SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Ball, London, &c., &c. Nor AY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from Juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro duced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruittlil Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. 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 be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement 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 tree. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply rewarded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, 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. At home for consultation daily from Eleven till Two, and from Six till Eight. All letters must contain the fee of 1/., and. advice and medicines can be forwarded to any initials or address. It 13 desirable that patients wishing to consult Dr. LA'MERT should first obtain a copy of his work on SELF 'PRESERVATION. A Medical Treatise on the Philosophy of Marriage and Nervous and Generative Debility, illustrated by fifty-colocred engravings, and des cribing in del ail the various disorders resulting from se cr et habits and excesses.

The successful results of the last Half Century have proved beyond question that HOWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL possesses sin gularly nourishing powers in the growth, restoration, and improvement of the Human Hair, and when every other specific has failed. This celebrated 0;1 is now universally aemowledged to be the cheapest, and superior to ail other preparations for the Hair. It prevents it from falling off or turning grey—strengthens weak hair —produces a thick end luxuriant growth—cleanses it from Scurf and Dandriff—and makes it beautifully soft, curly, and glossy. Its operation in cases of :,aldress is peculiarly active ; and in the growth of WHISKERS, EYEBROWS, and MUSTACHIOS, it is unfailing in its stimulative operation. For Children it is especially recommended, as forming the basis of a beauti.Ul head of hair, and rendering the use _ . of the fine-c. mh unnecess.fry. In dressing the hair nothing can erirt.,l it; eff3ct, rendering the Tlair so admirably soft teat it will lie in any direction, ana imparting, a transcendant lustre.—Price 3s. 6d. and 7s. ; Family Bottles (equal to four small), 10s.

Burnett's Company, has arranged to supply the public with concen trated Chloride of Zinc in its greatest purity and at the lowest price. It is sold by all Chemists and Shipping Agents in the United King dom, in Imperial Quart Bottles at 2s. 6d. each, and in larger vessels at 6s. per Gallon.

This was an action brought by the executor of the late Mr. Constantine Carati, a Greek . merchant and broker residi ng a t Gl asg ow, who was killed by a ra i lway accident near Bolton, in March last, on the defendants ' railway, to recover damages for his family for his loss. The Attorney-General for the County Palat ine, Mr. Rill, Q.C. and M r . A s pl an d a pp e ared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Serjeant Wilkins, Mr. Tomlinson, and Mr. Marshall for the defendants.

Some of the sleepers were longitudinal, and the bolts fastening the chairs of the rails were some of them loose and raised tom inch-- some so loose that they could be pulled out by the fingers. Many of the sleepers of the permanent way were decayed. The chairs were spiked down on the sleepers, and this mode of fastening had in some cases split the sleepers, and the motion of the trains had loosened the spikes. In other cases the rotting of the sleepers had left the spikes loose. These spikes were driven every three or four feet, and were not an efficient fastening. From these causes the permanent way was unsafe and the gauge not maintained. The engine used was a four wheeled engine, and one of the axles was broken. Six wheeled engines were safer, as if one axle were broken the engine could still go on. In the opinion of Mr. Nasmyth 40 miles an hour was not a safe speed with the . line in this state, and four-wheeled engines were parti cularly unsafe when a line was in this condition. In his opinion, • • the train had run off the line from the gauge not being maintained, and the wheels of the engine run ningaxle. The fracture at the axle had been vary gradnalr, Instead of being right across, a piece had . evidently hel between the rails, and not from the breaking of the on to the very last, and there was a burnished appearanc on the face of the adjoining parts of the fracture, as i they had been in attrition against each other. . Many o the rails were loose. Four-wheeled engines were bette where there were many curves on a line. . There were many severe curves on this line.

There were five other actions against the same com pany, arising out of the same accident, which were also arranged. In " Tritton v. The Company," a verdict was taken for 2,0001. damages; in "Pugh v. The Same," for 1,000/. ; in "Sofiano et ux. v. The Same," for 150/. ; in "Sofiano v. The Same," for 100/. ; and in "Kay v. The Same," for 1 ,050/.—being a total of 7,3001. damages. Another ease, of " Ford v. the Midland Railway Company," was also settled by the plaintiff's counsel agreeing to accept 5001. for injuries suffered in a colli sion. The plaintiff has died during the assizes. Mr. Serjeant Wilkins wished, on behalf of the Lan cashire and Yorkshire Railway Company, to state that the directors greatly deplored and commiserated the sufferings to which the several plaintiffs had been sub jected in consequence of the accident. They had pur chased the line six years ago, and found that it had been made under the first contract in an inefficient manner. The traffic upon the line was immense, and it was im possible to close it altogether ; but from that time to the present the directors had kept relaying the perma nent way and improving it. The directors had behaved with great liberality, and he hoped they would stand well with the public. Fewer accidents had occurred on their line than on any other, and from the damages they had had to pay for this accident, it would be seen that self-interest alone would induce them to keep their per manent way well. Mr. Justice Erie said, he thought the damages now paid would be a matter to quiet the public mind 'with respect to proper care being taken to avoid railway accidents. A great desire had been manifested to make railway directors felons, by prosecuting them for man slaughter in cases of death from railway accidents. It had, however, always been his opinion, that civil actions and the costs imposed consequently would secure proper care.

