BURROWS and Co. are not disposed to comment upon the purity of their wines, which is daily most laudably acknow ledged by the Public and eminent medical men of all coun tries, as the increasing latronage of the highest families in the land is a sufficient guarantee.

ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRWEA; with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De bility of the Generative system, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis. Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. " Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practical contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing„ with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular. " We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preli minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the `brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."— Dublin Medical Press.

These are the principles the application of which have secured to the French military organisation its superiority, and these are the principles which ought to be followed in the national defences of England. Whether this has been the case, and how far, I hope you will allow me to develop. in another letter: THE SUN, LONDON, WEDN ESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 4, 1860. 211 E NAVY. The Castor ; 36, one of the three vessels selected by the Admiralty from the fleet lying in ordinary at Chatham, to be used as training ships for the Naval' Coast Volunteers, has been brought up to Chatham Dockyard from the ordinary, to be fitted and brought forward for the service for which she is intended. She will be supplied with only her maindeck guns, as the whole of her armament will not be required. It is intended for the Castor to be stationed in the Thames, and as soon as she has been completed the Trincomalee, 34, and the Bril liant, 20, will be towed from Gillingham Reach to Chatham Dockyard to be made ready and supplied with heavy guns, both these vessels being ordered to be fitted for the same service. The Charybdis, 21, screw corvette, being fitted at Chatham for the first division of the steam reserve, has taken on board her armament, and is now ship ping her shot, shell, and other stores required for that service. ' The screw frigate Galatea, 26, in dock at Chat• ham, being fitted for the steam reserve, has a large number of artificers employed on her, and although she has only been docked but a short time, great progress is making in completing her for that ser vice. The annual competitive examination for appren tices in Chatham Dockyard has jest been com pleted, when the number of condidates who pre sented themselves for entry was 40, the selection being made by the Admiralty. The Basilisk, 6, paddle, Commander George, A. Phayre, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning from Jamaica, from which port she sailed on the 26th of November. All her news has been antici pated by the arrival of the last mail steamer. She brings home 12 seamen volunteers from merchant vessels on the station. Capt. Phayre reports having experienced terrific weather offthe Western Islands. The Icarus, 11, screw, arrived at Spithead yester day from the eastward, and exchanged the custo mary salutes with the Victory, bearing the flag of Admiral Bowles, C.B. The Immortalite, 51, screw, yesterday commenced taking in her boilers under the steam crane in the steam basin at Portsmouth. The four boilers weigh 107 tons. The Rhadamanthus, Master-Com. Pullen, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday with machinery, &c. A letter written from H.M.S. Lynx, dated at Zamibou, Oct. 23, says :---" On our arrival here we found a war going on between the Sultan and his brother, the latter having possession of the town. The Assaye steam-frigate, lying here, landed 100 men, and we landed 50, with a gun and rockets, under Lieut. Barclay, the whole forming a field de tachment. The rebels were driven out o the town, and the Sultan's brother taken prisoner. He has been conveyed in the Assaye to Muscat." A court-martial assembled yesterday morning on board H.M.S. Victory, in Portsmouth harbour, for the trial of Lieut. T. W. Simeon, of H.M.S. Perse verance, on the following charge :—" For that he , the said Lieut. T. W. Simeon, a lieutenant in full pay on board her Majesty's ship Perseverance, did, on or about the 2d November, 1859, on board the said ship, act in a manner unbecoming an officer and a gentleman, in falsely stating to Mr. W. T. Wilson, surgeon of the. said ship, that a claim which Mr. Watkins, landlord of the Commercial Hotel, Port sea, then had upon the said Lieut. Simeon, was a claim upon him by a creditor in London, from whom he had not expected so sudden a call, as the debt was of recent date, which statement he at the time knew was false, but upon the faith of which statement the said W. T. Wilson consented to become responsible on behalf of the said Lieute nant Simeon in respect or account of such claim." The Court was composed of Captain George T. Gordon (second in command of her Majesty's ships and vessels at Portsmouth), President ; capts. R. Harris, A. Farquhar, R. S. Hewlett, C. 8., C. F. Hillyar, and C. J. E wart ; with Mr. W. F. Hellyar, Deputy-Judge-Advocate. Mr. Hoskins, solicitor, of Gosport, acted as the prisoner's " friend." The Court, having heard the evidence for the prosecu tion and defence, found the charge against the prisoner Not