We seem, however, to be at war now with both parties—the rebels and the Imperialists. We trust both of them will receive a lesson which will not need the cost to us or to , them of repetition. We ought to have no more Chinese or Caffre wars. Defence against elected - Emperors is burden enough in all conscience. ------- li OTA I, PRIN C E S S'S THEATRE.-- Lessee and Manager, Mr. A. Harris.

He and Lord JOHN RUSSELL have, we are told, main tained a policy of non-intervention, both by their own practice and by their inauence with other Governments. We do not, on the whole, deny it. We have always acknowledged their foreign policy to be their redeeming policy ; but, to retain their credit with the country, it must be dignified 'and cons i s t e nt. We must not allow ourselves to be THEATRE -ROYAL LYCEUM. soi. Lessee and Directress, Madame CELESTE.

Now, we think we may affirm, without contra• diction, that the event of the hour—the intervention of the French fleet at Gaeta—demands immediate and energetic action on the part of our Govern ment. The telegraphic wires ought to be able to carry the announcement throughout all Italy, Austria, Prussia, and France, that "the British Government has insisted on the non-intervention of the French fleet with the Sardinian fleet, and directed Admiral MUNDT to co-operate with Admiral PERSANO in resisting any attack from any other quarter than from the forces of FRANCIS II." Surely we have not spent £34,000,000 this year on our naval and military forces, to be mocked by the Emperor of the FRENCH in this style. His inter vention so unceasingly and increasingly at Rome, is scarcely bearable; but to have Mm interfering again, just when and how he pleases, and, above all things, at sea also, is intolerable. If he inter venes, we say, one of two things—either he must withdraw his intervention, or we must follow his example and redress the balance. If it please him better we can send ship for ship for those of Admiral PERSANO, whom he forbids to act by the threat of his broadsides, and give the order to our tars for a little gun practice at Gaeta. How would our brave fellows who spent their holiday in working GARIBALDI'S guns against Capua, " Hurrah for a go at Gaeta "—why, the walls of the fortress would fall like those of Jericho, at that shout, before a gun was fired—that the hearts of the garrison would fall or fail, we may be pretty sure; and we should like to see whether his Majesty the Emperor of the French would " send a frigate to stop the firing" of English ships: But seriously, for surely enough it would not come to that, Lord PALMERSTON has but to inform Louls NAPOLEON that, as we did not intervene for the people of Italy, so we could not, and would not, allow him to intervene for a second tyrant in Italy—the telegraph would convey an immediate order to the French fleet to let PERSANO alone, and we would instruct our Admiral to inform PERSANO that liberty of action was restored to him. Lord PALMERSTON has every argument in his favour, He can point the EMPEROR to what consistency with his own pub lished views demands—and he can point him also to the impossibility of his maintaining pleasant re lations with England if he thus insults the strongest public sentiment of the country. Lord PALMERSTON may truly enough tell him that he could not face Parliament for a day, next sprig, if he could not show that he bad gone to any lengths in prevent ing intervention against Italian liberties. He may point to the speech but yesterday of a zealous Tory like Mr. PULLER, at an agricultural meeting, too, as proof of the unanimity of Englishmen of all parties in regard to Italian liberty—and in regard to non-intervention, too. And he may certainly tell him that the nation which spends thirty-four millions for war purposes, and raises two hundred thousand volunteers, by one impulse, is not exactly the nation to understand, by intervention, tying its own hands, and lettingthose of a French Emperor to do all the mischief they can to the cause which England adores. For ourselves, the more we think of this impudent interference the more we believe it bo be for the basest purposes. It will be coupled, doubtless, with other obstructive communications and proceedings. And we believe, and must believe, till we see a better explanation, that the EMPEROR is bent on a second robbery. He has succeeded so well in Savoy and Nice that he is really bent on something more. He will make himself such a thorn in the side of a renovated Italy, that CAVOUR will be glad, again, to buy him off with a cession. Eng. land cannot at the present moment do more towards the rescue of Sardinia and Genoa than by sending decisive orders to our Mediterranean fleet—preceded, of course, by an intimation to the EMPEROR that England insists on non-interven tion at Gaeta. Let it be remembered, also, that these unnatural annexations will be the ground of future wars. It may be so even yet in regard to Nice and Savoy. But the cession of Genoa, of all places in Italy, and of Sardinia, would certainly, some day, issue in a war. This is not the time for cutting up nationalities again ; and the Emperor of the FRENCH is, of all men, the most inconsistent in making the attempt. One of our most popular female novelists—Mrs. GASKELL, authoress of " Mary Barton"—wrote two or three years back a serial tale in Mr. DICKENS'S Household Words , a story called " North and South," in which were brought into vivid contrast the characteristic peculiarities of our northern and southern population. A wider con trast than any there presented to view admits just now of being very readily illustrated by the hand of an American writer of ,imagination through the juxtaposition within the framework of a single truthful, and picturesque narrative of the North and South, not o f th e U n ited Kingdom, but of the United States. What a hint for an episode that daringly adventurous but disastrous invasion of Virginia, led on by old JOHN BROWN, and known now far and wide in both hemispheres as the Harper's Ferry Insurrection ! How terrible a historical romance it might be with out its writer - venturing anywhere upon one single particle of exaggeration! From the initial chapter -lo the denouement it would need only (for the ex :i.ting of a profound sense of horror in the mind of iis reader) it need onl y be " ower true__a tale founded upon fact—a romance born of reality. Supposing, in this hypothetical fiction commemo. jrative of the days of Mr. BUCHANAN'S Presidency —supposing, at one part of his narrative the novelist were to describe a poor book-awker of New England, driving his humble car h t laden with itinerant literature one fine morning in the early ................