It will there be seen, for example, that the Chinese, in reply to the demand for the restitution of the gunboats lost by us at the Taku forts, go the childish length of remarking, after a comment upon the injury inflicted by the English upon these very fortifications—" Besides this, half the British ships and guns demanded were sunk in the sea : they are not in the possession of the Chinese at all !" adding, with consummate effrontery, " The question may be dropped, therefore, by both parties alike." But it is further on, towards the close of this extraordinary effusion, that the arrogance of the whole reply to our ultimatum reaches the very climax of audacity. "To arrive at length," it says, "at the request advanced by the British Minister BRUCE to be treated with courtesy when he comes north to exchange treaties. If he be sin cere in his desire for peace, let the commissioner, when he shall have thought over all the details of the treaty, those which it will be proper to give effect to, and those respecting which compromise or arrangement is to be made, negotiate, and when both parties shall be perfectly agreed, if he will come north without vessels of war, and with a moderate retinue, and will wait at Peh-tang to ex change the treaties, China will not take him to task for what is gone by ! He must be di rected to acquaint himself with the rules ob served or laid down at the exchange of the American treaties, and the course to be pursued will be further discussed with him by the Commis sioner. But if he be resolved to bring up a num ber of vessels of war, and if he persist in proceed ing by way of Taku, this will show that his true purpose is not the exchange of treaties, and it must be left to the high officer in charge of the coast or port defences to take such steps as shall be thereby rendered advisable." And it is added, thereupon, that—" The despatch written on this occasion by the British Minister BRUCE is, in much of its language, too insubordinate and extravagant for the Great Council of the Chinese to do more than discuss its propositions most superfi cially." Nay, her Britannic MAJESTY'S represen tative is actually reminded by the Chinese Council, in their reply to the British ultimatum, that— " For the future he must not be so wanting in decorum !" Nothing, in sEort, could be more in sensate or more outrageous than the whole matter and manner of this astounding rejection of our ultimatum by the diplomatic organ or mouthpiece of the Chinese Government. It is a rejection that leaves us absolutely no alternative. We have but one course to pursue, and that is to advance sword in hand upon the Chinese capital. Nothing else remains to be done, in fact, but to march upon Pekin forthwith, to take it with the utmost possible expedition, and from that 'vantage ground, there —at Pekin, and nowhere else than Pekin—dictate New Terms of Peace to this barbarous and insolent, faithless and recalcitrant Government. The more resolutely, promptly, and thoroughly the war is accomplished this time, the more securely and per manently will the result be in the interests of hu manity and civilization. An appeal lies before us which it seems almost like inhumanity not to notice. It is entitled, " Startling facts ;" and the facts are respecting " the poverty and distress of 400 clergymen of the Church of England." The testimony is such as can hardly be impeached, for the witness, who cannot well be deceived in the vast majority of the cases he records, is the Rev. IV. G. JERVIS, secre tary to the " Clerical Fund and Poor Clergy Society." We have glanced, indeed, at the greater part of the instances of clerical poverty which he mentions, and can see no reasonable doubt that, whatever the causes, the distressing particulars of want and suffering are faithfully given; we mean, of course, by those who furnished them to Mr. JERVIS. We have often enough heard of the Church of England as possessing, compared with Dissenters, the claim to national support of being the " poor man's Church ;" which claim we have always thought a very rich fiction, since, as far as our observation extends, the great majority of the poor who go to any place of worship find the more colloquial, or stimulating services of Methodists and other Dissenters more to their taste. But we are bound to acknowledge that Mr. JERVIS has furnished the most ample proof that the Church of England is the " poor clergyman's Church ;" for we question whether, amongst all the Methodist ministers in the country, a tithe of the instances which he adduces of heart-rending poverty could be found at all. Before dropping a few remarks suggested to us, by Mr. JERVIS' pamphlet, (which may be procured at No. 345 of the street in which our own paper is published), let us remark that the charitable wealthy ought to obtain and read it at once. The distress is extensive, that is certain ; the suffering, in many cases, most severe, the difficulty of the sufferers helping themselves often insurmountable, always great, and the hardships are all such as money, and other material aid, could mitigate or relieve at once. To beg, themselves, most of these poor clergymen would probably be ashamed. But, they need the relief far more than many objects of common charity. They may have been personally improvident, or the system under which they suffer may be in fault ; but, as in the case of the Irish famine, we cannot afford to wait for the working of the principles of ADAM SMITH ; the principles of Christian charity must step in and meet the pain fully exceptional case. We repeat, Mr. JERVIS states facts which demand the present attention of all who sympathise with the deeply suffering, whose position and feelings yet forbid them to ask relief.

