By F. B. COURTENAY, _ _ And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the Cure of Strictures of tile Urethra. " This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a•valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—➢ledical Circular, Dec. let, 1858.

In short, his propo sition was, that Mr. Bruce should wait in the Gulf of Pecheli until he came out to him, and at Peh tang until the commissioners were in Pekin. This overture Mr. Bruce most properly declined. Indeed the letter was returned in consequence of the cha racters being informal in the place assigned to those indicating the Queen's name. The attack was then made, which, notwithstanding the unsurpassed gallantry of Admiral Hope and every one in the fleet, was unfortunately unsuccessful. Such was the conduct pursued by. Mr. Bruce. Mr. Ward, the American Minister, had come up from Shanghai, and, like the English and French Ministers, had demanded a passage up the Tien-tsin river. He made preparations for fighting, and, though his tender grounded, his boats, under Com modore Tatnall, most nobly assisted the allied force After the action he made overtures to the Chinese, and, after nearly a month's delay, a decree arrived authorising his admission into the capital, there to exchange ratifications with Kweiliang and Hwas hana, who had returned from Shanghai for the purpose. With a very limited suite he left Peh-tang in conveyances ill-found and of the lowest class in use. Neither chairs nor horses were allowed him. He was smuggled into Pekin with such absence of parade that the common people were with difficulty persuaded that any foreign envoy had entered the city. Arrived there he found himself a species of prisoner in a large building in but indifferent re pair, exit from which was rendered difficult by a strong guard posted round it. They carried their orders to isolate the mission so far as to imprison two Russians who attempted to pay it a visit, while a Russian letter addressed to one of its members was intercepted and detained six days. But the crowning insult was to come. The Pre sident's letter to the Emperor was to have been de livered by Mr. Ward in person, but the commis sioners, finding that no amount of persuasion would induce him to prostrate himself when presenting it, suddenly wrote to know why, if unprepared to con form to this rite, he had come to Pekin at all.

They reminded him that by his treaty he had no right to require the exchange to be made at Pekin also that he had said at Shanghai that one place would suit him as well as another. This and the verbal explanation of the commissioners drew from Mr. Ward a letter, expressing " sincere regret" that he had " found himself unable to comply with the ceremonies of an audience," and the Emperor then consented to receive the President's letter from the hande of the commissioners. They were desired at the same time to hand Mr. Ward a decree from the Emperor, since published in the Pekin Gazette, in which he gives some curious and useful informa tion. Sang-ho-lin 7 sin, says the decree, had been directed to fortify Ta-ku, because last year the. English broke into the port and opened fire upon the garrison: The commissioners had told them at Shanghai that it was so fortified, and that their road must be Peh-tang ; yet they had returned to Taku, and again assuming.the offensive had been repulsed with loss : "Meanwhile, the American Envoy, John Ward, did abide by his engagement with Kweiliang and his colleague, sailed to the port of Peh-tang, and begged for permission to go up to the capital to present a letter from his Govern ment. We accordingly authorised his thimission into Pekin to present it, and having this day perused the letters ad dressed by the American Envoy, John Ward, to Kwoiliang and llwa shana, mad laid before us by those Ministers, we find their language so respectful, the true-heartedness that has prompted them such, that we have authorised the Envoy in quostion to present the letter he is charged with from hi s Government to Kweiliang and his colleagUe, whom wo have sent to receive it. _ _ . " As; regards the exchange of his treaty, he ought pro perly to return to Shanghai and exchange it there ; but, in consid( mation of the long voyage le has made, we (are please( l) specially to authorize that the seal be appended to the trc aty, and that it be delivered to Hang-fuh to hand it in exc:tiange (for another copy) to the aforesaid Envoy, that from t he date of the exchange there may be peace and com merce for evermore. Thus do we manifest our great desire to sho ct a nursing tenderness to the men from afar, and our apprceilition of good faith and right principle. Let Kwei liang and Ilwashana signify this our pleasure to the