LAYING CARDS. DE LA. RUE and CO., beg to announce that their NEW SERIES of Patent Nethographic and other Patterns on their Improved Patent Ivory Playing Cards, will be ready for delivery the first week in November. The New Club House Cards, warranted not to stain, with elegantly figued faces and backs, will be ready, in December. A small quantity of thin Recherche Cards (cartes superfines) will be ready at the same time. A very much higher degree of perfection, particularly in the finish and slip of all these Cards has been attained. Persons desirous of having the best Cards should ask for Moguls, as Harrys and Highlanders are the thrown out, and refuse, of the higher quality. A very large and superior assort bent for exportation, warranted equal to the best home Cards, will be ready in January. AS it is incompatible wi t h th publi c safety that the rights of the people should be unpro tected, and that any rersons should have the power to injure others with impunity, and as the statements which for a con siderable time have prevailed, and which with undiminished influence are still continued, that clandestine proceedings have be en ta k en to the detriment of Mr. Edward Farrell, and that spoliation of his property has hereby been effected, this gross violation of all laws, human and divine, is such an ayocious outrage committed against the whole community, as i t ike right s of all are the same, and evinces such an utter con- PnPt for justice, that if the offenders are not brought to con 4",gil punishment, neither life nor property will be secure. All con then parties concerned are guilty of high treason, as by the covenant in virtue of which the Crown of these realms is held, effectual protection is guaranteed to persons and property ; and this is solemnly sworn to be observed, and for its faithful fulfilment the responsible advisers of the Sovereign are ac lcountable to the people. The virulent animosity which for a ong time h as b een man i fested against ono of the best-disposed tubers of the community—the many attempts made upon his life, and innumerable other injuries done to him, and the refusal of justice in a case of the most outrageous violence that could be committed ; in additiom to many other facts that could be named, clearly proves that the baneful vice of malice has so extensively spread its destructive influence as materially to endanger all social order. The assertions which are so fre quently made in the public streets that spliation of prort has been effected by clandestine means, in o order t o encou p r e age y th e commission of the most atrocious crimes in human power to perpetrate, and it is boastingly declared that vice is n.patronised, and all that is mischievous promoted, this is surely confederating with man's eternal foe to effect the Perdition of the human race, and it is alleged that those who have conspired against the nation's peace have assiduously applied themselves to devise the means which they conceive to be most suitable for the accomplishment of their designs, and 0 forwa r d their views, have fabricated the most unfoude caltunnies to excite e a general prejudice against Mr. Far n rell, d b asely taking advantage of his retiring habits, hoping they 22 0 1 a with impunity gratify their malice at his expense. In con "tsending to notice these most dastardly cowards that ever dis graced existence ; these cold-blooded assa sins, these nefarious nn!iscreants, inured as doubtless they are to the practice of every 4;wce,.he is influerced by a love of truth and justice, which shall ays govern his condt to give the same ful, complee, and aoaolute contradicti on as heretofore to whatever l has been t stated 10 his d isadvantag e , and the same bold defiance is given to his feet to come forward in his presence and attempt a refutation °f what is here set forth.

CHINA. passed his station everything had been completed, and all was still. The detail of this gallant affidr is annexed in a copy of his letter, where I regret to observe the loss of men was more than had been ordinary. The day chosen for the landing happened to he the 24th, the anniversary of our Gracious Qaeen's birthday. I issued a . general order that the salute should be fired, though in the midst of the prepara tion, and it was done even under the muzzles of the enemy's guns. The right column, piloted tip the creek by Commander Belcher, profiting by the local knowledge he had gained the previous day, arrived safely at its destination as the day closed in. The General immediately lauded with a wing of the 49th, and proceeded to throw out reconnoitring picquets. About nine o'clock some detached parties of Chinese soldiers came around us with shouts, burning false fires, but they never came to the attack, and con tented themselves with cutting off a poor camp-follower who struggled a little, taking off his head, and leaving both head and body on the ground. All remained quiet until daylight. On the morning of the 25th the troops marched on in extended lines, and a demonstration was made to the right, where the enemy appeared nearest and numerous in the adjoining villages. But they felt no inclination to approach, and the low grounds appearing more swampy and extensive in that direction than to the left, the Ge neral drew off to that quarter, and we went most cauti ously forward, to allow of the guns keeping up, the drag ging being very laborious, the weather sultry, and