ACCOMMODATION IN LOAN TRANSACTIONS.—OnIy one-half of the Annual Premium, when the insurance is for life, requires to be Paid for the first five years, simple interest being charged on the balance. Such arrangement is equivalent to an immediate advance of 50 per cent. upon the Annual Premium, without the borrower having recourse to the unpleasant necessity of procuring sureties, or assigning and thereby parting with his Policy, during the cur rency of the loan, irrespective of the great attendant expenses in such arrangements. The above mode of insurance has been found most advantageous When policies have been required to cover monetary transactions, Or when incomes applicable for insurance are at present limited, as it only necessitates half the outlay formerly required by other com panies before the present system was instituted by this office. Loans are granted likewise on real and personal securities. ADVANTAGE OF INSURING BEFORE DEC. 31, 1858.—Policies effected before this date will participate to a greater extent than if delayed after that period.

THE SECRET INFIRMITIES OF YOUTH f AND MATURITY. , rt‘st published, price 19., post free, in an Envelope, for 13 stamps, SELF-PRESERVATION : A Medical Treatise on the Functions and Disorders of the Generative System, and on the Cure of Nervous and Physical Debility, resulting from vicious habits acquired during the critical passage from Youth to Manhood, with practical observations on the Physiology of Mar riage in its social, moral, and physical relations. To which are added, remarks on the wonders of the Microscope in revealing the hidden mysteries of "Life within Life," and its advantages in de tecting, by urinary examination, the cause and effect of every variety of these complaints, with numerous engravings and cases. BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD SQUIRE, LONDON, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Nernbcr of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated Without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret eacceed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those pe nalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be 'removed, and how the evil and its consequences may he avoided, .and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical intir- Yl4:ty or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science ean,aot apply a cure.

THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTILE.- It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious article of animal diet first made its appearance ; and already 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 willcease. A few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." He 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 wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, awl in the course of a few weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agricultural show at Birmingham, Cardiff, &0., the animals which carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thorley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own in trinsic merits, and the great demand for it can proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, fora pamphlet which is sent post-free. 910 THE NERVOUS AND DEBILITATED.

If the times had permitted it, M. d'Azeglio would have made no difficulty in showing to every one:the smallest act of his administration. He would not have seen any obstacle in se conducting himself, as that ancient Roman desired to construct his house so that every thing could be seen that happened within. It is from this poipt of view that the administration of M. d'Azeglio is without parallel. One may find in others a more remarkable spirit of activity, of progress—but dignity of con duct, loyally of action will nowhere be found in so eminent a degree as with him. Loyalty is not the only mark of this administration—this virtue was united to much political wisdom. M. d'Azeglio was of opinion that rapidity could only be applied to that which had been matured slowly. He thought that in going too fast ruin followed on successes too easily obtained. In his opinion the art of politics consisted less in acquired know ledge and preliminary study than in the gift of discernment and just appreciation of circumstances and things. Incapable of enthusiasm in questions of governing, he was firm in his designs. Like the Prince Talleyrand, he had the rare merit of knowing how to wait—to seek net the shortest but the surest way of attaining the desired end, and to make a vain able auxiliary of time. This prudence on his part, which was besides a natural result of the situation in which was placed the government he directed, was not the prudence of the prudent—as the Scriptures call it with derision—but the prudence of wisdom and of forethought, which is a proof of strength, not an effect of weakness. "Bark but little, bite hard," was the system of M. d'Azeglio, such as he explained it to be himself one day in one of his conversations. This system accords perfectly with that which be exposed to the Senate of the kingdom, not two years ago, with this very significant comparison—" Do not pull your corn to make it grow; you will tear it up, and have to resow your ground." M. d'Azeglio was fully convinced that in politics there is no greater fault—according to M. Guizot, no graver error— than to over-excite the hopes of the people, or to open be fore their imagination as their ready conquest a perspective which they will probably never reach, and to which they can only arrive, in any case, by slow steps. It is generally believed that what is called Italian policy only dates from M. de Cavour. It is true that the actual President of the Council has known how to create the op portunity to follow out this policy, and had been able to make good use of it. Bat it would be unjust to say that his predecessor did not see the same state of things. Only, always conforming to his system of not barking, he contented himself with promoting this policy in his diplo matic relations ; because, provided