MosEs and SON. Never was there such a promiscuous gathering on the skating busi ness as during the past week, and never such a display of fashionable and comfortable Dress. The success of E. MOSES and SON never appeared so much to ad vantage, and loud and numerous were the encomiums passed on them by the skaters and the dense multitudes which lined the banks of the waters. It appears that the business of E. MosEs and SON must always • triumph, the best Dress being prepared by them for every season, cold, wet, damp, frost, or snow, variety for all classes, and comfort able attire for everybody at the most economical prices. Skaters and sportsmen all patronise the productions of E. Moses and SON, the style and tit of the Garments made by them being so much superior to any others. Young gentlemen are fully equipped at E. Moses and Sores, their Attire, Hats, Caps, Shirts, Hosiery, Boots and Shoes, Soo., being un paralleled for superiority and economy. , For freezing or thawing times and all other times, for ladies and gentlemen, men et business, mechanics, sailors, and emigrants, the -East and West End Establishment of E.

MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untrade,sman-like falsehood of " Being connected with heir Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITH ANT OTHER HOUSE IN OR OITT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Establishment, 154, 155. 156, and 157, Minoricis, 83, 4, Ilk and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are Principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may he removed, and how the evil and its con=equenc cs may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional c'erallgement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and is the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of thehypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is free. In selecting thi; department of practice, he has been amply rewarded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of' theme eases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.

WOLVERHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY.—The first important meeting of the ironmasters of South Staffordshire, East Worcestershire, and Shropshire, for the quarter, was held in the Corn Exchange of this town to-day ; and owing to circumstances—some of which were of an un usual character, such as the visit of Lord Tngestre upon his election canvass—was most numerously attended. There was scarcely a firm comprised within the district unrepresented. We stated a fortnight ago that at the preliminary meeting held in Birmingham the advance of 20s. per ton, which had taken place upon manufactured iron during the last quarter, was determined upon as the governing price for the ensuing quarter, and that it was likely to e io d n at ha th s e be t e h e e , n h f y ol t lo h w e in to g e q e u o ar t e h rl e y meetings. market to day, perfectly correct. It was understood by all parties that no advance should take place, and that existing prices should be maintained. Upon inquiries made of the leading ironmasters of the district, we ascertained that the demand for iron was extremely brisk—that the books of the first firms of South Staffordshire were full of orders—and that, owing to the state of our foreign relations in the East, parties who would otherwise be disposed to-order, as well as those by whom such orders, if given, would be required to be executed, were alike disinclined to extend business at existing quotations. So far the state of the iron trade is considered satisfactor There are, however, besides the demand for iron, other causes which ' lead to the maintenance of present prices. There is a great scarcity of ironstone and still greater want of coal in South Staffordshire. These great requirements have for the last two weeks been aggravated by the state of the weather, which has ledourkptoc,:much inconvenience ' in . the iron districts. We observed to-day one or two trains of eadmfpotro thens h i i r r e o nore n of th th e is S d t i o s u tr r ie V t Valley although, when introduced two years ago, hopes were fiut has,irt the aee or dirmanufac turefgtotertained of its being considerable of fu aintaining its first repu tation. ofnathlle accounts, bestdescfr!ipilteidonisn The workpeople, notwithstanding the present high price of all descriptions of food, are apparently contented.

I t appeared that an attempt bad been made to open negotiations with the directors, but without success, various excuses having been urged in order to create delay. It was therefore proposed that a resolution should be adopted empowerin,g, the committee to take legal or other proceedings fir the protection of the interests of the shareholders.

LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 12, 1854. INDIA AND CHINA.. We have just received, in anticipation of the Overland Mail, our letters and papers from India and China, in continuation of our telegraphed despatch from Trieste of the 9th, which we pub lished on Tuesday. Accounts from Burmah continue contradictory ; according to some, the dacoits were disappearing condence being gradually re-established, whilst others state that we are on the eve of another and a defensive campaign. The only certain facts appear to be, that the King himself, having more to lose than any one else, dreads the resumption of hostilities, and endeavours to maintain peace, but that there is a strong war party at Ava, headed by the King's younger brother, Meng-dat-Meng, which is in communication with the various dacoit chiefs in our territories, and that the latter, either from a diminution of their numbers, or from the ex haustion of the country, or from motives of defence, have discontinued their depredations in many dis tricts, and are concentrating at particular points. Moung-young-gye and another dacoit chief, with a force amounting, it is reported, to 10,000 men, having stockadd himself near Meaday, while Moung Beau, with another large force, is in the jungles near Pegue. The number of these dacoits is probably grossly exaggerated, but there is no doubt but they are strongly stockaded at the parts mentioned, and that they must be dislodged and dispersed before the settlement of the country can be considered complete ; and, under such circum stances, rumours of war are naturally' very pre valent. A letter from Prome says, There is a report that the Burmese have collected 140,000 armed men, with whom they are going to attack us in the course of next month. The following is from the Rangoon Chronicle of the 19th of Novem ber : " Meng-dat-Meng, the fighting Prince, is to move from Ava with a very large force on the 20th of Decem ber, on which day the ball is to be opened simultane ously at several places. Chiefs with nard names have been appointed governors of Bassein, Dallah, Tonghoo, Shooay, Gien, and Martaban, and Pegue and Syriam ; while the governorship of Rangoon has been conferred upon Moong-young-gye, who has promised to drive out the English, and was said to be at Tharawaddy with a force of 10,000 men, but, according to later accounts, had stockaded himself, together with another dacoit chief, near Meaday.' A letter from Rangoon, in the Calcutta Morn ing Chronicle, dated three days later (November 21st), says : "Reports have just come in that Pegu has been re taken by Moung Beau (or some such name). Captain Nuthall was despatched yesterday evening, about nine o'clock, with 90 of his Light Peguers." These reports are not generally credited, either at Calcutta or Bombay. It is thought that the war party at Ava, have neither men nor money at their disposal for even an attempt towards carrying out such plans. The operations against the Affredees between Peshawur and Kohat, have been successful. They had persisted in closing the pass, though we paid their chief blackmail for keeping it open. It was therefore resolved to occupy the defile with a line of posts, and to build a fort in the middle of it ; for this purpose a strong force was despatched from Peshawur, portions of which blockaded both ends of the valley, in which the principal Affredee vil lages were situated, while the remainder protected the workmen employed in building the fort. The Affredees attempted to break through at one end, but were driven back, and a few days after the valley was invaded, and their villages and stores of grain destroyed. The latest news is that they hare been starved into submission, and had come into the Commissioner's camp and entered into engagements for good behaviour in future. What such engagement are worth remains to be seen, but it is thought that the new fort will pre vent our communications with Kohat from being again interrupted. The force at Peshawur, though still called only a garrison in the Army List, is rapidly assuming the calibre of an army of obser vation. From a list recently published in the Lahore Chronicle, it appears that the strength of force is as follows :—lnfantry---European, 2,700 ; Natives, 7,100 ; total,_ 9,800. Cavalry—regular, 450 ; irregular, 2,000 ; total, 2,450. Artillery— Horse, 400 men and 24 guns ; foot ditto and moun tain trains, 700 men and 24 guns ; total, 1,100 men and 48 guns ; and 100 sappers and miners ; altogether, 13,250 men and 48 guns, a force, it is remarked, sufficient to sweep Affghanistan from the Kyber to Khorassan and back again. In the event of a Russian war, it is re ported that the Peshawur force will be aug mented to an army of observation, which will be placed under the command of Lord Frederick Fitzclarence. The means of so augment ing it are close at hand, as it appears from an offi cial document, lately published by the Bengal Go vernment, that there are at present 60,000 troops in the Punjab, and the whole of them, with the exception of a weak brigade at Mooltan, are massed at large stations along the Lahore and Peshawur road. The Bengal Government has published a report