CHINA.

~
The following summary of news is from the China
Mail of the 23rd of June :

During the pest fortnight nothing has occurred to ruffle
the perfect smoothnees of our relations with China and
Japan. It is remarkable that we should hear of no steps,
either successful or otherwise, having been taken to appre-
hend the murderers of the late Mr. Heusken, secretary
to the American legation ; with the return of Mr.
Aloock this matter seems, contrary to just expec-
tations of many, to have been entirely bushed up.
Had he declined to return until those murderers
bad been produced, ss he evidently insinuated his belief that
they could be produced at the will of the Japanese govern-
ment, his flight would have been better understood ; but
from the utter silence that prevails upon this matter, we
may conjecture that he has condoned the offence, and been
only too glad to return upon the strength of good promises
for the future. Mr. Mooch's fitness for his position has by
no means been determined, and the conduct of the American
ambassador has lost none of its first lustre.

The intelligence from Pekin ii7cositinedto the announce-
ment that a very good understanding prevails between the
Chinese representative and those of foreign nations.
From New-Chwang, the newly-opened port in Manchuria,
account. have been received, describing it as surrounded
by a low, flat, swampy country, without a blade of grass,
where cattle are difficult to be procured, and fruit mares.
In other respects the prospect. of this port are not en-
mliragi9From Cen-tain we hear that the Prussian Consul has
been carrying on some negotiations with Tung-chow. We
believe that Baron &denial wanted to go to Pekin, but
could not arrange matters with the official at Tien-gin ; he
should have made his application at bead-quarters. The
trade in native junks at this port is said to have been quite
paralysed by the civil commotions in the southern pro-
vinces, and particularly by the fall of Soochow. The pros-
pects of a brisk foreign trade springing up here are still ae
lively as ever. Mr. Mongan, the acting consul, has estab-
lished Custom-house regulations.
By the last accounts from Cheefoo everything was dull,
house rent high, and the people very extortionate, which
simply means as noxious to get large profits as we are our-
selves whenever we nin command the market. The climate
is reported to be pleasant, 70 degrees being the maximum
temperature.
The Yang-tare river all above Nankin has risen so con-
siderably that all the low grounds around Hankow seemed
to be under water, and the inhabitants of the city were
beginning to get alarmed for their own safety ; the current
of the river had increased in force, and good anchorage for
ships was becoming difficult to obtain. There was some
activity being shown in native trade, but no demand ex-
isted for foreign import.. The rebels still persevere in desul-
tory efforts to capture Chinkiaug.
The principal news from Shanghai, relate* to the breaking
up of what was termed the "Chines. Foreign Legion," a
force composed of Europeans whose love of a vagabond life
or distaste for the restrictions of discipline bad prompted
their desertion from the army, the navy, and the merchant
service of the countries they belonged to. The Imperialist.
increased the number of these men by a bribe of 33 dolt per
month and rations, besides what they might plunder hem
the conquered. Apart, however, from the offenoe of deer-
ton, they violated an ordinance established six
years ago in anticipation of such possibility as is
actually taking place. The neutrality ordinance of
1K53 forbids our subjects to serve in either of the
armies who are carrying on the domestic war in China. This
legion was brought to its end through a daring but ill-
managed exploit of recent occurrence. On the 11th of May
last this band, who by various muses were reduced to 70,
made a night attack upon Taing.poo, in which, owing to the
failure of great assistance promised by their Chinese
brethren in arms, they were completely worsted. One
hundred dollars each was to have rewarded their success, but
after fighting one hour and forty minutes their attempt
became hopeless. At dawn 23 of the European assailant.
were kora de combat, along with five Chinestes. The fol.
Piracy and murder have hers common of late in the
neighbourhood of Shanghae, and serious annoyance his been
felt from the numerous attacks which have been made upon
individuals travelling into the country for the purchase of
silk. One purchaser was robbed el 4,000 dollars, sod others
have suffered in a smaller degree. A gunboat has bees on
dined to proceed up the rime and armies in certain localities
which were becoming notorious for daring boat piracies.
This state of matters is attributed to the rebellion, end the
proximity of both armies to Shanghse ; stragglers and de-
serters are continually falling away from the ranks they
belong to, sad mining it. the most lawless pursuits.
It may be stated that the four gentlemen who formed
the overland party from Cantos to Haakow, returning by
way of Shanghais, paid a Ant to Nanking. They found
the Rev. Mr. Roberts in his dwelling there, in excellent
health and full Chinese costume. The church which the
Teen Wang was said to be going to build for him has not
been begun yet, but the chief permit. him to address his'
audience in the open air, which he says he is accordingly in
the habit of doing.
The only item of news from Ningpo is that the foreign
customs collectorste gives utter dissatisfaction to the
Chinas merchants, many of whom having vowels which fly
the British flag, come under its regulations. They are
escaping the delay and trouble by removing their trade
into native bottoms. Heavy floods have been reported in
the vicinity of Hanchow, and many dead bodies along with
much debris have been floated down the river past Ningpo.
From Fuhchas we have no news of general 'stalest

