THE CHNESE WAR.

The China telegrams received in the city yes-
terday, via Trieste, were few and meagre. They
state that an early submission, on the part of the
Imperial Court, was expected.
The Times trusts the 'telegram has brought
false.news, and that Lord Elgin Is not going to
Pekin wlthotir. his array, as that is exactly the
aposite Of Whitt he do to obtain a per-
nent pease.. ith China; Nothing more is

England has an arm long enough to' rata. her;
and to chastise any breach of faith. So long as
the Emperor believes his capital to be out of
reach, so long will he care little what treaties he
may sign to remove any immediate pressure.
Now what is going to happen. News that the
Tartar army has marched forthwith in triumph
from the southern parts is already spread far and
wide through the streets of Pekin. It is doubt-
leis added the garhurians have made their sub-
mission, arid that theSe are all coming an to bring
tribute to 'the Emperor. this, o't .6ertainty
nothing better than this, is the impression which
Lord Elgin, with his escort of cavalry, will pror
duce at Pekin. The Emperor cannot make
important concession to a people whom he pre-
tends to have overcome in arms, and whose
ambassadors he has exhibited to his people as
bearing tribute and submission., The Times
hopes, therefore, that the ambassadors, with the
magnificent army which they have at their com-
mandi will make their appearance at Pekin,
accontanieci by a force sufficient to make such
an impression on the Imperial mind as to render
any Chinese expeditions unnecessary for many
years to come.
The rate of exchange, both at Hong Kong and
Shanghai, had.become rather more favourable for
this country, a decline having taken place. The
derriand for shirtings was very dull at Shanghai
and brisk at Banton, and the settlements of silk
anlounted to 8,000 bales.

Portions of the wreck have been discovered of the four
missing steamers lost in the Baltic.
The Times is still without any comments on the French
intervention at Gaeta. The Paris journals have not yet
adverted to the subject.
A Naples letter of the 27th ult. says that next day
Gavazzi was to preach his first sermon in the principal
church of the Jesuits.
M. Szeme, who has expressed in the Paris journals a
favourable opinion of the new Hungarian constitution,
was formerly Minister of the Interior under Kossuth.
General Klapka has protested against this opinion.

THE FOUR MISSING STEAMERS.

DISCOVERY OF PORTIONS OF THE WRECKS
No doubt is now entertained respecting the melan-
choly fate of the four steamers which have long been
missing, namely, the Edinburgh iron screw steamer, 800
tons, belonging to Leith, outward bound to Cronstadt ;
the Moscow, also an iron screw steamer, 600 tons, of
London, bound to the same port; the Vispount Lambton,
steamer, belonging to Sunderland ; and the Thor, from
Copenhagen, for Hull. It will be remembered they
started a day or two prior to the outbreak of the ter-
rible storm which swept the North Sea and Baltic on the
3rd, 4th, sth, and 6th of October, when so many vessels
were wrecked. With the exception of the Moscow,
nothing has been heard of them from the period of their
sailing, and from quantities of wreckage and cotton that
have been met with in the North Sea, it is inferred that
the whole of the ships in question must have foundered
during the fearful hurricane, and every soul belonging
to them met with a watery grave. The Edinburgh was
a superior class iron ship, being rated in Lloyds's Re-
gister A 1 for 12 years. Her crew consisted of Capt.
Steel and 27 officers and men. Like the Arctic steamer,
which was lost in the course of thg storm, she was bur-
dened with a dangerous deck load at this advanced
period of the season, namely, two steam boilers and
nearly 500 bales of cotton piled in tiers fore 'and aft.
She carried out four passengers for St. Petersburg ;
among them was Dr. M‘lienzie, his wife, and several
children. It is believed that there are twenty-four
widows and nearly sixty children bereaved by the
deplorable loss of this ship: The wreckage seen sup-
posed to be part of the steamer consisted of cabin furni-
ture, panels, &c., and a board with the letter H on it,
painted blue and gold. It was passed in lat. 65 N ,
long. 30 E., together with a large quantity of cotton
bales: The owners of the Edinburgh believe the
wreckage to have belonged to that vessel. Respecting
the Moscow a quantity of wreck and bales of goods,
known to have formed part of her cargo, have been
washed ashore on the coast of Finland. • Amon..' the
wreckage was some baggage belonging to one of the
'cabin passengers, of whom there were six on board.
The bales of cotton are in the possession of Captain
Boulton, of Lloyd's Association, who was sent out
to Jutland to protect the underwriters' interest in the
wreck of the Arctic steamer. At first the cotton was
supposed to have belonged to that vessel, the Arctic,
but when closely inspected it was discovered they bore
the brands of the Moscow. It is somewhat remarkable
that the Moscow and Arctic, which were both from one,
port, Grimsby, sailed at the same time for St. Peters-
burg. The Moscow kept company with the Arctic, on
the passage across the North Sea, until within a few
hours of the wreck of the Arctic, when the master of
the latter lost sight of her, and that was the last time
she was seen. She, like the Edinburgh, had an immense
deck cargo, consisting chiefly of cotton bales, piled
the whole length of the deck, and which is the main
reason assigned for her loss. That she was one of
the two steamers seen to founder near the Shaw, on
the Danish coast, there appears to be very little doubt.
Her crew numbered about 25 hands, most of whom were
married men and have left families unprotected. Other
wreckage has been washed ashore on the east coast of
Jutland, evidently from the other missing steamers, the
Thor and Viscount Lambton. The Board of Trade
having ordered an inquiry into the loss of the Arctic
steamer, the whole question of steamers being allowed
to carry heavy deck cargoes when bad weather must
it be
experienced is to be fully gone into, and which, is
expected, will terminate in some recommendation to the
Government to pass an enactment prohibiting deck loads
at the period above mentioned as being dangerous to life
and property. It is on record that a great many vessels
have been lost, with their crews, in consequence of car-
rying heavy deck loads. It is computed that, the loss of
these fine steamers and cargoes will exceed £150,000,

RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—An accident of a serious nature
occurred on the Hereford line of railway on Tuesday
evening last, at about half-past five, by which several
persons were injured, some of them severely. The pas-
senger train which left Newport at three, p.m., soon
after leaving the Ludlow station came into collision
with portion of a preceding goods train, which had
become detached, and remained on the line. In conse-
quence of the dense fog which prevailed, and the short-
ness of the time, the danger signals could not be com-
municated in time to prevent the collision. The driver
and fireman escaped by jumping from the train ; one of
the waggons was smashed to pieces.