LONDON, FRIDAY, JUNE 1, 1860. It would be difficult even for the Chinese them selves to surpass the insolence with which the ultimatum of the British Government has been rejected. There cannot any longer now be one solitary doubt remaining as to .the course that ought to be •pursued by the Western Allies in regard to a race which has thus flagrantly violated all international law. The memorable treaty solemnly ratified a year or two since has been now coolly ignored by one of the contracting parties as though the said treaty had never been in existence. The engagements formerly entered into between the Chinese Plenipotentiaries on the one part, and the English and French Plenipotentiaries on the other, have been cavalierly set aside by the Asiatic authorities of whom the former negotiators were the acknowledged representatives—set aside not by a stroke of the pen merely, but in the first instance by the murderous discharge of a treacherous and dastardly ambuscade. Turpi tude mere heinous than this has never before characterised the acts of any Power assuming to itself in any way a character for civilisation. It is advisable to bear especially in mind what are the demands contained in the British ultimatum, which have now been peremptorily rejected by the Chinese. And then to recognise distinctly the insulting arrogance characterising the manner of their rejection. The despatch, dated 9th April, 1860, written from Shangliae by Mr. BRUCE, as her "Britannic MAJESTY'S Ainbassador, addressed to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and laid by Lord Sous RUSSELL upon the table of the House of Commons last evening, enumerates suc cinctly, under three heads, what it really is that the Chinese reply to the British ultimatum refuses to do. First of all, Mr. BRUCE tells us " It refuses any apology or expression of regret for the treacherous conduct at the mouth of the Peiho last year. Se condly, It refuses permission to ascend the Tien tsin river, and directs me to proceed, not to Pekin, but to Peh•tang, there to await the exchange of ratifications; stating that if I attempt to go by But when we haveput our hands into our pockets way of Taku, the officer in charge of the forts will to relieve any distressed individual or family, be called on to act. Thirdly, It refuses to restore whose wants admit of no delay, our next question is the guns or ships abandoned at the mouth of the what was the cause of the distress, and what is river, or to consider the' payment of an :n- the remedy ? One personal and obvious cause d2nanity." Having done all which categorically strikes the reader at once. We read of large and peremptorily in the way of distinct denial families of children where the applicant seems to or rejection the reply goes on, fourthly, to have had but the most limited means. Almost at refer Mr. BRUCE " authoritatively (he writes) to the beginning we find an incumbent with an income the regulation s laid down for the reception of the of under £lOO a-year, in "heavy affliction," and American mission last year, appearing to hint at with seven children. The next, salary not men the same time that these may be in some degree tioned, wants clothing for his wife and children, modified in discussion with Ho." Her MAJESTY'S for want of which they cannot attend divine service ambassador here adding immediately that, "Its —the clergyman's family through poverty cannot most important instruction to Ho, however, is, that go to Church ! A "domestic chaplain to a Lord" before I proceed to the north, he is to consider what has for five months been without a curacy, and parts of the treaty are to be brought into operation without means of support for a wife and child. and what parts will require compromise or modift- I Another, with eight children, asks for 'clothing. cation." Now, the mere fact of these refusals of all Another incumbent, income under £lOO a-year, apology or compensation is surely_ quite sufficient enjoys the burdensome blessing of seven children , of itself in the way of provccation—particularly five of them boys, and so on of "startling f ac t s " b y , when that fact is followed up, forthwith, by the score. Now, we certainly are no advocates for the intimation that we may yet, if we please to do the celibacy of the clergy, but we may ask this so, eat humble pie with exemplary meekness, as we class to exercise ordinary prudence. If incumbents all know was actually done last year by the U n it e d or curates on £4O, or under £lOO a-year, will ma rr y . States' ambassadorial representative. But it is a lady without any more resources than themselves the manner,'above all, in which these refusal; ar e - 1 f or maintaining a family, nothing on earth , can expressed that imparts the sting and the poison of i save them from the workhouse or charity. The the sting to the provocation. For the instant ap- shopmen or clerks with whom, in point of income, Mr. JERVIS indignantly compares his suffering brethren, are not, as a class, guilty of the impru dence of attempting to keep house on salaries which barely keeps respectable clothes on their backs. We are surely entitled, with Mr. JERVIS' pamphlet before us, to warn the curates and petty incumbents still unencumbered, to look before they leap. If the