THOMAS SAYERS AND WILLIAM BENJAMIN FOR £2OO A SIDE AND THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF ENGLAND.—Again has the event that produced so much discussion among the patrons of the ring been decided, and again have the prowess, strength, and skill of Tom Sayers enabled him to prove triumphant. This was the second time that Sayers and Benjamin have met within the " squared circle" called the ring. Their first encounter, which, like the present one, involved the claim to the champion's belt, took place on the sth of January, 18.58, when Benjamin, who was quite a novice, was defeated in six minutes and a half, there being only three rounds. Those who: witnessed his maiden effort expected he would never again meet Sayerd within the ropes. In this opinion they were soon to find them selves mistaken, for the gentleman who backed him against Sayers on the first occasion, thinking he was of improv ing stuff, was resolved to give him the opportunity of once more entering the lists with his victorious opponent. When the second match was proposed it created the utmost surprise in sporting circles, and it was not until a great portion of the money had been deposited that it was believed Benjamin could intend the meeting. Soon after the making of the match Benjamin was placed under the monitorial guidance of the well-known Bendigo, of Nottingham, who did all that skill and experience could suggest to get his man in tip-top condition. The result was such as to inspire his friends with confidence, as regarded the fitness of their man for the encounter. In make, height, and muscular proportions, Benjamin is a fine fellow, and certainly, when he entered the ring, it did not by any means look impossible for him to have a chance of winning, more particularly as he was said to have im mensely improved in his knowledge of the art since he had been under the tuition of the "bold Bendy." Notwith standing this, Sayers was backed at the most tempting odds, his friends freely laying 4 and 5 to 1. The most satisfactory arrangements were made, a "special" being chartered to convey the belligerents and their friends to the scene of action. The assembly took place at London bridge, at seven o'clock, a.m., yesterday morning, and after a pleasant journey, of some sixty odd miles from the metropolis, the ring was formed by the commissary, on a ground not before visited by the "fancy." There was a stro: Ing muster of " Corinthians" on this occasion. The nner ring, under the management of inspector Billy Dun can, assisted by Keene, and aided by the rest of the offi cially appointed staff, was perfect, and gave great satisfac tion. In the whole, we should say that there could not have been less than 2,000 spectators present, still the most perfect order was maintained. Sayers on entering the ropes, had behind him the eccentric Jerry Noon, and Harry Brunton; while Jack Macdonald and Bendigo did the at tentive to Benjamin. Sayers, who was full of confidence, looked remarkably well, but when he came to throw off his outer garments it became apparent that he was too fleshy. The fact is, Tom had evidently made light of the match, and considering it little better than a gift, had not taken that care of himself which he should have done. We do not, by any means, consider this prudent, as Tom has too much at stake whenever he enters the ring to throw away the least possible chance. All being in readi ness, the combatants were conducted to the scratch and left to begin the contest. Benjamin had unquestianably improved since he first met Sayers, and for three or four rounds made himself busy in the exchanges, getting on to the champion with such force as to gain the first of the three events. His friends were in ecstacies, hut the exultation was soon to receive a severe check, for Tom, having got the measure of his man, took a most decided lead. The seventh round was of a most desperate descrip tion, in which Tom planted on his man terrifically. From this moment Benjamin had not a chance left, and so entirely fruitless became his efforts, that on the termination of the eleventh round his seconds threw up the sponge in token of defeat, the battle having lasted exactly twenty-two minutes. It may be stated that Sayers won with consummate ease. There is certainly a great improvement in Benjamin since he last fought, but still, with such a competitor as the Champion, the game was hopeless. 808 TRAVERS AND MIKE MADDEN FOR £lOO A-SIDE. —No sooner had the great event been decided than the once-renowned Mike and Bob Travers, the black, entered the ring to decide their claims to fistic skill and the above stake. The result of the contest is soon told, for this is another instance that youth and strength are advantages too formidable for even the gamest of " old uns"—and for pluck Mike never was in the ring excelled—to contend against. In the whole, 45 rounds (occupying 1 hour and 34 minutes) were fought, when Madden, who never had the least chance against his m ore Youthful and agile opponent, was compelled to cry, " Hold, enough 1" Mike was much crest-fallen at the easy defeat he had sustained, and on leaving the ring displayed heavy punishment, while the Black, on the contrary, ap peared to be little marked. 808 WEBB AND Jom WINN, FOR £so.—These men were to have fought in the same ring for £25 a-side, but imme diately on the conclusion of the contest between Madden and Travers, the police made their appearance, and hostili ties h a d to be deferr e d t o some future occasion.

