Aqua se hahls Espanol MEDICAL ADVICE ON THE SECRET INFIRMITIEi OF YOUTH AND MATURITY. DR. SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Metric dated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Ilonorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. VI AY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregu elides and excesses, which have pro luced 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 Unhappy and UnfruitfulMarri- Debility, various torms of Insanity , 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 remove and how the evil and its con •equenc es may be avoided, and above all, that there t, 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 plaint-% and is the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical 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 rev arded 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 erppirics, 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 It, and advice and medicines can he forwarded to any initials or address. It is 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 of Marriage and Nervous and Generative Debility, illustrated by fifty-coloured engravings, and des cribing in detail the various disorders resulting fro n secret habits and eICCSSPS. The perusal of this treatise will assist in the correct description of their cases, and may be had, price 2s 6d, in English, French, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, or German, of Messrs.

The magistrates of these towns were summoned to acknow ledge the sovereignty of Tien-te, and all who refused were either cruelly mutilated or killed on the spot. Many suf fered death rather than betray their allegiance; but the inhabitants themselves, according to the principles laid down by the rebel chiefs, were uninjured both in property and person. Seu, the Viceroy of the Two Kouangs, of whose admirable prudence mention has already been made, disgusted with the successes of the rebels, once more craved leave to withdraw to Canton, and invented a lie in order to accomplish his object. But he was not allowed to budge. Other Mandarins, and among them Sai-chang ha, the Prime Minister, were degraded — some for having been suddenly taken ill upon the eve of an engagement, others for downright disobedience. The Celestial Empe ror, it should be known, seldom punishes his generals for anything but disobedience. He bids them win a battle ; they don't, and for that criminal act of non-compliance with orders they lose their buttons. The progress of the insurgent army would seem to have been marked by one invariable course of procedure. They have attacked and made themselves masters of many cities and towns, but have abandoned their possessions almost as soon as w on , no t car i ng to h o ld th em a n hour after they have levi e d a contribution sufficiently large to supply the troops with provisions and p a y. They press resolutely forward, seizi ng t o -d ay some new poin t o f a dvantage, which they w ill a b andon altogether to-morrow . Th e i r intent, unquestionably, is to fi g ht their way direct to the Imperi a l capital. In a country centralised like that of China a con queror may be owner of everything but Pekin, yet, wanting that, is absolutely master of no thing. That day that shall see the rebels triumphant at the capital will find them also rulers of the em pire. Their true policy, therefore, is to hew their way through every t own th a t opposes their advance, but to leave every conquest behind until the greatest and crown ing victory is achieved. Various methods of cutting short the civil war were tried by the Celestials, but in vain. The Emperor himself, it would appear, occupiedobie , tfttpreme intelligence in the composition of an epic poem intended to counteract the enemy's warlike proclamations. But, if we are to believe the critics, when the Imperial minstrel was singing the praises of Tartar heroes he was also pilfering by wholesale from the Homers and Ariostos of his disturbed and much distracted empire. The Mandarins helped their master's cause by circulating pamphlets full of the most monstrous perversions of fact, by applying the screw again and again to the merchant city of Canton, and by fearful executions as often as a sufficient number of prisoners could be col lected to present a memorable example and a bloody sacri fice to the Imperial vengeance. But, in spite of poems, pamphlets, and general slaughter, the rebels stood th e i r ground. Before long the wh o l e o f Kouang-Si was in their hands, with the exception of the capital city. It was after one of the latest conquests in Kouang-Si--viz., at Yung gan-Tcheou, that an important proclamation was issued by the insurgents —one, indeed, that throws more light upon the intentions of the rebel chiefs than any that preceded it. As a specimen of statecraft, also, it is unequalled by any former production put forward by the same hands : "Know, people !" said the clever manifesto, "that China belongs to the descendants of the ancient dynasty. Students, farmers, artisans, and