By this mail we have advicies from Hone Kong to
Dee. 16, and from Shanghai) to Dec. 9.
There is no certain intelligence in regard to the
intentions of the Chinese, but It is reported that the
fortifications of Pekin are being strengthened, and
that large numbers of Tartar troops are concentrated
on the Peiho. Another report smithies that the
Takes forts have bees to some extent dismantled, and
1 will be abandoned on the appearance of a large ,
English force. " Should that be done,' says the
China Mall, " the English commanders will require
to exercise the greatest caution in ascending up to
Tientsin, if they attempt to do so, lest their
vessels be emelt by masked batteries in the turn_
lap of the river."
The rebels in the north of Ngan Beni have
achieved a victory over an Imperialist force through
the treachery of a mandarin, whom the Emperor
had dubbed "The Loyal Man of his Age," on account
of former services he had rendered to the Imperialist
canoe. ninepin, the Imperialist commander in this
conflict, has been allowed to retire from his poet,
doubtless in conseqnsnas of his nen-success. Looking
over the series of victories and defeats, the rebels
appear to be rather losing ground.
The China Mail says :

At Shanghai there had not been any arrivals from
Great Britain, although several vessels were
upwards of five months at sea. The weather all
down the China sea had been exceedingly severe.
Chinese reports continued to state that immense
preparations were being made to receive the allied
forms. This, however, did not appear to interfere
with trade at Shanghai. Large sales had been made
to arrive, in the absence of any stock in first hands.
Shipments from this had met with immediate sale,
bat the supply from that source wee very scanty, and
would soon cease.

The new Ani/ficari treaty had come into operation
at Shanghai. By Article 16 of this document, a re-
ductim of 1 moor per ton of 40 cubic feet is made on
tonnage dues payable by American ships. The
British »presentative had claimed • like reduction
on British tonnage, which latest accounts say had
been conceded.

The first of an intended eerie. of agricultural ex-
hibitiona had taken place at Caledon, about 75 miles
from Cape Town, and attracted • largei concourse of
farmers from the surrounding country. The show
of agricultural produce of all kinds, sad especially
of fine woolled sheep, surpassed all expectation, and
a considerable number of silver cups and premium.
in money were awarded to the successful competi-
tors ; parliament having, last session, granted the
liberal sum of 1,6001. to be distributed in this way
amongst the various agricultural associations
throughout the colony, in proportion to the exer-
tions of their members.
