Member of the London Hospital Medical Society , Licentiate Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c.. &c. The essential object of this treat se is to point out the fearfulr_ sequences resulting from certain habits, irregu larities, and excesel; which have produced in ur e m i ser y i n Y ou th, d egr adation in Man hood, and prematur• decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, an) other class of diecase known to, modern pathologists. Its perusal I. particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts o their physical condition, e.nd who are conscious of having hazardec the health. happiness, and privileges to which every human being I: entitled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are p inciples of personal management which cannot be violated with pet incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret rue c , eti the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties may ho mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the, evil and its consequences maybe avoided, and, above all, thst there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functions' derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a care.

THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.-' It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious article of animal diet first made its aprearanze ; and alrea of its celebrity is world-wide. It has been a subject of wonder, and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, a gentleman, wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a " perfect hag of bones." lie tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition , but in Vain. He then bought some of Thorley's food ; and he says the effect was wonder ful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks, cultural had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find atthe late sgricult shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which carried off the highest pr zes. had been partly fed with Thorley's food t o r cattle. Such facts speak ter themselves. and we are forced to the conclu sion, that its celebrity arises solely from its own intrinsic merits, and the gre st demand for it can proceed alone from the good opinion and testimosy of those who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street , London, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free. NO MORE PILLS NOR ANY OTHER MEDICINE.

We have received by the O'verland Mail corre spondence and papers from Wilt .anal China of the following dates:—Calcutta,• June 4 ; Madras, June 10 ; Hong Kong, May 22 ; Shanghee, May 17. The following summary of nerve from'the Bengal Hurkatea of June 3, though it contains some facts already known, will be read with interest : Let not the British public , deieive itself or be den_ived by any communications from this country. We want more men from England. • . • During the 16 days which have elapsed since our last overland summary theremar z liable, change which we then announced as impending overthe whole character of the revolt has established itself more clearly, and indeed in a manner which is now dii .cernible upon the most cursory sixatriination.i We said that the insurrection was about to lose the quality which it had hitherto.more or less main tained " of a concentrated struggle for mastery on a smaller number of important ,points." and to be seecceeded by a " multiplicity of sthall and harassing ac ions scattered over animmetteely widened area" This prognostication has been verified: to the letter. The change is anything but au advantage to . us. Soldiers can endure an incredible amount of hard ship, fatigue, and privation, in the excitement pro- , duced by the prospect of an engagement an d decisive results within a 9karly limited and caleattialgtinte; but notch ieeersaiting amongqiiitttirideis-sodujitri ously affected by the heart-sickness of hope deferred. They. can far more easily:bear the vicissitudes and alternations of a fierce campaign on a grand scale, oallie g out all the mighty passions of military struggle —nay, even the most tremendous reverses, pro vided it be "upon the cards," to repair them by those fervent exertions in which, inspired as they are by splendid hopes, all pain, all anxiety, all cares are forgotten. But when nothing decisive is hoped for or deemed possible in the nature of the struggle, and yet the desperate effors and the unspairing toils which such a result would deserve, would obtain, and would reward, are equally necessary without a chance or an expectation of it, the soldier quickly loses heart, health, and moral buoyancy. If any one circumstance could increase the fearful mortality which is the inevitable