THE NEW WAR IN CHINA.

Since February last we have been at war, if
fighting several battles, the capture of several towns,
and killing several thousands of people, may be
taken as signs that a new contest in Ct.ina has be-
gun. At present we act as allies with those Chinese
troops who were so lately our enemies, and fight
against the Taipings who were engaged in fighting
against the Tartar Government at the same time as
ourselves. For several months past our soldiers at
the North have been drilling the Tartar troops, and
drill-sergeants are behind at Takoo (the place so
memorable as the scene of Tartar perfidy when
Admiral Hope was defeated), to drill, perhaps, the
very men who were agents in that perfidy. Indeed,
our troops are now withdrawn to assist the same
Admiral Hope at Shanghai in his endeavours to
protect the Government which he and these troops
were sent out to fight against. The Chinese are
famous for doing things in a precisely contrary way
to ourselves ; but nothing they do could so surprise
us as this extraordinary contrariety in the proceed-
ings of our officials in China. Chinese agents are
in England to arrange for the assistance of a fleet
of gunboats ; they even name the naval captain they
wish to be sent in command; his salary is' fixed ;
and though Mr. Layard has declared that the Go-
vernment have not yet come to any decision in the
matter, still it is probable that the request of the
Chinese Government will be granted, for the French,
who are again cur allies in this new war, have
named the officer they have appointed to take com-
mand of the artillery in the Chinese army. Before
the arrival of the last mail from China, Mr. Layard
stated that it was the intention of the Government
to supply the Chinese with arms and munitions of
war at cost price. These matters are important, for
they serve to prove that it has been a settled inten-
tion for some time past to throw off the mask of
neutrality, and help the Chinese Government in
earnest to put down the rebellion. Though several
battles have already been fought, the Gazette has
long kept silence regarding them; in fact, very
little is known about them. ThiS new war, how-
ever, is a much more serious affair than is generally
believed.—London Review.

during his career fought some terrific battles, with varied

of the ring gained the reputation of a civil, well-conducted

he was a formidable opponent. A slashing encounter was
fully expected to take place, and although the police were
again on the alert to mar the proceedings, yet the few bouts
through were not only
that were gone of rare excellence
for the spirit and determination in which they were fought,

TEETH.-By MR. ESKELL'S INVENTION
(Royal Seal granted 17th July, 1860), Sets or partial
Sets of Teeth, exquisitely enamelled to nature, are made and
fitted in a few hours by means of his patented soft elastic and
imperishable base of the colour of the gum, to which it ad-
heres with wonderful tenacity, dispensing with springs or
unsightly fastenings, and defying detection by the closest
observer. The peculiar attribute of Mr. Eskell's invention
is, the readiness with which these teeth can be re-adapted to
any change of the mouth (even by the wearer); and as they
act independently of all disturbing causes which affect teeth
of ordinary construction, they are guaranteed to last a life
time, as well as for mastication and articulation. Mr.

THE IN7E.RNATIONAL EXHIBITION.

Yesterday again was a very good day at the build-
ing, the total numbers being 65,305, of which 58,840
were by payment, and 6,465 by season tickets. Be-
yond the mere crowd that at 3 o'clock filled nearly
every court and gallery there is little to record of
the visit except the capture of some pickpockets,one
of whom made such resistance that he was obliged
to be carried bodily down the nave by half-a-dozen
constables. Owing to the very strict watch that is
kept at all the entrances by the detectives, very few
of these gentry have yet succeeded in getting into
the building, though many have made the attempt
and been stopped at the doors. Some 15 or 20 who
since the shilling days commenced have managed
to enter were recognised before they were five
minutes in the interior, and were of course, at once
escorted out with a caution not to try it again_ Of
the articles lost and found daily in the Exhibition,
and brought to the police office, nearly 95 per cent.
are restored to their proper owners—the only things,
in fact, not claimed being such worthless rubbish
as old pockethandkerchiefs, copper brooches, and
things of the same kind not worth coming for.
The police, of course, have been the means by which
the property has been restored, and it is not a little
to the credit of a mixed body of men like the con-
stabulary to say that since the opening of the build-
ing not only have there been no complaints against
them, but that, on the contrary, hundreds of the
visitors have voluntarily come forward to express
their thanks for the ready and most civil aid as to
directing them to the various objects of interest,
&c., which they have met with from the police on
duty inside. On crowded days they are about the
most willing and efficient guides to the different
Courts to be found in the whole place. Since the ad-
ditional steam-power has been added to the Western
Annexe almost the whole of the great mass of ma-
chinery can now be seen in motion at the same
time. The effect when all are thus going together
is almost marvellous, though it has also the disad-
vantage of attracting such dense crowds as to make
the so called thoroughfare almost impassable during
the greater part of the day—almost, indeed, up to
6 o'clock, when the machines cease work altogether.

THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON'S OPINION OF THE
ENGLISH CAVALRY.—A day or two after our arrival in
Paris from Waterloo, Colonel Felton Hervey having entered
the dining-room with the despatches which had come from
Lon ion, the Duke asked, What news have you, Hervey?"
upon which Colonel Felton Hervey answered, " I observed
by the Gazette that the Prince Regent has made himself
Captain General of the Life Guards and Blues, for their
brilliant conduct at Waterloo." "Ah I " replied the Duke,
"his Royal Highness is our Sovereign,and can do what he
pleases ; but this I will say, the cavalry of other European
armies have won victories for their generals, but mine have
invariably got me into scrapes. It is true that they have
always fought gallantly and bravely, and have generally
got themselves out 9f their difficulties by sheer pluck."
The justice of this observation has since been confirmed by
the ch.trge at Balaklava, where our cavalry undauntedly
rushed into the face of death under the command of that
intrepid officer, Lord Cardigans—Reminiscences of Captain

Generally speaking our market is inactive. The business
doing is still confined to good and fine new hops for home

The arrivals of home-grown petat -es to these markets
since our last report have considerably increased, and about
6,000 bags have come to hand from Continental ports. The
trade consequently has been much less firm, and a fall in
many instances of 10d per ton has taken place in prices.
The imports are-130 bags from Stettin, 16 fr. m Ham-

THE VIG OUR OF YOUTH RESTORE]) IN
FOUR WEEKS by Dr. RICORD'S ESSENCE OF
LIFE.
This wonderful agent will restore manhood to the most
shattered constitution, whether arising from self-pollution,
excesses, nocturnal emissions, the effects of climate, or natu-
ral causes. The time required to cure the most inveterate
case is four weeks ; and, if used according to the printed in-
structions (which are very simple), failure is impossible.
This life-restoring remedy should be taken by all about to
marry, as its effects are permanent. It is acknowledged by
the medical press to be the greatest discovery ever made.
Success in every case is as certain as that water quenches
thirst.
Dr. Ricord's Essence of Life is sold in cases, with full in-
structions for use, at lls., or four quantities in one for 335.,
and will be sent to any part of the world, carefully packed,
on receipt of remittance or post-office order payable to Prout
and Co., Patent Medicine Warehouse, 229, Strand, London.

110-NEY MARKET.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The fineness of the weather during the past week
has caused a more cheerful tone in several depart
ments of business in the manufacturing districts.
At Leeds the woollen trade has shown symptoms of
improvement, athough buyers have acted with
great caution ; prices however have been well sus-
tained for light fabrics suitable for present use.
In Manchester there has been a fair inquiry for
both cloths and yarns, without any material change
to record in prices. The hosiery and lace trades of
Leicester and Nottingham have been more active,
although a consideraule number of the operatives
are still unemployed. In the hardware districts,
viz., of Birmingham, Sheffield, Walsall, and Wol-
verhampton, no material alteration is recorded
either as regards the business done, or the prices
current.

The traffic receipts of the Great Western Rail-
way of Canada for the week ending the 28th ult.
amounted to £9,836, against £9,422 last year.
There was an active inquiry for cotton in the
Liverpool market on Saturday, and prices were
rather firmer. The sales were about 8,000 bales.
A small supply of gold, viz., £2,000, was sent
into the Bank on Saturday.

The True Britain has arrived from Port Phillip
with £129,196, and the E. A. Bright with £15,888.
Th e Canada from America has brought £lO,OOO,
the Tagus from Lisbon £1,609, and the Kangaroo
from New York £171,300 in specie.

There is still an upward tendency in the rates
of discount, and bankers and brokers are proceed-
ing with increased reserve, owing to an impres-
sion that an advance may be shortly experienced.
Except in special cases, where the paper offered
for negotiation is of a very superior character, the
mercantile public are therefore compelled to pay
full terms for the accommodation they require,
and within the last few days there has been a de-
cided augmentation in the number of enquiries at
the Bank of England.

T. P.ENINSULAR

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-
ship Tagus, Captain W. B. Hall, arrived at South-
ampton yesterday at 1 p.m., with mails from Lis-
bon of the 7th inst., and from Oporto and Vigo of
the Bth, in charge of Lieut. Balfour, R.N., naval
mail agent. Fresh westerly winds, with pretty
fine weather, were experienced as far as Ushant.
The Tagus brought 44 passengers (viz., 36 first-
class, three second, and five deck), £1,609 in specie,.
398 half-cheats of oranges, 280 cases of eggs, 49,
cases of potatoes, and 11 packages of general mer-
chandise.

When the packet left Lisbon the Governmfant
had suspended the contemplated transmission of
troops from the capital to the Northern Provinces,
where the tumults appeared to have been of slight
importance, promoted under pretext of opposition
to the new system of taxation.
The debate respecting the Sisters of
,Charity bad
commenced in the House of Deputies, and, being
made a political question to turn out the Government,
was likely to continue many days. The public seemed
to take little interest in it.

The report that King dom Luiz I. was in treaty
to marry the Princess Maria Pia, daughter of the
King of Italy, gained ground in Lisbon, and was
very popular with the people.
The Lisbon exchanges by this packet at three
months are—London, 534, bills over; Paris, 528 ;
Hamburg, 48 ; Amsterdam, 421 ; Genoa, 524.
Three per Cent. Stock, 441 to 45 ex dividend.
The Prussian gunbrig Hela, the America corvette
St. Louis, and the usual Portuguese squadron were
at Lisbon.