- spring of 1860 along one of the public highways in Texas, and chancing, as he jogged onwards, to come suddenly, at a turn of the road, upon a rabble throng dragging along with them a wretched negro just caught in the apparent attempt to run away in quest of life and liberty. Supposing the novelist went on to relate how the unfortunate s l a ve, upon being questioned by his captors as to the identity of the person who had induced him to fly thus from the miseries of slavery—obeying the wild impulse of the moment in the desperate hope of having his life spared to him by the declaration, pointed out the first person he chanced to see on being thus questioned, the unhappy man indicated being the luckless book-hawker then passing by with his cart accidentally. Supposing the romance writer then went on to tell us in so many words that the cart and its contents, consisting of cheap volumes and pamphlets, were overturned and smeared with tar and ignited for the roasting to death there and then summarily upon the spot of the unhappy roving bookseller. Supposing the narrator then added that none but the wretches actually engaged in the arrangement of this impromptu auto da fe could endure to remain withia hearing while the flames of this terrible pyre were doing their devilish work of destruction. And supposing we were then simply informed by the historical novelist that all this was simply but too true, that it was the faithful narrative of what did actually occur in the spring of 1860, in the State of Texas during the later months of the rule of Mr. BUCHANAN as the Pro-Slavery President ! We should merely in that case be reading the record of an actual occurrence. We should only be glancing down one page of the hideous "Reign of Terror" in the Southern Division of the United States in the years 1859 and 1860—the last two years of our boasted modern civilisation ! Lynch law being there so paramount, that during those years of the rule of this last Pro-Slavery President in those Southern States, " every stranger," we read, " was dogged, suspected, and more or less persecuted; Governesses and schoolmistresses were expelled from their abodes, or turned back on their road to their situations, merely because they were supposed to be of Northern origin. Com mercial travellers were searched and poftted out to public suspicion ; and two had half their heads and beards shaved, and were sent away, after a scourging, to the train, attended by a jeering mob. The scourgings—by an insane imprudence inflicted by negroes—of artisans, ministers of religion, hawkers of goods, and others; and the tarring and feathering, the ducking, the hideous mock proces sions to exhibit the victim to indignity and ill usage, are abundantly sickening." Turning from these melancholy particulars, however, of the bar barous cruelties rife in the Southern States of the American Republic in 1859 and 1860—let us revert awhile to the consideration of the incidents capable of being presented to view by any novelist who would accurately trace, side by side, the actual condition of things in the North and South of the United States. Look, might the novelist write, "upon this picture and on this !" taking his data from the same reliable sources as those which have recently contributed their store of facts to the calculations of one of the able reviewers in the Edinburgh. Referring, for example, to the state of agriculture in the North and in the South, in language thus positive, and certainly most impres sive :—" In regard to agriculture, which is the pride of the South, the contrast is remarkable. Every acre and every husbandman in the North produces twice as much as in the South ; so that now the annual hay crop alone of the Free States exceeds in value the total produce of the South, including cotton, tobacco, sugar, and farm crops of every kind." Referring thus to the state of manufactures in the Free and Slave divi sions of the Republic :—" The manufactures of Massachusetts alone exceeded last year those of the entire range of Slave States in which various factories have been set up within a few years, in the vain hope of employing the slaves profitably is them." Nay, developing the contrast no less strik ing, in regard to industry and commerce, canals and railroads, churches and charities, in the man ner following :—" In commerce the case is the same. Throwing out New York, on the one hand, and admitting New Orleans on the other, the supremacy of the North is astonishing, the tonnage of Massachusetts alone exceeding that of the col lective Slave States. Last year, Maine alone built more shipping than the whole South. The imports and exports of New York alone were last year larger than those of not only Virginia, once the leading State, but of all the Southern ports together. Railroads and canals go with the in dustry and commerce, and both show three times the length in the North that they have in the wide levels of the South, so favourable to their forma tion. No Slave State pays for its mail transport, and the entire group does not pay one-third of the mail charge ; whereas Massachusetts, after paying for herself, yields a surplus larger than the whole amount raised in South Carolina. Churches and charities follow the proportions of population, and the peculiarities of `the domestic institution,' so that the inferiority of the South is a matter of course. The church property of the South is less I than one-third that of the North; and Massachu setts gives to the support of missions alone eight times the amount of charity afforded by open handed South Carolina." As to the educational contrast, thus writes the reviewer :—" The two sections were once so nearly equal in their appara tus of college education, that there are now only two more colleges in the Free tfian in the Slave States—the numbers being 61 to 59 ; but the Slave States are educating 747 ministers of the Gospel, while the Free States educate that number anp nearly 10,000 more—vis., 10,762; and something of the same proportion is shown by the profes sional schools, where the South shows 3,812 stu dents, to 23,513 in the North. In the free schools of the