merchants, do not be alarmed, but continue peacefully at your several callings. The fortunes of the dynasty of Han are about to flourish once more, and the foreign dynasty of the Mantchoos is on the eve of expiring. The decree is from Heaven and admits of no mistake. Division succeeds to a long union. In order that when publishing the laws all things may be safely re-established, our Sovereigns have manifested their benevolence, and, before prostrating themselves in presence of the Supreme Being, have always admi nistered to the necessities of the unfortunate. After having learnt to know God, they have striven to save the people from calamity ; they have sustained the weak, resisted the powerful, and preserved the villages from robbers and brigands. . . . . When our Princes by the grace of God entered into Yung-gan they scattered their benevolence on every side, and, regarding the people as their children, enj o in e d the army to abstain from slaughter and to take nothing without leave. They are as just and impartial as the balance; but if obedience is denied, they who disobey will be handed over to the offi cers of the army. Our Prince invite the inhabitants of every district to surrender, in order that they may merit the reward which will be accorded to their voluntary sub mission. They wait now to be rejoined by the chiefs of other provinces, in order to unite their forces for an attack upon the capital of Pekin, which being secured, the Princes will proceed to the division of the empire." Three points are worthy of note in this production. The future division of the spoil among the insurgent chiefs is announced without disguise, the ultimate intentions with respect to Pekin are clearly made known, and the Chris tian element is as plainly and unmistakably revealed. " The authors of the proclamation of Yung-gan," writes Messrs. Callery and Yvan, " speak of decrees of Heaven They have prostrated themselves before the Supreme Being after having learnt to adore God. They have striven to save the people from the calamity. These are formulae unknown to Chinese idolaters, and foreign to the language of Roman Catholics. To Protestantism alone belongs the honour of having introduced them into China ; and their appearance in the proclamation argues strongly for the truth of the widely-circulated rumour that in the heart of the insurgent army a native Protestant occupies an important post and exercises a great authority. This Protestant, according to general report, is a friend and disciple of Gutzlaff." An imperial force of 13,000 men was now dispatched to Kouang-Si to make mincemeat of the rebels, and to break up the conspiracy for ever. But the attempt as usual, failed. Half the army was slain, and the other half pru dently went over to the enemy. Seu, the discreet Gover nor-General of the two Kouangs, always shut up behind the thick walls of Kao-tcheou, and never disheartened so long as his own person was secure, swore by his slender moustache that he would be revenged for this last auda cious act of the insurgents, and proceeded to make good his terrible oath. He had recourse to stratagem. By his orders 4,000 buffaloes were got together, and twice as many torches attached to their long horns.

LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 2,185 a NICOLL'S AUTUMNAL PAT TERNS are NOW READY. THE HISTORY OF THE CHINESE INSURRECTION. sess to make it altogether free from doubt, and to allow us to receive it implicitly as an integral portion of our singu lar history. About this time, say MM. Callery and Yvan —that is to say towards the middle of 1851—there appeared upon the stage a competitor for the Imperial throne put forth by the rebel troops. Supreme honours were paid to a Chinese by the revolutionary party, who committed the heinous and unpardonable offence of deck ing their hero in the Imperial canary-coloured robe. Con trary to Tartar usages (proceed our historians) they pub lished the portrait of their sovereign, and circulated it by thousands throughout the Chinese provinces. [A copy of this portrait is placed at the beginning of L'lnsurrection en Chine, and MM. Callery and Yvan congratulate them selves upon their good fortune in being able to offer to the European public a faithful representation of the headdress and restored costume of the ancient times of Ming.] The accont given of Tien-te is so detailed that it is diffi cult to believe it an invention of the writers, unless, in deed, we are to suppose the rest of the volume a fable ; and against this conclusion the book itself furnishes satis factory internal evidence, even if the characters of the authors themselves were not sufficiently respectable to pro tect them from such a charge. Both are well known and respected in France. It is not easy to account such men ospable of inventing this episode of Tien-te, or likely to be altogether misled upon the subject ; but since perusing their work, we have been startled to find it deliberately stated; and upon good authority, in the North China Herald of May 