about October, the native authorities there ate taking mea-
sures for defending the city on their own amount, and have

AUSTRALIA.

MELBOURNE, Juits 25.

We have just gone through what is magnilo-
quently called a "ministerial crisis," for in every-
thing they say and do our small notabilities must
needs mimic the statesmen of the mother country,
The present administration, which is composed of
eight or nine mediocrities who were ballotted for
little more than six months ago by the majority in
the Legislative Assembly which displaced the last
government, has just been declared not to possess
the confidence of the house or the country by 37 to
19. The debate preceding the division lasted,
without interruption, from Friday afternoon until
noon on Saturday, and was more remarkable for
angry feeling than for eloquence. Instead of re-
signing, the defeated government succeeded in pre-
vailing upon his Excellency to dissolve the Assem-
bly. As the parliament has only been in existence
for eighteen months, and as the ministry
wore not defeated upon any question of policy,
this act of the Governor has excited general
disapprobation ' • and the more so because it was
well known that a combination of the leading men
of the Assembly had taken place, which would have
resulted in the formation of the ablest and strongest
administration the colony has pet had. Messrs.
Haines, O'Shanassy, Nicholson, Michie, and Duffy
had agreed to take office together, as the only ques-
tion upon which they were formerly divided (the
disposal of the crown lands) had been settled, and
no obstacle now exists to their harmonious co-ope-
ration. Finding the Governor bent on a dissolu-
tion, the majority in the Assembly moved and car-
ried an address to his Excellency, indirectly depre-
cating this course, and hereupon arose a very acri-
monious discussion. Personalities of the coarsest
kind were indulged in, and the Speaker's
voice could not be heard at in consequence of
the uproar which prevailed.
The family immigration scheme sanctioned by
she legislature has turned out so well that it is
probable a large sum will be voted for this purpose
when parliament re-assembles. Three thousand
passage warrants were issued, each applicant con-
tributing a certain proportion himself and the
government defraying the rest. The beneficial
operation of the scheme, in a moral and social point
of view, may be estimated from the following state-
ment dß* relationship borne by the persons sent
for from the mother country to the applicants in this
colony :—Husbands, 203 ; wives, 370 • children
under 12, 656 ; mothers, 68 ; sons, 82 ; 'daughters,
117 • brothers, 472 ; sisters, 565 ; cousins, 346 ;
friends, 91. The proportion of the sexes was as
follows :—Males, 1,247 ; females, 1,723. The
number of nominees residing in the country dis-
tricts of Great Britain was 1,894 ; in the towns,
1,076.
By the mail which carries this a gentleman
named Mallam visits England, furnished with the
necessary funds for bringing out the All England
Eleven to contend with our colonial cricketers on
their own ground. The enterprise has been under-
taken at their own risk by Messrs. Spier' and
Pond, of the Café de Paris in this city (a house as
celebrated here as the Albion or the London Tavern
at home), and the scheme is warmly approved of
by his Excellency the Governor, and by the most
influential people in the colony. We hope to see the i
Eleven amve n the Great Britain, which is due at the

