Colonel ROBERT ALEXANDER, Blackheath Park, CIIAIEWAN. The marked testimony in favour of life assurance evinced by the Legislature in the exemption from income tax of the premiums raid for the benefit of a surviving family, is deserving the most serious attention of all classes; not only on account of the actual saving, but also on account of the high estimation in which it proves that the system of life assurance generally is held by the Government of the country.

PROBABLE CONSEQUENCES.—It is very probable the Emperor of Russia will get more than he bar gained for, and, more probable, he will meet with an interruption called a complete defeat. The forces of England and France will Probably cut such a figure as will leave no doubt of the consequences of the affray. All countries look upon the issue with as much in. terest as all classes feel in witnessing the unity of the skill of Eng land, France, and every other nation, as it is displayed by E. MOSES and SON in their maznificent Spring and Summer Attire, which ' evinces unparalleled experience and inimitable business activity, and will ensure the most brilliant success for their City and West-end Establishments. The numberless novelties in materials and designs in Dress for all classes, and the most economical charges for Attire, Bespoke or Ready-made, will claim the attention of ladies and gen tlemen in every section in society. Whatever conjectures may have been made respecting the Spring and Summer preparations of E. MosEs and SoN, the most probable consequence is that they are des tined to be infinitely surpassed, for at no period of time and by no house of business whatever were ever collected such a Splendid, Fashionable, and Seasonable Stock of Clothinsr, Hats, Hosiery, Ladies' Mess Boots and Shoes, &c., as at the Establishments of E. MOSES and Son at the present time. All necessary information is gratuitously supplied by E. MOSES and s oN to Emigrants, and the best and cheapest Outfits to any country and climate are furnished for Ladies, Gentlemen, and Families. E. MOSES and Son's immense Wholesale Clothing, Shirt, and Beot and Shoe Department, furnishes the greatest advantages to Mer chants, Captains, and Emigrants, in the superior quality, suitability, and price of the goods. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against llnDOSlllOn,halring learned that the untradesman-like falsehood of " Being connected with their 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 ANY OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Establishment, 154, 155. 156, and 157 Minories, 84 85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

ON THE naLosorny OF MARRIAGE, AND THE SECRET INFIRMITIES OF YOUTH, MANHOOD, AND OLD AGE. Just Published, 60th Edition, price 2s. 6d.. or free by post for forty two stamps, SELF-PRESERVATI ON a Popular Treatise on the Physiology and Functions of Mar riage, with its Disqualifications and Impediments, tracing their origin to the effects of solitary habits, youthful excess, tropical climates, or close study ; followed by practical remarks, founded on twenty years' experience in the treatme nt of Impuissance, Nervous Debility, Local Weakness, Sperniatorrhcea, and all diseases of the Urinary and Generative System. Illustrated by 50 coloured Engrav ings, on the Anatomy of the Reproductive Organs and their relative conditions in Health and Disease. By SAMUEL LA'MERT, LO 37, BEDFORD - SQUARE , NDON, Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &C. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting irom certain habits, irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern p atholo g ists. Its p erusa lis particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness , and privileges to which every human being is entitled. 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 be removed and how the evil and its consequent es may .avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical firity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. The Author has for a series o f y ears been engaged in an extensive practice in +he treatment of these delicate complaints, which are unfortunately been too generally confided to the care of ignorant empirics, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place faith in their pretensions.

The March publication has hitherto consisted of the same sheets as in the Christmas edition ; but this year every copy of the work bas been disposed of, notwithstanding that the edition was the largest ever produced: it has therefore been necessary entirely to reprint the volume. Advantage has been taken of the sheets passing through the press to introduce emendations in all parts of the book; besides which the divisions entitled respectively "Official Directory," " Postal Direc tory," and "Parliamentary Directory," have been entirely recom piled and corrected to the time of publication. It will be observed that the following reviews do not relate to any former volume, but are those which have already appeared of the March Edition. " Another improvement has been adopted in this edition ; the Ex ternal Index has been so arranged that the commencement and conclusion of each division is clearly defined, without the unsightly netche% which," &c.—Morning Chronicle, March, 16, 1854.