on the administration of the Punjab for the years 1849-50 and 1850-51, which contains a great mass of most valuable statistical and geographical informa tion. From this document it appears that in the years 1849-50 the Punjab yielded a revenue of 1,348,000/., while the civil expenditure was only 828,000/. ; and that in 1850-51 the revenue was 2,519,0001.. and the cost of administration 872,0001. This calculation is, however, exclusive of the cost of the 50,300 fighting men quartered in the Pun jab ; their pay alone amounting to 1,650,0001. per annum ; but a very small portion of this frontier defence of the empire can fairly be charged on the Punjab, and the surplus of the revenue over the administrative charges would certainly more than pay for the augmentation of the army that has taken place in consequence of the annexation of the Company's Sutlej territories. The last eastern mail brought us China news to the 11th of November. At Amoy and Shanghai fighting was going on as usual. The insurgents in possession of the latter place had discovered a large quantity of treasure which had been concealed by the late authorities ; they were making use of it in hiring and arming European vessels, so that there will now be a mercenary fleet on both sides. A Mr. Reynolds, who was taking a cargo of munitions of war to the insurgents, was lately captured by the Imperialists. His crew were decapitated, and he would himself have shared the same fate had not the Europeans employed in the Imperialist fleet threatened to resign in a body unless be was released. He has accordingly been permitted to return to Shanghai. For the last two months there has been no au thentic news from the seat of war in the north of China ; it is rumoured, however, that an irruption of Mogul Tartars has taken place ; that 270,000 of them had been levied, and had crossed the frontier ; and that 70,000 of these had marched southward and had nearly penetrated to Nankin. If this re port be correct, the prospects of the Celestial Em pire are altogether changed, for the Mogul hordes are probably little altered since the days of Gengis Khan ; and the insurgents' style of fighting is far too timid to have a chance of success against such opponents. Lord Dalhousie's reinstatement of Outram at Baroda, though confirmed by the Court of Di rectors, has not yet been carried into effect. The Bombay Government has recently made a most illadvised and ineffectual attempt to injure Colonel Outram in the opinion of the Governor-General. It appears that during the height of the Baroda in trigues documents came into Colonel Outram's hands which he forwarded to the Bombay Govern ment, with the request that they would endeavour to discover their authenticity and origin, but he did not mention that (as subsequently appeared by a comparison of dates) he had himself at the time of writing a clue to both ; tuis reserve(for which Out ram subsequently gave reasons, which the Gover nor-General considers satisfactory) was construed by the Bombay Government into a charge of false hood and duplicity ; and they communicated their views to Lord Dalhousie's Government by means of a despatch, appending thereto—which is quite un usual in such cases—the minutes of Lord Falkland and his members of council on the matter, in which Outram's character was very roughly attacked. The vindictive character of the whole pro ceeding elicited (as might have been ex pected) a most severe reprimand from the Go vernor-General, who expressed himself perfectly satisfied with Colonel Outram's explmation. The general remark at Bombay regarding Outram's rein statement is, It is a very plucky thing of him to go back to Baroda; he will certainly be poisoned there;' and I h ave been surprised to hear this re mark, not only from Colonel Outram's partisans, but from grave and reverend seigniors high in the civil service, who are no friends of his, and have all along been disposed to take the part of Lord Falkland in the quarre l. If th ere a re any real grounds for such apprehensions, the annexation of the petty State of Baroda should no longer be post pub,. (I. An affair is now under investigation by 1 the police, which will prove that, in spite of re peated and recent warnings, the corrupt connection between the Baroda Government and the Bombay Secretariate is still kept up. A precis of the Baroda scandals of the last twelve years had been pre ferred by the secret department of the latter esta blishment, for the information, I believe, of the Bengal Government: It was very voluminous, weighing nearly nine pounds, and it was supposed that a copy of the correspondence relating to the transfer of Baroda fichn the Bombay to the Bengal Government, I ' Dutram's reinstatement (which was also in pre . . tion), would be despatched to Lord Falkland, , at the hills, undeq the same cover. The lat b orr spondence was what the Baroda agents wis -d t o bt a i n , b u t it was put up in a separate cover, and, by mistake, they inter cepted the precis only. Both packets were posted at Bombay, but only one xeached its destination. An inquiry w in,gtituted ; the driver of the mail cart declared stialrcumstantially that the missing packet