CHINA.

WHEN we read the comments of some of our
contemporaries on the stipulations made, or sup-
posed to have been made, with the Chinese
Emperor, and the expressions of joy and satisfac-
tion with which they hail the so-called conces-
sions in favour of Christianity, we cannot help
feeling strong sensations of uneasiness as to what
the better portion of neighbouring nations must
think of us and of our doings. If these writers
were to be taken at their word, the propagation
of the Christian faith amongst the untold millions
of Chinese has been the great object and the
main result of our hostile proceedings.

It seems to us that, in the mode of setting
about conferring this great blessing on this

SPECTACLES.—Sight and Hearing.—Deafness.
A newly-invented Instrument for extreme cases of Deal-
noes, called the SOUND NIACIN IFIEII, Organic Vibrator, and
Invisible Voice Conductor. It fits so into the ear as nut to be
in the least perceptible; the unpleasant sensation of singing
noises in the head is entirely removed. It affords instant relief
toile dottiest persona, and enables them to hear distinctly at
church and at public assemblies. Messrs. SOLOMOSS have
invented spectacle lenses of the greatest transparent power.
The valuable advstitage derived from this invention is that
vision becomes preserved and strengthened ; very nged persons
are enabled to employ their sight at the most minute occupa-
tion, can see with these lenses of a much less magnifying
power, and they du not require the frequent changes to the
dangerous effects of further powerful assistance.-39, ALBE-

GREENWICH.—Mr. Alderman Salemons once more
addresses the electors of Greenwich, making the
formal resignation of Mr. Townsend the opportunity
for doing so. A large measure of electoral Reform,
the entire abolition of Church-rates, and the vote by
Ballot, are the three leading principles he sets forth.
The election will not take place till the beginoiog of
next year.
REIGATE.—Mr. Wilkinson and Mr. Monson are the
only candidates who are openly in the field.
THE REPRESENTATION OF IPSWICH is sought by
Mr. J. King, the proprietor of the Suffolk Chronicle,
who has issued an address in which he offers himself
as a candidate. Mr. King, who is a Liberal, makes
it, however, a condition that the electors should
choose him without personal canvass, committee, or
the expen.liture of a single shilling beyond the
disbursements required by law; his avowed object
being to promote the cause of purity of election.
SIR EDWARD BULWER LYTTON'S re-election for
Hertfordshire, upon his appointment to the Ace of
Scoretary of State for the Colonies, cost no less than
1,147/.125. 3d. The election was uncontested; only
eight days intervened between the issue of the
Speaker's warrant and the day of election; there
was no polling ; the nomination took place in a field
in the vicinity of Hertford in the open air, and the
candidate addressed the constituency from a waggon,
thus dispensing with hustings ; and yet, despite cir-
cumstances so favourable to an inexpensive return,
this purely formal proceeding, consequent upon his
accepting an office under the Crown, subPcted him
to an outlay of nearly 1501. a day for each of the
eight days, a Sunday included, or nearly a fourth of
his annual salary of 5,00(11. as Colonial Minister.
What the pecuniary result of a contested election to
Sir Lytton would have been can be but faintly
imagined. The great hulk of the money, or upwards
of 8001., went in the payment of "agency and can
vassing expenses," there being no other candidate in
the field, though ;II first one had been talked of.

