BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. 1 ha essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con •-'quences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other elms of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal it particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the h.alth, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. it is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are rinciples of personal management which cannot be violated with , ut incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc ceed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may he removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all. that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

The Russians have played the first card in the game which is uow to come off here. On the 2d inst. Count Putiatin, Vice-Admiral Aide-de-Camp, General Governor of Amoor, Minister Plenipoten tiary and Ambassador Extraordinary from his Im perial Majasty the Emperor of Russia' o tha Court of Pekin, landed here in plain costume and from a little boat, accompanied by a suite as unpretending As their principal. He had left his steamer at Woo sung to coal, and took up his residence with the American house of Russell and Co. The only visits he paid, except return visits of ceremony, were to Mr. Beale, au old friend whose guest he had been when stationed here before the war, and to Mr. Hurd, the head of another of the principal Ameri can houses at this port. From these little facts some people draw conclusions as to a probable coincidence of Russian and American councils in the forthcom ing negotiations. _ _ _ - Count Putiatin left Petersburg in April, tra velled overland in 70 days to the Amoor, where be found the America, a paddlewheel war steamer, nuilt in America during the war, and sent round the Horn and across the Pacific by our kind cousins. The Count steamed down to the mouth of the Peiho, :end, after delays and much difficulty, succeeded in despatching an announcement of his mission to Pekin. Having occupied the necessary interval very agreeably in Shanghai, he is now gone north again to seek an answer to his despatch. The America left Woosung just before the heavy gale, and was seen standing northward making very heavy weather. The Admiral has no force with him, and hi§ embassy is evidently of an entirely pacific character. seems to be thought here that the otjects of the Rusßians extend no further than to convert their college at Pekin into a diplomatic establish ment, and obtain a participation in the privi leges granted to nations " heretofore trading to Canton." With an Ambassador at Pekin they can work out the rest at their leisure. Meanwhile the odium of all coercive measures is to be thrown upon the English and the French. We shall seepresently how this will work. The Count will either go to Pekin, or he will be back here before the next mail leaves. If Russia gains time by this quick isolated step, she also risks. From the treatment she receives we may surely learn something that may be uselul to us. The weather has broken up, and we are suffering a succession of gales which masks the change from the south-west to the north-east monsoon.. bteamers therefore will come slowly and at much expenditure of coal from Hongkong hither, and sailing ships, if these incumbrances are to come, must be towed. After the north-east monsoon has settled into its steady course, there are, however, usually some weeks of fine weather, and we may still hope that something will yet be done. I believe the Pekin weather to be a bugbear. Lord Macartney did not leave Tartary for Pekin till the 21st of September, nor Pekin till the Bth of October. He traversed the whole of China to Canton between the Bth of October and the 18th of September. We have heard nothing here either of the French Ambassador nor of Lord Elgin. But this is not dispiriting, as, according to former computations, they are not due till the last week in September. Perhaps this mail, as it passes Hongkong and Sin gapore, may gather some tidings of them both. The French show signs of movement. As! came here from Ningpo, we had opportunities of seeing the coast. My little sailing-boat sped from point to point during the intervals of light skies and mo derate weather; and then, when night or the gale grew heavy, flew with half-closed wings before the howling blast, and nestled in some winding inland creek known only to experienced opium -runners or the native fishermen or pirates. baring these de vious fits of progress we saw the Capriciense French frigate trying to make way northwards, and alarge steam transport, which we thought to be Russian, but which turned out to be also French, lying at anchor under a sheltering headland. This is all the news Shanghai affords. Ike Rus sian officers have, indeed, been most provokingly candid and circumstantial as to their means of de fence at Castres Bay and Petropaulovski, and as to their escapes. It would be easy to make an amus ing letter out of these revelations. But cui bono ? Let these unpleasant topics cease. Some Horace Walpole is no doubt telling the next ago all about it. In a former letter I told you that I bad esta blished a little channel of communication i. with Mr. Commissioner Yeh's back p o a f r t our in Canton. Un fortunatelytortus.