We have received our despatches from India, China, and Australia, by the overland mail. The dates are : Calcutta, Feb. 19 ' Madras, Feb. 24 ; Bombay, Feb. 28 ; Shanghai, Feb. 4 ; Hong Kong, Feb. 11 ' • Sydney, Jan. 25 ; Melbourne, Jan. 30 ; Adelaide, Feb. 2. The following is from the summary of the Bombay Times of Feb. 28 : The intelligence which has come to hand from all parts of India since the date of our last summary is of no mo ment. Burinah continues to be invested with dacoits, and the district of Bassein is particularly disturbed by them. There seems no doubt that this system of dacoity, which is almost identical with guerilla warfare, has been substituted for active operations by the Court of Ava, who have been induced to adopt it at the recommenda tion of Captain (now General) D'Orgoni, the French officer who has recently been drilling the Burmese troops. We may now, however, hope that matters will speedily be settled, as the general is on his way to Paris, where his presence is demanded by the French Govern. ment, to answer certain charges preferred against him by the British minister. Prior to his departure from Ava Captain D'Orgoni was elevated to the dignity of Bogie, and made a general of the highest rank, by the monarch of the Golden Foot. The ceremony came off at the " Palace of Gold," all the nobility being present on the occasion, and his Majesty, addressing Captain D'Orgoni, most courteously told him that he had that day been called to the Royal presence, in order to be in vested with titles which had never before been conferred upon any European of any nation. A herald then read the edict, setting forth the reasons which induced his Majesty to confer such high dignity upon a French gentleman, and proclaimed him D'Orgoni Neh-Myo The-ee-zah-ah, which, translated,. into English, means ".D'Orgoni, cousin of the Emperor, a. man of handsome appearance, and an unconquerable general." Three golden vessels filled with silver were then presented to the general, and the ceremony ended. Nothing what ever has transpired relative to the assassination of Capt. Latter, nor have the proceedings of the court of inquiry, which assembled to investigate the circumstances which led to his murder, been published. The brevet for 'ser vices luring the Burmese campaign has recently been published by the Governor-General ; and we are sorry to add that it is not generally considered to be as exten sive as it ought. Among the list of those on whom honours and promotions have been conferred, it is with regret we .observe the omission of the name of Dr. Montgomerie, the superintending surgeon attached to the expedition. It would seem that the old leaven still exists which excludes medical officers of the British army and navy from those honours and distinctions which are so justly their due, and which foreign Governments so liberally bestow on their medical staff. In action, and during those dreadful outbreaks of disease, the medical men in Burmah performed their duty with that zeal and fearlessness which so often characterise their profession, and we say it advisedly that the exclusion from honours of so meritorious and distinguished an officer as Dr. Montgomerie was a slight to the entire body of medical officers. It is now many years since the Austrian Government wished to confer on Dr. Montgomerie an order for his humanity in attending the officers and crew of an Austrian vessel of war during a severe visitation of cholera in Singapore, and it is said on that occasion our Government refused to allow him to accept it. When we mention we are indebted to Dr. Montgomerie for the introduction of gutta percha, (for which he has only been rewarded with a gold medal,) we believe it will be allowed that he has done more towards the advancement of civilisation than the so called military occupation of half a dozen Pegues. In Persia, as far as is known, matters continue tranquil, but Government, for reasons best known to it self, vigilantly guards against any trustworthy informa tion being promulgated. No sooner had the Auckland arrived with despatches from the Gulf, than a report was circulated that the utmost peace and tranquillity pre vailed, and up to the departure of the last overland mail it gained credence; but on the 16th inst. the Hon. Com pany's steamer Acbar sailed for the Gulf with sealed or ders. We of course cannot undertake to say upon what special service she has proceeded, but prior to her de parture she took in all her stores and ammunition, and mounted all her heavy guns. A small detachment of European artillery also proceeded on board of her. A gentleman, writing to us from