CHINA.

We take the following summary of news from

the China Overland Mail of the 29th of April :
" We reported in our last issue that Colonel Gor-
don's forces had met with a reverse, owing no
doubt to the Colonel not being able to be present in
the field in consequence of a wound received at
Kintang. We have now to state that Col. Gordon has
recovered from his wound, and is again in the field.
He has been successful as usual, On the 11th inst.
he attacked the rebels at a place called Waisoo,
where they were stroagly intrenched, and some-
what nnm,raue.

"The reports which have reached us state that
the Taepings were rather severely cut up, the
line of retreat being literally strewed with dead.
Previous to the action the Taepings mustered over
15,000 strong, while the Imperialists were not more
than 10,000. These rebels ha ring been dispersed
and their return to garrison prevented, the Impe-
rialist troops next made a move upon Cbang.chow-
too, which city they are now besieging. The seven
officers whom we reported as missing were found
dead, and their bodies have been duly interred.

" To all appearance the crushing of the Taeping
rebellion is simply a work of time, and it has been
affirmed that four months more will put an end to

" Our dates from Pekin are to the 21st ult., when
everything was moving quietly in the capitals

"From the Northern Ports we have no intelli-
gence of importance.
"With regard to Shanghai and the Yang-teze
river, there is, fortunately, not much to narrate,
rowdyism and foreign scoundreliem having bten
rather quiet of late.
" The ports on the coast furnish no intelligence,
and everything is quiet at Manilla and Canton."

ANECDOTES OF THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON lII.
With the future Emperor of France, when an exile
in England, I had been well acquainted. Ho had been a
constant subscriber to Her Majesty's Theatre, was a frequent
guest at my house, and had assisted at the afternoon fetes
given by me at my residence, The Chancellor's, at Fulham,
where he had entered heart and soul into the amusements
of the hour. Frequenters of these champetres entertain-
ments may remember one occasion when Prince Louis
Napoleon figured in the same quadrille with Taglioni, eerie:,
and Carlotta Grisi, having the director of Her Majesty's
Theatre vis-a-ais. The Prince and I frequently dined in
company at Gore House, the residence of the late Countess
of Blessington, where all that was distinguished in literature
and art was constantly assembled; and it may be worth
recording, in connection with the Prince's known firm reli-
ance on his destiny that at one of these dinners, when Count
d'Orsay was expatiating on the evidences that had come
before him of the popularity of the Prince (although, at that
time, the law forbidding any member of the Bonaparte
family to enter the country was still in force), the future
Emperor sat silent with a significant smile upon his face,
the moaning of which none could fail to interpret. On
another occasion, when I was alluding to the part played by
General Cavaignac in June, 1818, in firing upon the people
after the emeute had been quelled, the Prince drily, but in
an earnest manner, remarked, "That man is clearing the
way for me."—.Lumley's Reminiscences of the Opera.
CLOCI WORK IN ENGLAND.—" As a sample of English
clock work on a large scale, the works of this are probably the
