gaged in strengthening their defences. Major Nelson remained with a small force in a secure position close by, and harassed them in their operations, by firing shot and shell into the pahs from two 8-inch guns. On the 4th July a proclamation was issued by Colonel Gold for the removal from the town of all persons incapable of bearing arms; the central portion of the town had been previously fortified by entrenchments, blockhouses, and, otherwise, in anticipation of an attack by the rebels. They bad advanced within ten miles of the town. On the 27th, a large force of artillery, and detachments of the 12th and • 40th, started early to take up a position at Omata, to check the onward progress of the rebels, who, when last seen, were a thousand strong, including women and children, who had accompanied the expedition..to attack New Ply mouth. No less than ten pahs had been erected in their rear, each capable of holding one hundred men, to cover their retreat in case of non-success. The rebels had sworn that in the event of failing in their attempt on - the town, they would destroy everything upon European territory, and kill whomsoever they caught in their way. Firing had been heard for several days in succession in the direction of their position. Some slight skirmishes had taken place between the troops and the rebels, who were very daring at night in their attempts to drive off live stock from the farmers. Two 'atrocious murders are recorded. We take the following extracts from one of the Taranaki journals : " Tuesday, July 31.—1 n consequence of some informa tion received from Bell Block that the rebels were in force there, the light company of the 65th, under Lieut.-Colonel Murray, marched out this morning, and were followed in the course of the day by Captain Barton's company with two guns and six artillerymen. It was rumoured that the rebels were in numbers in the bush, and as an at tack on the town was to be apprehended, the militia and volunteers were called together, and strong out-lying piquets told off. Before dark strong lines of sentries were posted, and extra piquets stationed in commanding positions ready to resist attack. " Wednesday, Ist August.—From Wanganui, a corres pondent writes—' A report is in town this morning (28th) that the rebels have now completely hemmed you all within the town, and that they hold possession of the Waiwakaiho bridge. The news was brought in by Aperahama of Waito tara, and we think it may be true, as from the last accounts the Ngatiruanuis and Taranakis had determined upon at tacking your town. We have also' heard that they have possession of the Hua stockade, and have killed many more soldiers. A letter was received yesterday from Welfare, which was brought down the river, gig izig the natives an account of the fight at Puketakauere. It states that 200 soldiers were killed, and only five Maories, and that the dead bodies of our men were left on the ground for the pigs and sea gulls (keroro).' This evening the 65th detachment returned to town from the Bell Block. " Thursday, 2d.—A skirmish with the rebels took place on Tuesday, when they came down to the beach and endea voured to cut off a party of marines escorting carts with firewood. The rebels also endeavoured to shoot some of Tiera's natives, who had been out fishing, as they were pul ling up the river. An ambush of two hundred natives prevented the forces from the stockade following up the rebels, and on proceeding to support the marines, received several volleys, and the force retired, having suc ceeded in bringing in the escort. No casualties on our side. Some of the natives were seen to fall, So close• did they follow our men that - they came within range of the blockhouse, and their shots fell over the steamer into the river. Two or three shells were fired into them and they retired. A reinforcement of the 12th marched to the Bell Block this afternoon, in command of Captain Queade. The head-quarters of the 40th moved this evening from the parade ground, and took possession of Fort Murray, vacated by the 12th. " Friday, 3d.—At an early hour this morning H.M.'s colonial steam sloop Victoria anchored in the roadstead, from Melbourne, after a passage of eight days. She brings Major-General Pratt, C.B. ; Lieut.. Colonel Carey, Deputy- Adjutant-General; Lieut. Foster, R.A., A.D.C.; Deputy- Inspector-General of Medical Department, J. Mouat, C. 8., Capt. Pasley, R.E., and fifty men of the 40th Regiment. At ten a.m. the General landed under a salute of thirteen guns from Maraland Hill. A guard of honour of the 65th, in command of Capt. Turner, was on the beach at eight a.m., with the band and the colours of the regiment, but by the General's request the compliment was dispensed with. The men disembarked in the course of the morning, and were played to Fort Murray by the 65th band. From in telligence brought into town by a courier from Ornate this morning, we are led to fear that two more lives have been sacrificed. Yesterday afternoon (we are informed), John Harford, farmer, of Ornate, left the Omata stockade with the intention of calling at the camp on Jury's Hill, for three artillerymen, who were to accompany him as far as his farm in the bush. Towards night one of the latter came back by Honeyfield's Hill, through Rata pihipihi, and stated that several yaks were fired by some natives upon them, when they all separated, ho run ning through the bush, and reaching the camp as described. A second artilleryman also ran, and succeeded in making the length of the camp in the middle of the night, but nothing has been seen or heard of Harford or the other artilleryman. This morning Capt. Burton rode up the camp, and arranged with Major Hutchins to send a guard of ten men with his party to search for the men. The escort had not returned at our latest advice& A number of Pohara ma's natives proceeded to-day, at the request of the autho rities, to Ninie pah, and succeeded in recovering 70 sheep driven off the Bell Block by the rebels. They did not meet with any opposition. 