THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.- 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 nuzzled many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet when we are acquainted w;th 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. Ile then bought some of Thor ey's food ; and he says the effect was wonder ful. The horse rapidly grew fat, an' intitscqurse of a few weeks, had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agricultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which carried off the highest pr zes, had been partly fed with Thorley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselvm and we arc forced to the conclu sion, that its celebrity arises solely from its own intrinsic merits, and the great dem ind for it can proceed alone from the good opinion and testrnoay 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. WO THE NERVOUS AND DEBILITATED.

[Plume 4D. S rAMPIC , 5 •] ch o fi n the a nan h peninsula. e ad d alte good was their found,ho escape, wever and h , that the a inhlbitants Of the large village which is situated here gazed wonderingly at the " fire Ship.," confi dent, apparently, that the barbarians would not mistake them for soldiers. A line of deserted junks moored right across the ,river at this point formed a very good defence for our advanced posi tion, and the whole peninsula being now in our possession the day's work was considered complete. We may trust that this blow will have been sufficiently serious to bring the Chinese Govern ment to its senses. It had evidently been occu pied during the last five weeks in c-ncen'rating he , e warlike resources. Large bodies of troops bad been sent down from Pekin, and the batteries had been improved and strengthened by guns col lected from neighbouring towns. So exaggerated was the estimate formed of their own powers of resistance that the Chinese did not hesitate to open the first fire upon us, and it took us upwards of an hour thoroughly to undeceive them upon this point. The fact that the batteries were so easily taken after so many weeks' preparation only shows how simple it would have been in the first instance to seize them. If the impression produced, however, is more effectual in consequence, the delay is not to be regretted. We have to deplore a melancholy accident which t.2ok place in the centre fort after it was in our possession. Some French engaged in the work of demolition had imprudently set fire to some gabions in the immediate vicinity, a spark was blown into a magazine, which bad not been observed, and a crowd of bystanders were blown up. Some were killed on the spot, and others frightfully wounded. The accurate returns have not yet come in, but 36 is the estimate I have generally heard givcn. Oar entire loss has been comparatively trifling. We have captured about 150 brags guns, most of them of enormous calibre, exquisite workmanship, and not above two years old, and we have had five men killed and 15 wounded. Of these five, one was shot by accident and one blown up. The Chinese loss has not been so great as might have been expected, and is not supposed to have exceeded 100. It is generally believed that this success will be followed by au immediate move towards Tien-tsin, in which direction the Plenipotentiaries will pro ceed until they meet with an Imperial Commissioner properly qualified to treat with them. The Bella Isle storeship has just come in with provisions for the fleet. (FROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.) THE PEIHO RIVER, MAY 21. I was so sick of all the d , lays, all the idle excuses for delay, to cover shortcomings, after arrangements had been made wHougKong for an efficient force to be here early in April, that I began to despair of ever seeing the flag within the forts of the Peiho. However, it is so at last, and yesterday, after a brilliant little affair with our force of gunboats, blue-jackets, and marines, all the Chinese work-, containing fully 150 heavy guns, and some dozen batteries of field-pieces, were carried in spite of a creditable resistance extending over three hours. Tire general orders, which will be published, will tell you of the plan of attack ; it may be comprised threein sew ences. First, the heavy vessels, Nimrod, Cormorant, Fusee, Avalanche, kc., to engage at 10 a.m. S coed, the small gunboats, Slaney, Staunch, Bustard, Leven, Opossum ; Firm to tow up seamen and Marines in two divisions, to carry the works on right and left banks. Toird, Pint Division Landing Party—Pique, Furious, Surprise, and some French, total 400, under Srt F. Nicholson and Capt. Sherard Osborne. The Second D.vision—Calcutta's, Fury's, Nim rod's men and some seamen of the French squad ron ; Captains Hall, Dew, Goodenough, Lechi-, dec. I must in detail confine myself to what I saw in the starboard attack. Yesterday, at 8 a.m_, a letter was sent in calling on his Imperial Majesty's Commissioner Tan to surrender all his forts within two hours, as a gua rantee for the safety of our ambassadors while they advanced on the capital. At 10 a.m., at a signal, the Nimrod and Cormorant took up their positions, speedily supported by four heavy French men. The Tartars opened the ball, and a heavy well-sustained fire commenced on either side ; fur casualties you must look to other quarters. I hear of several, but am not certain. The Tartats