Bushire, says, everything in Persia seems tranquil outwardly, but it is rumoured that the politicals have discovered something which they tak• the most stringent means to keep secret, We can not, however, place any reliance on the report that the Acbar is likely to be actively engaged, and we incline to the belief that the force and munitions of war which she has on board are intended to fortify some place, Karrick perhaps. For had government believed her likely to be actively engaged with an enemy, she would never, or ought never to have been despatched. The Acbar is rot ten fore and aft. When taking on board her heavy re volving guns one of them went through the planks of her deck, and were it not that her coals were nearly up to her beams the piece of ordnance would havegone to thekelson and not improbably through her bottom. To send such a vessel to contend in close action with an enemy would be criminal, as had she to fire all her guns at once she would prove her own destroyer, and would literally blow herself to pieces. The misunderstanding between the English chargé d'agaires and the Persian ministers was owing to a dispute concerning the rights of a private individual who claimed our protection as a British subject. Mr. Thomson at first did not succeed, and lowered his flag in consequence ; upon which Prince Dolgorouki, thinking it too good an opportunity to let pass by, attempted to widen the breach by offering to remit a crore of tomauns frem the debt Persia owes his master, provided the Shah would immediately send a force of 30,000 men to attack Bagdad. The firmness of Mr. Thomson in the end conquered, and amicable rela tions at present exist. No accounts have reached us re lative to the treaty said to be about being entered into by Dost Mahomed, the Khan of Bokhara, and the Rus sian general at Khiva ; but it is said that the troops on our north-west frontier are to be materially increased, and that a reserve force is to be formed at Umballa. on Ferozepore. An anti -infanticide meeting, supplementary to the recent meeting at Umritsur, has been held at Meehan. The natives, we are happy to add, readily agreed to enter into arrangements similar to those agreed to at Umritsur. Other meetings, for a like purpose, are to be held at different cities, and we trust ere long we shall have the pleasing task to record the crime of infan ticide in the Punjaub among the things that were. We regret to state that in Lucknow matters have undergone no improvement. A correspondent writing to the Eng/islvetan, under date the Bth instant, says, under the Government of the present r u l er , W a jid. Ally Shah, whose apathy is ruinous to himself, the office of treasurer is almost a sinecure. The financial affairs of the ruling King and his country have been plunged into such hopeless embarassment that scarcely any amount of economy will ever redeem them. From Futtyghur we learn with sorrow the death at that station, on the 7th inst., of Colonel Mountain, C. 8., Adjutant- General of her Majesty's forces in the East Indies. His death was caused by typhus fever, and he is lamented by all who knew him. The post vacant by his demise has been conferred upon Colonel Lugard, pending the orders of the Horse Guards. His Honour the Lieu tenant Governor of the North-west Provinces opens in person the Ganges Canal early i n Ap r il nex t, and all person s connected with that wo r k h ave been directed to repair to Roorkee to witness the ceremony. The North- Western Bank of India has declared a dividend for the last half-year at the rate of 6 per cent, per annum. From Madras we learn that vacancies in the direction of the bank have been filled up. A change of system seems to be necessary in the management of its affairs, as by the Gazette it appears that the establishment has in its vau lts nearly 40 lakhs of rupees lying idle. This accu mulation has not arisen from want of a field for the em ployment of the m one y , but is owing to defects which the directors.are expected to remedy. A skirmish had taken place in the Nizam s country on the 29th ultimo, between a squadron of the 4th Niza,m's Cavalry, com manded by Lieutenant Fraser, and a b o dy o f A ra bs, 18 of whom have been made prisoners , as well as a similar n umber of Boodum Khan's horsemen. Brigadier Colin Mackenzie has taken nearly 5,000 prison ers , A ra b s , Re hillas, and Decka nnie ! . Intelligence from Calcutta an nounces the official reinstatement of Col. Outram to the residency of Baroda. The gallant col one l i s now on hi s way to the scene of his former and future labours. He will pass through Bombay en rout, and be has alr ea dy de clined