The Barracouta, 6, paddle-sloop, Commander George Parker, was ordered to Cowes to-day to attend on the Court in the absence of her Majesty's yachts Victoria and Albert and Fairy, which leave, we believe, to-night for Holyhead to await the Queen's arrival. The Black Eagle, Admiralty steam-yacht, Master- Commander Petley, the Encounter, 14, Captain O'Cal laghan, the Barracouta, 6, Commander Parker, and the Banshee, 2, Lieutenant Hosken, all went down to Os borne yesterday morning. The Encounter saluted the Royal Standard at Osborne. They are ordered to form part of the Royal squadron at Holyhead. Her Majesty having been graciously pleased to pro mote Captain Henry Byam Martin, C. 8., of the Duke of Wellington, 131, to the rank of Commodore of the second-class, the Commodore hoisted his blue pendant at the main of the Duke on Saturday morning, and ex changed the customary salute with the Commander-in- Chief. A new drill battery for instruction in ship-gunnery has been built in the barrack ground of the head-quar ters of the Royal Marine Artillery Corps for the better convenience of the men under tuition in gunnery. This battery represents a ship's Aide, and mounts five long 32:pounders ; but a ship from the ordinary might have been brought alongside the wharf of the barracks, and have done far better for the purpose. The Odin has been ordered to Lisbon, and will go as soon as the intermediate shaft (which has been for some time preparing for her) has been put on board, for which purpose she will come into harbour to-morrow. His Royal Highness the Prince of Prussia visited the Royal Clarence victualling establishment yesterday (Sa turday), and was conducted over that naval storehouse by Captain-Superintendent Courtney and staff ; after which his Highness and Commodore Schroeder, of the Prussian frigate Gefion, visited the dockyard, accompa nied by Rear-Admiral Fanshawe, Superintendent of the yard, and Captain Shepherd, of the Victory. The Tribune, 30, went out of harbour yesterday to Spithead, and after taking in powder, &c., joined the Royal squadron in Osborne Bay. The Rhadamanthus steam-transport sailed yesterday for Woolwich. '. 1..... `t PLYMOUTH, AUG. 20. Her Majesty's steam guard-ship Ajax, Capt. Michael Quin, which arrived from Spithead on Thursday, was inspected by Port Admiral Sir John Ommanney in the Sound yesterday. This morning, at six o'clock, she steamed into Hamoaze. Her sails are unbent, and top. gallant and royal yards sent down. The Lords of the Admiralty have granted a day's holiday to those riggers and seamen riggers who ex erted themselves in getting off the Caasar at Pembroke. Yesterday at 4 a.m. a frigate with the white ensign at her peak, under all royals, topsails, and topgallant sails (wind south-west), tacked off the Bolt, going down Channel. At 3 p.m. a brig-rigged paddlewheel steamer, under steam only, passed inside the Eddystone, bound west. At 5 p.m. a bark-rigged paddle-wheel steamer, under steam and canvass (wind south-east), passed down Channel, inside the Eddystone. It is stated that the commanders of two of the largest of the screw steam-ships, forming a portion of the fleet at Spithead, will either retire from active service or ex change into ships of less magnitude. SHEERNESS, AUG. 21. The Myrtle steam-tender to Waterloo, 120 guns, flag ship, Wm. S. Bourchier, master (additional), got up steam yesterday, and proceeded to Chatham, with a ship wright named Win. Bevan, who unfortunately fell from the orlop deck of the Crersy, 80 guns, screw steam-ship fitting in the basin for commission here,) by which he re ceived a fracture of the thigh bone, close to the socket joint. On the accident occurring, the unfortunate man was immediately conveyed to the yard surgery, where he was promptly attended to by the surgeon of the yard, and the assistant-surgeon also. After every medical precaution had been taken to prepare him for being con veyed to Melville Hospital, Chatham, he was carried in a cradle bed on board the Myrtle, and Mr. John Jeff cott, assistant-surgeon of the yard, proceeded in charge of the poor fellow for Melville Hospital. From the se rious nature of his injuries, he is at present in a very precarious state. The Netherland ship Jan Hendrik, H. de Jong, com mander, now in No. 3 Dock, has been temporarily re paired by an Admiralty order, to enable her to proceed from this port to another port for permanent repairs, the Admiralty having refused the application of Captain H. de Jong to permanently repair the ship here. She has been for some time past pnder an arrest issued from the High Court of Admiralty, at the suit of William Axon, of the lugger Stornaway, and J. Speers, of the lugger England's Glory, for the sum of 1,600/. Bail bond has been put in ; the supersede= arrived here yesterday, and the ship is released. She will be put out of dry dock on Monday or Tuesday next, and remain in the fitting basin until the tides are available for opening the caisson. During the time this ship has