latter end of November next. They may be certain
of receiving a " highland welcome,' and of being
treated with the utmost hospitality during their
stay. As our summer coincides in point of time
with your winter, the cricketers will be able to visit
the Antipodes without losing a season, and their
coming will be looked forward to with great eager-
ness by a population which, dnribg the summer
months, is literally cricket mad.
The yield of our gold fields exhibits a gradual
falling off, but increasing activity is observable in
other branches of productive industry. A greater
luantity of land is being brought under cultivation,
and the growth of wine, oil, and silk, promises to
engage general attention, and to add largely to our
resources.

The only news of extra-colonial interest that we
receive from Australia relates to the New Zealand
war. The Melbourne Herald of June 25 says :
The aspect of affairs in New Zealand is still far from sa-
tisfactory. The hopes that were inspired that a prolonged
peace was at band appear unlikely to be realised at present.
On the clue side it is asserted that the insurgent. schemed
for this temporary cessation of hostilities in order that they
might gain strength by a tion and an addition to
their forces. On the other many of those most deeply
interested in the affairs of New Zealand still insist that
there is much reason for blame in the conduct of the execu-
tive, and that by a different mode of proceeding peace and
safety may still be restored and aerated without bloodshed.
But we are spared from further comment by the timely
arrival of our Alm from Sydney, which enable us to give
the latest intelligence up to the hour of our going to press :
The Lord Ashley brings news from Nelson to the
12th inst., and from Auckland, Wellington, and Taranaki
to the Bth.--- . _

—Tire intelligence is of the most gloomy and foreboding
character. Looking at the present threatening upset of
affairs the prediction of a native chief, at an early stage of
the New Zealand entente, via, " that it 'mak' spread, and
spread, till the whole island was in a blaze," seems likely to
have a speedy aid complete veritlcatian.

The Taranaki Herald of the Bth says :—" A native from
Ngatiruanui, Te Retie, of the How, arrived during the
week, and antes that that tribe will not surrender any of the
plunder, and that they, have joined the king with the
=part of the natives on the coast as far as Wellington.
natives from the other side of Cook's Strait have acme
across and are at Mataitawa. The temper of the Mien-
ruanui is mid to be still for making a clean sweep of the
Pakeba. They have an immense quantity of settlers' stock,
m carts, farming implements, and plunder of all descriptions.
The Taranaki tribe, from Warm down (if not nearer home),
a with the Brakeman, and it is rumoured that a
letter Las been received by these tribes from Waikato, not
on any amount to make teems with the Patella."
The Southern Cross of the 4th inst. states that there hes
been much discussion of late as to the beet manner of
dealing with the natives, should strong moisture become
nsoemary. A raid into Waikato In been urged.
and the question has been openly discussed, whe.
thee inch a step would be likely to be attended'
with success. The doctors differ, and General Cameron has
not yet decided. The difficulties which must be encoun-
tered in such an invasion are on the one hand spoken of so
lightly, that one would imagine the speakers and the
writers were talking of a military march through an open
civilised country ; whilst, on the other, they are mug.
genteel to such an extent as to appear insurmountable, even
to men who have surmounted difficulties by flood and field
is every part of the world. Truth, of course, lien in the
middle. The Waikato presents formidable difficulties, no
doubt, to an invader ; but not, we think, so great as some
imagine. They are to be overcome, but they must be
hoed wily. It is a country in which it would be
almost impossible to follow up an enemy and bring
them to a decisive engagement. Traversed by bush,
swamps, and mountain ranges, a native enemy,
with their local knowledge and their individual indepen-
dence in action, might for months, if not for years, harass
and evade their pursuers, and retreat from fastness to (aut-
ocrat, leaving nothing behind them worth taking bat de-
serted camping places. The pick and shovel must do the
work of the rifle. 'The country must be sapped with a high
road, and if they wish to fight, the enemy must come out
from their strongholds end fight round the working patties.
When they are beaten beak there will be no necessity for
following them tip ; the road will gradually penetrate the
country, and where there is a road British soldiers, pro-
perly commanded, ought to be able to bold their own. Law
and the rights of property would soon follow the steady ad.
vanes of British power, and a road made wrier the protec.
tion of British arms would soon become the highway of
civilisation.