Envoy John "N ard, for his information. Respect this." To yeh-tan g the American Minister was accord, ingly conveyed, and at that town his treaty was exchrcnged, not with the Plenipotentiary Kweiliang, but with the provincial Hang-fuh. Thus were the conditions of Mr. Read's treaty fulfilled—a treaty whirl i places an American Minister on much the same footing when he visits the capital as an Envoy of Luo-Choo. Intercourse such as this could pro babl3c :have been had for the asking. However, the American treaties contain the favoured nation clause, and the United States will profit by the pre sent ptroceedings of France and England. Suc is a summary of the events which have pro duced, the Chinese expedition. We have an insult to av( :lige, a right to maintain. The establishment of dip lomatic /Cations on equal terms w ith safeguard inters Pe kin is the only suffi c i en t g uarant e a safeguard eteo th e Court our own interclsts in China, and the only adequ agair est the danger constantly ar i s i n g from the irre spoils ibility of the central G ov ernment for the of fence; a of its agents. Hitherto the Chinese Emperor has o b,stinately ref used to place himself on this foet ing o f equality. It is therefore impossible to mak e the Ciovernmen t acqua in ted with the true state of facts in any case that may arise, or.to ur g e those friendly re nionstran in ceswhieh so often prev en t a serioua• controversy European States, Wh en a foreipt er feels wronged, that an appe a l to hip Consul and knows will only produce a n appeal to his minis " r , a nd both Consul and sua ded that an appeal to the Chinese provincial will s i ra ply result in misrep resentation at Pekin, it i s not extraordinary if foreign subject and autho rity alike occasionally take the law into their own hands, and resort to vigorous measures. At Pekin alone is there any regard for the general interests of the empire. A provin c i a l Governor is concerned with his own province only, and probably jealous of his neighbour. His life and fortune are at the disposal of a Government profoundly ignorant of foreign_ affairs. Whether he resists the foreigner or yields to him, he is nearly certain of being ruined. It was to remedy this state of things, to enable a British Minister to hold direct intercourse with the Government of Pekin, that Lord Elgin so strenuously insisted on this clause of his treaty. It was for this that Mr. Bruce persisted in ex changing the ratifications at the capital, and at no other place. It is to avenge the perfidious attacks on their Ministers and their flags, and to enforce an obligation for treaty engagements, that the allied forces are about to sail. This enforcement is now more necessary than ever, not only for the en joyment of that we have lately acquired, but for the - retention of what we have long possessed.

TA-LIEN-WHAN BAY, JULY 20. In a few days the allied expedition will sail for Peiho and attack the Taku forts. Before hostili- ties commence it will be well to take a rapid survey of the causes which led to the present war, and of the real policy of the Chinese Court. It is now 10 years since the Emperor Hienfung assumed the rule over 400,000,000 men. De scended from a powerful race, to which China is indebted for two centuries of stable government, it hag hp,n hie tnicfnrtnnP fn fall nn a ravnlnfinnarY era. The child of a long-lived dynasty, debauchery and dissipation have rendered him prematurely old, and his life is already flickering in the socket. Ten years ago and no banner but his own waved on the walls of a fortified city from the banks of the Amoor to those of the Irrawaddy—from the shores of the Pacific to the foot of the Himalayas; ten years ago and his empire was safe from internal commotion, free from external war; and now his northern frontier is receding before a powerful and aggressive neighbour. His fairest provinces are in the hands of rebels. His capital is threatened by the arms of England and France, against whom he is preparing a hopeless resistance. In such mis fortunes has he become involved through a blind and imbecile policy which has neglected every favourable opportunity and spurned all friendly advice. No sooner had Hienfung ascended the throne than he determined on resisting all innovation, and thought only of restoring the old regime in all its force and rigour. His favourite adviser was an old councillor, who adjured him by the shades of his fathers to impose all along the coast the same re strictions on foreign intercourse as then existed at Canton, and to prepare for hostile and coercive measures. Well has he followed this advice, each succeeding year having afforded fresh proof of his uncompromising hostility to the barbarians. In the summer of 1850 