By F. B. COURTENAY, M.R.C.S.E., And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the Cure of Strictures of the Urethra. " This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic ntanac‘ement an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec.

Sir,—A letter from " X." in your impression of this day has caused me some little surprise. He seems horrified at the intelligence that some of the funds intended for Garibaldi's assistance have fallen into the hands of Mazzini. He seems to deem it a shocking thing to help Mazzini, but a virtuous action to supply Garibaldi. To me the public mo rality of the one seems to differ little from that of the other. Of their private character I know nothing. Their public acts have this difference— the one has been unfortunate, the other successful. But the public morality evinced by each of them is much on a par. It is, no doubt, a matter for re joicing that the people of the Two Sicilies should have been freed from a galling tyranny (if such they really suffered), but yet Garibaldi's conduct in freeing them does not seem the less immoral. Grant that he is a brave, and honest, and generous man. He then is worthy of admiration for these virtues, and perhaps for other good qualities also. But yet his public acts, I think, are not the less reprehensible. If a subject were to raise a rebellion against his law ful Sovereign, would you, sir, defend his conduct or argue that the doom of death were not his due ? He might be rising against his King's oppressive rule ; but still you would not applaud the rebel acts. And if a man killed the despot who tyrannised over his country, would you not brand the regicide as a murderer, even while you congratulated the nation on being freed from tyranny ? But is it not a hundredfold worse for a man of another nation (be he Savoyard or Frenchman) to raise a rebellion in a friendly State and shoot down the soldiers who observe their oath and defend their lawful Sove reign ? If Napoleon were to publish a pamphlet to com miserate the Irish on the score that they are oppressed and that their religion is not respected, and were then to invade and conquer that country (which he would call "freeing an oppressed nationality") without having made any previous declaration of war, would you not condemn him in the most powerful of philippics ? But would it not be far worse for a private individual— M‘Mahon for instance—to raise a rebellion in Ireland while France remained at peace with us? And if France supplied him with money, arms and ammunition, would you not lavish the most oppro brious epithets both upon the marauder and on the perfidious country which gave him countenance and assistance ? Let us not excuse ourselves on the ground that Naples was oppressed while.lreland is free. This is merely a veil to blind our moral sense. We have read in the newspapers that Naples was oppressed. That is all we know about it. IVPIVIahon might have read in a certain pamphlet that Ireland is oppressed and that the exercise of the religion of the Irish is restricted, and he may entertain an opinion that such is really the case. How would the objection then apply ? But even if we were to grant the substance of this objection ; yet if a man who did not suffer from the oppression which we allow to have existed—who was not connected with the country which he invaded, and whose Sovereign and people were at peace with the State which he overturned—l say that the act of such a man is no better than the act of a Filibuster, murderer, and cutthroat adventurer. By these terms he would have been designated, and people would have welcomed for him the fate which was adjudged to Walker for the same offence, had not success palliated his trespass and gilded his crime. I remain, Sir, your obedient servant, ROBERT MONTAGU, M.P. 72, Inverness-terrace, Nov. 21. The name of Garibaldi has been heard far and wide through these islands. With small resources in men and money he has accomplished a great enterprise, and, although motives of policy have forbidden our Government to assist him, private liberality could not be prevented from supplying the deficiency. But just in proportion as the name of Garibaldi is popular in these islands the name of Mazzini is odious. The cause 'and the man are alike hateful tuEnglishmen. There is no country in the world which has less taste for the Red Re public than England, and there is no character in the world less calculated to win our approbation than that of a conspirator who is for ever plotting in public, and sending forth braver men than him self to destruction, in order to keep before Europe the memory of a worthless cause. Money, however, has been collected ostensibly for the use of Garibaldi and the unity of Italy, which has been applied for the purposes of Mazzini and the Red Republic. It is a very commonplace case of misappropriation, and