In a printed publ cation, having something of the character of a newspaper, which is in circula tion at Canton, it was stated three weeks ago that negotiations for peace, together with resumption of trade, have been delayed in consequence of the English "head man" having been compelled to leave for Calcutta to take part in the fighting that is going on there, and the settlement of these questions is accordingly for the time postponed, until the Ame rican Commissioner "Forbes" (!) can come down from Shanghai. If it be true, as my informant states, that Yeh has removed all prohibitions on trade, you will pro bably hear of a brisk traffic being done at Macao in the teas, &c., that we know were shut up in Canton or its vicinity, as much of this and other produce can reach Macao from the West without risk, so long as the port and river of Canton are ihe only paints blockaded. The most important, however, is what is said of the advance of the rebels towards Canton. Shaou hing is scarcely 90 miles west of Canton, the river leads direct from one place to the other, and there is no point between the two at which the passage of a force could be disputed. Our best hope that the rebels will not traverse those 90 miles must be that they know they will find only f amine at their jour ney's end. (Translation.) "REPORT No. 1. the" G O o n ve t r h n e or 2 -G 8 t e h n J er u a l l y ( H ye o b w ) r a a nd v is w it a e the sd received d m b u of by his his Exce leucy in the western roception-room. The inter view lasted for a couple of hours (Chinese or English not specified—one of the former is equal to two of ours), and the attendants and every one else were excluded from it. It is impossible, therefore, to say what formed the subject of it. "At about 8 a in. on the 29th the Governor-Genera l summoned two of the linguists before him, and put various questions to them, the subject of these questions being the state of affairs in Hongkong and its vicinity. He also required the linguists to bring him an official letter that had been brought to Whainpoa by an American ship. As soon as the Governor-General had perused this letter he ordered the officer in charge of the gate of yamun to inform How qua that his Excellency wished to see him, and the expectant Taoutee (or Intendent of Circuit) Chin was also desired to wait upon his Excellency. The subject of the conference held by his Excellency with these officers was an application on the part of the Americans to be allowed to trade. _ . " We hear that the American; have expressed their readiness to present the Governor-General with $200,000 in the event of his permitting them to carry on trade (at Canton) as hereto f ore. _ _ " On the 30th of July Howqua proceeded, by direc. tion of the Governor-General, to Wbampoa to see there the American Consul and other officers, and to settle with them relative to the permission given to the Ame rican merchants to trade at Fushan, Chinteun, and other places. " The Americans had another request to make — namely, the grant of au island at which they might carry on their trade with China, but the Governor-General said he could decide on nothing in reference to this im portant matter without previously bringing► the subject to the notice of the Emperor. " Letters have been received from Foochow, stating that the committee (tor supplies of war) at Nantai, the suburb lay the bridge, resolved on levying a tax on Patna opium of 40 dole. per chest, and 4 do's. per 10 catties on Mal a/a and Turkey opium. "The Guvernor-General took occasion only recently to inform all the high principal officer+, comprising the Principal Committee for War Supplies, that as the bar barians now desired to treat for peace some relaxation might be allowed in the strict guard hitherto maintained and that with this view the (or certain of the) city gates might be opened, and traffic again permitted. Subse quent to the issue of these orders, reports were repeatedly received of Shaoubing being greatly distressed by rebels who, it would appear, have invested that city. Direc tions were thereupon given for the despatch of some of the officers, soldiers and braves who had been employed against the barbarians, to relieve the said city by extir pating the rebels, and accordingly a force embarked in 70 boats, under the orders of Soohai, bound to Kaouming a district city near to Shaouhing. This force took its departure on the 25th and 26th of July, and on the 2cl inst. word came that it had sustained a severe defeat, many of the boats having been burnt, and the whole force scattered, Soohai himself was among the missing. " The 29th of July being the Emperor's birthday, all the provincial authorities were in attendance at gunfire in the temple dedicated to his Maje.ty, where they did reverence before the sacred tablet, For seven days, viz., from the 26th of July to the let of August, they all ap peared in public in full uniform." " REPORT No. 2. " The following particulars have been taken from the records in the yamun of the Governor-General : ( The first report describes the measures taken by the Governor-General to prevent the exportation of copper cash to Shanghai, his interviews with the prefect and magistrates of Canton, and the orders issued resulting in the arrest of 12 of the money-changers, who, it was understood, would he severely punished, &a.) " On the 6th of August the Governor-General sum moned Lin Fuhehing, an expectant Prefect, anl one of the officers of the Committee for the Supplies of War. Shaouhing, it appears, has been invested by a rebel force, who, taking advantage of the swollen state of the West River, swept dovrn past Fungchuen and Tihhing, two cities near the borders of Kwangei province and about 150 mil-s to the west of Shaouhing, their advance being greatly assisted by means of large rafts constructed of heavy spars lashed together, and having fires lighted at the foremost end. Their presence before Shaonhiog occa sioned the greatest distress and'olarm in thatcity. News had previously been received (at Canton) of the defeat of Soohai's (late Admiral at Escape Creek) fleet with the loss of 70 junks—the number of missing soldiers and officers had not been ascertained. The Governor-Gene