In elle tORDON STOCK EXCHANGE to-day the funds remained flat, under the influence of the news from China, which causes a large expen penditure to be looked for. Consols Were very dull at the reduction which took place .yesterday. British Railway Shares Were dill 'hna ihatetiVe till near the close s when they ddenlytteclined, closing weak. London Mirth-Western Stock, how ever, tot tintted in active demand. Canadas and. Anieritan were flatter. It was rumoured that a special court of Bank Directors was called to-day to arrange for the issue of the Indian Loan. The Market closed at the following prices a quiet position, business generally having'. proved limited.; the principal variation was an advance. of nearly 1 per cent. in London and North-Western shares, but this was barely supported at the close. Midland, Lancashire and Yorkshire, and North-Eastern, were rather lower, sales having augmentod.—Times City Article.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1860. NEWS OF THE DAY. The mat with the Chinese despatches has not yet •attimi, bat the letters and papdrs are expected to be delivered in London td-morrow. The Timm, as might be supposed, expresses itsdf strongly regarding the con duct of the Chinese With respect to the seizure of Mr. .parts and the other prisoners. In a leader in pester hys paper, the following observations are introduced, which will meet with more than a:partial echo in the feelings of large numbers of the people not only of England but of Frame :—" With the dark traditions of the prisons of Canton still in out Memory, it We featS, hetOssaty to say *hat in other cases We might expect might be felt without 'oar saying it,—that, dead or alive, those missing men must be produced. Eternal infamy would cling to the Ambassadors, the Generals, and the armies who should come back from Pekin without being able to prove to the world by the palpable evidence of sense that they have not left these men behind in the cruel clutches of the Chinese. If the sack of the Emperor's Palace has produced the restoration of Mr. Parkes and Mr. Loth and M. L'Eschayrac and our thirteen soldiers the Chinese will answer only to such persuasives o let us administer them day by day and hour by hour, as lung as necessary, and, if there be no milder means Of coercion, even destroy Pekin, palace by palace and temple by temple, and even house by house, until we obtain the release of Mir tonntryniert, or absolute proof that they are litybild hitniaii aid. this is hot a matter on which the sound-hearted English people will endure any maudlin sentiment, and we hope that no such unmanly tone will steal into either the despatches of the Government or the action of Lord Elgin." We are happy to think, howeVer, that though the hope is small indeed Of Captain Brabaion and Mr. Boullaf being reCoVered alive, the chances are riot yet tpiite desperate. The actual state of the fact will probably not - be known in this country until the arrival of the next mail after that which is now expected: Meanwhile, we fully share the proValent opinion as to the allies having met with little real resistance in the operations which terminated in the surrender of the capital: Fikre years agb, anal:ling to an official docu ment reprinted by Mr. Scarth, whose account of China and the Chinese has acquired extraordinary interest, Owing to the recent events, the city was in a most " perilous state." The rebels were within seventy miles of the capital. The official writer ) whose report appeared by mistake in the Gazette, describes) with doleful earnest ness, "the Want of military preparation for the defence of the capital, and the distressed condition to which the inhabitants were reduced." The civic guards and trained bands, elsewhere alluded to ) forming the garrison of Pekin, existed "chiefly in name ;" all they were good for, he said, Was I, just to catch a few paltry thieves." But the condition of the people was worse. Since 1853, says the official document, the rich had been inventing excuses to go away, and he calculates that in three years no fewer than 30,000 rich families had removed from Pekin. The applicants for the cotton-wadded garments, annually distributed to the poor in winter, had increased in 18.55, and the cause of the increase was the Night of the rich, and the consequent diminution of' employMent for the poor. The Board of Revenue determined :to levy a tax on house rents, but when they came to col lect it they found the owners tendering their empty houses in: payment, saying they found it difficult ,to procure food and 'clothing, and therefore had no money to pay the tax:. 06 This is. the ease in every quarter of the city," he asserts, and condemns the levy of the extra ordinary tax as impolitiC. 