2VB I' MA CITY NE JVS. CITY, Two o'CLocl, There has been rather more activity in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days. Tea, however, since the conclusion of the public sales has been rather inactive, but rrices are firm. Sugars have advanced 6d. per cwt., while there has been a more active inquiry for coffee at slightly enhanced rates. Rice, spices, and fruit have been in fair demand, particularly the latter, Valentia raisins having been in increased request, at a slight advance. Saltpetre has been dealt in to a fair extent, and for the better de scriptions higher prices have been obtained. Tallow has continued in moderate demand, and prices have not shown any material alteration. P.Y.C. on the spot and for delivery up to March is now quoted 61s. 6d. per cwt. Rather less activity prevailed in the Liverpool cotton market yesterday, but prices exhibited no change of importance. The sales were estimated at 10,000 bales. A sum of £20,000 in gold was withdrawn from the Bank of England yesterday. The traffic receipts of the Great Western Railway of Canada for the week ending the 10th ult. exhi bited an increase of £1,035 compared with the same period in 1859. The amount to be paid during the present month on account of railway calls is £2,206,560, exclusive of a final payment of 25 per cent. on the East Indian Railway Debentures, which is due on the 22d inst. During the month of October mining dividends were declared, amounting to a total of £22,166. A steady business is reported in the Money Market, the inquiry not having increased, although the probability of an early advance in the rate of discount is still discussed in commercial as well as speculative circles. A small amount of business has been transacted in the Market for Public Securities to-day, but the speculative dealings are limited, and the public transact very little business beyond a few sales for transfer. Consols, however, were steady, being 93 to 93f for money, and 931 for the account in December. -The firmness of the Paris Bourse tends to strengthen the market here, although it fails to create animation. The New Threes and the Re- duced have improved to 91; ; Bank Stock has declined to 2311 ; India ditto is firmer at 223 ; ditto New Loan at 1031 ; ; ditto 5 per Cent. Rupee Paper is 95 ; and Exchequer Bills are steady at 3s. dis. to par. Business in the Foreign Stock Market is mode rately active, and prices show increased firmness. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 71 to 711 ; ditto New, 68 to 584 ; Russian 5 per Cents. have improved to 105; ditto 3 per Cents. to 621 ; Spanish De ferred to 401, ; Dutch 22 per Cents. to 651 ; and Brazilian 5 per Cents, to 98!. Buenos Ayres De ferred are 29k. Ocean Marine Insurance shares are 1.4 2 prem. ; Thames and Mersey, I prem.; and the Universal, ; = prem. Business in the Railway Share Market has been inactive. A slight improvement, however, has taken place in one or two of the principal under takings. Lancashire and Yorkshire, North-Wes tern, and South-Eastern have advanced ss. ; Eas tern Counties and Brighton, 10s.; and London, Olaatham, and Dover, £1 to £1 10s. Midlands have declined ss. ; and South-Westerns, 10s. The Foreign Market has continued very quiet. South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian, however, have advanced to 114. In the Colonial undertakings some slight changes have been apparent. Grand Trunk of Canada are steady, at 22! 23 ; but Great Western of Canada have declined to 121 t. East Indian are steady, at 100! ; and Great Indian Peninsula, at 961; Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have shown no change of importance. London and Westminster are dealt in at 62 to 621 ; Union of London, at 25f E. Electric Telegraph have ad vanced to 971, and Royal Mail Steam to 481. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES.