North there is a larger proportion of the small, despised, free-negro element of the popula tion, than there is in the South of the dominant white population. There are nearly three millions of pupils in the one section, to little more than half a million in the other ; and the difference is not compensated for by private schools, which are everywhere inferior to those of the North. As for the press, South Carolina, which leads the march of intelligence in the South, and is five times as large as Massachusetts, had, at the last census, 141 printers, and not one publisher, to the 1,229 prin ters and 59 publishers of Massachusetts. Of authors, South Carolina had two and Massachusetts 17." Enough, however, and more than enough, illustra tive of the deteriorating influences of Slavery. Evidence it certainly does afford to us, that no one surely can fail to appreciate to the full, that Mr. BUCHANAN, by reason of his pro-slavery policy, will, at the close of his rally lamentable rule, be queath to his successor labours sufficiently hercu lean to fill up the whole of that successor's four years' tenure of the throne-like chair of the Preei , dentship, with all its solemn responsibilities. A marriage is arranged to take place between the Earl of Southesk and the Lady Susan Murray, sister of the present Earl of Dunmore. The mortal remains of the late Earl Manvers will be deposited in the family vault of the Dukes of King- YD 1.. stop, at Heinle Pierrepont, Notts, to-morrow. Lord and Lady Ashburton arrived at Bath House yesterday, from Scotland. The noble lord and her ladyship will leave town to-day for the Grange, Hants. Lord and Lady Rokeby are expected at Montagu House to-day, from Hazlewood, Herts. Sir Robert Peel, Bart., M.P., left town yesterday, to join Lady Emily Peel at Geneva. PASSPORTS.—" A Dane" writes to say that the reported abolition of passports in Denmark is unfounded ; they are still required. " The Municipal Council of Paris," says the Pays, "has concluded the affair of the new opera house, and decided that, in spite of the opposition of some pro prietors interested in the question, the construction of the theatre shall be proceeded with at once." THE NORTH BRITON.—LIVERPOOL, Wednesday. —The Montreal Ocean Steam-ship Company's screw steamer North Briton, Captain Borland, which was ashore at Ballycastle Bay, got off at 6 p.m. yesterday, and pro ceeded for this port under steam, but up to the time of the despatch of our parcel (5 p.m.) she had not arrived in the Mersey, probably owing to the dense fog which has prevailed here all day. We (Scotsman) understand that the junior branches of Mr. Laing's family are to reside in Edinburgh during Mr. Laing's absence in India. The right hon. gentle man is to be accompanied by Mrs. Laing and their eldest son, who goes in the capacity of secretary. The right hon. gentleman is - expected in Edinburgh next week, with his family. It appears to be somewhat doubtful (says the Bury Post) whether the Prince of Wales will enter Cam bridge University as a member of the college of which the Prince Consort is an honorary member, the authorities at Trinity . College not yet, it is said, having received any official information on the subject, and a rumour is abroad that he will place his name on the boards of Magdalene College. Glengarry estate, a fine Highland property, has been sold by the Ettil of Dudley, to Edward Ellice, Esq., of Glenquoich, at the price of £120,000. Mr. Ellice some years ago purchased his present property of Glenquoich from the late Glengarry, and, by his new acquisition, be comes proprietor of the greater portion of the old Glengarry estates—the other considerable portion being Knoydart, which was purchased by James Baird, Esq. THE NORTHERN BURGHS.—The Scotsman of yesterday states that the day for the election of an M.P. for the Northern Burghs, in the room of Mr. Laing, is ex pected to be about the 16th proximo. By letters received from Wick, we learn that Lord Bury is still the only candi date, and that the rumours of opposition are becoming fewer and fainter. His lordship is in London, having been sud denly called up from Wick in consequence of Lady Bury being delivered of a still-born child. He is expected to visit Dingwall, Tain, Cromarty, and Dornoch in the course of next week. The town of Brighton (says the Gazette) never was so full of visitors as at the present moment, and the last few fine days have brought them out in countless numbers to enjoy the beauty of our marine promenade and drive. So mild was the weather on Tuesday, that ladies found parasols of great comfort to keep off tie warmth of the sun. This is no exaggeration, for Tuesday was as warm almost as any day we have had throughout the summer. Lord and Lady Bridport, Lady Harold, and Baron Wilde and Lady Mary Wilde are among the latest arrivals at the Bedford ilditel. Count and Countess Bernstorff have taken their tinarture from 1, Belgrave-place. STEAM TO NEW YORK.—SOUTHAMPTON, Oct. 31. —The North German Lloyd screw steamship Bremen, Captain H. 'Wessels, sailed hence to-day for New York, taking out German and English mails, about 260 passen gers, and a full cargo. The New York steamship of the same line, Captain Von Sauten, is due off Cowes on the 7 th proximo rom New York, with mails of the 27th inst. The Vanderbilt steamer, Captain Lefevre, is hourly expected yi um brellas g e - r Majesty." New York, with mails of the 20th inst., and leaves again on her return voyage on Wednesday, the 7th Nov. The Hamburg-American Company' s screw steamer Teu tonia, Captain Taube, will leave this port , w ith Ger man and English mails for New Ye rk on Sunda y next. M ANC HESTER.—PRESENTS TO GARIBALDI.—In re f e rence to the presentation to Garibaldi of a quantity of haversacks, camp bed bottoms, ambulances , cavalry corn s acks, and other useful articles, by Mr. Briggs, merchant, of the city of Manchester , we unde rst and that gentleman has received from the liberator of Italy an autograph letter, of which the following is a translation :—" Sir, — l hav' , re ceived the bale which you kindly sent me to supply the great wants of my army. I thank you v ery particularly, and I also thank you in the name of my c o untry. The sympathy and proofs of interest which every day we receive from your noble and generous country convince us still more of the justice of our cause, and it is knowledge of our r i g hts that give us the victory.

