3ed a hall • Mr. ]sion, ;tined lorted rance inge very ff h ich :eived .nt to t be a .h na %sure, MONEY MARKET AND CITY IVEWST CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The inquiry for discount accommodation has been very much curtailed during the last few days, in consequence of an expectation that the minimum rate of discount at the Bank of England will be immediately reduced to 51, if not to 5 per cent. Accommodation is already obtainable at the latter quotation in the general market, but a movement on the part of the anthorities of only a per cent. would no doubt have this effect of forcing the rates out of doors to a lower point than that already attained. The only drawback at the present mement is the position of the Exchange at New York, which many regard as an unfavourable feature, since it may operate adversely upon the course of monetary affairs by causing an influx of specie from this country to the United States. The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon exhibited a further slight decline in the rate on Hamburg; the quotations on Vienna and Trieste, however, were rather higher. The Directors of the Royal Portuguese Railway Company have made a final call of 300 f. per share, payable from the Ist to the 15th of January next. Rather less activity prevailed in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, but prices were firmly maintained. The sales were about 3,000 bales. The following are the days appointed for the shutting and re-opening of the transfer books at the Bank of England:— Shut. Reopen. Three per Cent. Consols Friday, Dec. 7..

From these it appears that the total declared value of the exports front the United Kingdom was £112,956,527, against £108,755,184 in the like period of 1859, showing an increase of £4,201,343. The increase 15 most perceptible in cotton manufactures, cotton yarn, earthenware, linen yarn, iron, seeds, British spirits, sheep and lambs' wool,and woollen worsted manufactures; but there is a falling off in beer and ale, coals and culm, haberdashery and millinery, hardwares and cutlery, silk manufactures, thrown silk, British spirits, and refined sugar. The importations of the principal articles for the like period were larger as respects live animals, cocoa, coffee, corn, flour, raw cotton, indigo, fruit, provisions, rice, saltpetre, pepper, rum, tallow, tea, tobacco, wine, and sheep and lambs' 'Wool. There was a diminution, however, in flax, hemp, potatoes, raw silk, spices, brandy, and Inirefined sugar. The shipping accounts exhibit an increase in the amount of tonnage employed in the foreign trade of the United Kingdom for the ten months, for the sutries inwards of 565,030, and of 365,998 tons for the clearances outwards. In the coasting trade for the like period, 420,474 tons more were employed than to the corresponding date of 1859 for the entries inwards, and 548,966 tons for the clearances outwards. The Market for Public Securities opened quietly, with a steady hut inactive appearance. Buyers, however, afterwards came forward, and their operations, although limited, have caused an improvement of 1 per cent., Consols having risen from 9 31 g to 932 1 for the acccount ; the price for money is 93i ;,,-". The market presents rather a buoyant appearance, and the favourable tendency of monetary affairs no doubt contributes to the prevailing firmness. The New Three per Cents. hid the Reduced are steady, at 911 i ; India New Loan is at 1031 f ; ditto 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper is firm, at 1011; and Exchequer Bills are flat, at 4s. dis. Very little business has been reported in the Foreign Market, and prices, in some instances, is tolerably steady. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 73 1 ; ditto New, 581- to 584 ; Brazilian 41 per Cents., 285 8, are firm at 891 ; ditto, 1860, a t 89 ; an d Bu enos Ayres at 961 ; but Belgian 21 p er C en t s . h ave receded to 561 ; and Dutch 4 per Cents, to 100. t. The dealings in the Railway Share M ar k e t h ave een moderately active, and a further improvement alas taken place in prices, particularly as regards Lancashire and Yorkshire and Midlands. The termer has advanced £1 to £1 10s, and the latter Caledonians have improved ss. ; Great Z.externs, 10s.; North Westerns, 55.; South- Westerns, 55.; and North-Eastern (York), ss.