that he could find Great Powers favourable, he was persuaded that the most difficult part of the enterprise was accomplished. To cite an exam ple, we quote a passage from a confidential letter which he wrote to M. de Collegno, in Paris, on the 25th July, 18521 " I hasten to tell you that I find the replies which you have made to the Marquis de Turgot no less just than right on the subject of the pretended preparations of an early Mazzi nian movement in some part of Italy. In fact, happily we have no reason to fear any attempt of this kind in Piedmont ; and, as I have already taken the opportunity to tell you, if the least disorder were produced, it would be immediately and severely put down. But lam persuaded that it is not the plots of those affiliated to the Mazzinian sect which are to be feared at this moment : they are unable to do any thing. But it is a truth that I have constantly repeated, and on which I cannot too much insist, that no one serves more the cause of Mazzini and of his party than the governments of the other parts of Italy who, in returning to a system which served them so little in the past, will not comprehend that people require a just and loyal government, if they are not to be forced from very de spair to throw themselves into the chance of disorders and revolutions. Do not the facts show us the evidence of this truth l Can one contrast the enormous difference which exists between the interior condition of the other States of Italy and that of Piedmont ? There you find conspiracies and intrigues for a political change; whilst, on the con trary, here, where there is liberty—sought in vain else where—order, tranquillity, and prosperity reign, and one can assert without hesitation that Mazzini and his adher ents find here no sympathy." To have the right to speak in that manner, M. d'Azeglio was of opinion that it was indispensable to follow an irre proachable policy in the interior ; and it is to this policy that his efforts and those of the Cabinet over which he pre sided tended constantly. He declared frankly in the Cham ber, at the sitting of the nth February, 1851 : " The policy of the exterior is based on that which is followed out and carried out in the interior : a good internal policy is the best support which that of the exterior can have ; because the best support that the in- ternal policy can have is the reputation of the country to which it belongs. The first rule in all the affahs of this world is to take the world as it is, and to see what is the state of Europe, what is the state of European society, which are the means which cause success or failure, so as not to be more Spartan than the rest of Europe." M. Casimir Perrier had already expressed a similar senti meat when, on the 18th March, 1831, lie said to the Chamber—" External policy is bound up, in fact, with in ternal policy. For both the bane and the antidote are the same." The speeches we have cited in the course of this work are almost the only ones that M. d'Azeglio has made in Parlia ment. He did not understand the speeches of a Minister otherwise than as acts of government. It was therefore only the accomplishment of a duty or the necessity of a situation which induced him to speak. When some obscure orator attacked his policy lie rose to defend it if he thought it necessary; but he raised the question to the height of his principles, and he entirely forgot his adversary. It was only when some great orator attacked him that he descended to the ground to which they called him. Mirabeau had the same deference towards Barnave as also M. de Cha teaubriand had for General Foy. Witlicut being an orator M. d'Azeglio was eloquent. He had not that flow of im provisation which contradiction provokes, which dazzles and overpowers from the height of the tribune, according to the expressions of M. de Lamartine ; but what he said carried with it the stamp of originality, of vivacity, grace, power, and pride, joined to dignity, moral grandeur, and prudence. Sometimes the words fell colourless from his lips, but the idea which he wished to express was always faithfully given. More frequently, bevertheless, be united a flow of language to a great naturalness of images : there was nothing studied ; and in the spontaneousness of his speech a reflection of his own nature appeared. Speeches sometimes given without emphasis, as in a private conver sation, produced still more effect when read : lie gained the next day the success which great orators ob►ain at the mo ment. The vivacity of his ideas could be better appreciated : the thoughts presented themselves more completely : the transitions appeared more sudden : the periods more har monious, and the simplicity of his elocution more simple still.—Post. ~- - ~"' - oe z"" de `, ' -'-- PRICE 4D, STAMPED, SD. 4e- Q T _ sion and threats of appeal to England Lord Elgin succeeded at last in making the Admirals act, and that, even when they did yield, it was with the proviso that they would not bind themselves to do more than take the batteries of Taku, and convoy the e A tni m iew h yo u sue s le a dm do s no esa c h fe o dt v h e teh t aw h t eatyheeunspe dtreasnpceer,ai'e because iiinain to Tien- t sin. i lip " e f t v e e e e n i l .y m c i o uch i However, the forts fell, and although only one solitary barrier of junks existed between Taku and Tien-sin, we were one week going up from one to th e other, and in ' that distance of " thirty miles, as the crow flies," never met with anything resembling opposition, and o ur sole difficulty lay in getting along the allied admirals and th e F rench gunboats. The former would keep stopping to reconnoitre to their front, and clear away junks from their rear, and the latter succeeded in grounding, as usual, at every turn in the stream. We at last got up to the heart of Tien-sin, and the boats of the Furious and the Pique had the honour of being the first European craft in the northern entrance of the great canal. Beyond Tein-sin the first division (Staunch, Bustard, and Kestrel) explored the Peiho for about 10 miles