ARMIES IN, CHINA.

CAPTURE' OF THE ENGLISH PRISONERS.

The .advices by the overland mail from Hong Kong
are to Oct. 13. The English mails of Aug. 26 arrived
out Oct. 9.

Details, are given of the capture -of Mr. Parkes, and
several Englishmen, by the Chinese. They were well
treated. It was previously known that the demand of
the Chinese commissioners at Tien-Tsin for further delay
was met by an order for-the advance of the Allies. The
townrupon, the march were found to be in, great part
deserted, and supplies had to be taken by force. On the
morning of the 18th September it was found that the
army was surrounded by Tartar troops. An engagement
immediately took place, which caused the Tartars to
retire with some loss. A second engagement took place
on September 21, when about twenty-five of our force
and several hundreds of the enemy were placed hors de
combat. The next day a flag of truce was sent in from
Pekin, and proposals were made to re-open negotiations.
On the followinc day suplies were sent in by the Chinese
for the use of the allied army. The latest news is to
September 27 or 28, when the allied army was still in
position seven or eight miles from Pekin, and two or
three from Tung-Chan.

THE'IASERICAN EXCHANGES AND TH'E

LONDON MONEY MARKET.
The Times, after noticing that the fall in the funds
yesterday, was caused by mercantile telegrams from New
)Cork, quoting the rates of exchange for, bankers' bills
on London at 1061—a decline of per, cent. since the
previous advices,—it attributes this alteration solely to
the agitation for- disunion having caused a great amount
of Southern bills to be suddenly thrown on the New
York money market, for which gold has been taken;
thus causing a sharp pressure for money. The New
York bankers would buy these bills to any amount at
low terms, but to obtain the funds they would have to
sell their own draughts on England, and to submit to a
considerable sacrifice in the rate. The effect of such
operations can be but temporary, and should cause no
uneasiness.

THE ROAD MURDER INQUIRY.
The motion was made so late in this term that cause
cannot be shown against the rule nisi until Hilary
Term, which does not commence before the 11th of
next January ; and the new inquiry, if eventually
ordered to issue, cannot come off before February.

DEATH OF THE DUKE OF NORFOLK.
This event occurred on Sunday. The Duke had just
completed his 45th year. His eldest son will complete
his thirteenth year next month. It was out of a
bequest to a younger son that arose the costly suit
known as the great Shrewsbury case. His grace once
sat for Limerick. He seldom addressed either • House
except on topics affecting the interests of the Roman
Catholics, .when his moderation and courtesy always
commanded respect.

MAIL NEWS.
The India and China letters by the Overland Mail
were 'despatched to the provinces this morning by the
earliest trains.
The mails for India, China, and Australia will remain
open till 'this evening to allow replies to the letters
which will be delivered in London this morning. ,

SOUTH AMERICA.
Advices by the French mail state that the adhesion
of Buenos Ayres to the Confederation had been finally
and officially settled, and that the modification in the
Constitution had been agreed to with only one dissentient
voice.