the swamp between the hills precluding the possibility of getting any but small guns forward. As we approached the city, four distinct forts were observed outside of the wails, on steep heights, all either T s q h u e a r c e i t3 o , r I r . n o l u l s n din were their ar me d w forms,itih andguns ns e a n n t t i i r e .1 1 i y n inclosed. and the three nearest forts were completely under their fire. The enemy's'troops were numerous within and without, but they kept at a distance, and unwilling to close with the troops, although their distant fire was suffi ciently exact. After occupying several heights succes sively on the advance, many connected movements, the 49th were ordered, with the 37th Native Infantry, to occupy a height on the left nearest the outer fort ; the 18th and the Royal Marines on the heights opposite the square tower ; and the naval brigade to take and occupy a height on the right in front of the two oblong forts near the north gate. From these the different divisions advanced ultimately to the storming. The Chinese came down in great numbers, crowded the ridges near the forts, but the 49th being a little in advance, pushed on and sue • ceeded first in entering, both of the forts on the left with the native troops, but the 18th were united with them ; the Chinese fled towards the city, and the forts were immediately secured. At this moment our situation was not the most secure in face of a force, which by all accounts, must have amounted to 40,000 men. We had gained the exterior forts gallantly, but a warm fire soon came from the town walls, and numerous bodies advanced, drew out, and came under the ridges within pistol shot of our gates. A camp of about four thousand men appeared below; a smaller camp further off. A large body of . men approached th e v ill ages, comman di ng our communication with the beach. The skirmishers were, however, soon driven back, and in their retreat drawing our troops after them, they gradually approached their large camp, and circumstances accomplished that, which prudence would hardly at first have imdertaken. Our men were warmly fired at from the heights, divided from th e m by a r i ce fi e ld , two narrow paths only led to it, but the Royal Irish, led in the most gallant manner by Captains Grattan and Sergeant on ene pathway, the for mer of whom encouraged his grenadiers amidst a heavy fire, preceding them at some distance; and by Colonel Adams on another pathway to the left. A company cf Royal Marines, under Lieutenant Maxwell of the Druid, joining. , the 18th, the Chinese abandoned the height, and began to leave their camp, the troops followed on, a general run took place, and the whole of that Chinese body dispersed, and never assembled again. To the great regret of every one Captain Sergeant was severely wounded, and obeyed orders to lead on to the camp, without acknowledging his wound. A partial exchange of guns and rockets took place during the afternoor., our guns cannonading the town and burning some houses, but during the night their fir ing ceased ; at daylight no banner was to be seen on the walls, and very few persons about them. About ten o'clock a white flag was shown on the walls ; an interpreter was sent to inquire what was wanted ; to whom the Chinese officer stated, . " they would fight no more," and begged to see the General commanding the troops. He was told that when the Chinese General made his appearance, the British com manders by land and sea would treat with him, but they would meet no person of inferior rank ; and it was ar ranged that the Chinese General should be under the walls by half-past three p.m., failing which the fire would recommence. The evening turned out squally, with rain, and no one appeared, but the firing was not re newed, and preparations for an assault were continued during the evening. It would have been easy to have burned the town, and the Blenheim's men brought up 200 carcase rockets that evening. But the General and myself were equally of opinion that such a' measure should only be resorted to as a last resource, and that the storming of the walls, and the possession of the heights within, would be a sufficient and unquestion able proof of the city being at our mercy, and a com plete security to the positions we had in our actual occupation. On the morning of the 27th the preparations were completed fur the escalade, the guns in position, and the walls and heights within the city would have been in our possession in two hours, when a dispatch arrived from Captain Elliot, proposing terms of agreement between the Chinese authorities and himself, and proposing a sus pension of hostilities until noon of that day. The terms were in opposition to the opinions of the Major-General and myself, as they left the troops in a precarious position for some days, when the conduct of the Chinese hitherto was considered; with whom delay had always been used to strengthen their defences, the result of which had always been a breach of faith. It gave another fair opening for Chinese treachery to work, and it took away the apparent symbol of capture,w hich would have been prevented byseeing the British banner floating within the city walls, and those walls lying crumbled before it. The fortified heights in the city once gained, the Chinese troops may have marched out and laid down their arms, and not a British soldier had any occasion to enter the populous part of the town.