ral's object in now summoning Lin Fahshing was to direct him to go to the relief of that place with 1,000 of the Lin Braves (a body raised for the defence of Canton by his father, who acted at one time as chief magistrate of Shanghai, therefore called Lin Braves—the braves raised by Lin), and the Governor-General authorised him to hire 30 fast boats to serve as transports, and to travel day and night. ',Swan Tapir, thit,,sailitary cool mandarin-chief of-the-whole province, is holding Shaou hing against the rebels with 'about 3,000 regulars. " On the 7th of Aug. the Governor-General or bared the acting Taoutai Le and the expectant Prefect Chin to take a linguist with them, and proceed to Ta Sliih and Chanchow to confer with the American merchants there, but the particular nature of the business did not transpire. " Again, all the boats at Chintsun, Kiangman (towns of supply for Canton and Macao), and other places, that have been lying there laden with tea and silk and other produce, have received passes from the Chinese authori ties allowing them to proceed to Macao and to trade there with the foreign merchants. " The principal officers of the Committee for the Sup plies of War—viz., the Commissioner of Finance and Commissioner of Justice (being the highest officers of the province next to the Governor-G- neral and Gover nor), bad an audience of the Governor-G , neral to in an informal winner the condition of the funds at their disposal. They represented that they bad already de livered to the committee the following recent contribu tions : Tads. From the Shuntih district From the fleargsban district .000 From the Sichwuy district As well as additional contributisras or percentages from other sources of 78,000 Total "They further represented that now, while the bar barian affairs remained unsettled, the daily expenditure of the committee for the hire of junks, braves, and their equipments amounted to upwart.l4 of 12,000 tank, and that this sum would now be further b.creased by up- wards of 7,500 %eels in consequence of the addi,lonal outlay they were obliged to incur to provide means for checking the alarming advance of the rebels upon Shaoaking ; that therefore the incomings were not suffi cient to meet the expenditure, and they accordingly moved the . Governor-General to appoint a depute- tion, consisting of a taoutai and a preie . ct, with 10 s'Bo. elates of the rink of district magistrates, ie make a tour through all the districts of the province, to raise therein all the contributions in their power, making returns of the same every three months to the Provincial Govern ment. The proposal received the assent of the Governor General, who said that the appointment of the officers who were to compose the deputation should be made on the 11th or 12th of August. " The levy of an import duty on opium both in the viceroyalty of the two Kiang provinces and in that of Fuhkren and Chehkiang has been officially announced (iiy the Governors-General of those provinces to the Government of Kwasgtung), and his Excellency the Superintendent of Maritime Customs at Canton and the Governor-General Yeh have despatched a joint memo rial to the Court, begging to be instructed whether it Is his Majesty's pleasore that the same course shoull he adopted in these provinces. This memorial was sent off in idle charge of a or *lair on the Bth inst. "The Le Szeting (a Tartar civilian) reported the issue of ratinns to the Tartar troops for the fifth month (May, June). On this occasion 740ths had been issued in grain, and 3-10ths in cask, the total amount of grain being 7,600 shill, and of cash 3,200 teaou and upwards. (A shih is about equal to a picnl, 1331 b. ; a teaou is 1,000 cash, about 6s. Bd.) "On the BLh inst. au officer reported his return from Pekin, and that he was the bearer of a present, consisting of incense, deers' sinews (which are stewed into a soup, a great Chinese luxury), and other thiuge, which the Emperor had been pleased to confer on Yeti's father. These were accordingly received in state in the Viceroy's yamun. "iDated Canton, Ang, 10." (Translation ) " REPORT No. 3.—NOTE OF OCCURRENCES IN THE VA MUN OF THE IMPERIAL HIGH COMMISSIoNER YEEL " August 20. "One of the Viceroy's messengers (an officer) arrived to-day from Pekin. He brought a despatch from the Noy- woo-foo (or office for the management of the Impe rial household), stating that the Emperor had been Pleased to direct that the Superintendent of Maritime Customs for the province of Kwaugtung (or Hoppo of Canton) should continue to hold that appointment Ur another year. A second despatch from the Nny-woo-foo enclosed eight taels' weight of pearls and 370 pieces of ginseng, the value of which, estimated at 114,000 taels, the Hoppo is required to pay into the treasury of the household.

Th e C o mmissioners who have to i 7 provide for the necessary munitions for that force have sent an officer to Canton to purchase 2,000 rattan shields and 500 foreign muskets, and their Excellencies had to consider whom they should depute to procure the latter either at Hong King or Macao. " Tsang-fungn-een, the admiral commanding at Yang Kiang (in Shaouhing department), and Wei-teeliang, commanding the naval station at Shun-tih (between the Bogue nd- Canton), were admitted to an interview with the Governor-General, and received directions to take under their orders 3,000 regulars and militia, and baying embarked them in 50 war-boats and 30 cargo-boats, to proceed with them to the relief of Woochow with all possible despatch. " The head Committee for the supplies of War issued 20,000 taels of silver to certain officers deputed by them to purchase at Chin-teun and Kiang-mun 10,000 piouls of rice, which it is the intention of the committee to forward immediately to Woocbow, under