SUN, LONDON, TH UR SDA Y Ev Eli ING- 1 ; OCTOBER 20, 18'.ig. LAW INTELLIGENCE.--( THIS DAY. ) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. The Court opened to-day after the vacation with three Commissioner s on the rota—Commissioners Evans (senior), Fane, and He lroyd. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.) IN RE E. WHITE. This was a, certificate meeting. The bankrupt was a lady, a goveraess at Lewisham, but entered into a specula tion with a lady to produce a transparent music notation, notation puzzlqs, and royal musical games. The accounts, by Messrs. Butler and Cannings, show—Debtor to credi tors, £747 ; to ditto, holding security, £876. The property was set down at £262, and the expenses had been very mo derate, and the losses were on realisation of property. His Honour granted an immediate certificate of the first class. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) IN RE CL ARSE. This bankrupt was described a:. of Newgate-street and Liverpool, foreign manufacturer, and to-day was appointed for his last examination. The case was gone into at con siderable length an application having been made for an adjournment sine die for fuller accounts. The bankrupt was called, and the examination was proceeding when we went to press. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) ASSAULT IN A RAILWAY CARRIAGE-IMPORTANT JEDGMENT.-NEWBERY V BIRNSTINGE. This was an action to recover £4, for that defendant did, on the 10th September last, beat and assault the plain tiff, whereby he sustained damages to the above amount This was a case of the greatest importance to railway tra vellers, and the assault arose out of a dispute concerning a certain seat in a railway carriage on the London, Brighton, and South-Eastern Railway. According to plaintiff's statement, he entered a railway carriage on the evening of the 10th September last. A parcel was on the seat and plaintiff removed it. Defendant then got in and said, " You've got my seat." Plain tiff replied, "Oh no 1 it is not your seat." Upon this defendant seized plaintiff by the throat —striking him several blows—injuring his hat and tearing his coat. A policeman was called in and said defendant might be given into custody at Brighton. The damage done to the coat neeegsitated a new one. Cross-examined by Mr. Buchanan for the defendant—An apology was made and accepted. I did not agree to allow two gentlemen in the carriage to settle the matter. I sent in a bill for £2 10s. as soon as I got the new coat. The police constable on the railway said he witnessed the assault. He would have taken defend Int into custody had plaintiff charged him. His Honour—l recollect in the old stage coach days, when a gentleman put his coat on the seat it was deemed to be his —but I doubt whether a basket of potatoes could book a seat in a railway carriage. Mr. Buchanan then called defendent, who denied having seized Mr. Nowbery by the throat, and said the coat was a very old one. • _ _ FOREIGN SHARPERS. Plainliff—l only had it a month before. Defendant—That young man removed my parcel off the seat and took possession of the same. I seized him by the coat to remove him, and his coat was slightly torn. I apologised, and said I would pay for the repairs. The case was referred to some gentlemen in the carriage, who said I was not justified. A short time back the Paris Constitutionnel gave a full detail of the system pursued by a number of foreign sharpers who take offices in London, and, styling themselves a firm, the title of which is ge nerally compounded of familiar mercantile names, send orders to continental manufacturers, giving at the same time references to some other fictitious establishment in Loudon which purports to carry on the business of bankers. If further testimony is demanded they usually send bills for the amount of the required goods drawn on some leading Lou don bank, which are, of course, dishonoured on presentation; but which, meanwhile, often put the manufacturer off his guard, especially in small pro vincial districts. In this manner all kinds of arti cles are obtained, some of them of the most ludi crous description when viewed as subjects of im portation into this country, and occasional instances have occurred where the parties have felt so flat tered at finding a demand for their goods spring ing up on the part of great mercantile establish ments in London that they have actually trans mitted more than the quantity ordered, in thehope that their new customers would honour them by pushing its consumption. Notwithstanding this exposure, it is said they are actively continuing their operations, and with the amount of careless ness and ignorance prevailing it seems impossible to prevent them from finding victims. The Vienna Presse a few weeks back contained the following, which appears to be one of their newest produc tions. In this case, however, our Post-office might, perhaps, do something. Letters are requested to be addressed to the Continental Trade Company, London, through the manager, John Ellis. No Mr. John Ellis, answering this description is to be found in the Directory, and if such letters were re tained until the applicant caused himself to be re spectably identified, not only would the scheme be rendered difficult, but means would