Nr 7,-, n j6il 111 A Ftu K T COMINIERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. AND CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed heavily, and prices of most descriptions tended downwards. The sales were estimated at 6,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken by the speculators. In the Railway Share Market there was less anima tion, and the quotations were unaltered. The only arrival of importance this morning is tile Shaftesbury, from Melbourne, with 8,180 ozs. of gold, worth about 32,7201. Other vessels ars now due, and during the next fortnight a consi derable influx may be expected. The last advices from the colonies reported the departure of the fol lowing ships, viz.:— Date of Sailing. Jan. 12—Anglssey 13—Iststaboul . ~ 19—Albion _„ 30—Co 1 eroon Feb, 6—Roxburgh Castle „ B—Morning Star ... B—Sydenham Total Ounces. 6,811 1,200 8,828 14,921 50,267 4,783 26,669 118,479 Or £473,916 Besides these consignments, 410,0001. is coming forward from the Brazils, and 17,000/. by the Pera, from China. The West India steamer, viz., the Magdalena, is also expected to bring a moderate Supply. It is by this vessel that some remittance i 5 likely to arrive for the Buenos Ayrean Bond holders, not the Medway, as inadvertently stated yesterday. ►bout 130,0001. in gold was taken into the Bank of England yesterday. The return ou Fri day wiN probably show an increase in the bullion. Silver is very dull, but maintains its value, bars being ss. lid. per oz. standard, and dollars ss. per oz. It transpired yesterday afternoon that Sir Geo. Ilodgkinson and Co., shipowners and brokers, had been compelled to call their creditors together. Their liabilities ate about 24,0001., and it is feared ilhat the estate will not yield more than 3s. in the pound. Owing to a rather more active enquiry for dis count accommodation, the terms are now within a fraction of 3 per cent.—the Bank minimum—but in consequence of the large supplies of available capital ample facilities are afforded the commercial community to obtain ail they may require for the legitimate purposes of trade. Business in the manufacturing districts, and also in some branches in the metropolis is increasing, which, of course, has influenced to a slight degree the enquiry for dis count both in Lombard-street and at the Bank of England. It seems to be the general impression that the official quotation will remain at 3 per cent. for some time, but the expectation is no longer entertained of a further reduction. The market for the Funds has continued very firm, and a moderate amount of business has been transacted, notwithstanding the progress of the settlement in foreign stocks and railway shares, Which always diverts attention. Some influence has been created by the arrivals of specie and the general abundance of money. Political affairs also app ea r more satisfactory, and some speculative purchases have been made in consequence. Con sols have been 961 for money, and 961 for the account but they are now 964 and 96i, sellers, respectively, The New 3 per Cents. are 95i ; the Reduced, 951 ; India Debentures Scrip 99 Exchequer Bills, 365. to 395. premium, and India Bonds, 18s. to 21ts. premium. Bank Stock is 220 to 2214, and India ditto 223. Very few transactions have been recorded in the Foreign stock Market, but prices are rather firmer. Turkish 6jper Cents. aro 974 to 98, and the 4 per Cents. nominal. Spanish 3 per Cents. are 43.1 ; 40 . Def,srred, 264 ; Russian 44 per Cents., 1001 ; Sardinian 5 per Cents., 90i 91 ; Mexican 3 per Cents., 19 ; and Peruvian 45 per Cents. 82.