6 p.m.—The armed expedition sent in search of Harford and Gunner Gaffney have returned, and confirm the worst forebodings. Gaffney was found dead in a gully near Harford's house, much mutilated about the head and body by tomahawks, but without any gunshot wounds. The body has been brought into town by an escort. No trace of Harford could be discovered, but there is no doubt of his fate. He loaves a wife and nine children (refugees at Nelson), to mourn his untimely end I It has transpired that Minarapa, one of the perpetrators of the first Ornate murders, told a woman of the Poutoko (T. Wiremu's pah), this morning that he had killed two white men yes terday. Saturday, 4th, 1 p.m.—At 10 o'clock this morning the alarm guns from Moreland Hill and Mount Elliot were fired, and the bugles called together the troops and militia, a messenger having arrived in town reporting that the natives were in force in the rear of the Colonial Hospital in the town belt, and that a combined movement was to be made on the town. Intelligence also in town that the troops were engaged on the Bell Block. The troops and militia under arms, in readiness to move to any point. The women and children flocked to the barracks from all points. A reconnoitering party of friendly natives report that the rebels have fallen back in the bash, after pillaging several houses and strip ping a large quantity of lead from the house of Mr. T. w. Richardson, of Waiwakahaio." On the 10th July, at Auckland, the meeting of loyal ehiefe to confer with the Governor on the present position tad prospects of native affairs, commenced. His E xce ll ency vas accompanied by Mr. M‘Lean, Native Secretary, the Chief Justice, the Colonial Secretary, and the other mem bers of the Ministry, together with several of the most emi 4ent colonists. Chiefs were present to the number of 127, relresenting a majority of the most influential tribes. Lis Excellency made a lengthy address in opening the confetatee. After reminding the chiefs of the conditions of and their obligations under the treaty of the Waitangi ; and renewing the assurances of royal protection to the natives, he asked them to state frankly their grievances, and if they were real he promised to try to redress them. He then continued : " There is also a subject to which I desire to invite your special attention, and in reference to which I wish to receive the expression of your views. For some time past certain persons dwelling to the south of Auckland hav e b een endeavouring to mature a pro j ect , which, if carried into effect, could only bring evil upon the heads of all concerned in it. The framers of it are said to desire that the Maori tribes in New Zealand should com bine together and throw off their allegiance to the Sove reign whose protection they have enjoyed for more than 20 years, and that they should set up a Maori king, and declare themselves to be an independent nation. Such ideas could only be entertained by men completely ignorant of the evils they would bring upon the whole native race, if carried into effect. Whil e t h e promoters of this scheme ' confined themselves to mere t a lki ng, I did not think it ne cessary to notice th eir proceeding s , b elieving that if al lowed time to consider, they, would a b andon so futile and dangerous an undertaking. This expectation has not been fulfilled. At a recent meeting at Waikato some of the leading who is in arms s autho rity, should be supported b.- men proposed that Wiremu . Ringi, to T and hes e ewnh aliasoactduaeslilrye against the Queen' re inforcements from the tribes who acknowledg e the Maori king, and armed parties from went to Taranaki for this to assume an authority over other New Zealand tribes in their relations with the Government, and contemplate the forcible subjection of those tribes who refuse to recognise their authority. Under them circumstances, I wish t o know your views and opinions d is tinctly, in y, order that I may give correct informat ionto our So vereign. It is unnecessary for me to rem ind in that her Majesty's engagements to her native subjects nNew Zea land have been faithfully ob s erved. No foreign enemy has visited your shares. Your lands have remained in your possession, or have beon b oug ht by the Government at your own desire. Your people have availed themselv es of their privileges as Briti s h su bj ec t s , see ki ng a nd obtaining in the courts of law that protection and redress which they afford to all her Majesty's subjects. But it is right you should know and understand that, in return for these ad vantages, you must prove yourselves to be loyal and faith ful subjects, and that the establishment of a Maori King would be an act of disobedience and defiance to her Majesty which cannot be tolerated. It is necessary for the preser vation of peace in every country that the inhabitants should acknowledge one head. I may frankly tell you that New Zealand is the only colony where the aborigines have been treated with unvarying kindness. It is the only colony where they have been invited to unite with the colonists, and to become one people under one law." It is but just to say that when the chiefs spoke, on sub sequent days, they were for the most part anxious to prove their loyalty. Some, however, showed a desire to have their own Sovereign ; and one in particular, by way of compro mise, expressed his favour for a Queen. THE BATTAE OF 131,71 i.UTAXAVERE.