THE INSU.R.RECTIOI. IN aIdINA. The following official statein :nt as to the reli gious tenets of the Chinese insurgents, and trans lated by Mr. W. H. Med.hurst, hai been forwarded to us for publication : " On the morning of the 25th of December, 1853, being the day of worship,* the Northern Prince, accompanied by the Marquis Ting-theen, the Minister of State, and other officers, came to the palace of the Eastern Prince, to pay their compliments and to deliberate on the affairs of Government. When the deliberations were completed, the Northern Prince, with all the officers, knelt down and exclaimed, ` May your highness the Easte rn Prince enjoy felicity and repose !' The Eastern Prince then com manded the Northern Prince to return to his palace, and all the officers to repair to their official residences, after which the Eastern Prince retired to hie inner palace. In a short time the Heavenly Father came down into the world, and summoned± Yang-shway-keaou, Hoo-kan keaou, Tan-wan-mei, and Sang-wan-mei, saying, Do all you young women come forward. and listen to the com mands of me, the Heavenly Father.' Yang-shway-keaou, together with the female chamberlains, then apprcachod into the presence of the Heavenly Father, and, kneeling down, inquired, saying, Since the Heavenly Father has taken the trouble to come down into the w orld, we young women have all come forward rever entl y to listen to the Heavenly Father's sacre,l commands, and to solicit his instructions.' The Heavenly Father then mani fested considerable displeasure, and for some time wou ld ~e not speak. The female officers implored, saying. Th moving of our Heavenly Father to take the trouble to come down into our world is to be ascribed to the faults of his sons and daughters, whose transgressions are multi plied. We, therefore, earnestly beseech our Heavenly Father's forgiveness, and intreat the removal of his dis pray again, with all imaginable earnestness.' The Heavenly Father then said, pleasure, for which we pray , and Since you little ones are sen sible of your faults, do you immediately call your Northern Prince to come hither and listen to my commands. The female chamberlains then replied, We will obey the Heavenly Father's sacred com mands.' The female chamberlains then hastened out of the door of the sacred' palace, and sounded the drum an nouncing the descent of the Heavenly Father, and inform ing the male chamberlains that the Northern Prince had been summoned into his presence. The male chamberlains, ' in obedience to the orders given, went immediately to the Northern Prince to make this announcement. The Nor thern Prince then came to the Eastern Palace to listen to the sacred commands of the Heavenly Father, who had come down into the world. The Heavenly Father also commanded the female Minister of State, Yang-shway keaou, and Hoo-kan- me i, saying, Before the arrival 'of your Northern P r i nce I command yon to take my sacred will, and announce it to your Eastern Prince, command ing him to go to Court, and inform your Lord, the Celes tial King, that my appearance is on account of the im petuous disposition of your Lord, the Celestial Sing. Since he is of the same nature with myself, he ought to be as forbearing as myself. In ruling over the empire mild ness is essential in everything. For instance, the female officers in the Celestial Court, assisting to manage the affairs of State, are very frequently unacquainted with matters of high import, and are, therefore, apt to do things out of due order ; these must be kindly instructed, with a liberality vast as the ocean, in order that their minds may attentively accord with the regulations of Government, and thus attend properly to their manage ment. If they are treated with too much severity their minds will get into confuston, anp they will not know what to do in order to carry out the Imperial commands. Their minds being unsettled, their frames will be agi tated ; and when one thing goes wrong, everything will fall into confusion. So that it is much better quietly to tell them what to do until they are versed in it, and they will then attend to it spontaneously. To instance also your young master,:t: although his nature is originally good, yet he must be occasionally instructed, and then he will not abandon the good dictates of his nature—which are• always at hand—and fall into evil habits and practices which are foreign to his views and feelings. At present you must take advantage of his original goodness of nat ire, and, as you have opportunity, instruct him, that he may get accustomed to what is correct, and become an example to all the empire, that all the nations of the world may take pattern by him. When you see that his sayings and doings are in accordance with Celestial emotions, then you may allow him to say and do as he pleases ' • but, when you see that they are not in accordance with Heavenly emo tions, you must control him, and not let him do just what •he likes? The female officers replied, We unworthy females will endeavour to comply with the sacred com mands of our Celestial Papa. The Heavenly Father again said, ' Yang-chang-mei and Shih-ting-lan§ have been for some time in the Celestial Court, at tending to' the affairs of State ; moreover, these young women, are relatives of two of the Princes, and must, therefore, have their sympathies in unison with those of the Royal family. With respect to the elder and younger Choo-kew-mei, they have also at tained some degree of merit, and must be allowed to rest themselves and cease from labour. Whether, therefore, they remain in the Celestial Court (of Thae-ping-wang), or whether they• come over to the palace of the Eastern Prince, let them enjoy the ease and tranquillity becoming Royal personages. It is also announced to be the Divine will that, if they are summoned into the Celestial Court, they will necessarily be daily near the Royal person (of Thae-ping-wang), and, as Ministers waiting upon the So vereign, they will have certain duties to perform which calinot.be avoided ; but, as they are not to attend to public