This is more particularly the case as applied to il l e °r leY's, for his " Cattle Food" is recommended by him taixed with the food of cattle as a condiment or sea ,%:"n9, and net to be given alone essentially either as food l'o tn o d ed ; c ine• It would be fallacious to eamine Thorley's a 41 a Purely medicinal point of view; for it is simply o„9.ndiment in cattle cookery for the seasoning of the food Tie stock. All food is medicinal, and the best of all medi s is food, and in this dietetic light it would be difficult to In r:estimate the medicinal value of Thorley's Condiment the hands of a skilful veterinarian and farmer. With the 4;dness of thi s conc l us i on a ll rea d ers, judging from an? , must be familiar from daily experience ; and this is whichmple noo T ke h af_Tn:deoaryrieleyt is s eautiful theory, or rather practice, now introducing into our cattle African Steamship :V C' atthe rat e a 7 report of the directors of the which a balance per share, Company recommends a dividend of 7s. per cent. per annum, after ace of 4:554 will remain to be carried forward, SHARE MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. THE WAR IN CHINA. FOREIGN-OFFICE, Nov. 27. The following despatches and enclosures were received at the Foreign-office this day from the Earl of Elgin, her Majesty's Envoy and Minister Plenipotentiary in China :- - Ho -see- woo, Sept. 16, 1860. My Lord,—On the early morning of the day succeeding that on which I addressed to your lordship my despatch of the 11th inst., from Yang-tsun, and when I was already on horseback, two white-buttoned mandarins arrived in hot haste from the north, b ear i ng w ith them a letter to me from Prince Tsai and his colleague, the translation of which is the first of the documents herewith enclosed. This com munication, as your lordship will observe, was somewhat defiant in its tone. The writers expressed surprise at my having started with a force from Tientsin, in spite of their letter of the previous day, which letter had not however reached me until two days after my departure from that place ; and required me to return thither in terms slightly imperious. It appeared to me that the proper way of dealing with such a communication was to take no notice of it, whatever, and aeoordingly, without making any reply to it, I accompanied the advancing column of the army to Nan-tsie-tsun, a village which had been already fixed upon as the limit of that day's march, and which was about eight miles beyond Yang-tsun. About 7 o'clock in the evening a further communication from the same personages reached me at our new halting place. Its translation forms the second enclosure of this despatch. It purports to be a reply to my communication to them of which the copy was sent to your Lordship in my des patch referred to above. Both in letter and spirit it is more modest than that which I received from them only twelve hours before. It concedes unconditionally, al most all the points in controversy between us. A strong desire is expressed that the British army may not be per mitted to go beyond Hoo-see-wao, a village one day's march in advance of Nan-tsie-tsun, and this request is accompanied by the somewhat ingenuous remark, that, if halted there, it will still be sufficiently near to -be called into play, should any hitch occur in the conduct of negotia tions. Before replying to this communication, which would not manifestly be treated with the same disregard as its predecessor, I addressed to Lieutenant-General Sir Hope Grant a letter, the copy of which, together with a copy of his reply, forms enclosure 3 of this despatch ; with the view of ascertaining whether or not we were in a position to continue, without interruption, our hostile ad vance on Tung-chow. If the answer to this inquiry had been - in the affirmative, I might perhaps have deemed it expedient to decline to listen to any overtures from the Chinese Plenipotentiaries, until I should have been either under or within the walls of that city. When I learnt, however, that in the judgment of the Commander-in-Chief, it would be necessary, before undertaking a march which might end in the assault of Tung-chow, to create a large depot of stores at Ho-see-wao, and to bring up heavy guns, operations which would occupy from eight to ten days at the least, and which might perhaps involve a much more considerable expenditure of time, I resolved, with his entire consent and concurrence, to make a communication to the Chinese Plenipotentiaries, which might perhaps have the effect of bringing matters to a speedier issue, and enable us to avoid delays, which at this season of the year, and in the present low state of the river, are not unattended with hazard. I may add, that Ido not think I could possibly, for the space of ten days or a fortnight, during which the General would have been engaged in concentrating a large army at Ho-se-wao, have turned a deaf ear to such overtures as Prince Tsai and his colleague were making, without justifying the belief that the avowed ob ject of our march on Pekin was not the real one, and that while we professed to be enforcing the stipulations of a treaty, we were, in point of fact, bent on the conquest of the empire. A desperate attempt to resist, involving pro bably an appeal to the patriotism of the populations in our rear, or a speedy light into Tartary, would have been the only alternative open to the Emperor and his advisers, if this conviction had obtained possession of their minds. The communication which, under these circumstances, I determined to address to the Chinese Plenipotentiaries, was in substance to the effect that the British army would continue its advance on Tung-chow, crushing all opposi tion which it might encounter. But that if the Chinese authorities gave me the securities for their good codduct which I required, I would cause it to halt at a point within an easy stage o; that city, and proceed from there with an escort of 1,000 men to Tung-chow, for the signature of the Convention,tand to Peking, for the exchange of the ratifications of the treaty of Tientsin. I embodied theee conditions in a letter which I entrusted to Messrs. Wade and Parkes for delivery, recommending them at the same time to endeaveur, if