Cabinet Councils have usually been very shy birds at this sporting season of the year; and their frequency of late seems to indicate either a coming storm or making a clearance of the wreck of the put. In either case we must be thankful that Mini sters are at their post, and duly comprehend the "situation" of our affairs. No one will doubt the extreme gravity of their meetings, all things con sidered. The late make-believe decree in the Moniteur for removing the shackles on the Press is now rescinded in effect. We thought it too good to be true, and so did the more cautious portion of the French Press, for they abstained from saying anything positive on the " avowedly" frank boon. The reign of NAPOLEON the THIRD has not yet taken sufficiently deep root to allow the sportive leaves of mind to flutter in the breeze of liberty. He has but half tried the experiment, and seems frightened at the partial consequence. Without a free press no nation can be considered free. The French feel this too acutely to express the agony of their soul. But the day of their redemp tion is near, for slavery and freedom can no more co-exist than light and darkness. We believe that the Emperor NAPOLEON would eman cipate the press if he thought himself safe in so doing. But his fears prevent him. He feels "perplexed in the extreme," and back recoils " Even at the wrongs himself had made." Now, this seems to be true poetical, if not political, justice. He feels like the man hanging on the verge of a precipice—to hold on much longer is impossible, but to let go is death. The news respecting the Congress or the Con ferences at Zurich are much the same as before. Everything seems to be at a standstill. Austria, • true to her destiny, will not budge a bit—nor give up her darling Dukeslmt with her life. She will even tempt iler fate in another and, we hepe, a final struggle to uphold her despotism, and perish in the rash adventure. It remains to be seen bow far (if at all) British int e rests may have been affe c t e d prejudicially in Japan, by the tidings of the disastrous conflict upon the Peiho river, when the prowess of the seamen of England was compelled for once to s uccumb to the furious onslaught of a Chinese ambuscade. The instinctive feeling immediately upon the receipt here of the intelligence of this murderous attack was that the prestige of the Anglo-Saxons could hardly fail to be militated against in Asia, and for that matter it could hardly fail to be so equally throughout the entire Archipelago. The commer cial treaty of peace secured by the Earl of ELGIN and KINCARDINE, at Nagasaki—a treaty solemnly signed by MIDZUO TSLKFOGONO KAMI, NAGAI GEMBANO KAMI,• JNOUWYE SINANO No KAMI, HORI ORIBENO KAMI, IWASE HIGONO KAMI, ISUDA HAUZABRO, the Japanese Plenipotentiaries --was completed only, it may be remembered, upon that very morrow, so to speak, of that more memo rable day upon which seemingly the barriers were at Jut broken down, which had hitherto separated the' ,two great moieties of the human race—tho Chinese to the number of about 400,000,000, and the rest of the inhabitants of the globe to the num- ber of about 500,000,000. It can hardly have failed to reach the knowledge of the Japanese, before the arrival of Lord ELGIN, that the Government of the Celestial Empire had, immediately prior to the coming towards themselves of that wester,n nego tiator, yielded to the blandishments of his diplomatic advances. It is scarcely less beyond belief that the knowledge of Lord ELGIN'S successful mission to the Chinese materially tended to facilitate his subiequent negotiations with the Japanese. Nor can it be doubted that the tidings coming so soon afterwards to Yeddo and Nagasaki—descriptive of the ineffectual attack by the British gunboats upon the Chinese fortifications—will be anything rather than calculated to render the people and the rulers of Japan ready to accord to the English a respectful observance of Regulations, which the Japanese people and Government may now for the moment deem probably to have been only too precipitately conceded. We can only conjecture the probabilities of the Future by the light of actual knowledge and positive experience gained in the past. Guided thus in our conjectures in regard to the probable development of our relations with the Japanese, it should be borne in remembrance what were the preconceived notions popularly entertained among that people in reference to ourselves, almost imme diately prior to " .. .the diplomatic exploits achieved now only a few months since, nearly simultaneously in China and Japan, by the Earl of ELGIN and KINCARDINE. One of the most intelligentof recent English voyagers in those seas has afforded a timely glimpse, as it happens, upon this precise subject—enabling us to estimate directly what was really, as it were, but the other day, the belief in Japan as to the power of the British Empire and as to the character, generally speaking, of Englishmen. The information here referred to is that col lected by Mr TRONSON, of the Royal Navy, and lately submitted by him to the English reading public in a personal narrative of a voyage to Japan, Kamschatcha, Siberia, Tartary, and various parts of the Coast of China, in H.M.S. Barracouta. The Barracouta was one of the vessels in Admiral STIRLING'S squadron, cruising about in those re mote waters in 1854, during the very period when the forces of the Allies and those of Russia were contending under the walls of Sebastopol. Then it was that we learn what were really the views en tertained in regard to England by the Japanese population. Mr. TRONSON tells us upon this head distinctly as- follows :—" A plain-spoken official said, that he understood that