It is gratifying to learn from the very best authority that our armed warfare with the slave trade has not been altogether in vain. Dr. LIVINGSTONE'S letter to the limes last Wednesday effectually disposes of the almost pro-slavery sug gestions of that journal. We trust that the tone of several of its articles on slavery and the slave trade will not lead foreigners to imagine that the great English public is either hoodwinked er has lost the least of its anti-slavery feeling. Hints OD the cost of our cruisers employed on the coast of Africa appear every now and then, probably at the suggestion of Manchester cotton-men ; but our royal navy needs a little active work some where, and we hardly know how it could be more honourably employed than in suppressing the most hellish deeds which have ever disgraced the ocean.

The Times suggests as much ; but Dr. LIVINGSTONE tells us a very gratifying fact or two touching the efficiency of our operations. He went, be it observed, to the Portuguese settle ments prejudiced against our cruising operations. His unusually strong sense and candour, however, soon appreciated the bearing of two or three un questionable facts. First, he found the Portu guese talking in the past tense of the good old days of the slave-trade. Secondly, he found that in.these good old days individuals were rich who could not maintain that character in these latter days of British cruisers. Thirdly, and here the evidence is surely unmistakeable, slave-boys, about 150 miles from the coast, were sold for 123. each, who used to fetch 60 or 70 dollars in the "good old days of the slave-trade." They were not worth, of course, hunting and capturing. Fourthly, the frank confession of those who ought to know best, proved that the cruisers were the main check on the trade. This was not all. The Government now com pels a large number of carriers to bring merchan dise at a very low price -2d. a day—to the coast, when previously to our squadron being raised to efficient strength, the work was done by slaves whom the traders bought where they bought their goods, and sold and shipped the slaves as easily as the ivory and other articles of African production. This was stepped in 1845 by the large augmenta tion of oursquadzon. The spectacle of large gangs of slaves marched down to the coast, frequently seen previously to 1845, has not been witnessed since then. The Custom-house receipts from this source for head money have since then ceased. So far as the trade is carried on by stealth, it has become a very difficult game, since for a small consideration some of the Portuguese thomselves will betray the villains to our officers ; and the kidnappers have to conceal their victims in places to the north of Loando, not only from our cruisers but from their own people too. So bad is the trade indeed, that the Dr. had seen eight slaves taken into the country from the coast to purchase BABOMICTER, 30.23. WIND, Westerly ; fresh, with fine sunshiny weather. F , - . 4 7 .§* t , LONDON, SATURDAY, DEC. 5, 1857. Well, as yet we have not received much benefit from the display of the " Collective Wisdom." Sir G. C. LEwls made a long and dreary speech in introducing the currency question, which gave but little information to the community. Of course, he wants an act of indemnity fer the vio lation of the law. It required no degree of pre science to foresee that result. It was the very matter for which Parliament was avowedly con versed, and which was of course indispensable. But we have gained nothing from the speech of the financial Minister, which was just as vague as, and if possible more dreary than, any of his former harangues. He uttered a number of pom pous platitudes respecting panics, and announced the great fact that one might take place in Ham burg, where there was a pure metallic circulating medium. It is the limitation to the issues— the prevention of the expansive power so urgently required—the total repudiation of discretion, that creates the chief mischief I—so long as converti bility is maintained. We have frequently explained our views on that point, and cannot therefore be misjudged. The Act of 1819 occasioned the evil which that of 1844 so fearfully aggravated. If, therefore, we speak on behalf of a less favourable representative of value, it is under protest, and rather accepting the change as an instalment of justice, than as a permanent monetary code, which would render the country prosperous and give fair play to in dustry. We are strongly opposed to bullionism, but for the present the battle is to be fought with " the hard calculators," who have dropped their ivory. disguises, and are at the eleventh hour appearing Dr. LIVIN GSTONE , w h o h as so th oroug hl y seen in their t rue oolours.