attendant of a European force obliged to keep the field during the heat and rain of the season now opening in central and upper India, it would be the necessity of long forced marches, incessant changes of quarter, and small ignominious conflicts simultaneously in a thousand spots to day, and nobody can say where to-morrow, with neither honour nor a conclusion consequent upon the most complete victory, but deep disgrace and real danger upon the slightest defeat. Let Government, then, and lot the British na tion look the truth honestly in the face. We want, we need more soldiers from England. It is no longer the case of a great struggle, in which the energy of our men might compensate their fewness, and perhaps the skill of a single commander bring home a glorious decision from a hard-fought field. It is no longer the case of a struggle which can, in its nature, be decided thus by any great conflict whatever. Nay, the very circumstance which may dispose the nation at home to imagine they can now, with safety, relax in their exertions; is the circumstance which, of all others, should most impel them to redouble their efforts, and which would the most surely and infallibly operate in rendering any relaxation fatal—we mean the dis persion of the insurgents. Oar forces are able to crush them in a great battle, and they know it. But are those forces, in this climate, at this season, for two-thirds of the Indian year, able to patrol half India, to keep the communications open, to maintain the security of trade, to repress a universal guerilla warfare, or even to make bead against it, and to show a front wherever it may choose to break out ? Are those forces able to remain at once an army in order to avoid being destroyed, and yet to - become a police in order that the Indian empire may avoid falling into chaos ? If the realer will now take his map and follow us, be will obtain a clear notion of the transactious which have occupied the period since our last sum mary. Without the map, unless he have already a familiar picture of Indian localities in his mind, he will be able to form no clear idea of what has oc curred or of what is occurring. The most interest- • ing military operations subsequent to the 11th of May are those of Sir Hugh Rose's column. On that very day he had passed Sundhee, close to Ottah, and had advanced within ten miles of Calpee, where the most formidable of the numberless minor musters of the insurgents had been formed. They did not mean to offer any desperate or final opposi tion to Sir H. Rose, for they hal made a bridge for their escape across the Jumna ; yet they were resolved to dispute his progress, for the Nawab of Banda, with 3,000 fighting men, Tantia Topee, and the Ranee of Jhansi, had joined them. Meanwhile Cul. Riddell, with the Etwah column, was moving down on the 18th to co-operate with the whole of the field force under Sir H. Rose along the left bank of the Jumna. Before this movement could be completed, that is on the 16th, the enemy, with cavalry, infantry, and three guns, one drawn by an elephant, attack e d th e 2d b r igade of the field fore, and were driven back into their entrench meats. The Nephew o f N ana S ahib was with them. Six days later they again attacked with great de termination Sir Hugh Rose's right flank and front, at his camp of Gogowlie. The right was hard pressed ; the camel corps was brought up to its relief, and charged bayonets successfully. This advantage was vigorously pressed, and the re pulse of the enemy became a rout. Sir Hugh, however, then gave his men a few hours' repose, and it was not till early the next morning that he assaulted Calpee. There the sepoys, having (as we just now said) made a bridge already for their escape, showed the native consistency of I character ; for they next swore they would die or destroy Sir 11. Rose's force, and then they ended b y flying in panic at its advance, and leaving it master of the town and fort of Calpee.

About the time of acco rding to a strange message from sm itted by Government, souse ,a againstliab C a d a I t s:: : i en gagement, concerning which or its r e sults nothing b occurred Sir Colic Camp bell himself and the further was ceinmanica ted to the public, rebel force at Hattara and Bunee, a little dis tance to the east of Shalijelianpore. Our readers willremember, from our last summary, the surprise by the rebels, a nd our recovery of this place. The government messsge to which we now allude 19 dated the 21st of May, Allahaba,d, and "reports" a report from Futteinghur that the commander-in ch.ef had been engaged all day on the 18.11 with treuchments." The Monlvie Liakut Ali attacked, plundered, and then abandoned Sandee and Palee. We pass over a