—It is important to correct a passage in our account of the battle at Puketa kauerc, which was founded on imperfect information, to the effect that the Maories on that occasion stood the bayo net charge of the soldiers of the 40th Regi ment. The most reliable information contradicts this statement. On the occasion of the advance of the sol diers and blue jackets to the charge, the natives re mained in cover, till our men were within 20 yards of them, and then discharging their double barrelled guns turned about and ran. An officer, to whom a shower of bullets is no novelty, states in lively language—" I have seen fellows cut and run before, but never as these did ; they leapt like kangaroos ever the tutu and fern." To this hour it is im possible to give a trustworthy estimate of their loss ; and it will probably ever remain so. It may bo observed that the native accounts, even from the most thoroughly loyal, must be taken with allowance for the feeling of fellowship in race; every man must (naturally take pride in the skill of those of his own blood. Our less was exaggerated by the Maories, and doubtless they make the least of theirs. The troops were engaged for two hours and more, firing on the enemy at no great distance, and a short delay in the arrival of succour from W. Kingi, would probably have put our men in possession of the pah. The artillery practice seems to have been unpleasantly warm, and there was an evident inclination to evacuate the position entirely. From these circumstances, and remembering the deadly discharge of canister into a claster of them, the reader must form his judgment. The only part of the British force which was at all disordered was the party of the Grenadier Company under Lieut. Brooke, who were greatly outnumbered, and scattered in swampy ground under a galling fire from the heights and scrub around them. MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets have been rather inactive during the last few days, and, except for tallow, which has exhibited considerable fluctuation owing to the extensive speculative trans actions, prices have not varied to any important extent. In tea the dealings have been limited, as both buyers and sellers have deferred their opera tions until the arrival of advices by the overland mail, and which are expected to influence prices at the public sales which commence to-day. Sugars have been in moderate demand, at former rates. For coffee the inquiry have been on a limited scale, the chief feature to notice being the deficiency in the stock,—viz., 3,600 tons compared with that of the same period of last year. Rice has been in better demand, and there has been more inquiry for fruit and spices. The public sales of indigo have proceeded without any material alteration in the rates realised at the commencement of the series. The tallow market has been very excited, the advance, owing to specu lative transactions, amounting at one time to ss. per cwt. A slight reaction, however, has since taken place, owing to the large increase in the stocks by recent importations. In the Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, busi ness was moderately active, and prices were firm: The sales amounted to about 10,000 bales. There were no withdrawals of gold from the Bank of England yesterday. An instalment of 8 per sent. is due to•day on the Canadian Loan of £2,800,000. It appears by the latest advices from Australia that the following gold ships had left for this country, viz.: the Ottawa, with £91,420; the Swiftsure, with £282,490; and the Water Nymph, with £321,800. The traffic receipts of the Great Western Rail way of Canada for the week ending the 28th ult. exhibit an increase of £3,281 compared with the same period in 1859. Should the New Grenadian Bondholders, at the meeting to-morrow, reject the proposition made by the Government for the settlement of the debt, the Spanish American Committee will introduce another basis of arrangement, and, if the latter be adopted, a further delay will arise from its trans- mission to the republic for approval. Both projects are now before the public. The Government pro pose a conversion of the Active and Deferred Bonds, with the arrears of dividend, into Active Stock, bearing 2 per cent. interest, for the payment of which an offer is made of 25 per Cent. of the import duties, the moiety of the revenue derived from the Panama and,Coln Railway received by the Government; and, lastly, the re venue obtained from the leasiag of certain silver and emerald mines. The committee agree to a conversion as above, but require the assignment of 25 per cent. of the custom duties until 1866, and 37-1 from that date until the complete redemption of the debt, and also that certificates shall be given to the bondholders to receive waste lands of the e Confederation, viz., about 50 acres for every £lOO of Active, and about 37} acres for each £lOO Deferred Bond. The transactions in the market for Pablic Securi- ties to-day have been limited, the speculators not si c being disposed t o con ti nue opera ti ons f or a d ec li ne st upon a large scale aft er th e d e p rec i a ti on which a te has already occurred.