The latter should not be crushed for the purpose of a very doubtful benefit to the former. If wo look to the terrible list of failures--the black catalogue of those who have been compelled to suspend payments although with ample assets to meet every liability,— who have been the victims of the Act of 1844, wo must universally acknowledge the fearful error into which, in sanctioning that iniquitous and im politic law, we have fallen. On Friday next the re-appointment of the com mittee is to be moved for by Sir G. C. LEWIS. We are glad to find that it will be resisted. It is a specious pretext, a transparent humbug to de ceive the community. Let the intentions of Mi nisters be fairly announced, but do not permit them to shelve the question for an indefinite pe riod. We trust that Lord DERBY, and Mr. DISRAELI, and Mr. HENLEY, will satisfy the Go vernment of the danger of acting in accordance with the views of the hard calculators, otherwise the time may speedily come when the [nation will call for a very decided change of Ministry. Sir C. ORESSWELL has pronounced his opinion respecting the very important question of the validity of a marriage with a deceased wife's sister n a country where it is fully recognised and Judgment has not yet been given, and from the hesitation displayed by Sir J. STUART, we hope and believe that he does not quite agree with the Judge called in to assist him. At all events the matter has not as yet been settled, and we have no doubt that it will be carried to the highest tribunal in the land, before the opinion is suc cumbed to. The consequences thereof would be of a very terrible character. Not only would many persons of unquestionably moral and religious character be plunged into deep distress and misery, but thousands of innocent children would be deprived of their birthrights, and improperly and unjustly branded' with the stain of illegitimacy. We should also find some extrordinary results. Polygamy would be legalised. A man might have two law ful wives----aye, or three. Living close to the border he might have two establishments within a few miles, and another on the Continent. A Scotch divorce would entitle him to marry in the sister kingdom, but it will not be respected south of the Tweed. Of course he may marry his deceased wife's sister in Germany. There will, then, be two valid marriages according to the lex loci, or rather leges locorum, and when he comes to Merry England he may repudiate both, and contract a third nuptials. This view of the ease may appear extravagant, but it follows from the judgment of Mr. Justice CRESSWELL, which is alike opposed to natural justice and to public policy. We have but little doubt of its reversal either by judicial or legislative authori ties ; and it is, perhaps, fortunate that the issue has at length been fairly raised, so that no further postponements or procrastination can be tolerated. We may have something more to say on this important subject shortly, which will prove, be yond the possibility of doubt, the nature and extent of the error into which Sir C. CRESSWELL has fallen. k I .L' LATEST NEWS AUSTRALIA. 'The intelligence from the various gold-fields during the last month has generally been of a favourable character. Upon many of the older diggings the want of water seriously impeded ope rations. But this want has been supplied by the recent heavy rains. Hence the puddlers and crushers have been enabled to realise upon their accumulations of washing stuff. The more exten sive introduction of efficient machinery in con nection with the quartz reefs, which are every month being further developed, has rendered systematic mining a more certain and lucrative oc cupation than digging ; and the yield from this source is steadily increasing. Tae new rushes at Mount Ararat and MountPleasaut have fulfilled the expectations formed of them at the commencement. Hundreds, of course, have abandoned the new ground in disappointment, but this is invariably the case with a new rush ; but a large population remains behind, why will in all likelihood be per manently employed upon those fields ; and, judging by the successive escorts coming down, Ararat will continue to rank among our richest diggings. Deep sinking and quartz mining will no doubt in due time succeed the more primitive forms of gold seeking, which are always at first adopted upon new ground, and the more sanguine predict that a second Ballarat would be established. Many minor rushes have taken place lately with more or less success ; but the cry of a new gold-field has become a matter of such frequent occurrence that it now excites little attention, unless the attraction presented be suffi cient to occasion the migration of 40,000 or 50,000 of the moveable population of our auriferous dis tricts in the course of a few weeks, as was the case wien Mount Ararat was discovered. The following figures will show the comparative returns by the weekly escorts for the last four weeks, and the four corresponding weeks of 1856 : 1857. 