The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief predented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found In the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec.

Mr. John Walkingshaw, Mining Engineer to the Ebbw Vale Company, in Dean Forest, estimates the produce of the Moseley Green Coal Field at 6,520,585 tons of coals, and says : " If let on the low Royalty of One Shilling per ton, it would produce £326,479 ss. ; but it would be a great deal more valu able to work the Coal and send it into the market." It is proposed in the first instance to work the upper seam ; this is so near the surface that the expense of sinking the pit, erecting machinery, and winning the coal, is estimated not to exceed £5,000, and can be accomplished in six months, and a return on the capital thus expended may be confidently relied on at the end of twelve months.

It was never quite an Alp, but even within the reach of human tradi tion it is said to have been a goodly peak. The tourist who explores that cavernous district still pauses to gaze and wonder at the mass of rubble into -which that shivered mountain has fallen. It was not split into fragments by any tremendous volcanic explosion ; no riven rocks or large boul•iers lie about ; there is nothing grand or picturesque in the ruin. Some internal weakness seem to have ope rated to destroy the cohesion of all the constituent atoms of that towering sham. Operated upon by no force which had any effect upon the limestone rocks around, yielding to some in fluence scarcely greater than that of the ordinary attraction of gravitation, one day it began to crumble and dissolve ; and now it lies choking the valley, a prostrate mass of mud—like that Bourbon Sovereignty which yesterday raised its head so high in Naples and Sicily, and to-day crumbles without a touch at the mere menace of an insurgent chief. Such events, at rare intervals, do happen both in physics and in morals, but never without their causes more or less occult, and never without our special wonder. The passing away of the Kingdom of Naples is like a story of magic. It is not less wonderful than those tales which amused our childhood, wherein we were told of castles with horrible guardians and dreadful dungeons, which endured in their tyrannous power for ages, echoing to the moans of daring knights, but which in a moment vanished into thin air when the destined champion blew his blast. Translate the wildest of these stories into natural language, and we shall read no more than we may read in that great European event which has passed before our eyes during the last fortnight. Garibaldi is a skilful soldier and an adventurous leader, but he has not conquered Naples. Even Garibaldi cannot conquer kingdoms by hurrying along a little army at the rate of forty-five miles a day in postchaises. Even Garibaldi does not take a city by entering it alone in a railway carriage. This is not war or conquest. It is the operation of a natural law. It is a sort of political chymistry. You may see it at any mechanics' institute. The lecturer will show you some compound substance in solution ; then he will pour in some third substance for which one of the constituents of the compound substance has a greater preference, or chymical affinity, than it has for its present mate. At once, and without hesitation and conflict, down goes the rejected constituent to the bottom of the glass, or up it flies in gas, and the two new sub stances combine and coalesce, happy in their new form of matter, and, without further care for the heavy powder that lies at the bottom, or for the light gas which has bubbled off from the surface. This is the sort of natural operation which has taken place at Naples. There was, it seems, no strong affinity between Francis 11. and even those soldiers and sailors who were part of his general system. Even they, by a foice of instinct they could not resist, were drawn away towards that much less pompons personage whom Mr. Edwin James saw in his red shirt, dirty jean trousers, and worn out boots, combing his long thin hair at the glass in a little bedroom. This was the fated man against whom the fleets and armies of the Sovereign of Naples were without power. The wretched King, at the approach of this enemy, felt like a man in a dream whose arm will not obey his will and who cannot strike a blow for his life. The moment was come to join battle with the ragged bands of this half-clad Filibuster, and there was a well•clad, well armed, and well-provisioned army and navy, which might have made a holiday of such a work. But that army and navy are but a phantasy. The Ad mirals come most respectfully to say that the sea men will not fight against Garibaldi. The Generals follow, and are most loyal in their desires, but they are sure that if they lead their men into the field they will all go over to Garibaldi. The National Guard come next, and their loyalty is such that they shed tears at the Royal distresses, but they cannot fight against Garibaldi. And so Francis 11., with all the semblance of strength around him, stood without the proffer of a single sword and without power over the action of a single soldier. His police agents, his gaolers, his spies, his tor turers all slunk away, hiding themselves from the great indignation. Nothing was faithful to him on that day but one holy mountebank, who even to the last played his blasphemous juggleries with some effect. A "sweating Virgin" produced a grotesque Babel of wailing