French head-quarters, Tien-tsin, Nov. 17, 1860. My Lord,—l have the honour to inform your your lordship that their excellencies the Earl of Elgin and Baron Gros, finding . it necessary to delay their departure from Pekin for some day s, Sir Hope Grant requested General de Montauban to remain with his force until the ambassadors should be ready to proceed to Tien-tsin. General de Montauban declined stopping after the Ist of November, on the score of the uncertainty of the weather, but signified his inten tion of leaving a battalion of 500 men of the 101st Regiment, with two guns, as an escort for Baron Gros. On Sunday, the 28th ult., the bodies of the unfor tunate French prisoners were interred in the Portuguese burying-ground, outside the north west gate bf the city. Almost all the English officers off duty attended. The Roman Catholic Bishop of Pekin and the bishop's coadjutor were present. On the 29th ult., at nine a.m., the ceremony of re-opening the French Roman Catholic church in the Tartar city was performed. Baron Gros, the two bishops, General de Montauban, with their staffs, and most of the French officers attended. The Bishop of Pekin, in his discourse, expressed in grateful terms his acknowledgments to her Ma jesty Queen Victoria and the English army in China, for the assistance the latter had rendered to the cause of Christianity. The ceremony was much marred by therain which fell, theroof of the church being in a very dilapidated condition. On Thursday, the Ist of November, General de Montauban started with his force, leaving a bat talion of the 101st Regiment, with two guns, as an escort for Baron Gros, and after a prosperous, but very cold march, reached Tien-tsin on the 6th inst. His Excellency Mr. Bruce passed us during the night of the sth inst., en route for Pekin. On the 12th inst., his excellency the Earl of Elgin and Sir Hope Grant arrived from Pekin, and M. de Bourbillon from Shanghae. Mr. Bruce returned on the 13th.

URGENT APPEAL.—At this inclement Season an overwhelming number of destitute Sick Persons seek refuge at the ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, Gray's-inn road, and the medical officers are frequently compelled, by want of funds, to refuse admission to many deplorable cases. Unless timely AID can be given numbers of these poor suf ferers must perish. This was the first Hospital established on the principle of free admission to the destitute sick, by their own application, without letter of recommendation, and it relieved during the last week upwards of 2,000 of the afflicted poor. The Hospital is not endowed, but is wholly dependent on voluntary contributions and legacies, which are received by the Treasurer, Edward Masterman, Esq., Nicholas-lane; also by Messrs. Coutts and Co. ; Drummond and C 4, ; Herries and Co. ; Ransom and Co. ; P rescott, Grote, and Co. ; Smith. Payne, and Co. ; Glyn and Co. ; Jones Loyd, and Co. ; Barclay and Co. ; Denison and Co. ; Williams, Deacon, and Co. ; Overend, Gurney, and Co. ; Nisbet and Co., Berners street ; Masterman and Co. ; and at the Hospital from 10 till 5. The undersigned has the honour to acknowledge the despatch of the Prince of Kung, under date the 25th ultimo, enclosing copies of the letters his Serene Highness has addressed to the high authorities of the coast provinces, apprising them of such provisions of the convention signed on the 24th ultimo as require their immediate at tention. tVesers. Routledge, Warne, and Routledge, Farringdon street. On Saturday next, in ? vols., Svo , with Portraits, MEMOIRS of the COURTS and CABINETS of WILLIAM IV. and VICTORIA. The undersigned has also received his Serene Highness's later dispatch of the Ist inst., enclosing copy of an Imperial decree of the 28th ultimo, by which his Majesty the Emperor of China has been pleased to acquaint his servants and subjects throughout his dominions of his entire acceptance of the treaties and conventions concluded with England and France, and directs that full opera- 1 tion be given to their provisions in &very particular. The undersigned has learned with pleasure that ix the capital every publicity has been given to his Majesty's decree, as well as to the.important instru ments to which it refers ; also that copies of both have been printed in the form of a Pekin Gazette for general distribution. The Imperial Government having so far satisfied its obligations, the undersigned begs to inform the Prince of Kung, that, in accordance with the terms of the convention, her Britannic Majesty's forces will at once be withdrawn from the vicinity of the capital. _ _ _ J.

