the following summary of the treaty recently con-
cluded at Tien-Tzin by Count Putiatine, on the 13th

Art. 3 says The commerce of Russia and China may
hisoeforth be carried on, not only by land in the old border
localities, but by sea also. Rued= merchant vessels may
land their cargoes at the following pore: Shanghai, Ningpo,
Foo-chow-foo, Sia-moult, Canton, Tai-wan-ton, Tecium-
tchyin, and at other places opened to foreign commerce."
In Art. 4 it is said In future no resirictione whatever
shall to put upon the number of persons employed in the
commerce by land, or on the amount of merchandise im-
ported, or on the capital employed."
Art. 6 saya:—" The &lasi= government has the right,
shouldit think St, to appoint consuls in all the above mimed
porta. It may send he meals of war there to maintain
order among Rossi= subjects sojourning at the open ?ode,
and to protect the authority of the consule"
In Articles 9 and 10 it is said The Chinese govern-
ment, recognising that the Christian doctrine contributes to

Christian religion, but to protect them equally se are pro-
tected the adherents cf any other form of worship tolerated
in the empire. Considering the miasionariee to be worthy

government auttiorime them to propagate Christianity among
Its subjects, and will not prevent them from penetrating into

eates by she consul, or frontier autboritios of Rumia."

cision from the superior authorities, return at any time to
Russia by Kiakhts, or by my other route, and other persons
may be nominated to their steed aid place at Patin."

Before the paasengers left the Paramatta, on her

drew up and signed the following address to Captain

. . . .
Bayntou :
Sie we leave your noble ship we beg unanimously to ea-
pees to you oor sense of your kindness end attention shown
to all. We deeply deplore the accident that occurred last
night by the Paramatta's running aground. At the same
time, one end all feel confident that this circumetance ham

amen in to way from say want of t recitation, either on
your part or that of the officers of the chip. Your joint and
untiring exertions throughout the voyage, and pertinently
during the 'bola of yesterday, were most coospicnous, and
remarked by all. We are of opinion, from our experience of

Anegada net, brought to Southampton by the mail steamer
Tema); state that the Permeate hod worked herself upright
by grinding sway His rock on which she is it - Her
peddle-flows were taken off, end the ship lightened in other
ways, and very little doubt wee entertained the; if the wea-
ther continued doe, rho would be got off. A large quantity
of apparatus, conalsting of Starnahaw clay, mho, saris, and
other appliances, was sent oat from Southampton on Toes-
day last by the Atrato, to assist to the work of floating the
Paramatta; also seven Metro and two steam-pumps, and an

file MALTA AND CAGLIARI ELECTRIC TELE.
OILAPH.—Some anxiety has lately been felt as to the safety
of the steamer Lady Sale, which left Matte some week" ego
to repair the cable between thou piece and Cagliari, which,
since the feth of March, bee been disabled. no later tidings
having been received ci that steamer since the 3rd of July,
when she telegraphed her progress as for as Marittimo, and
the buoying of the cable off that island. A sailing vend
which arrived at Malta from Marsala reports that the
steamer bad been in there with damage, and bed left an
Thursday, the Mat of July, to resume operations, so as to
splice on to the two ends the router cable which she has
brought out from England over the spot where a rupture
has twice occurred, and where coral reefs and volcanic)
action are known to exist.

Loss or Pout Lirss.—A sad event has just 00.
slurred et Hull. A man named George Taylor, landlord
of the Lord Durham pubic-house, Cr...trews'', in that
town, bad occasion to tip a puncheon of ram. For this
purpuee be had used a gimlet, but, the hole made by the
Instrument not being large enough, be had the folly
to heat the kitchen poker to enlarge it. On applying
this instrument the spirit ignited, and an explosion took
plam. Taylor was dreadfully burnt on hls hands end arms,
his hair IMO eloped off, end his clothe. almost destroyed.
He rushed into the street, and the fiery spirit instantly
spread throughout the dram-shop, which was in dame
in an instant. Tire housekeeper was to one of the beck-rooms
end had just time to tempt unhurt; but two of Taylor's
children—Haqoah, six pergola. and Roger, four years old—
were envelqed in tha Shies (which soon sprawl to every
put of the perigees), and were very alarmingly burnt about
the body, and they died • few hours afterwards. There
were two other cluldreg in the plea', namely, Emily Clifton,
Eve years of age, mad Mary Stewart, four yearns. One wig
burnt to death in the plies, and the other was so much
buret that she also died, so that altogether four lives were
loot. The house was gutted, and a greet deal of other
damage was dons before the fire war subdued. Two obeli:2
who leaped from an upstairs window, fortunately
unhurt.

UNDISTARII4O.—A remarkable and
perilcus undertaking has just bees accnmplitilud at Stoke
Prior, in Worocaterehire. At that place, which is sited*
on the line of the Brietol and Birmingham Railway, are
very extensive chemical wotte, which form a small town
in themselves, and hers is one of the tallest chimneys In the
couary, being no le than 312 feet (104 y.rds) in height.
Upon this chimney was lied, some throe or four years age,
a lightning conductor (the chimney booing a short time
before hewn struck with lightning), but the action of the
&mama gave from the ebioitey having eaten away
all the projecting portion of the conductor, the pro-
prietor (Mr. Corbett)) engaged a person from Sheffield
(Mr. Brown) to undertake the took, which he has just
cleverly amornpliched. The proprietor being unwafts
to atop the works it watt necessery to ascend to the top of the
chimney by rbe exterior. and accordingly Air. Brows pre-
pared 24 ladders, each 21 feet in length, and having placed
ens in position at the font of the chimney, spliced the
second to it by ropes, at the same time securing it from
motion by pins Seed in the chimney. In this way each of
the 24 ladders was raised. The chief difficulty, however,
was in fining and wending the last ladder, there to ing •
cornice at the top of the chimney projecting three pet six
kitty*. However, this difficulty we. cleverly overcome, end
the ingenious sod venturesome contractor having ascended
.newt in safety on the top and renewed the lop uf the
lightning conductor. To ascend a cbituney of this height by
Isadore la a feat never before accomplished.