The delighted youths lost no time in en gaging the services of Mr. Martin, the Eton jeweller, for the purpose of having them appended to their watch chains, an ornament, it need not be added, they prize far beyond the intrinsic value of their gold watches. The names of the youths are the Hon. Mr. Ponsonby and Mr. Salt, son of the member for Stafford, both pupils in the house of Mr. Waite. r No British officer was killed. engaged. RUSSIA. VICTOR EMMANUEL AND FRANCIS IL—The Union has the following :—" Several journals commit an error, and we ourselves have not escaped, In describing the relationship which exists between the King of Naples and the King of Sardinia as that of nephew and uncle. This is ov ing to the word nepote in the Italian language signify ing not only ' nephew,' but the child of other relatives than brothers and sisters, even of cousins. It is then a mere form of language to call Francis 11. the nephew' of Victor Emmanuel. The King of the Two Sicilies is not the son of a sister of the King of Piedmont, but of a female cousin somewhat distant in degree, but nevertheless his nearest relative. The King, in fact, is son of Maria Christina Caroline, daughter of the late Victor Emmanuel 1., King of Sardinia, the last Sovereign but one of the elder branch of the House of Savoy. It was this Princess who was a model of all virtues, and is most affectionately remembered in Naples; who is called 'the Saint.' Victor Emmanuel 11., son of Charles Albert, is the second King of the branch of Carignan, The Queen of Naples was the last descendant of the direct Royal race of Savoy, and as such, as we have said, the nearest relative of Victor Emmanuel II." REFUSAL TO BURY A DRUNKARD.—At Frome on Monday considerable stir was made by the circumstances under which a man has been buried here. An inquest was held a day or two since on a man named Deacon., who was for many years a gravedigger at the parish church, when the jury returned a verdict of "Died from natural causes." It appears that application to bury the deceased was made to the Rev. J. Shaw, one of the curates of the parish church, the vicar of which, the Rev. W. J. E. Bennett, is now tra velling on the Continent. Mr. Shaw refused to bury the man Deacon, as did also the Rev. Mr. Bedford, the other curate. They alleged as a reason, it is said, the dissolute habits of deceased, and that some years since he was sen tenced to some months' imprisonment for being concerned with others in stealing from the church some•cleth. How ever this may be, they refused to bury the man, and it was determined to inter him .at the Wesleyan chapel. The re latives, however, subsequently altered their resolve, and determined to force his burial in the parish churchyard. At four o'clock on Monday, therefore, the body was brought to the churchyard, attended by four mourners and a large crowd. The grave was found to be on'y partially dug, and having waited for this to be completed, the coffin was lowered, and, without a word of prayer or other service, the wife threw in a clod, and the party withdrew, amid the loud execrations of the crowd on the conduct of the clergymen. There is no doubt that this extraordinary conduct will be immediately brought under the notice of the bishop of the diocese. — Western Daily Press. CHESS.—The great chess match between Messrs. B. Horwitz and I. K olisch, to which we have already had occasion to advert, was continued, as by preconcert, on Tuesday afternoon. The amount of interest centered upon this great mental conflict it would be hard to exaggerate. As matters now stand, each party having been successful in scoring one game, the winner of the next two will be entitled to the honours of victory. In consequence of the indisposition of Mr. Horwitz, an armistice of 24 hours has been agreed upon, and play will be resumed at two p.m. this day. THE FORTHCOMING FIGHT FOR THE CHAMPION SIIIP.—Yesterday evening there was a great gathering of members of the prize ring and admirers of the pugilistic art at the public-house known as The Three Tuns, Moor-street, Soho, kept by a noted pugilist named Alec Keene, for the purpose of witnessing the final deposit in reference to the great fight which is to come off on Tuesday next. The stakes are £4OO and the championship of England, the belt, which is the token of the championship, having been left in the hands of the referee, after the contest between Sayers and Heenan, to be fought for by any persons who might be courageous enough to enter the lists for the purpose. Al though the betting has not been so large as in the late com bat between Sayers and the Benicia Boy, an immense amount of money has been staked, many gentlemen hold ing high positions in society being of the number who are backing one one or other of the candidates for the chief honour of the ring—namely, Tom Paddock and Sam Hurst, known as "The Staleybridge Infant." As in the ease of the last battle, there is a great disparity between the ages of the men, Paddock being 36 years of age, and Hurst barely 25. Paddock held the championship for some time, but was de prived of it by the superior skill of Sayers, not, however, without a tolerably severe struggle. It was confidently stated at the meeting last night that so secluded and unsus pected a place has been selected for the forthcoming fight, that there will be no chance of an interruption from the police. A PRIZE FIGHT PREVENTED.