Gord o n B r e mer from the late Captain Sir H. last night.) Fleming Senhouse, were this day received at this office, of which the following are copies or extracts : Heights above Canton, May 29, 1841, continued on board her Mejesty's 'ship Blenheim, French River, June 2, 1841. Sir—l closed my former with the detail of our pro ceedings up to the moment the expedition was about to leave Hong Kong for Canton. I have now the gratifica tion to enter upon the details of a succession of opera tions highly honourable I trust to her Majesty's arms, and by Which the large and populous city of Canton has been laid in complete submission at the feet of the Queen's forces. As soon as it was decided that the whole combined force should move up to the attack of Canton, the Major- General and myself were decidedly of opinion that no minor attempts should be made until all was ready for a combined operation, when the whole force should be brought into play, and, having once commenced our measures, to follow them up with vigour and energy un til Canton was our own. I, therefore,. instructed Captain Herbert, who had charge of the advanced squadron, that he was to abstain from all hostile movements, until the arrival of the forte under the command of the Major-General and - myself; excepting such as might be merely defensive. The surveying veeeele, under the command of that able and intelligent officer, Commander Belcher, were sent on, on the 18th, to take up a position about the Senliut flats, to aid in s etting the large vessels over the shoals once more, whee'Blenheitri had already four tinges passed with great good fortune without injury. It was my intention to take Blenheim within sight, and in as close neighbourhood of the very walls of Canton as possible, to form a good depot fur stores, quarters for the sick or wounded, and to form the basis of our offensive operations. I pushed forward, there, with every exertion to prevent any delay of the Conway from the difficulties we might experience. At twenty minutes past three in the afternoon, the Blenheim a nc h ore d o ff Li gen I s l an d; near the Sulphur, and the Atalanta was sent back to tow up the Major- , General's head- quarter ship. All the Chinese pilots had fled, and we failed in getting one ; but on the morning of the 21st the light breeze being fair, and the tide an swering, Captain Belcher felt no hesitation in taking charge of the Blenheim ; and although it had been agreed to collect our force at Wangtong, as another stage on our route, I thought it best to proceed with ray own ship, and weighed at half-past seven, some of the transports collecting round me. At half-past ten we were up to the second bar, where I expected to have found the Chinese bar beats to have buoyed off the channel, but they had all gone. The tide was not more than half expended; Captain Belcher felt confident.he could take the ship over the bar after sound ing and placing boats, which he did in the most rapid manner, against a tide of great velocity. It was done in a masterly manner, and the Blenheim passed the second bar at noon. At two we were up to the first bar. Leaving it on the right, we entered the passage between Danes Island and the main land, continuing our route past French Island until the fortified heights and walls of Canton were in sight, about eight miles distant ; and the ships of the advanced squadron at the Macao Fort were in a direct line about five miles from us. At this position the Blenheim was anchored and moored in five fathoms at low water spring tides, where no line of battle ship of any nation had ever been before, and ready to be the rallying point to our coming:force. By the indefatigable attention of Commander Rogers, of the Honourable East India Company's steam vessel Atalanta, who for three days was in almost constant motion, tinder the superintendence of Commander Bel cher, on whom no fatigue or trouble seemed to have any other effect than to increase his zeal; all the transports and ships of war were assembled, excepting two of the former ; and these having grounded, without hope of getting off immediately; the troops were taken out and distributed in other vessels. No overt act of hostility had taken place to this mo ment, except remounting the guns in the Shamien bat tery ; but the Chinese appear to have been perfectly ready for attack. All remained quiet in the river until about ten o'clock, p.m., when an attempt was made with fire-rafts to burn the advanced vessels. This attack not only totally failed, but was followed Up by a gallant attack on the Shamien battery, and the silencing of it by the vessels of the squadron under the immediate superintendence of Captain Herbert, or the Calliope; and the destruction of a large flotilla of fire vessels, which the Chinese had been preparing and brought out of the branch of the river which leads north of the town. For the details of this gallant de fence and attack, I beg to refer to Captain Her bert's' own letter, of which I have the honour to annex a copy. About the same time, though later in the night, the Alli ga t or was attacked off Howqua's fort; and to show how necessary it was to have been always on our guard, the fire junks came up with the flood tide in a direction with the' merchant vessels" at Whampoa, where all seemed to sleep in security. Captain Kuper's account of his prompt and decisive conduct in repelling the attack, I have also the honour to forward. To form some idea of the difficulties attending the contemplated attack, I must state that the ex tensive city of Canton, with a population said to be 1,200,000, defended by a strong enclosing wall of great thickness, extending sometimes to the height of thirty feet, with a body of troops assembled within and without it, amounting, at a medium cal culation, to 30 or 40.000 men, rests on low ground, ex cept on the north side, where high conical hills extend up to, and rise also within, the walls commanding the whole city, Its front towards the river has extensive suburbs with narrow irregular streets, rendering it easily defensible and difficult to attack. Being also sur rounded by rice cultivation, which is at this time flooded, and only passable by footpaths about one to two feet broad, it is exceedingly difficult of approach, and the use of guns, except of the lightest calibre, is im possible. The great object was to gain possession of the heights to the northward of the town wall ; and a branch of the river, which ran along the west side of the