that is all that we should have thought it necessary to say about it. Far different, however, is the impression which this transaction makes upon the mind of Lord Robert Montagu. In a letter which will be found in another column Lord Robert Montagu endeavours to show that this misappropriation is entirely innocent. Weighed in the scale of public morality, our correspondent can find nothing to reprehend in the application of money to one purpose which was subscribed for another. There is no harm in applying money subscribed for Garibaldi to the purposes of Mazzini, because Garibaldi is, in Lord Montagu's opinion, not a whit better than Mazzini. In other words, I am at liberty to deprive A of his property and give it to B, if I can persuade myself that B would not be likely to make a worse use of it than A. This is Lord R. Montagu's idei of public morality. Fraud is not fraudulent and deceit is not deceitful unless you happen to think the person defrauded and deceived better than the person who pro fits by the defraud and deceit. Lord Robert Mon tagu doubts whether the people of Naples have really suffered under a galling tyranny; out Gari baldi's conduct in freeing them from that tyranny is, he thinks, nevertheless immoral. It is a good thing, but it ought never to have been done. If he had been a subject who had rebelled against his lawful sovereign, Lord Robert assumes, as too evi dent for contradiction, that his conduct could not be defended, and that death was his proper punish ment, however oppressive his sovereign might be. This being assumed, Lord Robert infers that it must be a hundred times worse for a man of another nation to levy war against a lawful sove reign. If the Emperor Napoleon were to invade Ireland, the English press would condemn him. If Marshal M‘Mahon were to attack Ireland, with the countenanc e and assistance of France, it would be still more wicked. From which things it follows that Garibaldi is a filibuster, a murderer, and a cutthroat adventurer, and if we had not been misled by his success we should have hailed his punishment with the same satisfaction that has attended the punishment of filibuster Walker. We have stated the substance of this letter be cause it is the last of the kind which we probably shall ever have to print, and involves indeed a most striking anachronism. Here is a young nobleman, and a membeermopfPsis of a newarliament di b s o c o o t v , e a ry nn t o h u e ne d i o n c g_ doc trine that with h e all tthe ha was known 200 years ago under the compendious name of "the divine right of kings." Just after Russia has disowned a peremptory and principle of legitimacy, we are called upon a p n e pedantic a 113 discarded c years adherence after in t thatthis to s the h principl e h as b een practi cally country, e to admit it as self-evident and assume it as the basis of our reasonings. Whence does Lord Robt. Montagu derive the anumptima that it is immoral in a subject to rebel against a tyranny, however oppressive, provided it is clothed with that degree of prescription and stability of possession which constitutes what is ordinarily called a lawful Govern ment ? We had thought that Locke, Blackstone, and Bentham had effectually established that a King differs from other magistrates in degree, but not in kind—in the largeness of his power and the comprehensiveness of his jurisdiction, but not in any peculiar sanctity and i nv iolability attaching to his office, To maintain the contrary would be . to stimulate the ambiti on o f every t y ran t by holding out to him beforehand the promise of impunity. In what cases, then, is rebellion justified? To justify rebellion two things ought to combine—a good cause and a reasonable probability of success. The evil of leaving things as they are should be greater than the evil of altering them by violent means. This will not be the case unless the Government be op pressive to a very high degree ; and, let the Govern ment be ever so oppressive, rebellion cannot be jus tified unless there be such a prospect of success as renders it likely that the result will not be to strengthen the tyrant by an unsuccessful movement. Let us apply this rule to Lord Robert Montagu's three cases. We approve the rebellion of the Nea politans because we believe the Government of the King to have been in the highest degree oppressive, and because the event has shown that there was a reasonable prospect of success. We disapprove the enterprises of Mazzini because, though there was the same oppression to justify them, there was not the same probability of success. The supposed en terprise of Marshal M'Mahon on Ireland having no oppression to justify it, and we should say as little probability of success, would therefore appear to us not only imprudent but criminal. As for the punish ment of death, he who heads a rebellion sets his life on the cast, but