Between the little North and the East Gate, the weakest part of our line, the enemy crowded-on- the wall in numbers ; but .all our men had to do was to pelt at them .through loopholes and embrasures- as fast as 'they could load. With the approach of daylight the braves, who were headed by mounted mandarins, retired sluggishly. The behaviour of a regiment of Bengal Sepoys, the 70th, svho were re-armed for this expedition, is spoken of with a pp rova l. "N o Soldiers,' says the .Privntl, " could have shown a better_spirits". The Adventure, from Shanghae, had arrived at Hong Kong, disembarked part of the detachment of her Majesty's 59th Regiment, and left for Can ton with the residue; about 300. In consequence of the general migration from Hong Kong of Chinese shopkeepers, servants, and labourers, and the serious inconvenience . caused to them thereby, a number of the influential European residents had joined in a memorial to Sir. John Bowie the island ep w i a - e s sea o6c til a sg si otiol ed 3!hiantent ac g t o t f i l e .o e t s t , l issued by or throw4i. the instigation of the Shun 'lsam ; that Within .a- fey days from that time, if the mOveinents were not adequately checked, nearly every Chinese from the neighbouring dis tricts in the employment of foreigners would be compelled to return to . his home, thereby .occasioning the greatest personal inconvenience to every individual of the community, and completely . paralysing all the ordinary opera tions of intercourse and daily life ; that the community was threatened with an en tire stop page of the usual supplies of goods derived from various points of the mainland; that from a very partial application of the measure - epic( the present timethe price of provisions had-men-enormously ; that the memoralists -felt satisfied that strictly local Measures were wholly inadequate to meet the exist ing emergen c y ; th a t this was one of those extreme occasions in which the. local representatives of. her Majesty's Government are imperatively called upon to exercise : an " unusual responsibility'- in order to provide for the general welfare. and safety; that simple inaction. would produce an injurious moral effect, in thP minds. of the Chinese-resident ins Hong Kong; and that the Chinese would lose all confi dence in the rigour of our rule, when they saw us helpless to protect them from, the arbitrary man dates- of their own countrymen, simply because these were not issued within the bounds of the colony. Deferring to the considerations Vans detailed, Sir John Bowring issued a proclamation, dated 30th June, in which, after announcing the conclu sion of peace, he thus refers to the causes of the departure of the Chinese : " But in disregard of the obligations of treaties, and of the will of his Imperial Majesty, menacing proclamations have been _issued, compelling the peaceful residents of this colony to quit their abodes, to violate their obligations, to neglect their duties, and to flee to the mainland of China ; and these menaces have proceeded principally from the districts of Heang-shah and San-on. Now, be it known to those who have issued, or who shall seek to give effect to such menaces, and especially to the authorities and gentry of Heang-shan and that these acts of hostility cannot be tolerated by me ; and that, unless the proclamations and. orders compelling the Chinese people to leave this colony be -immediately withdrawn, and the people who have left the colony allowed without delay to return to their business, - and to the serv i ce of those with whom hey have been en gaged, the places and persons to which these hos tile acts are traceable will render themselves liable to signal punishment. Moreover, attempts have been, made to stop the supply of provisions to this colony ; and it is hereby proclaimed that every person who shall arrest - or attempt to arrest the safe and regular transport o f ar ti c l es i n t en d e d f or the markets of Hong Kong does, by such act, de clare himself an enemy of Great Britain, and a lawless subject of the Emperor of China, and will be severely visited for his offence." The first attempt to distribute this proclamation threatening the Chinese authorities ended some what disastrously. Mr. - Mongan, who speaks Mandarin, and Mr. Lobschied, who is acquainted with the local dialects, went in the gun-boat Starling to w;sist in the work; and some difficulty having been experienced in communicating with the Chinese authorities, five persons ventured on the hazardous, almost suicidal, expedient, of post ing up copies of the proclamation in the seaboard suburbs of Namtow. The people were, or pro fessed to be, very friendly, but hundreds of Chinese soldiers soon rushed to-the attack, and a speed retreat had to be made t o .the Starling's gig, which had landed the bold adventurers. Before this boat could get out of range one sailor was shot dead and another wounded. The result might have hem different hod the marines who accompanied the expedition been landed, but it seems that the officer in charge had no power to do anything of the kind. The conduct of the Chinese autho rities or soldiers was barbarous and inexcusable, but the Daily Press has received advises from Nam tow, which lessen the responsibility of the people. The garrison were militia in