would not leave their guns ; uo gunners could have behavEd better, considering their materials in guns, powder, and shot. About 11 o'clock Sir M. Seymour led up the landing force, which bowled ashore in the usual formal array of the British seaman. Dew and San marez had, however, effectually shut up such guns as bore on the points of debarkation, and on the right bank they took the Point Battery and Square Fort without any resistance, the garrison, minus its dead and wounded, wisely retiring at the double to their camp and a cavalry entrenchment, whence a heavy fire was being poured upon the gunboats and some upon the men on shore. Having finished that portion of our work, the French on our side took to their boats, and went over to the left bank ; while the Pique, Furious, and Surprise, with the Leven, Opossum, Bustard, and Staunch, advanced on the camps. It was the prettiest thing of the day, after the gallant and dashing manner in which Dew and Saumarez took up their positions within 500 yards of their respective points of attack, to witness this attack on the camps. The Bustard, Opossum, and Staunch covered our left flank, and took off the attention of the guns in the entrenched camps. Indeed they were throughout under much the heaviest fire, the Bus tardd the enemy continued firing on the m until the landing gallantly keeping the lead. In each of these vessels there were several casualties, aii party approached and threatened them in flank and ai-peut took place, and p heavy had brass ababout guns, we poli4ted off some few of t rear, when a general sauve-q the blackguards as they throwing 681 b. shot, and a went over the open. By three o'clock we had pos session of all the works, and the enemy had re treated k throwing ta)ilsl tw aes a twa n okr l i 11 8 : sg l b place. n b a t; the a es n os d uet t ch h oen e r y dn zg fi fiob hyien e no l l ad d gr ,-aaf capital carriages, fa,g,,chtelat.isar:riages, three miles. dozen iron guns of a new construction, on capital must have had about 1,000 men in each, at the p il o e u s. nde E rs a , ch fo c u a r m lowest computation, with abundance of admirable some, unaccountable reason they did Division had disembarked, and carried with ease not advance on the village, consequently all the garrison escaped and carried off their field guns on that side. The explosion of Chinese magazines was, of course, a serious difficulty in all our advances, and I hiaar of 40 Frenchmen having gone where French men may be said to go when thrown up 100 feet in the air by some tons of powder. In the evening the Second Division moved up, embarked in our own gunboats, supported by Captain Dew (of the Nin rrod), to our present position of the village Jos s-house. Had I had my way I should have pus .bed un all night, and been at daylight at Tien tsin, given them two hours more, and then burnt , lown all the Imperial granaries. With respect to all the delay in taking this deci sive step, I may assure you that Lord Elgin is in - no way to blame, and it is only by constant pre,- sure, and by threatening to refer the whole ques tion of their inaction home, that the admirals have Jaeen induced to act at all. The French admiral I perfectly understand. He ha, s fitted out his men at our stores.

His lordship has engaged a suite of rooms at the Portland Hotel, Soutbsoa, where he will sojourn for the present. Marshal the Duke of Mal,khoff will join his lordship in a few days. Rear-Admiral Codrington, C. 13., was yesterday appoin•ed Admiral Superintendent of Malta dock yard, vaunt by the promotion of Vice-Admiral Stopford. The Royal Sovereign, 131, screw, went out of haibmir to-day to "warm" her engines prepara tory to trying her speed at the measured mile. She shimmed about eight or ten miles beyond the Nab Light to the eastward, and, after proceeding in a reverse direction as far as Osborne, returned to the harbcr , ef. • Q ( ` l lb^rne power worked in beautiful order, and there was very.4llMA•vihra tory motion. This preliminary trial was a satis factory one to the officer in charge, Captain Gor don, of the Hannibal, suptrintendent of the steam reserve. Weather permitting, she will proceed to Stok 's Bay on Saturday ; au+, it is expected, will realise a speed of upwards of 12 knots. The Victor Ernman uel, 131, screw, Captain Moore, at Portsmouth received on board yesterday a de tachment of Royal Marine Artillery and Marines, together with about 60 continuous service men from the Victory. The Terrible, 21, paddle-frigate, Captain Glasse, C. 8., the Archer, 13, Captain Sanderson ; and the Racer, 11, Commander the Hon. T. A. Pakenham, arrived at S i ithead yesterday from Sheerness and Woolwich. Her Majesty's steam-frigate Catalpa, which arrived at Portland early on Saturday morning, left under canvas for the eastward on Monday morning. The Orion, 91, arrived in the night. Commodore Eden arrive d from the westward in the Argus sl,camer, on Monday, and inspected the Blenheim Coastguard ship ; he also went over the breakwater works with the chief engineer, Mr. Coode. The Firefly, 4, paddle-wheel steam ♦essel, Com mander George Fiott Day, arrived at Woolwich yesterday from the west coast of Africa, to strip and pay off. She immediately proceeded down the river on a trial trip, in charge of an officer from the factory department, to test the condition of her engines and machinery, and it