been in dock discharging cargo—coffee, sugar, &c., a large portion of which is considerably damaged, all the coffee and sugar being more or less so. She has been undergoing part perma nent and part temporary repairs. The captain-superin tendent, Charles Hope, R.N. ; the master-attendant, Mr. Jonathan Aylen ; the master-shipwright, Mr. Samuel Read ; and the storekeeper, Mr. Robert Laws, have rendered most efficient services cheerfully, which has tended to effect a considerable saving to all parties con cerned ; and it is most seriously to be regretted that Vice-Admiral C. B. Hyde Parker should have deter mined, under all circumstances, to set his veto against the ship being permanently repaired here. This will, it is most certain, have due weight on the Netherlands Government, much to the inconvenience and expense of the British merchant, shipowner, and underwriters, should opportunity offer. The surveying officers, Captain-Superintendent Chas. Hope ; Mr. Jonathan Aylen, master-attendant ; Mr. Samuel Read, master-shipwright, with their assistants in attendance, have completed the survey of all the ships in ordinary and commission at this port. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice Wightman.) Patrick Livingstone, an Irishman, was indicted for having, on the 9th of August, feloniously stabbed Den nis Carrot in the fitce, with intent to maim and disable him, to do him some grievous bodily harm, and to pre vent his lawful apprehension. Mr. Rushton prosecuted, and Mr. T. Atkinson de fended the prisoner. The prosecutor, a policeman, accompanied by anot h er constable, went to app re h en d thel prisoner on the night of the 9th March last, on a charge of stabbing a man named Michael M`Loughlin, in an Irish row. The pri soner was in a house with two other men and 15 or 16 women. On telling the prisoner the charge against him, and that he had come to arrest him , the prisoner pulled a clasp knife out of his pocket and threatened to drive it through the prosecutor if he came near him. Not being able to get near the prisoner, the policeman left the house, but returned again in a short time. The prosecutor and two other policemen then knocked at the cellar-door outside, and threatened to break it open if not admitted. A woman opened it, and they entered. The prisoner did not appear to be there, but the prose cutor said, he must search a closet before which a table was placed. On stooping to look into the closet the prosecutor received a stab in the cheek from the pri soner, who cried out, "I am here ; I may as well be hung for you now as at any other time." The prosecutor was carried out wounded, and the prisoner threatened to kill any one who came in to take him. The other policeman then entered the cellar again, and found the prisoner gone back to the closet. They told him to come out and throw up his knife like a man, and pro mised not to hurt him, and he then came out and shut up his knife, which was wet with blood, and gave it up, saying, " It's all right, I've had my will of Carrol." The learned counsel for the defence having addressed the jury, His lordship summed up ; and The jury found the prisoner guilty of wounding, with intent to do grievous bodily harm. He was sentenced to be transported for seven years. William Royle, Thomas Coyle, and William, Bill, were indicted for cutting and wounding James Cromp ton with intent to do some grievous bodily harm, at Pendelton, on the 2d inst. Mr. J. Cross and A. Cross prosecuted ; Mr. Bliss, Q.C., and Mr. Fry defended Royle and Hill, and Mr. Wheeler defended Coyle. The prosecutor, it appeared, is a dyer, carrying on his business at Ford-lane, Pendleton, and the prisoners are all dyers. A strike having arisen among the dyers, who turned out, they attempted to force out the men em ployed by the prosecutor, numbering about 150, who, being satisfied with their wages, did not join the turn out. About half-past 5 o'clock on the 2d inst. about 80 or 100 " turn-outs," armed with sticks, went to the prosecutor's works, and four or five advanced to the prosecutor, crying out, "Here the devil is," and began to beat him violently over the head and shoulders with their sticks, striking him down and crying out, "B— him, kill him." The prosecutor got away on some policemen coming up, and concealed himself. Coyle, who was on the roof of a building with a half brick in his hand, directed the crowd to where the prosecutor had I gone, and the door was broken open, and he was dragged ou t an d again struck a severe blow' on the fore head. The police, headed by Sir Elkanah Armitage, then came up and rescued him. The prisoners Royle and Hill were identified as two of the men who had attacked him. The prosecutor was found to have re ceived very severe injuries on the head, a dangerous scalp wound, and various other contusions. On the part of the prisoners an alibi was set up, that, though in the neighbourhood, they were not present at the riot. WOOLWICH, AUG. 20. APPOINTMENTS. Commander Henry S.