be gained of assisting the police in ease of future inquiries : "The Continental Trade Company, London, begs to inform the public that it is authorised by some shareholders to extend the advance of £200,000 to be made to well-established merchants and others, either by open credit or per endorsement, to the amount of £1,000,000 sterling, at the rate of 5 per cent, interest (besides our com mission). For the greater facility of the public also good foreign bills, their own acceptances, insurance policies, delivery contracts, and other valuable documents, as well as other personal securities, will be accepted as guarantees. " The company, as hitherto, undertakes the agency of patents from all countries, and makes ad vances in cash on patents in order to carry them out. " The further industrial pursuite of tile company will be published in our advertisements in the Vienna Presse, as well as in all other Continental newspapers of importance. " Letters please address, prepaid, to the Conti nental Trade Company, London. The manager, John Ellis." Mr. Middleton said he was one of the parties chosen to settle the matter. Witness told plaintiff he had no right to the seat. At the same time witness advised defendant to apologise, and pay the damage done to the coat. The decision of the referees was to be binding. Mr. Buchanan put it to his Honour whether the 10s. 6d. paid into court was not sufficient, and whether the decision of the referees should not settle the affair, as plaintiff agreed to leave the matter to them. His Honour—lt is an award without satisfaction, and not binding. As regards this case, defendant has committed an assault for which a jury would award 405., and I must do the same. As to the coat, defendant must pay of damages in all 10s., or £2 19s. 6d. above the sum paid into court. The liberty and person of the subject must be protected, and there is some doubt whether the seat was defendant's. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT OP AN AFRlCAN.—Nicholas Said, a native of Bournous, Central Africa, was charged as follows : MURDER OF A CHILD BY ITS FATHER IN THE ISLE OF MAN. John Fisher, 334 A, said that about 2 the previous after noon he was called by the landlord of a public-house in Pall-mall, who said he had a black man in his house who had eaten two steaks, some chops, and drank two bottles of stout, running up a bill of ss. for his meal. The prisoner immediately ran out of the house, got up on the back of a gentleman's carriage, and gave him a great deal of trouble. He got him as far as the Reform'Club, when he refused to go any further, got a largo mob round him, and refused to go, notwithstanding some gentlemen came up and persuaded him to go. He then became very violent, kicked him several times, and bit his hand. He was obliged to get three other constable to assist him in carrying the prisoner to the sta tion, where he became furious, and having assaulted ano ther constable was at length, to prevent further mischief, handcuffed. . . On Sunday week the body of a female child, aged two years and six months, was discovered floating in the mill-dam adjacent to the vicarage, at the vil lage of Kirk Onchan, in the Isle of Man. When taken out of the water the corpse had a hood, or casing bonnet, covering the face, and tied tightly by the string being passed round the back of the head, and brought in a knot under the car. A severe wound was also discovered on one of the temples, in which blood and water were visible. The corpse was subsequently identified as that of the daughter of a tailor named James Kewley, who lives separate from his wife, the latter residing in England. From further information there was a very strong suspicion that an atrocious murder had been :committed by the father of the innocent child, which was made all but conclusive by the fact that Kewley had left the island. It appears that four months ago he left the child to be nursed by a Mrs. Creer, with whom it remained up to Tuesday night, Sept. 27, when it was taken away by its murderous parent. On Saturday fortnight Kewley was 14s. 6d. in arrears, and on that night Mr. Creer went to him about payment, on which Kewley said he would fetch the child away on the Tuesday following, in order, as he then alleged, to take it to some of his father's friends on the north side of the island, who, he said, would take care of it without charge. About eight o'clock on the Tuesday night Kewley accordingly went for the child, and when Mrs. Creer had dressed it he took it away. Kewley went again to Creer's house on the night following for the remainder of the child's clothes which he took away in a trunk. He then appeared to be confused and hurried. On that occasion Mrs. Creer asked him if the child was longing for her, when he replied that it was quite well, and appeared "quite at. home." There is no doubt that the child was murdered on the Tuesday night, immediately after it was taken from Mrs. Crcer's. The wound in the temple is stated by the doctor to have been the cause of the child's death, and he thought it to have been given by a hammer or a stone. An inquest was held on Wednesday, before the High 'Bailiff of Douglas, when a verdict of "Wilful Murder" was returned against Kewley, the father of the child. The murderer must have deliberately planned the foul deed, as be had an excuse pre pared to account for his leaving the island ; he told Mrs. Creer that he had a running in his neck, and was going to a doctor in England ;et it cured.