Prov. of England Do. uew Stock' Stock Stock Although not positively declared, it is very gene believed, that Russia and France support a f roj ec t of obtaining from Turkey the cession to o?atenegro of a small port on the Adriatic, through which the Montenegrins may communicate directly t hrough the world without. In various forms, and Ftrough several newspapers, the idea has been put f orward. Montenegro, it is urged, has not elbow 00m. : her mount a i ns do not yield nourishment for herinhabitants : she is stifled by the pressure of two powerful and unfriendly neighbours : she wants More arable land, or at any rate an outlet to the sea, This is the tone that is being adopted, with the countenance, it is understood. of the Russian and French Cabinets. That the former of these two Governments should favour and forward such plan is not surprising. Steady in her secret hos tlllty to and designs upon Turkey, Russia can de !lre no better than to establish a channel of direct co mmunication with the Montenegrins, through Which, when she thinks the time arrived, to send a gents and supplies. She would make of Monte negro the focus of her intrigues in the adjacent Turkish prov i nc es. By fostering an insubordinate era, by encouraging outbreaks and outrages, she ti °.l 3 to strengthen the belief that Turkey is a I , t seased carcase, fit only for dismemberment. It is 'er old game, and her tenacity .of purpose is too Fell known for . any to-feel surprise at her continu )ji,g to play it. There are more grounds for wonder Prance should allow herself to be made the i r ,' ?B- palv of the Muscovite. She has been doing so t: r some time past, little to the honour of . her pene patiPii and of her diplomacy. She did so,. most 4 1 ariligly, in the question of the Principalities, all /l e Profit of which remains with Russia, the only `tiTver that is likely to benefit by the discontent of Moldo-Wallachs. She is doing so now in the (kostioil of Montenegro.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 7, 1858. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TeTERSALL'S.-MONDAY. The publiCation of the weights for the Cesare witch and. Cambridgeshire was a powerful induce ment for ;subscribers to assemble in large numbers in the room. The betting on the handicaps, how ever, was not very hea-ty, and the prices given below require no comment. The Leamington Stakes was touched upon with caution, and the odds quoted were merely nominal. Toxophihte was " quiet" for the St. Leger. 3to 1 was wanted about him, but the highest offer was 550 to 200. 325 to 100 was booked several times about Fitz-Roland, but the animal most in demand was Governess, about whom 12 to 1 was taken to money. 12 to 1 was betted against Sunbeam, and 25 to 1 was taken about Eclipse. 100 even was laid on the field against two. In the course of the afternoon Mr. W , a member of the room, posted the subjoined an nouncement and a list of bets. This proceeding excited much curiosity and was the principal topic of conversation :—" Various reports having been freely circulated as to the large sum I have laid against Toxophilite for the St. Leger, and insinua tions made that I do not intend paying, I hereby annex the entire amount, which I have this day placed in the hands of the Hon. Admiral Rous ; and I can but express my regret that any one should have recourse to the expediency of falsehood in order to carry out their own interests, to the at tempted injury of others. (Here follows a list of the bets, amounting to the sum of £4,210.) It is not my intention to ask the backers to stake the sums mentioned." CLOSING PRICES.