The Cyclops steam-frigate, in charge of Mr. Charles Pope, assistant master-attendant at Sheerness, arrived at Woolwich at 2 o'clock p.m. to-day, to take on board the remaining portion of the machinery of the Cressy, 80, at Sheerness. A very interesting and important series of experiments have just been concluded in the chain-testing department at Woolwich Dockyard on deck nails and bolts, &c., made of iron, and coated and tipped with copper by Messrs. Watt and Burgess's patent process. The object of the patent is to render iron deck nails, bolts, and other articles, available for use in shipbuilding where copper deck nails, bolts, &c., are at present applied, by coating the iron with copper and brass, and the applica tion of the invention to sheet iron and tubes preserves these articles from corrosion. The first set of experi ments were made with a view of' ascertaining if they re ceived any injury by the process. The coated iron placed in the powerful hydraulic proving machine, was and stood the full strain of ordinary iron of the dimen sions, and in some instances it showed that.saaraneincreas of strength had been obtained by its sustaining a greater strain than the ordinary iron. also bent double by cold hammering, but it did not was also be injuri ously affected. The next series of experiments were the made with reference to the possibility copper from the iron. On the boltsti D ppe s d ep w a lt a h in c g opper being placed in the hydraulic proving machine it was impossible by any strain to separate the copper from the iron, the copper in every instance breaking in the solid. Deck nails and bolts, tipped at one and also at both ends, were then driven into African oak, the bolts being clenched in the usual way, and no separation or tearing off the copper occurred. Two blocks of African oak were then fastened together by bolts tipped at both ends, and then clenched. The logs were subsequently sepa rated by driving wedges between them, which had the effect of drawing the clenches through the rings, while the adhesion of the iron and copper remained perfect. The last experiment was again repeated, with the excep tion that one of the bolts used was all copper. On driving the wedges the compound, or iron coated with copper bolt, held fast, but the copper one drew through the rings. A box, containing specimens of the results of the experiments, was forwarded to-day to Captain Sir Baldwin Walker, Surveyor of the Navy, for the purpose of having the specimens submitted at the F Admiralty. His Lordship having summed up, The jury found Royle and Hill guilty of wounding, with intent to do grievous bodily harm, and acquitted Coyle. The sentence was deferred. This case concluded the criminal business of the assizes, and his Lordship proceeded to try common jury cases.

The following testimonial is another proof of the great efli. cacy of this medicine:— "157, New Bond-street, London, October 12, 1850. " acquainting yon with the great benefit which I have ex perirenced by taking BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, I reel that I am but performing a duty to that portion of the public who may be similarly affected. "About twenty years since I was first attacked by rheumatic gout in my hands and feet. I had previously been subjected to every va riety of climate, having served in Canada in the 19th Dragoons, and in Spain, under Sir John Moore, in the 18th Hussars. I always pro. cured the best medical aid, without obtaining any essential relief, and my sufferings can be appreciated only by those who know some thing of this disease. " It was during one of those paroxysms, between twelve and thir teen years ago, that I was recommended to try BLAIR'S PILLS. I lost no time in procuring a box, and before I had taken that quantity the pain had entirely ceased, and in a few days I was in perfect health. "From that moment, whenever I feel any symptoms of the dis ease approaching, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to ate is so valuable, that were it not that the days of magic have ceased, I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause. Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree suf fered. but on the contrary I believe the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS !s towards its improvement. " I have recommended the Pills to many friends, and the result has always been of the most gratifying character. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, " GARRET FOSTER GILL. "To Mr. Front, 229, Strand."