A MATRIMONIAL MISADVENTURE Of a singular
nature was brought under the notice of the magic•
trate of the Westminster Police-court on Monday.
It appeared that Mr. Thomas Stevens, a house
decorator, of middle age, was married, on the Ist
instant, at St. Luke's, Chelsea, to Miss Martha
Elizabeth Dunkley. After the performance of the
ceremony it was suggested that they should com-
mence the honeymoon with a visit to Cremorne that
evening, whither they repaired. They left early to
return home, and were joined by the bride's sister.
Alter proceeding a short distance Mrs. Stevens took
a fancy to some dainty in a ham and beef shop
window, when her husband requested her to stay
outside while he went in and purchased it for her.
To his surprise, on regaining the street he found his
newly married wife and sister some distance off,
running as fast as their legs could carry them. He
called to them to stop, but in vain, and being unable
to follow them at any pace owing to a recent attack
of paralysis, he lost them, and found that all attempts
to recover his wife were useless. He saw no more
of her until Saturday evening, when he met the in-
constant fair in the street in company with a formid-
able man of colour. In consequence of what he had
heard he was afraid to go up to them, but was
determined to watch them, in which, however, he
was, after keeping them in sight for a few minutes
only, frustrated. To add to Mr. Stevens's mortifica-
tion, he had lost his clothing and several other
articles. He had applied fora portion of these where
he believed his wife to be secreted, but could get no
satisfactory answer, and had since betaken himself
to the house of his wife's father, in Church-street,
Chelsea, where, in anticipation of his marriage, he
had deposited other propetty, when, to his surprise
and alarm, the lady's parent told him to be off, or
he would run a knife into him. The object of the
present application was to obtain summonses against
Mr. Dunkley for the threat, and for the unlawful
detention of the property. The application was
granted.
AT THE MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, 011 Tuesday, John
Knight, the cabman, was indicted for feloniously
assaulting Mary Catherine Barry, putting her in
bodily fear, anti stealing from her person a purse
containing 1/. 19s. Od., and some clothes. In a
second indictment he was charged with having as-
saulted her with intent, for unlawfully and indecently
tearing her clothes from her body, and fog a common

The religious worship and teaching is, of course,
to be according to the doctrine and principles of the
Church of England ; but attendance on such worship
or teaching will not be required of boys whose guar-
dians may object on the grounds of religious dissent.
Thus, then, the annual income of the college, in-
cluding the payments to be made by the (100) boys,
will be 0,1601., which is considered sufficient to pro-
vide a suitable staff of masters, and to cover all ex-
penses for 100 boys; es the funds of the college

THE ATLANTIC CABLE.

The Atlantic cable still continues the all•engrossing
subject. The Common Council of the City of New
Yark bad invited President Buchanan, the foreign
ambassadors at Washington, and the members of the
Cabinet, to a banquet in honour of the Atlantic
telegraph. The Emperor Napoleon had made certain
concesssions to the Atlantic Telegraph Company, in
regard to the French islands which lie between New-
foundland and Nova Scotia, the effect of which would
be to extend the telegraph to them, and at the same
time to promote the prosperity of the French fisheries.

•TH& GOLD REGIONS.
By the City of Washington, which arrived at
Liverpool on Thursday, we have interesting news
from Frazer. Another shipment of 50,000 dollars in
gold from the new diggings had reached San
Francisco. The tide of emigration to the northward
had, however, been partially checked by the discou-
raging reports circulated by the disappointed gold•
hunters. During the fortnight preceding the sth July
12,000 persons had taken passage for Victoria, while
2,000 had returned from the same point.

A NEW STATE.

Oregon was under full sail as a now State of the

complete exercise of all administrative functions.

CAPTURE OF A SLAYER BY THE U.S. BRIG "DOLPHIN."

The New York Herald reports that the United

the coast of Cuba, on the morning of the 21st ult.,
and arrived at West. Key on the following day. At
daylight she discovered a sail ahead standing on the
same course as the Dolphin, which gained on her
very rapidly during the day. At four p.m. the sail
ahead hauled on the wind, as if trying to get out of
the Dolphin's course, which caused her to be consi-
dered a suspicious craft. The Dolphin tacked and
stood off in pursuit, hoisting the English colours, and
fired a blank cartridge, which not being answered by
the other vessel, another was tired at half-past four
p.m., and this also being unnoticed, at five p.m. she

WOUNDED TROOPS FROM DELHI, to the number of
140, most of whom took part in the desperate assault
and capture of the Indian strongholds under General
Nicholson, arrived at Chatham on Saturday. They
had previously debarked at Gravesend lrom the
Indianian Waterloo, from Kurrachee, which port hhe
left ou the 4th of 11tay last, the voyage to England
occupying 123 days. The sick and disabled men
belong chiefly to the 61st, 70th, and 81st Regiments ;
but there are, in addition to these, invalids from
most of the cavalry and infantry corps now serving in
India.