The Duke of Cambridge has issued directions that all recruits, on joining the Royal Engineers at Brompton barracks, shall, after completing their rifle drill, go through a complete course of instruc tion in field works and fortification, before being sent from head-quarters. Recruits for the corps of Royal Engineers have recently arrived at head quarters pretty freely, most of them being skilled mechanics, or young men of superior education. Colonel J. H. Lefroy, R.A., Inspector-General of Military schools, has selected four non-commis sioned officers from the various Indian depots at Chatham, and appointed them depot schoolmasters, for the purpose of instructing the yonng soldiers at Chatham garrison. Two companies of the 15th Foot, one company of the Cheshire Militia, and one company of the Wilt shire Militia proceeded yesterday from Portsmouth to Fort Gomer, at Anglesea, for rifle practice. The following men have volunteered from th e Wiltshire Militia, stationed in Portsmouth garri son :—To Royal Engineers, 20; Grenadier Guards, 1 ; 3d Foot, 6 ; 23d Foot, 4 ; 46th Foot, 1; 48th Foot, 3 ; 56th Foot, 1 ; 60th Rifles, 16 ; 72d Foot, 1 ; and Ist Battalion Rifle Brigade, 3. MILITIA. The Northumberland Artillery Militia met at Clifford's Fort on Monday, and in the afternoon, in consequence of Tynemouth garrison being occupied by a detachment of the 3d West York Militia, they marched to the North Shields Railway Station for Hexham. The Norfolk Artillery assembled vesterday morn. ing at the County Depot, South D - owns, near Yar. mouth, for embodied duty. ARMY WORKS. The following circular, relative to the execution of works by general officers, has been issued from the War-office : " Referring to circular No. 309, dated the 7th of Septem ber, NM, by which general officers commanding districts are empowered to direct the immediate performance of such small works as they may consider to be urgently necessary, and from the want of the immediate performance of which the service .would manifestly suffer, Sec re t ar y M a j or - General Peel has ob serve d that this circular appears in many instances to have been misunderstood, and that gene ral officers have ordered the immediate execution of various services, which, though they may be desirable in them selves, are by no means of a nature sufficiently urgent to warrant their having been ordered without reference to himself. He desires to make the following observations on this subject " Thefunds voted in the annual estimates being limited, the Secretary of State is compelled to maintain a constant war over the expenditur2.en4-.WlrsimpliinpoW amp i W a t a d with the sums which calvbs tr. Avntueble from savluger on authorised items; sons to provide = lbr the execution of services not included in the estimates without exceeding the amounts authorised by Parliament. What makes this close supervision the more necessary is that the number of unforeseen services required in the course of the year, which cannot without inconvenience be postponed until the estimates of the ensuing year, is very considerable, so much so that not unfrequently the Secretary of State finds himself reluctantly compelled, from want of funds, to withhold his sanction for their immediate execution. Under these circumstances it will be evident that the powers granted by circular No. 309 should only be exercised in those very rare and exceptional instances which will not admit of the short delay of a reference to this office. Gen. Peel trusts that the foregoing *observations will lead to a more clear understanding of the intention of the above cir cular,. and will be sufficient to induce general officers to exercise with greater caution than heretofore the powers in trusted to them by it. "B. ll.kwEs." HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Registrar-General': Report.) The returns for last week indicate a favourable state of the public health. In the week that ended March sth the deaths registered in London were 1,215 ; in the three weeks that followed they ave raged about 1,160 ; in the week that ended last Saturday they declined to 1,067, of which 603 were deaths of males, and 464 those of females. In the 10 years 1849-58 the average number of deaths registered in the weeks corresponding with last week was 1,400 ; but, as the deaths in the present return occurred in an increased population, they can only be compared with the average raised in proportion to the increase—namely, with 1,540. The result of the comparison is, that the deaths of last week were less by 473 than the