Now this war with China has assumed an im portance not only in England—in Europe—but all over the broad extent of Asia, and will be looked on with wondering, if not with doubt ful, eyes during its progress by those who wish for our success or discomfiture. To strike effectively we must strike rapidly and boldly. There must be no hesitation on our part, for doubt insures defeat ; while to conquer, as conquer we must, we need nerve our courage to the uttermost, and sternly go ahead. The Chi nese both fear and hate us. Let them not be undeceived in their estimate of our strength, and their fear will be turned into abject submissiveness. We must conquer or die. Thera is no alternative. Promptitude in action will ensure success, and make the war a short one. Why, then, if the troops already at or near the scene of action are waiting for reinforcements and munitions of war, without the latter of which men are idly wasting their health and time, why send these indispensable requisites in heavy slow-sailing ships, such as the Princess Charlotte and Melville—vessels, however good, by their immense capacity for stowage, are still deficient in the one thing needful—the power of pushing on over calm seas or against baffling winds ? We would respectfully suggest to the Admiralty the propriety of sending a steamer or two in company with these large sailing vessels, so that their course should be clear and straight forward, irrespective of calms, foul winds, or other casualties, to which all ships are liable. Some short time since we sent out a . few gun-boats under charge of a large steamer. Why not send out some more in company with those lino-of-battle ships ? They could be mutually beneficial. The large ships could carry the armament of the gunboats. They could even do more : they could carry a thousand tons or more of coals stowed in sacks, which would supply the steam-vessels during the prevalence of calms or light winds, and thus the voyage would be both pleasant and rapid. The gunboats will always be useful in the East, and the spare coals will be found very convenient and useful for immediate operations. Every day the freight of the squadron will be diminishing, so that a very ample supply could be embarked, and thus save both time and expense, for he truest economy is to be liberal and prompt in matters of warlike necessity. It is said the Chinese, taught by their experi ence of the late war, are preparing obstacles to ~ur approach in the Yellow Sea—fearful of an invasion towards Pekin. This may or may not be correct—but our true policy would be to send a force sufficiently strong in that direc tion, and to paralyse the Court of Pekin by the daring of our adventure. The gun-boats eould approach very near to the desired point, Lnd the diversion being promptly made would greatly accelerate the object of our negociation, while it would. teach the Chinese a moat salutary lesson not only for the present, but in all time to come. The Government has certainly carried every. thing before it with the present House of Com mons ! Whatever it asked has been granted— whatever it opposed, rejected or postponed. No arguments were wanting to produce these results. The debates might just as well have been dispensed with, for scarcely a single vote has been influenced by the reasons urged on either side. Lord PAL MERSTON is virtually a dictator, whose only leclaration need be sic vole, sic jubei, and it will `be received " with bated breath and deep humility" by his well-disciplined f)llowers. Hitherto he has been contented to put off the evil day, to get rid of troublesome luestions for the present session, leaving a large ►rrear to occupy the legislative attention in 1858. , We cannot as yet determine wish any degree of °recision what will be the next "dolgc,' but vithout pretending to any extraordinary powers .f vaticination, we may venture to predict that here will be something found in favour of the laissez faire policy, by which Hon. Gentleman may ;helve troublesome questions for an indefinite period. It is difficult to imagine a stronger case than chat made out last night by Mr. AYRTON respect ;ng the unjust and oppressive inequality of the Poor Law rating in the Metropolitan districts. The Honourable Gentleman, in a speech of great tbility and clearness, established an overwhelming case, that must have convinced every unprjudiced person, and is quite sufficient to justify immediate egislation. He showed that the burden fell nost severely on - the poorer houses, and hat while the rich were virtually ex- To conclude with Mr. W. Cooke's incomparable SCENES in the ARENA.

