Henceforward, his name and reputa tion will not be merely European. They will be hailed with enthusiasm in the New World, and every citizen in the United States will acknow ledge the candour and fairness of his policy, and the straightfordwardness of the course which he has pursued. Last week Lord PALMERSTON mado an attempt ---,we trust it may be positireiy his last appear ance for the present session—to fling dirt en his opponents. He, however, took but little by his mot ion, - receiving a complete answer from the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Au interrogatory was, howeve . if;e:xbibited last night, framed in a very different spirit—one that was calculated to obtain amile information on the interesting nut ject, and to add the weight of the highest living authority on the actual state of the existing law to the course adopted by the British Governmert. Lord LYNDIRTRST asked that the correspondence with the A.Merican Government, in respect to the right of visitation, should be published. But he, at the same time, delivered what may be almost considered as a judicial judgment, which proved that the unwarrantable acts and assumptions so loudly complained of by our transatlantic brethren, by whom directed or sanctioned, has not yet appeared, save that the present Govern malt had nothing to do with the question, were wholly illegal and unjustifiable. livery writer of any authority oil internationpl law has always declared that no light of search or visitation existed of a vessel sailing under a friendly flag. If that fl l i g were fraudtilently assumed, it could not, of course, protect the 1131: - oreunts by .w h om it was used ; but tl:e visitors made the search at their own risk. If they were in error as to the character or neutrality of the ship, they should be answerable for any damages or injury sustained. This liability ought to rea der parties duly careful not to act on mere sus• pioion, or on false or. inaccurate inforuaation. Unfortunately, however, in some instances, has been more perceptible than discretion. Whe ther the hints come from Whitehall, or the Ad mirers office, or merely from the Captain's cabifi, they were rather too roughly acted on, and we can easily conceive the irritPion that might be IT N,- fIND_O'N, ezcited in the mind of an independent :TCNAITAN 1 at an unceremonious and unjustifiable visit and 1 scrutiny into his private affairs. The Cabinet of Washington complained, and that of St. James's answered promptly, honour ably, and candidly. There was no evasion or subterfuge. The pretended claim was fairly and unequivocally abandoned. The opinions of the law officers of the Crown had been taken, and they were acted on without delay. These opinions have now been confirmed, as we have already stated, by the highest living authority, and must be recognised as sound and unquestionable law. But theunitsual candour, the absence of quibbling, on the part of the Foreign Secretary, was some thing really astounding. It has elicited an ex pression of good feeling on the part of the Ameri can Government, and we may now anticipate that concessions will be made, and privileges granted, that would never have been obtained had we adopted the usual practice of diplomatic menda city and equivocation. We trust the United States and France will prove that their standards shall no longer be abused, or permitted to shelter the most nefarious conduct. It is no less for their own honour than for the interests of huma nity that they should do so. Within five years there have been 5,128 dither total or partial shipwrecks on our coast, 2,184 of the former and 2,944 of the latter. In these, 4,148 persons have lost their lives, to say nothing of those seriously injured, and the money value swallowed up in the insatiable ocean has been 7,500,0001. or 1,500,0001. per annum. We have these facts on the high authority of Mr. WILSON, who has brought forward all matters connected with the subject clearly and efficiently, as he is capable of doing whenever he pleases. He is cer tainly entitled to the highest credit for the zeal and assiduity which he has displayed in this in teresting and important question, and for the manner in which he has brought it forward. The Government have also promptly responded to the application and granted the Commission, which will, we trust, lead to the completion of Harbours of Refuge wherever they may be re• quired along our coast. The cost of the harbours recommended by the Committee would, it appears, amount to 2,500,0001.