business, it is much better that they remain in the palace of the Eastern Prince to enjoy themselves, which will be in all respects more convenient. With respect to the business of the Celestial Court, there are matters of State which any one may attend to. Let some other persons, there fore, be deputed to attend to these.' The female officers replied, 'We are much obliged for the trouble taken by the Heavenly Fathe r t o come d own i n t o th e wor ld to in struct us ; and, unworthy as we are, we will endeavour to comply with these injunctions, while we make known the sacred will of the Heavenly Father to the Eastern Prince. The Heavenly Father again said, Yon comply with my injunctions, and all will be right. I shall now return to Heaven.' After the Heavenly Father had gone back to Heaven, the Northern Prince, accompanied by•the Marquis Ting-theea and others, arrived at the outer gate of the Eastern Palace, and, not knowing that the Heavenly Father had returned to Heaven, they fed forward all the officers to kneel down and pray, saying, We, your no worthy children, have frequently offended, so as to occa sion Our. Heavenly Father to trouble himself, for which we earnestly beg our Heavenly Father's forgiveaess, and that he would graciously condescend to instruct us his un worthy children.' Having finished the prayer, they con tinued kneeling on the ground, and commanded the male chamberlain to beat the drum and cause the female cham berlains to announce their arrival. The female chamber lains, hearing the sound of the drum, came out from the inner palace to the front gate to see the Northern Prince, and informed him, saying, A short time ago the Heavenly Father gave himself the trouble to come down to earth ; but he is now gone back to Heaven. We, therefore, re quest the Northern Prince and the Marquis Ting theen to rise from their knees.' The Northern Prince then rose from his knees, and said, The Heavenly Father having graciously condescended to come down into the world, we should like to know what instruc tions he has left for us.' The female chamberlains replied, The sacred will of the Heavenly Father is to 'com mand the Eastern and Northern Princes, together with the officers, Logo to Court. It is also commanded to the Eastern Prince to convey the ;sacred injunctions of the Heavenly Father to the Celestial King, ordering him to be more gentle in his disposition, and more indulgent towards others. He is also to give instructions to the heir ap parent, and graciously to excuse four women of the court from the duties to which they have now to attend. The Eastern Prince, in obedience to the requisitions, is now about to go to court.' The Northern Prince said Will you be kind enough to inform the Eastern Prince that I, the general, have come to pay my respects to him !' The female chamberlains announced this accordingly, when the Eastern Prince said, Since tho Northern Prince has come he maybe told to enter my palace.' The Northern Prince and all the officers then entered the palace, and, kneeling down, exclaimed, May the Prince enjoyextreme longevity !' They also thanked the Eastern Prince for his considerations, saying, ' We, your younger brethren, who are here to-day, are under obligations to the fourth elder brother II for the arrangements which he has made, whereby eve have attained to our present position. Now also, the Heavenly Father has manifested his great favour by coming down into our world to instruct us, for which we cherish the most un• bounded gratitude. Moreover, also the brethren and sisters throughout the world have, in a similar manner, repeatedly experienced great favours at the hands of our Heavenly Father.' The Eastern Prince said, The Heavenly Father has indeed taken a great deal of trouble on our behalf; may you, my younger brother, and all the officers be duly sen sible of the Celestial favours.' The Northern Prince and all the officers replied, "We shall endeavour to comply with your honourable commands.' The Eastern Prince again said, " The Heavenly Father has made known his sacred will, commanding us all to go to Court •, we ought, therefore, to proceed thither immediately.' Having said this, he told them to wait a little, and the Northern Prince, together with the officers, knelt down and shouted, ' May your Highness enjoy abundant longevity ! We be seech you, the Eastern Prince, tranquilly to ascend your sedan chair.' The Eastern Prince then commanded the Northern Prince and all the officers to go first to Court. The Northern Prince was about to proceed thither accord when he suddenly addressed the Chamberlain of the Northern Palace, saying, 'Do you quickly go to the sedan of the Eastern Prince, and request the favour of his instruc t tions, as to whether we are first to go to the Hall of Audi ence,a or t o en t er stra i ght into the door of tile palace.' The naberlain, receiving this charge, went immediately t o the sedan of the East ern Prince, and requested one of the servants of the Eastern Palace to obtain and communicate to hire the w • Eastern Princ e is of his master. The servant said, The not dare to disturb him; repose in the sedan, and Ido that '2 The Chamberlain of the Northern Palace, heari ng the Eastern Prince was enjoying re bpse, did not presume _to repeat the inquiey, but hastned k to inform the Northern Prince. The Northern from Easterniis prince, hearine that the Prince was enjoying re pose, hastily descended sedan proceeded on foot to the middle of the road, whero_hea n k d nelt down and e voeri rather troubled him inquired saying, ' Has the self to come down into thi s the Heavenly Father replied ih the ' s. a sain a r. i g To which !lan of Northern Prince to convey th e „ dal = ,t,av s e, telling the wh'ereu will obey the dience. The Northern Prince repli e d Po to n he hastily inform the Au injunctions of the Heavenly Father, commanded the female officers of the Court * This is kept on Saturday b y an err or in the culations of the insurgents. I. These are all female names, and appear to be family con nections of the Eastern Prince, afterwards