England was a very small country in the western seas, strong by sea, and that the natives lived by plundering the ships of peaceable nations, and compelling all to pay tribute. We took considerable pains to enlighten our ignorant friend, and to explain by maps the outlines and resources of the British Empire ; enu merating the various peoples acknowledging the sway of Queen VICTORIA ; and adding that Eng land's mission was to proclaim peace and good will towards all, to defend theright and protect the weak, to promote civilisation over the globe, and to relieve the oppressed. He remarked that all we said was very good, but why go to war with Russia ; Eng land 'and France against one power ? I said that we did not wish for war with Russia, but that Turkey being a weak power and an old ally, it was necessary to protect her. He had heard of England's work in the cause of the African slavcs, and said that our QUEEN'S heart must be good and large. He next inquired of France. I told him of her vast military resources, people, progress, laws, and of her energetic ruler. He could not reconeile to his mind the fact of the different languages of France and England, when separated by such a narrow piece of water." Those contemptuous views which were previously entertained in regard to England by the Japanese may now probably be reverted to as the more accurate, justified, as they may seem to be, by the accounts they will in all likelihood have received by this time from the mainland of the Asiatic con tinent as to the sanguinary discomfiture of the British armament upon the Peiho from the cannon balls and arrows and rifle-bullets showered upon them from behind the despised Chinese fortifica tions. It may seem to the Japanese that England is in truth that "very small country in the western sea" which she was believed to be in 1854, even by officials at Yeddo and Nagasaki—and that the English sailor's counterstatements as to " the out lines and resources of the British Empire" were, after all, nothing better than mere bounce, whatever may be the equivalent for that phrase in the Japanese ; for we make no doubt at all but that they have an equivalent for it both at Yeddo and at Nagasaki. Doubts will, moreover, in all probability, creep into the Japanese mind as to whether England really is, after all, as " strong by sea " as the Japanese, even in their contemptuous view of England-and-the- English, had conceived. It will be known as a matter of certainty that the gunboats were driven back from the forts on the Peiho, that two of them were sunk or otherwise destroyed, that the killed and wounded on the part of "the English" numbered not far short of five hundred ! That the supposed strong Government of France had only one vessel there in the c'mflict—and a force on board of her so small that after all the hours of firing there were only fourteen hors de combat. It will probably be bushed up, or, if known, it will be d'scredited that double the number of the killed and wounded among the allies afloat upon the waters, but more particularly aground upon the dreadful Thud-banks of the Pehio—that, in fact, 1,000 of the Chinese had been wounded or destroyed, even behind the shelter of their formidable fortifications. Every reflection, indeed, combines to assure us of the imperative necessity there is both for France and for England—but more particularly for the latter, bearing in mind the vastly superior magnitude of our mercantile transactions and the immense stake we have at hazard there in the East in our vast empire of Mindostan—the absolute and imperative necessity there is for counteracting the ill effects which must inevitably have been wrought in-our regard throughout the Asiatic races, wrought, we mean, in a single day by that one sanguinary dis comfiture by the Chinese of the armed force of the allies in attendance on the English and French Ambassadors. A demonstration, it is obvious, there now must be on the part of England and on the part of France—a demonstration in the Chinese waters such as shall far more than restore the prestige of French and English in the whole eastern part of this eastern hemisphere. A retribution must forthwith be wreaked by the outraged majesty of the two greatest nations of the world upon that recreant, and insensate, and brutal, and barbarous ecnovatirp:llleitkee, of the Chinese—a retribution so swift, so complete, and h o n s o 11 tb a ast o unding, di nogf a , thatpol political cshall volcano,g l aref i o n r the memory of both Chinese and Japathe, that it shall flame henceforth like a lurid beacon of warn ing down the long perspective of the Asiatic remembrance. MILDNESS OF THE SEASON. —Mr. W. Nicholson, of Gill, in Netherwasdale, has an apple tree which bore an excellent crop of fruit this season, and was "pulled" about a fortnight ago. The same tree has again budded, and is now in full bloom, and very much admired by all who have seen Patriot. THE CAUSE OF CENTRAL ITALY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stit„—We have received from Lord Shaftesbury the eaelosed letter, which we beg you will insert in the eolumns of your esteemed journal. How the notion that Mr. Avesani and his colleagues were asking anything of Englishmen, first suggested itself to the Times, we are at a loss to imagine. We did no more than receive the offers made by several Englishmen in favour of Central Italy. It is even saying too much that we received these offers ; we only asked Lord Shaftesbury to take the initiative in forming a committee to accept them. _ _ _ Certainly, if even this creates a schism—if there is no unanimity—we will not persist any longer. We are, Sir, yours, &c., G. F. AVESANI. B. FABBRICOTTI. JOHN