THE EARLY CLOSING MOVEMENT.-ANNOYING TRADESMAN.—Four respectable-lookin g men, named Henry Bannister, Charles Lambert, .Edwin Smith, and Samuel Brickett, were charged before Mr. Beadon with distributing handbills in Oxford-street and obstructing the footway. William Sturgeon, 174 C, said—At nine o'clock last night I was in Oxford-street, when I saw the defendantps distributing bills of the early closing movement in front of 110 . 373, a bootmaker's shop, kept by Mr. Parker. They were walking in front of that shop and nowhere else. Mr. Parker is not a member of the Boot aid Shoe Trade Early Closing Association, and they were obstructing the pave ment. They refused to go away, and said they had a light to do as they liked on the Queen's highway. Two bills were here handed to Mr. Beadon ; one is the usual bill advocating the movement, the other runs as f°11° ": --- " Early closing—all the bootmakers in Oxford street have agreed to close their establishments at 8 o'clock (Saturdays excepted), with the exception of Mr. Parker, who was a few years ago, when a shopman, the most powerful advocate for the early-closing movement. Do not patronise the shops that refuse to close at the above hour." Bannister—l had no bills, but was taken by mistake for those wh o h a d . I was merely talking to one of my friends. Sturgeon—l saw yogic distribute them. Lambert--I will admit I was.distributing the bills, but did not know I was doing wrong. I did not confine my self to the front of Mr. Parker's shop. Brickett—l will admit distributing the bills, but the constable did not speak to me, and I was not taken till I was some distance from the shop. Smith—l distributed some bills, but did not stand still. Palmer, 191 C, said I was called to the front of Mr. Parker's shop, and saw all the defendants but Bannister distributing bills. Bannister was with the o th ers, but I cannot say he was distributing tills, or had bills in his hand. Lambert—Bannister distributed no bill s . I am willing o take all the blame on my!elf: Mr. Beadon, addressing the defendants, said—N ow' j ust understand me. One of y ou has sai d he did not knoNlh e - Naas breaking the law. If there is one thing more than another an Englishman is proud of it is liberty, and if * ny one tries to take away that liberty I will put on the severest penalty. You are breaking the law by distributing in the street any handbills; but when I see you are trying to in jure a man by distributing these handbills in front of a tradesman's house, I will put a stop to it. lam not going to the extent I will do if this continues; but, with the ex ception of Bannister, whom I shall discharge, you must all enter into your recognisances to keep the peace for three months, and do not do it again, for if you do I shall fine You 40s. each or one month. A VETERAN PlLOT.—Captain Titus Sanford, the well-known pilot of the steamer Elm City, on the Now York and New Haven line, has probably travelled as many miles by steamboat as any known traveller.

The first witness called was Benjamin Disraeli, Esq., M.P. for Buckinghamshire,who said—l was Chancellor of the Exchequer in Lord Derby's Administration. I became Chancellor of the Exchequer in 1858 ; Mr. Ralph Earle became my private secretary. Be fore that time I knew Brodie in the latter end of 1857 or 1858. My first communication with him arose out of the Weedon enquiry. His case was brought under the atten tion of the House of Commons, and it was thought his evi dence was of advantage, and as he had lost his situation in consequence of giving evidence, it was considered a bad precedent that dismissal was to follow the giving evidence to the committee ; and it was thought that a small Government situation might be given him with advantage. This was the case prior to the change of Government. I thought I could' mention his case in the course of the debate, and I gave him a kind of half promise that I would do so. I met him in the Park and told him my opinion. He walked at my side down to the house. Very shortly after that, most unexpectedly, a change of Government took place, and I took office. I then received a letter from Brodie reminding me of say promise, and I wrote to my secretary to see and ascertain what he wanted. I understood there was a small office vacant, but I did not know what it was. The duty devolved upon Mr. Earle, and he saw Mr. Brodie, and I then learnt that the office referred to, sergeant-saddler at the Tower, was vacant. My previous knowledge was thee he was competent for the office, and I lost no time in re commending him. He would have been successful, but from circumstances, not affecting his moral character, it was found impossible he could hold any office under the Queen. This decision was first communicated to me, and I told Mr. Earle to see him and tell him that there were reasons not affecting his moral character that would render it impossible for him to hold office. I directed Mr. Earle to tell him as kindly as