young Rev, on his £4O or £lOO a year, has not taken the fatal step, however trying it may be to wait, however cruel to check the ten der sympathies which allure him to the fatal plunge, with Mr. JERVIS' book before us we must bid him be a man, as well as a young beloved and loving clergyman, to exercise his judgment, and not to de stroy his usefulness, and pauperise a wife and chil dren by what is, really, a reckless marriage. But of course the greater number of our readers will at once exclaim—that there must be something radically wrong in the administration of the re venues of the Church ! They have heard of such a living as Daddington with its rent charge of £9,956, and of others favoured with incomes com puted by the thousands of pounds, and they are ready to get almost into a passion with a system which leaves other poor incumbents starving on less than the wages of a mason on strike. But they must cool down their anger. All these livings, are, in fact, a strange combination of private and public property. Patrons can buy and sell them, though the cure of souls con nected with them is a public and a State service ! It is useless to kick at facts ; but the facts are, that if all the appointments of our civil, military, and naval service were in the hands of individuals who could put up the presentation to those appointments for sale at Garraway's, the secular public service would then be in precisely the position in which the spiritual public service of the State is now placed. A large number of tile livings are, to be sure, in the gift of the Crown ; but, with this ex ception—the State could mend its system only by purchasing all the advowsons. Fairly divided, the revenues of the livings would give perhaps £3OO or £4OO for each incumbent; we believe it is computed that, if clerical socialism should ever apportion the income of the Church equally amongst those of all classes who do its work, there would be some where about £230 for each. It is, however, openly argued that a system of blanks and prizes is the most conducive to the spiritual excellence of a State Church ! An argument which seems to men of busi ness pretty much like saying the best possible for things as they are. To say that it is next to imprac ticable to alter the system, or no system, is one thing—to defend it is folly. Mr. JERVIS justly calls attention to the outrageous abuse of funds, which might have been available in mitigation of all this heartrending distress, by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. We all know of their disgraceful squandering of money—Xl43,ol4 —on the palaces of eight bishops—palaces of " successors of Apostles, and that while working incumbents and curates were starving and begging second-hand clothes ! and even now we are told that the Com mission spends £lO,OOO per annum on salaries alone ! This monstrou's job must be dealt with. Then there are princely Bishops' salaries, which may well be made to yield something handsome— Canterbury could spare £lO,OOO at least, London fully half that sum, and £15,000 would do something towards allaying a great deal of this clerical distress. Durham, and other re• dundantly wealthy bishoprics, could also con tribute a handsome quota to the same ob ject. We would willingly relieve Bishops of their legislative duties, and of the attendant expense, by which the State would doubtless be a gainer; and such cu ttiig down of worse than useless salaries, and economising strictly all that has not been irreco verably wasted on palaces for Christian bishops, would supply Mr. JERVIS with a fund that would gladden his heart, because it would gladden the hearts of hundreds. Let parents, however, and young men themselves, think of what they are doing in entering the Church. If they want the position it gives in society we have nothing to say ; but if they want a livelihood, they ought to reflect. Some 297 livings are under £5O per annum, 1,629 under £lOO per annum, 1,602 under £l5O per annum, and 1,354 are under £2OO per annum ; 4,882 benefices under £2OO a-year. Blanks and prizes truly. Let those who want a livelihood remember that the Church is a lottery, with this peculiarity, however, that connection, not chance, presides at the wheel. THE COURT.—Her Majesty the Queen, and his Royal Highness the Prince Consort, accompanied by the Princess Alice, Prince Arthur, Prince Leopold, and the Princesses Helena, Louisa, and Beatrice, left Osborne at 20 minutes past 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, embarked at Cowes on the Fairy, Royal steam yacht, crossed to Ports mouth, and travelled by a special train on the South- Western Railway to the private station at Vauxhall.