—Arrangements had been made for a prize fight to take place on Tuesday morning between a man named Taylor, of Stanningley, near Leeds, and a Bradford beerhouse keeper, called Wood ruffe, on a retired part of Sowerby Moor, five miles from Halifax, but the combat was prevented by the interference of the police. The stakes, we understand, were £25. Mr. Superintendent Wardle, of the Halifax division, had inti mation given to him that the fight was likely to take place in the parish of Halifax. The men under his direction had instructions to hold themselves in readiness. The police were put upon the track by a number of tabs entering Halifax from Bradford very early on Tuesday morning. A great number of rough-looking men followed on foot. Mr. Wardle assembled upwards of twenty of the police, and the greater number of them followed the cabs to Luddenden Foot, where the people got out of them, and walked up a Rto , 4) hill to the moor. In the course of an hour Ab 0 1.1". 400 persons had collected. The police stopped formation of a ring, or any preparations for fighting. The morning was very misty, and the police could not see more than a few yards before them. The mob made a detour, in order to escape the police. and prepared to hold the fight near the original plac , ,, lint it was prevented. The police then kept the prtcipals in view. The mob:were finally dispersed, to their great dissatisfaction. The party returned to Halifax, but in the course of a few Jana they left, ostensibly for Bradford, Lord and Lady John Russell and Misses Russell, who are staying with the Duke of Bedford, at Woburn Abbey, return. to Pembroke Lodge, Richmond, to-morrow• THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 1, 1860. E w Q CAPTURE OF THE TAKU FORTS. The following despatch has been received at the Foreign-office : "FOREIGN-OFFICE, Nov. 1, 1860. " Accounts were received, late last night, from her Majesty's Agent and Consul-General in Egypt, through Trieste, announcing that the Peiho Forts were taken by the Allies on the 21st August, and that the British and French Ambassadors were at Tien-twin on the 26th." SHANGHAI, SEPT. 4. The Taku forts were taken on the 21st August The Allied Plenipotentiaries arrived at Tientsin on the 26th. They would start shortly for Pekin, escorted by cavalry. The Chinese Government has promised them an honourable reception. The rebels have withdrawn from Shanghai, and a better feeling of security hascsince prevailed. On the 18th and 20th August they attempted to enter the city, but were repulsed with terrible loss. SHANGHAI, SEPT. 4. The Taku Forts were captured on the 21st Aug, after five hours' hard fighting. The enemy were allowed to march out, leaving munitions, &c. The Allies lost 400 men killed and wounded. The 67th and 44th Regiments and the Marines, with 1,500 French, were the troops principally CALCUTTA, SEPT. 22. Symptoms of disaffection are manifested by the 6th European Regiment at Dinapore. The following telegrams have been received al Mr. Reuter's office : Nov. CALCUTTA AND CHINA MAILS. The Vectis, with the avove mails, arrived at Marseilles at 7 a.m. Mails were to leave for London at 10 a.m. The Massilia, which should have brought the mails to Marseilles, broke her port cylinder after leaving Alexandria. The Pera, with the heavy portion of the above mails, was at Malta on the 29th, and may be expected at Southampton about the 7th inst. The Ceylon, which left Southampton on the 20th, reached Malta on the 29th October, at 8 p,m., was to leave for Alexandria at midnight. DEATH OF THE DOWAGER EMPRESS OF ST. PETERSBURGH, THURSDAY. The Dowager Empress of Russia died this morning at half-past eight o'clock. MILAN, OCT. 3 The Perseveranza piblishes letters from London, asserting, upon authentic information, that Eng land does not support the assembling of a congress, and that Prussia entertains similar views. NAPLES, OCT. 31. King Victor Emmanuel has crossed the Garig- liano. Capua is being besieged by Garibaldi. The bombardment has commenced. PARIS, OCT. 31. During the last fe cv days there have been some partial engagements between the troops of Francis, 11. and those of Victor Emmanuel. There are different versions of the results, but an approach ing general action is expected. It is believed that Victor Emmanuel will not enter Naples until after Francis 11. shall have quitted his States ; nevertheless, great preparations are making for his reception. VIENNA, OCT. 31. Count Rechberg has given explanations to the diplomatic corps in reference to the interview at Warsaw. According to these explanations, Aus tria put the three following questions to Russia and Prussia, viz. : "Will Russia and Prussia recognise the facts which have been, or may be, accomplished in Italy ? " Should Austria be attacked by Sardinia, and the latter be supported by another great Power, what would be their attitude ? " In the event of another war, and of its being transferred to any part of the territory of the Ger man Confederation, what would Prussia do ?"