B. ROCCA. L. SERENA. G. DEVINCENZI. ST. GILES' HOUSE, SEPT. 23. Gentlemen,—Allow me to thank you for having so received my advice, and acted in conformity with it. I cannot, I am sorry to say, yet think that the people of England are disposed to show their sym pathy in the way suggested. That they have a deep and earnest sympathy I cannot doubt, but I have not ascertained the mode of expression they would prefer. To attempt to elicit their co-operation in a way they do not like, would expose the effort to imme diate, and perhaps irremediable failure. This I should deeply deplore—not for your sakes, because your cause is so manifestly the interest of the human race, that, under God's blessing, it will prosper at last, with or without the Emperor of the French, with or without the people of England —but I should deplore it for the honour of my own country, which would; undeservedly, be subjected to much reproach; and I cannot bear that, even for a moment, she should be supposed to be indif ferent. Though the arguments urged against the move ment seem to be wanting in force, I see that the time is not favourable. If these things are not taken up at once and by acclamation, they cannot succeed; they are more matters of feeling than of logic. I counsel you to wait awhile. Other events may cause other views, and furnish you with a larger choice of men to aid and direct you. I am, Gentlemen, your sincere friend, SHAFTESBURY. Messrs. Avesani, Rocca, and others. I 061 . Nig:i ) 11 , N A e 4,qtff, THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 27, lgra ADELPIII THEATRE. The winter campaign at this house commenced last night, and the pieces played were the farce, "Good for Nothing ;" the petite drama, "One Touch of Nature ; " the burlesque, "The Babes in the Wood;" and a new farce, called "Love and Hunger." Of the first three, it is only necessary to say that the farce and burlesque were greeted with great laughter and applause, and that the receptions given to Mr. Toole, Mrs. Mellon, Miss Kelly, Mr. Paul Bedford, and other members of the company, were sufficient to prove that they have lost none of their attractiveness in the eyes of the habitues of the theatre. Mr. Toole was specially well re ceived, and his acting in the burlesque was even more droll and humorous than usual. He was ably supported by Miss Kate Kelly, whose admirable make up and absurd yet truthful personation of the rude little girl are perfect of their kind. The success that attended the second repre sentation of " One Touch of Nature" fully confirms the opinion that was pronounced of it when originally produced. Mr. Webster's acting in the piece is a masterpiece, and those who desire to study one of the most artistic persona tions of the modern stage should not miss the opportunity of wituessfng this piece. From first to last Mr. Webster's impersonation is in thorough keeping, and the happy mix ture of pathos, simplicity, and humour which he infuses into the part alternately arouse the sympathies and the laughter of the audience. The new farce, " Love and Hunger," is from the practised pen of Mr. T. M. Morton, and it evidences all those traits which are to be met within his pieces a careful knowledge of the requirements of the stage, ahappy management of the plot, and dialogue which, if not strictly humorous or witty, is at all times neat and telling The principal part is played by My. David Fisher, who makes his first appearance at the Adelphi, and the charac ter is tine exactly suited to his capabilities ; it is cast in the mould of those clever, eccentric, creations of farce life which Mr. Charles Mathews for so long a period claimed as pecu liarly his own. Cool as cucumbers, adroit in address, jauntily impudent, and charmingly vivacious, these per sonages are always agreeable to encounter on the stage, and certainly in the hands of Mr. Fisher they lose none of their pleasantry. Mr. Paul Bedford. Mr. Selby, Miss Kate Kelly, Miss Laidlaw, and Mrs. Chatterley, by their acting, severally contributed to the success of the piece. The farce was received with much applause, and at its conclusion, Mr. David Fisher, in answer to a call for the author, an nounced the piece for repetition every evening. The excellent Adelphi drama, " The Willow Copse," will be revived on Thursday next. In compliance with a wish expressed by Govern ment the next mails for Calcutta and China, via Marseilles, will be delayed one day; they will be made up in London this evening, instead of yesterday. The object of this delay is to allow replies to be sent to the important corre spondence expected in London from China. DEATH OF VISCOUNT ST. VINCENT.—We have to announce the death of the venerable Viscount St. Vin cent, one of the oldest members of the House of Peers. His lordship expired on Sunday morning last, at Meaford-hall, his seat in Staffordshire, in the 93d year of his ago. The Chinese exchanges in the telegram of yester day show an adverse movement of about 1L per cent. both at Hongkong and Shanghai. The cable of the Mediterranean Extension Tele graph Company from Malta to Sicily hes been successfully submerged, and the line is now open for the transmission of messages. According to the latest telegrams from St. Peters burgh, the new financial project of the Russian Govern• ment has not had any influence on the quotations of en• change. THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO THE GREAT EASTERN.