whether he deserves death or not must depend on the degree in which that rebellion was justified. Had Garibaldi failed signally, instead of succeeding gloriously, we feel convinced that in his misfortune as in his prosperity he would have received the sympathy of every true-hearted Englishman. It is not our habit in this country to be prostrate worshippers of success; and we disclaim, as a libel on the press and people of this country the imputation that the favour of fortune makes all the difference between a murderer and a hero. We have read with regret such a letter from an 'English member of Parliament, but we have inflicted on its author the most severe punishment in our power by giving publicity in our columns to his name and to his opinions. THE OVERLAND MAIL. By the arrival of the Calcutta mail we (Times) have received advices from Calcutta to the 22d of October, and from Hong Bong to the 13th. INDIA. The following is the letter of our Calcutta corre. spondent: -- " CALCUTTA, OCT. 22. " It is pleasing to turn from the grievances of the ndigo planters, upon which I have so lately ad dressed you, to notice the recommendations of the committee for the revision of the tariff. Formerly piece goods were taxed according to their length and breadth. The consequence was that light and inferior pieces paid as much as tho heavy and more expensive, and the duty thus became a far greater tax on the poor than on the rich. Now it is chiefly by the importation of goods calculated for the use of the millions of India that the trade of the country is to be increased; it is therefore sound policy to lighten as much as possible the duties which press most heavily on that class. The committee have therefore recommended that duties should be calcu lated according to the weight of each piece, at a uniform rate of 131 d. per lb. In this way the lighter sorts adapted to and used by the lower classes will pay far less in the way of duty than the more ex pensive sorts, of which the rich are the principal buyers. They have also recommended what is here termed to Gladstonise' the tariff—that is, that duties on all articles which produce less than 500 rupees a year should be swept away altogether. Another suggestion is the return to the 5 per cent. ad valorem, duties, which were in force up to April, 1858, and were then immensely increased. But in the present state of the finances it does not seem probable that this idea can be practically enforced. "The retdrns regarding the income tax are most satisfactory. The Government has wisely an nounced its determination not to enforce an in quisitorial inspection of the affairs of individuals, and the merchants and bankers throughout the country have responded to this cull by send ing in returns of their own, in which their income is very fairly noted. In such a vast extent of country some mistakes must occur, but these have been fewer and of less importance than the most sanguine advocate of the income tax could have believed possible. In a word, it is a success—a success, too, which is another demonstration of the wisdom of a bold and manly polity. " The Governor-General will proceed next month to Benares ; thence he will make flying tours to Nagporo, Gwalior, and Hydrabad, and from Cen tral India will probably proceed ♦ia Bombay to England some time next February. " I must not fail to notice an order which Sir H. Rose has lately issued, and which, like all his orders, goes far to remedy a great existing evil. With a view to render general means of instruction, recrea tion, and employment for the soldiers of the army, he has taken steps for the formation of workshops, gymnasia, gardens, reading and coffee rooms, skittle and ball alleys, and singlestick alleys. Committees have been directed to report fully upon the means available at each station of the army for the effectual carrying out of this plan. The announcement of it has been received with enthusiasm everywhere, and there can be no doubt but that it is the dead liest blow that has ever been struck in India against the soldier's deadliest enemy, ennui. Sir H. Rose is thus practically carrying into effect those reforms of which he was originally believed to be the harbinger. He is the most popular Comman der-in-Chief, and at the same time the sternest dis ciplinarian, we have had for a long time. "Some curious traits regarding a portion of the population of the Hazara district, in the Pun jab, have lately come to light. Col. Nicholson was the pacificator of that district. He changed the character of its tribes from being the most dis orderly into the most orderly people on the frontier. Such was the influence of his character that the people began to regard him as something more than human, and in spite of floggings and per secution, they persisted in worshipping him as the Goorco Nikkul Segn. After the heroic death of Nicholson before