" Imperfectly transmitted" though the telegram is acknowledged to be at the Foreign Office, the telegram received there last night from Suez via Alexandria and Malta, it is sufficiently explicit, and also, be it said, sufficiently unpre tentious in its character to be accepted as reliable. It comes to us on the authority of the China Mail, and under date the Ist of October. The last accounts, it will be remembered by reason of their seeming confusion, not to say contradiction at the first blush, brought matters down—somehow or other, comprehensibly or not—to the 26th of Sep tember. So that the intelligence now received only affects to relate what has occurred, out there at the seat of war, within less than a week, in fact only five days afterwards. By that first of Oc tober then hostilities had recommenced in earnest. That we can very well believe even upon the assurance of a telegram " imperfectly transmitted." It is added by the China Mail, published at Hong Kong, that not only had hostilities recommenced, but that two skirmishes had been fought with the Tartar cavalry, and that so far were our troops from having there, in the ordinary acceptation of the phrase, " caught a Tartar," that the Tartars themselves had been resolutely repulsed. The Allied forces, it is further remarked by the telegram, are, according to those. lit advises, in hostile position before Pekin—not near Pekin observe, but actually at its very walls, ready for the assault, prepared for all emeagencies, for its capture or its capitulation. Unaccustomed thus to have occasion to sleal with a foreign enemy in arms befo re the very gates of its capital, the Im perial Government of China had seemingly failed as yet in any - way to realise the perils and difficul ties of its situation waen thus threatened. Inso much that while We areinformed that negotia tions had been ag a i n , opened by the Chinese, it is expressly added by the telegram that these nego tiations, or rather, we presume, those attempts at nego ti a tions had been commenced in a manner in no way supplicatory ! This is a reminder to us,aienad a very timely remin der, that the p e riod of half n sure s in dealing with tmheCthinnoew be has carried t o Chinese gone by altogether. Conviction us their minds that the Allied powers of W estern Europe are no longer to be trifled with diploma tically with impunity. Especially is it advis a bl e that this conviction should be carried for once and for all home to the minds of the Chinese and their Government with reference to our selves. England has so much at stake in those seas, she has already a commerce so very considerable and important with China, particu larly with the southern coasts of that great Empire, and that same commerce is giving auguries every y l ba l r of such rapid and remarkable development, that it is essential to our interests to put an end definitively to the preposterous notions hitherto manifestly entertained at Pekin that nothing serious can ever come of it to the Chinese be the English ever so much insulted, deceived, and out raged. We have had every provocation to this war, whatever may be thought by the captious in . , , --- -;: . .:L -: :f . : ( v ,!k ~.., sl ii, , 7•to ,' 4, . ee , ~,,t56, ...... • ..l , ',";+:" . ,',.. , it4 1 ',.722.: . t , ,, Z., .. , ... \ , ;: i. ~•• .... 7, , ~",,, b ~.? s„ ; i li a ~.. • • -,,,, 0 . 0 ,.....4„ , ,,, ;, . 5 , , 4 T 7- .. , ,- ~...... - __.-,,,,, '••• 141 ''''44.....,.. '. THE SUN. LONDON, SATURDAY, NOV. 24, 1860. • regard to its predecessors. We have had insult cast upon our flag, we have had the sacred charac ter of our embassy set at nought, contrary to the laws of nations, we have had four hundred of the gallant attendants upon the representative of our Sovereign either maimed or murdered by an atrocious ambus cade. The blood of those four hundred brave sea men has ever since been crying out, if not for vengeance, for • the extorting at the point of the sword, from the flagitious and perjured Government of China, of something in the way of compensation. Concessions of more ready access to the northern ports of the empire and of a permanent access for our ambassador, also, to the capital of the country, hitherto closed inexorably against the foreigner ! And, together with these extorted signs and symbols of expiation, an adequate sum in good sterling Syce silver rung out on the nail in the way of an indemnity. At the commencement of September, it will be borne in mind, the demand made by Lord ELGIN for a specified amount in the form of an indemity, did not exceed £2,000,000 or £2,500,000. NOW, certainly, that moderate amount ought, in reason, to be doubled or even trebled. With our Armstrongs limbered up before Pekin within range of the Imperial Palace and its environs, our demand should be not for £2,000,000 or £3,000,000, but for £8,000,000 or £8,000,000, or it might be even, as we said the other day, £10,000,000. The Chinese have arrears to make up with us. We have been too often dealt hardly with by them; and they should certainly be made to pay down now accordingly. The public authorities of Derby have commenced a crusade against poachers, we fear on a system which will hardly bear investigation. Little, we know, can be said for the poaching class. They are too commonly the idle hands of a parish, men often of sharper wits than their mere industrious neighbours, but disposed to use their ability to save themselves the tedium and toil of daily labour. Still such men ought not to be dealt with by extra legal measures, and especially, those who make them what they are, ought not to be protected at the expense of the public in corrupting their neighbours. It is but too well known that the county police were established by the country gentlemen chiefly in aid of their gamekeepers. The measure would hardly have been carried, but to assist in repressing poaching at the expense of the community. Bad enough, surely, that the country tradesmen of all classes, and the farmers, should have to pay this additional game-tax, but it is surely worse for the boroughs to be saddled also with a serious charge in behalf of game preservers. The Derby authorities have, it seems, employed the town police to watch the suburbs of the borough at hours when, we should say, they ought to have been looking to the state of the towns men's shutters; and to