— We are informed that the Great Eastern will arrive at Holyhead on the 12th of October, and that on the 15th the Queen and royal family will leave Glasgow, arriving the same evening at Penryhn Castle, near Bangor, the seat of the Hon. Colonel Douglas Pennant, M.P. On Sunday the Queen will attend Divine service at Bangor Cathedral. On Monday, the 17th, the royal visit to the Great Eastern will take place at Holyhead. The public will not be ad mitted to view the Great Eastern before the Queen's visit, but she will be on exhibition for a fortnight after that event. In the course of the second week of the Great Eastern's stay at Holyhead a magnificent banquet will be given to the directors by the directors of the London and North- Western Railway Company.—Manchester. Guardian. FALMOUTH.—The Dutch schooner Pelikaan, from Alexandria, which arrived in this port yesterday, was fired into while passing Tarifa on the 24th ult. The master (J. G. Jansomus) reports that at 9 a.m. on that day, while his crew were engaged taking in their fore and aft foresail, a cannon shot, fired from the fort, struck down two of his men, the ball passing . completely through both their bodies. Their shattered remains were soon after collected and com mitted to the deep. The Pelikaan had no colours flying at the time, and Captain Jansonius and his wife were on deck when the outrageous circumstance occurred. PLYMOUTH, Saturday.—The Lord Dalhousie, 912 tons, Captain T. J. Markham , chartered by her Majesty's Emigration Commissioners, under directions from the Horse Guards sailed to-day for Calcutta, with six married couples, 157 married women, four single men, eight single women, 92 boys between the ages of 1 and 12, 102 girls between the same ages, and two female infants—making a total of 371 souls, equal to 272 statute adults, under charge of Surgeon Superintendent John G. Winstone, aided by the services of a suitable matron, and a few married soldiers who will act as constables. The passengers consisted of the wives and children of the soldiers belonging to the 19th, 20th, 31th, 67th, 80th, and 90th Regiments, now serving in India, from whom they have been separated since thn breaking out of the Mutiny. - • FIRE AT ROTHERMTHE.—Yesterday morning about three o'clock a fire broke out in the extensive range of premises belonging to Messrs. Burdot and Co., the pro prietors of the Rotherhithe Oil Mills, situate at Ordnance wharf, Rotherhithe-street. The flames rose so high as to be distinctly 'seen all over the metropolis. This caused a general turn out of engines. By the thee • this powerful force arrived the whole of the engine and boiler houses, ex tending in one direction 60 feet and 21 feet wide, were in a blew. The mill room, another building about-80 feet long and about 21 feet broad, had become ignited, and the spa cious warehouges had also taken fire. The brigade La boured in a most praiseworthy manner, but they were un able to get the tunes extinguished until a serious amount of property was destroyed. The official report describes the fire to have originated from the overheating of a flue. ACCIDENT TO TIIE EARL . OF SHREWSBURY ANQ COLONEL TAYLOR, M.P.—On Friday night the Earl of Shrewsbury, accompanied by Colonel Taylor, 3.1. P., raid Captain De Winton, of the Life Guards, after attending the review of the Staffordshire Yeomanry Cavalry at Lichfield and dining in the city, left on their return to Ingestre-hall, near Stafford. The night was very dark, and the parts in a phaeton, and the Earl of Shrewsbury, after getting a few miles from Lichfield, ace'clentally drove the horses and carriage against a bank, by which the horses were thrown and the whole party capezed. The earl and Colonel Taylor were thrown on their heads, providentially escaping without serious injury, his lordship being much shaken, and Colonel Taylor sustaining some contusions about his face. Captain De Winton and the groom were unhurt. Fresh horses and a vehicle were, after some delay, procured from Lichfield, by which his lordship and friends were conveyed to Inges tre-hall. LATEST NEW S. The following telegrams have been received at Mr. Reuter's office : PARTS, TUESDAY. The 211oniteur of to-day contains the following : d Under the pretence that the press is not free, several journals direct their attacks against the decree of February, 1852, which go beyond the extreme limits of discussion, and are wanting in a respect for the law, which is inseparable from the loyal exercise of liberty. " Against writers, who have forgotten this, the Government could have made use of the weapons at ,s command. " Not wishing to do so the day after the mea sure spontaneously granted by the Emperor, which released the press from the consequences of warn ings received, the Government, faithful to the principles of moderation, will, nevertheless, not fail in performing the duty which is imposed upon it, to make the law respected, and there fore informs the papers that it is decided no longer to tolerate these polemical excesses, which can only be considered as party manoeuvres." BONA, SEPT. 26. The Bey of Tunis died on the 22c1 instant. In consequence of the energetic measures taken by Rhaynodar tranquillity has been maintained. During the interregnum, which lasted 36 hours, the presumptive heir, Sidi Sadok, was recognized as successor. , He was installed as Bey on the 24th instant, and took the oaths to observe the constitu tion and laws granted to the country by his prede- cessor. MARSEILLES, SEPT. 26. Advices have been received from Morocco to the 19th inst., announcing that a body of French troops had been concentrated at Nemours. The enemy retreated after having attacked the towns of Lalla Niaghrirla and Nedrowna, and set fire to the French mines at Alazig. The authorities have established a garrison at the mines of Gar Rouban, and con tinue to take energetic measures for the protection of the inhabitants. The colonists hope that a military expedition will cross the frontiers, and take as well as chastise the town of Ouchda. ZURICH, SEPT. 26. The Marquis de Nerli dined yesterday with the Baron de Bourqueney, and! left afterwards for Paris. It is said that he is the bearer of a despatch from the Grand Duke of Tuscany (who is now residing at Lindau) for the French Government. FRANCE. PARIS, MONDAY. The weather has become unseasonably hot in Paris The termometer marked 'i6 Fahrenheit at 3 o'clock to-day, in the shade, although there has been very little sun to-day. _ BOURSE, Sept. 26.—The market opened with great buoyancy, and considerable purchases were effected, but afterwards prices again gavo way. Threes, after having been done at 69f. 70c., receded to Of. 30c., and are now at 69f. 45c. Mobilier varied from 830 f. to 815 f., and are now at 822 f. 50c.