Proved. The Admiralty have ordered a trial of Coston's night signals on board the• Channel Fleet, and Ad miral Sir Charles Fremantle has appointed a board composed of the following officers to report on it: —Capt. H. Caldwell, her Majesty's ship Mersey ; Capt. J, N. Strange, her Majesty's ship Mars; and Capt. H. J. Lacon, her Majesty's ship Royal Albert. These signals have already had a preliminary trial at Woolwich before Commodore Drummond, and ware favourably reported on. They have for some time been in use on board the United States' squad ron, by order of the United States' Navy Depart ment. The signals consist of a firework, or com bination of two or three coloured lights (white, red, or green), contained in a small case. They are held horizontally at arms' length, on a stick or handle, and when lighted burn with great brilliancy and distinctness, the change of colour being instantaneous The smaller sized signals may be distinguished at from four to six miles, and the larger size from six to ten miles' distance. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty : Capt. G. E. Patey to the Cumberland, vice Capt. Halsted,: whose period of service has expired ; Capt. H. D. Rogers to the Centurion, vice Capt. Patey ; Lieut. Frederick W. Wilson to the Mersey ; Lieut. William B. A. F. Paterson and Lieut. John J. Gregory to the Alacrity; Lieut. William Jardine, Lieut. T. W. Chapman, and Lieut. I. S. Trotter to the Nile; Chas. J. Po]kinghorne master to the Nile ; James Rusden master to the Mersey ; Thos. Pounds master to the Alacrity; Algernon Yockley and John Osland, assist. clerks, to the Marlborough; Angerstein A. Lyne, assist. clerk, to the Centurion ; G. Robinson, assistant clerk to the Fismard ; IV. A. Stevens, as sistant clerk, to the Wellesley ; Arthur S. Ramsey, assistant clerk, to the Hawke; George E. Marcon, Edward Robinson, Richard Harris, and Henry George Stembridge, assistant clerks, to the Chesa peake. " lIONOU_R TILE BRAVE." (From the Ttmea.) " Paimam qui nieritit ferat" is a motto which used to be in high repute among military men, and may, for aught we kno*, be so still. Nothing can be more praiseworthy, nothing more natural, than that the veterans of the British army, who have earned their country's flag in triumph over many a well-fought field, should in their old .age receive honorary—aye, and substantial rewards from the hands of a grateful nation, Surely there can be no higher incentive to younger men to follow in their footsteps than when we see -these noble champions rewarded according to their deserts. It would in deed be disheartening if the best soldiers of the nation were left to pine in their old age, when the once stalwart arm is weak, and the eye which one's flashed over a battle-field with.eagle glance is dull and dim. How miserable a prospect for those who could not hope to emulate their glory without the consciousness that a time must come when they too would be cast aside like an old garment and forgotten! The country will surely unite in applauding two appointments which have lately been made by the military authorities. It is a matter of notoriety and subject for regret that there are so few opportunities of rewarding in their old age those distinguished officers who have deserved well of their country.. The coloneleies of regiments are some of the few prizes which can be distributed among our worthiest veterans. Great care therefore is taken that they shall never be bestowed upon un‘orthy regipients. , We have to call attention to two recent'-' instances in which ' the privilege of selection and recommendation has been worthily exercised at the Horse Guards. It was not long since the Earl of Cardigan, in acknow ledgment of his valuable and distinguished services in the Crimea—more especially on the fatal day of Balaklava.—was presented with the Colonelcy of the sth Dragoon Guards. The reward was cumu lative, for this illustrious warrior held at the time, and still holds, the office of Inspector-General of Cavalry. But what honours could be equal to his transcendent merits ? His military career has been distinguished by a happy union of valour and pru dence above all praise. Scarcely had the Cavalry in the British service been gratified by this appointment when an oppor tunity occurred of stimulating the ardour of the In fantry. The Colonelcy of the 82d Regiment fell vacant, and it became a question, where all were so brave, who was the bravest among so many dis tinguished officers,—who had earned the highest distinction ? The doubt was but momentary. An instant's reflection sufficed to convince the Horse Guards that when such a question was raised Gene ral Ashburnham's claims set all rivalry at defiance. Omitting all mention of the previous incidents of his career, had he not in a recent instance, when the fate of British India was trembling in the balance, by that skilful retrograde movement upon the deck of the homeward-bound steamer struck terror into the minds of the foe ? Had he not—so burning was his patriotism, so overpowering his love of his native land—hurried back to the shores of England, without regard to those rigid rules of military service which are only binding on the pen dant and the martinet ? Whatever difference of opinion may have existed at the time as to the pro priety of this -step, the authorities at the Horse Guards have at length proclaimed it as their deli berate opinion that General Ashburnham is the