28th last, that " the existence of any such person or title as Tien-te was distinctly ignored by the Northern Prince, the highest chief seen, who said it was a phrase of `outside people ;' and nothing was heard of the re-establishment of the Ming dynasty." in our own im pression of August 9th we published a description of Sir G.' Bonhain's inifSion to Nankin, forwarded to us from the spot by an eyewitness, and in that report the writer, who had come in contact with the rebels, distinctly states, that " it was said for some time that a descendant of the Yung dynasty (the last Chinese one) was at the head of the movement ; but, on our asking them if this were so, they said not, and seemed indifferent to the influence which they would lose by the denial, for the idea-vims not with out its weight among the Chinese." With these two statements before us, we are bound to hesitate before ac cepting the interesting history of Tien-te as auth en ti c , or regarding him as the keystone of the mighty movement that has all but wrested dominion from the enfeebled hands of its present possessors. One solution of the contradic tory accounts remains, and it may help the reader's judg ment in the matter, as it has certainly influenced our own. We have seen above that Tien-te is described as receiving at Hing-gan, in solemn state from " the Kings " his future vassals, whatever accounts they have to render of the progress of the revolution, and of their own successes in the field. These "Kings" consti tute a very important part of the revolutionary dramatis persoiue. Whether Tien-te be or be not the head of the movement, it is now apparent that, should the revolution ' into States, and, unlike North triumphant, ea,eut Ch u i p nawil in sll probability be, like 1 revolution—whether in federal union or not has yet to be prove North seen. The generals or " Kings" upon whom the immedi- I America, A n b e e r divided among the successful generals of the ' ate conduct of the war has devolved, and who are destined to share in the spoil in the event of its being won, are named in MM. Callery and Yvan's volume, and their vari ous characters given. They are five in number. The first is already familiar to the readers of the intelligence brought by the last two mails, and would appear, from all accounts ! to be at least the visible head of the revolutionary forces. ' He calls himself Houng-sieon-tsiuen, but he is also styled ' Tai-ping-wang, or the "Great King Pacificator." He is described as a tall, sunburnt man, of an eager and resolute aspect. He is about 40 years of age , and his hair and beard are already gray. He is said to be eminently cour ageous. Although his accent betrays a provincial origin, nobody is aware of his real name, and the district in which ho was born is unknown. The reader of the last most in teresting dispatches from the seat of war cannot have for gotten the lofty and blasphemous pretensions put forth by this " Great Pacificator," whose unbounded ambition is revealed in his daring assumption of divinity, and whose self-indulgence is sufficiently indicated in the nature of the suite by which he is attended, and in the terrible de crees he has issued against all who dare oven to glance at the inhabitants of his harem. It is in the name of Tai ping-wang that the war is now carried on. He is " The Celestial King," our "Royal Master." He is something more. He is the younger brother of Jesus, and in 1837 was taken up to Heaven, where he was instructed by his Heavenly Father—from whom he received books and doc trines—in all celestial matters. His celestial mother and the heavenly sister his wife are described in the published pamphlets of the revolutionary army, and the work com mitted by God to his hands is given in detail. Sober Christian will do well to hush their notes of triumph in the presence of the audacious Tai-ping-wang. lliang-tsiou-tsing, or Toung-wang, which signifies "Bing of the East," is about 35 years of age ; he is small, slender, and marked with the smallpox. All that is known of him is that he is married to the elder sister of the Great King Pacificator. Siao-tcha-kouei ' or Si-wang, the "King of the W e st," is the Achilles of this constellation of Royalty. The King of the West, one of the most highly-gifted of these bro thers in arms, is only 30 years of age, and, ac cor di ng t o report, has also married a sister of the Great King Pacifi cator. Founglien-san, of Nan-wang, "King of the South," is a scholar of the province of Canton. tra.has passed public examinations and graduated. In the midst of his active soldier's life he finds time for retirement and for the pur suit of his literary studies. Wei-tching. or Pe-wang, the "King of the North," is the Ajax of the insurrectionary army. He is exceedingly tall, has the dingy hue of a Malay, and his dark moustache is hardly to be distinguished from his deep brown skin. He is only 25 years old, and is a native of Konang-si. His physical power and singular intrepidity have gained for him a prominent position in the