CLOSING of ONE SESSION and CONTINU vv ANCE of ANOTHER.—The Parliamentary Session being now closed, bills, orders, motions, divisions, and discussions will be sus pended. There is no suspension of the business session at E. MOSES and son's. Bills fur elegant and fashionable ATTIRE are reduced to the satisfaction of countless numbers of Patrons. Orders are dispatched with the greatest correctness and economy. Motions for improvements in SPORTING DRESS and every other kind of seasonable attire have been triumphantly carried, and Divisions or work amongst the most celebrated artists and workmen in the world has settled all points in discussion respecting who are the Tailors, Hatters, Boot and Shoe Makers, Hosiers, and Outfitters for all classes in every city and province of the universe ? These are well known to be E. Mosas and Son's. Such are some of the facts respecting the business session at E. Mosas and Sons. Shippers, Merchants, Captains, and Emigrants may procure the most advantageous freights at the WHOLESALE DEPARTMENT of E. Moses and RON'S gigantic Establishment. The Goods are no speculation, for they are readily bought up in Australia and every other colony, and afford the most ample profit on every transaction, being considerably cheaper than at any other wholesale establishment. E. MOSES and Son OUTFIT all classes of Emigrants, in the most complete and suitable manner. All articles are charged wholesale prices. Ship sailing information, and full lists of Outfits for Ladies and Gentlemen may be had on application, or post free, to any part of the kingdom. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like Isisehood 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 OCT OF LONDON, THE WAR IN CHINA. A collection of papers relative to the civil war in China has been presented to the House of Com mons by command of her Majesty, in pursuance of their address of the sth inst. It comprises the cor respondence between Sir George Bonham and the Foreign-office. Th e c hi e f points of the intelligence conveyed in these dispatches has already appeared in our columns. Under date of Shanghai, March 28, Sir George Bonham writes : "The worst feature connected with the advance of the insurgents to Nanking has been a kind of panic a mon g st the Chinese merchants and traders at Shanghai, which has reacted in an injurious manner upon our trade. There is at present little or no business carried on, and money is very scarce. The arrival of two additional ves sels of war has, to a certain extent, restored confidence, but it is impossible to expect commerce to flourish when the country so close to Shanghai is in its present disturbed condition, a state of thi ngs which it is imposs ibl e t o cope with, and the final result of which it is exceedingly difficult to foresee. I repeat, that for m art, I have accordingly to proce e d t o at present n o apprehension for Shanghai, and I propose Ningpo to-morrow, in her Majesty's st eam - s l oop H ermes, where for many reasons, I think it advi sa bl e a s hi p of war should appear ; the British comm un ity a t Ni ngpo having applied for the visit of a vessel o f war i n the present disturbed state of the country, and th e p rox i m i ty of the army of the insur gents. My absence from Shan g h a i w ill no t e xceed a week, and on my return to this port I hope to find mat ters will have assumed a more tangible and decided shape ; in the meanwhile I have been anxious not to lose the opportunity offered by the bi-monthly mail, of plac ing her Majesty's Government in possession of the real facts of the case, as far as, up to the present moment, they can be ascertained, more especially as the local press in this country may exaggerate matters and cause unnecessary alarm and apprehension." On the 31st of May, 1853, Lord Clarendon sent the following dispatch to Sir G. Bonham " Foreign-office ' May 31, 1853. " Sir—l have received and laid before the Queen your dispatch of the 28th of March, reporting such intelli gence as you could obtain respecting the progress of the insurrection in China, and stating that you had deter mined, pending instructions from home, not to interfere in any shape in favour of the Chinese Government. "Her Majesty's Goverment approve your determina tion in that respect, which is in entire conformity with their wishes and intentions.—l am, &c., (Signed) " CLARENDON." Meantime various meetings had been held at Shanghai, by British merchants and residents, to concert means for the protection of thei r p roperty and common interests. Full detailsdetails 4 of the expedition of her Majesty's steam-sloop Hermes to Nanking, with Sir G. Bon ham on board, have already been published. Among the documents addressed to Sir G. Bon ham the following have a peculiar interest : " THE INSURGENT CHIEFS TO SIR GEORGE BONHAM. ("Translation of the,lYellow Silk Document.) "We, Prince of the East, Yang, the Honae teacher, and the master who rescues from calamity (an ecclesias tical title), principal minister of state, and generalissimo ; and Prince of the West, Seasu, assistant minister of state, and also generalissimo, both subjects of the Celestial dynasty, now under the sway of Taeping, truly commis sioned by heaven to rule, hereby issue a decree to the distant English, who have long recognised the duty of worshipping heaven (God), and who have recently come into the views of our royal master, especially enjoining upon them to set their minds at rest and harbour no unworthy suspicions. "The Heavenly Father, the Supreme Lord, the Great God, in the beginning created heaven and earth, land and sea, men and things, in six days ; from that time to this the whole world has been one family, and all within the four seas brethren ; how can there