officer whom, above all others, the British nation s th h e ou g l i d ve d r e s l i o g f h t t h t e o honour. s et o w o o ur. I is o appointments t cannot a pity o t o h n a e t step further than they have done. We now know that the Earl of Cardigan and General Ashburn ham are England's two bravest soldiers, but of the twin heroes who is the better man ? MILITARY ORGANIZATION. (FROM THE TIMES' CORRESPONDENT LATE WITH TIIE FRENCH ARMY IN ITALY.) At this moment, when the martial spirit of Eng land has been aroused, when every one is thinking of national defences, increase of the army, organiza• tion of volunteer corps, and when all those who have something to say on the ma tter are coming forward to promote this work, I hope you will like wise accept some remarks which I have to offer in this respect, and which may serve to illustrate this all-absorbing subject from a different point of view. I present them not aS a system, but as stray thoughts, suggested by observations made during the two great wars of our times—namely, the war in the East and the late Italian campaign. We see on these two occasions the four most powerful nations of Europe, besides two second-rate Powers, display their military resources in the field after 40 years of peace. Each of these nations had had, indeed, one or more smaller wars during that long period of peace—England in India, France in Algeria, Russia in the Caucasus, against Turkey, Persia, and in Hungary ; Austria against Piedmont and in Hungary; but in each of these cases the strength between the two combatants was so dis proportionate that it does not offer a fair compari son as to the real advantages and shortcomings of their military organization, which could only be judged of in a trial where the forces were more equally balanced. The result of this trial was evinced by the fact that, before even the Crimean war was over, com missioners were sent by England to inquire into the causes which produced the failure, and the country itself took up warmly the subject of military organisation. Immediately after the Eastern war the Emperor of Russia also appointed a commission to inquire into the abuses and maladministration of his army, in consequence of which almost all the officers in high command were either dismissed, or at any rate fell into disgrace; and now, a few months after the short Italian campaign, we see Austria intent on re-organizing altogether ier army, even to the uniforms. That is, three out of the four great Powers found their army not " up to the mark" the first time it was called upon to show its efficiency in the field. The only Power which stood the test on both oc casions, and under entirely different circumstances, was France. Herorganisation proved goodin a long siege, carried on at 2,000 miles fromher shores, and it proved itself efficient in a short and brilliant cam paign in the open field. These two occasions offered almost every species of trial to which an army can be subject—camping out in a severe winter on an inhospitable shore, subjectto all kinds of privations, forced marches under an Italian sun, tedious trench duties and roadmaking, brilliant attacks, and ob stinate defences ; and through all these trials the French army passel successfully enough to insure ultimate victory. In the face of such facts, and with such an ex ample before us, one of the first things seems to me to be to inquire to what the superiority of the French organisation is owing. Indeed, this thought is so naturally suggested that it must occur to every one. Your own .columns in the years 1855-6, afford sufficient proof that the expediency of such an in quiry was understood by the British public, and by the pressure of this latter it was communicated like wise to the military authorities. The press was teem ing with correspondence, letters, articles and remarks on the subject, making comparisons between the military organisation of France and England, sug gesting improvements in the latter on the model of the former in some points, and showing the impos sibility of applying to the British army the French system in others. It may be supposed that the sub ject was likewise taken into consideration by the War Department, for divers changes since made show traces of the influences of such a study. There has been no occasion as yet to show whe ther this inquiry has practically produced salutary remits or not, but I hope to be able to show that it has not been followed by all the advantages which might have been expected from it, and that the great lesson which the inquiry ought to have taught has been altogether overlooked. By an effort which England had made her army at the end of the war was, according to outward appearances at least, in as fine a condition as any army ever has been. Sceptics, indeed, suggested that if it took the field the results would be not much different from those attained before ; but most people contented themselves with the idea that it has always been, and must always be so—that England must needs sacrifice her first army before she can create a second efficient one. The spirit of inquiry was by degrees allayed by this consoling thought, and the general convict:on produced by it was that England is England and France is France; each has her own genius, and must have accordingly her own organisation —a result, I believe, which might have been obtained almost without the trouble of inquiry. If this result