insurrection. Under these five Kings the entire insurgent forces act in concert, and by them the war has been carried on from its breaking out until the present moment. Now, it is just possible that either Tien-te is wholly a fiction, invented by the Kings for the sake of mystery, and for the influence which always attaches_ to a hidden power, and now dis- - EXCELLENCE and ECONOMY combined, as illustrated by the well•known Patent PALE I OT, at Two Guineas. In England, France, cr Germany, the best talent, workmanship, and materials are secured by H. J. and D. NICOLL, 114, 116, 118, 120, Regent-street, and 22, Cernhill, London. We have learnt from the last published accounts of the Chinese insurrection, that the rebels are rashers of Nan kin, and that the eyes of the victors are already straining northwards in the direction of the chief imperial city. Our next intelligence from the Celestial Empire may pro claim the downfall of Pekin—the final overthrow of the Mantchoo dynasty. The outbreak of the revolution took place at a remark able period of the history of the Chinese Empire. The war with England had brought the Chinese people face to face with external civilisation as they never' had met it before ; and the treaty which followed the success of Bri tish arms, by throwing open additional ports to commer cial enterprise, placed the natives still more largely and directly under the influence of foreign example. The pre sent Emperor, Mien Foung, b e i ng t h en 19 years of age, as cended the throne in 1850, wh en th a t t rea t y was a l re ady in force, and when it was at his option either to avail himself of the undoubted advantages of the new relations that had been formed with Europeans, or to attempt a retrograde policy in the teeth of the concessions that had been ex torted at the cannon's mouth from his predecessor and sire. The youth did not take long to decide upon his course of action. The reflectin g and experienced coun cillors of the empire, who advised'extended relations with the new corners, a liberal policy abroad, and a progressive policy at home, were dismissed from Court with disgrace, while their successors were deliberately chosen from the most violent and declared enemies of the European nations. Scarcely was the decision of the young Emperor made public before open attmpts were made by the reactionary party to destroy - whatever beneficial influence bad been exercised upon the Chinese character by contact with the stranger. Fortunately, as we all must think, some influ ences had prevailed during the short period of toleration and enlightenment, which were not altogether susceptible of eradication. China, as well as Frarce and other Western nations, has had for years her secret societies,,which estaklished, in the first instance, with 'no graver and more menacing object than that which in all countries governs the pro ceedings of masonic and similar institutions, have long occupied themselves with designs for the subversion of the Mantchoo dynasty. To the other secret societies already set on foot in China when Hien Foung ascended the throne was added, after the ratification of peace, that of the "Chinese Union," a Christian community . founded by Gutzlaff, an enterprising missionary, born in Germany, of supposed Chinese extraction, and a useful civil officer of the British Government. While Hien Foung was still briefly medi tating whether he would return to the old Tory regime, or give an impetus to the new and sensibld ideas that had started up in China during the latter days of his deceased father, disciple after disciple of Confucius was exchanging the service of Buddha for the Anglo-Saxon Protestant faith, proclaimed by British missionaries and promulgated far and wide by their first proselyte!. Too much attention cannot be given to the fact which we have just stated, for it serves to throw instant light upon what has hitherto seemed the most obscure and in explicable portion of the Chinese revolts. Given secret societies intent upon the destruction of a political system, earnest missionaries as eager to gain believers to their creed, and free intercourse between both, and the young est philosopher shall sum up in a moment the result. The result, in fact, has been precisely as we see. The Chinese haters of the Mantchoo race are cloaking their political passions under the garb of obedience to divine command ment, and the cloak sits awkwardly and grotesquely enough upon the backs of the strange wearers. If the reader will turn to the map of China he will find that the province of Konang-si is situated at the south rwuelseteernf a ex G t e r v e e m m it e y r- o G f e t e h e e ra e l m , p a i e 'r ( e i . fe K rm o e ua a ng p -s e i rt is ie u n nd e e f r t t h h e e viceroyalty of the two Kouangs—the second Kouang being Kouang-tong, which joins Konang-si on the east, and has for its capital the well-known city of Canton. Kouang-si is a country of mountains bristling with bare crests, and shorn on their summits and declivities of every species of vegetation. But