JOHN PARRY.—It is with great pleasure that we have to announce that Mr. John Parry, the well known buffo singer, has consented to appear• once more in public, the occasion being the benefit of Mr. and Mrs. German Reed, on Monday next, at the Gallery of Illustra tion; but it is to be hoped that when once Mr. Parry has renewed his acquaintance with a London audience, he will ba induced to give a series of farewell performances, prior to his final retirement. To the very intimate friendship existing between Mr. John Parry and Mr. German R, e must the public attribute the opportunity of hearing again the charming buffo singer ; and when it is remembered that he appears in conjunction with Mr. and Mrs. Reed, pleasure-seekers can form some idea of the treat in store for them. It is seldom that three such aeeomplished artists are brought together—all are first-rate musicians, and all excel as vocalists and actors in a class of entertainment that is daily becoming more popular, THEI LONDON, FRIDAY 7EVENING, JUNE 1, 1860 LATEST NEWS. The following telegrams have been received at Mr. Reuter's office : PARIS, MAY 31. A telegram received this morning from Naples confirms the news of the entrance of Garibaldi into Palermo. Garibaldi, at the head of his volunteers, pene trated, flag in hand, into the centre of the city during the bombardment, and established his head quarters there. The loss in killed and wounded is very consi derable. TURIN, MAY 31. The following details of Garibaldi's attack on Palermo have been received from a reliable source : "At 4 o'clock on the morning of the 27th Gari baldi attacked Palermo on the south side. A des perate combat ensued, and lasted six hours. The people made themselves masters of all parts of the town south of the Strada di Toledo. A terrible bombardment was opened by sea and land, not withstanding which the people continued to fight. The troops retired within the Royal Palace, the Custom-house, and the Castle. Hostilities were suspended from 10 until 12, when the struggle re commenced with greater desperation. The Royal Palace was taken by the people, and in the even ing was burnt down. "Other towns in Sicily have risen, the inhabi tants everywhere shouting Italy for ever!' 'Victor Emmanuel for ever !'" PARIS, FRIDAY. The Moniteur of this morning says :—" The Go vernment believes it its duty to protest against the malevolent' suppositions and accusations and the thoughtless interpretations which have been pro duced by the annexation of Savoy and Nice." The Moniteur recalls the circumstances which brought about the cession of two provinces separated from Piedmont by the highest mountains in Europe, and says :—" The French Government, far from having a design to provoke or to give rise to any complications in Europe, in order to find an occasion for further aggrandisement, is animated by thoughts of quite an opposite character. Govern ment deplores the manoeuvres destined to propa gate daily impressions the least exact as regards its real intentions. The Emperor has made every effort to re-establish in Europe the confidence which has been shaken. His sole desire is to live in peace with other Sovereigns, his allies, and to use all his endeavours to actively develope the resources of France." VIENNA, JUNE 1. The statement in some journals that the seat of thf) Commander-in-Chief of the army in Italy will be transferred from Verona to Laibach is erroneous. Tate Commander-in-Chief will remain in Verona ; omly the administrative and judicial offices of the maw will be transferred to Laibach to ensure a inore free and speedy movement of the army in Irmetia, which has been re-organised, not only for ;conomical purposes, but also to be prepared for ill emergencies. For this double purpose the military forces, con s;iiderably reduced, will be concentrated in the for t zesses of the quadrilateral. The cavalry will be assembled in the plain of Rtordenona, and the artillery in Verona. The latter will be provided with rifled cannon. Thus Austria, with a corps d'arnzee of 70,000 co en, will await the developement of events in Italy. PARIS, JUNE 1.

The Moniteur also publishes the following de s patch : " NAPLES, MAY 30. " Garibaldi entered Palermo on the 27th. He is ?master of the greater part of the town. The troops 'were concentrated in the Castle. A bombardment 'immediately commenced. Fires broke out in seve ral parts of the town. Garibaldi attacked the Castle at noon of the 28th May." NAPLES, MAY 29. Great agitation prevails at Court and in the Ministry. After a Cabinet Council the Ministers tiandered their resignation. It is rumoured that a J•iberal Ministry will be formed. MARSEILLES, MAY 31. . A letter from Genoa states that Garibaldi has ori lered the formation of eight regiments of infantry in., Sicily, to take rank after the Piedmontese in fr a itry. The Levant steamer is expected with news from Ec2ssina. VIENNA, MAY 31. The enlarged Council of the Empire was opened ft-gday at 11 o'clock by a short speech from the Neesident, Archduke Reinier, to whom Count ipponyi replied, in order to explain the particu sr position of the Hungarians in relation to the kfuncil of the Empire.

It states that Garibaldi put himself a . ; t he head of his men, and, bearing in his hand the r , at) 'oval flag, led them on amid the fire, and pene f rat ed into the centre of the city, where he esta blis. hed his head-quarters. The loss on both sides is stat :d to be great. It has been already said that the firing had ceased. It is supposed that, while the Garibaldians were employed against the troops ocq tpying the heights outside the town, the people of Palermo rose and expelled those that defended the city. It was on this the forts opened fire, which appears to have been protested against by the foreign Consuls. BOURSE, May 31.—The market has been steady, but very little business doing.