was so small, it is owing, according to my opinion, to the circumstance that the inquiry was not undertaken in the spirit in which it ought to have been pursued ; that it started from a wrong principle, and lost itself in details. It began where it ought to have ended—namely, by the question, " Wbat is there in the French organisation that might be conveniently adopted in England?" instead •f beginning with a study of the history and spirit of the French military organisation, taking it in 4iti ensemble first before it descended to details. It pulled to pieces the machinery, and examined wheel by wheel and spring after spring, while the success of the machinery lies not in one or another part, but in the fitness of the whole engine, and consequently it did not comprehend the true prin ciples of it. With your permission I will endeavour to place this Lefore your readers. When the great European war was brought to a close, in 1815, the victors, great and small, lay down on their laurels, full of the consciousness of their superiority, and lulled by the sweet hope of having attained the greatest amount of perfection in their military organisation. They had beaten down the legions of the modern conqueror of Europe, and all that now remained seemed to be to keep up the system which had 'done such wonders. While this was the case of the victors in the rest of Europe the very reverse of it took place in France, the vanquished. Her great military organisation had broken down, and left only the debris of that powerfitl 'machinery, which made Europe tremble so often, but which had been nsod up. Even under ordinary circumstances it would have been diffi cult, nay, almost impossible, to come back to the past ; but there were peculiar political conditions which not only were in • the way of such a• course, but which propelled altogether in an opposite direc tion. It was not only the imperial legions which had Leen destroyed Eby the battle of Waterloo, but the empirelikewise, and the Restoration which suc ceeded came back with a feeling of hatred and ven• geance against anything connected with the empire and with revolution. So high did this spirit run in the beginning that, had itbeen possible, these very names and everything which reminded of them would have been 'eliminated from France. Like Sultan Mahmoud, who, after the destruction of the Janissaries, • had the tombstones abraded which bore on them the distinctive turban of these de tested Pretorians, the powers that ruled then in France were ready to do anything to efface the 25 years which had preceded. The result of this disposition was a complete re organisation of the French army ; all the Bonapar tist elements were carefully eliminated from it, and every effort made to break the thread of tradition. It was a hard struggle, but as by degrees the 01E1 dropped off and new men succeeded the purpose was, in the space of a decennium, effected Fortunately for the French army, there were some principles in its organisation dating from the revolutionary epoch which were so deeply rooted that the reaction in all its omnipotence, supported as it was by a foreign occupa tion, did not dare to touch them. There were, besides, many parts in the military organisation and administration introduced by the genius of the First Napoleon so adapted to the purpose and suitable to the ideas of the French people that they were kept up in principle, modified in details, and changed merely to be improved. The men charged with this task were most of them the gene rals of the great captain, but who had rallied round the new dynasty ; they studied now to combine their own experience in military matters with the new state of things in which France found herself. The result of all this was that at the time when all other nations almost of Europe were only intent on keeping up her old traditions, France remodelled, and in many respects improved, the Napoleonic system, bringing it into harmony with the necessi ties of the situation. The military promenade in Spain in 1823 was not an occasion to show the efficiency of the new system ; but those who saw it might have already brought back the conviction that France had entered a new road in her military organisation—that while else where people dwelt with delight on their old vic tories, France was preparing for new ones. This tendency to progress, this endeavour to adapt the military institutions to the wants of the times which manifested itself already, received new stimulus after 1830, the year of the first occupation of Algeria. As it would have been wrong to see in the army of the Restoration the continuation of that of the Empire, so it would be wrong to see in that of to-day that of the Restoration. The year 1630 is the starting point of the present French army, and that since that time there is scarcely one single thing, either in arms, accoutrements, manoeuvres, system of promotion, organisation, or administra tion of the different branches of the service, which has not been thoroughly remodelled or altogether changed. These last 30 years were one continual study to make the single soldier, as well as the whole system, efficient. Inventions were made to supply deficiencies, chance discoveries were applied to use ful purposes ; the great advance in mechanics, in dustry, and manufacture was put into requisition ; improvements made by other nations were studied, adopted, and perfected. It would be too