convoy of a force of 500 men that have been told off for the purpose. The Commissioners of Finance and of Justice waited upon the Viceroy to report to bile the condition of the funds of the head Committee for the Supplies of War. They have still in hand 581,000 taels, but this sum it appears, is not more than su ffi c i en t t o meet the demands that will be made upon them during the first 10 days of th i s mon th (August—September.) They therefore sug gested that officers should be deputed to visit the va rious districts in the vicinity of Canton, in order to se cure the prompt payment and immediate transmission to Canton of fresh contribution,. "The Prefect of Canton reported that the Wan-ming gate the south fac e (on of the o ld c ity) h a d b een again opened and placed in the charge of an officer and guard. "His Excellency Shwang, the Tartar lieutenant-gene ral of the right division (of the garrison), had au inter view with the Viceroy to request his assistance in pro curing for the use of the naval brigade to be attached to the Tartar force 1,200 jackets of cow-hide and 800 fo reign muskets. The head committee for supplies of war were directed to arrange tor thepurchaseof these articles, the cost, a mounting to upwards of 7,000 teals, being defrayed by the Tartar comnaander-in-chief. " August 23. " Reports were received to-day from the West (of the Prov i nce ). It appears that, although the rebels of Tih hing an d Fungchuen have fallen hack, Woochow is suf fering severely from the long siege, and is now without provisi • 'ono In the middle of the sixth month (beginning of 'August) a tad (or ounce) of silver could only purchase 10 ounces of rice, and both soldiers and people were d y i ng in great numbers. This slender supply of grain is now exhau ted, and hides, offal, birds, rats, and other vermin are eagerly sought after as food. The sufferings of the survivors cannot be deserib AL They make the most urgent appeals for assistance or relief of any kind, and the Viceroy has called upon the d,fferent tradesmen and shopkeepers to contribute dried meat, dried potatoes nee, cakes, and portable foods of that nature, which are to be conveyed to Woochow as fast as they are received. "A Viceroy's messenger left for Pekin with three memorials from his Excellency Yeh to the Throne, one reporting the remission of six months' taxes to the inha bitants of Siubing, Siuning, Kaouming, and other dis tricts in the vicinity of Shaouhing; another, announcing the arrival of the Governor (Pihkwei) and his resump tion of office; and the other reporticg the recent descent of the rebels upon Shaouhing, th e defeat of the imperial fleet, and the death of Soohai. " August 24. 4 ‘ An officer from the department of Chaou-chow•foo (ix the east of the Province) reported his arriyal at Can• ton as bearer of 65,000 taels, which had been contri buted by the mercantile classes of Chmon-chow The Viceroy directed that the money should be pat.d over to the committee, and that the officer should be ad mitted to an audience to-morrow. "The district magistrate of Shuntik, near the Bogue, reported his arrival with 137,000 taels, .being the amount realised upon the lands and property of rebels, or people in their interest, that had lately been seques tered. The Viceroy directed the delivery of the money to the committee and the admission of the magistrate to an audience to-morrow. " The district magistrate of Nanhai reported the detection of certain frauds in the collection of the sums which the pork-butchers of Canton had been called upon to contribute. The fraud had been committed by the butchers themselves, and the magistrate wee; authorised to proce againstthem for the sums that had been short paid, amounting to 18,000 tee's." In my last letter I ventured to point out that when England assumes the character of champion of all civilised nations she incurs some rather onerous responsibilities. If all are to share in the advantages she claims for herself, she is bound to guarantee to the Chinese that by none shall those advantages be abused. I must recur to this subject, even at the risk of being tedious, for it is a most im portant topic for consideration in anyfuture treaty. Every one who looks at China from the English point of view must now be satisfied that no treaty can be worth the powder that salutes its signature if it do not stipulate that China shall become one of the great family of civilised nations. Foolish people treat children with alternate coaxiugs and floggings, and John Bull, with a certain conceited pity, bas so treated John Chinaman. Treat him as a man, and exact from him the duties of a civilised. man, and you will have no further trouble with him. The port of Niugpo is an example of what a hundred other large cities will be when you have obtained your object of an unrestricted trade up all the great rivers on all the coasts of China. It is what flang:than, Chin-Kiang, and Nankin will be. Your direct trade is only to the immediate district ; the carrying trade will attract Ships from all Euro pean countries. Hamburg sends more ships up the Ningpo river than even England. Every petty nation that has a flag to lend or sell is represented either by its square-rigged ships or by its nonde script lorchas. Sweden and Denmark, and Ham burg and Holland, and Spain and Portugal, are all Christian nations, all have traded, or say they have traded, to Canton, and all have flags under which honest men and scoundrels may equally claim treaty rights. But these nations have no consuls and no men of war to keep the peace. If an English, an American, or a French ship comes to Ningpo, she must pay her tonnage dues and get her grand chop before she can clear out. If an armed Ham burg ship comes up the river she does as she pleases, —that is