NEWS OF THE DAY.

rekiu has been captured by the British and French
forces. Lord Palmerston and all the leading Ministers
are awaiting the arrival of the China mail, with the
greatest anXiety, and Cabinet Councils will be resumed
in the Orly part of next week. Our news by telegraph
from China to-day is most important. We have an
astute but thoroughly unscrupulous enemy to deal with.
But we have at length pursued him to his last Imperial
lair. We have taken the gates of his capital (with four
millions of inhabitants), and we have sacked his palace
with an incredible amount of spoil. Such successes are
dearly bought by the sufferings of some, and we fear the
death of others, amongst the best men in our public
service. But the lesson will not be lost upon the cruel
and perfidious race with whom we have to deal. These
proceedings may involve a winter occupation of these
parts, but that cannot avail against a country possess-
ing the highest credit in Europe, and a fabulous amount
of trade. There are no accounts of the fighting, but the
loss—if it shall unhappily be realised—of the few chosen
Englishmen who are killed in cold blood, will measure
against 1 in 100 of belligerents in the public mind, and
of I in 1,000 of perfidious and blood-thirsty Chinese.
Two of the six prisoners made at Tung-than only
have been recovered, namely, Mr. Consul-General Parkes
and Mr. Loch, Lord Elgin's private secratary. Mr.
Boulby, the Times' correspondent, is still unaccounted
for, and two others have unfortunately met their death
at the hands of the stupid and brutal Chinamen, who
must either have been so ignorant as to mistake them
for persons of the utmost importance to the army, or
have been so insensate as to murder them in coldblood.
Further particulars, however, of these great events are
now on their way from Marseilles, and, until they shall
have arrived, the public opinion must, in a greater or
lesser degree, be suspended in the matter. Since the
victory of Plassy, gained by Clive a century since, no
event has occurred in Asia of equal importance to English
power and influence in the east. Coming so close as it
does on the heels of the suppression of the insurrection
in India, this capture of the Chinese capital—inviolable
for centuries as Pekin has been—must have the
same effect on the Asiatic mind as the aaptate of
Mexico by Cortes had upon the Mexican abori-
gines. It speaks in language not to be misunder-
stood that England will suffer no paltering for any
lengthened period; and that if she postpones her rights,
and forbears to strike, it is not from weakness, but from
the consciousness of her irresistible strength. The only
difficulty in the way of an 'immediate settlement is the
possible cross action of French diplomacy ; but Eng,
land is now in a position to remove, obstructions of any
kind which may be thrown athwart her path. Honour
to the brave men of both nations—Frnch and English
—who have won the victory of justice and truth over
treachery, ignorance, and chicane ; honour and regret
also to the valiant dead.
The Petrie alleges that, owing to the disturbances in
the Bombay Presidency, two regiments which had
arrived from China at Calcutta, were despatched to
the former presidency.
King Victor has returned to Naples from Sicily. The
reactionary disturbances in the Neapolitan provinces
have developed themselves into insurrections of conside-
rable importance at three places—Caserta, Aversa, and
at Sora, which have required for their mastery the whole
of the Garibaldian army. But the return of the Cardi-
nal Archbishop of Naples to that city has been produc-
tive of a very serious outbreak in the revolutionary inter-
est, the mob having besieged his palace, and attempted
to set it on fire.
It is reported that Francis 11. has concluded a loan at
Vienna; but, on the other hand, a despatch from the
camp before Gaeta, dated Thursday last, asserts that a
new battery has been opened by the Piedmontese against
that fortress, with terrible effect.
The Presse of Saturday says it is in a position to
announce that the Austrian Government is about to
annul the concordat with the Pope, and to establish full
liberty in Austria. The same paper asserts that the
Austrian Government is willing to cede Venetia to the
now united kingdom of Italy. The plan at present
moeted is for Austria to receive in exchange a portion
of the territory on the Lower Danube, which is at
present under the nominal suzerainty of the Porte, but
the population of which evince as strong a repugnance
to the Ottoman rule as the Venetians do the sway of
Austria. The correspondent of the Times, however,
insists that no real concessions will be made as long
as Count Rechberg remains at the head of affairs. The
latter writer also affirms that the state of things in
Hungary is, to all extents and purposes, revolutionary.
Count Cavour has telegraphed to the firm of Roths-
child Brothers to pay the first dividend on the Itoman
loan, the Piedmontese Government undertaking to make

up the amount for which the Pope did not provide
sufficient funds.

It is reported that among Othei measures with which
M. de Persigny will inaugurate his entrance upon the
duties of Minister of the Interior is the repeal of the
laws regarding " general safety," which were passed
with reference to Orsini's attempt on the life of the
Emperor. It is likewise mentioned that the French
Government is about to grant an amnesty to the journals
for previous infractions of the laws oft the subject of the
press. A summary of M. de Persigny's circular to the
prefects of France will be found under the head of our
telegraphic intelligence) where, likewise, there will be
fotind a very liVely account of an interne* alleged ton
Very doubtful authority) to haVe taken place between
the EciperOr and the Bishop of Versailles, on the
subject of the Papas, claims with ibspe.ct to the French
ChUrch. As to the Franco-Syrian 4peditioit,the an-
;titiCtionizel denies the repoited &than& of M. de
Lavalette for the prolongation of the sojourn of the
troops iii Syria, but this Circumstance does not alter the
faCts.

A shocking butchery has been perpetrated by the
natives of Buckatoo, one of the South Pacific islands.
The victims of the atrocity formed part of the crew of
the whaler Henrietta, 'commanded by Captain Brown.
According to the ship's log-book the carpenter and five
of the crew went on short to Mit Sete spars and fire
brood; When they Wert attached, and, with the exception
of 'o'n'e man, Who swam off to the ship, murdered in a
brutal manner. An attempt was afterwards made by
the !satage4 to gain possession of the vessel, but fortii-
nately they *ere driVen oii and defeated. .
The teritelice of death passed on Ann Padfield has
been commuted to penal servitude for life. We have
reason to believe that this extension of mercy has been
granted upon‘a careful consideration of all the facts of
the case, as disclosed at the trial ; and that is in no
degree attributable to the statements made by the
unhappy woman since her conviction, which inculpate
other persons, but appear, on inquiry, to be 'ithout
foundation...., ,

For several days Past the tidinity of Gloucester has
been Visited with almost unceasing rain, which with the
high tides has caused an extensive flood. Miles of