take from persons whom they found bringing them into the town all the hares, rabbits, and other game they might have with them, together with the nets and other implements they had employed in catching them. Of the illegality of such a step we believe there is no doubt. The Game Laws them selves, disgracefully one-sided as they are, do not authorise any one to seize at his pleasure game and implements for catching it, when away from the manor on which the game could be taken. On the manor, the lord or his authorised agent has the legal right to do it. Elsewhere, if we understand the law aright, no one can interfere with the sus pected poacher. We may admit that the presump tion against the man is of the strongest kind, it may amount to moral certainty, still it is not English to strain the law against " suspects." Such a policy may suit the despots of the Continent; it is alien to our habits, as well as to our laws. The very boys in the streets, here, know that it is so, and will escape from the police across an imaginary line, and dare them from the other side of it to do their worst. If we mistake not the very way to secure sympathy for poachers is to strain the law against them. It is well known that the Game Laws are amongst the most oppressive and unjustly adminis tered laws of any on the Statute Book, and to make such intolerable relics of feudalism more stringent than they already are is to raise the victims of such oppression to the rank of martyrs. Those who have no sympathy with poachers, sympathise with poachers, badly, illegally, used. It may be quite true that poaching trains to other crimes; it is said that the unsuccessful poacher will, in returning home, rob the hen-roost, or carry off a duck or a turkey. It may be so in some cases, yet, if it be, it would afford but a vivid illustration of the difference between poaching and theft. It is an undeniable fact that all a poacher's neigh bours of his own class sympathise with him if " the poor fellow " gets six months for catching some game. But if he got twelve months for stealing what they recognise as property, they only ex claim, " Serve him right." If l aws ought to have regard to the moral sentiments of those whom they are to restrain, nothing can be more certain than that laws to punish poaching more severely than theft will never accord with popular instincts. 'Why, indeed, is a special name assigned to the deed—crime, we ourselves cannot call it, of killing a hare or a pheasant— why is it not left to the laws against trespass and the laws which protect other moveable property, to repress the practice. The chief answer is, that no lawyer can define whose property the creature is— to which may be added that the landlords are far more bitter against a killer of wild animals then against " the robber of a hen-roost"—and have established a far more stringent code against him. We have not the slightest knowledge of the personal or social relations of any of the Corporation of Derby with the adjacent landholders. But, we must confess that, writing thus remotely from the scene of action, we should say that their conduct looked as if they were under some measure of Landlord influence. They complain that there are some fifty persons in Derby who get their living by the demoralising means of poaching ; and, in kindness, they say to these very men, they will break them of such bad habits by taking from them the proceeds of their midnight toil. They will thus drive them to better employments—a result, we fear, not very likely ; for we suspect that the men will only manage a little better next time. But the grand error of the Cor poration is, their indulgence to the tempters, and their severity to the tempted. How much honour might the Corporation have gained, and h ow body, to the much good might they have done, by appealing, as a grav e municipal : preserving authors of the evil. Suppose they had made a form i nvestigation into the effect of ,game on the character of these fifty men ; had drawn up a report ; h a d p assed an solution ; and had th en transmitted a pthese p appropriate tevery game preserver within fifteen or twenty miles of the town—suppose they had added a municipal petition, on the evils of g ame - preserving, to both 1 louses o f Parliament —they w ou ld then, as it strikes us , have taken the manl y a n : useful course. D g ame -preserving and batt uoss h ooting ss asesnoocuianleeevils ; pnclaim to all England that crime in the rural districts, and therefore the cost of re -1 pressing it, i s chiefly due, directly or indirect?, to the Game Laws and game-preserving ; and, by de grees a public opinion may be created which will abate the nuisance, and ultimately abolish the odious game laws themselves—utterly unworthy as they are of a free country. We would strongly urge on the corporation to let the small game alone and attack the greater, if at least they would stand well with the English public. Let them insist on doing away with the temptation, and they will no longer need to tax their fellow-burghers for the preservation of the adjacent landlord's pheasants. We shall, of course, be told that we are poachers' friends, and would recklessly deprive the gentle men of England of their most manly sport. We reply, we speak of the poacher only as what he is—the creature of artificial laws ; a man whom the law does not brand as a thief—a man who is not what he ought to be, because landlords do what they ought not to do; And furthermore, we deny that the sport which creates poachers is manly sport. Hunting is manly—coursing is manly—walking the fields with a pointer is manly —but indolent waiting by a preserve till attendants drive the fluttered game up to the muzzles of our fowling-pieces is not manly. It is a burlesque of sport. A sickly, half effeminate substitute for the more vigorous exertions which belong to real sport. The truth is, for sport worthy of the name, a single gamekeeper would suffice for a very large estate. We can testify from actual knowledge of one such, in which the farmers and the labourers are the landlord's gamekeepers. The former he conciliates by allow ing them to course the hares and destroy the rabbits ; the latter by a little cheap and judicious kindness. The consequence is that he never wants sport, and that the men who, if he watched and harassed them, would set their