town to the northward, seemed to offer the means of approaching sufficiently near the line of connecting heights to make them accessible. Opinions were uncertain as to the feasibility of enter ing this river and of floating at low water. To deter mine this I availed m y se lf once more of the zeal and great ability of Commander Belcher, who most hand somely volunteered to explore it with his own Loats, assisted with three others from the Pylades and Mo desto, and Algerine all placed under th e comman d o f that gallant and judicious officer, Lieutenant Goldsmith, of the Druid, who was attached to the Blenheim, in that ship's launch,. and who had orders to protect Commander Belcher in his' surveying operations. The Major-General and myself went to Canton to 'make a reconnoisance and personal inspection on the same day, the 23d. In our progres4, we observed a firing and explosion in the direction of Commander Belcher's party ; and Commander Belcher's letter, a copy of which I enclose, gives the detail of a gallant and spirited affair which took place in the creek. At eleven at night' Commander Belcher returned with the gratifying intelligence that he had discovered an excel lent landing-place on a pier, with water enough for the Sulphur,. close to it at low Water. The ground di rectly around it rose in low hills, and 'a line of hills ap peared to continue to the heights near the city, al though there might be swampy grounds in the small vallies dividing them. About the same time other boats returned, with a collection of Chinese craft, sufficient to transport the whole force. I, therefore, at midnight wrote a note to Sir Hugh, informing him of these favourable cir cumstances, and asking hi s opinion as to an imme diate landing: The' Gallant General entered into the suggestion instantly, "to land as soon as possible," for the purpose of preventing any opposition by new defences.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. LAMBETH-STREET. Yesterday afternoon Mr. NORTON, the sitting Magis trate, was engaged from three until six o'clock in hearing evidence on the charge against Jackson, England, Hill, and Brown, four American sailors, for savagely attack ing and maiming for life an English seaman named John Thomas. The complainant, who has been at the London Hospital since Monday week, was brought from that in stitution to give evidence against the prisoners. His under jaw was bandaged, so that the loss of his under lip was not perceptible, but when the bandage is re moved his countenance -will be very much disfigured, the whole of his under lip being completely bitten away by the prisoner Jackson, and he appeared far from recovered from the effects of the savage treatment which he had experienced from the prisoners. On being sworn he stated that on the evening of Monday week he was at the Phcenix public-house, in company with a ship mate of the name of Robertson, and a young woman named Mary A nn Ed en . Whil e stand i ng at th bar the four prisoners entered the house, and one of them in passing pushed against or trampled on the female, upon which he remarked he did not like to see a woman in jured. At this time some of the party had struck his shipmate once or twice, who called out to witness for assistance. He was about to take off his coat when all four fell upon him, and Brown struck the first blow on the left eye. He struggled with them, and told them to act like men, and he would fight them one at ay time, but they still kept ham mering away at him. Jackson caught him while he was in a reclining position, with both his hands on each side of his' head, and sTewed him round so that he got before him, and then instantly caught his under lip in his mouth, and bit it furiously. He sung out to him to let it go,but he did n o t un til h e bi t i t right off, and while sodoing the other prisoners kept striking and kicking him. He ultimately got away from them, and ran out of the house, and was followed by Jackson and the others, but he was not aware that they had done him any further mischief after he got into the street. His left arm, his legs, and ribs, were much injured by the kicks of the party, and in consequence of the injuries he had altogether received he had since been a patient in the London Hospital. In reply to the questions of the Magistrate, the witness said he did not find a great difficulty in speaking, and that he was going back to the Hospital as soon as the examination was over. From the evidence of seven or eight other witnesses, it appeared that while the prisoner Jackson held the last witness by the lip, English and Hill were kicking Thomas in the chest, side, and all parts of the body. A female named Connor, who is advanced in pregnancy, observing- their brutal conduct, called them cannibals, and asked. them if they were going to cat the man, when one of them (Hill) called her a d—d w—, and made a desperate kick at her abdomen, but the bone of her stays fortunately broke the force of the kick, or else the con sequences might :my° been very serious. Jackson, whoso conduct was of the most savage description, carried the lip of his ictim in his mouth on board of his vessel in the St. Kathorine's Dock, and exhibiting it in his fingers exultingly se ,;d, " Thi s i s th e way we serve the b-- - English," returned .it to his mouth again, and ulti mately spat it out on the deok, where it was found, and is still in the possession of Inspector Donnigan. It xas further stated, that on the ,'roved in East Smithfield groaning at the savage and unmanly conduct of the pri soners, England drew his knife crOM his belt, and flou rishing it about, exclaimed, " We'll show you a bit of Yankee fashion," end - on his way-to the station-house the knife was found thrust up his sleeve. The witnesses exam ied, as well as the prosecutor, were bound over to give evidence against the prisoners at the ensuing Old Bailey Sessions, but owing to the ab sence of one or two persons, whose testimony is consi dered material to the completion of the case, the prisoners will be again brought up preparatory to there being corn mitted to Newgate. 1. A small yearly or weekly contribution will secure the most ample return for after life; thus-2Z. 12s. per annum (Is. a week) at the age of 20, will give the policy holder the fel lowin,F option, at the age of 65 Annuity for remainder of life... ......... £47 16 Cash Policy, without further contributions, of 466 0 Other periods of life (of 50, 55, and CO) may be with similar advantages. 2.