further towards the town of "Yang-swan," finding the water to diminish so much as to render any hut the smallest.sizod gunboats unavailable for an advance on Tung-chow, and they only by being lightened to four feet by taking out the heavy anchors, cab:es, stores, see., which were put into them for deep-sea cruising, but which Captain Hall will not let them dispense with iu these still waters. However, it will be time enough to talk of going to Tung-chow when the admirals can be brought to see any necessity for going there—a fact which -ims by mo means d awned upon their faculties up to the present time. They are perfectly astonished at their own hardihood in getting up thus far.. If you ask what we sailors thigh, we are all of one opinion. We declare that the superfluous caution exercised in the advance on Tientsin, the Wide in which we have located ourselves on its waters, without marching through the city, hoisting our colours on its walls or otherwise showing ourselves masters of it, all tend to show the Chinese that there is a want of confidence in our own strength. And as if to encourage them to perpetrate the same acts of aggression as at Canton in the olden day, we are fast re-embarking all our seamen and Marines in the vessels which are in the Gulf of Pecheli, turning the gun boats into a Pekin Black Ball Line, and allowing the Chi nese to go on just as if we were, what they say we are, a set of piratical traders in broadcloth, who have no quarrel with the Emperor, but a series of local quarrels, ohe day with Yela at Canton, and on another with Tang at Taku. Unless we have a casus belli, we had no right to touch Taku or attempt to force a way within Chinese fortifications, and if we had one, we are distinctly wrong and inconsistent In quitting a warlike attitude until redress had been gained. Taku is just 25 per post from Pekin (we are certain of that), and yet, althoug h Taku fell 14 days ago, and we have one week halfway between Taku and Pekin, it has taken the Emperor until to-day to send us a Minister to treat. Does that show they are much alarmed, or does it argue they are either in a baste to grand redress or be rid of our presence at a place supposed to be the throat of the capital? No ; had we pushed on a light division against Tune chow, held Ticu-sin as a base, sent despatch-vessels to beat up the whole coast of Chile and Shangtung, worked and kneaded these slow-thinking Tartars until they only saw one way of escape from us and our genboate, we should have a treaty such as would repay England for all her delay and expense, instead of now having to ask much and take tittle, and the amount of that little purely dependent upon the ability of Lord Elgin. He (Lord Elgin) tells everybody, as I hear, that he shall wait here until doomsday rather thau concede any of his just de mands, but we believe in our hearts that he finds the Admi ral so fail him in granting support to his ,demands that he will have to be very moderate in pressing the Imperial Cow missioner. Indeed, there is another consideration to be kept in mind. The Frenchmen can go no further in their vessels; they maintain it is now alone by military operations that Tung-chow and Pekin are to be taken or threatened, and have accordingly ordered up the shiploads of marine infan try lately arrived at Hong Kong • all that they say or wish is our Admiral's law, and it would be an awkward thing for us if, when Tung-chow was taken, or may be, Pekin, the Frenchmen played first fiddle and we the second. Howe ever, we can only hope for the best; and I must say I have considerable faith in Lord Elgin carrying us even tually through all the errors and difficulties which surround the question, and he has risen fifty-fold in all our estimation by the perseverance shown in bringing the Admirals to act at all in support of his views, against a certain Hong Kong policy of their own, which they are pleased to state is that of Great Britain and France. From the politics of this question, which I merely touch upon to put you in possession of the true state of affairs, let me turn to a more grateful subject—the river Palm and Tien-sin city. We find that the bar of hard mud at the entrance is the only impediment to navigation that exists in the Peiho, and it, I fancy, could easily be deepened by means of a dredging machine. At present only vessels of 11 feet draught may cross ; the bar is above 1,200 yards long, and then 18 or V() feet is foaed at low water to a point five miles above Taku; thence to Tien-sin 12 feet may always be counted upon, for, although here and there there is less at low water, there is considerably more at high water. The river between the sea and Tien-sin preserves an almost uniform breadth, equal to the Thames at Putney; the current is not at this season more than 11 knots per hour, but it holds a great deal of fine mud in solution. The river is remarkably winding, and the turning points very acute, but that it is easy of ascent the best proof I can give is that the Coromandel, 200 odd feet long, is now at Tien-sin. The banks of the stream are re markably well kept, and the track-paths, which are con tinuous on either side, in excellent condition, as they well need be to do the work of the thousands of Shanghai and Shantung junks we found loading and unloading through out the whole distance from Taku to Tien-sin. The river in no case up to the great canal requires artificial embank ments ; indeed, the level of the river Has considerably below that of the adjacent plains, and when at its highest only overflows the marshes, and salines below Taku. Its bed is generally a stiff, tenacious clay, and neither rock nor stone has been seen since we entered the Peiho. Tien-sin is a greet. disappointment. The city itself, situated oil the angle hes, tween the canal and the river, is only a square of about one mile on each face—a collection of mean one-storied houses, intersected at right angles by two good streets; the rest a miserable collection of lanes and hovels; walls in perfect ruins. Along the space marked with