its scenery is, nevertheless, very picturesque. The soil, however, is as sterile as the scenery is romantic. Cultlvation is scanty and the people are indigent. But though poor, they have the nature of hardy mountaineers, and are sober, intrepid, capable of long endurance, and ani mated with a proud spirit of independence. After ages of occupation the Tartars have failed to bring to submission the most remote mountainous districts of Kouang-si. It was among these distant hills that the great conspiracy was hatched, and nothing could have shown the wisdom of the conspirators more clearly than their choice of a starting place. The very misery of the inhabitants was an element of strength, and an army of adventurers could nowhere re cruit itself so easily as among a population living on the verge of want. Moreover, the mountain country afforded the very best possible battlefields to those who had yet their way to make by stratagem, by surprises, and mainly by de fensive operations against the more numerous and organised troops--if such a term as the last may be applied at all to the Chinese army—of the Celestial Emperor. But' there remained a more cogent reason still why any grand and comprehensive attempt against the existing dynasty of China should take its origin in the natural fastnesses of Kouang-si. In the most distant of these mountains dwell the race of the Miao-tze, a community of whom the majo rity of our readers probably never heard. until the name appeared in the accounts that have reached us of the rebel lion, but to whose adherence to the revolutionary cause in the first instance must certainly be attributed much of the success that has attended its progress. The Miao-tzes are the aborig ines of a chain of mountains which take their rise in th north of Kouang-tong, and extend into the cen tral provinces of the empire. They are a retiring race, and fix their abodes away from the haunts of men, their most numerous colonies never exceeding two thousand indivi duals. Their houses are built upon piles, like those of the Malays, and they shelter under their roof the domestic animals which they rear. They are husbandmen and war riors, fearless, and capable of any amount of fatigue. The Tartars have never conquered them. They have preserved the ancient national costume ; have never shaved their heads ; have always repelled the authority of the manda rins, and refused to adopt customs imposed by the Mant choos. Their independence is a recognised fact, and in the CONTRACTS FOR SAl.l' 13F.EF AND S Department of the Comptroller for Victualling and Transpo Services, Somerset-place, 21st July, 1853. /SHE Commissioners for Executing the Office of AA Lord high Admiral of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, do hereby give notice, that on THURSDAY, the 15th September next, at One o'clock, they will be ready to treat with such Persons as may be willing to Contract for supplying and de • livering into her Majesty's Victualling Stores at the undermentioned Ports, the following quantities of SALT MEAT, of the cue of ally country, and all of the cure of the ensuing season, viz.:-- Navy Beef.

The insurgents remained masters of the In the early part of the present year the rebels, in steady / y- z- ' ;>' - c- i pursuit of their object, descended the Yang-tse-kiang, 200 junks accompanying the expedition, and possessed them selves of Ou-tchang, the capital of Hou-pe. The city has 400,000 inhabitants, and is on the high-road to Nankin. It is built upon the right shore of the Yang-tse-kiang, near to the mouth of the Han, one of the chief tributaries of the Son of the Ocean. The importance of this acquisi tion can hardly be over estimated. It is to this place that all the productions of the celestial empire in thousands of vessels are conveyed, and that all the manufactures find their way which come to China from Manchester, Liver pool, and the United States. Poor Sen, no longer safe in his seclusion, was deprived in consequence of the loss of Ou-tchang of his peacock's feather; fresh proclamations from Pekin were sent forth to rouse the loyal to a last exertion in favour of the reigning dynasty. Every city was placed on a war footing ; every house in Kiang-Si and Kiang-nan (the last is the province of which Nankin is the capital) that interfered with a strict line of defence was demolished ; every town of importance raised its troops, and every soldier that could be spared from north to south was marched to Nankin, in order to preserve the second city of the empire from the danger by which it was too visibly threatened. His Celestial Majesty fairly con fessed in a proclamation that the troubles of his empire allowed him no repose at night, and took from him all appetite for food in the day. One chance of recovery yet remained to him. If the barbarians, whom he had hitherto treated like dogs, would only help him with their steamers, he might yet get the better of his own unruly subjects. The trial was worth making. A supplicatory address, penned with great cleveaness and tact, was