THE CAPTURE OF SCHAMYL. We take the following from the Nord:— "ST. PETERSBURG, SEPT. 17. " Lieutenant-Colonel Grabbe, who arrived yes terday from the Caucasus, has brought details of the capture of Schamyl. " Having been sent off by Prince Bariatinski from Gounib a few minutes after the surrender of the Imau, he has brought no written details, but has given a verbal account of events to the Eni- peror. " The following is a correct version of the affair: — "After numerous defeats, Schamyl, as a last re source, shut himself up, with 400 murides who re mained faithful to him, in the fortified aoul of Gounib. Gounib is a fortified stronghold, on very elevated ground, of large extent. On three sides the rocks are perpendicular; the only other side was decmcd impregnable, and it was supposed that a handful of determined men could have defended it for months against any odds. " Prince Bariatinski ordered the attack to be made on both sides at once. The attack commenced on the 7th of September. While the chief attack was made on the only accessible side a number of men, who volunteered, scaled the rocks. The enemy was taken by surprise. A fearful struggle ensued. The resistance was most determined.. Of the 400 murides in Gounib only 47 remained alive. Five guns were captured. "Schamyl retired to a house cut out in the solid rock. The plateau was covered with corpses: We have lost more than 100 men. Prince Bariatinski, who had come up, summoned Schamyl to surren der, and ordered Ms men to cease firing. The Imam asked upon what conditions. " Come out without conditions,' said the Prince. " Schamyl came out, and the Prince met him though advised by his officers to retire, for fear of treachery. " Are you Schamyl ?' said the Prince. ' Yes, I am,' replied the Iman. Well, your life is safe ; you may keep your wives and treasure, but to morrow I send you to St. Petersburg. Your fate will depend upon the will of the Emperor, my august muster.' " Schamyl bowed without uttering a word. The Prince then said to him, I expected you at Teflis ; I thought you would have come to make your submission. As you did not, I was obliged to come and seek you here.' " Turning then to Lieutenant-General Grabbe, Prince Bariatinski said, Start at once for St. Petersburg, tell his Majesty what you have seen and heard, I will send written details to-morrow and Schamyl with them.' " This is the denouement of the sanguinary drama which has lasted so long. But it is not quite over yet. There are many tribes in the Caucasus who still maintain their independence, but the capture of Schatnyl will contribute greatly to their subjection. _ _ The fullowing actails of Schamyl and the war in the Caucasus are of interest at the present moment : " It was towards the end of the last century that the Russians, having become masters of the Crimea, advanced towards the Caucasian regions. They commenced by the side nearest the Black Sea, and in 1791 took Anapa, the other places on the coast falling into their power one after the other. Th., conquest of the lowlands was easy, but when the Russians arrived in the mountains they found them occupied by fierce tribes, who made a terrible resistance, which was rendered more determined by the nature of the ground. The mountaineers were commanded by chiefs who possessed all the confidence of the populations, both for their religious and politic - al character, The most powerful of the chiefs at the beginning of the cen tury was Khasi-Mollah, a prophet and a warrior, who exercised authority over all the tribes on the side of the mountains towards the Caspian Sea. During 20 years he made war on the Russians and died in combating. He was succeeded by a man still more resolute, and who in a short time acquired great each ity—Schamyl. Tids leader was born on May 14,. 1797, of a family of Tartar shepherds who had founded the village of Himry, to the north of Dag hestan. He was brought up by the Arab Djelal- Eddin, the founder of a peculiar religious doctrine, cal led the Souffine, traces of which previously existed in the creeds of the tribes of Upper Asia. Schamyl adopted the new religion, making modifications in it, and taught its tenets to the inhabitants of the moun tains. According to this doctrine, the world is go verned by a superior spirit which inhabits the celes tial sphere, and which every one hundred years sends on earth a man destined to govern his fellow crea tures. The person in question has to attain suc cessively four different degrees of religious per fection to become worthy of his destiny. He is then designated Mourchid or the Elect of God, and assumes the right of commanding other men, of presiding over their labours, and of leading them to combat. By preaching this doctrine, Schamyl obtained numerous adherents, who pro claimed him their chief. He commenced in 1824 the warlike career by which he has gained so much glory. Ho proclaimed the holy war, and up to 