possible, to obtain a personal interview with the Prince and his colleague, as I thought that what they might say verbally, in explana. tion of our real views and objects in China on such an oe sion, when for the first time a functionary of tho highest authority was about to come into contact with us, would be likely to produce a much more salutary effect than any thing which I could write. For reasons which they ex plained on their return, and which were perfectly satisfac tory to me, these gehtlemen eventually decided not to de liver my letter. But they obtained access to the Prince and his colleague, and conducted all the other duties of their important and somewhat hazardous mission with a courage and ability which does them the greatest honour. A letter to me from Mr. Wade narrating briefly the prin cipal incidents of this mission, the translation of a com munication from Prince Tsai and his colleague, which crossed them on their way, and of a further communica tion from the same persons which Messrs. Wade and Parkes brought back with them from Tung-chow, form enclosures 4,5, 6, of this despatch. On their return, I put Baron Gros and Lieut.-General Sir Hope Grant in, possession of the information which they had gathered duringf o ll ow i ng their mission, and th e plan of proceeding was, ater deliberation agreed on . The Co n -e. manders-in-Chief resolved to proceed on Monday, the 17th inst., from Ho-see-wao, to the point at which it had been arranged that the bulk of the allied army should halt, and which it was understood would be reached in two days' march ; at the same time, or rather before the departure of the army, Mr. Parkes undertook to start from Tung-chow, accompanied by some of the gentlemen of my suite, who were to proceed thither for the purpose of making prepara tions for the reception of the Embassy to that place, and to procure for us the means of transport, in which we were sadly deficient. Sir Hope Grant also determined to take advantage of Mr. Parkes's return to Tung-chow, to send with him officers of the Quartermaster-General's depart ment, and of the Commissariat, and to furnish an escort for the protection of the whole party. The French Ambassador and Commander-in-Chief re solved, on their side, to adopt somewhat similar measures. The last enclosure of this despatch is a copy of a letter, which I requested Mr. Parkes to deliver to the Prince Tsai and his colleague, on his arrival at Tung-chow. It in forms them that I agree substantially to the terms for effecting a pacific settlement of our pending differences with China, which they had been induced by Messrs. Wade and Parkes to offer. I re_ qbired, however, that a proclamation should immediately be issued to apprise the people that it was at the request of the Chinese Commissioners them selves that the British army halted at the placed fixed upon, and I added that I would come:under no obligation to withdraw it from this advaneed position, until I should have been satisfied that the t hinese Government had re solved to keep its treaty engagements. I also adverted in this communication to the fact, that I was the bearer of a letter from her Majesty to the Emperor of China, which I should desire to deliver on my arrival at Pekin.—l have, &c., ELGIN AND KINCARDINE. The Lord John Russell, &c Enclosure 1. Received September 12, 1860, 6 a.m. Tsai, Prince of S. &c., and Muh, President of the Board of War, &c., Imperial Commissioners, make a communica tion : The Prince and his colleague, having had the great honour to receive his Majesty the Emperor's gracious com mands to proceed as Ministers plenipotentiaryl to Tien tsing, and there in conference with his Excellency the British Minister definitively settle the form in which the stipulations accordee were to be arranged, addressed a despatch to that effect to his Excellency the British Minis ter, upon the 25th inst. (10th Sept.) Presuming that his Excellency cannot fail to have informed himself of these fact, they are, indeel, astonished to learn that his Rxcel lency has, notwithstanding, again arrayed his troops, and is moving forward from Tientsing. The purpose of his Excellency's Government being rela tions of friendship to endure for ever with the Government of China, is this hostile movement (literally, array of troops) reasonable ? If a hostile movement be necessary, then friendly relations do not exist ; in view of these cir cumstances, it appears to the Prince and his colleague, that it would be inexpedient on their part to hurry forward without further deliberation, and it becomes their duty to request his Excellency the British Minister to send back to their quarters at Tientsing the whole force he has brought thence with him, thereby to show that he has no feeling of animosity, and to put it in some degree in the power of the Prince and his colleague, to proceed to Tien-tsing, and in conference with him dispose of whatever there is to be deli berated about; such being the course (consistent with pro fessions) of eternal friendship. They would add, that if what is required is the execution of the treaty now concluded, without any additions extraor dinary, they are not like the Chief Minister Kweiliang,t they will assuredly not eat their words. But if the British Minister insists on advancing with a force, he will not send back his troops, it is plain that he is not earnest in his desire for friendly relations. The troops of Government hold positions throughout the neigh , bourhood of Ho-see-wao, and if there should be any misun derstanding between them and the others, the negotiations of peace will be seriously prejudiced by it ; nor is it possible for the Prince and his colleage to interfere. They can only hope that his Excellency will think over what has been stated. They are already at Matsu,* where they will wait until his Excellency write a reply to say that his troops are returned to Tientsing ; that thereupon they may pro ceed to Tientsing. A necessary communication addressed to his Excellency the Earl of Elgin. Hienfung, 10th year, 7th moon, 20th day, 11th Sept., 1860. Translated by THOMAS WADE, Chinese Secretary. Enclosure 2. Received at Nau-tsai-tsun, Sept. 13, 1860, 7 p.m. Tsal, Prince of S, and Muh, President of the Board of