to say, she pays no tonnage dues, to the obvious disadvantage of the ships of the great Powers. T n other day tire Europeans boarded a Chinese junk in that river, and, under pretence of being ollic.ers entitled to see her papers, plundered her of all the silver sue had on board. Complaint was made. One of the pirates was found to be an English subject—one Murphy—he was tried before the Consul and sentenced to two years' imprison ment. Several of the others were Europeans, subjects of nations represented by no authorities here ; there was no power to t'iuch them. This is a difficulty which must be met if we would not " open up China" t o all the outlaws of Europe ' • but it is not insurmountable. Let it be part of the treaty stipulation that no nation shall claim the advantages of a treaty power except under con ditions. Let one of those conditions be, that when that nation is unrepresented at any port the two senior Consuls, or the English, French, and Arne can Consuls, or the Consuls chosen by the other resident Consuls for that purpose, shall have the consular power over the subjects of the nation. I believe that to render the remedy perfect you must go still further, and provide that the resident con suls shall assist each other with any force at their command in order to preserve order and enforce the provisions of the treaty. The time is not far distant when commerce will teach China how to defend herself. I noted these facts at Niugpo in sight of an armed commercial steamer and four large ship-rigged vessels, all owned by merchants of Ningpo who wear tails and carry fans. At present, however, Chinese Mandarins in this peaceful No& dread all hostile contact with Europeans who are not Portuguese, and it is rather our policy to cherish this feeling. The case. of Tobin, the man who went up the country to collect " convoy money," or, in plain English, to rob with violence, is another embarrass ment. The man is dead, and the circumstances are, it appears, worse than they were at first reported. When he had, either in anger or by mischance, shot one of his Chinese comrades, the villagers seized him and lashed his arms and legs to a bamboo pole, passed up his back. The poor wretch's torments must have been fearful. He could not lie, he could not sit ; the thongs were eating through his flesh, and his wounds were fes tering in the sun. , A little boiled rice was daily put into his mouth, and that was all. Six days he endured thi'. On the 7th be was taken to D . Parker's hospital, his wrists, and legs, and back, all covered with sloughing sores. He had been tor tured to death, and he d ed. Now, this is the meet important fact that has occurred since the late war. The affair of the Arrow is as nothing compared with it. It is the murder of a British subject. There is ito reason to regret that this wretched ruffian has ceased to live ; but we must recollect that he was tortured to death not because he was a robber, but because one of his own fellow-ruffians was slain. The conduct of the villagers was in direct contravention of the treaty, and the precedent, if allowed, will apply to any Englishman whomay accidentally violateChinere law while in pursuit of peaceful avocations. I have no doubt that Mr. Meadows will deal with this matter with the temper and firmness it requires. The elder of the village must be made accountable for this English (or rather Irish) life as he would have been accountable for a Chinese life, and the reparation should be very public. Otherwise any treaty will be a dead letter. To-day the victim is a worthless outlaw ; next year the victim's name may be Jardine, or Dent, or Beale, or Gibb, or Fletcher. As I thought the English public may like to know what preparations the Chinese are making in the neighbourhood of Ningpo, and what probability there is of a repetition of the occurrences of the last war, I determined to spend a few days in a survey of the scenes of our most important conflicts. I believe that John Bull will be utterly disap pointed of anything like a fight. Ningpo itself is defended along the whole extent of its walls by two guns, whose explosion would be terrific and cause immediate destruction to all who should ap proach—to fire them. It is said there are a thou sand soldiers in the city, and the assertion is very probable. But the Chinese, who invented every thing, invented that system of purchase which is the ornament and safeguard of our military system. They carry out the principle further than we have yet done. In China a soldier receives a certain modicum of cash and rice, amounting perhaps to 6d. a-day, he attends parade now and then when called upon, and he works at his trade at all other times. This is an advantageous position, and the Mandarins take care he shall not get it for nothing. From 15 to 30 dollars, according t' the demand, is the price paid for his commission by a private in the Chinese army. Some time since some tall strong Shantung fellows who were out of employ wished to enlist. Their offer was laughed at, and some old men and cripples whose friends wished to provide for them in the army of the Empire were duly regis tered. I believe that if at any moment Commander Dew were to land his 17 marines and proceed to the Toutai's Yemen, and were to tell him that his Sovereign had resolved to annex Ningpo and the surrounding plain, and that Mr. Consul Meadows now reigned as Toutai, the old gentleman would simply protest that such conduct was " most un reasonable" and. would be led away like a lamb. As to the people, they are so worn out with con tinual " squeezes" that a judicious proclamation would quite reconcile them to the change. USAN HARBOUR, SEPT. 9. On the 6th of Sept., in a boat with two ears and two eyes, a foresail and mainsail kept taut by bam boo