long to go through this list of changes one by one ; it will be sufficient to bring forward some, in order to show the true reason of the superiority of the French army in its organisa tion. The fatigues, heat, and bivouacs of Algeria soon convinced the French military authorities of .the absurdity of encasing the soldier in clothes which do not allow the free action of every limb, and we see the result of this conviction in the loose trou sers and the comfortable capote of the French sol dier; marching in sand or mu d f or l ong h ours ne cessitates light shoes, easily taken off and put on, and the soldier has them, and light leather gaiters besides, to protect the ankles, at the same time to tuck the trousers in. All sensible people have come to the conviction that cheap things are not the most economical in the end, and you see the French soldier's uniform made of a stout but rather elastic cloth, something like light pilot cloth ; every ar ticle of his uniform not only lasts twice the time it did before, but his health likewise is better. Means of transport is a great difficulty in all campaigns. but more especially against Arabs and Kabvles. Instead, therefore, of starting from the premise that such and such means of transport were required for the soldier, the soldier has been taught to carry everything which he wants. The tente d'abri was invented to dispense with this encumbrance, and the soldier accustomed to depend upon himself even for his food for several days. It required no great acumen to see thnt a human being stiffened accord ing to the practice of the old school would succumb under the load, and paces were accordingly adapted to this self-evident truth. It was found that the tin ordinaire of La Belle France was injurious in the climate of Algeria, and that the natives used coffee as a stimulant. It was tried, and found to answer, not only in Algeria, bu everywhere else, being the most harmless stimulant and enabling the soldier to fight a long day at Sol ferino or stand a wet day of Crimean trenches. The Arabs were no match for the regular French soldier, but it was often difficult to reach them. They made up by quickness what they wanted in steadiness. Well might the War Ministry shrue,its shoulders at the poor ignorant beings, but it did not; on the contrary, it stooped:down to learn from these poor benighted creatures how to fight in loose order and make the most of individual strength and agility, as well as of the obstacles of the ground. One Captain Minie, invented a new arm, or, if you like, adapted an old one to the pur pose, and the two together have reformed the man ner of fighting. Some of those who had seen this loose warfare in Africa were put together to devise a new system for the new arm, and the Chasseurs de Vincennes were organised. It was found that this new mode of fighting required not less but rather more qualities than the old machine system, and that in an army raised by conscription this could not be applied, thus the Zouave Volunteers were imagined, and the Tirailleurs Indigenes. But if all that large army could not be made into picked troops, it was not necessary that the great majority should remain automatons, especially after the more general introduction of the rifle, and in sensibly, without changing the ordonnance of 1831, all the French army adopted more or less this looser, or more properly freer, order of fighting and march ing of the picked troops. It was a necessity engen dered by the arms of precision. One Lancaster in England succeeded in making a rifled gun which 'did not prevent the French army, four years after, having their whole artillery on the model of a rifled gun, which answered cx tremely well. It would be too long were I to continue to enu merate all the changes, but those already adduced will show the real reasons of the French superiority, which lies in the application of a very few principles applicable to all countries. The first of these is that the military systems of standing armies, like everything else, have to follow the spirit of the age, and that the race in this matter belongs to the swiftest. That our age, which is so often accused of mate rialism and egotism, has given a value to the indi vidual, as such, which he never possessed before ; that consequently it would be folly to keep up the machine system, which was formerly the pattern of standing armies. That in this age of wonderful material develop- THE ROYAL NAVY OF 1860. By the official Navy List for the present month aid quarter we find that the British navy consists of 518 vessels, including screw steamers of every description, exclusive of which there are 152 gun boats, 121 brigs, hulks, &c., employed in harbour service, and 47 coast-guard tenders. Of the num ber of vessels composing the navy no less than 314 are in commission, and doing duty in every part of the and station gun globe. The -vessels in commission are distri buted as f o ll ows --65 line of- battle ships, frigates, sloop s -13 . oa 1 t 8 s attached on the coastto theo Africa, East Indies 6 and China at Austr • aha 13 in the Pacific,3 ' in the Brazils, 8 on the south-east coast of America, 8 at the Cape e of Good Hope, 21 on the North merica aid West India station, , 41 in the Mediterranean, 19 at tached t o remainin g 112 ar the Channel squadron, and the or attached as e employed on particular service Great Britai n and guard ships to the principal ports in Ireland.