exist, then, any difference between man and man ; or how any distinction between principal and secondary birth ? But from the time that the human race has been in: fluenced by the demoniacal agency which has entered into the heart of man, they have ceased to acknowledge the great benevolence of God the Heavenly Father in giving and sustaining life, ceased to appreciate the in finite merit of the expiatory sacrifice made by Jesus, our Celestial Elder Brother, and have, with lumps of clay, wood, and stone, practised perversity in the world. Hence it is that the Tartar hordes and elfin Huns so fraudulently robbed us of our celestial territory (China.) But, happily, our Heavenly Father and Celestial Elder Brother have from an early date displayed their miracu lous power amongst you English, and you have long acknowled the duty of worshipping God the Heavenly Father and Jesus our Celestial Brother, so that the truth has been preserved entire, and the gospel main tained. Happily, too, the Celestial Father, the Supreme Lord and Great God, has now of His infinite mercy sent a heavenly messenger to convey our Royal master, the Heavenly King, up into heaven, and has personally en dowed him with power to sweep away from the thirty three heavens demoniacal influences of every kind, and expel them thence into this lower world. And, beyond all, happy is it that the Heavenly Father and great God displayed his infinite mercy and compassion in coming down into this our world in the third month of the year Mowshin (1848), and that Jesus, our Celestial Elder Brother, the Saviour of th e world, likewise manifested equal favour and grace in descending to earth during the ninth month of the same year ; where, for these six years past, they have m arve ll ous l y guided the affairs of men, mightily exhibited their wondrous powe r, and put forth innumerable mirac u l ous proofs, e xterminating a vast number of imps and demons, and aiding our Celes tial Sovereign in assuming the control of the whole empire. _ "But now that you distant English have not deemed myriads of miles too far to come' and acknowledge our sovereignty; not only are the soldiers and officers of our Celestial dynasty delighted and gratified thereby, but even in high heaven itself our Celestial Father and Elder Brother will also admire this manifestation of your fidelity and truth. We, therefore, i ssue thi s s pecial de cree, permitting you, the English Chief, to lead your brethren out in, backwards or forwards, in full accord ance with your own will or wish, whether to aid us in exterminating our impish foes, or to carry on your com mercial operations as usual ; and it is our earnest hope that you will, with us, earn the merit of diligently serv ing our Royal master, and, with us, recompense the goodness of the Father of Spirits. " Wherefore we promulgate this new decree of (our Sovereign) Taeping for the information of you Eng lish, so that all the human race may learn to worship our Heavenly Father and Celestial Elder Brother, and that all may know that, wherever our royal master is, there men unite in congratulating him on having obtained the decree to rule. " A special decree, for th e i n f ormat i on o f a ll men, given (under our seals) this 26th day of the 3d month of the year Kweihaou (Ist May, 1853), under the reign of the Celestial dynasty of Taeping, " Note.—The authority from which this document emanates has established a new calendar, making the year to consist of 366 days, divided into twelve months of 30 to 31 days. Their present year commenced on the 4th February, 1853, their second month on the 7th March, and their third month on the 6th April." To this Sir G. Bonham replied : " I have received your communication, part of which I am unable to understand, and especially that portion which implies that the English are subordinate to your Sovereign. Owing to its contents, lam now compelled to remind you that my nation, by treaty entered into with the Chinese Government, has obtained the right of ' trading at the five ports of Canton, Foochow, Amoy, Ningpo, and Shanghai ; and that if you or any other people presume to injure, in any manner, the persons or property of British subjects, immediate steps will be taken to resent the injury in the same manner as similar injuries were resented ten years ago, resulting in the capture of Chinkiaug, Nanking, and the neighbouring cities, and in the treaty of peace, the conditions of which you will have learnt from the copy sent to you the day before yesterday. (Signed) "S. G. BONHAM." Inclosure No. 10 contains the general views of the Chinese Insurgents. It is as follows : " The Book of Religious Precepts' is decidedly the best production issued by the insurgents. The reasoning is correct, the prayers are goad, the ceremonies enjoined (with the exception of the offerings) are unobjectionable ; the Ten Commandments agree in spirit with those de livered by Moses, and the hymns are passable. The statements of the doctrines of human depravity, redemp tion by the blood of Jesus, and renewal of the heart by the influence of the Holy Spirit, are sufficient to direct any honest inquirer in the way to heaven. If this were the only pamphlet issued by the insurgents, or if they were all like this, we should sincerely rejoice in the movement, and wish it success. " The Ode for Youth' gives some admirable lessons regarding the honour due to God, who is the creator and ' father of all. It sets forth, in very clear terms, the coming of Jesus into the world for the salvation of men by the shedding of his blood on the cross, and then goes on to detail the duties that are required of us as arents and children, brothers and sisters, husbands and wives, relatives and friends ; concluding with instruc