TRIAL OF SIMON BERNARD—(FOURTH DAY). The trial cf Simon Bernard was resumed this morning at ten o'clock. Eliza Rudio recalled and examined by Mr. Hawking. —After she was married, her husband worked at an enve'ope-maker's in Southwark. When he left it he had nothing to do, and she went to her grandmother's at Nottingham. Her husband came there to her. He lived five months in Rupert-street during the time she was at Nottingham. She did not know how he main• tamed himself, but he always said he was doing better than her. On inquiries, he said he gained his living as well as ho could. She knew he was not getting it by envelope-making. At the end of the five months he came to Nottingham. He came from Bellinio, and was 22 or 23 years of age. She knew nothing of his history before she married him. He lived with her at her grand mother's, at Nottingham, about two months. He did no work there then. He brought 51. with him, which he said a gentleman gave him in London. She did not know who the gentleman was, or what was his occupa tion. She made no inquiry, but was very glad he had got it. Afterwards they went into lodgings in Notting ham. He bad no occupation, but she worked at the lace business He used to help her in the lace trade. Witness stated their various residences in Nottingham. For the last six months he was there her husband commenced as a teacher of languages. He could get no pupils, and he went to London and took lodgings in Brook's-market. She joined him in Bateman's-buildings about three weeks before last Christmas. He had then nothing to do. He had many foreigners amongst his acquaintances. Money was given to her husband before Christmas by many friends. Mr. Taylor, of Nottingham, gave him some. She did not know if her husband ever received money from a charitable society. He received money also from a Countess and banker. She never saw Orsini or Pierri, and did not know if her husband was acquainted with them. Her husband used to go out in the morning and return at night, when he was in London. She did not know where he wont. Other persons lodged in the house in Bateman's-buildings. There were different bell for the different ledgers. The bell was rang once far the persons on the second floor, and twice for those on the third floor. She first saw Dr. Bernard about a fortnight after Christmas. She told him they were in great distress, and he then gave her two shillings. He asked her if her husband had any work and she told him he had not. Her husband wrote to ler once from Paris. She was certain Dr. Barnard gave her 10s. either the same week or the next after he gave her the two shillings. She understood a little Italian. She might understand a conversation in Italian but not in French. When she returned to London with Mr. Smith she was taken by him to the Bedford Hotel and there lodged. She never went back to Beteman's buildings. She was staying at the Bedford Hotel now. Smith had taken her to Paris. All her expenses were defrayed by the police, who also provided her with clothes and pocket money. When at the Bedferd Hotel she was not visited daily by the police. Smith came to see her about twice a week. She could not recollect if Rogers came with or without Smith. Mr. Williamson, a pal ceman, came there. (Rogers was called into court.) On looking at him she believed he did call with Saunders. Four detectives came on one occasion and remained about as hour. They came separately to her room. It was on the first Saturday she was there. All of them except Smith called again on the Sunday morning ; all came again on the Monday, and she believed they came every t TSNHt d wi a ahmao. y uesrenp. f hmdat o oeh r pHotreeetsrerh t l esr h eai nrew: afterwards now, The Paris wisr w ds aos, e dsr e ducp k sca . hecpedaen, They rnetsyoe svtwhboe veedr rte o neahfts t a r e: l pta y l IBezyvt trreeihsdte, defrayed oh , f n anoß a ttrhhed i n n edear e Hfmo d e troexod Hotel.

She saw her husband in prison. All her expenses there and back were paid by th e po li ce. She returned to the Bedford Hotel, where she had been stay ing ever since. She was not ex am i ne d i n P aris; she was only taken there to see her hus band. She did not remember that any questions were put to her iu prison. She saw her husband twice on that occasion— the Friday and Saturday. She was not allowed to have a private interview wii,h her hus band. Saunders and some of the French police were present on each occasion. She went to Paris again with Saunders, and remainedithere nearly a week, returning last (Wednesday) night week. She saw her husband again twice—once on Saturday, and a second time two or three days before she left. She was not allowed to have a pri vate interview with her husband. She was not examined there. He had asked permission to see her. Before her second visit she knew her husband's life had been spared. Her only object in going to Paris a second time was merely to see her husband. She was not driven about Paris by the police. She remained at her hotel with her baby. She had seen the police at the Bedford since her return, but they had not been into her room. She had had no money from the police during the past week Re-examined by the Attorney-General—She believed she was taken to Paris for the first time to identify her husband. She was very anxious to see