sticks worked into them, and a comfortable cabiu, built as a hurricane-house, and occupying nearly all her length, I started with a strong, ad verse wind for Chusan. The Rosina is partly used as a passage boat, partly to carry information, but chiefly to carry " drug"—the commercial name for opium. She belongs to an eminent commercial house, is navigated by one European and a Chinese crew, has a good store of Minie rifles, always fit for service, is a good sea boat, a fast sailer, and the type of a numerous class. Everybody of any im portance has one of these Ningpo boats. It would take more space than I dare occupy to describe the 10 miles of the river Yung. The simple, yet effective ice-houses, and the no less simply con. structed salt stores which occupy the right bank ; the wood junks, each in its separate mud dock (so closely packed that there is not room for another), which line the left bank ; the " frowning," batteries which are built at the end of every reachwalldeserve description. I can only pause, however, to say a word about the batteries. They are built of stone, and some of them have very powerful guns, but the wonder is that their armament has not long ago been stolen by the pirates and convoy lorchas. I have visited them all in different excursions down the river. There is tie guard-house, no magazine, no sponge-rammer or worm; the iron guns and the stone walls make up the battery. A naval officer who accomponied me in one of my wanderings was pesitively distressed at the forlorn condition of an English-cast 32-pounder 13 feet long, and weighing 4 tons, so mounted that a charge of a pound of pow der would have thrown it from its rotten carriage. I believe he would have provided the poor gun with a decent carriage at his own expense, even it he knew that he must meet its fire next day, so indig nant was he that a good gun should be so shame fully treated. At the mouth of the Yung we come to the city of Chinghai with its enormous fleet of junks which crowd the river, and its extensive artificial sea beach of hewn granite. Here arc those extraordi nary natural fortifications which the Chinese at tempted to utilise in the last war, and this was the scene ofthemosttremendousslaughterthat occurred. The mouth of the Yung is beset by rocky islets and sunken shoals, which make the approach difficult and the channels intricate. Each shore is com manded by a high conical hill. That on the left is surmounted by a stone tower, that on the right by a fort and a josshouse. On a former occasion I passed a night and two days in that Pagan temple. I slept, wrapped in my cloak, at the feet of a ter rible Indian god. All night long the Abbot in his mitre sat upon his throne turning his back upon a gigantic idol of " the Queen of Heaven," and his priests sat round the table before him. A thou sand little dishes, each containing some article of vegetable food curiously cooked, preserved, or made into sweetmeats, covered not only the table, but other temporary scaffoldings erected for the pur pose throughout the temple. It was a great cere mony, with a highly emblematical ritual. The prayer was evidently for a favourable harvest, for every fruit was taken up and blessed and chanted over. The picturesque scene, the monotonous mut terings, and perhaps also the mosquitos kept me awake till past midnight. When I awoke iu the morning the sun was invadiug my corridor, and priests, aid food, and scaffoldings, and tables had all vanished. But the old Indian god scowled upon us as ridiculously fierce as ever. Alas ! his divine scowl had nut scared away the musquitoes. From the embrasures on the top of this Joss house Fort I could look down upon the scene of flat terrible carnage, when in the last war the Chinese army of ten thousand men were routed in ten minutes, when the flying multitude was arrested by a line of bayonets, and when before the slaughter could be stayed one-half the number either perished by the steel or were forced into the broad river. This lesson, repeated at Ningpo, and again on the hills beyond, has never been forgotten. In the Josshouse-fort there is one gun, mounted, probably as an alarm gun. There is another sunk half-way in the earth, with a British spike in it. These are the defences of the mouth of the Yung. At four o'clock in the morning we were tacking through the islands ; at 10 we cast anchor in the harbour of Chusan. re are accustomed in England to think of Qhusan as a fine, large island, open to the Chinese seas, where you may see the sun, with purple-coloured face, lift up his head from the dis tant waters. So upon its eastern side it probably is ; not so as wo are in the habit of approaching it. The harbour of Tinghai is a land-locked strait, about three-quarters of a mile across—not unlike the Menai in some places. You might be in a mode rate sized river ; you have come in through a labyrinth of narrow channels, and you see no evi deuce of an open sea. Many a city upon a Chinese river looks more like a seaport than this famous port and harbour of Tinghai. Nothing can be more picturesque to look upon than the mountains and valleys of this fair island, which now occupies all scope of view upon our left. Gradual elevatons, clothed with small hamlets and many-coloured vegetation, swell from the strait . , affording charming sites far barracks and hospitals and head-quarter houses. Away behind the in terior hills rise into peaks on which the clouds are resting. Narrow gorges and deep valleys run far up inland, offering shady retreats in hot summer mouths and fertile fields in every season. The least pleasant is the flat on which the city stands. Opposite to the spot where we east anchor the hills retire from the strait and form au amphi theatre. The interval between their base and the water