had d pped into t h e wa t er and sunk while o f being conveyed ; from the cart to the steamer. A similar packet was prepared and thrown into the water in the driver's presence, but could not be persuaded to. sink. The driver was then remanded, and locked up till he confessed that he was in the service of a Parsee attorney's clerk connected with the Baroda lihutput.agency at Bombay ; that his master had directed him to obtain service under the mail contractor, and, while acting as the driver of the mail-cart, to, intercept - a packet despatched on a certain day from the Secr s ctarate, and enclosed in green wax cloth (the distiiignishing mark of the despatches addressed to the Governor) ; he had done so accordinglY, -but, on taking the packet to his master, had been told it was the wrong one, and directed to burn : ;j he had taken it away and buried it in his garden, where, on his information, it was discovered by the police. His master, the Parsee, has been apprehended, and is now in con finement. The latest news from Baroda is that the Gui cowar's Minister had had a British subject, a native of Ahmedabad, seized and flogged (300 lashes) for having expressed his satisfaction at Colonel 0 utram's reinstatement. The acting resident had taken up the affair. You will remember that about 18 months ago Mr. Otway moved in the House of Commons for copies of certain records of the Bombay Govern ment, known as "Dhabegee Papers," and contain ing the proceedings of a committee appointed to investigate the proceedings of the Baroda Durbar and its Bombay agent, Dhabegee Dhageba, in brib ing the subordinates of the Bombay Secretariate. The papers were ordered to be printed, but it was said at the time that the Court of Directors would contrive to evade the orders, and they have hitherto succeeded in doing so. I have recently obtained a copy of the minutes of evidence taken before the committee in question, and I find the case a very much stronger one than I had supposed. I believe that, were these documents published in an unmutilated state, there would be little diffe rence of opinion regarding the expediency of de posing the native dynasty of Baroda. Such an example would certainly do more towards the sup pression of Khutput than all the reports aid minute writings of all the Governments of India. The greatest activity prevails in the Bombay army. Lord Frederick Fitzclarence has assembled a camp of instruction at Poonah ; he has instituted military schools for officers and men, offered prize medals to all three arms for firing at a mark, has ordered examinations of officers in their duty, on their promotion to each grade, and altogether by his personal activity and thorough knowledge of detail is doing more towards raising the efficiency of the army to its utmost than any other Indian Commander-in-Chief has done for 20 years. The railway and the electric telegraph are at tracting many native chiefs from the interior to Bombay. The young Holkar has just been here incognito, and we have now encamped on the island, with 2,000 of his followers, the Rajah of Dhar— Rao Jeswunt Powar, a Rajpoot chief with a revenue of about 65,0001., but principally remarkable for being the head of the great family of Powar, of which (as antiquaries suppose) Porus, the antago nist of Alexander, was a member. He has been admiring the gunnery practice of the Indian navy, the war-steamers now ready for launching in the dockyard, the steam machinery of the Factory and Mint, and, above all, the railway, and will return to his capital impressed with a high idea of the arts and resources of the British in India. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. REPORT ON THE STATE OF THE BOMBAY MARKETS FROM Nov. 28 TO DEC. 13, 1853. _ We have little change to note in the money-market since the date of our last report. Money is still obtain able on the same terms as have ruled during the last few months, and there has been little demand during the past fortnight. We have again to quote a fall in the value of Government securities, owing principally to ad vices of the rate in Calcutta have receded nearly to par, influenced by a report that the Government would be unable to carry out their scheme for conversion of the 5 5 per Cent. Loan into 4 per cent. stock. The rumour does not seem to be well founded, but some large parcels of stock having been brought forward for realisation the market has not rallied from the depression. Since the departure of the mail on the 28th of ' last month, although sales have been effected to a consider able amount, they have been mostly forced, and at unre munerative prices. The goods chiefly in request are gray shirtings under 71b., gray jaconets, and Madapol lams. Cotton.—Since the departure of last mail, transactions in cotton' have been chiefly confined to native shippers. In consequence of last accounts from China and England being rather favourable holders here have advanced the price to 96r. to 97r. per candy for Broach, Jumbooseer : and Surat, and 95r. per candy for Dhollera. Freights have remained steady during the fortnight— to London at 31. to 3/. 2s. 6d., to Liverpool 2/. 17. 6d. to 3/., to China 16r. to 17r. per candy.