On the 7th, the same journal writes :—The authorities
have at last determined to take the ball by the horns, and
to insist on the supremacy of the law in this colony. In a
proclamation by the Governor, which has just been made
public, the Waikato; are enjoined to "yield implicit obe-
dience to what the law requires for the pubic welfare," and
the alternative is unmistakably intimated. There is to be
no longer an imperium in imperio in New Zealand, King's
flags are to be hauled down, native lands are to be taken,
if required, for making mads, with ss little compunction
as an English gentleman's park is invaded when A is found
advisable to run a railway through it.

Of the gold fields the Melbourne Herald writes :
The total amount of gold brought down by escort for the
three months ending the 214 Jaw, 1861, is 464,910 ounces.
wing 526,491 ounces for the corresponding period of 1880,
thus showing a decrease on the quarter of 72.581 ounces.
For the mouth ending the 21st June, 1861, the quantity
brought down has been 160,586 ounces, against 169,761
ounces for the corresponding month of 1860, or a decrease of
9,197 ounces only.

RIR GEORGE BOWYER ON NAPLES AND SICILY.

The following appears in the Times of this

morning :
Sir,-1 shall be obliged by your publishing the enclosed
letter, which I have addressed to Lord Palmerston, upon
the subject of recent occurrences in Naples and Sicily.
Your obedient servant,
Temple, Aug. 13, 1861. Groans Bowser.

" Temple, Aug. 12, 1861.
"My Lord,—l feel it my duty, es parliament is no longer
sitting, to call your attention to the following facts regard-
ing the tyrannical government which now oppresses the
Eyed.= of the Two Sicilia :
' On the lot Met, 64 persons reported to be legitimists
were seeessinated in Naples. The Cardinal Riario Storm,
Archbishop of Maple*, who, for his princely charity and his
devoted ears of the sick and the poor when the cholera
raged at Naples, is called the second St. Charles Borromeo,
has been forcibly expelled from the kingdom. Forty axle-
leaks, among whom are four bishops, shared the esme
fate. A mob of persons in the pay of the police insulted
those venerable exiles. The people shed tears as their
saintly bishop took leave of them. Arrests and terror con-
tinue, and the prisons ere full of the victims of Piedmon-
t... tyranny. On the 2nd. inst, two ladies were arrested in
tat street& The editors of four newspapers have been
thrown into prie.on without legal form, and their papers
suppressed. Meanwhile the Sardinian troops continue to
overrun the provinces, setting everything on fire, pillaging,
and murdering.
"At Somata six suspected persons were shot., among
whom was an old man of 80, and a boy of 14.
" Four hundred insurgents were taken at Attletta. Being
taken to Salerno they mutinied ; 300 escaped, and 80 were
shot. Thirty houses in Auletta were burnt, several of the
chief inhabitants murdered, and the streets were filled with
deed and wounded.