FURIOUS DRIVING, AND ASSAULT ON A MEDICAL GENTLEMAN AND A CONSTADLE.—Frederick Howell, described as a chandler's shopkeeper, of Tower-street, St. Martin's-lane, was charged with furious driving and assault ing Mr. Robert Potter Baker, a dispenser, and Ball, 64 E. Ball, 64 E, said, about 1 that morning he saw the pri soner driving a horse, 'attached to a phaeton, along Oxford street at the rate of 20 miles an hour. Several gentlemen assisted him (Ball) in stopping the horse, and a gentleman who was in court prevented the prisoner from falling, upon which he gave him a violent blow on his back, and tore his coat. At the station in George-street, where the prisoner was taken, the horse and phaeton having been taken to the green-yard, the prisoner kicked him with great violence on the legs. Mr. Robert Potter Baker, a dispenser, of 6, Little Comp ton-street, Soho, said he was passing along Oxford-street, when he saw the prisoner driving at a furious rate. He went up with others and caught the prisoner as ho was fall ing, thus probably preventing him from receiving serious injury. The prisoner then turned round, gave him a vio lent blow, and tore his coat completely in two. He had evidently been drinking. Prisoner said the phaeton was taken out yesterday by a licensed victualler, who, having been locked up at Barnet for being drunk, had requested him to take it to the owner in Rathbone-place, which he was doing at the time. He had been drinking a good deal. Mr Bingham said putting all the offences together —being drunk, kicking the constable, and assaulting his benefactor, he could not impose on him a smaller fine than 40s. or 21 days.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON A POLICE CONSTABLE.— Henry Farr, a tall and powerful man, a sawyer in the employ of Messrs. Wigram, ship builders, Blackwall, was brought before Mr. Selfe, on a charge of assaulting Henry Young, a police constable, No. 365 K. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, defended the prisoner. The complainant, who was in great pain, and is likely to be ill for some time, in a tone scarcely audible, said that yesterday morning the prisoner was charged at that court with firing a gun in the Barking-road on Sunday afternoon, and after an investigation of the case— Mr. Selfe—l discharged him. Young—Yes, sir, you did. About 10 minutes past 3 yesterday afternoon I was off duty and was passing along the St. Leonard's-road, Bromley, and was about to enter a public-house opposite, when the prisoner and five others rushed out of the public-house and came towards me. The prisoner passed upon me the foulest abuse, and said " you I'll be revenged upon you, if it is 12 months hard ; I have got you 'now," and struck me twice with his fist and knocked me down. While I was down another man kicked me on the side and on the legs. I managed to get up, and was knocked down again and kicked, and be came insensible. There are contusions on my side, and I am very ill. _ _ _ Jane Forbes, an elderly woman, saw the outrage, and confirmed the statement of the complainant. Mr. Charles Young, in defence, hardly knew what to say. The prisoner was in liquor yesterday, and smarting under the injury inflicted upon him by a night's imprison ment for firing a gun across the fields on Sunday afternoon. He (Mr. Young) must say the prisoner was very foolish, and ought not to have annoyed or struck the police con stable. The prisoner was very sorry for what he had done, and hoped, in consideration of his family and that he had been imprisoned for two successive nights, that a moderate fine would be inflicted. Mr. Selfe said this was a very bad assault, and one that could not be visited with a small fine. The policeman had been savagely assaulted because he had done his duty. He fined the prisoner £3. If the policeman had been on duty, he should have sent the prisoner to gaol without the option of paying a fine. The penalty was paid. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

In Paris a report from Alexan dria has become current that the total to England alone will be £20,000,000. In this there is obviously some gross mistake. The statements from China are in dollars, and these probably have been confused with pounds sterling. THE CHURCH-RATE QUESTION.—A resistance has been made by the Dissenters of the parish of Croydon to the levying of a church-rate of 2d., and a pall of two days closed on Friday night at 8 o'clock. The result was—for majority for the Last year a similar attempt at resistance the rate, 679 votes • ag ainst it, 225 votes • rate, 454 votes. was made, and then about the 'same number of votes were polled, but the majority for the rate was only 409. So that the feeling against church-rates in this parish appears to have decreased. MOVEMENTS OF ILLUSTRIOUS CONVICTS.—Red path, Burgess, and Tester, were despatched to the Austra lian convict settlements last w e ek, in the Edwin Fox. Redpath, a few days before his embarkation, had a farewell interview with his wife, and their Parting is described as being very affecting. Owing to his fe e bl e const i tut i on, which had suffered considerably from the confinement of a prison, he was incapable of enduring the severe labour of the quarries, in which most of the convicts at Portland are employed, and he was consequently put to work in the " drying-room," where he had the light but undignified CaliPtd l On Of haniug uP lineui—§gifokry PRIVATE BANKS.