1831 obtained continual success. In that year he was hard pressed, and escaped almost by miracle from the pursuit of his enemies, disappearing until 1839. At the end of 1839 he recommenced the campaign, and continued it during 20 years with more or less, but always with credit. The fortress of Gounib, in which he finally sought refuge, having been invested by the Russians, he at last gave him self up under a capitulation approved of by Prince Bariatinsky. Schamyl has been sent with his three sons and the rest of his family to St. Peters burg, and the last accounts from the Black Sea state that he had already arrived at Odessa on his way there." --.0•1111•••••=11 INDIA. We have received our letters and papers from India and China by overland mail vza Marseilles. The following summary of Indian intelligence is from the Overland Friend of India, of Aug. 22 : The unexpected intelligence of the British disaster at the mouth of the Peiho, and the prospect which it renders certain of a third China war on a much greater scale than its predecessors, has given a new Colour to the difficulty caused by the discharge of so many of the local European force. Tho moment that the news reached Calcutta, the universal feel ing of the press and the public was, that the dis charged men should at oncebe offered double bounty to volunteer for a campaign in China, and that a large force of Sikhs should also be sent. It was felt that not only had India an opportunity of repaying to the China force the debt she owes it for its ser vices in 1857-58, but that two difficulties, the one immediate and the other anticipated, would thus be lessened or removod. Were the Europeans who have taken their discharge employed in this service a large body of trained and acclimated soldiers could within one or two months be thrown upon the coast of China in the very transports en gaged to carry them to England. They would retrieve their character as loyal and disciplined men, and the Governor-General, as well as the home government, would be able to recede with safety from a position taken up too hastily. Were 10,000 Sikhs, and a similar number of the dis charged Europeans—for they will probably reach that amount—shipped for China, it would not be necessary to draw upon England at all for men in the present possibility of a European war and ne cessity for being prepared to resist invasion. As the Cochin China expedition of the French has ended in a treaty with the enemy said to be of the same character as that with China, the force there, numbering 3,000 men, with a good fleet, Is set free to avenge the loss on the Peiho. Such a plan as this may have been resolved on by the Govern ment of India, but as yet the public know nothing regarding its intentions. It has taken no action in the matter because no requisition has been re ceived from China. The two first detachments of discharged men have arrived in Calcutta, and all the available steamers have been engaged at Alla habad to send others down. Lord Clyde has issued an order directing telegraphic returns to be for warded to head-quarters 30 days after the date of the registratioz of claims for discharge. But the men are to be allowed the option of withdrawing their names at the last moment. Those of the Sir hind, Lahore, and Peshawur divisions, are to assem ble at Mooltan, and be forwarded to Bombay, via Kurrachee. Those from the north-west and Ben gal have their depot meanwhile at Chinsurah until arrangements are made for them at Raneegunge. It is likely that the whole of the gaps in the Artil lery will be will he filled by volunteers from the line regiments. India is well rid of the light cavalry, or " dumpies," as they are popularly termed. By the month of October next it is expected that Oude will be totally disarmed. Not a tort will remain amid its jungles, save 44 retained for pub lic purposes. So thoroughly has the work been carried out that a percentage of 191 arms for adults capable of bearing them in Oude has been taken or surrendered. In Delhi the percentage was little above 8 for the 21 millions of population. Besides the arms taken from villages by the various military columns which passed through the country in the course of the campaign, the new military police, which has prove& itself most effective, has taken about a million and a half arms of all kinds. About 1,100 Sepoys and 5,618 leave men have surrendered. The trade of India is advancing with gigantic stride.:. For 1858-59 its value is about 31 millions sterling, or an increase of a million and a quarter on the preceding year. That of Bombay is the same ; of Rangoon, 3 ; of Madras, 7 ; of Kurra chee, 21; with the small coast ports we have a total of upwards of 75 millions. The imports of silver into Bengal alone within the last five years reach 26 millions sterling. Mr. Gran, the Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal ; is at present making a tour in the interior. Lord Canning will visit the north-west in the course of next month. CHINA. (From the Overland Friend of China, of Aug. 10.) In our last report hence (Hong Kong) we told of the repulse of the English and French forces from the forts at the entrance of the Peiho river, and the consequent return of the French and English Ministers to Shanghai. We have intelligence from Shanghai to the 2d of August, but in connexion with these painful matters nothing of any moment has since occurred. Her Majesty's steamer Cruiser and gunboats Star ling and Forester still remain in the gulf of Pechili, the rest of the defeated squadron being at anchor principally off the entrance of the Ningpo river. The American plenipotentiary Ward, is still on board the steam ship Powhattan, in the gulf of Pechili, and