and lamentations in Naples among crowds who cared nothing for the fall of their young King. But the time was gone by when the popular tide could be turned by such a trick as this. The King, after lingering in vain, and look ing vainly into every eye for some encouragement to remain, departed ; the " sweating Virgin " was wiped dry, and Garibaldi came in by the railway train. This ought to be a lesson to Sovereigns who have not yet arrived at the crisis of that disease which has proved so fatal to monarchs. No k;ng or emperor in Europe can be at this moment re ceiving stronger assurances of the discipline and loyalty of his fleet and army than were daily pressed upsn Francis of Naples by his admirals and his generals. No minister who now counsels a reigning Prince could be more certain of the soli dity of the throne at the foot a which he stands then were the ministers who encouraged Francis of Naples to reject with contumely 'the advice of the nations which were scandalized by his ill govern ment. No `priests . who now suggcst to reigning Princes " energetic" deeds in service of Holy Church were more profuse of promiKs of impunity and protection in the course they Counselled than were they who directed the conduct of the refugee who has just gone to seek an asylum from the Queen of Spain. He seemed to have a right to say, as he doubtless did say," What fear ? The law of nations preserves me against the great Powers, and, to the scum of the population of Italy, I have well appointed armies and ships. The Church up holds me ; lam right, and lam safe." This ap peared so when England and' France were impor tunate in their remonstrances. The shadow of one man, however, falls upon this edifice of substantial power, and it dissolves. The ministers take to flight, the :men of war shamelessly contradict all their former assertions, and the Church ungrate fully contributes friars and priests armed with pikes to the ranks of his enemies, and can aid him with nothing more efficacious than a " sweating Virgin." Thus it happened to the King of Naples ; and thus may it again happen wherever a sovereign shall be found incorrigibly bent upon exercising his power in cruelty under the direction of an in sensate and tyrannical priesthood.—Timea. TILE WAR IN CHINA. (From the Special Correspondent of the Times.) SHANGHAI, JULY 5. The whole British force has reached the rendezvous at Ta-lien-hwan. No casualty whatever occurred among the large fleet of men. of-war and transports, save that one of the latter, the merchantmen, ran ashore in a fog and escaped without damage. The Centaur, which I reported to have grounded in the river through the carelessness of a pilot, got off in two days without injury. Let us hope that no long time will elapse before the combined expedition sails for the Peiho. The Mandarins have driven all flocks and herds into the interior, and no fresh meat, and few supplies, can be procured for the large British force which only waits the signal for action. Up to this moment no blow has been struck, no blockade enforced, no hostile mea sures taken against "the enemy," since the 25th of June, 1859. When the news of the disaster at the Taku Forts first reached England it was felt that the intermittent state of peace and war which had lasted since 1840 must cease, and for ever. Well did the Duke, apropos of this very Chinese question, declare the impossibility of England's engaging in a little war. Regardless of his advice, our Government waged one little war after another, first nibbling at one ex tremity and then at another of this enormous empire, sub duing a town or occupying an island, but never even at tempting to reach the capital, until Lord Elgin's " happy audacity" carried him to Tien-tsin in 1858. But the force which accompanied him was small, and made no impres sion on the old Tory party now ruling supreme at the seat of Government. They did not believe in our power, and determined to disregard the treaty and prevent the Eng lish Ambassador's arrival at Pekin. how they succeeded for the moment at the Taku Torts last year is matter of history. _ _ _ Various plans were suggested for bringing the Chinese Emperor to reason. In 1842 Lord Gough sailed up the Yang-tso, took Chingkeang-foo, occupied the Grand Canal, cut off the supplies of grain from Pekin, and advanced to Nankin, which he was about to assault. In order to save the ancient capital of China, and restore communication with the south, the Imperial Court (tame to terms, and the treaty of Nankin was signed. Here was a precedent to follow, a policy to pursue. That course which succeeded in 1842 could never be wrong 18 years later. Alas I the legis lator who advocated th;s hopeful scheme forgot that Nankin had been in the possession of rebels since 1853, and that the occupation so anxiously contended for would bo the greatest service we could render to the Emperor. Then Nature has anticipated us at the Grand Canal. In 1851 the Yellow River,.which had long threatened this splendid monument of Chinese skill and perseverance, burst its embankments in the province of Shangtung, and destroyed the canal for a considerable distance. This disaster occurred some two hundred miles north of Napkin. Tll♦canal has never been repaired, and the enormous traffic between the Yang-tse and Pekin is now transferred to the dangerous Yellow Soa and the treacherous Gulf of Pechele. So much for the pre cedent of 1842. Another suggestion—supported, I believe, by her Ma jesty's Government—was to