number which the average rate of mortality would have produced. This reduction is due in part to the fact that, by an improvement in the working of registration, deaths on which inquests have been held are now regis tered soon after they occur, and therefore with greater uniforthity throughout the quarter, for violent deaths were last week 49, whereas the cor rected average for the last week of the quarter in previous years is 128 ; but after making due allow ance for this circumstance, the chief part of the decrease in the deaths registered must be assigned to a comparatively good condition of health among the population. Scarlatina was fatal last week in 56 cases, dipth theria in 13, showing in the two diseases together but a small decrease on recent weeks. The deaths from diphtheria occurred in the following sub districts :—St. Paul, Hammersmith, 1; St. Mar garet, Westminster, 1 ; St. Mary s Marylebone, 1 ; Christchurch, Marylebone, 1; Islington West, 1; Islington East, 1 ; Haggerstone West, 1; St. Olave, W 1 • BoroUgh-road, 1 ; St. P e t er , W a l worth, 2 ; aterloo-road, first part, 1; Kennington, first, 1. There were 15 deaths from smallpox, all, except three, among children. A man, aged 72 years, died in Grosvenor-street West of English cholera, after an illness of seven days. Last week the births of 952 boys and 885 girls, in all 1,837 children, were registered in London. In the 10 corresponding weeks of the years 1849-58 the average number was 1,807. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.622 in. The readings varied from 29.03 in. to 30.16 in. The mean temperature of the week was 42.6 deg., which is 0.7 deg. below the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). On Sunday and Monday the mean temperature was about 7 deg. above the average ; on Wednesday and two following days it was from 6 deg. to 9 deg. below it. The thermometer in the shade attained its highest point on Tuesday—viz., 56.5 deg. ;it fell to its lowest point, 25.3 deg. on Friday, or 6.7 deg. below the freezing point of water. The range of temperature in the week was therefore 31.2 deg. The mean daily range was 14.5 deg. The difference between the mean dew point temperature and air temperature was 6 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 80 deg. ; on Wednesday and Saturday it approached the point of complete saturation—viz., 100. The mean temperature of the water of the Thames was 47.8 deg. The wind blew generally from the south-west. The sleet or melted snow measured on Wednesday was 0.50 in. The snow began to fall soon after noon on that day ; after two hours it remained on the ground, and increased to the depth of 6 in. The temperature fell to 32.4 deg. at 3, h, pan., a n d con ti nue d at t h a t point till 8 h. p.m. c GOVERNMENT EMIG RATION.--The Government Clara, 708 on the Ist of October, in Captain Joseph B. Pisan s n oa t fi I s e : 4l i i p :lg. C oe l lon a i r i . su p erintendent Henry Lannigan, with 42 married couples, 61 single men, 78 single women, 23 boys between the ages , of 1 and 12, 30 girls between the same ages, six male and three female infants, making a total of 285 souls, equal to 2581 statute adults, arrived at Adelaide, whiche charge in ig ~,t itj a Australia, cat tht 20th of January. SOUTH LANCASHIRE.—it is generally anticipated that the Tory party will contest this division, the selection of Mr. J. P. Heywood in place of Mr. Wm. Brown by the Liverpool Liberals having, it is said, given offence to the Manchester party, and the Tories hope to profit by the misunder standing. SOUTH DERBYSHIRE.—The present members, Messrs. T. W. Evans and C. R. Colvile, will offer themselves for re election. Both gentlemen voted against the Government Reform Bill. It is reported that the Tories will oppose Mr. Colv . ile. NORTH DERBYSHIRE.—Lord G. Cavendish and Mr. W. P. Thornhill will, it is understood, be returned without opposition. Both voted against the Government bill. WEST SUFFOLK.—Two candidates are before the electors for the vacancy which will shortly be occa sioned in the representation of West Suffolk .by the retirement of Mr. H. S. Waddington—via., .Earl Jermyn and Major Windsor Parker. Both gen tlemen profess Conservative principles, but Major Parker appears to be the favourite with the party. The name of Sir Robert Buxton, of Shadwell Court, has also been mentioned in connection with the vacancy, but it is not likely that the hon. baronet will come forward under present circumstances. Up to the close of last week the Liberal party had made no public movement in the matter. EAST KENT.—It is very questionable whether there will be any opposition to the present repre sentatives, Sir Brook William Bridges, tart., and Mr. DeedeS, as the state of the register would hardly seem to justify any hope of a successful issue to the Liberal party were a contest resorted to BERKSHlRE.