Within the last few hours we have been put in possession of sevc ral private letters written from the Peiho to persons in London, and these enable us to understand in more detail the negotiations that have taken place between the European Powers and the Court of Pekin. Our readers were previously informed that on the 4th of June two Chinese Ministers of high rank had arrived at Tien-sin. One of these was a Chinaman, the other a Tartar. The senior, Kwci hang, is described to be about 73 years of age, a benevolent-looking old man, not overbearing in speech or manner, and evidently a• " Soother of Barbarians." The Tartar is a quiet Tartar, thoughtful and intelligent, and in the possession of a feature unusual in a Chinaman's face—a very large nose. One of the letters from which we quote describes him as not unlike our Oliver Cromwell. These people declared themselves upon their cards to be " Plenipotentiaries,' and upon the faith of this declaratiop. the English and French Ministers consented toimeet them. An isolated joss-house on the steppe south of Tien-sin was the appointed ren dezvous. It was arranged that Lord Elgin should have his interview first, and then Baron Gros ; the Russian was to come third, and. the American last. All this took place according to the programme. On the sth of June, while the thermometer in the sun stood at 137, Lord Elgin and his entire suite, with not a few naval officers as spectators, and with a guard of 150 marines, proceeded in long proce ,- cion cf t 3 the Hull of Conference. The Chinese were civil and ceremonious, and after tea' and. compliments Kwei-liang o p ene d the Dur bar by saying that his Imperial Master had re ceived Lord Elgin's letter, and had, instead of an swering it, deputed his servants to arrange matters speedily. Lord Elgin replied that he was glad. to see the 'lmperial Ministers, and that his Queen had granted him certain powers to arrange all matters on a safe and proper footing. He added. that he was prepared. to show his credentials publicly if the Imperial Commissioners would do likewise. The Mandarins assenting, Lord Elgin's powers were produced, and a Chinese translation was read aloud by Mr. Wade. The scene is described to us to have been at this moment very -interesting. The Ministers were eager in their attention, and a troop of secretaries and clerks who had been taking notes in the background pressed forward to the table. There was evidently more surprise than pleasure in the effect produced by the ample terms of the document. It was now Kwei-liang's turn to show the commission under which he and his brother Commissioner were :to act. A piece of yellow waxed cloth was first produced by a very in telligent-looking young Mandarin. called "Pion," sub-prefect in some district in Chi-li. Kwei- Hang received it most reverentially, held it' above his head for a moment, then opened it, and took from it a very scrubby bit of paper, which he handed. to Mr. Wade. While Mr. Wade read off in Eng lish the contents of this paper we are told the scene was as dramatic as a Chinese sing -song. Every Mandarin's eye was slily watching the expression of Lord Elgin's face, and:as that expression grew more and more severe as the reading progressed, exclamations were interjected by Kwei-liang, " Such powers as Lord Elgin possesses are unknown in China ;" " Seals are never attached to commis sions in China," and so on. There was good reason for Lord Elgin's grave displeasure, for the edict ran somewhat as follows :—Kwei-liang and Hwa shaka, &c., were directed to proceed to meet the strangers of England and France, and. to inquire into their purpose in ascending the Peiho. If they found them sincerely . desirous of putting an end. to the war, the Commissioners were to grant them their demands, provided such demands did not in fringe the customs of the Celestial Empire, the dignity of the Emperor, or the will of the people ; and in the event of the demands being of such a cha racter they were to refer them to the Emperor for his pleasure to be made known. When this docu ment had been read to an end Lord Elgin arose, and ordered his chair to be brought, saying to Kwei-liang, in a curt manner, that the powers of the, Imperial Coinmissioners were unsatisfactory. The Earl's chair was hurried up, the guard pre sented arms, the band played "God save the Queen," the staff entered their chairs, and the mandarins were left making speeches to demonstrate that' t was quite impossible that they could ever receive larger powers than those they had just opened. Thus ended the first act of this comedy. The cir cumstances are worth recounting, for they show the character of the people with whom we have to deal —their impudence and their duplicity. No false hood is. too bold, no subterfuge too transparent for them. They obtained the interview upon the solemn assurance that they had full powers • then they exhibit a mere commission to receive demands, and there can be no doubt that they had behind fuller sets of powers increasing in degree up to any neces gary point. The next act was of a very similar kind. On the Bth of June it became known that Keying, our old friend of 1842, who deceived Sir Henry Pottinger into a belief that he (Keying) entertained a friendship for all the barbarian race, and a pri vate and personal friendship for Sir Henry himself —it became known that this