—Cumberland Pacquet. Prisoner said it was all true, and that he meant to pay the 6s. Mr. Albert, the interpreter at the Court, said the prisoner, when young, was taken by a hostile tribe to the slave mar ket and sold there, and afterwards sent to Tripoli, where he escaped. He then went to Smyrna and Constantinople, where a young Russian prince took him into his service. He went with him to Russia, where he learnt the language, and travelled over Europe with the prince. On the 22d of August he was fined £lO, or four months' hard labour, for two savage assaults; but by the intercassion of him (Mr. Albert) the prince forgave him, and on leaving London last week authorised him (Mr. Albert) to pay the fine, and to give him £2 10s. to pay his passage to Paris, where the prince was willing to have him b ac k into his service. The arra ngements having been car r i e d out the prisoner pro mised.to go, but was now, having spent all his money, be fore his Worship. Fined 405., or 14 days. THAMES. A MOST INCORRIGIBLE JUVENILE OFFENDER.—Jacob Hodges, a boy aged 14, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing 3s. 61., the moneys of John Wilson, his master. The prisoner had only been in the service of the prose cutor, a pastry cook of No. 7, Patriot-street, St. George-in the East, for five days, and he then broke open a box be longing to his master. It contained 3s. 6d., which the boy abstracted, and then ran away. He was soon apprehended by police-constable Child, No. 193 H. He said he had spent the money. Child said the prisoner had been a thief for many years, and had robbed several masters. Your worship, continued the witness, convicted him four years ago for stealing Bs. from his parent's landlady in Denmark-street, Rateliff -highway, and sentenced him to two months' imprisonment and hard labour. After that he had a similar sentence for stealing a sheet in Charlotte-court, Whitechapel. His next conviction was at Worship-street, for stealing 145., and he was sent to a refuge in Commer cial-street, from which he made his escape ; and, lastly, he was summarily convicted as a juvenile offender, and sen tenced to six months' imprisonment and hard labour. He has been in custody on other occasions. Roche, the gaoler of the court, said the constable had not stated all the prisoner's convictions, for he had been in the City prisons unknown to the metropolitan police. - Mr. Yardley—He appears to be a most incorrigible young thief, and we must send him to a reformatory from which he canna escape. The mother of the prisoner, who was deeply affected, said her husband was a journeyman bricklayer, and his earnings were only 15s. per week. Her boy was a person of roving habits, and had made her very unhappy. She had three other children to look after. The prisoner had been at school, and could read nicely, and write a little. Mr. Yardley—Do you wish me to dispose of the cr.se ? - The Mother—For Heaven's sake do something with him, or he will come to utter ruin. Mr. Yardley—You don't wish me to commit him for trial ? The Mother—No, sir ; dispose of him as you like. Mr. Yardley—Then I sentence him to one month's im prisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction, and after his imprisonment to be detained five years in the Reformatory School ship Cornwall, off Purfleet. They will make something of the prisoner there. THE CAPTURE OF THE NANA.—It is high time, indeed, that the telegram should announce the capture of the man who of all men who ever existed has done most despite to England. It seems almost impossible that the slaughterer of English women and infants should still live to renew his defiance to our arms. Yet so it is—he that more than two years ago deluged Cawnpore with English blood is still a king, still the leader of a host, still mocks at e and insults the power whic h so long ago menaced him' with instant vengeance, still has with him English cap tives, and still fosters and builds up the hopes of all who hate the English name. Wo must be pardoned if we think the triumphs of our armies are shorn of half their brilliance so long as the Nana survives, and we may be sure this, too, is the universal thought of the natives of India. It may be said, however, that it is easy to censure ; not so to point out what should be done. Look back to tho Afghan war. When ' Dost Mahomed, a far more formidable antagonist than the Nana, fled from Cabool, more decisive measures were un • similar iat a fly exploit fugiti fugitive could dertaken against him. A body of cavalry were selected for the pursuit, led by the Bayard of India, James Outram. ot su A chtl Had it not been for the treachery of Haji Khan, the pur suit The would fastnesses have o f been N e successful. pani a r e not be attempted now, with far greater prospect of success.might easily extricate himself from them, and to f urther east would be to hasten to certain death amid the Himalayas.