SOCIETY for the RELIEF of DISTRESS.—This Society derives its origin from the following cause : That, notwithstanding the operation of the poor law and the numerous existing charitable associations, human beings, although within a stone's throw of the plenty, luxury, and refinement of this wealthy metropolis, die miserably of 'hunger and the want of the common neces saries of life. To prevent as far as possible the recurrence of an evil so disgraceful to our social system, it is proposed in the first instance to establish a co-operative system of visiting the Poor, by aiding and increasing the power of existing local institutions which have this object in view. To bring to the notice of parochial authorities such cases as legitimately Wong to them alone, Lo aid the police and the Mendicity Society, to detect imposture, and to bring to the care of hospitals, refuges, penitentiaries, and existing charitable associations those cases for which their several institutions were established. Special and urgent cases of distress indicated by the el ergY—ministers of all denominations, medical profession, or agents of any existing Society, will be relieved as far as possible by the judicious application of funds entrusted to district committees and local responsible persons appointed by them for the purpose. No cases will be relieved by money or otherwise at the central office. The promoters of this movement now come forward, not in any spirit of opposition to existing societies, but, on the contrary, with the strong desire to co-operate with and assist them in the arduous task in which they, with such praise worthy zeal and perseverance, have been so many years laboriously engaged. They now claim to be met in the spirit in which they advance, with the sole purpose of furthering, by friendly intercourse, the great Christian object which all charitable associations have in view.

It is the sincere hope of the undersigned that there may be no more occasion for their employ ment; that in the words of his Serene Highness, the shield and the spear may indeed be laid aside for evermore. On the 15th inst, the allied naval and military commanders in chief, with the sanction of their excellencies the plenipotentiaries, agreed that the Shantung promontory shall be held in terms of the convention of Pekin as follows, viz. : It was with much regret that the undersigned, ever the advocate of peace, found upon his return to this country, that the policy recommended by evil counsellors to his Imperial Majesty rendered a resort to hostilities inevitable ; that they have proceeded no further he is willing to attribute to the counsels of his Serene Highness, in whose hands it will be gratifying to him to be able to report that the ad ministration of foreign affairs is to continue. The objects of his special mission accomplished, the undersigned has no further part to play in China, He will be replaced in his ministerial functions by the Hon. Mr. Bruce, who arrived in Pekin only yesterday. Mr. Bruce proposes leaving an officer in the resi dence which it has been agreed he should occupy, and until this be in proper order for his reception he will himself reside at Tien-tsin. It but remains for the undersigned to request " 1. That the ports of Chefoo shall be held by a French force, naval or military, as convenient. " 2. That the Mia-Tau Islands shall be held by an English force, naval or military, as convenient. " 3. That such occupation shall cease when the The following noblemen and gentlemen having combined to form a Guarantee Committee, by whom the entire ex penses of management are to be defrayed, the Society now call upon the public to entrust it with the requisite funds, Which shall be applied, without the smallest deduction, to the relief of genuine distress. indemnities due by the Chinese Government are paid, or sooner if the French and English Govern ments shall so determine." It was also agreed that the French flag alone shall fly at ChefOo, and the English flag alone at the Mia-Tau Islands. » GUARANTEE COMMITTEE. Rig Grace the Duke of W.Devonport Bromlev,Esq.