multiplicity of minute operatiOns and forays, cases of plunder and run away, from- which there has been little effect. To come nearer home Cron.Lugard, writing from Judgespora on the 27th, an nounces a victorious attack on the rebals atiDullee pore, the capture of two elephants, the re-capture of the two 12-pounders lost by theArrah party, and the destruction of Dulleepere and of a large house helonging to one of the rebel chiefs. The enemy were drivert out of the jungle, and pursued by some of the 10th and 84th in a south-west direction. Calcutta is not pleased at the southerly part of this direction. The jungle at Jugdespore has been consigned to the axe. Meanwhile the roads are generally infested by marauding banditti ; and although the telegraphic communications are on the whole maintained, and the dawks run, pet these last are by no means safe. Fiom Alla habad to Cawnpore, from Futtepore to 0:1W11- pore, none like to venture except under cover, or in the vicinity of strong escorts. The murder of one officer, Ma,jor Waterfield, and the miraculous esclpe of another, his companion (Capt. Faaihawe), on „their way to Agra, are significant (MOO, when it is rernanbered that the road they chose dvafs tlae less infested and less dangerous of the two. No import ant military news have come beyond what we have now recorded, nor till we receive large reinforce ments from England will it be possible to settle the countty. At Allahabad five ranges of fine barracks were burnt to the ground on the 231 alt., under the very eyes of the Governor-General, and beyond all doubt by an incendiary. Indeed it was in an un occupied barrack, supposed to be empty, that the flames broke out. Ab nit half way between Allaba bad and Benares, at Gopigunge, one of the hundred gatherings of rebels, that now flit here and there, necessitated in the middle of last month a concen tration of troops to clear the road. We tria,y;mention here that it has been s'ated; on respectable autho • rity, and that it is generally believed, that Nana Sahib (while various columns were in hot pursuit here and there of his imaginary trail) came quietly to Allahabad the week before last, and sojourned there at ease for eight days. The impudent caitiff has doubled his promised reward for the Governor- General's head, which reward had previously only equalled that which the Governor-General offers for his, Calcutta has not laid aside all idea of a possible massacre ; and in truth it is not, and cannot b-, any absurdity to term possible what would be mole that is—easy. The Zeiniudar of Packet:', whose family is among the highest of the ancient native nobility, is still re tained in custody as " a state prisoner," although acquitted °lathe charges of treason for which he was tried. The Punjab remains quiet., The rebels in India, are scattered but not subdued ; and, except the operations we have recorded, there is every whet e a sore of uneasy smouldering of the revolt rather then anything that deserves to be called its sup pressioti. GOVERNMENT MESS AGES. The following are the latest Government mes sages : Service Message from G. F. Eclrnonstone, dated Allehatad, 26th Wine, 11.10 p.m. "We hear from Jullunder that 35 cep ys of the 4th N.I. were sentenced to death by a geueral court-martial. Eight wore blown away from the guns, and the remain• der were shot by mueketry. Seven men of the Mb Irregular Cavalry have been sentenced to transportation for life. A general court-martial is sitting. Celonel Middleton occupied Hum:erpore on the 25th without oppoeition. Tne villagers are said to be coming in fast and bringing supplies. All the houses in the station were f nind with their roofs destroyed, the churchyard desecrated, and not an article of European furniture or manufacture in the place." Service Message from Commissioner of Patna, dated May 27, six a an " The only account of yesterday's fight we got here is from the Arrah Darogab, who is with the force. He says that our two guns have been retaken, that the enemy's leader and a number of sepoys have been killed, and that our troops were still in pursuit. I shall have further particulars in the course of a few hours." From Jugde :pure, 27th May, via Patna, 27th May, 1853, 1.45 p.m. From Thigadier-General E, Lagers'. to Secretary to Milita-y Department and Chief of the Staff. "I attacked the rebels at Dulleepore this morning, ' and recapture.l the two 12-pounder howitzsr guns lost by the Arrah party. Two elephants were also captured, and Dolleepore, with a lar;;e house belonging to one of the rebel chiefs, destroyed. N o loss on m y side," Service Message from the Commissioner of Patna, dated 27th May, 1853, five p in., to the Secretary to the Government Bengal. "It