'FiVe•years have elapsed since this was written. If it were true at the end of 1855, Why should it not approximate to the truth in 1860 ? and if ice; there is an cud, at all events, of the present dynasty. It will have lasted not more than 200 years, and its easy extinction must in the circumstances be con sidered as due to the superior fighting of the allies, to the Armstrong gun, and also to the disorganisation of the Chinese army, caused mainly by the rebellion, M. de Persigny has been as good as his word, so far as regards previous offenders against the Press laws, An Imperial decree cancelling the government notices and subsequent suspensions given to the different journals u p to its date, was yesterday published in the Afeniteur. It is prefaced, however, by a very significant hint to " French journalist s, " that if, after such an " act of clemency," a ny of them "attack the State," they will be treated with greater severity than ever. The reforms embraced in the programme of M. Schmerling, the ne w Austrian Mini ster, whose accession to office we yesterday announced, is de scr ib e d as a com plete " revolution." Judging from th e latest accounts of the disturbed c ondition of H ungary and other por tionsof imminent thein any Austrianpossessions, a revolut i on was circumstances. Letters state that the mass of the population of Rome is now suffering great privations, owi ng t o th e hi g h price of bread, and that expedients of all kinds are being adopted by public and private charity to Ripply food for the poor.

We can state, on the most positive authority, that these rumours are without foundation, and that no proposal of such a nature has been made, or even discussed, by , the directors.

TO Tiit RIGHT HON. THE EARL OF SEFTON, LORD LIEUTENANT OF LANCASHIRE. MY LORD, It must afford yob. AO Ordinary pleasure to observe the 'vast numbers of young. men, belonging. to all classes of society, who still continue voluntarily to 'respond to the patriotic cry, '"TO aiths, td ititis!' which still resounds tlirdnghout the length and breadth of the land and nowhere more enthusiastically than in this town. But the most devoted efforts in behalf of the most noble of causes occasionally require guidance and direction from superior wisdom and eXperiencey enforced by a moderate and timed exercise of high authority. At the present time no greater service could be rendered the Volunteer cause than sedulously to watch over the formation of new corps with the view of rooting out or preventing the further dis se • mination of ideas and practices which to the experienced seem calculated seriously to weaken and counteract the practical utility of the organisation. In such an emergency, to whom could the public there appropriately and hopefully address therilsolVeS than , to ship? Your high official position as-the qUEEN's representative in this great count Y—your Paitl services to the Volunteers—your steady zeal for — the development of the force—and yottr constant readiness to do everything required_ or you, officially or personally, on :Its _'behalf, inspire us with confidence that the humblest appeal in - yid i from those engaged in the service, shall be duly considered, and fully warrant us in, believing that in so far as lies within your power and kirisdieL tion, nothing shall be left - undone to secure to our great Volunteer army :the utnicist"attainable. degree of efficiency and consolidation. Your Lordship has, no doubt, observed that one of the most proniin.ent features of the movement in the preSent stage of its progress, is the forma tion of what may be called Class Corps. This idea is, in itself,. unquestionably good, and ought to be 'encouraged. But, like every other good idea, it is liable to be abused or misapplied. In Volunteering, class association is always desirable, except when it runs into military isolation. Un fortunately some such tendency has recently been manifested in connection with this phase of the movement. This mistaken course may be so far explained by taking into consideration the feeling of exclusiveness which is apt to spring up, and, be :eheriSbed anloug those who consti tute the members, of any particular profession, business, or. trade, There is also, unhappily, a degree of jealousy ,found to exist between those of different occupations which to some extent repels class from class, and so far tends to pre vent their mutual co-operation. Every section of trade is ambitions of forming a separate and in dependent corps for itself—that it may if possible outvie all other corps by' some distinctive feature, and rejoice in the honour of as many commissioned and non-commissioned officers as possible