—a large sum, not to be lightly ex pended. But what is offered to the other side of the account ? The interest of that capital would amount to 75,0001„ or perhaps 80,0001. per annum. The money losses by wrecks on the coast are 1,500,0001. Of course, some would] still occur, even under the most favourable circum stances. But we believe that we are more than justified in asserting that at least half of these arise from preventible causes. From 750,0001. to 800,0001. is thus destroyed, literally flung into the sea, which might be saved for the tenth part of the amount. Nor is this all. Between 400 and 500 lives, the majority of them skilful and experienced seamen, are sacrificed in each and every year in the same manner. We forfeit a thousand per cent, on the money cost, and sacri fice 420 victims per annum, to the same shallow, " penny-wise and pound-foolish" policy. Besides, the required 2,500,0001. would not be thrown away. It would merely be transferred from one pocket to another, there would be no diminution of national wealth in consequence of the outlay, although there would be at enormous increase of Olaf; very wealth from the results, It would give employment to hardy and energetic labourers, whose money would circulate rapidly in the vicinities i n which they were working, increasing the prosperity and the revenue of the country. The most superficial observer must admit that it would be better to have a thousand pounds thus expended than property worth five hundred de stroyed. There are abundant reasons for the construction of harbours of refuge, even on a more enlarged scale than recommended by th) committee. It must, however, be borne in mind that the works are for the benefit of posterity, and that therefore the expense may fairly be added to the national burdens, for which our children and children's children will have to provide. The great problem has been solved. Baron LIONEL DE ROTHSCHILD, for twelve sue ccssive years the chosen representative of the British metropolis, has been permitted to take th oaths and his seat in the manner and form which he declared to be most binding on his conscience. Posterity will scarcely credit the difficulties which have been raised, the animosities excited, on this simple question. Oar descendants will cartainly not have much cause to vaunt themselves on the wisdom of their ancestors. The case may be simply stated. It was deemed indispensable to the security of the British Constitution that every member of either branch of the Legislature should swear that he would not support the claims of certain imaginary beings who had no existence in, rerum naitcra to the Britisk Throne. It was not sufficient that he should prJfess true allegiance to Queen VICTORIA, but he should emphatically repudiate the un known and non-txisting Pretender ! should take the Lou'sD name in vain, in the exuberance of his loyalty and devotion to the gonse of Brunswick-. Well, a gentleman of unblemished reputation and enormous wealth was elected as one of the members of the British Metropolis. The voice of calumny it:;elf could not cast a slander on his private or public character, and his fitness for the high position for which he was; selected WA.4 univer sally admitted. He was prepared to swallow the ridiculous oath on every substantial point, but he did not approve of the form, which he candidly do Oared would not be binding on his conscience. But our sensible legislators would not permit this plain course to be adopted. The House of Com mons would not judge of its own privileges, and the Lords were only too anxious to obtain an opportunity of displayin g their bigotry and in tolerance. The matter has at length been settled, after a contest more tedious than that which took place before the walls of Troy. The Hereditary Legis lators have yielded albeit with a bad grace. They have yielded, however, and Baron LIONEL DE ROTHSCHILD has already voted in his capacity as member for the City of London, a collision between the co-ordinate branches of Parliament has been avoided, anti one of the latest marks of bigotry and intolerance has been erased from the national statute book.

The Calcutta' -Englishman , in its editorial com -Bth June has the following : mentary of the - 1‘ " The English nail of the 10th of May, and an outline of that of Cle 17th, reached us within an interval of forty-eig,ltt hours. The intelligence has produced a most painful impression, for it leads to the conviction that whilst the local au thorities are struggling hard to maintain British supremacy and re-establish order, Parliament is influenced by party spirit, and India, her future position and prosperity, ww3 matters of only secondary consideration. We therefore cannot hesitate any longer to impress' upon the attention of our readers at home our pre sent position, which will be best understood when , a . 0 state that whilst the British hold every fortress and placo of im portanca throughout the disaffac ted provinces, the country it3elf may be said to be in possession of the rebels. " Delhi, Agra, Jhansi, Shajehanpore, Calpee, Lucknow, Cawnpore, and Allahabad, are protected by European troops, but our authority scarcely extends beyond the reach of our guns, and the intervening districts are overrun by rebels and budmashes, who move about as they please, marking their course by plunder and destruction of property, and setting at defiance every attempt to restore order and tranquillity. Indigo factories, public and private bungalows, and railway depots have been burned, and we are thankful that these deeds have ndt been accom panied by the murder of Europeans, though doubt less not for want of inclination on the part of the rebels, but want of opportunities. It will be seen that our troops have again been engaged on seve ral occasions with the enemy, and, although in each instance perfectly successful, yet the majo rity of the rebels have, as usual, managed to escape. This, however, can hardly be wondered