foot—accidentally, of course —into a nest, now take every possible care not to disturb it. It is in this spirit that game ought to be preserved in a country like this. Pro perty, game is not. As property, game will never by any class be respected like that which has a definite owner ; but as a source of amusement, and protected by the genial methods which 'would con ciliate those who would otherwise destroy it, game may abound to the full extent to which it is wanted. It is really high time for the country to speak out on this subject, and as the Derby magi strates are so zealous against poachers, they should be the first to move against those who create them. A painful and most affecting illustration of the impediments lying thickly strewn in the path of a truly good and brave and able man striving, heart and soul, to win his way to distinction in the British army has, within the last few years, been brought more and more vividly to light by Sir HENRY HAVELOCK'S now numerous biographers. Reading the history of the life and fortunes-Lrather it should be said the life and misfortunes—of that noble and dauntless character, one marvels at the cruelty and folly which, far more than his death-march upon Lucknow, brought HAVELOCK to the grave so prematurely. It is distressing to the last degree to remark, now that it is all too late in his regard, that because of this system, of which HATELOCK was the victim, a nature in every way so pure and lofty should have been held so long in subjection, should have remained so long unrecognised, should only at last have Ileen recognised when worn out by protracted years of wearisome and harassing disappointment. Know ing now what was then in that man's heart—what heroic valour and what simple piety were animating the every thought and action of that good soldier, what uncomplaining endurance was secretly enno bling the patient hero's character—one's own heart burns with indignation to remember that during twenty of the most laborious years of his career in his profession, as an officer in one of the regiments of the Royal army stationed in Hindostan, he re mained uncared for and unnoticed among the lieutenants if the regiment ! At the end of that full heore of years' hard service in a climate singularly detrimental to the health of an European —at the end of fully twenty years of this hard service, in a climate thus notoriously insalubrious — he was still (in 1835) no more than second on the list of the lieutenants. This, too, after having signalized his ability in a sufficiently conspicuous manner, by serving through a campaign in the responsible capacity of deputy assistant adjutant general to a British army in the battle-field ! Striplings in abundance, the " curled darlings" of a happier fortune—happier, at least so far as relates to the larger share thus obtained of the bon-bons of life—purchasing over that pale, studious, religious, thoughtful, uncomplaining soldier who, all the while, only required (what certainly could not be said of them) for the manifestation of the noble qualities of genius and heroism lying latent in his almost recluse nature—the opportu nity ! That opportunity came at last—England thrilled to recognise in HENRY HAVELOCK some what of those grand and lofty characteristics pecu liar to the great worthies whose names and deeds form the most resplendent adornment 3 of her annals—England recognised these peculiarities in HAVELOCK, but only, alas ! when too late for the expiation in his regard of the cruelty of her mili tary system and of the blunders of its responsible chiefs. Remembering HAVELOCK'S career as a sol dier, and the career of Lord COCIIRANE, the late glorious Earl of DUNDONALD—vie have before us at a glance the folly and cruelty of the miserable old system of promotion by interest and by pur chase, we have before us at a single glance the cruelty and 'folly of the two extremes resulting from the working of that insensate system—we have this cruelty and this folly brought before us at a glance by those two startling illustrations. In the instance of HAVELOCK—there was the man without money and without interest, who was left for years and years to eat his heart out with anguish in undeserved obscurity, without a chance of gaining anything in the way of promotion. In the instance of Lord COCHRANE, there was the scion of a noble but impoverished race, a Lord by courtesy, an heir to au Earldom, who, without money, possessed in terest, at any rate, so far to have his name placed upon the books of the royal navy even in the days of his early infancy ! And yet one, who, with this unnatural " start" in life given to him was, in spite of far, far more than any interest that any man ever possessed ; in spite of qualities the loftiest and grandest ever given to a great sea-captain; in spite of a valour that was never surpassed, and a warlike genius that it would hardly be extravagant to say was never equalled upon the deep—was thwarted, and restrained, and held back doggedly by the powers that were, upon every pos sible occasion, and this throughout the whole of a life so long that, when at length the great Earl breathed his last at Kensington, he was one whole lustre beyond the age of an octogenarian. The cruelty and the folly, in fact, of the two extremes of this most execrable system have, we may con fidently assert, never been more painfully evidenced in all our annals than in the memorable instance of Sir HENRY HAVELOCK and of THOMAS COCHRANE, 10th Earl DUNDOXALD. His Serene Highness Prince Leopold of Hohen. I ' l lern has arrived at Maurigy's liotel from Berlin. THE SON, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 24, 1860, MR. LINDSAY AND THE NEW YORK CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. The New York Journal of Commerce reports the The regular meeting of the Chamber of Com merce was held on Thursday, November 1, at their building. The attendance of members was not large, there being about twenty-one members pre sent. Mr. George Opdyke, chairman of the Exe cutive Committee, made a report of the conference with Mr. W. S. Lindsay on the 10th of October, according to the appointment made at a special meeting on the 9th, and which report contained the following conclusions : "1. Liabilities of Shipowners.