THE CALCUTTA- MARKET, FRIDAY, Dm. 3. The Bentinck steamer arrived on the Ist inst., with London dates to the 24th of October, containing gene rally unfavourable commercial intelligence, and particu larly so as regard indigo. We have no alteration to make in our last estimate of the new crop, which, we still think, will be some where about 1,07,000 maunds. The transactions in sugar have been, as may be supposed, very limited, and holders are now willing to submit to a considerable reduction of their previous demands ; the stock in the bazaar is estimated at about 20,000 bags. An active demand still prevails for hides at un altered prices. Shipments of linseed to Great Britain h ave not been so extensive as before, but an average quantity h as goneon to A mer i ca . Jute continues in active demand at full prices. Raw silk, lately in such high favour, is now rather avoided, and the offer of a reduction of 8 to 10 annas per seer is insufficient to tempt shippers to continue their opera tions in the article. Corahs are also partiallymeglected. Saltpetre, though rather checked by the rise in freights, is in good demand at a further advance of 2 to 4 annas per md. The slackness which appeared in our market for cot ton goods a little before the departure of the last mail has not, we regret to say, been removed, the inquiry from the Agra Presidency being still moderate. Scotch fabrics are more buoyant. In mule twist, ordinary low and middling 20's, 30's, , and 40's are in less re quest, while 50's to 100's are in demand with some what better rates. Turkey red- yarns are' only in li- Inited demand, but prices are well supported. During the last few days copper has declined, in consequence of the inquiry from the upper provinces having fallen off. Iron maintains its position, and holders of the metal are very firm. Spelter, lead, and tin plates are without re port of sale. Money continues abundant, and the demand for ac commodation fair. The share market remains very firm. During the last week a slight panic, created by appre hension regarding tt, rupture with Russia, occurred in the bazaar. The Four per Cents. fell nearly to par ; but at the close of the week confidence began to return. Our quotations'inow are :-106-12 to 107-0 Remittable 5 per Cent. Loan ; 101.6 to 101-8 Company's rupee Fours ; 100-4 to 100-8 sicca rupees ditto . ; 102.4 to 102-8 remain ing Five per Cents. ; those to be paid off are quoted at 101-8 to 101-10. Bank of Bengal shares stand at 6,375-0 to 6,400-0. New Oriental Life Insurance shares at 400.0 to 410-0. India General Steam Company 6500 ; Bengal Coal COmpany 1,100.0. The directors of the Agra Bank have proposed to the proprietors to increase their capital from . 63,64,500 r. to 70,00,000 r. This bank is doing an excellent and safe business and its credit is daily increasing with the public ; . its shares can now with difficulty be obtained at nearly 50 per cent. premium, which, however, we think too high a price. Exchange 'with Great Britain has been very steady for the past week or 10 days at 2-01 to 2.1 credits, and 2.1 to 2-1 to 2-1 documents. Bank of England post bills at sight 2-0. On China, with opium documents, '239-0 per 100 dollars. - A considerable rise has taken, place in the rates of freight since the date of our last report. We now quote to London-41, 78. 6d. to 4/. 10s. saltpetre, sugar nomi nal, 51. rice, Si. ss. oil seeds, 4/. 17s. 6d. to Si. jute, Si. to 51. ss. hides. To Mauritius-2r. 2a. per bag for grain.

The intelligence of the rebellion and disturbances by this mail is of a more interesting and exciting nature than we have been able to communicate for some time past, giving the progress of the rebels north, an attack on Shanghai, and recapture . of Amoy. Our advices from Shanghai are to the 20th inst. The reinforcements of the Imperial naval force, noticed in our last, induced the Imperialists to make a general attack on the city with the com bined forces on the 10th inst. They succeeded in capturing two of the rebel fleet, purchased from foreigners, and several junks, but were vigorously repelled by the rebels on the land side and with great loss. Being unsuccessful in their land attack and un able to capture the batteries on shore, the crews of the Imperial junks landed up the river, and com menced pillaging the neighbourhood and setting fire to the houses, which led to the destruction of a considerable portion of the south-eastern suburbs. Much valuable property and treasure was seized and carried off, after which the force retired - , and since no important attack has been made. •A disagreeable collision, however, has taken place between the Imperial troops and the guard and volunteer corps. Late on the evening of the 14th 400 to 500 Impe,rial troops entered the British settlement to intercept some guns about to