is ascertained that the vessrl will require extensive repairs, as a portion of her timbers are rotten, and during the voyage home she was in a leaky state. The Firefly has been in commission nearly four years, and formed part of the Baltic fleet in 1835, under the crmmand of Captain Henry Charles Otter, now of the Porcupine. Mr, John E. Petley, Master Commander of the Black Eagle, Admiralty steam yacht, this day re ceived a case of valuable mathematical instruments as a preent from Prince Alfred. The present is accompanined by a letter from his Royal Highness, who refers to his recent cruise in the Black Eagle —hopes that the instruments will he useful to Mr. Petley ; and amongst other matters his Royal Highness states ho has forwarded a knife for True love, the boatswain, as be had not forgotten that he lost Truelove's knife when they were out in a small boat. _ _ Admiralty orders have been received at Chitham for a return of all the steamers ar:d vessels of war now lying in the Medway attached to the ordinary, in order to ascertain what vessels are fit for further active service. The Oneida is shortly expected at Southampton, and will take out troops to India. It is expected that she will sail about the 4th of next month. She was the first steamer that took out an Australian mail under the European and Australian Com pany's contract, and on her return to Suez she broke down, and for a long time was supposed to have gone to the bottom. She has now undergone a thorough rPpair. Both the Oneida and the Tas manian belong to the Royal Mail Company, and are the only two screw ships possessed by the com pany, all their other large ships being side wheels. The Tasmanian is larger than the Himalaya. The Royal Mail Company have now two of the finest and la•gest screw steamers in the world. They will carry a very large number of troops. The Falmouth freight-ship has commenced ship ping war stores at Chatham for Devonpott dock yard. The reports of our Alalta correspondent reach to the 22d of July, on which day the ships in port were, her Majesty's screw line-of-battle ships Marlborough, bearing the flag of Vice-Admiral Arthur Fanshawe, C. 8., and the Centurion ; the Hibernia receiving ship, bearing the flag of Vice- Admiral the Hon. Sir Montagu Stopford, superintendent of Malta dockyard ; the screw steam gun vessels Coquette, Osprey, and Vigilant; the steam sloop Harpy, and the steam -tug Hearty. Fler Majesty's screw liners Conqueror and Princess Royal and steam-frigate Vulture left port on the 15th July, with orders to cruise from a to 15 leagues distant from Malta between that island and Sicily.

JOSEPH NIAU.SDERS, Manager and Secretary. Weymouth, 24th July, 1858. THE ENGLISH NAVY IN THE CHINA SEAS. (Thom the Times' Correspondent.) GULF OF PECH.ELEE MAY 17. Exactly five weeks have now elapsed since the Russian steamer Ametica, with Count Putiatin on board, anchored opposite the forts at the mouth of the Peiho River, to the dismay of the garrison and the disquietude of the Celestial mini generally. This must have been increased by the arrival cn the following day of the Furious, with Lord Elgin, the Pique, and the Slaney (gunboats), There are at this moment anchored inside of the river, or off its mouth, 29 men-of-war, of which 15 are English, 10 are French, three American, and one Russian. Four Plenipotentiaries and two admirals have been for more than a month helplessly gazing at the miserable mud forts at the month of the Priho, and so encourag'ng has been this long period of inaction on the part of the barbarians to the garrison that the awe which our appearance first inspired has been converted into contempt, and they now in dulge themselves in derisive gestures, bootings, and the defiant waving of flags, very much to the disgust of those on - board of her Majesty's ships Nimrod and Cormorant, which are Anchored within 400 yards of the forts. Of course the general public are not fully informed as to the canes which have combined to place us in this conteraptible attitude in the eyes of the Chinese. Enough has transpired, however, to enable me to describe to you with tole rable accuracy the history of the unfortunate diffi culties which seem to have arisen in a quarter from which they were least to be expected, It appears that the original intention of the Four Plenipoten tiaries in conning' to the mouth"' d the-'Peiho to gether was to proceed at once direct to Tien-tsin, as it was considered that the nearer to the capital negotiations were carried on the more likely they would be to meet with success. This project seemed the more feasible as arrangements were en tered into between the allied naval authorities and the French and English Ambassadors to supply them with a fleet of gunboats to be at Shanghai by the end of last March. These gunboats, however, did not reach the Gulf of Pechelee until the 9th of May, so that on their first arrival here the Minis ters found themselves absolutely unable to move. In the meantime mandarins of high degree, anxious to fend off barbarian intrusion, appeared at the mouth of the river, with proposals to open nego tiations, and thus, even had the means existed, the excuse of proceeding pacifically to Tien-tsin to find a negotiator was no longer valid. It must ever be regretted that so favourable an opportunity has been lost of creating an impression on the minds of