THE 48TH REGIMENT are ordered to embark at
Gibraltar for Calcutta ; the Ist battalion of the 3rd
Regiment of Foot, at present at Corfu, are under
orders also for Calcutta. The 28th Regiment, at
Malta, are to proceed to Bombay, orders having been
sent out at the close of the past week from the Horse-
Guards. All three regiments are to go to Alexandria,
and by the overland route to their respective stations

LORD CHU RSTON

ON Saturday a depattion from the Brixbam Fishing
Insurance Society, and the flAtermen from that port,
waited on Lord Churston (late Sir John Yarde
Buller) at Lupton-house, and presented an address
of congratni4tion upon his lordship's recent elevation
to the peerage. Lord Churston, in the course of a
very graceful reply, said he was free to confess that
it was nut without much regret that he regarded the
changed position which he now occupied towards
them. Ile had been the representative of the
southern division of this great county for thirty years,
and during the whole of that time the people of
Brixham, and his maritime friends in particular, hail
given him proofs of their kindness and support which
could never he effaced from his mitmory. But,
although the functions of a member of the House of
Peers differed in many respects from those of the
Lower House, he promised them that in any and
every way in which he could continue to be of service
to the large and influential body in whose behalf he
had the honour of receiving the gentlemen before
him, or to any individual member of that body, he
should not merely be ready, but only too happy, to
servo them ; while to all questions affecting the well-
being of the country at large which might come
under the notice of the House of Lords he should, so
long as he was able, give the closest attention.
Regarding the army and navy, as being necessary
for the protection of Old England, he should take a
deep and abiding interest in their efficiency ; and they
might, moreover, rely upon his best endeavours to
carry out those principles which had hitherto eon).

LONDON, SATURDAY, MARCH 27, 1858.

WHEN we announced, last summer, the loss
we had sustained by the death of our excellent
editor, Mr. COULTON, our statement necessarily
implied that, after due consideration, some
changes would be made in the management of
this Journal. A void having been left, that
void, of necessity, would have to be filled
The needful changes have been long delayed,
and the paper has been left for several
months under an interim management. Re-
cently, however, having regard to the altered
position of the Conservative party, and to its
present requirements, the necessary steps
have been taken; and after that inevitable
delay which always attends such changes,
THE PRESS will, it is hoped, renew its youth,
and give fresh proofs of that talent and energy
which placed it at the outset in the foremost
rank of weekly journals.
These remarks have reference merely to
the supply of our loss, and the increase of our
literary strength. In other respects, there will
be no change. The peculiar position which this
Journal has always occupied, with reference to
the Conservative party, it will continue to
occupy. It has always possessed, and it will
still possess, the confidence of the leaders of
the party; and will be enabled to have access
to the best sources of information. Neither
in its principles, nor in its position, will there
be any alteration.
We are thus explicit upon these points, be-
cause, during the last few days, we have been
exposed to attacks of the most nefarious kind.
Learning that some change was about to take
place, and that the vacant chair of the editor
was soon to be filled, two or three would-be
rivals of ours have been actively employed
for several days past in circulating the most
absar,l stories with reference to supposed
changes in the principles and conduct of this
paper. An entire alteration, it has been said,
was about to take place ; the paper was to be
severed from the Conservative party, and to
advocate some other principles. The drift,
however, of all these stories was usually shown
towards the close of these paragraphs. The
practical advice was generally tendered,
"Good folks, leave off reading THE PRESS,
and buy our paper."