tanned f emale Ministers of State. The heir apparent, the son of Hun-seu-tseuen. § These, also, are female names of persons who had been previously occupied in the palace of Than-ping-wang. The fourth elder brother refers to Yang-sew-tsing, the Eastern Prince. Jesus is the first elder brother ; Hung-sew tseuen, the second ; the heir apparent, the third ; and Yang sew-tsing, the fourth. There is here some need of explanation, in order to assist the general reader to understand the subject. The Eastern Prince, it appears, had seated himself in his sedan, and was about to proceed to the Court of Thae- p ing-wang, when it was said, all of a sudden, th a t h e was enjoying repose; which means that he had fallen into.a. trance. While in that state it is pretended that the Heavenly Father had taken possession of his body, and, without the individual affected being conscious of the fact, he says and does things which are supposed to be the sayings and doings of the Heavenly Father. The Northern Prince seems to have been aware of the supposed possession as soon aspic; heard !of the repose ofAblTEastern Prince, and therefore alighted from his chair, knelt down in the middle of the road, and asked if the Heavenly Father had come down. The colloquy that ensued Was between the Eastern Prince (personating the Heavenly Father) ancl4e Northern Prince. The t rance over, exhaus tiOn succeed and the Eastern Prince was informed of what had haOpened of which he himself pretended to be uncon- OCiOlfu, itch pretended possessions aro common in China. .....~ tt' ~ •~ . Celestial King of t; , ) circumstance, which done, he, to gether with the Mi , stare of State and the other officers, conveyed the 5r.,,..., of the Eastern Prince within the gates of the Pale e The Celestial King, Thae-ping-wang, having heard t - message which the female officers brought from the 'Northern Prince, intimating that the Heavenly Fath . had taken the trouble to come down into the wort-i. tastily went on foot to the second gate of the palace, - receive the Heavenly Father. The last was an gry with the Celestial King, named, on h. s arrival, saying, ' Sees - te - euen ! Yon are very much in fault ; are you aware of it ?' The Celestial King, kneeling down with the Northern Prince and all the officers, replied, saying, ' Your unworthy son knows that he is in fault, and begs the Heavenly Father graciously to forgive him.' The Heavenly Father then said, with a loud voice, ' Since you acknowledged your fault you must be beaten with 40 blows.' At that time the Northern King and all the officers pros trated themselves on the ground, and, weeping, implored the Heavenly Father to manifest his favour, and remi t the punishment which their master had deserved, offering to receive the blows themselves in the stead of the Celestial King. The Celestial King said, 'Do not, m y younger brethren, rebel against the will of our Heavenly Father; since our Heavenly Father has of his goodness con ' descended to instruct us, I, your elder brother, can do no less than receive the correction.' The Heavenly Father would not listen to the request of the officer s, but still insisted on the blows being given to the Celestial King ; whereupon the Celestial King replied, 'Your unworthy son will comply with your requisitions ; and, so saying, he prostrated himself to receive the blows. The Heavenly Father then said, ' since you have obeyed the requisition, I shall not inflict the blows ; but these women, Shih-ting lan and Yang-chang-mei, must both be sent to the palace of the Eastern Prince, and stay along with the Imperial rela tives, to enjoy Royal ease and tranquillity. There is no necessity for their aiding in the business of the State. The elder and younger Chow-kew-choo, having formerly at tained to a degree of merit, may also enjoy ease and tran quillity. With regard to other matters, you can wait till your brother Yang-sew-tsing sends up his report.' Having said this, the Heavenly Father returned to heaven. " The Northern Prince, with the rest of the officers then escorted the Celestial King back to the palace, when the Celestial King said, ' The Heavenly Father having taken the trouble to come down to the world to communi cate instruction, let us all, unworthy as we are, acknow ledge the Celestial favour.' All the officers then knelt down, and thrice exclaimed, ' May the King live for ever ! we shall comply with your injunctions. " The Northern Prince then announced to the Eastern Prince, saying, gMy fourth elder brother, the Heavenly Father, has again troubled himself to come down into the world.' The Eastern Prince delightedly said, 4 Has he, indeed, taken the trouble to come down again ? Truly, he gives himself a great deal of trouble on our account.' The Eastern Prince then addressed the Celestial King, saying, ' Not long ago the Heavenly Father came down into the world, at my palace, commanding me, your younger bro ther, and certain others, to come to ourt and report to your Majesty, our second elder brother.' The Celestial King inquired, saying, ' Brother Tsing, what were the commands delivered by our Heavenly Father ?' The Eastern Prince replied, saying, ' The sacred will of our Heavenly Father was to command you, our second elder brother, to instruct our young master more assiduously and properly, in order that every word and action, motion and rest, may be in accordance with the rules; you are not to allow him to do as he pleases. For instance, when our Heavenly Father sends down rain, and our young master wants to go out for a walk, were you to allow him to do as he pleases he would get wet; therefore, in this respect, he must be restrained ;but when the weather is fine he may go out for a walk. He also said, ' The female officers at Court engaged in managing affairs frequently come short of their duty.' The - Heavenly Father further told me, ' your younger brother, to inform you, my second elder brother, that if the female officers commit any trifling fault, you should be indulgent towards them, and instruct them; you are also to be genie towards them, lest they should get frightened. For instance, when a ditch or canal has to be dug, you must not make people work as if they were building a city or a camp, and if the weather should be unfavourable with rain or snow falling P • they should be allowed to rest for a while, and not made to dig during the continuance of frost and snow.