TRIPLE MIIRDER.—The inhabitants of the vi. lage of St. Syr-au-Mont-d'Or (Ithone) were thrown into consternation three days back by the discovery of a triple murder, the victims being three females, grandmother, daughter, and granddaughter. The widow Desfarges, aged about 65, with her daughter named Gayet, also a widow, and the daughter of the latter, a girl about 13 years of age, lived together; and one morning the neighbours were sur prised at seeing none of the family moving. It was at first supposed they were gone to Lyons on business. But when the next day came, and the house remained closed, the authorities were informed of the fact, and the house was entered. The first object seen was the body of Mme. Dcsfarges lying on the floor with the head nearly severed from the body. A. few steps farther on lay her daughter, also dead from wounds about the head and neck, and near her lay the dead body of the girl, murdered in the sat manner. The two younger victims had also been shame , fully ill-used. It is supposed that the crimes were perpe trated two nights before during a violent thunderstorm, one of the neighbours having heard what she thought to be groans between eight and nine o'clock. Tho murdered family possessed considerable property and were very cha ritable. As the drawers and cupboards had been rifled it is supposed that robbery was the primary object of the murderers; The authorities have commenced an active investigation. EXIRAORDINARY CASE. .0. On Saturday morning last, the coroner, Mr. Rut ter, received information that a man had been found drowned at Mode Wheel, on the river Irwell, in the township of Pendlebury, in the borough of Salford. On going to take the inquest in the afternoon,' the body appeared to be that of a man about 50 or GO years of age. From the evidence it appeared that a man named Yates, employed at the Mode Wheel Works, dis covered the body in a nearly erect position at half past six that morning, in the sluice leading from the ricer Irwell. With the assistance of a man named James Moyles, he got the body out of the water, and, conveyed it to the bwan Inn, Pendle bury, where it lay until Saturday night. Mary Gorton, who keeps a beer-shop near the Swan Inn, stated that on Friday afternoon this man came to her house, and remained from three o'clock until five. He appeared perfectly sober. During the time he remained he asked for a glass of beer and a pipe of tobacco, and had four glasses in all, for which he paid 6d. Before-leaving, he inquired of her at what time the gates of the lodge leading to Mode Wheel were closed for the night. She inquired whether he was going to Manchester, when he replied, " No, to Throstle Nast." The witness said "he appeared to be upset in his mind," and she had no fiirther 'conversation with him. He was a stranger to her before this. One of the jury remarked, that if it was the per son he supposed, he knew him well. His name was Henry Stokes; but though he was known by this name he was not a man, and his proper name was Harriet Stokes. She had assumed the name and garb of a man for a great number of years, and had served an apprenticeship as a bricksetter, after wards working as a journeyman, and then for several years in business, having constructed many of the warehouses, chapels, and dwelling-houses in the neighbourhood of Manchester, the last work. being the erection of a factory chimney for Mr. Simpson. The Coroner then directed two women to exa mine the body, who came back tittering, saying it was true ; it was the body of a woman. Harriet Taylor, who lives in the neighbourhood, said she knew Stokes well. He was a bricksetter. The proper name was Harriet Stokes, but he went by the name of Harry Stokes. Some years ago Stokes married a woman in Manchester. They lived together as man and wife, and kept a beer shop, in Quay-street, Manchester. Several of the jury recollected the case, and that ballads were composed and sung in the streets on its being known that the supposed man was a woman. The verdict was "Found drowned. Supposed suicide." Since the inquest we have ascertained froin in quiries that it is stated that about 25 years ag o this woman was married to a female, who made com plaint that her husband was not a man, and left her in consequence. REVIVAL MOVEMENT IN ENGLAND. The Northern Express records the first of a series of services to be held in the Sane-3treet Wesleyan Chapel, Sunderland, under the auspices of the re vivalists, Dr. and Mrs. Palmer. On Sunday after noon the first gathering too place, when the chapel was crowded in every part. Dr. Palmer commenced the services, by reading and commenting on a por tion of the Scriptures. Mrs. Palmer then came forward. to the front of the communion rails, and in a sweet and impressive mariner spoke of the holi ness and majesty of God, and His condeeension, for He bad said to His people, Call upon me and I will shoW you mighty things. This was addressed to all the people of God, and every one present should make it a personal matter. They ought to call upon God, and He would show them mighty things. What would be a great and mighty thing ? She knew a person present who had said, " I have a desire to ask a thousand souls this week." Would they think that a great and mighty thing, or too much to ask God ? Let them inquire into their hearts. Some said they had too little faith. That might be very possible, but they must use the faith they had, and they would get snore. Was