—Yesterday Capt. Leicester Vernon, of Ardington House, near Wantage, issued an ad dress to the electors of this county. In 1857 the gallant captain came forward as a Liberal Conser vative. It is expected that Mr. Robert Palmer, who has for a great number of years been M.P. for the county, will shortly announce his retirement, and that Mr. John Walter (the present M.P. for Nottingham, who resides at Bearwood, in this county) will offer himself as a candidate. The other two members who will stand for re-election are the Hon. P. P. Bouverie and Mr. G. H, Van sittart. EAST NORFOLK.—A consultative meeting of the Conservative party was held on Saturday after noon, at the Swan Hotel, Norwich, to select two candidates to contest the representation of the Eastern. Division of Norfolk, which is now in the hands of the Liberals. The meeting, which was attended by about 50 of the leading members of the party, was presided over by Mr. Edward Howes, one of the chairmen of the County Quarter Ses sions. Four gentlemen were named as suitable candidates, viz.: Mr. H. N. Burroughes, who represented the constituency for many years, but retired in 1857 ; the Hon. F. Walpole, brother of the Earl of Orford, and author of " Four Years in the Pacific," " Travels in Syria, " &c. ; Mr. Robert Fel lowes, of Shottesham ; and Sir Robert Jacob Bux ton, of Shadwell-court, Mr. Burroughes was invited again to offer himself as a candidate, but declined to give a definite pledge on the subject. After some discussion, however, a resolution was adopted that the hon. gentleman and Mr. Fellowes should be requested to state whether or not they were pre pared to come forward at another meeting to be held on Saturday next. Mr. Robert Fellowes must not be confounded with Mr. E. Fellowes, the member for Huntingdonshire. WEST KENT.—The Kentish Gazette, a conserva tive journal, states that Mr. Hardy will probably be put in nomination for West Kent, in opposition to either Mr. C. W. Martin or Mr. Whatman. SOUTH ESSEX.—T. W. Bramston, Esq., the senior member for this division, has come to the determination not to offer himself again as a candi date when the next dissolution of Parliament takes place.—Essex Herald.—Mr. J. W. P. Watlington offers himself as a candidate. His views, he states, " are more in accordance with the principles of Lord Derby's administration than with those of any other political leader of the day." BOROUGHS. MARYLEBONE.—Sir Benjamin Hall and Mr. Edwin Tames. Q.C. the sitting memb ers f or th e boroughs have intima ted thaitintentiamcif becoming candidates again at the approaching election. FtivsnuitY.—We understand that Sir Morton Peto intends contesting the borough of Finsbury at the forthcoming election. A requisition is in course of signature calling upon Mr. Sergeant Parry to present himself as a candidate. There was a rumour yesterday that Mr. Thomas Duncombe does not intend to offer himself as a candidate, but it wants confirmation. SOUTHWARK.-Mr. Locke has issued au address to his constituents. Mr. A. Pellatt, who was rejected at the last election, again appeals to the electors. LAMBETH.—Mr. Roupell has issued an address to the electors in which he characterises the Government Reform Bill as the " offspring of perverse ingenuity," and adds, "it is for you to say whether you will rest content with the sham Reform Bill offered by a Tory cabinent, or demand and secure for your selves and your unenfranchised fellow-citizens a wise and comprehensive measure." LIVERPOOL—It appears to be the general opinion in Liverpool that there will be no contest this time. Meetings of the committees of the Reform and Con stitutional Associations were held yesterday, but up to the time our parcel was despatched nothing definite had been decided upon by either of them. MANCHESTER.—A very general feeling seemed to I prevail yesterday that the approaching election would be contested. It was rumoured that Mr. I. A. Turner was desirous of retiring, and Mr. Ent wisle (of the firm of Loyd, Entwisle, and Co., bankers) and Mr. Oliver Heywood (of the firm of Sir B. Heywood and Co., bankers) were mentioned as probable candidates in the Conservative interest. Mr. T. B. Potter, brother of the late Sir J. Potter, is mentioned as a Liberal colleague for Mr. Bazley. EVESHAM.—CoIoneI Addison, who was an unsuc cessful candidate for the representation of this borough at the last general election has issued an address to the electors, i n ti ma ti ng his intention of offering himself as a candidate in consequence of the approaching dissolution. BANBURY.—The Hon. J. F. Twistleton Wykeham Fiennes, eldest son of Lord Saye and Sele, High Steward of Banbury, will in all probability be put in nomination as a candidate for the representation of this borough at the forthcoming general election. SALFORD.—Mr. Edward Watkin, late M.P. for Yarmouth, is mentioned as likely to oppose Mr. Massey for Salford, and a deputation has been ap pointed by the Liberal party to invite Mr. Watkin to offer himself as a candidate. BATII.—Mr. Way, the uncle and managing man of J. Greville Smyth, Esq., of Aston Court, near Bristol, who contested the city at the last general election upon "Liberal-Conservative" principles, has already announced his intention of standing again. - HARWICH.