appears from Sir E. Lugard'e letter that he made a combined movement on the enemy, sending cavalry and artillery to Dulleepora to drive them out from Muttahee, where the chief force lay with the two guns then advancing with infantry and artillery direct 'on to Muttahee, and sending a strong column through the jungle, where they came upon tee enemy's rear just as he commenced retreating with the guns. The 10th, and a party of the 84th, pursued them to Jetwara, and drove them out of the jungle in a sonth- west direction. Two elephants were taken beside, the two guns, and none of the men have suffered from exposure, though they were out till evening." Service Message from G. F. Edmonstone, dated Allattabad, May 29, 11 a.m. "The rebels near Shaejehanpore were attacked on the 24th and driven back to Mohumtlee, which place has b-en taken by our troop - . Some 200 fugitives from Calpee attempted to cross the Ganges, between Sheraj ps)re and Bilhotr, but were attacked and disperse I by the zemindars of Pergannib Rue ulabad. The IVloulvia Liakut Ali, of Allahabad notoriety, has attacked and plundered Btlgratn. It is this man, and not the well larown Fyzebael Moulvie Ahmelollah Shah, who at• tacked and plundered Palee and Stndhee. A subter , raneoue magazeie has been discovered in the fort of Cal pee. It contains 500 barrels of powder and immense quantities of ordnance stores. In the town and fort four foundries and manufectoriee of cannon were dis covered, and one 18-pounder brass gun, one brass 8-inch mortar, and two brass 9-pounder guns, all made in these manufactories, were found. Colonel Robertson, w:tb a flying column from Calpee, is foilevoing up the rebels to the frontier of Shahgurb. The troops at Calpee are getting much healthier. The Cupoortellan Rajas is to day at Urgul, on his way to Lucknow, with some 5,000 men, of whom 1,200 are cavalry. There are said to be still 1,000 rebel horse and foot at the StreorajporeGhaut on the Ganges." Service Message from Sir H. Rose, dated CAlpee, May 31. " The troops sent by me in pursuit of the Calpee sepoys and rebels took eight guns, of which two are Eoglieh 9- pounders cf the Gwalior Contingent, and two other 9- pounder horse artillery guns of the rebels. F‘fteen guns were kept in the fort, of which one wars an 18-pounder of the , Gwalior Contingent,' and two are mortars made by the rebels. Twenty-four standards were taken, one of which is the colour of the liotah Contingent, and ano her a Velaitee standard, and most of the rest are the colours of the different regiments of the Gwalior Contingent. The subterranean magazine contains 10,000 pounds of Eugli-h powder in barrel, 9,000 pounds shot and empty shells, a quantity of 8-inch filled with shrapnel ; a case shot, siege and ball ammunition for small arms, entrenching tools of all kinds, wrote, new and old, boxes of musketsquite new, }lints wet percussion caps ; all sorts of ordnance stores in great quantities.

Everything proves that the rebels considered Calpee an arsenal and a point of great it pertenee, which they inten ded to keep to the last, and that they only abandoned it in consequence of the severe defeat which they sustained at GurdGlee no the 27th inst., and the panic caused by the UneXpeCr app,ar a.nce of my force before Calpee on the following morn- Pig.

The troops remain in good health and in high spirits, in expectation of being sent north. The rain has been incessant, and in many places the town has been nearly swamped. A report is in circulation that Whang has ap proached the city, but on this no reliance can be placed ; and the infatuated authorities at Fatshan have issued a proclamation offering large rewards . for the heads of the Chinese interpreters who ate attached to the commissioners' staff: T.:is procla illation may possibly have been called out by th:ir dread of an attack, for they have blocked up the main branch of the river leading to the town, so that only very small junks can come up, and that only by a very circuitous route. A curt-martial began to on Tuesday last, on the case of three marines of the 24 battalion, a';- cased of having committed some brutal atroci.ies. They broke out of their quarters on the evening of the 4th instant, and are said to have run a sort o f " muck" through the city, besides committing six distinct robberies. They are accused of having attempted to violate the wife of a coolie ; of having killed the coolie and another China man, a watchmaker ; and of having wounded four other persons. If these charges are proved against them they will doubtle-s be hung, and meet with no commiseration. Ttle evidence against them is very strong, butit will take a week or so for the court to ger, through it all. Everything remains