A necessary communication, &c. Hien-Fung, 10th year, 9th moon, 26th day (Oct. 8, 1860.) Translated by THOMAS WADE, Chinese Secretary. of State for the Colonies, Sir James Elphinstone, Bart., M.P., &c. The usual loyal toasts having been drunk, The LORD MAYOR rose to propose the toast of the evening. To our colonial system, he said, the greatness and prestige of this country were largely to be ascribed. The enterprise of British merchants led them to different parts of the world, by which, combined with individual enterprise, our colonies had one by one been established. As trade ex panded, and as distant regions were peopled, the duty devolved on the government of this country to take those remote dependencies in charge, to see that law and justice were administered, and that safety to life and property . was secured. We have now had long experience in colonisation; in some of our colonies we have brought the system of go vernment to a high degree of perfection ; in all great ameliorations and improvements have taken place from time to time ; and generally speaking our colonial empire is in a condition of which the mother country might well be proud. (Cheers.) One of the most important dependencies of the Bri tish crown was that which was under the immediate rule of his Excellency Sir Fdmund Head, who sat that evening on his right. (Cheers.) He felt he was speaking the sentiments of every Englishman when he said they were greatly indebted to his Excel lency for having administered the Government of that great colony so as to maintain the attachment of all its inhabitants towards the mother country, and that spirit of loyalty and brotherly feeling which now existed between Canada and England. (Cheers.) The rapid growth of the population of Canada had been most marked. He was not quite sure, but he believed he was not far wrong when he said that 3,000,000 of people were spread over that fair dependency of the British crown. (Hear, hear.) The population, too, was augmenting at a prodigious rate, which necessarily involved con tinual changes to meet the increase of numbers, and the exercise of an extraordinary amount of ability to preserve, and, if possible, to increase the senti ments of loyalty and affection towards the mother country, thereby imparting to it additional strength and importance. (Cheers.) Ho could not refrain from making those few observations in reference to so fair and promising an apanage of the English crown ; and he felt sure the company would parti cipate in his sentiments. (Hear, hear.) His lord ship concluded by asking them to drink as a toast, " The Governor-General of Canada." (Cheers.) Sir EDMUND BEAD, who was cheered on rising, in the course of his speech said, his lordship had ascribed to his (Sir Edmund Head's) rule much of the loyalty- and attachment towards the parent state which characterised the people of Canada in an eminent degree. But it was not to any services of his that that attachment on the part of the Cana dians was to be referred. On the contrary, it was to be ascribed to the people themselves and to th e th e principles and ideas they had carried there from mother country. (Cheers.) The peopl e of Canada have and enjoy their free institutions. -TheY e Yed mother a constitution similar to that of the England grew also. 'tien increased so their love . coun try, and enjoying that constitution, as the popula (Cheers.) He might pty re o ss f L ed on o d n on th , e th m a i t .n t d b s er o e f say wthpeouhar appropriate ness, speaking was one feeling strongly in3P and that was that all true the people of edit s Can • roots to the bottom of the within the freedom must stri k e municipal institutions. They had 0 0 f r ganisation of municipal institutions. i f n er c ti a l n e ad so a i a l n It had its faults, but on the whole it was successful. It was well known and understood in England that t h o se institutions were the substratum—the base— on which freedom must rest ; and those institutions were spreading as well in Upper as in Lower Canada. He said, therefore, standing where he did, it was peculiarly apposite that in that, the first commercial city in the world, of which the Lord Mayor was the honoured head, he should allude to the fact that the principles of municipal govern ment were understood in the British colonies, and regarded as the bulwarks of liberty. They all knew from the history of their country that when a help ing hand was wanting, it was to the City of London that men looked to help in the cause of freedom, and that they never looked in vain. (Cheers.) For those reasons he appreciated the honour that had been conferred on him ; conferred, also, in terms far too flattering, and he could not sufficiently ex press his gratitude for a compliment paid him by so distinguished a company. Sir Edmund concluded, amid renewed cheers, by proposing the health of the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor. The toast was drunk with acclamation. Some other toasts having been given, the com pany separated shortly after 10 o'clock. (With power to add to their number.) W. DAVENPORT BROMLEY, F. HAYGARTII, Lieut.-Col., 1 Hon. Secs. WILLM.