at, for in the absence of adequate cavalry, and with the dreadful heat of the season, pursuit of the fugitives would have been useless, and in all probability only added to the frightful mortality of our bravo men, who fall daily victims to the sun. We are not overstating the fact by men tioning, that sun-stroke, heat, and apoplexy, are regularly decimating the several corps engaged in the suppression of the rebellion, au apprehension which we Lave frequently expressed, and which, unhappily, is folly realised. " It was generally hoped that after the fall of Calpee our troops would have had comparative rest, and that campaigning was over until after the rain, our movements being during that period confined to such measures as could be carried out by means of our powerful steam flotilla and the numerous gunboats lately built ; indeed, the ar rangements which have been made for accommodat ing the Commander-in-Chief and his staff at Allaha bad, confirmed such impression. These hopes, however, have been disappointed by the sudden mutiny of the Gwalior troops, who fraternised with the rebels, and assumed the aggressive. It appears that the greater portion of the rebels who escaped from Calpee and Indorkee advanced towards Gwalior, and that their number swelled as they pro ceeded by Bydalgaon and Chulis. The moment news of the advance was received at Gwalior, the Maharajah ordered out his forces, took the com mand in person, and met the rebels near Mortar, which is about two .miles from the cantonments A battle ensued, and ended in the fraternisation of the Maharajah's forces with the rele2l3, he him self having to run for his life under the pro tection of the body-guard, which alone re mained faithful to him. The rebels are said te alpout 17,000 strong, sviah a, lags proportion of artillery and ,cavalry, and they are headed by the Nawab of Banda, Jhansi, Ranee ; Tautia Tepee, Rao Seheb, nephew of the infatuoue; Nana; Ram Rao Goviud, and Luelimun Nana, which latter was formerly the Chief of the Custom: •in the territory of the Gwaliur Rajah. Particular , of this intriny will be found in another column ; and we have cnly to mention that the _Rajah him self has safely reached Agra, where lie was receiveu with the salute due to his rank. The task of sub duing the Gwalior rebels devolves upon that ex cellent oflic3r Sir Hugh Rose. His force was t be at Mahona, which is exactly half-way batween Calpee and Gwalior, on the Ist instant, and a stront division under Major Macpherson left CAlpee on the 2d to join him. The Sipree Brigade was aisc marching to join him. Sipree and Mahona arc equidistant front Gwalior, the one directly south, the other east, so that the rebels will not be abh to escape in these directions. To the north is the Chumbul, and a small force from Agra will pre ve❑t them from crossing, so that there is ever ; prospect of their being hemmed in and compeller to fight. As, however, the extreme heat mus naturally render these movements SOM3 what slo we. than is deals able, we must not be too san;uine in our expectations of a prompt subjugation of the rebel , who, pending the advance of our forces, will gals addi , ional numbers of men, and, considering tin position which they hold, are not unlikely to offer strong resistance. We only trust that the report of Sir Hugh Rose being compelled b) illness to resign the command into other hand: may not prove correct. Of all the nautinie.s whirl have taken place in the various parts in India, that in Gwalior ought to have been the last to take us by surprise. Experience has shown that the rebels, whenever discomfited, or, as it may be more appropriately termed, dispersed, shortly afterward: concentrated on some other strong point, and aftsr being driven away from all the strongholds in Oudt and Rohilcund, it was almost to be foreseen that Gwalior would most likely be their next point o , reudezvou3. Maharajah Rao Scindiah hiaas&. seems to have been under that impression, for ho repeatedly applied through the political agent for aid, and it is even said that he went so far as to sa3 that half a regiment of European soldiers would enable him to keep the rebels in check. What reply was given to his application we know Lot, but the request for aid was not complied with, and what the Maharajah apprehended has occurred. What must be Rao Scindiales ideas of British power ? He will no doubt, in the end, find out that he has acted judiciously in sticking to ur, but few Princes in the position in which be was place(' would have done so." [A Madras despatch reports that the forces under Sir H. Rose had ret ►ken Gwalior on the 20th June, after a severe fight of four hours.] " We have at last the satisfaction to announcr that some of the rebel leaders have fallen into on , } iam b, Dara Shekoah and klajee Shekoah, tw, Princes of,the Delhi family, were arrested by the Thannadar of Kaisseinpere, in the Morababad dis- trict, but we have not learnt what his been dons with them.

He confirmed the death of his uncle, and was blown away from a gun by sentence of court-martial. A report has also been current that the Nana had been caught, and even the name of h:s captor is stated ; but no official intimation to that effect Las as yer, been made public.