quiet, and the rumours of gatheiings of " braves" for.an attack on the allied forces have died away. Tue soldiers have: been I amusing themselves with horse-racing and thea- tricals. The allied fleet, consisting of 119 vessels of war, was at anchor 11 miles from the mouth of the Peiho and 146 front Pekin. The vessels were separated by a mud bank from the Chinese forts which gu:u d the month of the river, and which mount about, 80 guns. The gunbca,ts bad reconnoitred. Six days had been allowed to the Chines . e for an answer from Pekin, and before that period an officer of proper rank had been deputed to meet the Pienipot,n , ti , trics ; but there was very little hope of a peace full solution i , f difficulties, and the 6ampson had been s , ,nt to Hong Kong for reinforc-ments. She was to leave f a- the north again on the 29 h May, with six officers and 170 ineit'of the Rival Eog:neer , and t a'o gunboats were to accompany her. It was reported that 59th were under orders for the same destination, about 1,200 native ttoeps having arrived from Calcutta and Madras. The French transport Gironde had also arrived with 900 marine infantry. The troop ships Sydney and Sesostris arrived on the 6th from Calcutta, with officers, 380 men, and 120 camp followers of the 65th Bengal Native In fants y, and 4 officers, 355 men, and 61 camp fol lowers of the 47th Bengal Native Infantry ; and the Tubal Cain, on the 12th, with an additional 450 sepoys. The French auxiliary steam. tiausport :4ironcle has brought on some 900 marine infantry, and two other transports, La Saone and Pregent, with the steam corvette La Place, are shortly ex pected. These must prove a welcome addition to the allied forces in China waters. In Hong Kong attempts have been made by in cendiaries to fire the Tai-ping-shin, or upper por tion of the Chinese town, but happily they proved unsuccessful, and four out of ten men Engaged in them have been apprehended. The government have offered rewards for the apprehension of the others, who must either fall into the hands of the police or be driven from the colony. An inquiry is being made into the circumstances connected with the dispoal of the Opium Farm, and the reputed connection of the acting Colonial Secretary with the monopolist ; but until the com- IllieSioll—coasisting of the Hon. Mr. H. T. Davies, chief magistrate, and the Hon. Mr. J. Dent, the senior resident partner of the firm of Dent and Co. —have closed the proceedings and handed in their report it would be manifestly unfair for us to ex press any opinion on the subject. 0 f unable A,i Attorney-Generale p sad art. to w ri ie a eo n nn t tts c r fol whom are e m r ae o n n tcdt y lo; olvng exis ts have always el swr a ei m eoyrr o se n t sbag,e; emsyt, h na e nadqt. heads utihtee log gerheads ; and the superintendent of police and the protector of Chinese at daggers-drawing ; while in addition to the brouillerie we have now the attorney-general resigning his office of justice of the peace, and appealing to the Secretary of State for the Colonies, because, as he says, the governor has refused to investigate certain charges brought by him many months ago against the registrar general. Tice resignation, however, arose more directly out of a recent charge made verbally in council, and which Sir J. Bowring requested should be made in writing T the attorney-general de clined doing, on the ground that no attention what ever had been paid to previous charges still on record against the same officer (Mr. Caldwell), whose s i m ple word bad been accepted in abnegation of what lie (Mr. Anstey), was prepared to prove ; but he readily supplied Sir John with a copy of his let ter to the Secretary of State. The accusation for merly brought against Mr. Caldwell (in connection, if we er: not, with Ma-chow Wong, the pirate) wer, , , we are informed, of such a very serious nature as . to call for a thorough investigation, which should either have resulted in a public verdict of acquittal or his summary dismissal from Government em ploy. The truth of the allegations against him will p , ehaoc: hay e he en put to the test, since a commis sion of three fficial and four non - official jus t ices of tits appointed to sift the matter. WHAMPOA.—A note from Whampoa informs us that the quietude of the port has remained undisturbed by the alarms at Canton, and trade is improving. New shops are opening every day, awl the aspect of affairs at pre sent is ,mo.t promising. Complaints are made of the want of a post-office at the Dort. Cow per's Docks are now in fuh play, and Gow's Dock is ready. SHANGLIAE.—The principal item of news is an attempt made by the Cbineie to levy act additional duty upon imparted foreign manufactures.