Delhi their conduct was most peculiar. The head of the tribe killed himself ; the second followed his example; the third started off to Peshawur to learn from the missionaries of Nicholson's God. The whole story may be relied upon as being correct. The third man and another of the tribe are now Christian teachers in native schools, and it is expected that others will follow their example. THE WAR IN CHINA. (From the Overland China Mail of Oct. 13.) The London Mail of the 27th of August arrived here on the 9th inst. • The news which we have to convey by this mail is of very great importance. Hostilities have been resumed in the north. Mr. Harry Parkes; Mr. Bowlby, the Times Correspondent ; Mr. Loch, Lord Elgin's private secretary ; Mr. de Norman, attache to Mr. Bruce ; Capt. Brabazon, Deputy-Assistant- Quartermaster• General, and Capt. Anderson, of Fane's Horse, have been taken prisoners. Two engagements or skirmishes have been fought with the Tartar cavalry, who surrounded our force, but had to retire with great loss. The allied army is waiting in a hostile attitude within sight of the walls of Pekin ; and negotiations have again been opened up by the Chinese. In our last Overland we mentioned that negotia tions had been broken off at Tientsin, and that th© Ist division of the force was marching upon Pekin, The Imperial Commissioners are puzzled by the demands for a permanent residency at Pekin, and for an immediate and large instalment of indem nity money, Their counter-demand for delay was met by the advance of Lord Elgin with a great portion of the allied force. Soon the towns upon the march were found to be in a great part de serted, and supplies had to be taken by force. One large town, Ho-si-wu, was completely looted by the force, and it became evident that there must be another appeal to arms. On the morning of the 18th of September Mr. Parkes and his party fell into the hands of the Chinese, and it was found that the army was surrounded by Tartar troops at the village of Ho-ko-chuang. An engagement immedi ately took place, which caused the Tartars to retire with some loss. A second engagement took place on the 21st of September, when about 25 of our force and several hundreds of the enemy were placed hors de combat. The next day a flag of truce was sent in from Pekin, and proposals were made to re-open negotiations. On the following day sup plies were sent in by the Chinese for the use of the allied army, which saved Tung-chau from being looted. The latest news we have is by verbal com munication with a French steamer, which entered the Yang-tse as the mail from Shanghai was leaving. It brought intelligence from the seat of war up to the 27th or 28th of September, when the allied army was still in its position, seven or eight miles from Pekin, and two or three from Tung-chau. The statement was confirmed that the prisoners were well treated. The rebels still continue to absent themselves from the immediate neighbourhood of Shanghai. Their object in coming to that place was to be at a port where they could be in contact with foreigners and obtain foreign ammunition and arms. Having been driven from Shanghai, it is likely they will try to effect their objeet by advancing on one or the other ports where foreigners reside. In the south of China there is nothing stirring, and, but for the news from the north, Hong Kong would have been quite doll during the past fort night. The following letters, which we have received from the neighbourhood of Pekin, give full accounts of the progress of the allied army:— " PUSI-TSA, SEPT. 22. " The first detachment of troops, consisting prin cipally of cavalry, left Tien-tsin on the Bth •f September, and about 1,000 men followed the next day. The cavalry had halted only a few miles oat of Tien-tsin, and were soon overtaken on the 9th. The column halted about noon at a town called Pu k'au, which was about half deserted by its in habitants. A market was soon established, princi pally by people who had followed us from Tien-tsin. Supplies were brought in, and everything was as comfortable as could be desired. " On the 10th we reached a large town called Yang-tsun, where supplies were also easily obtained —4OO sheep having been bought. Heavy rain fell on the afternoon, and the force was unable to march on the 11th from the muddy state of the road. " On the 12th the march was resumed, and a place called Nan-tsai-tsun was reached, and on the 13th we arrived at Ho-si-wu, the largest town, except ing Yang-tsun, we had seen on the march. At this place the opposition of the Chinese commenced, pas sively as usual. The town was found more deserted than any of the others, and although supplies were promised none were forthcoming. The troops there fore took what they could get in the place, which was finally completely plundered. We stayed here three days. " Each day's march on the way up