—The Conservatives of this borough are so elated with the return of Captain Jervis that they have resolved to put a second candidate in nomination. An invitation has been forwarded to Mr. Dodd to offer himself in the event of a general election. GREAT YARMOUTH.—At the close of the present Parliament, Mr. Mellor, one of the present Liberal members for Great Yarmouth, will retire from the representation of that borough, and it is said that Mr. E. W. Watkin, general manager of the Man chester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway, will again solicit the suffrages of the constituency. Mr. Mellor was elected on Mr. Watkin being unseated in 1857, and it was stated at the time that some such arrangement would be made. Mr. Watkin, who is an advanced Liberal, sat for Yarmouth, for four months in 1857.. The hon. gentleman's candi dature has been announced publicly in the town. NORTHERN BURGHS.-Mr, Samuel Laing is again a candidate, and announces his confidence in Lord John Russell. FALKIRK BURGIIS.--Sir James Anderson will, it is understood, retire ; Mr. Oliphant or Mr. Caird is spoken of as his successor. STAFFORD.—Mr. Wise will again offer himself to his old constituents, by whom he is so highly estimated as to leave no doubt of his re-election. Mr. Alderman Sidney will, it is believed, oppose Lord Ingestre's re-election. ROCHESTER.—In the event of a dissolution Mr. G. H. Money, who describes himself as a Liberal Conservative, has announced himself as a candidate for the representation of this city. The two pre sent members----Mr. 13. W. Martin and Mr. Ser geant Kinglake, Recorder of Bristol—will again be brought forward by the Liberal electors, and from their great popularity with the constituency, and the strength o f th e Lib era l party at Rochester, their return is certain. Both of the hon. members are in favour of the ballot, the abolition of church rates and a large extension of the suffrage. Mr. Money, at the last general'election, announced him self as a can did ate , b u t, a f ter canvassing the city, retired from the contest without going to the poll. CITATRAIL— The Liberals of Chatham have de termined on bringing forward Mr. A. J. Otway, late M.P. for Stafford, in opposition to Sir F. Smith. Mr. Otway is in favour of a large exten sion of the suffrage, the ballot, the abolition of church rates, and other progressive measures; and from the great strength of the Liberal party, coupled with the fact that Sir F. Smith's recent extraordinary conduct, and vote on the Reform Bill has alienated a large number of his former supporfers, there is no doubt that Mr. Otway will be returned.—South Eastern Gazette. NORWICH.—It was yesterday currently reported that the Conservatives intend to contest both seats, and that their choice has fallen on the Hon. Mr. Scarlett, son of Lord Abinger (who sat for Norwich when Sir James Scarlett) and a noble lord a mem ber of the Hay family. Both the sitting members, Lord Bury and Mr. H. W. Schneider,. pledged themselves at a meeting held recently to offer themselves for re-election. EYE.—There is no probability of any opposition being offered to the re-election of the present Con servative sitting member, Sir E. C. Kerrison, Bart. THETFORD.—The present sitting members, the Earl of Euston and Mr. A. H. Baring, will, in all probability, be re-electod. • KING'S LYNN.—It is not probable that the pre sent sitting members, Lord Stanley and Mr. John Henry Gurney, will be opposed. MAIDSTONE.—No arrangements have yet been made by the Conservative party for supplying the place of Mr. A. J. Beresford Hope, who is about leaving Maidstone for the purpose of seeking elec tion as the representative of the University of Cambridge. Major Scott,,his co league,,irill offer' himielf for re-election. Mr. W. Lee, who was an unsuccessful candidate -in 1857, will be brought forward on the present occasion by the Liberals in conjunction with another gentleman not yet named. DERBY.—The present Liberal members, Messrs. Bass and Beale, intend offering themselves for re election, and the latter hon. gentleman will be, opposed by Mr. W. M. James, a Chancery barris ter, who was a candidate at the last election, but who had to retire on the arbitration of Mr. Biggs, of Leicester, chosen to decide which of the candidates should go to the poll. The Tories threaten to bring out a candidate, but no name has been mentioned. NOTTINGHAM.—There will be a contest for this borough. It is understood that Mr. George Moore will offer himself, in conjunction with Mr. Paget, on liberal principles. Mr. Vernon, of Grove, near Retford, Conservative, is also spoken of. Mr. Ernest Jones will also come forward. The latter has issued an address, in which, after alluding to his well-known advocacy of manhood suffrage, the ballot, triennial Parliaments, and an equitable re vision of constituencies, he says :—The foreign policy of England ought, in my opinion, t o b e one of peace and non-intervention ; a policy, I believe, not incompatible with the freedom of continental nations—for liberty is never won as a gift from others, but achieved only as the fruit of a people's own exertions." DOVER.