1856. Week ending Sept. 18th Sept. 26th -- Oct. 2d Oct. 9th For several weeks there has been a steady in craase in the quantities brought down by the escorts. The returns for the several months of 1857 are : oz. dwt. January February March A pril May June ) July August 208,988 10 September 226,892 10 October " Only three gold ships have left since our last summary appeared. They were—the Emeu, for Suez, Sept. 17, 117,412 oz. ; the Star of the South, for Hong Kong, Oct. 5, 16,586 oz. ; and the Suf folk, for London, Oct. 5, 112,446 oz. The total quantity of gold shipped during the year, inclusive of shipments to Sydney and the neighbouring colonies, has been 2,175,143 oz., or 90 tons 2 cwt. 2 qrs. 11 lb. 9 oz., which, at 80s. per oz., yields the value of 8,700,564/. The duty paid apon this quantity is 269,852/. 14s. 9d., according to the re `urns of the Custom-house. " IMMIGRATION AND LABOUR. " Victoria is still receiving from the Old World more immigrants than, in the present condition of our land system, we can readily absorb. It is calculated that at least 30,000 have been added to our population during the past year ; and immi grants are still pouring in at the rate of 1,000 a week. If the Land question were settled on a legiti mate basis, this would be a source of real pleasure and profit to the country ; but under existing cir cumstances the immigrant, full of hope and enthu siasm upon landing here, too frequently quails before the impediments cast in the way of honest industry. " Since our lastsummary, however, the condition of the people has somewhat improved. The Go vernment has provided temporary work for a large number of those who were on the verge of destitu tion, and others have been absorbed by private in dustrial enterprise. With the prospect of an abun dant harvest, the hopes of the people have been proportionately elevated, and we are disposed to congratulate ourselves upon having passed over the darkest phase of the commercial crisis. We shill always be subject to similar visitations, however, until the existing monopolies and impediments to industry are swept away, and our resources as a nation are permitted a healthy development. " THE CHINESE. " The antipathy between the white population of Victoria and the Chinese chontinues unabated. At the goldfields and elsewhere collisions occasionally occur, and it is believed that there would be a general rising of the Euroraus for the expulsion of the ob noxious race but for the prospect of speedy legisla tion upon the subject. On the 25th ult. Mr. Haines ) obtained the sanction of the ammo of Assembly to withdraw A Bill to provide for the residence of the Chinese in Victoria.' The principle of the mea sure is embodied in the following res_thvion That it is expedient that every male native of China or its dependencies, or of any island in the Chinese Seas, and every person above the age of 12 years born of Chinese parents, should, on or before the Ist day of every month, Obtain a licence to re side in Victoria, and should pay for the same amnia of 1/.' The measure has already passed a second reading, and in some shape it is almost certain t o become law, as the public are all but unanimous in desiring to put a proper limit to Chinese immigra tion. In the meantime, the clandestine immigra tion through Guichen Bay has considerably fallen off. REVIEW OF THE MARKETS. (From the Melbourne Journal of Commerce of Oct. 15 ) Our last special edition for transmission by the Over land Mail was issued on the lfith of September, since which date we have continued without any more recent advices from E'gland or the East until yester day, when the European arrived, full nine days after her contract time, Cce delay having arisen from defects in her machinery, which will require complete overhauling, and considerable doubt is enteitained of her being able to I,av3 Sy drit'y Ltxt ihoct , i at the usual dale. As the letters were only delivered late last ev.thifig it is as yet impossible to fay how the market w ill be affected by the news. In British pro ducts we do not expect much alteration, but Eastern produce seems likely to be influenced by it. as in quiries for rice were active during the whole of yester day. From Mauritius the accounts are rather unfa vourable for holders of sugars, and we may expect some re-action from the recent advance here. The detention of the mail, a'though during the last 10 days it has disarranged, has not seriously affected business ; and it is considered that in the present state of our market the absence of advices, which it was generally thought would bring information of erremely heavy shipments, has acted rather beneficially than otherwise, and has allowed a good many goofs to go into consumption, of which purchases would have been probably curtailed if the exteit of missions had been accurately known. The month which has elapsed since the despatch of By the arrival of the Simla we have received files of papers from Melbourne to the 15th Oct., and Sydney to the 13th Oct. We take the following from the summary pub lished in the Melbourne Age of 15th Oct. : " COMMERCIAL. " There have been few changes in the import markets since the departure of the Emeu, the only movement of importance being in sugars and teas, and generally in Extern produce. The intelligence from India, together with the news of an increased demand at Mauritius, and the comparatively low stocks in this and the neighbouring colonies, occa sioned a rise of from 4/. to 6/. a ton in every descrip tion of sugar. This advance has been well sus tainel, though the last sales of cargoes just arrived show a slight reaction. There is, however, every likelihood of prices remaining firm for some months to come. " The markets have been very quiet in spirits and wines. Holders of the former have been accepting declining rates since the arrival of the Simla, and from the large quantities still in bond, and the smaller consumption during the summer months, it is not probable that the high prices obtained a few weeks back will be recovered. Martell's is now quoted at 17s. 6d. to 18s., and the position of other brandies corresponds according to the estimation in which they are held. A considerable amount of business has been doing in bulk, and bottled beers. Bass's has been firmly advancing, and is now sale able at 91. ss. to 9/. 