the employ of govern ment, not of the Shunkum. The district magistrate, whose name is Wongtoongyen, was absent. Chu Acqui„ the notorious pirate, was there in command. He wanted to attack the boats as they landed, but the people would not allow him. The foreigners, when they went to the Joss house, were in the lion's mouth, and the people could not avert the attack which was made. That same night the people held a Consoo, and wanted to capture Chu Aqui, and surrender him to the Hong Kong authorities. This rash project was abandoned on grounds of ilk gality. Aqui, however, got wind'of it and escaped with his family to Shatseang. The foregoing intelligence is taken from letters and . papers which left Hong Kong in the mail packet Singapore. The steamer Li gts t n i ng , w hi c h left Hong Kong two days after the mail, carried the following additional particulars to Singapore : The Friend of China of the 11 th inst. inciden tally mentions that Gen. Straubenzec and a large force from Canton, with several gunboats from Hong. Kong, had proceeded to Namtow, it was re ported, to inflict punishment on the authorities of that place for firing upon one Or our boats with a flag of truce. The Daily Press of the same date says that the landing party would muster 1,200 strong. The same jou rna l not i ces that advises from Canton were by no means pacific, but that as the Hoppo had sent for the linguists, it was thought that an attempt will be made to open, trade. The subjoined items are from the Shipping List of the 11th inst.:— " The Fury will sail for the Bogue on Saturday; to relieve the Cambrian, which vessel is to remain in Hong Kong harbour in place of the Nankin, which proceeds home. " Her Majesty's ship Pique arrived last night from Shanghai, and anchored this morning by the Fury, to take in a supply of provisions preparotory to leaving for England: " The gunboat Staunch, on her passage down from Shanghai, put into the Island of -Tawopung for shelter, intending' to get under weigh imme diately after the weather moderated. The villagers. came off to visit the ship, and seemed to be very greatly interested, taki ng p ar ti c ular noticeo f having attacked and plundered their . vi village.' cut to sea, everything on board.

The large gun unfortunately coming to Hong Kong. Lieutenant Wildman, finding he could do nothing with the small howit zers, steamed up alongside, intending to board, on which a shower of stinkpots were sent on board, setting fire to the sails, awning, rigging, &c. After a desperate struggle, she succeeded in capturing her with two others, and the fourth ran ashore, the greater portion of their crews made their escape over the hills. During the engagement one seaman was killed and nine wounded. One junk had Eng lish colours, one Portuguese, and two Chinese. Three of the junks were burned, and the other was proved to be a captured junk belonging to Ningpo. In this gallant little affair, Lieutenant Wildman succeeded in securing two of the pirates, and brought them on to Hong Kong. They were handed over to the police, and will be • examined to-morrow at the police-court." PRICE 4D, :*AMPED, SD.

The market on the whole has been, and still continues as favourable as before, and prices of all descrip tions ofgreyand bleached cott ons have been fully maintained and may be repsrted a shade higher. Mule twist has been in stoidy demand, and all qualities and counts have been fully maintained and have improved in price 1 to 3 pie per morah, Woollens are still neglected ; but the season tor operation is approaching. Metals generally have not yet improved. THE AroliEy MARKET continues as before, money plenti ful, and acconunodatirns are obtainable in the bazaar on easier terms than those of the bank. A further reduction of 1 per cent. was made last week on the Bank of Bengal (ILs: counts and interest, and a reduction has taken place this week of 5 per cent. in the margin of loan on the 4 per cent, paper and 1 per cent. interest on the discount of govern ment acceptances—there has been a great excitement in the fours in consequence.

We have no material change to notice in the money market. COTTON PEICE Goons.—The activity in the market has somewhat slackened, but the general tone has not much altered. The amount of business transacted shows a falling off. The prices of shirting are nevertheless higher, and as the season progresses more doing in these fabrics is to be expected. Grey madapollams are improving in demand, and the prices look up. Grey long cloths are in demand, and prices have advanced. Bi.EACHED AND FANCY Goons.—Bleached long cloths are in fair inquiry. Bleached madapollams are very dull of sale ; and bleached jacconets, low quality, have slightly advanced. COTTON YARNS,—In mule and water twists, but espe cially the latter, there has been less business transacted than before. METALS.—The market for this staple is very dull, and we have no material alterations to notice in any description of metals. EXPORTS.—Cotton : The prices have not altered since our last, though the supplies from the districts have been rather early. Oil seeds : There has been a fair amount of business transacted in the market for these goods. For linseed a fair demand has prevailed ; teel seed is in active demand ; and Niger is in moderate request.

THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.- It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious article of animal diet first made its appearance; and already its celebrity is world-wide. It has been a subject of wonder, and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a " Perfect bag of bones." Be tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some of Thorley's food; and he says the effect was wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &e., the animals which carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand fbr it can proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free. rl l O THE NERVOUS AND DEBILITATED. -a- CHARLES WATSON, M.D., Fellow and Honorary Vice-President of the Imperial African Institute of France, Correa.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fear ful consequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Manhood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret do u bt s of their physical condi tion, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, and privileges to which every h uman b e i ng i s en titied happiness, . It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

(Fivin La Passe.) European civilisation .has a tendency to spread itself over the whole surface of the globe. It lms Wr.eady conquered both Americas; it is rapidly developing itself in - Oceania, and the English rule Will :perhaps succeed in introducing it into Hin dostan. It is a fact well, worthy .of - remark, that of all the peoples in the world those who live under the :empire of the Koran have the greatest antipathy to civilisation. For ages they have been in con stant relations with us; the territories they occupy border those of Christian nations ; our commerce and policy envelop them, as it *ere, in a net ; they see 'our superiority and acknowledge it; but the bad law they have adopted says to them, "No peace with the infidels." The days, however, are close at hand when Islam ism must bow its head or perish. The Mediterranean cannot in future wash the land of barbarism. Mehemet Ali understood it, and Egypt has hoisted the standard of civilisation; - - The Bey of Tunis himself has _felt it; and is endeavouring to introduce into his states the principles and institutions that constitute our greatness and our strength. Besides, he has France in his front, Egypt on his right, and Algeria on his left. Profiting by our counsels, he first abolishes piracy and then slavery. Mohammed took another step in advance last year. He promulgated a constitu tution that guarantees security to all Tunisian sub jects, whatever their-religion may be, declares them all equal before the law, establishes proportional taxation without exemptitin or privileges, abolishes compulsory recruitment and substitutes conscrip tion by lot, creates a tribunal of commerce the members of which are composed of Mussulman subjects and resident Christians, assures to all free= dom of trade, and prohibits the Government from engaging in it. This constitution, doubtless, does not work yet with perfect regularity. But the principle is laid down, and nothing is now wanting but to persevere in the path soy wisely traced out. The Tunisian Government has just completed these reforms by the creation of a municipal council, the first that has ever been organised in Mussulman states. We will give an analysis of the organic constitution of this council. The council will consist of a president, vice president, secretary, and twelve members selected from the chief inhabitants of the country. Their removal will be effected annually by a third. For the first two years this renewal will take place by lot. .It will then be carried on in the order of seniority. The members will be re-eligible. Two members of ;the council will assist the presi dent each day in trying public cases. The ordinary sittings of the council will be held for four mouths in the year, but the council must, during the other months, re -assemble whenever their duties require it. All the discussions will be recorded in the minutes, bearing the signatures of the councillors, and this register will be shown to the Government, on which devolves the charge of approving and carrving out the municip a l d ec i s i ons The council will 'cleliberate on the revenues ac. truing to the town, on the means of increasing them, and on the expenses to be incurred. It will attend to the proper distribution and sale of the municipal property in land, to the preservation and repair of buildings, the keeping of the streets in a fit state, and the embellishing of the town. The president is charged with the regulation of the ex penditure, with superintending the employment of the revenues, and the application of all the regula tions respecting the police and the highways. For the sake of public utility, the council will be permitted to treat with private individuals for the purchase of lands and tenements. Should the owner demand too much a forced sale will be re- sorted to, and the owner of the property will be properly indemnified in conformity with, the