divide China into two districts, north and south, the Yang-tse forming the line of partition. In the southern division are all the ports at present opened to trade; Shanghai, Ningpo, Foochow, Amoy, Canton, and Swatow. Here it was proposed that business should be con tinued as usual, while the north should be declared in a state of blockade. At first sight this scheme seems plausible enough, but it is open to many, and, in my opinion, fatal objections. The Imperial answer to the allies' ultimatum was not received until early in Apiil, and no blockade could have been effected before the end of that month. By that time the whole of the grain junks from the south had arrived in the Peiho, and the supply of corn for the year was secured at Pekin. True it is that after that period enormous quan tities of rice and other produce are sent to the capital from Shanghai and Ningpo. The Shanghai Chamber of Com merce reported to Mr. Bruce that this trade afforded em ployment for no less than 3,000 or 4,000 junks, manned by 100,000 sailors, the capital invested in it being upwards of £7,000,000 sterling. All these junks and all this capital belong to inhabitants of this very southern district which it was thought desirable to spare, and the 100,000 sailors form part of the population with which we wish to trade and whom we are to consider as our very good friends. They would have been utterly ruined by a lengthened blockade, and might have caused serious disturbances at the six ports. Again, though we have hitherto had no trading relations with the 200,000,000 of human beings who inhabit the nor. thorn division of China, the treaty of Tien-tsin opens two ports in the district, and before long we may hope to till this enormous field which has so long lain fallow, and which offers such a prospect for merchant and manufacturer. While the south is a producing and exporting country, with a tropical climate and a soil teeming with vegetation, the wealth of the north mainly consists in timber, in metals, wool, oil, seed, &c. The south exports the necessaries of life, and the north receives and requires them in enormous quantities. In the north the winters are severe, and the inhabitants are compelled to wear the warmest clothing that can be procured. They bring manufactures from Nijni-Novgorod, thousands of miles across Siberia and Mongolia, though we, when the Tien-tsin treaty is ratified, can lay down the woollens of Bradford and Leeds at their very doors through the newly-opened ports of New-Chang and Tang-Chow. The proposed blockade would have in- Elided frightful sufferings on this harmless population while, as the year's grain supply was secured at Pekin, it would have produced no effect on the war party which now rules triumphant at the capital. Parcere subjectis et de bellars superbos should surely be our rule of conduct here. To blockade the coast for months before an effectual blow was struck would have only encouraged Sang-ko-lin-sin in his resistance, inspired the Mandarins with a belief in our weakness, and embittered the feelings of the people against us. So, as Mr. Bruce knew that the troops were on their way to China, he most wisely awaited their arrival and forebore from instituting a blockade. We are now ready to strike, and to strike hard. A resistance will certainly be made, and it is desirable that it should, for no peace would be lasting unless our prestige be first re-established. But there is every reason for thinking that the war will be short and decisive. Then, with the Mandarins humbled and the people spared, with our right asserted and our might made manifest, we may hope to dictate terms which will place the relations between the two countries on a satisfactary footing, and insure a lasting peace. We have accounts as to the number of men at the Taku forts. These reports have been received from various quarters, and they agree in estimating the Chinese force at not more than 25,000 men. As to the army at Tien-tsin and Pekin, there is no reliable information. The Russian Minister, General Ignatiaff, states that the Chinese autho rities do not believe we have an army, and are preparing for an attack from the fleet alone. As I have mentioned General Ignatieff's name, I may say that at an interview I had with him yesterday he alluded to the reports which prevailed in England after the Taku disaster last year, that Russians were in the batteries assisting the Chinese. He arrived at Pekin two days before the affair, having travelled post for the purpose of reaching the capital at the same time as Mr. Bruco. Almost immediately after his arrival he heard of our defeat, refused to believe it, and wrote to his Government, stating that the report must be false. Some four months afterwards he read letters in the Times which averred that the Russians co-operated with the Chinese. His first thought was to write to Admiral Hope upon the subject and assure him that there was not the slightest foundation for the statements ; but, seeing that the Times scouted the idea, he "felt satisfied that public opinion in England would be set right on the subject." I have made it my business to inquire, and I do not believe there is the least foundation for these reports. The Eng slow to confess it cou ld h ave b een lish navy was naturally defeated by the Chinamen alone. Men looked about into the origin of these reports for a cause, and an officer of Maxims declared that when within, 40 yards of the forts he The Chinese have succeeded in raising the