War, ere., &c., Imperial Commissioners, make a communi oation in reply. On the morning of the 7th day of the present moon (12th September), the Prime and the Minister his colleague , received a despatch from his Excellency the British Mini ster, in which he states that "he had never desired any other than a pacific solution of the present question:: These words, which prove his Excellency is sincere in his desire for friendly relations, are most gratifying to the Imperial Commissioners. His Excellency proceeds to say, " that it was only because Kweiling showed himself unable to sign the Convention immediately that his Excellency had felt it his duty, in order to prevent further loss of time, to move to some place nearer (the capital) ; and had ac cordingly resolved to proceed to Tung-chow." The Prince and his colleague have had the honour to be appointed, by the gracious commands of his Majesty the Emperor, Special Plenipotentiaries for the negociations of peace. They have reached Matan, where it had been their intention to wait until the forces of the British Minis ter should be withdrawn to Tientsing, and then to proceed to Tientsing and there sign the treaty (the convention 19 as originally considered, and so bring the question to a pacific termination, that no further time might be lost. His Ex cellency, fearing a further loss of time, adheres to his inten tion to proceed to Tung-chow; and seeing that if the Prince and his colleague were to return thither now that they have reached Matan, this moving back and forward would occasion a further postponement of the day (of sig nature), it would be best (they think) that there should be a conference between the parties. If, therefore, the Bri tish Minister will retire his forces to Tientsing, the Prince and his colleague will have it in their power to repair at once to Tientsing for a conference for the consideration and dispatch of business. But if his Excellency be apprehen sive that time will be wasted by these movements to and fro, there would be no objection whatever to his halting his force at Yung-tsun, and selecting some place midway (between that town and Matan) near enough to suit his convenience, at which business might be discussed and disposed of. Let his Ex cellency decide whether it shall be Ho-see-wao or Ngan Ping, and inform the Prince and his colleagues which he choses, and they, on receipt of his reply, will name a day for a conference, and having then at whatever spot within reach [he shall name] or without travelling further, con cluded a treaty [containing] the propositions originally brought forward, seal tt and sign it. Thus, assuredly, there will be no delay, if negotiona should not run smoothly, what difficulty would his Excellency have in recommenc ing his march upon Tung-chow. It would never be too late. His Excellency is requested to reply with all speed. The Prince and his colleague will make a point of awaiting his reply to shape their course. They have to add that on receiving their special commis sion to come forward and negotiate peace, they set out in such haste that it is impossible that there should be perfect uniformity in the paper, seals, &c., which they use ; but let this occasion no doubt or apprehension to his Excellency.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Lord Chief Baron Pollock and a Common Jury.) DOBBS V. HELLIER. This was an action of damages for trespass {►nd conver sion of goods. The defendant pleaded the general issue. It appeared from the evidence that the plaintiff was due the defendant £2O of rent in March, 1853; and it was then agreed that he should become a weekly tenant, and sell his stock of tools to the defendant for £5 Bs., the plaintiff to re-purchase them again at one pound per week. The defendant alleged that the plaintiff removed his furniture without paying his rent, and left the shop -door open, and the defendant took possession in June last. The money for the tools was not paid. There was no person present when it was agreed to let the house quarterly and the shop weekly, at 3s. 6d. per week, to the plaintiff. 13 weeks' rent was then due to defendant. The plaintiff alleged a yearly tenancy payable quarterly, and denied the weekly tenancy. The rent was £2O a-year, payable £5 per quarter, and he had a right to remain until legally removed, but unlawful possession was taken by the defendent and his son, who commenced business as a blacksmith there on his own account in August last, using the plaintiff's tools in the trade. Counsel on both sides addressed the jury, and the Lord Chief Baron summed up the evidence. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, £4O damages for the loss, and £l9 17s. for the tools. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) IN RB STRBATFIELD, LLWRBNCE, AND CO.-1100MB LEATHER FAILURE. This was the certificate meeting in the matter of Law rence, Mortinore, and Co., trading in London and Liver pool. The bankrupt's accounts have already appeared in full. This morning the court was so densely crowded that i, was a work of extreme difficulty to obtain entry. The mul• titude were very quiet, and appeared greatly interested. ;I Mr. Lawrence was examined by Mr. Kerslake at grew length as to the money transactions of the firm. The case is expected to last a considerable time. SECONDARIES' COURT. COCKSHOTT V. REV. H. BRETT.