ver dict of a jury composed of four old inhabitants of the country, four appraisers, and four of the upper burgesses. The president of the council will receive the re- ports and informations of the police officers, whose duty it is to see the police and highway regulations duly enforced. In virtue of these regulations the inhabitants are prohibited under penalties from placing vehicles where they would cause a stoppage of traffic, from placing on the highways any build ing materials or offensive refuse,. from erecting booths or sheds for the sale of merchandise, &c. The apportioning of the penalTinertrred by the offenders will be made by at least two members of council ; but inasmuch as the council has no com pulsory powers, the carrying out of the sentence in regard to those who shall refuse to pay their fine will devolve on the authorities to whom the offender is naturally subjected. The constitution ends with this truly Eastern phrase :—" Salutation on the part of one humble before his God, his slave, Mushir Mahommed- Basha-Bey, possessor of the kingdom of Tanis. May God be propitious to him! Written on the 20th Moharem, 1275" (August 20, 1858). We shall confine ourselves to one simple reflec- tion on this characteristic document. It embodies the profound revolution that has been forming in. Northern Africa ever since the [lv when the ban ner of France and of civilisation was unfurled ,riumphantly over the Kaabah of Algiers. A MODERN LOCHINVAR. The usually quiet and staid inhabitants of Camp beltown were one morning, not long ago, rather unexpectedly surprised to discover that their good town had been the preceding evening the scene of an escapade somewhat after the manner of the Young Lochinvar. A few months since a well-known Glas gow:merchant, pleased with the scenery of Camp beltown, took possession of a charming cottage overlooking the loch, det erm i ne d to make it his sum mer quarters. He was a ccompan i e d by his wife and daughter. Shortly after their arrival in Cam pbel town a gentleman in co nnec ti o n with her Majesty's Customs was introduced to them, and fell at once under the spell ofthe daughter's charms, at the same time awakening a tender interest in the breast of the young lady. The papa was inexorable, and put an end for a time to the so ft w hisperings by placing the young lady under what he imagined the secure guardianship of lock and key. But our fair maid, though closely confined, by no means gave up thoughts of liberty and of the enjoyment of the society of him to whom she had yielded her young affections. By means best known to themselves they held communication, and Paterfamilias being still stern, the lady continued firm in her resolve to have • none_ but the man of her choice; and the lovers determined t o s t ea l a marc h, fly, and be joined in the bonds which no man can sunder. To , accomplish this a fishing smack was hired, a night chosen which was dark and showed every prospect of a rattling breeze, and a skiff with muffled oars procured to bear the lovers to the larger boat, which was to await them a mile off. About half-past ten in the evening seiording to pre-arrangement, the lady stepped forth by. the window, with DO more extensive trousseau than the dress she had been wearing during the evening, and. a round hat. She was then received by her future lord, who hurried her off to where the skiff was hauled up on shore, with four strong fellows along side up to their knees in the sea, ready to shove her off. One moment and the lady was placed in the stern, the men jumped into the boat, and in five minutes they reached the fishing smack, where they could defy pursuit, for she was put before the wind, and scudded up the sound of Kilbrannan before a strong south-westerly gale. They reached Loch Ranza after a passage fearful enough to have set half-a-dozen ordinary young ladies out of their wits, but which our heroine, no doubt love-supported, bore admirably.- Here our runaways remainedt till daybreak, aliJi afterwards resumed their perilous journey, which, however, had, as it deserved, a happy termination, when the same evening they reached the residence of the ge n tl eman ' s brother in-law, in Dumfriesshire, where in a few days after This daring adventure met w ith it s cr o wn i ng reward, through the kind offices of the parish mi nister.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]— Holloway's Ointment.