Cormorant, sunk in the Peiho. They built a boat, into which they transferred the Cormorant's engines. But, alas ! they would not work, and no one could set them going. So Sang ho-lin-sin sent down four watchmakers from Pekin. "You are accustomed to machines," said he; "set that barbarian machine to work or I will cut off your heads." The un happy watchmakers succeeded in lighting the fires and in ducing the smoke to ascend through the funnel. This seems to have contented their taskmaster, for, though the engines are not working, we have no account of the watch makers' decapitation. The Emperor is in a state of drunken, helpless imbecility. Among the many curious institutions of China that of the Censorate is entitled to a high place. The Censors are in trusted with "the care of manners and customs, the inves tigation of all public offices within and without the capital, the discrimination between the good and bad performance of their business, and between the depravity and upright ness of the officers employed in them." These officers ex ercise the right of reproof with extraordinary candour and plainness, though it is to feared that their remonstrances are frequently unavailing. Some months ago the Censor protested against the conduct of the Emperor, against his drunkenness and dissipation, bas attachment to actors, and love of low society. This reproof to Majesty was published in the Pekin Gazette, and circulated throughout the length and breadth of the Empire. Shortly before his degradation, Ho-kwei-tsing, late Governor-General of this province, in conjunction with Wang-yu-ling, addressed a long memorial to the Emperor. They described in piteous terms the state of the d'strict, with the regular troops disbanded, the rebels x ictorious on every side, and Shanghai only preserved from assault by the presence of the allied forces. They then discussed the dispute between England and China with considerable freedom, and in a manner which might have convinced Mr. Bright that there are two sides to this Chinese question. Sang-ho-Pin-sing they denounce, as "only thinking of de fence, and not versed in the history of negotiations of peace. Wh'le the commerce of China with the foreigner is a source of advantage to both parties, these quarrels are, on the contrary, a source of discontent to both. That the foreigner has no deep felings of hostility is evinced by his affording troops to protect the city." They describe the trade as ruined, the customs' revenue not forthcoming, and the local banditti "roaming through the country eager to try conclusions." The only resource they have to suggest is in negotiation of peace vs 'About loss of time, so that the English and French may utterly put away hostile feeling. They wor'd then probably lend their troops, with whose aid the empire might be relieved from danger. This ad dress was foi warded on the 13th of June, since which poor Ho has been disgraced and remains at Shanghai a prisoner and in chains, awaiting the arrival of his successor, who wall send him to Pekin. There is no chance of this re monstrance being heeded. It requires blows, not words, to hammer conviction into the heads of the Pekin Cabinet. The rebels are making steady progress in this province. Indeed, there is no authority to oppose them They have taken the walled city of Tsing-poo, on the banks of the river, about 30 miles from Shanghai. Both Imperialists and rebels ravage and pillage the country in every direc tion ; but they will stay their hands before they reach Shanghai. The Europeans are too strong for them, and there is an armed force of some 2,000 men available for the defence of the settlement, independently of the Furious and one or two gunboats. Tho merchants of Shanghai yesterday presented Lord Elg 7 n with an address. His lordship, in his reply, abstains from discussing the line of policy to be pursued, but his reference to the large armaments sent by Engle-id end France, " with the intention of placing the relations be tween their countries and China upon a permanently peace ful and satisfactory footing," has peculiar significance at the present moment. His lordship's answer is as follows : , " Shanghai, July 5, 1860. " Gentlemen,--I have frequently on fez mer occasions, in the discharge of my duties in th , s country, availed myself of information furnished by you at my request ; and I am glad that at the present conjuncture you should have come spontaneously forward to communicate to me your views and sentiments in reference to matters in which you must necessarily feel the most lively interest. " Without departing from the reserve which it is my duty to maintain, I cannot, as you will no doubt at once perceive, discuss the questions of public policy which are raised in your address. I may, however, remark that the Govern ments of England and France have sent large armaments to this quarter with the intention of placing the relations between their countries and China upon a permanently peaceful and satisfactory footing ; and, as a first step to wards that end, with the immediate purpose of enforcing on the Pekin Court respect for the obligation of treaties. " It is highly creditable to your patriotic and public spirit that you should be willing, in your eapacity of merchants, to make any sacrifice which you may be required to bear in order to render this lesson effectual. " You refer with much delicacy, yet in language of which the import cannot be mistaken, to the confidence and esteem with which the conduct