LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPT. 17, 1864.

The summary of news which has reached us from I
China by the Calcutta mail contains nothing very
striking. We have of course no confirmation of the
report that Nankin had fallen into the hands of the
Imperialists, an event which, if it has really taken
place, would exercise a most important influence on
the war, and in fact virtually conclude the rebellion
by depriving the Taepings of their principal strong-
hold. According to the China 'Vail of July 29 the
retirement of Col. GORDON from active service had
apparently arrested the progress of affairs. An
expeditionary force from Soochow had indeed Elle-
ceciled in capturing the walled city of Chameing,
but not much else was doing. Chan-sing lies
between Woochow and Y,..-sing, and was abandoned
by the Taepings curing one of GoRDoN'S marches,
but was afterwards rtoecupied by them. It i 8
CLit fly important from its position with regard to
Woochow, a city of f-o ne consideration. The re-
tirement of Colonel GORDON is openly deplored by
this • journal as protracting indt.fiL.i!ely the termi
nation of the war ; and the siege of the two cities,
Nankin and Woochow, which, under his assaults,
would probably have been speedily reduced to sub
jection. However, it seems that, although retired
frill] active service in the field, Colonel Goit
U 0 N. has by no means abandoned the Irnpe,
rislist C.ILISf.'. The reported capture of Nan-
kin is rendered probable by the fact of his
having personally visited that city and inspected
its walls, going so close to then as 50 yards dis-
tance. On his return he communicated the result
of his survey, with his advice thereupon, to the
Chinese Commander-in-Chief, who was probably