WIND, N.E. ; fresh, with fine sunshiny weath er . There was some rain in the night. ‘.s.ttn rf ,: b , The Chairman of the Poor Law Board raised two issues. The chief one was merely a " dila tory plea." So many committees were already sitting, that it would be difficult to find members with sufficient time and leisure to undertake a new investigation nor even if the men could be found, they would not be enabled to agree to areport before the prorogation. As to the difficulty of finding eligible members for the proposed com mittee, we suspect that " the wish is father to the thought." We are told that " where there's a will there's a way," and certainly the pending in quiries, and those which must be held in reference to election petitions, cannot be so greatly pro tracted, as to prevent a much required investiga tion from being fully and properly conducted. The second point made by Mr. BOUVERIE, was that the motion did not go far enough—that it ought to apply to the entirelkingdum, in which 'he abuses were as flagrant as those complained )f with respect to the metropolis. But, surely, th at is no reason for refusing redress to an ac knowledged grievance of the greatest possible magnitude. We, too, should desire to extend justice t o a ll our m that account, fellow-subjects, abut we cannot, refuse to accept a handsome in stalment, whi c h might be regarded as " the intro muction of the sharp end of the wedge," and which would unquestionably lead to the eventual triumph of truth and justice. • Let Mr. AYRTON persevere in the course on which he has so nobly entered. Sooner or later he must succeed. He has done well, so far as he has gone, and if there be only the requisite agiti tion—if the pressure from without be sufficiently stringent, Ministers must yield, and a great, blot will be eradicated from the National Statute Book. We have recently witnessed a striking instance of the ill effects of Ultramontanism in Belgium. It was by mere accident that a general convulsion was prevented. At the last moment King LEOPOLD perceived the full extent of the danger to which his dynasty was exposed, and adopted the only course that could check the revolutionary spirit. Hitherto •it has succeeded, but it will require great caution, combined with firmness, to render the restored tranquility permanent, and to restrain the aggressive propensities of the parti pretre. We have already explained the nature of the difficulty. It was occasioned by the attempt to bring about sacerdotal domination by removing all the necessary checks to the aggrandisement of religious bodies, and the exercise of spiritual denunciations to induce dying sinners to leave their wealth to the Church, in order to obtain the absolution they require, although purchased by the ruin of their families. In every Roman Ca tholic country, similar checks have been found to be indispensable, and indeed wherever the sacer dotal element predominates, and the nation becomes " priest ridden," its decline and fall may be readily foreseen. This is the case through out Italy, with the exception of Piedmont, in which papal encroachments have been stedfastly and energetically resisted. Look to the condition of Naples, of Tuscany, of the States of the Church, of the Lombardo-Venetian provinces, and of the minor Duchies l In all these, the priests rule the roast, and the natural result follows—the most cruel persecutions exist, and liberty is vir tually extinguished, or trampled under foot. All the wonderful resources of the country—its fer tile, benignant climate, and commanding situa tion, are insufficient to raise it from the degrada tion to which it has been subjected by yielding to priestly domination and sacerdotal tyranny, which is invariably inimical to the cause of freedom. Again, in Spain—once a great power in the most extensive meaning of the phrase —we have seen the like causes producing the like results. All is confusion. Ministerial crises are occurring almost every month. No Government has rested on a firm basis. It has been a Para dise for the Priests, but something more allied to a place, not to be mentioned to ears polite, for the great body of the People. We do not say that this system is the exclusive attribute of the Ro man Catholic Church, but it has certainly been more strongly developed in countries where that is the State religion, and where the greatest defer ence is professed to the Vatican. We believe that, if temporal power was conferred upon the Anglican Church, it would be nearly, if not alto gether, as strongly prejudicial to the cause of civil and religious liberty. It is, as we have stated, Sacerdotal domination, in any way, and every form, to which we objet`. We earnestly hope that the People of Belgium