—The Executive Com mittee agree with Mr. Lindsay that an international ar rangement should be made, providing for the application of the existing laws of Great Britain and the United States, on the subject of collisions, in the courts of both countries. This is to say, the liability of the shipowners of both countries should be uniformly the same, and actions against them in the courts of either country should be governed by the laws of their own. The committee, however, consider the valuation proposed by Mr. Lindsay of £l5 for ships and steamers (freight included) as too high. They believe that £lO per ton would be sufficient for the former, and £l5 per ton for the latter. But in any law that may be enacted the committee think the actual value of the defaulting vessel should be established, and determine the liability. The committee also agree that to provide against collisions at sea it is advisable that the same rule of the road be adopted by both countries. " 2. Crime at Sea—The committee agree with Mr. Lind sly in regard to the assimilation of the laws in reference to crimes committed at sea; and that the Consuls of both countries should have jurisdiction over all petty crimes and offences committed on board the vessels of either, whether in port or at sea ; and that deserters from the vessels of either country should be promptly dealt with according to the laws of the country to which they belong. " 3. Light's at Sea—The committee also agree with Mr. Lindsay in his recommendation that the ships of this COM).- try be required to carry lights similar to those required by the British law. " 4. Shipping Offices—The committee join in the recom mendation that shipping offices be established in the princi pal ports of the United States for the purpose of engaging and discharging crews of American ships • and that the privilege of shipping the men at thes e offices be extended to British shipowners, provided similar rights are extended to American shipowners in British ports. " 5. Registration of Ships—The committee admit the propriety of debate in the Chamber on Mr. Lindsay's pro position that foreign ships should have the right of regis tration in the United States, as the ships of other nations have in Great Britain. "6, Coasting Trade—The committee see no objection to discussing in the Chamber the propriety of throwing open to British shipping the coasting trade between the Atlantic and Pacific ports, it being understood that Great Britain would reciprocate by abolishing light dues," passing tolls,' ' local charges,' compulsory pilotage,' colonial coasting, and intercolonial trade,' and the coasting trade of the Ame rican lakes." On motion, the report was accepted, and Mr. OFDYKE then moved the adoption of the following resolution : " Resolved,—That so much of the report of the Execu tive Committee on proposed changes in the maritime law as relates to the liabilities of shipowiers, crime at sea, lights at sea, and shipping offices, be referred a select commit tee, with instructions to prepare and submit to the Cham ber a memorial to Government in accordance with the re commendations of said report ; and that so much thereof as relates to the registration of ships and to the coasting trade be referred to another select committee, with instructions to investigate the merits of these propositions, and report thereon at the next regular meeting of the Chamber." The resolution was adopted. Their Serene Highnesses the Prince Louis and Prince Henry of Hesse Darmstadt have arrived at Mau rigy's Hotel from Paris. 'The Duchess of Manchester was safely delivered of a son yesterday afternoon at her residence in Great Stanhope-street. The Marquis and Marchioness St. Jose and Baron von Gersloof have left the Brunswick Hotel for Paris. The Countess of Durham was safely delivered of a son yesterday at Chesterfield House. Her ladyship and the infant <ire progressing favourably. The Earl and Countess of Mounteharles have arrived at their residence, Rutland-gate, from Windsor. The Countess of Kinnoull is expected at her new residence at Rutland-gate early next week, from Scotland. The Earl of Eglinton has bought a residence in Upper Belgrave-street, late the residence of Lady Charles Wellesley. Lady Frederick Fitzroy was safely delivered of a son yesterday, at her residence in Grosvenor-street. Viscount Palmerston, Earl Granville, the Duke of Somerset, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir George Grey, Lord Stanley of Alderley, the Earl of Chichester, and Viscount Castlerosse, after attending the Queen's Privy Council, yesterday afternoon, travelled from Windsor to Paddington by a special train on the Great Western Railvray. Field-Marshal Viscount and Viscountess Com bermere have arrived at Bath, from Leamington, for the winter. Viscount and. Viscountess Lismore arrived at the Pavilion Hotel, Folkestone, on Thursday, from Paris. _ _ The Count and Countess Manzoni have arrived at the Brunswick Hotel, Jermyn-street, from Italy. Lord and Lady William Powlett have been enter taining, at Downham, during the past week, a distinguished circle of friends, including the Earl and Countess of Strad broke, the Countess of Jersey, Sir Edward and Lady Caro line Kerrison, Hon. Robert and Mrs. Lawley, Hon. Francis and Mrs. Stonor, Lord William Osborne, Hon. Gilbert Reathcote, M.P., Mr. H. Milbanke, and Colonel Augustus Meyrick. Lord Stafford has arrived at Maurigy's Hotel, from Cossey Hall, Norfolk. - . _ _ A French imperial decree annuls the prohibition hitherto existing against the export of iron ore, and permits it to be taken from the country free of duty. The Minister of Marine has just given orders at Rochefort to put on the stocks an iron-cased frigate, and two steam transports of 400 horse power each. There were no bullion operations of importance at the Bank of England yesterday. • The rates of discount on the Continent continue to show a remarkable disproportion to those on this side. At Paris, in the open market, transactions are effected at 4 per cent. At Amsterdam and Brussels, the charge is 3 per cent., and at Hamburg it is only 21 per cent. An order of the French Prefect of Police enjoins the immediate introduction of the diapason fixed by law in all concerts, balls, and places of musical entertainment. The Emperor of the French has decided that of the million francs disposable through the death of Prince Jerome, three hundred thousand shall be added to the dowry of the Princess Mathildo, and that the remainder shall return to the treasury. THE EMPEROR AND THE CHURCH.