—We understand that the Liberal party will continue their support to Mr. Bernal Osborne and Sir William Russell. The gallant conduct of the latter in India has awakened much enthusiasm in his behalf. SANDWICH.-Mr. Hugessen and Lord Clarence Paget will, it is believed, offer themselves in the Liberal interest again. There is a report, however, that Mr. Huggesen may contest East Kent, in corn• bination with Mr. Rice, late member of for Dover. A MARCH IN CHINA. A private letter from Canton, dated February 3, says : I dare say you will have heard that, since the affair of Shecksing, the monotony of our existence at Canton has been somewhat relieved by sundry little trips into the interior, the object being, as we hear, to accustom the country people to the presence of troops, to show them how harmless we are when left alone, how terrible and irresistible when op posed. As I accompanied the last expedition, which has just returned, and which possesses the historical interest of being the longest march ever yet performed by British troops in China, you will, perhaps, like to have some account of it. I must tell you that our destination was a place called -Fayune, celehrate-a_aa the nest in which every plot for the extermination of the "barbarians" has been hatched, by a committee composed of three Man darins, who were specially intrusted with the rais ing of "Braves" and the general conduct of mili tary affairs against the barbarians, and who, known as the "Fayune Committee," have been our standing bugbear for this year past. However, after the Braves had received their thorough thrash ing the other day, it was reported that these worthies had decamped; whether they had done so or not, it was determined to beard the lions in their den. Accordingly off we started on the morning of the Bth, the force was composed of some Engineers, Artillery, 150 of th e F renc h N ava l Brigade, the 65th Bengal Native Infantry, and a battalion of Marines, in all 1,000 men, under the command of Brigadier Caulfield, Sir Charles Strau benzee accompanying the expedition. Lord Elgin and his staff also rode out with the column on their first day's march The weather was lovely, and the scenery charm ing. At this time of year all the paddy fields are dry, which facilitates the process of marching across the country, although, as the troops generally filed along the narrow paths, our line of march seemed interminable, our array of baggage coolies being almost as extended as that of our troops. Substantial villages were found snugly ensconced in groves of handsome trees, and the heavily timbered hills and smaller knolls betokened the last resting places of the more illustrious of the rural community, whose semicircular graves always occupy the most picturesque spots. After an easy day's march we halted for the night at a village called Kong-Soong, on the bank of a considerable stream, which was, however, fordable for the horses. Here a joss -house had been prepared for the reception of the general and his staff, which before long was surrounded by the white tents of the barbarian host, who in their turn were encom passed by a crowd of admiring Chinamen, for the whole village seemed to have turned out to witness the process of encamping. Then, as night closed in, cheery camp fires began to blaze and crackle, and the hum of many voices filled the air, a perfect Babel of sounds, in which French and Hindostanee, Chinese and English, struggled for the mastery in a confused chorus. Next morning the inspiriting strains of the band were the signal for a start on our part, and a rush on the part of the Chinese, who came to listen to them. Our march led us through a country very similar to that passed on the pre vious day, except that it was somewhat tamer and more Indian looking ; the soil seemed more light and sandy, and the waving plumes of clumps of bamboos must have reminded our Bengalee friends of their native plains. We passed numerous popu lous villages ; so far, however, from any alarm being manifested, the inhabitants all turned out to look at us, the small-footed women with babies in their arms stumping manfully across the rough ground to watch the long procession pass. At every village the elders came forward to meet us, pre senting the General with slips of pink paper as tokens of friendship and amity, while by the road side tables were spread with tea and refreshments, as a sort of peace offering and propitiation. How ever much it was to be regretted that the swagger ing Braves should not have received some severe punishment for the various acts of treachery and audacity of which they have at sundry times been guilty, it was impossible to pass through this smiling, peaceful country and not feel thankful that it had been spared the scourge of war. For you must distinguish between the Braves and the peasantry; had we turned and