All this is miserable work ; but it is not nur
purpose to retaliate. Our only answer is, that
the stories in question are for the most part
wholly groun,lless awl false : they are the
wretched devices of men of lo,v morals and
lower circumstances, and who are not to be
deterred from calumnious falsehood by any
LATEST EDITION.

Rlttropolitan.

THE first annual meeting of the Discharged Pri-
soners' Aid Society was held last Saturday. The
Earl of Shaftesbury, the Bishop of London, Lord
Chichester, Mr. Whitbread, M.P., and several phi-
lanthropic noblemen and gentlemen attended. From
the report, it appeared that the efforts of the society
to aid discharged prisoners either to emigrate or to
obtain employment have been highly successful.
One hundred and forty-one cases had engaged their
attention and obtained support during the year, and
the result in every case was satisfactory. The Bishop
of London in the course of his speech said that there

303

were in the metropolis upwards of 30,000 deserted
children.

THE LILWALL TRIBUTE progresses satisfactorily.
Various bodies of the trading community are taking
up the design with a view of standing honourably on
the subscription list. A well•attended meeting was
held on Tuesday evening, consisting exclusively of
City warehousemen, at which resolutions were unani.
mously passed recognising Mr. Lilwall's earnest and
successful labours on behalf of early closing and the
half•holiday movement, and expressing a hope that
all in that department of commercial life will show
by personal exertion and by their liberal subscrip-
tions that they appreciate Mr. Lilwall's valuable ser-
vices to themselves and to society at large.

LAND TENURE IN SCOTLAND.

The LORD ADVOCATE, in reply to Mr. Dunlop,
said he could not pledge himself to introduce, during
this session, a measure to simplify titles to land in
Scotland.

THE PASSPORT SYSTEM.

Mr. M. MILSES called attention to the vexations
to which British subjects are exposed by the late
alteration in the passport system in France, which,
be observed, had created a practical grievance, large
masses in this country having been much inconve-
nienced thereby, and they asked earnestly for a
remedy. He dwelt upon the ill effects, as respected
both countries, of such a restriction upon free com-
munication, which could not, he observed, be regarded
as a friendly and neighbourly act, and it was one
which, he thought, called for immediate action on
the part of our Government. He complained of the
additional labour and responsibility cast upon magis-
trates, and of the vexation and distress which indi-
viduals underwent iu consequence of these recent
unhappy passport regulations. He suggested, as a
reasonable remedy, that the passport system should
be transferred from the Foreign-office—its connection
with which, in his opinion, led to a great deal of con-
fusion and abuse—to the Home-otfice, and that the
onus of refusing a passport should be placed upon
the Government of this country. He concluded by
moving for copies of correspondence between her
Majesty's Government and that of the Emperor of
the French on the late alterations in the passport
system, and of the regulations respecting passports
issued by the Foreign-office since ISI3, with the fees
charged on their delivery.
Mr. WALTER seconded the motion.
Mr. S. FITZGERALD observed that this was a prac-
tical question, relating to a matter of intet nal regu-
lation on the part of the French Government, which
had met her Majesty's Government in the matter in
a liberal spirit. The French Government had always
been in the habit of permitting their own consular
authorities to issue passports, and this permission
they had certainly withdrawn ; but they were willing
to admit any regulations which this Government
might lay down ; so that the blame thrown upon the
regulations did not rest with that of France. There
must be some regulations to establish identity and
nationality, and the practical question was how to
frame them

It was at present in contemplation by her Majesty's
Government to appoint passport officers in some of the
must considerable seaport towns ; and he thought it pro-
bable that such officers would be stationed at Dover,

THE WRECK OF THE " KVA."