LONDON, THURSDAY, NOV. 1, 1860, Late last night the Government received intel• ligence that the Peiho forts were taken on the 21s1 of August, and that the British and French ambas. sadors were at Tien-tsin on the 26th. The tele grams from Shanghae, add a few particulars which seem to give us some glimpses into the nature of the operations. They would seem to have been carried on by land, since not a ship or gunboat is mentioned, two regiments and the Marines, with 1,500 French were the troops, principally, engaged. We hear nothing of any barriers being forced, and do not know that a vessel of war had crossed the bar. The Plenipotentiaries had arrived, however, at Tien-tsin, on the 26th, and would hardly have gone thither, we may suppose, without a naval force accompanying them. They were to start shortly for Pekin, " escorted by cavalry," but that was possibly because ships of any size do not easily advance beyond Tien-tsin. The fight must have been a hard one for such enemies. It lasted for five hours, and the allied i° B B was 400 killed and wounded. Prince SAN KO-LIN.sIN is plainly a general whose courage is not to be despised, and who must have the general's quality of inspiring his troops with something of his own feeling. The mode of attack we cannot conjectur e even, yet. Part of the forts lay on the same side of the river Peiho as that on which the allies landed. Originally the French were to have the other landed on side, but the country was so wet, muddy, and impassable, that that arrangement was given up, and the French and English both landed at the mouth of the Pehtang to - which Admiral HOPE was told to go last year, with the lying statement that it was another mouth of the Peiho. They had, therefore, to cross the ten miles between the two rivers, and would then find some of the forts on their own side. How they attacked those on the opposite side we have yet to learn, As to the result s—" the enemy were allowed to march out, leaving munitions, Sec." —probably nothing better could be done. They would b e very harmless opponents, except behind their de. fences, and it could be of tlittlecare serviceof Chinese pri to our troops to be encum bered with he _ soners. The other result —that of the Plenipoten tiaries, instead of the army, marching to Pekin seems more doubtful in its consequences. The Chinese Government has "promised them an hone urable reception"—but ought they not to have taken one for themselves ? After all That has passed, and all the lessons we have had of Chinese duplicity, ought we to allow the Chinese Tories the last opportunity of again re presenting the Barbarians as coming to pay homage to lIIEN-FLING ? Of course in the absence of detailed info' ination, we may hope that whe n we know the whole, we shall be able to justify their .course. It is a curious fact, indeed, that only a few days before we were storming the Taku forts, at the mouth of the Peiho, we were) saving the town of Shanghae from being stormed by the rebels against the Chinese E MP EROR.

The presence of the Dictator in the royal camp excited the utmost enthusiasm. All the troops presented arms. The King, accompanied by Garibaldi, was to proceed the next day to Ca serta, where his Majesty would receive the dele gates sent to announce the result of the Plebiscite: A letter from Turin, of the 27th Oct., says : M. Minghetti has this day entered on his duties as Minister of the Interior, having taken the cus tomary oath in presence of the Prince de Carignan, the King's lieutenant. The new Minister is about to address a circular to the Governors and Intend ants, and it will be, so to speak, the programme of his administration. The same letter says :—" Victor Emmanuel, on accepting the vote of annexation of Naples and Sicily, will boldly assume the title of King of Italy. Monetary unity will he one of the first measures to be carried into effect, and of course all the ne w coin will bear the effigy of Victor Emmanuel, with his new title.

Horn, a Hungarian resident in Paris, has addressed a letter to the Courrier du Dimanelle, stating his views on the new constitution given to his native country : " We (the Hungarians) refuse (he says) to recog nise any importance whatever in the decrees which the Emperor of Austria signed on the 20th of October last, and caused to be inserted the follow ing day in the official journal of Vienna." The following are the principal reasons : " L Because they do not re-establish the ter ritorial integrity of Hungary, which, before all, and above all, desires and ought again to become herself. These decrees maintain the -separation of Hungary from Transylvania, though the union of the sister countries is the una nimous wish of the Hungarian and Transylvanian populations. They postpone to ulterior delibera tions the arrangement of the relations between Hungary and the Voivodina ; they thus maintain the principle of the arbitrary dismemberment ef fected in our country in 1850, and which the people of the Voivodina condemn and deplore not less una nimously than their brethren of Hungary proper. " 2. Because, in a political sense also the decrees do not even restore to Hungary the status quo before 1848, which the whole country had, how ever, found insufficient, as the events of March, 1848, showed. The Diet Which the new patents ac cord to Hungary will merely be the shadow of the old national assemblies ; the voting of taxes and soldiers—the only right which makes the power of a Legislative Assembly a reality—is taken away and transferred to Vienna, to the Council of State. Moreover, in the patents relative to Hungary, there is no question of the Palatine, who was al ways the official guardian of the Hungarian e.on-, s titution ; nor yet of the oath which all the Kings of Hungary are bound to take to observe the fun damental laws of the country ; and what is meant by this double omission it is unnecessary to say."