it too much to believe that the Almighty Saviour could save a thousand souls in this town during the coming week? Some would say no, and the true believer would say, all things are possible to those who believe. Were they willing, then, to be workers with God in) this great work ? God has promised to dwell in them and walk in them ; and if He wanted a message of mercy carried to any sinner, He would walk in them. This was a privilege of the disciples of Jesus, which angels had not; and 'all the privileges of believers were duties. This was a glorious privilege, and ought to be observed as a solemn duty ; if they did not they would grieve their precious Saviour. The disciples were commanded by Christ to tarry at Jerusalem till endued with -power from on high. She had often thought that if Paul was to visit the earth in these days, he would ask of some of the disciples, as he did of old, " Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed ?" There were some present who had not received the Holy Ghost since they believed; and in the name of their Sa viour she begged them not to rest on their pillows till they bad received the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Mrs. Palmer narrated her own struggles 20 years ago :for this baptism from on high, and with feeling urged upon her hearers. the necessity of self-sacrifice, so that the Spirit might be given, and the work of God carried on. Dr. Palmer then gave out a hymn, and invited those who were desirous of being briptised with the Holy Spirit to come up to the communion rail and ask for it. Those who were seeking were also in vited to come up. During the singing of the hymn between 20 and 30 adults went up to the communion rail, and numbers in the body of the chapel mani fested deep emotion The service was closed about half-past four. EUROPEAN MISSIONS TO CHINA. The following are some details relative to the first European missions to China : " As far back as 1314 John of Monte-Corvino went to China, accompanied by a Franciscan monk. They established an archbishopric entitled Khan Balikh. But from that period there is no record of relations between Western Europe and China until 1521, when the Portuguese missionary Pirez went to Pekin ; he was there cast into prison, and it is believed executed. The Jesuits appeared there about the same time, the first of them being Francis de Xavier, who died in 1552, and who has since been canonised. Fathers Valignan, Roger, Pasio, and Ricci continued his enterprise. The latter resolved to try to influence the minds of the Chinese by means of science, and in 1600 he was permitted to offer a clock to the Emperor. his Majesty in return showed him great favour, and numerous conversions were the consequence. The successor of Father Ricci, Father Scholl, was nominated Director of Celestial Affairs,' and became the particular friend of the Emperor. By his influence a Catholic col lege, a school for training priests, convents, and churches were established; but after a while a persecution broke out, and he was put to death. Towards the end of the 17th century, a number of Jesuits were sent as missionaries from France, by Colbert and Father de la Chaise, the minister and confessor of Louis XIV. Two of these ec clesiastics, Fathers Premare and Gaubil, became mandarins of the first class, and wrote works which are still regarded as part of the classical literature of China. The success of the mission was con siderable ; but it did not produce any effect on in ternational relations. At length the Dominicans sent out missions, and unfortunately they tried to supplant the Jesuits. They began by attacking the indulgence which the latter had shown to certain semi-idolatrous usages of the Chinese, and the Je suits retorted. The co nflicts of the two parties created a reaction against Christianity, and (in 1723) it was proscribe d, and a persecution was comm eiteed. Some mission aries remained at Pekin as men of science, but they had to preach in secrecy, and the Chinese Church was virtually anni hilated. With respect to the embassies, the first sent to the Chinese was by the Dutch in 1656 ; the Ambassadors, Goyer and Keyser by name, were received with considerable pomp at Pekin, but were subjected to humiliating' formalities and de lays, and obtained almost nothing except the per mission for 20 Dutchmen to visit Pekin every eight years—a permission, however, accompanied by the declaration that the Dutch would give pleasure by staying away. A second embassy from the Dutch went to Pekin iu 1667, but without obtaining more success. Russia sent one in 1693 and another in 1720 ; they were subjected to long delays and humi liating formalities, but were entertained at feasts and in hunting parties, and ended by obtaining a treaty for making exchanges on the northern fron tier, and establishing an entrepot at Kiakta. The Pope, in his turn, sent an embassy in 1721, and the Portuguese one in 1753, but neither obtained any thing. The first appearance of the English was made in 1792, which completed the list in the eighteenth century. The embassies sent since then have been described at considerable length and generally known." .me I The receipts of the Zollverein during the first six months of the present year were 11,495,000 dollars (L 