" At Barabiano, veer Potensa, ten prisoners were shot in
cold blood. The Generale Pinelli and Calatore overrun
the Abruzzi and Paha, burning and destroying wherever
they go.
"Letters of the Bth state that the steamer Garigliano
reached Naples on the 3rd from Reggio, having on board
some officers of the army of Fraud' 11., who are accused of
`not inspiring sufficient confidence,' and will be sent out of
the country. The Duke of Cajaradlo is still in prison,where
he has been for several months, and no one knows when be
will be brought to Dial. During the night of the god seven
persons were assassinated. Besides this four dead bodies were
found near the Capuan gate. A body was washed ashore at
the Mole, on which there were twenty.four poniard wound:.
In Sicily the feeling is so strong against the invading
government that the ministerial deputies were obliged to
remain on board the steamer which -brought them larck to
Palermo, because the people gave them to understand that
if they landed their lives would not be safe. These aro
the pnncipal and mast recant facts.
"The whole kingdom is in a state of anarchy and imur-
rectiom and Cialdini, with full powers and fl0,01:10 men, his .;
not been able to make himself master of the siturti.u.
The meson is that the body of the nation are determined
maintain their independence against the Piednioutews
invaders, and their right to be governed by their lawful
king.
"For this state of affairs the British government. which
has lent its influence and support to the Piedmonte, in-
vasions, is responsible, and her Majesty's ministers will be
milled to account when parliament re-assembles for the
crimes of the Piedmontese in South Italy, and the °ppm'.

THE Naw Acr ON VOLUNYEZRA TOLL ExEmt-rf..s
—The new act to exempt the volunteer forces of Great
Britain from the payment of tolls has just been printed.
This statute, it is hoped will settle the vexed question. and
all that remains is to make public the penalties incurred 51
infringing the act. It provides that say toll collector or
other person who shall take, demand, or receive any deem,
duties, pontage, or toll, for or in respect of any volunteer
officer or soldier, home, or other beast, carriage, waggon. of
eart, entitled to exemption under this act, shall forfeit and
pay for every offence a sum not exceeding 51. Further the
act declares that any peewits who shall falsely and frnndu•
leutly represent himself tobe a volunteer officer or soldier,
with the intent toevadepayment of *Deduce, dutie,,iantige.
or toll to which lie would otherwise beliahle.shall forfeit sod
pay for every offeoos a sum not exceeding 5/. The net is not
to extend to Ireland. It arum into operation on 'Tuesday,
the 6th instant, when it received the royal assent.

Atrium') Ftimm.—Two alarming fires broke
eat duriag last night, one ath:Npkin and the other at
Jutish-town. The first in the premises be-
lunging to Mr. James Hall, Mayfield Lodge, situate in
Addisoo.ganlens, Notting-hill. The clue of the outbreak
could not ,be learned, but, freekthe fact of the building
not being quite finished, it is thought that some of the
workman might have dropped • light amoopt the wood-
work. In spite of the suet stresuous exertions on
the part of the firemen and all pneenttlhde
flames could not be extiogyished metal they had bu
through the roof of the premises, and in need the two
adjoining house.. It could sot he eseertsined whether Mr.
Hall was insured or not. —The other Ire took place in the
premises of Mr. Welliteer, Ihmendzsper, he., No. 9, Charles-
place, Prince of Wales's-road, Renlish-town. The engines
of the pariah and the Linden Brigade men moon in attend-
aoce, but conaidmehle denims Was dose to the stock in
trade and the building before the Ire could be extinguished.
The home was insured is the Royal and London Fire-offices.
FATAL KICK ROY A DIIAT-Elolllll.—Thin morn-
ing Mr. Brest held en inquest at the Silver Cop, Cromer-
street, Omy'e•ins•rearl, es the body of Ada Gray, aged nine
can, who led her life through • kick from a amphorae.
It appeared that on Tuesday week the deceased was play-
ing a the Old St. Pancras-read, when she ran across the
road towards Aldenhamatreet for the purpose of joining
other children, who, with oyster shells in their hands,
were soliciting the pmeers.by to " remember the
grotto." As she crossed the road, • dray, belonging
to Reid's Brewery, was turning out of Alilenhem-street,
which has • slight decline in the road, when the child, con•
fused by • rubbish cart, which was passing at the same
time, ran against one of the dray horses, and fell. The
wheels were prevented from going over her by • man, who
instantly sensed her, and finding blood pouring from
her body, he conveyed her to the Royal Free Hospital.
Mr. Hill, the house surgeon, found that she had MI-
Wood a compound fracture of the left leg through a ter-
rible kick from the horse, scraping away all the soft parte--
the Beth, arterica, and large vessels—and exposing the base.
The only chance sof saving the child's life being by imme-
mediate amputation, as otherwise mortification must ban
set in, the limb we. skilfully taken off at the
thigh by Mr. Omit. The poor child anis ived the
operation osly three days, and on Friday she died from
the shock to the system. The mother of the deceased,
widow of • chemists assistant, was fetched from her work
to find her child in the pitiable coodition above described.
Several respectable witomen entirely exonerated the driver
of the dray from all blame. The jury Wormed a verdict of
" Accidental death.'
THE FATAL EXPLOPTON OF • PARATTIN LAMP. —Lad '
sight Mr Brent resumed and concluded the inquiry, at the
'Beak of England Tavern, Patidingtou, on the body of Mr.
Montmorency Hemet Stokes, clerk in a surveyor's office,
and late of 1 Desborough-plane, ilarrow•road, who lost his
life through endeavouring to suppress the flames in which
his wife (previously deceased) was enveloped through the
explosion of a paraffin lamp. The particulars of the former
ispory hare ay been given in our columos. The jury
Monied the following verdict :—" That the deceased did
die from the mortal effects of burns and other injuries of
divan parts of his body, oecesioeed by his having become
burned-by an explosion of the vapour of • certain substance
imbed paraffin oil. but which was not the paraffin oil sold by
a body called the Paraffin Oil Company, and that the ex-
C:lnaforesaid, and the death of the mid Mootmorenev
t Stokes wu caused accidentally, and by misfortune.b
THE LAIR MELANCHOLY CABE OT DIOWNINCI AT
POODLE& —Oor correspondent writesfrom Peebles yesterday
evening—" Intelligence was received here this afternoon to
the effect that the dead bodies of the two unfortunate
youths, Wight and 13allenden, who accidentally fell into
the river Tweed on Monday, have been found ' • the MO at
Melrose Cauld, sod the other at Tweed Bridge, three miles