-BREACH OP PROMISE OF MARRIAGIL-DAMAGES £1,200. This was a writ of inquiry to assess the damages laid at £5,000, defendant having suffered judgment to go by default. Considerable interest had been excited by this case, and it had been arranged to take it in the Common Pleas Court, Guildhall, instead of the old-fashioned law court in Basinghall-street. A special jury had been sum moned, and Messrs. Huddleston, Q.O , and Williams, instructed by Messrs. Sharpe and Co., for the plaintiff. The plaintiff is a governess, and a young lady of consider able personal attractions, filling a situation in Manchester, and defendant is the incumbent of some place in the same town. The parties had been acquainted for a considerable period, and no less than sixty letters had been entered on the counsels' briefs to be road during the proceeding of the oase. Everything was prepared this morning for trying the case, or rather for assessing the damages, and the Common Pleas Court presented a rather lively appearance. The special jurymen duly arrived, and some few proceeded " over the way," when, lo 1 at the eleventh hoar, or more properly speaking, at half-past ten, a clerk from Messrs. Sharpe and Co. attended, and stated that the case had been arranged between the parties, who had agreed to a verdict of 1,200 damages. A telegram had been received from Manchester, last night at half-past six o'clock to that effect, and so there would be no cause for the services of the special jury. By direction of the learned Secondary the special jury were discharged, and those gentlemen departed gainealess. Considerable disappointment was felt by persons who had " heard of the case," and two witnesses who arrived, having been subpoenaed for the plaintiff, in haste, were informed of the withdrawal of the case. It is usual in oases where the matter is not arranged until a late hour to pay the jurymen their foes, but in this matter a simple discharge was the result, the only consolation being that the plaintiff had obtained £1,200 damages. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. ALLEGED CHILD MURDER AT HOMERTON. Emma Padfield was indicted for the wilful murder of her infant, Augustus Padfield. The prisoner was defended by Mr. Best, of the Oxford Cirouit. From the lengthened reports that have already appeared in The Sun, during the time the prisoner was under exami nation at the W orship-street Police-court, it is unnecessary on the present occasion to give more than an outline of the facts to refresh the memories of our readers. It will be recollected that the prisoner was a domestic servant, and hael for some time lodged in the house of a labouring man, named Mead, at Lea Bridge, Bow. For some time she had a child with her a boy, about three months olds; that about 12 o'clock on Monday, August 27, the prisoner left the house, taking the child with her, which was then in a sound healthy state, and did not return home till about the same time that night, after Mead and his wife had gone to bed, when she was admitted by Mead, who saw that she was without the little boy, and to whom she accounted for the child's absence by stating that her sister had taken it with her into Somersetshire. On the following day prisoner left, asserting that she had got a situation, and was going to it. Nothing more occurred about her or the child till 11 o'clock on "Wednesday, when Mrs. Mead happened to look into the cesspool of her house, and to her astonishment perceived the body of a child lying on its back, with the legs uppermost. She despatched a mes senger for her husband, who procured a constable ; and upon the body being extricated, it was found to be nearly black, the left arm missing having apparently been chopped off near the shoulder. The infant was conveyed to the station, while the cesspool was emptied, but the limb men tioned oould not be discovered. On the discovery of the body the police instituted inquiries relative to the prisoner, and found that she had gone to live at Notting-hill, and on proceeding thither, Inspector B.)wler called at a house in Lansdowne-road, and there prisoner opened the door to him. On being asked if her name was Padfield, she said it was not, but that was Bride. The inspector informed her that ho knew her name was Padfield, and told her that he must see her in the presence of her master and mistress. She took the constable to them, and in their presence he told her he was a police officer, and had come to appre • hend her en a charge of killing her child. She said she knew nothing about it, but admitted she had given birth to a child at Lea bridge about the month of June. On being asked what had become of that child, she said the friends of the young man who was the father had taken it away to keep. She was then informed of the finding of the body, as above mentioned. She said, " I've been in great distress and wanted bread, but indeed I did not do it myself." Her box was then taken possession of, in which there was a con siderable quantity of apparel and other things, including a quantity of baby-linen, several letters, &c. In her master's kitchen prisoner said to the officer, " If you take me into custody all will come out—l'll let it all out. The father has behaved cruelly to me in not supporting it." examined by Dr. Gay, On the body of the child being senior surgeon of the Great Northern Hospital, he gave it as his opinion that the child did not die of any natural disease, but of suffocation. Referring to the amputation of the left arm, he said it had been taken off about an inch below the joint; an attempt had been made to take it off by the shoulder, but had failed, and it appeared afterwards to have been separated from the body by fracture of the bone. The skin appeared to have been cut with a toler ably sharp instrument, though the edges wore jagged. He thought the suffocation might have been produced by drowning. Mr. Best having addressed the jury for the defence, The learned judge summed up the evidence. The jury found a verdict of guilty, with a strong recom mendation to mercy on the ground of poverty, mental anguish, seduction, and previous good character. The learned judge, who was much overcome; passed sentence in the usual form, and the prisoner was removed, crying, from the dock. VHS DAY'S MARX ETS. CORN EXCHANGE. There was a large supply of English wheat on offer in to-day's market, chiefly composed of the samples left over from Monday. For both red and white qualities there was scarcely any demand, and in most instances prices must be considered almost nominal. We were heavily supplied with foreign wheat. Even the finest parcels were very dull, and to have forced sales further depressed prices must have been submitted to by the factors. In floating cargoes nothing was doing. Barley met a very dull inquiry, at a further decline in value of is per quarter. The malt trade was in a most inactive state, and prices were with difficulty supported. Oats changed hands slowly, and heated parcels of foreign were 6d per quarter cheaper. Beans and peas were a dull inquiry, and the demand for flour was most restricted, at Monday's currency.