Keying- had arrived at Tien-sin. Keying had been degraded on account of the treaty of Nankin ; he was now sent down to redeem his credit by confounding the barbarian councils. Poor Keying's tactics were only an imita tion of those which he had seen succeed for a while at Canton. He intrigued to get himself appointed a co-commissioner, and succeeded. He tried through the Americans to induce the English to move their ships " ever so little way " down the river, promis ing that upon that he should obtain mastery of the negotiations, and would settle all things. At the same time he ordered the populace to manifest ill will to the strangers, and, as at Canton so at Tien sin, quiet Europeans were insulted and stoned. But Keying was not so fortunate as Hwang in having a Straubenzee to deal with. Lord Elgin and Sir Michael Seymour were equal to the occasion. Capt. Sherard Osborn, with his galley's crew and with Captain Dew and Mr. Oliphant helping him as volunteers, scaled the great gate of Tien-sin, kicked the Tartar post before them, and let in a hundred marines who were in march upon the city. This force marched through the city with a band and a couple of howitzers, administered a good fright to six delinquent householders who had encouraged the mob, and quieted Tien-sin for the rest of the English occupation. Keying's industry was not confined to this imitation of the great Yeh and his successor Hwang. He entered into strict relations with the Americans and the Russians. Some of the letters before us speak confidently to the truth of reports current in the expedition that the Americans had offered to guarantee that if Lord Elgin would not insist on opening the Yang-tze, and would give up the demand for a Minister at Pekin, a treaty should be at once arranged. The Russians, on the contrary, were said to be doing the utmost to prevent any Europeans but themselves being tolerated at Pekin and the Americans, who, to do them justice, have not much secrecy in their diplomacy, were loud in their expressions of a virtuous horror of the opium trade, and urged the Commissioners to stick to that as their point of conflict. Keying was becomingly embarrassing. Fortunately, however, Mr. Wade had found among Yeles papers a report from Key ing to his master, urging him to make no account , of the Treaty of Nankin, and describing it as a mere snare to delude the barbarians. The next move in this plot and counterplot was to send Mr. Wade and Mr. Lay to the two Ministers to read this document in their presence, and to declare that Lord Elgin and Baron Gros could hold no commu nion with a man who had officially put forth these disgraceful counsels. This coup was decisive. The two Commissioners, who had their own reasons for hating their new colleague, communicated this in telligence to Pekin, with the further information that the confidence of the barbarians in Chinese Commissions was now so much shaken that there was much danger they would soon believe in nothing but the sign manual of Hien-Fung him self, affixed in their presence. This opened up the difficulty of the K ow-tow, which is still said to be so strong a point with the Emperor that he would rather lose his throne than waive it. We shall probably see how far this is true. We have heard these tales. Of Chinese obstinacy and devo tion too often , now to be much guided by them. However, the terro r was great enough to induce the Emperor to re ca ll Keying to Pekin, and to authorise his C omm i ss i oner to sign a letter pro miFing a treai y in the leans of lord Elgins de nittiLd:, and couched in language dictated by Mr. Lay. 'this letter forms the next important step in these negotiations, and marks the term of their progress when our last news left. It is not now, we hope, the most important document ever signed in China, for its importance has now been superseded by the treaty, but up to the evening of the 11th of June,. when that letter was written, no such concessions had ever been dreamt of by a Chinese Minister. Our correspondent's knowledge of this official docu ment is necessarily not exact, but we believe it will be found that the conditions which this letter promises as the basis of a treaty are as follows : First.—The residence of a British Minister at Tien-sin, with access to Court, and direct communi cation with the Ministers. An official yam= for him during his visits to Pekin. All official docu ments to be written by him in the Eriglish lan guage (to be accompanied by Chinese translations until the Court of Pekin has procured interpreters). An English college similar to that kept up by Russia to be allowed at. Pekin. Second,--China to: he opened to all the -wolid persons to go whither they please and do what they please under a passport system. Third.—The Yang,tze to be opened to its com merce from its mouth to its source. Fourth.—Christianity to be tolerated. Fifth.—lndemnity f or the war find losses at Canton to be paid Yfor by the two Qiiangs, the amount to be agreed on by special Commissioners at Canton. The tariff to be corrected, the Custom house system revised, and the English to aid the Chinese in the suppression of piracy. Sixth.