houses in Maeartney's chart, houses and salt stores still exist ; but such a miserable collection of mud hovels! orgy relieved here and there by some wealthy yamun. There ts i notwithstanding this squalor and poverty, undoubted prosfs of an immense business being done here in grain and mer chandise for the interior, and I fancy Tien-sin is like many places in Russia—a town where once a year merchants meet to buy, sell and exchange, and then depart, leaving it hql little the richer for the convenience it has afforded. My own impression is that, as a place of import, it cannot be too highly estimated. Tee 200,000 tons of rice now drawn from the South we can import far cheaper and better from Akyab or Slam. It isnot from choice that we see tens of thou sands of emaciated coolies sitting on the banks of the Peiho ready to drag our boats anywhere for a handful of Shantung beans, fit only for cattle, or black rice which has fermented in the bilge water of a Shanghai junk's hold; and if Chile has nothing but sycee silver and copper coin to give in return for our grain and pulse, so much the better that we who - pour in money to the southward for teas should be able to extract it here for something else than opium. In the Straits of Mia-ton our large vessels can unload into lorchas, or, better still, I fancy that a secure anchorage may yet be found in the She-linden Shoals, close to the Peiho, where unloading may go on incessantly. The navi gation from the latitude of the Yaug-tse-Kiang to here is the simplest a shipmaster will find. East of the Straits of Sunda any fool with a lead line and an anchor may come in safety to the entrance of the Peiho, and doubt less in good time, when the hydrographer of the Navy shall deem it worth while sacrificing the survey .of home ports to these, which are less known, we shall find souse secure harbours not only here, but elsewhere. Whence come the swarms of junks which cover daily the seas between the Shantung promontory, the Corea, and the head of the Gulf of Leotong ? The imports. here at first will mainly consist of rice, wheat, oil-cake, and flour ; cottons of a coarse description and cheap, ke American drills; woollen cloth and flannel cam lets, hardware and glass, besides articles of luxury, whether for eating, wearing, or domestic purposes; — the exports, metals, wool, hides, flax, tallow, and wood fit for spars or building. The avidity with which any European articles are sought for is most amusing. I have been offered fabu lous quantities of cash for a half-worn pair of Hong Yong boots now on my feet. THE BRITISH EXPEDITION TO CHINA 'rout the Times' Correspondent.) TIEN-SIN, JUNE 4. The day following the capture of the forts of Tungkoo, at the mouth of the Peiho River, described in my last letter, was occupied by the allied naval co mmanders-in-chief in , demolishing the torts, getting off the guns, and securing our position. A line of junks moored across the river at tie village of Takoo, about three miles from Tungkoo, served admirably as a barricade against fire-rafts, sheutd the Chi nese resort to that favourite mode of attack ; behind these our advanced gunboats were anchored. It had been inti mated to the Chinese authorities that the capture of the forts by force, in the event of their not being peaceably sur rendered, was not intended by the allied Governments to imply a hostile attitude on their parts towards the Imperial Government, but was to be regarded as a preliminary mea sure, rendered necessary to secure the safety of the ambas sadors, who, in consequence of the refusal of the Cabinet of Pekin to treat with them at a distance, had determined to proceed to Tien-sin, with th e v i ew of putting themselves more immediately into communication with the high func tionaries of the empire. Indeed, the position of Tien-sin, at the junction of the ,Grand Canal and Peiho River, its proximity to Pekin, and its importance to the capital in a mercantile point of view, all combined to induce the belief that at no city in the empire, with the exception, perhaps, of Pekin itself, can negotiations be carried on under more favourable conditions. The first duty of the naval authorities, therefore, after the taking of the forts, was to proceed on the exploration of the river for the purpose of opening the way and securing a safe transit for the allied missions to Tien sin. As they anticipated every description of natural and artificial obstruction, and conceived that the Chinese would offer a most violent resistance to their progress, they ad vanced at first but slowly. As they p rocee d e d, owever, it became apparent that these fears were groundless; the river, winding through a fiat alluvial country with richly cultivated and partially wooded banks, had an average breadth of about 200 yards, with- a depth of water at half tide 'ranging from 10 feet to 40. Villages were not very nu merous, and consisted merely of a collection of mud huts such as grace the banks of the Nile. So far from the inha bitants attempting to oppose the progress of the allies or showing signs of distrust, much less active hostility, they collected in crowds upon the banks, prostrating themselves with their foreheads to the ground as the first gunboats passed, and staring at those following with an expression of countenance peculiar to the race in which the most listless apathy is combined with the extreme of wonder and awe. The Shore was occasionally lined with these curious specta tors, who, as they invariably adopted a squatting attitude, looked like rows of penguins gazing for the first time upon some intrepid Arctic explorer. It was the first time that the "devil ship" of the barbarians had disturbed the muddy waters of the Peihe, or that the agitated pant of a 60-horse power steam-engine had aroused from noon-day siesta the placid inhabitants of its banks. But they did not content themselves with gazing at or worshipping the god of steam ; regarding it as the precursor of a power destined to over throw the present dynasty and raise itself upon its ruins they faced the