Finding that the unfavourable reports of the state of affairs, which had arrived at Shanghae before my departure, were without foundation, I proceeded next day to Tien tsin, where I was informed by Admiral Hope that the army was to leave Pekin on the 7th or Bth, end by starting immediately on horseback I was able to reach Pekin on the morning of the 7th. Lord Elgin will have informed your lordship of the grounds on which it was decided that the Mi nisters should not take up their residence imme diately at the capital. I was, however, presented to the Imperial Prince Kung, as her Britannic Majesty's Minister in China. He returned the visit next morn ing before our departure, and I took that opportunity to press strongly on his consideration the situation of the province of Kiangsoo, the fact that the pre sence of the allied troops alone preserved Shanghae from falling into the hands of the rebels, and the impossibility of our occupation being prolonged inde finitely. I urged upon him the necessity 0f imme diate steps being taken to restore the au thority of the Imperial Government in the province, and repre sented to him that he was misled in supposing our interest would lead us to h old Shanghae for . the Imperialists, if the province and the principal marts in it remained in the han ds of the rebels. I pointed out to him the anomalous, position in which I was placed in upholding t h e andtt authority of a governm en t w hi c h pursued a hostiledefiant course of policy towards us against the insurgents whose professions and declarations, at all events, were couched in a friendly spirit. I hinted that the best means of counteracting these impressions, which could not fail to act unfavourably on opinion in England, would be to send an ambassador as a pledge of the intention of the Chinese to conduct their foreign relations in a different spirit. The Prince listened with great attention and interest. He expressed himself as greatly obliged for information, much of which was new to him, in terms which certainly seemed to recognise the bene fit his Government would thus derive from direct personal intercourse with foreign ministers. After the interview we left for Tung-chow, and arrived at Tien-tsin on Monday, the 12th inst., where I propose staving for the present. Before quitting Pekin it vas arranged that a house in the immediate vicinity of the Russian esta blishment should be taken for her Britannic Ma " WILLIAM," said a teacher to one of his pupils, " can you tell me why the sun rises in the east ?"

On the following molting the Prince returned our visit, and I purposely absented myself, in order that Mr. Bruce, might receive him alone. They had a long and somewhat interesting conversation, in which, as in several interviews which he had previously had with me, the Prince showed much less reserve than the provincial functionaries, with whom we have formerly dealt, ever dared to do, in discussing delicate questions, such as the advisability of the mission of a Chinese ambassador to England. Mr. Bruce took occasion to state that his correspon dence would be henceforth with the Chinese Minis ter for Forcign Affairs at the capital, and that though he was returning to Tien-tsin until his residence at Pekin was prepared for his reception, he would be at hand, and ready to come up at any time if public business required his presence. Before the Prince left I entered the room to thank him for having paid me a visit of adieu, and we parted on good terms.—l have, &c., (Signed) ELGIN AND KINCARDINE. To Lord John Russell, &c. (Translation.) The Prince of Kung, Imperial commissioner makes a communication. In proof of (his desire for) friendly relations be tween their respective governments, the Prince feels it his duty to enclose to his excellency the British Minister the copies hereto appended of the de- spatches he has addressed to the higher authorities of Kwangtung and other provinces, as also to the superintendent of customs at Canton, upon the steps it will be necessary to take in accordance with the provisions of Articles 111., V., and VI., of the con- vention. A necessary communication with an enclosure, addressed to his Excellency the Earl of Elgin, &c. Hien-Fung, 10th year, 9th moon, 10th day (Oct. 29, 1860). (Appended are five enclosures.) 1. Despatch of instructions to the Superin tendent of Customs, Canton. The superintendent is hereby informed that on the 11th day of the 9th moon (Oct. 24) the Prince signed and sealed a convention with the English [or with the British Government] continuing and ex tending (the treaty of 1858). The third article of this lays down [here follows the text of the article in extenso]. The French, however, it appears have during the past year been paid 333,333 taels odd out of the Canton customs revenue. The same rules being in all cases applicable to the English as to the French, the proper course, no doubt, will be to a like sum out of the same revenues to the former. It is at the same time expedient to apprise the commissioner that, as by the convention'this sum will become due on the 20th of the 10th moon ), he will be expected to provide the whole of it out of the current revenues of the cus toms, deducting from it the amount of whatever sums shall have been advanced by the British Go vernment towards the construction of the British factory site at Shameen (1). A despatch to the above effect is being written to Lao, Governor General of the Two Kwang. It is further the duty (of the Prince) to address these instructions to the superintendent. In regard to the remaining (monies due) the superintendent will proceed, in accordance with the provisions of the convention. 