chosen from behind its own desks, counters, and workbenches. We have already had somewhat too much of this; and we rejoice to know that your Lordship's views are inclined to oppose the formation of independent corps until the strength of the existing battalions is ren dered more complete. We sincerely hope that your Lordship will be induced to adhere to this opinion, and unhesitatingly to act in accordance with it in the event of any proposition being laid before you for the formation of new corps. By all means let us have Class Corps ; but for the future let it be understood that they must be formed under the auspices of, and with a view to being consolidated with, some existing battalion, The number of Volunteer Battalions already formed, or in course of formation, in this town is amply sufficient to absorb all who have yet come forward to be enrolled in the ranks. They are, moreover, sufficiently varied in uni form and administrative arrangements to meet the reasonable wants and wishes of all who are likely to volunteer for some consi derable time to come. Indeed, it may be fairly made a matter of question whether it might not be of advantage to the efficiency of the force to bring about,if Possible, a d ec id e d measure o f con soiidationa m ong the existing corps. Be this as it may, it is certain that some more active effort is required to fill up the ranks of our battalions, so that we may have a really powerful organisation, instead of a number of comparatively lifeless skeletons. How can this desirable object be accom plished unless it be laid down as an absolute rule that your Lordship will not sanction the forma tion of any new corps until the strength of those already formed has been raised to the proper standard ? We take the liberty of directing your Lord ship's attention to the fact that at the present moment active steps are being taken for the establishment of separate corps for the Civil Service, Brokers' Clerks, Tailors, Watchmakers, Members of the Philharmonic Society, kilted Scotehmen ; for those desiring the distinctive title of " Guards," and for the inhabitants of particular distriCts; such as Kirkdale, Bootle, Great George Ward, &c., withoUt having made arrangements kir joining any battalion. We beg to be Understood as meaning no disrespect for the parties promoting these corps. On the contrary, we applaud their motives and their object, and would encourage them to proceed with their efforts, except only in so far as they may contemplate isolating themselves from all existing corps. As distinct companies of a consolidated battalion ; with Captains, Lieu tenants; and Ensigns of their own election, and With Knife little distinctive Badges=say oil the crossbelts—to mark the trades or occupations o f the several companies, they may enjoy every reasonable privilege and honour appertaining to their exclusive combinations. True patriotism in connection iritli this niovenietit t;onsists in the sacrifice of individual and sectional feelings and interests, wherever these would interfere with the general efficiency and completeness of the force. We hail with satisfaction, and so must your Lordship, the cheering indications of an ardent desire on the part of all classes of trades- Men Aria Artisails, to girci lip their loins and buckle on "belt and badge and pointed steel" in defence of Queen and country; brit in justice to their noble efforts; We respectfully submit that it behoVes your Lordship to inform them that their services, under present circumstances, can only be made available by ioining a, COnsolidated bat . ' talion. Thus, without any undue sacrifice of their individuality, they may become a Most impotaiit and ldable addition to the already glorious army el' itoltinteers. To Act this good purpose no more is necessary than that your Lordship should officially issue an immediate order to the effect that all Volunteer bodies now in course of formation in this town ; without the sanetioti and direction of your Lordship; or of the Coiiiiiianding : offieer of some of the existing and with a view to joining some of the previously established battalions, shall be forthwith dis banded. In thus publicly urging these views upon your Lordship's attention, let it not for a moment be supposed that we presume to illuminate yottr Lordship as to your duty to the Volunteers of LiVeilhol; neither do We lay Claim to the honour of Propothiding any neW or startling ideas. We belie've that We have so far eipressed the opinions already entertained by your Lordship, and by the vast majority of all sincere friends of this self deferisive movement in Liverpool. Our Only object in his addressing you is to enlighten those indiscreet friends whose