The undersigned, &e., has the honour to address a communication to his Excellency Pang-Wan- Chang, a Senior Secretary of State, and their Ex cellencies the Members of the Great Council of his Majesty the Emperor of China. The undersigned has the honour to state that, as in duty bound,. he has laid before her Britannic Majesty's Government a full narrative of all the circumstances attending his journey to the mouth of the Tien-tsin river last summer for the purpose of exchanging the ratifications of the Treaty of Tien-tsin, as required by the provisions of that Treaty, on or before the 26th of June, 1859. Be • sides the whole of his correspondence with the Im perial Commissioners and other officers of the Im perial Government, the undersigned has transmitted to the Government of her Britannic 'Majesty a copy of the Imperial Decree, dated the 9th of August, and handed, by the Emperor's desire, to the United States' Minister, Mr. Ward, on the eve of his de parture from Pekin. The decree begins as follows : " Last year the ships of the English sailed into the port of Tien-tsin and opened a fire on our troops. We accordingly instructed Sang•kolin-sin, Prince of the Khorchin tribe, to adopt the most stringent measures for the defence of Taku, and (the envoys of) the different nations coming up to exchange treaties on this occasion were told by Kweiliang and Hwashana at Shanghai that Taku was thus strictly guarded, and that they must go round by the port of Peh-tang. The Englishman Bruce, notwithstanding, when be came to Tien-tsin, in the fifth moon, did not abide by his orignal under standing with Kweiliang and his colleague, but actually forced his way into the port of Taku, de stroying our defensive apparatus." The undersigned did not fail at once to npprise the Government of her Britannic Majesty that the Emperor had been singularly misled, Had it, in deed, been signified to him by the Commissioners at Shanghai that his Majesty had decided on closing to foreign Envoys the natural and most convenient highway to his capital, such evidence of an un friendly disposition on the part of the Imperial Government would certainly have been regarded by the undersigned as fit matter of remonstrance and negotiation. No intimation of the kind, however, was con veyed to the undersigned in the letters of the Im perial Commissioners. The port of Peh-tang was never named by them, nor did the undersigned enter into any engagement with them other than that contained in his letter of the 16th of May, in which he acquainted his Excellency Kweiliang of the nature and object of his mission, and of his in tention to proceed by ship to Tien-tsin, from which city he requested his Excellency to give the ncces sari orders for his conveyance to Pekin. He begs to enclose copy of this letter, as also of that received from the Imperial Commissioner of the 12th of June. These will prove that the under signed was allowed to quit Shanghai in total ignor ance of the Emperor's objection to his employment of the usual river route. A like silence on the subject of the Imperial pro hibition was observed towards Admiral Hope, com mander-in-chief of her Majesty's naval forces in these seas, when, in furtherance of the objects made known to his Excellency Kweiliang in the letter above cited, he appeared on the 17th of June at the mouth of the river to announce the approach of the undersigned and his colleague the Minister of France. The Admiral was assured that the passage had been closed by the so-called militia whom he found in charge of the booms obstructing it, with out the orders of their Government, none of whose officers, the militia repeatedly affirmed, were near the spot; also that it was closed, not against foreigners, but against a native enemy. These false representations were supported by false appear ances ; the batteries of the forts were masked, no banners were displayed, no soldier discovered him self. Still further to prevent verification of the statements of the militia, no communication was allowed with the shore. After promising to re move the obstacles at the river mouth, the militia repudiated the promise. They conducted them selves with rudeness and violence to the officers who were sent to speak with them, in one instance pro ceeding so far as to threaten the life of a gentleman despatched with a message from the Admiral. Such was the state of things when the under signed arrived outside the bar on the 20th of June. Finding that the officials persisted in keeping aloof, while the Militia continued to assert that the ob struction of the river way was their own unautho rised act, he called on the Admiral to take such steps as would enable him to reach the capital by the time appointed. This, after due notice given to the Militia, and after receiving from them an assu rance on the previous evening that they should cer tainly have nothing further to communicate, the Admiral was proceeding to effect, on June 25, the eighth day from his arrival, when the forts, which had been for these eight days to all appearances deserted, suddenly opened tire upon his squadron. Apparently to cover this treacherous conduct, the officers in charge of the forts have imposed another fiction on his Imperial 'Majesty, who has been led to believe that the British squadron assumed the offen sive by bombarding the forts. This is utterly with out foundation ; no shot was fired until the bat teries had opened; the ships having no other ob ject in advancing but to remove the obstacles placed across the river without authority. The facts of the case are simply those stated by undersigned ; and her Britannic Majesty's Go vernment, after mature deliberation, have decided that whether the Emperor of China was cognisant of this act of hostility, or whether it was directed by his officers, it is an outrage for which the Chinese Government must be held responsible. Her Britannic Majesty's Govern men t require, therefore, an immediate and unconditional acceptance of the following terms : " 1. That an ample and satisfactory apology be made for the act of the troops who fired on the ships of her Britannic Majesty from the forts of Taku in June last, and that all guns and mate rial, as well as the ships abandoned on that occa sion, be restored. " 2. That the ratifications of the Treaty of Tien tsin be exchanged without delay at Pekin ; that when the Minister of her Britannic Majestic pro