2.) Communication addressed to Lao, Governor General of the Two Kwang. This despatch is word for word the same as the preceding until it reaches the Shameen site question, in respect of which the Governor General is desired to deduct (from the sum of 333,333 taels) whatever proportion the British Government will have to bear of the monies advanced by him the Governor General towards the conclusion of the factory site at Shameen. ;The rest of the letter is the same as No. 1.) ;3.) Communication addressed to Lao, Governor General of the Two Kwang. The Governor-General is hereby informed that on the 11th of the 9th moon the Prince signed and sealed a convention with the English, con- tinuing and extending the treaty. The fifth article provides (here follows the.whole article). It becomes the duty of the Prince accordingly to call upon the Governor General to put himself in com munication with the British Minister, and make such arrangements as time and the circumstances of the different ports (in his jurisdiction) may require on the basis of the regulations already in force at Canton. (4.) Communication addressed to the Governor General of the Two Kwang, and of Fuh-, kien, and of Cheh-kiang, also to the Pre fect of Fungtien Fu, the senior civil au thority in Manchuria proper.) This is identical with enclosure 3 in form and language. (5.) Communication addressed to Lao, Gover nor-General of the Two Kwang. [The preamble of this despatch which relates to the cession of Kowloon is the same as that of the foregoing. Then follows a quotation of the 6th article at length. Then] It becomes the duty of the Prince to acquaint the Governor General of this, that he may depute offi cers to make the necessary inspection or partition of the ground, in company with the British officers deputed for the same purpose ; and to consider with them and despatch everything to be done in a satisfactory manner. The lease in perpetuity will of course be cancelled and the Governor General will not fail to perform everything as the treaty requires it should be done. Translated by T. WADE, Chinese secretary.

DR. LA'MERT on the Treatment an d cure of NERVOUS and PHYSICAL DEBILITY, resulting from pernicious habits contracted in Youth, excesses in Man hood, or residence in Tropical Climates. With Cases and En gravings from Life, representing the various Organs in Health and Disease. The extensive circulation of this work may be attributed in great measure to the fact that the Author is the only duly qualified and legally registered Practitioner who for 20 years has made the Diseases arising usually from Imprudence the peculiar objects of his attention. The im pediments which so often either prohibit wedlock, or embitter and render it a state of misery, by disappointing its fondest hopes and marring its highest objects, are; though varied in form, closely analogous in reality. The mischief may arise in nocently, from deleterious influences devolved from the necessities of position—from circumstances which occurred years before the sufferers were born, from accident or the in fluence of tropical climates, but chiefly from Self-incurred Afflictions, dating back, in too numerous instances, to a period lone* preceding that at which reason could be matured by ex perience. A professional prejudice, which happily is now fast disap pearing, though it still lingers with no little obstinacy in some of the more antiquated medical schools, for a long time almost ignored the morbid affections comprised under the general designation "Nervous and Physical Debility," though these affections are probably more destructive and widely pre valent than any others. The consequence of so important a department of pathology being neglected is, that sufferers from the infirmities in question, virtually npelled from consultation with prac titioners of standing and character, are thus liable to fall into the hands of unqualified Empirics, sometimes assuming titles of Physicians and Surgeons, whose names are not to be found in the Medical Register (whereby they incur serious legal penalties), whose ignorant meddling with the treatment of these cases render these disorders a standing reproach to the m edical profession. Those who may have a suspicion that any of the observations here made have peculiar applica tion to themselves, may consider that cases are indeed rare in which practised science cannot fully realise long-deferred hopes, remove all causes of mutual reproach,' and replace chro iic embitterment by permanent content. Dr. La'Mert. M.D., Honorary Member of the London noe -1 pita' Medical Society, &c., is the only le,ally qualified regis , tercd practitioner who, for 20 years, has devoted his attention to the treatment of these disorders.