—A letter from Paris says :—" It is said that as the Pope refuses to consecrate Monseigneur Maret, the Bishop of Vannes, the Emperor has resolved to dispense with the Papal exegtveur. It seems there is a precedent by which the imposition of hands by three bishops can be substituted for the consent of his holiness, but the episcopal body does not furnish the requisite number of docile prelates." EXPERIMENTS WITH THE ARMSTRONG GUN.— Some weeks since we gave an account of the experiments carried on at Eastbourne for the purpose of testing the breaching power of the larger descriptions of the Armstrong gun, and it will be remembered that the trials resulted in the complete demolition of a martello tower, on the side exposed to the fire. Experiments have since been made on a martello tower near Bexhill, in every respect similar to the one at Eastbourne, to ascertain the effect of common artillery, the guns employed being two 68-pounders and two 32-pounders, and the distance from the tower the same as in the trials with the Armstrong guns—namely, 1,032 yards. The firing commenced on Saturday, the 10th inst., and con tinued up to Wednesday, the 14th. Both shot and shell were used, and the entire number of rounds fired exceeded by one-half those delivered by the Armstrong guns at East bourne. The effect, however, was very different, for the tower remained tenable to the last, no breach having been effected ; and, in fact, only four shots penetrated into the interior, and no shells. The result is admitted to be com pletely decisive in favour of the Armstrong guns; but it is intended to pursue the experiments with the smooth bore cannon at a reduced distance of 400 yards. THE SUICIDE AND ATTEMPTED MURDER IN SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE.—On Thursday afternoon, :tfary Lewis, the woman whose attempted murder and the suicide of her would-be murderer we noticed yesterday still remained alive. Her ultimate recovery, however, is scarcely possible. She is unable to articulate, and continues to make known her wants by motions and other proceedings. She remains sensible, and is able in the way noticed to replyto the inter rogations put to her. The room in which she is lying is said to be very small, leaving only a small space between the bed and one of the walls. In this space she has re plied that she was when Stephenson came upstairs. The wall hero is bespattored with blood. Stephenson had lodged with the family 12 months. Having obtained work some distance away, he came to their house en Wednesday to fetch some of his clothes, and took dinner with than]. Lewis, on going to work, left him in the kitchen with his wife's sister, a young woman of weak intellect. It was after &is that Stephenson would seem to have gone up stairs. The poor woman says that he never before made such an attempt as that which she resisted so heroically. MURDER IN THE COUNTY DONEGAL—LONDON DETurr, Thursday night.—An adjourned inquest was held on the body of James Murray, at the petty sessions court, Church-hill, at 12 o'clock to-day. The jury unanimously returned a verdict that deceased was feloniously, wilfully, awl maliciously murdered by persons unknown. Mr. Adair has offered a reward of„eC100 for the discovery of the per petrator of this brutal murder. MANUFACTURE OF CONDIMENTS FOR CATTLE.—A long experience gives Mr. Thorley many advantages over his rivals in this new and important branch of industry. The first of the Cattle Food patents dates January 30, 18.55, while Thorley was successfully at work in 1850 manufac turing Thorley's Mixture, a farinaceous compound, at 14s. per cwt. This is a long start ahead. This mixture was a compound of our different kinds of corn, including Indian corn, ground or kibbled, and well mixed together • and Thorley's success in Hull depended upon his using nothing but the best qualities of coin he could get, a n d the frank, honest, and John Bull manner which he assumed with his customers, often personally kibbling and mixing his com pound in their presence—thus securing to him many excel lent and valued ft lends. Seine five years' experience, however, taught Mr. Thorley that he had only taken the first step in the great march of improvement upon which he had entered ; hence the conclusion of a condiment at which ho arrived, the new experimental career upon which he entered to obtain this, and the result the Cattle Food Condiment he now offers the public. The success of Thorley's Cattle Food, like the success of Thorley's Mix ture, depends mainly upon the quality of the materials of which it is composed, con'ded with its honest and proper administration, and the compounding and mixing of the several ingredients, seas to prevent the loss of aromatic and volatile elements, and that without regard to the heavy loss by waste of raw materials; for so long as this is attended to, opposition may retard, but cannot stop, the wheel of progress, LA TE 61 . N E Vi 6. THE WAR IN CHINA. FOREIGN-OFFICE, Nov. 24. A telegram, very imperfectly transmitted, was received last night from Suez, through Alexan dria and Malta, which states, on the authority of the China mail of October 1, that hostilities had commenced in the North, that two skirmishes had been fought with the Tartar cavalry, who had been repulsed, that the allied army was wait ing in a hostile position before Pekin, and that negotiations had been opened by the Chinese, but not in a supplicatory manner. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) ROME, Nov. 24. At the request of the King the whole diplomatic corps have quitted Gaeta. They arrived yesterday in Rome. The Pontifical Nuncio and the Ambassadors of Austria, Prussia, and Russia have received the Grand Cordon of the Order of St. Januarius from tho King. PARIS, SATURDAY MORNING. The llioniteur contains the appointment of Count Walewski as Minister of State in place of M. Fould, whose resignation has been accepted. An Imperial decree confers upon M. Vuitry the rank of Commander of the Legion of Honour. NAPLES, Nov. 23. The following modifications have been made in the Council of Lieutenancy ;—Vintimiglia, Direc tor of the Customs ; Doffiitto, Director of the Interior ; and Silvio Spoventa, of the Police. King Victor Emmanuel will take his departure for Sicily immediately after having received the deputation from the Sardinian Parliament. MARSEILLES, Nov. 23. The overdue mail steamer from Constantinople has just arrived. CONSTANTINOPE, Nov. 14. The Levant Herald states that the foreign re presentatives are about to submit a scheme of provincial and financial reforms to the Porte, and will at the same time conjointly urge its adoption. Great anxiety is still felt by the Porte as to the French loan. A difficulty has arisen on the question of ac• cepting the tenders and terms. Stamps and a new tax on farm cattle have been created. The Galata money market is depressed, and Government Securities have fallen considerably. It is said that Ismail Pasha, of the Danubian provinces, is to complete the late mission of the Grand Vizier. News from Syria is to the 4th inst. Ismail Pasha (Kmety) had resigned his command, FRANCE.