THE PROCEEDINGS -01 4 'THE' PLENIPO - Not a little anxiety has teen felt to know : the ex-, act character of the news brought by EI:M.'S-steam ship Sampson heat ,the Gulf of :Pecheli, butthese, So far as we can learn, indicate no essential change in the position' of affairs. Tsung-lutt, one of the cominissioners who met. Sir J. .13 , 6 wring at Tien tsin ;in 1854, • had been appointed to coder with the 'plenipotentiaries ; but, from this nothing can be deduced as yet. His mission may only be . to'in duce them to return- to the south, or he may have power to treat with them ; but the former supposi tion is the more probable, as there is no intelli gence of any one friendly to foreigner's having been admitted into the councils at Peking,. His, • ap pointment, however, had led to the suspenaion of hostilities against the two forts at the mouth of the river, so there is no-question that Lord Elgin is pre pared to causetroubles in 'the northbefore the Can encqueslion is settled. To further this end, the o ,6lpson leaves on" Saturday next for cheli, with. x Officers .and, Mk Man of the ,Royal Engineers. two gunboats are to start for. the same ple.6e,. On • an I same daY", or immediately after. The 59th , Legit. is also reported under orders for the north companies now in Hong-J(ong 'to' be-relieved ly Indian troops. 'ne .ettracts "which we -subjoin from the-Nerth Mina Herald of the 15th May wilLsprve to palmy telerablyilistinct and accurate-idea-of the _posi ion of Lord Elgin and the other plenipotentiaries t he mouth of the Peiho. It does not 'appear ,hat Lord Elgin is actin; on any fixed principles, it following any definite line of policy; like other British statesmen of the time, - he is feeling his way, and acting aiLthe necessities of the moment dictate. Finding the possession of Cantonegaireenn treat 'volt ege-ground ftotn whichhe might enforcetie claims ou the Court of Peking, he moved north ward, in the hope that the Imperial commissioner would be mere reasonable the nearer the plenipo tentiaries approached to the seat of empire. • Dis appointed in the expeQta , ion of meeting with the corntnissioner at the mouth of the Yang e tze-kiaug, aut.' refused di , ect intercourse with Peking, he ad vanced to the Peiho, evidently in some ignorance as to what obstacles he might meet with, and enter taining a saogu'ue estimate of the means atlhis dis pq al for makiug an impression. Possibly he may have adopted the best course open to him in the circumstances, but it must have Lem hit upon pretty much at haphazard. The bar at the mouth of the Tien-tsin River forms a serious obstacle to the employmmt of the more formidable portion of his naval force. It does not yet spyear with any certainty that a commissioner with proper powers has been appointed to treat, nor can it be said that Lord Elgin has sufficient material means at his comm ir.' to make the Chinese submit should they coat inw: obs' inate. " Peiho, April 29, 1858. " On the Mb inef., the day of our arrival here, we had the Furious, Pique, Cormorant, Slaney, Mississippi, add the America, lying at various distances from the eqore. the lasi, a aussian se-rimer, the nearest of all. " Early the n( xi day we had a fine view of the four Nes et the mouth r f the Peiho—the morning sun ren dering them se ry distinct egainat the horiz in. Few flees were set n cornoared with the previous day, nor re an y troops visible ; but when I tell you we were timer six raises r ff . it will not seem very surprising -that We cmild fie: learn many statistics of teis sort. Oa Monday (tile 19th) a boat that bad been towed up from Shengbae was despatched, with a party of Men in her, to the mouth t f the river, to make observa tion', atet to get some provision?. Meanwhile, two mititary of f icers came off to the fl set, recognised as bar ing been on hoard the ships here in 1854. One was Chin, a yiefu of Tien-thin prefecture, the other was Chan g , a Shan-fu cf the same ; the first wore a blue button, and ranks abut as high as a lien'.-colonel, the second were a crystal knob, and ranks as high as major. It'hey stayed on felled the Mississippi an hour, and then dff to the Furious, where their boat ren aim d a!ongside drily a short time. In neither case did they see the plenipotentiaries. Poor fellows, thee' , feel that they are ie a bad position, for the responsibiiity rests with them o drive all these ships away from the coast, and if any sebseqeent evils come upon the country through their rot:lane:se, they will be visited for it _ with disgrace, if with nothing worse. "Next day about noon the Shanghae boat returned from the month of the river, where she had remained all night immediately undir the forts ; the tide and wind Were against her, and the party on board bad rather a rough night of it, not being prepared for a bivouac. The notice of our arrival and intentions was delivered to nn officer, who was brought down to the beach over the thud on men's shoulders, and took the paper, promising to return an answer in the morning. None was brought, however, nor did any boat come off with provisions. Tee forts had a considerable number of men in them, but apparently not an extra getrisor. 