will maintain their ground, and that there will be an end to the ob noxious propositions, against which they have so indignantly and so energetically protested. Dr. LETZIEDY'S Report—yesterday submitted pro forrnd to the Court of common Council— contains some rather melancholy revelations. Yet altogether it must be regarded as really, to a con siderable extent, encouraging. It, naturally enough, depresses the heart of the Humanitarian, but it does not appal it. And it is not so very long ago when the Medical Officer of Health's report—based upon the returns of the Inspectors —could not have failed to do this, namely to ap pal the heart of the philanthropist by the fright ful nature of the revelations consequent upon any such investigation. The truth is that by this time, thanks be to GOD, the condition of the more squalid parts of our vast and populous capital have been, to a very considerable extent, 1 ameliorated. Nevertheless, it must, at the same time, be admitted that while "much has been done," yet " more remains to do !" White friars may no longer be the place of abomination it was of yore, when the favourite resort of the bully-ruffians of old London was the Thieves' im periana in, imperio, down in the noisome lanes and alleys of Alsatia. St. Giles s, again, may have been, for the most part, so swept away, and altered, and improved in its general character, so changed and vehtil ited, so " opened up" to the light and air of heaven, that its foul memory and its tainted ' name alone survive to attest the fact of its once villainous and destructive existence. But while the bold and comprehensive measures of social and sanitary innovations haveen effectually oblite rating some of the dewiest of all the great plague-spots of the metropolis—there still remain of course many villainous evils of the same kind hidden away in the meaner " back shims" of Lon don imperatively requiring removal at our earliest possible convenience. Dr. LETIIEBY'S melancholy, but still, we repeat, encouraging, report specifies several of the local-- ties demanding the attention of our sanitary in novators more immediately. The indecorous over crowding of some of these places he takes particu lar occasion to notify and reprehend. Conspicctous among the scenes so mentioned being Peahen court, Foster-street, Rose-and-Crown-court, B.alf moon-street, and Sherrott's-buildings. As to the first-mentioned of these miserable by-ways, Dr. ImiftEirr observes that there, in Peahen-court, he has found in one of its wretched tenements (No. , r) as many as nineteen human beings stowed a. way in six small rooms—viz., five men, seven women, and seven children. Observe what the Medical Officer of Health says in continuation I " The house stands at the end of the court, and forms a cross barrier, but one room deep, between Pea hen-court and Union-court, which are in a straight line with each other. That its re moval would be attended with great advan- tag() to the neighbourhood there cannot be a doubt, for Peahen-court is a nar row passage standing between fourteen houses, that are now occupied by 46 families of 141 in. dividuals. All the houses are but one room deep, and generally they consist of three rooms placid one over the other. Tha ventilation of the whole court is defective, and I believe that sickness and fever are of constant occurrence amongst its inhabitants." Obviously, therefore, the total removal of this obstructive and destructive tene ment is a change for the better, suggested by every kind of prudential consideration. It is not, however, by merely proposing to de- S troy that Dr. LEITIIEBY sketches out his scheme of Sanitary Improvements for the acceptance or rejection of the municipality. That, in truth, would be a very clumsy, barbarous, and ill-con- sidered mode of procedure. It is sometimes, of course, imperatively demanded by circumstances. But it is by no means the rule. It ought at all times to be regarded as for the most part excep- tional. So thinks Dr. LETHEBY—for this is the only hint of his, in the present report, at anything like absolute destruction. Ho recommends clean sing always—ventilating and lighting, frequently —and ecca,ionally, but rarely, reconstruction. No. 7, Peahen-court, however, he wants to have altogether destroyed. As illustrative of the really practicable and homely character of some of his suggestions of improvement, we would particu larly direct attention to his mention of the con stantly recurring nuisance at 10, Bartholomew close, where the occupant, a marine store dealer, accumulates, upon his premises, every week upon an average, fat, bones, grease, and kitchen stuff to the extent of 7or 8 cwt. Whereupon says Dr. LETHEBY, " I beg to recommend that instructions be given to him to store the fat in barrels with close fitting covers, and the bones in well tarred bags, and that the same be removed, stored as they are, twice a week." These are precisely the right kind of simple and rational suggestions ad mitting of general and instant application—pre cautionary measures, likely (when once adopted far and wide as a system and not as a caprice) to be productive of benefits all but incalculable to the great mass of the population. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 17, 1857 It will be seen, by our naval intelligence, that some of the troops destined for China have al ready sailed in two steam transports—the Mauri tine and Cleopatra. Mote are to follow in the Princess Charlotte (three-decker), and the Mel vale (two-decker). Both these ships are heavily laden with provisions, military and naval stores, lIINIMIIII.I ROYAL SURREY GARDENS. This is a week of festivals. The great Handel demon stration at the Crystal Palace, in the afternoon, has scarcely terminated when the hour approaches for another musical entertainment of a different kind, though of high pretensions, on the same side of the water, and much nearer at hand. ten days' festival, instituted by M. Jullien, at the Surrey Gardens, which began on Friday with a very fine performance of Haydn s " Creation"—the success of which was recorded at the time—has gone on prospering. A "Beethoven night" on Saturday, including,, among other things, the symphonies in A. major and C minor, entire, and .the pianoforte concerto in C minor ( execu t e d by Miss A.rabella Goddard), was equally lacky ; and on Monday a third performance of Mendelssohn's "Elijah" brought one of the largest audiences that have assembled in the Music Hall since the commencement of the present season. Last night the chief part of the programme was devoted to Mozart, from whose vocal and instrumental works a splendid programme was constructed. The hall was crowded in every part, and by an audience both anxious and able to appreciate. There was a selection from "11 Flauto Ha gico," and a selection from "Don Giovanni," besides other things of great interest. Madame Gassier, Mademoiselle Westerstrand, Madame Rudersdorff, Mademoiselle M. Rudersdorff, Herr Reichardt, M. Gassier, and Mr. Weiss, sustained the principal solo parts. This performance was equally successful. The second part of the concert was " miscellaneous." The Mozart selection, in consequence of its immense at traction, is to be repeated on Thursday night, with the same programme. This evening the first part of the con cert is dedicated to Mendelssohn, and in the course of the festival FLy.ln's " Seasons" and Handers " Messiah" will b 3 presented. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

It is said that at the last Cabinet Council a me morandum was communicated from M. de Thou venel which was lately received' from Constanti nople.

A'letter from Bologna, of the 6th inst., informs us that for several days previously the Austrian troops who occupy that town had been constantly employed in executing various manoeuvres. Gen. Giulay, the Commander-in-Chief of the Austrian troops in the Lombardo-Venetian provinces, had arrived at Bologna, and was present at the military operations. One of those manoeuvres consisted•of a sham insurrection, which was instantly suppressed. The Pontifical gendarmes were posted at the corners of the streets to prevent the passage of carriages and to leave the ground clear for the. Austrian troops. The manoeuvre concluded with a gene ral discharge of artillery. The Austrians appeared anxious to show that though the state of the siege is raised they had not quitted the town. Many of the inhabitants thought it a curious fact, that a manoeuvre representing an insurrection should be executed at the moment the Pope is about to pay the city a visit. It appears that the best under standing does not exist between Monsignor Amici, the Pope's Prolegate, and Count Degenfeld, who commands the Austrian troops at Bol.)gna. The General wished that Austrian troops should line the streets on the entrance of the Pope. Monsignor Amici was perfectly awaro that such a proceeding would irritate the population and dimi nish the chances of his Holiness meeting a go .d reception. Another cause of discord between the Cardinal and the General is, that the Cardinal wished that the Pope's guard of honour should be composed alternately of Austrians and native troops, but the General would not hear of native troops. On the 4th of June a travelling carriage was stopped on the post road from Ferrara at a dis tance of three miles from B ilogna, by highwaymen, and the travellers (foreigners) completely stripped of everything they possessed.