Sir,—ln my despatch of the Bth inst. I informed your Excellency that I considered it to be my duty, in conse quence of the want 'ox l good faith shown by the Imperial Commissioner, Kweiliang, to intimate to him that I should call on your Excellency to convey me to Tung; chow, and that I should not conclude any treaty with the Chinese Government until I had reached that place. Since I left Tientsing I have been apprised of the nomi nation of new Imperial Commissioners of very high rank and official standing. These Commissioners assure me that they hold powers from the Emperor of the most cer tain character, and invite me to confer with them at some point near to this place. Before I answer this I should be glad to learn from your Excellency whether there are any military difficulties in the way of an immediate advance en Tung-chow that there are none which would not be superable by your Excellency and the force under your command, I confidently believe; but if there be any which would, in your judgment, occa sion delay, it would be my duty to consider them in deal ing with these overtures of the Chinese Plenipotentiaries. —I have, &c., (Signed) ELGIN AND KINCARDINE.

My Lord,—ln answer to your Excellency's letter of the 12th inst., 1 have the honour to state that it will be inex pedient for the army under my command to move from Ho-see .wao for seven or eight days at least. The force I have with me at present is small, and must be reinforced. The heavy guns now on their way up by water cannot ar rive for several days, and it will be necessary for me to for a depot at this place for supplies to make me indepen dent of the country, from which it is very uncertain whether I shall be able to get a sufficiency. Supplies are expected up the rive, but it will take several days before they arrive. —I hare, &c., (Signed) J. HOPE GRANT, Major-General. To the Right Hon. the Earl of Elgin and Kincardine, K.T., &c. Pa-li-chiao, September, 23, 1860. My Lord,—ln my despatch of the 16th inst., I did myself the honour to submit for your lordship's informa tion a statement of the incidents which had occurred here between the 11th inst., when the first communication from Prince Tsai and his colleague reached me at that date. I now proceed to narrate what has taken place subsequently. The arrangements detailed at the close of my despatch above mentioned, as having been determined on after the return of Messrs. Wade and Parkes from Tung-chow, were exactly carried out. Mr. Parkes started forjthat place at a very early hour on Monday the 17th inst., accompanied by Colonel Walker, Quartermaster-Gdnerai of the Cavalry Brigade, Mr. Thomson of the Commissariat Department, Mr. Loch, my private Secretary, Mr. De Normann, one of Mr. Bruce's attaches, who volunteered to go with him to assist him, and Mr. Boulby, and escorted by five men of the King's Dragoon Guards and 20 of Fano's Horse, under the command of Lieutenant Anderson. The allied force and the Commanders•in-Chief com • menced their march somewhat later. I received no com munication from either during the course of that day. On the following morning, however, at about 10 a.m. the sound of artillery was heard in the distance, and at noon a Seikh trooper arrived from Sir Hope Grant's camp. He brought me a letter from Mr. Parkes, but no news from the camp, except the verbal report that a brisk cannonade had com menced half an hour after he left it. Mr. Parkes, in his letter, informed me that the Com missioners had raised the three following objections to my despatch to them of which he had been the bearer :- Ist. To the indefinite date assigned for the withdrawal of our troops, which they contended should take place im mediately after the signature of the Convention ;-2d, to my proceeding to Pekin with an escort, or at least with an escort equal to that which I had stated would accompany me to Tung-chow ; and to the delivery of her Majesty's letter to the Emperor at an audience. It was on this last objection that they chiefly insisted. I do not enclose the copy of Mr. Parkes's letter as it was marked private, but the enclosing sentences are so charac teristic that I beg leave to quote them. He dates it at 4.30 a.m. from Tung-chow, which is six miles from the pro posed place of the encampment of the army, four miles from Chan-kia-wan, and 21 miles from Ho-ss-wao, where I was residing, and he writes, " I am now starting, with Col. Walker an a Chinese officer to attempt the ar rangement of the first of these points (the camping ground for the army). I then go to Chan-kia-wan to start sup ply work (also for the army), then come back to Tung chow tb get out the proclamation, on which Meck-cutters have been at work during the night, and if time and phy sical strength will then admit I shall ride back in the even ing to Ho .see .wao that' I may know your lordship's views on the question of audience, which the Chinese authorities will, I am sure, again recur to the moment they see me." At about half-an-hour after midnight, I received a letter from Sir Hope Grant, describing the circumstances which led to the engagement of the 18th, its successful issue, and inquiring how I considered the negotiations in which I was engaged for the re-establishment of peace, to be affected by this incident. The General's letter was in pencil, and I cannot now furnish a copy of it. But I enclose a copy of ray reply, which I despatched at 4 a.m., of the 19th inst., to the head-quarters of the Commander-in-Chief, by the hands of my Military Secretary, Lieut.