the Chinese. Nor can there be any doubt that the representatives of the four Powers, supported by a flotilla of gunboats under the walls of Tien tsin, would have found the difficulties of negotia tion wonderfully diminished. An additional re commendation to the plan, in the eyes of the neu tral Powers at all events, was the fact that it did not involve any hostile operations. Now, in the opinion of the admirals, and, indeed, of every officer in the squadron, these have become abso lutely necessary to save the allied flags from dis honour. Tan, Governor-General of the province of Chilli, and the other mandarins who appeared as Imperial Commissioners, were found not to be pro perly qualified, and it is said that the Chinese Government has refused to confer upon them the necessary powers. Whatever may have been the reason, neither Lord Elgin nor Baron Gros have ever been ashore, or sought an interview, and so long ago as the 29th of last month preparations were made for hostilities. The Nimrod and Cor morant despatch gunboats, the Coromandel (admi ral's tender), and the Slaney (gunboat), with three French gunboats, the only vessels of small draught then here, were put across the bar, after having been lightened, immediately under the guns of the fort, and in a position from which it was difficult to escape. We considered this move indicative of action, more especially when it was followed by the signal for small arm parties to b., in readiness for landing ; the appearance, on the 30th, of general orders for the attack put the mat ter beyond a doubt. What was our astonishment, then, to find all these grand preparations end in smoke, and when the reason for postponing hosti lities transpired the matter became still more in comprehensible. It appeared that the Ambassa dors had called on the naval authorities to act, and that the latter had declined, in consequence of the smallness of the force. To us, who bad inspected the so-called forts from every point of view, with many of their embrasures containing flags instead of guns, and their scanty garrison, of which the largest computation at that time amounted to only 500 men, this refusal to act seemed incredible. There were at that time seven men-of-war inside the bar, and upwards of 3,000 men in the fleet then anchored off it. It is not to be wondered at after this that on the arrival of six more gunboats the admirals are said to have declined to move up the river Tien-tsin, although they might have done so accompanied by a force of 13 gunboats in all. When we remember the achievements of the soli tary little Nemesis during the last war, and, com pare the river force now here with that which sufficed in those days to bring the Chinese to their senses, we are tempted to suspect the exis tence of some motives of which the public are ignorant, as the explanation of a proceeding on the part of the naval authorities otherwise in explicable. It may be that our able naval ally is carrying on a little "diplomatic pigeon," not with the Chinese, but his own colleague. He has certainly succeeded in playing his cards with con siderable skill hitherto ; with a force of only 12 ships in the China seas he has brought up 10 to the scene of action, while the British, with a naval squadron 54 strong, are only represented by 15 pennants. Two of our gunboats have gone on a cruise to the Prate shoals, just at the time when they were most wanted. It is doubted whether the French gunboats are of sufficiently light draught of water to proceed far up the Peiho. If this is so, we do not wonder at the determined opposition the French Admiral has shown to the proposed scheme of pushing up the river, affirming that he will not consent to move on Tien-tsin unless sup p-rted with a land force of 4,000 men. We very much fear it is a repetition of the old story of Pe lissier and Simpson. However, it is difficult to speculate upon the wheel within wheel policy which impedes vigorous action at this moment. We can only judge by appearances, and it must be con fessed that they do not lead us to augur favourably for the success of an enterprise upon which such important commercial interests depend both in England and Chins, and which has been under taken upon a scale calculated, if properly managed, to ensure the most brilliant results. With 25 men of-war at the mouth of the Peiho,and a good ground of complaint agaiust the Chinese Government, we should be in a position to obtain satisfaction for our just and moderate demands, and if we fail it is to be hoped that the matter will be thoroughly sifted, and the blame fall on the right shoulders. A conference of the allied Admirals and the French and English Ambassadors has just been held on board the Audacieuse. The result has raised the drooping spirits of the fleet. The attack on the forts is to take place the day after to-morrow. and it is earnestly hoped that it will be immediately followed by a move up the river. If it be not we shall have taken nothing by cur motion. The same game will have been played here which was played with so little success by Admiral Seymour the year before last at Canton ; if we abandon these forts without further action we shall incur difigrace in the eyes of the Chinese and contempt in the eyes of everybody else. The forts are being daily strength ened and large reinforcements have come down from the interior.