is a semicircle. Let the hills represent the arc of a strung bow and the strait represent the string. The area between is the swampy marsh upon which the city of Tinghai stands, surrounded by paddy-fields and racist grounds. Just at that point of the string where the archer would fix the notch of his arrow there is a hill which nature seems to have placed there to commandand protect the strait. Such is the natural site of the land at the port of Chusan. Along the shore of the strait, to the full extent of the string of our bow, runs a green em bankment. You would think it a dam thrown up as a protection against high tides, but that at regu lar intervals embrasures are left. The hill which stands in the centre of the chord of our arc has been fort ified with walli and parapets of stone masonry ; and it is still surmounted by that same Josshouse which 17 year+ ago obtained for it the name of Joss house Hill. There aro stone batteries also upon several of the islets ; all the narrow channels are thus commanded, and there is a large battery far up the valley. Except that the harbour contains, instead of a Mandarin fleet, Some 60 small trading junks, the place must now look much as it did wheu our fleet first sailed in—when the Chinese Admiral so feel ingly expostulated with us upon the injustice of revenging insults put upon us by the Cantonese by slaughtering the defenders of those weak intrench ments—when the old man, with a dignity and cou rage worthy of a better fate, acknowledged thatour power was too great to allow him to hope for suc cess, but declaring that his orders and his duty en joined him to die at his post, went smiling down the side of our flagship, resigned to meet the doom which too surely awaited him in its most painful form on the morrow. It I recall the memory of these painful scenes it is to protest against their recurrence. If tbe.e places are to be again occupied let it be done sud denly, before any peremptory orders for a desperate defence can arrive from Pekin. Not that Tinghai is, under proper conditions, incapable of defence. Garrisoned by English troops, it is difficult to con ceive a place more- impregnable. Approached by narrow rock-bound channels, covered by command ing heights, and having its own citadel hill, it is formed for a place of strength ; but the Chinese at Chusan seem to have learned only one lesion from the last war—the inutility of all defences. Yes : I think they have learnt outs other lessor* ; it is that British dollars follow hard upon British bayonets. I landed and walked along the embank ment ; there was not a gun. I climbed the Joss house Hill. The masses of masonry that look so imposing from below are all loose blocks which a shot would topple over ; still no gun. In the Joss house was an old priest muttering and beating upon his little drum, another smoking his pipe, and a third asleep. A. half-starved dog seemed perishing under the same vice of idleness which per vades the place. His diet in a Buddhist temple could not be very succulent, and his akin was worn raw from lying all day long upon the stone floor. Sloth had eaten into his bones. Two or three Chinamen, sailors from the junks, were venting their " Ey yaw," as they examiued the representa tions of the punishments of the Buddhist Hell. Not without reason, for the Joss-house of Tinghai is richer than any temple I have seen in ingenious tor tures. The kings of Hell it in judgment like Chinese mandarins. The executioners are braying the victims in mortars, boiling them in furnaces, skinning them with knives, throwing them to tigers, squeezing them between boards. cutting them up and hanging the bits on hooks, beating them with mallets, tormenting them with hot irons—all re presented in coloured plaster groups with a horrible fidelity of detail, and with an ingenuity of concep tion as to the instruments employed, which would argue that the Buddhist priests are no contemptible mechanics, and that it is well for the barbarians they are not employed in the invention of warlike to not even the dog, took any no ti ce o f me. r; No e n one, t ar a. I looked from the top of the hill down into the city of Tinghai—into the suburb which extends from it up to the water side—upon the pagoda and the Artillery-hill—and upon the English tombs which cover the descent of the hill upon which I was standing. Everything t t hin Everything had he sa g was me listless, and paddy. , unprepared, care - abandoned air. There was not agu visible froth the spot, not a muzzle lurking behind any one of the hundred of embrasures which I could count around. A. few junks were working up the canal or river which runs from the harbour up to the city, and some others were unloading Joss house furniture upon the wharf below me. I had heard men of the last war talk of gravel walks and the coast. If we have to police the Chinc”e wast, or to hold power in the great inland waters, we must have a large naval depot, and that can be no other than the harbour of Tinghai. It will, how ever, be a naval depot and no more. Not only past experience, but also all a priori reasoning shows that Chusan can never become a place of great commerce. I had seen enough—enough, at least, for one day. It was raining a drizzling rain and blowing hard. I was racked with rheumatism, and tortured by that horrid gpestileuce which no one can escape, for they are the blossoms of this flowery land--an eruption cf boi;s. I sent into the city for Coolies and a chair to penetrate a little into the interior on the morrow, and I returned on board. The Rosina lay just abreast of a long low building of Eutopean or rather of Anglo-Indian build-11 windows and a verandah. Part of it is now used as a Custom-houso, and the rest is dirt and desola tion. This was the British hospital. The