We have to tell of two battles—one t victory, the other not unlike a defeat. The vic ory consists in the capture of the forts at the north of the Peiho—the other affair, an attack on a camp of braves about a dozen miles north-east of iJanton. Details of each of these matters will be found in separate columns. Our losses in both businesses were severe. Through the expLsion of nines, rather than by gun-shot, the casua'ties at the Peiho exceeded a hundred. At Canton some sixty were hors de combat from sun-stroke—besides bout a dozen killed, wounded, or made pri toners. In resumption of our usual chronicle of the movements of the Earl of Elgin, and the ether A.mbassadors, we have now to report as ibliows. ran, Governor-General of Chil le, having int;mAte , l authority to treat . ea Whalf of the Emperor, was requested to ohtain letters of similar purport o tho-e handed by Ilipu and Keying in the nego iati,ns at Nankin in 1542. What was the asto nishment of the Amb.4.s.iaclors to learn from the lips :f Ten, that Sir Henry Pottioger was imposed ipon, and that Keying forged the Emperor'd letters if authorisation of wtich. the E trl of Elgin had ent Tan copies ! It was the American ar,cl Russian Envoys who were told this ; neither the Eal of Elgin nor 131ron Gros have yet seen a Chinese IVlandar;n in the north. It is understood that on learning ,vhat Tan said, the Fr.'nch and English Arnbassa tors intimated to him that only at Peking would they now treat, and at once demanded a suitable escort. The time allowed for compliance with the rrquest having expired, Admirals Seymour and Be Genouilly were requested to see what virtue ay in shells ; and upon this the forts at the en trance of the river were taken. As the despatch bearers left the Gulf of Pecheli on the 22d ult., the allied squAdron ofgunbmts was proceeding to "Fe en-tsin. The Russian and American Envoys appear to lave been very uFeful as "go betw€ ens." Less punctilious than the French and English Minis era, the American at once declared to Tan what if was hi s G overn ment wanted ; discussed the let ails of a new treaty, and only broke off nego iations when Tan pint blank declared that Peking could be no place of residence for officers )f foreign Governments. The particular business f the Russian Envoy, in his conference with Tan (or Tan-tsing-siang) is said to have been confine] o the question of boundaries. In realiJy, how ever, there is no knowing whstthe Russ is up to. With the aid of the French Artillery, Sappers, larinea, and seamen, some 600 in all, which have just left Hong Kong for the Gulf, it is supposed that, after making a demonstration on Teen-tsin, the Admirals will simply hold the points captured, tnd maintain a strict blockade till cool weather sets n, when, with further reinforcements, we can ad fiance on the capital. As for concession from Hien ung until he is thoroughly punished and a prisoner, perhaps, we may not expect it. It is not improbable but next mail will convey o Europe the commencement of another series of "tales of the rebellion." Under Taiping-wang's Assistant King, Shih-tah-kie, a large force have hreatened, if ere this they have not captured, Ningpo. We are all anxious to see what kind of people these Nanking men will turn our. If as ardent as ever in their iconoc'astic propensities and still as Sabbath and Bible respecting as when thy .vere first discovered by the Rattlers, they could not fix their Government at a batter point ; for at Ningpo there is little or no foreign trade, and but itile acdvity beyond prayer-meeting and mis sionary school-teaching. Should they turn out as good as we • expect they will, the B,itish Givern meat should nor, by any means, again permit Sir John Bowring to practise his jesuitical intrigues, and exercise his power in stopping the progress of the revolution, as be did at °aurora in 1854-55. Certainly the Earl of Elgin is here to keep him in check, but it can be but partially. Trade has been very dull at Canton for some weeks past, and the news from Peking appears more than likely to putt a stop to it altogether. Far-seeing Chinese say that in a few weeks we shall have a difficulty in obtaining provisions, even in Hong Kong, for the Roves are at work now that they know the Emperor's - 1.%al sentiments. The Government in commission are acting as blindly 33 ever. A week or two ago they took off the em bargo on goads moving from the city. In twelve hours 18,000 packages were carried through die gates. This was alarming ;so interdiction again became the order of the day. Tho expedition in search of braves appears to have been a most ill-managed affair. Mr. Com missioner Parkes had re c e ived information from ono of his emissaries that tent 3 were pitched some where under the mountains to V - io north-east of Canton, and about abreast the Elh-tah barrier, s:iy midway between VVl:ampoa. ani Canton. This in formation being convoyed to Major-General Van Straubenzee, his Excell,ncy determined on a re connaissance. Off, accordingly, started Mc. Parkes, the General, the French Cummuclore, and Lome others (the Adjutant-General, Col. Stephenson, is in Hong Kong we see.) In course one of the temples on the mountain was reached, and there _RUE RRAY J tT ' 27, it'lB. they - v - ie — nt to fiieAffit - : Wand:ring away a little distance from the refe,ltory, one o: the patty hip petted to sae below the identical tents they were in search of. Such is the story as it has been given to 113 by one not an eye-witness. Whether upon this all of then returned to the city (we expect they did) — or, as we were first informed and reportad, a de tachment went back for reinforcements—we cannot say. But it is a fact that, with three days' rations, about sundown a large body of men left the city, and to support the movement a Naval Brigade, under Captain Gcenfell of the Amethyst, was orga nised. At this point we will let each arm of the service speak for iteef. Says a naval friend—" The Naval Brigade was in two divisions-210 men from the Tribune, Amethyst, and. Bittern, 150 from the Camilla, Hornet, and Actaeon. The last-mentioned division was under Colville of the Camilla (she only Commander in the Brigade), and left Canton at midnight. In due time they fell in with the other division near the Lancashire Witch, and a landing was effected in good order. But after that, whew !