In order to meet the views of all classes of Insurers, poli cies are lik ew i se grante d on the following plan, viz.:--WhenP an insurance is for the whole term of life, one- balf of the premium is only required to be paid for the first five years, the other half may remain unpaid, subject to the charge of interest of 5 per cent, per annum, to be deducted at death, or may be paid off, at the option of the parties. Tables have also been calculated, making the sum insured payable on the party at taining the age of Sixty, or at Death, if it occur sooner.

As icon as I had made my arrangements, I found that a strong demonstration of irregular troops had shown themselves to the northward of our camp ; on the 30th a detachment was sent to drive them off, but the rain pouring down in a deluge in the evening, the Chi nese, knowing that our flint muskets would not be avail able under such a torrent of water, closed in on the troops with their lances, and came to close quarters with them boldly and bravely, which only served to show that such qualities cannot contend against discipline and united strength. A company of Sepoys of the 37th native infantry se parated in the thick heavy rain, under the command of their gallant officer, Captain Hatfield, and as the night came on were detained on their way. Being surrounded by a very numerous body of the Chinese laucemen, they *with the greatest coolness and devotion of their lives, formed into a square and awaited with perfect sang-froid the endeavour to destroy them by the long lance over the charged bayonet. Now and then a musket from the centre was made to discharge its messenger of death with much care by two of the officers, but they must have fallen if a company of the Blenheim's Marines, with percussinn muskets, under Lieut. Whiting, of that corps, commanded by Captain Duff, of the 37th na tive infantry, had net then been sent in quest of them. A musket fired, was happily answered from the square, three cheers were exchemged, the Marines coming up, gave their volley—they re-loaded and fired once more, • and the brave Sepoys were liberated. To show the superiority of the percussion. muskets, these had been loaded since the 24th, a period of six days, yet only two missed fire ; on the contrary, all the flint muskets were rendered useless by the torrent of rain that fell. At noon on the Ist of June the troops loft the forts that had been occupied, and proceeded to the village of Tsipoo, in the most admirable order. I attended the General with the rear-guard, no armed enemy appeared; the unarmed people were friendly and useful ; hundreds of them assisting in dragging the guns through the diffi cult grounds, and carrying the materials and baggage. A sufficient number of Chinese boats had been procured to embark the whole body. and about five o'clock we left the landing place, not leaving a musket cartridge behind ; at half-past eight the whole force, soldiers and seamen, were safely on board their respective ships without a single casualty occurring to disturb the successfal ter mination of an expedition, promptly undertaken, I trust ably executed, and happily terminated, with the excep ' tion of a few brave spirits who had fallen, and a f ew more who still must suffer some time from their wounds. A return of the killed and wounded is here added, and although it may appear strange to see the wounded of the Army in the Navy report, yet the two corps had b een so entirely mingled together, their services so blended, and such intimate harmony has existed, that it would be difficult to make any separation between the acts o f either, or the circumstances that concerned them. Commanders Belcher and Warren have only con tinued on that path of able and judicious service on which they have so long travelled. Their own services will always attract attention. Of the Lieutenants, Lieut. Joseph Pearse, Lieut. Goldsmith, Li eu t. Watson, Sir Frederick Nicholson, Lieut. Morshead, first of their re spective vessels, may perhaps be named without injury to all others who well played their parts. To Lieut. liellett, of the Starling, I am much obliged, anti Lieut. Mason, of the Algerine, has won his promotion by a long series of gallant and brave services. I beg to acknow ledge the zeal and assistance I have had from every cap tam and officer of the squadron, whom I have had the happiness to command. To my friend Captain SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

' - On approaching Neishang, where the boats of the squadron were yesterday engaged, I observed the fast boats of the enemy collected in great numbers; part retreated by a creek to the left, but shortly after returned, and manifested a disposition to impede our progress, by fi7ing guns and drawing up across the creek. Our advance, and,notice of our determination by a round from each of the boats carrying guns, put them to flight, and, in a very short period, thirteen fast boats, five war junks and small craft collected, amounting to twenty-eight in all, were in flames. Fire-rafts were in readiness on the banks of the creek, but too well secured by chain, and therefore beyond our ability to 'destroy, during our short stay. The whole force behaved with their usual gallantry, and the commander of the division under my direction (Lieutenant Goldsmith) afforded me that steady, deter mined support which so particularly distinguishes him, and which caused mo to ask you for his co-operation. ealsndforillthp oars, the boat from No casualties whatever occurred.