her Majesty's ship Rey nard was despatched to the moxth of the Peiho with a letter from her Majesty's Government. Here was au opportunity of dispelling at once and for ever any doubt as to the character of his foreign policy. " Foreigners," says the Emperor in a de cree then published,— " Are under obligations to be grateful for our generosity and to live in peace and quiet among us. But their recent proceedings at Tien-tsin, in impudently forwarding de spatches direct to the Minister of State, can be looked upon only as contumacious and insulting in the extreme. We have accordingly given our demands that no reply be handed them, but that those documents be passed over in perfect silence as if they were of no consequence whatever. Now, as our code of ceremonies has ordained that the offi cials of the empire shall have no intercourse with fo reigners, wo accordingly require that our Ministers of State return no reply to the said foreigners, lest by so doing they give the slightest encouragement to their insolent arro• gance. But, whereas Seu-Kwangtsing, our viceroy at Can ton, has hitherto conducted our affairs there in a very trusty manner, and has shown himself thoroughly ac quainted with the diabolical schemes and manoeuvres of foreigners, and seeing, moreover, that Canton is the first province reached by foreigners, we appoint that all such matters be hereafter referred to Seu-Kwangtsing. This we pubjash as the invariable and unalterable law of the Em pire." Foremost among the liberal statesmen of China stood Keying. He had the courage to propose a liberal policy, and the fidelity to inform his master of the truth, however unpalatable. He was the first victim to imperial wrath. "As for Keying," says the decree which degraded him,— " His unpatriotic and pusillanimous conduct is to us a matter of unmixed astonishment. When ho was at Can• ton, for instance, he seemed only anxious to make our people subserve the interest of foreigners, all the while over looking the claims of his native country. Is not this evi dent from his proposal to throw open the gates of that city, whereby he violated the principles of Heaven, outraged the feelings of men, and all but introduced a series of innova tions the result of which it is beyond human power to divine? Recently, during a private interview, Keying spoke to us freely of the English—how much they were to be dreaded, and strongly urged on us the necessity of a mild and conciliating policy. He supposed that we were not aware that his knavish object was merely to secure rank and emolument to himself. Oh, how fallen and degraded is he ! The more he speaks the more do we discover this, so that at last we have the same contempt for him that we have for a wild yelping cur." Soon after lieyin: 6 ' B d egradation the conduct of he officiPl' the gave ample evidence had been inaugurated. seaboardpolicy However, the o utbreak of the rebellion afforded along & oat a reactionary employment sufficient to the Imperial troops. At length, in 1854, the Americans tendered their aid in suppressing the insurrection. Iliang, th e Vice roy, thus reports to the Emperor his interview with the American Minister, Mr. M‘Larte :-- " Ho subsequently handed in a communication in very obaoquim plawlogii QM t ll9 Wl°l° it differed 1494):41g , FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 5, 1860. from the language he had employed, except in the addi tions that, if on representations made to the throne he should be honoured by your Majesty's assents to his re quests, it would behove him, of course, to assist China in completely removing her cause of disquiet. Now, it is the opinion of your slave that inasmuch as the American bar barians, hitherto accounted so submissive, have taken pos session of the present juncture to press their demands, re- liance is not to be placed in their Co-operation, though they promise it in the restoration of order. Their example will probably.be followed, and to a much more serious extent, by the English and French barbarians." The Emperor replies in an edict of July 15 : " His (Mr. M‘Lane's) own communication contained re quests that did not appear in the letter of his Government, and his conduct was otherwise presumptuous. Let him see out at once for Canton; it will be Yeh's duty to forestall his malice, holding fast by the treaty, and addressing him authoritatively in peremptory language." Conduct like this affords sorry encouragement to those who are now disposed to assist the Govern ment against the rebels in the neighbourhood of Shanghai. Soon after the contemptuous rejection of Mr. APLane's proposal the representatives of the - treaty Powers were proposing a joint expedition to the North for the revision of the treaties. His