of her Majesty's Minister in China, under circumstances of great difficulty and trial, has in spired those who have had the best means of watching and appreciating it. This is a topic upon which, for many ob vious reasons, it is impossible for me to dilate. I may, however, state that his Excellency has placed unreservedly at my disposal all the information necessary to enable me to estimate rightly the present state of affairs in China, and that I believe there is no difference of opinion between us as to the course which ought to be pursued. " I have the honour to be, gentlemen, &c., " ELGIN AND KINCARDINE. "(True copy.) "H. HOPE CREALOCK, Lieutenant- Colonel, Military Secretary." Lord Elgin sails in the Ferozo to-day for the English rendezvous at Ta-lien-when, whence my next letter will be dated. Baron Gros takes his departure on board the Du Chayla to-morrow to join the French at Chefow. TA-LIEN-WHAN, JULY 12. This bay of Ta-lien-whan lies open to the south-east, and is completely landlocked in every other quarter. Fully nine miles in width and 15 or 16 in length it affords an excellent anchorage. There are no shoals, and the minimum depth is five fathoms. Morning is dawning as her Majesty's ship Feroze, with the ensign of the English Ambassador at the main, steams slowly past the islands which protect the entrance of this natural harbour. All eyes are on the look out for the fleet, and at length, far away to the west, we distinguish the Chesapeake, with the flag of Admiral Hope at the fore, while that of Admiral Jones floats from the mizen of the Imperieuse at the eastern angle of the bay. Fourteen thousand miles from home this splendid fleet lies, ready to assert the might and protect the right of England. By the aid of a good glass we make out 60 pen nants. Here is the stately Chesapeake, with her 51 guns. Under her lee, leashed in like hounds and waiting to be slipped, are the venomous little gunboats, ready for any mischief—the Slangy, Leven, Algerine, Kestrel, Janus, Clown, Woodcock, Drake, Watchful, Havock, Forester, Opossum, Starling, Firm, Staunch, Banterer, Bustard, Flamer, Bouncer, and Snap—stinging musquitoes cf the water—which will soon buzz about the Taku Forts. The Nimrod, Roebuck, Sparrowhawk, Reynard, Ringdove, Pioneer, and Beagle, of larger size and greater draught of water, pray for a good tide to take them over the Peiho bar, where more than one have old scores to settle with the Celes tial braves. The Chesapeake, Imperieuse, Pearl, Scout, Encounter, Cruiser, Ferooze, Sampson, Odin, Furious, Ma gicienne, Centaur, Sphynx, Inflexible, Fury, Cambrian, and Acteon are too large for the shallow coast of Pechele bay, but they will lend a hand with the boat expedition, and send their bluejackets to the naval brigade. Add the war troopships Simoom, Adventure, Vulcan, Urgent, and Iles per, and the steamers of the Bengal Gover.ament, and you have 60 pennants flying in the bay, besides 16 on detached service, and seven hospital and troopships at Hong Kong. 128 transports are waiting to convey the army and field. train to the scene of action, so that nearly 200 vessels can be counted from the cliffs. Admiral Hope anchored in the bay on the 25th of June and found the English expeditionary force assembled and ready for action. The 25th of June was the anniversary of the disaster at the Taku Forts last year, and bath Admiral and General would gladly have been before them again that day. But they could not advance without our allies, and the French were not prepared. They are not ready now, but have undertaken that before the 20th inst. they will name a time by which their preparations will be completed. Their men are doing all in their power to make up for lost time, but the end of the month will arrive before they aro in condition to start, and they will take the field with a much sma ller force than was anticipated. They brought out no ar tillery horses, and the ponies purchased in Japan and Manilla have never seen a gun. They have just been de spatched to Cb.efow, where every exertion is made to render them efficient as speedily as possible. Their gunboats were sent in pieces on board the transports. Some have turned up and are being put together, but many are still wanting. Now, let there be no mistake on this subject. The summer is waning fast, the time for prompt and immediate action has arrived, and yet our expeditionary force, which costs at least a million monthly, is lying idle at Ta-lien-Irwan. It could be embarked and sail to-morrow. It has been ready for days. The delay lies with the French, and with them alone. I readily admit the difficulties encountered by our allies at such a distance from here, and with no depots at Hong Kong and in India. I make eery allowance for the increase in difficulties from the loss of many of their tran sports. But the consequences of delay may be so serious, and the facts are so unquestionable, that I should fail in my duty did I omit to state them. This bay was intended as a rendezvous only. It was never imagined that the troops would disembark. When Sir Hope Grant saw we should be kept back for some weeks he determined at once to get men and horses out of the ships, and put the men under canvass. This was accordingly done, and the whole force—horse, foot, and artil lery—is now encamped on either side of the bay. The British expeditionary army to China is composed as follows : —Commander-in-Chief, Lieutenant-General Sir Hope Grant, K.C.B. ; Aides-de-Camp, Major the Hon. A.