I had intended to have taken the command of my naval brigade in this column, but the Major-General begged I would remain at his side, and feeling it to be only a sacrifice of my own gratification and desire once more to lead my brave fellows, and sensible that nothing could be lost to the public service by transferring the com mand on this occasion, I resigned it to my gallant and intelligent friend, Captain Bourchier, and joined the Ge neral's staff with my own immediate assistants, Com mander Belcher, Lieutenant Pitman, and Mr. Norman, mate of the Royal Navy.

PRICE 5d Bourehier, united in feeling- by a long course of ser►ice, and of personal knowledge, it has been a de light to me to have been associated with him in this last turning over of the page of life. To do duty with such a person is a gratification, and to know how to win the regard of a superior officer when serving as a junior, is a certain proof of undoubted ability to command. When the gallant naval battalion were being led under his gui dance, to the storming of tho two western forts, which were not more gallantly carried than firmly maintained under the very heavy galling fire, no one who witnessed their conduct will again be inclined to say, that the sailor could not perform the useful duties of the soldier, as well as the less restricted duties of . his own profession. The Commander of the Forces having been desirous that an officer should carry his despatches to the Governor-General in India, and conceiving it to be of sufficient importance, that our success should be known in England as soon as possible, I have directed Commander Barlow to take charge of copies of my letter to you ; and to proceed overland with them, after arriving at Calcutta, without loss of time. I have appointed Lieut. Joseph Pearce, whose services and character I need not repeat to you, to com mand the Nimrod until yotir pleasure is known, :filling his vacancy by an old mate of the station, highly spoken of by the Captain of her Ma jesty's ship ; all which I trust will meet your approbation.

Sir,—All her •Majesty's subjects, and almost the whole of the foreign comninnity, having been gra dually withdrawn from the gictories of Canton in conse quence of notice and recommendation given to them to that effect ; and her Majesty's Plenipotentiary having likewise retired, and embarkedi on board the Nemesis, yesterday afternoon, at about half-past six, simulta neously with this movement, I withdrew the guard of Marines from the British factory, and moved up her Majesty's sloops Modesto and Pylades, for the protection of her Majesty's brig Algerine, steamer Nemesis, and cutter Louisa ; as also the vessel in which the merchants were embarked. I have now the honour to inform you that the force named in the m arg i n ,* d e f eated last night an attack made by fire rafts, ba?ked by boats filled with troops. The Chinese commenced about half-past ten p.m. nearly, the same time that the fire-rafts were sent down upon the Alligator ; they renewed it at three a.m. ; a fire in the mean time being kept up at intervals from two or three points in the western suburb, which was answered by oc;!asional shots from her Majesty's ships. At daylight, this morning, the.western fort (in the Shamien suburb), which they have'recently repaired, re armed, and added considerable outwarks to, mounting very heavy guns, opened a warm fire upon the ships, I immediately directed them to weigh, and proceed to silence it, which they accomplished in half an hour. A large number of war-junks, armed fishing boats, and fire-rafts, were now seen bearing down on the ships from the than el, which runs on the west side of the city, from whence also the fire-rafts of the previous night had come down. I acecrdlngly ordered up the Nemesis, and the boats of the ships before mentioned, with those of the Calliope and Herald, and the result has been that from 30 to 35 war-junks and fishing vessels, manned by troops, both Tartar and Chinese, from several different provinces of the empire, have been run on shore and destroyed, as also nearly 50 small boats filled with combustibles; these were joined eight or nine together to form fire-rafts, their wrecks are lining both banks of the river, nearly close up to . .Tsint - ; I'oo, the landing place tkere, from which a good approach appears to lead direct (not more than four miles) to the north gate of the city wall, with dry footing the whole way. My constant thanks are due to Captain Nias for his great zeal and assistance, and on this occasion I cannot withhold my best acknowledgements from Com manders Lyres and Anson, and Lieutenant Mason, commanding the Algerine, for the judicious manner in which they brought their