ten in all. They are in effect :-1, Against furious driving or riding. 2, Against neglecting the rules of the road. 3. Against discharging firearms in any but specified limits, to be hereafter fixed by the joint authorities. 4. Against pursuing game with out a license from the consul. 5. Against entering any native house without an invitation (a flattering rule for Englishmen). 6. Against offering violence to Japanese officials (the Moss case). 7. Against persisting in any outrage after being warned to desist (the consular scandal case), or refusing to produce a card with the consular seal affixed, when charged with the commission of any offence; the card being supplied to every Englishman for the convenience of affirming " his identity." 8. Against residing for even a single night out of the foreign location, without written permission from the con sul. 9. Imposes a fine of 200 doll. for a breach of these rules. 10. Imposes a similar fine for allowing Chinese servants to ride out alone. In addition to these rules, a communication from Takemoto. dzosioeno Kami has been promulgated, illustrated by engravings, setting forth the particular marks of costume by which a Japanese official may be known etid respected (also a result of the Moss dis turbance). Then follows a rule against servants going out with open lights, and so endangering such buildings as are not fire proof. And lastly appears a memorandum from the Japanese official above named, forbidding the native merchants to take money from foreigners until they have given over the value agreed upon. The notifications are published in the Japan _Herald of Yokuhama (late Nagasaki Shipping List). Our advices from Peking are up to November 26th, at which date all was quiet, and the inter course between the native and foreign authorities proceeding in a most satisfactory manner. Mr. Bruce had quite recovered from the effects of his late fall, noticed in our last summary of news.