The coroner (Mr. Humphreys) this morning resumed, at the Railway Tavern, Gore-road, Stepney, the inquiry re specting the death of Mrs. Mary Emsley, who was found brutally murdered at her residence in Grove-road. The man Mullins, who stands accused of the crime, was not on this occasion present, and the interest which the former investigations have excited seemed totally to have subsided, owing, no doubt, to the circumstance of his com mittal to Newgate by Mr. Selfe, the magistrate at the Thames Police-court. The witnesses examixed this morning were the niece of the murdered woman, Mrs. Gottz, whose evidence, it will be recollected, went to show that a certain key found in the possession of Mullins was given to him by Mrs. Ems ley the day previous to her death. Michael Gafferey also repeated his evidence as to the excited state of Mullins after t he murder had been discovered, and Mrs.F uke again stated the effect of a conversation she had with Mullins about the penurious habits of the deceased, when he said it was a great pity such a miserable old witch should be allowed to live. Mr. Wood, who attended for Mullins, put several ques. tions to the witnesses, in cross-examination, but did not elicit anything that in any way altered the charge against his client. Tho Coroner, at great length, summed up the evidence, and the jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against Mullins, POLICE INTELLIGENCE --(THIS' DAL MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ASSAULTS THROUGH CRINOLINE.—Mary Ann Stuart, a female of about 30, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting James Reid and Thomas Abrams, two bands men of the Coldstream Guards, St. George's Barracks, and also with smashing the hat of Police constable Chapman, 79 C. Reid said he had just entered a publifehouse having been practising with the band at St. George's Barracks, at about 9 the previons night, when the prisoner, without any provo cation, struck him in the face. She had previously charged him and some of his companions with robbing her. Abrams said as soon as he was in the house the prisoner began abusing everybody, and then struck hini in the face. The prisoner said she was wearing crinoline at the time. It was not at all in their way, but the complainants pulled it about, and then she might have struck them. Chapman, 79 C, proved going to the public-house, and seeing the prisoner strike the complainant Reid in the face, and, on attempting to take her into custody, she knocked the crown of his hat in. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the prisoner what she had to say. Prisoner said they should have let her crinoline alone. (Laughter.) Mr. Tyrwhitt fined the prisoner 2,5. Gd. for each assault, and ordered her to pay the amount of damage to the con stable's hat LOUIS BLANC ON FOREIGN AFFAIRS. M. L. Blanc, who has lately been lecturing in Scotland, gave a lecture on Wednesday last to the working men of Glasgow on "Co-operation." Having been asked to state his views on the present posture of affairs in Europe, he gave the following exposition of his opinions:— " Many and most touching indeed have been the marks of attachment I have received from working men in Paris and other parts of France, ever since I have been in exile ; but I must confess I was hardly prepared to be so warmly welcomed as I have been by the working classes in enis country—in Glasgow, Kilmarnock, Paisley, and elsewhere; and I feel more than ever that I have absolutely nothing to regret in all the calumnies and miseries that I have brought upon myself by advocating the cause of such men. But the gentleman who has spoken has expressed a kind desire that I should give my opinion on the ' Present State of Europe.' This is rather much. Still I will do my best to satisfy your curiosity, as briefly, however, as possible for your sakes, and a little, if you will allow me to add, for my own. Be fore I enter into that great question, I beg this opportwaity to repel a most unjust charge that has been brough.l; in this country against the Provisional Government of 1848. Yes terday I was reading a letter in the AyrshireExpress, signed by a Lover of Truth,' who asked how I could reconcile the idea I entertain of the generous policy of the Provisional Go vernment with the foot that that Government in 1848 sent soldiers to Rome in order to crush the Roman rebellion? My answer is very simple, and I trust it will appear quite satis factory. It is a question of dates. The French soldiers were sent to Rome on the 27th of November, 1848, and the Provisional Government of which I formed a part had resigned its power in the eyes of the National Assembly as early as the 4th of May, that is about seven months before. As for