Thesiger, 6th Inuiskillings, is his Aide-de- Camp,' and Lieut.-Colonel Walker, 2d Dragoon Guards, Deputy-Assistant- Quartermaster-General'of the Brigade. The effective force of this army consists of 6,357 British, and 2,173 Native Infantry, 1,012 Cavalry, 1,793 Artillery, 435 Engineers, and 286 Military Train ; making a total of 12,111 men. There are two batteries of Armstrong guns (12-pounders), three batteries (9. pounders), two and a-half Madras mountain batteries, and a siege train, consisting of light 32-pounders and 8 inch howitzers ; 1,689 horses are in camp, besides a number of ponies and bullocks. The first cliN;sion is encami - ed on the west, the second division, and the artillery, cavalry, and Land Transport, on the east side of the harbour. Looking over the hills which surround the bay, you can hardly believe that this is the farthest east. Approaching from the sea, the rocks rose high and precipitous, much like the cliffs of Freshwater. Ascending the bay the hills recede from the water, become terraced, and bear a striking resem blance to old friends on the west of Scotland—MO, for in stance. Sand and shingle form the beach en the western side. Between it and the hills is a large plateau, varying in width from two miles to ten. Mount the height, and undulating slopes neeetyour eye, scantily covered with short sweet grass and wild thyme. " The very place for a sheep walk," cries a friend, of no small experience. Merinos would be the thing hero, for they don't like your rich, fat herbage, but prefer taking a constitutional between meals. At the head of the bay and all along the promontory which forms the eastern side is a magnificent plain, well and care fully cultivated. The inhabitants are colonists from Shan tung, who have supplanted the lazy, thriftless Manchoos. Lord Elgin pronounces them the finest men he has seen in China. Many are six feet high, and stout in proportion.. Their husbandry is excellent. We see bearded wheat, bar ley, Indian corn, millet, beans, peas, carrots, turnips, yams, sweet potatoes, cabbages, and lettuce. The corn is in straight furrows, evidently sown in drills. The gardens contain apricots, peaches, nectarines, plums, pears, cherries, and small grapes, none of which are ripe, fortunately for the British soldier. Carnations, pinks, roses, and hollyhocks form part of the Manchoorian flora, and in the few hedge rows dog roses and honeysuckles abound, with forget-me nots and anemones. There are thistles enough to please even the most enthusiastic Scotchman, while such fami liar weeds as dandelions, dockens, and briers spring up in places which have eluded the care of the farmer. Foot paths intersect the fields, the swallow skims by, and the lark " can scarce get out his notes for joy" as we take our quiet evening walk. Small villages dot the plain in every direction. Near most of them is a clump of trees—fir, dwarf oak, willow, birch, poplar, acacia, walnut, and yew. There is but little game. A few pigeons have been potted, and one hare has been shot at by half the British army, but she is too quick for them. The cottages are good and substantial, built of large stones plastered over with mud mortar, and very well thatched with sea-weed. Each house contains two rooms, and a large sort of oven to warm the place in winter. Few agri eultu .7 , labourers in England are better lodged, but I fear our . i dustrious Chinaman pays little attention to cleanelinoo . cleanliness, for a villanous bad smell salutes you on entering the doorway. In a cottage occupied by Brigadier Petti e 'a orderly is a Chinese print, cut from the Illustrated. New s of the country, and posted on the wall. It represents the defeat of the "barbarians" B at the Taku fo rts. The raves are brave in deed, in all the glories of yellow ochre and bright vermili on. y f stands a v our bridge of a steamer, The "barbarians' " despair is depicted in every v ar i e t y of gloomy, sombre colohuirs fa s. Acedmbli g ar a ale l k la withlintorp vipoor ee s t B n n t i h Chi naman a ppreciates his sig nal on his men regardless of the shower of bullets most liberally bestowed upon him. The gunboat has a magnificent main top, into which a 32-pounder has been h o i sted. Its shot falls harmless among the Braves. Not so the guns from the fort: One of these is pointed on a cutter, containing two British naval and two military officers in full uniform. The shot streams full upon their faces, which exhibit the most curious expression of passive endurance. A regiment of Tartars--due to the imagination of the paiater—sabres the marines and blue jackets in the mud, while three man darins in a lofty chair of state look serenely upon the fight. It is a curious print to find, for we aro 600 miles from Pekin by land, and there is little or no trade. The climate is delicious. The thermometer in the shade has never exceeded 81, and a fine breeze springs up in the evening. August among the hills will give a fair idea of it. Captain Hand, in the Sampson, surveyed the bay last winter. There were 18 degrees of cold in the worst