Much correspondence, has recently been pressed upon us in reference to this third Chinese War, for which we are now fitting out our ships and trans porting our troops. As happens to us in all these cases we are addressed by people who know much, people who know little, and people who know no thing. One correspondent contends that we ought to chastise the Court of Pekin for the slaughter of our sailors and. the loss of our ships by taking the city of Nankin from the rebels, and holding it as a material guarantee until the Imperial Mandarins shall come to terms: Upon the principle of return ing good for evil, this would be undoubtedly a very Christian proceeding, and if advocated upon this ground, or even. upon the ground of commercial advantages to be thus acquired, there would be little to be said against it. But, if it be proposed as a measure of retaliation, we fear it savours somewhat of the ridiculous. It would be as if the Emperor of Morocco were to fit out an expedition against Mexi co to punish the Spaniards for their descent upon the coast of Africa- Other correspondents do battle upon other questions of military detail, and are at variance as to how far we should advance towards Pekin, where we should condescend to open nego tiations, how muca attention we should pay to the obstructions on th.e Peiho, and what we shall do if we get into the C ainese capital. These letters have called forth Captain Sherard Osborn, whose com munication appears in another column, and who has, perhaps, the srery best title to be heard upon this subject, for he has bombarded and escaladed Canton, driven the Chinamen out of those Taku forts, tracked all tle windings of the Peiho river, and explored with. lead and line that great and be fore unknown Yr.ng-tse River which washes the walls of the great inland cities, and waters the pro vinces whence we get our best teas. Capt. Osborn ought to be heard. for he has no interest in the matter but that of an English sailor and a man of science. Other people have class interests, and in the conflicting character of those interests we may often trace the cense of the bias of their caunsels. Merchants who ar e making great gains under the present system, and despise all articles but tea and silk and opium an d exchanges, would dissuade us from doing more t an we can help. Manufacturers who produce all that is sold are not eager for a change which mar draw on competition. People who arc out of the trade have only a purblind notion of it, but have an indolent desire to get into it. The tea-consveners and the cloth-workers and the calico makers cannot measure what interests they have at stake in the matter, but generally think it necessary to say - something, and generally act in ignorance of their own proper good. Diplomatists are committed by ithe circumstances of their respec tive careers to sonic special policy, and naval and military men hay e frequently their own ' special reasons for taking Qarticular views of this large and distant subject. All these things concur to con found counsel, and cause a strange variety of opi nion in a country Eke ours, where every man has his opinion upon every point of national policy, and every one strives to. make that opinion prevail. Meanwhile we are going off at once into another Chinese War. Notwithstanding Captain Sherard Osborn's consolatoeey promises, we cannot quite bring ourselves to believe that there is any great chance of being able to make this war pay itself. It will be certain to have its rebound in the dis agreeable form of inflamed estimates and increased income tax. It is, to be sure, a Chancellor of the Exchequer's war. We are going to fight for some ten millions of revenue. It is also a tea-consumers' war. The transit duties upon tea in China have been upon the rise for some years, and, as the Mandarins have discovered that this is a simple plan for taxing the distant barbarians, they will, of course, continue to increase their exactions. Lord Elgin may make what treaties he can, and the Court of Pekin may issue any orders ftiat may be dictated to them ; but so long as tea has to be brought through half a dozen local jurisdictions and carried upon men's backs over mountains before it can be brought down to Canton, and so long as it has to be gathered from long distant int erior localities before it can be sold at Foochow, so long will it be in the power of every petty authority in its course of transit to obstruct its passage and levy a blackmail upon it. " Opening up China" means. going up to the places where this tea is grown, an d buying it of the producer, and bringing it away. We must be strangely ignorant of the ordinary impulses of human nature, or fool ishly credulous of some great difference between the instincts of a Ch inaman and an European, if we do not understand that this is a privilege which inter feres with the gains of all the bureaucracy of China, and that it is a privilege we must fight for if we wish to enjoy it. But, still, these considerations do net make us look upon the third Chinese War with one whit more complacency. The Chancellor of the Exchequer's ten millions will be by no means so pleasant an item of revenue if we have to spend two or three millions every year in order to keep it going. Even to buy tea cheap, or to sell opium dear, or to provide Lyons and Spitalfields with cheap silks, we cannot afford a perennial distant war. We have now seen enough of these bar barians to know that no treaty they may concede will be of use to us any longer than we have force present to support it. It may be that this de erepid and rotten empire is near its dissolution. The Russians have crumbled away large portions of it in the north. A little circumstance which hap pened the other day in one of the Japanese islands, when the murder of a Russian sailor drew at a moment's notice twelve Russian men-of-war to the spot to resent the outrage, shows how strong the Lords of Siberia have taken care to make them selves in these Eastern Seas. The French also have come to see that they have something more than a spiritual interest in this part of the world, and that it is not impossible for them to push a