ships into action. They speak in the highest terms of their officers and ships' companies, and the Captains particularly recommend their Senior Lieutenants, viz., Peter Fisher, 11. G. Shute, and John Hay. I am also proud to bear testimony to their gallant conduct in destroying and towing the five vessels clear of the ships, as also to the officers named in the margin f employed in the boats on this service. Mr. Hall, commanding the Nemesis, his officers and crew, acquitted th emse l ves to my ent i re satisfaction, as also Mr. Thomas Carmichael, mate of the Wellesley, in command of the Louizn, cutter. I cannot let this opportunity pass without mentioning Lieutenant D'Eyncourt, of the Calliope, who has gene rally accompanied me, since I have had the honour to command the advanced squadron. I return a list of casualties which I am happy to say are slight. I have the honour to be, &c., T. HERBERT, Captain H.M.S. Calliope, and Senior Oflider commanding advanced squadron. Captain Sir H. Le Fleming Senhouse, K.C.H., her Majesty's Ship Blenheim, Senior Officer on the China Coast. Her Majesty's Ship Alligator, off How qua F o ll y , May 22, 1841. hare the honour to acquaint y, that last night, at s h or tly a f ter twelve o'clock, an ou attack was made by the Chinese upon her Majesty's ship Alli gator, under my command, by fire rafts ; they were chained in pairs, and brought down in a direct line for the ship, on a flood tide. Owing to the confined position I was in, and the sunken junks and line of stakes astern, I could not slip ; but by sheering the ship, and the activity of Lieutenant Stewart, first of this ship, and Messrs. Woolcombe and Baker, mates, in command of the boats, they were towed clear, although they passed within ten yards of the bows. As I had reason to believe that a considerable force was assembled in the vicinity, to take advantage of any acci dent that might occur, I fired several shots on both sides to clear the banks.; no damage has been sustained. 1 have, &c., AUGUSTUS L. KUPAR, Captain acting. To Captain Herbert, Commanding the Advanced Squadron. Her Majesty's Ship Sulphur, off Canton, May 23, 1841. Sir—ln pursuance of your directions, I proceeded up the creek on the western side of Canton, in order to ex amine the nature of the country ; our force consisting of the Druid's launch, Lieutenant Goldsmith (first licute tenant of that ship), Sulphur's pinnace, and two cutters, Modeste, Pylades, and Algerine's cutters, Starling's cutter, and my gig ; the two first named boats carrying guns. l'te:lee r il , ING SUN. of her accomplishing the passage, fitted shell guns in three of the captured war-junks. Captain Eyre's having succeeded, by great exertion, in getting his vessel over the bar, I this morninr , moored her, Algerine, a n d t h e gun junks on the French fort, the enemy deserted the upper defences, and about 9 .1.31. opened their fire from the fort, which was speedily silenced; I then cleared the beach by a few well directed broadsides, and made th e s i gn a l to advance. Captain Pethune immediately landed with the storming party, and the 'fort was carried in the most gallant style ; the whole line of defence, extending about two miles from the Factory, which, with the ex ception of the French fort, had been lately constructed in the strongest manner, has beets destroyed, and co m munication is opened with the ships at Napier's fort; the guns destroyed are sixty-four in number, including four ten and a half inch calibre; the Dutch fort was not armed. To that excellent and able officer Captain Bethune I feel particularly indebted, and my best thanks ere also due to Commanders Warren and Giffiud, who as sisted in the attack. This is the sixth time I have had occasion to mention the gallant conduct of Commander Eyres ; Lieutenant Mason, commanding the Algerine, acquitted himself entirely to my satisfaction, and both Captain Eyres and himself speak in the highest terms of the assistance they received from Lieutenant Shute and Mr. Dolling (mate), their seconds in command, and all the other officers and crew. Lieutenants Haskell and Hay, Senior of the Cruiser and Pylades, directed the guns in the junks with great ability. Captain Bethune speaks in the highest terms of Lieu tenants Watson, Beadon, Coryton, Collinson, Morshead, Hayes, Hamilton, and Mr. Brown (master) ; as also Lieutenant Reeves, of the Bombay Marine ; and of all the other officers and men employed more immediately under his orders, a list of whom is. annexed. Th party of marines was commanded by Lieutenant Ur quhart, assisted by Lieutenant Marriott, Lieutenant Somerville, agent of transports, aided with some boats of the transports. Lieutenant Gabbott, of the Madras