is as unlikely apparently to obtain a tification of the treaty made by his predecessor, Mr. Reed, as either Mr. Bruce or M. Bourbollon those concluded by the Earl of Elgin and Baron Gros. _ . Of the Russians not a word is heard ; but it is still supposed that they are in the background, and that it was by their aid our repulse was effected. Still there is no proof of this that we know of; while a French traveller from St. Petersburg to Shanghai, ria Pekin, asserts that the members of the Russian mission are treated very cavalierly by the PAingites, and hardly (lave to show themselves in the streets. ll.pe has been suffering severely from his wounds, and it it said willhave to invalid. His medical attendant, when probing the partially closed wound in his hip the other day, discovered and took out a link and a half of the Plover's smoke stack stay, which had been driven in by the Russian shot. The agony which the brave - man must have unde rg one from such i n fli c ti on can on l y be conceived. His Excellency's gallantry and en durance are spoken of by all in the highest terms, and the sincerest pity is expressed for the result of his expedition so far as it affects himself. Captain Vansittart died of his wounds on the lith ult., even before the mail left China. The other offi cers who were wounded are said to be doing well There has been a serious emeute at Shanghai, in which several foreigners have been killed, and others wounded, among them being Mr. Interpreter Lay, who is in a precarious position, his assailant having ripped up his abdomen, whereby the bowels protruded. In the south of China all is quiet, and, apparently, likely to continue so. As we said at the time the news of the repulse first reached us, neither Chinese authorities nor Chinese people are disposed to believe that we have been defeated unless we ourselves as-, sure them of it ; for, in the first place, they deem [ any report of fighting which they reeeive from their countrymen as of the usual stamp, viz., one grain of truth to nine of falsehood ; and in the second place, the fact of the northerns being able to do what they could not, implies a superiority which they are not ready to admit. THE OUTBREAK AT SHANGHAI. (From the Overland China Mail.) Important intelligence has been received from the north. The Chinese there, and at Shang hai in particular, have always been regarded as models of quietness and meekness as compared with those of the south. Even they, however, have now broken out into rioting of a serious character, and killed or dangerously wounded several Europeans, among whom we have to mention, with deep regret, Mr. Lay, the head of the newly-organised Chinese Customs Service, who has been wounded so severely in the abdomen and elsewhere that he is scarcely expected to live. This riot is said to have arisen from the kidnapping of coolies for the French vessel Gertrude ; but the master of that vessel asserts that the Chinese on board attempted to rob him, and he was compelled to fire in self -defence. Both stories are about equally improbable, and their truth or falsehood is of no consequence to tho conclusion to be drawn from this affair. Sooner or later the truth must come out in re gard to China, that the foreigners there have chiefly their own stupidity to blame for the hostility of the Chinese. Kiying, the most faithful and intelligent friend of our interests in China, was compelled tc commit suicide by the Imperial Court because—and we make the charge with pain—he was so slighted and set aside by Lord Elgin's mission that the Im perial Court was led to believe he had been deceiv ing it as to his knowledge of and interest with foreigners. Kwei-liang and Hwa-shana were so slighted by Mr. Bruce refusing to see them at Shanghai, that Prince Senn-ko-lin-sin, the head 'of the war party, was raised to influence. Now there are indications that the brutal outbreak and assassination at Shanghai will be treated in a man ner calculated to increase the evil from which it sprung. Between the coolie and the coolie trader it is a matter of six of the one and half a dozen of the other. There is occasionally fraud on both sides. and there may, very rarely, be cases of kidnap ping. It is too provoking to have our safety in China endangered by the quarrels of a few loose Portuguese and French on the one side, with lying, gambling Chinamen on the other. In spit( of the ridiculous noise made about a few individual cases, the benefits of the traffic are largely in Layout of the Chinese ; and therefore, since they chose to make it as occasion for riot, we should be justified in closing it altogether. But to do this at the present juncture—to dismiss, as we hear the French minister threatens to do, most of the coolies in the Gertrude, would be to commit one of those weak and ill-judged acts which always lay the foundation of future trouble. If the Chinamen of Shanghai are to be loosened from their engage ments and allowed to pocket the benefits, by the somewhat simple expedient of ripping open the stomachs of a few of the respectable foreigners re sident, there, they will be sure to find other engage ments in which similar means may be useful. It they are allowed to escape with impunity, or an approach to it, they will probably have recourse to that gentle pressure whenever they have any other point which they desire too carry against foreigners. THE AFFAIR AT THE PEITIO. In regard to the unfortunate affair at the mouth of the Peiho, we give, just now, only the following additional scraps of intelligence. The Mongolian Prince Senn-ko-lin-sin is believed to have commanded in person, and is described to us as a dark, taciturn, determined, and energetic man, may about 36 years old, and much dreaded by the Emperor. He is a prince of the empire, and severe in his manner. Tho news of the disaster was certainly known in Canton, and we think here also, before the Aden arrived, having come direct overland. The Chinese are unanimous in thinking that the Emperor was afraid of being ousted from his capital by a largc force of foreign soldiers, and relying upon this feat Senn took the responsibility of the affair upon him self. A handbill, with a rude lithograph (not a purely Chinese work) of the fight; making the cannon balls nearly the size of the ships, has been largely purchased here and at Canton. The follow ing is an accurate translation of theaccount it gives, in Chinese, of the fight :-- "NEWS FROM TIEN -TSIN.