be con veyed, it was said, to the rebels, and were disco vered by the guard of her Majesty's ship Spartan, which, with the volunteer corps, who promptl y assembled, drove them out. Two of the Imperial troops were killed, and several wounded. Her Britannic Majesty's Consul complained to the criminal judge and commander of the forces. A reply was received in explanation, which has not been published mentioning the circumstance, but stating that the troops were repulsed by a party of rebels dressed as foreigners, and that they did not fire, fearful that some real foreigners might be shot or hurt. This is perfect Chinese diplomacy. This affair places the settlement in a somewhat critical position, and has led to a notification from her Britannic Majesty's Consul to the British commu nity, dated the 17th inst. The insurgents in the city are said to be short of provisions, and, as no sympathy is shown towards them by the rebels, some crisis similar to that of Amoy may be antici pated ; and, if Shanghai be retaken, fearful ven geance will be dealt out to the men in the city. Canton keeps quiet, but a large force has been sent to Tong-Koon, not far distant, where vigorous resistance has been shown to the Government, which will have some difficulty in quelling the dis turbance. The accounts of the insurgents to the south-west mention that the capital of Hopih had been retaken by them, with great slaughter, and the district disturbed, and that the rebels were investing the capital of Oonam, which resisted their efforts before. (From the Weekly Dispatch.) It is said of a man blind from his birth that he conceived of the colour scarlet that it was like the sound of a trumpet. Henceforth, for perhaps many years, these sights and sounds must, to this nation's senses, be suggestive of each other. We must never see scarlet but to think of the trumpet-call to arms ; we must hear the bugle-horn, not any more for the concert or the chase, but as the rally of our red-coats. "To your nts, 0 Israel !" Discussion was lawful and was wise, so long as honourable negotiation was possible. It is trea son, after action has been decided upon, and our honour and our power are committed to the cause of the weak, clothed in justice, against the strong, clad in mail. We must be all of one heart and one mind. Neither the pipe-clay German Emperor nor the MuScovite burglar must be left a "loop or peg to hang a doubt on," from any vacillation in our spirit, or distraction in our councils. We must, Like the Pontic sea, Know no retiring ebb, but hold due course On to the Propontic or the Hellespont. Those who most eagerly desire place, and most ear nestly deprecate hostilities, will find it to their ac count to dismiss their dissent, and forswear their nonconformity, and make their hearts beat in timely unison with the general pulse. We must have no half-faced fellowship. There must be no "recreant limbs" to "hang a calf-skin" on. Hence forth let the Peace Society prove its objects by holding its peace. Let Mr. Cobden, for whose able counsel we have been thankful so long as it was of use, and for whose moral courage and great abilities we will ever retain a genuine re verence, learn to know when he is beaten, and take the cudgel with the thankful meekness of a calico,martyr. We have doubted and hesitated, as long as there was room to doubt, or reason for . hesitation. But there is no apology for either, when this people are at last, as they are no*, fully' committed to the final issue of Pull pull baker." We must not any longer wait upon the motions of our Government. The spontaneous couclamation of a great people must demand of their leaders to be led on to the terrible execution of a providential justice. The whole power of England must drive every blow home. No more little wars for us. Ours now must be—" " He that is not war, that makes ambition virtue. against the exalted equity, oewfreiathcifrvthineer for us is against us—is agains • t his country—is retribution.

The mail of the 24th of September arrived on the 12th inst. ; the Bth of October mail keeps out. The tidings of the northern insurgents is impor tant. The Pekin Gazettes were received at Shang hai down to the 10th, and some say to the 11th of October. We forward particulars from the _North China Herald. We mentioned in our last that Tae-Ping's northern army had taken Peng-Yang in Shan-see, and had passed eastward of 111111g-tUllg• We have no news of its having proceeded on the main road to Pekin, and crossed one of the moun tain passes close to a portion of the great wall, and passed into the Pe-the-le province, an d being within reach of the city Chin-ting, about 30 miles from the provincial capital, Paou-ting, which is about 200 miles from Pekin, towards which they were pushing on. The Imperial force was to the southward of them.