as much of him as the authorities would permit. She petitioned the Empress to save his life, and the following week she heard it was spared. She had no communication with the pollee till after the 14th of January. Miss Cheney only went with her the first time. She never received more than one letter from her husband after her depar ture. Mrs. Fay read the letter to her. She did not know what had become of it or the envellope. She did not notice the post mark nor the oelour of the ' stamps. Mr. William Brnford, assistant to Mr. Brown, pawn broker, Ryder'e-court, Leicester-square, deposed that on the Bth of January a coat and waistcoat were taken out nar ad o a f tu ß e ud m io e of pledge by a f ema l e; the clothes were pawne d i n the Chenheino ' who appeared to be very ill, was next exa m i ne d by the Attorney-General—She de posed she was a native of England. Her husband now resided at B russe l s. They formerly l i ved at B inn i ng - I ham. She knew a person of the name of Pierri when at Birmingham. Sbe first became acquainted with him in England about five and a half years ago. He got his livelihood as a teacher of languages. She left England about three years ago last Christmas, and had lest sight of him till the beginning of this year. Pierri called on her at Brussels about the 7th or Bth of January. He met her husband at the door, and went out together. She followed theta to the Cafe Suisse. When she got there she found Pierri had left. He, however, joined them about two minutes after, and informed them that he found the train went earlier than he expected, and that he would be obliged to Ileave that evening. He said he must return to the house because he had left his railway rag there. Pierri had a package and said, " Madame, will you take this ?" and she said " Thank you." She took it into her hand and immediately remarked it was very heavy, and asked him what it was. He said it was a new invention and that she was to bold it for hide till he returned. It was wrapped up in light brown paper. She judged it was metal by its weight. There was a hole in it in which she placed her thumb through the paper. It was like something oval with a hole at the top. She did mot open it. It was loose and shook in her hand. They after wards dined together close to the Northern railway station. Pierri afterwards left by the train for Lille, taking the package with him. He had no luggage. That was the last she saw of him. Pierri wore a black beard and moustache. Cross-examined by Mr. S:rnon.—Her husband was a Frenchman. They received no foreigners at their house in Birmingham. She had met foreign acquaintances at Pierri's house in Birmingham, but she did not know their names. She never saw Orsini or Dr. Bernard. She never heard of the Society of the Friends of Italy. M. Louis N. Mechenheim'examiued by Mr. Macaulay, Q,C., corroborated the last witness, and added that Guorgi at the Cafe Suisse, gave Pierri a small parcel which the latter gave the witness's wife whilst he and Pierri returned for the latter's railway rug, left by him at witness's house. Pierri put the parcel on the seat of • the carriage behind him that it might not fall to the ground. Cross-examined by Mr. Simon —He only knew of an Hungarian physician and an Italian who visited Pierri at Birmingham. He knew nothing of Orsini or Dr. Bernard. He had never heard of the Society of the Friends of Italy.

They were in halves, and she screwed two of them together. Some were in parcels and others uncovered. One of the pieces bad 24 or 25 small holes in it. She counted them. Sh e on l y saw Bernard once in Brussels. About that time she remem bered the articles being taken away by Zsgheirg. Cross-examined by Mr. E.

She came over with Mr. Saundera. He orought her the letter from her husband. Saunders red her she was to come here and give evidence in this twines.. Ile did not tell her to say anything. She gave her evidence in Brussels some months ago. She Tnade a drawing of the balls, which was given to the Julie d'lnstruction, at Brussels. She was t xamined three or four timett. She had seen Saunders several times. The drawing produced she had not seen before. Re-examined by the Attorney-General—She was examined before the British Consul at Mussels and gave A correct description of the balls. M. Devisrnes re-called and examined by Mr. Bodkin— On the Bth of January last Orsini purchased a pistol at vitnesses's shop and took it away with him. He gave 160 francs for it. The pistol produced is the same. Orsini brought it back accompanied with Pierri to have the hammer repaired. It was fetched by Gomez on the 12th of January. He did not know them at the time. Mrs. Fay, wife of William Fay, examined by the Attorney-General—She had lived in Bateman's buildings since the beginning of the year. Rudio and his wife lived here. They were in great distress. She had lent them small sums such as 63., Is., or 41. at a time. She remembered Bernard's coming to the house, and they im mediately after showed signs of being better off. Mrs. Rudio and her husband paid witness what they owed her, and took several articles out of pledge. Before Bernard's visit they lived upon pledging their clothes. She saw Bernard twice ; once he came into her room by mistake, and on the second time she met him on the landing. She remembered