man who chose that site is guilty of many of the deaths re cor led_ in that r- `eye ' 2 . and many of those upon the Cameronian.lllll: ThEre are hills and cal- leys close around when: at small labour you might make a little E len. If you must be near the dirty town and the Chinese samshoo—whicb, of all Chi nese inventions, is the most deadly to the English soldier—there is the Josahouse-hUI. The British hospital is placed upon a level with the swamp, in full reek of the paddy-fields, within the circuit of the stench of that filthy suburb, and in a spot where samshoo can be conveniently handed in through every window, yet we wonder in England that Cliu san was found unhealthy. I bad full opportunity of contetnplating this place. No sooner had I got on board than the breeze be came a gale and the misty rain a driving storm. Then rose the tempest—a tempest such as the China Seas only can show. It lasted all night, and the next day and the next. During a momentary pause we saw through one of the narrow islet channels a large screw steamer carrying her funnel abaft her mainmast, struggling down under the mainland. Some one has since sail it was the Durance French transport, and that she grounded on the height of the Typhoon. The Shanghai Shipping . List afterwards repeated this latter report. It may be so, but I doubt it. I believe it was the same at earner I saw two days later in company with the Capricieuse frigate off Lookong. She might be the Durance, but we did not make her out to be aground or any otherwise in "durance vile." What ever she was, however, she passed like a spirit on this hurricane. Outside the typhoon was sweeping the seas and ravaging the coasts. It drove the light ship at the mouth of the Yang.tse-Kiang from her moorings, it strewed the junks about iu pieces of floating wreck, it broke dow n walls, it cast away a three-masted English ship, and lifted a schooner over the sand of the south bank and deposited her in the paddy-fields. It dammed up the waters of Wang-poo and the Yung, and hero in this bay of Chusan it put junks adrift and bands of wreckers upon the alert. The Rosins had ground tackle made for such emergencies. She drifted at first, but her second anchor brought her up. We were fortunately in the best harbour on the coast of China. After this experience I have a right to speak well of the harbour of Chusan. On the night of the third day we sailed forth with a moderate wind and a bright moonlight. SHANGHAI, SEPT. 20. Since the Remi started with the mail and my des patch we have the setni-monthlyfrorn England with dates to the 28th of July. Messrs. Jardine's house, in their usual grand seigneur way of doing things, despatch a fast private steamer to overtake the mail or perhaps outstrip it. So I have an oppor tunity for more last words. I have nothing to chronicle, however, except the blank disappointment of all the English residents at the newsjust received. Delhi not fallen and Lord Palmerston's Pekin monomania strong upon him. We had hoped that Lord Elgin, sharing, as we all believe he does, the universal feeling here, would have obtained leave to allow the Russians and the French to go up and each get his kick at the mouth of the Peiho, while he stayed south and took Can ton. The Russian has got over his twenty drys' naval koo too. The Frenchman comes on very leisurely to take his turn of humiliation. Lord. Elgin may now, I suppose, be expegted.in ab o ut a. fortnight. He also, with the navy of England, must dance attendance in a sea of winter tempests while the petty Mandarin at the mouth of the Pekin river is calculating how long he can keep up the ex hibition of the humiliation of the " bat barians." Oh ! that net row blue riband of the Foreign-office. It is harder, and toughtr, and stiffer than the red tape of the Circumlocution-office ; it swathes the energies of nations, while the rail tape only cripples a clerk. Tho Emperor has just taken pains , by an. announcement in the Pekin Gazette, to et the world know that he is informed of and approves Yeti's doings at Canton. France and Russia have no casus Belli—they have no factories destroyed, no steamers taken and burnt, no proclamations of head-money to resent. They have their quarrel to seek, and they go up, therefore, and offer their faces to the miter., We are in the position of that valorous individual who said, " Sir, you have tweaked my nose, you have kicked me behind, you have knocked my hat over my eyes ! Take care, sir ; you may go too far ; you may rouse the sleep ing lion !" Oh, for one three months of the elder Pitt He would have klegraphed—" Take Can ton and hold it with your present fares." And it would have been done ; for, although the authori ties here are afraid of "her Majesty's Opposition," they are not afraid of Chinamen. With Canton taken, and some gunboats at Tien-sing, we might write our own treaty and have it signed in three months. But no'; years, and millions, and perhaps fleets, certainly human lives, must be sacrificed to the pedantry of diplomacy. Somehow or other those six black rams who are reputed to ba the genii of Canton city seem to have obtained seats in our House of Commons. Then we are told that sailing ships can carry troops faster than steamships, and, judging from the choice made, we are also to believe that re gular old water-bruisers with indifferent antece dents are better than good screw vessels. I find that some people hero know, or profess to know, something about these ships—what one of them was solefor, and how many times that amount her charter to China will bring, what happened to another of them, and so on. However, let us hope that they will bring us our 1,500 ma ines out in time to eat their Christmas dinner n Canton. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.