Artillery, threw shells ' with great effect from one of the junks, and Major Pratt offered in the handsomest manner to co operate in the attack if required. I enclose a list of vessels captured, afloat, and building. I have the honour to be, &c. T. HERBERT, Captain of her Majesty's ship Calliope, add Senior Officer present. To Captain. Sir. H. de Fleming Senhouse, &c., &c., &c. Her Majesty's Ship IlYacinth;reieimtrin, MaT26, 1841. - ' l4. Sir,—l have the honour to acquaint you, that imme diately on the receipt of your letter of the 24th instant. I weighed with the advanced squadron, and ordered her Majesty's ship Nimrod, to attack the Shamien fart, on the west end of the suburbs, supported by her Ma, jesty's sloop Pylades. Her Majesty's sloop under com mand being abreast of the English factory to silence nod dislodge any troops that might be there, and also with a view of covering the landing of her M a j es ty' s 2G t h rrgi ment. Her Majesty's sloops Modeste, Cruiser, anA Os lumbine taking up a position to attack the Dntelfleily fort, and to enfilade the lino of batteries lately thrown up in front of the city to the eastward of that fort. On the ships taking up their position, three fire vessels were sent adrift ; and although the tide was running very strong, by timely dispatch of boats, they were en abled to clear the ships and tow them ashore, and set fire to the suburbs. Ia the performance of this service they opened their fire on the boats and shipping. In half an hour the enemy were completely silenced to the eastward of the Dutch Folly fort. After reconnoitring the Factory, and finding it quite deserted, I immediately ordered the precoucerted signal for her Majesty's brig Algerine and Atalanta steamer to approach with her Ma jesty's 26th regiment, when they landed and took pos session of the Factory, without the slightest casualty. This service being completed, I ordered Lieut. Mason, her Majesty's brig Algerine to proceed to attack a fort to the eastward, which I feel much pleasure in reporting to you was done in a particularly spirited and gallant style by that officer, but perceiving the firing to be so heavy f rom t h e f orts, I or d ere d t h e boats of her Majesty's ships to her support, her Ma jesty's sloop Hyacinth, under Lieut. Stewart, and Mr. Peter Barclay, mace ; Modeste, Mr. Fitzgerald, mate ; Cruiser, Lieutenant Haskell and Mr. Thomas .G. Drake, mato ; Pylades, Lieutenant Hay ; and Colum bine, Lieutenant Hamilton, Helpmen, and Mr. Millen, mate. It is gratifying to me to inform you by half -past seven the fort of eleven guns were silenced, and theguns spiked under a heavy fire ofjingals and musketry from the houses ; at the same time, I regret to add, it was not done without considerable loss. It would be impossibit, to particularise upon an occasion when every officer and man engaged against the enemy defended themselves with much vigour at all points ; but in addition to my best thanks and acknowledgments to Commanders Bar low, Eyres, Giffard, Anson, tlact Clarke, and Lieutenant Mason, I hope you will give me leave to recommend to your particular notice, my own First Lieutenant, W. H. Morshead, who was wounded in the hand, in a personal engagement with a Mandarin. Lieutenant Mason, of the Algerine, speaks in the highest terms of the conduct. of Mr. Dolling, Mate, and Mr. Higgs. SeeOnd Master of that vessel. I cannot conclude without expression of my appyobation of the steadiness of Commander Rogers, of the Indian navy, in conducting the Atalanta to her station. I beg leave to attach a statement of the killed and wounded, and damage sustained by the ships engaged. 1 have, &c. W. WARREN, Command r. To Captain Sir Hu m ph re y L e Fl em i ng S enhouse, &c.

Sir—Captain Maitland being absent on service, I have the honour to inform you that, on the evening of the 24th, the Chinese made a most formidable and well planned attempt to burn her Majesty's ship Wellesley. At fifty-five minutes past eleven, P.m., a number of fire vessels were observed directly a head of us ; the flood tide having then made. about an hour. The barge and two cutters were immediately dispatched, under the command of Lieutenant Lord William Compton and Acting Lieutenants Fowler and Astle, the rest being away with Captain Maitland, but I am happy to inform you that, from the great exertions of both officers and . men, in these our few but only boats ; the whole flotilla was towed clear without doing the slightest injury; although there were near twenty vessels, most of them • chained in couples, an d some th ree together, and of these four teen or sixteen passed very near on either side of the ship, and blew up when abreast of us. • .; • I have thelonour to be, &c.