—Skin dis eases are prevalent everywhere, and everywhere it is known that Holloway's matchless ointment is a specific remedy. The demand for it is extraordinary. When this ointmcn t is applied to the diseased parts the effect is wonderful. It is more like.that of magic than of medicine, but the relieved patient need not lei his astonishment and delight be dashed with fear or doubt as to the ultimate result of so sudden in action on the system, for this famous ointment is as inno— cent and benign as it is powerful. It does not throw the disease inwards, but insinuates itself through the pores of the skin to the . original cause of the evil, and effects rtt thorough cure. INDIA AND CHINA MAILS By the arrival of the Bombay and Calcutta mails we have received our private correspondence and files of papers from Bombay to Sept. 7, Calcutta, Aug. 22, and Hong Kong, Aug. 10. A letter from Calcutta, dated Aug. 21, says— " Lord. Harris, the Governor of Madras, is very ill. He has had a paralytic - stroke and his physi cians recom men d hi s immediate departure. The event has created some feeling at Madras, as Lord Harris, though considered a failure as an adminis trator, is personally liked. He arrived at the preSi ,dency with an immense reputation, the result of his popularity in Trinidad, but it was soon perceived that his character, however amiable, promised little for energetic action. He was an admirable consti tutional ruler, the faculty of all others most unsuited to an Indian presidency. No man understood better how to manage a Council, how to reconcileconflict ing opinions, how to take an interest in philanthropic. schemes. In a colony such qualities are almost in valuable. In India men look for real leaders in their governors, and anything i s forgiven except weakness. V Lord Harris devoted himself to small plans, opening museums. and founding agricultural societies—excellent things in their way, but not calculated to redeem a presidency. "It is understood that Sir John Lawrence will be requested to accept the vacant appointment, but it is doubtful whether he will be induced to con sent. His - health has suffered, and his application for leave in February-has already been -submitted. Without a peerage, moreover, the appointinent would scarcely be a pleasant one to a man who now 'receives 10,000 a-year. He would be inst an tly i n conflict with all the civilians who in Madras have never had a master, and who are wedded to a re venue system which Sir John is scarcely likely to endure. It is possible, however, that he may accept, and the day will be a fortunate. OM for the Madras Presidency. V " The illness of Lord Harris is almost the only incident of the week, and I take advantage of the lull in events brieflY to sketch the progress made throughout this side of India towards the extinc tion of the revolt. Beginning in the extreme north the Punjab remains profoundly_ quiet. There i s a report given in the M o f uss ilit e that the disarmed regiment at Dhera Ismael Khan has escaped since the discovery of the plot in the 10th Punjabees, but I receive it with distrust, as a mere exaggeration of the original statement. It is, however, true that Sir J. Lawrence has urgently demanded the with drawal of the disarmed sepoy regiments. These men are perpetually plotting, and they fill the heads of the 'Mulwaie' Sikhs with suspicion and disaffec tion. These Mulwaie' Sikhs, who form about a third of the Sikh force, are Poorbeas by blood, and only adopted the blue robe and the faith of the Nanac after the Khalsa had become powerful. They are confined to the Cis-Sntlej States, and arc large boned, well made, brave men, but want the dash and elatt of the true Sikh. Sir John Law rence, since the movement in the 10th Punjab In fantry, has suspended their further enlistment, and is bringing down hillmen, chiefly Dogras, to supply their place. They are a source of great anxiety, since, even if the Sikhs of the dis trict remain faithful, the massacre of the offi cers, with which the Mulwaies of the 10th meant to commence operations, commits the regiment. The dislike to move displayed by Government in this matter of the disarmed regiments is extraordi nary. Once dispersed they could add nothing to the strength of the enemy, while they retain some 12 regiments of Europeans inactive, except as guards. A few days ago the remnants of th e 19th and 43d N. I. we re amagamated with two other regiments at Barrackpore, but the regiments, though without men or officers, are still officially in existence. " Proceeding southward we have an army' of rebels who, after flying over half Rajpootana, have broken into Meywar. There General Roberts, with a strong force. of 1,100 Europeans, 350 of whom are cavalry, 750 natives, and 400 sowars, has at last come up with them. He had apparently, however, left his cavalry to guard his camp, for the only re sult of the skirmish was a loss of seven men to the enemy. By the latest accounts the rebels were at Povien, supposed to be marching either to Joudh pore or Oodeypore. Gen. Roberts was about 25 miles behind, but as he -marches 14 miles a-day, and the rebels 40, his chance of overtaking them is small. A third force, consisting of about 400 Europeans, with eight guns, 350 N. 1., and 650 N.C. has gone out from Neemuch, and the rebels will scarcely obtain aid in Oodeypore. Nothing saves them from destruc tion except the admirable skill with which they run away, and that cannot serve them for ever. It is the peculiarity of the Indian empire, as it was of the Roman, that it has nothing beyond it. Between Central Asia and the sea there is no escape from British power. In Ulwar, also, there has been a disturbance. The Mussulman population of the city rose on the 7th of August and attacked the Minis ter