possible, and also to tell him I had redeemed my promise. I next saw Brodie, in 1858, in the street. I wish particularly to state that it was in the street, as there has been so many state-. ments about his visits to Downing-street and other places. I afterwards learned that Brodie had received a private situation about the exact value of the office I had sought for him, and as I understood he had got a provision, I thought he was provided for. This was in the spring of the year, after receiving the information that he could not obtain the Government situation, I looked upon Brodie as a man with an infirmity which was harmless. It was communicated to me that he had become tisane; I did not come to that conclusion, as I know per sons who are over zealous. The usual greeting I received from Brodie was, " There's the man who has been my friend," and other extravagant expressions. I told him I had had nothing to do with the obtaining of the private situation. This sort of thing continued till April, 1859. Brodie was continually in Downing-street, and it was suggested that the police might interfere, but I instantly directed that he should not be interfered with, as I thought it would die out. I recollect seeing him in the lobby of the House of Commons on the evening of the 14th of April. It was about eight o'clock. On leaving the house I was passing down the corridor which leads to the library. As I was doing so a person addressed me. I did not know him until he took his hat off. I recognised him, and said, "Is that you, Brodie ?" He said, " I must have a word with you, sir. It's of vital importance to Mr. Earle." I am not in the habit of disregarding warning ; and I then walked on, and he followed. The conversation took place in the corridor, and not in any little room. The corridor, it must be known to all familiar with the house, is about the last place where a private conversation should be held. I stopped for a moment, and he then said Mr. Earle was going to Berwick, and he had a great many friends there. I told him I knew nothing about the election, and he then said he thought he bad better go to Mr. Rose. I afterwards learned that he had been to Mr. Rose. He then began to relate his miserable position. He asked me to give him a letter of recommendation to Mr. Rose. I told him I could not do that, but I would give him a note that perhaps might get him a hearing. I then went into the room in the corridor where I knew there were writing materials. I went in, and while I was engaged in writing Brodie pushed the door open and entered. I told him he could not come in as it was private, and that the Sergeant -at- Arms would take him into custody he remained. He left, and I got up and gave him the memorandum. I did not know what he wished to see Mr. Rose about. He went on to relate something about his miserable position. I stopped him when he was about to tell me his business. He said it was hard an Englishman could not get svhearing, and the letter I gave him I said would no doubt get him an interview. The note was given to him as I left the anti-chamber of the library. The envelope put into my hand is that which contained the en closed I wrote for Brodie. It was to the following effect : —" The bearer, Mr, Brodie, wishes to see Mr. Rose. I know nothing about him.—" B. D." The next thing I heard about Brodie was the receipt of a letter, that the peti tion against the return for Berwick would be withdrawn, if I undertook not to indict Mr. Nicoll for bribery at Frome. I knew nothing about the subject the letter referred to. I never gave Brodie any letter that might not have been published at Charing-cross. I always tried to stop him when he attempted to speak to me. He told rte a great many things while he used to walk by my side.. On oneocca sion he told me he had great influence in 7; ( estminster, and he could use it during an election. He al ways spoke in a very excited and rapid manner. I think what I have stated to day gives the spirit of my conversation with Brodie. It is difficult to say what he talked about, as he never ceased talking. I used to think that a person who was constantly lurking about the lobbies in the House of Commons was not a person who had a situation of D,OO. When I sent him to Mr. Rose I thought he was in want of employment. That was the inference I drew. I thought Mr. Rose might give him some sort of employment in connection with the general election, as a messenger or paid canvasser. I think Mr. Earle has made a little misapprehension in stating posi tively that I wished Brodie to be employed at the general election. I only inferred that that was what he sequirod. I might have seen Brodie a dozen times in the street on occasions when he followed me. The time I have mentioned is the only one he spoke to me in the House of Commons. He called frequently at my residence, but I never saw him by appointment—most certainly not. I think I said to Brodie, " How do you do ? Well, Brodie, what are you