—The barbarians started from Shanghae on the 15th day of the fifth moon. and on arrival communicated with Senn Wang (Prince Senn), and allowed him three days to take away the wooden and iron obstacles in the river, and he answered that they must stay in the outer ocean until the commissioners, Kwei-liang and llwa-shana, arrived at Pekin, when they would be invited to go to Pekin. The barbarians were not willing to agree to these terms. The same day they tried to pall away the stakes by means of their gait boats and men of war. The forts fired upon them. The battle lasted from the 23d to the morning of the 24th. Five or six hundred of the Sons of Devils (Kwei-chee) were killed, and one head officer (Ping-tau) with more than thirty of the officers (Ping-chung). They (the foreigners) seeing that the fire had slackened in the forts called their sampens to land to attack the forts, but the slacken ing of the fire was a device (Kei) of the Chinese soldiers, and about four hundred of the devil's sol diers (Ping-kwei) were killed. Their boats were knocked to pieces. We have heard that the men of war are to rendezvous at Chusan, but do not know what will follow." CHINESE OFFICIAL ACCOUNT. Sang-ko-lin-sin, Imperial commissioner, Prince of Potolakutai, of the Korchin tribe, reverently pre sents a memorial. He hastens to report in detail how the barbarian ships, disobeying reasonable in • junctions, burst into the inner waters and com menced firing upon our soldiers ; who, being enraged, attacked and destroyed their vessels in a sanguinary engagement, which lasted all day from two in the afternoon till ten at night, the barbarian troops having pressed right on to thevery foot of the wall, where they obstinately fought without retiring. Looking upward he prays for the Sacred Glance thereon. He cannot bear to speak minutely of the insolent bearing of the rebellious barbarians during several clays ; [suffice it to say that] when your slave ' Hangfuh had hastened to Peitang, and written to their envoy upon the subject of proceeding to a personal conference, they paid no attention to him, but reiterated their demands for the complete re moval of all obstructions within a specified time. On the night of the 24th inst. they came in one of their small boats within the iron stakes, and burst asunder w'ith shell two of the large iron chains which crossed the river, and one largo cocoa fibre cable, when they fell in with our guard-boat and retired. a shot vas fired at them from gun s or small s by our men, who at once proceeded to reconnect firmly the iron cables, and stretched them as before athwart the stream, so as to bar the passage up. Early on the morning of the 25 th upwards of ten barbarian steamers having taken up the their position outside the iron stakes and just below the fort on the southern bank, three of them came close up to the stakes, the foremost prongs of which were, by the agency of several swim mers, bound round with ropes, and the ends of these made fast to the sterns of the vessels. Another steamer then wheeled round and dragged thein up, and, after an interval of Mere than six hours upwards of ten of the stakes were pulled _ away, whilst the vessels in position all hoisted red flags [thus showing] a determination to commence hostilit es. To put up with this proud rebellious bearing was indeed difficult, but the reflection that the measure of pacification, which w as now in the secon d yeafire r of process, would be utterly deranged were a once opene d, induced (the memorialist) to submit to it. in s il e nce, and quietly to abide his time, thus and encouraging the barbarian s in their pride feeding the fury of our soldiers. Just as the action was a bout t o commence an officer with a communi cation from the Tautai of Tien-tsing, was sent once more to warn them. The barbarians would not permit the letter to be handed in, and their ves osethe ls, advancing like a swarm of bees right up t ,ccond fort upon the southern bank, bore straight down upon the iron chains tv ice, b u t being all brought up by these, they opened fire upon our batteries. Our soldiers, pent in as their fury had been for a long time, could no longer be restrained; the guns of every division, large and small, opened upon all sides, and at evening the firing had not eased. More than 20 boats now came alongside the:bank of the Southern Fort, and the barbarians landed in a body formed outside the trench ; our natchlock divisions were then brought up to orTe ° . ° hem, and fired several volleys. The barbarians did en3selves not venture to cross the ditch, but threw th down amongst the rushes, and fired on us from their ambush. Such murderous ferocity was indeed calcu lated to make one's hair stand up e. with rage), gang and and to vindicate the honour of th o State, and fulfil at the same time the expectations of the Gove !nent, your slaves were obliged to bring forwa their troops to oppose them w ith their utmost strength.