myself, at the very moment the French soldiers were sent to Romo, not only was I not in power, but I was in exile ; I was in London. More than that, the man by whom I have been cast into exile is just the same man who sent the French soldiers to Rome, there to crush the Roman rebellion—l mean General Cavaignac. Now for the pre sent state of Europe, which I suppose means Italy, for T think at present Italy is Europe. In 1848, on hearing that Charles Albert, father of the present King of Piednrait, was about to invade Lombardy in order to snatcb. it from Austria, the provisional government immediately made up their minds to back Charles Albert, and we sent an army of 30,000 men to the foot of tho Alps, so that if the Italians happened to be defeated, they would have an I army at least to rescue them from utter destruction. What do you think the King of Piedmont did ? Re sent word to the provisional government that if wo dared so much as to cross the Alps, he would take care that we should be duly fired upon by his own soldiers. And why 1' Because, as stated on the 4th March, in a despatch, the giving of assist ance by the French to Italian independence might have I raised in Italy a feeling of cordiality towards republican principles, which was not thoroughly in keeping with the family interests of the august House of Savoy. And what was the result? Charles Albert was crushed, and the Italians were doomed a second time to be trodden upon by their oppressors. This fact, which is little known, I fear is perhaps of a nature to throw some light on the proper motive of the misunderstanding between Count Cavour and Garibaldi. The difference between them is this. Garibaldi has only in view the independence of his country, while Cavour, perhaps, has in view, together with the indepen dence of his country, the family interests of his master—two things that may be possible, but not always in accordance with liberty. There is, as I said in Paisley, a proverb that a cook should have one eye on the cupboard and another for the pot. Well, it is my idea that Cavour pays too much attention to the cupboard, and not enough to the pot. However, Victor Emmanuel has earned for himself the reputation of a great patriot, and it is not fair to pass a hasty sentence on his readiness to follow the advice of his diplomatic advisers. As to the question itself, it appears to me that the great difficulty lies in the presence of French soldiers in Rome. I cannot help thinking that to attack the French soldiers in Rome would be, on the part of Gari baldi, a step of a nature perhaps to imperil the cause of Italian independence. On the other hand, it is impsssible for Italy to become a united nation with Rome as its head, its heart, the Eternal City, continuing to be the stronghold of despotism, the den of Popery. No ; and the great ques tion is, how are the French soldiers to leave Rome ? Un fortunately, this is a great difficulty, because the French ruler, as such, is interested in preventing the formation in the south of Europe of a mighty nation ruled by principles incompatible with those on which his own power is known to rest. He is interested in preventing the formation of a mighty nation capable of counteracting, on the continent of Europe, the influence of despotism as exercised by such governments as Russia, Germany, and I am sorry to say, France. What, therefore, must bo dons ? Public opinion in this country is immense, powerful, and, when ener getically and unanimously expressed, irresistible. It is my impression that it must depend on you to impel the British Governritent to obtain from Louis Napoleon the withdrawal of the French sol diers from Rome. Public opinion, firmly declared on this particular point, would have a great effect, not only on the British Government, but on the French ruler himself, be cause he is evidently anxious at this moment to keep fair with Great Britain; and if he were convinced that the withdrawal of the French troops from Rome is a conditio sine qua non of friendly alliance with England, it is my opinion that he would be wise enough to withdraw his troops from Rome. No better kind of assistance could, in my opinion, at the present moment bo given to Garibaldi than that which you British people call so energetically a public agitation,' for by that Garibaldi will be indebted to you for the independence of Italy. He is an Italian Wal lace, because, by fighting with such magnanimous heroism in the cause of the independence of his country, he is, in fact, also in intention, fighting the cause of European free dom."

MARSEILLES, OCT. 15. The allied troops reached the Peiho on the Ist August. They are established at Pehtang, having found the northern and southern forts there eva cuated.