discovered to us a more beautiful country than that which we had passed through on the preceding. As at Tien tsin and the neighbourhood, not a barren spot could be discovered ; but the flatness of Nan-tsin was re lieved by the trees and the hills which could be plainly seen in the morning. a Mr. Parkes and Colonel Walker usually rode on a-head with a small escort of cavalry to choose the encamping ground, and report on the state of the roads. At Ho-si-wu, General Mitchell, with the 60th Rifles, the 2d Queen's, the 15th Punjabs, and some Artillery joined us, and the French also came up. Mr. Parkes rode on to Ma. tou and Tung-chau, and made the usual arrangements fur our encamp ment. He reported that Chinese troops were sta tioned at Tung-chau. " We leftHo-si-wu on the I7th, and after a very dusty march arrived at Matou. Mr. Parkes rode on and passed the night at Tung-chau. Colonel Walker and a Commissariat officer ac companied him to a village within a short dis tance of Tung-chau. Mr. Parkes rode back to this village on the morning of the 18th, and seeing that a large number of Chinese troops had taken up a strong position on each side of the road through which we were to pass, he rode back to Tung-chau, accompanied by Mr. Loch, Mr. de Nor man, Mr. Boulby, the Times' correspondent ; Capt Brabazon, of the artillery, another gentleman whose name I have forgotten, and Capt. Anderson, with 20 Sikh cavalry, to ask an application of the appearance of such a large force. " In the meantime the army (which had left Ma-tou early in the morning), had advanced to within a mile of Ho-ko-chwang, where the Chinese troops were assembled. Our attention was first attracted by a trench which had been dug across the road at a village about four miles from Ma-tou. A passage was made acroes, and our troops passed on leaving the French at the village. About a mile from Ho-ko-chuang our troops halted, and a Chi nese officer came out with a message to the effect that we might encamp where we were. He was told that we wanted to encamp on the other side of the village, as previously arranged by Mr. Parkes, where the river was—but he held to his request that we should encamp where we were, and offered to supply us with water. This offer was declined, but for the time we made no movement in advance, as the safety of our party within their lines gave the General considerable anxiety. This party, con sisting of Col. Walker, Mr. A. C. G. Thompson, and five or six Dragoons, were waiting in return of Mr. Parkes 'and his party from Tung-chau, when their attention was directed to a struggle between a Frenchman and some of the Chinese troops. The cause of the disturbance is not known, but it is thought the Chinese wanted some pretext for beginning the day's work. Col. Walker rode up to the rescue of the Frenchman, but ho was sur rounded, deprived of his sword, and almost dragged from his horse. As the place was full of troops no thing was left for him and Mr. Thompson to do but to run the gauntlet. They escaped from the village and got within our lines under a heavy fire from the Chinese. Mr. Thompson was wounded in the back by a spear thrust and one of the dragoons was shot in the leg. The general lost no time in advancing the troops, and in about an hour the Chinese were cleared out of the village by the artil lery and cavalry. The French drove them out of the encampment on our right and protected the village in the rear, where all our baggage was. The position of the Chinese was well chosen, shel tering their camp, extended across our front and out on our left and right in the fo r m of a semicircle and had we encamped where they wanted us, we should have no doubt been severely cut up in the night. " After driving the Chinese from their position, we entered a small walled town, called Chang-chm• wan, where we remained the 19th and 20th. The place was looted. " On the 21st the allied army moved on in the direction of the canal between Tung-chau and Pe kin. I have no time to give you a detailed descrip tion of this day's work. The French advanced to wards the stone bridge called Pa - li - chian, a mil e and a half west of Tung-chau, and the English upon the wooden bridge Pu-si-tsa, a little to the west of the stone bridge. The Chinese were assembled in force in front of these bridges, and the ight soon commenced. After about two hours' firing we had "SEVEN MILES FROM PEKIN, SEPT. 22. "An attempt has been made at negotiation, which has ended in the smoke of more gunpowder, the partial deception of Lord Elgin and Mr. Parkes, and, I grieve to say, the capture of the latter by the Tartars, with the Times correspondent, Mr. Loch, Lord Elgin's private secretary, Mr. de Nor man, Attache, Captain Brabazon, of the Artillery, and the Adjutant of Fane's Horse, with some 20 Sowars,' and the murder of a French officer. But I must, as well as my memory will enable