forwarded to all the repre sentatives of the Christian nations residing in the Chinese ports opened to European trade. For the first time in the history of China England was styled "a great nation," and her representatives were all " hon oura bl e consuls -" nor did the organ of his Imperial Majesty fail to hint that not only would the Emperor, his Mandarins, and the pe o pl e b e eternally grateful for whatever aid ie "great nation" might afford in the hour of extremity, but that the highest mutual advantages in the prosecution of trade should indubitably follow the defeat of the insurgents and the termination of the war. How England answered this appeal to her generosity we have been informed in the the late dispatches. She has wisely taken a neutral part in the conflict, and given both Imperialists and rebels clearly to understand, that it is foreign to her policy to mingle in the broils of strange countries. Had her Ma jesty's representative been unwise enough to aid the Chinese Emperor with his guns, it is but too certain that the Celestial Monarch, instead of publicly expressing gra titude for the assistance, would have had the effrontery to an nounce that to his whole people that he h a d subfted his insurgent subjects with the aid of the latest subjugated 4 f ore igners, who rebels. The capital o , fra . .t, • .roved faithf u l t o theirstew ' • masters in the . : ,_1:‘1.: . - ; ,Te being won, th e re b e l s cont i nued to descend the Yang : tae-kiang, and occupied, in succession, Kieou-kiang, Gan-king, and Ou-hon, all on th e high road. to Nankin. Upon the news of their approach, the Go vernor-General of Kiang-nan betook himself to the menaced city at the head of all the troops he could assemble, and concentrated upon the capital the whole of his disposable force. The Mandarins prepared for the defence of the neighbouring towns, and wealthy merchants packed up their treasures and took deliberately to their heels. A panic prevailed. Money became tight, provisions scarce, gold rose to an exorbitant premium, and rice to three times its val ue . Th e re b els, profiting by the universal fright, seized all the merchant vessels in the river, and, with a formidable fleet and an army estimated at 50,000 men, presented themselves before Nankin, the five kings being at their head. The city of Nankin, which contains more than half a million souls, was, under the Mings, the capital of all China Its walls surround a city three times Paris, but i n th e midst of its deserted t streetsines asage l are ras found ploughed field s , an d grass grows onthe_ quays which for merly boasted a t r i p l e li ne of ships. Nankin is situated in an immense plain, furrowed by innumerable canals. The fertile disticts in its neighbourhood show a network of rivulets and navigable watercourses, and its own banks are planted with will ows an d b amboos. In the pro vin of Nankin grows th e y e ll ow cotton, from which is made ce the material exported once in such large quantities to Europe. There, also, is raised the greater part of the rice consumed in the empire. But, whether as accomplices or adherents, the people of Nankin have not been slow to make common cause with the insurgents, and to participate in the general feeling that has hitherto welcomed the revolutionary party. On the Bth of March the rebels appeared before the city; on the 19th they sprang a mine under the wall, stormed the place, and entered that inner portion of Nankin which was called " the Imperial city " under the Mingo, and has now the name again. That the successful besiegers will ever suffer the rare prize to fall from their hands seems hardly within the range of probability, To the Tartars who opposed their entrance they gave no mercy, but let their blood flow freely. Towards the inhabitants generally they showed the same respect that has been vouchsafed to every peaceful citizen on the march. Long ere this these inhabitants will have learnt the difference between the effete Government that has been destroyed, and the vigor ous Administration that is about to take its place. The proclamations issued by the rebel chiefs after their entry into Kiang-nan are models of composition, and would reflect credit upon civilized warfare in the western world. The invaders profess to act as deliverers of the people, and their acts correspond with their language. Their office, they contend, is to relieve the suffering and to punish the guilty ; and they express bitter regret that evil spirits, pretending to labour with them, have taken advantage of a good cause to rob and pillage, and to commit offences which, being proved, are worthy only of ignominious death. All men are warned to be careful of their conduct to repress all desire for evil, to offer no resistance, and to write " Obedient" on th e i r d oors, i n order that the " patriot " army passing through the city may protect the lives and property of the well-disposed. Nothing proves the inexorable discipline maintained in the ranks of the rebels better than these proclamations ; and