1,650,000), against 13,263,000 dollars (E 1,900,000) in the same period of 1653. The falling off is at tritartable to the stagnation of commerce caused by tho war in Italy. The principal decrease in the imports v; as in raw sugar, iron, both manufactured and unmanufac trued, coffee, and unbleached cotton goods. The importa tion of unmauufactured tobacco has increased rather largely. SUNDAY TRADING 1N SOMERS-TOW. Yesterday, at the weekly meeting of the Repre sentative Vestry of St. Pancras, held at the Vestry Hall, Camden-town, Mr. Churchwarden Cameron in the chair, the subject of the disgraceful proceed ings at the Sunday market in Somers•town was again brought under consideration by the receipt of the following communication from the Police Commissioners:— "Metropolitan. Police-office, Whitehall-place, Oct. 18, 1859. " have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 17th inst., stating that the nuisance caused by coater mongers and others trading- on Sundays with barrows, trucks, &c., in Chapel-street, and other streets in Somers town, has once more been brought under the notice of the vestry of St. Pancras, and they reiterate their request that instructions may be given to the police to remove all trucks and barrows, and to prevent the loitering and congregating of persons, and the obstructions of the roadways and pave ments in Somers-town on Sundays. I have to acqu a int you, in reply, that the Brill market having been held f or many years in Somers-town, the police cannot interfere to suppress it unless they do so altogether. The parochial au thorities, however, have full power to summon for any in fringement of the law; they can, therefore, if they think proper, take the initiative in the mater, and summon the parti, , s causing obstruction on Sundays, in which case the police will render them such assistance as is in their power. —I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " Wm. C. HARRIS, Assistant-Commissioner. "F. Flaw, Esq., Vestry-clerk, St. Pancras." Mr. DOUGLAS said this was an evasion on the part of the Police Commissioners to shift the respon sibility from themselves. (Hear, hear.) What were the police for unless to remove nuisances which were a public disgrace and scandal, and in terfered with the comfort of the public ? The state ment as to the Brill market was a subterfuge. Mr. Ross thought the best plan, was for that Board to see what they could do themselves to stop this crying evil, although he believed the magis trates were leagued with the police to support these disgraceful Sunday desecrations. He was much struck, a few days ago, in reading the proceedings taken in Bermondsey to put down Sunday trading, where the magistrate appeared to exercise all the ingenuity he possessed to defeat the information. If the. Police Co mm i ss i oners wou ld no t, h ow ever, do their duty, they must see what they could do themselves. Mr. BRE7INGHAM designated the communica tion as a shffi ung letter, and a aid if th e s e . i n f a mies took place in St. James's, or aristocratic plrts, the polite would soon interfere to put them down. (Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN qu Aed the parish solicitor's (Mr. Cooper's) opinion, that under the police act the police have express powers to remove all trucks and barrows, and this power they constantly exer cise in other streets. His advice was that they should apply again to the commissioners to exer cise the powers vested by law in the police, and if they refuse to act, to memorialise the Secretary of State. After some discussion it was resolved to refer the subject to the Works Committee to remove the stalls on Sundays, under the advice of the solicitor to the parish. OUR REPULSE AT TILE P_EIIIO. (From the Chinese Telegraph.) We now proceed to notice the diplomatic part of this lamentable affair, which was in charge of Mr. Brnce, on the part of the British Goxernment, and Mons. Bourboulon, on the part of the French ; we connot, however, detach any responsibility or blame from the former, in consequence of the presence of the latter, seeing that Mons. Bourboulon could not, with the small force at his command, do otherwise than follow Mr. Bruce's steps. his conduct, however, does net seem to have satisfied the French Govern ment, as they are superseding him. It appears that on their arrival at the mouth of the Peiho they found the river as we have described, and[no commissioner or mandarin appointed to ex plain the reason. The inference to be drawn from this being pretty evident, viz., that it was not in• tended to allow the fleet to pass them, until instruc tions to that effect wete received, and the officer deputed by the admiral to request the removal of the stakes was distinctly informed that no mandarins were in that locality, and none nearer than Tientsin, distant 63 miles ; this was intended to imply that a reply must be ob:ained from there before anything could be done. Mr. Bruce, however, would not wait, and on June 21, barely three days after his arrival, he handed the matter over to the admiral, instructed him to clear the way, and to convey him to Tientsin, and by this premature act, of course, committed himself to a state of war, at the very critical moment it was above all desirable not to do so. Every E expedient should