inexperience may have permitted them to be led astray; an 4 to assure your Lordship that in nobly and un dauntedly following out the practical course we have indicated, and of which We have every reason to believe you wholly approve, you will carry with you the applause and gratitUde of the general public; and o f f all Who are capable of forming a sound and impartial judgment as to the immediate requirements of the patriotic- Volunteer organisation. I have the honour to be, my Lord, Your lordship's obedient servant, `flit EDITOR: FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, 11th Dec., 1860. The persuasion is becoming more and more general that the further progress of the reform movement has been entirely arrested. It is still said that the legislation on the subject of the Press will be reformed so far as concerns that regulation which extinguishes every journal which has undergone two sentences of condemna tion, and which has already itself been condemned by public opinion, but I am disposed now to think, that the Mutant for this modification has not yet arrived. It is, however almost certain that in a very short time, a decree of amnesty will be issued for all previous offences of this kind against the law, the effect of which will be literally to save from absolute extinction several papers, and among others, the Courier de la Girandeg which is on the very eve of perishing, owing to the operation of this blind proscription Of which I have just spoken. It is also proposed, in Order t to meet the objections of those papers which dread the obligation imposed by the recent dectee relative to the reporting of the debates in theiChambers to report the debates in extols°, to issue a provisional report, more specific than the sunimary referred to in the Decree, of which the public papers will be at liberty to make use in the case of those of the sittings whose pro ceedings do not offer matter of particular interest. They will reserve the honours of publicity on a more extended scale for those debates which most excite public curiosity ; but what appears not likely to be authorised in any instance is the varying of the official report, whether it be long or short, or the publication in an isolated form of the speeches or fragments of the proceedings, to suit the special convenience of any particular journal. _ _ _ Some particulars have transpired of the very gracious visit which the Emperor paid to M. Fould, on Sunday. On entering the Ex-Minister's apartment, his Majesty accosted him with " I must come to see you, since you will not come to see me." The interview had reference almost entirely to the question of the Emperor's general policy. His Majesty was accompanied by M. Castelnau, his orderly officer. In order to recompense M. Billault for the great services rendered by him to the Government of the Emperor, his Majesty has purchased, at the price of 600,000 francs, the Hotel Soltykin, in the Rue Saint Arnaud, and made his Ex- Minister a present of it. M. Magne is also to have another Hotel, situated in the Rue de Magnan, in the Ohamps-Elysees. M. Walewski had previously received from the Emperor a house for a residence in the same neighbourhood. It is one of six or eight houses which are to form a new street, the owners of each house being selected by the Emperor. The building rage continues to wax furious in this quarter. A company is eagerly soliciting the building of the new boulevard, which, commencing at the Rue de rEchelle, will end at the Rue de 1T aix. The Courier of Cremona publishes the following curious memorandum, signed by Garibaldi, and addressed to one of his oldest companions in arms I give to my friend Gaspard Trechi, lieutenant-colonel commanding at my head-quarters, and my aide-de-camp in the campaigns in Lombardy, Emilia, Sicily, and the kingdom of Naples, where he valiantly conducted him self, the dagger which for five-and -twenty years I have worn in my belt, both in America and in all my Italian campaigns. G. GARIBALDI. The following particulars of the assassination of a young French gentleman in Naples, are com municated to the Constitutionnel by its Naples correspondent, in a letter dated from that city on the 2nd instant. A horrible act of assassination was committed in the course of the night of Saturday last, on a young French man, who has recently arrived at Naples. On the even ing in question, the unfortunate young man went to the Cafe de l'Ancre d' Or, in a cab. He left some time after, accompanied by three individuals dressed as Gdri baldians. Having got into the cab which was waiting for him, w ith his new companions, he drove to the nearest restauran t ; and after dinner, which lasted a considerable time, the