decrees of fate in a spirit worthy a nation which has preserved its existence throughout changing dynasties for countless ages, and, with cries or-" Hail, great King ! wel come, ob, King ! come thou and reign over us and be our Emperor !" they brought cattle and poultry and vegetables down as presents. The pioneer of European civilization in China would fare badly if he acted on the principle of tirneo Danaos. On the 25th of May the Staunch and Bustard, leading gun-boats, containing the Marines ;and small-arm men of the Pique and Furious, under Captains Sir Frede rick Nicolson and Sberard Osborn, sighted Tien-sin, and the following day the Admirals in their respective ships, Coromandel and Avalanche, anchored opposite the town. Their success hitherto had so far exceeded their expectations that they pushed on beyond Tien-sin towards Toongchaw, the port ef Pekin, and distant only 10 ten miles from that city. The larger gun-boats were brought to a stand-still very shortly after leaving Tien-sin, but the Kestrel, of 40- horse power, with the ships' boats iu tow, succeeded in reach ing a village about eight miles above this town. Meantime other gun-boats were employed clearing the junks out of the river between Tien-sin and the mouth, so as to render it impossible for the Chinese to bar our egress by sinking junks. The crowd of these making their escape in obe dience to orders was sometimes so great as to cause as hopeless a jam as may occasionally be seen inside Temple bar. Thus was accomplished in a few days, and without the slightest difficulty, an operation which the French Admiral had declared impossible unless sup ported by a land force of 4,000 men, and which might have been as suc cess f ul l y uodertaken a month 's )(suer had not obstacles existed of a far graver character than any which the Chinese have it in their power to interpose. At this time of the year the loss of that month is most deeply to be regret ed. Already we have most disagreeable evi dence of the proximity and probable temperature of a Pekin summer. As soon as the Ambassadors were made aware of the complete success of the Admirals they determined to follow them to Tien-sin, in pursuance of their original in tention, and reached the city on the morniirg of the 30th of May. A spacious temple, occasionally used as a residence by a firmer Emperor, commanding a view of the river at its junction with the Grand Canal, and opposite the city, was appropriated for the accommodation of the French and English Ambassadors. Numbers of Chinese servants were there in attendance ; a great many of , the rooms had been newly papered, .. and the work of furbishing up was going on briskly. Baron Gros and Lord Elgin occupy two light and airy pavilions on the summit of a mound, ascended by a pathway of orna mental rockwork. Their respective staffs are scattered in sundry fragile buildings of quaint' construction, with paper walls, or have made their bedrooms in a joss -house, in which gods and goddesses are the principal articles of furniture. A spacious garden, enclosed by a wall, surrounds the whole. English and French guards occupy the outhouses and stand sentry at the principal entrances. The national flags float proudly over all, and a line of gunboats are moored within :20 yards of the windows. These consist at present of the Co romandel, Cormorant, Slaney, and Opossum (English), the Avalanche, Fusee axed Dragonne (French). The Staunch, Bus tard, and Kestrel are anchored a mile above the town, and the Leven, Woodcock, and Firm are somewhere between this and the fleet. The Woodcock and Kestrel, both 40-horse power, arrived a few days after the capture of Tungkoo. A party of the engineers have also arrived from Hong Kong in the Sampson, and are engaged in blowing up the forts, after which it is expected they will come here. Numerohs Yamuns afford abundant barrack accommodation. Notwitu standing the great variations in the temperature (the ther mometer ranges from 65 deg. to 86 deg. in the 94 hours), the health of the men continues excellent; supplies are abun dant, although some reluctance has been apparent on the part of the country people lately in bringing them in, through fear of incurring the displeasure of the authorities. Ice is a luxury in which the Chinese upper classes freely in dulge during the summer months; boats and coolies carry ing large blocks of it are constantly seen passing to and fro, and the barbarians have not been slow to avail them selves of so refreshing an article of consumption. The interior of the city has been explored, but offers few attractions to the stranger. The streets are broader than those in southern cities, the houses poorer, and the curiosity shops not to be discovered at all. The city is nearly a square, situated on the angle formed by the junction of the Grand Canal with the Peiho river; each face is about a mile long. The wall, which would offer nogreat obstacle, either from its height or solidity, to an at tacking force, is said to mount only 80 cannon. Formerly a large floating population inhabited boats on the river and canal, and an.axtensive water traffic radiated in all directions from this point. Since, however, the destruc tion of a large !portion of the Grand Canal by the eccentric course recently taken by the Yellow River, the traffic upon the smaller channels, which depended upon this main artery for their supply, has very much decreased in extent and importance. The suburbs of Tien-sin cover a great extent of ground, bet the houses are generally mere mud hats, surrounded by mud walls, between which wind narrow dirty lanes. Beyond the suburbs are kitchen gar dens and fruit trees, and then a plain, unbroken by anything higher than brickkilns, extends to the horizon. Four rivers meander thrsugh this plain, their course marked by groves of trees, and far as eye can reach stretches a vast expanse of bearded wheat undivided by fence or hedgerow. Most of the roads are raised causeweys, as a great portion owlll e le country is submerged after the rains. The ditches by. a n it is traversed