Majesty was informed of their intehtion, and told they were driven northward by their dread of Yeh, "him whom they were accustomed to fear." "It is the nature of barbarians," replies the Emperor, "to be cunning and maliciou- As to the forms to be observed by the Geyer ='- General Yeh, in his = reception of the barbarian ;efs, let him religiously adhere to the old rules.' Nor is he, because of the application of these barbarians to be treated some what more liberally, to make any concession, no matter how small, lest it tend to dissipate their fears." Yeh, thus encouraged, pursued a course which led to the "Arrow case" in 1856, the storm ing of Canton, the Viceroy's imprisonment and death at Calcutta, the forcing a passage up the Peiho, and the treaty of Tien-tsin. By this treaty five great points were gained. 1. An English Ambassador might reside in permanence at Pekin, or go backward or forward from time to time ; and England being "an independent nation, and on equality with China," the Ambassador, when he approached the Emperor, was not to perform any ceremony that might affect the dignity of his nation. 2. The Queen was to have the right of appointing Consuls at the trading ports, and new ports were to be opened. 3. All teachers or pro fessors of the " doctrine of Jesus, the Lord of Heaven," were to be protected. 4. British sub jects were to be allowed to proceed to every place in the interior with passports to bo issued by the Consuls. 5. The Yang-tze was to be opened to British merchant vessels as soon as the rebellion was put down. Such were the terms obtained by Lord Elgin from a Court which ,had for the first time abandoned its pretensions to stand aloof from intercourse with all the Powers that would not acknowledge its supremacy; preten sions which were the constant cause of misunder standing, owing to the conceited self-insulation in which the Government was placed by its own acts. But though the skill and firmness of Lord Elgin had obtained these concessions, the greatest opposi tion was to be expected from the old Tory party, in a Government ever jealous of the most trifling no velty, and opposed to the smallest change. At the very time that Lord Elgin wasnegotiating at Tien tsin, the strongest pressure was placed upon the Emperor, and the terms of the treaty were most emphatically denounced. I have obtained posses sion of several documents stating the case of the Chinese opposition. It is of such importance that the real feeling of those who are now advising the Emperor and directing the material resources ofhis enormous dominions should be known, that I give one of these documents almost in extenso, and let the statesmen speak for themselves. Yin-Yau-Yung is now an old man, and has filled some of the highest rests in the empire- T - L , 1 0..L.ontrle Censor. Vice- President in the Court of Revision of Criminal Cases, and now occupies a similar place in a Court of the Elan-Lin Academy. Sang-ko-lin-sin, to whom he refers, is the Tartar chief who commanded at the Taku forts last year, and who is now generalissimo of the Chinese force : "Your Majesty's servant Yin-Yau-Yung presents a memorial, prostrate beseeching your Majesty, for that the proposed conditions of peace are in the extreme pernicious, to choose freely from among the opinions of plain reasoners, to thrust out with vigour those who counsel what is vicious, andlby speedily deciding on a policy suitable to the great interests at stake to turn danger into safety. "Ile would humbly represent that ever since the vaga bond barbarians first revolted, the sole study of your Minis ters in their ignorance and inefficiency has been to be at peace with them. For every day the State reposed itself, for so many did they, princes of the blood, or secretaries of State, repose themselves, finding no moment for contem plation of that future which was causing hidden sorrow to the empire's Gods. New, whereas the evils that have be fallen us at Tien-tsin in those days are the result of the complaisance of Kishen, Kiying, and Ilipu on a former occasion, if in this second instance those charged with the administration be similarly complaisant, the issue will be very much more disastrous. "The conditions of peace, it has been lately reported, aro nearly arranged, and among them are such articles as those providing indemnity for war expenses. That isto say, that China, the mighty, mighty empire of Ta Tsing, is to be constrained by a few thousand barbarians ; that they have but to command it, and she shall tender them her land or her cities. But of the clauses which are most pernicious, there are none so woeful as those which authorise the esta - blishment of a residence in the capital, trade up the rivers in the interior, and the