" Our letters from Turin and Paris," say the Nord, " speak simultaneously of the proceeding of a part of the Italian clergy, in opposition to the new state of things ; it is even affirmed that the disturbances which have been already mentioned, and which have led to five provinces of the king dom of Naples being put into a state of siege, are the work of that party who could only find a small sum to assist the defenders of Gaeta, but who no longer want money when the object is to organise and pay brigands, in the hope of thus operating a diversion. In the meantime General Fanti bravely attacks the difficulties accumulated by the provisional Government, and which will render the reorganisation of the Southern army a most difficult matter. As to the Government of the Lieutenant-General, it finds itself in presence of impossibilities, but which must nevertheless be overcome ; the treasury, for instance, is empty, and all the sources of revenue stopped, particularly in Sicily, where all duties have been suppressed and the land tax re duced. Our correspondent at Turin, in order to give us an idea of the pro-dictatorial administra tion, informs us that the 30,000 volunteers of Garibaldi, who are in want of everything, and whose officers only receive 2f. a day, have cost much more than the Royal Government would have paid for an army of 100,000 men. It is just to observe also that the number of functionaries and of pensions and subsidies is incalculable; the whole budget, as has been before stated, would not suffice for them." The following is an extract from a Naples letter of the 19th, in the Debits:---" The Treasury is positively empty. Hitherto they have made shift to struggle on by issuing Treasury bonds and other securities, as well as appropriating the sums deposited in the Bank of private individuals. In short, paper has been issued very freely. M. Scialoja, with whom the King'a lieutenant is well satisfied, has stopped this ruinous emission of as signats, and taken rational means to provide fresh resources ; but he has a hard battle to fight against routine, and a still harder one against smuggling. After recovering theirliberty, the Neapolitans seam inclined to regard that occupation as one of the rights of man. The smugglers had made an alliance offensive and defensive with the can2orristi, a kind of civil brigands, who haunt gaming -houses, or act as wardkeepers in the prisons and convict establish- ments, to whom the inhabitants pay a kind of black mail, as an insurance against assassination. The police had taken these worthies from the prisons to assist them in hunting down thieves. But the coml.- risti, far from having reformed, worked for two masters ; they shared the plunder of the thieves, and received pay from the police. The camorristi and the smugglers had formed an alliance for carry ing on an extensive business without the interference of the Customs officers. M. Scialoja was determined to break up this association, and called in the aid of the carbineers. A conflict consequently occurred the other night at the Mercati and in the Porto quarter, and blood was'shed. M. Parini has given orders for arresting the cantorristi(3oo in n umber) and keepin g a strict watch over smugglers. These honest fellows did not confine themselves to smuggling, they also received the money of his Majesty of Gaeta, and often shouted for Francis 11. A priest of San Gio vanni a Reduccio invented a more ingenious cry. Followed by a crowd of lazzaroni and women, in the Borg° - San-Antonio, he paraded the streets, shout ing, Long live Victor Emmanuel, who has published the decree restoring the throne to Francis 11. !'and, so saying, he tore up:a tricoloured flag, and hoisted a white one with the Bourbon arms. The National Guard did not like the joke, and the Piedmontese carbineers liked it still less. So they at once arrested some forty of th e wome n, with as many lazzaroni, and soon after wlao had made off and hid himself. While I am writing this, a number of women, who have been making a similar demonstration at Fuori-Grotta, are passing my window in custody. Many parts of the provinces have witnessed the same scenes, and in some places blood has been shed." King Victor Emmanuel. has addressed the fol lowing letter to M. Farini, Lieutenant-General of Naples : "My Dear Farini,---On arriving in this city I desired to be informed of the state and wants of the poorer classes, and was painfully affected on learning that the institutions of popular education have hitherto been much neglected. The in struction and religious and civil education of the people have been the constant object of my en deavours. I know that the industry and mora lity of the whole nation are thereby promoted. The liberal institutions granted by my father and upheld by me must be understood by all and do good to all, in order that they may be useful to all. I am sure you will be the faithful interpreter of my intentions. But I wish personally to contribute to the spread of popular education, which I have so much at heart. I therefore have given orders that a sum of 200,000 francs be paid out of my privy purse, to be distributed for this charity to mind and soul. In applying this sum you will keep in mind the advantage resulting in a large city from the institution of popular infant asylums. You will, moreover, take proper measures to call public attention in the provinces to the serious subject of popular education. I desire that the