-Col. Crealock I followed at 5 a.m., as I thought that the detention of Mr. Parkes and the others who were with him, might give rise to questions, in the determination of which I should take my shar of responsibility. I found that Sir Elope Grant had established his head quarters at Chan-kia-wan, and soon atter my arrival there, we proceeded together to the residence of the French Com mander-in-Chief, in order that we might confer with his Excellency as to the best means of recovering the subjects of her Majesty and the Emperor of the French who were missing. . _ . It was agreed that a reconnaisance of British cavalry should proceed forthwith to Tung-chow, and that Mr. Wade should accompany it with a notification to the chief mandarin of that city to the effect that the Commanders in-Chief of the Allied Armies required all English and French subjects to return to head 'quarters of their re spective armies, and that if any impediment was put in the way of their return, the city of Pekin would forth with be attacked and taken. It was added that Tung-chow would not be molested if the inhabitants kept aloof from all resistance to the Allies. Mr. Wade, in the execution of this mission, endeavoured, in the first place, to cemmunicate with a Tartar camy situated on the Pekin side of the city of Tung 'chow. But he could get no one to acknowledge his flag of truce, and was fired at more than once. He succeeded, however, at length in obtaining access to the chief Mandarin of Tung-show, who spoke of our countrymen who had been in the city, with great calmness, saying that he believed a party of upwards of 20 had left it some time before the firing on the 18th had commenced. This conversation left on my mind the pain ful impression that on their way back to the camp, they had been cut down by the Tartar army in its retreat, an impression which the fact that we had received no commu nication from the Chinese authorities after the defeat of their army on that day tended to confirm. In a further recon naissance, which was made by Major Probyn on the day following, an intelligent native was captured, who afforded us some relief by assuring us he had seen some of our coun trymen proceeding in a cart to Pekin. No communication was, however, received from any Chinese authority respecting the fate of these persons, and the Com manders-in-Chief, with great propriety, as it appears to me, resolved to prosecute their m ovement advance. On the 21st instant, accordingly, a large body of Tartar troops on the road frolic .Tu ca ng c s n w ow hie t h o Pekin was attacked and dispersed, and tp covered a space of several miles were tak en and destroyed. On the morning of the day following ir mI received a com munication from the brother of the Emperor, t informing me that, in consequence of the mismanagemen . of affairs by the Prince Tsai, and Muh, he had turn appointed , Int . - me , and proposing an armistice missioner to treat with with a view to the re-establishment of peace. I answered by referring them to the Notification already delivered to the chief mandarin of Tung-chow, in the name o f th e C omman ders-in -Chief, and informing them that, until the British subjects detained in Pekin were restored, I could not take any steps to stay military operations. I enclose here w ith the copy of this correspondence. I may b e e xpected to say something respecting the ori gin and cause of the renewal of hostilities which took place on the 18th inst. To hazard conjectures as to the motives by which Chinese functionaries are actuated is not a very safe undertaking; and it is very possible that fur ther information may modify the views which I now entertain on this point. I am, however, disposed at present to doubt there having been a deliberate intention of treachery on the part of Prince Tsai and his colleague, but I apprehend that the General-in-Chief, Sadg-ko-lin-sin, thought that they had compromised his military position by allowing our army to establish itself so near his lines at Chan-kia-wan. He sought to counteract the evil effect of this by making a great swagger of parade and preparation to resist when the alied armies approached the camping ground allotted to them. Several of our people, Colonel Walker, with his escort, my private secretary Mr. Loch, Baros Gros' Secretary of Embassy, Comte de Bastard, and others, passed through the Tartar army during the coulee of the morning, on their way from Tung-chow without encountering any rudeness or ill-treatment whatsoever. At about a quarter to 10, however, a French Commissariat officer was assaulted by some Tartar soldiers under circumstances which are not xery c'early ascer tained, and this incident gave rise to an engag rnent, which soon became general. On the whole, I come to the conclusion that in the proceedings of the Chinese Plenipotentiaries and Commands-in-Chief in this instance, there was that mixture of stupidity, want of straightforwardness, suspicion, and bluster which charac terises so generally the conduct of affairs in this country, but I cannot believe that after the experience which Sang-ko lin-sin heel already had of our superiority in the field, either he or his civil colleagues could have intended to bring on a conflict in which, as the event has proved, he was so sure to be worsted. At the same time, the facts that he covered, by his guns and with a portion of his troops the grou n d assigned to us, and that a French officer, returning from Tung-chow with the knowledge and consent of the Chinese Plenipotentiaries, was assaulted and killed on his lines, entirely justify both the charge of bad faith which has been brought against the Chinese authorities for their conduct in this instance, and the proceedings of the Allied Com manders-in-Chief which have ensued therefrom. I have, &c., ELGIN and KINCARDINE. The Lord John Russell, &c. Enclosure 1. Ho-se-wu, Sept. 19, 1860, 3.30 A.M. _ _ My dear General,—l received your letter at midnight. The bad faith of the Chinese releases us, in my opinion, from any obligation to restrict our advance, and leaves us free to move forward if we deem it expedient to do so. I think, moreover, that the safety of Mr. Parkes, and of those who aro with him, will be best consulted by a for ward movement on your part, but you may probably have received information ere this reaches you, which will enable you to arrive at a sounder judgment than I can on that point. As far as I am concerned, therefore, you are perfectly free to go. Indeed, I shall be glad to hear that you have done so. If there be no troops at Tung-thaw, it would be a pity to drive the respectable inhabitants out of the place; you might probably send a message to say, that in consequence of the bad faith of the Chinese authorities you had resolved to advance, but that if not resisted you will treat it as you treated Tientsing. Dew is pretty confident that he can carry on his boats to Tung-thaw. At any rate up to this point there is no difficulty whatsoever. I have, &c., . , (Signed) ELGIN and KINCARDINE.