propagation of the Gospel in the provinces. The heart of those who have heard it burns with vexation. Every one knows, aye, even to the women and children, that it ought not to be. Do not, says an ancient proverb, over-advantage a tribe not your own, for it will be certain to force itself into your place. ' How,' said the founder of the Sung dynasty, ' shall I allow any ono to snore on the ledge of the bed on which I sleep myself?' The capital is a precious spot. Had the outer barbarians brought tribute thither, still should free ingress and egress have been prohibited them, intercourse with them fended off, and, the ceremony of their presentation over, they should have returned without being allowed to loiter and delay. How, then, when they come with violence and hostility, with a feud that has lasted through generations, are they to be suffered to station officers here in official resi donces, to have their free say, to roam at random about the centre of the empire, filling its highways and byways with the Kiang and the I (barbarians from west and east). Never, indeed, from ancient days until now, have such things been heard of. " The Great River (Yang-tze), in that it passes through Kiang-nan, Cheh-Kiang, and Sz -Chu'en, is in fact the line which divides the empire in half. There is a difference be tween it and ports along the sea coast. If trade at these has been a mistake, the country may be compared to the body of a man suffering as it were from paralysis in his four limbs ; with the civilized and the barbarians huddled together up the river, the paralysis is attacking his bowels. The salt exercise of Hwai-ngan, Yang-chau, and Hang hau is in great disorder. The salt smugglers are commit ting every atrocity. If they get the rebellious barbarians to become their receivers, the whole revenue derivable from salt will revert to the barbarians and the officers of Govern ment will be ruined. Nor is this all,—the more ports they occupy, the more stir they will make ; the more complicated their intercourse with the Chinese, the more easily will causes of quarrel present themselves. The local autho rities, if they favour the barbarians, will outrage the people ; if they favour the people they will outrage the barbarians, who, withal, regard the seizure of a Governor-General, or a Secretary of State, as they do the tying up of a dog or a pig. What extent of mischief do their hearts it secret not contemplate perpetrating ? To admit them upon the river would be like keeping a tiger in one's balcony or sup porting a robber in one's house. They may break out into ' violence at any moment. Could WO in such a case obtain even a place apart to be at peace in, if we required it, as under the Eastern Tsin dynasty (AD. 312-416), or the Southern Sung (1163-12 , 31) ? "To come to the propagation of religion. Without being versed in the religion of the Lord of Heaven, your servant takes its general aim to be to disturb the world, to bewilder the people, to foster privily a desire for what is strange. Were it otherwise, w h y s hould the nations th a t h ave em braced it—who, o f course, are free to practi se it them selves—insist on proselytising, or, granted their right to proselytize, go roaming through the provinces, working and slaving as they do, u ndaunted by fatig ue ? Th e re bels of the late period have also made profession of the doctrine of the Lord of Heaven. The poisonous influence of its propagators, exciting and deceiving, binding themselves in shall have suc h alliances, is pla inl y spreading. When they travelled throuGh the provinces, and informed themselves o i c u mo piop 4A the empire, 01 the ftAtl,VVi 94 the country and the strength of its positions, the power and weakness of its forces, the fatness and leanness of its lands, they will contract relations with the powerful and influential in every place they visit ; they will assist the poor and needy so as to work on men's hearts. They are good proofs that these are the means ever employed by the English bar barians, as silkworm-like they eat their way into little States. " Sang-ko-lie-sin has a redoubtable force; he is well versed in war, offensive and defensive. 