The following despatches and enclosures were re ceived this day from the Earl of Elgin, her MPjesty's High Commissioner and Plenipotentiary in China: Pekin, Nov. 4, 1860. My Lord,—l have the honour to inform your lordship that Priece Kung paid me a visit on the 2d inst. at the palace where lam residing. He came with a considerable following of mandarins, and I received him with the honours due to his rank. On the day succeeding I returned his visit. On both occasions we had a good deal of conversa- tion, and he repeatedly admitted the advantages which would accrue from the more direct inter course between foreign Ministers and the Govern ment of Pekin, which will take place under the new treaties.—l have, &c., ELGIN AND KINCARDINE. The Lord John Russell, &c. Tien-tsin, Nov. 13, 1860. My Lord,—l have the honour to enclose herewith ranslation of a despatch which I received from the Prince of Kung, on the 2d of this month, embody ing an edict from the Emperor, which directs that the treaty of Tien-tsin of the year 1858, and the convention of Pekin of the year 1860, shall be pub- lished throughout the empire. Your lordship may remember that by the terms of the last article of the convention in question, the withdrawal of her Ma- lesty's forces from Pekin is made contingent, inter alia, on the issue of an Imperial edict to the above effect, and that this stipulation was the subject of a correspondence between Lieut.-Gen. Sir Hope Grant and me, the copy of which was transmitted to your lordship in my despatch of the 31st ult. The lan guage of the edict forwarded to me by the Prince of Kung is very full and satisfactory. It amounts to a ratification and adoption by the Emperor of the treaty and convention in the most public form. I must add that the Prince has shown every disposi- tion to give effect to it. The documents referred to have not only been published in extenso in the Pekin Gazette, but have also been printed on placards and posted about the city in all conspicuous places. These proceedings will, it may be hoped, go far to ensure the faithful execution of their provisions. The despatch in which the Prince communicated to me this edict was preceded by another in which he enclosed, and requested me to forward, letters respecting the cession of the Kowloon peninsula, the payments due at Canton on the Ist December next, and the legalisation of emigration, which had been addressed by him to the local functionaries, whose duty it will be to see these measures carried out. A translation of that despatch is also trans mitted herewith. On the 7th inst. Mr. Bruce reached Pekin, hav ing hastened up from Shanghae, in compliance with my request. His arrival was most opportune, as it was very important that before my departure from the capital I should be able to confer with him on various matters, and more especially on the subject of the place of residence for the future of her Majesty's representative in China. Mr. Bruce informed mo that he was perfectly willing to take up his abode in Pekin at once. On consultation with Baron Gros and General Ignatieff, however, I found that the latter was about to leave Pekin for the winter, and that the former was of opinion that it would not be advisable that M. de Bourbollon should establish himself in the capital until the spring. I considered it, therefore, to be my duty _ _ to advise Mr. Bruce to return with me, for the pre sent to Tien-tsin, and to remain there until a suit able residence should be provided for him in the capital. In order, however, that there might be no misapprehension on the part • of the Chinese Government in reference to this, we selected a house which we thought might be adapted to the purpose, and which was procurable on easy terms, and we accepted the services of Mr. Adkins, one of the student interpreters, a very promising young man, who volunteered to remain at Pekin, and to superintend the arrangements necessary for putting it in order. I think it right to mention that Mr. Wade, Mr. Parkes, and Mr. Morrison, severally intimated to me their readiness to stay a Pekin, if I thought that the public interest would be pro moted by their doing so. Having taken these measures I wrote to Prince Kung to express to him my sense of the good faith which he had evinced in the matter of the publica tion of the treaty, • and to inform him that her Majesty's forces would at once retire to Ti en-tsin. I added that I proposed to pay him a visit, with the view of taking leave of him, and that I should bring with me Mr. Bruce, who had just arrived at ' Pekin. I enclose a copy of the lever which I addressed to the Prince on these subjects, and of his reply. In introducing Mr. Bruce to the Prince of Kung on this occasion I was especially desirous to convey to the latter the impres3ion that the rank and authority of the former was in no degree inferior to mine. Accordingly when the visit which I had offered in my letter took place, after conversing for some time very amicably with the Prince, I requested the interpreters to inform him that with us the person representing the Sovereign always holds the highest rank; that peace being happily concluded between the countries, my task was at an end ; that Mr. Bruce therefore resumed his functions re. it. no.