four new friends hired another cab, and directed the driver to take them in the direc tion of the river Chiaia. On arriving at the Largo San Pasquale, one of three personages put his foot out of the vehicle, and touched the coachman's shoulder, ordering him to drive faster ; but the latter, having pointed out to the " rough " who thus addressed him, that the pave was s lippery, and that it was dangerous to comply with his request, he received the same moment a stab with a dagger in the head. The wounded man immediately got down from his seat. His son, who was sitting beside him, did the same ; and the father, frightened out of his wits, and covered with blood, set off in the direction of the Palace of the Count de Syracuse, whilst the little boy, equally terrified, rushed, with loud cries for help, to the guard-house of the Place Garofalo. The National Guard, who were there, instantly repaired to the Largo San Pasquale, but it was toe late ; they found only the dead Frenchman, his chest pierced with seven stabs with a poignard. The assassins had had time to make off, and no trace of them has yet been found. On the body of the young man there were found two Napoleons, an equal amount in silver, a watch and gold chain, and some letters of recent date, one of which announced the despatch to him of a sum of considerable amount. The French Consul, on being informed of the murder, satisfied himself of the nationality of the victim: This affords another lamentable proof of the scenes of violence and disorder which at present disgrace . the city of Naples: A strong and united governthent cannot be organikd too soon: Another letter froni 11416; anted the . 411; thus alludes to the disturbances at Caseitii, had rendered it necessary to disband the Gari baldian Volunteers:— The news which we receive from Capua, Santa Maria, and Caserta is more satisfactory. The country is more tranquil. The Government in order to avoid fresh dis turbances, similar to those to which I previously alluded, is hastening to disband the Garibaldians. Yesterday and the day before a vast number of passports were issued ; the men are to be sent to their destinations, and they only wait for vessels to send off the greater part of the volunteers of Garibaldi. We hope that their departure will be follolVed by,trauquillity ;, and yet it must not be dissembled that the discOriteht Terxa ,del Lahore is general. The inhabitants have had for the last thiee months to suffer cruelly from the occupation of tik" undisciplined bands of the Dictator; and it will be wise on the part of Piedmont not to leave this province without the protection of regular troops. Reaction would soon foment insurrection, and it will be absolutely necessary to, send troops there at once. As so often happens ni such cases the inhabi tants suffer as much from the visits of friends as from the attacks of enemies. Rente continues firm, and to show an upward tendency.

The fourth corps Hiao-ky-yng, composed Of thous, Mongols, and of Han-kin, includes an infantry division, a division of cavalry, a brigade of artillery, and the general commissariat of the eight banners. It forms a total of 68,000 men, of whom 3,340 are officers, 36,000 non-commissioned officers and privates, 27,000 juvenile or pupil s o ldi e r s; a nd 2 , 500 sappers an d m i ners. This Corps, - *Mai is the iiioet riunibfdets Of those com prising the eight banners, performs all the administratiie duties of the whole army—maintenance, pay, and rationS of the troops; arms, equipment and munitions of war ; the ordering and general control of the expenses ; and the division of the civil and military services. seldiers who form part of the corps Hi ao -Ky-Y ng are deseribed by the name dr Makia, which signifies " coat of mail,"—in fact, all of them, *liether belong- . ing to the infantry, to the cava lry, th e ar till ery , or t h e commlisariat„ are armed With a coat of mail. The clier 6OniPanies;thOse are with siv?rdii or muskets, carry besides, a large shield coveted with iron plates in the interior, and ornamented on the outside with fantastic figares, destined doubtless to terrify the enemy. The fifth corps, composed of Tartars of the province Tse'-tchuen, and the Chinese of the Forkiew, form the. attacking troops in pitched battles, and are employed in shell services as:assaults. All the men of this corps, to the number of 4;000, are daily exercised in travaux de force and exercises of skill, in whiCh they exhibit great pro fiCiency, They wear a small coat of Mail, a helmet on their heads, and a small yellow jacket trimmed with blue. The only arms they carry are a large sword and a species of halberd terminated by an iron point. The sixth corps, Ho-ki-yng, composed