me, take up my narrative where I dropped it on the 26th ultimo. The whole of our force were then encamped at or near the Taku Forts ; now they are scattered over a space of some 80 miles, to say nothing of the 44th Regiment, who were packed off in a hurry, on the 27th or 28th, to relieve Shanghai, where it ap pears they were not wanted, the Royal Marines having ' settled the hash' of the rebels before their arrival. It was not until the Ist inst., I think (un fortunately I have lost the few notes I kept), that the first move was made towards the North. This consisted in the advance of our Ist Division, which crossed the Peiho over a bridge of boats, about two miles above Tongku, and were followed on the 2d by the 2d Division (with the exception of a wing of the Buffs who were left to garri son the Taku Forts), the French marching along the left bank of the river. The first halting place was about half a mile from the bridge of boats, on a plain nearly encircled by orchards full of grapes, peaches, apples, pears, and water melons. The second march was to a place called Kikko, the third to Kih-tang-kou, and the fourth brought the whole army to Tien-tsin, the marches consequently ave raging about eight miles each. Btvt although they were so short, and the start was generally made before daybreak each morning, still they were much more fatiguing than any one would imagine, as they were never finished in less than four hours, during the last two of which the heat was always very great, and to men carrying heavy packs as well as their rifles and ammunition very trying. At Tien-tsin the army halted for nearly a week on a magnificent plain immediately outside the town, living in clover in more senses than one, while the French occupied a position on the left bank of the river, and an attempt was made at negotiation, which, as I have already said, has ended in smoke, the Chinese Commissioner sent down to treat with us having declared himself afraid to sign any con vention on his own responsibility, and almost hinting, I believe, that our best plan would be to advance upon Pekin, and so frighten the Emperor into submission by a warlike demonstration at his very door. " On the 9th inst. accordingly a force consisting of the King's Dragoon Guards, Fane's and Pro byn's Horse, Baring's, Desborough's, and Stirling's Batteries, the Royal Marines, and 90th Regiment, the whole under the command of General Michell, marched past Tien-tsin to a place called Pwkoo, 10 miles distant. On the following day they marched to Yang-tsin, eight miles further; the next day to Nan-tsin, eight miles further ; and the next to Hoo-si-woo, when they halted for five days again, until the 2d Queen's and 60th Rifles and some 2,000 French came up. Almost the whole of the road for these last four marches was through endless fields of millet, extending as far as the eye could reach, and the camping ground at the end of each of them was nearly as comfortable as a bed of thorns, being upon half-cut beds of millet, the spikes of which were nearly as sharp and strong as those surrounding the Taku Forts, and had, I verily believe, been left so by the Tartars, in the hope that they would effectually prevent our advance, without any further aid from their prow ess. So far not one of them had shown his face within range since the dressing they got at Taku. At Hoo-si-woo, accordingly, Mr. Parkes was em boldened to ride forward to Mut-ow, about 10 miles further on, attended by a cavalry escort and the gentlemen I have already mentioned, in order, I believe, to propose to the inhabitants that if they would send us out supplies of fuel, flour, Sze., we would not molest them, but encamp outside, as we had previously done in the case of every village or town we had passed. As far as I can make out from the various reports I hear, they first of all told him they would consent to furnish us with supplies, if we would agree to their selecting the camping ground for us, but on his replying that the General could not agree to any such condition, they immediately made him and all his companions prisoners, with the exception of a few King's Dra goon Guards, who succeeded in cutting their way out. Colonel Walker, of the Bays, and Mr. Thomp son, of the Commissariat, who had ridden out in the same direction, were also very nearly taken prisoners, a French officer who accompanied them being cut to pieces —Colonel Walker only escaping with the loss of his sword, and a cut over the hand, and Mr. Thompson with a lance wound in his back. The Cavalry, Artillery, 21 Queen's, Royal Marines, and 90th Regiment were immediately ordered out by Sir Hope Grant, and about midway between Hoo•si-woo, our friends of Singho celebrity, and whom we had heard had never draw n rein after that affair until they reached Pekin, again came in sight, extending in a wide semicircle before Mut-ow as far as the