* If you comfort them in this way they will be contented and happy, and, feeling grateful for your kindness, they will exert themselves in serving you, so that you will get all your worlecompleted. During the month of August of the present year the Hea venly Father descended into the world, to alter his former regulations. The old saying has it, the Prince should em ploy his subjects according to propriety, and then subjects will serve their Prince according to fidelity. You, my second elder brother, have ascended up to the high hea vens, and, therefore, you ought certainly to be acquainted with all matters of a celestial nature. But these female officers are originally women with a very circumscribed amount of information ; how should they be perfectly familiar with celestial principles? On common occa sions, when they see you, my second elder brother, in front of the palace, the female officers, getting a glance of your Royal visage, can hardly avoid making mistakes in what they do, so as to excite your dis pleasure; on which accoun t they are always in a state of alarm. Even male officers, when they come to do anything in front of the hall, are by no means at their ease. To instance our younger brother, Wei-thing, when he was once in front of your palace, managing some affair, he felt a certain degree of alarm, and did not dare to speak too much. How much more, then, female officers when they come into your presence?' " The Eastern Prince also addressed the sovereign, say ing, ' When the officers, whether male or female, commit any crime that is worthy of death, it rests with you, my second elder brother, in obedience to the celestial law, to put them to death, in order to sustain the majesty of the Divine law, add to deter future offenders. But, in my humble opinion, supposing the offenders to have committed something worthy of death, there may be still some cir cumstances in the case not very clear ; and if you hastily put them to death you may sometimes do wrong. Let me presume, therefore, to offer a suggestion which is, that whenever, among the officers, male or female, any persons commit a capital crime, I should earnestly entreat you, my second elder brother, of your superabundant favour, to hand over the case to me, .your unworthy younger brother, for careful examination as to the circum stances which led to the commission of the crime, and, if I meet with any extenuating considerations, I will supplicate you in your gracious compassion to pass iover the offence. Bet if it should appear that the parties have really committed a grievous offence that cannot be forgiven, I will report to you, my second elder brother, that you may determine the case. In this way there will, Iprobably be no cases of undressed grievances, and the jus tice and benevolence of you, my second elder brother, will be equally displayed, while both rewards and punishments will be properly administered. I do not know whether this suggestion will meet your views, but I beseech you of your clemency to inform me.' " The Celestial King then said, ' That which you, my younger brother, have said is very right, and is truly in accordance with the benevolent feeling displayed by our Heavenly Father, who loves what is good, and hates what is evil, while he carefully discriminates between the one and the other. The disposition displayed by me, your elder brother, is impetuous, and if you, my younger brother, had not made this suggestion, it is to be feared that I should have wrongfully put some persons to death. Now, in con sequence of your advice, not only shall I be prevented from wrongfully inflicting condign punishment, but future generations, observing this our example, will not dare to do anything rash. From henceforth, therefore, I, your elder brother, will in every case consult with you, my younger brother, before I proceed to act. It will have the effect also of inducing future Princes to imitate their pre decessors, and consult with virtuous Ministers before they decide on action, by which means they may possibly pre- 1 vent mistakes. " The Eastern Prince also said,--` This suggestion is not what I, your younger brother, could have thought of spontaneously ; it is solely in consequence of the regene- ration of mind conferred by our Heavenly Father and celestial elder brother; it is also to be ascribed to the kind consideration displayed by you, my second elder brother.' "The Celestial King further said,—' What you have now suggested is very right ; let it be recorded, therefore, for the instruction of future ages, t hat throughout all gene rations sovereigns and subjects may act according to this plan, and thus, perhaps, the intention of our Heavenly Father in fostering human life will be perpetually dis played, and the spirit of gentleness and tranquillity be handed down, world without end.' " The Eastern Prince said—'ln this way, also, the intelli gent virtue of you, my second elder brother, will be ever lastingly established, and your example will be truly lovely and worthy of imitation.' " The Eastern Prince further said—' All you who are officers, when you meet with inferior officers coming to report some case to you in a respectful manner, no matter whether he be in the right or not, you should wait until ho has reported it clearly; you must not, on any account, while he is in the middle of his report, on finding some impropriety in his expressions, bawl out and rail at him until ho lose •his presence of mind, for when people get alarmed they are likely to commit more errors. But you must wait until lie has done speaking, and then quietly tell him what is right. If you do not, it is to be feared that when ho has anything to say which is right and proper he will not dare to make it known.' " The