Rudio going away. In his absence Mr'. Rudio brought her letters to witness and a led her to read them to her. One had yellow stamps ind the Paris postmark on it. When she had read the letter the envelope was burnt in her fireplace, and the letter was taken up stairs by Mrs. "Wire The enve lope was burnt immediately after the letter was read by Mrs. Rudio. Witness bad not seen the letter since. Cross-examined by Mr. Hawkins—Witness had seen Mrs. Radio and her child at the Bedford Hotel. She told Mr. Saunders how much she should like to see them, and he took her to the Bedford Hotel. Saunders searched Mrs. Rudio's lodgings at Bateman's-buildings two or three times after she had left them. Foreigners constantly visited Rudio ; she had never see❑ English men visit him. She had occasionally seen him go out with foreigners. She never knew of his sleeping out during the five weeks he lived in the house. She knew nothing of him before he came to lodge in the house. She never knew of any one giving him money before Bernard's visits. Mrs. Rudio received four letters, but only one cf them was from her husband. Madame Brion, examined by the Attorney-General— She resided at the Hotel de France et Compiegne, Rue de Montmartre, Paris, and kept the hotel in January last. Two persona came there in January, and took room 50 in the hotel, and slept there for some time. They passed by the names of Swiney (Gomez) and Andreas (Pierri). She afterwards saw them in prison in Paris. They cm.- tinned to lodge t•get.her in room 50 forifour days. Gomez then left ; Pierri remained till the day of his arrest. The same day that Swiney left, a third person came who passed by the name of Da Silva (Rudio). She had since recognised him in prison as Rudie. Swiney left in the morning and Da Silva came two hours after, and con tinued to lodge in the same room with Andreas up to the tune of his arrest on the night of the attempt ea the Emperor's life. Gomez and Pierri were visited by a person named Allsop. She had since recognised him as Orsini. He visited the hotel almost daily both before and after Gomez had left up to the time of the attack on the Emperor. Gomez came again ti the hotel only on the day of the attempt. Orsini took hie coffee at her hotel. On 14th Jan., Orsini came and remaineds ometime with Pierri and Rude). Ilewae therefrom 12 to 1 wlle was joined by Gomez aft-r he had been there a littl; time. Gomez came on horseback. The four went together to room 50. Orsini and Gomez came again about 5 o'clock. They remained together some time, and then I.ft. She saw no more of them that day till Rudio returned in the evening, about 10 o'clock, after the attempt on the Emperor's life. He came into the parlour, and asked for his bill, as he wished to start the next morn ing at S o'clock. He then went up to his room. Police officers came three times to her house that night, and asked only for Pierri ; but witness pointed out to tbem Da Silva (Rudis), as they asked for an Italian. He produced his passport, which they examined, and went away satisfied. They paid a second visit, and again left satisfied. They came a third time between 12 and 1 o'clock, and went to the room No. 50, where Rudio was in bed. They then brought down Rudio with a revolver and a poignard, and took him away. Cross-exunined by Mr. Simon Pierri and Gomez NOAH] they first came occupied themselves with breakfasting, talking, and reading the newspaper. They did not go out much. The first time she saw the four wag on the morning of the 14th. Gomez and Pierri were in the dining-room, where Orsini and Gomfa found them. 'Gomez followed in Orsini. Orsini was always very calm in his manner. They remained only a short time io the room, and then she believed they went up stairs. Gomez appeared to be in a great hurry. She did not see them go out. The Lord Chi f Baron asked the Attorney-General if there were many more witnesses to be examined. The Attorney-General said there were several in point of number, but he thought they would not occupy much time in examination. The Court at two o'clock adjourned for a short time. On resuming, evidenco was called tracing the move ments of the prisoner till the time of the arrest and the articles found on him, which closed the cage for the prosecution. Mr. James will address the jury for the defence to morrow morning. LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.) HOUSE OF LORDS.

FATAL AFFRAT.—This morning, a powerful young man, named Jones, was placed at the bar charged with causing the death of a man whose name is at present unknown. From the evidence it appeared that last night the pri soner was in the neighbourhood of the New Cattle Mar ket, Maiden-lane, and having been engaged drinking with some other men a quarrel arose, a fight followed, and during the disturbance the deceased received such injuries that death ensued in a very short time. Evidence sufficient to justify a remand having been adduced, the prisoner was ordered to be I , ronght up again on Wednesday next, in order that a post mortem examination of the unfortunate man might be made, It is said that witnesses will be forthcoming who will prove that the death of Jones was mainly owing to the effect of an old injury sustained by him on his bead, two years ago, while engaged in removing some fur niture.