an invitation to a publicdinner which the inhabi tants of the presidency invited him to accept. The ship Margaret Skelly was totally destroyed by fire on the 3d i ns tant at Calcutta, and there is too much reason to fear she has been burned by her Lascar crew. After burn ing to the water's edge, the wreck sank. The Margaret Skelly had on board a general cargo for the St ra i ts, con sisting of opium, rice, gunny-bags, &c., of which very little has been saved. On the same day the b r i g S usan s t ru ck on the oyster rock while in stays. Immediately her sternpost came out, and the raudder beca me un shipped, and she sank, just giving time for all hands to save themselves and allow two horses to swim ashore. The captain's wife was picked up by a ship and landed at Akyab. The ship was loaded with a most valuable cargo, and there was a large amount of sp ec i e on b oar d . The Governor-General is at Calcutta. Hi s E xce ll ency the Commander-in -Chief is on his annual tour of inspec tion, and left Futtyghur, en route to Bareilly on the 10th instant. A long correspondence has taken place between the Council of Education at Calcutta and the Bengal Government, from which we gather that the council proposed to establish a new college in Berham poor, at a cost of 40,000 rs. per annum. The scheme was transmitted to the Governor-General, who at once sanctioned the establishment of the college on the same basis as that of Kishnaghur, and authorised 20,000 rs. per annum from the education funds to be appropriated to its support. The Council of Education also brought to the notice of Government the difficulty of procuring persons in India competent to hold professorships of literature, and the Bengal Government have solicited the Governor General to obtain the Court's sanction to com petent persons being sent out from England. The Court will of course accede. Mr. 11. Riddell has been appointed Director General of Post-offices in India. Of local matters we have not much to chronicle. The Hon. Mr. Blanc has resigned the service and proceeds to Eng land this tiny. His Place in council will be filled by Mr. J. G. Lumsden: The ship Fortesque, which recently -left• this port with passengers and cargo for Australia, sprang a leak and was obliged to put in in distress to Colombo where the emigrants have been landed. His Excellency Lord Frederick Fitzclarence has administered a reprimand to Major John Jacob, C. 8., of the Scinde Irregular Horse, on account of his "Remarks on the Native Troops of the Indian Army," which was published by us. The following is the reproof :--" The attention of the Com mander-in-Chief having been drawn to a paper headed Remarks on the Native Troops of the Indian Army,' under the signature of John Jacob,' which appeared in the Bombay Tenses newspaper of the 30th ultimo and the Ist instant, and contains observations and statements of a most objectionable nature, relative to the organisation, discipline, and order of the native army, his excellency feels himself called upon to express his marked disap probation of the way in which Major Jacob has chosen to make his opinion known to the public. All officers have a perfect right to form opinions en the organisation and order of the army they may have the honour to serve in ; but they are not to publish their opinions in their official capacity. Major Jacob had full permission to make any suggestions he might have conceived would have been for the benefit of the army to the Commander in -Chief, and indeed he was called upon to do so by the General Order No. 1, dated Ist June last. He had no right, therefore, to reflect upon and censure nearly every rule, regulation, and order framed by his superiors for the administration of justice and discipline, and for the well-being of the Bombay army—conduct, to say the least of it, most unmilitary, and tending to sow discon tekt in the native ranks, and thereby greatly wound the discipline of the native corps. Grieved as his excellency is to have been obliged to make the foregoing remarks, his lordship is still more so in having to censure Major Jacob for pointedly using the words the refuse,' as appli cable to the regimental officers, an expression as unfound ed in justice as it is insultina ,' o_that most excellent hard. :. "working portion of the army ai of offi cers full of zeal and assiduity, and whose thoughts and wishes are to do their duty. To these soldier-like sen timents and feelings of the officers doing duty with their corps the Commander-in-Chief can sully testify. His lordship had the honour to make the personal ac quaintance of a large proportion of them within the last