destroyed these villages in retaliation for the injuries inflicted upon us by the Braves, we should have been making the innocent suffer for the g u ilty, and , have raised up for ourselves enemies in all those whose homesteads we had burnt, instead of keep ing them as friends who have (now that they have made our acquaintance) less sympathy than ever with the Braves. These ruffians are composed of the scum of the province ; there are many of them avowed rebels, all of them idle vagabonds, who prey upon the country people when they are not fighting with their own Government or with foreigners, and to maintain whom for the latter purpose the rural population is heavily taxed ; latterly, however, th e y have refused to respond to this - levy, and this is doubtless one reason why the Braves seem no longer to exist in an organised body. We reciprocated their professions of friendship by issuing printed notices assuring the population of our desire to pre serve peace and order, and our determination not to injure those who did not molest us. We halted that night at the village of Pingshan, where the General and staff were lodged in a really sumptuous abode, dedicated to the most illustrious ancestors of the population of the surrounding villages. Pihquei had notified the magistrate of Fayune of our intended visit, and this dignitary had met us in the course of the day's march, and assured us that he had pre pared all the accommodation of which that town - 1'441 t 't% • - r'' '1 ( ktifo l l:J , .. 4 Gam ; : - ~ -i 4r ! , i - .'. r ,_,4 could boast for our reception. lietelas ear Wilre, the band proved a great attraction, while th e officers amused themselves by scattering cash 15roadeast for the multitude to scramble for. We • reached Fayune early on the 10th, And were deligh ted with the improved aspect of the country as we ap proached. It i s surr o u nd e d b y rounded hills, i. covered with fir and other handsome trees, , while in rear a fine range of mountains raise an irre g.-.'.r line of peaks to a height of from 1,500 to 2,000 feet. It is evidently considered iby the Chinese a strategical point of some importance, as guarding the entrance to the rich plains from the mountainous district which commences here, and runs north for some distance. Though insignifi cant in point of extent and population, it is sur rounded by a wall in admirable repair, apparently newly built; in the centre a rising ground is crowned by a temple, and overshadowed by mag nificent trees. As the troops marched in, to the tune of " Cheer boys, cheer," the small guard of the Imperial soldiers at the gate turned out--a signifi cant indication of the altered state of our relations in this part of the empire. Some of the. troops were lodged in temples and yamuns inside the town ; others were encamped on a hill behind it ; while the General and Staff occupied the very rooms in which the celebrated commissioners used to concoct those dire machinations by which they hoped to turn us out of Canton. What city in the province at present shelters their dishonoured heads is a mystery. A visit which the magistrate paid the General to-day was returned on the following day, the usual compliments being exchanged; indeed, the magistrate professed to derive great enjoyment from our visit, and assured us that he would be delighted to lodge and care for any shooting or picnic parties who might be tempted to explore the charm. ing country in the midst of which Fayune 'is situated. We regretted that our stay was not long enough to admit of any extended rambles, which would have been doubly appreciated after the routine of Canton. However, we had no reason to complain, the weather continued lovely, and no contretemps occurred to mar the general success of the trip. In justice to the men it should be re marked that they behaved admirably, nor,so far as I am aware, were any complaints -made by the people of violence or a tendency to "loot" on th e i r part. The mar c h b a nk was per formed in two days,- some coolies being hired out of the villages through which we passed to carry the men's packs, and on the afternoon of the 12th we were all ssfely housed again in Canton. - There is some talk of a gunboat expedition next week to a place called Shaouking, said to be an important city about 100 miles up the great western river. FRENCH ACADEMY OF SCIENCES. At the last sittinc , a letter was read from Dr. Ch. Jackson, giving a description of the auriferous placers of Dahlonega, Georgia, 'U.S., where large hydraulic works are being undertaken, on the Californian model, for gold-washing; the Chestertee, Yahoola, and Etau, contributing their waters for the purpose. It has been ascertained that by making the water pass through pipes ate high pressure, earth containing only one-third of a cent's worth of gold per bushel can be washed at a profit; and as the whole district of Dahlonega will yield at least three cents of g o ld p er b us h e l, and in some places as much as ten, the undertaking will _be highly profitable. Some favoured