'Were he to rouse himself the rebellious barbarians would feel some fear. In the late collision of Tien-tsin people and the barbarians, the barba rians feared to meet them. Some of the salt smugglers and pirates who would have seized their ships fell down on their knees before the Imperial Commissioner and the Governor • General, and volunteered to fight en masse. Permission was refused, and they did not like to act on their own responsi bility. Who will say that the people are not equal to the occasion ? Let your Majesty debire Kweiliang and Hwashana not to confine their whole attention to negOtiat ing peace. Let Tan Ting• siang stir up the troops and the people ; let high rewards be secretly offered ; let prepara tion be made where needed, every near city being called on to enrol militia and hold them in readiness to move ; and let your Majesty at the same time issue a decree, widely proclaiming chastisement and subjugation. Our prepara tions completed in so many ways, then, some morning when in their malice they are minded to do what seems good unto them, let Sang-ko-lin-sin with his large force hem them in in front, let the Braves from all sides close on them in rear. Let off the water of the river as well, and so choke the river. Thus, the barbarian ships shall not be able either to advance or retire. If it be alleged that these means are not sufficient to put their lives in our power, your servant does not believe it. " When the advisers of the State tell us ' If you fight and are not victorious, the situation is desperate," let them be told Get more troops and fight again.' In war there is victory and defeat; in peace there is defeat, no victory. When they say ' If you are victorious in this instance they will avenge their defeat in another, and then your situation is desperate,' let them be told ' Fight on, once for all ; your enemy is of the nature of a dog or sheep ; once chastised and subdued, he will not dare to avenge it.' Look at his defeat at Formosa, in the reign of Tan-Kwang. All he did was to throw himself on Keying and Tahungah, but his mouth watered no more for Formosa. Herein is another proof of his want of power. From of old there has been bloodshed from arms, danger from battle. This is unavoid able. When man has done his best, he must abide the will of heaven. Who shall win and who lose, not Chu-hoh-liang (a famous warrior A.A. 230) himself could foretell. The advisers of the State maintaining that there is no certain issue in their hands would shake your sacred Majesty's de cision. They are closing men's mouths, checking the ardour of the army, and having lost the day by their inactivity are simply watching for reports, soliciting to surrender them selves accordingly. Yet why ? For years there has been war in the provinces, without any constant rule of good or ill success. There has been some of both on either side. And have your servants, in despair to think that the issue was not in their hands, ever requested your Majesty to lay the bow and arrow in its case ? " May your Majesty, considering in its integrity the inte rest of the empire, look far before you to the troubles that are to come hereafter, and knowing how little hope there is of satisfying the desires of the barbarians, bethink you that there is still time to recover things from their present con dition. It does not follow that everything uttered by your Ministers or those of the Imperial kindred should be cor rect. It cannot be that from among the measures suggested by your lesser servants there is nothing worth selection. " Members of the Government, whichsoever of you al lowed the barbarian ships to sail into the river, whichsoever of you have urged compliance with demands of which the barbarians were insisting ; ponder it well day and night', and it may chance that you will take the same view of your perversity and misdoing, and admit to yourselves that it was because of your dread of punishment that you simu lated this pertinacious stolidity; and let your Majesty, who will not have the heart to award these Ministers banish ment or death, command them to return home, admonish them to wash their hearts, purge their thoughts, and im prove as they grow older, which if they do not, they will find it hard to escape the penalty of the statutes. Let Kweilang, Hwashana, and Tan Ting •siang be strictly en joined, when lawless demands are insisted upon, not to lay their responsibility upon fate, but when the case presents itself, to fight without tarrying and looking behind them. " Your Majesty's plans once decided, your commands once issued, from sea to sea there will be felt a thrill of emotion, and all will know that, at the will of the Supreme, his servants and his people are made resolute and the bar barians are dismayed. On the punishment inflicted by your Celestial Majesty reform will follow, and it will rest with us H a mpn wily grasp or to lnnsen it we may exterminate or we may conciliate ; we may modify our cause as the occasion appears to demand. "Your servant is not unaware that your Majesty's ears have already been sated with words such as he has spoken to-day. It is only because of his extreme trouble at danger so serious that he has intruded things regarding which he should have been silent. It is with tears that he thrusts his representations upon