—ln proof of the friendship and goodwill of the Emperor of China towards the Queen of England a special embassy shall be sent to England forthwith. If we are justified in our confidence that these are the terms:of the Treaty which was signed at Tien-sin on the 28th of June, 17 days after the sig nature of the letter, Lord Elgin has fulfilled all our desires and has surpassed all our expectations. The terms are familiar to the public as identical with those the necessity of which has been so importunately urged in these columns. So far as diploinacy is concerned we shall have no more to say in this matter than to speak words of thanks and welcome to the man whose sagacity and un swerving purpose have brought about such great results. Of course we know that all these condi tions, though signed and sealed and ratified with all solemnity, arc but points of departure whence the Court of Pekin will shuffle ; but this is another matter, and for other men. The game has been brought down ; it is for the cooks to prepare it for the table.--Times. THE EUCK - OF LONG LIFE. Time, the metaphysicians tell us, is nothing but a succession of ideas. And a very odd s uccess i on of them it must sometimes bring, if one can only have had enough of it. Everybody feels an inte rest in a case of extraordinary longevity, even if it be of a .slave on a plantation, or of a day labourer who has never been out of sight of the old church spire under whose shadow he was born. One can not help remembering how many great events have occurred since he came into the breathing world, W and how many great men have begun, continued, and ended a famous career since he has breathed the air of the planet. The Revolution was not thought of when Washington was a schoolboy— Bonaparte had not even entered,into the heart of man to be conceived, when he came into the world. And so on and so forth. Such a cas&:beeomes yet more interesting when the party is of a higher rank in life, and did, or might, know the actors in mighty dramas, and who was, at any rate, an intelligent spec tator of them. For example, there was the Dowager Countess of Hardwicke, who died the other day, whose long life; touching at its beginning on an other long life, brought points of time together which commonly seem separated by impassable spaces. She was born in 1763, and was, consequently, only 95 years old ; but her father, the Scotch earl of Balcarras, having been well stricken in years at the time,of her birth, their two lives extended back to before the beginning of the 18th century. It sounds queerly enough to hear that a person just. dead this summer could speak of her father as having been "out in the Fifteen" (1715) with Lord Derwentwater and Forster, and having been begged off by the great Duke of Marlborough ! And yet such was the fact. And not only so, but her grand father, having been born in 1649, the year that kings received the useful lesson, according to old Lord Auchinleck, Boswell's father, in the e xam pl e of Charles 1., " that 'they have a joint in their necks," the three lives of grandfather, son, and granddaughter's stretched over a period of 209 years. And when her grandmother was married, Charles 11. gave away the bride ! This venerable lady must have had a chance at some pretty good company in her own time. Pitt the younger was four years old when she was born; Fox a young pickle of 14 ; Sheridan, a not particularly clever lad of 12, so that they were strictly her contemporaries ; Burke was turned of 30, but the most brilliant part of his public life was passed after she was old enough to remember him ; she was 21 years old when Dr. Johnson died, and a well grown girl when Gold smith was inconsiderate enough to do the same thing, and she might have known them both, though it is not likely she did ; Sir Joshua may have painted her, and probably did, as she was near 30 when he died. Of course, all the litera ture of this cmtury, running back to the birth of Scott and Wordsworth, eight or nine years after her own, was as much hers as ours. She was married and six-and-twenty before the French revolution began, and the whole of our own revolution most have been within her personal recollection. The thought of such a consciousness is enough to make one giddy. Then there was Viscountess Keith, who dial within two or three years, at about the same age, who was "the plaything often, when a child," of Johnson, and who received his last blessing on his death-bed. She was the daughter of Mrs. Thrale, and was a link that directly connected us with the Literary Club at its foundation, all the members of which she must have seen, and most of whom she was old enough to know well as a grown-up young lady. Lady Louisa Stuart, the daughter of the famous Earl of Bute, actually remembered her grandmother. Lady Mary Wortley Montague, who died in 1762. She died herself since 1850; and was the intimate friend of Scott, and one of the few original depo sitaries of the Waverley secret. And Miss Berry, who might have been the Dowager Countess of Orford, as the widow of Horace Walpole, if she had so pleased, died within a year or two. These favoured persons really seem to have had too large a share of the world's plum-cake. But none of them had such luck as befell the Marquis Di Manso, who lived long enough to be the personal friend of Tasso and of Milton, though the first died more than 10 3-ears before the other was born. Really, one would almost be willing to have been dead for a couple of hundred of years to have had such a chance.—New York Times. THE ENGINEER OF THE ATLAIVTIC TELEGRAPH.