Fyzoolla Khan. Two of his relatives were killed, and his own life was threatened, but he appears to have called on the Hindoo population, and by latest accounts had driven the rebels out of Ulwar. With these two exceptions the whole of the vast territory included in the Punjab, Rajpoo tana, and the North-West Provinces, as far south as Allahabad, may be said to be free from danger. There are some thousands of rebels cowering about Gwalior, and gangs of dacoits keep up a feeling of uneasiness everywhere, but there is no enemy a police regiment is not competent to manage. " In Oude itself several important successes have been gained. Capt. Dawson, with 400 military police and 50 horsemen, attacked Sundela on the 11th August. S un d e l a is the old cantonment about 25 miles north-west of Lucknow. The enemy, who were commanded by Feroze Shah in person, are officially estimated at 3,000 strong, with five guns. They were, however, defeated with the loss of 100 men; and a native noble, with 700 followers, was put in possession of the town. I told you Maun Singh had written for aid from Fyzabad, and that Sir 11. Grant had been despatched to his assistance. The relieving force arrived at Fyzabad and occu pied the city, the sepoys flying towards Sultanpore. Following up the blow, Sir H. Grant on the 9th August despatched Brioudier Horsford, with a por tion of his troops, to attack Sultanpore. That officer arrived on the 13th inst., and, after a brief, but severe engagement, drove the rebels across the Goomtee, and shelled Sultanpore. This also was evacuated, part of the fugitives making towards Azimghur, and part doubling back, in the hope of reaching Gonda. Thither a large division of the Fyzabad sepoys had previously fled, and, as they are all nearly destitute, and all demand pay, the un ' lucky Rajah of Gonda is at his wits' end. So keenly is he oppressed by the depletion of his treasury that he has written to Lucknow to beg for terms. It is questionable if he will obtain them, but the recent victories have produced an extraordinary effect, the country between - Lucknow and Fyzabad, and Fyzabad and Sultanpore, submitting at once. Cen• tral and eastern 'Oud e may b e considered therefore quelled. North-eastern Oude is still rebel, while the south and the neighbouring districts of Azimghur, Jounpore, Allahabad, Benares, Buxar, and Ghazee pore are disturbed by the broken fragments of the Oude armies. In each zillah, however, they are hunted by active officers with picked Europeans. Colonel Berkely has nearly cleared Allahabad, and Major Carr at Iltiscar, on the Bth of August, cut up about 100. He put 100 Europeans on elephants, took some light cavalry and a few Madras Rifles, and marched as fast as the mutineers. Alf these broken gangs skulk gradually southwards to what is now their rendezvous, the great jungle near Jugdespore. No attempt has been made to drive them thence during the fortnight. They have plundered Mus reegunge, threatened Arrah, and attempted to attack Doomraon, but the general position of affairs is as when I last wrote. Lord Clyde, however, has- or dered a collection of 5,000 men by the cold weather to finish the Sahabad affair. Confined as the Bhoj poorees are by the angle formed by the Some and the Ganges, both unfordable, they have little chance of escape. The remainder of Bengal is perfectly quiet. You will perceive from this account that it is only in one section of Ouch) that anything worthy to be called war at present exists. Tha embers, however, are scattered, not extinguished, and the Commander-in-Chief is doubtless wise in colleen- trating the great army he intends to lead in the cold weather. By the 25th of October an army of 25,000 Europeans and 10,000 natives, chiefly ca valry, will be collected at Cawnpore. This is, I believe, a larger force of Europeans than has ever been collected in an Indian campaign, and might march *om, one end of the empire to the other with out seeing a foe. It is strong enough, at all events, to convince the landholders of Onde that they have no resource but unconditional submission. . . "'There will remain the far more difficult work Of - reconstruction, particularly in 'finance. • Th e cnoriaous expenditure going on appears to have attracted attention at home, for the Gazelt? of the 14th inst. contained the following notification , Fort William, Home Dapartmeat, Aug. 6. "'Notification.