in every direction are well bridged Ponies membersand mules are abundant, and some of the of the missions already take their evening rides along thel roadto Pekin. The bands of the Calcutta and Nemesis pay morn ing and evening, and collect large cr owds of admiring Chinese. The wholesome effect which this movement on Tien-sin has produced upon the Chinese Government is already apparent, and has . proved most satisfactorily the wisdom of the policy pursued by the representatives of the Four Powers, which has been to conduct negotiations at a point as near the capital as possible, so as to bring that pressure to bear upon the Imperial Government without which it is hopeless to expect its compliance with the demands of the outer barbarians, however reasonable and moderate those demands may be. The day before yesterday two new Imperial Commis sioners arrived with great ceremony from Pekiu. They were accompanied by a large mounted retinue, and followed by a train ef mule carts carrying their baggage. Th ese f u nctionaries, by name Kweiliang and Hwashana, are mandarins of the highest rank in the empire. They have announced themselves as specially empowered to treat upon all the points specified by us as subjects of negotiation by virtue of an Imperial decree, similar to that which was con ferred wpon Keying on the occasion of the last treaty, as a further proof of " which they style the mse l ves b y our manu factured word Plenipotentiary," a term unknown in their own official vocabulary. A preliminary interview has boon arranged with the British Ambassador for to-day in a build ing set apart for the purpose. Lord Elgin will be accom panied by a guard of 150 Marines and the band of the Cal cutta. Meantime it has been arranged that the Fury shall proceed to-morrow to Hong Kong for the purpose of sending up by the troop-ships Adventure and Assistance the 59th Regiment, a battalion of Marines, and some Artillery, which the arrival of the native regimen's from India and the ex pected advent of the 77th from Australia enable General Stratibeezee to spare from the garrison of Canton. Tne French Admiral is daily expecting a force of 600 Marines who have just come out teem France, so that within six weeks we may calculate upon having collected here a mili tary force t f 3,000 tnen, besides a very strong naval brigade. In the event of the tiegaations now about to he commenced terminating unsatisfactorily there will be no difficulty whatever, with this strong body of men, in marching to Pekin along the excellent road which leads to that city; and, however obstitnee and' impracticable our previous experience may lead us to be lieve the Chinese Government, we can hardly suppose it to be so infatuated as to brave the serious consequences which must accrue if it continue to resist our demands, with an army encamped beneath the walls of their capital 'prepared to enforce them. From these facts it would appear that the result of the policy pursued by the allied Governments has been to place them in an attitude which gives them a complete military command over the Imperial Government without interrupt ing the trade at any of the por s. Count Putiatine and Mr. Reed, the Russian and Atneri-_ can Ministers, are living in a yarnun which they have ren ted upon the banks of the river. CRIMINAL STATISTICS OF BOMBAY. An interesting and highly satisfactory report on the state of crime and the operations of the police iu the town and island of Bombay, for the year 1857, has been submitted to Government by the senior magistrate, Mr. W. Crawford. From this official document it appears that crime has cond. derably diminished of late, years, while a new but numerous class of petty offences has been called into existence, or rather brought to notice, by the action of the Police Acts of 1856. It is certainly creditable to a large seaport town With a population of fully 600,000 inhabitants, of all races and tongues, and mostly Asiatics, that only five cases of murder should have occurred in twelve months, and not a single public execution, except of mutineers duly punished by the military authorities. Two of these murders were of wives by their husbands—one frem jealousy, the other in a fit of passion. A wife, aged only eleven, also pleaded guilty to having poisoned her husband by mixing arsenic with flour ; but was acquitted through some flaw In the evidence. Three persons only are said to have lost their lives by manslaughter in the same period of time, and of these one was the result of a railway accident caused by the negligence of two of the officials. Of burglary, again, no more than three cases are recorded implicating seven per sons, four of whom were convicted and sentenced to im prisonment. In no one instance, however, was any personal violence offered, nor is there any mention made of rob bery attended by violence. Gang and highway robberies, likewise, appear to have been totally suppressed, and the robberies that were committed are of a petty and insignificant character. One hundred and ninety-six per sus were Charged with being concerned in 111 cases, in each of which the value of the property stolen exceeded Rs. 50 (L 5). In robberies of less amount than Rs. 50 2,204 persons were concerned or suspected, being a con siderable increase on the preceding year; but on the other hand their detection may only be a proof of the greater • vigilance and efficiency of the police. One retro gressive step, however, is acknowledged and lamented, which may partly account for the increased num ber of petty thefts the cases of drunkenness brought before the magistrates exceeded those in the preceding year by 306. Of the 3,400 persons accused of this . offence cottfro honor mores, 3,192 were found guilty and punished. As no increase whatever bad taken place in nt the number of spirit shops, it may be naturally interred tha growth of intemperance is caused rather by nn incre a se of the spirit-drinking portion of the cotumunitn - e t i n , '" by an y • that greater facilities being afforded for indulgence were de grading habit.