weather, but the north wind swept sharp and keen over the hills. The villages are peaceful, unarmed, and well disposed, though terribly frightened at seeing the large force. Soria after our arrival half a dozen of our fellows got into one of the villages, and during a " row" one of the peasants was accidentally shot. Next day three officers, ignorant of this, landed at the same village. They had re volvers in their belts, and the peasants attacked them, got them down, and took away their weapons. They then con ducted them to their boat without inflicting any injury. Sir Hope Grant the following morning sent an aide-de camp and interpreter to require them to give up the arms. This demand they at once complied with, explaining that they meant no harm, but, seeing three men armed, they feared a repetition of the scene of the previous day, and so thought it best to possess themselves of the pistols. Most stringent orders have been. issued by the Admiral and Gene ral against looting or annoying the people. These orders 'hate been well carried o'tt, and supplies are oensequelltlY -..i g rA r ) _!.... 4 74„_ ...„ ./17,f, , darins a in iteni'it.,'" ..,.---" and chin-,___ , ~,,_. They brought sheeVeggi,l fowls, and tea. Gen. Crofton received them most graciously, tried to dispel their fears, and gave them a bottle of sherry and anot her of brandy. They admired the wine-glasses so much thaVhey were added to the gift, and they went away rejoicing. Excellent springs of water have been found in Odin's Bay. The place is so safe and convenient, so near the Peiho and the scene of future operations, that the naval and military authorities have determined on making Ta lien-hwan a depot for stores, provisions, and munitions of war during the expedition. The Engineers are erecting two small forts to command the landing, and a battery of artillery, with some infantry, will remain behind in charge _ _ when we sail for the Peiho. Let us land and sec the camp of the first division. To the left of a rude jetty thrown out by our mcn are the tents of the Royal Engineers. They are busy directing Coolies at work sinking wells and obtaining a supply of water, which is more scarce here than on the other side. Turning b g t the ri g ht we come among the Royals—the wea k est regi ment of th e f orce, beinr, little more than 500 strong. Having garrisoned H ong Kon has produced • for nearly two years, the climate its usual effect. But the fine, brisk breeze from the b a y i s fast setting them right. A visible im provement has t a k en place, and their hospital list is sen sibly diminished. Their band is playing before a host of loungers, naval and military, and the men are lying about their tents enjoying their otitent after a hard day's work. The 31st are next to the Royals, and have the best camp in the army. Branches of fir-trees adorn their encamp ment, and the soldiers have made excellent walks between each row of tents, so that the place has all the air of being tenanted by old campaigners. The 31st is the strongest regiment in the force. Many of the men are volunteers from the 64th and other regiments distinguished during the Indian mutiny, and they evidently know how to make themselves comfortable. Half-an-hour's walk through the corn-fieldi bring us to the second battalion of the 60th Rifles, who are out for drill and exercise. Fine active fel lows are they as eye could desire to look on, quick and ready in their light infantry movements, and steady as a wall in marching. The Sikhs are on an eminence beyond them. They have just killed a goat and are cooking it for their evening meal. .Mirabile dicta ! not one of them has been up before the Provost-Marshal for looting. The 2d Queen's are to the extreme west of the camp, just on the borders of a large village where one of their sentries is stationed. Within pistol-shot of this man a peasant is pulling beans to sell in camp, and in every direction, except where the ground is wanted for manoeuvring, the crops are untouched and uninjured. We walk on and reach a large field of barley falling under the sickle, soon to be disposed of by its owner for the use of the cavalry across the bay. In fact, there is no looting whatever, thanks to Sir Hope Grant and Admiral Hope. Even where the crops have necessarily been destroyed in forming the camp, the owners will re ceive compensation. Crossing the bay in the steamer which daily plies be tween the various divisions of the fleet and army, we reach Odin Bay, where the Artillery and cavalry have been landed. The Armstrong guns are still on board ship, but some of the ammunition waggons have been landed, and are perfectly sound and good. The carriages have been shipped and transhipped some half-dozen times, but I am assured on all hands that nothing could be sounder than their condition, and they were well worked at Kowloon. The waggons I can vouch for myself. Ample supplies of ammunition have arrived, and Brigadier Crofton and Major Hay are perfectly satisfied of the entire effi cacy of this most important arm. Beyond the Artillery are the