—Where were the roads ? How ever, on they went, till, when within a mile of the Brave's camp, Grenfell called a halt." Captain G— "would suggest that we went in at a dash" said the lucky Colville—Commander C—'s sugges ion passed unheeded—again suggested—again dis regarded. One hour, two hours, three m , rtal hours did that brigade remain stationary, till by and bye the sun took its effect, and down dropped the men, In all, throughout the day, to the number of 18 wore they floored, though none fatally. Another suggestion by Commander Colville to go in with a dash meets a reTonse of .' Go to the rear with your men, sir, and bring up the sick." This was simply to get quit of the importunacy. " More is said, but we shall not quote it. Stare it, that by five p.m. the Naval Brigade were back in the Eastern Parade Ground ; they had hardly had a fair shot at the foe!! Now for the letter of a friend in t'ot'ter arm : "From all accounts the first day must hive been an exceedingly pleasant one ; the party arriving at the point intended before the heat of the day had fairly set in. The locality fixed upon was exceed ingly picturesque—a large though almost 4rLs,rted joss house, in a well wooded and watered valley, some few hundred feet beneith the highest peak of the Whit e clouds.' In spite of the intense heat of the sun, the strength of the brerzi ren dered the atmosphere, especially in the shade, very refreshing to men who had fur same five mouths been cooped up inside the walls of Canton. " In the course of the forenoon an i u trench ed en campment was disc ,- .)vered about five mil , s distant, containing about 50 or 60 large ridge tents ; this the General at once decided to attack ; exploit, how ever, as the result will show, easier in anticipation than in execution. " Dating the afternoon we beard in Canton that Col. Holloway, with 500 marines, 50 artillerymen, and two ti-Ad-pieces, had received orders to advance in a direction about midway between the Grne ral's position and the river, while the gunboats were to land somewhere between Canton and Wbampoa, the 70th N. 1., and 300 men of the Naval Brigade, it being hoped that by this arrangement the Chinese would he surrounded and cut to pieces, " Vain hope Gunboats grounded ; the two field-pieces stuck fast, er were kept back by some imp.aisable obstacle, and the vast majority of the troops lost their way among the paddy fields. • " A strong force of French, however, the Gene ral's party, and a portion of Colonel Holloway's forcc. , got into communication at last, and shortly afterwards the Chinese opened the ball by a simul taneous discharge of eight or ten large jingalls from the neighbourhood of a village on the left hand side of the line of march ; our men thrown out in skir mishing order soon drove the enemy (some 300, the Chinese themselves said) away. For the time only, as I regret to all that Doctor Turnbull, passing the same way on a rOny s'.l=rt ciS captured and decapitated, though the trunk was recovered, and received such burial as it was-in the power of our men to give. An orderly, with a dooley and four of the military train liliewise dii appeared in the same place." SEIZURE OF THE PEIHO FORTS. (From the long Kong Register, Jane 1.) " We are itirlehted to an officer of the United States frigate Mississippi for the f.,llowing inter eA ingt account of the capture of the fors at the mouth of the Peino. The United States steam fri g ate Mississippi reached this on Sunday evening, the 30th ult., having left the Gulf of P. chel,e on the afternoon of the 22d. She brings news of the com mencement of hostilities. As negotiations had, as was to be expected, totally failed, Lord Elgin placed the affairs in the Admiral's hands, and he proceeded with his usual promptitude to bring them to an issue : " ' The mouth of the Peiho is defended by forts on each bank, about a mile and a ball from the upper edge of the bar, which averages from a half to three-quarters of a mile in width. Beyond this and about four mile , " and a half distant lay the larger ships. On the evening of the 19thall preparations were made for the attack by the gun-boats and ships tying inside the bar. At 7 a.tn. Captain Hall, of the Calcutta, pulled in and desired the torte to . surrender, telling them if the flage were hauled down by 9 a.m. the forte would be taken possession of peacidully ;—if the flags were not hauled d wn, firing would commence and the forts be captured by force. Nine o'clock came, but with no sign of surrender, and another hour was given them The two admirals were on board the gunboat Slaney, wile the English and French pennants flying. The Cormorant, which was the leading chip of the attack, had been lying close up to the forts on the right banks of the river, and the people of the forts had been observed training their guns on her. At 10 a.rn. the flag of battle was hoisted by all the gunboats and steamers along the line, with the exception of the Cormorant, which ran up the French flag almost at the same moment running her anchor