ceeds to Pekin for that purpose, he be permitted to proceed up the river by Taku to the city Tien-tsin in a British vessel ; and that provision be made by the Chinese authorities for the conveyance of him self and of his suite with due honour from that city to Pekin. " 3. That full effect be given to the provisions of the treaties, including a satisfactory arrangement to be made for prompt payment of the indemnity of 4,000,000 taels, as stipulated in the treaty, for losses and military expenses entailed on the British Government by the misconduct of the Canton authorities." The undersigned is further directed to state that, in consequence of the attempt made to obstruct the passage of the undersigned to Pekin, the under standing entered into between the Earl of Elgin and the Imperial Commissioners in October, 1858, with respect to the residence of the British Minis ter in China, is at an end, and that it rests hence forward exclusively with her Britannic Majesty, in accordance with the terms of Article IL of the Treaty of Tien-tsin, to decide whether or not she shall instruct her Minister to take up his abode permanently at Pekin. The undersigned has further to observe that the outrage at the Peiho has compelled her Majesty , Government to increase her forces in China at a considerable cost, and the contribution that may be required from the Chinese Government towards dc fraying this expense will be greater or less, accord ing to the promptitude with which the demands above made are satisfied in full by the Imperial Government. The undersigned has only to add that, unless he receives within a period of 30 days from the date of this communication, a reply conveying the unqua lified assent of his Majesty the Emperor of China to these demands, the British naval and military authorities will proceed to adopt such measures as they may deem advisable, for the purpose of com pelling the Emperor of China to observe the en gagements contracted for him by his plenipoten tiaries at Tien•tsin, and approved by his Imperial edict of July, 1858. The undersigned, &c. FREDERICK W. A. BRUCE. Enclosure 2 in No. 5. DECREE. Translation. The Great Council writes a reply (to the Com missioner Ho, which he is) to transmit. The Council received yesterday (or, a short time since) a despatch froin the Commissioner, and with it a communication he had forwarded from the British Minister Bruce, the contents of which have occasioned the Council the greatest astonishment. He states (1), for instance, that Peh-tang was never alluded to by the Imperial Commissioners Kweiliang and his colleagues. It appears that last year the , Imperial Commissioners, Kweiliang and his colleagues, waited for the British Minister at Shanghai for the express purpose of considering with him in person all the conditions proper to an exchange of treaties. On ascertaining that the Minister Bruce had arrived at Wu-sung, they wrote to him several times to engage him to meet them; their object being, in fact, to acquaint him that Taku was fortified (or that arrangements had been made for keeping people out of Taku), and that he must go by way of Peh-tang. He, however, repelled them, refusing them an interview. The Imperial Commissioners Kweiliang and his colleagues, more over, informed him that vessels of war must on no ace punt (2) crossed the bar ; but the British Mini ster paid no attention to these words ; and when, on arriving off the Tien-tsin coast (or, the port or ports of Tien-tSin), Hang, Governor• General of Chih-li despatched an officer with a communication to the effect that he was to proceed by way of Peh-tang, and sent him a present of provisions, he would re ceive nothing, but suddenly brought his vessels into Taku, and (commenced) destroying the defensive apparatus there placed. How can he allege that he never received the slightest intimation that he was to go by Peh-tang ? And, as he was coming to exchange treaties, why did he bring with him ships of war ? It was plainly his intent to pick a quarrel. How, then, can he (when the blame is all his own) charge China with shortcoming towards him. The defences prepared at Taku are not either (as he implies) prepared to keep out the British (3). Suppose that some other nation's ships of war were to go to the length of presenting them selves under British colours, could it be left to them to commit any breach of propriety they pleased ? Well, then, the defences of Taku cannot possibly be removed, even when the treaty shall have been exchanged. (Then the demand for) indemnity under different heads, and for the restitution of guns, arms, and vessels, is yet more against decorum (4). The war expenses of China have been enormous. The cost of defending the coast from Kwang-tung and Fuh kien up to Tien-tsin, from first to last, has not been short of several millions of money. Were she to demand repayment of England, England would find that her expenses do not amount to the half of those of China. As to restoring ships and guns, the year before last England destroyed the forts at Taku, and ob tained possession of a number of guns belonging to China; ought she not, then, on her part to be con siderinc, how to make these good ? But, besides this ; half the British ships and guns (demanded) were sunk in the sea ; they are not in the posses sion of China at all. The question may be dropped therefore by both parties alike. Then there is (the announcement that) the com promise by which, the treaties once exchanged (the Minister), was to have resided somewhere else, is at an end. The compromise by which once the treaties were exchanged (the Minister) was either to select some other place of residence, or to visit (the capital) whenever there might be business of importance to transact, was definitely settled by the British Minister Elgin in negotiation with the Imperial Commissioner Kweiliang and his col leagues. The revocation of this compromise now (announced) is even more unreasonable (than all the other propositions). Last year when, after the Americans had ex changed their treaty, there was an alteration in the rate of tonnage dues, and the ports of Tai-wan and Chen-chow (Swatow) were opened to trade, the British Minister earnestly prayed for a like ar rangement (in his favour). The English had not exchanged their treaty, but His Majesty the Em peror, liberal to foreign nations, and full of tender consideration for the interests of