The heavens have orened for newly a week upon our muddy streets ctiitheut perceptibly diminishii g the accumulation of filth. The dogstar tempera ture has come long before its time, mosquitoes and miasma alike fill the air, torrents of rain are suc ceeded by hot sunshine, wise sanitarians prophesy all sorts of disease,,and yet New York retieiitis dirty and grows fie tier. I wondar that this city lys not been swept from the face of the earth by some pestilence long before this. Nothing bet some awful calamity for which it is reserve.] heidafier can account for its salvation hie herto. Those who are accustomed to London, with its ex cellent sewers and its well-cleaned streets, can not have any idea of the miseries to whiil the merchants of the Western metropolis are sub jected. I believe that there is scarcely ever a time when the streets are in order. Iu the winer we are told that it is impossible to remove the snow ; we wade patiently through the dirty sand, looking like a crushed tertiary formation—much worse, however, for our boots—in the hope that spring will bring relief. Spring comes, with the March winds and frosts lasting till the m'ddle of May, and we assent to the impossibility of clearing accumulations under such eircum-tances. Summer follows, and we are yet without relief. Should the yellow fever appear again at the doors, or even the less dreaded cholera, some effort may be made to wards a momentary cleanliness. Unless we have some such godsend as that there seems to be little hope of relief. - The condition of things here is be yond belief unless actually seen,—even if se n it seems scarcely credible in a city of the wealth, cul ture, and commerce of New York. No other town in the country is so. English Boston is a model of cleanliness ; no difficult matter, to be sure, in so small a space. Philadelphia is reasonably clean, Baltimore is not dangerous from its dirt, and the metropolitan city of Washington covers too much ground to make the matter of its streets and sewers of mueh consequence, except in a case like that of the National Hotel. But i>f New York the less said the better. London, in Gay's time, .must have been a Paradise to it. The Arigo carried to you last Saturday the news of Walker's surrender. The great Filibuster found it necessary to run, and had toe wis tom to do it in the right direction. A Government vessel lay conve niently in the offing, and after a proper amount of parley and negotiation the surrender was made on terms which I enclose. Walker and hes force marched on board, and the Costa Ricans took possession of the country which he left. He was tee ted with a proper degree of consideration by the officer to whom he surrendered, and is now in New Orleans receiving the honours of a hero. His brother Fili buster, General Henningsen, who is the real mili tary man of the whole affair, is iii New York. They talk about other expeditions, but up to this time the needful money is wan ing. Fur the last 16 months Walker's downfal has been a question of time and pluck. His first and great error was in quarrel ling with Commodore Vanderbilt. He seized, as you will rememher, the property of the Transit Com pany, in which the Comeio lore was 1 argely,int rested, and transferred the grant to a n"w company, of which some of the Commodore's sworn fo s were the mainstays. The Commodore subsidised Costa Rica ; and, although Walker received a•d from others, his downfal may be said to date from the day when he elected to quarrel with a great New York capita'ist,, with interests on the Isthmus. His promulgation of slavery was another rr ason for his fall. The semi black races of the Isthmus had no fancy of being brought under the yoke of a race of professed propagandists of slavery, and united to expel him. Now that he is out, the disposition of the victory is another, and by no means so easy a mat ter to settle. The quarrel is again transferred to New York. Here are now three separate grants f,.r the Nicaragua transit—the old transit grant from the State of Nicaragua under which the route was worked lze.fore the seizure of the country by Walker ; the Walker grant ; and a grant ft ern the new authorities. The capitalists are struggling which shall prevail. Could they unite it must prove profitable, for it is shorter in distance than the route by Panama, and experience has demonstrated that the passage can regularly be made in less time. But, meanwhile, the whole Californian traffic threatens to be comet Ss profitable. Eastet n capital, it is said, is withdrawing from Sari Francisco. Two large capitalists have already mired from that market, and others are about to fellow. Real estate has fallen there, the import of goods is dimin ishing, and there are various other signs to show that the prosperity fever has worked itself to a white heat and is now cooling down. Still the pro duction of gold does not sensibly diminish, nor, is there any present reason to fear that it will do so. On the contrary, there is reason to believe thset the increase of quartz-crushing machines will he: eafter in•.rease the regular production of the pr. cions metal in a way that can be depended upon. There seems also to be a disposition, in that remote re gion, to pay its