10s. Recent sales to arrive over a term of months are reported at 8/. ss. Byass's perter and ale are worth 11s. 9J. to 12s. Several second-class brands have been in good de mand, and have commanded better prices. As the summer advances, this department of business pro mises to attract a fair share of attention. The only wines that have been much inquired after are claret and light summer wines. " Business has presented more animation during the last month, as the diggings have been more prosperous. The success of ihe new rushes, the in troduction of improved machinery, and the larger supply of water have all co-operated to increase the means of the diggers, and proportionately to im prove the position of storekeepers. Hence larger orders are coming to town, and it is expected that as the season advances, the amount of loading sent up the country will steadily improve, it being well known that for a long time back stocks have been kept exceedingly low, and limited almost entirely to articles of absolute necessity. "GOLD. ri Y (From the Age of October 15.) There were 24,284 oz. 4 dwts. of gold entered for ship moot to-day per Simla for London. The Customs revenue for Oct. 13, 1837, is as under : Brandy, 2,425 gallons, 1,213/ 6s lld ; gin, 1,203 ditto, 602/ 116 s 3d ; rum, 711 ditto, 3551 163; whisky, 415 ditto, 2081 Gs ld ; cordials, 32 ditto, 16/ 4s ld ; other spirits, 92 ditto, 461 lOs 11d ; w i ne, 1 , 994 ditt o , 1991 8 s; beer, 14,936 ditto, 3731 8r; tobacco, 1,285 lb, 128/ 10s; cigars, 163 ditto, 241 9s • coffee, 831 ditto, 61 18s 6d ; sugar, 90 cwt, 271/; g01d:12,309 oz. 3 dwt, 1,538/ 12s lld ; tonnage, 681 9s ; passengers' rate, 13/ 12s 6d ; other moneys, 33 Total revenue, 4,8531 lls 2d.

The arrival on the same day of the two mails gave occation to more bustle and excitement than has been ob servab'e f r some time about the haunts of commerce, and the various rumours of important news respecting the dis turbances in India and other items of information were largely oinvaseed. The preparation of the home mail has been the principal occupation of the day. The mail just arrived, (part of which was delivered this afternoon, has coma barely in time to admit of return letters being sent per. Simla. We take the following from the Sydney Herald of the 10th October : " FRIDAY EVRNING, Oct. 9.

The deceased gentleman, who Was in his thirtieth year, was a Jesuit priest. 7E NTZ I the last mail has been chiefly marked by very great stringency in the money market, the banks having seemingly come to the conclusion, or been forced to it by a scarcity of money, greatly to restrict, and in a measure entirely to stop those discount facilities which they had been extending to houses' of small means ; as these measures were intended to force such parties to a cash system of business, they made little distinction as to the class of paper offered, and indiscriminately throwing out good as well as bad paper, if held in weak bands, many idle, injurious rumours were current dur ing the month, but for which not the least or remotest foundation existed, and which arose entirely from the above-mentioned cause. It is wonderful bow regu larly, in spite of the scarcity of money, all engage- Iments have been met, and the absence of failures, in spite of the sudden withdrawal of accom modation, augurs an extremely healthy state of trade, an entire absence of overtrading, and a sufficiency of capital in even the smallest business proportionate to the extent of its engagements. Few commercial com munities could have payed through an ordeal such as we have lately been subjected to with such ease and facility ; and we believe that no other conclusion can be ' come to but that the trading community, as a body, is in an extremely prosperous condition, possessing individu ally greater elasticity and extent of resources than was imagined, as otherwise they could not have weathered the late financial crisis as they have done ; for wo do not exaggerate facts when we state that but four weeks ago, for all purposes of meeting current liabilities, neither goods nor bills were of negotiable value in the I hands of small houses. The improvement of trade on the diggings, consequent on a plentiful fall of rain and a return of the population from various rushes to their old localities, on an im proved find of gold on old, and continued good success in new fields, and on a general diminution of stocks, owi ig to the large quantities for warded to and consumed on new rushes, has greatly conduced to relieve the pres sure which - would otherwise have been felt in town; and it affords an additional guarantee of the impossibility of any serious derangement of our commercial and financial prosperity, as long as the gold-fields show no signs of diminished yield. _ Favourably, therefore, as we can report of the conditions and prospects of our local trade, we have to speak again in very oppasito terms of the state of the import business. Since the middle of last month, although a better trade with the interior has created a demand for goods, and a continuance of unfavourable winds has caused British arri vals to be few, prices have not in the least advanced, and the mass of goods offering for sale seems as large as ever, and effectually prevents any improvement. In fact, prices for many articles have again declined, and some generally very current staples are even more unsaleable than at the time of departure of last mail; in which category we have to place brandies, case and bulk, Old Tom, and whisky, bar iron, currents, cheese, and boots and shoes. Butter, if new and good—conditions which in late arrivals have not been met with—is in considerably better demand, and a price above market quotations could be got for it ; but the quantities of inferior butter on hand are iremendously large, and probably not less than 15000 firkins— lots of 2,000 and 3,000 firkins being held by more parties than one. For oilmen's stores a good demand has arisen, and although not positively higher, full market rates have been established. Oats have pretty well withstood the pressure of arrival, but timber, galvanized iron, and sheet leadhave, owing to heavy imports, rather declined. Candles are firmly held for 144 d. In other leading articles of import there is not much change from last month, and the diffi culty of moving off goods remains undiminished. While British imports, as a rule are doing badly, Eastern produce has again very materially advanced ; and while holders on the spot have been greatly benefitted, even for importers some profit remains on present extrava gant cost prices. The greatest change has taken place in the value of tea, which, after steadily advancing to 91. 155., have again taken a start this week, holders asking 101. 10s. the chest for good congous. Mauritius sugar at one time during the past month touched 581. for medium coun ters, but several shipments have come to hand the price receded to 55/. ; but for first-rate light counters 581. can be got. Cossipore is firm at 651., and holders are sanguine that this class of sugar, as well as Patna rice, will advance considerably, as they expect that produce will rule very high in Calcutta, owing to the complications arising from the Sepoy mutiny. Ii the export trade there is no material change. Wool and tallow remain very high, but hides have fallen full 30 per cent. Exchange on London has, since the last mail, been reduced to 11 per cent., under which none of the banks are drawing. E-C E-1113 Torß rriO N xa" MA RR .Al:iD COMRIERCiAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed quietly, and prices were unaltered. The sales were estimated at 3,000 bales. The Railway. Share Market was dull, and values were main tained. A satisfactory impression has been created by the Bank of England return completed to Wednes day last, for although the increase in the bullion is smaller than was expected, the movement in the Reserve of Notes, and the private securities continues favourable. The position of the estab lishment is slowly improving, and with a continuous influx of gold and a diminution of the pressure for accommodation, each weekly statement will ex hibit an amendment. There is no immediate prospect of a lower rate of discount, for the reserve of notes at the present moment would only stand at 268,3401., if the 2,000,0001. over-issued were withdrawn. The authorities have made a further sale of stock, and the public deposits have attained a very heavy total, as usual just before the distri bution of the dividends. The principal items and the changes they present are as subjoined : Active Circulation Decrease 237,875 Bullion 7,356,467 Increase Rest Increase Public Deposits Increase Other Deposits Decrease Seven-Day and other Bills 841,261 Increase .•• 25,423 Government Securities Decrease Other Securities Decrease Notes unemployed Increase The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, ; Mexi can, 18i- 19,t ; Peruvian 41 per Cents., 76 77 ; Ditto 3 per Cents., 51 52 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 43-4; Russian 5 per Cents., 104 106 ; ditto 4 per Cents., 95 to 97 ; Spanish 3 per Cents, 40i 41 ; ditto New Deferred, 24i- 25k. The Australian mails by the Simla were de livered in the City this morning. Great activity existed at tilA various gold-field,,, and the yield was very satisfactory. Trade was dull at Melbourne, the stocks being very heavy. The value of the im ports for the year, up to the end of September, was 11,722,9231., while the exports were estimated at 10,974,890/. There has been a further improvement in' the English stock market to-day, and business has been rather active. The Bank return seems to have in spired confidence ; but the purchases have been chiefly in connection with the arrangement of the monthly account. Several transactions for money have taken place, as the transfer books will soon close. Consols for transfer and the 7th inst., have been 91i 4, and 91 t. For the January account they are 921 1. The New Three per Cents. arc 901 1 ; and the Reduced also 99g 4. Bank Stock is 218. Exchequer Bills have been dealt in at 4s. and par. India Bonds are 335. dis.

