CHINA.

A private letter from Ningpo, of the 17th of
January, says :
The city is still held by the Upping rebels, and is at pre-
sent a vast barracks inhabited by soldiers. In the settlement
business is becoming a little more brisk, many shopkeepers
Kevin returned to do • little more " pidgeon" with the
rebels, who came over in great numbers. They are very
eager to obtain arms, common firearms fetching enormous
prices. The rebel forces surrounded Hangchow some weeks
since, stopped all supplies, and took the city hat week,
when the inhabitants were found to be subsisting on
human flesh and grass. The rebels are said to be menacing
ahanehai, having fired some few villages within • few miles
of the city. Admiral Hope left Ningpo in the Coreniandel
last T=e&y, after three days' stay, during which he visited
the rebel chief officially ; but whet occurred during the
conference is, I suppose, a state secret, it not having tran-
spired. The Imperieuse was at Woosung, but was in a very
defective state from leaks, cot casioned by her getting ashore
in Japan, and from her screw shaft being found
split. In consequence of her leaks her fires have
to be kept constantly alight to keep her clear
of water. The Swat is still here, and though the
small-pox has disappeared on board, she has still about •
dozen cases ashore in • temporary hospital, all progressing
favourably. She seems otherwise very healthy. The epi-
demic is not confined to this place, since there have been
five cases (one fatal) on board the Ringdove at Shanghai.
The admiral has visited Nankin, and is now about q.oed-
ing to Hong Kong, calling at Swatow, Foochow, and Amoy
on his way there. An officer belonging to the gunboat Flamer
was tried bi court-martials last week on board the Imps-
riense, for insolence Ito the commanding officer, and was
seuteuced to nine months' imprisonment with hard labour
in one:of her Majesty's gaols in England, and afterwards to
be dismissed from her Majesty's service. This sentence has
caused much indignant conversation amongthe orb:enrol her
Majesty's ships in these porta. We hear now that 25 rebels
had their heads taken off in 'the city very recently, for
levying a tax upon distant villages without authority, and
by misrepresentation. With this exception came of de-
capitation are very rare.