A cut-purse of the empire and of rule, Who from the shelf the precious diadem steals And puts it in his pocket ! To 'spare him, is to trust to the tameness of a tiger, who cowers, for years it may be, under the eye, and purrs under the caress, of a keeper, but who, when least expected, finds the savagery of the Lybian desert to steal upon him, and tears to pieces those who have trusted to his tractability. What better shall we, or shall Europe be, if we drive him to a peace and to a treaty ? How much safer ? How further remote from fresh pretensions, renewed aggressions ? You cannot convince a knave that honesty is the best policy. " Hath ho not cooled our friends, heated our enemies ?" Does he not intrigue and bribe at every barbarian court, from Persia to Japan, to- set the world against us, and to plant his foot firmly in our shoe prints ? Without a perpetual army of occupation in the East, how can we secure the neutrality of a man whom no treaties can bind, by whom no rights are re, spected, who uses religion only to invoke its aid to help his treachery, and blasphemes Heaven by ad uring its testimony to his hypocrisy and his lies ? He must be bound in his ancient chains of ice. No more Emperor of Russia, he must be reduced to his former title of Duke of Muscovy. Finland must be restored to its lawful owner. His Asiatic acquisitions must be rendered back to the dynasties of the East. A king that would play the thief must be handcuffed. A sovereign turned high wayman, and crying " Stand and deliver," to every peaceful wayfarer on whose defencelessness he presumes, must be hunted by having the country raised upon him, and thrust into a cage in fetters. A caution to our people is very essential. England must not put forth her strength feebly and in driblets. The war, for such we see is impending, must not be starved by that par simonous penny wisdom which is pound foolish ness. Had we overwhelmed Napoleon by all our force at first, we should have saved hundreds of millions which we had to spend at last. Let us prepare our minds to grant with alacrity to the Queen whatever subsidies may be necessary to pro secute the contest with vigour, and to bring it to an arbitrament ,with summary despatch.

The millowners at Preston maintain that unswerving determination to vindicate the indispensable rights of employers which they have exhibited from the com mencement of the contest in that town. They firmly de cline the applications for employment, at the advanced rate, which have been made at their respective establish ments. They stand immovable upon their own conditions. And, feelingprofonntlly convinced that, if the manage ment of their own property, and the regulation of wages according to the natural law of supply and demand, are not to be perpetually and ruinously inter fered with, by a knot of delegates, who are the ty rants of the operatives, as they would-fain , be, of the capitalists also, the latter are coming forward in all Wale of the district to join the subscription for defraying the , current expenses of those; who are hearing the brunt 'of ihe battle. • It is to be' hoped that :there will be no hailging back at,this crisis.:. Even' the merchants and hquid-trade dealero feel that they are deeply interwited in this cause ; and, if necessary, will co me forward with pecuniary aid. The masters have been forced to 'Com bine in self-defence. They must, then, break the power of that organised despotism which has driven theni t into a position as unnatural as it is distasteful to them; And, having done th a t , th ey will of course dissolve their'own league. At this moment great surprise and indignation have been excited by the inexplicable 'conduct of a: firm at Wigan, who, after being among the first toad host resolute in urging the other millowners to close their works rather than yield to an unjust dictation; have now gratuitously, and in the face of unmistakeable signs of weakness on the other side, thrown open their faetory at an advance. It seems that some of those in authority among the hands, seeing in the measure now adopted against them the certain defeat of their usurpation, are of opinion that the time is come for prudently securing to themselves as large a share as possible of " the mammon of unrighteonsness" yet at their command. .We happen to know that a gentleman in the north of the county, lately read to his people a circular inviting him to join in the subscription to the Preston :Misters. He said, however, that he did not like to enter into any. thing of the kind, and proposed that if they would cease supporting the workpeople s combination, he would not begin to support that of the masters. Time was re quested by a delegate to take this proposal into con sideration. Meanwhile, though it was not his week for collecting subscriptions, he induced the person whose turn it was to give place to himself ; and, having got together about 1601., he has absconded there with. Other malpractices are coming out. For in stance, it has been discovered that persons who had left Preston, and got employment elsewhere, have gone over regularly to that place for their weekly a llowance. These things betoken the end as near at hand. What consolation will there be left for the honest and unwill ing victims of a tyranny from which they have suffered and must suffer incalculable privations ? The committee of the " Master Spinners' and Manufacturers' Defence Fund" met this afternoon, and resolved, to request the trade to continue their subscriptions on the scale fi xe d at the la, t general meeting, as nothing has occurred to render it advisable to slacken the effect, to render assist ance to the Prtston masters.—Manchester Guardian of yesterday.