your attention ; and prostrate ho implores thereon the penetrating glance of your sacred Majesty's intelligence." The Emperor was not disposed to yield to these touching appeals so long as the smart little gun boats which had blown up the Taku forts lay under the walls of Tien-tsin. He therefore granted every thing. But the moment the gunboats were with drawn he assumed a different tone, and his whole bearing during the year which intervened between the negotiation of the treaty and the time at which ratified copies were to be exchanged at Pekin clearly showed that he would not fulfil stipulations as dis tasteful to Chinese prejudices as they were important to English interests. He was evidently prepared to oppose such provisions, regardless of good faith or honesty, and to oppose them by force if necessary. The war party, immutable as ignorant, was strong, and their exclusive policy, thoroughly Chinese, re commended itself to the Emperor. Accordingly delays innumerable were opposed to Mr. Bruce. At length, a year having nearly expired, he ex pressed his intention of proceeding to Pekin, where, according to the terms of the treaty, the ratifica tions were to be exchanged. Thereupon the Com missioners proposed that the ratifications should be exchanged at Shanghai, and were referred to the treaty. They then suggested a land journey of 1,000 miles, occupying 38 days. Mr. Bruce, how ever, declared his intention of going by sea in the usual way, to which the Commissioners replied they could not reach Pekin in time to meet him. It would take them upwards of two months to perform a journey which they did the previous year in five weeks, and which they afterwards accomplished in the same time. Their plain intent was to keep Mr. Bruce at Shanghai and prevent his getting to Pekin at all. Wearied with their frivolous excuses Mr. Bruce gave notice that Admiral Hope was proceed ing with his squadron to the Peiho to announce the approach of himself and M. de Bourboulon, and suggested that the Commissioners might employ a Chinese-owned steamer to take them North. They replied that they durst not themselves go north by steamer without orders, but would hasten back, as the Emperor had commanded, by the post line. They would be glad that the men-of-war composing Mr. Bruee's escort should anchor outside the bar, and that he should proceed overland to Pekin with little baggage and a moderate suite. Mr. Bruce would be handsomely received, and the Commis sioners trusted that thenceforth the relations be tween the two countries would be of the most friendly character. Up to this time there had never been even a hint that the waterway to Tien-tsin was closed, nor a word about any particular route. By the French text of the Russian Troaty her diplomatic agent may come to Pekin—" en passant par Kiaklita et Ourga, soit par Takou a l'enibouchure du Peiho, soir par toute outre ville ou port ouvert de la Chine." No specified route is laid down in the Eng lish Treaty for her Ambassador. Ile may o as he likes, and by Article 5 4 it " is expressly b ts isub / pulated that the British Govi xnmen t an d t. n equal participat ion jeds will be allowed free and. come and...git in all privileges, immunities, by his Majesty Government or may be hereafter granta the Emperor of China to the . and advantages that proceed to he sea, and Mr. Bruce route to Pekin from t sub jects of any other nation."

There was a new favourite brought into the market for the Cesarewitch, Dulcibella, who was backed at all prices from 50 to 1 down to 100 to 7 ; and, as a matter of course, offers against Bevis were plentiful.

Everson has won Doggett's Coat and none a great importance; but Badge, beside s other races, Finnis has been both victor and vanquished in a great many encounters, and has rowed the finest waterman'e ecullera' race ever seen, having three years ago contested against Tom White, who lately aspired to the championship, and who only beat him by half a length from Putney to Mort lake; ho also rowed White's brother Harry twice, winning one race and losing the other, aid has rowed several races besides. The condition was that they should row in old fashioned boats, but Everson's boat was an extremely un fair one, although in a certain measure it came within the articles. The Venus and the Citizen 13 accompanied the race, and Mr. Newnham having been appointed referee, the men got away—Finnis with the best place. They had no sooner started than Everson went right away, and although Finnis rowed very pluckily, his boat was like a log com pared with the other, and Everson came in first 100 yards ahead. An objection was subsequently raised that Ever son's boat was an unfair one, and the race remains unde cided. AKE ARIEL ROWING CLUB.