RE-OPENING OF THE WOLVERHAMPTON AND STAF- 20 FORDSHIRE BANK.—The following notice was issued 20 yesterday :—" Wolverhampton, Deo. 4, 1857. —The 20 directors have much pleasure in stating that the bank 20 will be open on and after Tuesday morning next for the 20 payment of the debts of the bank ; and the directors 20 hope in a few days to be able to announce the opening 20 of the bank for general business." 20 A FRENCH SKETCH OF THE QUEEN AND PRINCE ALBERT.—The Queen, whom every one saw at Paris, has a lively eye, a 'bright complexion, and prompt 10 gestures ; she becomes animated whsle speaking, and 20 shakes her marabout., which gives her more of 5 merry gracefulness than of Royal dignity, especially 20 as her forms, rounded by a nascent embonpoint, are 6 better suited for tranquillity. The expression of her ~„ look is singular, and preoccupied by a mixture of 20 blunt simplicity and of compressed raillery. Although 20 short, she appears tall when seated. She frequently 20 changes colour, has beautiful hair, long eyelashes, and 20 fine eyebrows, which melt into the satin sleekness of her 20 skin. There is a vague aspect of the plump Parisienne, 10 with an Anglo-Germanic head. .Her portraits, c'umsy 20 flatterers, in order to endow her with the inert beauty of 20 the vignettes, have robbed her countenance of alt its 20 character and vitality. On each side of her was ala ly, 5 chosen with too much discernment, and at the back the 20 Prince Albert. His complexion grows lighter and lighter 20 in proportion at embonpoint raises and stretches the 10. tissues of the skin ;at the same time hie forehead loses 20 1:1 locks, and the flower of youth is giving place to 20 prosaic maturity. You are less struck with the 16 regularity of his features than with the air of good nature 10 which distinguishes his countenance. The husband 20 of the Qu.'en is esteemed ; be was altogether sym. 20 pathetic before the cornrimacerneet of the Russian war ; 20 he interests those who behold him for the first time, as would any man placed in a difficult position in 10 which he acquits himself with honour. He is reported 2g to be affable; and, far fr om see ki ng to make himself of importance, he resists e ver y temptation to put 2C hi s 1C influence in a conspicuous li g ht. Finally, he takes 2C pains to show that his att en ti on is occupied with the f progress of the fine arts, as well as of every in- g , l( stitution that bears on soc i a l economy, and to seek o'l ` nobody's favour on any o th er grounds than those of his modesty and his personal mer i ts. Such conduct evinces 2 great talent, and something better than talent. In Eeg• land the position given to Prince Albert is more gravely appreciated than in France, on &die ground ; and yet, in France especially, is there a gallant man, if only he be married. who is not more or less the husband of the - Queen.—Household Words. Loss OF LIFE BY THE INDIAN MUTINIES.—The Cal 1 . & ) • cotta correspond en t o f the Nonconformist, in a letter 40 received by the l as t ma il , has arrived, after much careful 50 inquiry, at an estimate of the loss of life among the 20 English and East Indian population during the dreadful OJ massacres of this rebellion. In several stations the 100 number has been ascertained with great exactness, a few 100 having been killed out of a great many, and the survivors 20 calculating by name each one who is missing. But in 20 cases like Delhi, Futteghur, and Cawnpore, where a Igg whole popul a ti on was cut off, it is poss ib le on l y t arrive at an approximation to the truth. His list is of 65 course imperfect, intelligence being still requ;red from 00 Lucknow, Agra, Indere, and other places, before it is pos- 00 sible to make it both correct and complete. It does not 20 include a single native, nor any persons killed in the 50 different battles; it is the li s t on ly o f those massacred 20 or of those who have died from fever and sunstroke in 25 striving to escape ; nevertheless, its items make a total 120 of 1,524 o ffi cers, civilians, clerks, missionaries, women, 00 children and other s . Of this large number, the loss cf 10 military officers amounts to 256,] and that of women „ and children to 674. If t h e entire story o f th e i r su ff er- 25 lugs and those of th e surv i vors b e care f u ll y we i g h ed, 2 5 it will surely be found that we have passed this year Eel through one of the molt frightful calamities am re. 100 corded among a civilised people.