At an inquest, held at the Sheffield Workhouse, yesterday afternoon, before Mr. H. P. Bager, deputy coroner, on the body of a female c hild, nine days old, supposed to have died from violence, some curious revelations were made as to the Catholic priest and community in the matter. The child was the daughter of an . Irish girl, named Mary Sheardon, who only attaned the age of 15 years in June last , the father being Dominic La a state r vin, an Irish labourer , who had lived in of conclibin age with the girl's mother elf borne two chil for several years, and to whom the mot her had hers dren. It appeare d that, on Sunday, Larvin, and the Sheardon's, mother an d daughter, were x communicated and cursed from the altaroroafeStt-. Vincent's Church , for their shocking immorality. About twelve o ' clock on Sunday night, one o y i the Roman Catholic priests went to the house where the parties lived, in Reacroft ' and after b a ptising th e infant, broke a crucifix over the grandraother and mother, and beat the former with some violence on the side of the head. He upon all the faithful also cursed the house, calling to do the same. This proceeding loose the indig nation of the Irish inhabitin g v iolent com motion ensued.the locality, and a Notwithstanding the e fforts of a large body of the police to maintain order, the house was assailed with such showers of stones that the beds and bedroom floors were covered w ith such missiles. The disturbance was renewed on Monday evening with increased violence. The priests, who have great influence with the low Irish population, were appealed to, but refused to interfere for the protection of such wicked persons , and and the motherinfant had to be secretly re moved to the workhouse for safety. It was rumoured that the child had di d from injuries received du rin g the disturbance ; but this proved to be incorrect, its death being attributed to natural causes. Great damage, however, was done to the house, all the windows and doors of which were broken to pieces, and the inmates themselves had the nar rowest possible escape from the most serious injuries.

Antiquarian, Ethnological, and other Researches in New Granada, :Equador, Peru, and Chile, with Observations on the Pre incarial, Incarial, and other Monuments of Peruvian Nations. By William Bollaert, F.R.G.S., Corr. Mem. of the University of Chile, &e. London : Trubner and Co. We congratulate Mr. Bollaert on having in his present work given a most important and valuable contribution to ethnological and antiquarian science. It is evident that in the volume before us the author has studied more to compile a mass of curious and interesting facts but little known to the general reader, than to arrange those facts in a systematic form, or with much attention to the mere graces of composition. It is as a work of reference, as a i storehouse of information on the ethnology and antiquities of South America, derived from many years' residence and travels in all parts of that country, that M. Bollaert's volume is especially valuable to the student in geographical and anti ' quarian science. . After giving us a brief but interesting introduc tory account of New Granada, our author discusses at some length the history of the aboriginal inha bitants of the Plateau of Bogotei, known by the names of the Chibchas or Miniscas. These tribes are in all respects as distinct from the Mexicans on the one side as they are from the Peruvians on the other. The religion, laws, and social customs of the Cliebchas are discussed at some length, and many singular instances are given of their state of scien tific knowledge, especially in astronomy. A curious vocabulary of the language of the Cliebchas is also appended to this portion of the work. The account which Mr. Bollaert gives of the manufacture and importance of quinine, will be read with equal interest by the medical prac titioner and the political economist. We learn that the British Government pays annually for quinine no less a sum than £60,000. In the hope of in some measure reducing this expenditure, it appears that Mr. Markham, the author of " Cuzco and Lima," has been sent by our Government to Peru to collect young cinchona plants, and trans port them to our possessions in India. The well known botanist Spence is also at the present mo ment, and with a similar object, engaged in collect ing cinchona plants in Equador, and Mr. Pritchett in the forest of Huanaco, in Peru. Quito is the next country examined by Mr. Bol laert, and here undoubtedly he opens up much new ground, especially in the departments of ethnology and mineralogy. It is, however, in treating of the history and antiquities of Peru that Mr. Bollaert writes most con an'ore, and this doubtless may be attributed to his long residence in the country,:his affection for its inhabitants, and his thorough acquaintance with the ancient history of Peru, of which he gives us a very interesting summary. It seems to us that if some man like Mr. Bollaert were employed to arrange the ethnological collection, particularly that of South America, which is now existing in the greatest state of confusion in the British Museum, the scientific world would gain a considerable ad vantage. A singular proof of the state of astronomical learning among the Peruvians is afforded us by our author's discovery of an ancient Peruvian Zodiac, of which he gives us a fall description. The mineral and mercantile treasures which exist in the form of silver, nitrate of soda, loran - &c., in the province of Tarapaca, are well worthy the attention of speculators, and the results of our author's own personal examination in the nitrate districts show what a rich harvest they promise to the enterprising. Perhaps to the general reader the account which Mr. Bollaert gives of