year, and a more gentlemanlike, zealous, hard-working set of officers does not exist. The Commander-in-Chief deeply laments being forced to observe that the conduct now so strongly condemned emanated from ono who has received (most justly) honours from his Sovereign, and the approbation of the government he has the honour and good fortune to serve." The launch of a new steamer, called the Mountstuart Elphinstone, took place on the 15th inst. She has been built for the proprietor by the master builder of the Peninsular and Oriental Company, and it is a fact which speaks significantly of the estimation in which the memory of Mountstuart El phinstone is held, that we have received letters from different natives begging of us not to neglect noticing the launch in our overland summary, "in order that," as one states, " our former governor may know that natives of this country do not forget him, although more than a score of years have passed since he left our shores." The steamer is intended for the coast trade, and belongs to our 'respected fellow-citizen, Mr. Cowasjee Jehangheer. Lord Elphinstone is in Bombay, and his excellency the Commander-in-Chief at Poona, where he recently proceeded to inspect the 3d European Light Infantry, which has just been formed. We have no particular change to notice in the state either of the general or money market. (1 7 ):0711 the Overland Bombay Telegraph Feb. 28.). During the past fortnight there has been very little news of any general interest to our home readers to com municate through the columns of our overland summary in fact we scarcely ever remember such a total dearth of intelligence as the Indian papers have exhibited since the mail of the 14th February left these shores. People in this country are now much more interested in what is going on in the Black Sea or in Persia than in Burmah, or in the countries beyond the Bolan and Kyber Passes. It is to be presumed that the latest in telligence received from the Persian Gulf by the Bombay Government is not of a warlike nature, for her Majesty's 86th (Royal County Down) Regiment (which has been kept halted at the Falkland Bunder near Panwell, for upwards of six weeks en route to Kurrachee, pending the receipt of news respecting the intention of the Shah of Persia), did on Sunday night, at a late hour, receive instructions to embark forthwith in the Honourable Company's steam-frigate Ajdaha, for Kurrachee—its des tination in the due course of annual reliefs. The A jdaha, with her Majesty's 86th on board, will proceed to her destination either to-morrow evening or Thursday morn ing. We have not yet heard whether the regiments (the 3d and 27th Native Infantry) which were detained at Poona pending the receipt of news from the Gulf, have yet been ordered to march to their respective stations, but we presume that if not already, they will very soon receive the route to move.

Very little sugar has been shipped to Great Bri tain. Raw silk has not found many shippers, and just lately silk piece goods appear to be less actively sought after. For England a large business is doing in saltpetre, at steady prices. Rice does not seem to be in such active request as it was a month back; at any rate the shipments to Europe of late are moderate. Both shellac and lac dye are in moderate demand, but the market, they say, is very ill supplied. Hides are in good request, but supplies are inadequate, so that exports are not large so far this momth. Oil-seeds of all kinds are in active inquiry. Castor oil and cutch are both in fair demand. Jute goes forward pro,`;ty freely to all parts. Nothing doing in raw cotton. Rum has been shipped to England and Australia.

The Shanghai steamer left town yesterday morning with a full cargo, and the Pekin is to follow in a few (lays. Our Import Market has been fair, as may be judged of by the reported list of transactions. Staple goods have sold freely at about previous rates ; and Glasgow and other light fabrics have been moved off with some spirit to a con siderable extent. Imports in January were to a fair ex tent. The mule twist market has been very quiet. Prices are nominally as before, and holders not inclined to relax in firmness. A parcel of high counts, 100 s to 300 s. sold at 7 annas per morah. Turkey red yarn of German dye has sold freely. Only one small parcel of orange is reported sold ; and nothing appears to have been done in green. There is no change in the metal market. Imports and sales are alike on the most moderate scale. Prices of iron and copper are both likely to keep high. Nothing fresh to report regarding the money market, which continues remarkably easy.