up to her boys, and getting under weigh. On her deck were only to be seen three solitary individuals—the Captain, Saumarez, the master conning the ship, and the steersman, the men lying down at their quarters. She gradually edged over towards the fort on the tight bank, running past them io beautiful style, fired upon as she passed each fort without returning a gun. During her passage she got hulleJ 10 limes ; but, owing to closing so much on the forts, their shot for the most part passed over her with out doing damage. After passing them she ran over to the left shore, and, running into the mud with her broad side to the forts on that side, commenced the action. She was followed by two French gunboats and the Nienrod, which latter ve-sel came to the assistance of her comrade, The different gunboats took up their stations, and as they fell into them opened fire with precision. After about an hour's cannonading, to which the Chinese reply was quick but ineff , ctive, the Slanty, with the Admirals on board, ran s‘raight up through the fleet, towing the attacking columns under Sir F. Nicholson of the Pique, and Opos sum towing another pry under Captain Elide The French supplied an attacking party for the forts on the right bank. The boats pushed off and the men were coon on shore. Then followed the wuel scene—the Chinese bolted, and the French attack being made vary quick, a mine was eprueg, which caused theta coiai thrable loss. Tee forts en the left bank weia taken by the Stitish whhou much I. , ee, although mine= were also exploded on their advance, by the bursting of one of which the carpenter of the Calcutta and two seamen were killed. In about an heur and forty minutes we were in possession of - all the f .its at the south of the river. The Admiral then preceded on b , ard the Cormot ant, while Admiral de Genouilly went on hoard one of his guribeWe. At this time a !nes- , of flames from a number of fire-rafts was observed drifting round a point of laud higher up ; by some mhauanaeement the rafts were allowed to go too far over to the right back, and there the leading rafts speedily grounded, while the others were helped into a position by the heats cf the fleet. Had they taken the right direction, the Cormorant would have had a nar row squeak, as she was rather tight in the mud. Sir Michael, leaving the Cormorant, returned to the Slaney, but Admiral de Genouilly continued on board his gun boat. The Slar,ey and Cormorant, e ith other gunboats, steamed up to attack a large fest meunting 31 guns, situata round the bend cf the river, while the Nimrod was left to direct her fire at the fort over the spit of ground. le a short time this fell into cur hands, and in ab uc two hours and a halt train the commencement of the a . .tack tee scion had stated by the capture of all the fort,. " We arri happy to ray t'Le loss on our side was viry slight. Oily one officer, the master of the Opossum, beinz severely wounded by a shot in the side and thigh. We have no exact or reliable particulars of the loss on the Br tsh side, but do not hear that it exccetis 25 killed and .wounded. Our allies, we are sorry to say, owing to the explosion if a mine, stiff , r, d. mote sevenly, 15 men, it is eaid, bamg killed and 40 men wounded ; some of the latter dreadfully burnt and torn by the explosion. Among the kill-Al are four lieutenants, One, the first of the Fusee, was cut in two by a shot ; anothfr had his cap knocked cif by a shot, on which he exclairned—'l am lucky to-day,' but immediVely fell down dead, without the mark of any wound on his person. "The Chinese stuck to their guns manfully, and there were the usual acts of self-sicnfice. One blue button Mandarin, was found by the French in the fort which they had captured, dead, beside a gun, having . cut his throat ; and in the assault on the highest for of 31 foes, a mandarin jnowed ow and chargel the party mingle-handed. The officers did all they coull to pre vent him being killed, but one of the men on the fl Inks, at soma distance, shot hint through the neck and killed him, to the regret of those near, who admired his brave action. About 93 guns wore captured, 68 of which were brass or composition metal. Seine were eight-inch guns, but we believe they had none of the usual appliances of sight. The louts of the Chinese is supposed to have been very heavy, as the firing was very accurate, thu bursting with great precision in the embrasures. The Chinese fired grape, and even attempted shells, but, as their lase was only a piece of common slow match, the shell generally burst close to the gun. "Next day, the 21st, a Mandarin went off to the Russian Ambassador, who has been acting in cenjiinc tion with Mr. Reed, as a m e di a t or b e t ween th e p ar ti e s. Count Pontiatine went with him to the French Admiral, but it was some time before they could_persuacle him to go aed see Sir Michael ; eventually he did se, and asked for three days' truce. Sir Michael told him he could not give him an hour's truce, as they bad given plenty of time, and that he certainly should at once proceed to Tietatsin* with all his force. Tee unfor tunate Mandarin went away considerably crest-fallen. We understand the Admiral intends to do much the same as at Canton, securing he river at different points by anchoring a steamer. The river to Tien-tie is of sufficient depth for the largest ships now neer Abe bar, but above Tien-tsin to Pekin, a distance of eight miles, the water is said to be very shallow, boats draw ing more than five feet not being able to ascend. "The Admiral did intend to send down the Fury with his despatches, but as the Mississippi was compelled to go to Hong Kong, a passage was most