tions as to the management of the heart and external senses. Altogether it is an excellent book, and there is not a word in it which a Christian missionary might not adopt and circulate as a tract for the benefit of the Chi nese. . _ " The Trimetrical Classic' begins well. It d e t a il s the creation of the world and the history of the Israel ites, their deliverance from Egypt, the passage of the Red Sea, and the giving of the law on Mount Sinai. It then speaks of the mission of God's Son, Jesus, into the world, his suffering, death, resurrection, and ascension, with his command to preach the gospel in all the world, through believing which men may go to heaven. The writer then says, that the Chinese, in early ages, worshipped one God, but were deluded after wards by superstition, on which account God is said to have sent down the present leader of the insurrection (who is called his son) into the world to study the Chinese classics • after which he t oo k hi m I up to heaven, and gave hinz instruction on celestial ' matters ; he also gave him a seal and a sword, with a commission to destroy his enemies. After having slain many he was again taken up to heaven, where he says that he saw the mother and wife of Jesus, whom he calls his elder brother. Having received new instruc tions and encouragements, he came down the third time to consolidate his government. "All these assumptions of journeys to heaven and heavenly interference bring the pretender into discredit, and lead to the suspicion that the chief of the insurrec tion has arrogated to himself a direct connection with the Deity in order to overawe his followers, and make them subservient to his will. " ' The Book of Celestial Decrees' purports to be a col lection of communications from God, our heavenly father, and Jesus, our elder brother, who, it is said, have several times since the year, 1848, come down into the world to declare the divine will to man. In 1848 our Heavenly Father is said to have told the multitude that ho had appointed the chief of the insurrection to he their celes tial king, commanding them to be obedient to his com mands, and aid him in attaining the empire. The same year Jesus is said to have told them to fight in order to subdue the country, when they would all attain to high offices ; but to have declared that if they disobeyed the commands of their superiors, or retreated in battle, he would put them to death. He is also said to have for bidding their secreting any of the booty, and to have ordered them to give up everything to the general trea sury. On a subsequent occasion the Father is said to have reproved them for disobedience to orders, and for want of courage, telling them to consider whose rice they were eating, and in whose work they were engaged, as an inducement to them to go forth to battle and kill their enemies ; adding that, if a man wishes to become a hero, he must not live at his ease, for the more men en dure the greater will be their honour • and much more to the same effect, all ver y unlike What might be ex pected to come from our Heavenly Father, and very dif ferent from anything ever uttered by Jesus. " The pamphlet closes with a number of proclamations from the chief himself, urging the people to obey Hea ven's commands, to keep the males and females at a proper distance, not to encroach on other's rights, to maintain harmony, to display courage, and when engag ing in battle never to retreat. He then gives various details respecting the marshalling of the forces, urging the people to fight valorously, and promising rewards according to their merit, including the highest dignities in the present world, and glory in the next. The chief appends a summary of doctrine, in which he details the divine attributes, and disclaims for himself, or others, those titles which he thinks are due to God alone. He particularly insists on obedience to the Seventh Com mandment, all offences against which are to be visited by death, without mercy. The last proclamation regards , his harem, and forbids any one to mention the names or • ranks of any of its inmates, or even to look at them. Whoever dares to disobey shall be beheaded ; and who- - ever reports anything that is said outside into the harem, both the carrier and the person who said it are I to be beheaded. "This latter document indicates that the chief is bent on attaining empire, and while claiming every in dulgence for himself, is resolved to punish severely all those who interfere with his pleasures. " The Revelations of the Heavenly Father during his descent on earth' details the examination and detection of a traitor, on whom they were about to confer an ap pointment, when the Father is said to have come down from heaven in person, on purpose to arraign and cross question the delinquent, and having brought his treason to light, to have returned to heaven. Considering this a mighty display of the Father's power, the leader called upon his foll owers to k neel down with him and acknow ledge the celestial favour ; after which he directed his ministers to record the declared will of God, on the oc casion of His descent upon earth. The result is the pam phlet before us. There is no word of their having seen any form ; but the idea of the Father's presence seems to have been impressed upon the minds of the bystand ers ; when the Father is said to have addressed the leader of the insurrection, saying, ' I am going t o t a k e thi s matter in hand to-day ; any other person would find it a hard task.' He is then said to have commanded the traitor to be brought, and to have interrogated him in a variety of ways, in consequence of which the man con fessed his guilt and was put to death. In the course of the examination the traitor is