Heavenly King then gave orders to all the officers, saying, `All you offiorrs must mind what the Eastern Prince says, which is all one as if it were addressed to you by the Heavenly Father ; you must all reverently obey.' To which all the officers replied, 'We will comply with your commands.' " The Eastern Prince then addressed the Celestial King, saying, The adage says, a Prince should employ his sub jects with respect, and then the subjects will serve their Prince with fidelity ; all the subjects of this realm, de pending for their subsistence on the bounties of the State, are in duty bound to servo their Prince with fidelity ; when subjects also distinguish themselves in a meritorious manner, the Prince should bestow upon all proper considera tion and reward ; he should kindly sympathise with his in feriors, and bestow favours upon them in order to encourage them in good conduct. Now, among the female officers of the Celestial Court,.and in the palace of me your younger brother, those who attend to the business of the State are very much harassed. Some o f th ese are the wives, and others the mothers of meritorious and faithful officers ; some have young children to attend to, and others old re lations to look afte r . S ome o f th em a l so h a ve meritorious husbands, who have given up their households oat of re gard to their country. Now, when women have surren dered their domestic ties with a view to the service of the State and abandoned their private interests in order to promote the public weal, the Prince ought to take into consideration their faithful devotion, and allow them every six weeks to go and look after their relatives, or every mouth or six weeks to go and inspect their households, o 5 it may be, every t ea k or f or t n i g ht t o t a k e i n t urn t o visit their domestic hearth, whether to fondle over their chil dren, or to manifest respect to their aged relatives, or to serve their husbands. In this way they will be enabled to carry out the duty of, first, regarding the interests of their country, and, after that, attending to the welfare of their family. N ow, th°aßrithraebfleernaanl also, there are many ladies; whose rank is cal whoseofficers placedes a r u e nde importantunder these ; w would e d p o u r n p o o t sseal say neglect th eir d ut i es, but it may be that some of them have- displeased th e i r m i stresses who may have scolded them a little too sev ere l y. Now, if you do not allow these female officers to state their grievances they will never get re dress; the women employed, therefore, should be per mitted to complain when you, our second elder brother, would be able to make up your mind and d ec id e b e t ween the right and the wrong. This is one in which Princes may employ their subjects, according to propriety. More over, in the Royal there are the various operations of erec ting palaces, digging moats, throwing up banks, and sweeping the Imperial gardens, which must all be attended to by these female officers ; but you should issue your orders how thc‘.ie things aro to be done. It is not at all necessary that you should personally inspect these opera tions, for the &ffolestial Majesty extends to every spot, and ' s It would ap,oear as if the women were engaged in this laborious wort, iather heavy, we should eay, for Court ladics to perform. _.....,`..~.. J. _..`1.. v~.~.. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, EVENING, SEPTEMBER 21, 1854. wherever the Imperial cavalcade comes people are filled with dread and alarm. It is better, then, to allow these officials to work on without interruption, in which case they will be able to complete their undertaking. But if you go personally to inspect what they are about they will not be able to bring anything to perfection. This is ano ther way in which Princes may employ their subjects ac cording to propriety. When a Prince thus manifests a degree of gracious consideration in his conduct towards his subjects, then his subjects will be more especially affected with gratitude in order faithfully to serve their Princes. If you carry out this method of treatment, from the female officers to the male persons employed, then those who are engaged in any military expedition will expose themselves to distresses abroad, such as sleeping on their arms and fightingamid frost and snow. When the Prince thus cherishes a kind consideration for his subjects, his subjects will exert themselves to serve him faithfully in order to repay the benevolence of the Prince. This shows how, when the Prince employs his subjects according to propriety, sub jects will serve their Prince with fidelity. With respect to the female apartments, Royal reformation must begin there. The Palace is a fountain from which all govern ment springs ; hence, he who wishes to illustrate intelli gent virtue throughout the empire will first regulate his country, and he who wishes to have his country well regu lated will first put his family in order. At present, through the favour of our Heavenly Father, the number of ladies at Court is very great, the daughters of the Prince are also very numerous ; it will not, therefore, be right to lis ten only to the statements of the elder ladies, and not give heed to the complaints of the younger ones ; still less would it be right to mind the prattle of the younger branches of the Royal family, to the exclusion of the remonstrances of the elder ones. In every case you should allow both parties to make their state ments clearly, and thus you may decide between them as to which party is in the right and which in the wrong, without showing any partiality to either. When the la dies wait upon you, my elder brother, it is of course their duty, but sometimes they may be apt to excite your righteous displeasure, in which case you must treat them gently, and not kick them with your boot on, for if you kick them with your boot on, it may be that some of the ladies are in such a state as to call for the congratulations of their friends, and thus you interfere with the kind in tentions of our Heavenly Father, who