The report of the select committee appointed to inquire into the best mode of securing the pnblic interests, and di minishing Parliamentary expenses in reference to railway and canal legislation, has just been printed. The recom mendations of the committee are as follow : "1. That all railway and canal bills be deposited at the Private Bill-office and at the Board of Trade on or before the 23d of December, previous to the next session of Parlia ment. "2. That the examiners of petitions for private bills com merce their sittings on the 18th of January, and that they be directed by Mr. Speaker to make such arrangement for the examination of petitions as shall facilitate the introduc tion of private bills at as early a period as possible is each session. ‘" 3. That compliance with the standing orders of both houses, except the Wharncliffe order. be proved before the intrduction of a railway bill into Parliament. " 4. That an early day be fixed at the cotnmencenaent of each session, after which no railway bill shall be reed a second time without the express sanction of the house. " 5. That the panel of chairmen of committees on rail way and canal bills should be reduced to the smallest num ber consistent with the proper transaction of the business of the ses4on, such number, if possible, not to exceed five.

Sir John Laird Mair Lawrence, G.C.8., Chief Commis sioner of the Punjaub, who has been emphatically styled the man who has saved India during the recent mutiny, is a brother of the late lamented Sir Henry Lawrence, K.C.8., who was killed in the siege of Lucknow. This pair of distinguished officers of the Honourable East India Company's service are of Irish blood and extraction —like Wellington, Wellesley, M`Naghten, and a host of other distinguished names—and they are children of whom the sister island may well feel proud. Their careers have run to the last most wonderfully parallel to each other, and we may add that they have been followed at no long distance from each other by a third brother, though one less known to public fame, Col. George St. Patrick Lawrence, 2d 8.L.C., at present holding a command in Rajpootana. Of this family, the late Sir Henry Lawrence was one of the elder sons, and Sir John Lawrence one of the youngest. Their father was the late Lieut.-Col. Alexander Lawrence, an officer of the King's service, sometime Governor of Upnor Castle, aad who gained considerable distinction in the Mysore campaigns, under the Marquis Cornwallis, and in the siege of Seringapatam. Their mother—a second Cornelia, the mother of the Gracchi—was a daughter of the late Captain Knox, a member of a highly respectable family of the north of Ireland, which long held landed property in the county of Donegal. Sir John Lawrence was born in India in 1810, and re ceived his early education, like his brother, in Londonderry, and subsequently at the East India College, Haileybury. He obtained his nomination to India as a writer, April 30, 1829, and. was sworn in on the following 3d of June. On the Ist of July he received notification of his actual appoint ment, and arrived on February 9, 1830. In the early part of his career, in January, 1831, he became assistant to the chief commissioner and resident at Delhi; in December, 1833, we find him promoted to the post of officiating magis trate and collector at Delhi; from which, a year later, he was transferred to a similar appointment at Paniput. In July, 1833, be was appointed joint magistrate and deputy collector of Goorgaon and the southern division of Delhi, and in the November of the same year, officiating magis trate of the southern division only. In 1838 he was trans ferred to the sole charge of Goorgaon. Before the close of the same year we find him conducting the settlement duties in Zillah Etawah. In February, 1840, he proceeded to Europe on the usual furlough, and did not return to India until December, 1812. Up to this time Mr. Lawrence had been almost exclu sively engaged in the collection of revenue; and, owing, probably to the absence of great opportunities, his value and ability were little known except to his immediate su periors. By them, however, we know that he was duly ap preciated from the first. Having held one or two tem porary employments, in 1846 we find him already engaged as judge, magistrate, and collector, over the important din • ttict of the central division of Bengal, when his adminis trative ability attracted the attention of the Governor- General, Sir Henry Hardinge. It was not long before he had an opportunity given of making for himself a name. In 1841 he was appointed to the important post of Commissioner of the Trans-Sutlej provinces, which had been recently added to our Indian empire, as the result of the Sikh campaigns. Here he had new ground to break up, and a chaos of disorder and confusion, political, fiscal, and agricultural, to reduce into system, shape, and form. In this work he showed a masterly power of admi nistration, and a perseverance, energy, and industry which were beyond all praise. Nor was he long in looking for his reward in the shape of promotion to a more important and better paid, and (what he valued more highly still) a more laborious post. As our readers will doubtless remem ber, the assassination of the British envoys in 1848, at Mooltan, the capital of a petty State between the Indus and the Sutlej was followed by the capture of that fortress, and the subsequent union of the forces of Shere Singh apd-Ctiucker Singh. After a long and obstinate contest, the Sikhs and Affghans were finally crushed by Lord Gough at Ferozepore and Chilliauwallah, and surrendead into our bands. The issue was, that the Affghans were obliged to fly beyond the Indus, the Sikh forces were disbanded, and the Punjaub was declared by Lord Dalhousie as thenceforth annexed to the British territories in India. Of course, on the annexa tion of a new province, the first step on the part of the Governor-General is to look arouad for a'tnan of first-rate ability in an administrative point of view to bring the newly acquired territory under British laws and British rule. The functions of a Resident are naturally ipso facto at an end when a