A BRIEF description of the loss of this flue steamer
has appeared trom the pen of one of the passengers
on board. It appears that the Ava left Calcutta for
Suez on the morning of the 10di of February. On
board of her were Lady Inglis, the wife of the general
late commanding at Lucknow, and her three chil-
dren; General Michell, bound for Bombay; Colonel
Greaihed, the hero of the Ddbi flying column ; Cap.
tam James, the saviour of the Lucknow garrison ;
and many other ladies and gentlemen lately besieged
there. Altogether the passengers numbered up-
wards of sixty. Alter the Ava left Calcutta it tran.
spired that she was engaged on the part of Govern-
ment to take up treasure at 3ladras, and convey it to
Trincomalee, thus making a deviation from her
course. She arrived at bladras at four p.m. of the
14tb of January, took in some more passengers—
chiefly ladies and children—and the treasure, and
left for Trincomalee at the same hour on the lath.

At ten a.m. on the 10th the ship was running about
eleven knots and a half in the hour for Trio.

THE SUEZ CANAL.

Mr. GRIFFITH, after explaining at some length the
advantages, and insisting on the practicability-, of
constructing a ship canal across the Isthmus of Suez,
inquired whether the present Government intended
to throw any obstacles in the way of the scheme.
Mr. DIsRAFLI said that there were no political
objections of any sc•rt against the construction of
the canal. On scientific and commercial grounds,
however, he apprehended that the project could not
be successfully carried out. _ .

The house adjourned at half. past eight o'clock,
until April 12, over the Easter holidays.

It is rumoured (says the Worcester Chronicle)
that our excellent chairman of the County Quarter
Sessions, Sir J. Pakington, will resign that otliceat
the ensuing sessions, in consequence of his inability
now to spare the time necessary fur the proper con-
duct of the business.

A story has been circulated during the past week
of an elopement in high life. But we give no
further currency to it, having been informed, on good
authority, that no foundation exists for the rumour.

_ .
It is now positively stated that the new Covent-
garden Theatre will open on the 15th of May. The
reports to this effect, which have been flying about
for some time, have been treated by most persons
as idle rumours, not to be talked of seriously ; but
now the intention is publicly advertised by the
management. On looking at the building in its
present. state, it still seems incredible that it can
anyhow be finished in so short a time, but mote im-
possible things have lately been achieved.

The Augsburg Gazette states that France and
England are agreed upon the following points :-1.
The Porte must repress the insurrection in Bosnia
and Herzegovina. 2. It must faithfully execute the
Hatti-Hountayoum. Shnuld these requisitions be
complied with, it will not be necessary to consult the
Paris Conference on the subject; but if otherwise,
th,: Conference will be formally called upon to settle
the question.

ITALY.
SENTENCE ON DEATH ON MAZZINI.

A despatch from Genoa, dated March 20, in the
Moniteur, says :
The court of Genoa hay this day given judgment in the
political trials which took place in consequence of the
events ofJone last. Tiienty.nine prisoners are acquitted;
nine sentenced to twenty years' imprisonment (with hard
labour); one to thirteen years', seven to twelve years', ten
to ten years', and one to seven years' imprisonment.
Mazzini and five others, who were tried in their absence,
and are in contempt of court, are sentenced to death.
NAPLES.

In consequence of the note delivered by the
British Government, not only had Watt, the engi-
neer, whose mind had become effected, been liberated,
but the King has given orders that the trial of
Park should proceed with all possible despatch, in
order that he might be speedily set at liberty, and
enabled to return to England with his fellow•prisoner.
Watt has already arrived in England, and Park is
at present residing in the house of the British Consul
at Naples.

CHINA.

Canton dates are toieb:ls: Canton was quiet.
America and Russia had joined the alliance, and a
course of common action has been agreed upon.
The tour representatives were about to proceed to a
rendezvous at Shanghai. Trade had reopened at
Canton, and the site of the new factories had been
marked out. The Chinese authorities receive the
duties. The sepoy 70th Regiment had arrived, and
was quartered within the walls of Canton.
Yeh, a prisoner on board the Inflexible, was at
Hong• Kong on the 15th of l'Abruary, on his way to
Calcutta.