Heavy rains were falling at Oporto when the
Tagus called off that port.
At Vigo several anchor-barges were at work over
a sunken Spanish steamer.

On the 10th inst., off Ushant, the Tagus spoke the
Royal Mail steamer Parana, with the outward
Brazil mails, and a British sailing corvette, bolth
standing to the south-west,
The Tagus will leave Southampton again o•n
Saturday next, with the outward mails for Vigo,
Oporto, and Lisbon.

MARK-LANE.

Much inactivity prevailed in the demand for English
wheat in the leading country markets held on Saturday,
and prices had a drooping tendency. All descriptions of
spring corn moved off heavily at barely previous rates.
The continental markets continued very quiet. Advices
from New York state that both wheat and flour were rather
dearer, although the export demand was limited.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were less extensive. From abroad we received 27,100 qrs.
of wheat,. 14,472 barley, 30,0510at5, 2,154 beans, 2,816 tares,
30 linseed, 4,458 rapeseed, 22 sacks and 2,424 barrels of
flour.

There was very little fresh English wheat on sale in to-
day's market, but several samples were offered which had
been left unsold at the close of business on Friday. The
total show of samples was moderate, and their general con-
dition satisfactory. For both red and white qualities, the
trade was quite as heavy as on Monday last, and, in order
to effect sales, a further reduction of from is to 2s per
quarter was submitted to ; indeed, an almost general fall of
2s took place.

We were well supplied with foreign wheat, a fair portion
of which was of superior quality. The trade was very dull
for all descriptions, and prices, compared with this day
se'nnight, declined quite is per quarter.
For floating cargoes of grain the demand ruled inactive,
and the quotations had a drooping tendency.

Malting barley was very scarce, and the few samples on
offer changed hands at full currencies. Grinding and dis-
telling sorts, the foreign supply of which was large, sold
heavily, yet no material change took place in their value.
Fine malt was in moderate request at late rates, but in•
ferior and medium parcels met with very little attention.
The supply of English oats was small; of foreign large.
Fine samples moved off steadily, and prices were fairly
supported ; otherwise, the oat trade was dull, and in some
instances the currencies ruled in favour of buyers to the
extent of 6d per qr.

Beans were in short supply, and the market for them
was firm, at full quotations.

Peas, the supply of which was small, moved 3ff steadily
at quite previous rates.
In all kinds of flour, sales progressed heavily, on rather
easier terms.

7HE BUBSTING OF A SLUE,E IN fiLEE
FENS.

- -
On Saturday Mr. E. Fellowes, M.P., chairman of the
Middle Level Drain.age Commissioners, and other raems'eers.
of that body, visited the scene of the disaster which has
happened to the great sluice at the outlet of the middle
level drain into the river Ouse, at St. Germains. Mr.,
Ifawkshaw, C.E., had previously received a carte blanche
to adopt all possible measures to secure .the protection of
the extensive tract of country which is threatened with
inundation, and all last week precautionary measures wore
actively carried on. The irruption of the' tidal water
threatened injury to the banks of the di in, which, though
substantially constructed, were never intended to sustain
such a pressure, especially as the soil of the feels is of a
loose spongy nature. It was considered neceseary, there-
fore„ to take immediate measures for damming up the
drain, and between. 200 and 300 men were up to yesterday
working by shifts day and night, under the immediate
superintendence of Mr. Lunn, who has the assistance of
Mr. Leather, contractor of Wisbech. With the view of
forming a dam, Mr. Lunn selected a spot about 300 yards
above the outfall, upon which a large number of men were
at once set to work upon both sides of the drain. The re-
sident farmers have sent all the men they could, and a
large quantity of earth has been collected and thrown over
the sides of the banks to form a dam. A considerable
number of sack_;: have also been filled with earth, and sunk,
as a portion of the loose earth is washed away as fast as it
is thrown in. Serve lighters have also been sunk, as fasterr
and consolidate the formation of the dam ; but unless it is
completed by to-day (Monday) great fears are entertained
for the safety of the surrounding country, as the spring
tides will be at their height on Wednesday. In order, Da
the meantime, to lessen the danger in the upper part of thee
drain other sluices have been drawn, so as to allow the
tidal water to pass freely to and fro. Some persons contend
that it will not be possible to rtop the drain by the mode
now adopted, but that it will be necessary, commencing at
to construct a series of sluices
aone ibelownthi gthheer
other,up th the ap.orno.i
the
" throttling" system. Eeett
if the dam is successfully c Imp leted by the time required,
the restoration of the sluice will probably be a more pro-
tracted and expensive operation nean its original construc-
tion ; and another difficulty will' result from the present
state of things, viz., that the drab:tot:re of the middle level
will be brought to a standstill utile& powerful pumping
machinery is erected and another outlet e'Ound for the water.
The ruined sluice was erected about 15 years since by Mr.
Brogden, of Manchester. It is stated that various altera-
tions have been made in it since it left the contractor's
hands, and it probably suffered in consequence.