eye could reach. The Queen's, who were in advance, were immediately ordered to halt, until the rest of the regiments came up, and a line of battle was formed, the French taking the right, the Queen's the centre, Royal Marines and 99th the left, and Artillery and Cavalry the flanks. They had not advanced far in this order before the fire was Opened on them from some dozen points in the aforesaid semicircle, while the Tartar Cavalry threatened our flanks. They were promptly m e t , however, by ours, but the Irregular Horse who were on the right flank, the King's Dragoon Guards being on the left, alone succeeded in getting amo ng them, with the to-be expected result of thawing them up' completely of course, Our Artil lery, meanwhile, thundered dreadful responses to theirs, and with very unequal effect--theirs doing little or no damage, ours telling with deadly effect, and finally completely silencing all their batteries, which were planted in all sorts of extraordinary positions, and were evidently of quite an impronzphi construction, some at the entrances to villages, others among clumps of trees, and others behind natural embankments. The infantry then ad vanced, and threw in a smart fire on them as they retreated, our nimble and gallant allies even get ting among them with the bayonet, I believe, and killing great numbers. The enemy fled in eve r y direction, and did not even attempt to defend Mut-ow itself, which was accordingly entere d and taken possession of the same evening , and p roved to be a very comfortable and picturesque little town, with a tumble-down old brick wall of great day of rest, an d yester day height, and once doubtless orA ;Teat st rengt h .

Guards getting well among them, an, well as our more advanced parties of infantry — a l: from the nature of the ground (endless fields of cut millet, intersected by wide ditches, and separated here' and closer there by dense thickets), and their knowledge of how to avail themselves of it, it was very difficult to get near them at all. If we had had infantkt alone, I believe they actually might have had the audacity to close with us (as they were evidently' plucky enough men) but, as it was, they showed. themselves, on both days, impressed with a very salutary dread of our artillery and cavalry, 'and although they made several apparent charges at our cavalry, I believe they were almost all feints to drawn them into some trap or other (such as a concealect ditch or rough piece of ground), while entangled in which they might have an opportunity to fire their gingalls at them from under the cover of some walls or copse of trees. However, the result of the two days fighting has been that we have cap tured upwards of 100 cannon, most of the m 9. pounder brass guns of very good description, im mense stores of forage, grain, and tea, and have got to within seven miles of Pekin, and have, I should think, thoroughly demoralised the Tartar army, by capturing and entirely destroying all their camps and munitions of war, so far. (They say that Sankolinsin commanded in person on both days, and that he had 10 Mongolian princes, each 1 with 5,000 men under him.) We have now taken. 1 up a position on the right bank Of the Gr an d Canal, only seven miles from the Celestial capital, but are again encamping among fields of spikes, of which our worthy and gallant General seems to think we are fend, as he never lets us among the trees. There, like so many impaled martyrs, we are to await, I believe, the arrival of some more troops and stores. A ' shave' has just come into me that the Emperor has bolted from Pekin, and that Sankolinsin has sent in another flag of truce, but I have not time to find out how far it is true. Great sympathy is felt for Mr. Parkes and his party, and I have heard a report, which I earnestly hope is true, that Lord Elgin has declared he will order Pekin to be sacked if he is not given up again with all his party alive and in good condi tion. Such is certainly not mere than Mr. Parkes deserves, for he has undoubtedly proved himself throughout the whole of this campaign —as, indeed, throughout the whole of his long service in China —one of the most energetic and zealous servants his Country has ever had. If it is true that the Emperor has led, and that Sankolinsin is now in undivided power at Pekin, I believe, however, that not only will Mr. Parkes be given up again all right, but that a satisfactory treaty will soon be made, as Sankolinsin's policy through out, I suspest, has not been so much to repel us as merely to get a name for himself by opposing us with apparent determination, while he was in reality merely forcing us to advanbe until his chicken-hearted cousin (as I believe the Emperor is) should get sufficiently frightened to fly into Tartary, that then he might assume the reigns of Government, and, by taking that course which his more enlightened