—The following extract . (paragraph 38) of a despatch from.. the Hon. the Court of Directors m t'-_e CHINA. Our Hong Kong advices are to the 12th of Aug. The Governor-General of the province of Canton, whose malignant proclamations and addresses to the " braves ' were brought to England by the last mail, had received news of the concision of a treaty of peace, and had immediately announced it to the Cantonese. The immediate effect of this notification was a cessation of the rocketing and gun-firing at night, so that the garrison at Canton was able once more to sleep in peace. It was hoped that the first fruits of the Treaty would be permanent, and that the kidnapping and similar dastardly modes of war fare practised by the braves would cease. Great dis satisfaction was felt at Hong Kong because the Earl of Elgin had appointed Shanghae as the place for adjusting the rate of the tariffs, and also for not making known the terms of the treaty. The Friend of Chita of the 10th of August states that " doubts have been diSseminated as to whether the Emperor knows of the terms .of the treaty," and that such uncertainty was injuring our prestige with the Chinese. Hwang's proclamation, however, should dispose of these doubts. The Friend continues : " Doubtless the Earl has carried reserve too far. For instance, mischief must ensue from the circum stance of Sir John Bowling on one occasion pro claiming to the Chinese of Hong Kong that the new treaty was signed on the 26th of June, and on another that it was on the 3d of July. As regards the Emperor's assent to the terms of the treaty, there appears no'ground for believing but that his Majesty has dealt with this business as his predeces sor did with that of Nankin, and issued. an edict directing its provisions to be carried into effect." The Earl of Elgin and Sir Michael Seymour both left Shanghae together, on the 30th July, for Japan direct. The Earl, according to the North Chi na Herald, expected to be back there to meet the Im perial Commissioners, in. order to consider the new tariff, within a fortnight. I:wastrthhaotugthhet probal,le that in about the same period. Sir Michael Sevr tour at Ja p a would return, to Hong s to 3 n , tender the Asdilniral liNs'as inferred did not intend a long from the return of his Coromandel to Hong Kong. The Russian envoy remained at Tien-tsin. A large number of Russian sli;.ps and steamers were in the vicinity of, or on totir way to, the Pei-ho. Respecting the settlement of the tariff's, the North China Hera 3d says :--- " It has taken eve+_yone somewhat by surprise to learn that Kweili an& and Illyashana, the com mis,ioners who per , otiated the foreign treaties, arc on their way .ir,tl - - - the +- wy sotah, ostensibly to assist in revising tariff. We should have thought such a task would, } tardly have devolved upon officials of so high a Tx.rWttion in the empire. Associated with them are 417 - i'in, formerly hoppo at Canton, and now a vice-lltesident of the Board of Revenue, and Mings.hen, or whom as vet we have learned nothing more. The:/ are to consult with Ho Kwei-tsing, governor-go lord of these provinces. The decree, we are was i.w.ted oti, the Wth inst., and A NEW COLOURING MATTER. In a communication addressed to the Academy of Sciences, M. Verdeil announces the discovery of a green substance extracted from the flowers, of plants, and quite distinct from the green of their leaves. It is well known that the extremities of the petals of a flower, by which they adhere to the chaly, are white ; in buds they are whiter still, and particularly in the flower of the thistle. If this white part be boiled in water, and then subjected to pressure, the juice obtained will be colourless, and remain so in contact with the air ; but if a few drops of a solution of carbonate of soda'or limewater be added, the surface of the liquid will gradually assume a green colour, and if it be well shaken the ' whole will become dark green. If there be an ex cess of alkali the green will acquire a yellowish tint ; in that case a little acetic acid will transform it into a bluish green. Alum, the acetate of lead, and the deutoxide of tin precipitate fine green lakes of different shades from the liquid. These lakes, being separated by filtration, and dried, maintain their colour, and resist the influence of light. The protoxide of tin forms a yellow precipitate, and also changes to yellow the green lakes obtained with alum and the acetate of lead. In order to insulate the colouring principle the lake obtained with acetate of lead is decomposed by sulphuric acid diluted with much alcohol at 40 deg. of Beaume ; the colouring principle is dissolved by the alcohol, while the lead combines with the sulphuric acid. The liquid is then filtered and heated with ether, which pre cipitates the colouring principle— O n being col lected on a filter, washed with water, and dried, it is found to be of a yellowish brown ; it does not melt, but is decomposed by heat ; it cannot be sub limated, but will burn away, leaving some slight traces of ashes. It is insoluble in water and in acids, not very soluble in alcohol, but is very easily dis solved in alkalies, to which it communicates a green colour. An excess of acetic or hydro-chloric acid will turn the colour into red and precipitate it. Concentrated sulphuric acid dissolves the colouring principle, and gives it a brilliant red colour. This colouring matter has great affinity for aluminous mordants fixed on cotton, but it does not directly dye either silk or wool. M. Verdeil conclud es b y saying that our thistles and artichokes are not suffi ciently rich in this colouring principle to admit of its bung used as a dye on a large scale, but that those ofthe warmer climates most probably contain this substance in larger quantities.