represen tatives of the Government, the municipal autho rities, and associations of citizens, be through your intervention encouraged• and aided in promoting this work of Christian and civil progress, to which, both as men and governors, we owe the greatest attention. " VICTOR EMMANUEL. " Naples, Nov. 14, 1860." M. Farini has entered into negociations with the municipality of Naples for the furtherance of great public works, in order to procure work for the people. He also, by a decree of the 16th, abolished the entrance duties which Naples levied on corn and other breadstuffs. The Espero of Turin says :—" General Turr had tendered his resignation, but it appears that the King's Government would not accept it. The Hungarian corps under his orders is about to be re-, organised at Nola . , a town a short distance from Naples. It is stated that the troops who are on the frontiers will on the 24th begin their movement to take up winter quarters." THE AUSTRIANS IN ITALY. Private letters from Venetia publish some details respecting the number of Austrian troops in the Quadrilateral and Venetia. Austria has at the present moment in Venetia an army of 130,000 men, divided into four corps. The first, commanded by General Count Stadion, guards the Mincio line, and has its head•querters at Verona. The second, commanded by Archduke Ernest of Austria, guards the line of the Etsch (Adige), and has its head-quarters at Vicenza. The third, under command of General Prince of Hesse, watches the lower Po, and is encamped between Rovige and Legnago ; its head quarters are at Padua. The fourth corps, commanded by Arch duke Albert of Austria, is entrusted with the defence of the city and province of Venice, and the Venetian coast from the point of Maestro, to the mouth of the Tagliamento. This army is on a full war footing, and possesses an immense materiel of artillery, consisting en tirely of rifled cannon. The cavalr3 at present does not exceed 6,000 men ; but it is to be increased to 10,000. Independent of these forces, Austria possesses another army of 150,000 men, which occupies a very extended line, and which has for principal points of concentration Brixen, Klagenfurt, Lay bach, Trieste, Fiume, and Cattaro. In case of war, Austria has thus an army of 300,000 men to defend her various possessions in Upper Italy and on the Adriatic. Austria, it is asserted, will not take the offen sive, but she expects to be attacked in the spring, and she feels the struggle will be a terrible cne. The Italians, more numerous and better organised than in 1646, will have a fleet superior to hers, and, moreover, they count upon a pv,v—e-1 Hungary. These facts will rendir the chances of the war more equal, and may, by shift ing the scene of action, to a certain extent weaken the advantages offered by the fortresses of the Quadrilateral. FIRE ON BOARD THE LA PLATA STEAMER. SOUTHAMPTON, SATURDAY. The Royal Mail Company's steamer La Plata took fire between one and two o'clock this morn ing in the outer dock. Captain Vincent, the company's superintendent, soon arrived, and took the general direction of the men to overcome the flames, which raged with great fury. Altogether twelve engines and two steamtugs were speedily got in readiness, and commenced pouring vast quantities of water into the ship. Tugs were also in readiness to haul the vessel from the other shipping in the dock if necessary. The fore part of the ship is entirely gutted. Smoke is still issuing, and some of the engines are still at work. She is much down at the head, having about twenty feet of water in her hold. Two men were brought ashore in a state of exhaustion, having been almost suffocated. Great praise is due to the prompt services ren dered by the Peninsular and Oriental Company's, the Dock Company's, and the town fire engines, without which assistance the ship must have been totally destroyed. The La Plata is one of the company's finest steamers and the loss sustained is most serious. 9 A.M. The fire was got under between 5 and 6 o'clock, and the damage is confined to the fittings of the fore part of the vessel and the ship's stores. The hull is not damaged. La Plata was to have taken out the West India mails on the 2d proximo, but, fortunately, none of the cargo had been shipped. A large quantity of quicksilver was ready for shipment, and would have been put on board to-day. The fire originated in the boatswain's storeroom, but the cause is not known. Not the slightest 'symptom of any fire is left. The water is being pumped out of the ship, and the burnt stems removed. ARRIVAL OF THE FOX EXPLORING! VESSEL. SO UTH AMPTON, Nov. 23. The celebrated exploring Arctic yacht Fox, Captain Allen Young, arrived in Portland Roads this evening, from the coasts of the Faroe Islands, Iceland, and Greenland, where she has been engaged surveying the route for the proposed North Atlantic Telegraph. The severity of the season in the northern regions has been greater this year than has been experienced for 20 years past. The Fox remained in Greenland until the Bth November, when winter had fairly set in. She succeeded in examining and sounding the fiords on the south coast, and proving their practicability for the reception of the cable. The Fox also coasted don a con s id era b le extent of the eas t coast of Gree nland, hitherto supposed to be inacces sible, besides making a series of d ee p- sea soundings. Sh e brings home a variety of specime ns i n na t ura l his photographs of scenery and costumes of the coun triesto ry and visit ed. It is inferred that th e arrangement b etween France and Sardinia regarding the assumption by France of the portion of the Sardinian debt chargeable to Savoy and Nice will involve a sunk of about £5,000,000, and hasten the necessity for a new French Loan. LIFEBOAT SERI ICES.—YARMOUTH, Friday.