nothing is more striking than the contrast which such discipline pre sents to the lawless and disgraceful proceedings that have at all times characterised the warfare of the Tartar troops One of these proclamations published about this time is too remarkable to be overlooked. It announces that the " patriot " army seeks to preserve, not to destroy; it warns all foreigners to stand aloof from the fight, in order that good commercial regulations may hereafter be established in friendly spirit, and it gives notice to the "stupid priests of Buddha, to those jugglers of Tao-se, and to the other corrupt sects, that the time has come to destroy their tem ples, and to suppress their worship." Uneasiness, as we have seen, has been felt by the British and other foreign residents at Shanghai lest the rebel force, having approached so close, should doom them to the fate suffered by the Tartars, and public meetings have been held to provide against sudden invasion. But there is no real ground of alarm. When Sir George Bonham visited the insurgents at Nankin, he f oun d th em desirous of friendly reations and expressing sorrow that Englishmen, being brother Christians, should hesitate in making com mon cause against the Tartar oppressor, whose faith is so inimical to both. For one moment distrust of the English prevailed, because it suited the Imperialists to circulate the report that from the outer barbarians aid had been ob tained to prevent the progress of the insurgent force. But it is recorded on authority that admits of no dispute that the very moment Sir George Bonham's expedition made known their neutrality the Chinese flocked to their ship in confidence, and that their first eager exclamation when they came on board was, that they too were Christians and believers in the Universal God. Of the religious hymns and pamphlets circulated by the rebels on their route our readers have already had a speci men. " The Book of the Religious Precepts of the Tae ping Dynasty," " Tbe Trimetrical Classic," and similar compositions contain prayers and declarations that may be uttered by the pious lips of any Christian in this Protes tant land • but they c arr y on th e i r front not only the re flection of the missionary mind that suggested them, but also the evidence of that glaring superstition without which it seems, in cases like the present, so difficult to make striking impressions upon the popular conviction. It has been alleged that it would have been impossible to rouse the masses in China against the Mantchoo dynasty without adding a religious element to the political crusade. It may also be true that the spiritual doctrines of Chris tianity would have been utterly useless for the end re quired had not the leader of the insurrection claimed per sonal relationship with the Messiah he announced, and im mediate communion with the Deity from whose hands his mission was supposed to have been received. Whatever be the explanation of the extraordinary combination of truth and error, revelation and paganism, it is certain that the union is productive of marvellous results. Po litical hatred is heightened by religious fervour, and reli gious fervour is increased and strengthened by audacious blasphemy. The rebels ase strong in Nankin ; they h ave added another victory elsewhere since they won the city ; and Pekin may be theirs while we write. THE STRIKES. .e. THE LIGHTERMEN. —Yesterday, the men on strike again assembled at the Bell Tavern, Thames-street, and a depu+ation from them proceeded to wait on the spokesman appointed by the master lightermen, to see if they could come to terms. On the part of the master lightermen the deputations were given to understand that whilst the men maintained their present attitude, the masters declined all negotiations. Let them return to work, and the masters were willing to go into a dis cussion of the matter, and to effect, if possible, a settle ment of the qu es ti on. At the same time, though no positive undertaking .was given, the master lightermen wished it to be understood that they did not object to increase the pay for night -work to 3s. 6d. At the same time it was stated that arrangements had been made (in the event of the men holding out) with the Watermen's Company to throw open their privilege. The men, how ever, would be sati s fi e d w ith no thi ng s h ort o f a positive promise ; and last night the strike still continued. THE CARPENTERS.—The men on the firm of Mr. W.

He has been allowed to try the experiment with the lighthouse at Meagher's Beach, which he illuminated at a charge of 191. per an• num, and effecting a saving of 501. It appears that the mode of procuring the gas was quite simple, and a steam boat company there had all their vessels lighted with it, as well as the wharves, &c. It was brought on board in India-rubber bags. The works are stated to be managed by a common labouring m an. No mention is made of the mode of preparation , n or of the material from whi c h it is manufactured, bu t it is said to be much cheaper than ordinary gas.