native prince is deprived of his throne, and it is usual to Invest the new magistrate 'with the title and office of chief commissioner, in which capacity he becomes directly responsible, as we have already said, to the Governor-General of India himself, instead of to one of his subordinate gover nors of presidencies. Sir Henry Lawrence had already filled the post of British Resident. at Lahore, and he and his brother, Mr. John Lawrence were nominated as two out of the three members of the board fire the administration of the Punjaub. reformed, a new coinage was introduced, and the roads and canals, designed in the previous year, were actually com menced, to say nothing of a new system of excise being fully established. The consequence of these efficient services was, that at the end of the second year the board were able to report to the Governor-General that " the entire British system and its institutions were thoroughly introduced into the Punjaub." The !nerd add the following comment : " The two first years were years of originating, the third year ha.l been . rather one of perfecting;" and they conclude by referring to the appendix to the report all who desire to know the step bywhich the general administration had been advanced up to the point at which it then stood. To give a detailed 'account of these results, equally solid and splendid in their character, would be to give an epitome of an East Indian " Blue Book," of upwards of 300 pages, including many im portant tables—a task which we spare inflicting on ourselves or our readers—the more willingly &lade Indian "Blue Books" are printed at present without a marginal summary. Lord Dalhousie, in a minute dated July 9, 1833 (for which we regret that we have not space), speaks of this report as a "most able, clear, full, and interesting document, given in a tone of conscious success, and marked by a most hopeful spirit." In 1849 his lordship expressed a " confident hope" that the Punjaub would turn out a most profitable possession; and the results have not belied his hopes ; for, in the very first year after its annexation, the revenue of the Punjaub (after paying all expenses of government and msnagement) showed a surplus of 52 lass, and rose in the second year to 64 lace of rupees. The rest of Sir John Lawrence's career is too fresh in our readers' memories to need repeating here. We may, how ever, mention that, in 1856, he was made a K.C.B. in re ward of his services as Commissioner of the Punjaub, and was advanced to the dignity of a G.C.B. last year for his zeal, intrepidity, and energy in supporting his deceased brother and the military authorities in suppressing the Indian mutiny. He is now further rewarded with a baronetcy, and a seat by nomination of her Majesty's Go vernment, in the new Indian Council, in which capacity he will enjoy a salary of £1,200 a-year. The following " Order in Council," recently issued by Lord Canning, will speak for itself :—" The Governor- General la Council will not postpone his grateful acknow ledgment of the services which have been rendered to the empire at this juncture by the Chief Commissioner of the Punjaub. To Sir John Lawrence it is owing that the army before Delhi, long ago cut off from all direct support from the Lower Provinces, has been continually recruited and strengthened so effectually as to enable its commander not only to maintain his position unshaken, but to achieve a great success. To Sir John Lawrence's unceasing vigilance, and his energetic and judicious use of the trustworthy force at his disposal, it is due that Major-General Wilson's army has not been harassed or threatened on the side of the Pun jaub, and that the authority of the Government in the Punjaub itself has been sustained and generally respected." It will probably be remembered that in November last Sir John Lawrence, when he received the distinction of the Grand Cross of the Bath, at the same time received the thanks of Parliament by resolution of both houses. Shortly afterwards a despatch was sent out by the directors of the .Est India Company directing that his salary of £7,"200 a year as Chief Commissioner should be increased to the same amount as that of Lieutenant-Governor, namely, £lO,OOO a-year, and that its receipt should date from the Ist Jan., 1838. These circumstances show that the distinguished and valuable services of Sir John Lawrence have lot been over looked, though the nation will not think that his services have been adequately rewarded until they are crowned with a peerage; and it is generally expected that a peerage is in store for him when the Indian mutiny has 1-cen fairly quelled, and Lord Canning has been advanced to an earl dom. We learn from Hardwicke's "Shilling Knightage " that Sir John Lawrence married, in 1842, a daughter of the late Rev. It. Hamilton.—Court Circular. MEMOIR OF THE CAVALIER E MA S SIM 0 D'AZEGLIO. The name of Cavaliere Massimo d'Azeglio is so familiar to our readers that we think they will be glad to find in our columns the following masterly sketch of M. d'Azeglio's political life. We extract it from the book recently published by Signor Chiala, " Une Page du Gouvernement Repre sentatif en Piemont." The author is a young man of great talent, and considered to be one of the eminent poli tical writers of Piedmont, and this work is certainly one of the most interesting that has appeared in that country on political matters, and on this account we hope now to see a translation of the whsle work. After giving a history of the political party known in Piedmont as the Centro Sinietro, Signor Chiala thus speaks of Massimo d'Azeglio, the eminent writer, and, at the same time, painter, poet, and statesman. On the fall of the democratic Ministry, after the defeat of Novara, the King Victor Emmanuel called to the presi deuce of his first Cabinet M. le General de Lannay, a Some slight idea of the labours of this board of commis- senator of the kingdom, a man who in public opinion was sioners may be formed from a :statement which we gather considered to be a greater partizan of the ander:. regime from their report on the Punjaisle (p. 15), and which gives than of the new state of things.