Ye,terclay a deputation, appointed by the recent meeting in Sloane-street, on the subject of the bad condition of the Serpentine, waited on Lord John Manners, at the office of the Board of Works, with the view of urging on that department the neces sity of remedying the evil complained of. The de putation consisted of Dr. Copland, Dr. Lankester, Dr. Pettigrew, Dr. Christian, Dr. Tilt, Mr. S. C. Hall, Mr. Lilwall, Dr. Spurgin, &c. Dr. COPLAND, in introducing the deputation, re ferred to the accumulation of mud in the Serpen tine, and the injurious emanations therefrom, which, though not always accompanied by offensive odours, were, he contended, none the less insalu brious on that account. He desired to impress upon the Government the expediency of immediate steps being taken to remedy an evil of so crying a nature. Lord J. MANNERS said the first point to be con sidered was the prevention of the flowing of the ' present quantity of sewage into the Serpentine from the Bayswater sewer, without which other moisures would be useless. He was at present iu communication with the Metropolitan Board of Works on that subject, and hoped that the evil would be effectually remedied. The removal of the mud was unquestionably a matter of some difficulty, and scientific men were not agreed as to the best ard most economical method to be adopted. The subject, however, shoud be carefully looked into, and some means, if possible, adopted for removal of the mud. As to the supply of water the suggestion thrown out lay Mr. Lilwall appeared to be a reasonable one. Several other suggestions had been made to him previously to that occasion, and he hoped it might be found that one of them would answer the purpose. He could not undertake to commence the work at once, as he thought Parliament ought to have an opportunity of expressing its opinion o❑ the subject. He should be glad when he had maturely considered the various points, and if he could see his way clearly, to propose an estimate next session for the cleansing of the Serpentine, but he did not wish to be understood as giving a positive pledge, more especially as the Treasury would have to he consulted before any steps could be taken. The deputation then tlumked his lordship and withdraw. THE NEW JOINT STOCK COMPANIES AM.—Yesterday, an act to amend the J , l: t Stock Companies Act was printed, and has immediate operation. Tue object of the new statute (21 and 22 Vie., c. 60) is to make further provi-ion for enabling companie3 to be wound up, as directed by the 19th section of the 20 and 21 Vic., c. 14, and to explain and amend the Joint Stock Companies Act of 1856, and the Joint Stock Banking Act of last year. Tuere are 24 sections in the act, and amongst other things it is now enacted that a petition praying wholly or in part that a voluntary winding-up may con tinue, subject to the supervision of the court, shall, for the purpose of giving jurisdiction to the court over suits and actions, anti over the appointment of a r-c , iv r, be deemed to be a petition for wi-dir g up Lae company by the nett, and le 00.: r,..ialeg whether a company is to b- -vc,ut.o up altogether, or under the provisions of the 19 h section of the recited air, the court may have regard to the wishes of the maj mity in number and value of the creditors, as proved to it by any sufficient evidence. Additional liquidators may be appointed. Actions and proceedings are to be stayed when there is a windtngnp order. In making calls, the account on both sides to he taken, and the balance to be deemed the sun due. All calls made on shareholders and others, to be proved against the estates of parties becoming bank rupt or insolvent. The liquidators are empowered to compromise ail calls and liabilities. With regar: t , the prosecution cf delinquent directors and others, it is de clared that where an order is made for winding up a company, if it appear that any past ~r Existing director, manager, public officer, or member, has been guilty of any offence in relation to the company for which he is criminally responsible, the court may, on the application of any person interested in snob winding-up, or of its own motion, direct the liquidator to institute and con duct a prosecution for such offence, and to order the expenses to be paid out of the assets of the company. Banking companies may register for the purposes of I winding up their affairs under the recited AO). at the capital.