doing ?" I never touched his arm, or told him to follow. Chairman—You went into no room ? Mr. Disraeli—No. There is no room, large or small, on the left side of the lobby of the House of Commons. Chairman—Did you tell bins he could befriend Mr. Earle at Berwick ? Mr. Disraeli—On the contrary, he told me he could be friend Mr. Earle. Chairman--That was the subject of vital importance he wished to communicate ? Mr. Disraeli—That I don't know. When he attempted to speak I stopped him. Chairman—Did he say he would do what he could ? Mr. Disraeli—l can't say he talked so much. Chairman—Did you tell Brodie to go to Mr. Rose and tell him to get money to go to either Berwick or Frome and get votes, as you were anxious to put £5O into his pocket ? Mr. Disraeli—lt is scarcely necessary for me, I should think, to answer such a question. Most certainly not. Chairman—Did you ever say you wished to give him a turn ? Mr. Disraeli—No. Chairman—Did he ever tell you who would take bribes at Berwick or Frome ? Mr. Disraeli—No. Chairman—Did you ever tell him Mr. Rose was right in exercising caution in not giving him what he required ? Mr. Disraeli—No ; never. Chairman—Did you tell Brodie you had seen Mr. Rose sad that he would give him what he required ? Mr. Disraeli—No, certainly not. There's no foundation for that statement. Chairman —Did you tell Mr. Rose Mr. Brodie was in your confidence ? Mr. Disraeli —No—on the contrary, when I saw Mr. Rose on the occasion referred to I told him who he was. Chairman—Did you ever toll him that Brodie had been of great se;.vice to the Government ? Mr. Disraeli—No. Chairman —You know Mr. Earle wished to enter Parlia ment ? Mr. Disraeli—Yes, I knew that was his wish. I did not wish to stand in the way of any young man rising, and I gave him the best advice I was able. I said I was glad he had the friendship of Captain Gordon, as he was a gentle man of great influence, and I wrote a letter to that effect. I only received one letter from Mr. Earle while he was at Berwick, and that was requesting a long leave of absence. There was a letter written relative to the Barracks, but it was not sent to me. I cannot recollect whether I was asked to see Gen. Peel on the subject. I cannot clearly recollect whether I saw Gen. Peel in the Houie, or whether I wrote to the War-office. I never wrote to Mr. Earle, but the information he required was forwarded to him. I could not write to Mr. Earle stating that the barracks would be re constructed. It was not in my department. It would be in the 'War Department. I believe the information sent to Mr. Earle was that a commission had been appointed to inspect the barracks in the North, and amongst them Berwick would, of course, be inspected. Mr. Earle made a little flourish on the receipt of that intelligence about his having obtained a Govern ment inquiry into the state of the barracks at Berwick, but it was merely a venial offence, or exaggeration. Thelonly thing that ever took place between General Peel and my self, with respect to the barracks, was merely to ascertain what was going to be done. Chairman—Did you take any steps to procure money from Mr. Earle to prosecute this election. Mr. Disraeli—No, certainly not. Mr. Barstow—From what you saw of Mr. Brodie should you think he was to be trusted with any secret business ? Mr. Disraeli—He was about the last person to bo trusted with anything requiring secrecy and tact. Mr. Barstow—l need not ask you whether you entrusted him with any money to distribute. Mr. Disraeli—No, such an idea never entered my head. Mr. Barstow—Not at Berwick-upon• -Tweed P Mr. Disraeli—No, certainly not. Mr. Barstow—What induced you to think Col. Gordon was a peraon of influence at Berwick Mr. Disraeli—Well, be had built a church there and he told me he had expended large sums in charity, in the formation of schools there, and from that I expected he had great influence there. Mr. Barstow—Did he ever tell you how he spent the money ? Mr. Disraeli—No, I never asked him. Mr. Lushington—Do you recollect putting the note into the envelope ? Mr. Disraeli—To the best of my belief I gave it him with the envelope unfastened. General Peel—l was Secretary of War in Lord Derby's Administration. I recollect Capt. Gordon bringing me a requisition to restore the barracks at Berwick. It was shortly after I came into offlee. I only recollect seeing Cart. Gordon that once, when I told him the question of making Berwick a military station rested with the Horse Guards. I did not tell him the barracks were in a bad state, and wholly unfit for occupation. I could not, as I knew no thing about them. I - cannot speak as to the letters recom- mending particular barracks, as the War-office have recom mendations from nearly every town in which there are any situate. The whole question of making military stations rested with Ilse Horse Guards, not with me. I recollect receiving a letter from Mr. Disraeli touching the subject of the barracks, and I communicated with