spots contain vast auantities of the precious metal. Dahlonega is a town of Lumpskin County, Georgia, which was bought of the Cherokees about twenty-five years ago. Its geological formation is very simple, con sisting of a soft micaceous and amphibolic schist, so broken and decomposed that it can be shovelled away like common earth to the depth of eigthy feet sometimes. There Is no trace of drift or de nudation, and the gold on the hills is distinctly crystalline, and not rounded off a t th e e d ges, as i t would be by rolling ; it is so, however, on the banks of the rivers, where it has undergone the friction of the sands and waters. The amphibolic schist above-mentioned is intersected with regular veins of auriferous quartz, as also of tetradymite or tellu ruret of bismuth, also containing gold. Specular and magnetic iron are abundant in this auriferous region, as is also the case in the Carolinas, and in California.—M. Nickles wrote to announce that his discovery of the presence of flourine in the mineral waters of Plombieres, announced in 1857, has since been fully confirmed by the discovery of a vein of fluor spar in that basin, at the very base of the mineral springs. —M. Laiguel submitted a new plan for the canal through the Isthmus of Suez, which, in his opinion, might be advantage ously substituted for the old one. M. Guerin de Meneville sent in a paper to show that the silk work of the Aylanthus glandulosa, which he is now endeavouring to propagate in Fradee, s the same as the wild silkworm mentioned by the Jesuit d'lncarville as living on the ash (that being the name he gives to the tree since called ailan thus), and on another tree which he calls the pepper-plant of China, but which the inhabitants of the country call fizgara. M. Elie de Beaumont presented several hydrographic charts and a paper by M. A. Boutakoff, a captain of Vie Russian navy, on the mouth of the Syr-Dariah or laxartes, in the Lake of Aral. The maps show the outline of the banks and the soundings taken in 1847, 1853, and January, 1859, from which it appears that the delta of that river is undergoing constant changes. PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchangeon London is 25.072 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the Eng lish Mint price of £3 17s. lON. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is nearly 4-10ths per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 423 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.11 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint pnce is therefore about 3-10ths per cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London. The !course of ex change at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 109/- per cent., which, when compared with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the ex change is slighly in favour of England ; and, after making allowance for chrages of transport and difference of inte rest, the present rate leaves a trifling profit on the impor tation of gold from the United States. RESULTS OF COMPETITIVE EXAMINATION.—It may have been observed that a few weeks ago the successful candidate fort the Hertford University Scholarship, Oxford, was Henry Nettleship, a Charterhouse exhibitioner. The Porson University Scholarship at Cambridge has just been won by Richard Jebb, also a Charterhouse exhibitioner. In the year 1850 the governors of the Charterhouse threw open four scholarships at . the Charterhouse, to be com peted for by boys at the school in their 15th year. Both the abovenamed gentlemen were elected scholars in this way. It may be added that the first Christ Chursh studentship thrown open to the whole college was won by a Charter house elective scholar, George John Blore. 'When afterwards Christ Church extended their competition, and threw stu dentships open to the whole university, the first student ship thus won was won by a Charterhouse elective scholar, Frank Parnell. VACCINATION.—An order has been issued from the Privy Council-office, stating that whereas by the Public Health Act of 1858 the Privy Council are em powered to issue regulations for securing the due quali fication of all persons to be contracted with by guar dians and overseers of unions and parishes in England for the vaccination of persons resident in such unions and parishes, it is enacted " That no contract for vaccination shall be entered into by such guardians or overseers, except with a medical practitioner who shall be legally competent to practise both medicine and surgery in England and Wales. Provided, that if in any union or parish it shall not be practicable for the guardians or overseers to contract with a person residing in or near to the district for which he shall be required to act, fully qualified as aforesaid, the guardians or overseers may report the circumstances to the Poor Law Board, and the said board may permit a contract to be entered into with a medical practitioner not fully Observe-- o e ns, qualified for so long a time as the said hoard shall deem proper."