The gunboats went over the bar this afternoon, with paddlebox and ships' boats in tow, full of seamen and marines from the fleet Their appear ance as they entered the mouth of the river was picturesque in the extreme, numbers of little tri colour flags, in which our allies always indulge, waved brightly in the setting sun, while the red coats of the marines formed a gay contrast to the blue jackets of the sailors. The gunboats came on in close order, puffing forth jets 'cf white smoke, as though they were panting beneath the dense masses of human beings with which their decks were crowded. Their aspect was sufficiently im posing to cause no little excitement among the valiant defenders of the batteries on shore. Man darins on horseback and on foot, followed by par ties of men carrying flags, visited the different bat teries, apparently giving orders. The men all stood to their guns, and turned out in single line, along the whole length of the steep glacis, so as to make as imposing an array as possible. Any compunc. tion we might have felt in giving the brave garri son a little severe treatment on the morrow was considerably diminished by the insolent message they sent off through Count Putiatin, and which, condensed into the expressive slang of the pugilist, amounted simply to a request to us to " come on." MAY 20. At 8 o'clock this morning Captain Hall and the French Flag Captain proceeded on shore with a flag of truce and letters from the AmtasEadors and Admirals, informing Tan that it being necessary for the safety of the former, in the prosecution of their search for a properly qualified commissioner, Viat the forts at the mouth of the Peiho should temporarily change garrisons, he, the said Tan, was allowed two hours, at the expiration of which delay, if they were not surrendered, they were to be taken. The order of the day was as follows :--The Cor morant, Fusee, and Mitraille to attack the two forts on the north side ; the Nimrod, Avalanche, and Dragonne to engage the three on the south. Upon the Admira moving up the river, they were to be followed by the gunboats towing landing parties. Those destined for the attack of the northern forts, towed by the Staunch and the Bus tard, to be composed of men from the Pique, the Furious, and the Surprise, under the command of Capt. Sir F. Nicholson, Capt. S. Osborn, and Com mander Cresswell. The Slaney and the Firm to land their parties, composed of men of the Calcutta and Fury, under command of Capt. Hall and Com mander Leckie, for the attack on the southern forts. The Leven and Opossum were told off to tow the French landing parties, the former to the southern, the latter to the northern attack. Precisely at 10 o'cl3ck the signal was given for the ships to get into position, and the Cormorant, whose screw bad been impatiently revolving for some minutes pre viously, went off at full speed, like an arrow from a bow. She had hardly steamed twice her own length when the southern forts opened a heavy fire upon her ; disdaining a reply, her commander, Saumarez, stood gallantly on, and took up his po sition with the utmost deliberation and greatest precision. His conduct called forth a most glowing eulogy from the admiral. When he did open fire it was with tremendous effect ; bestowing one shot upon the southern forts in return for the attention they had honoured him with, he concentrated his fire on the northern forts. Shot, shell, and grape rained in upon them, and before his French sup ports bad got into position he had very nearly suc ceeded in silencing their fire. Meantime the Nim rod, whose movements bad been somewhat thrown out by the French gunboats not coming up to time, received the concentrated fire of the southern forts, which Captain Dew returned with in'erest. For tunately, although the Chinamen stuck to their guns with considerable pertinacity, they were so badly aimed as to do very little damage. Notwith standing that the Nimrod, Avalanche, and Dra gonne were pretty hotly engaged for an hour, the former only lost one killed and three wounded; four shot struck her hull. I have not heard the loss of any of the French force engaged beyond the fact that four officers were killed. A little before 11 o'clock the Admirals passed followed by the fleet of gunboats. In the fire to which they were exposed Mr. Prickett, second. master of the Opossum, was severely wounded by a round shot, which had passed over the Nimrod. The landing on the north side took place about 11, in a few minutes more the allied flags were floating over the forts, and our Marines and blue-jackets were in full cry upon a large camp of infantry and cavalry about a mile distant. This is the first time in our experience of Cuinese warfare that our blue jackets have had an opportunity of dispersing large bodies of cavalry. It is a species of excitement they particularly ap preciate. At a quarter-past 11 the lauding party on the south side burst upon the astonished gaze of the Chinamen, who precipitately evacuated the batteries and fled across the arid plain in rear of the forts, all of which were rapidly occupied by our men, while large parties of skirmishers followed up and harassed the retreating masses. As the river at this point forms a peninsula, upon which the forts are situate, theOpossurv, Bustard, and Staunch were sent round to meet the enemy on the other board oe side.