mind must have pointed out to him long ere this is the best for his country, secure for himself that place in it to which he has all along been aspiring. " TIEN-TSIN, SEPT. 26. " You will doubtless obtain all the news from other sources; however, I send you the latest re ceived this morning from the front. _ " It appears that Messrs. Loch, Bowlby, and Captain Brabazon are all safe and well treated at Pekin, with Mr. Consul Parkes. The army is within five miles of Pekin, after an engagement on Saturday, in which the enemy is said to have kept at a respectful distance from our artillery, but the French got at them, and treaty them very roughly, killing, it is said, 400 or 500 men. We had one officer and a few men wounded. The Emperor's brother and another Mandarin of the highest fea ther came out to camp, but Lord Elgin would not see them until Mr. Parkes and the other prisoners were given up. Tung chau was given up to pillage, and the usual atrocities of the Tartars were com mitted by themselves on their women, whom they deprived of life, and on their children, whom they threw into wells. The latter was past doubt, as the bodies were seen when the place was entered." COMMERCIAL SUMMARY. HONGKONG, OCT. 13. We received the 26th of August mail on the 9th inst., it having been brought up by the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer China, the second new boat on the sta tion within two months. SHANGHAI. The news from Shanghai, which comes down to the morning of the sth inst.. is of a highly interesting and im portant nature. It is still too early even to hazard an opinion on the influence recent events will have imme diately- on trade, but the ultimate result is beyond doubt. The country which will be opened to foreign commerce is rich and well peopled, and, what is of more importance, the inhabitants are clothed, and consequently will be far larger consumers than the natives of the middle and southern portions of the empire. Business in general remained almost at a dead stand, the only ottlet being Ningpo, and if, as was currently reported, the rebels should invest and ultimately occupy this port, the business of Shanghai must come to stand, or the na tional parly must be dislodged from some of their vantage ground. It would be difficult, and perhaps unwise to give any quotations for manufactured goods, which would in almost every instance be nominal. We therefore forbear doing so. Tea.—The amount of business in this staple had been extremely small, and that little had bean in tea received from Ningpo. A few chops from Ningchow tea had been brought to market, and 1,500 chests had been shi pp ed ; but, on Teaman's account, 800 chests Hwoehow had been settled at 18 to 23 taels, 500 chests common Congou at 15 taels, and a small parcel of Oolong. Green Tea.—About 7,500 pac k a ges had bean settled, and of Japan about 2,000 packages. The quality of the Chinese tea was in such a state as to forbid classification, and con sequently quotations are nominal. Silk.—Considerable business had been done in silk. True 1 satlees were firm in price, but inferior and Tay assails *ere a shade lower. Tho insurgents do not p ear to interfere with the transit of this articl e , which inaali P robability is allowed to pass on payment of a duty.

Adverse accounts of business generally from home, large stock s , a n d apparent indifference on the part of the te amen had caused the transactions to be limited.

Settlements r eported were as follows :-10,000 chests Congou, dusty to c ommon, 121 to 18 taels ; good common to Savoury, 19 t ° 24,1 i taels; Ningchow, 26i taels; 700 chests Souchong, 33f taels ; 600 chests flowery Pekoe, 35i to 40} tads. FALL OF THE FUNDS.—The cause of the fall in the funds yesterday afternoon consisted in the receipt of mercantile telegrams from Now York eia Halifax, quoting the rate of exchange for bankers' bills on London at 106 f —a decline of 1f per cent. since the previous advises, and which, if it could be supposed to be in anY degree perma nent, would attract large sums of gold from this side. The supposition, however, is that the movement is du e solely to the agitation for disunion having cau sed a great amount of Southern bills to be suddenly thrown on the New York market, for which gold has been taken, thus causing a sharp pressure for money. Th e New York bankers would buy these bills to any amoun t at low terms, but to obtain d the Englandfund funds and the y to b w s o n ul d a i i have t co in the rate. The effect of su ch operations can be but te m p orary, especially and should cause n o uneasiness, as within the to a to considerable their own draughts on erable sacrifice next few weeks there must be numerous remittances from New York to London, not only on account of interest due on investments, but for a large amount of Ohio stock fall ing- due belonging to English capitalists.