CHINA. The following is from the North China Herald, dated Shanghai, Feb. 4 :—lt had become highly necessary, ir. consequence of the notification recently issued by the United States consul, that steps . should be speedily taken f or t h e secur ity o f equal rights and privileges accruing to British subjects in regard to the payment ,of duties to the Imperial Government of China. Her Britannic Majesty's consul no doubt was anxious to do s o , b ut very consistent l y, we think, awaited a reply to the communication made to the home Govern ment by his Excellency the Superintendent of Trade on the subject in question. The last mail has very oppor tunely brought a reply to Sir George Bonham. Our issue of to-day contains a letter from her Britannic Majesty's Consul Alcock, to those merchants who had been in correspondence with his excellency about the duty question, tog e th er with an " extract from a dis patch of her Britannic Majesty's principal SecrOary of State for Foreign approving of the course Affai rs , ' adopted by Sir George B on h am in the present difficult crisis of foreign trade i n Chi na. The letter her Majesty's consul has, since receiving the dispatch, addressed to the ex-Taoutae, is calculated to bring matters to a point. Circumstanced as foreign merchants are in this port between two fires, and much puzzled how to shape their course within a strict neutra lity so as, at the same time, they do not neglect neces sary measures for self-defence----it is obvious to common sense that, either merchants of all nations should be called on to pay duties, or the duty question must be put in abeyance until the Imperial Government is a ga i n enabled to re-establish matters on such a footing as to entitle it to levy customs. This is only agreeable to Article VIII. of the British and Chinese Supplementary Treaty, as well as Article 11. of the American and Chinese Treaty, as brought forward by the United States American vice consul in his notification to Ame rican merchants of the 20th ultimo, and published in our last issue. It will be a difficult matter for his Excellency Woo keen-chang to ans wer the requisitions now placed before him so as reasonably to satisfy the British authorities that merchants of all nations are placed on a basis of equality in regard to the payment of the Imperial cus toms. The United States commissioner has already de cided the question, we conaider, by ordering the above stated notification to be issued to American merchants, and he is justified in the course he has pursued by the negligence of the Chinese authorities in regard to the Austrian barque Robert being allowed to enter, load, .and depart, without claiming any payment of customs fi-dim her, in October last, It may be said, indeed, that sm.+ an incident would be a hard case against the Impe rial Government. Nevertheless, it is just what has led to the small end of the wedge being inserted between the ack.nowledgment of and refusal of liability on the part of all foreigners to pay customs to the present Government, whos.9 authorities have, in the instance referred to, exhi bited. either gross negligence or an utter inability to exert proper influence at the port to secure the Imperial re venue. Since our last issue for the mail of the 27th, which we despa,i`ched on the 20th, per Lady Mary Wood, no intelligence: has reached us of any advance of the in surgents' army towards Pekin. The batch of Gazettes received since then up to Dec. 22, still speak of the insurgents boing at Tuh-lew, where probably they con sider it most prudent to pass the winter, either awaiting reinforcements,. or not particularly relishing the severity of a northern winter. The opening of spring will be the time to test the ►bravery and resources of the contending parties ; and although we should have considered it pre ferable for the prestige of their arms that they had pressed onward without delay to Pekin, it seems Chinese. tacticians think differently, and we must, therefore, await the more active resumption of hostilities before we are enabled fully to judge of the probable success of the insurgent, patriot, or popular cause against the pre sent Government, Shanghai remains still in the hands of the rebels, and the Imperialists' only chance of success seems in being to starve them out, Various opinions are held on this head. At present they seem to have ample supplies within the city. During the week an ineffectual attempt to negotiate with the rebels in Shanghai on the part of the French is reported to have been made. The rebel chief Lew is firm in his resolve to maintain his ground. It is sup posed that reinforcements have been sent for to Canton in order to strengthen the present chief in his command. The greatest danger seems at present to be likely to arise from a division of parties within the city, rather than from anything the Imperialists can effect by force, bribery, or treachery. PEKIN GAZETTES.-Our contribution of the present week is one of a former batch, detailing Ke-shen's re port of skirmishes near Yang-chow and Kwa-chow, on the 4th and sth December last, wherein the Imperialists claim to have killed above 3,000 men and to have de stroyed upwards of 20 junks of the insurgents. It will be remembered that a few days after the said skirmishes are said to have taken place, the Cassini discerned a large reinforcement proceeding up the Grand Canal in the direction of Kwa-chow and Yang-chow. This would in all probability have turned the tide in favour of the insurgents. Shing-paou also states that on the 27th of November, above 80 of the Imperialists were drowned by venturing too far on some ice near Tuh-lew ; they were chiefly Tartar troops. He reports several advan tages gained over the rebels near Tub-law, on the 12th of December, in conjunction with Tuh-hung-a and Tung keen ; he also claims to have routed the rebels and to have destroyed 1,000 men. For the veracity of such statements it is only neces sary to refer to the reports sent up to Pekin of the do ings about Shanghai, in order to form a proper estimate of the above so-called victories of the Imperialists over the insurgents.