have been resorted to to avoid a collision, and waiting a reply from Tien tsin was about the least he should have done. Sup posing he had gained Pekin by force of arms, could it be reasonably expected that the Emperor would in au amicable manner ratify a treaty, after such proceedings. Why, a moment's consideration would dictate that such a state of anarchy and fright would prevail at Pekin, that the Emperor would certainly take flight, and quit the capital for his summer re sidence, 120 miles farther north, leaving Mr. Bruce to his own reflections that such a possibility did not cccur to him while at Taku: Who ever Leard of s plenipotentiary, bearing a treaty of amity and peace, advancing on a capital for its ratification at the point of the bayonet ? Had the fleet succeeded in passing the barriers, it would not, in all probability, have reached Pekin, judging from the capabilities of the Taku Forts. It may, in this light, be consi dered providential that the vessels did not advance" farther than they did, or not a soul might have been left to tell the tale. We do not mean to say that an attack would not ultimately have been found neces sary and justifiable, we only condemn the precipi tate manner in which the attack under notice was I determined on ; and on that point there can hardly be two opinions. The American Minister is reported to have reached Pekin on June 24, but no positive confirmation of this had reached either Shanghai or Hong Kong at the latest dates, nor of the true manner in which he was conveyed there, and received by the Court. So long as he gets there, and procures a ratification of his treaty, he will satisfy his Government and American vanity, that he has.proved a smarter Minister than the French and English ambassadors. The despatches of Mr. Bruce demonstrate most clearly his leading error to be, the assumption of a policy analogous to that followed by his brother, Lord Elgin ; the one arriving in China at a time when the British forces had already been in colli sion with the Chinese—in fact, in a state of war ; the other, th.a bearer of a treaty of amity and peace, which he should have. used every effort to have ob tained the ratification of, and failing which he should have applied to the Home Government for instructions. We deny that his first instructions left no other course but to commit us again to a war with China in the precipitate manner he did. Trade must now be paralysed, and the indemnity to our merchants for the last war, now standing nearly there years, thrown hopelessly out of reach by ano ther war. Had he waited instructions from home, the Chinese would probably have been induced to avoid the calamities of another war, and we should have escaped the irretrievable damage to our pres tige by the defeat at Taku, and the hard fate of the " 464 killed and wounded." On the subsequent acts of Mr. Bruce we commented in our last number, and quite certain are we that each succeeding mail from China will show fresh evidence of his grog error. A SHERIFF-OFFICER BEATEN AND MADE TO BURN HIS WARRANT. The John 0' Groat .Tournal reports that a sheriff officer from Wick, Sinclair Millar, was lately out rageously assaulted and compelled, in order to escape with his life, to burn a warrant which he had gone to the west of Sutherlandshire to serve. The party against whom these aggressive measures were taken was a George Morrison, who had been committed for trial for an assault at the inn of Dunn, while on his way home from the Wick fishing, but liberated F de ri n d e a c y ,L l o a c s i t l , in a ,iltloarsuhmadmopnro:ieoerdreisdontb to haipspreeasri: on bail. The trial was to take place at Wick on s n h a a r - ( 1 1 On arriving, he saw the purport of his visit was suspected by Morrison and his neighbours, and that parties of whom he sought information as to where Morrison stayed were endeavouring to mislead him by denying that le resided where he (the officer) had suspected he did. Millar popped into the house, however, and found three young men there, one with a club and another with an old scythe. He left hi'l missive, however, and returned to the inn where he had lodged the previous night at Rhico nich, but had been there only a short time when, looking out at the window, he espied several per sons close by, and cnong them one whom he recog nised as having been among those in Morrison's house. Anticipating a row, he went out along with his w itnesses to remonstrate with the people, and in order to save breakage of furniture, if any dis turbance was to take place. One immediately laid hands on Mr. Millar, threatening to kill him, and struck him with a stone on the head, inflicting a severe injury, while next, the officer was knocked down, dragged along, and kicked, he crying out not to kill him outright. They then offered ! eying, i u y proposing he should get off withoi t furth( r j the if he would return to Lochinshard. and burn could do warrant. There being no alternative he en t was accord nothing but agree, and the docunoin Mr. Millar's ingly committed to theflanies. made into the return to Wick an inquiry was a s reported to cir cumstances, the case being af,t ' e ll iss i M are to deal with the sheriff at Dornoch, who Is i la it, the outrag e having been committed in Suther landshire.