The pleasure-seekers of the metropolis have received with some unea'iness and incredulity the reports which have been circulated respecting the discontinuance 0 1 the Epsom Spring Meeting. The Licensed Victuallers, who established the gathering, feel scandalised that even a thought of its abandonment should ever have been enter tained, whil-t certain inhabitants of Epsom have raised a great outcry against the impending dissolution of their early meeting. These fears may after all be groundless, and Mr. Docling may have no intention to deprive his fellow-townspeople of a copious source of revenue or lop off a branch of amusement which is so pcpular with Londoners. Certainly a diminution of sport cannot be urged as a reason for the abolition of the meeting, for the racing has annually increased, and, indeed, the programme promises a supply to-morrow which will be beyond the ordinary demand. The card will contain seven item., two of which are appointed to close this evening. The weather seems to have taken a propitious change, and if a bright atmosphere and interesting► sport can induce people who have been "long iu populous city pent" to breathe the pure air, the Grand Stand and en closure are not likely to lack occupants. The racing at York has not exercised much in fluence over speculation on either the City and Sub urban or the Metropolitan Stakes, both of which events, as betting races, have been remarkably open. For the shorter race a large field may be calculated upon, whilst the number of starters for the " Metrop.' seems likely to exceed the average. Speculation on the City and Suburban has been quietly pursued ; still, although the lists of quotations published from time to time have not been very lengthy, yet the betting has taken no limited range. Although Fisherman's performance for the Flying Dutchman's Handicap was an extraordinary one, yet the admirers of the old horse can scarcely be sanguine enough to let heve that he has a chance of even equalling his York mining at Epsom. If Tourcament were to be the representative of Drewitt's stable, I should be induced to regard his pretensions with partiality, but Blue Jacket will in all probability be the trusted champion from Lewes. This horse ran two good races last year, and his known ability and Fordham's luck may bring him through in triumph. Schiedam has been supported with much spirit, and people declare " by all the blood of all the Howards" that the stakes will go to Findon. I dislike bottled up horses and shall therefore record a vote of want of confidence against Schiedam. Should Madlle. de Chantiily only run lid to her true form, she is likely to compensate French turfites for the disappointment which her defeat for the Cambridgeshire occasioned them last season. That she is wonderfully fast, and that she possesses no ordinary racing merit was clearly proved by her performance with Saunterer and Fisherman at Chantilly last summer, and her forward p ,sition in the Cambridgeshire—an event for which she went to the post notoriously amiss. Some expectations are entertained of the Flying English man, but Ido not share them. Raven showed a good deal of form last year, and the lenient impost placed upon him has deservedly caused his chance to be seriously considered. His running subsequent to the Brighton Meeting can scarcely be deemed a criterion of his true merit, for that was totally at variance with his antece dents. The course will be ill adapted to Costrel, who has proved that he neither likes a distance nor a severe course. As the last feather breaks the camel's back, so will the "last quarter of a mile" at Epsom be fata. to Costrel. The running of Tunstall Maid fer the Great Northern Handicap has caused much at tention to be directed to T. Dawson's lot. No sign of the coming animal, however, has yet been made. Blackthorn was beaten in his trial, and Terrific, there• fora, is the only animal of whom expectations may be en tertained. The popularity which Beadsman obtained by his success at Newmarket was cf somewhat brief dura tion. He seemed about to be made a very prominent favourite for this event, but the demonstration which was to advance him to the front rank in the betting has not been well sustained. Should the horse be as fit as he was at Newniarket. I shall be much surprised if ho do not obtain a very forward position. Of the remaining three-yr•olds Little Treasure and Wouvermans are most to my fancy. The owner of the former has strong faith in his filly's ability to repeat for him his triumph with Adamas last year. Little Treasure is a smart filly enough, and she has doubtless given her owner satis factory proofs of the soundness of her pre , cnsions. The Epsom people, too, believe that on his own ground Wouvermans will not occupy his old place of second or