SINGULAR CHARGE OF ROBBERY WITH VIOLENCE.— Maria Reed, of 12, University-street, Tottenham-court road, a respectably-attired female, was charged with a robbery with violence in Oxford-street on the 22d inst Mrs. Caroline Whiffer, of 1, Milton-place, Dorset-square, said that at 12 on the night of the 22d the prisoner came behind her in Oxford-street, struck her with an umbrella, seized her by the throat, tore her boa, and then snatched away her brooch, without saying a word to her. The prisoner then jumped into a cab, and as soon as she had gone she missed her brooch, which was quite safe twenty minutes before. A constable said the brooch had not been found. Mr. Mansfield said it seemed to be done more from some feeling of malice than with a felonious intention. The prosecutrix said all she knew of the prisoner was that 20 years ago she lived in the same house with her, since which time she had not seen her. Prisoner said she had known the prosecutrix for many years, and she had carried on an intrigue with the gentle man who ought to have been her husband. (Laughter.) The reason why she got into a cab was to avoid the prose cutrix's violence. The constable said the prisoner, when he took her into custody, had been drinking. Prisoner—Oh, don't say that. I never drink. Mr. Mansfield said it could not be permitted that the public peace should be broken, and he should bind the pri soner over to keep the peace in £2O for six months. WBOT-END BBGGING.—A little girl, named Elizabeth Ward, whose head was only just visible above the dock, was charged by Leach, a constable of the C division, with begging. The constable stated that he saw the child lying in a doorway, at 12 the previous night, shivering with cold. He asked her why she did not go home, and she said that, having been at the Marlborough-street Police-court all the day on the charge of begging, she had got no money, and so was afraid to go home. He therefore, with the view of protection, took her to the station-house, where 4d. was found on her, which had been given to her by passers by. Mr. Mansfield said the effect of persons giving money to children in the streets was to encourage cruelty towards them when they did not take money home. He should remand her for a few days. Eliza Mahoney, an aged beggar, who had been charged at the different police•-courts in the metropolis about 90 times, was again charged with begging. A constable proved seeing her begging of gentlemen, being drunk at the time. A mendicity officer said she had been oharged times out of number, Prisoner—You are an old liar. I've only been to Bow• street and this court. Committed for seven days. THAMES. BRUTAL ASSAULT UPON A. POLICE CONSTABLE.—JaMeII Gavine, mate of a ship, was brought before Mr. Sells, charged with violently assaulting a police constable named Josiah Gunton and police constable No. 104 H. Gunton said that last night the prisoner was very drunk and very disorderly in High-street, Wapping, and assaulted several persons, some of whom were thrown into the middle of the street. He told the prisoner to go home or get to his ship, on which the prisoner made use of foul l anguage an d s t ru ck him on the chest with his fist. He seized the pri soner, who struggled violently and kicked him on the leg. He called for assistance and th e p r i soner was secured. The prisoner, in defence, said he was very sorry. Re came on shore last night and got drunk, and hardly knew what he did or where he was. Mr. Selfe—This is not to be endured. Drunken sailors come on shore and run a muck, and assault every one they meet with, and th en ki ck the policemen. You are the mate of a ship ? The prisoner—Yes, sir ; I am, indeed. Mr. Selfe—That makes the matter worse. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. You are fined 40s. The penalty was paid. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. DUNDEE.--Mr. Cookson, the nominator of Dundee for the Derby, is reported to be seriously ill. He is also tha nominator of Kettledrum, Vancouver, and Pagoda. This event will, no doubt, give rise to other speonlations than those already hazarded on the two favourites. We trust, however, that the reports of his illness are exaggerated, and that the Turf may yet long enjoy the presence and patron age of so thorough and genuine a sportsman, and that the Derby of 1861 may not be deprived of its chief feature of interest. CROYDON STEEPLECHASES.—LOttery was struck out of the Croydon Stakes and Metropolitan Steeplechase at 10 a.m., Nov. 26 ; and Kibworth Lass put of the Croydon Stakes, at 12.30 on the same day.