Respecting the loss of life, during the attack on
Canton, the Times correspondent says

I have taken Rome pains to ascertain the loss suffered
by the Chinese during the bombardment and the storm.
We have all the official returns of the first day in our
possession, and no account that I have seen places the
deaths during the whole operations higher than 20j.
The correspondent of the Daily Newa, on the
other hand, makes the following estimate :

At a guess, and nothing more, except judging by the
number of dead bodies l have seen, I shoal i say the
Chinese lost about a thousand killed during the bombard-
ment and the attack. If this loss of lite is weighed against
the increased prosperity that will without doubt be seen
and felt in the city, after a short period of the rule of the
Western powers, I think that the must prejudiced must
admit that the course taken has been the most humane.
Official documents have been discovered, in which it
appears that Yeh, during the short period of three months
put to death no less than the enormous number of 2(t,00 U
human beings. This is a fact beyond doubt, the docu-
ments taken showing the name of every man and woman
and for what they were executed.

THE DRAWING-ROOM.

ALEXANDRE and SON have just taken out a new Patent for the Drawing-Room Harmonium, which
effects the greatest improvement they have EVER made in the Instrument. The Drawing-Room Models will be
found of a softer, purer, and in all respects more agreeable tone than any other Instruments. They have a
perfect and easy means of producing a diminuendo or crescendo on any one note or more the bass can be
perfectly subdued, without even the use of the Expression Stop, the great difficulty in other Harmoniums. To
each of the New Models an additional blower is attached at the back, so that the wind can be supplied (if
preferred) by a second person, and still, UNDER THE NEW PATENT, the Performer can play with
perfect expression.

THE PRESS, MARCH 27, 1858.

On the north exists the greater part of a large oblong
crater; and a current of lava, springing from its base,
turns to the east, and covers a considerable space inclosed
between the Puy and the opposite heights o.f granite.
Overflowing here, one portion of the current takes to the
left, skirts the base of the Puy de Dome, and descends to
Enval, where it joins that which derives from the Puy de
Cohere already noticed ; the other enters the little valley
of Beaune, but disappears before it arrives at Fontfredde,
beneath the meadows of the low ground it occupies. The
basalt of this current is cellular and coarsely crystalline, of
a light grey colour, very similar to that of the Puy de
Salomon above described, has a large dose of felspar in the
composition of its b.►se, and embedded crystals of this
mineral and of olivine. A separation into rude columns is
observable nn some points. Another semi•crater to the
left has also emitted a stream of lava, which, alter joining
those of the Puys Lamoreno and Mositchar, two dependen•
cies of Laschatnp closely united to it, spreads over a part
of the western slope.
To the south of the Puy de Lascliamp rises an irre-
galarly circular system of volcanic canes, the produce of
many repeated eruptions within a small space, which in
all probability succeeded one another very closely, or raged
at the same epoch. This is the most interesting portion
of the whole range to every observer, whether geologist or
not. The extraordinary character of the view from any on
of those pays impresses it for ever on the memory. There
is no spot amongst the Phlegrtean fields of Italy or Sicily
which displays in greater perfection the peculiar features
of a country desolated by volcanic phenomena.
It is true that the cones thrown up around are partially
wooded and in general covered with herbage ; but the
sides of some are still naked, and the interior of their
broken cutters. rugged, black, and scoritied, as well as the
rocky floods of lava with which they have loaded the
plain, have a freshness of aspect, such as the products of
tire alone could have preserved so long, and offer a striking
picture of the operations of this element in all its moat
terrible energy.

Those cultivators of geology who have never
visited Central France will find this wort: of
Mr. Scrope an invaluable aid to their studies,
if they make a personal examination of that
most interesting district. We surmise that a
" popular" tourist might find the whole coun-
try worth describing in a light book of travels,
describing the scenery and local characteristics
of the society in that portion of France which
includes Puys de Dome, Haute Loire, and
Ardeche, departments that lie out of the com-
mon routes for English pleasure-seekers.