'On the beach the : eons were trained so as to fire on hey vessel entering the r.ver, and inn we; a at work erecting a new fort, which, 'tete the old oues, seeined to be made oftne purest tnurf, bet this perhaps'ruight be found to be mixed with some stone or limb r. "'.he cheonel was found to be shallow indeed, only five feet on the 'bar, which at low water was dry on both sides of it, leavieg less than half a mile passage. Thus ehal!ow water is a better defence to Peking than all the forts and troops in the cocney. at will prove a great obetaele in the way of future trade with Tietetsin and the tnetrepolie It was found that the channel had 'Altered somewhat since the survey made by the John Hancock in 1854, but. bad not deepened at ell anywhere. "In the of ernoon of Toesday, the French Minister arrived from Shangha-o in the Audacieuse, with a gun , boat in company. - " The calm plea , ant morning of the 233 was rendered even more charming by the change from the b iisterous weather of Tenrsday ; everybody looked happy, and even the gulls chirped more merrily as they flew about us. During the day two civi lane, of higher rink than the ter) military men Chin and Chang, came off to the Russian steamer ; and the French gunboat went into the river, proceeding up to the forts, Several confer enc,s were held, and notes passed between the four mi. , nisters, one and another visiting here and there. "Ey eight o'cicc's next morning (Saturday) messen gers from the four ministers were on their way for the chore, each with a letter addressed to the governor-gene ral of the province of Chihli, and enclosing another for the Prime Minister Yu,granting the Chinese Government time to send out an envoy. The four boats in which the t n ow ro ed we to d t i h n e to mouth the stream r m i v e e s r s e b n y g e t r h s e p s r a c n e e e y d t w h e e y re together. 'As they advanced towards the forts, a large concourse of people, trce)ps, and officers, and others, I were assembled along the shore—numbering perhaps 2,000 persons, moat of them drawn together by curiosity. Some tents were erected near the torts, one of them a large and imposing one, like a marquee, and other things indicated the presence of an officer of some rank higher than any before seen. The LleuteColonel Chin, who cline off to the ships en Monday, came down to the wharf to receive the letters. Both he and those with him ex pressed such disinclination to have the foreigners come on shore, that the latter agreed to avoid any irritating procedure by hrndiog him the letters from 'their boats— the to :v receding tide having interposed a few feet of muddy bank between them, not easily or pleasantly to be passed over. All the letters were received by the Chi nese officer, who conversed pleasantly enough with the foreigners. After a few words they all returned out of the river, and on reaching the Slaney their boats were towed back to the ships. "It is not known how many junks have passed up into the river, but if the Lumber of vessels which have gone in and out since our arrival is an index of the usual commerce of the river and city, Tien-tsin must be,the en trepot of a large t:ade. The junks are of all sizes, some apparently small coasting boats, coming aar o o s the gulf from Liautung, while the largest ones are like those sees; in the Canton river for size, and are perhaps grain juukS from the south. No obstacles have been yet placed in their way; and though note came off to any ship with provisions, they seem to fear no danger, as, in fact, there is none yet to h ar. Their rulers, however, must apprehend something, fur they are throwing up a new mud fort near the others, and are arming the old ones with guns of dif firentsiz)s, vat yi g fit m C a mundere to 42-pounders, many of them brass. They had better turn these latter to a better u e, by casting them into cash, than trying to de fend this river, where they are hkely to lose therm. In the forts and along the beach there are more than 100 pieces of artillery. "The French admiral arrived on the 25th, augmenting the number of ships by the addition of the Nemesis and four small steamers. Oa that day the Russian Minister visited two high Chinese officers, who had reaohed Ta-ku the day before. One was '['sung-lun, a Manchu, a vice president or shillang of the Hu-Po, or board of revenue, and etc led superintendent of the grain and granaries atd the capital, and one cf the persons formerly appornte to confer with Mr. Arleen() and Sir J.