third. The horse improved upon his Northampton running at Newmarket, and as he has been a long time trying to get his heal first past the post, he may succeed to-morrow. I shall therefore select against the field-- BLUE JaCKET, LITTLE TREASUItig, AN n WouvEßsiAris. Monarque won the Newmarket 'Handicap with such decided cleverness, that, despite his extra weight, the confidence which is placed in his chance for the METito- POLITAN STAKES is certainly well founded, Still, his ability to concede 151bs, to Borderer, the winner of the Northamptonshire Stakes, m ay be well doubted, especlall; as a pr,bability exists that the Lewes horse will be sent to the post to-morrow nearly 71:)s. better than he was at Northampton. The Wrestler, after having been somewhat unsteady in the market, was at York again brought into the betting with considerable force. The horse bas already shown much improvement of form, but I am disposed to think that he will be "asked to do too much" to give 12Ibs. to Telegram, whose race with Eclipse at Newmarket is alone sufficient to impart a formidable appearance to his chance. Black Tommy will, if he retain his Derby and his Doncaster form, be difficult to dispose of. I certainly prefer him to the other top weight. The City and Suburban, and Metropolitan Stakes have been remarkable for both being won either by the same horse or the same jockey. This year may furnish no exception t the rule, and I shall net Le sur prised to see Fordham at she head of the list for each event. For the Metropolitan my interest shall be re presented by BORDERER, BLACK TOMMY, AND TELEGRAM. For the Inkerman Plate New Brighton and Green- wich Fair are the most attractive Eames, and either Ad miralty or Saxe Weimar may win the Railway Plate. For the Two•yr-old Stakes my fancy points to Fusee and Meg Merrilieza. A FRESH MAN. STEALING THE MADONNA. A letter from Rome, in the Univers, contains the following extraordinary tale :—" In the cathe dral of Velletri, near Rome, was an image of the Virgin, nearly covered with gold, and decked out with necklaces, rings, and jewellery, and it was held in great veneration by the people. In the Holy Week, it was, according to custom, screened from view by a curtain, and on Holy Thursday some person contrived to steal it. On Good Friday, the archpriest of the cathedral received a note thus conceived :—" I, the undersigned, know the thief, and the spot in which is deposited the image of the Madonna, and 1 will make revelations on three conditions—impunity for myself, the release of my brother, who is to be condemned to death, and a pension of 10 crowns a-month.—..VENDETTA.' The archpriest having ascertained that the image really had beau abstracted, communicated the strange epistle to the delegate, Mgr. Giordani. In stead of seeking at once for the writer of the letter, this dignitary applied to Rome for orders, and the Pope, fearing the total loss of the image, and the effect that would be produced amongst the people, directed that the first condition of the bandit should be accepted, but that the other two should be re jected. Vendetta having learned this re, - olution, spread amongst the people of Velletri the news of the robbery of the image, which the clergy of the cathedral had kept secret, and he write to the clergy that he would be content with impunity for himself and with five hundred crowns paid down. On Saturday the people wont en masse to the church, and waited with anxiety for the arrival of that part of the service in which the crucifixes and images are uncovered ; but the veil which had covered the image of the Madonna was not removed. On Sunday the people again went to the church, but as the image was not displayed, they became excited, and murmured ; and at length some of them got on the altar, and tore down the curtain. The rumour was then spread by friends of Vendetta that it was the Jesuits who had stolen the Madonna ; and the excited people, believing t he falsehood, broke into the convent occupied by the Jesuits which is near to the cathedral, and with cries of La Madonna no v s_t r r e V d completely sacked it, and ill-treated the e %%ended fathers. Shortly after the suffragan bishopbrezetd the pulpit, and exhorted the people.. 