him. All papers passing through the War-office become public papers, and they can be seen. I never while I was at the War-Office, heard that any communication had been made to Mr. Earle informing him that Berwick was to be made a military station. I know that an officer had been sent to inspect the barracks in the north. No letter was written on the subject except the one to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, which was to the effect that the question of the barracks was onefor the Horse-Guard!. With reference to Sergeant Brodie I stated that I did not think he was qualified to hold any office in connection with the War Department. Mr. William Peel—l was secretary to my father. I have no recollection of receiving a letter from Mr. Earle, in 1859, relative to the barracks at Berwick. I have no recol • lection of writing an answer. A letter, addressed per sonally.to myself, I should look upon as a private commu nication. Official letters would not be directed to me. I don't recollect writing a letter to Mr. Earle while he was a candidate for Berwick. I have looked through my papers and I cannot find any trace of such communication. I don't recollect receiving any direction from my father to write to Mr. Earle. Mr. Earle is a 'personal friend of mine, and any letter I wrote to him Would be of a private nature—not at all connected with public business. Mr. Phillip Rose—l recollect seeing Alexander Brodie in the beginning of 1859. He sent in his card, and said he was anxious to be employed in connection with the election at Frome. It was very soon after the dissolution was announced. He said he had extensive knowledge then of the persons who would take bribes, and that the Conservatives would be returned. He said if he was sent there, the tailor (Mr. Nicoll) could not show his face, as he (Brodie) would tell the electors that he overworked his servants—used rotten cloth in his trade. He said all thi s w ith grea t volu bility. He said he had come to me on purpose to be re venged for dismissal from his service. I told him he had come to the wrong place to gain his object, and he then broke out into a violent fit of talking. He said he was an intimate friend of Mr. Disraeli, and he should tell him how the business was conducted. I saw he was excited, and I afterwards thought he was mad, and I tried to get him out of my room as quietly as possible. Hs never told me he was Sergeant Brodie, of Weedon. A morning or two afterwards I received a second card from him. I refused to see him, but in crossing the apartments I met him on the stairs, and he then said he wished to have a private interview. I told him he could tell me what he had to say before the clerks. He then clutched my arm, and putting his face very close to me, said, " Only give me £5 to go to Frome." I thought he was intoxicated. It's a pure invention for Brodie to say I directed him to come to me on a certain Monday. I am certain he never said he had sent to Mr. Disraeli to get £5O to go to Frome and get votes. I afterwards saw Mr. Disraeli. He never—most certainly—told me Brodie was in his confidence. I never told Brodie to come to me daily until I could get him a situation. Mr. Disraeli never told me he was in his confidence. He got neither instruc tions or money to go anywhere. He states in his examina tion that I saw him in Downing-street, but I am confident I never did so. At the conclusion of this witness's examination the com mittee adjourned. PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT. Parliament was officially prorogued this afternoon until the 3rd January. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. HEREFORD AUTUMN MEETTNG.—Mownxv.

THE CAPTURE OF THE TABU FORTS, (From the Gazette of this Evening.) ADMIRALTY, Nov. 5. Despatches, of which the following are copies, have been received from Vice-Admiral Hope, C. 8., the Commander in-Chief of her Majesty's ships and vessels in China. CAPTURE OF THE FORTS AT THE ENTRANCE OF THE PEI-HO. (No. 287.) Coromandel, in the Pei-ho, Aug. 27, 1860. My Lord,—You will be pleased to acquaint the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty that on the 12th instant the allied troops moved out of the village of Pehtang, and occupied that of Sinho, driving back a considerable body of the enemy, and taking two entrenched positions on their march, and that on the 14th they attacked and captured the fortified village of Tang-kou, the enemy retiring across the river and into the forts oa its northern bank. To the despatches of the Lieutenant-General in command I beg to refer their Lordships for the detail of these and other purely military operations. 2. The Lieutenant -General in command having ac quainted me with his intention of attacking these forts on the 21st, the French and English gunboats, with the rocket boats of the fleet, were moved into the Peiho on the day previous, in order to shell the outer North Fort, with those of light draft, while those of larger size should be held in reserve for the purpose of checking the flank fire of the Southern Fort, should it open on the troops during their advance. 