— The schooner Admiral Hood, of Rochester, was during a gale ofwind from N.N.W., with squalls of snow, totally wrecked on the North Sand, off Yarmouth, a few nights ago. On observing her signals of distress, the new life boat belonging to the National Lifeboat Institution was immediately launched, and proceeded to ho spot where the vessel was lying. After some difficulty she was reached. and her crew of six men talon on board the lifeboat, which afterwards safely brought them on shore. The Coastguard officer and his men rendered every assistance on the occa sion, by firing rocket lines over the schooner, and chiefly by means of the rope communication thus formed, the life boat was suceesquily launched through the heavy swell, 7Ti 7 7r The following letter from Malta is dated Valetta, Nov. 17 :—" The English screw steamer Elba, after laying the electric cables across the two harbours of Valetta, to connect the different forts with head quarters at the Palace, left yesterday on return to Cagliari for orders. She has on board, I understand, about 70 miles of the Bona cable, which she had picked up before coming here, and a cable to lay between Cagliari and Marsala, or between Cagliari and Malta direct, dependent upon circumstances and upon future arrangements." A letter from Corfu of the 29th inst. contains the following :—" Her Majesty's frigate Melpomene has arrived here from Malta. The 2d battalion of the 2d Regiment, under the command of Major Rose, has come up from the Southern Islands, having been relieved there by the 2d battalion of the 9th Regiment. His Excellency Sir Henry Storke has given a grand ball. Among the distinguished guests were the Right Honourable Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton (who has since left for Vienna, via Trieste), Vice-Admiral Martin, Rear-Admi ral Dacres, and Major-General Sir George Buller. Her Majesty's gunboat Alacrity left yesterday for Corfu, carrying a mail for the squadron on that station. Her Majesty's ships at present at Malta are—Hibernia (flag of Rear-Admiral Codrington, C. 8.), Victor Emmanuel, Cmsar, London, Amphion, Scourge, Foxhound, and Boxer. Lieut.-Col. Halle well, D.Q.G., has returned from England, whither he had proceeded on two months' leave of absence." Her Majesty's screw steam tank vessel Wye, with engines of 100 horse power, 4tted out for ser vice during the Crimean war, yesterday arrived at Woolwich from Chatham, under orders to be con verted into a storeship, similar to the Supply. The paddlewheel steam transport Rhadamanthus, 4, Commander F. R. Sturdee, is loading provisions from the Royal William Victualling Yard at Ply mouth for Deptford. The repairs of the steam tug Zephyr having been. completed, she was hauled out of Keyham Basia yesterday and placed at her berth in Hamoaze. The screw steam sloop Ariel, 9, Commander I. R. Alexander, got up steam yesterday (Friday) and. proceeded from Hamoaze outside Plymouth Sound. to try her engines and machinery and observe her leakage. is renewed when at sea. The coppering of the screw steam sloop Petrel, 11, in Devonport Dockyard, is complete, and she is ready to vacate dock No. 4. The screw steam corvette Clvarybdis, 21, from Sheerness and Portsmouth, which arrived at Ply mouth yesterday (Friday) morning, as already re ported in The Sun, saluted the flag of the Port Admiral in the Sound, mid then went up Hamoazeo to go into dock and have her fit out completed. The screw steamship St. George, Capt. the Hon. F. Egerton, made sail yesterday (Friday) morning in Plymouth Sound, and proceeded to the eastward. In accordance with Admiralty instructions the Rapid screw steam vessel will be launched at Deptford yard on Thursday next, the 29th inst. The keel of a new 36-gun screw frigate, to be named the Endymion, is now being laid down at Deptford yard, on the slip from which the New castle was recently launched. The shipwrights are; also employed, on the ships vacated by the Rosario and Zebra, in the construction of two screw steam. vessels, to be named the Favourite and Rattler. The troopship NorwooZ having embarked the Armstrong battery of artillery, from Woolwich Arsenal for New Zealand, on - Weinesday, in readi ness to sail on the following mornil.g by the first tide, was detained at Woolwich pier, awaiting the arrival of the pilot. She left Woolwia yesterday' morning at 9, end was towed down to :4 ravesend. It was stated, however, that by reason of a super stitious objection, prevalent in bygone yea s, some of the crew were un willing to leave port on friday, and that in consequence the vessel would not sail from Gravesend until this morning, or probtblY Sunday. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Commander W. H. Edge, to the Hero ; A. A. S. Watts, midshipman, to the Mersey ; John E, Price, second master (additional), to the Nile ; Thomas F. Simmon, Ist class assist.- engineer, to the Gorgon; James Leathlean, Ist class assist.-engineer, confirmed in the Racoon ; Walter Ash, 2d class assist.-engineer, confirmed in. the Marlborough; Peter AP/Ulster, 3d elan" —:- 6 - - rirebrand; t Jo the HeroOhnTaylor e ( i a n c e L er . , 6 confirmed class in the assist.-engineer, Asa John Retallick, paymaster to the Meander, for ser vice on shore ; and Edwin Harris, paymaster to the Meander. We have to correct an error made in the an nouncment of the promotions of the officers of her Majesty's ship Heio. It was William Parsons and. Francis S. D. Broughton, Mates of the Hero, who were promoted to the rank of lieutenants. TRE ARMY. The East India troopship Tudor, 1,034 tons, Capt. Armstrong, which arrived in the Thames on Thurs day from Calcutta with a number of time-expired. and invalid troops on board from the various cavalry and infantry regiments serving in India, disembarked the non-commissioned officers and men at Gravesend yesterday morning, when the whole were forwarded direct to the invalid establishment at that garrison, The Tudor sailed from Calcutta on the 20th of June last, and has been 153 days performing the passage to Gravesend, including detentions. This exceedingly protracted voyage was occasioned by contrary winds and weather which the vessel experienced immediately after leaving Caleutta, she being 70 days beating about the Bay of Bengal, making the Mauritius. The spot of ground in the rear of the Royal Ar tillery Infirmary at Woolwich, comprising a pi t * of waste and a portion of the Commandant's gar den, intended for the erection of married met2's quarters, was yesterday taken possession of by Me. Downs, the contractor, for the purpose of clearing out the site and commencing the buildings without delay. The contract stipulates the erection of 140 convenient cottages, which will cons id era bly re duce the present lodging allowance, and contribute in a most important degree to the comfort and eco nomy of the men and their families. hi ve ell fu di TRW D.Ar s SHIPPING.