10 or 12 T3te • in the church to be calm, but they to him. There is no garrison exce-t sition could ba vans in the town so that no °ePti°shop descended made to the mob. ' olfuld vot listen When yncredible scene occurred; from the pulpit, Vendetta,a6c3ree -armed with a poignard, addressed the people Be the brigand ascended it, and t o h d u fathers are innocent patient ! Th© ° donna ! But I will only restore who stole the Mado nna it when the government, to whom I g ran t a d e l ay t ill lk o shall h n d a y evening, ave consented t o th e conapaet I have proposed to it. Be calm, th ere f ore, an d shout no more . I warn you, in conclusion, that my companions are armed as well as I 1' What followed that harangue, we have not yet learned ; but a deputation of the municipality and chapter of Velletri have arrived here, and have had an inter view with the Pope. Orders have been issued to despatch a troop of gendarmes on horseback and a company of Swiss infantry to Velletri to establish order.'' LITERkTURE. Christianity in China, Tartary, and Thibet. By M. L'Abbe Hue, author of " The Chinese Em pire," tk. - 7c. Vol. 111. Longman. M. Bac proceeds with his careful and elaborate work on the establishment and varying fortunes of Christianity in China and its neighbouring states. He brings down Lis rec: , rd to the commencement of the 1.8011 century, and gives several interesting particulars respecting the conversions in the royal family of Prince Sourima. The n 'native comes down to the death of the Emperor Kbang-Bi, the contemporary of Louis XIV. The style and cha racter of the work is, of course, the same as its pre decessors, and more attractive to the readers who sympathise with the progress and extension of Jesuitism than to th ose o f another faith. Never theless, all of unpre j u di ce d m i n d s w i ll b e a b le to appreciate the courage and self-devotion of the mis sionaries, and the difficulties and dangers with which they Lad to contend. The following descrip tion will give some idea of the risks they fearlessly eiciueinitterFedreinno,temfiuuritslti eerr,aneceolobfetrht,eihrapdlapnrscoir.aereieoa The d eminent a mission to China , and had made the necessary introductory arrange ments when death closed hi s career. His suggestions wore, howeve r , out by his successor, Louveii, and six Jesuit mis sionaries were despatched. They sailed for Batavia, and from thence to Siam, where they arrived in safe:3 , , but they were not so fortunate in their sub sequent journey : Fathers de Fontaney, Gerbillon, De Visdelou; nouveS. and Le Comte then embarked on board a small French vessel of the Indian Company and set sail for Macao. " The vessel," says Father La Comte, " belonged to Mon ' sieur Constance, and appeared to be good, but she was so knocked about that in a few hours she began to open at all her seams." She had, in fact, encountered one of I those terrible typhoons that cause such fearful ravages in the Chinese seas. The wind had become so terrific that the sailors, losing courage, left off working the ship. The pilot, thinking it more prudent to run ashore than to struggle with the tempest at the risk of being swallowed in the waves, abandoned himself to their mercy, and was providentially cast upon the shore, without injury, behind au island near the extremity of the kingdom of Cambodia. The pilot declared it would be necessary to make a stay of several months, and wait for the next monsoon, which might enable them to get the vessel off shore, double the points, and continue their voyage; but the missionaries, more annoyed by the delay thee fearful of any danger they might incur by going on, resolved to proceed by land to Siam, in the hope of there meeting with some English vessel bound for Canton. They plunged into the forest, therefore—hoping to find a village and natives who might serve them as guides—but they soon lost their way, and then their lives wore in as great a peril on land as they had been before in the terrible typhoon at sea. The brooks swollen by the rains, had rendered the paths almost im passable; and the poor missionaries, walking barefoot through rushing streams and fields covered with water, were terribly tormented by the leeches and gnats, which in those countries are the scourge of the stranger; and the forests were besides infested Ly serpents, tigers, elephants and buffaloes, which prevented their enjoying one mo ment's undisturlied repose. There was, too, one enemy still more formidable than these, agaiust which the wayfarers had to struggle, namely, hunger. As they had soon consumed the small stock of provisions they had brought away with them, and were reduced to distressing scarcity, they would, in all probability, have been starved to death, but for the accidental discovery of a village. The inhabitants of it were not, indeed, in a position to afford them very substamtial help, being themselves very slenderly provided with food, but they gave them enough to enable them to resume their march;and also showed them the way back to their vessel, which they reached, after a journey of fifteen days, in a state of groat ex haustion. These fervid and intrepid monks had now had an opportunity of knowing what a difference there is be tween loving hardship and suffering in a cell, in your own country, and putting these resolutions into practice in the depths of forests in a remote