commerce, gra ciously sanctioned an extension of the boon to the English, for which they should be equally grate ful (5). But, if the compromise duly negotiated is to be annulled, there will be no impropriety on the part of China if she cancel the arrangement by which she has conceded to the English (the same advantage of) the improvements in tonnage dues and trade that accruos to the Americans under their treaty. To come to the (British Minister's) request to be treated with courtesy when ho comes north to ex change treaties. If he be sincere in his desire for peace, let the Commissioner, when he shall have thought over all the details of the treaty, those which it will be proper to give effect to, and those respecting which compromise (or arrangement) is to be made, negotiate (with the British Minister), and when both parties shall be perfectly agreed, if he will come north without vessels of war, and with a moderate retinue, and will wait at Peh-tang to exchange the treaties, China will not take him to task for what is gone by. He must be directed to acquaint himself with the rules (observed or laid down) at the exchange of the American treaties, and the course to be pursued will be further discussed with him (by the Commissioner). But if he be resolved to bring up a number of vessels of war, and if he persist in proceeding by way of Taku, this will show that his true purpose is not the exchange of treaties, and it must be left to the high officer in charge of the coast (or port) defences to take such steps as shall be thereby rendered necessary (lit., as shall accord with reason). The despatch written on this occasion (by the British Minister) is, in much of its language, too insubordinate and extravagant (for the Council) to discuss its propositions more than superficially (lit., to go deep into argument). For the future he must not be so wanting in decorum. The above remarks will have to be communicated by the Commissioner to the British Minister, whom it will behove not to adhere obstinately to his own opinion, as, so doing, he will give cause to much trouble hereafter. A necessary communication. (From the Times.) China has refused the British ultimatum with directness and with an insolence such as a great preparation and a consequent sense of security alone could have prompted. The terms of the ultimatum are confined to a confirmation of the Treaty of 1858, an apology for the outrage at the mouth of the Peiho, compensation for losses, resto ration of ships and material, a revisal of the clause in the last Treaty on the visits of the British Mini ster to Pekin, and an indemnity for the expenses of the present expedition, according to the obstinacy of the Chinese resistance. It is evident from the reply that the Chinese are infatuated with success, and painful as it is to see them running headlong to their doom, we cannot help feeling that this i s the long expected justification of ourselves and others who on several occasions have maintained against attacks the cause of her Majesty's servants in these regions. The Chinese have r ecourse to every trick of policy, every evasion of argument, and every folly of invective whi c h th e t ra diti o ns of our very nurseries have ascribed to their race. In the first place, and what alone would justify the present expedition, they refuse to admit that our remonstrances er ultimatum have been conveyed to the Emperor, or to give any answer except as from the Provincial Government, in a ccordance with commands from the Great Gouncil. This is equivalent to a refusal to negotiate in the only sense of negotiation among civilized countries.—that between one Sovereign and another. It is evident that there never was an intention of confirmin g the treaty, and that it has not yet been recognised by the Emperor. The Chinese maintain that the British and French Ministers were duly warned, even at Shanghai, not to p roceed to Taku, which had been fortified, as they p retend the y had in formed us, but to Pell-tang, or the false mouth of the Peiho, which turn s out to be, indeed, no mouth at all. They still refuse to admit our ships of war up the Peiho, on the ground that an Ambassador can require no armament, and that any foe mi g ht assum e our flag. Against our expenses they plead their own greater expenses. The ships and guns cannot be restored, because they are at the bottom of the sea, and we hal better let them remain there. They propose to trtat, our Minister as they treated the American ; and they criticise the tone of cur ultimatum and correspondence as insubordinat, extravagant, and indecorous. The Emperor's at visers, or they who assume the name, could never have any other purpose than to persist in the polio of isolation, and leave foreigners no resource adains' any amount of wrong. All the treaties hitherto A must have been mere hypocrisies, and nothing short of a visit to the Court of Pekin is likely to obtain for us the simple rights of trading and sojourning, conceded by all civilised States to one another. The real question at issue appears to be whether we shall continue our intercourse with China on our terms or on hers. Our terms are those on which we communicate with all the nations of the world —simplicity, frankness, hospitality, high principle, and equality, as between gentlemen. The Chinese, on the contrary, insist on keeping up the illusion of an unapproachable Sovereign, an irresponsible Central Government, and the not less startling illu sion of an infinitely superior morality and sense of decorum. So long as we permit this illusion, and endure its natural consequences, we must be liable to continual insult and degradation, to frequent in terruption of intercourse, to the cost and trouble of reinstating ourselves, and the odium of waging war with a people who know the proprieties neither of peace nor of war, and over whom victory itself is a scandal. This is best understood by the analogies of private life. It may be necessary to have inter course with inferior people, but it is for us to choose whether we will associate with them on:their terms or our own. We may, if we please, condescend to their insulated ideas, listen to their petty quarrels, their invidious estimate of all classes above them, their perpetual tole of depreciation, their im mensely exaggerated opinion of themselves, and the substitution of one or two distorted ideas and in flated sentiments for