politely offered to Commander Beamish, who goes home on his promo tion for the Canton affair, carry irg the Admiral's de spatchee. Lord Gnildfoed, who had also received his promotion for Canton, also carne down in her to take command of the Hornet—we understand. It is said that it was Lord Elgin's intention to push on at once to Pekin, sni only in that city negotiate, for the eff•ctive carrying out of which idea he has sent down f it reinforce ments. Where they are to come from is by no means clear, looking to the safety of the colony and the Canton garri2on. Fier Majesty's 59 h are under orders, and perhaps the 77th Bengal Native Infantry, or the other native corps here, might be spared ; but it is hard to say what the summer may produce of sickness in the Canton gwris ,, n, and few of the foreign inhabitants here wil doubt that although we get everything we desire at Pekin we have still a good deal of fighting to do at Can ton and its neighbourhood. At present we are, not te put too mild a point on it,' besieged in Canton, and be yond cur lines do not hold a fo t of ground ; so much so that even Hamm is not included in the lines, and the people, who live there do so at their own risk, in the hope that the Chinese owners of the properties rented by foreigaera will give the latter due warning, which, after all, may be found s very rotten reed to lean upon." " * This is the city said to be about 37 miles direct over land from the mouth of the Peiho, but at least 65 miles by water." Our previous advices from the Peiho came down to the 29th of April. At that date an Imperial Commissioner had entered the field of negotittion, and the result appeared problematical. Between the 30th April andthe middle of slay, say a fori night, there is a hiatus in the details. In sw , stance, however, as a friend writes us—" A point of punc tilio arose which neither Lord Elgin nor the Chi nese would yield; and quite right was the deter mination taken by Lord Elgin and Baron Gros, for from one concession they would have been led to another, until at last the nine prostrations would have been demanded—and--what next ?" It was about the middle of May, then, that the ambassadors found further attempts at peace ful argument futile ; and so left the business of coercion in the proper hands. By Wednesday, the 19th, arrangements were completed, and the following vessels inside the bar. French gunboats : Avalanche, Dragonne, Durance, and Fusee. Eng lish : Bustard, Cormorant, Firm, Leven, Nimrod, Opossum, Slaney, and Staunch ; in all a round dozen (Coromandel as Hospital.) A little after seven on the morning of the 20th, Captain Hall (flag to Admiral Seymour) pulled in to the neatest of the three forts built within the last few years on either side of the Peiho, and de manded peaceable surrender. Could such a thing be! The answer was prompt, Certainly not I " Take time to consider," said Captain Hall— " these bulldogs of ours are terrible fellows—you'll rue it if you determine on fighting. Take an hour, take two, take three—say nine o'.eleck." " CoieL w‘,..'s tl.e answer : " Come one, come all ! " Capt sin Hall returned dispirited. All humane men are dispirited when they think of the probable effuaion of blood ; and Captain Hall has now seer. t , :•o much of the prowess of the Chinese not to know that when once we commence our shell and rocket practice the miserable natives have no chance ; the old picture of a skeleton with his scythe mowin. down all before him gives the aptest simile e, what follows. Nine o'clock came—no sign of Tielding—ncne was expected—Ten ! Off ! Like a greyhound frou the leash away stated the British de,p.itch-boai Cormorant. It was high wat,ir, and there was depte for her close in to the nearest, fort flying the French colour at the fore ; on she dashed—passed tht firs fort, receiving on the way the whoie blast of his metal, fortunately with but slight casualty—tw, wounded and a dozen shot-holes—and ran into tht mud wi.h her broadside off the next. Next after the Cormorant went the Fusee and Dragonne, French boats, then the Opossum, and afterward the Nimrod. The Fusee was fearfully mauled, whilst Mr. Prickett, Master of the Opossum, was struck by a grape shot - , which took away parts of one side and thigh. The other gunboat, each took up positions as directed, only the Sianey remained behind, the flagship of the two Admirals. One hour was given for the battering, and the pre cision with which the Allies threw their shell is spoken of by American and Russian spectators as excellent indeed. The hour up, on went the Slauey, towing boats from the ships outside, with landing parties from the Audaceuse, Nemesis, Pblegethon, Primauget, Calcutta, Furious, Fury, and Pique ; one portion of the English blue jackets under Captain Sir F. Nicholson of the last-men tioned ship, the senior post captain present taking the fort on the right bank—Captain Hall, with another section of the boats, the fort on the left. TLe business of driving the Chinese out was soot over. Cunning rascals, they had laid trains fo heavily charged mines, and direful were the con sequences to our intrepid allies the French, no less than fifty-eight of whom were blown into the air ; four Lieutenants, one of them first of the Fusee, and eleven men, being among the killed, The Eng lish had twenty-five killed and wounded ; the only officer among the former being a carpenter (of the Fury). On the Nimrod, Slaney, Opossum, and a French gunboat (name not mentioned) devolved the task of capturing the fort highest up. Half an hour's bombardment was sufficient to induce its deser tion. By a quarter past 12 the whole affair-was over. Eighteen hundred Europeans had driven