loves to foster hu man life. Further, when any of the ladies are in the state above alluded to, it would be as well to manifest a little gracious consideration, and allow them to rest from their labours, while you select some separate establishment for their residence and repose. You may still require them naorning and evening to pay their respects. Such a method of treatment would be proper and, if still any of the ladies should commit any trifling fault so as to give offence to my Lord, it would be as well to excuse them from be ing beaten with the bamboo. You may, however, scold them severely, and tell them not to offend any more. Should any of them commit any grievous crime, you should wait till after their confinement, when you can inflict punishment. " The Celestial King then praised his adviser, saying , Your observations, brother Tsing, are all important, and may be considered the specifics for managing families, go verning countries, and ruling the whole empire.' "Th Eastern Prince replied, That which I have just observed is what Princes would not of themselves think of; hence the necessity of a faithful minister to report"' The preceding is a translation of part of a pam phlet just received from Nankin. The whole is too full of repetitious to admit of being fully de tailed. One sentence, however, must be given as showing the amount f error to which they have reached, in consequence, perhaps, of not having having had some one to guide them : " The Celestial King said, That which you, my brother Tsing, have reported may be considered an important spe cific and a precious remedy, every word of which is con sistent with the highest reason, and fit to be preserved as a rule for succeeding generations. When our Celestial elder brother Jesus, in obedience to the commands of our Heavenly Father, came down into the world, in the country of Judea, he addressed his disciples, saying—' At some future day the Comforter will come in to: the world.' Now I, your second older brother, considering what you, brother Tsing, have reported to me, must conclude that the Comforter, even the Holy Ghost, spoken of by our Celestial elder brother, is none other than yourself." Accordingly, Yang-Sew-Thing has since assumed the title of the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, which he appends to his name in all his proclamations. He also requires his name to be included in the doxology which is addressed to the Heavenly Father, and chaunted every morning and evening. CRIMINAL COURT.--,dept. 20. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Erie and Mr. Justice Crowder.) Wm. Howe, Was. Thompson, and Gaya» Rickards, three respectable-looking men, the former of whom has for some time practised as a solicitor at the different police courts, surrendered to take their trial for misde meanour, for having unlawfully conspired together to defraud the ends of justice, by means of perjury and false representations. Mr. Bodkin, Mr. Ballantine, and Mr. Sleigh were counsel for the prosecution. dr. Parry, Mr. Metcalfe, and Mr. Horne appeared for the defendants. Evidence was given that the persons who offered themselves as bail for the prisoner Blatchford gave false addresses, and were not to be found when inquiries were made respecting them. This (with the evidence given in yesterday's paper) closed the case for the prosecution. Mr. Parry then addressed the jury on behalf of the defendant Howe, and he contended that he had merely acted upon the instructions he had received in the mat ter ; and he said that if the jury should be of opinion that he had been deceived himself, they ought not to convict him upon the present charge. He urged that so far as he was personally concerned he did not appear to have done any more than any other attorney or attor ney's clerk would have done, and there was no evidence to show any connection between him and Thompson or Rickard:, except what might naturally be supposed to exist between persons in their position of life. He also called the attention of the jury to the fact that Mr. Simpson, the employer of the defendant, was proved to have been in attendance, and yet he had not been called as a witness for the prosecution ; and he said it appeared to him from this that it was clear he would have proved that the defendant had merely acted under his authority and according to the instructions he had received, and that if there was anything wrong in the transaction he had no cognisance of it. _ _ _ Mr. Miicalfe and Mr. Horne also addressed the jury for their respective clients, the former learned gentle man urging that there was not sufficiently positive proof that Thompson did not in reality serve the notice at the place mentioned in his affidavit ; and the latter con tending, on behalf of his client, that he had been made a dupe by some other parties, and that he had inao cently signed the paper that was the principal point of evidence against him without any idea that he was com mitting a criminal act, or assisting to carry out any cri minal object. Mr. Justice Erle having summed np, the jury im mediately returned a verdict of guilty against all the defendants. His Lordship, in passing sentence, said that the prisoners had been convicted of a crime of ♦ery great magnitude, in preventing the course of justice and pro curing the discharge of a person who was charged with a considerable crime by means of perjury and fraud. They appeared to have acted in the matter solely for the purpose of obtaining profit to themselves, and persons who thus acted must be taught by a severe punishment that those who attempted to interfere with the adminis tration of justice, with such an object, must look forward to the most miserable consequences to themselves. It was an aggravation of their offence, as it appeared to him, that they were all connected with the administra tion of the law, and must be perfectly well aware of the serious nature of the act they were committing, and, under all the circumstances, he felt it his duty to order them to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for 