of 8,000 Tartars and Mongols, whose special duties in time of war are the firing of the cannon and the arquebuse, forms two divisions,—the one is set apart for the defence of the capital, and keeps garrison there ; and the other, which is Called the exterior corps, is in cantonments out side the city. The first, armed with arquebuses, which the men tarry in a shOulder belt, perform the duty of the artillery tin the ramparts: The second ; armed solely with a small sword and heaYy artitiebiise, discharge the duties of sharpshooters. The privates Wear an otercoat o f some kind of skin and a metal helmet, and the °leers _ . are armed with a short swan: and bow and arrow. The seventh corps, Pon-kuin-yng, a s ,; . of constabu lary force, consisting of infant r y and cavalry, for m . total of 23,000 men, of whom 575 are officers. This corps, whose elements are recruited from among the Mantchous, the Mongols, and the Chinese soldiers of the banner and the green flag, is under the command of a Mantchou mandarin of the first class, selected from the ministers of the Emperor. Its duty is to watch over public order and the general safety, to act as the police of the Imperial city, as guards at the gates, inspectors of the streets, the barriers, and the drawbridges. Every time that the Emperor goes out, a portion of his escort is furnished by this corps, which accompanies him wherever he goes. These Pou-kuin have to see that the " sumptuary " laws are put in force in all that concerns the palanquins and the colour of their hangings, the keeping clear of the public highways, the cleaning of the streets, the stalls of the shops allowed on the public thoroughfares, and the special police of the Imperial Palace. The eighth corps, composed of 6,000 Tartars, Mongols, and Chinese Yuen-ming-yuen-yng, shares with the preceding corps the service of going the rounds, and the patrols, and is formed of several companies of footmen and horsemen, one of which is armed with bows, another with swords, another with muskets, and a fourth with the halberd. These troops wear a cuirass, and red and white jackets. The ninth corps, Bing-si-yng, charged with the external defence of the Imperial province, forms a total of 18,000 men. Lastly, the tenth corps, Ling-tsin-yng, the guards of the Mausoleums, composed of 1,200 men, are charged with the special protection of the Mausoleums, the number of which, in the Imperial Province, amounts to seventeen. The troops of the Eight Banners scattered throughout the different gatTisous of the provinces of the Chinese Empire, and which come into the Tche-li only on the special order of the Emperor, are thus designated : Officers.

Further, every year, the Emperor appoints a mandarin of the highest order to inspect the different corps of the army disseminated throughout the provinces. These mandarins exercise the same functions as those of the Divisional Inspector-General with us ; but they are likewise subject to a degree of responsibility which, in difficult circumstances, entails the punish ment of death. This excess of responsibility, a veri table sword of Damocles, constantly suspended over the mandarin inspector, is, beyond a doubt, one of the causes which, since 1840, have produced all the embarrassments, all the conflicts, and all the wars which have occurred between the European Govern ments and the Chinese Emperor, in consequence of the complete disguisal of the truth to which these mandarins have recourse. It is in presence of these officials that the examination for degrees of bachelor licentiates, doctors of letters, which confer respective degrees of military rank, take place ; it is in their presence, also, that the exercises and evolutions of the troops of the Chinese army are made. These exercises, as regards the infantry, consist of firing ball, shooting arrows, handling the s a b re , b en di ng the bo w , a n& raising weights of a certain heaviness ; and the cavalry are exercised in handling the sabre and lance, firing ball and arrows at full gallop, lifting with the point of the sabre or the lance, objects staked in the ground, leaping from one horse to another, and, in short, per forming on horseback all possible feats. As for the officers there is no special study required as in Europe. The wants of the service, vacancies in the ranks, and literary advancement alone decide the mili tary appointments ; so that it is sufficient to obtain a literary title to be considered as fit to fill any rank what ever in any division of the army. In other respects, the composition of the body of officers is most deplorable ; and there can be no doubt this fact is one of the most serious causes of the weakness of the Chinese army.