3. The attack of the troops on the inner fort commenced about daylight, and that of the gunboats, which had been delayed for want of water in the position assigned to them about six, half an hour later the magazine of the inner fort exploded, as did that of the outer fort shortly after. At nine the allied flags were shown from the inner fort, and at eleven the firing ceased, flags of truce being displayed on all the remaining forts. 4. During the afternoon the outer North Fort was taken possession of by the troops without further resistance. In the evening the South Fort, being deserted by the enemy, was occupied, and the booms across the river were removed, but the iron stakes, of which there were two double rows, being fixed with much firmness, a passage through was not opened till noon of the following day, when the gun boats passed up and anchored off Tang-kou. 5. On the following day, a force of English and French gunboats* left for Tientsin, and on their arrival next morn ing, finding that the town was destitute of troops, and the authorities anxious to make their unconditional submission, in concert with Admiral Charner, I placed guards in the forts and on the city gates, hoisting the allied sags in token of its military occupation. It is the intention of the Lieu tenant-General in command to place an adequate force in the town or its vicinity, the infantry and artillery portion of which are now being forwarded in the gunboats. 6. The fire of the gun-boats and rocket-boats f, which I placed under the orders of Rear-Admiral Jones, to whose assistance on all occasions I have been much indebted, was well directed and serviceable : that of the French gun boats attracted attention by its precision. Being placed well in on the mud on the northern bank of the river, at high water, only one English gun-boat was within long range of the South Fort, and all being more or less out of the line of fire of that which they attacked. The enemy, after a few shot, which fell short, ceased to fire on them, and consequently they sustained no casualties whatever. 7. While therefore I have not on this occasion to draw their Lordshipa' attention to conduct, such as that which distinguished both officers and men in the attack of last year, I yet gladly avail myself of this occasion to ex press the sense I entertain of their unwearied exertions, not merely in effecting the landing of the army here, an opera tion continued without intermission until it was completed, but also in the fitting out of the transport fleet ; the embar cation at Talien-whan Bay, all of which together with the keeping up the supplies of the army has involved muoh heavy labour. 8. 1 am indebted to Commander Ward and the survey ing officers under his directions, for a chart of Talien-whan Bay, and the coast line of the extreme of the Gulf of Pechili, made early in the year, notwithstanding much bad weather, for accurate surveys of the Pehtang and Pei-ho rivers, while still in the possession of the enemy, and for much zeal and ability displayed in subsequently buoying those rivers. 9. I am unwilling to conclude this despatch without acknowledging the cordial co-operation on all occasions, of my colleagues, and more especially of Vice-Admiral Char ner, on whose suggestion the effective position assigned to the gunboats was adopted.—l have, &c., J. Hovz, Vice-Admiral and Commander-in-Chief. The Right Hon. Lord Clarence Paget, C. 8., M.P., Secretary of the Admiralty. (Inclosure to No. 287, of 1860.) The undersigned, Hang-fuh, Viceroy of the province of Chi-li, addresses the following communication to the English, and French (French and English) Military and Naval (Naval and Military) Commanders-in. Chief. On the sth day of the present month (21st August), the Honourable Commanders-in-chief advanced upon the forts, both by sea and land, and took those on the northern bank ; this success proves the efficiency of the troops of the hon ourable Commanders-in-Chief, and the Chinese Army being defeated tender their submission. The latter have accordingly withdrawn from all the forts on the southern bank, and are now willing to surrender into the possession of the honourable Commanders-in-chief all these forts, to gether with the whole of their munitions and any fortified camps or entrenchments. The undersigned further engages to depute officers to point out to officers on the part of the Commanders-in-chief the position of any mines that may be in the forts, and of all secret defences placed in the river, in order that no injury may be occasioned thereby to the honourable Allies. It is understood that the delivery of the forts as soon as effected shall be followed by the cessa tion of hostilities in this locality, and also that no injury shall be done to the inhabitants, who shall be efficiently protected both in person and property.