barter be tween French manufactures and China silks. How this will end no one can tell. Russia has always shown herself insatiable of territory ; and France, although she has not been very fortunate in retain ing outlying dominions, has always had a taste for acquiring them. If either or both of these Powers should have cast an eye of covetousness upon any of the rich plains that have silted up from the debris of the mountains of Central Asia, it is quite certain that the present governing powers of that land will not leave them destitute of a good excuse, or even of a sufficient provocation. So far as we are con cerned; we do not see that we have any interest in keeping China intact. After what we have already experienced it is quite certain that for purposes of trade, for which alone we apprehend civilians would ever wish to go to China, any change which would substitute a rule of good faith for the present rule of imbecile falsehood must be an advantage. Unfortunately, however, we also are embarked in this general crusade, and it is important at this moment that we should come to a firm resolution as to how far we will suffer ourselves to be carried into it. There is one thing to which all our home interests must steadily lay their account,'and that is that we certainly will not continue these Chinese wars. We cannot afford them, either in men, or in money, or in reputation. The war in which we are now embarking—if, indeed, it cannot be stayed by negotiation—must be short and decisive. If by any amount of punishment we can once and for all teach the Chinese Government to respect its engagements, we shall not grudge the necessary exertion. But it had better be at once understood by the dwellers in Hongkong, in Amoy, in Foo chow, in Ningpo, and in Shanghai that in the face of the horrible mortality of seamen and of soldiers both on the coast and at Hongkong, and with the knowledge of the expense of such an undertaking, the public at home will never endure the mainte nance of a large permanent force in the China Seas, aed will certainly never undertake the responsi bilities of an Anglo-Chinese Empire. The following is the letter above referred to :- " Sir,—lt would be much better, at this important crisis in the Chinese question, if writers upon the subject would sign their names, instead of putting their initials, in order that we mi4ht estimate at their proper value the information that they may have to give, or appreciate the motives which may /bias their opinions. So far as J. C.' is concerned, 1 don't think I ever read more errors within an equal quantity of print. Yet lam hardly prepared to wade through as much manuscript to refute them; but I may tell your readers briefly that the idea of blocking up the Peiho river, which flows through an alluvial plain, is simply folly, and it affords water carriage to within 12 miles of Pekin, to place called Tung-chow, and that few, if any, canals intersect the province of Pecheli, and this because between the Peiho and the Great Wall the province is not overblest with water privileges. J. C.' sees nothing but difficulties—nothing but errors. Why should he write down Generals Hope Grant and Mansfield as consummate asses, who are going to throw themselves, with 20,000 men, into the city of Pekin, like the leaders of a mere African razzia, without looking to their supplies, their supports, Bze..? He says Pekin is an open town ; we all know it to be a walled one. He ignores the fact that for five years, not only Nankin, but an area of 200 miles in a due east and west line of the valley of the Yang tze, has been in the hands of the Taepings, without in any way alarming the Emperor for the stability of his empire. Our occupation of Nankin, unac companied by operations elsewhere, would have about as much effect as the Taeping movement or the holding of Canton has had. Lord Elgin , was never coerced by home authorities or indiscreet individuals' in China to insert those two most im portant clauses in his treaty—namely, the right of visiting the interior of China by our traders er missionaries, and the permanent residence of an accredited British agent in Pekin. I fancy his lord ship knew pretty well that he might as well have stayed at home if he could not wring these - clauses from the Court of Pekin, and I have no hesitation in saying that without these clauses we had better leave all treaty making alone, and trust; tti our merchants and smugglers fighting and finding their own way to every part of China, and protecting themselves. 'J: C.' and another writer, M. N. —advocated drawing in our horns, and remaining where we were in 1856. I will undertake to say that any such policy will be perfectly misunderstood by the Chinese from one end of the empire - to the other, and there is not a consul or a captain of a man-of-war who will not have another lorcha, affair' on his hands within 12 months. And why, may I ask, is it unreasonable for us to seek to trade honestly and fairly with every Chinaman ? Why should we, who live by the sale of our manufactures, submit to have prohibitory duties laid on them, when suen duties arc contrary to treaty? And, above all, why should not English merchants or political agents dwell in Pekin as well as Russian priests, students. and ambassadors ? And On that hcadyour news of to-day fully assures us. The two objectionable clauses are closely and im mediately connected. Wecannot have one without the other ; yet 'J. C.' says we want more trade with China; he has hit that nail on the head ; but how are we to have that without guaranteeing protection for our traders by being able to lay all grievances or give all explanations direct to the Court of Pekin ? Another assertion is made. lam curious to know upon what grounds LordElgin says that indemnity for war expenses is out of the ques tion. I reply that the seizure in the winter of 1857- 58 of the vast-Imperial grain fleet, which was at one time entirely in our hands, would have realised more than enough to meet our expenses in what has been dignified with the title of the ' second China war,' and an embargo upon all the taxes levied upon European exports in the open ports of China will