debts, if legislative action can be taken as an exponent of popular feeling. The Legis lature have passed .a law legalising the over-issue of State Bonds, and have directed that the popular vote be taken upon the question in such a way as 'o almost insure its legalisation. Upon the back of the "tickets" at the next general election the voters are to inscsibe wlieeher,teey are for repudia tion or for payment. As thd " tickets" for each patty are printedand issued by a central committee, I his gives the wire-pullers power to control the mat ter. It is said •te be the intention to issue none except with the light iuscription. If this machinery works well it may be recommended to the politi cians of Mississippi, Florida, and Michigan. The Arago, on Saturday last, carried out Grelet, the defau'ting clerk of the Nor- hern Railway of France. On Thursday the judgment of the com missioner upon the long drawn out evidence was quietly made up and transmitted to Washington. The return mail brought a warrant from the State Department for the extradition of the offender. Resistance was, of course, to be expec , ed in those days of writs of habeas corpus and injunct'ons. To insure agains4 these the prif,.ner was put on b , aril a tug steamer. lie resisted stoutly, curs,fd and swore, struck at the office's, screamed, and other wise manifested his indisposition to return to that beautiful country which every Ken lint -n thinks without a parallel. But the marshal was inexor able, put him in irons, and carried him down the harhour in the s earntug. When the habeas corpus c Line out from the Star) Courts the prisoner. was in the offing awaiting the sailing cf the Arago, to which he was duly transferred; and it is to he hoped that before this teiches you he will be restored to the &tams r , f Paris. The conflict between State and Federal jurisdic tions, which was attempte in the case of Greet, had actually happened in Ohio. The United Stites' marshal, charged with a ware ant fur the arrest and examination of certain fugit va slive4, took poses stun of the walking chattels for th purpos.., of car rying them off. The people of the iienglibouih , :o I interfered, an I the slaves escaped. Then pr ,cess was sued out against t .oie who ha I aided in the escape, and they were arrested. This was followed by a habeas corpus for their recovery The marshal and his followers forcibly resisted the service of this wilt, and were taken into custody by the State authori ties, and are now confine 1 in gaol awaiting th it trial for this offence. In the meantime they have reported to Washington the resistance wish which the enforcement of the Fugitive Slave Law was met, and there tiromises to be a very pretty little quarrel. I think, but of this lam not quite sure, that the Sate of Ohio, like sever al of the Northern Stites, has enacted a stringent 1-tw for the protection of the persmal liberty of it; citizens. If se), there may be cons , itotional ques tions growing out of this ease as important as those decided in the famous Dred Scott case. The Southern Counties of Ohio border upon Kentucky, a Slave State. The Northern Central counties are mostly peopled by the descendants of Eastern emi grants, and are strongly anii.slavery. In the conflict of jurisdiction it is therefore likely that the State authoriti' s will be strongly supported by the people of the State, and that the world will again see in Democratic Ameri ca a l aw en f orce d by py sical power in a community to which it is extremely odious. The brother of the great founder of Mormonism has coma out with a manifesto against Brigham Young, charging him with all manner of cr i mes , from treason down to petty larceny. The worst of the charges is that there is every reason to beli-,ve them true. 2,000 troops are to be sent with the new governor ; but 2,000 troops are a bagatelle comp trod with the difficulty to be met and over came. There is quartered in the territory of the Unite) States a force of many thousands hostile to it in spirit, in re4tion, and in institutions animated by theocratic fervour, and united by common super stition. If we can b-lieve the stories which We receive from those remote regions, no excesses are too g eat for public sanction if committed upon those hostile to the prevailing relig'on. This Government will make a mistake if it fails to strike an exterminating blow before the pest grows any worse. The trip of the Niagara to London seems to be confessed to be a failure by the press, although some apologies are offered. A great deal was exp , _o eI of this vessel. She was taken out of the bands of the naval architects, and her design and structure in trusted to the late Mr. Steers, the builder of the famous yacht America. It may be Vat she has not had a fair trial yet, and that she ought to env her bittery to make her trim for fast sailing ; but .he must do better than she has yet done to make • that battery of m uch use in the peculiar service fur which she is intended. ne woman killed, at Ncwburg some time since turned cut yesterday to have been the wife ()fa g 111 Atis•acho, ! ett s , who came to New York for the &auk) purpose finirigue and plunder, aV j who met her fate while in pursuit of one or Of other object.