(No. 288.—One Inclosure.) My Lord,—Herewith I forward for the information of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, the report I have received of the late operations, from Lieutenant-Colonel Gascoigne, who is in command of the battalion of Royal Marines serving with the army, and should they prove to have been so fortunate as to have obtained the favourable notice of the Lieutenant-General in command, I feel assured their lordships will feel pleasure in meeting any request which fmay be made in their favour by his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief.—l have, 4k0., (Signed) J. HOPE, Vice-Admiral and Commander-in-Chief. Right Honourable Lord Clarence Paget, C. 8., Secretary of the Admiralty. (Inclosure in No. 288 of 1860.) Battalion of Royal Marines (L. 1.) Ton-Ku, Aug. 24, 1860. Sir, —I have the honour to report for the information of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, the proceed ings of the Battalion Royal Marines under my command, serving by your order with the expeditionary force, and attached to the Fourth Brigade in the Second Division, since landing in Pehtang on the 9th instant. On the 12th August the whole force (excepting the 99th Regiment), moved out for Sinho. The Tartar cavalry showed themselves in great numbers during the advance and made demonstrations of attack, but were repulsed with considerable loss, the casualties being few on the side of the allies. Our own battalion, though engaged, having none. On the 14th, at daylight, the artillery with the 3d and 4th Brigades, and a French force, were sent forward to take the strongly fortified village of Tou-ku. After a severe bombardment the 60th Rifles effected an entrance at the west angle upon the river, the casualties having been but few on the part of the allies. Two deep ditches encom passed the place, and the loss to the enemy was great. On the 21st (having marched out of Ton-ku the previous evening), the Artillery, Engineers, Royal Marines, 44th and 67th Regiments, accompanied by about 1,500 French, moved to the attack of the strong North Peiho Fort. The right wing of the Royal Marines being sent forward under Lieut.-Col. J. 0. Travers, to carry the pontoons and scaling-ladders, these companies were commanded by Cap tain J. C. Symonds, Brevet-Major J. C. D. Morrison, Capt. J. B. Prynne and Lieut. T. H. A. Brenan, with No. 6 Company, which (on account of the deep mud and heiril weight of the pontoons) was subsequently ordered to assist. These officers all distinguished themselves by endeavourtieng to surmount the difficulties that met them at every n s,4 The pontoons being laid down by order of the Comm_ al Engineer, the ladders were immediately taken rounedantaoptehe right angle and put across the ditch.

Captain Prynne was one of the first to enter the fort, followed by some men of his company, and shot down with his revolver a mandarin of note, since ascertained to have been the General-in-Command. Captain Pmane speaks highly o f S ergeant Teacle, of the Bth Company, Sergeant Knapp, of the 83d, Corporal Kelly, •f the 61st, Private Bray, of the 16th, and Private Bower man, of the Bth Company. The conduct of Sergeant Henry Trent, of the 83d Company, was deserving of all praise, as he continued his indefatigable exertions toget the pontoons up, although wounded, until another severe wound obliged him to be taken to the rear.—l have, sir, (Signed) J.

I. R. WOLFE AT NAPLES. We understand that Dr. J. R. Wolfe, well known as the Paris correspondent of the Lancet, has been lately arrested at Naples, there tried before a court martial on a series of charges brought against him by individuals at the head of the Neapolitan hos pitals, and immediately, completely, and honourably acquitted on all the charges thus advanced. Dr. Wolfe, who has st u di e d surgery i n the first schools, and enjoys the confidence of the first practitioners in Paris, and who is also a graduate of the Univer-. city of Glasgow, went out to Italy in charge of some instruments, &c., sent as presents to Garibaldi. On his arrival at Genoa it appears that Bertani insisted on his proceeding at once to Palermo, and under took to forward the cases in a couple of days. They were forwarded, not, however, in time to reach Dr. Wolfe, who, by General Garibaldi's express desire, accompanied the expedition to Calabria. It appears that Dr. Wolfe entered a formal protest against continuing his journey, until he awaited the arrival and had obtained the cases ; but having accepted aniappointm en t on Garibaldi's staff, he was obliged to comply with his orders. Having, in his capacity of staff-surgeon, found it his duty to criticise the treatment of the sick and wounded, he drew down on his head the vindictive persecution of the objects. of his censure. He was accused of being an adven turer, of not belonging to the medical profession at all, of having presented false credentials to General Garibaldi (to whom he had been strongly recom mended by Mr. Ashurst), of having falsely alleged that he was empowered by the " Ladies' Garibaldi Benevolent Association" to communicate to them information on the state of the sick and wounded, of having robbed the stores entrusted to him and sold the same, of having represented the Italian surgeons as assassins, and a variety of other charges equally puerile and false. On every one of these charges Dr. Wolfe was instantly acquitted. He has determined, however, not to leave Naples until ample vindication be given to his character in other places as well as there. We understand that the chief witness who ap peared against Dr. Wolfe was the Signor Alberto Maria, the husband of the lady to whom Garibaldi entrusted the management of the hospitals. 9 TILE BOP DUTY.