Tier Moomi.—Notwithstanding the deluges of
rids in the early part of Monday, several of the more ewer
sportsmen were out upon the moors, sear Crieff, before
t 6 sunshine burst upon the hills is the afternoon, and
were remarkably succeseful. The Western* Crania,
Aberceirney, and other moors were not, however,
opened, is coneepeuce of the stormy weather ;
hut most of them would be commenced yesterday.
The various hills in Perthahire an even better stocked than
was anticipated, the coveys being stroeg, numerous, and
healthy ; and if the weather Mot been at all favourable, an
immense number of grouse would have fallen beneath
the marksmen's skill on the memorable "Twelfth."
As it is, the results. so far as they have come to
hand, form no index to the soon which may be
yet expected. On the Auchlioe range, Captain Brook Banks
and party, after • few hours' sport, killed 68 brace of
grouse, Derided a quantity e other game. The extensive
ranges of the Perth estate were opened with great vigour,
and, considering the short period the sportsmen were
out, with great sumac The Hon. Gilbert Illeathcote,
M.P., and Colonel Turret shot over the Muir of Orchid
about two o'clock in the afternoon, and bagged 26
brace of splendid grouse. The atmd skill of the party, it
is said, was well tested by the solidus,. and advanced 'con-
dition of the birds. The same party were ce the moon
yesterday. On the Clathick range IS brace awl 2
white harem were secured in a brief space during
the afternoon. At Atichnafres H. I. Thompson,
and party shot upwards of 30 brace of grouse, besides mine
of other descriptions. His Royal Highness the Maharajah
Dhuleep Singh and party enjoyed capital sport at Anchtyre,
near Killimduring the short perindthey were upon the bills,
and killed upwards of 30 brace of grouse. On the Canadian
rune the sport was likewise good. A number of boxes sod
hampers of game have already left per the Crieff Junction
Railway for the youth, and on the whole the seems has been
rommeuced auspiciously. Deer stalking ham not yet bwan.
tut the prospects are brighter than for many yeare.—Ania-
