FOREIGNERS 1N CHINA,

The Manchester Examiner publishes the following ex-
tract from a letter just received from the Rev. John
Chalmers, of the London Missionary Society, whose long
experience of the Chinese and his intimate knowledge of
their history make him well qualified to speak on the
present position of affairs in China :—" Canton, Sep-
tember 16. The China question seems hardly to
receive a thought in Europe just now, but the longer
it is delayed the more serious it will become. I dare
say you sometimes feel a little uneasy about the
safety of your friends in this barbarous place. We ara
not afraid, however, in the meantime. Canton is far re-
moved from the centre of the present hostile movement,
and has had enough of foreign fighting ; but there is every
appearance of a complete clearing out of all foreigners
from the north of China before they are frozen in for
another winter. Indeed, report says they have already got
notice from the Government to leave because they cannot
be protected ; and it is known that the American mis-
sionaries at Tangchow have sent an urgent request to
their consul to be safely removed from their station by
gunboat or otherwise. My own impression is that the
Chinese have in view the overthrow of the Tartar dynasty,
as well as the expulsion of Europeans, and that for the
accomplishment of this double object they—i.e., the
leaders of this project—are prepared to drive the whole
country into a state of anarchy and utter misery. They
know that China cannot do anything against a European
Power; but if there is no recognised Government in the
country at all, of course we must be driven away by the
lawless mob, and kept at bay by any new Government
that may arise, till new treaties are demanded and ob-
tained with more or less of force. I fancy the patriotic
literati of China would be prepared to sacrifice everything
for the hope of restoring their country to its old state of
isolation. This is what they want—neither more nor less.
It is not the missionaries, but all foreigners, be they
ministers, missionaries, or merchants, that they want to
get rid of."

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.
Scarlet fever has appeared among the troops quartered
in the Citadel at Plymouth, also at Tregantle Fort and
No. 4 Redoubt, in the same neighbourhood. -
The War-office authorities have given orders for the
trial at Chatham of a self-propelling torpedo, the inven-
tion of Mr. George Quick, of Portsea, Portsmouth.
This torpedo is described as being designed for deep-sea
fighting under all conditions of weather. The ono
now constructing for trial will carry a bursting charge
of 7001 b. weight of gunpowder, is 2ft. in diameter,
and is to travel a distance of 2,000 yarns, at any
depth below the surface of the water not exceeding 20ft.,
in 30 seconds.
When the General Depot Battalion is broken up at
Chatham—and nearly all the depots forming it have
received orders to join various regiments—it is expected
that the Ist battalion of the 15th Regiment will be sta-
tioned there on its arrival home from Bermuda. The
depot of the battalion is now at Chatham.
By order of the Secretary of State for War, the issue
of the Snider rifles to the 170,000 men constituting the
volunteer force of the country has at last commenced,
some thousands of the new weapons being now in the
hands of the corps first entitled by reason of their high
percentage of efficiency to receive.
Mr. Childers arrived at Portsmouth on Thursday from
London, and paid a visit to the Dockyard. The right hon.
gentleman will proceed to Portland in the Enchantress.
The body of Lieutenant Nugent, who was drowned
along with Captain Hatchell in Cork harbour more than
28 days ago, was found on Thursday morning within a few
hundred yards of that of his companion. The features
could not be recognised, and it was identified by the
clothes. _

man-of-war steamers are at present in the Tyne.
One of them is named the Medusa, and the name of the
other has not yet been ascertained.
A scheme of pay, arranged on an entirely original basis,
is to be applied to the junior clerks in the Admiralty.
Already this scale has been approved for the War Office,
and, the Civilian says, in a short time it. will come into
operation in the Admiralty. The new rule originated with
Lord Camperdown, and is as follows :—For the first three
years of service, £lOO per annum ; in the fourth year,
£l5O ; and thence by annual increments of 1:15 to a
maximum of £4OO.

Vice-Admiral Sir Henry Kellett was at Chefoo by the
last accounts with a large squadron of orrunboats. The
Chinese communities both at Peking and Shanghai, except
those holding positions under British rule, were behaving
themselves to foreigners in any way but a re-
spectful one. Among the passengers by the Norseman,
from the Cape, were Captain Watson, 11th Regiment, the
Hon. Mr. Dawnay, Captain Rolleston (the discoverer of
the diamond fields), and Deputy-Assistant-Commisiary-
General Granville.

The Thalia corvette, which is to convey Captain J. E.
Commerell, V.C., late in command of Her Majesty's
ship Monarch, to the command of the new station lie has
been intrusted with, and where lie will hoist the broad
pendant as Commodore of the Ships and Naval Establish-
ments of the Cape of Good Hope and West Coast of
Africa, left Sheerness on Wednesday with orders to call
in at Portsmouth and Plymouth.

BATH AND WELLS DIOCESAN CONFERENCE.—
The second tripartite conference of the clergy and laity
of Bath and Wells was held on Thursday at Bath, the
Bishop in the chair. There was a large attendance.
Resolutions were passed urging the Church to put forth
all her strength to perfect parochial schools throughout
the diocese, and the immediate raising of £lO,OOO to assist
in building, enlarging, and improving church schools in
the diocese.

A Gna, SHOT.—A girl, named Mary Rowlands,
aged 16 years, was shot yesterday morning by a sailor,
named William Powell. at Penyfrith, in Wales. It ap-
pears that the girl, who was a servant, obtained a week's
holiday from her master, and going home to her father,
met with Powell, her sweetheart, who had just returned
from a voyage. Being at the house of the father of the
girl, Powell saw a gun on a box, and, not perceiving that
it was capped, took it up, when it exploded, and blew off
the left cheek of the girl, killing her on the spot. On
seeing the result of his carelessness, Powell rushed out of
the use, calling " Murder," and screaming that he had
murdered the girl. He was then taken into custody.
The recovery in pressure which had commenced
at Valencia has continued slowly ; but a further decrease
of p. 15 inch has occurred at Heider. In the meantime a
fresh fall has taken place in the north of Scotland, and
along the Welsh coast. Temperature has fallen slightly
at Thurso and Wick, and the fall noticed in the south has
continued in the Straits of Dover and at Penzance. On
our west coasts, however, there has been a tendency to
rise. The wind increased to a gale from the northward
in the Irish Sea on Thursday night, and became fresh to
strong from the same quarter on our coasts generally.
Conditions are very little changed since then, except that
on our east coast the wind has moderated. Sqi,alls of
snow and hail have been very prevalent,
except in the
south of England, and thunder and lightning have
occurred at Thurso, lightning at Roche's Point. The
weather continues very unsettled. The sea is rough
except off the south coast—very high at Thurso.
Warnings have been repeated to the north and east
coasts.