18 calendar months. NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) George Pawson, 31, labourer, was indicted for a street robbery, with violence, committed upon the person of Thomas Taylor. It appeared that upon the 30th of August, at about nine in the evening, the prosecutor, who was tipsy, was passing along Fenchurch-street, when the prisoner, who is a very powerfully-built, ugly-looking ruffian, came up, and putting his face close to the prosecutor, said, " Do you know me ?" and Lefore the prosecutor had time to make any reply prisoner seized him by the leg, and throwing him violently upon the ground, fell upon him, and, beating him about the body, thrust his hand into the prosecutor's pockets and began rifling them. Some persons who were passing interfered and succeeded in rescuing the prosecutor from further violence. Prisoner then ran away, having first torn away the prosecutor's waistcoat-pocket, which, however, only contained one penny. The prisoner was then pursued and taken into custody, and a penny piece was found in his hand. The jury found him guilty. An officer from the Mansion-house said the prisoner had been for the last four years an incorrigible thief, and during that time continually in and out of prison. The Recorder sentenced the prisoner to four years' penal servitude. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. WORSHIP-STREET. —Mary lifWay, a well-dressed middle-aged woman, was placed at the bar before Mr. D'Eyncourt, charged with having assaulted and wounded her husband, a tarpaulin manufacturer, in Osborne street, Whitechapel. The complainant, who exhibited excessive debility, and appeared with his head enveloped in hospital band ages, stated that on the previous night he was about to retire to bed, after an unsuccessful search for his wife, who had left home during his absence, when she sud denly burst into the room, brandishing a heavy earthen jug, with which she instantly struck him a terrible blow with all her force on the forehead. The blow was dealt with such violence that the jug was shattered to pieces, and he fell back in a senseless state with the blood streaming down his face, but he managed soon after wards to make his way to the house of a surgeon in the neighbourhood, under whose direction he was conveyed in a cab to the London Hospital. Police-constable Nicholas, Ii 36, stated that at the time in question he was called into the shop of a surgeon in Whitechapel, where he found the complainant, who wag bleeding profusely from a dreadful wound iu front of the head, which he informed him had been inflicted by his wife, but he positively refused to charge her with the assault, or to take any proceedings against her. The complainant was immediately removed to the hos pital, from which he returned home after his wound bad been'dressed, and witness proceeded to the house that morning to ascertain his condition, but while they were conversing together the prisoner hastily entered in a state of intoxication, and after assailing her husband with the grossest epithets, she caught up a large sugar basin, and other weighty articles from the breakfast table s which she flung in auccoasiou, at his head. The • complainant, however, still declined to give her into custody, and quietly endeavoured to escape from the room, but as his life was evidently in danger from her violence witness at once secured the prisoner, and con veyed her to the station-house on laic own responsibility. The prisoner, who conducted ]herself with the most intemperate violence, and reviled laer husband with the coarsest vituperation, was ordered to be remanded for a week. HAMMERSMITH.—John Dy OS, a tall, powerful looking young man, who was described as a brickmaker, living at Notting-dale, was brought before Mr. Paynter on a warrant, charged with haring committed an assault upon a married woman, named Caroline Tedder, by spitting in her face. The complainant, a very re3pectably-dressed young woman, deposed that she lived iriThomas-street, Notting dale, and on the Bth inst. the prisoner, her brother, and several other young men, were ill-treating a pony belong ing to her mother by striking it and throwing bricks at the animal, while two or three of them were riding upon its back. Witness and her mother went up to them and entreated them not to ill-treat the pony. Her mother pushed the prisoner away, and he then struck her. Witness told him not to strike her mother, and he then abused her in a most shameful manner, called her by several opprobrious epithets, and, lastly, he spat upon her face. A constable was present, and saw all that occurred ; but upon her speaking to him about it lie denied having seen the assault. The constable was in a public-house at the time, and was drinking ale with two men. She called him out to take the men into custody for illtreating the pony, but he refused to interfere. He stood by when the prisoner spat in her face, and she asked him if he did not see it, but he merely laughed and sneered at her, and said he did not. Caroline Ayling, another young woman, corroborated the testimony of the complainant, and said the constable was present when the prisoner spat at her, and must have seen all that happened. She also saw him drinking in the public-house. Joseph Massey, police-constable, No. 39 T division, was then called, and he said that about six o'clock on the Monday evening the complainant called him to take some of the young men into custody for illtreating a pony. He saw two or three riding upon it, and he cau tioned them not to illtreat the pony. While he was standing there she asked him if he heard that, and he asked her what She said the prisoner called her by a foul name, and he said he did not hear it. She then used a filthy expression, and said he was a liar. The prisoner was there, and walked away without saying a word to her in his hearing. • Mr. Paynter said he did not like that way of giving evidence. If the constable wished him to believe what he stated, he should refrain from qualifying his evidence in that manner. Inspector Leigh, in