King's Dragoon Guards, Probyn's Horse, and F . ane's Horse. Both men and beasts are in splendid condi tion. Indeed, out of 1,689 horses there are but 40 sick. Colonel Mackenzie understands how to disembark horses; not one was lost, and but two or three suffered injuries of any consequence. What a beau ideal of light cavalry these irregulars afford, and how their marches would astonish our so-called Light Dragoons 1 Probyn and Fane started nearly at the same time from Cawnpore and Lucknow to embark at Calcutta. They marched one against the other, and performed the distance-700 miles—in less than a month. Probyn outmanceuvred Fane by leaving the main road about 200 miles from his destination, and making a flank march across country, but he only won the race by a couple of days. I have not had time to visit Gen. Napier's division, but I hear it is most efficient. The 67th has but 1 per cent. on the sick list. The sanitary arrangements are excellent. There iq no foul smell about the camps, which vie with each other in clearly neatness. The natu ral consequences have ensued. There are but 13 officers and 648 men on the sick list out of the 12,000 composing the force. With the exception of 116 cases on board the hospital ships, the diseases are of a very trivial character. This speaks volumes in favour of Dr. Muir and the medical staff, and particularly of Dr. Rutherford, who is charged with all local sanitary arrangements. The Coolie Corps ilas not been so successful as might be desired. Sir Hope Grant wished to raise a force of 6,000 Ccolies, but rather less than 2,000 have been secured. There is no hope of procuring any addition before we reach Tien-tsin. How ever, we shall never be far from the sea, and the Lena Transport has a fine supply of ponies. No plan of operations has yet been settled. Sir Hope Grant went to Chefow on Tuesday, and returned yesterday The French Admiral and General are expected to-morrow, and we hope they may ba able to fix a day by which they will be prepared. This much, however, seems certain, — the French will land to the south, the English to the north of the Taku forts. The place selected by us is Peh-tan;;, about eight miles from the Peiho, and at the mouth of the river which Mr. Ward, the American Ambassador, as cended on his late journey to Pekin. A naval brigade will probably be formed from the blue jackets and the Marines, which will act with the army, and while the troops attack the forts in the rear, the gunboats will tackle them in front. THE MEDITERRANEAN ELECTRIC CABLE. Readers of the English papers are already aware that the British Government have agreed to continue the guarantee on the other half of the old capital of the Mediterranean Extension Tele graph Company, thus renewing the entire payment of the original subsidy, on their laying down and maintaining a now line between Corfu and Otranto, in the heel of the Italian Peninsula. Mr. Andrews, the company's engineer and superintendent, pro ceeded on the 6th inst. to Corfu, by the English steamer Zebra, for the purpose of selecting the landing-places in that island and in Italy, erecting the land wires, and making such arrange ments as may be found necessary. Two s pas are proposed for landing the cable, one at or n ear Cape Drasti, on the north side of Cor f u, a nd the other at or near Cape rallaa lim s ' be on the other the side. One of the lines run the Fano, and other the Islands of Merlera and south of the group s o f islets of whi ch the two one The .atter line men tioned form the princip al would take about seven nautical miles more cable, but would be safer and more easily accessible from the town of Corfu. It is probable, however, that owing to the difficulty of landing the cable at or near Cape Pallacr um, on account.lbe between L av i nga Point and of the hi g h mountains, the di landing-place r i ve r w Leondari, which wouldr south. take If thislino only ti a ha b ne out two nautical miles further last point be selected there will be about 13 miles o c i t• o f land wire, the great er part of the ses stores for which a re on the spot.

Glass, Elliot, and Co., the contractors for laying it down. The screw steamer Berwick, belonging to that firm, with the cable on board, may be expected in the Mediterranean early in October, calling at Malta for coal, I understand that Mr. Andrews has made a proposal to the directors of the com pany to construct a land line, for the purpose of connecting their two cables—that is to say, the Malta and Sicily cable and the Corfu and Otranto one—through the island of Sicily and Southern Italy, and to complete the communication by lay ing a short submarine cable across the Straits of Messina. This would render the telegraphic com munication between Malta and Corfu instantane ous, and would greatly facilitate the transmission of intelligence between both islands and the United Kingdom. It is also suggested that at or near the junction of the wires at Castrovillari in Southern Italy an Englishman should be appointed who would have the entire control of the correspondence .