asked if he knew who was addressing him, to which he replied, The great God, the heavenly.' Also, if ho knew who was the sun, to which he answered, The sun is my sovereign, the ce lestial ruler, the true lord of all the nations of the earth.' Over what breadth,' it was then asked, does this sun shine ?' to which the answer was given, illumines the entire world.' These words must be understood, however, with some limitations, as the Chinese are in the habit of considering the territory subject to their own emperor as the whole world. " After the examination was concluded, and the Father had returned to heaven, the whole army rejoiced toge ther at the goodness of God, and proceeded to kill pigs and oxen, and offer them up in thanksgiving to the Fa ther of all for His power and mercy in confounding the fiendish schemes of their enemies, and for His gracious care of His own children. It is evident from this that the insurgents are neither Jews nor Mohammedans, or they would not offer unclean animals to God. ‘‘ The anthropomorphism displayed in the above pain• phlet is very striking. The Deity is brought down from a state of distant superiority, and is represented as fami liar with mortals, in a degree which to us appears some what revolting. His cross-questioning the culprit, in order to find out the truth, and his scolding several of the officers for their neglect, to whom he ordered 100 blows each to be given, are rather undignified represen tations of the conduct of the Supreme, leaving the im pression on our minds, that not only is the whole scene got up for the purpose of overawing the multitude, but the individual who conceived it is himself possessed of a vulgar mind. The language in which the pamphlet is drawn up is also excessively colloquial, and in some instances provincial. " Has 'ng thus given a general view of the above five pamphlets, we leave the reader to form his own opinion. To ourselves it appears exceedingly difficult to arrive at a definite conclusion. There are some things good, very good, in the productions before us, leading us to infer that the authors were divinely taught, and to cherish the hope that not a few will, through the me dium of these truths, find the road to heaven. There are, however, some things of which we most highly disap prove ; not the least of which are the pretensions to new and immediate communications from the Deity, some of which afford representations of the Divine Being far different from what we have been accustomed to in the Christian Scriptures, and made to serve the end of per sonal aggrandizement and ambition. " The only way to account for the difference is the supposition that two minds, or different sets of men, have been at work ; the one animated by a sincere and humble desire to serve God and to seek his favour through the merits of the only Saviour, and the other desirous of imposing on the credulity of the unthinking many, with the view of elevating themselves to supreme power. Which preponderates, or which is likely ulti mately to prevail, it is impossible, without long and in timate personal intercourse with the people themselves, to say. One thing is clear, that a considerable know ledge d wise of instructors Christianity existse ifeffect m a o residence i t d h e e n oo insurgentsamong them,; a n cou the good might be fostered and the evil repressed. Should the insurrection succeed, me may at least expect a perfect toleration for Christian missionaries ' • and it is not unlikely th a t th e party, when predominant, will cherish a f avoura bl e disposition towards foreigners, as holding in gen era l th e same d octr i nes as themselves. They would doubtless admit of commercial intercourse ; but we may gather, from their books and their conduct, that opium would be strictly prohibited—not as now, in name only, but in reality. " The advantages to be anticipated from the success of the insurgents are, the opening of the country to reli gious and commercial enterprise, and the introduction of scientific improvements, which will benefit both the giver and the receiver. It would be sad to see Christian na tions engaged in putting down the movement, as the insurgents possess an energy, and a tendency to im provement and general reform (as witness their calender) which the Imperialists never have exhibited, and never can be expected to display. Questionable though it be, the form of Christianity which the insurgents profess is far better than the stupid idolatry hitherto practised by the Chinese ; and it is possible that European na tions, if engaged on the opposite side, would be going to war with some people in som respects better than them selves. Should the Imperialists unaided by foreigners prevail over the insurgents (of which there seems little probability), they will become much more exclusive and insolent than before. They will remember our neu trality, our intercourse with the insurgents and, above all, th e a pp aren t similarity between our religion and theirs, with the fact that the insurgents have derived their religion from foreigners. Chines e di p lomatists at some future day may wield these ar guments our prejudice, and their statesmen be led to interdict more strictly yhich i n than e e r v o e s r t i t o h m e t i introduction o o d f t h t e h i o r s doctrines Government so much trouble. Be this as it may, matters have pro ceeded too far already for Europeans to be able to clear themselves in the eyes of the Chinese of all connection, or at least sympathy, with the insurgents and the only p s e o l l v i c o y s f t r h o a m t a b p o n e g a r i s o at vo p v o r d e s any n o t y advisable,further n i s t t h o o k e g e u p a r r o u e r l and to avoid all Government connection with either party.