answer to a question from the beach, said it was not right for a constable to take re freshments in a public-house while on duty. Mr. Paynter said be had no doubt about the case, and fined the prisoner 505., or one month's imprison ment. He hoped the conduct of the constable would be inquired into, as he did not believe one word he had stated. The prisoner was then locked up in default. The reporter afterwards wished to look at the police sheet upon which the charge was entered, in order to obtain the names of the parties, as it is the custom to allow the representatives of the press in all the police courts the privilege of copying names from the sheets on all occasions ; but to his astonishment Inspector Leigh refused to allow him to see it, on the ground that while the inquiry into the conduct of the constable was pend ing the case should not be noticed. The reporter then appealed to Mr. Poynter, who refused to interfere in the matter, WOOLWlCH.—Jonathan Smith., cook, and John, Cockrane, Eeaanan, on board the collier brig Charity, of London, now lying in the river; in Galleons-reach, were placed at the bar before Mr. Traill, the sitting magis trate, charged with committing a most serious assault upon John M'Cormack, a poor orphan boy on board the above vessel, by striking him on the head with an iron ladle, whereby he bad been rendered almost an idiot. The unfortunate lad was in the court, and his vacant aid general demeanour fully exhibited the fearful injury which he had sustained. His emaciated, dirty, and ill-clothed condition excited much sympathy in his behalf. Alexander Bannerman, a boy on board the Charity, said that on Sunday the 20th of August, while the ship was lying at Brest, the primmer Smith sent the boy 111‘Cormack to get a leg of pork. Smith appeared a little the worse for liquor. M'Cormack not quickly re turning, Smith went after him, and met him coming up the forecastle, when he struck him with a ladle over the head. The ladle was an iron thing of a round shape at ~he bottom. The boy cried a good deal. Afterwards saw a large lump on his head, where he had been struck. Had seen the other prisot:er Cochrane kick and strike the boy on the breast. It was said he had taken some coffee belonging to him. Mr. Trailf asked the prisoners whether they wished to ask the witness any questions ? The prisoner Smith said that he merely put the ladle upon the boy's head, but not with any violence. Mr. Traill remarked that they would see whether he had. It was cleqr that the boy had gone out of his mind. Henry Farling, another boy, spoke of having seen Cochrane kick and strike M'Cormack. Captain Youens, the master of the brig, was then ex amined. He said •n hearing of the ill-usage of the boy M'Cormack, he went up on deck and inquired what Jack had been crying about, and he heard that the cook bad struck him on the head with the ladle. The boy cried and complained a great deal, and he (the Cap tain) found a lump about the size of a pullet's egg on the part of the head where he had been struck. This hap pened on Sunday, the 20th of August. On the follow. ing Sunday, while at sea, he observed symptoms of insanity about the boy, who remarked to witness, " I'll lie down and die for you," and other strange expres sions. From that time he got worse. He had attempted to destroy himself. Mr. Trail! asked upon what part of the head the lump was ? The witness said just at the top of the head. Mr. Traill said he imagined that was the part. It was the most sensitive to injury. The witness added, that when he arrived at Wales he had him examined by a medical man, who said he was sure that ale blow with the ladle had caused the boy's insanity. Since the vessel had been in the Thames he had him taken to the Dreadnought hospital ship. Tho doctor there was informed of all the circumstances, and that gentleman had not the slightest doubt as to the cause of the boy's condition. . _ _ Mr. Trail said he should not dispose of the case by imposing any fine. Active inflammation on the brain might arise, and the boy might die. He, therefore, should remand the case for a few days. The prisoners were accordingly remanded. The unfortunate lad, who was the object of much con cern, was removed to the union. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BEDFORD RACES.-WEDNESDAY.

STEEPLE-CHASE. — On Saturday morning a man called at the Cock, at Boreham, with a black pony, and offered it to the landlord for 4/. I.os. ; but his suspicions being aroused at the lowness of the price, be told him he would try it in harness a short distance ; the other party assented, and they drove to the house of the policeman stationed at Boreham, and that functionary came out in plain clothes, mounted the cart, and escorted the sus pected party to the station at Springfield. He was there searched, and asked if he knew any one in Chelmsford, when he stated that he knew the landlord of the Rising Sun ; but on being taken to and confronted with " mine host," his tale proved to be false. At the Rising Sun the party went into the bar for a short time, when the prisoner, who had been watching an opportunity, sprung from the chair in which he was sitting, and with one bound gained the passage, closing the door after him; on reaching the road he went off at frill speed, with a troop at his heels. After running aboutll.oo yards on the high road, he topped a quickset hedge into the fields, when he shortly after came to a rasper, over which he threw himself, and ran across the line near Wildford, and again into the fields, passing near Wildford Hall farm. Several others having now joined, the chase became very exciting, but the pursued gained ground, and upon his followers reaching the spot where Shaxton's formerly stood, they were completely at fault, the varmint having either taken to a well-known covert, or run to earth —at any rate he eludedlfurther pursuit, and the party returned a " blank day " being marked upon their lengthened counteaaucoo,,-4:soz 444744 181110 202110 3'. 18s 10/15s 2 5s 1961Ps 10/15s 11. 133 DALKEITH MEAL MARKET-SErr. 18.