his trip to, and subsequent ascent of, the great mountain Tata Jachma, and his admirable observations thereon, will be more ac ceptable even than his more scientific disquisitions. We next come to Chile and the various tribes of Chango and other Indians which inhabit that country. The descriptions which Mr. Bollaert gives of Copiapo, Valparaiso, and Santiago are well worth perusal, especially that of the last named rich and beautiful city. At Atacama we again find him actively analysing the soil for the discovery of various mineral and chemical productions, and we have also a full de scription of the manners and customs of the ex traordinary tribe of Indians which inhabit those parts of the country. It is the concluding portion of his volume which our author devotes chiefly to the study of anti quarian remains, and much curious information is given us of the Pre-incarial, Incarial, and other monuments of ancient Peruvian nations, particu larly those of Tia-Huanaco, and around Lake Titi caca. We only regret lack of space obliges us to content ourselves with the brief abstract we have given of Mr. Bollaert's three principal divisions of his work ; but we can assure the lover of ethno logical, geographical, and antiquarian science that he will find in this new addition to the history of South !America a mass of information such as he will scarcely meet with in any work recently pub lished on these portions of the nAw world. The volume is illustrated with numerous litho graphs of scenery and antiquarian remains, which add materially to its interest and value. ACTION AGAINST A CLERGYMAN FOR RE .MOVING A GRAVE BAILING. Yesterday, at the Salford Court of Record, before Dr. Wheeler, Q.C., the Judge, Mr. Joseph Kinch brought an action to recover damages from the Rev. Charles Marshall, rector 'of Ilarmhey, for removing a railing from the grave of his daughter, Alice Ann Kinch, in the parish churchyard of Harpurhey. Mr. Higgin and Mr. Ambrose appeared for the plaintiff; and Mossrs.Ovens and Holker for the defendant. The only question which was put to the Jury was whether Mr. Marshall had consented to the railing being placed on the grave or not; several other questions involved in the case, such as the jurisdiction of the Court to try, &c. being, by consent, reserved fora higher court. The facts of the case were, that on the 15th of February, 1859, Mr. Kinch's daughter died, and Mrs. Mary Ann Marsland, a niece to Mr. Kinch, was sent to the Rev. C. Marshall to purchase a grave in the Harpurhey church-yard. The account of the interview was given by Mrs. Marsland, who remembered all the conversation verbatim. Mr. Marshall told her that the graves were of two kinds, either one guinea or two guinea ones. She decided on having a guinea grave, and subsequently paid him for it; and in reply to a question from her, he told her the grave would be Mr. Kinch's to do as he liked with. This, however, Mr. Marshall denied; and his receipt for the grave money was given in writing as for a "single in terment." Soma conversation also took place about the headstone, and Mr. Marshall said that unless the headstone was purchased of him in less than three months the right to put it down would be lost. The headstone was paid for and put up about April, 1859, and subsequently the stone work and railings were put up , and the grave was visited w eekly by Mrs. Kinch up to April, 1860. In April, 1860, Mrs. Kinch took some paint, and painted the railings, and while doing so Mr. Marshall passed through the church yard. In M a y , 1860, Mr. Kinch received a letter from Mr. Msay i n g that if the right t o erect th e ra ili ng over thwas not paid for he should t a k e th e ra ili ng d ow n. e a r g s h r g a v l l e , Marsland, upon the receipt of this note by Mr. Kinch, went a second time to Mr. Marshall, and dared him, at him per il, to remove t he railings ; but Mr. Marshall told her he should undoubtedly do so if the money was not paid. The money was not paid, and Mr. Marshall or his servant removed I the railings, placed them inside the church, and then sent to . _ M r . Kinch to say he might fetch them, which Mr. Kinch declined to do.—Mr. Marshall, in his evidence, explained that a person paying only a guinea for a grave had only a right to inter one body, and the bodies of any other persons might be buried above it in the same grave. It was at his option whether ho would permit a headstone to be placed at the grave or not. On the other hand, a two-guinea grave was reserved for the burial of persons who were all members of the same family ; and the family had the right of putting down a headstone, &c.—The defence was that the plaintiff had unlawfully, and to the damage of the de fendant's freehold, put up the railings ; and therefore the defendant removed them. In the course of his examina tion, Mr. Marshall added that he took the advice of his bishop before he wrote the letter to Mr. Kinch, but he de clined to say whether he was advised to pursue the course ho had taken. He also said that his attention was only drawn to the railing two months before be wrote the letter to Mr. Kinch demanding payment for the right.--The Learned Judge told the Jury they would have to say whether or not the railings were put up unlawfully and without the leave and license, and a gainst the will of the defendant; and in order to arrive at that conclusion they would have to determine whether or not the acts of the de fendant indicated a knowledge of the existence of the rail ings in the place where they were put, and whether he ac quiesced in their remaining where they were. --The Jury, after a brief consultation, returned a verdict fvr the plaintiff —damages £3. the approaching wedding of her At a dinner party recently given by Queen l s r daughter was formally announced.