and foreign land. The stranded vessel was at length got into the port of Siam, and the missionaries, after waiting there for some months, decided try embark on board a Chinese junk that was going to Ning-Po a considerable town of China, in the province of Tehe-Klavg. The following sketch of the character of the Em peror Khang- Hi may be interesting to those un acquainted with the attributes of that monarch : When he had barely attained the age of manhood, he had to front numerous and powerful enemies, wbo wore attacking him on all sides; to give chase to formidable pirates who were infesting his coasts,—to disperse the im mense armies of the valiant Ou-Sang-Koui, who had excited all the southern provinces to insurrection, —compel the Kings of Canton and Fo-Kien to sub ' mission,—subjugate the prince of Cheni-Si,—and finally extinguish, in the blood of the Mogul princes, the scions of . the ancient conquerors of China, the claims that they were endeavouring to revive. This is what Khang-Hi had to effect when he was scarcely twenty years old; and it may be imagined what energy and sagacity it demanded from the young Emperor. Khang-Hi soon learned from the missionaries attached to his court to what a far higher degree of perfection the arts and sciences bad been carried in the West, and ho knew better than to follow merely the Chinese books in such matters. He pointed out to his astonished people a new path, into which inordinate attachment to ancient custom, as well as mistaken presumption, had hitherto pre vented their entering. Ho himself cultivated the sciences of Europe with incredible ardour ; and geometry, astro nomy, medicine, anatomy, and other branches of physical n,iumee, bonlms successively the subjects of intense aprli. cati, nto him. In the cause of art he was no less zealous than in that of science ; he established in his pa'nce 'various ateliers, in which he kept the most skilful and industrious artists and workmen constantly employed, giving them the masLerpieces of Europe as models ; painters, sculptors, en gravers, enamellers, artisans in steel and copper, emulated each other in endeavouring, under the direction of Euro peans, to satisfy the taste of a prince who could so well appreciate and reward works of merit. it was this love for science and art in Khang-Hi which procured for the missionaries a freedom of access to his person not granted to the first dignitaries of the empire, nor even to the princes of the blood; and in the frequent gr t e o a tpsovereign himselfse e seemed a t o levelfor with mere monks, the truths of Christianity were often g c e o t tiN t - h er e sa n t i j a7j n es s t'y in of w th h e ic t h h t r h on is e discussed. He could not bat appreciate the purity of the moral system of the religion with which ho thus beegme acquainted, and he spoke in praise of it before his whole court, protected its ministers by a public edict, and per mitted its free exercise throughout his empire; but it not, nevertheless, appear that he ever had any serious in tention of embracing it. If he favoured the missionaries it was because they were useful to him, and that the splendour of their talents shed glory on his reign. * * * * * * The missionaries of Pekin had been overwhelmed by the favours of the Emperor Khang-Hi, and we need not there fore ba surprised at their zealous eulogies of the monarch who had raised them above all the princes of Chins. In speaking of the splendour of his reign, they are continu ally comparing him to his contemporary Louis XIV. of France ; the " Historical Portrait of the Emperor of China," published by Father Bouvet in 1697, carries out in detail the parallel between the two sovereigns, and Louis XIV., who could not but be flattered by it, several times testified his esteem for Khang-Hi, with out breaking through the custom of the Kings of Franc", of not sending embassies to China for fear of compromis ing their dignity. Mirabeau says somewhere, in speaking of Louis XIV., that he was the most Cliental king of the West ; and when we see in what honour the arts and sciences were hold at Pekin during the reign of Khang-Ili, may we not say that he was the most Western monarch of the East ? The work is, of course, far from its completion, and is yet some di s t a nce from the record o f th e labours of M. L'Abbe Hue himself. The attention which has lately been directed to the Celestial Em pire and the Mongolian dominions will probably ensure for this work an extensive circulation, inde pendently of the authority attaching to its author's na me and position among those of his own creed. The writer has contrived to invest a somewhat tedious subject with some degree of interest, and to advance another step in his laberious undertaking Iwith credit to himself and satisfaction to his yea. lets.