the recognised maxims and common sense of well-bred and well-educated people. If we do this we inevitably sink to their level, and wallow with them in the same Stygian pool of malignity and folly. The only escape is to dictate our own terms ; to maintain truth, kindliness, and mutual respect; and to con sider ourselves, not as conspiring against society for some paltry gain of our own, but co-operating with it for our common good. Some such account may be given of the terms on which we may demand, and do demand, to com municate with China. The time has gone by when she could impose her conditions ; they are con demned by the result ; we have tried them and failed; we must now impose our conditions with such gentle force as may be found necessary. All policies are judged by the result—not our private advantage, but the final development. The result of our former weak and temporising policy in China is that we are outcasts, and at war, at the very time that our trade is greater than ever, and some hun dred thousand Chinese are settled in the British dominions. The result on China herself is that she is torn to pieces and her population decimated by a wide-spread rebellion, and she is driven to immense cost in the idle defence of her barbarous system. As it is only eight weeks since the receipt of the answer to the British ultimatum it must be some time before the arrival of any important intelli gence. It is very clear that whatever we hope to gain we must gain by for alone, and that we shall have to win every step by hard fighting. It is too evident by some painful indications that the Chinese have clever advisers, who know what they are about to do long before the event, and whose interest it is to keep us as far as possible from Pekin, Other heads than Chinese have laid out the fortifications, staked the approaches, and even planted the guns. With this unseen aid the Chinese surpass themselves in assumption and defiance. The reply on which the British force will have to act is not addressed di rectly to the British minister, but sent to the Imperial Commissioner to be forwarded, a mode of proceeding in the face of the Treaty. The Chinese refuse altogether to ratify that Treaty at Pekin, and refer us to Peh-tang. There is reason to be lieve that the reference to this place, on our visit to Taku, was an afterthought simply to mislead and baffle us ; and that, at the very time we were told there was no one at Taku to hold communi cation with us, the provincial authorities were pre sent, directing the soldiers and preventing us from being informed as to the real state of the case. Can any one expect that such a people can be brought to reason otherwise than by the strong hand ? Having to deal with barbarians is, indeed, a great responsibility, but we cannot escape it. There we are with a mission to discharge, and we must acquit ourselves as well as we can. At this moment our course is plain. We have to enforce a treaty, and it is for the interest of the whole human race that we should do it quickly and thoroughly. AMERICA. SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY.

Simpson, proprietor of Cremorne Gardens, appeared before Mr. Arnold, at the Westminster Police•court, to answer a sum mons taken out by Mr. Samuel Beachcroft, sur veyor of the parish of Chelsea, for that he being the builder engaged in erecting a building, situate in Cremorne Gardens, neglected to give him, the said surveyor, two days' notice before such build ing was commenced, contrary to the statute, by which neglect he had rendered himself liable to a penalty of £2O. Mr. Pawle was engaged by Mr. Simpson. Mr. Beachcroft said that about three years ago he attended at that court to prefer a similar charge against Mr. Simpson, and which was dismissed on the ground that he (Mr. Arnold) by whom the case was investigated, was of opinion that the structure did not come within the meaning of the act as to what was a building. The present was, however, a very different case. Mr. Arnold asked in what way the present charge differed from that he formerly heard ? Mr. Beachcroft replied that in the present case there was some brickwork upon the ground, and a quantity of posts, which were sunk about four feet in the ground in concrete. You, sir, dismissed the former summons as you were of opinion that the former structure was not to be a permanent one. Mr. Arnold—This appears to be a very different case. Let me hear the evidence. Mr. Alfred Williams, clerk to Mr. Bea c h ero ft, provfundMatyhehebuilding in went into course of erection. It was nearly circula r , ab ou t n t e ha G t a o i n .de t n h s e a l n 2 a th f o o C r e m e o d r 108 feet in diameter, and at each angle posts were let into the ground. There were also posts varying from 34 to 26 feet in height. At the top of the building there was to be a cupola, and the roof was to be covered with asphalted felt. In the centre of the structure was a raised platform, about eight feet from the ground, and the public were admitted to it by an inclined ascent. Mr. Pawle said that the present summons differed very little from the previous one, and he was pre pared to show that the structure in question did not come within the interpretation of the word building," as contemplat e d by after being erected, could be speedily removed, and be placed in another position. Mr. Simpson. had been at a very considerable expense in endea vouring to obtain views of various parts of the scenery of Switzerland, and which he was iesirou of exhibiting at Cremorne Gardens. Messrs. thieve and Telbin, under his direction, had been to Switzerland, passing into Italy over the Alps by the pass of the Mont St. Gothard, and had taken views of all the picturesque scenery on the journey. These his client wanted to exhibit as a painting, and it was only for this purpose that the structure ''as erected. It was a structure that was easily removable, and he considered not such a one as was contemplated by the act as a building, any more than could a dancing booth, or any large tent for the exhibition of shows at a fair. After a long ar gument, Mr. Arnold observed that it was a case of some importance, and that before he gave his de( i•ion he should take an opportunity of going to t'.e Gardens, and seeing the " building" in question. He concluded by sa3ing that he would let the parties know when he would resume the investi gation of th:. case,