out 10,00 U of the elite of the Chinese army. The weight of metal, however, was all on our side, &tying nothing of experience at working. The two lower torts contaered about 70 guns, the upper one 3u—in all 100 ; two-thirds of them being of brass or compsition metal, valuaele as prizes. In a letter which we have seen, the writer says-- "Tire way in whic'a Sautuaurez ran the gauntlet, iu the mud, and play e d Li s took up a posiiioe metal, was the admiration of every one. Admiral wild with the l e adi ng Ri g ault de G— was very man of the French gun-boats, and, when it was all over, tubbad him up one side and down the other, from th e si a ney, in an extraordinary way. Why, the Cormorant has silenced the fort, sir, before you got abreast of Ler,' was one of his expressions ; and she had, too, or nearly, not only before the French, but before any of the other boats got up to Ler." THE EXPEDITION AGAINST THE BRAVES. Under date of Tluirday (says the Friend of China, of the 7th of June), a friend writes us from Canton : Yesterday morning, at four o'clock, a party left it. search of braves. Toe result is ar follows :—They found, about flue wilea to the nor hard and eastward of the Whitt:Cloud Mountains, a lar.re eucatnputent cf these "inferior animals," ahol deeming it not prudent to attach them at once with the smad force they had, despatched a company back into the city for 2,600 more. These lait the city last evening, at seven o'clock, with three days' rations, with what result we shall hear by and bye. Before we go to press we receive advice of the result of till expedition, but have only time to publish the following : The Chinese, of course, never allowed us to close, pre ferring a game at long bowls, and in the evening, when the ent.nry'a camp was fairly reached, the tents had been struck and the birds flown. About GO of our men were struck down by the sun— two died at once. The Naval Brigade began dropping in about the middle of the day, but the 70:h were but; once or t dielly sena in the distance. Some 4CO men are hlt behind in charge of the two gun., and what's to be done next no one knows, Toe tact upon t}.le Chinese has, of course, been bad, susin4 some 70 men brought in sick, though of that' numb:er but eight or ten are wounded. The majority of the troops returned on Friday morning.

It was insisted, upon the part of the opptniti,in creditors, that the bankrupt was not entitled to any certificate, having run headlessly tow debt upon the very eve of his bankruptcy, and he LaVing prevailed upon his landlord to levy a friendly distraint. Upon the part of the - -bankrupt, it was urged that where the assets were only sufficient to cover the expenses of the court, it was usual to throw a great many hard words at the unfortunate petitioner.

Jones, of 7, Uninn-street,Borougb, and John Wil lams, wbo refused his address, were charge with burgialiously breaking and entering the dwelling-honse of Mr. George Spencer, oil and colour• man, of 37, Frith-street, Soho, aud stealing a quantity ,t candles, and other artic.es, his property, of the value of 6/. The prosecutor said he was called from the place where he lodged that morning, in Leicester-street, and informed that thieves were in his hou , e, which he left at nine on the previous night. He went to his shop and found several conAabiee there, and on examining the pre mises, he mi&,,ed several articles of clothing, some candles and bru hes, some copper money from the till, and also a gas branch from near the shop door. _ . A large quantity of goods were here produced and identified by the prosecutor.

In answer to Mr. Beadon, one of the constables said there was no doubt the prisoners had entered the house ;)y,means of a lar ch-key, and then broken off the lock of toe dour leading to the shop. Winters, 100 0, said that on being called to the house ne found the lock of the doer leading to the shop had een broken off.

SINGULAR APPLICATION RELATING TO A WATCH.—di poor woman came btbre Mr. Yardley, and stated that a 'tan then in court bad been convicted and sentenced to -gilt months' imprisonment for stealing her husband'', .watch. Tne convicted thief bad recently come out of ison ' and had revealed to her the place where he bad .)ewned the watch and given her the duplicate relating it. She went to the pawnbroker with the duplicate, end be refused to deliver the watch to her. The man who had been convicted admitted that be 401 e the watch and pawned it. Mr. Yardley was of opinion the watch was vested its uhe husband of the woman who made the application, And that he would be entitled to a summons. The hug' hand must attend, and upon his application he would issue process. The pawnbroker had certainly no right to the watch. A Row IN THE PADDY'S GOOSE.—Robert Branningt a tall and powerful man, was brought before Mr. Yardley charged with assaulting Mr. George Matthewet licensed victualler. The prosecutor said that he was the landlord of the White Swan in High-street, Shadwell. Mr. Yardley—Which is better known as the Paddy S Goose? _ . Mr. Matthews—Yes, sir. Last night the prisoner and two others came into my house and made a die' turbance, and began larking, to the annoyance of my ,u•tomers and family. I requested them to desist, which they refused to do, and they began swearing at and abusing me, and said my house was not a chapel' and they had a right to do as they liked. I took one oat of the house and returned for the other, when the pa' super made use of the most dreadful language. He re" munstrated with the prisoner, who then struck bim a violent blow on the mouth, which caused him to stagger And cut his lip. He then collared the prisoner, and gave him into custody.