My last was dated from Tah-lien-Whan, and we were thri in expectation. Our hopes had indeed been cheered by the advent of Lord Elgin, and we le,oked forward to some definite movement, whi c h has at last been taken. It is now too late to s p ea k about the time wasted during this summer season, as we have at last a chance given us, and, like honest Sancho Panza, we must not look too closely at our gift horse. If neglect has been the prelude, energy must now compensate for it, unless all con cerned with the direction of this undertaking are willing to accept the odium which must attach to those who lose great opportunities and trifle with their nation's interests. They seem now willing enough to work, and therefore let us give some little commendation when it is desenred. On the 26th of last month we started from. Tah-lien-Whan, the day when the steam fleet moved to Odin Bay, to be ready to render assistance to the numerous sailing vessels which were employed by the Government. We left en masse for the Peiho ; and if the Chinese were on the watch, it was a sight sufficient to awaken their gravest apprehensions. Not less than 250 sail of English vessels left, in such admirable order that nothing was to be desired ; and we had a fair opportunity, at last, for giving credit to our admiral for something done. Could he always be sure of conducting other matters as well as he conducted that, then would we say that we had at last the right man in the right place, and some confidence would be exhibited by those under him. As far as I can gather, he now is followed with that heroic devotion which is part of our countrymen's pride—when they will sooner support mental in competence, and perish for want of a better leader, than raise a cry against one whose personal cou rage cannot for a moment be disputed. The command of the military is in Sir Hope Grant's hands, and if report speaks truly, we need no better soldier. The landing of the troops ne cessarily occupied some time ; this has been effected. most satisfaetorily. I should here mention that the main body of the fleet is at anchor about five miles from the shore. The land is so low that it is hardly perceptible, and although every top was filled with men and officers, it was two days before any reliable information could be obtained. The following, however, may be quoted as authentic :-- THE RECONNOITRE. On reaching the shore to the north of the Peh tangforts, a large body of Tartar cavalry was disco vered, which had been despatched from an entrenched camp some few miles inland. It was at first thought that they would render the undertaking one of some difficulty; but upon firing some three or four rounds of shell and shot, they very quietly rode back again, leaving the coast undefended. The French, whose force on this occasion was larger than the English, rapidly effected their purpose, and the Ehglish were not long in following their example ; some slight skirmishing took place with a portion of the enemy, in which we had some fourteen wounded; these all amongst the military, one, Capt. Great head, being, I regret, seriously so. On the next day, or the following, they proceeded to advance against the forts, the gun-boats, from their light draught of water, being able to go up the shallow river which forms the false mouth of the Peiho here. These forts were, to all appearance, well supplied with guns, and a considerable resistance was expected. You may judge, then, of the sur prise of the forces to find them utterly undefended. The English then proceeded to occupy them, but did so cautiously, thinking it not unlikely, from the known character of the Chinese, that some trap was laid, and it was fortunate that it was so,for before entering the first fort, the man who was reconnoi tring found the bridge across the dry ditch which surrounds it trembling with his weight, and, upon a careful examination being made, it was shown to be so constructed with levers, &c., as to form a large hammer, which, on the rush of any body of men, would have exploded some detonating powder in communication with a large quantity of gun powder, effectually destroying fort and all within it. Of the guns found some were only wooden dum mies, but a large supply of Chinese rockets was there, and the soldiers amused themselves by ex pending these harmlessly in the air. With the exception of the occupation of three such forts, we have hitherto done nothing but make preparations for the march inland, and the first attack of real c o nsequence w ill be begun tomor row.feint on The first w ill, I am i n formed, be a the part of the military, and if this draws entrenched camp I spoke a before; a n attack upon the and off their attention from the forts th e g unboats will from their number and begin a bombardment, the weight of the guns they carry, will, I fa ncy , rather astonish John Ch inaman. AR easy v i ctory is not e xpec ted, for it seems pretty well known th a t many of the e ngineers are Russi ans and not Chinese. rrh ph e safe et .landing forts,o a t n h a the e troops,i their occupat i on 0 f the skirmish with some Tartar cavalry is the sum total of the news. Specu lation is rife as to the probable issue o f th e next with which the Taku vi s t e ps, as upon the r ap idi ty forts are overcome de pendsrtually the length of the campaign. If we occupy them after an a tt a ck lasting but a day or two, we may hope t o d a t e f rom Pekin this p ear; if tude ar e siege op era ti ons o f any magni necessary, we shall have to wait another season. every Nearly one is heartily sick of the inactive life they have been leading since the com mencement of the expedition.