nearly meet all our Current expenses for this third war, and divert them profitably from the de fence of the capital. L. 0. says we have but to go to Tien-tsin to get another treaty. I disagree with him, unless lie is prepared to forego the two clauses, and, in fact, make concessions to the Chinese, instead of forcing them to adhere to their engagements; and I do most earnestly deprecate any idea of partial hostilities—petty war. If we are in earnest, let us be so, or the Chinaman will soon see through the imposition, and the third war will drag on as the first one did, for many a long year; or we shall get a worthless treaty, and have that. chronic irritation perpetuated under which China and England have been living for some years. "We must teach the Chinese from one end of the empire to the other that peace is far preferable to war with us outer barbarians.' The force that will be there by Mey next is ample for all purposes. Lord Elgin's policy of war in one quarter, peace in another, has resulted in a blow-up of our treaty 'within 12 months, for it is folly to tell those who know anything of China that we are merely fighting the Court, Council, or Emperor. There is not a Chinese merchant who has not voluntarily contri buted, and who will not contribute, to keep us out of the interior of China until they see we are really in earliest about it, and then they are far too practi cal a race to persevere in opposition to the point of ruin. It was the great commercial guilds of Northern China who supplied Prince-o-losin with the funds and means to make one more effort on their behalf to preserve the enormous monopolies which fall to the ground the day the Elgin Treaty comes into force ; and I do trust that this treaty, and not one jot less than it, will be insisted upon, together with ample imdemnity for all expenees. Impoverish the Emperor of China! impoverish China 1 Not while there are 400,000,000 of people in it who have but one object in life, the acquisition of wealth. " The first war with China lasted from 1839 to 1842, because we attempted to carry on a petty war in one corner of the empire. It was only after Sir W. Parker's arrival, in 1841, that we went earnestly into the work, and then nearly one half the empire was so severely shaken that a peace was obtained that lasted 14 years—a very fair duration for any Asiatic engagement, whether pecuniary or commer cial. The second war commenced in 1856 and lasted until June, 1858 ; it was first a petty war in the South of China, then an equally partial one in the North. We were juggled, and shall be again if we merely undertake a military expedition to fight for the possession of the forts at the entrance of the Peiho. I advocate that the executive be given the means and ordered to operate judiciously and ener getically against all the seaboard of Northern China, and to select a good base with a view to an advance upon Pekin after a winter of starvation shall have told Court and people what it is to war with us ; that an expeditionary force ascend the Yang-tze-kiang, to intercept supplies from Southern China; and that the Quang provinces be thoroughly kept in hand, so that when a treaty is really being signed by a submissive Emperor and Council in the North we shall have no Cantonese braves shouting defiance in the South. Our diplomatists might dis port themselves wherever they pleased until the Court of Pekin was ready, without argument or correspondence (for they are sure to beatus in lying and knavery), to sign, seal, and carry into execu tion upon the spot every clause of the Elgin Treaty, with improvements, such, for instance, as an abro gation of our engagements to keep English men-of war wherever a consul flies his flag, and other such drains upon our exchequer, and, above all, to in sist upon inlemnification for all expenses. The Government of .Pekin will screw the commercial guilds and gentry of Northern China to pay it. Let them do so ; for they are really at bottom the cause of the Emperor and Court repudiating the treaty of 1858, and we can always at any rate re ceive the Custom duties collected at the open ports until the charges to which we have been put are defrayed.

BARNSLEY, Jan. 2.—The linen trade of this town and district, which was rather dull during the greater part of the past year, has lately shown some signs of improvement, and the operatives of the trade are tolerably well employed. There is a better demand for yarns and goods, and hopeful ex pectations of a prosperous trade for some time to come are entertained.' The coal trad e, which was a good deal depressed in the past summer, is also more active, and its prospects a re de emed to be satisfactory. LEEDS, 3d.—The opening cloth-mark e t f or th e new year has been of a satisfactory character. There has been a fair attendance of bu3ers in the cloth-halls, the tone of the mark e t h as b een fi rm and healthy, and, the time of the year considered, a good bulk of cloth has c h ange d h an d s. Th e deliveries direct from the hands of the manufac turers to those of the merchants are increasing, so that less quantities of goods are offered in the public markets, the stocks in which were rarely lower at this Set:18071 of the year. MAN CII ESTER, Jan. 3.—The attendance on 'Change has not been numerous to-day, and the business done is but limited ; nevertheless, the tone of the market is somewhat improved, and higher prices are asked for some sorts of yarns and cloth. ItociiDALE, Jan. 2.—The wool and flannel mar kets are very firm, but there has been a rather thin attendance of merchants to-day, which may be ac counted for by the fact that many of them are en gaged in stocktaking and balancing of accounts. Soule alvance on recent prices for Lancashire and Welsh imitations has to be given in order' to secure goods to order, and more money is asked for Saxony and some sorts of 'Yorkshire goods.. The flannel trade altogether has been very good for the last half of the year 1859, and it opens well in 1860. The machinery is fully employed, and the manu facturers have many orders on hand. AN UNFORTUNATE J OURN AL—The Baqrshire ifero;ry, after a career of thirteen weeks—during which.
